Chapter 1: My Wife, You Have To Live On Well
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°My wife, you have to live on well!¡±
On the rooftop of a high rise building, bullets were flying in every direction.
There was nowhere to hide.
Bai Qinghao was heavily injured as he held Fang Xinxin in his arms. Both of them fell off the building rapidly with a sharp whistling noise of the wind in their ears.
Mid-air, Fang Xinxin felt Bai Qinghao adjusting their positions to protect her from the impact.
A loud noise followed soon after.
Bai Qinghao had cushioned her from the fall.
Fang Xinxin lifted her head with some difficulty as sheid on top of him. Her lips were trembling. ¡°Bai... Bai Qinghao?¡±
He did not respond.
She reached her trembling hands up toward his nose. He was not breathing!
He... he was dead?
Fang Xinxin¡¯s lifeless eyes widened. As usual, all she could see was pitch-ck darkness.
The sticky liquid clinging onto her fingertips was the blood flowing out of his lips.
Even though she had lost her sight, she understood that he had protected her with his own body. His body had been crushed and his bones were shattered.
But she remainedpletely unharmed.
A loud cry of despair escaped her lips.
Bai Qinghao, you idiot!
If he had left her behind, he would have been able to escape safely!
Yet, he insisted on protecting her. She was blind and half-paralysed. Was sacrificing his life for hers worth it? Was it worth it?
Ever since they became engaged at a young age, she had fervently avoided him and stayed away from him.
Throughout their ten years of marriage, she had viewed him as a cunning snake. She had made countless attempts to cause trouble for him and escape.
Both before and after their marriage, she had caused innumerable problems for him and made his life extremely difficult.
He had punished her in rage, tying her down and taking her forcefully!
And she had hated him to death.
Yet, now that he was truly dead, why was her heart aching so painfully. It felt as if it was bleeding profusely.
It was in this moment that she finally understood, no matter who she was and how she looked, he had devoted his entire life to loving her and prioritising her over everything else.
She finally understood that he had already snuck his way into her heart a long time ago.
He was powerful and invincible, an existence that wasn¡¯t meant to copse. How could he die just like that?
A warm liquid dripped down from her eyes into her lips.
The taste of blood spread through her mouth.
They were tears of blood.
She was so badly entrenched in pain that she was shedding tears of blood.
She had been blind to fall for the wrong man. It was befitting that she lost her sight and became such a sorry figure!
And right now, she, the blind and half-paralysed woman, could not even take one final look at him.
A group of footsteps were approaching.
There were sharp cries, loud shouts and threats of death that had continued following them.
¡°My wife, you have to live on well!¡± His husky, low and heavy voice seemed to continue ringing in her ears.
Those were his final words.
Even after losing his life, his arms remained tightly wrapped around her waist as though he was frightened of losing her.
She had a unique ability. She could hide herself amongst the crowd and escape the pursuit.
However, he had loved her so much. How could she have left him to face death alone?
But now there was no way for her to fulfil his final request.
Without him, she could not live anymore.
She slowly lowered her head and leaned against his firm chest. His body was no longer moving, but it still seemed to carry his warmth.
With a powerful thought, a wave of energy flowed out from her. Her body instantly exploded, covering his body in blood.
In life, she had let him down.
In death, she would cling onto his body with her spirit.
If there was a way to turn back time, she would choose not to love Bai Chenxi, but to properly treasure Bai Qinghao and his love and never separate from him.
It hurts!
It really hurts.
Amidst the sharp pain, Fang Xinxin gradually opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, the sight of a man¡¯s face leaning close to her filled her vision. His brows were deep set and his eyes were distant. With his tall nose bridge and thin lips, he was an unbelievably handsome man.
Bai Qinghao!
This was the very face she had wanted to see moments before her death.
Could it be that God had pitied her and granted her the final wish? Was this her opportunity to see him again after being blind for so long?
She did not dare to blink as she stared at him with wide eyes.
Bai Qinghao sensed her gaze and thought that she was resenting him for forcefully taking her. His expression darkened immediately.
However, she seemed unaffected by his ice-cold, heavy gaze. She continued staring at him with her wide eyes.
She was fearful of missing even a second of this opportunity.
Fuck, she had been blind for so long. Now that she could finally see him, regardless of whether this was a dream or if she had be a spirit, she needed to take this in fully!
Bai Qinghao lifted his hand and pinched her chin. ¡°What is it? Do you wish to kill me?¡±
The aching pain from her chin caused her brain to instantly be fully alert.
How could she feel pain if she was already dead?
Right before her death, she had clearly beenying on top of him. Why was he suddenly above her? And, why did he appear to be alive?
He was alive!
He flipped over to get off the bed and stood with his back facing her.
He picked up the clothes from the chair and rapidly put them on.
In a few moments, he was properly dressed in his suit. He turned back with a chilly expression on his face.
The room seemed to turn colder because of his frigid aura.
But his gaze was heated. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I will feel guilty for this. You asked for it!¡±
Those words were so familiar!
His harsh words caused her to collect her haphazard thoughts.
She scanned the room and found it to be a hospital ward. There were torn remains of a hospital gown on the ground. It had been trashed thoroughly.
The chair by the window, the light gray curtains and the hospital bed she wasying on, everything looked familiar.
Even that faint crack on the left side of the wall was identical to that of the hospital room where he had taken her first time, ten years ago!
Could it be that she had returned to ten years ago?
The aching pain in her body confirmed the truth!
Heavens, he was still alive, and so was she. This was a miracle!
At this moment, she had yet to be paralysed. Her eyes were also unharmed.
Agitated tears blurred her vision.
Bai Qinghao looked at the tears brimming in her eyes. His gaze was frighteningly cold as though he wanted to cut her into pieces. ¡°What are you crying for! I told you before, you are my woman. Since you dared to betray me, you have to bear the consequences of your actions!¡±
Fang Xinxin recalled that in her previous life, she had eloped with Bai Chenxi, the man she loved at this time. However, they met with an ident along the way. Bai Chenxi fell into a ¡®serious¡¯a and was admitted into the hospital while her wrist was injured.
Under her request, the doctor arranged for Bai Chenxi to be ced in the same hospital room as her. Each of them had their own bed and were separated by a thin curtain.
Afterwards, Bai Qinghao took her forcefully in the same hospital room!

Although the hospital room appeared to be spacious, behind the curtains next to them, was in fact, Bai Chenxi¡¯s bed. He was still resting there.
He could not see through the curtains, but he could still hear them.
She recalled the first time Bai Qinghao took her forcefully in her past life.
That experience had been too difficult. As a result, after they were married, she remained frightened of him for long.
In fact, after she lost her innocence, the shame had caused her mind to almost copse. She had wanted to kill Bai Qinghao!
And she had even attempted to do so.
She nced at the fruit knife on the bedside table. In her previous life, she had taken that knife and charged toward Bai Qinghao. Even though he had managed to back away, she still caused injury to his abdominal area.
Afterward, he did not seek proper care for his stab wound. In the years that followed, whenever it rained, the old injury would ache.
She guessed that he wanted to remember how badly she had hurt him, and how strongly she hated him.
At this moment, she regretted those actions deeply.
She sniffled and nced down at her own body... this was truly...
Her weight right now... was at least 108 kilograms. She was even heavier than a pig!
Furthermore, on her small frame, her upper body, her arms and her legs... were multipleyers of fat...
Her skin had been quite fair in the past. However, in order to cause Bai Qinghao to dislike her, she had intentionally tanned herself to reach a darkened state.
The sight of her current figure was sufficient to burn her own eyes. She was amazed at Bai Qinghao¡¯s ability to eat her.
She lifted one hand to touch her face and immediately felt the little bumps on her skin. Even without a mirror, she could guess how ugly she appeared with all those pimples.
Right before she lost her sight, she had realised that after losing some weight, allowing her darkened skin to recover and seeking the proper treatment for her e-covered face, she actually was quite a beauty. In this life, she needed to quickly lose weight and recover so that she could obtain those good looks.
Her mind was suddenly filled with images from the past life. She took another nce at the knife and rushed to pull the nkets up. She wrapped her naked body up tightly, leaving only her head peeking out.
First of all, she really wanted to put something on...
But...
She nced at the ripped hospital gown on the ground. Bai Qinghao had torn it into shreds. There was no way for her to use it again.
Bai Qinghao noticed her gaze on the knife. He immediately narrowed his cold eyes.
He guessed that she wanted to stab him.
At this moment, his expression was frighteningly dark.
She had eloped with Bai Chenxi behind his back, and now, she was even thinking about killing him!
He curled his fists tightly and dug his nails into his skin.
He resisted the urge to strangle her to death, but the suppression was too much and the veins on his forehead began to show.
Crack, crack, crack!
Fang Xinxin heard the sharp cracking noise from Bai Qinghao¡¯s joints. He clearly wanted to punch someone.

Hisbat skills were undefeatable and his shooting skills were also frighteningly good. Moreover, he was a true, natural-born business talent. Thepanies under his name were involved in almost every industry and he directed arge financial group that was ranked first globally.
He had aplex background and since they were young, he had been the country¡¯s ultimate male idol!
She really could not survive his punch. His fists were tougher than steel. Even a single punch would take away half her life.
She rushed to shout at him. ¡°Don¡¯t hit me!¡±
It was only after the words escaped her mouth that she recalled, regardless of how much trouble she caused for him, he had never once raised his hand against her in her past life.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips curled up and his crazed eyes were filled with rage. ¡°You¡¯re still afraid of being hit?¡±
She nodded her head frantically.
He narrowed his eyes and watched her in a searching manner.
Something seemed to be amiss with her.
He had forcefully taken her in front of the man she loved. Wasn¡¯t she supposed to be screaming and shouting at him?
Earlier, she had been so agitated that she cried and bit him hard. His chest and arms were covered in scratches and bite marks from her.
He had thought that she would continue with her insane behaviour. To his surprise, she appeared much moreposed now. ¡°I¡¯m not so low as to hit you.¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t bear to hit me, you should say so directly.¡± Her lips seemed to carry a faint smile.
Her smile made him feel as though something was seriously wrong with her. Could it be that she had gone mad from the mental blow?
Fang Xinxin was genuinely happy.
They were both alive, how wonderful was this?!? She felt deliriously happy to the point where she wanted to jump on top of him! To hug him and kiss him!
However, right now, she was still undressed. She couldn¡¯t possibly jump on him while she was naked.
Furthermore, the current him hated her thoroughly and was extremely enraged by her actions.
She thought somewhat pitifully, since God wanted to give her a second chance, couldn¡¯t he have brought her back a little earlier? If that had been the case, she would never have eloped with Bai Chenxi.
Forget it. Obtaining a second chance was already a great miracle.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned colder. She was right. He truly could not bear to hurt her even though she had betrayed him!
Fang Xinxin watched his expression turn darker than coal. She understood that she had to ovee this difficult obstruction.
From what she recalled, in order to punish her for eloping, he would soon lock her up in the Yu Ting Vi.
That was the residence he owned outside the city center.
She did not wish to be locked up again.
Thus, she began to coax him with soft words. She said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry...¡±
He stared at her chubby face for three seconds and felt that she must have gone mad from anger.
Or perhaps, she was intentionally putting on an act to fool him, so that she could find an opportunity to kill him.
He did not change his expression. Since she wanted to y the long game, he would go along with her. ¡°Do you think that your actions are simple enough to only invite my anger?¡±
¡°What did I do?¡± She mumbled in a low voice.
¡°I met with a car ident while I was in Bai Chenxi¡¯s car. Why are you so angry?¡±
Even if he beat her to death, she would never admit that she had eloped with Bai Chenxi, even though that had genuinely been the case.
Otherwise, their rtionship would really be doomed.
Besides, from what she recalled, in order to secure his own life, Bai Chenxi never admitted to the truth about what had happened.
¡°You dared to do it, yet you won¡¯t admit to it?¡± Bai Qinghao seemed to instantly be overtaken with rage. The already frigid room was bing even colder.
She endured his heavy aura to ask him innocently. ¡°Admit to what?¡±
He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You dared to elope with Bai Chenxi. You are looking for death!¡±
If this had been in the past, she would already have been trembling in fright. Right now however, she was strangely unafraid of him.
She raised her eyebrow and said, ¡°Who told you I eloped with him?¡±
His face was dark and he stood there silently.
She knew clearly that it was her own good sister, Fang Manxue, who had given him this news.
Since he did not wish to answer, she did not press him to do so.
¡°Umm... no matter how you¡¯ve misunderstood me, can you please help me get a fresh set of clothes so that I don¡¯t have to have this conversation bare naked?¡±

From what she recalled, he would subsequently wrap her up tightly in a bed sheet and directly haul her away to be stuffed into his car.
The entire Yu Ting Vi had watched andughed at her sorry state.
At that time, one of them even leaked the news, causing it to spread through the entire city center. It became a known fact that she had attempted to elope and was hauled away bare naked, and this humiliating scene was seen by the public.
She definitely needed to prevent this from happening!
Bai Qinghao nced at her and immediately spoke in a heavy voice. ¡°Liu Li, bring a set of women¡¯s clothes for Fang Xinxin right now!¡±
¡°Understood,¡± the bodyguard outside the door immediately responded respectfully.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression instantly darkened. ¡°Bai Qinghao, it turns out that you did not only take advantage of me while Bai Chenxi was right behind the curtains. You even had your bodyguard listen right outside!¡±
Previously, she had been too focused on struggling out of Bai Qinghao¡¯s hold and did not notice the man at the entrance.
The bodyguard who had heard them was Liu Li.
He was also the man who despised her thoroughly.
However, to Bai Qinghao, Liu Li was not just a simple bodyguard. He was also somewhat of a friend.
The hospital room was quiet to the point where even their breaths could be heard clearly from outside.
Considering her current weight, her breathing was much noisier than a normal person. It even sounded as though she was constantly panting.
The sound of her own breaths left her wanting to immediately shed all of her fat!
She appeared like a fat buddha seated on the bed with the sheets wrapped around her. She had even upied most of the bed all by herself.
This was really too embarrassing.
It was better to look at the handsome man instead.
She shifted her gaze onto Bai Qinghao, directing a look of deep love towards him.
Unfortunately, her chubby appearance caused her face to appear swollen. Her eyes were also still wet from being moved by their reunion. There was an unclear expression in her gaze.
He naturally assumed that she was angry at the loss of her innocence, and was crying in grievance.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s unbelievably handsome face was tight with tension. The distant gaze he directed at her, grew colder and colder.
The two of them were looking right at each other, yet it waspletely opposite of that in the movies. There were no fireworks or bright red hearts filling the air.
The atmosphere was filled with misgivings and suspicion.
For some reason, she could not sense any of his feelings for her in his gaze.
If in her previous life, he did not sacrifice his life for her despite her half-dead state, she would have never known that the cold and heartless Bai Qinghao actually loved her so much.
Speaking of which, did he actually love her?
He was a man with a great sense of responsibility. Since he acknowledged her as his woman, he never once changed his mind. However, he had never said the word ¡®love¡¯ to her.
Could it be that, what he felt toward her was not love, but a sense of responsibility?
As her mind wandered, her mood gradually turned gloomy.
She sniffled. No matter what, in this life, she wanted to obtain his heart.
At this moment, a rhythmic knock resounded against the door. Li Li carried a luxury branded store¡¯s paper bag in his hands. He came in and gave it to her with an expression of distaste and disgust on his face.
Fang Xinxin held onto the sheets with one hand and extended her other arm, which was as dark as coal, to receive it.
Bai Qinghao immediatelymanded Liu Li in a harsh tone. ¡°Turn around, leave!¡±
Hearing this, Liu Li immediately obeyed by reflex.
Could it be that the CEO was worried that he would see Fang Xinxin¡¯s thick arm?
He really thought too much. This woman was ugly, fat and covered in pimples. She was bad-looking to the point of death. Even if she stripped naked in front of him, he would still be uninterested.
He really did not understand how blind their CEO was. He actually took a liking to this sort of trash!
Was it all just because the two of them had been engaged since a young age?

If the opportunity arose, he would properly advise their CEO to stay away from her. She was not suitable to even help the CEO hold his shoes!
Fang Xinxin was also surprised by this move.
From Bai Qinghao¡¯smand, it was clear that he was stingy to the point where he would not allow Liu Li to even look at her arm.
Since he cared so much about her, why did he still allow Bai Chenxi to listen to the live broadcast through the curtains?
In fact, Bai Qinghao had not wanted to take her innocence in a hospital room. However, he felt that he needed topletely destroy her love for Bai Chenxi, for her to be thoroughly humiliated in front of Bai Chenxi so that she would lose her feelings for the man. He wanted her to throw away all her desire for Bai Chenxi, and only remain as his woman!
What he hadn¡¯t realised all this while was that the more he acted in this manner, the more rebellious she became and the more she loved Bai Chenxi.
After Liu Li left the room, Fang Xinxin held onto the sheets around her and attempted to move off the bed. However, the moment her feet came into contact with the ground, she fell weakly onto the floor.
Given her size, shended on the ground with a loud noise.
In an instant, she was sprawled on the ground, upying a significant portion of the room. The originally spacious room immediately appeared to have much less space.
¡°Ah!¡± She struggled with her thick limbs to stand up but failed despite her repeated attempts.
Bai Qinghao originally wanted to reach out to support her.
However, when he saw the tears in her eyes, he guessed that she was heartbroken over the loss of her innocence and was crying for Bai Chenxi.
The sudden spike of rage caused him to shrink back the arm which he had extended.
Fang Xinxin waspletely unaware that her happy tears of reunion had been misunderstood. She was solely focused on trying to stand up.
Her body waspletely exhausted. There was no way to stand up no matter how she tried.
Bai Qinghao watched her sluggish movements and then at the red stain on the bed.
At the thought that he had stolen her innocence in this manner, a hint of heartache appeared in his gaze.
But she had forced him into it!
Fang Xinxin wanted to look for something to hold onto. She noticed something ahead and immediately held onto it.
It was only after she lifted her head that she noticed...
She was holding onto Bai Qinghao¡¯s thigh!
These thighs were even more expensive than diamonds. She needed to hold onto them for the rest of her life.
His legs were so firm and long that she couldn¡¯t help but pinch them secretly.
His expression instantly stiffened. Normally, didn¡¯t she dislike touching him the most? At times, even when she identally touched his sleeves, she would appear extremely disgusted. Why did she suddenly take the initiative to pinch him?
She must have done so identally.
She stood up, wrapped the sheets tightly around herself and lifted her head up.
He was really very tall, likely to be above 1.8 metres. She was around 1.7 meters in height and was considered rtively tall for a woman. However, she still needed to lift her chin to look at him properly.
He had a God-level existence. Almost everyone in the city looked up to him.
So many of them wished that they could build good rtions with him yet they all failed.
With her current appearance, the fact that she was able to stand by his side... was indeed a miracle.
In her previous life, her brain had really melted into paste. She had not known how to treasure his feelings.
Thankfully, she had been given a second chance...
¡°I¡¯ll go to the restroom to change...¡±
She forced her weak body to move and headed toward the restroom.
As he watched her unstable steps, he wanted to lift her into his arms.
However, even if he wished to, he knew she would refuse him.
At the thought of how both her mind and heart was filled with her love for Bai Chenxi, the rage that he had just suppressed, spiked up immediately.
The moment Fang Xinxin entered the restroom, she locked it from inside.
Hearing the noise, Bai Qinghao¡¯s brows furrowed.

What did she think she could achieve by locking the door from inside?
He could easily kick down that simple door.
If she nned to escape from the restroom window... then she shouldn¡¯t me him for chaining her to her bed for the rest of her life!
Fang Xinxin only locked the door to change her clothes. After receiving a second chance, her number one priority was to properly love him. How could she possibly escape?
She tossed aside the sheets and quickly began to shower.
Her skin was covered in both marks and sweat. She felt extremely ufortable and needed to wash up.
Bai Qinghao heard the sound of water flowing and wondered if she was actually showering, or if she was using the noise to prevent him from hearing her escape.
This was the third floor. It was unlikely that she had the courage to jump down.
Besides, considering her body and the size of the window, even if she tried to jump, she would likely be stuck.
Furthermore... with his influence, before she even escaped the hospital, she would definitely be caught.
Fang Xinxin knew that Bai Qinghao was impatient. She was also worried that he would think she was trying to escape. After all, television dramas frequently featured main characters trying to escape through the windows. Thus, she purposely shouted loudly. ¡°I¡¯ll just take a shower and change my clothes. I¡¯ll be done quickly!¡±
She took the fastest shower she ever had in her lifetime before bringing out the maxi dress, which Liu Li had bought her. Right before putting it on, she thought of something.
She opened the restroom door slightly and poked her chubby face out. ¡°Umm... Bai Qinghao, help me bring my underwear here.¡±
Bai Qinghao had never expected she would make such a request. His cold, handsome face immediately stiffened. Normally, these sort of requests were reserved for intimate lovers.
However, even if the sun rose from the west, she would never view him as her lover.
¡°Help me bring it over,¡± she repeated.
¡°Your bodyguard didn¡¯t help me buy any. I can¡¯t go around without wearing underwear.¡±
¡°He wouldn¡¯t dare buy such things for you.¡± He pursed his lips but still responded to her request.
He approached the corner of the room and bent down to pick up the underwear he had forcefully thrown aside. He then returned to hand them to her. He assumed that she had only asked this of him because she had no other choice.
Fang Xinxin closed the door after receiving it. She then ripped out the price tag from the dress and attempted to squeeze into it.
The dress was really too small. It took a lot of effort before she finally managed to put it on.
Regardless, she now had something to wear.
She stood before the restroom mirror and looked at her fat, dark and pimple-covered self. Even the mirror was almost too small to fully reflect her.
She was a living 108 kilograms!
She reached out and touched the frightening looking e and her eyes immediately narrowed.
She had always thought that her body was the sort that gained weight even from drinking water. As a result, she couldn¡¯t help but be overweight.
In her past life, after she lost everything and could no longer stand up, she finally learned from Fang Xueman¡¯s own mouth that she, her biological sister, had secretly added drugs to her food that would stimte her weight. She had also added a powder into all of her cosmetic products that would cause a bad skin reaction.

As a result, no matter how much she tried, she could never slim down. Her e-ridden face also never recovered despite her fervent efforts.
Damn that Fang Manxue! This debt, she would definitely settle with her properly!
After stepping out of the restroom, she said to Bai Qinghao, ¡°The clothes are a little small.¡±
He looked at the way she fit into the dress. Indeed, the top half appeared a little tight. ¡°We¡¯ll buy a bigger one next time.¡± He would personally buy it for her.
Liu Li heard her from outside the room and immediately responded. ¡°Boss, I visited more than ten shops in the nearby department store before I purchased thergest size avable. This is already an XXXXL size. It¡¯s not that the clothes are small. Miss Fang is just too fat!¡±
Fang Xinxin was truly overweight, and she hated herself for it. But this untactful bodyguard openly stated that her clothes belonged to the size XXXXL. Fuck, he really caused her to lose all her face in front of Bai Qinghao.
¡°You only left for such a short period of time. Could you have visited ten shops? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being punished for lying to your boss?¡±
Hearing this, Liu Li¡¯s temper immediately exploded. ¡°Do you think everyone is like you? You¡¯re fat to the point where it¡¯s probably difficult for you to walk, but I am his personal bodyguard. My efficiency is top rated. No matter how short the time was, it was sufficient for me. Since I said that I visited ten shops, it means I visited ten shops. Boss will not punish me for being honest. Additionally, I need to give Miss Fang some sincere advice.¡±
¡°Speak.¡±
¡°In future, don¡¯t bother shopping at any of the nearby departmental stores. They only sell beautiful clothes meant for thin women. None of the clothes can be worn on your ugly body!¡±
This was clearly an insult! Fang Xinxin¡¯s anger rushed up to her brain. Sooner orter, she would slim down to 54 kilograms and remove the e on her face. At that time, she would definitely blind his eyes with her beauty!
¡°Xiao Liu, you¡¯re truly worrying too much.¡± Fang Xinxin put on an unaffected smile.
¡°Your CEO actually prefers fat, beautiful women just like me.¡±
She then gave Bai Qinghao a loving look. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so, CEO Bai?¡±
Bai Qinghao clearly did not expect her to direct such a look at him. Could it be that she was really trying to lower his defenses?
He did not respond. Instead, he watched her searchingly with his dark eyes.
Liu Li continued mocking and enraging Fang Xinxin. ¡°You really don¡¯t understand him at all. He would never like someone like you!¡±
This fat ass woman was ipatible with his CEO in every way.
¡°Since he didn¡¯t deny it, it means he admits it.¡± Fang Xinxin remained stubborn.
In fact, she understood that Bai Qinghao was someone who valued efficiency. He trained his body regrly and his figure was extremely good. There was barely any unnecessary flesh on him.
Considering the way he was, how could he possibly take a liking to her overweight self?
However, throughout the years, he had never onceined about her weight.
In her previous life, it was only nearing the end that she finally got to know the truth. No matter whether she was thin or fat, he epted and liked her without any reserve.
The cold-looking man really caused her heart to ache.
¡°Haha...¡± Liu Li burst into mockingughter.
¡°Miss Fang, based on your logic, do you think our CEO is also fond of those pockmarks on your face?¡±
Fang Xinxin instantly became enraged. ¡°What pockmarks? I don¡¯t have any pockmarks on my face. These are hormonal e. I¡¯m still in my youth. These are a symbol of my youth. If your CEO doesn¡¯t like the cute e on my face, why did he have sex with me earlier?¡±
¡°You sure have the face to speak!¡± Normally, Liu Li did not dare to speak against Fang Xinxin so brazenly in front of his CEO. However, this trash had run away with Bai Chenxi.
He guessed that his boss would no longer want her. Furthermore, he had always despised her. Thus, he became fully invested in their conversation.
¡°My boss was trying to punish you!¡±

¡°Liu Li, enough!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s face darkened.
Liu Li immediately lowered his head in trepidation.
Fang Xinxin nced at Liu Li¡¯s fearful figure and spokezily. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already lowered your head to me, I won¡¯t hold it against you.¡±
I¡¯m lowering my head toward my boss, all right? You thick spring onion. Liu Li nced at Fang Xinxin unhappily. However, with his boss nearby, he did not dare to speak up.
He would let this damn fat woman get her way for a while.
In any case, she didn¡¯t have much longer to remain happy for!
Looking at his frustrated appearance, Fang Xinxin immediately felt pleased.
She turned toward the curtains in the middle of the room.
From what she remembered, Bai Chenxi was right behind those curtains.
Bai Qinghao followed her line of sight and narrowed his eyes. His body was instantly enveloped by a freezing aura.
If she dared to beg for mercy on Bai Chenxi¡¯s behalf, she shouldn¡¯t me him for being cruel!
Fang Xinxin tugged the curtains aside. As expected, Bai Chenxi waspletely tied up and was lying on the bed.
His figure was slim and lean, and his jawline was well defined. His ck fringesid casually across his forehead and framed his face well. His eyes were bright. He was the sort of man who had a graceful charm.
Despite being tied up like a dumpling with both his hands restrained behind him, he leaned slightly to the side and tried his best to still appear graceful.
Fuck!
Even in this situation, he still needed to act handsome.
Such an outstanding man! It was no wonder she fell head over heels for him in her past life.
But it was too bad that underneath his beautiful appearance was an extremely filthy and despicable heart.
He had only treated her well to make use of her to deal with Bai Qinghao!
Bai Chenxi was Bai Qinghao¡¯s uncle¡¯s adopted son. Although they were all members of the Bai family, ording to the tradition, since Bai Chenxi did not have the family¡¯s bloodline, he had no right to inherit their business.
Bai Chenxi had known this since he was young. The Bai family had offered to give him arge sum of money to lead afortable life. However, he refused to leave.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s adoptive father had passed away some time ago and he now had barely any power in the Bai family.
On the surface, Bai Chenxi always maintained a respectful attitude toward Bai Qinghao. As a result, everyone assumed he had no interest in the Bai family¡¯s wealth and influence.
However, the truth was that he wanted to snatch everything away from Bai Qinghao!
Not only his woman, Bai Chenxi also longed for Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and position!
Since young, Fang Xinxin had been engaged to Bai Qinghao. Bai Qinghao also treated her very well. As a result, she naturally became Bai Chenxi¡¯s target.
Unfortunately... she never understood this in her past life and mistakenly believed that Bai Chenxi¡¯s feelings for her were sincere.
It was only when she became blind and half-paralysed, and was no longer of any value, that she learned of his true intentions.
She turned away from the memories and stared at Bai Chenxi¡¯s handsome face. As she watched his dishevelled figure, her lips curled into a mocking smile.
This man was not even suitable to be the dirt under Bai Qinghao¡¯s feet. She must have gone mad to give up Bai Qinghao for him!
In order to cause her heart to ache for him, Bai Chenxi forced his eyes to turn teary.
He appeared as though he had something to say, yet he could not. The feelings in his eyes were sincere and matched with his pitiful appearance. Those who did not know the truth would assume he was suffering from extreme heartache for what she had to endure earlier.
If this had been the past, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to resist such a pitiful ¡®male god¡¯. Her hatred for Bai Qinghao would have definitely be more intense.
However, right now... she really wished she could give him several tight ps to make his act more real!
She regretted her past life¡¯s actions to the point where her liver was turning green. Her eyes reddened at the thought of her own stupidity.
Bai Qinghao watched the two of them as they stared at each other lovingly. His expression was extremely dark from anger.
Fang Xinxin could almost see the smoke rising from his head.

In order to prevent Bai Qinghao from taking her small life, she needed to make her attitude crystal clear right away.
She stepped forward with determined strides and delivered a couple of tight ps on Bai Chenxi¡¯s handsome face.
Bright red marks instantly appeared on Bai Chenxi¡¯s left and right cheek.
Liu Li peeked in from the entrance, and was stunned.
That fat woman loved Bai Chenxi to death. WHow did she find the guts to beat her idol?
Was he seeing things?
He blinked and saw that Bai Chenxi¡¯s cheeks had turned swollen from the blow. From the sight of it, it seems like she did not restrain her strength at all.
Fuck, she really pped her ¡®male god.¡¯
Was the sky about to copse?
He nced out of the window to see a beautiful skyline. There was no sign that anything was amiss.
In order words, it could only mean that Fattie Fang had been cursed.
He nced secretly at his CEO¡¯s frigid expression. Liu Li started to suspect that she was worried about his CEO sending the two of them straight to hell, and decided to use this strategy to protect her life.
A hint of surprise shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze. He was actually very suspicious of her actions.
Didn¡¯t she usually treat Bai Chenxi to be more important than her own life? How could she have dared tond such a hard blow?
Bai Chenxi was simrly bbergasted. Although he was only an adopted son in the Bai family, given the Bai family¡¯s influence, no one had ever dared to provoke him. To think that this stupid, fat woman actually dared to p him.
He was furious to the point of wanting to kill her!
Anger filled his eyes. However, he immediately restrained himself and said apologetically, ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault. My brother seems to have misunderstood something. It¡¯s all because of me that you were forcefully...¡±
The word ¡®defiled¡¯ did not leave his lips.
Even if he really wanted to use that word, it would be more appropriate to say that she had defiled Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao had mysophobia and was famously known to dislike touching women. God only knew what curse had fallen upon his head which led him to touch Fang Xinxin.
¡°Who is your brother?¡± Bai Qinghao sneered cynically.
His voice was freezing cold. ¡°By iming false rtions, are you trying to be a mute?¡±
Bai Chenxi understood that this was a warning telling him that he would lose his tongue.
Bai Qinghao was a vicious person along with being decisive and ruthless. His words could not be taken as a joke.
He rushed to apologise to Bai Qinghao. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, CEO Bai.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Ahem, Bai Chenxi said you misunderstood something?¡±
Liu Li could not stand watching this farce any longer. ¡°Fang Fa... Miss Fang, do you still have any more face to throw away? You betrayed our CEO and eloped with Bai Chenxi, yet you still dare to ask what the misunderstanding is?¡±
¡°What Fang Fa...¡± Fang Xinxin corrected him.
¡°I haven¡¯t changed my name, I¡¯m still Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°I know...¡± I just wanted to call you Fang Fattie.
Liu Li understood that his CEO¡¯s eyes were blinded and he had taken a liking to this damned fat woman.
He really felt stifled. When will his boss finally regain his sight?
But he did not dare to be unrestrained in front of his boss, and could only cut himself off halfway.
To think that this dumb woman would notice and point it out.
Fang Xinxin naturally understood Liu Li¡¯s intentions.
The atmosphere in the room was too heavy. She did not wish to be hauled out like a piece of luggage and was intentionally making use of the opportunity here.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s face showed a shocked expression. ¡°CEO Bai, this is an enormous misunderstanding. Who told you that I was eloping with Miss Fang? The whole world knows that you¡¯re her fiancee. Even if I had all the courage in the world, I wouldn¡¯t dare to do so.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t dare?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his fierce gaze.
His eyes carried a dangerous glint and caused one to feel pressured.
Bai Chenxi was frightened.
He added on fearfully. ¡°I don¡¯t dare, I don¡¯t dare. I can never do it.¡±
He nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s fat figure and her unevenplexion. His voice held disdain when he said, ¡°Although Miss Fang is indeed your type, she is not my cup of tea.¡±

Chapter 11: One Sided Love

Fang Xinxin sneered mockingly.
Bai Chenxi had clearly told her that he liked her, but was unable to be with her openly due to her identity as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. He had even imed that he was willing to give up the Bai family¡¯s wealth andfort in order to leave this ce with her.
The previous version of her had been moved by those words. As a result, she had packed her things overnight in order to elope with him.
In herst life, she got to know muchter that Bai Qinghao had once suffered a gunshot wound on his chest. The bullet was sessfully removed and he managed to recover. Unfortunately, since then, whenever he became too agitated or angered, his heart would start to ache.
With the increase in incidents provoking his condition, his pain eventually would be permanent.
Bai Chenxi had two goals, one was to provoke Bai Qinghao and worsen his body¡¯s condition. The second was to mislead Fang Xinxin into believing that Bai Qinghao was obstructing their love. He had told her that as long as Bai Qinghao was taken care of, the two of them would be happy together.
However, he was scared that Bai Qinghao would kill him. Thus, in the midst of eloping with her, he deliberately leaked the news so that Bai Qinghao would look for them.
But he never expected to meet with a car crash and be hospitalised.
As a result, Bai Qinghao was able to rush over in time and catch both of them.
In order to escape the me in front of Bai Qinghao, Bai Chenxi dered that she was not his type.
Fang Xinxin took advantage of this opportunity with both hands. ¡°Mr. Bai Chenxi, you told me again and again that you liked me. I thought you had meant it. So it turns out, you don¡¯t actually like me, ah.¡±
Bai Chenxi did not expect her to say this in front of Bai Qinghao. He immediately became frightened and cold sweat covered his forehead.
In front of Bai Qinghao, he had always treated her like his sister-inw. Thus, Bai Qinghao believed that he did not like Fang Xinxin, and that she was nursing a one-sided love for him.
Otherwise, with Bai Qinghao¡¯s ruthless attitude, if he had disyed any intentions toward Fang Xinxin, he would have long been killed.
As expected, Bai Qinghao lifted his dark brows and gritted his teeth. ¡°Oh? You told Fang Xinxin repeatedly that you have feelings for her?¡±
¡°Brother... No, CEO Bai.¡± Bai Chenxi did not dare to say that Fang Xinxin was lying, because he had really told her that he liked her.
He was fearful that she would reveal even more if he used her of lying.
He rushed to exin his side of the story. ¡°Although I said so, I didn¡¯t mean it the way Fang Xinxin assumed. I meant that I liked her as my future sister-inw. She is your fianc¨¦e, your woman. I naturally like and respect her. If your fianc¨¦e would be anyone else, I would respond with the same feelings.¡±
He had never expected that Fang Xinxin would be able to speak soposedly after Bai Qinghao forcefully took her innocence.
Considering her personality, and the deep feelings she had held for him since a young age, he thought that she would struggle to ept this humiliation, and would definitely attempt to kill Bai Qinghao.
There was a fruit tter on the side table next to Fang Xinxin¡¯s bed. He had left the knife there with ¡®good intentions¡¯ for Fang Xinxin to use.
When women went mad, they only knew to use their nails to scratch. How could that possibly cause any harm to Bai Qinghao?
Having a knife around made things much more interesting.
Why wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin using the knife? And the words she spoke earlier... seemed to be aimed at worsening his rtionship with Bai Qinghao?
Bai Chenxi felt that Fang Xinxin had changed.
In their previous life, Fang Xinxin indeed followed the ¡®path¡¯ Bai Chenxi had carefully nned out for her.
However, right now, her actions were leaning towards Bai Qinghao.
Wasn¡¯t it just having her innocence stolen by Bai Qinghao? What was the big deal about it?

She had frequently embarrassed Bai Qinghao in the past and did not bother to conceal her love for Bai Chenxi.
Bai Qinghao was such a powerful existence. A simple shift of his feet would cause the entire city to tremble. Despite that, he had already disyed a lot of tolerance towards her.
Yet, she actually dared to elope. The one thing that Bai Qinghao could not ept was anyone coveting the things and the woman whom he owned!
She had asked for the consequences and she would have to bear them.
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qinghao grunted coldly but clearly did not believe Bai Chenxi¡¯s exnation.
Although Fang Xinxin did not wish to team up with Bai Chenxi, she had no choice but to do so in order to clear up the matter of their elopement.
¡°Bai Chenxi is speaking the truth. He has always treated me like his future sister-inw. He doesn¡¯t have any thoughts for me that are out of line.¡±
¡°And what about your thoughts?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and indifferent.
He spoke as though her answer would not affect him.
Only God knew how fearful he was of hearing her say that she liked Bai Chenxi.
Even though... throughout the years, it had already be an undeniable fact.
Just the thought of her feelings for Bai Chenxi caused his chest to immediately start throbbing painfully.
Everytime this issue came to mind, his heart would ache.
He tightened his fists at the sudden, sharp pain. However, on the surface, he appeared to bepletely unaffected.
She spoke unhurriedly and made use of Bai Chenxi¡¯s words to assert her stance. ¡°I, naturally... am the same as Bai Chenxi. To me, he is just your cheap cousin.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Chenxi was immediately angered.
What did she mean by ¡®cheap cousin¡¯?
It sounded almost as though she was looking down on him.
But the dumb woman loved him so much, it was unlikely for her to do so.
Bai Qinghao had prepared himself for the blow when he heard her first few words. However, when he received her full answer, his nervous heart eased slightly. ¡°Really?¡±
She could not me him for being suspicious of her. Fang Xinxin recalled the way she used to dere her feelings for Bai Chenxi in front of Bai Qinghao. She really wished she could swallow back all of those words now.
She promised him with a look of certainty. ¡°No matter who I may lie to, I won¡¯t lie to you.¡±
For some strange reason, Bai Qinghao felt his entire heart warming up because of her words. Instead of the sharp pain from earlier, he now feltforted.
Bai Chenxi did not believe her. This was because he had always assumed that he was fatally attractive. Moreover, he was convinced that Fang Xinxin, the dumb trash, would be head over heels in love with him for the rest of her life.
He guessed that she had said so because she was fearful of the dire consequences at this moment.
Fang Xinxin saw that Bai Qinghao was silent and pointed at the red stain on the bed. She said, ¡°Look. There¡¯s the evidence that there¡¯s absolutely nothing between Bai Chenxi and I.¡±
How could Bai Qinghao not know how pure she was...
She wouldn¡¯t have been able to fabricate this even if she tried.
Indeed, it rified her rtionship with Bai Chenxi and eased his anger.
Otherwise, he would already have killed someone by now.
Did herposed attitude suggest that she was no longer as resistant to him?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s mood strangely became better.
Bai Chenxi rushed to speak up as well. ¡°Miss Fang is right. CEO Bai, you have to believe us. The two of us are really innocent.¡±
In order to express his sincerity, he added the next set of words in a mellow voice. ¡°You like Miss Fang because you have ¡®special tastes¡¯. Not everyone¡¯s tastes are as good as yours.¡±

Bai Qinghao was still angry. He needed to be calmed down otherwise no one would survive in this room.
Liu Li stood outside the door. When he heard Bai Chenxi¡¯s words, he immediately wanted to express his heartfelt agreement with Bai Chenxi¡¯s words.
He really did not understand what his boss liked about Fang Xinxin, the ugly fattie.
Fang Xinxin naturally noticed that Bai Chenxi was looking down on her.
This was the man whom she had been head over heels in love with in her past life? She had truly been blind!
Bai Qinghao responded immediately without hesitating. ¡°My tastes are indeed excellent. In this world, no woman canpete with Fang Xinxin!¡±
His firm tone clearly revealed how dearly he cherished her.
While Bai Chenxi had spoken with disdain, Bai Qinghao waspletely sincere.
Furthermore, she knew that Bai Qinghao was not good at lying.
Liu Li¡¯splexion turned ashen.
What had this Fattie Fang fed his boss? One of these days, she would surely send him to his early grave.
As his subordinate, Liu Li truly felt troubled.
Fang Xinxin was moved by Bai Qinghao¡¯s words. She immediately responded with heartfelt words. ¡°In this world, no one canpare to you either, Bai Qinghao!¡±
Bai Qinghao was startled. His sharp eyes were suspicious as he stared at her. Was she being sincere, or was she ttering him due to the fear that he would settle the bill with Bai Chenxi?
Bai Chenxi had never expected Fang Xinxin to be this good at coaxing men. Moreover, Bai Qinghao, who was usuallyposed and difficult to approach, seemed to be enjoying her ttery very much!!
He could not help but give her an encouraging look.
Bai Qinghao noticed his movement and his expression immediately turned cold.
Could it be that Fang Xinxin had promised Bai Chenxi to tackle him on his behalf?
If she nned to resolve things this way, she was seeking her own death.
Fang Xinxin understood that Bai Chenxi had assumed that her words were only to fool and coax Bai Qinghao. But she did not bother to give any exnations.
Considering her past actions, even if she used up her voice, no one would believe that she had genuinely fallen for Bai Qinghao.
She believed that, with time, Bai Qinghao would grow to understand her feelings.
She couldn¡¯t care less about what the others thought.
Bai Qinghao felt that he was extremely pitiful. Even though he knew that Fang Xinxin was lying to him, he still felt happy.
¡°I¡¯ll go get my bag...¡± Fang Xinxin approached the bed and tugged open the bedside table¡¯s drawer to search through it.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s eyes lit up. As expected, Fang Xinxin had been lying to Bai Qinghao. She still loved him deeply.
From his point of view, Fang Xinxin was not searching through the drawer. Instead, her gaze hadnded on the fruit knife.
It would be best if she ended Bai Qinghao¡¯s life with one blow!
Bai Qinghao naturally had the same thoughts as Bai Chenxi. It was difficult for him to trust that Fang Xinxin had truly be a different person.
He watched as Fang Xinxin quietly picked up the knife. He could not see where she ced it from where he stood, but he guessed that she had kept it away in her bag.
She nned to kill him secretly!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned cold. The hospital room¡¯s temperature fell abruptly.
Liu Li shivered. As his boss¡¯s personal bodyguard, he had noticed Fang Xinxin¡¯s movements.
This was not the time to be frightened of his CEO¡¯s aura. He needed to protect him well.
That Fang Fattie actually wanted to kill his boss? He really wished he could shoot her to death right now.
As she was yet to make any moves, he did not dare abruptly fire his gun. He ced his hand against his waist carefully and remained alert.
The atmosphere in the room became strange. It seemed that only Fang Xinxin was rxed and unaware.
She said in an ¡®innocent¡¯ voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t receive much injuries from the ident. There¡¯s only a small wound on my arm. The doctor has already dressed it. There¡¯s no need for me to remain in the hospital.¡±

¡°Drag her back to Yu Ting Vi!¡± Bai Qinghaomanded with a stern expression.
¡°Understood.¡± Liu Li came forward to grab Fang Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. He was unable to tolerate another man touching Fang Xinxin, even if it was only her arms. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to touch her!¡±
Liu Li was stumped. ¡°Boss, if I don¡¯t touch her, how am I supposed to drag her?¡±
¡°Tie her up with a rope!¡±
¡°That¡¯s a good idea.¡± Liu Li¡¯s face immediately brightened with a smile. If they tied up this unfaithful woman, she would be a matching couple with that male adulterer.
Even if Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship with Bai Chenxi was clean, an emotional betrayal was still a betrayal!
Fang Xinxin protested. ¡°No. It¡¯s too ufortable to be tied up. I won¡¯t run away. I¡¯ll follow you obediently!¡±
¡°Boss has never taken back his orders...¡± A rope suddenly appeared in Liu Li¡¯s hands.
He had likely brought it out from his jacket.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned dark. This bodyguard had apanied his boss here to catch them in the act, and it seemed that he even prepared the rope beforehand.
She made baby eyes at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Handsome, you really cannot tie me up.¡±
She pointed at herself. ¡°Look. I¡¯m already so fat. If you tie me up, wouldn¡¯t my body be seen by others in the real form? Those who don¡¯t know may think that Bai Qinghao enjoys ying perverted games!¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re too shameless! How dare you say such things!¡± Liu Li immediately snapped at her.
¡°Our CEO is an upright man. He would never y such games.¡±
Bai Qinghao was nearly choked by her words but his expression remained tight and stern. ¡°Forget about tying her up.¡±
His boss had changed his mind so easily? Where was the king who never regretted his words? When it came to this fattie, he always acted out of character.
Liu Li spoke up unhappily. ¡°CEO, this woman doesn¡¯t have good intentions...¡±
Liu Li wanted to add that it was dangerous to leave her be. However, upon receiving Bai Qinghao¡¯s warning gaze, he immediately stopped.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gazended on Bai Chenxi. ¡°What are yourst words?¡±
Last words? Was he nning to take his life? Bai Chenxi trembled in fear. ¡°Bai... CEO Bai... I really didn¡¯t elope with Fang Xinxin. You can¡¯t kill me...¡±
¡°Oh? I can¡¯t?¡± He lifted his brows.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s voice cracked. ¡°You can, you can... no, no, no, please don¡¯t kill me. Please consider that I¡¯m your cousin and allow me to keep my life.¡±
¡°Do you think that I will bother to give you face?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t dare, I don¡¯t dare.¡± Bai Chenxi kept giving Fang Xinxin looks. He had winked so many times at her that his face was about to cramp up. However, the fat woman actually did not respond.
Fang Xinxin naturally pretended she did not see anything.
He was asking her for help. Bai Qinghao noticed his actions and immediately became angry. ¡°Toss him out of the window!¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± Liu Li lifted Bai Chenxi onto his shoulder without any hesitation.
¡°Fang Xinxin, save me!¡± Bai Chenxi no longer cared about appearances and raised his voice.
He never thought that he would have to beg that fat, ugly woman one day!
Fang Xinxin pretended not to have heard anything.
Bai Qinghao suddenly spoke up. ¡°Wait.¡±
Liu Li had already hauled Bai Chenxi to the window. With a simple shift of his arms, he could toss him out. ¡°I¡¯ve already brought him here, boss. You¡¯ve always prioritised efficiency. You can¡¯t let your subordinate waste his energy.¡±
He had long found Bai Chenxi unpleasant to the eyes!
¡°CEO Bai, listen to me...¡± Bai Chenxi was hanging off of Liu Li¡¯s shoulders.
He struggled to lift his head. ¡°To me, Fang Xinxin is really just my future sister-inw...¡±

Bai Qinghao did not pay him any heed. He turned to look at Fang Xinxin. ¡°What are your thoughts?¡±
Immediately, she understood that he was waiting for her to beg for mercy on Bai Chenxi¡¯s behalf.
¡°Fang Xinxin... you have to save me!¡± Bai Chenxi abruptly raised his voice.
¡°If you save me, I¡¯ll satisfy all of your desires, no matter what they are!¡± Even if she wanted to sleep with him, he would endure the disgust to do it!
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned poor.
In their previous life, Bai Chenxi did not need to beg her. Instead, she had taken the initiative to shield him with all her might to secure his life.
She had mmed her head against the wall and threatened tomit suicide before Bai Qinghao finally gave up on punishing Bai Chenxi.
Afterward, Bai Chenxi escaped unscathed while Bai Qinghao had lost control of his emotions. His old injuries were aggravated and he became severely ill.
Moreover, she was locked up in the Yu Ting Vi for a long time.
The only person who benefited from it was Bai Chenxi.
She gathered her thoughts and looked at Bai Qinghao.
This man, even though he did not wish to hear her beg for Bai Chenxi¡¯s life, still wanted to see how far she would go for him.
But she refused to repeat her mistakes. ¡°My own life is at stake, I¡¯m not begging for him!¡±
Bai Chenxi did not expect her to refuse him. He had already hinted at his willingness to repay her with his body. Could it be that she did not understand?
¡°Fang Xinxin, as long as you protect me, I promise, I¡¯ll fulfill ¡®any¡¯ request as long as it¡¯s within my ability. Including the thing you¡¯ve always wanted to do!¡±
She had always wanted to marry him. For the sake of protecting his own life, he did not mind pretending to agree. At most, he would drag the promise on without fulfilling it. It wasn¡¯t as though he was giving her a proper timeline to abide by.
¡°The thing I¡¯ve always wanted to do?¡± She furrowed her brows in thought.
Everyone who knew Fang Xinxin knew that she had always dreamed of marrying Bai Chenxi.
Bai Qinghao frowned as well. His expression became frighteningly cold. He felt as though his heart was about to shatter from pain.
¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t speak any nonsense. My boss doesn¡¯t want to listen to this crap...¡±
Liu Li understood his CEO¡¯s health condition well enough. Although he was mostly healthy, the moment he suffered any agitation, his heart would ache.
In this world, the only person with the power to agitate his CEO was Fang Xinxin.
This was truly a cursed fate.
God only knew what his CEO had owed this Fattie Fang in their previous life.
Fang Xinxin waved her hand carelessly. ¡°Then go ahead and toss Bai Chenxi down.¡±
¡°...¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao stared at her in confusion.
¡°Fattie Fa... Miss Fang, did you speak wrongly?¡± Liu Li suspected that his ears were not clean.
Otherwise, how could he have heard Fang Xinxin say such a thing?
Didn¡¯t she value Bai Chenxi¡¯s life even more than her own?
Bai Chenxi shouted in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, have you gone mad?¡±
Seeing that Xinxin did not beg for his life, Bai Qinghao was satisfied. He did not have any spare energy to waste time. He waved his hand casually. ¡°Carry out the order.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± Liu Li shifted his arms.
¡°I have a few final words to say!¡± Bai Chenxi immediately shouted from Liu Li¡¯s shoulder.
¡°CEO Bai, you had asked if I had something to say. I do!¡±
¡°Speak.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t elope with Miss Fang. She said she was in a bad mood and wanted to travel. I only drove her to the airport. Why do I have to die for this?¡±
Bai Qinghao grunted coldly. He sneered with contempt. ¡°You repeated time and again that you like Fang Xinxin. Isn¡¯t that sufficient to warrant your death?¡±
¡°Cousin...¡± Bai Chenxi almost cried from fear. He red harshly at Fang Xinxin.
The reason Bai Qinghao wanted his life was because Fang Xinxin imed that he had confessed to her multiple times. She had incited the wrath of this King of Hell!

This was all caused by Fang Xinxin. One day, he would make her pay for it!
He cried in anguish. ¡°CEO Bai, please let me off. I won¡¯t do it again! Even if you won¡¯t give me face, please consider my deceased father. He was your father¡¯s brother! Please let me off just this once!¡±
¡°You make sense. Even if I won¡¯t give you face. I should give him face.¡± Bai Qinghao waved his hand sternly. ¡°Toss him down! I¡¯ll spare your life if you don¡¯t die!¡±
Liu Li did not give Bai Chenxi the chance to speak again. With a quick shift of his arms, the tied-up man was thrown out from the third floor window.
¡°Ah!¡± The fall was apanied by his anguish cry.
The human shaped dumpling fell onto the ground.
Fang Xinxin watched with pleasure as Bai Chenxi fell onto the ground. It would be best if he died from the impact.
Liu Li quickly spoke to Bai Qinghao out of loyalty. ¡°Boss, you can¡¯t trust Bai Chenxi¡¯s nonsense. How were they not eloping? If Miss Fang really wanted to travel, why wouldn¡¯t she call for a car? And why would she choose to leave in the middle of the night?¡±
Fang Xinxin rushed to exin herself. ¡°Who says that I can¡¯t leave for a flight in the middle of the night? Plenty of people choose to purchase tickets for midnight flights. You asked me to call for a car? I¡¯m a world-ss beauty. What if I were taken advantage of? It¡¯s too dangerous.¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Liu Li could not restrain hisughter.
He shifted his disdaining gaze up and down her body. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a closer look in the mirror. If you were a truly world-ss beauty, even pigs would be able to fly! I should be thankful if you don¡¯t take advantage of anyone. Who would have such poor tastes to take advantage of you?¡±
Fang Xinxin immediately pointed her thick index finger at Bai Qinghao. ¡°This beauty was just taken advantage of by him. You see, this world-ss beauty should have stayed in the heavens. The moment I entered the mortal world, I was cleanly eaten up!¡±
Liu Li¡¯s mouth was starting to cramp. ¡°Fattie Fang, you¡¯re too shameless. What world-ss beauty... you¡¯re more like a world-ss ugly woman!¡±
However, he could not deny that his boss had really ¡®eaten¡¯ Fattie Fang earlier. He had stood outside the door and heard their movements loud and clear.
What on earth happened to his brilliant and wise boss? He actually ate up a pig.
¡°You called me a world-ss ugly woman?¡± Fang Xinxin understood it was currently impossible for her to deal with Liu Li.
She immediately tossed him to Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, he thinks that you have poor tastes.¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at Liu Li. His sharp eyes were frigid. ¡°I have poor tastes?¡±
It was only a single nce, but the heavy pressure left Liu Li unable to breath. He immediately shook his head. ¡°No, no, no... your tastes are amazing. Absolutely unique.¡±
His tone was 120 percent insincere.
He never thought that he would one day echo the words of Bai Chenxi, that white lotus boy.
¡°CEO Bai, he is mocking you,¡± Fang Xinxin added helpfully.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes narrowed, and Liu Li was almost frightened into kneeling down. ¡°Even if you gave this subordinate all the courage in the world, I would never dare to do so. I have followed you for so many years. My loyalty is unquestionable...¡±
¡°Enough,¡± Bai Qinghao spat out the word coldly. It seemed like he would not pursue this any further.
Fang Xinxin also did not continue making life difficult for Liu Li.
Since she had gained a second chance, she swore she would make everyone, who owed her, pay!
She would no longer be blind and helpless like she had been in her past life.
Although Liu Li had always picked on her, it was because her heart had always been set on Bai Chenxi.
And despite his hatred for her, he had indeed been extremely loyal to Bai Qinghao.

Despite his hatred for her, he was a loyal subordinate of Bai Qinghao. She wouldn¡¯t actually do anything to him.
Perhaps, her rtionship with Liu Li could be improved.
At this moment, another bodyguard dressed in a ck suit rushed in. He reported to Bai Qinghao politely. ¡°Boss, Bai Chenxi did not die from the fall. A few ¡®good samaritans¡¯ were coincidentally standing downstairs and they caught hold of him. However, those ¡®passer-bys¡¯ suffered from serious fractures after catching him and are now being sent for surgery. Bai Chenxi is currently crying tears of gratitude.¡±
¡°Good ¡®samaritans¡¯ passing by?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted one corner of his lip in amusement.
¡°ording to this subordinate¡¯s investigation, there were eight, unidentified men on the ground floor. They must have all been prepared to catch Bai Chenxi.¡±
Liu Li immediately understood. ¡°So this is Bai Chenxi and Fang Xinxin¡¯s trick! No wonder Fang Xinxin was fearless about throwing him down. It turns out, she had already arranged for someone to catch him!¡±
Fang Xinxin genuinely did not know that Bai Chenxi had arranged for such a thing.
It truly revealed how much the white lotus had been manipting her.
¡°I didn¡¯t know that Bai Chenxi arranged for his people to be here,¡± Fang Xinxin could only exin in this manner.
¡°CEO, you can¡¯t trust her!¡± Liu Li immediately felt that Fang Xinxin was not trustworthy.
¡°Since she said she wasn¡¯t aware, then she wasn¡¯t aware.¡± Bai Qinghao raised his hand to cut off Liu Li¡¯s words. He ordered sternly. ¡°Make sure that you ¡®settle¡¯ the eight people arranged by Bai Chenxi. Give him a good warning.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The bodyguard who had just entered immediately turned to leave.
Considering he had been capable enough to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguard, it was more than enough for him to deal with the eight men alone.
Liu Li did not continue bringing up Bai Chenxi¡¯s matters. After all, his boss had promised to let Bai Chenxi off if he survived this fall. He would never go back on his words.
Besides, what did Bai Chenxi count for? As if he could be his CEO¡¯s opponent.
¡°We¡¯re returning to Yu Ting Vi.¡± Bai Qinghao gave Fang Xinxin a look and turned to head out.
Fang Xinxin stared at his imposing backview and his upright posture. He was really unbelievably handsome!
She immediately moved to follow behind.
To her surprise, her legs suddenly weakened and after two steps, she nearly fell onto the ground.
Bai Qinghao seemed to have grown eyes on the back of his head. He turned around and caught her, preventing her from sprawling all over the ground.
¡°Soft-legged shrimp!¡± Liu Li muttered behind her.
He was fearful of his boss¡¯s imposing aura and could only mouth the words. He did not dare to actually say them.
Fang Xinxin raised her head and pouted at Bai Qinghao. ¡°I can¡¯t walk... it¡¯s all your fault for using too much strength earlier!¡±
If Bai Qinghao hadn¡¯t been that forceful, her legs wouldn¡¯t be weak to the point where she could barely walk.
Liu Li noticed the flirtatious look Fang Xinxin was sending towards his boss and immediately felt his goosebumps rising from disgust.
If she had been a fair, slenderdy, any man would enjoy the attention.
However, Fang Xinxin¡¯s body was frighteningly big, her face was covered in e, and her skin was dark...
My god!
The sight of such an ugly woman flirting nearly caused him to puke.
Boss, what on earth is this woman you like? She¡¯s even more frightening than a ghost!
However, Bai Qinghao seemed pleased as he recalled the way he took her earlier.
A hint of heartache appeared in his cold eyes. ¡°How about...¡±
...I carry you in my arms?
At the end of the day, he could not bring himself to say those words.
She had always been resistant towards him.
She wouldn¡¯t even let him touch the sleeves of her clothes.
¡°You demon, you devil! Don¡¯t touch me, your touch is absolutely repulsive... I¡¯m going to kill you, I¡¯m going to kill you...¡±
Earlier, when he pressed her down, these words she had cried out in rage were still echoing in his mind.

He was unaware of his own strength as he held her hand but she felt that her wrist was going to snap any time.
¡°Let go!¡± she cried softly as she furrowed her brows.
He assumed she still disliked his touch and his expression instantly darkened. ¡°Did you think I enjoy touching you? Your legs are unstable. I¡¯m holding you out of good intentions.¡±
He couldn¡¯t bear to let go of her hands, but his lips remained stubborn.
¡°Then I really have to thank CEO Bai for his good intentions.¡± She took in a deep breath and stood up straight before forcing her aching body to follow after him.
Even Bai Qinghao¡¯s back was emitting a frigid aura. The frost left her covered in goosebumps.
He was clearly angry!
And he still said he didn¡¯t want to touch her? His lips really did not match his heart.
This handsome and cool CEO was truly amusing.
She figured that he had misunderstood something. Thus, she spoke up in a clear voice. ¡°Earlier, you used too much force and hurt me. I didn¡¯t want my hand to be crippled so I asked you to let go.¡±
His footsteps stiffened slightly and the frigid aura gradually softened. It was all right as long as she was not resistant to his touch.
Liu Li¡¯s heart felt stifled.
His boss was openly revealing his back to Fang Xinxin and she was still hiding a fruit knife. Wasn¡¯t he afraid of being stabbed?
He fully understood that his CEO was intentionally giving her an opportunity to strike.
He swore in his mind that he would not let her have her way.
He would definitely shoot her down before she could do anything!
His body tensed up and hisser eyes were focussed only on her movements.
Fang Xinxin could see that Liu Li was wary that she would stab Bai Qinghao.
But she was enjoying this. It was good to train this bodyguard to be more vignt.
Twenty expressionless men dressed in suits lined up both sides of the hospital entrance. They made for an imposing and intimidating sight.
Several SUVs were also parked by the road. The ck, alligator SUV in the front was the most eye-catching of all.
With one nce, it was clear that the main character had yet to show up.
Fang Xinxin followed behind Bai Qinghao as they walked past the two rows of bodyguards. She instantly felt a heavy aura around them.
At the same time, she was filled with pride.
Being Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman was actually quite impressive.
Like a dog following behind its master, she could share a bit of his imposing aura. Spit, spit, spit, she was not a dog... just a temporarily obese person.
Arge crowd had formed several meters away. Amongst the crowd, a beautiful woman dressed in white pointed at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Look, it¡¯s Bai Qinghao. He is so imposing, so handsome!¡±
¡°He isn¡¯t just handsome, he is unbelievably cool!¡± The woman in a blue dress next to her was equally agitated.
An old man around the age of ny asked in confusion. ¡°Look at his aura. This isn¡¯t a simple man. Who is he?¡±
¡°You actually don¡¯t know him? He is the leader of the best finance group in the world. His background isn¡¯t simple at all. He is our country¡¯s youngest hero, the country¡¯s idol who has charmed all the men and women, no matter young or old!¡±
Someone noticed Fang Xinxin and asked. ¡°Is that fat and ugly woman covered in e, his maid?¡±
¡°Why would the idol have such an ugly maid...¡±
Fang Xinxin nearly stumbled. Her expression copsed in embarrassment and bitterness.
Why didn¡¯t anyone think that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman? This was really too much.
One of these days, she would make them acknowledge that she was a good match for Bai Qinghao, both in terms of beauty and talent, a pair arranged by the heavens.
Bai Qinghao had already entered the first SUV. Through the custom-made, bullet proof windows, he naturally could not hear the noise outside. If he had heard them, based on his personality, he would have long dered that she was his woman.
But Fang Xinxin had yet to climb on. Her ears were sharp and she heard the whispers loud and clear.

¡°Fattie Fang, you¡¯ve heard everyone¡¯s thoughts, haven¡¯t you? The public¡¯s opinion reflects the truth. You¡¯re not even suited to be my boss¡¯s maid.¡±
Liu Li took advantage of the opportunity to attack her.
His boss currently could not hear anything. He could nder Fattie Fang as much as he liked without experiencing any pressure.
It would be best if she epted this blow and attempted to take her own life.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression wasplicated for a few seconds, but she quickly regained herposure. ¡°The truth is always painful, but I enjoy hearing it!¡±
Indeed, with her current figure, her darkenedplexion and her e covered skin, even the maids at the Yu Ting Vi were more attractive than her.
But after treating her e and losing some weight, she would be a world-ss beauty. Then, she would definitely blind all their eyes!
Liu Li stared at her in disbelief. ¡°They¡¯re saying that you don¡¯t even have the rights to be his maid. And you¡¯re enjoying this? Did water enter your brain?¡±
¡°The painful truth given by passer-bys will only strengthen my determination to lose weight and recover my beauty.¡±
¡°Recover your beauty? I think you have gone mad!¡± Liu Li looked at her as though she was a nutcase.
¡°What do you know? How can having beauty alone be sufficient to match up to your CEO?¡± Fang Xinxin felt a slight urge to cry.
In the eyes of most people she knew, she was the Fang Group¡¯s Third Young Lady. She was spoilt, extravagant and cowardly by nature.
In fact, the Fang Group was indeed wealthy... however, she was extremely poor. At this moment, she only had around 9 US dor.
And this was the remaining bnce from her previous multiple jobs.
It had been years since she received even a single cent from the Fang Group. Yet, the Second Young Lady Fang Manxue went around iming that she had squandered a lot of their money.
She really felt frustrated at herself for being a good-for-nothing in her past life.
Fang Manxue, you better wait for this old woman to deal with you!
Bai Qinghao was an outstanding, aplished man. Would having looks alone be sufficient to make onepatible with him?
She, Fang Xinxin, needed to work hard and umte wealth. She needed to constantly improve herself, so that she could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bai Qinghao!
Liu Li found her response slightly strange. ¡°Fattie Fang, do you mean to say that, even if someone had the looks, they wouldn¡¯t be a good match for my CEO? They would also need intelligence?¡±
¡°Obviously!¡±
¡°Your reasoning is normal. But from my point of view, there are very few women in this world who arepatible with my boss. You are definitely not one of them!¡± Liu Li stared at her as though she was a strange creature.
¡°Quit your wishful thinking. Forget intelligence, you don¡¯t even have beauty.¡±
¡°If you have the guts, go repeat these words to Bai Qinghao.¡±
Wouldn¡¯t that be looking for death? The instant his boss made up his mind, he would stick to that decision for the rest of his life. Liu Li harrumphed. ¡°I¡¯m not falling for your trick.¡±
¡°So you don¡¯t have the guts? Then you¡¯re just a nobody who only knows how to spout nonsense behind his boss¡¯s back.¡±
¡°You...¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression was fierce.
¡°I won¡¯t argue with a fat woman like you!¡±
Fang Xinxin approached the door of Bai Qinghao¡¯s SUV and spoke without a smile. ¡°Little Liu, one day, this queen will make you swallow your words back down!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s chauffeur opened the SUV¡¯s backseat and stretched his arm out politely. ¡°Miss Fang, please go in.¡±
He was clearly pointing towards the back seat, gesturing to her to sit next to Bai Qinghao.
She followed his words and sat down.
The chauffeur closed the door and went around the car to sit on the driver¡¯s seat.
¡°Huh! ¡®Queen¡¯ my ass. You ugly woman, just because my CEO spoils you, do you really think you¡¯re the queen of a castle?¡± Liu Li only dared to say this after the car door was properly shut. Otherwise, considering his CEO¡¯s temper, he would definitely face severe consequences.

Bai Qinghao¡¯s ck alligator SUV began to move.
Liu Li frowned in concern. Without permission, he could not board the same car as his boss.
However, Fang Xinxin was currently hiding a knife in her bag...
He was overwhelmed with anxiety. Would Fang Xinxin stab his boss in the car?
That chauffeur, Li Bingpan, had better be extra vignt and guard against Fang Xinxin properly.
He rushed to board the second SUV to follow them.
Several SUVs trailed in an orderly manner behind Bai Qinghao¡¯s SUV. They maintained a distance of around ten meters from each other and made for an impressive sight.
Inside the ck alligator SUV, the seats were lined with ck leather that had been specially imported. The red designs on the ck leather caused the interior to appear luxurious. The center console was simrly designed, appearing both exquisite and extravagant.
Fang Xinxin sat in the backseat and found the interior spacious andfortable. Even Bai Qinghao¡¯s car exuded his cold and grim style, perfectly.
She had never sat in such a good car in her entire lifetime.
It sure was good to be wealthy.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao, who sat next to her was not just wealthy. He was almost a god in mortal skin with the most outstanding looks!
Bai Qinghao was slightly surprised that Fang Xinxin had sat down obediently next to him. On previous asions, she would rather be beaten up than share the same car with him.
His sharp gazended on the bag that she held on herp. She was gripping it tightly. Her head was lowered, probably to conceal the fact that she had secretly snuck the fruit knife inside.
Was she intentionally putting on an act to carry out her revenge?
After all, he had stolen her innocence. Considering her feelings for Bai Chenxi, there was no way she could bear losing her chastity to him.
Fang Xinxin waspletely unaware of his thoughts. She followed his line of sight and saw that he was staring at her thigh. Herplexion instantly turned red. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you pervert!¡±
The heavy atmosphere in the car was suddenly sliced open by her words. The chauffeur, Li Bingpan, jerked in surprise and identally moved the steering wheel. The car nearly mmed into the railings by the side of the road.
Thankfully, his driving skills were superb and his reaction time was fast. He quickly spun the steering wheel in the other direction and readjusted the car back to it¡¯s supposed path.
The inte installed in the car immediately rang. ¡°Li Bingpan, what happened!¡± Liu Li, who had seen the car jerking from behind, demanded.
¡°Nothing. My hands slipped.¡±
¡°Your responsibility as boss¡¯s private chauffeur isn¡¯t light! How could you make such a mistake?¡± Liu Li¡¯s voice could be heard through the inte once more.
¡°Please be more alert!¡± What he meant was for him to be on guard against Fang Xinxin, who had the intention to murder their boss.
After all, in this city, his boss¡¯s presence was akin to that of an emperor.
Li Bingpan did not understand his words and responded seriously. ¡°Yes, I will focus on driving.¡±
¡°...¡± Liu Li, who was in the other car, immediately fell silent. The two of them were clearly operating on separate wavelengths.
As his CEO was also in the car, he did not dare tell Li Bingpan to be wary of Fang Xinxin openly. He was genuinely stumped by this problem.
Although Li Bingpan said he would focus on driving, he could not help but nce at Fang Xinxin secretly through the rearview mirror.
Their boss was notorious for disliking women¡¯s touch. He had been a proud bachelor for many years. The beautiful women who threw themselves at him, even if they stripped themselves naked, their boss remained unmoved.
Against such a woman...
He had been newly transferred over to drive for the Bai Qinghao and was unaware of Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship with Bai Qinghao.
He simply felt that the fatdy sitting by his CEO¡¯s side was really ugly. Her face was covered in e. Moreover, from head to toe, she didn¡¯t seem to have any redeeming factor.
Even as a chauffeur himself, he wouldn¡¯t take a liking to her.
Had his boss gone blind?
Li Bingpan did not disy any of his internal thoughts but he expected his boss to kick this woman out of the car with his foot.
Tomorrow¡¯s headlines would surely be, ¡®Fat and Ugly Woman Jumped out of a Moving Car and Lost Her Life.¡¯
Chapter 21: Bai Qinghao is Really a Pervert (2)

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
His boss was a god positioned high up in the skies! How could he possibly allow a fat, ugly woman to use him of being a pervert?
A hint of awkwardness shed on Bai Qinghao¡¯s handsome face. He narrowed his eyes and leaned his body toward her. He lowered his voice to ask her. ¡°Could it be that earlier on that hospital bed, your sexual desires were insufficiently satisfied?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one that¡¯s dissatisfied! Your entire family is sexually dissatisfied!¡± She lowered her voice to snap back.
¡°Then, why did you suddenly call me a pervert?¡±
¡°Where were you looking at earlier?¡± She was fuming. ¡°You were actually looking at this beautiful woman¡¯s thigh, the golden triangle region...¡±
¡°I was looking at your handbag.¡± He was afraid that she would use even more frightening words and decisively cut her off.
¡°Cough...¡± Her expression was suddenly awkward. He hadn¡¯t been staring at where she thought he had been?
She was really embarrassed to death now.
Despite the two of them lowering their voices to the best of their ability, Li Bingpan strained his ears to hear them and naturally caught their words.
He knew it! His CEO would never desire this type of a woman. It wouldn¡¯t happen even if the sun rose from the west.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy.
The ck alligator SUV drove smoothly on the road for several minutes.
Li Bingpan secretly wondered as to why hadn¡¯t his boss kicked this woman off the car yet?
He really felt wronged on behalf of his Boss. ¡°Boss, Miss Fang misunderstood you earlier, assuming you to be a pervert. How can you ept this kind of nder...¡±
¡°Who says I ndered him?¡± Fang Xinxin nced at the chauffeur unhappily. ¡°Your CEO has always been a wolf. If you don¡¯t believe me...¡± She tugged up her sleeves to reveal the marks on her skin. ¡°These were all left by him.¡±
The car swerved once again as though it had been struck by a tornado.
¡°Li Bingpan, did Fang Xinxin attempt to stab the boss?¡± Liu Li¡¯s anxious voice rang through the inte immediately. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll immediately charge over with my gun.¡±
¡°No, no.¡±
Li Bingpan hurriedly responded back. The marks on Fang Xinxin¡¯s arm were clearly caused by a serious round of bat¡¯ on the bed. He was frightened by the sight of it and had lost control of his hands. As a result, the car veered off course again and needed to be righted back.
Heposed his emotions and said politely,¡± Miss Fang, there¡¯s no way our CEO left those marks on you. His tastes aren¡¯t that poor.¡±
Fang Xinxi was enraged. Could it be that she was fated to have horrid rtionships with all the people by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side?
¡°CEO Bai, your chauffeur said your tastes are poor because you ¡®ate me¡¯.¡± Her expression was fierce.
Bai Qinghao gave her a gentle look. ¡°That¡¯s because he doesn¡¯t know how to appreciate you.¡±
¡°Did you hear that? You¡¯re the one with bad tastes.¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her chin proudly.
¡°I would rather have poor tastes.¡± Li Bingpan did not dare refute. If his boss said he did not have the ability to appreciate her, it meant he did not have it.
¡°I won¡¯t argue with someone with poor tastes.¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to lose this fight.
Li Bingpan sensed his boss¡¯s unhappiness emitting from the backseat and did not dare speak up again. In his heart, he could not help but sigh for his employer. How could he allow himself to be humiliated by such a fat and ugly woman?
A group of SUVs entered the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s courtyard entrance and came to a stop.
Fang Xinxin alighted from the car.
The Yu Ting Vi was located in a famous and wealthy residential area. It was built on a considerably big piece ofnd and the border was peppered with tall fences. Inside the vi, there was a luxurious pool, a garden, and everything one could possibly need.
The main residential space was an enormous European styled mansion. The imposing gates, the delicate white stone steps, the carved windows and the position of the building made for perfect Fengshui. This was a ce crafted for only the most deserving!
It was unmatched in terms of value. In her eyes, it was the mostvish ce she had ever set her eyes on!
To be able to live here was an unbelievable honour. Unfortunately, the Yu Ting Vi was a private space. Normal people wouldn¡¯t even be allowed toe near.

Chapter 22: Don¡¯t Close The Door When You Use The Toilet (1)

Under the bright sunlight, Fang Xinxin took in the romantic view of the Yu Ting Vi. She felt as though she was reuniting with the ce which she had parted with in another lifetime.
At the end of her previous life, she had moved out of the Yu Ting vi.
She once dreamt of leaving this ce behind, yet, when she actually left, she found herself missing it so.
Bai Qinghao saw that she was feeling emotional and approached her. The concern on his face was difficult to conceal. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
She shook her head lightly and indicated that she was fine.
The group of bodyguards that had apanied them alighted their cars. They returned to their guarding posts in an orderly manner.
The Yu Ting Vi was strictly guarded. Without Bai Qinghao¡¯s approval, it was impossible for anyone to sneak in.
More than twenty maids stood in two, clean lines before the entrance of the vi. They bowed and called out respectfully. ¡°Wee, Miss Fang!¡±
¡°Such a grand scene...¡± Fang Xinxin turned to Bai Qinghao in confusion. ¡°What is this for?¡±
¡°You rarely visit.¡± His answer was simple.
¡°This isn¡¯t my first time here. It was never like this...¡± Although he always dragged her along forcefully, she had been here enough times.
He simply wanted her to feel that she was important in this ce. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±
Fang Xinxin indeed felt the care he had for her. Her heart was warm.
She entered the lounge and scanned her surroundings. There were white stone walls embedded with gold carvings in the marble, making them look especially eye-catching. There was also a luxurious, sparkling chandelier and dark curtains of equal length gathered on the sides of white marble columns which swayed lightly with the breeze. The house was decorated with Italian furniture, and it made the entire vi appear majestic without affecting the elegance of the space.
Fuck, even the Fang family¡¯s home could notpare to this!
She needed to hold on tightly to the mansion owner¡¯s golden thighs, nooo, diamond thighs!
She turned and nced at Bai Qinghao¡¯s legs.
Bai Qinghao was confused. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
She could never openly say it. ¡°I¡¯m looking exactly where you were looking earlier.¡±
Bai Qinghao pondered over her words. Didn¡¯t she assume that he had been looking at her triangle region back in the car? Then... was she also staring at his lower region?
As he arrived at that thought, his sternplexion instantly turned suspiciously red. ¡°If you wish, we can go to my room and I can take off my clothes for you to have a proper look.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin stared at him strangely. Did this man misunderstand something?
He seemed to think that she was looking at his lower body...
She was about to exin when she suddenly became excited. ¡°Bai Qinghao, are you blushing?¡±
¡°No.¡± He denied it seriously.
¡°You are.¡± She widened her eyes. ¡°Your skin is so fair. It¡¯s obvious that you are blushing.¡±
¡°I said I¡¯m not.¡± Blushing was such an embarrassing thing. How could it possibly happen to him?
¡°It was a little stuffy on the car. Theck of air made me turn red.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± The suspicion in her gaze had yet to fade.
He intentionally made a stern expression and the redness finally faded away.
Seeing that she did not pursue the subject, he released a soft sigh of relief.
Fang Xinxin headed for the restroom. Liu Li, who was wary of her, rushed to follow.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She asked him without looking back.
¡°I¡¯m naturally keeping my eyes on you.¡±
¡°Your boss didn¡¯t issue such an order.¡±
¡°He also didn¡¯t say that I¡¯m not allowed to keep my eyes on you.¡±
¡°Very good.¡± She opened the restroom door. ¡°Since you¡¯re this capable, take a good look at me while I use the toilet.¡±
She lifted the skirt over her knees and revealed her smooth legs. ¡°If you catch a nce of anything out of line, let¡¯s see whether your boss will dig your eyes out or not!¡±

Liu Li was well aware of how possessive his CEO was. He quickly turned around. ¡°Fattie, you¡¯re too shameless. You won¡¯t even close the door when you use the toilet!¡±
She wouldn¡¯t actually do it without closing the door.
She had simply been teasing Liu Li. Who asked him to be so wary of her?
¡°That¡¯s right, I won¡¯t.¡± She released her skirt and sat on the toilet for a short rest.
¡°Liu Li, what are you doing!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s heavy voice came from the living room.
¡°Boss, this subordinate is ¡®protecting¡¯ Miss Fang!¡± He would never admit that he was guarding against her. Otherwise, he would definitely be punished.
Fang Xinxin stood up. The instant her butt left the seat, the motion sensor noticed her movements and the toilet flushed on its own.
She passed by Liu Li as she left the bathroom.
She patted him on the shoulder and said mockingly, ¡°You protected me with so much ¡®dedication¡¯. Thank you for the hard work, Bodyguard Liu.¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t touch my shoulders. You didn¡¯t wash your hands after using the restroom!¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression was full of disdain.
Fang Xinxin did not even use the restroom. However, she intentionally tried to disgust him. ¡°That¡¯s right. My hands were stained with shit. I wiped them off on your clothes.¡±
¡°...¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression revealed how hard he was struggling to tolerate her. ¡°Fattie Fang, can you not be so disgusting?¡±
¡°Can you grow some brain cells? It hasn¡¯t even been two minutes. Who can take a dump that quickly?¡±
¡°Two minutes is more than enough for me!¡±
¡°Even to poop?¡± She asked.
He harrumphed. ¡°Naturally. That¡¯s what it means to be efficient.¡±
¡°Well, I need at least 5 to 10 minutes to do that.¡±
Then she said honestly, ¡°I didn¡¯t poop earlier. If there is any shit on my hands, it was probably left by your boss in that toilet.¡±
¡°Ah... boss¡¯s shit! Then it sure smells good.¡± In Liu Li¡¯s heart, he was akin to his god.
This time, it was Fang Xinxin who was dumbstruck. ¡°It¡¯s only today that I understood how much of a bootlicker you are.¡±
Bai Qinghao was sitting on a luxurious sofa imported from Italy. When he heard their conversation, three ck lines appeared on his forehead. He spoke in a heavy voice. ¡°What nonsense are you saying! Liu Li, exin to Fang Xinxin properly.¡±
Liu Li could only speak respectfully. ¡°Miss Fang, our CEO has mysophobia. First, there¡¯s no way he wouldn¡¯t flush after using the toilet. Two, there¡¯s no way he would tolerate even the slightest speck of dirt in his toilet. His toilet is even cleaner than your face. Thus, your theory that your hands were dirtied with my CEO¡¯s shit is unrealistic. In this lifetime, it¡¯s unlikely that you¡¯ll ever see my CEO¡¯s shit.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin gritted her teeth and was provoked by his words. ¡°Argh, can you notpare this woman¡¯s face to a toilet?¡±
¡°It¡¯s the honest truth.¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± Fang Xinxin cursed. ¡°In the future, when I be beautiful, I¡¯ll definitely blind your cheap eyes.¡±
¡°Do you mean, in our next lives?¡± Liu Li was very sincere.
¡°Hmph.¡± Fang Xinxin returned to the living room and raised her voice at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Qinghao, the next time you¡¯re taking a dump, let me have a look.¡±
Bai Qinghao was holding the tea cup and had taken a sip when he heard her words. He nearly spat the drink out.
Thankfully, he was sufficiently well brought up and would nevermit such an action.
He forced himself to swallow, only for it to go down the wrong tube. He immediately choked and coughed.
Fang Xinxin, this fucking woman! Her frightening words were truly relentless.
¡°Are you all right? ¡°Fang Xinxin rushed to his side.
She reached out and patted his chest. She spoke softly as though coaxing a child. ¡°There there. You¡¯ll be fine after a moment...¡±
Bai Qinghao stared at her in shock. It seemed like... she no longer disliked touching him?

In the past, didn¡¯t she disdain touching even his sleeves?
¡°Have you gone silly from choking?¡± Fang Xinxin stared at his dumbstruck expression with some confusion.
Bai Qinghao reached out and held her hand. He sounded slightly moved. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to express care toward him.
In a soft voice, she responded back. ¡°En?¡±
Her gentle tone caused him to feel some grief. He had thought that he would never be able to speak amiably with her in this lifetime.
He was silent. How wonderful would it be if she could be this gentle towards him for the rest of their lives?
¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I¡¯m going to have some tea.¡± Fang Xinxin picked up Bai Qinghao¡¯s cup and downed the tea in two gulps.
Since her elopement with Bai Chenxist night, and the tiring activity with Bai Qinghao after that, she hadn¡¯t even had a single sip of water.
How could one cup be enough? She picked up the teapot and refilled her cup. She finished it in one gulp.
Cup after cup...
By her sixth refill, the teapot was empty.
She nced at the maid by the side and ordered. ¡°Go bring three more pots of water here. Use a bigger teapot!¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The helper immediately headed for the kitchen. She quickly returned with threerge pots.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to pour cup after cup of water. She stood up and lifted the teapot, tilting it into her mouth.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Very quickly, threerge pots were emptied.
¡°Whew...¡± She sat back down on the couch and finally felt better.
Bai Qinghao, the maids by the side, and even Liu Li werepletely dumbstruck.
Those pots of water were sufficient to feed one person for several days. She finished it so quickly? She sure could drink!
¡°What are you looking at!¡± Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. ¡°Have you never seen a fat person drink and eat?¡±
She patted her chest. ¡°Let me tell you guys. I¡¯m not only good at drinking water. I¡¯m just as capable when ites to eating. Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t eaten sincest night. I¡¯m so hungry.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, don¡¯t worry. Young Master instructed us beforehand to prepare lots of food for you. I¡¯ll serve it now.¡± The maid pped her hands and a group of maids appeared with trays of fragrant food in their hands.
Shark fin buddha¡¯s temptation, braised sea cucumber with bai ling mushrooms, mandarin fish, bergamot gold rolls...
More than twenty fragrant dishes were brought out. The sight of them alone was sufficient to cause one to drool.
The delicious fragrance filled the entire living room.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes widened. Her body began trembling in agitation. ¡°So... so much delicious food!¡±
Bai Qinghao took in her greedy appearance. A hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes. ¡°I know your appetite has always been good. I was worried that you would be hungry. On the way to the vi, I informed them to prepare these. This much food would be more than enough to feed ten people.¡±
Fang Xinxin was moved. She turned to him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re really too good to me!¡±
These dishes were famous and expensive. This was unlike the Fang home. The food they gave her there was always cheap.
Bai Qinghao was once again dumbstruck.
In the past, it was not that he had never prepared food for her. However, everytime, she would flip the dishes over and had said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can buy me over with food!¡±
He hoped that she was being sincere right now. Otherwise... she wouldn¡¯t be able to bear the consequences!
Just when everyone assumed that Fang Xinxin would begin stuffing herself with food, she approached the table with a pair of chopsticks and took a small bite from every dish. Then she ced the chopsticks down. ¡°I¡¯m full now!¡±

In truth, it was easy to feel hungry with her body size. She was ravenous to the point where it felt like her stomach was caving in.
Furthermore, these dishes were made by famous chefs. They were unbelievably delicious!
If she was still the previous her, finishing all this food would be a simple feat.
The taste of the delicious food lingered in her mouth. But she held in the desire and waved her hand. ¡°Take the food away!¡±
This was an extremely difficult decision to make. For a fat woman to abandon food when she was starving was akin to being punished by God.
No one would understand how much her heart was bleeding right now.
However, she needed to lose weight!
108 kilograms!! If she wanted to reduce her size, she needed to be harsh to herself.
If she still ate so much, forget losing, she would probably even add on more.
By tasting every dish once, she acknowledged the thought that Bai Qinghao had ced into preparing these for her.
The row of maids exchanged looks but did not move.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows and asked her. ¡°Are the dishes not to your taste? What do you feel like eating? I¡¯ll have the chefs prepare them.¡±
I want to eat you! I¡¯m hungry to the point where I could swallow you alive.
Fang Xinxin nced at him lovingly. However, being the shy person that she was, she could not express her thoughts in front of so many people.
Bai Qinghao felt her shining eyes on him and got the wrong impression that she wanted to sleep with him.
His heart became agitated. If she truly wanted it, he would satisfy her endlessly.
Within a blink of an eye, he saw that her attention was back on the food. He guessed that he hade to the wrong conclusion.
¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare anything more.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°The dishes are all good. I¡¯m just full.¡±
Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. ¡°But you ate so little.¡±
¡°It¡¯s already a lot. I drank fourrge pots of water earlier!¡±
¡°And so, are you trying to help me save food?¡± He was unhappy.
¡°No.¡± She confessed honestly.
¡°I drank the water to fill myself up intentionally. I don¡¯t want to keep thinking about food. I want to lose weight!¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at her round figure. ¡°There¡¯s no need to lose weight. You¡¯re not fat at all.¡±
Bodyguard Liu and the maids mentally rolled their eyes. Fang Xinxin weighed 108 kilograms. How could that not be fat? Boss, are you speaking blind words with your eyes wide open?
Fang Xinxin understood that Bai Qinghao did not care if she was fat. He loved her nheless.
Such a man truly needed to be cherished.
For him, she would reduce this unhealthy load.
¡°The doctor said that it¡¯s detrimental to my health being so fat. All of my organs are under a lot of stress. I need to lose weight.¡± Her words were honest.
When she lived in the Fang home, no one had ever taken her to visit a doctor.
It was only after marrying Bai Qinghao that she saw one. At that time, the doctor had said so.
The doctor had also found out that the reason for her being overweight was not just the food she had eaten. There were also a lot of hormone drugs in her body.
It was only then that she discovered someone in the Fang family had fed her medicines to fatten her up intentionally.
And consuming too much of those drugs had affected her ability to give birth.
In her previous life, she had managed to be pregnant despite the difficulties. Unfortunately, the child...
A sharp pain pierced through her heart.
In this lifetime, she would seek repayment for all of the debts owed to her!
Hearing her exnation, Bai Qinghao nodded. ¡°All right. Health is important. But you can¡¯t lose weight so rapidly. You¡¯ll cause yourself to fall ill. Leave five dishes and two bowls of rice here.¡±
The maids obeyed his order and ced five of the dishes on the luxurious dining table. Then they brought another bowl of rice and another pair of chopsticks.
Fang Xinxin acknowledged to herself that losing weight had to be a gradual process. Otherwise, she would starve herself to death.

Furthermore, since Bai Qinghao had spoken, there was no way she could get away with not eating.
¡°All right.¡± She sat down before the dining table and, like a tornado, she swept through the dishes. She emptied two bowls of rice in what seemed like a couple of bites. Her speed was akin to that of a cheetah charging through a forest. Not a single crumb was left behind.
She then released a burp of satisfaction.
Everyone watching her was once again dumbstruck.
Liu Li¡¯s voice held disbelief. ¡°Fattie Fang, are you the reincarnation of a hungry ghost?¡±
Although two bowls of rice and five dishes wasn¡¯t that much, the fat woman had just finished consuming four pots of water before that.
This was also Bai Qinghao¡¯s first time watching Fang Xinxin eat. It took him some time to react. Within a blink of an eye, all the tes had been emptied.
¡°You ate too quickly. It¡¯s easy to choke that way. Eat slowly next time.¡± Bai Qinghao reminded her with some heartache.
¡°All right.¡± Fang Xinxin scratched her head awkwardly. ¡°I was starving, so the way I ate wasn¡¯t very attractive. Everyone, please don¡¯t mind it, haha... hehe...¡±
Fuck, the food was so delicious that she almost swallowed the tes. This was much better than the dog food served at the Fang home.
Bai Qinghao watched her greedy appearance. ¡°Should I have them serve up the other dishes from earlier?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t!¡± Fang Xinxin desperately wanted to agree. However, for the sake of losing weight, she could only restrain herself.
¡°I¡¯m already very full. Um, I want to sleep now. Where is my room?¡±
She spokefortably as though this was her home.
¡°Take her to the first room on the third floor.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded.
The maids were stunned. That was the Young Master¡¯s room!
Their Young Master suffered from mysophobia. How could he possibly endure having another person in his room? Even the maids had to put on gloves and be on their guards when they cleaned his room.
Despite their concerns, they still politely guided Fang Xinxin to the third floor.
Liu Li raised a loud protest. ¡°Boss. Didn¡¯t you bring back Fang Xinxin to lock her up? Why are you putting her up in your bedroom?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was unhappy. ¡°When did I say I would lock her up?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t, but...¡± Liu Li noticed his CEO¡¯s frigid gaze and did not dare to continue.
However, he could not help but add further. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin has unclear motives and is hiding a fruit knife in her bag. You have to be on your guard!¡±
As a loyal subordinate, even if his boss was unhappy, he needed to warn him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted away from Fang Xinxin¡¯s back view. She had better not be ying any tricks!
...
Fang Xinxin was guided by one of the maids into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bedroom.
The bedroom was extravagantly decorated. There were four simple, yet imposing ceilingmps. Soft, genuine leather lined the walls, and exquisite wood crafted decors were ced inside to match thevish room.
The European style bed was also much bigger than a regr bed.
The bedroom was connected to its own living room and all the furniture was of superior quality. In one nce, she could tell that it was multiple times more luxurious than a presidential suite in a five star hotel!
There was also a liquor cab embedded into the wall. It stored many expensive alcohol bottles. The white and red wines were all neatly lined up.
Fang Xinxin stood before the liquor cab with sparkling eyes.
These were worth at least several thousand dors per bottle.
She did not have much interest in drinking. However, if she snuck one out to sell...
Cough, cough... Even if she had gone mad from poverty, it wasn¡¯t right to steal.
¡°Miss Fang, do not touch anything in the Young Master¡¯s bedroom.¡±
Chapter 27: Her Ability (Part 1)
Chapter 27: Her Ability (Part 1)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
The maid started rattling off instructions coldly. ¡°Do not touch the liquor cab with your hands. The Young Master hates the ce being dirty the most. If you identally touch the cab and leave behind any fingerprints, your hands will be cut off. Do not me me for not warning you.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin nced at the frigid looking maid. She did not appear to be more than twenty two years old. The Young Master was indifferent and cold, and his helpers were ridiculously rigid. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Ji Qing,¡± the maid responded.
¡°I won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled and scanned her surroundings. It was really sparkling clean.
Impossible for her to find even a single speck of dust.
She rubbed her hands together until they became warm. Then... she pressed her palm firmly against the ss of the liquor cab.
The maid, Ji Qing, became flustered. Her eyes widened. ¡°Miss Fang, what are you doing!¡±
¡°Not much.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression also turned cold. ¡°I just want you to understand. Since Bai Qinghao has allowed me to stay in his bedroom, even temporarily, I am now one of the owners of this room. I can touch anything in this room as I please. As a maid, you don¡¯t have the right to point your fingers at me and tell me what to do!¡±
¡°...¡± Ji Qing could not refute her words. She did not know the importance this woman held in her Young Master¡¯s heart, but she genuinely felt that this fat and ugly woman was unsuitable for him.
Fang Xinxin did not wish to be petty. However, she had seen the disdain in Ji Qing¡¯s eyes.
She hated it the most when others looked at her that way. ¡°You can leave now.¡±
¡°You will regret your words.¡± Ji Qing looked at Fang Xinxin coldly and turned to go.
Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t scared of Bai Qinghao removing her hands. In her previous life, the man had even given his life for her.
¡°Wow!¡± She rushed into the bedroom and jumped on the bed with her arms spread out.
The luxurious bed was as soft as a cloud. It bounced under her slightly.
A wide, extravagant bed and clean sheets... she rolled back and forth happily across the bed.
His bed was reallyfortable and had been custom made by a famous designer.
After sleeping with Bai Qinghao, she was now sleeping in his bed... why did her heart feel warm?
The room was empty. She sat up.
She wanted to check if her ability was still present.
In her previous life, after she lost her sight and half of her body was paralysed, she becamepletely dependent on Bai Qinghao.
However, everyone believed that she had betrayed Bai Qinghao and they treated her like trash. Even though Bai Qinghao instructed his maids to take good care of her, his orders werepletely neglected.
She did not receive any care whatsoever. Whenever she wanted water or some food, she was always ignored.
Several times, after she dirtied her pants due to her paralytic state, they would leave her be.
That sort of helplessness could not be understood by those who had never experienced it before.
Strangely, since losing her sight, her hearing improved tremendously.
Just by footsteps alone, she could tell who was walking by. Based on the sound of the tray being set down, she could also tell where the maid had left food.
Once, when no one was around, she had been extremely thirsty. All she could think about was water.
She knew that it was only a few steps away. For some reason, when she focused all of her thoughts on it, the ss of water actually trembled.
Afterwards, she concentrated and applied all her strength, making the ss move.
Slowly, she realised that she had a unique ability which a normal person did not possess.
Her ability wasn¡¯t an omnipotent or unrealistic one from a fantasy novel oric.

Instead, it was simr to the movie ¡®God of Gamblers¡¯ which Stephen Chow had featured in. She could move things without touching them, look through barriers, influence someone¡¯s thoughts with her mind and even conceal herself. In her previous life, after investing a lot of effort into training herself, she could also walk through walls.
Still, her ability to see through barriers only allowed her to look underneath cards and dice cups.
Her ability to conceal herself also wasn¡¯t very strong. She could only temporarily obscure someone¡¯s vision and cause them to believe that she wasn¡¯t present there.
Aside from moving things in the air, everything else consumed a lot of energy. At times, when she overused her ability, she would even lose consciousness.
In her previous life, she often practiced when she was alone for long hours.
She had gradually improved from being able to shake a small ss of water, to lifting it in the air, to bringing things across barriers...
She learned all of these gradually after putting in a lot of effort.
Although Bai Qinghao frequently visited her to care for her, his heart had been weak and he needed to undergo several operations. He spent most of his time in the hospital and could not give her the attention she needed.
After she eloped with Bai Chenxi, her rtionship with Bai Qinghao had deteriorated drastically. She stubbornly and repeatedly rebelled against him, causing harm to him. As a result, his heart had suffered multiple agitations.
She was the reason why he eventually needed surgery.
She never expected that, after losing her sight and bing paralysed, the only time she lived well was when he was by her side.
No one knew of her ability in her previous life. She would only use it to retrieve water when no one would respond to her, or to bring an extra nket from the cupboard when it was cold. asionally, she would also use it to toss her dirty clothes in the bathroom.
Now that she thought about it, in her previous life, she had focused her ability entirely on making life more convenient for herself.
She came back from her memories and tried to concentrate. As she stared at the liquor cab, the doors opened and the bottles of alcohol flew out smoothly. They froze in mid-air.
Momentster, the bottles returned back to their original position and the liquor cab shut close.
She stood up and headed to the bathroom. Instead of opening the door, she focussed hard and pressed her left middle and index finger to her right ones. She then lifted her feet and walked straight through the wall.
She smiled happily in the bathroom.
Her ability was still present. The efforts and practice in her previous life had not been wasted.
Thank god!
In this world, everyone knew that individuals with unique abilities existed.
Under typical circumstances, such individuals would only have a single ability. For example, if they could look under a card, they would not be able to do anything more than that.
That she possessed so many abilities naturally meant she was one in a million.
She had no intention of harming others and never used her powers to be mischievous. She simply wanted to rely on them to protect herself.
After walking through the wall to enter the bathroom, she did not do it again to exit. After all, such a power consumed a lot of energy. She needed to rest or she would exhaust herself.
She opened the door and headed out. She thenid down on the luxurious bed and fell asleep.
Sometimeter, the sound of the door opening startled Fang Xinxin awake.
She opened her eyes and was surprised by the person who came in.
Chapter 29: Second Sister, Fang Manxue
Chapter 29: Second Sister, Fang Manxue
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Fang Xinxin had an elder brother, Fang Shaohua, and an elder sister, Fang Manxue.
Fang Group was a mid levelpany in terms of influence. Ever since her father went into aa, the position of Fang Group¡¯s director was naturally handed to her mother, Fang Ln.
Her father had married into the Fang family. As a result, both her elder siblings and she took on their mother¡¯s surname.
However, only Fang Manxue and she were biologically rted to their parents. Her elder brother Fang Shaohua was an orphan adopted by her parents.
Fang Xinxin and Fang Shaohua did not have blood rtions, but he always took good care of her.
Unfortunately, her honest and warm brother was currently in jail.
On the surface, Fang Manxue appeared to treat her extremely well. However, the truth was that she had always plotted against her, and came up with ways to seduce Bai Qinghao.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin learned from her doctor that her inability to lose weight was due to therge amount of hormone drugs she had consumed. It had also affected her ability to give birth.
She had thought long and hard about it, and felt that the only person who could have drugged her food for such a long period was Fang Manxue.
At the time, she had looked for Fang Manxue. However, she had still been fearful of Fang Xinxin¡¯s position as Mrs. Bai and did not admit to it.
It was only after she lost her sight and became half-paralysed, that Fang Manxue came to visit her. She bragged about drugging her with hormonal pills and even confessed that she had tampered with her cosmetic products. Her skin was e-ridden due to that.
At the time, she still valued her rtionship with Fang Manxue. Despite learning the truth, she did not ask for Bai Qinghao¡¯s help to seek justice.
Afterward, Fang Manxue became even more brazen. She started to bully her half-paralysed and blind sister tantly...
As Fang Xinxin recalled the old memories, her gaze turned cold for a moment before she quickly restrained her emotions.
It was better to let Fang Manxue assume that she was still innocent and naive. That way, when she needed to deal with her, she would catch her off guard.
Today, Fang Manxue was dressed in a red dress that cinched around her waist. She had adorned it with a gold belt, and its exquisite design highlighted her perfect figure. Her features were eye-catching and her ck hair was smooth. A lock of slightly curled hairid casually by her ears and added grace to her overall appearance.
It was clear that she had put in a lot of effort into dressing up today. Fang Manxue was beautiful. She even had the nickname, ¡®City¡¯s Number One Beauty.¡¯
While Fang Xinxin was unfortunately nicknamed as the ¡®City¡¯s Number One Ugly Woman¡¯.
The fact that both of them were born in the Fang family was a hot topic in the city.
And with Bai Qinghao¡¯s status and influential family background, most people naturally assumed that his fiancee was Fang Manxue.
In her previous life, she had loved Bai Chenxi and naturally did not mind those rumours. However, things were different now...
¡°Xinxin, what¡¯s wrong? I heard you had a car ident and were hospitalised. Are you feeling alright?¡± Fang Manxue hurried over in her pair of high heels. Her expression was filled with anxiety and worry.
Fang Xinx nced at her. If this was their previous lifetime, she would surely have been very touched.
Unfortunately, she now knew that Fang Manxue desperately wanted her dead. All of her concern was fabricated!
¡°There was a small injury on my elbow but it¡¯s already been taken care of.¡±
Then Fang Xinxin asked her curiously. ¡°How did you find out that I was hospitalised?¡±
¡°Bai Chenxi told me.¡± Fang Manxue responded.
¡°I went to the hospital to visit you and found out that Bai Qinghao has locked you up in the Yu Ting Vi. Bai Qinghao is really too much. You¡¯re a person, not a beast. How can he do this to you?¡±

Her sister¡¯s choice of words was smart. On the surface, she appeared to be upset on her behalf. But, she was secretly inciting a conflict, provoking her to be dissatisfied with Bai Qinghao¡¯s actions.
In her previous life, she had hated Bai Qinghao even more after hearing this. However, right now, all she had for Bai Qinghao was love. Hence, she would not be affected.
Fang Xinxin put on a ¡®naive¡¯ facade and said, ¡°Who said that Bai Qinghao has locked me up?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that the case?¡± Fang Manxue spoke angrily.
¡°He locked you here without your or the Fang family¡¯s consent. He is restricting your personal freedom!¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared unaffected. ¡°The Yu Ting Vi isn¡¯t a ce anyone can enter. It¡¯s an honour to be here. Second Sister, the reason you¡¯re able toe in and out of the Yu Ting Vi freely is also because of me.¡±
From what she recalled, Fang Manxue was a cunning woman. Whenever she made any secret ns with Bai Chenxi, Fang Manxue would report them to Bai Qinghao with details added to dramatise the situation.
Bai Qinghao had wanted to gain full control of her actions and over time, he gave Fang Manxue the permission to enter the Yu Ting Vi as she pleased.
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression stiffened. ¡°Xinxin, how can you say so? What do you mean it¡¯s because of you? The reason I¡¯m allowed to enter the Yu Ting Vi is because Bai Qinghao likes me.¡±
If it had been earlier, Fang Xinxin would have trusted everything Fang Manxue said. However, right now, she was only bored by her act.
If Bai Qinghao genuinely liked Fang Manxue, why did he insist on marrying Fang Xinxin in their previous life?
¡°Oh? Has Bai Qinghao said that he likes you? I have to go and ask him about this.¡± Fang Xinxin moved to get off the bed, but was stopped by Fang Manxue, who rushed to hold her back.
¡°Don¡¯t ask Hao this sort of question. He has always been cold and indifferent. Even if you ask him, he won¡¯t admit to it.¡±
¡°Hao...¡± Fang Xinxin looked at her as though she found this amusing.
¡°Second Sister, he is your future brother-inw. How can you address him so intimately? Isn¡¯t that inappropriate?¡±
Fang Manxue responded immediately. ¡°The one you love is Bai Chenxi. Sooner orter, Bai Qinghao will dissolve his marriage contract with you. Does it matter what I call him?¡±
¡°As long as our marriage contract exists, he is still your younger sister¡¯s fianc¨¦.¡± Fang Xinxin became serious.
¡°Second Sister, please do not address him as... Hao. Otherwise...¡±
¡°What? Are you going toin to Bai Qinghao? You eloped with Bai Chenxist night. Do you think Bai Qinghao would still pay you any attention?¡± Fang Xinxin appeared fearless.
Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Why do I have toin to Bai Qinghao? All I have to do is to inform the media nicely that Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e is me and not you. What do you think will be tomorrow¡¯s headlines? The Fang Group¡¯s Second Young Lady has been coveting her younger sister¡¯s fianc¨¦?¡±
¡°I can just tell the media that they misunderstood.¡± Fang Manxue was someone who would never back down easily.
¡°I¡¯ve never dered myself to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. It¡¯s just that everyone knew it to be the Fang family¡¯s daughter and assumed that it¡¯s me.¡±
Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°In that case, I should really ept an interview and rify that I am Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. This way, they will realise that they have misunderstood the situation.¡±
Fang Manxue did not wish for Fang Xinxin to clear up this misunderstanding. She wanted everyone to assume that she was the soon-to-be Mrs. Bai. ¡°Xinxin, if you do this, Bai Chenxi will be heartbroken. Besides, what¡¯s the point in doing so? In anycase, Bai Qinghao won¡¯t want you.¡±

Bai Qinghao had a cold but handsome appearance. He also possessed what seemed like an infinite amount of wealth. Combined with his unique and powerful family background, it would be strange if Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart had never inclined towards him.
However, throughout the years, Fang Manxue always told her that Bai Qinghao would never want her, that she was too fat, too ugly and not suitable to be the Bai Family¡¯s youngdy.
As a result, she grew to be extremely insecure, to the point where she did not dare to yearn for Bai Qinghao.
In contrast, Bai Chenxi was the only person who always treated her gently. He always praised her... inner beauty.
She weighed 108 kilograms and was covered in e. She had also intentionally darkened her skin to a frightening level. It was likely that even Bai Chenxi, who had wanted to pretend to like her, could not find it in himself to praise her surface beauty.
In her previous life, she had remained stubbornly in love with Bai Chenxi.
She believed that he was a man who only valued inner beauty, and did not mind what was on the surface.
She never expected that Bai Chenxi¡¯s intentions were to snatch away Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman and the Bai family¡¯s inheritance.
Fang Manxue appeared as though it was only right for her to covet her sister¡¯s fianc¨¦.
Fang Xinxin found her to be an ugly sight. However, she maintained the smile on her lips. ¡°Second Sister, Bai Qinghao brought me back to the Yu Ting Vi and even allowed me to sleep in his bedroom. This indicates that he still wants me. There¡¯s no need for you to worry.¡±
Fang Manxue nced around the bedroom. It was even more luxurious than the presidential suite of a hotel. She found herself getting aggrieved and angered.
What right did Fang Xinxin, this ugly woman, have to live in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main bedroom? This ce was infinitely better than the Fang home!
In order to gain permission to enter the Yu Ting Vi, Fang Manxue had to secretly invest a lot of effort.
Yet, she could only make visits when she had proper reasons. She also had no rights to sleep here.
Despite the jealousy in her heart, Fang Manxue maintained the appearance of wanting the best for her sister. She held her wrist. ¡°Quicky stand up. You can¡¯t stay in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main bedroom.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Fang Xinxin did not budge from the bed.
There was one advantage in being fat. As long as she did not want to, there was no way Fang Manxue could move her.
¡°What else can it be? Bai Chenxi will misunderstand you, ah!¡± Fang Manxue tugged her a few times but found it futile. She decided to attack her with words instead. ¡°This is where Bai Qinghao sleeps. If Bai Chenxi learns that you¡¯re sleeping here, wouldn¡¯t he misunderstand that you¡¯re sharing a bed with Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not a misunderstanding.¡± Fang Xinxin responded ¡®innocently¡¯.
¡°Aren¡¯t I sleeping on Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed?¡±
The edge of Fang Manxue¡¯s lips was twitching violently from anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you dumb? I meant that Bai Chenxi will misunderstand that you have an intimate rtionship with Bai Qinghao!¡±
Back in the hospital, Bai Chenxi had personally overheard Bai Qinghao taking her first time. However, since Fang Manxue appeared unaware of it, she would not bring it up.
¡°Let Bai Chenxi assume as he pleases.¡±
¡°Xinxin, you...¡± Fang Manxue felt that Fang Xinxin, the idiot, seemed to have changed.
If it had been before, Xinxin would already be anxious to leave with her.
Although the Yu Ting Vi wasn¡¯t a ce she could leave as she pleased, she had nned to teach this woman to threaten to kill herself to get out of the vi.
From the corner of her eyes, Fang Manxue noticed that Bai Qinghao was about to enter the bedroom.
She immediately changed the topic and spoke as though to reprimand her. ¡°Third sister, how could you elope with Bai Chenxi? Commander Bai treats you so well. In doing so, you¡¯re letting him down! Mother and I really did not teach you well. How could you do something so shameful?¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin watched as Bai Qinghao entered the room. Even an idiot would realise that those words were intentionally spoken for Bai Qinghao to overhear.

Bai Qinghao had chosen not to pursue the matter anymore, yet Fang Manxue insisted on bringing it up.
As expected, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened upon hearing her words.
It seemed that in his heart, he still minded the matter very much.
Fang Manxue pretended as though she had just noticed Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance. She bowed respectfully. ¡°CEO Bai... I¡¯m really sorry. My third sister tried to elope with Bai Chenxi because she isn¡¯t sufficiently mature yet. Please take her young age into consideration and forgive her.¡±
On the surface, she appeared to be speaking on Fang Xinxin¡¯s behalf. However she knew that Bai Qinghao was the sort of man who would never forgive Fang Xinxin for doing this.
The instant Bai Qinghao dissolved his marriage contract with Fang Xinxin, she would immediately chase this fat, ugly woman out of the Fang home!
Fang Xinxin did not mind rifying the matter. ¡°Second sister, you ran all the way here to tell me off for eloping with Bai Chenxi, and you found me guilty without even asking me any questions. Why are you maligning me like this?¡±
What was wrong with this fat woman? Why was she speaking like this? Had it been earlier, she would already have admitted her rtionship with Bai Chenxi and be in a rush to separate from Bai Qinghao. Fang Manxue was extremely unhappy. ¡°What do you mean by that? The facts are right before our eyes. You eloped with Bai Chenxi!¡±
¡°Elope, elope!¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed.
¡°All of you keep saying that I eloped with Bai Chenxi. Did I tell you that, or did Bai Chenxi tell you that? In fact, I only boarded Bai Chenxi¡¯s car with my luggage because he was driving me to the airport. We met with an ident on the way and were sent to the same hospital. Someone chose to malign us because they wanted to make up a spiteful story.¡±
No matter what Bai Chenxi said to Fang Manxue, he would never admit that they had eloped.
This was because that male prostitute was not only fearful of rumours that he seduced his sister-inw. He was also afraid of Bai Qinghao killing him in a single strike.
Fang Manxue spoke sternly. ¡°You make it sound like it wasn¡¯t a big deal, but the two of you were in the same carte at night!¡±
¡°I booked the ticket for a 2 a.m. flight. It only made sense to leave at that time.¡± Fang Xinxin responded.
¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Bai Chenxi to see if our words match.¡±
Fang Manxue was aware that Bai Chenxi would never admit to eloping. He also wasn¡¯t interested in this fat woman.
When she had asked Bai Chenxi about it earlier, he also imed that he had been driving Fang Xinxin to the airport.
She simply wanted to borrow this topic to dramatize matters.
¡°Oh, also...¡± Fang Xinxin said as an afterthought, ¡°I was headed for a trip to Thand. I booked my own flight ticket. I didn¡¯t book one for Bai Chenxi. This clearly indicates we were not headed for the same ce together.¡±
The truth was, she did not have the money to buy a ticket for Bai Chenxi.
Bai Chenxi had also lied to her. He had imed he would buy his own ticket but it turned out he never did. He did not have the slightest intention of leaving with her.
The pitiful her had been thoroughly fooled by Bai Chenxi in her previous life. That bastard had wanted to make use of her to anger Bai Qinghao into ruining his health.
She had fallen for his trick once, but she would not allow it to happen again. It was good that things turned out this way. It indicated that she had really nned on leaving alone.
¡°So what? You were a pair of man and woman alone at night...¡± Fang Manxue wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Fang Xinxin¡¯s coldughter.
¡°Have you never shared a car with a man in the middle of the night? For example,st month, Senior Zheng Kun sent you back to the Fang home at 2.30a.m....¡±
¡°Stop!¡± Fang Manxue rushed to interrupt her. She could not let her image of a wise and virtuous woman get tarnished in front of Bai Qinghao.
¡°That never happened. You must have seen wrongly!¡±

¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin thought back. ¡°At the time, I was sitting in our courtyard. It waste at night and I was able to see clearly in the moonlight...¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, I said you saw wrongly!¡± Fang Manxue was furious.
¡°We¡¯re talking about you right now!¡± She was afraid Fang Xinxin would refuse to let go of that matter.
¡°All right, let¡¯s just pretend that your elopement with Bai Chenxi was a misunderstanding.¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®pretend¡¯?¡± Fang Xinxin spoke unhurriedly.
¡°It was a misunderstanding.¡± She nced at Bai Qinghao who was standing on the side with a cold expression. He was really unbelievably handsome. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to believe in me!¡±
In the past, she always avoided Bai Qinghao. Right now, there was barely any trust between them. ¡°Even if you can¡¯t believe me, you have to believe in Bai Chenxi.¡±
Fang Manxue appeared as though she had heard a joke. ¡°Third Sister, have you gone silly? You want CEO Bai to believe in the man who eloped with you?¡±
¡°You have to believe that Bai Chenxi... isn¡¯t interested in me. He would never elope with me.¡± Fang Xinxin sat on the bed and looked at Bai Qinghao seriously.
¡°Bai Chenxi is someone who judges people based on appearances. He doesn¡¯t like my appearance, and he would never give up the Bai family¡¯s glory for my sake. Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m sure you understand him well. Isn¡¯t that right?¡±
Her words made sense. Bai Qinghao minded the matter very much. He had imed to believe her back at the hospital, but her attachment to Bai Chenxi had been going on for many years. It was difficult to actually do so.
It was only in this moment that the shard in his heart was properly removed, and he finally believed that she hadn¡¯t intended to elope with him.
He approached the bed and reached out to touch Fang Xinxin¡¯s face. ¡°I believe in you.¡±
The four words were sincere.
It became clear to Fang Manxue that she could no longer use this matter against Fang Xinxin. She felt very stifled.
She was also dumbstruck by the sight of Bai Qinghao gently caressing Fang Xinxin¡¯s e-covered face!
Didn¡¯t they say that Bai Qinghao disliked touching women? Furthermore, Fang Xinxin was so ugly.
Didn¡¯t he mind Fang Xinxin¡¯s unevenplexion?
If she had known Bai Qinghao wasn¡¯t picky at all, and would even touch such an ugly woman, she wouldn¡¯t have stuck to hints. She would have thrown herself into his embrace.
Damn it. Didn¡¯t Fang Xinxin dislike Bai Qinghao the most? Why wasn¡¯t she moving away...
Smoke was about toe out of Fang Manxue¡¯s ears.
¡°Qinghao, I was in Bai Chenxi¡¯s carte at night because I wanted to make you jealous. Please don¡¯t be angry at me.¡± Fang Xinxin scattered a bunch of dog food right before Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes.
¡°All right. I¡¯m not angry.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s typically cold and heavy voice had turned soft. He was overjoyed that Fang Xinxin was not avoiding his touch.
In the past, he wasn¡¯t allowed to even touch her sleeves. She had been like a hedgehog, unlike her current obedient appearance.
He continued in a gentle tone. ¡°Don¡¯t put yourself down again. There¡¯s nothing wrong with being fat. You are adorable. Bai Chenxi doesn¡¯t know how to appreciate you because he has poor tastes.¡±
Fang Xinxin was moved by his words. ¡°You¡¯re so good to me...¡±
Bai Chenxi¡¯s hand paused against her cheek. He hoped that she genuinely felt that way.
Fang Manxue gritted her teeth and reminded him. ¡°CEO Bai, since you find my third sister¡¯s fat body adorable, do you also like her e-covered face and her dark skin?¡±
¡°She¡¯s really beautiful.¡± Bai Qinghao responded mildly.
Fang Manxue¡¯s teeth almost broke due to gritting them hard. ¡°Are you speaking ironically? My third sister has such an ugly... special face. You find her beautiful?¡±

¡°Bullshit!¡± Bai Qinghao turned his frigid gaze onto her. ¡°Why are you still here?¡±
His heavy aura caused Fang Manxue to tremble in fright.
She was fearful of his demeanor, yet at the same time, her desire for such an outstanding man kept growing.
She took a secret nce at Fang Xinxin. Earlier, when Bai Qinghao spoke to Fang Xinxin, his tone had been gentle.
Yet, when he spoke to her, his tone was icy cold. She found this extremely difficult to ept!
Bai Qinghao was hers, Fang Manxue¡¯s! Fang Xinxin was not suitable for him.
Fang Manxueposed herself. A hint of pain shed past her eyes. ¡°CEO Bai... seeing that your rtionship with Xinxin is so good... I really can¡¯t bear to bring this up. But... in the city, your presence is akin to that of an emperor.¡± Her eyes reddened.
¡°And I can¡¯t bear to watch the emperor be fooled!¡±
Her goal today was to destroy all possibilities of Fang Xinxin getting together with Bai Qinghao!
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Fang Manxue, what more are you trying to y at? You¡¯re even using the word, ¡¯emperor¡¯ for him.¡±
She directed a sweet smile towards Bai Qinghao. ¡°My emperor, you should listen to what other tricks my second sister has in store for you.¡±
Bai Qinghao gave Fang Xinxin a gentle look. However, when he turned to Fang Manxue, his tone was freezing cold. ¡°Speak!¡±
Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip and appeared as though she was struggling. ¡°CEO Bai, I really can¡¯t say this. It¡¯s Xinxin... this is much more serious than just eloping. She caused such a big trouble. As her sister, I have to protect her. Furthermore, previously, she also begged me not to tell you this.¡±
¡°Second sister, why don¡¯t I remember ever begging you for anything?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold.
Fang Manxue noticed that Bai Qinghao was losing patience. She knew that if she did not continue speaking, she would incite his fury.
But she had wanted to stir up their interests before leading to a dramatic reveal. This was to maintain her appearance as a good sister, and to build his good feelings for her. ¡°My sister, she... she has already slept with your cousin, Bai Chenxi!¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression stiffened. Such a big lie! She was impressed by her sister¡¯s shamelessness.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression also darkened. ¡°Fang Manxue, who gave you the courage to nder my fianc¨¦e?¡±
He had taken Fang Xinxin¡¯s innocence at the hospital. And he was very certain that it was her first time.
In fact, he had felt guilty for forcefully taking her in front of Bai Chenxi.
Afterward, she followed him to the Yu Ting Vi. Perhaps it was because she was exhausted, but she slept for an entire day post that and only managed to wake up for some porridge in between.
He had even called a doctor over. Thankfully, she had only exhausted herself and was not ill. Only then, did he set his heart at ease.
For the past two days, Fang Xinxin had been at the Yu Ting Vi. There waspletely no opportunity for her to have had any intimacy with Bai Chenxi!
Fang Manxue turned pale at Bai Qinghao¡¯s fierce tone. She felt her feet bing cold.
She had been too fearful to say it, but she felt that she needed to force Fang Xinxin topletely lose her right to stand before Bai Qinghao. She thickened her skin and continued. ¡°CEO Bai, how could I possibly dare to nder Xinxin? I have evidence that Xinxin really slept with Bai Chenxi.¡±
She would not let go of the ugly bitch!
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold. She decided to be benevolent and warn her once. ¡°Second sister, for some things, it¡¯s best if you think through them properly before taking any action.¡±
¡°Who says I haven¡¯t thought through this properly?¡± Fang Manxue looked at her in disdain. ¡°The more I think about this, the more I can¡¯t let you deceive CEO Bai.¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. ¡°Fang Manxue, where¡¯s the evidence that you speak of?¡±
Fang Manxue rushed to bring out a white mattress cover from her bag. The fabric was stained with blood.
Chapter 35: The Blood Stained Bed Cover (1)
Chapter 35: The Blood Stained Bed Cover (1)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°After their car ident, Xinxin and Bai Chenxi shared a hospital room. This mattress cover was taken from the bed that Xinxin slept on. I retrieved it after Xinxin was discharged. Furthermore, an hour after their ident, a doctor came to visit them and heard intimate noises from the room. He could hear them even through closed doors. Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi must have been busy indulging in the ¡®act¡¯!¡±
Fang Manxue spoke indignantly. At the thought that Fang Xinxin was about to be killed by the enraged Bai Qinghao, she became excited.
¡°This is your so-called evidence?¡± Bai Qinghao frowned.
Fang Manxue assumed that he was suspecting her im. ¡°CEO Bai, you have to believe me. This mattress cover is strong evidence that Fang Xinxin lost her first time to Bai Chenxi. When I took this mattress cover from the hospital ward, I even asked a nurse to act as a witness. You really can¡¯t say that I¡¯m ndering Fang Xinxin.¡±
Fang Xinxin found this all to be too hrious and was unable to respond. ¡°...¡±
But Fang Manxue assumed that she was frightened into silence. She immediately changed the direction of her words. ¡°Third sister, our family is strict when ites to discipline. How could you have done such a shameful thing!¡±
¡°Discipline?¡± Fang Xinxinughed. ¡°I think you¡¯re the one without any discipline!¡±
Fang Manxue has always maintained the appearance of a wise and virtuous girl.
¡°What do you mean by that? Do you think I¡¯m like you? You have a fianc¨¦e yet you had intimate rtions with another man in a hospital room! The entire hospital knows what you¡¯ve done.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes at Bai Qinghao. ¡°The entire hospital knows?¡±
Bai Qinghao noticed the enraged re Fang Xinxin was directing at him. His heavy and cold expression turned slightly awkward.
¡°That¡¯s not possible.¡± At the time, they had emptied the ce. ¡°Your sister is making up nonsense. There¡¯s no way the doctors, or even the people outside, know of what happened.¡±
Hearing this, Fang Xinxin rxed.
¡°I didn¡¯t make this up.¡± Fang Manxue was about to swear this on her life. ¡°CEO Bai, please believe me...¡±
¡°Which doctor can confirm that they were doing such a thing in the hospital ward?¡± Bai Qinghao demanded.
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue struggled to continue. She had fabricated the part about having a doctor overhearing it.
She had thought it would be more convenient to quote a witness, but never expected Bai Qinghao to pry too deeply into it. ¡°I don¡¯t remember his name.¡±
¡°Do you need me to bring all the doctors here for you to identify him?¡± A dangerous glint shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes.
Fang Manxue felt that things weren¡¯t looking good for her. ¡°CEO Bai, I was in the wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have exaggerated things and imed that a doctor could verify this matter. But, you really have to believe me...¡±
She shook the mattress cover she was holding. ¡°Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi really did it. This blood really is Fang Xinxin¡¯s. If you don¡¯t trust me, you can have a DNA test done! She won¡¯t be able to deny it then.¡±
¡°...I sure can¡¯t,¡± Fang Xinxin spoke with sarcasm.
¡°Look... you¡¯ve finally admitted it!¡± Fang Manxue spoke in agitation. She then turned to Bai Qinghao.
¡°CEO Bai! Fang Xinxin has admitted to doing ¡®it¡¯ with another man in the hospital room!¡±
¡°Second sister, I really don¡¯t know if you are hell-bent on embarrassing yourself, or the entire Fang family.¡± Fang Xinxin looked at her as though she was beyond hope.
Fang Manxue spoke sternly in return. ¡°You still dare to say that I¡¯m the one causing embarrassment. Look at how you¡¯ve humiliated the Fang family! I don¡¯t have a sister like you.¡±
¡°Did you think I would acknowledge having a sister like you?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly.
Fang Manxue was truly vicious. If she had actually lost her first time to Bai Chenxi, as a man with mysophobia, Bai Qinghao definitely would have killed her!

In their previous lifetime, their sibling rtionship had beenpletely exploited by Fang Manxue who kept scheming against her countlessly.
Fang Manxue waited for Bai Qinghao to lose his temper. However, his expression was frigidly cold. She could not figure out his thoughts.
Fang Xinxin had made a cuckold out of him. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to kill Fang Xinxin with a single blow?
Instead, why did he look soposed?
She scanned Fang Xinxin¡¯s fat figure and unevenplexion with a disdaining look.
The man she wanted would never desire such an ugly woman.
Could it be that, Bai Qinghao did not actually like Fang Xinxin? Thus, he was not bothered by someone else taking her innocence?
¡°CEO Bai, there¡¯s no need to help Fang Xinxin conceal this.¡± Fang Manxue said this cautiously.
¡°I know you don¡¯t want to lose your face over this, but since Fang Xinxin dared to do such a thing, she has to bear the consequences. There¡¯s also no need to worry about the Fang family¡¯s face. As her second sister, I won¡¯t acknowledge such a shameless sister!¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Bai Qinghao raised his voice fiercely. His gaze was as sharp as an arrow on a bow pulled taut.
¡°What right do you think your Fang family has to make me lose face? The one who took Fang Xinxin¡¯s first time was me!¡±
¡°Wha... what...¡± Fang Manxue took some time to react to this.
¡°The mattress cover in your hands is indeed stained with Fang Xinxin¡¯s blood. The one who took her innocence was not Bai Chenxi but me. Do you understand it now?¡± Bai Qinghao gritted his teeth and spoke clearly.
¡°There¡¯s no way... how can this be!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯splexion had turned pale from shock.
She could not ept his words to be the truth. ¡°There¡¯s no way you would touch her...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was cold and heavy, ¡°Fang Xinxin is my fiancee. I touched my own woman. What¡¯s impossible about it!¡±
His words were as certain as a nail forged deep in steel.
She spent a lot of effort to steal the mattress cover from the hospital, and had thought that she would be able to deal a devastating blow to Fang Xinxin. She never expected to end up shooting herself in the foot!
To think that Fang Xinxin, who had always been weak and insecure, would climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed!
She was enraged. Bai Qinghao was hers! Fang Manxue¡¯s! That ugly woman didn¡¯t even have the right to touch Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes.
Fang Manxue felt herself bing overwhelmed with jealousy. She suppressed her resentment and directed her anger at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Since you climbed into CEO Bai¡¯s bed... I mean, since the person you had ¡®intimate rtions¡¯ with was Bai Qinghao, why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡±
Fang Manxue felt that she was a smart person. In this lifetime, she had never lost any face. Her current circumstance was all because of this dumb woman.
¡°Haha...¡± Fang Xinxin did not conceal anything as she beganughing loudly.
¡°Fang Manxue, since you enjoy making a fool out of yourself, why should I stop you? I truly admire the way you seemed to think you were really clever.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue trembled in anger. ¡°CEO Bai, look, Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t know how to be a good sister. She... she¡¯s actually ridiculing me!¡±
This dumb, fat woman whom she had always looked down on, was actually mocking her. She found this really tough to ept!
¡°You¡¯re indeed a joke.¡± Bai Qinghao lifted one corner of his lip, cynically.
Fang Manxue watched his expression. Even though he was smiling with the intention to mock her, he still appeared unbelievably charming and cool. He was beyond sensual.
He was truly the most outstanding man to ever exist.
She forced herself to smile like a blooming flower. She did not dare to go against Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯ve made a mistake and caused a big scene, but we¡¯re all family members here. Please don¡¯t hold this against me.¡±
¡°Scram! If I wasn¡¯t taking your sister¡¯s face into ount, I wouldn¡¯t have let you off this easily!¡± Bai Qinghao had thought Fang Manxue would be showing some solid evidence of Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship with Bai Chenxi.

As a result, he had be anxious for nothing.
The biggest of issues could not move his emotions. Yet, the slightest hint that Fang Xinxin disliked him drove him insane!
Fang Manxue¡¯s scheme had failed and she was filled with envy and resentment. She felt that she was about to vomit blood in anger. ¡°CEO Bai, please don¡¯t be angry. I will leave immediately.¡±
She turned to leave the main bedroom in her high heels.
Fang Xinxin watched as Fang Manxue went away in anger. She felt invigorated.
Considering Fang Manxue¡¯s temper, she would definitely tear the Fang family¡¯s roof down when she returned home.
Bai Qinghao nced at the carpet that Fang Manxue had stepped on, in disdain. ¡°Change the carpet. In the future, don¡¯t let Fang Manxue into this bedroom again!¡±
¡°Understood,¡± the maid outside the room responded respectfully.
Fang Manxue overheard his words on her way down the stairs. She felt herself trembling in anger.
He even removed the carpet that she had stepped on?? Bai Qinghao had really humiliated her thoroughly!
Yet, the more high up in the air this man was, the more she desired him!
She deliberated over the matter. Bai Qinghao did not say he wanted the carpet to be changed because she had entered his room. Perhaps, he was simply in the mood to change the carpet?
As Fang Manxue arrived at this conclusion, her heart felt better.
In the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main bedroom, the maid quickly reced the carpet with a brand new one.
Bai Qinghao stepped on the clean fabric and felt his mood lift up.
He sat down on the bed and lifted his hand to check Fang Xinxin¡¯s forehead. ¡°There¡¯s no fever.¡±
His gaze held concern as he watched her. ¡°Are you feeling unwell anywhere?¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head and leaned back against the pillow.
Her heart was warm from the heat of his palm.
¡°You¡¯ve been asleep for quite some time since returning from the hospital. It¡¯s been a whole day.¡± He pursed his lips.
¡°I haven¡¯t slept well in a long time. I wanted to rest for longer.¡± Toward the end of her previous life, she had suffered from serious insomnia. She truly treasured the opportunity that God had given her to recover her happiness, to live again and to return to the Yu Ting Vi.
¡°As long as you¡¯re all right.¡± His tone was mild.
¡°Get up then. Let¡¯s go to the living room to eat.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded her head. ¡°You go on first. I¡¯lle down after I wash up.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qinghao stood up and left the room.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gazended on the suitcase in the corner of the room.
That was her suitcase. She had packed it right before eloping with Bai Chenxi. It contained almost all of her important documents.
Bai Qinghao must have arranged for someone to bring it here.
She was still dressed in the clothes that Bai Qinghao had ordered Liu Li to buy for her. It did not fit her well and she wanted to change into a fresh set of clothes. She opened her suitcase. There was a dress that had turned dull from washing, apart from two other sets of old clothes. They were barely worth a few dors.
The fabric was covered in lint. None of these could be worn before others. But this was all that she owned and it wasn¡¯t worth even a few cents. It was embarrassing to have to wear these.
The Fang family never bought her new clothes. Fang Manxue, on the other hand, was constantly dressed in branded goods. She always had new clothes and her allowance ran into several thousand dors.
They were both Fang family¡¯s daughters, yet they were treated so differently.
She truly could not understand her mother¡¯s thoughts.
¡°Miss Fang, Young Master asked me to take you next door for your clothes.¡± The maid, Ji Qing, respectfully gestured for her to follow.
¡°I don¡¯t have any clothes here...¡± Fang Xinxin began. She naturally understood that the maid¡¯s mention of ¡®Young Master¡¯ was referring to Bai Qinghao.
¡°Please, just follow me.¡±
Fang Xinxin followed the maid to the room next door. It was a simrly extravagant room. The walk-in closet in there was the most eye-catching furniture in that room. It was filled with women¡¯s clothes. Every piece was exquisite. The styles were unique and outstanding, and they made for a stunning sight in the closet.

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
One of the shelves disyed more than twenty pairs of new shoes.
There were heels, ts, slippers...
Everything she could possibly need.
And each pair was outstandingly beautiful.
¡°Young Master bought all of these clothes and shoes for you.¡± A hint of envy appeared in the maid¡¯s expression.
Such an ugly woman, what right did she have to own all these clothes?
Fang Xinxin noticed her face and sneered. ¡°What is it? Are you jealous?¡±
¡°I would never dare.¡± She was only a subordinate and did not dare to go out of line.
¡°It¡¯s normal for you to be envious.¡± As long as this maid did not go out of line, Fang Xinxin would leave her be. She lifted her hands and took out a few pieces to check the price tags. The clothes were all bought from expensive, luxury brands. They chalked up to several thousands of dors.
Even the cheapest of them were really expensive...
The shoes also weren¡¯t low-priced.
Bai Qinghao was really generous!
Inparison, Fang Xinxin only owned a few dors in her wallet... she was truly too poor.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s chest felt warm.
This was not because he had bought her expensive clothes and shoes, but because he was attentive enough to notice that she did not own much.
At the same time, she was slightly embarrassed.
To think she would appear this pitiful before the man she loved.
Even though she knew he would neverugh at her, her heart still felt bitter.
She needed to quickly stand on her own feet.
¡°Young Master says that in the future, this room will be used to keep your clothes and shoes.¡±
Fang Xinxin nodded and picked up a set of green leisurewear. She returned to the bathroom and quickly washed up.
As she made her way down the circr staircase, she saw that the dining table was already filled with plenty of dishes.
Bai Qinghao sat at the head of the table. He appeared to be waiting for her to start his meal.
Liu Li stood respectfully behind his seat.
One of the helpers pulled the seat across Bai Qinghao out for her. ¡°Miss Fang, please sit here.¡±
She nodded slightly and sat down. She then said with some heartache, ¡°Bai Qinghao, you don¡¯t have to buy so many clothes and shoes for me. They are all so expensive...¡±
¡°It¡¯s a small matter. There¡¯s no need to take it to heart.¡± His cold gazended on her. ¡°Aren¡¯t they good? You are looking so nice.¡±
Liu Li, who stood behind him, pursed his lips. Fang Xinxin was so ugly and fat that irrespective of what she wore, she looked ugly, alright?
But aside from Fang Xinxin, his boss truly could not tolerate any other women.
In the past, he had thought his CEO had high standards. Now... as he looked at the frightening sight Fang Xinxin made, he seriously wondered if his CEO¡¯s eyes were working.
¡°En. Thank you.¡± Fang Xinxin blushed from hispliment. Unfortunately, she had intentionally darkened her skin to avoid him in the past. Now, it was impossible to tell if she was blushing.
Bai Qinghao subconsciously began to look at Fang Xinxin gently. ¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke awkwardly. ¡°I want to lose weight. I¡¯m afraid the clothes you bought for me can¡¯t be worn for very long. It¡¯s such a waste...¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± His handsome face did not convey much emotions. ¡°I¡¯ll buy more for you when you lose weight.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need...¡± She rushed to shake her head.
¡°I said I¡¯ll buy them!¡± His gaze turned cold.
She was already his, yet she refused to ept his gifts. Could it be that she had any other thoughts?

Fang Xinxin had simply wanted to help Bai Qinghao save some money. However, she deliberated over it and realised that, with his family background, his wealth ran into billions!
It seemed like money was of no issue to him.
¡°All right.¡± She nodded.
His frigidplexion finally softened slightly, but his tone remained icy cold. ¡°Eat!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s appetite had already woken up at the sight of the feast before her. She quickly finished a bowl of rice. ¡°I¡¯m full now.¡±
Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. ¡°You ate so little. Does it not suit your taste?¡±
¡°It¡¯s really good, but I¡¯m trying to lose weight. Didn¡¯t I say so earlier?¡± She picked up the napkin on the table to wipe her lips. ¡°How can I lose weight if I eat anymore?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to rush to lose weight.¡± Bai Qinghao looked at her round figure and felt a little heartache.
I¡¯m in an extreme rush, ah. It would be best if I could lose all the extra weight right now.
Although Fang Xinxin felt this way, in order to prevent him from worrying, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. One bowl of rice is really enough. A girl¡¯s appetite is always small. There are a lot of girls who would only eat half a bowl of rice to maintain their figures. I already ate much more than that.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was suspicious.
¡°Why would I lie to you? If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Liu Li.¡± She pointed at the bodyguard.
Liu Li nodded. ¡°CEO, one bowl of rice is normal for girls. My ex-girlfriend always only had half a bowl of rice.¡± Although she was as thin as a stick.
Bai Qinghao only gave in after hearing this. However, he still reminded her. ¡°Lose weight slowly. Don¡¯t starve yourself.¡±
His concern caused Fang Xinxin to feel moved. ¡°En.¡±
She stood up and approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. Liu Li was cautious of the bag in her hands.
He still remembered the fruit knife!
Although it was two days since she first kept it in her bag, and she had yet to stab his boss, there was still the need to be cautious.
¡°Miss Fang, can you hand your bag to me temporarily?¡± Liu Li reached out to block her.
¡°No.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°All my important documents are in here.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t touch your things.¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook the bag in front of him and leaned close to his ear to whisper. ¡°Why? Are you worried about the knife that I kept inside?¡±
As she spoke, she intentionally opened her bag slightly to reveal the handle of the knife.
Liu Li watched her movements warily. ¡°Miss Fang, the Commander¡¯s patience has its limits. Please do not do anything out of line!¡±
If she dared to stab his boss, he would be the first to end her life.
Fang Xinxin decisively brought out the fruit knife and turned to Bai Qinghao in grievance. ¡°Your bodyguard won¡¯t let me near you.¡±
¡°Back down,¡± Bai Qinghaomanded.
¡°But...¡± Liu Li hesitated. He faced his Boss¡¯s unhappy gaze and could only obey.
Fang Xinxin finally approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. She returned the knife to her bag and gave Liu Li a look. ¡°Bodyguard Liu, you think too little of my intelligence. Even if I wanted to stab him, I wouldn¡¯t do it right before your eyes, no?¡±
¡°Are you really nning to stab our CEO? ¡°Liu Li¡¯s voice turned serious.
Bai Qinghao seemed to be deep in thought as he watched Fang Xinxin. His cold and handsomeplexion did not reveal any of his feelings.
¡°What do you think?¡± Fang Xinxin returned his question.
How could she possibly hurt Bai Qinghao? She simply enjoyed making Liu Li wary and frustrated.
Who asked him to call her Fattie Fang?
¡°Bai Qinghao, I wish to leave the house for some matters...¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up after hesitating for a moment.
Chapter 40: No Need To Negotiate
Chapter 40: No Need To Negotiate
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. His sharp gazended on her and seemed to see right through her.
She had only been in the Yu Ting Vi for a few days and she already wanted to leave. Did she not wish to stay by his side?
Was her obedience in the past few days fabricated?
A momentter, just as Fang Xinxin assumed that he would refuse her, he nodded slightly.
¡°Thank you!¡± She pressed a kiss on his cheek in happiness.
Thank you for not locking me up like you did in our past life.
Bai Qinghao was startled. A suspicious red glow appeared on his fair skin.
He watched as she left happily through the vi gates and could not bear to take his eyes off of her.
¡°CEO, you let her leave just like that. Aren¡¯t you afraid she will visit Bai Chenxi?¡± Liu Li spoke in concern.
¡°Bai Chenxi was injured in the car ident and should be discharged today. This subordinate is worried that Miss Fang is nning to visit him.¡±
¡°That better not be the case...¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Otherwise, she will never have the chance to take a single step out of the Yu Ting Vi again!¡±
He directed a look at Liu Li. ¡°Send someone to watch her.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
...
After leaving the vi, Fang Xinxin regretted not borrowing a car from Bai Qinghao.
However, she thought about it and decided it was better not to.
She was currently eating his food and living in his home. He also bought her a lot of clothes and shoes.
Although he owned a lot of cars and it was simple to borrow one from him, she wanted to rely on her effort to aplish some things.
After a short walk, she stood at the bus stop.
She had a few dors on her and could only afford to take the public transport.
She bought 10 eggs and carried the bag to board a bus. She alighted at an intersection.
From what she recalled, twenty minutester, the Gu Corporation¡¯s director would drive by. His car would explode at that time.
The very next day, news of his death would be on the headline.
Fang Xinxin intentionally arrived early and waited for his arrival.
As expected, fifteen minutester, a ck Mercedes-Benz drove by.
Fang Xinxin checked the car te number and confirmed that it was Gu Linyuan¡¯s car.
She brought out the eggs she had prepared and held five in each hand. She then aimed them directly at the car, smashing them against the windshield.
The smashed eggs made it impossible for the chauffeur to see ahead of him. The car was forced to a stop.
The chauffeur alighted the car angrily and shouted at Fang Xinxin. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you!¡±
Fang Xinxin paid him no heed. She approached the backseat door and knocked against the window.
The window was lowered. A well-groomed, middle-aged man was sitting inside.
Fang Xinxin recognised him as Gu Linyuan, the Gu Corporation¡¯s director who was frequently featured in interviews.
¡°You are?¡± Gu Linyuan watched her suspiciously.
¡°My identity does not matter. What¡¯s important is that you are in danger. I can save your life.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°If I¡¯m able to save your life, and this incident is unrted to me, how much will you pay me?¡±
Gu Linyuan felt that she was insane. However, seeing her serious expression, he felt it was best to be cautious.
Furthermore, during thest few days, he had been feeling distracted. His eyelids also kept twitching.
¡°How much do you need?¡± Gu Linyuan asked.
¡°150 000 USD.¡± Fang Xinxin was expressionless. ¡°There¡¯s no need to negotiate. If there¡¯s even one cent less, I won¡¯t interfere in this matter.¡±
¡°If you really save my life... My Gu Corporation is arge enterprise. 150,000 USD is not a problem,¡± Gu Linyuan responded.
¡°Deal.¡± Fang Xinxin opened the car door and grabbed his hand to run. ¡°Quickly run, someone installed a bomb on your car!¡±
Chapter 41: Saving Gu Linyuan
Chapter 41: Saving Gu Linyuan
¡°What!¡± Blood drained out of Gu Linyuan¡¯s face. He rushed out of the car to follow her.
The chauffeur was also frightened and ran away from the vehicle.
¡°Boom!¡±
A momentter, the ck Mercedes-Benz exploded with an ear-shattering noise. It was immediately engulfed in fiery mes.
Gu Linyuan and his chauffeur were stunned by the debacle in front of them.
If they had left the car even a few secondster, both of them would have perished.
The chauffeur fell onto the ground, frightened, while Gu Linyuan pressed his palm against his chest. Hisplexion was unusually pale.
¡°All right. I have upheld my end of the deal.¡± Fang Xinxin released Gu Linyuan¡¯s hand and stuffed a slip of paper into his suit pocket. ¡°My bank details are written on that piece of paper. Please transfer the money to my ount.¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to leave.
But Gu Linyuan¡¯s imploring voice stopped her. ¡°Miss, please wait a moment...¡±
She looked back at him curiously. ¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Could I trouble you to send me to the hospital...¡± Gu Linyuan spoke with much difficulty.
Fang Xinxin scanned his ashen face and saw that he was clearly feeling unwell.
She then nced at the Gu family¡¯s chauffeur. A wet patch had formed on the man¡¯s pants. There was no way he could take care of anyone in his frightened state.
Fang Xinxin said, ¡°Director Gu, I think you¡¯re suffering from chronic stomach ailments. Do you have your medication with you? If so, please take it now.¡±
Gu Linyuan nced at her in astonishment. ¡°How did you know that? Did you investigate me prior to this?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± Fang Xinxin did not respond to his question. ¡°I¡¯ve studied a bit of medicine.¡±
In her previous life, her lower body had been paralysed and her vision was damaged. The long period of illness gave her an opportunity to study. She had read a lot of medical books prior to losing her sight and managed to build a good foundation in medicine.
¡°Oh.¡±
Gu Linyuan nodded and said, ¡°I do have gastric problems, but I don¡¯t have my medication with me currently.¡±
¡°Sigh! I suppose I¡¯ll be a good samaritan and send you to the hospital.¡± Fang Xinxin first took some photos and videos of the burning car from various angles. These images could be very profitable.
Right now, she was incredibly poor...
She needed to grab hold of every opportunity to earn money.
A blue car approached them. Fang Xinxin waved her hand and it came to a stop by her side.
¡°Hello, are you Miss Fang Xinxin?¡± the driver asked.
Fang Xinxin nodded.
She had booked this car earlier through the inte.
They were in the outskirts of the city. It was extremely difficult to find a cab here.
The driver nced at the damaged car and asked her in astonishment. ¡°What happened over there? Why is that car burning?¡±
Fang Xinxin supported Gu Linyuan into the car and answered lightly. ¡°That car blew up on its own. The owner is right here. He suffered a fright and needs to get to the hospital immediately.¡±
She couldn¡¯t possibly say to him that someone had nted a bomb in Director Gu¡¯s car.
Otherwise, if this news was leaked, the people in the Gu Group would surely be affected. Thepany¡¯s stocks would also fall drastically.
¡°All right, I will drive you there immediately.¡± The driver was flustered and started the engine.
Upon reaching the hospital, Fang Xinxin gave him a small tip for his services.
She then helped Gu Linyuan with the admission process in the hospital. Of course, she did not offer to pay for his fees.
Her current expenses...
She had already spent a dor eighty on the eggs, and another three dors on the car ride.
She then visited a shop near the hospital and bought seventeen lottery tickets. After which, she only had thirty cents left.
Chapter 42: An Apple With Love (1)
Chapter 42: An Apple With Love (1)
In her previous life, she did not like buying lottery tickets. She believed that it was impossible to win these things.
However, she remembered seeing the lottery results the day after Gu Linyuan had passed away.
She had a photographic memory and could clearly recall the winning number. A single ticket would win her eight hundred thousand dors. She bought a total of seventeen tickets.
In other words, the six dors eighty cents she just spent on the tickets would be more than thirteen million dors tomorrow.
She kept the tickets securely and took her remaining money to the supermarket nearby. She asked the attendant ufortably. ¡°Are there any fruits I can buy with thirty cents? Anything will do.¡±
She had wanted to spend all of her money on the tickets, but a single ticket cost forty cents and hence she was left with this change.
The employee at the counter responded kindly. ¡°Thirty cents... is that all you have?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°I see. How about an apple? Though cheap, they are quite big and fresh. They usually cost a dor fifty but are on sale today.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Fang Xinxin paid and received the apple.
Her pocket was truly empty now.
She held the apple and lifted her head towards the sky. She muttered softly to herself. ¡°Soon, there will be milk and bread!¡±
Fang Xinxin returned to the hospital with the apple in her hand but failed to see Fang Manxue standing hidden behind a corner a few steps away.
Fang Manxue had been on her way back from the toilet when she saw Fang Xinxin. She did not know that Fang Xinxin had sent Gu Linyuan to the hospital earlier and was making a second trip back.
Bai Chenxi was being discharged today. Fang Manxue had thought about Fang Xinxin¡¯s affection for Bai Chenxi and believed that she would surelye here to take him home.
Thus, she had especially waited and as expected, Fang Xinxin was here!
She brought her phone out and took a photo of Fang Xinxin¡¯s back view.
She immediately sent the photo to Bai Qinghao, apanied with these words: [CEO Bai, Bai Chenxi is being discharged today. I was strolling along the streets when I coincidentally saw Fang Xinxin entering the hospital...]
After sending the message, she approached the supermarket which Fang Xinxin hade out from. She brought out two hundred dors and spoke politely to the employee at the counter. ¡°This is for you. Earlier, what did that long-haired, e-covered, fat woman buy here?¡±
The employee epted the money and responded with a smile. ¡°You mean the chubbydy dressed in sportswear? She spent thirty cents on an apple.¡±
¡°Only thirty cents?¡± Fang Manxue asked her in confusion.
¡°Thedy said that it was all she had.¡±
¡°She has always been poor. How could there ever be aparison between us?¡± Fang Manxue sneered.
¡°You do appear to be much more well off than her,¡± the counterdy chimed in politely. After all, she had taken her money.
¡°What do you mean by ¡®appear¡¯? I am the youngdy of the Fang Group, while she¡¯s just a beggar on the streets!¡± Fang Manxue lifted her chin and walked away arrogantly.
The counterdy nced at her receding back in disdain. Who was this person? There was something wrong with her head.
Fang Manxue deliberated over the information she had obtained and wrote another message to Bai Qinghao.
Chapter 43: An Apple With Love (2)
Chapter 43: An Apple With Love (2)
[CEO Bai, Xinxin spent herst thirty cents to buy you an apple full of love. You can¡¯t look down on her gift.]
After keeping her phone away, she smiled mockingly.
It sure wasn¡¯t easy to betray Fang Xinxin whilst maintaining the image of a good sister.
She naturally could not use any words to insult or scold Fang Xinxin since this would surely attract Bai Qinghao¡¯s dislike.
The apple Fang Xinxin bought was definitely meant for Bai Chenxi. She wondered how Bai Qinghao would feel when he found out that the apple was given to another man.
Furthermore, the apple only cost thirty cents. How cheap of her!
She was subtly implying that Fang Xinxin was a poor, low-ss woman.
Now, all she needed to do was to wait and watch a good show!
...
Right then, Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes swept past the side of the hospital entrance and she noticed Fang Manxue¡¯s lurking figure. A hint of mockery shed in her eyes.
In her previous life, she had been locked up in the Yu Ting Vi the day Bai Chenxi was discharged. She had used all her might to escape from the vi ande pick him up.
This was because Bai Chenxi had sent her a message saying that he missed her.
She had believed him and thought that he wanted her by his side during this difficult moment.
In the end, Fang Manxue had anticipated her thoughts and secretly informed Bai Qinghao about it.
Bai Qinghao had smashed open the hospital room to see her and Bai Chenxi embracing. Recalling his heartbroken expression and his paleplexion at the time...
Unfortunately, she had been indifferent to his plight, and even stupidly begged Bai Qinghao to allow her and Bai Chenxi to be together.
However, Bai Chenxi at that time had dered that he only saw her as his sister-inw and coldly thanked her foring to pick him up...
Afterward, she was forcefully brought back to the Yu Ting Vi and was locked in the guest bedroom. She wasn¡¯t allowed to take even a single step out ever!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart injury also worsened post that.
Coming out of her reverie, Fang Xinxin brought out her phone. As expected, there was a message from Bai Chenxi saying that he was being discharged today, and wanted her to visit him.
In her previous life, this message had moved her greatly. However, right now, she only felt repulsed.
Fang Xinxin held the apple in her hand as she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.
Fang Manxue was a diligent person. She followed Fang Xinxin persistently and only stopped when she saw that lift carrying Fang Xinxin stopped on the third floor.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s room was on this floor. Vo!
At the Yu Ting Vi, Bai Qinghao nced at the second message from Fang Manxue.
He stood on the balcony, staring coldly in the direction of the hospital.
A bodyguard dressed in a cksuit came there to report to him. ¡°Boss, the person following Miss Fang Xinxin... has lost sight of her.¡±
¡°Useless!¡±
¡°Apologies! I will immediately send someone to go look for her...¡±
¡°No need. Fang Xinxin is at XX Hospital.¡± Bai Qinghao clenched his fist tightly. His expression was dark and menacing. ¡°We¡¯re going there immediately!¡±
...
Fang Xinxin walked down the long hallway and knocked on one of the doors before entering.
Inside the hospital room, Gu Group¡¯s director, Gu Linyuan and his chauffeurid on separate beds. IV drips hung by their bedsides.
Originally, she wanted to ce them in separate rooms. However, Gu Linyuan asked for otherwise.
The chauffeur, Gu Guangqing, had worked for him for decades now. The two of them were good friends and had nearly died together. This incident only deepened their friendship further.
¡°Miss Fang, we¡¯ve really troubled you. You had to make multiple trips toplete our hospital admission.¡± Gu Linyuan said humbly.
Chapter 44: State Your Price
Chapter 44: State Your Price
Prior topleting their hospital admission procedure, Fang Xinxin had informed him of her identity. ¡°Director Gu, there¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me.¡±
She lifted the apple in her hand. ¡°I could only bring this along while visiting you. To be honest, I¡¯ve invested all my money currently and don¡¯t have any spare cash. I didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for myself by borrowing from anyone. I hope the two of you won¡¯tugh at me.¡±
She would never tell him that she was poor.
The chauffeur, Gu Guanqing, was moved by her gesture. ¡°To think that Miss Fang thought about a driver like me. You¡¯re not someone who respects the rich and steps on the poor. Your sincerity alone is more than sufficient for me. Please give the apple to the director.¡±
She smiled. ¡°After so many years of friendship, I¡¯m sure he would much prefer to share the apple with you.¡±
Gu Linyuan watched Fang Xinxin, his eyes bright with admiration. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±
He nced at his IV drip. ¡°Miss Fang, although your gift is light, your heartfelt sentiments are more than enough. Since it¡¯s inconvenient for us with this IV drip, could I trouble you to wash the apple?¡±
His words indicated that he was epting Fang Xinxin¡¯s sincerity.
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Xinxin opened her bag and retrieved the fruit knife. She entered the bathroom and washed the apple and the knife. She came back and peeled the apple before cutting it in half. She handed one half to each of the men.
Crunch, crunch...
The two of them really took the apple and ate it.
As Fang Xinxin watched the two men who were already in the second half of their lives, she could not help but feel some sympathy for them.
Gu Linyuan noticed her kind gaze and asked her with a smile. ¡°Miss Fang is a giant among people. Your investment surely isn¡¯t small. I¡¯m sure your difficulties will only be temporary.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± I invested a grand sum of thirty four dors.
¡°I will transfer the money as soon as possible to you, as promised.¡± Gu Linyuan looked at her searchingly.
He felt that this young woman was very mysterious, but she did not seem to hold any ill-intentions toward him. ¡°Miss Fang, you asked both of us to remove the batteries from our phones. Could it be that the person who tampered with my car is someone close to me?¡±
Fang Xinxin was expressionless. Trying to get information out of her wasn¡¯t an easy feat.
Gu Linyuan¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°I¡¯m sure that news of my ident has already spread. If they are after my life, it¡¯ll be much easier for me to find them after they have let their guards down. You¡¯re trying to help me, right?¡±
His tone was certain.
Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°After interacting with Director Gu for a bit, I feel that your character is good. I wanted to make life a little convenient for you. Take it as a greeting gift from me.¡±
¡°This greeting gift is invaluable.¡± It wasn¡¯t as simple as the sincerity of the apple. Gu Linyuan looked at her knowingly. ¡°You seem to know more about this.¡±
¡°Not bad.¡± Fang Xinxin did not deny this.
¡°Right now, I¡¯m sure Director Gu is most interested in the identity of the person pursuing your life. You have two choices. First, you can use your wealth, human resources, energy and abilities... and conduct all sorts of investigation. Of course, this will be a costly task. Second, you can take the easy route and buy the information from me. Of course, this will also be a costly deal.¡±
Gu Linyuan smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯ve been in the business world for more than half of my life and have offended countless people. Too many of them are after my life. It is indeed difficult for this old fox to investigate this matter.¡±
He looked at her seriously. ¡°Since Miss Fang already has the information, why don¡¯t I directly buy it from you. Please state your price.¡±
Chapter 45: Extra Money
Chapter 45: Extra Money
¡°300,000 USD.¡±
Gu Linyuan had barely managed to escape unscathed today. If it wasn¡¯t for the girl in front of him, he would already be dead.
For him, money was not a concern. ¡°No problem.¡±
Gu Linyuan waited for her to speak, yet she did not.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
As an experienced man, Gu Linyuan quickly reacted. ¡°Miss Fang, are you afraid that I will go back on my words?¡±
His gaze was somewhat unhappy. ¡°This Gu one will never do so. You will receive the money which I have promised you, without even a single cent missing. Right now, my phone is turned off and it¡¯s not convenient for me to turn it on. Otherwise, I would already have transferred it to you.¡±
Fang Xinxin was unaffected. ¡°I naturally believe in Director Gu¡¯s promise. However, I have my own principles. If someone has paid after owing a debt, it is naturally alright to lend them more. But your previous debt of 150,000 USD hasn¡¯t been paid yet. I hope you can understand. Everyone has their own difficulties, and I too am currently facing financial difficulties. I believe that your private ount should have some money. Since your phone cannot be used at the moment, you can use mine to ess your inte banking.¡±
After all, he owed her several hundreds of thousands.
No matter how powerful he was, or how influential his family background was, it was better to be firm when asking for payment.
This time, Gu Linyuan was the one to fall silent.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°You are also guarding against me. Are you afraid that I¡¯ll hack into your bank ount?¡±
Gu Linyuan admitted it indirectly. ¡°I ask for Miss Fang¡¯s understanding.¡±
¡°This is easy to resolve.¡± Fang Xinxin was unaffected as she responded. ¡°Take your sim card out of your phone and connect your phone to the hospital¡¯s inte to transfer the money.¡± This way, he wouldn¡¯t need to use his phone card.
¡°The inte connection here isn¡¯t secure.¡± Gu Linyuan studied her profile intently. ¡°Give me your phone. I¡¯ll transfer it through yours.¡±
¡°Huh? Weren¡¯t you afraid a moment ago that I would hack your ount?¡±
¡°I, Gu Linyuan, have never judged a person wrongly in my life.¡±
Fang Xinxin handed her phone over to him. Indeed, her phone was clean.
He brought out the slip of paper that she had handed to him earlier. After confirming the details, he transferred the money over.
He then exited from his ount and returned the phone to her. ¡°Done.¡±
Fang Xinxin took the phone back and checked her ount bnce.
There were four zeroes behind the ¡®forty five.¡¯
450,000 USD!
F*ck!
Gu Linyuan had misunderstood her. He thought that the new information would cost 300,000 USD. After adding up the previously owed sum, it naturally became 450,000 USD.
However, what she actually meant was that everything together would be 300,000 USD.
Nheless.
What a great misunderstanding this was!
Naturally, she would not fuss about the extra money.
She had suddenly transformed from a poor woman to a rich one. Even in her previous life, Fang Xinxin had never seen this much money. At this moment, she was ted.
However, on the surface, she appeared unaffected. Her eyes did not twitch even momentarily. ¡°You handed the money over so easily. Aren¡¯t you afraid that the information won¡¯t be worth it?¡±
Gu Linyuan understood that she was only testing the waters and did not get angry. ¡°Miss Fang. No one can afford the cost of tricking me.¡±
There was not the slightest hint of joy on the youngdy¡¯s expression despite the money she had just received. It was clear that this small sum meant nothing to her.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have the spare time to trick you. In fact, I enjoy working with confident people like you the most.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted toward the chauffeur, who had been silent the whole time. ¡°Do you need him to leave the room at this moment?¡±
Chapter 46: You Are Lying!
Chapter 46: You Are Lying!
¡°He has worked with me for more than half of my life. He is trustworthy.¡±
¡°In that case, I will speak bluntly.¡± Fang Xinxin did not hesitate any further.
¡°Your Gu Group¡¯s Deputy Manager, Wang Yihai, is young and talented. Moreover, he is aplished and ambitious. Your wife, Feng Yuwen, is younger than you by twenty years. She has trouble coping with her lonely lifestyle and is having a torrent affair with him. They are working together to end your life.¡±
¡°Feng Yuwen knows that you are preparing your will and are nning to hand over your entirepany to your only son, Gu Xun from your previous marriage. Thus, she is working with Wang Yihai to end your life before your will can be established. After you pass away... byw, Feng Yuwen will be able to inherit fifty percent of your inheritance. Considering that your inheritance amounts to billions, fifty percent is quite a sizable chunk. The one hundred and fifty million you had nned to give her clearly isn¡¯t enough to satisfy her appetite.¡±
In her previous life, after Gu Linyuan¡¯s death, his only son, Gu Xun, had spent a significant amount of effort to investigate and expose these details.
After which, he had also exposed photos of photos of their affair.
It was indeed advantageous to know about the future.
Gu Linyuan¡¯splexion had turned pale again. His face was filled with disbelief. ¡°No... There¡¯s no way! Yuwen loves me sincerely, there¡¯s no way she would do such a thing!¡±
¡°I understand that this is difficult to ept...¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying to me, you¡¯re lying!¡± Director Gu, who was in his fifties, suddenly appeared to be flustered.
But Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Given that you spent such a significant amount to purchase this information from me, I naturally wouldn¡¯t lie to you. Gu Xun has photos of Feng Yuwen¡¯s affair with Wang Yihai. If you don¡¯t believe me, feel free to go ask your son.¡±
¡°How do you know this so well?¡± Gu Linyuan asked, ¡°Do you know my son?¡±
¡°I naturally have my own sources. I do not know your son personally. In any case, I¡¯ve said all that I needed to say.¡± Fang Xinxin paused to consider the time that had passed. ¡°My friend should being here to look for me soon. He may have misunderstood some things. May I trouble Mr. Gu to vouch for me? I came here to visit you, and not to meet any other troublemaker.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± In fact, Gu Linyuan still had a lot of questions to ask her.
For example, how did she know of the will that he was nning to write? He had only mentioned this to his wife and his son.
Could it be that one of them had shared the information with someone?
Considering his son¡¯s personality, he knew that there was no way he would mention it to outsiders.
Was it Feng Yuwen then? Did she share it with Wang Yihai, who let the news spread further?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
At the thought of his wife¡¯s betrayal, Gu Linyuan felt his body tremble with anger.
¡°It¡¯s not convenient for you to leave from here right now.¡± Fang Xinxin handed her phone to Gu Linyuan.
¡°You can give your son a call. Let him arrange for someone toe here and protect you. You should also spread the false news of your death to force Feng Yuwen and Wang Yihai to reveal their true colours. Arrange for surveince cameras to be installed in Feng Yuwen¡¯s room and wait for Wang Yihai to seek her out. This arrogant and adulterous couple will definitely fall in your trap. By then, you will have all the answers you seek.¡±
Gu Linyuan made a call to Gu Xun from her phone.
As she had imed, Gu Xun actually did possess photos of their affair. However, he had only just received them from a private investigator and hence, did not manage to show them to his father yet.
It was very likely that, without this young girl¡¯s interference, he would have passed away without ever knowing the truth.
Chapter 47: Owe Me A Chance
Chapter 47: Owe Me A Chance
Gu Linyuan passed on Fang Xinxin¡¯s exact instructions to his son. He then returned the phone to her and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you for your help.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve epted your payment. This is what I should be doing.¡± Fang Xinxin ced her phone in her pocket.
At this moment, a chorus of hurried and firm footsteps could be heard in the hallway. With a loud noise, the hospital door next to theirs was kicked open.
Fang Xinxin stood up and approached the corridor. She saw that Liu Li was standing outside the room adjacent to theirs.
Fang Manxue¡¯s voice could be heard from inside the room. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Fang Xinxin here? Is she hiding in the toilet? I¡¯m going to go look for her!¡±
¡°Where is she?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and sombre voice could also be heard.
¡°CEO Bai, who are you looking for?¡± Bai Chenxi asked politely.
Fang Manxue responded with a smirk. ¡°Who else could it be? Of course we¡¯re looking for Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin didn¡¯te by...¡± Bai Chenxi tried to exin.
Fang Manxue immediately cut him off. ¡°Bai Chenxi, don¡¯t bother lying on Fang Xinxin¡¯s behalf. You¡¯re being discharged today. My third sister is in love with you to the point of obsession. How could she possibly note to pick you up? Besides, I clearly watched as she took the elevator toe up to the third floor. She¡¯s been here for a long time. I waited downstairs but she never came back down.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold voice barely concealed his anger. ¡°Fang Manxue, who told you that Fang Xinxin is in love with Bai Chenxi to the point of obsession?¡±
¡°Of course it was Fang Xinxin herself...¡± Fang Manxue spoke naturally as though that was to be expected.
¡°Oh?¡± Fang Xinxin approached Bai Chenxi¡¯s hospital room.
In a calm voice, she said, ¡°Second Sister, why don¡¯t I ever recall telling you that? Each time you open your mouth, you¡¯re full of nonsense. Did you eat shit on your way here? Why does your mouth stink so much?¡±
Hearing this, Fang Manxue¡¯s face contorted with anger. She wanted to refute her but paused. Instead, she pointed at Fang Xinxin in excitement. ¡°CEO Bai, look, she¡¯s here! I didn¡¯t lie to you.¡±
Bai Chenxi was fully convinced that Fang Xinxin woulde, but still pretended to be surprised. ¡°Fang... Xinxin, you shouldn¡¯t havee.¡±
Hearing his words, one would naturally assume she was here for him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened. He gritted his teeth. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you let me down like this?¡±
¡°When have I ever let you down?¡± Fang Xinxin also started to look angry.
¡°How do you have the face to ask such a thing?¡± Fang Manxue immediately began reprimanding her. ¡°Third Sister, CEO Bai treats you so well. How could you meet up with Bai Chenxi behind his back!¡±
Fang Xinxin entered the room and delivered a firm p to Fang Manxue¡¯s face.
¡°Pa!¡±
The p resounded loudly in the room.
¡°Ah! You actually dared to hit me.¡± Fang Manxue held her cheek as she red harshly at Fang Xinxin. She almost charged ahead to beat her up. However, her gaze flickered toward Bai Qinghao and she changed her mind.
Instead, she began crying in an aggrieved manner. ¡°CEO Bai, Xinxin is always like this. She¡¯s barbaric and unreasonable. Even though I¡¯m her older sister, she is always bullying me. I didn¡¯t want to y the role of a bad guy here, but I really could not stand watching her betray you...¡±
Liu Li could not watch this any further. He spoke up on behalf of Fang Manxue as well. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin is really too much!¡±
Fang Xinxin had long seen through her sister¡¯s true nature and waspletely unaffected by her reprimands.
She turned towards Bai Qinghao. ¡°You! You owe me a chance to exin my side of the story.¡±
It seemed that both of them still had a long road ahead of them.
Although there had never been any trust between them, with time, they could change this.
In her previous life, she had been blinded and paralysed. Yet, Bai Qinghao remained devoted to her and even sacrificed his life for her.
Hence, in this life, she would not give up on him.
However, she would be disappointed if he won¡¯t even offer her an opportunity to exin herself.
Chapter 48: Coincidence
Chapter 48: Coincidence
¡°CEO Bai, don¡¯t listen to her! There¡¯s no way she was simply passing by. She¡¯s just trying to argue her way out of this.¡± Fang Manxue spoke up urgently.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was frighteningly dark. Even a blind man could sense the rage emitting from his body.
The cold aura enveloping him seemed to affect the temperature in the room.
Aside from Fang Xinxin, everyone was trembling.
It was truly difficult for Bai Qinghao to trust Fang Xinxin, given her past mistakes. However, as he looked into her serene gaze, he could not help but open his heart up to her once more. ¡°Speak.¡±
Fang Xinxin was relieved. ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed that I¡¯m standing at the entrance?¡±
¡°You must have known that themander was on his way here. You left the room intentionally to hide...¡± Fang Manxue butted in again but was quickly forced into silence by Bai Qinghao¡¯s enragedmand. ¡°Shut up!¡±
Fang Manxue closed her mouth unhappily.
Fang Xinxin did not falter and continued with her narrative. ¡°I came here to visit my friend who is next door, not to see Bai Chenxi. In fact, I only walked in here because I noticed themotion and heard Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice. In fact, I am here to see Bai Qinghao. I wouldn¡¯t have bothered if someone else had barged into Bai Chenxi¡¯s room.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t trust her words.¡± Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly.
¡°She is a skilled liar. How could there be such a coincidence that her friend would be admitted to this hospital and be assigned a room right next door.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you cane over to speak to my friend.¡±
¡°A friend? You must have paid someone you found on the street to be yourst-minute backup. Are you trying to fool us to get your way out of this?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not as crafty as you are.¡± Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°Besides, considering my friend¡¯s status, he would never be moved by money.¡±
¡°Tsk... how could there possibly be someone who wouldn¡¯t be moved by money!¡± Fang Manxue wanted to continue arguing but was interrupted by Fang Xinxin.
¡°CEO Bai, I was the one who admitted my friend into the hospital. The nurses at the counter don¡¯t know that I¡¯m familiar with Bai Chenxi. They also don¡¯t know me personally. The room was assigned randomly. It is as she said, a coincidence! We were randomly assigned the ward adjoining Bai Chenxi¡¯s room.¡±
¡°Haha, what a joke!¡± Fang Manxueughed. ¡°There are so many hospitals in the city. Why did you choose toe to this hospital? Was that also a coincidence?¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not a coincidence...¡±
¡°Then...¡± Fang Manxue kept wanting to trap Fang Xinxin with her words, but Fang Xinxin would not grant her the opportunity.
¡°My friend met with an ident today. This hospital was the closest. It was a matter of life and death. I couldn¡¯t stop to think about alternative hospital options at that time. Everything I just said is the truth.¡±
She nced at Bai Chenxi expressionlessly. ¡°I didn¡¯te to pick Bai Chenxi up. I didn¡¯t even n toe visit him. I¡¯ve been busy helping my friend all day, In fact, I didn¡¯t even remember that he was here. Since leaving the Yu Ting Vi, I haven¡¯t taken a single step into this hospital room. If you don¡¯t trust me, you can check the surveince cameras or talk to my friends.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, don¡¯t be fooled by Fang Xinxin¡¯s story!¡± Fang Manxue was flustered now.
¡°I¡¯m well aware of all the friends she has. Aside from Bai Chenxi¡¯s young sister, who is slightly noteworthy, none of them are worth taking a second look at. She rarely even interacts with them. Moreover, you belong to a much higher status. There¡¯s no need for you to go visit thest-minute actor she has hired.¡±
Chapter 49: Change In Strategy
Chapter 49: Change In Strategy
She nced at the apple peels in the trash bin in the room and continued to provoke Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, look... Fang Xinxin bought a reallyrge apple earlier. I thought she had bought that apple for you, but...¡±
She put on an upset expression. ¡°It turns out that I thought wrongly. She actually bought the apple for Bai Chenxi. Third Sister, how could you do this?¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, were you stalking me?¡± Fang Xinxin pretended to be upset.
Fang Manxue denied her usation. ¡°What do you mean by stalking? Following someone is such a despicable act, I would never do such a thing. You¡¯ve been troubling CEO Bai in the Yu Ting Vi for so many days. Mom was the one who sent me here to take you home.¡±
¡°You came to the hospital to take me home?¡±
¡°I went to the Yu Ting Vi to look for you but you weren¡¯t there.¡± Fang Manxue looked at Fang Xinxin as though she was disappointed in her. ¡°Where else could you possibly be? I knew you must havee to visit your beloved Bai Chenxi. I gave him a call and found out that he was being discharged today. I guessed that you would be here, and on my way, I coincidentally saw you buying the apple.¡±
¡°You sure ¡®know¡¯ me well.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered mockingly.
¡°Now there¡¯s finally no way for you to lie your way out of this, right?¡± Fang Manxue spoke forcefully. ¡°You even gave the apple to Bai Chenxi. Don¡¯t you dare say that I wronged you again!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯splexion was grey with anger now. He clenched his fists tightly and his knuckles cracked ominously.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop by several more degrees. It felt as though the area would be covered by frost any second.
Bai Chenxi was uninterested in the truth. His ultimate goal was to deliver a blow to Bai Qinghao.
Only Fang Xinxin, this fat and ugly woman, could force Bai Qinghao to lose his rationality. She was the only one who could worsen his previous injuries.
Fang Xinxin grimaced looking at Bai Qinghao¡¯s poorplexion. She knew that if this argument continued any longer, his old heart injury would get exacerbated.
She took the initiative to approach his side, reaching out to hold his wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to Fang Manxue¡¯s nonsense. I don¡¯t love Bai Chenxi. I¡¯ve never loved him.¡±
His back stiffened. As he felt the warmth of her touch, his tense expression rxed slightly.
¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re just afraid of how CEO Bai will deal with you. Quit trying to get yourself out of this.¡± Fang Manxue sneered. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that you¡¯re frightened to death. After all, no one can endure the might of CEO Bai¡¯s wrath.¡±
Fang Xinxin had always had a crush on Bai Chenxi.
Bai Chenxi knew her better than anyone. He did not trust her nonsense about never once loving him. ¡°Miss Manxue, Fang Xinxin is easily frightened. Why do you insist on exposing her?¡±
¡°Bai Chenxi, why don¡¯t you speak for yourself. There are apple peels in the bin. The apple that you ate, did I buy it for you?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly.
¡°This...¡± Bai Chenxi originally wanted to say yes. How else was he supposed to deliver another blow to Bai Qinghao?
However, he recalled that there were surveince cameras in the hospital. ¡°No, I bought it myself.¡±
Fang Manxue nearly screamed in anger. ¡°Bai Chenxi, what is wrong with you? Even if you wish to protect Xinxin, you can¡¯t lie like this. Xinxin clearly bought that apple for you!¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, have you gone mad from the desire to frame me?¡± Fang Xinxin ridiculed.
¡°Apple is amonly avable fruit. Almost everyone has eaten one before. You insist that the apple peel came from the one that I bought. Yes, I did buy an apple today, but it was meant for my friend next door and he has already eaten it!¡±
Fang Manxue also thought about the surveince cameras in the hospital. Since Bai Chenxi said that Fang Xinxin did not buy it, there was a chance that it was the truth. Thus, she quickly changed her strategy. ¡°Is your friend a man or a woman?¡±
Chapter 50: Fang Family’s Third Young Lady
Chapter 50: Fang Family¡¯s Third Young Lady
¡°A man.¡±
¡°Earlier you mentioned that you helped him with his hospital admission. You then bought him an apple. Fang Xinxin, your rtionship with that man seems suspicious.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, are you an idiot?¡± Fang Xinxin chuckled. ¡°Earlier, you said that my friend was an actor. Why are you changing your words now?¡±
She turned towards Bai Qinghao. ¡°My second sister is mentally ill. In order to ruin me, she is capable of saying all sorts of crazy things. Don¡¯t mind her. There are two patients in the room next door. They each had half of the apple I bought. Furthermore, I only got to know them today.¡±
¡°Making them share an apple, to think you would do such a thing...¡± Fang Manxue wanted to continue painting a poor image of her.
However, Fang Xinxin did not allow her to continue. ¡°I didn¡¯t have much money on me. One apple was all I could afford.¡±
¡°You sure are poor!¡± Fang Manxue mocked.
Fang Xinxin responded with disdain. ¡°Indeed. I¡¯m the Fang family¡¯s daughter yet I¡¯ve never received a single cent from my own mother. I even had to work to pay for my own school fees. The title of the Fang Family¡¯s Third Young Lady is but an empty one. Even I find myself to be pitiful.¡±
The Fang family originally owned a middle-ss enterprise. In the past few years, they were able to rise to be more influential because they ¡®received¡¯ a lot of projects from Bai Qinghao.
Without Bai Qinghao, there was no way that the Fang Group could maintain its current glory.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao only assisted them because Fang Xinxin was his fianc¨¦e.
If he found out about the treatment she received in the Fang home, they would definitely lose his support.
Fang Manxue only wanted to berate her for her status. She never expected Fang Xinxin to admit it. Moreover, she even mentioned that she never received any money from their mother, and had to work for her own school fees.
All these years, Bai Qinghao had only taken care of the Fang Group because he gave Fang Xinxin face.
Now that the truth was out, wouldn¡¯t Bai Qinghao be angry?
As expected, Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze sharpened into narrow slits. ¡°The Fang family didn¡¯t pay for Fang Xinxin¡¯s school fees? Not even a single cent?¡±
Fang Manxue was flustered. ¡°CEO Bai, let me exin...¡±
Bai Qinghao brought his phone out and dialed a number. ¡°Cease all the projects with the Fang family right now.¡±
¡°Understood,¡± the response from the other end was spoken respectfully.
¡°No, CEO Bai... you can¡¯t do this!¡± Fang Manxue rushed to speak up.
Her mother had just obtained a contract worth eighty million dors from the Sheng Shi Group under Bai Qinghao¡¯s name. They nned to sign the contract soon.
If they lost this contract, the Fang Group would not only suffer serious losses but also experience significant difficulties in their cash flow.
¡°Oh, I can¡¯t?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes.
¡°No... no.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s forehead was covered in cold sweat. ¡°There¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t do. I mean... please don¡¯t end your cooperation with the Fang Group. We really need your support...¡±
Her elder brother was but an adopted bastard, while her third sister was Fang Xinxin...
Fang Manxue was the only person eligible to inherit the Fang Group¡¯s wealth.
Any loss suffered by the Fang group was equivalent to her own personal loss.
Furthermore, if her mother learned that she had caused this trouble, she would definitely be angry at her.
¡°Crazy woman. Toss her out!¡± Bai Qinghao did not wish to listen to her any longer. From his expression, it was clear he had lost all his trust in Fang Manxue.
¡°Understood.¡± Liu Li immediately held Fang Manxue¡¯s elbows and dragged her away.
¡°Let go of me!¡± Fang Manxue expression¡¯s was poor. ¡°I¡¯ll walk on my own!¡±
Chapter 51: Suffer A Loss
Chapter 51: Suffer A Loss
Liu Li ignored her and pushed her onto the hallway floor.
Fang Xinxin said to Bai Qinghao, ¡°My friends definitely aren¡¯t paid actors. You¡¯ll know once you see them.¡±
¡°If they are your friends, I don¡¯t mind meeting them.¡± Bai Qinghao nodded slightly.
Fang Xinxin was a little moved.
It wasn¡¯t easy to obtain a meeting with Bai Qinghao. He was giving her a lot of face by agreeing to do so. She followed him into the hospital room next door.
Bai Chenxi noticed that Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze did not turn toward him even once all this time. He furrowed his brows somewhat unhappily.
In the past, this fat and ugly woman used to dere time and time again that she liked him.
Why was she ignoring him now?
She had to be doing it on purpose, in hopes of gaining his affection in the long run.
Fang Manxue lingered in the hallway, staring at the hospital door next to Bai Chenxi¡¯s. Several minutester, Bai Qinghao came out with Fang Xinxin. ¡°CEO Bai, you really cannot trust Fang Xinxin¡¯s so-called friends. They have definitely been bought by her to fool you. She came here to visit Bai Chenxi!¡±
¡°Do you think I¡¯m so easy to trick?¡± Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. ¡°I¡¯ve met the person. There¡¯s no way he could have been bribed to act on Xinxin¡¯s behalf. Moreover, Fang Xinxin didn¡¯te here to visit Bai Chenxi. Are you trying to make the Fang Group go bankrupt with your actions?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue immediately covered her mouth and fell silent.
Bai Qinghao was a decisive man, and he always acted on his thoughts without any hesitation. He wasn¡¯t one to go back on his words.
With his power and status, a simple shift of his feet could cause an earthquake in the stock market.
Destroying the Fang Group wasn¡¯t a difficult task for him.
Her clumsy actions had already cost the Fang Group to suffer a loss of eighty million dors. She could not afford to cause any more trouble.
Fang Manxue red at Fang Xinxin, as though to say, ¡®You won¡¯t be so lucky next time.¡¯ But she didn¡¯t speak up any further and stood on the side unhappily.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin left the ce with Liu Li following behind.
Both Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi were curious about the identity of Fang Xinxin¡¯s friend. To think that even Bai Qinghao would say that the person couldn¡¯t be bought over.
However, before they could enter the room, two bodyguards dressed in ck quickly reached there. They positioned themselves in front of the door and said, ¡°As per the boss¡¯s order, busybodies are not allowed to enter without permission.¡±
Fang Manxue spoke up with an arrogant expression. ¡°How do I count as a busybody? I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e...¡±
Bai Chenxi smiled mockingly at Fang Manxue. She sure was shameless.
But Fang Manxue did not feel guilty looking at his sneer. After all, most people believed that she was the Bai family¡¯s futuredy. Only ghosts knew that Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e was Fang Xinxin.
¡°If you wish to visit, you will require permission from the patient.¡± The bodyguards said expressionlessly.
¡°You¡¯ve been stirring up amotion yet that patient hasn¡¯t paid you any mind. It is clear that he does not wish to see you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Can¡¯t I go in anyways?¡±
¡°Our apologies.¡±
Fang Manxue saw that the bodyguards would not budge from their positions. She gave Bai Chenxi a look and the two of them went to check with the hospital staff about the person¡¯s identity, only to learn that Bai Qinghao had ordered all of them to keep their mouths shut.
Despite how curious they were, they knew that if it was something Bai Qinghao wanted to keep hidden, there would be no way for them to find it out.
They could only give up.
...
Fang Xinxin climbed into Bai Qinghao¡¯s ck alligator SUV. The two of them sat in the back while Liu Li drove the car.
¡°I never expected Gu Linyuan to be close to the Bai family,¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up. In her past life, she had never learnt about this.
Earlier, Bai Qinghao met Gu Linyuan in the hospital. When he learned that Gu Linyuan had nearly died, and found out about her involvement in this matter, he immediately arranged for his bodyguards to protect Gu Linyuan.
Chapter 52: The Bai And Gu Family’s Friendship
Chapter 52: The Bai And Gu Family¡¯s Friendship
Gu Linyuan did not mention their 4,50,000 USD deal in front of Bai Qinghao. Since Director Gu did not bring it up, Fang Xinxin also kept silent about it.
Sitting in the car, Bai Qinghao said expressionlessly, ¡°My grandfather and Elder Gu were sworn brothers. Ever since the two of them passed away, my father barely interacted with Gu Linyuan. Right now, our families are considered to be near strangers. However, considering the two elder¡¯s friendship, I won¡¯t stand on the side and watch when I can help.¡±
Fang Xinxin knew that Gu Linyuan had been in the business world for more than half his life. He must have offended countless people. Wang Yihai and Feng Yuwen were not the only ones who would target him. ¡°With your bodyguards, Director Gu will definitely be fine.¡±
However, for her, after rescuing Gu Linyuan and giving him the information that he needed, she had already fulfilled her end of the deal.
As they drove past a stock exchange building, Fang Xinxin asked him. ¡°Can we stop the car here for a while?¡±
Liu Li nced at hismander through the rearview mirror.
Bai Qinghao nodded and Liu Li responded by stopping the car by the roadside.
Fang Xinxin alighted and headed for the building¡¯s lobby. She returned ten minutester and told him. ¡°I went to open a few ounts.¡±
A hint of surprise shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s ink-ck pupils. ¡°You¡¯re interested in investing in stocks?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
She was well-versed and experienced enough in the dealing of the financial market.
In her previous life, Bai Qinghao often kept her restrained in the Yu Ting Vi. In order to pass time, she started to read up on stocks and eventually managed to earn tenfold of what she had invested.
Unfortunately, she made a mistake at that time and bought the wrong stocks, losing nearly ny percent of what she earned.
Afterwards, she started from scratch again...
In conclusion, she had been depressed by her meagre resources and chose to invest, whatever money she had, in the stocks market.
She had experienced the entire cycle, soaring and drowning repeatedly many times. It was not much different from going through life and death over and over again.
At the time, Bai Qinghao did try to give her some money. However, she always returned it, iming that he was trying to buy her over by doing that.
Once, Bai Qinghao even forcefully handed her eight million dors.
However, she made an extremely stupid choice. Bai Chenxi hade over and told her that hispany was struggling financially. As a result, she lent him the entire sum to help him tide over.
But when Bai Chenxi¡¯spany recovered, he did not return even a single cent to her.
At the thought of her idiocy in the past, she really wished she could use a brick to break her head open.
She stared at Bai Qinghao, who seemed lost in his thoughts.
In this life, aside from collecting payment from everyone who owed her debts, she had sworn to love him properly.
After a moment, Bai Qinghao returned her warm and open gaze. His heart was akin to ake that had been frozen for thousands of years. It rippled ever so slightly.
Wasn¡¯t this the first time she was properly looking at him?
And with the way she was looking at him, he could not help but misunderstand that he had a ce in her heart.
¡°Cough!¡± Liu Li cleared his throat as he parked the car. ¡°Boss, Miss Fang, we¡¯ve arrived at the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
Originally, he really did not want to interrupt their passionate exchange of gaze.
However, his boss was as handsome as a god, while Fattie Fang was obese, ugly and covered in a frightening amount of e.
The image they presented was really really weird.
Someone like her did not deserve to even hold the CEO¡¯s shoes. He really did not want his heroic and outstanding boss to fall too deeply for her.
¡°Oh... all right.¡± Fang Xinxin opened the car door and alighted.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold, sharp gazended on Liu Li. ¡°Next time, keep your mouth shut when you¡¯re not supposed to speak.¡±
Chapter 53: Undeniable Facts
Chapter 53: Undeniable Facts
His boss¡¯s gaze was burning holes at the back of his head and Liu Li could not help but tremble. ¡°Yes, sir.¡±
Fang Xinxin entered the vi and returned to the main bedroom on the third floor.
She brought out her smartphone whose metallic finish had faded with use. She had bought it with the money she managed to save. It had cost no more than a hundred dors.
Compared to the appearance of an Apple smartphone, it was basically trash.
She had already owned it for two years and the memory card was almost full. She made a mental note to purchase a new one when she got the time.
She logged into the ounts that she had opened earlier. As she scanned the page, her lips curved up happily.
The advantage of having a second chance was that she knew the events that were going to happen in advance. But she needed to restrain herself from being too obvious in her conduct.
The new ounts were empty. She wanted to transfer the money she received from Gu Linyuan over, but discovered that there were already eight million dors in her investment ounts.
Who would send her such arge sum of money?
Aside from Bai Qinghao, there were no other possibilities.
She checked the source of the transfer. As expected, it was from the Sheng Shi Group under Bai Qinghao¡¯s name.
A warm feeling spread through her chest.
She had only mentioned the ounts to Bai Qinghao in passing. She never expected him to actually give her the money!
This man... how could she possibly stay unmoved?
She stared at the numbers on the screen as she fell deep in thought.
She gently touched the numbers on the screen, caressing back and forth as though she was holding Bai Qinghao¡¯s face in her palm instead.
A momentter, she transferred the money back to him. To love him, she needed to be strong on her own.
She then shifted the money from her earlier transaction into her investment ounts. She decisively purchased the stocks that she knew, with certainty, would rise.
With this, all she needed to do was wait to collect her money!
In the study, Bai Qinghao sat before hisputer with an icy cold expression as he watched the surveince camera records which they had brought back from the hospital.
On the screen, Fang Xinxin sent Gu Linyuan and his chauffeur to the hospital and helped him with the admission procedure. She then headed out to buy an apple before returning...
He continued watching until he confirmed that she did not take a single step into Bai Chenxi¡¯s bedroom.
His frigid expression finally warmed up.
Liu Li stood behind him, expressing his disbelief. ¡°Boss, I never expected that Fattie Fang... Miss Fang really wasn¡¯t at the hospital to pick Bai Chenxi up.¡±
Despite the fact that Bai Qinghao already trusted Fang Xinxin, he could not help but have second thoughts when he recalled her previous obsession with Bai Chenxi.
But facts were undeniable!
Thus, he had decided to check the surveince records. If it turned out she had gone to visit Bai Chenxi, there was no way he would let her off.
However, the records proved her innocence.
The so-called ¡®loving apple¡¯ that Fang Manxue imed Fang Xinxin had bought, seemed to have been given to Gu Linyuan.
Earlier, he had also seen the apple peel in Gu Linyuan¡¯s hospital room.
Fang Manxue, that vicious woman, was quite good at ndering Fang Xinxin.
It was too light to let them off by taking away only one project from them.
However, when he recalled that Fang Xinxin was also the Fang Group¡¯s daughter, Bai Qinghao decided not to punish them further.
At this moment, Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone rang.
He was informed that Fang Xinxin had returned the eight million dors to the Sheng Shi Group. His eyes narrowed into slits.
Chapter 54: Eight Million Is Equal To Eighty Cents
Chapter 54: Eight Million Is Equal To Eighty Cents
Fang Xinxin had refused to ept his money. Could it be that, she was still thinking of Bai Chenxi?
He hung up the call with a frigid expression and walked up to the main bedroom.
Fang Xinxin sat on the couch as she scrolled through thetest news on the stock market. All of a sudden, she felt an icy gaze directed at her. She could not help but tremble.
She nced up to see that Bai Qinghao was standing at the door with a dark expression.
She tried her best to stop herself from responding to his intimidating aura with fear. She pursed her lips and asked him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, do you need something?¡±
He stared at her sternly without saying anything. His gaze pierced through her like an X-ray, giving her the false illusion that he was seeing right through her.
Fang Xinxin was nearly frightened to death. She recalled their previous life when he had protected her right up to her final moments despite her pitiful state.
The fear faded away slowly and she was able to speak normally. ¡°You must have seen the surveince records from the hospital. I really didn¡¯t go to the hospital to pick Bai Chenxi up. I only went to his room to see you.¡±
¡°I believe in you,¡± he responded coldly.
¡°Then...¡± She really could not figure out why he was still upset.
¡°Why won¡¯t you ept my money?¡± His expression was dark.
She chuckled lightly. ¡°So that¡¯s why you¡¯re angry.¡± She held her cheek as she stared at him. ¡°You sure are interesting. I helped you save eight million dors. Why are you angry?¡±
¡°To me, eight million dors is no different from a normal person¡¯s eighty cents.¡±
¡°Oh...¡± She chuckled mischievously. ¡°So you only gave me eighty cents?¡±
¡°How much do you want?¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. He appeared as though he was emotionless.
But Fang Xinxin knew that, regardless of how much money she requested for, he would fulfil her demand without hesitation.
This man was even willing to hand his life over to her!
¡°I was just trying to tease you.¡± She smiled slightly.
¡°Although eight million is a small sum to you, it¡¯s an extremelyrge amount for me. I want to be strong on my own. For the time being, I won¡¯t ept your money.¡±
¡®For the time being¡¯ meant that she would ept it in the future. Bai Qinghao¡¯s emotions were somewhat appeased. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be strong. I will protect you forever.¡±
She froze slightly.
He misunderstood her reaction and assumed that she disdained his protection. His gaze was infuriated. ¡°What? Do you wish the man protecting you was Bai Chenxi?¡±
After saying this, he turned to leave.
Fang Xinxin rushed to his side and embraced him from behind. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I hope that it will be you!¡±
The reason this man was prone to misunderstanding and bing jealous so quickly was all because of her past mistakes...
Sob...
She needed to gain... the trust they never had.
This was the first time she took the initiative to embrace him. Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure stiffened. ¡°Fang Xinxin, remember the words you¡¯ve said!¡±
¡°Rx. Even when I be old and senile, I won¡¯t forget these words.¡± She nodded her head like an adorable little chick pecking at corn.
Bai Qinghao turned around. He lowered his chin and stared at her, whispering darkly in his heart. ¡®You best keep me fooled for the rest of your life!¡¯
He was about to return Fang Xinxin¡¯s embrace when Liu Li approached them. He bowed respectfully. ¡°Boss, there¡¯s an urgent document waiting to be signed.¡±
Bai Qinghao stated at Liu Li unhappily.
Liu Li trembled as he endured the burning gaze. ¡°It¡¯s extremely urgent. The person who delivered the document is waiting in your study.¡±
Bai Qinghao stepped away reluctantly. He walked forward for a few steps before pausing. ¡°You¡¯re only neen this year. You¡¯re not old at all.¡±
Chapter 55: Transformer
Chapter 55: Transformer
Fang Xinxin naturally understood that Bai Qinghao was responding to her earlier words about being old and senile. ¡°This man, he sure is attractive and has a silver tongue.¡±
Bai Qinghao heard her words from afar and a corner of his lips lifted up in delight.
Liu Li watched as his boss¡¯s figure disappeared behind a corner. He immediately turned to look at Fang Xinxin mockingly. ¡°The CEO is attractive, but you are deformed!¡±
Fang Xinxin red at Liu Li unhappily. ¡°Brat, what are you talking about?¡±
Liu Li lifted his hands and made ¡®camera¡¯ hands to scan her figure up and down. ¡°I won¡¯t lie. Look at your obese figure. You¡¯re fat to the point of morphing into a transformer soon...¡±
Liu Li could not help butugh heartily at his own words. ¡°The more I think about it, the more appropriate thisparison is. Ah, why am I so smart?¡±
Fang Xinxin also scanned him from up to down. She extended her left hand and moved her index finger and thumb to mime pinching his little head. ¡°You¡¯re not smart. But you¡¯re bound to be lucky very soon. I¡¯m referring to the type of luck rted to wealth.¡±
¡°Wealth... I like those words.¡± Liu Li nodded.
Before she could say anything further, he brought out a lottery ticket from his pocket. ¡°I buy a lottery ticket every week. I¡¯ve persisted in doing so for ten years. One day, I will definitely win the grand prize.¡±
¡°A grand opportunity is right before your eyes.¡± Fang Xinxin brought out the stack of lottery tickets she bought previously in the day. She waved it before him. ¡°Last night, I had a dream. I dreamt that I married your CEO. He was so happy that he became drunk and carelessly recited a string of numbers in his intoxicated state. I thought about it and wondered, what can Bai Qinghao represent in my dream? He must represent money. Thus, I bought a stack of lottery tickets with the numbers he recited. Since you are his trusted aide, how about I sell you one of these tickets?¡±
¡°Tsk... look at you!¡± Liu Li nced at her tickets and waspletely unmoved.
¡°These tickets are poisoned now that you¡¯ve touched them. Do you actually think you can win... Hahaha!¡±
¡°I¡¯m selling them at their original price. They are only forty cents a piece. Are you sure you don¡¯t want them?¡± Fang Xinxin continued holding the tickets in front of him with sincerity.
In their previous life, Liu Li had died protecting Bai Qinghao. Considering his loyalty, she genuinely wanted to help him strike it rich.
¡°Forget about it. If a fat pig like you could win the first prize, wouldn¡¯t I ascend into the heavens?¡± Liu Li brought out a few coins and tossed them in the air before catching them back. ¡°Although I have forty cents here, I¡¯m not going to buy your ticket!¡±
¡°All right then. If you won¡¯t even trust the words of a transformer, you¡¯re doomed to miss the grand prize!¡± She shook her head in regret. ¡°A child truly cannot be taught.¡±
She continued shaking her head and headed for the living room on the first floor.
Liu Li followed behind with a mocking expression.
Fang Xinxin climbed down the stairs before she turned back to look at him. ¡°Why are you following me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m watching you to make sure you don¡¯t stab my boss.¡±
¡°Then you better keep your eyes on me. I might stab him anytime.¡±
Liu Li¡¯s expression instantly became wary. ¡°Just with those words alone, I could tie you up right now.¡±
¡°Go ahead. It¡¯s not as if your boss would trust you. He¡¯ll release me anytime I ask him to.¡±
He felt that Fattie Fang was not wrong. Whenever his boss saw her, he instantly turned into an incapable ruler.
Fang Xinxin did not have to make any effort to deal with him. Right then, Fang Manxue stepped into the vi.
¡°Third Sister...¡± Fang Manxue had applied a delicateyer of makeup on her face. When she saw Fang Xinxin, her expression immediately turned warm.
Fang Xinxin nced at the sky outside the window. ¡°Second Sister, you came all the way herete in the evening. Do you need something?¡±
Fang Manxue held her hand and began pulling her hand. ¡°Xinxin ah, let¡¯s go home.¡±
But Fang Xinxin remained unmoved, like a mountain. ¡°I¡¯m not going back.¡±
Chapter 56: Follow Your Sister Home
Chapter 56: Follow Your Sister Home
Fang Manxue tugged with force but was still unable to move this Fat God. ¡°Third Sister, listen to me!¡±
Fang Xinxin wanted to p her sister¡¯s hand away. However, she still needed to maintain her act as a good sister and could not be too dominating. ¡°I¡¯m perfectly happy here. Why do I have to follow you home?¡±
Fang Manxue did not actually wish to take Fang Xinxin home. In fact, she would be much happier if the dumb trash died outside.
However, Fang Xinxin was living in the vi that Bai Qinghao, the love of her life, owned...
Furthermore, she previously used to add ¡®drugs¡¯ into Fang Xinxin¡¯s food everyday. This ensured her constant weight gain.
As for Fang Xinxin¡¯s face...
She had also added ¡®medicine¡¯ into her skincare and make-up.
It had been days since Fang Xinxinst returned home; days since she drugged her food.
Right now, Fang Xinxin already seemed to have lost some weight. The e on her face also seemed to be forming scabs...
If this continued any further, wouldn¡¯t she be less ugly?
The damned fattie was hideous to look at, yet Bai Qinghao refused to dissolve their marriage contract. If she became more attractive, wouldn¡¯t it be an impossible feat?
For the sake of keeping up appearances in front of Bai Qinghao, Fang Manxue could only continue acting like a good sister. ¡°Xinxin ah, we can¡¯t cause trouble in someone else¡¯s home. That¡¯s disrespectful. Let¡¯s return to our home.¡±
Our home? Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly.
Could the Fang home be considered hers?
Her mother waspletely biased. Although her second sister appeared to have her ¡®best interests¡¯ at heart, in actuality, she saw her as an eyesore.
It was morefortable to stay in the Yu Ting Vi.
¡°I don¡¯t want to go back.¡± She pulled her hand out of Fang Manxue¡¯s hold.
Fang Manxue wanted to continue when she noticed Bai Qinghaoing down the stairs.
¡°Commander...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s face reddened when she saw him.
She had put in a lot of effort to dress up beforeing here today. The red dress she chose entuated her figure perfectly. Her make-up was also done by a famous make-up artist and she spent five hundred dors on it.
With her beautiful features, she was an eye-catching figure wherever she went. She was certain that Bai Qinghao would not be able to ignore her anymore.
Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao did not even nce at her. He spoke in an unhurried manner. ¡°Fang Xinxin said that she doesn¡¯t want to go back home. Didn¡¯t you hear her?¡±
¡°She¡¯s disturbing you...¡±
¡°She¡¯s my fiancee. How could she possibly be disturbing me?¡± Bai Qinghao refused her presence decisively. ¡°Send the guest out!¡±
¡°Miss Fang, this way please.¡± Ji Qing, one of the maids standing by the side, gestured with her arm politely.
Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip unhappily.
She knew that, with Bai Qinghao around, as long as Fang Xinxin was unwilling, there was no way she could forcefully bring her along.
Thus, she smiled and spoke caringly to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Third Sister, why don¡¯t you stay here for a few more days. If you there¡¯s anything you need, remember to let me know.¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered at Fang Manxue¡¯s false concern. ¡°The Yu Ting Vi has everything I need.¡±
¡°Then...¡± Fang Manxue did not wish to say the words, ¡®I¡¯m leaving.¡¯
She had already decided that if she couldn¡¯t bring Fang Xinxin home today, she would stay back at the Yu Ting Vi with her.
She peeked secretly at Bai Qinghao. He was unbelievably handsome and cool. Moreover, this man possessed unlimited wealth and power.
It was impossible to find anyone more outstanding than Bai Qinghao.
He could only belong to her, Fang Manxue!
Fang Xinxin noticed Fang Manxue¡¯s gaze and mumbled, ¡°Just like a cat that is salivating for a fish.¡±
¡°What?¡± Bai Qinghao was confused. He raised his brows slightly.
¡°I said, Fang Manxue looks at you like a ck cat salivating at the sight of a fish.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s feelings were tantly exposed. But she did not be angry, and instead responded respectfully. ¡°CEO Bai is an outstanding man. He is the goal every woman has in her heart, the partner one can¡¯t help but dream about.¡±
Chapter 57: Black Cat
Chapter 57: ck Cat
Bai Qinghao did not pay any attention to Fang Manxue¡¯s deration. A hint of interest appeared on his face. ¡°Why is she a ck cat?¡±
¡°Because her heart is ck, ah.¡± Fang Xinxin answered without pausing to hesitate.
Fang Manxue was frustrated. ¡°Third Sister, what are you saying? You¡¯ll make CEO Bai misunderstand me! How is my heart ck? Tell me which other sister is kinder than me? I¡¯ve been so worried about you during the past few days. Although I knew you would be safe by CEO Bai¡¯s side, as your sister, I still couldn¡¯t help but worry.¡±
¡°Your speaking is even more melodious than singing.¡±
¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m your sister!¡± Fang Manxue appeared upset. ¡°We have the same parents. Talking about your sister like this, it¡¯s your heart that¡¯s ck!¡±
When Liu Li heard this, he stared at Fang Xinxin in disdain.
Bai Qinghao on the other hand, was expressionless. It wasn¡¯t clear what thoughts he had about this.
¡°Oh, look. I only said a few words and you¡¯ve already revealed your true colours. If you¡¯reparing the both of us, wouldn¡¯t you be Abbess Mie Jue? [1. Abbess Mie Jue is a famous character in a novel. She is known for being practical, materialistic and cold-hearted.]¡±
Take that blow!
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression became extremely poor. ¡°How could youpare me to Abbess Mie Jue?¡±
¡°You know better than anyone that Bai Qinghao hates being betrayed, yet you repeatedly make false ims about me in front of him, saying that I love Bai Chenxi to the point of obsession. Aren¡¯t you trying to get me into trouble?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold.
¡°I bet you dearly wish that Bai Qinghao would kill me in a fit of rage.¡±
Fang Manxue naturally agreed with those words. However, what she said was, ¡°That¡¯s not true. Everything I¡¯ve said is the truth...¡± She turned toward Bai Qinghao sincerely.
¡°CEO Bai, my sister clearly said this to me in the past. She really, really loves Bai Chenxi!¡±
Fang Xinxin did not recall ever saying this to her. She turned and saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark. His sharp gaze could barely contain his anger.
But she was unruffled. ¡°Come on, Second Sister, what else have I said to you? Why don¡¯t you use this opportunity to say everything to him.¡±
¡°You told me that you don¡¯t love Bai Qinghao. You even said that if you weren¡¯t afraid of his power, you would have ended your marriage contract with him long ago.¡± Fang Manxue continued dramatising her story fearlessly.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s handsome face nearly twisted with rage. When he shifted his sharp gaze onto Fang Xinxin, she could feel his murderous intent.
If she really dared to admit that she loved Bai Chenxi, he would kill her!
Yet, Fang Xinxin continued standing in front of the nuzzle of the gun fearlessly. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare to admit it?¡±
Fang Manxue was ted at Fang Xinxin¡¯s idiocy. To think she would say this openly.
Bai Qinghao clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead appeared to be twitching from rage.
The entire vi seemed to be colder by several degrees.
Everyone began to tremble from the immense, intimidating aura emitting from him.
Fang Xinxin however, was fearless. ¡°I, Fang Xinxin, have never done anything to be ashamed of. If I truly loved Bai Chenxi, I would definitely admit it. The problem is, I don¡¯t love Bai Chenxi. How do you want me to admit this?¡±
Hearing her words, much of the frightening aura immediately dissipated from the room.
Fang Manxue became flustered. ¡°Third Sister, that¡¯s not what you said in the past...¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never said any of those things to you before. What do you mean by, I like Bai Chenxi, I love Bai Chenxi, I love him to the point of obsession, and that I¡¯ll fucking dissolve my marriage contract with Bai Qinghao... Should you really be ndering me like this?¡± Fang Xinxin was unruffled by the conflicting emotions around her.
She looked directly at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Bai Qinghao, earlier, my second sister admitted that you¡¯re the ideal partner she dreams of.¡±
Chapter 58: Good Sister
Chapter 58: Good Sister
¡°This is the evidence that my Second Sister has her eyes set on you. I¡¯m your fiancee. A jealous woman like her, who has lustful ideas about own future brother-inw, is capable of all sorts of schemes against me. This is all because I¡¯ve been holding onto my position as your fianc¨¦e and refusing to let go. To be honest, from the very beginning, I¡¯ve never had feelings for Bai Chenxi. This was all intentionally staged by my Second Sister.¡±
In her previous life, she had genuinely loved Bai Chenxi. However, she came to her senses after she died.
Furthermore, she had never mentioned the word ¡®love¡¯ to anyone.
Even though she did love Bai Chenxi, she only ever used the word, ¡®like¡¯.
It didn¡¯t matter if Fang Manxue wanted to describe it in whatever way.
This time, she would not only deny that so-called love, she would erase the ¡®like¡¯ that existed in the past!
Let¡¯s see if Fang Manxue, this trash, could still im anything against her.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s murderous intent fadedpletely. His ice-cold gaze also became gentler.
He stared directly into Fang Xinxin¡¯s bright eyes. She had an especially beautiful pair of eyes, clean and honest.
There wasn¡¯t the slightest hint of disguise in those eyes at the moment.
Of course, Fang Xinxin was honest. In this lifetime, she absolutely despised Bai Chenxi.
Fang Manxue saw that the Commander seemed to believe Fang Xinxin¡¯s words and became flustered. ¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t trust her!¡±
She shuffled her feet and gritted her teeth, as thoughing to a significant decision. ¡°Xinxin, I can¡¯t be your scapegoat. Since you insist that I ndered you, I can only let CEO Bai listen to the evidence.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression changed slightly.
The so-called evidence Fang Manxue mentioned was actually a video she had recorded of Fang Xinxin confessing to Bai Chenxi.
In their previous life, Bai Qinghao had nearly strangled her to death after seeing it.
Afterward, he ordered her to be locked in the bedroom, and even chained her hands and feet to prevent her from escaping.
Ever since then, her hatred for Bai Qinghao had worsened.
In fact, Fang Manxue had wanted to show this video to Bai Qinghao from the start. Yet, she insisted on acting pitiful and kept putting on a show of being backed into a corner.
This whore! She pretended to be a good person in front of Bai Qinghao whilst causing trouble for her.
In this lifetime, how could she possibly let things go her way?
As Fang Manxue brought her phone out, Fang Xinxin quickly spoke up before Fang Manxue could y the video. ¡°Are you referring to that video clip? Second Sister, so it turns out, you made me confess to Bai Chenxi and recorded the whole thing, all for the sake of showing it to Bai Qinghao.¡±
Fang Manxue stiffened. She could not contain her shock. ¡°How do you know I recorded it?¡± She had taken the video secretly. There was no way this dumb trash could have known about it.
¡°Oh, so you¡¯re really nning on bringing out that video.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared enlightened.
She turned to Bai Qinghao with a sigh. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m really too kind. My second sister told me that she loves you, and that she cannot live without you. She then begged me to give you up for her sake. She wanted you to dislike me, so she begged me to go confess to Bai Chenxi. I naturally refused her, but she threw a big tantrum and cried endlessly. She even said she would kill herself if I didn¡¯t agree. I was frightened that she would really do something so silly... My heart ached for her. Hence, I decided to agree to her request and go against my own feelings to confess to Bai Chenxi.¡±
Who didn¡¯t know how to act kind? She would return this same ploy to her ¡®good sister¡¯.
Fang Manxue was trembling in anger. She had never begged the ugly fattie to confess to Bai Chenxi. What nonsense!
Chapter 59: Xinxin Confessed to Bai Chenxi
Chapter 59: Xinxin Confessed to Bai Chenxi
She was lying tantly, yet she made herself appear so sincere. When did this dumb trash learn to act so well?
Fang Manxue cried out grievously. ¡°Fang Xinxin went to confess to Bai Chenxi on her own. I didn¡¯t...¡±
¡°What do you mean by that? We went to look for Bai Chenxi together. It¡¯s just that you stayed back in the corner.¡±
Fang Xinxin said seriously, ¡°At the time, I noticed that you had brought out your phone to record, so I made sure to sound convincing when I confessed. I was afraid that you would be unhappy with the recording, and that you would want tomit suicide again...¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t speak rubbish!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s liver was hurting from the anger brewing inside her.
Fang Xinxin used to be a weak and insecure piece of trash. Even though she liked Bai Chenxi for many years, she did it secretly and never dared to confess.
Fang Manxue had egged her on and followed Fang Xinxin for many years before she finally obtained the opportunity to record a video of Fang Xinxin confessing to Bai Chenxi.
After investing so much effort, to think that the fruit of herbour was ruined just like that.
How could she possibly ept this?
¡°Why is this rubbish?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her with an honest expression. ¡°I don¡¯t lie ever.¡± But when I do, I¡¯ming for your life.
¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t trust her...¡± Fang Manxue rushed to exin to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Fang Xinxin really confessed to Bai Chenxi on her own. I didn¡¯t threaten tomit suicide...¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was frigidly cold. ¡°Fang Xinxin never ever lies. But you, on the other hand...¡±
Fang Manxue was frightened by his stern expression. ¡°You really have to believe me... If not, look, look at the video before you decide. There¡¯s no way to conceal the look of someone in love! In the video, you can tell that Fang Xinxin is genuinely in love with Bai Chenxi!¡±
Fang Manxue originally thought Fang Xinxin would begin to look guilty. However, she did not falter in the slightest.
Fang Xinxin was not intimidated by Fang Manxue¡¯s words. She had taken the video while hiding in a corner. There was no way she could have captured her gaze at the time. Fang Manxue wanted to trap her with her words and cause her to have a guilty conscience.
You wish!
Bai Qinghao noticed Fang Xinxin¡¯s open attitude and felt more at ease. He gave Liu Li a look.
Liu Li received the phone from Fang Manxue and retrieved a clean, white handkerchief from his pocket. He then wiped the phone clean before handing it to Bai Qinghao.
Fang Manxue became slightly embarrassed. The Commander¡¯s actions made it seem as though the phone, which she had used, contained dirt. He actually needed to wipe it so thoroughly. She felt stifled to the point of wanting to die!
She reminded herself that the Commander had mysophobia. He wasn¡¯t doing this deliberately to go against her. At this thought, her heart felt better.
Bai Qinghao stared at the phone screen coldly. As the video began ying, his expression seemed to be enveloped by a dark shadow.
It seemed like the video had been taken at a park near the Fang family¡¯s home. Bai Chenxi was dressed in casualwear. Fang Xinxin approached him and hesitated to speak. ¡°Bai... Bai Chenxi...¡±
¡°Miss Fang, why did you call me here?¡±
¡°You... what sort of girls do you like?¡± Her cheeks were flushed.
¡°I like all the girls in this world who are adorable.¡± The man¡¯s graceful voice was extremely charming. His gentle tone seemed to be telling her that he saw her as an extremely adorable girl.
Fang Xinxin was encouraged. She lifted her chin and stared at him. She then mustered up all her courage and confessed. ¡°I like you!¡±
After saying so, she did not wait for Bai Chenxi¡¯s reaction before running away.
The video ended.
The image was clear and the volume was also set to the highest.
Despite the fact that Fang Manxue had taken the video from several meters away, both their voices could still be heard clearly.
Chapter 60: Qinghao’s Lifetime Scar
Chapter 60: Qinghao¡¯s Lifetime Scar
Fang Xinxin had nursed a crush on Bai Chenxi ever since she was young. She had been nning to confess for a long time and had prepared a lot of words to say to him.
It would have probably taken her hours to say all the words of admiration she had for him.
Unfortunately, her self-esteem was extremely poor and when she finally stood in front of Bai Chenxi, she could not bring herself to say anything. In the end, she could only force out the words, ¡®I like you¡¯.
Thankfully, she did not say anything more. If she did, she would surely be seen through and no one would have believed in her at this moment.
But she couldn¡¯t underestimate this simple video. It had been sufficient to drive Bai Qinghao insane in the previous life.
Bai Qinghao was an extremely dominating man. He was possessive and absolutely could not tolerate that the woman, whom he loved, admired another man.
Fang Xinxin recalled that, in their previous life, Bai Qinghao had taken away Fang Manxue¡¯s phone andpensated her with a new one after this instance.
He often reyed this clip. Whenever he watched it, he would lose his temper. The furniture at home had been smashed over and over again and he had nearly demolished the entire Yu Ting Vi.
Whenever he lost his temper, she would shrink in the corner, frightened.
Once, he had held the phone in his hand and interrogated her. ¡°What exactly is so good about Bai Chenxi? Why do you like him so much!¡±
To make matters worse, she had shouted back in anger. ¡°Everything about Bai Chenxi is good! He is better than you in every way.¡±
At that time, she believed that Bai Chenxi was extremely charming, handsome and graceful. He never raised his voice when he spoke to girls and was unlike Bai Qinghao, who was unpredictable and lost his temper like a beast!
Bai Qinghao had red at her with reddened eyes, and even threatened to kill Bai Chenxi.
She, then, threatened him with her life in return. ¡°If Bai Chenxi dies, I¡¯ll die with him!¡±
¡°You dare!¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you try it and find out!¡± She had really gone all out to protect Bai Chenxi at that time. Her character was such that she would never allow the man, she loved, to be harmed because of her own actions.
¡°Then I won¡¯t kill him, I¡¯ll make him a cripple! I¡¯ll make living worse than death for him.¡± Bai Qinghao had threatened back.
¡°No matter what happens to Bai Chenxi, I¡¯ll apany him to go through the same thing.¡± She had refuted, not giving in.
¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± At the time, Bai Qinghao had nearly hit her in a fit of rage.
She still recalled the punch he had thrown at the time. With the strength he had, one blow alone was sufficient to take away half of her life.
She had closed her eyes in fear, yet the pain never came. Instead, his fist hadnded on the wall next to her.
She had heard the sound of his bones cracking. His punch had been too powerful and as his fist came into contact with the wall, his hand was fractured.
But, her heart did not ache for him. Instead, she fervently wished he would die.
Now that she thought about it, no matter how angry Bai Qinghao ever was, or how much he had threatened to kill her, she still lived on well. Even when he smashed the entire Yu Ting Vi, she would still remain unharmed.
He only raised his voice, but never harmed a single hair of hers. In front of her, he was the so-called ¡®paper tiger¡¯.
Yet, when it came to others, he was cruel and ruthless. He never hesitated when taking their lives.
Thus, as time progressed, it became such that everyone was terrified of him. Although she was just like them, she grew to be the only one who also had the courage to face him head on.
And then, like a joke, she was used by Bai Chenxi to deal with Bai Qinghao.
It turns out that the man she had been misled into hating, was actually the one who loved her the most.
Bai Qinghao, ah, Bai Qinghao. In this lifetime, how was she supposed to repay the love he had used his life to offer her?
Fang Xinxin returned to herself. In this lifetime, she refused to let the video be a scar that would haunt Bai Qinghao throughout his life.
Chapter 61: Not Even Fit To Hold Bai Qinghao’s Shoes
Chapter 61: Not Even Fit To Hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s Shoes
¡°Fang Manxue, you imed that the video shows my deep love for Bai Chenxi.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at her before turning to look firmly at Bai Qinghao with clear eyes.
¡°As my second sister said, the gaze of someone in love cannot be concealed. Forget love, I don¡¯t even like Bai Chenxi. Bai Qinghao, you¡¯ve seen the video. From where I¡¯m standing, my actual expression can¡¯t be seen in that video, but I¡¯m certain that I didn¡¯t look at Bai Chenxi with a loving gaze. Bai Qinghao, my second sister has feelings for you. In order to steal you away from me, she is even capable of the ndering me to the lowest level. But I don¡¯t wish to be her puppet any longer.¡±
Bai Qinghao returned her gaze with a cold one. ¡°Fang Xinxin, your intelligence level has finally gone up.¡±
He did not show any signs of being upset. It was clear that he believed her exnation. Fang Xinxin rxed internally without showing any visible changes on her face. It seemed like this video was no longer going to be an obstacle.
But Fang Manxue refused to give up. ¡°No, CEO Bai, you can¡¯t just believe her like this... Fang Xinxin is really in love...¡±
¡°Second Sister, enough. You may not be tired of repeating those words, but I¡¯m tired of listening to them.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to be frustrated.
She extended her right arm and gestured toward Bai Qinghao. ¡°Open your eyes and take a good look at him. Bai Qinghao is handsome. He is charismatic, noble and stylish, and he has more than enough money to bury everyone alive. How is Bai Chenxi supposed topete with Bai Qinghao? He isn¡¯t even fit to hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes. Even if my eyes were fucking blind, I wouldn¡¯t abandon such a wonderful male idol to chase after Bai Chenxi, eh!¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue was speechless.
She had never expected Fang Xinxin to say something like this. Normally, Fang Xinxin got upset with anyone who dared to insult Bai Chenxi. Then, was this Fang Xinxin¡¯s ghost right now?
Yet, there was no way for her to refute the dumb trash¡¯s words.
This was Liu Li¡¯s first and only time finding Fang Xinxin to be a pleasant sight.
It seemed like she finally said something that he could agree with.
In the past, whenever she peeked secretly at Bai Chenxi, even an outsider like himself felt the urge to beat her up. He had always wanted to ask her if her eyes grew on her butt? Compared to his boss, Bai Chenxi barely amounted to anything.
As per Bai Qinghao¡¯s understanding, Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions had always shown her true feelings for Bai Chenxi.
Could it be that she really pretended to have feelings for Bai Chenxi all this while because Fang Manxue had emotionally ckmailed her, and she was worried for her sister¡¯s life?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, a minute ago, Fang Xinxin emphatically made Bai Chenxi sound like he was worth nothing, and she even... praised Bai Qinghao so much.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frozen heart seemed to tremble. His dark gaze could not conceal his joy. ¡°Fang Manxue, are there any other copies of this video?¡± He would never allow this sort of easily-misconstrued video to spread.
If the video was uploaded online, and led to the misunderstanding that Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e had a liking for other men, where would his face go?
Fang Manxue did not understand the reason behind his question and answered honestly. ¡°No.¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his hand and Fang Manxue¡¯s phone flew across the room in a beautiful arc tond in the transparent fish tank by the wall.
¡°Ah... my phone!¡± Fang Manxue cried in shock.
Aside from that video, her phone also contained many unttering photos of Fang Xinxin, clicked from all sorts of bad angles.
Chapter 62: Xinxin Loves Your Money
Chapter 62: Xinxin Loves Your Money
If she uploaded those pictures on a forum, she could easily tarnish Fang Xinxin¡¯s reputation further.
This was a big loss!
Fang Xinxin was pleased. She could understand Bai Qinghao¡¯s reasons for tossing Fang Manxue¡¯s phone into the water.
¡°Fang Manxue, if I find you threatening Fang Xinxin with suicide again, and forcing her to like Bai Chenxi...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze was filled with murderous intent. ¡°I¡¯ll immediately send you to your death!¡±
Fang Manxue trembled in fear. She did not doubt his words in the slightest.
Whether they were businessmen or politicians, all those who offended Bai Qinghao disappeared under ¡®mysterious¡¯ circumstances. Even their corpses were missing till this day.
As a result, many people hadbelled Bai Qinghao as the ¡®Death God¡¯ behind his back.
She wanted to argue that she did not emotionally ckmail Fang Xinxin and the video was real, shot secretly by her.
It was true that she had forced Fang Xinxin to do many things. However, forcing her to like Bai Chenxi was not one of them.
Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao seemed to have already made up his mind that she was guilty. It was no longer possible for her to clear her name at the moment.
In front of Fang Xinxin, Fang Manxue had always behaved high and mighty. She had never felt this humiliated. Even if Bai Qinghao won¡¯t believe her regarding this matter, she wasn¡¯t going to let Fang Xinxin off!
¡°CEO Bai, Fang Xinxin said that you¡¯re powerful and wealthy enough to bury everyone alive with money... it¡¯s clear that she is only attracted to your wealth and power.¡± Fang Manxue said this intentionally to make Fang Xinxin appear superficial.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows and responded coldly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether or not she is attracted to my money and power. Scram! You¡¯re not allowed to enter the Yu Ting Vi without my permission again.¡±
During the past few years, Fang Manxue often informed him about Fang Xinxin¡¯s whereabouts.
As of now, Fang Xinxin¡¯s feelings for Bai Chenxi were slightly unclear.
If it wasn¡¯t because Fang Manxue was still useful, he would have ended her life for threatening his fianc¨¦e to direct her feelings elsewhere.
Directing her feelings elsewhere...
Those words indicated that some feelings already existed in her heart.
Fang Xinxin... Bai Qinghao shifted his heavy and deep gaze onto Fang Xinxin. Did she ever like him?
His gaze suddenly turned cold. Whether she had feelings for him or not, she didn¡¯t have a choice in this matter. She needed to love him because she was the woman he had decided upon!
¡°N... no!¡± Fang Manxue cried out with a paleplexion.
¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t do that. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to obtain your permission to enter the Yu Ting Vi in the first ce. You can¡¯t take it away just like that.¡±
She had schemed for many years and endured a lot of difficulties before she finally got his consent. How could he take this opportunity away so abruptly, especially when she finally took a step in his direction? She had yet to even seduce him!
¡°Still not showing the guests out?¡± Bai Qinghao nced at the maid standing behind.
Ji Qing immediately pushed Fang Manxue towards the exit. ¡°Please leave now!¡±
¡°CEO Bai, you threw my phone away. You can¡¯t owe a woman a debt. You have topensate me with a phone.¡± Fang Manxue raised her voice.
She did not actually care about the phone. She simply wanted to obtain something gifted by Bai Qinghao.
¡°Get her an identical phone.¡± Bai Qinghao instructed the staff expressionlessly.
¡°Thank you.¡± Fang Manxue responded sincerely. Finally, she snapped at Ji Qing, who was pushing her. ¡°I can walk by myself!¡±
She left the vi and turned back to look at Fang Xinxin¡¯s overweight silhouette in that luxurious living room. Hatred and jealousy filled her gaze.
Chapter 63: Sweeter Than The Morning Dew
Chapter 63: Sweeter Than The Morning Dew
She was not going to let this dumb pig off!
Every step she took out of the Yu Ting Vi was sharp and painful.
Inside the vi, Bai Qinghao waved his hand. Ji Qing and Liu Li immediately backed away.
With only him and Fang Xinxin in there, the atmosphere became quiet.
¡°Come here!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s powerful aura was oppressive. It was impossible to disobey him.
Fang Xinxin approached him with some apprehension and lifted her head to look at him.
He was really tall, measuring up to at least 1.8 meters. Dressed in a suit, his profile was perfect.
She stared at him with her big, shiny eyes, and her long eyshes trembled like a cicada¡¯s wings. The more she looked at him, the more she found him a feast for her eyes!
Ah... How could she have such an attractive fiance? She was starting to drool...
¡°What did you say earlier?¡± His ink-ck eyes concealed a hint of interest.
¡°What what?¡± She was confused.
¡°I¡¯m your male idol, en?¡± His low, heavy and dominating voice seemed to be electrifying. His charisma was nearly impossible to withstand.
Her heart skipped a bit. She responded with some embarrassment. ¡°I... I was talking to my second sister, not you...¡±
¡°Yes or no!¡±
¡°Yes.¡± She nodded obediently.
His frigid gaze softened. ¡°Bai Chenxi isn¡¯t even fit to hold my shoes?¡±
She deliberated over it. ¡°He is more fit to hold your socks, the used ones.¡±
A hint of a smile appeared on his cold, handsome face. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯ve be more interesting.¡±
She stared dazedly at his smile. Coupled with his good looks and noble aura, it made for a wless sight. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re so good-looking when you smile!¡±
Unfortunately, he rarely ever smiled.
His smile deepened. ¡°Oh?¡±
¡°I mean it.¡± She nodded her head seriously.
¡°You also have a nice smile.¡±
She widened her eyes. ¡°Are youplimenting me? You¡¯ve never praised me before.¡±
¡°You can consider it so.¡± He patted her head. A sh of doting appeared in his sharp gaze.
Fang Xinxin enjoyed it when he looked at her in this way. She suddenly recalled something. ¡°You just said that I¡¯ve be interesting. Could it be that you found me dull in the past?¡±
His eyes scanned her up and down. ¡°In the past... whenever I saw you, I had the urge to strangle you to death.¡±
¡°...¡±
She was silent for a second, but refused to lose to him. ¡°Hmph! Each time I see you, I have the urge to kiss you to death!¡±
He stared at her red lips and felt desire stirring within him. ¡°So be it!¡±
He lowered his head and kissed her, holding the back of her head firmly with his palm. He intertwined their tongues dominatingly and savoured her taste.
She tasted so sweet, sweeter than the morning dew. The soft sensation was unbelievably intimate and warm.
It was only a kiss, yet it was indescribably tender and intoxicating. He struggled to keep himself from drowning despite the frightening amount of restraint he possessed.
¡°Uu...¡± Fang Xinxin was caught off guard. Against his tall silhouette and dominating demeanor, she was as weak and helpless as a freshly plucked flower.
If he had been any other man, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have allowed him to have his way with her. But Bai Qinghao...
She carried his mark on her soul. His powerful and overwhelming kiss had the might of a tsunami, but she was more than willing to be swept along by his dominance.
Chapter 64: Pretending To Be Unconscious
Chapter 64: Pretending To Be Unconscious
Due to the overzealous activity, Fang Xinxin became breathless.
Bai Qinghao caught her limp body. She actually fainted?
¡°...¡±
He was at a loss about how to respond to this situation. He felt abination of frustration and tenderness swell up inside.
He checked her breath and exhaled a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.
He lifted her up in a princess carry. By then, Fang Xinxin had woken up.
However...
She was too embarrassed and could only pretend to be unconscious.
What sort of a person was Bai Qinghao? With a simple nce, he noticed her trembling eyshes and understood that she was pretending to be unconscious.
Since she wanted to maintain the act, he wouldn¡¯t expose her.
Fang Xinxin initially feared he would struggle to carry her overweight body. To her surprise, he easily brought her up to the third floor. He did not pause even once to catch his breath.
It was clear that her weight didn¡¯t pose much of a challenge to him.
Reading in between the lines, it also meant that his physical strength was extraordinarily good.
This man¡¯s strength was really something to be revered.
Bai Qinghao ced her down on the bed and removed her shoes. He carefully lifted the nket and tucked her in.
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved.
His existence had always been revered like a god by everyone. It was near impossible for him to touch someone else¡¯s shoes.
Yet, he did so for her so naturally, and even gently covered her with the nket.
This man must really love her a lot...
In the past, he had done many such things for her.
However, whenever he touched her, she had resisted him with all her might.
This was because she had wholeheartedly devoted herself to Bai Chenxi.
In response, he became infuriated. The sight of him in that manner caused her to tremble in fear.
What a joke! When Bai Chenxi learnt that Bai Qinghao had taken her away forcefully, he had raged in front of her that Bai Qinghao was a beast, but subtly hinted to her to continue giving into him.
This way, she could obtain Bai Qinghao¡¯s trust and catch him off guard.
And her, being the pig-head that she was, obediently listened to his words and harmed Bai Qinghao countless times...
Guilt ate away at her heart.
She swore that she would treat Bai Qinghao really well this time around.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure stood by the bedside. He considered sleeping by her side.
However, at the thought that she was pretending to be asleep, he felt that perhaps she was unwilling.
Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t feign sleep to avoid him.
Since she was unwilling, he won¡¯t force her.
His eyes darkened and the temperature in the room dropped abruptly.
Chapter 65: Mother Fang
Chapter 65: Mother Fang
Two secondster, he left the room. She heard the door closing shut and found it strange. Weren¡¯t things fine when they kissed earlier?
The cold, oppressive atmosphere and the way the door had mmed shut indicated that Bai Qinghao was angry again.
Why was he angry? Was it because he wasn¡¯t happy with how little they kissed?
Ai, after a tiring day, her body weight caused her to feel drowsy. She did not wish to ponder over it any longer and decided to get some rest first.
...
On the first floor of the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Manxue burrowed her head into her mother¡¯s arms. Fang Ln tried to console her daughter who was crying non-stop. ¡°Mom, mom, I¡¯ve suffered a big grievance!¡±
Fang Ln, who was dressed exquisitely, patted her daughter¡¯s back. ¡°My good daughter, tell me what happened?¡±
¡°It¡¯s that Fang Xinxin again! She misled me into thinking that she was picking Bai Chenxi up from the hospital and yed me for a fool. Later, when I went to the Yu Ting Vi, she caused me to lose the permission I had to visit the Yu Ting Vi as and when I pleased.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°You don¡¯t know this yet, but the night Fang Xinxin eloped with Bai Chenxi, she seduced Bai Qinghao in the hospital room and lost her first time to him.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Ln pped the sofa armrest in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that slut! She¡¯s really cheap down to her bones. Doesn¡¯t she recognise her own position?¡±
Fang Manxue sniffled grievously. ¡°Mom, you have to help me.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Mom will definitely help you discipline her, that lowly wench.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was dark.
¡°Isn¡¯t she just taking advantage of her position as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e? When she loses that privilege, she won¡¯t even be worth a fart.¡±
¡°But she is already Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman...¡± At the thought of this, Fang Manxue could barely contain her anger. She really did not understand how Bai Qinghao managed to eat up a woman like Fang Xinxin.
Inparison, Fang Manxue was unbelievably gorgeous!
¡°So what?¡± Fang Ln harrumphed coldly. ¡°Although Bai Qinghao never touches women indiscriminately, keeping his power and position in mind, it¡¯s not a big deal if he has slept with Fang Xinxin, or a mountain of women. As long as Fang Xinxin does not be pregnant, it doesn¡¯t make a difference.¡±
¡°Then, what if Fang Xinxin does be pregnant?¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
¡°Isn¡¯t that simple?¡± A hint of viciousness appeared on Fang Ln¡¯s slightly wrinkledplexion. ¡°Force her to abort it. If she¡¯s unwilling, poison her food.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Fang Manxue smiled mockingly. ¡°That dumb trash has eaten weight-gain drugs for years. I also added something to her skincare and make-up products. She¡¯s ridiculously dumb and hasn¡¯t noticed a thing over the years.¡±
¡°Speaking of those drugs...¡± Fang Ln rxed.
¡°You can set your heart at ease. After consuming those drugs for a long period, she won¡¯t only suffer from weight gain but will also have difficulty in conceiving. Fang Xinxin won¡¯t be pregnant easily.¡±
¡°Oh... yes, yes.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I actually went silly due to my anger and nearly forgot about this.¡±
¡°You, ah!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s eyes were filled with reprimand. ¡°Didn¡¯t I teach you not to be impatient? Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t someone you can conquer easily. Look what you¡¯ve done. You actually fell into that dumb trash¡¯s trap.¡±
¡°I will definitely listen to you from now onwards, I won¡¯t rush anymore...¡± Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip.
¡°At the moment, I don¡¯t even have the right to enter the Yu Ting Vi. There won¡¯t be any opportunities for me to meet Bai Qinghao again. How am I supposed to climb into his bed?¡±
¡°There are still ways to resolve this.¡± Fang Ln narrowed her sharp eyes. ¡°Bring Fang Xinxin back home. Bai Qinghao will naturallye to look for her. In the Fang vi, how could there be ack of opportunities for you?¡±
Chapter 66: Forty Cents
Chapter 66: Forty Cents
¡°But Fang Xinxin refuses toe home with me...¡±
¡°That¡¯s because you used the wrong method.¡± Fang Ln smiled ruthlessly. ¡°Let your mother handle this matter.¡±
¡°Mom, I¡¯m depending on you now.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t depend on me. As your mother, I can only assist you. You have to depend on yourself. All you have to do is to defeat Fang Xinxin. Don¡¯t worry. She can¡¯t evenpare to a single hair of yours.¡±
¡°I got it.¡± Fang Manxue seemed to recall something.
¡°Mom, even if we¡¯re not in a hurry to seduce Bai Qinghao, we have to bring her home soon. It¡¯s been days since she took the drugs. At this rate, she will start losing weight rapidly. She also hasn¡¯t used those skincare and make-up products for quite some time. If her face recovers, it will be a problem for us.¡±
Fang Ln narrowed her eyes viciously. ¡°Yes, we definitely can¡¯t let her recover!¡±
...
The next morning, Fang Xinxin was woken up by rapid knocks on the bedroom door.
She opened her eyes drowsily and yawned. In an unhappy voice, she said, ¡°Who is this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Liu Li¡¯s agitated voice could be heard from outside.
¡°What is it?¡± Fang Xinxin picked up her phone from her pillow side. She checked the time. ¡°You¡¯re waking me up at six in the morning. Are you crazy?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not early anymore. Usually, we have morning training at 5.30 a.m. Quickly get up. I promise you¡¯ll be so excited that your sleep will vanish!¡± Liu Li¡¯s voice was slightly loud.
Fang Xinxin had no choice but to get dressed and open the bedroom door.
Liu Li spoke with anticipation in his voice. ¡°Fang Xinxin, the winning numbers fromst night¡¯s lottery are out. Guess what? The tickets you bought have won the grand prize. I wanted to wake you uptest night to tell you this. I¡¯ve been holding it in until now. It really wasn¡¯t easy.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She yawnedzily. ¡°I won the grand prize. But why are you so agitated?¡±
¡°Umm, I remember you bought a stack of tickets, right?¡±
¡°Yeah. I bought seventeen of them with identical numbers. I spent six dors eighty cents in total.¡±
¡°All seventeen lottery tickets were bought with the same number?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded her head
¡°Ahh, I¡¯m going crazy!¡± Liu Li appeared as though he could not breathe. ¡°One ticket is worth eight hundred thousand dors. You actually spent six dors eighty cents and won more than thirteen million dors!!!¡±
She wanted to tell him that she also rescued the Gu Group¡¯s Director, Gu Linyuan, and sold him some information to earn a lot of money.
If Liu Li learned about that, would he copse on the ground in shock?
¡°Oh.¡± Fang Xinxin twirled her hair between her fingers. ¡°So, I won the grand prize.¡±
¡°I got it.¡± She had bought the tickets based on her previous memories. She naturally knew she would win the grand prize.
Liu Li stared at her in disbelief. ¡°You won more than thirteen million, ah. Why don¡¯t you look excited?¡± From her reaction, one would think that it was an insignificant amount.
¡°Aiyayayaya! I¡¯m especially happy!¡± Fang Xinxin pretended to dance in joy for a moment. ¡°Is this enough?¡±
Liu Li: ¡°...¡±
¡°Do you still need anything else?¡± she asked.
Liu Li fiddled with his hands in embarrassment. ¡°That... previously, didn¡¯t you say that you spent forty cents on one ticket, and that you¡¯d sell one to me?¡±
She stared at him warily. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±
¡°Haha, naturally, refusing would be impolite. I¡¯ll buy it from you with forty cents, ah.¡± He brought out a few coins and ced it in his palm sincerely.
With a shy smile, he offered them to her. ¡°Here.¡±
Chapter 67: First Step
Chapter 67: First Step
¡°Fuck off...¡± Fang Xinxin rolled her eyes. ¡°I remember you telling me that even if you have the money, you¡¯ll never buy the ticket from me. You imed that the tickets were poisoned...¡±
¡°Err, I was blind and looked down on you. I never expected you to be so lucky!¡± Liu Li immediately sped his hands together.
¡°I dere that your tickets don¡¯t have any poison. In fact, they carry their own fragrance, akin to tickets blessed by heaven. They smell wonderful...¡±
¡°Alright, alright.¡± Fang Xinxin patted him on the shoulder.
She said slowly and seriously, ¡°Little Liu ah, an opportunity that has passed won¡¯t return. Before the results were announced, I offered to sell it to you for forty cents and you refused. At that time, didn¡¯t you appear very certain of your decision? Now, the results are out and forty cents have be eight hundred thousand dors. If you were in my ce, would you sell the tickets for their original price?¡±
He immediately shook his head. ¡°No.¡±
Fang Xinxin nodded and continued. ¡°I wanted to help you strike it rich. Unfortunately, you don¡¯t seem to have the luck. In that case, you can only remain poor.¡±
¡°I¡¯m working for Boss. I¡¯m not poor...¡±
She scanned his face and tutted. ¡°Looking at your sorry appearance, I feel great!¡±
Liu Li appeared as though he was mourning his parents¡¯ death. ¡°Missing out on eight hundred thousand, I feel regretful to the point of wanting to die!¡±
¡°Hahaha! I love this look of yours. Who asked you to call me Fattie Fang? See what happened, I really became fat. My trousers are filled with money. You really blessed me with your words.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Liu Li was extremely envious.
¡°Don¡¯t be too happy. You win some, you lose some. Since you¡¯ve be rich, you¡¯ll definitely suffer in terms of your appearance. You¡¯ll only be fatter and uglier.¡±
¡°Little Liu, ah. Your mouth has lost its power.¡± She sighed.
¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll only let you down. You want me to be ugly, but I¡¯ll be beautiful. You want me to gain more weight, but I¡¯m certain you¡¯ll witness me bing thin.¡±
She turned and headed to the side of the room. Can you see a weighing scale here? She stepped on it and said happily, ¡°Do you see the number? 89.5 kilograms.¡±
¡°You sure have the face to say it.¡± The disdain on Liu Li¡¯s face could not be concealed. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anyone as fat as you. If you convert that, it¡¯s 179 catties! I won¡¯t be surprised if you die from being fat.¡±
¡°I weighed 187 catties a week ago. I¡¯ve already lost 8 catties in the past few days!¡± Fang Xinxin responded happily. ¡°This means I¡¯ve taken the first significant step in my endeavor to lose weight.¡±
¡°No matter how much weight you lose, you¡¯ll never be a slender and virtuous woman.¡± Liu Li¡¯s heart was bleeding. His eight hundred thousand...
¡°I lost 8 catties without even exercising. Say, if I start to exercise, wouldn¡¯t I lose even more weight?¡± She walked out and descended the stairs happily.
¡°I¡¯m going for a run for two hours. Afterward... when the lottery center is open, this queen shall go and collect her grand prize. Of course, I¡¯ll have to cover myself up fully. I¡¯ll dress up as Spiderman. Otherwise, god knows who may rob me. Hahaha...¡±
Liu Li stared at her receding back. He was really bleeding with envy.
He was a veteran who had been buying lottery tickets for the past ten years. He bought one every week but only ever won five dors. Why were their luck so iparable?
Fang Xinxin would never tell him she had experienced these events before, and knew the winning numbers for this week.
Unfortunately, this was the only opportunity she had. She hadn¡¯t paid much attention to the other winning numbers.
After changing into a set of casualwear, Fang Xinxin went for a run around the Yu Ting Vi.
The Yu Ting Vi covered a significant amount ofnd. It was not as small as any normal vis.
There was a pool, a garden, a golf course, a private gym, and living quarters for the maids and bodyguards... she had ess to everything she could possibly need.
Chapter 68: Chenxi Has Come To Seduce
Chapter 68: Chenxi Has Come To Seduce
With her slow pace, one round around the vi would take her thirty minutes toplete.
Fang Xinxin began her morning run. Several hundred meters in, her overweight figure was panting badly.
For the sake of losing weight, she could only grit her teeth and persist. Whenever she lost the strength to run, she would walk. After recovering, she would continuewith her run.
Bai Qinghao stood on the second floor¡¯s study room balcony. His cold gaze was fixed attentively on Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure as she alternated between running and walking.
His bodyguard, Liu Li, stood behind him.
Liu Li thought darkly to himself. ¡°That woman is so fat. What¡¯s so interesting about her? Boss¡¯s taste is really too unique.¡±
Liu Li wanted to ask him. ¡°Boss, are you attracted to fat women? If you are, I can help you bring more of them here.¡±
Bai Qinghao noticed that Fang Xinxin was drinking cold mineral water in between her runs and frowned subconsciously.
Two hourster, Fang Xinxin returned to the vi¡¯s living room covered in sweat.
Ji Qing, the maid, immediately brought forward a clean towel.
Fang Xinxin received it and wiped herself dry.
The dining room had already prepared a feast for breakfast.
She scanned the ce. ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°The young master has gone to thepany,¡± Ji Qing responded.
¡°Oh.¡± She picked up a french pastry from the dining table and bit into it.
Ji Qing then spoke up expressionlessly. ¡°Miss Fang, in the future, please do not drink cold water when you run in the morning.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her. ¡°You don¡¯t seem like someone who would be concerned about me.¡±
¡°Young Master instructed me to say so.¡±
¡°I see. He¡¯s that concerned about me.¡± Fang Xinxin felt that her breakfast today was especially sweet.
After breakfast, Fang Xinxin changed into a different outfit. She made sure to cover herself from head to toe, revealing only her eyes and left to collect her prize. After twenty percent of the sum was subtracted for tax, she had the lottery center transfer the rest of the money to her ount.
Post that, she visited a public restroom to change her clothes and took a cab back to the Yu Ting Vi.
She was really enjoying living at Bai Qinghao¡¯s ce.
She strolled along the vi¡¯s garden. As she neared the main mansion, she saw that Bai Chenxi was standing on one of the cobblestone paths beneath the shade.
He was wearing a pink t-shirt with a v-neck cor and had paired it with casual white pants. His figure was slender and tall. Apanied with his handsome and gentle features, he appeared to be a refined man.
In the past, whenever Fang Xinxin saw him, she would often stare at him dazedly.
Right now... all she felt was disgust.
Fang Xinxin pretended not to see him. She did not take a different route though, and walked directly past him.
Bai Chenxi had intentionally positioned himself under the shade, where a little sunlight could reach him, making him appear especially attractive.
Originally, he thought Fang Xinxin would reveal her lovesick expression as soon as she saw him.
In the past, didn¡¯t this hideous woman always behave like that?
Much to his surprise, Fang Xinxin walked right past him.
He stared at her for more than ten seconds, waiting for her to look back. As the distance between them grew, she still did not show the slightest hint of slowing down.
Hence, he had no choice but to speak up. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
But the fat woman did not halt and entered the vi¡¯s living room.
He furrowed his brows in disdain. Could it be that the disgusting woman did not hear him?
He could only head into the vi¡¯s mansion.
Inside the living room, Bai Chenxi saw that Fang Xinxin was nowhere to be found. He asked one of the maids standing there. ¡°Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°She went up to the main bedroom on the third floor.¡±
Without permission, Bai Chenxi could not go up to the second or the third floor. ¡°Please tell her that Bai Chenxi is here to visit.¡±
He did not know where to vent his anger.
In the past, whenever he made a call or left a message, Fang Xinxin always dashed out to see him.
Chapter 69: Secret Date?
Chapter 69: Secret Date?
Since yesterday, Bai Chenxi had called her several times and left her a lot of messages. But she did not respond to even one of them and all his calls went unanswered.
This fat woman was putting on airs!
¡°Sure. Please wait for a moment.¡± Ji Qing spoke respectfully and headed to the third floor.
Several momentster, she returned to inform him. ¡°Miss Fang says she does not wish to see you.¡±
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression turned slightly poor. ¡°I didn¡¯te here to see her. I came by to greet my cousin, Bai Qinghao, and wanted to say hello to her at the same time. After all, we are acquainted with each other.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to exin this to a servant like me.¡±
Bai Chenxi did not continue wasting his breath. He turned to stare at the stairs and deliberated if it was worth the risk running up to visit Fang Xinxin. However, his fear of Bai Qinghao led him to give up the idea.
After dilly-dallying for two hours, he still did not see Fang Xinxin. Finally, he left with a gloomy expression.
That night, Bai Qinghao came homete and Fang Xinxin did not manage to see him. The next morning, when she woke up, he had already left for work.
Fang Xinxin felt that Bai Qinghao seemed to be avoiding her.
Bai Chenxi came to visit again, but still could not see Fang Xixin.
He was starting to believe that the ugly woman was afraid to see him. The more she feared meeting him, the more it indicated that he held an important position in her heart.
Thus, Bai Chenxi¡¯s head was filled with confidence.
On the evening of the third day, as Fang Xinxin went around the Yu Ting Vi for her run, Bai Chenxi suddenly came there and started following her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, stop right there!¡±
She pretended not to hear him and continued running.
He ran ahead to block her path. ¡°I told you to stop. Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡±
Fang Xinxin finally paused and looked at him coldly. ¡°Do you need anything?¡±
Bai Chenxi took in her cold attitude and spoke impatiently. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re going too far!¡±
She lifted her brows. ¡°What does that mean?¡±
¡°I came to the Yu Ting Vi to visit you twice, and you intentionally avoided me on both asions. Do you find this funny?¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
¡°This is the third time I¡¯m here to look for you. I won¡¯t endure this anymore. If you do this again, I really won¡¯t pay you any more attention!¡±
Fang Xinxin casually crossed her arms and sized him up disdainfully. She was toozy to even respond to his words.
The two of them were unaware that Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure was hidden in a corner away from their sights.
¡°I know I made a mistake previously.¡± Bai Chenxi intentionally sounded vague. He would never admit he had cheated her into eloping with him and backed out midway, or that he arranged for the car ident so that Bai Qinghao coulde to the hospital to catch them in the act.
¡°When was this previously?¡± She was quite interested in what he had to say.
This was the Yu Ting Vi. She trusted that Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were constantly on them.
In fact, she wouldn¡¯t be surprised if Bai Qinghao himself was watching them right now.
Bai Chenxi was also a smart man. He wouldn¡¯t say anything that he wasn¡¯t supposed to.
¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just, previously at the hospital, Bai Qinghao misunderstood the both of us. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t believe in our innocence.¡± As expected, Bai Chenxi spoke warily and did not say anything inappropriate that could be used against him.
¡°You know that I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman, yet you came to the Yu Ting Vi to look for me. Aren¡¯t you afraid of Bai Qinghaoing after you?¡± Fang Xinxin was unruffled as she asked him with a quirk of her brow.
Bai Chenxi scanned their surroundings warily. He had a lot to say but could only restrain himself. ¡°As I said, I came here to greet my cousin. He wasn¡¯t here. You and I have been acquainted for many years. So I wanted to use this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding between us.¡±
After saying this loudly, he lowered his voice so that only Fang Xinxin could hear him. ¡°Three hourter, let¡¯s meet at Ya Yue Cafe.¡±
Chapter 70: Ain’t I Your Fiancée?
Chapter 70: Ain¡¯t I Your Fianc¨¦e?
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
He did not give Fang Xinxin the opportunity to refuse him and immediately turned to leave.
Bai Qinghao stared at both of them with a frigid face.
Bai Chenxi had intentionally lowered his volume at the end and Bai Qinghao did not catch what he said.
Did Bai Chenxi think he could fool him just like that?
Bai Qinghao sneered in disdain.
Fang Xinxin continued with her evening jog. After she was some distance away, a bodyguard appeared behind Bai Qinghao. ¡°Boss, Bai Chenxi asked Miss Fang to meet him at Yue Ya Cafe three hourster.¡±
He had received his boss¡¯s order to stand right across Bai Chenxi, and used his night vision device to observe Bai Chenxi¡¯s actions minutely. When Bai Chenxi intentionally lowered his voice, he had paid close attention to the movement of his lips.
Thus, Bai Chenxi failed to conceal anything from the Commander.
Bai Qinghao gazed darkly at Fang Xinxin¡¯s disappearing back. If she dared to meet Bai Chenxi today, she shouldn¡¯t me him for being ruthless!
Fang Xinxin felt a strong, sharp gaze piercing her back. Aside from Bai Qinghao, no one could have such a tyrannical and oppressive aura.
She sighed in her heart. As expected, Bai Qinghao had been watching them.
She ran for another thirty minutes. When she returned to the living room, Bai Qinghao was seated on the sofa, flipping through a newspaper. There was a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of him.
¡°It¡¯s been three days. I finally get to see you.¡± She approached him happily.
It seemed like Bai Qinghao could not even be bothered to look at her. His cold gaze remained fixed on the newspaper.
¡°Have you been very busy? You¡¯ve been leaving early and returningte. I haven¡¯t even caught a whiff of you.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone was slightly dissatisfied.
On the surface, Bai Qinghao appeared cold and unruffled. In reality, he was concealing a lot of rage.
Earlier, she had clearly heard Bai Chenxi asking her out, yet she did not refuse him.
Adding this matter to the previous one, where she refused to sleep on the same bed as him, he felt his anger intensifying!
She intentionally sat down by his side and whispered into his ear. ¡°Have you been ignoring me?¡±
¡°You are thinking too much.¡± He harrumphed coldly. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± He would never admit he had been attentive to all of her movements for the past few days.
¡°Ain¡¯t I your fianc¨¦e?¡± She responded with a question.
His sharp gazended on her. ¡°Good. Remember your identity!¡± Don¡¯t do anything out of line.
Regardless if she had Bai Chenxi in her heart, he would not tolerate the slightest grain of sand in his eye.
¡°I got it,. I¡¯ll remember this for the rest of my life.¡± She pretended not to notice his dark expression. The run had left her covered in sweat. She headed upstairs to wash up.
Bai Qinghao appeared deep in thought as he watched her walk away.
Did she say that to pacify him, or was she truly willing to be his woman for the rest of her life?
Irrespective, he would never let go of her!
Time passed slowly. Two hourster, Fang Xinxin came downstairs.
She had spent thirty minutes washing up and one hour and thirty minutes catching up on news from the stock market.
For the past few days, she had invested all her money in stocks. Relying on her memory, she had managed to buy a lot of them at low prices and earned a lot of profit. She had already made quite a killing!
She came down to check if Bai Qinghao was still in the living room. To her surprise, Fang Ln, who was dressed like a noble, wealthy woman, entered the living room.
When Fang Ln saw her daughter descending the spiral stairs, she immediately approached her warmly. ¡°Brat!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already 9.00 in the night. ¡°Mom, why are you here at this time?¡±
¡°I missed you.¡± Fang Ln pretended to be emotional and held Fang Xinxin in her arms.
Chapter 71: A Pile Of Trash
Chapter 71: A Pile Of Trash
¡°I wanted to visit you earlier, but I¡¯ve been too busy withpany matters. I left for a business trip this morning and only just returned. I didn¡¯t even go home and came straight to the Yu Ting Vi to look for you.¡±
If it had been in the past, the sight of her mother prattling on about how much she missed her would surely have moved Fang Xinxin to tears.
However, right now, she waspletely unaffected.
Perhaps, too much had happened in their previous life. She had been thoroughly disappointed by her mother.
At the time, after losing her eyesight, she had made a call to her mother. Fang Ln had advised her not to rush, andforted her that her vision would surely return.
She had even said she would visit her when she got the time.
That one time when her mother actually visited her, her false concern had left her feeling especially moved.
Right before Fang Ln had left, she made her sign a document, iming it was to help her buy a small condo. Fang Ln had told her that she was worried about Bai Qinghao chasing her out now that she had lost her sight. She was doing this to ensure that Fang Xinxin still had a ce to live in.
At the time, she did not harbor any suspicions. Without her eyesight, she could not read the contents of the contract and could only follow her mother¡¯s direction to sign the paper.
She had thought that Fang Ln¡¯s heart was genuinely aching for her.
In the end, it turned out the contract was not for the so-called condo, but to transfer thepany, which Bai Qinghao had given her, to her mother¡¯s name.
Bai Qinghao had specially prepared thatpany for her as an alternative lifeline.
At that time, his health had already deteriorated and his heart caused problems periodically.
Thus, he opened apany under her name with his money. He had assigned someone, whom he trusted, to manage it. Thepany produced hundreds of millions of annual profit, and there were dividends to be collected every quarter.
All she needed to do was to wait and collect those dividends.
Bai Qinghao gave her a fantastic gift, and her mother had easily fooled her into giving it away.
What made her even more miserable, was that she did not actually value that money. Despite being blind, she was well-taken care of by Bai Qinghao.
What she truly valued was her mother and sister.
In the end, the money,pany, gifts, and many other priceless items Bai Qinghao had gifted her...
She was deceived into giving away all of the valuable items to Fang Manxue, and Fang Ln.
Her condition worsened from just being blind to bing paralysed, yet her mother and sister did not visit even once unless they needed something from her.
They were always after the things and money that Bai Qinghao had given her, or to seek benefits from Bai Qinghao...
As a result, even Bai Qinghao grew wary of giving her things. Within a blink of an eye, they would fall into Fang Ln and Fang Manxue¡¯s pockets.
Whenever she needed the two of them, her calls to them wouldn¡¯t go through, and they would always insist that they were abroad.
Fang Ln had never shown her true colours in front of her and always maintained a peaceful, caring facade.
However, in truth...
Once, after bing paralysed and blind, she had begged Bai Qinghao to let her visit the Fang family home. She had not informed her family beforehand because she wanted to surprise them.
She had sat in her wheelchair right outside the Fang family¡¯s vi entrance. From where she sat, she could hear her mother and second sister discuss her.
Her heart truly was broken that day. Her mother had said, ¡°Fang Xinxin, that paralysed and blind waste! Bai Qinghao is the only one who could possibly treasure the pile of trash that she is!¡±
Chapter 72: Not An Inconvenience
Chapter 72: Not An Inconvenience
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Exactly. She¡¯s too disgusting. Only that Bai Qinghao could be blind enough to treasure her!¡± This had been her second sister¡¯s voice.
¡°She¡¯s really a pile of trash, aplete waste of space!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s tone had been vicious. However, she had been alert and quickly noticed Fang Xinxin¡¯s presence.
Fang Xinxin recalled how she waspletely dumbstruck at that moment.
She had always loved her mother and second sister deeply. To think that they would talk about her in this manner.
¡°Mom, it turns out that in your heart, I¡¯m trash and a waste of space!¡± At the time, she had raged in heartache. ¡°Don¡¯t forget though that all the power and wealth that you own today, was given by me.¡±
¡°Tsk. What do you have to do with the Fang family¡¯s power? Stop putting on airs. You know better than anyone how useless you are. If I were you, I would already have killed myself.¡± Fang Manxue had been unapologetic after being seen through. Instead, she mocked her further.
At the time, her mother¡¯s usually warm expression had also turned cold. She did not say a single word tofort her.
In fact, she had told her that a married daughter was akin to water that had been sshed onto the ground. Her life and death was unrted to the Fang family henceforth.
By then, Bai Qinghao was no longer giving her much, due to his fear of her giving it away to her mother and second sister. Fang Ln could no longer obtain any benefits from her and was uninterested in maintaining the facade of loving her.
Afterwards, she did not stay in the Fang home and returned to the Yu Ting Vi.
In her misery, she had learned that, when she was at her wit¡¯s end, the only person she could still rely on was, Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin returned to the present and pushed Fang Ln away. ¡°Don¡¯t hug me. The Commander willugh at us.¡±
Since the moment Fang Ln entered, she had noticed Bai Qinghao seated on the sofa.
Although she had pretended to be warm towards Fang Xinxin, she could not be bothered to hold her.
She had only forced herself to do so to put on a show of ¡®deep feelings between mother and daughter¡¯ for the Commander.
This was to encourage him to care more for the Fang family.
¡°It¡¯s true.¡± A loving expression appeared on Fang Ln¡¯s face. ¡°Our Xinxin is already neen years old, yet she seems like a child that won¡¯t grow up.¡±
Her performance depicted a loving mother that doted on Fang Xinxin to the extreme.
Fang Ln nced at Bai Qinghao who was reading a newspaper.
She was his future mother-inw. No matter what, he still needed to stand up and greet her, didn¡¯t he?
However, Bai Qinghao was a cold and ruthless man and his actions never fulfilled anyone¡¯s expectations.
With his position and status, even the president had to give in to him, much less a future mother-inw.
Even after twenty seconds, he still did not move.
Fang Ln could only walk up to him. ¡°Qinghao, ah, I didn¡¯t expect you to still be awake at this time.¡±
She had called his name intimately to remove the distance between them.
In reaction, Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows slightly. His gaze shifted towards Fang Xinxin, as though to give her face. But he did not say a single word in response.
Without Fang Xinxin, it would have been impossible for Fang Ln to enter the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Ln ignored his reaction and said warmly, ¡°Qinghao, our Xinxin has been a guest in your Yu Ting Vi and has disturbed you for so many days. It must have been a great inconvenience.¡±
Guest... inconvenience.
Her words of appreciation were in fact meant to draw a clear line between Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin had finally understood that her mother intended to separate Bai Qinghao and herself, and to help Fang Manxue marry Bai Qinghao instead.
Bai Qinghao was an intelligent man. He naturally understood Fang Ln¡¯s hidden words. He spoke up coldly. ¡°It isn¡¯t an inconvenience. Fang Xinxin is my fianc¨¦e. This is her home.¡±

Chapter 73: Thank CEO Bai For His Love
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Fang Xinxin was moved yet again by his response. Bai Qinghao¡¯s home was her home.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ln felt enraged.
Her daughter, Fang Manxue, has been doing her best to please him. Why did his heart only contain Fang Xinxin, this whore?
Despite her anger, she maintained her pleasant facade. ¡°CEO Bai, you treat our family¡¯s Xinxin so well. Xinxin really cannot afford this fortune.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned cold and his expression was filled with unhappiness. ¡°Who says that she can¡¯t afford it?¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s slightly wrinkled yet attractive face stiffened. She did not dare to refute him.
¡°Since you say she can afford it, she most definitely can.¡± She turned to Fang Xinxin sternly. ¡°Quickly, thank CEO Bai for his love.¡±
Fang Xinxin responded. ¡°Thank you.¡±
On the surface, her mother treated her well. However, she only insisted for Fang Xinxin to carry out the formalities to provoke Bai Qinghao.
In her past life, she had seen through this but she still wanted to be an obedient daughter.
Right now... Fang Ln¡¯s words meant less than even a fart.
However, her personality was slightly mean. She enjoyed watching Bai Qinghao¡¯s emotions fluctuate in his eyes.
As expected, Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone immediately turned stormy. ¡°A word of thanks is all you have to say?¡±
Fang Xinxin asked him calmly. ¡°What more do you want then?¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and sized her up. ¡°What method could you use topensate me?¡±
His gaze clearly indicated his interest in her figure. He was asking for a payment with her body.
Fang Ln watched their interaction and found that something was amiss.
She turned to look at Fang Xinxin. Surely, this bitch seemed to have changed.
In the past, didn¡¯t she always appear somewhat frightened whenever she saw Bai Qinghao? Right now... why did it seem like that was no longer the case?
Fang Ln felt that she could not allow the two of them to interact closely any longer. ¡°CEO Bai, as you understand, our Xinxin is still a university student. She has nothing to her name and couldn¡¯t possiblypensate you. With your position and status, there¡¯s also no way you would take a liking to her...¡±
Even though she had clearly seen his interest in Fang Xinxin, she insisted on changing the focus to wealth.
¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Qinghao shot her an unhappy look. ¡°Who gave you the permission to prattle on in front of me?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Ln¡¯splexion turned slightly pale.
Although the Fang Group relied on Bai Qinghao for their sess, Fang Ln was still the director of a mid-rangepany. Most people had to address her as, ¡®Director Fang¡¯ when they saw her. When did she have to lower herself in this manner? She was absolutely infuriated!
¡°Qinghao, no matter what, I¡¯m still your elder and your future mother-inw. Can¡¯t you show me a little respect...¡± No matter what, she needed to make Fang Manxue marry Bai Qinghao as quickly as possible!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted from Fang Xinxin towards Fang Ln and his tone was mocking. ¡°Respect is given to those who deserve it. Do you?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯splexion was pale. ¡°Qinghao, have you misunderstood something about me?¡±
Manxue had already told her about Fang Xinxin mentioning about her living poorly in the Fang home to Bai Qinghao.
She red angrily at Fang Xinxin from the corner of her eyes. She would settle this debtter!
Bai Qinghao was extremely intelligent and did not fall for her trap. ¡°What do you think I could possibly misunderstand about you?¡±
Fang Ln was also a smart person. She naturally understood the only person Bai Qinghao could be concerned about was Fang Xinxin. ¡°It must have been Xinxin. This child, she must have gone toin to you after bickering with me.¡±
Chapter 74: Die Due To Obesity
Chapter 74: Die Due To Obesity
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°She must have told you that she¡¯s been living poorly in the Fang home, didn¡¯t she? Qinghao, look, our Xinxin is really overweight. She is used to eating a lot. I was afraid that she would make herself sick, and I wanted her to lose some weight. I refused to give her allowance because I was worried she would spend it on food. She¡¯s always been a greedy eater. She must have been unhappy with me and came to the Yu Ting Vi on a sulk. Looking at the Yu Ting Vi, I expect that the food and amodation here is much better than what the Fang home can offer. Xinxin must have been attracted to the luxury of the Yu Ting Vi, and has grown to dislike the Fang home because of that.¡±
With her words, she easily provided a reasonable rationale, arguing that the Fang family had treated Fang Xinxin poorly but with good intentions in mind. She also subtly hinted that Fang Xinxin was thirsty for Bai Qinghao¡¯s money and luxury.
In their previous life, upon hearing these words, Fang Xinxin had assumed her mother genuinely had good intentions in mind and wanted to help her lose weight.
She had assumed that Fang Ln did not mean much by everything else she said.
Yet, right now, as Fang Xinxin took in her mother¡¯s loving expression, she wondered why it sounded so fake.
¡°Mom, when did you ever tell me to lose weight?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her coldly.
¡°For the past few years, you¡¯ve been saying that I¡¯m too thin, thin to the point where it¡¯s hard for you to watch.¡±
She pointed at herself. ¡°Look at me. Previously, I was extremely overweight, yet you insisted I was too thin. You even became unhappy when I tried to eat less, and forced the food down my throat. Which of these actions indicate that you were trying to help me lose weight?¡±
Fang Ln did not expect the usually weak Fang Xinxin to tear down her lies. Her expression became awkward immediately.
In the past, even if she was wronged or aggrieved, Fang Xinxin would only lower her head silently. She was really rebelling now!
Fang Xinxin had never been a fool. She just loved her mother too much.
As a result, she allowed her mother to treat her as she pleased. However, were Fang Ln¡¯s actions truly appropriate as a mother?
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce right through Fang Ln. ¡°Are you trying to kill Fang Xinxin with obesity?¡±
His words were not spoken in a jest.
Based on Fang Xinxin¡¯s words, it seemed like Fang Ln was truly trying to fatten Fang Xinxin up, and slowly kill her.
Rage began to fill his heart.
Fang Ln only received a single look, yet she felt herself being frozen alive. She could not help but tremble. ¡°CEO Bai, what are you saying. How could I possibly wish for Xinxin to die? I¡¯m usually flooded with work at thepany and may have failed tomunicate my intentions well. As a parent, I always hope to see my children a little rounder. It makes me feel that they are blessed with good luck. But Xinxin became this fat on her own. Her being able to gain so much weight also indicates that the Fang family has never treated her poorly. Isn¡¯t that right, my daughter?¡±
She gave Fang Xinxin a loving look which also held a subtle warning.
¡°When ites to some matters, the truth is indisputable.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered coldly.
With her current appearance, indeed, only a ghost would believe the Fang family treated her poorly.
But she would not expose them right now. Instead, she would bring Bai Qinghao to personally witness how the Fang family had ¡®fattened¡¯ her up.
As for her mother¡¯s mention of her greed towards Bai Qinghao¡¯s wealth...
He would learn about it, slowly.
She, Fang Xinxin, did not value any of his material possessions. In this lifetime, she would love him the way she treasured her own life.
Bai Qinghao appeared to be deep in thought.
Chapter 75: She Chose Her Mother
Chapter 75: She Chose Her Mother
He understood that Fang Xinxin wanted him to witness the evidence of their mistreatment with his own eyes.
It seemed that Fang Manxue had informed Fang Ln about him getting to know of their behavior.
But based on Fang Ln¡¯s fool-proof method of operating, all the evidence of Fang Xinxin¡¯s poor experience would probably already be destroyed.
There was no way to revisit the truth.
That was fine. He could continue taking care of Fang Xinxin, and ensure that she would not suffer the slightest grievance again.
¡°All right, my daughter, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore.¡± Fang Ln was worried Bai Qinghao would cause more trouble for her.
She rushed to Fang Xinxin and said, ¡°It¡¯s not early anymore. It¡¯s also impolite for you to keep troubling CEO Bai. Come home with Mom.¡±
¡°I already said she¡¯s not imposing on me. Is there any problem with your ears?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was frigid.
Fang Ln spoke with an apologetic smile. ¡°CEO Bai, I understand that you treat our Xinxin well. But our Xinxin is still a student. She isn¡¯t officially married to you. If she stays in the Yu Ting Vi for a long period, people outside will gossip that her actions are unrestrained. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t wish for outsiders to point fingers at her, do you?¡±
Bai Qinghao turned to Fang Xinxin coldly. ¡°What do you think?¡±
Fang Xinxin genuinely did not wish to leave the Yu Ting Vi. She wanted to remain by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
She did not care for the outsiders¡¯ opinions whatsoever. Most people wanted to enter the Yu Ting Vi but could not manage to even touch the door handle.
Rather than being the topic of gossip, if she stayed at the Yu Ting Vi, it was more likely that everyone would be green with envy.
However, aside from love, she still had many matters to resolve.
For example, how did her brother, Fang Shaohua, who always loved and doted on her, end up in jail?
Moreover, she needed to gather evidence of Fang Manxue drugging her food...
Those could only be aplished at the Fang home.
¡°I have to go home with my mom.¡± Fang Xinxin decided helplessly.
Upon hearing her words, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression immediately turned dark. Did she wish to leave him that badly?
Could it be that the feelings she seemed to be showing for him during the past few days were all fabricated?
The newspaper Bai Qinghao held in his hand was almost crushed beyond recognition.
A strong, cold aura was emitting from him. Fang Ln felt her legs weaken.
Fang Xinxin noticed a sh of pain in Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and heavy gaze.
This man wished to hold her back, yet, he was too proud and could not bring himself to say it.
In an instant, she felt her heart aching painfully.
Half a beatter, Bai Qinghao turned to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Since you wish to return that much... do as you like.¡±
¡°Thank you CEO Bai, Thank you CEO Bai,¡± Fang Ln bowed down gratefully to him and held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand to leave the vi.
Fang Xinxin turned back to look at his stiff posture as he sat on the sofa. His figure appeared especially lonesome. She spoke up softly. ¡°When you¡¯re free,e and visit me.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was cold. He did not agree nor did he refuse.
No one could see through his thoughts.
When the two of them went away, Liu Li finally spoke up. ¡°Boss, please don¡¯t waste your thoughts on Fang Xinxin. She is a materialistic woman. You see, even her own mother said she is coveting your wealth.¡±
Bai Qinghao immediately red at him. ¡°Do you have the right to speak poorly about Fang Xinxin? Scram! Go and run five thousand meters!¡±
Liu Li was frightened into silence. He really did not have the courage to ask for mercy, yet he tried again. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m tired after the whole day. I really can¡¯t run...¡±
¡°Ten thousand meters!¡±
¡°Yes...¡± Liu Li did not dare say anything further. He turned and left with stooped shoulders.
Chapter 76: Sending You To Your Date (1)

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Liu Li believed that it was likely to take him the entire night to finish the assigned quota of running.
He clearly knew that his boss liked Fang Xinxin and could only me himself for having a free-flowing mouth. He genuinely could not hold himself back from speaking poorly about Fang Xinxin. Sigh!
Although Bai Qinghao was upset that Fang Xinxin had left, he did not forget that Bai Chenxi had invited her to meet at 10:00 p.m. tonight at the Yue Ya Cafe.
He looked at the clock hung on the wall. There were only ten minutes till their agreed time.
He lifted his hand. A young man dressed in a suit immediately approached from the shadows. ¡°Boss, what are your orders?¡±
¡°Keep your eyes on Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark. If Fang Xinxin dared to meet up with Bai Chenxi, her death was guaranteed!
...
Fang Ln pulled Fang Xinxin towards the BMW parked on the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard.
Fang Ln sat in the driver¡¯s seat while Fang Xinxin took the passenger¡¯s seat next to her.
The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s gates opened grandly and they drove out. Fang Ln felt that having the opportunity to drive out of the Yu Ting Vi was also a form of glory.
Fang Xinxin, this bitch, actually had the good fortune to stay here for so many days.
The thought of this really caused her to be angry.
All of this, including Bai Qinghao, rightfully belonged to Fang Manxue!
Fang Ln began reprimanding her as she drove. ¡°Xinxin ah, mom doesn¡¯t wish to scold you, but you haven¡¯t returned home in so many days. Do you know how worried I¡¯ve been?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve known from the start I was at the Yu Ting Vi. What was there for you to worry about?¡±
Fang Ln said piteously, ¡°You are my blood and flesh. How could I possibly not fret about you? I know, previously at the Fang home, you¡¯ve been eating and living poorly, and that you have your resentments. But think about it. You¡¯re overweight. Although I used the wrong method, I simply wanted to help you lose some weight. You won¡¯t me me for this, will you?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
Fang Ln had nowhere to vent her anger. ¡°Did you know that ever since Bai Qinghao found out about this minor problem, he retracted the eighty million dors contract that he had previously offered to the Fang family!¡±
¡°The Fang family has never been able to obtain such a valuable contract ever, and this was ruined by you.¡±
She nagged endlessly along the way, as though all the me belonged to Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin mocked her coldly. ¡°Fang Manxue said that I¡¯m poor. I simply mentioned the treatment I have experienced in the Fang home. Fang Manxue was the one who lost your contract. Instead of ming her for having a loose mouth, you came here to criticize me?¡±
Fang Ln was surprised that Fang Xinxin was talking back to her again. She immediately responded calmly. ¡°Your second sister didn¡¯t mean any harm.¡±
¡°Do you mean that it was my intention to cause harm to thepany?¡± In any case, Fang Xinxin had been intentional in her actions.
The Fang family had taken advantage of her status repeatedly to extract variousrge and small projects from Bai Qinghao¡¯s pockets.
In the future, they shouldn¡¯t even dream about borrowing her name to gain advantages from Bai Qinghao again!
Fang Ln did not believe that Fang Xinxin was genuinely trying to harm thepany. The Fang Xinxin she knew was but a cowardly little thing.
Fang Ln scolded her. ¡°All right, stop throwing a tantrum. We can¡¯t lose the eighty million dor contract. We¡¯ll let this matter rest for a few days. The next time you see Bai Qinghao, remember to ask him to return the contract.¡±
Fang Xinxin snorted.
The car navigated through the city center and was not headed for the Fang family home.
¡°Mom, where are we going?¡± Fang Xinxin was instantly suspicious.
¡°Didn¡¯t you agree to meet Bai Chenxi at 10.00p.m. at the Yue Ya Cafe?¡± Fang Ln responded.
¡°Chenxi, that child, called me to say that there are some misunderstandings between the two of you. He is already waiting for you there. I¡¯ll send you over right now.¡±
Chapter 77: Sending You To Your Date (2)
Chapter 77: Sending You To Your Date (2)
In their previous life, Fang Ln had forcefully brought her to meet Bai Chenxi exactly in this manner.
Afterward, Fang Ln had made a phone call to Bai Qinghao where she imed that Fang Xinxin told her that she arranged to meet Bai Qinghao at the Yue Ya Cafe. She had pretended to be concerned and asked Bai Qinghao as to when he would send her home.
With her phone call, Fang Ln had managed to mislead him and ensured her own innocence. As a result, Bai Qinghao misunderstood that Fang Xinxin had gone to meet her lover again after lying to her mother!
In actuality, even in her previous life, she had refused to meet Bai Chenxi at this time.
This was because... she was scared of Bai Qinghao.
In the end, she was betrayed by her own mother but remained blind to the fact.
Fang Xinxin kept her phone away from her mother¡¯s sight and opened up her WeChat. She sent Bai Qinghao a message asking him to answer her video call without making any noise.
She then muted her phone and dialed Bai Qinghao¡¯s number.
This way, there wouldn¡¯t be any sound from their call.
Bai Qinghao answered her call quickly. She adjusted the microphone volume to the highest so that he could hear their conversation clearly.
As she had already sent him a message, she did not worry that Bai Qinghao would make any noise.
After doing this, she said, ¡°Mom, even if Bai Chenxi is waiting for me at Yue Ya Cafe, I don¡¯t wish to see him. Don¡¯t force me to go. Besides, since when have the two of you been on speaking terms? He actually called you to make arrangements to meet me?¡±
¡°That¡¯s because he was worried that you won¡¯te.¡± Fang Ln was focused on driving and did not notice that Fang Xinxin had called Bai Qinghao.
¡°Bai Chenxi is the person-in-charge of the Chen Xi Enterprise. He is an outstanding man with a good family background. He treats you well. The two of you are childhood friends, and most importantly, you like...¡±
At this moment, Fang Xinxin keenly sensed that Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression had to be really dark.
She nced at the screen. Although the call was connected, all she could see was a patch of blurry grey. She guessed that Bai Qinghao had covered the camera with something.
Still, she was sure that he could hear their conversation clearly.
Fang Xinxin rushed to speak up. ¡°I grew up interacting with a lot of people. I¡¯m only acquainted with Bai Chenxi. How could we possibly count as childhood friends? I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I don¡¯t like anyone else. Why do you and my second sister keep trying to pair us up? Aren¡¯t you afraid that Bai Qinghao will be angry when he finds out?¡±
Fang Ln nced at Fang Xinxin in suspicion. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, how will Bai Qinghao find out? And who says you don¡¯t like Bai Chenxi? Whenever you see him, your eyes are shining.¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at the screen involuntarily. All she could see was ck.
It seemed to hint at Bai Qinghao¡¯s currently dark feelings. It was likely her life would be as dark as this after the conversation.
¡°That¡¯s because I¡¯m filial. I tried to make my eyes shine each time I saw Bai Chenxi.¡± Fang Xinxin answered calmly.
¡°You and my sister are always nagging me and forcing me to like Bai Chenxi. It¡¯s really hard to do something that goespletely against my own feelings. Mom, although you both always talk about how great Bai Chenxi is, I don¡¯t find him attractive at all. I hate him!¡±
As expected, after saying this, the pitch-ck screen returned to the earlier grey color. It seemed like she could still reverse the situation.
Fang Ln reprimanded her.¡±Why do you have such poor eyes for judging people...¡±
¡°I¡¯m good at judging people. I think Bai Qinghao is great.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t good. His personality is violent. He is cold and heartless. He doesn¡¯t suit you at all.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s tone was resolute and firm.
Chapter 78: Sending You To Your Date (3)

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Fang Xinxin asked her casually. ¡°Then, who does he suit?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s...¡± Fang Ln was about to answer when she paused to look at her in suspicion. ¡°Xinxin, why do you have so much to say today?¡±
Fang Xinxin ced her phone in her pocket. The call remained connected and the camera was out of the pocket. This was so that it could capture most of the situation.
¡°Isn¡¯t it because we haven¡¯t chatted in a long time? I wanted to connect with you more.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Ln did not suspect Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin was usually obedient and filial. She would also often say things to please her.
¡°Xinxin, if you really wish to be obedient, go and meet Bai Chenxi. Properly develop your rtionship with him,¡± Fang Ln put on the facade of a sincere and earnest elder.
¡°Listen to Mom. Bai Qinghao is really not suitable for you. You belong with Bai Chenxi.¡±
¡°I already said I don¡¯t like Bai Chenxi. I don¡¯t want to go meet him.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to get angry. ¡°If you like him so much, go and date him yourself!¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s expression turned stern. ¡°How can you speak like this? Your mom is already at this age. As if I could date him.¡±
¡°Let me off the car!¡±
¡°What are you trying to do? We¡¯re almost there.¡± Fang Ln locked the doors, making it impossible for Fang Xinxin to open the door and jump out.
After five minutes, Fang Ln parked the car outside Yue Ya Cafe. ¡°We¡¯re here. You can alight now!¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°You¡¯re already here. I told you to go meet him. Quickly go!¡± Fang Ln urged her.
Fang Xinxin remained seated in the car.
At this moment, Bai Chenxi nced out of the cafe and noticed the two of them. He came out of the cafe and pretended to cry out with excitement. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re here!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯te to see you. My mom brought me here forcefully!¡±
¡°All right, I know that you¡¯re embarrassed.¡± Bai Chenxi looked at Fang Xinxin¡¯s e-covered face. Although he felt repulsed, he still maintained a gentle expression. ¡°You showing up means that I still hold a spot in your heart.¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Xinxin...¡± Bai Chenxi reached out to open the car door.
Fang Ln unlocked the car, allowing him to open the door smoothly.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold as Bai Chenxi reached forward to take her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me with your dirty hand.¡±
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression turned stiff. ¡°I was in the wrong for not protecting you well. I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qinghao to take you forcefully in the hospital.¡±
¡°As a mother, I¡¯m also heartbroken that such an unfortunate event happened. I really never expected Bai Qinghao to be such a person.¡± Fang Ln looked at her daughter in heartache.
¡°My daughter, don¡¯t worry, Chenxi has already promised me. He won¡¯t mind that Bai Qinghao has touched you.¡±
Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°What does Bai Chenxi count for? Why the fuck would it matter if he minds.¡±
Fang Ln frowned. ¡°Girls shouldn¡¯t speak so roughly.¡±
¡°Mom, quit with the nonsense. Start driving.¡± Fang Xinxin had grown impatient.
But Fang Ln still had other methods. She wouldn¡¯t let things go as Fang Xinxin wanted. ¡°I¡¯m asking you to alight. The car belongs to me. As long as I don¡¯t let you stay in, you have to get off.¡±
¡°Very good. In that case, I won¡¯t cling to you.¡± Fang Xinxin finally stepped out of the car.
She turned back and said, ¡°In the future, even if you beg me, I won¡¯t sit in your car!¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m your mom. It will always be you begging me. I¡¯lle to pick you up in two hours!¡± Fang Ln left these words behind before driving away.
Chapter 79: Sending You To Your Date (4)
Chapter 79: Sending You To Your Date (4)
Fang Xinxin watched a car drive past a traffic light and turn around a corner. She felt a sharp ache in her heart.
In her previous life, at this moment, she had been left stranded without any money to call for a cab.
The Fang home had been a great distance away and she was wearing heels. It had beente at night, not safe for a girl to walk home alone.
Fang Ln had known all this, and expected that Fang Xinxin could only wait obediently for her toe pick her up.
Bai Chenxi took advantage of this opportunity. ¡°Xinxin, your mom wille and pick you up in two hours. It¡¯s alreadyte. There¡¯s nowhere suitable for you to go. You¡¯ll be cold if you keep standing here. Why don¡¯t I treat you to a cup of hot coffee in the cafe?¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°My mom thinks that I don¡¯t even have a single cent on me. She also believes that I won¡¯t be able to go home by myself, and left me here so I would have no choice but to go with you.¡±
These words were intentionally spoken for Bai Qinghao to hear.
In her previous life, because of her fear of Bai Qinghao, she did not call him.
She had stood by the roadside trembling, and could only ept Bai Chenxi¡¯s invitation.
Afterward, her mom informed Bai Qinghao and caused her to be caught up in a big misunderstanding.
In this life, she finally understood that Bai Qinghao will always be there for her.
¡°What do you mean by forcing you? Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t make it sound so horrible.¡± Bai Chenxi stared into her eyes with pain.
¡°I know that you¡¯re angry at me. I wasn¡¯t able to stop Bai Qinghao from taking advantage of you. Your first time has be a trauma that you will remember for life...¡±
¡°Stop.¡± Fang Xinxin held her hand out. ¡°I gave my first time to Bai Qinghao willingly. I don¡¯t have any trauma to speak of!¡±
As she spoke, she saw from the corner of her eye that the image on the screen had changed to the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room. Then, Bai Qinghao¡¯s face appeared on the screen.
Yay!
Her idol, the Commander, seemed to be in a good mood.
Bai Chenxi stared at her in disbelief. ¡°Xinxin, when did you be so shameless... Bai Qinghao clearly forced you. How can you like someone who took advantage of you?¡±
¡°He is my fianc¨¦. We have been engaged since I was young. My entire being has belonged to him since a long time ago.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged her shoulders uncaringly.
¡°Besides, I¡¯m already an adult. It¡¯s not a big deal to have this sort of intimacy with my fianc¨¦.¡±
¡°You...¡± Bai Chenxi struggled to understand her words.
¡°Bai Qinghao must have threatened you. He must have used your family to ckmail you, isn¡¯t it? Don¡¯t be afraid, I will help you!¡±
¡°Oh! How do you n on helping me?¡±
¡°As long as you...¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze turned wary. ¡°Are you trying to trick me?¡±
He had many ns to deal with Bai Qinghao. However, he would never admit to them openly.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Tricking you to do what?¡±
¡°All right, Xinxin, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s go inside for a cup of coffee.¡± Bai Chenxi reached out to hold her hand, but she quickly lifted her foot and kicked him away.
¡°Don¡¯te too close to me. I¡¯m afraid that if I see your face, I might throw up my dinner. I am sure that you know the food at Bai Qinghao¡¯s ce is extremely expensive.¡±
On the other end of the call, Bai Qinghao watched as Fang Xinxin kicked Bai Chenxi on his waist. There was now a footprint mark on Bai Chenxi¡¯s belt.
A hint of smile appeared on his steely expression.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression, on the other hand, was extremely poor. ¡°Fang Xinxin!¡±
This bitch! She was bing better and better at ying a cat and mouse game.
Chapter 80: Sending You To Your Date (5)
Chapter 80: Sending You To Your Date (5)
He took a handkerchief and wiped away the footprint mark with disgust.
While his head was lowered, Fang Xinxin held up her phone and spoke to Bai Qinghao. ¡°This cafe isn¡¯t too bad. Let¡¯s have a date. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±
Fang Xinxin directed the camera at the cafe¡¯s signboard for several seconds.
When Bai Qinghao nodded in response, she turned to head inside the cafe.
After wiping down his clothes, Bai Chenxi lifted his head to see Fang Xinxin¡¯s back view. He assumed that she had gone ahead to wait for him inside, and his expression turned sinister.
This bitch, after pretending to be aloof, still couldn¡¯t give up on the opportunity to have a date with him.
Fang Xinxin entered the cafe and sat at the table nearest to the window.
Bai Chenxi spoke up in dissatisfaction. ¡°Xinxin, why are you sitting here? There are a lot of private rooms in this cafe. Let¡¯s head into one.¡±
It seemed like he couldn¡¯t run away from letting this ugly and fat woman have a taste of sweetness.
He nned on sacrificing a bit of himself tonight, and to let her take advantage of him. Only by doing so, she would be fully devoted to helping him.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to respond to him.
From her phone, she saw that Bai Qinghao was already in a car.
Bai Chenxi saw that Fang Xinxin did not respond and continued. ¡°This is an open area. It¡¯s not very convenient. If we head into a private room, it would be easier for us to touch each other.¡±
He mouthed thest few words silently, mindful of the waiter approaching.
As a well-mannered man, he would never say something so indecent in a public space.
A female waitress approached them. ¡°Wee. May I know, what would the two of you like to order?¡±
Fang Xinxin replied mildly. ¡°We¡¯re not together. For now, I¡¯m taking this seat. Give me a cup of Brazilian ck coffee.¡±
This was Bai Qinghao¡¯s favourite drink.
In her previous life, she had been married to Bai Qinghao for many years. Yet, she remainedrgely clueless when it came to his likes and dislikes. She was truly a failure as his wife.
In this life, she needed to understand Bai Qinghao better.
The word ¡®milk¡¯ suddenly appeared in the chat box beneath their video call.
She understood that he was stopping her from drinking coffee in the middle of the night, and asking her to order a ss of milk, instead.
Qinghao, this man...
In the past, why didn¡¯t she ever notice how considerate he was?
Fang Xinxin was happy to follow her idol¡¯smand. She turned back to the waiter. ¡°Forget it. Change the coffee to a ss of milk. Please serve some small snacks along with it.¡±
¡°All right.¡±
The waiter turned to Bai Chenxi. ¡°Sir, what about you?¡±
From Bai Chenxi¡¯s angle, it only seemed like Fang Xinxin was busy with her phone. Never in his wildest dreams, would he have guessed that she was in the middle of a call with Bai Qinghao.
He pulled the chair and sat down across her. ¡°Pu¡¯er tea.¡±
...
Fang Ln parked her car at a carpark not too far away. She alighted and crossed the street to see that Bai Chenxi and Fang Xinxin were sitting at the same table.
She immediately scoffed. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that bitch! She imed that she didn¡¯t like Bai Chenxi. Pretending to be apathetic, she must be ted deep down!¡±
She brought her phone out and dialed Bai Qinghao.
In the backseat of the ck alligator SUV, the chauffeur was currently rushing toward Yue Ya Cafe. Bai Qinghao noticed the call from Fang Ln and frowned.
He had two phones, one for public use and one for private.
Unimportant people like Fang Ln and Fang Manxue would only have ess to his public phone number.
Chapter 81: Sending You To Your Date (6)
Chapter 81: Sending You To Your Date (6)
Fang Xinxin, on the other hand, had his private phone number.
His video call with Fang Xinxin was currently connected on his private phone.
He muted the sound from the video call and answered Fang Ln¡¯s call.
¡°Qinghao, it¡¯s me, Auntie Fang.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s voice could be heard clearly.
¡°After I brought Xinxin out of the Yu Ting Vi, she alighted at the Yue Ya Cafe. She said she was going on a date with you. I understand that you young people have your own way of dating, but remember to keep an eye on the time. I¡¯ll be worried if Xinxines homete.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes shed cynically.
Earlier, didn¡¯t Fang Ln insist on forcing Fang Xinxin to meet up with Bai Chenxi? She even sang Bai Chenxi¡¯s praises, as though there was no one greater than him.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s video call with him had been connected the whole time. He had registered every action and word of hers.
From start to finish, Fang Xinxin did not tell her that she was going on a date with him.
Which meant...
Fang Ln, this old fox. She clearly knew that Fang Xinxin was currently in the cafe with Bai Chenxi, yet she intentionally said that Fang Xinxin was with him.
She naturally knew that he would not expose Fang Xinxin right now and would charge over directly to catch Fang Xinxin in the act.
If Fang Xinxin had not called him, and he was mistakenly directed by Fang Ln, wouldn¡¯t he have misunderstood that Fang Xinxin went on a date with Bai Qinghao?
At the thought of this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned gloomy.
Very good, Fang Ln and Fang Manxue. They were hellbent on pairing Fang Xinxin up with Bai Chenxi.
Initially, when Fang Xinxin mentioned that Fang Manxue had forced her into it, he did not entirely believe in her. However, right now, the evidence was right before his eyes. It turned out that even her mother was an aplice in this game!
Fang Ln held onto the phone. She could not hear anything from the other end and spoke with some panic in her voice. ¡°Qinghao, why aren¡¯t you speaking? Did something happen to Xinxin?¡±
She understood that Bai Qinghao must be infuriated that Fang Xinxin had secretly gone off to meet Bai Chenxi and maintained her concerned act.
¡°Since you¡¯re that worried about Fang Xinxin, you cane to pick her up directly at the Yue Ya Cafe,¡± Bai Qinghao spoke coldly before hanging up.
Fang Ln could not wait to see how Fang Xinxin would suffer from Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger.
It would be best if, in a fit of anger, Bai Qinghao immediately dissolved his marriage agreement with Fang Xinxin.
An off-road vehicle came to a stop by the roadside. Six bodyguards dressed in ck suits alighted and quickly made their way into Yue Ya Cafe. Soon, customers began leaving the ce.
Within a minute, the entire ce was emptied.
Only Bai Chenxi and Fang Xinxin remained seated at their table.
Rather, it would be more urate to say that they could not leave even if they wanted to.
When Fang Ln saw this, she immediately understood that these bodyguards were Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates.
Fang Xinxin was in for a show!
The wrinkles at the corner of her eyes crinkled to reveal her joyful state.
Two minutester, Fang Ln watched as Bai Qinghao alighted from the SUV.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qinghao to arrive so quickly!¡±
Fang Ln was slightly suspicious. However, she felt that given the urgency of the matter, it wasn¡¯t surprising that Bai Qinghao made his chauffeur drive quickly.
She immediately jogged towards him. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±
She followed Bai Qinghao into the cafe. The six bodyguards stood in a line at the entrance. They made for an impressive sight and seemed to be diligently awaiting their next orders.
At the thought that they would soon toss Fang Xinxin out like a little chick, Fang Ln was beyond excited.
She walked past the bodyguards and noticed their imposing auras.
A part of Fang Ln was secretly terrified of the consequences of tricking Bai Qinghao.
Chapter 82: Joining Forces To Slander
Chapter 82: Joining Forces To nder
However, she needed to remove Fang Xinxin from Bai Qinghao¡¯s side permanently. Only then, she could make space for Fang Manxue.
Bai Chenxi was currently seated across Fang Xinxin. There were a lot of dishes on the table.
Following Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance, the atmosphere in the cafe seemed to dip.
Fang Ln pretended to cry out in shock. ¡°Xinxin, why are you here with Bai Chenxi? And you even ordered so much food. It looks like a grand date!¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to her. ¡°Mom, why did youe back? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to the Fang home?¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Fang Ln tantly denied it.
¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who wanted to alight midway? This child, how could you be out on a date with Bai Chenxi? You even fooled your mom into going home. You told me that you were going out with Bai Qinghao. When did you be so good at lying?¡±
After saying so, she waited for Bai Qinghao to lose his temper. It would be best if he immediately gave Fang Xinxin several tight ps.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghao was unmoved.
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Mom, I never said I was going on a date with Bai Qinghao. You knew that I was with Bai Chenxi and intentionally brought Bai Qinghao here, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Although Fang Ln¡¯s scheme was exposed, she did not be flustered. ¡°Why would I do such a thing? I was just worried you would take advantage of Bai Qinghao¡¯s kindness. You¡¯re his fianc¨¦e. Don¡¯t you realise that you¡¯re letting Qinghao down by fooling around with Bai Chenxi behind his back?¡±
Fang Xinxin picked up the ss of milk on the table and unhurriedly took a sip. ¡°Haha...¡¯fooling around¡¯. I sure have a good mother!¡±
Fang Ln appeared disappointed by her immaturity. ¡°Xinxin ah, Xinxin. How did mom teach you? As a woman, you always have to be loyal. You¡¯ve been engaged to Qinghao since you were young. How could you date another man behind his back? To think that you even chose to do so with his cousin!¡±
¡°Anything else?¡± Fang Xinxin raised her brows.
Fang Ln has never taught her a single thing. All she ever ¡®learned¡¯ was how to obtain benefits for the Fang family from Bai Qinghao, and how to be docile and obedient to the Fang family.
Fang Ln was confused by her unruffled, rxed appearance.
Wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin supposed to be wailing in terror, or shrinking up to beg for mercy?
¡°Bai Qinghao is such an outstanding man. It¡¯s the blessing of your lifetime to be engaged to him. How could you not know to treasure what you have?¡± Fang Ln appeared to be angered to the point of wanting to p Fang Xinxin.
She turned to Bai Qinghao with pain etched on her face. ¡°This is all because Auntie Fang didn¡¯t teach Xinxin well. I never expected her to be this shameless and seduce your cousin. There¡¯s no need to take Auntie Fang into consideration. Deal with her however you wish!¡±
¡°What do you have to say?¡± Bai Qinghao nced coldly at Bai Chenxi.
His imposing aura frightened Bai Chenxi. However, he still pretended to be calm.
¡°Cousin...¡±
He recalled that Bai Qinghao did not recognise him as his cousin and quickly changed his way of addressing. ¡°CEO Bai, I swear, I don¡¯t have any romantic feelings for Fang Xinxin. She¡¯s the one who kept clinging onto me. I told her that I wouldn¡¯t see her again, yet she refused to listen. Earlier, she called me and threatened tomit suicide if I didn¡¯te!¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. How could she possibly kill herself over such a small matter?
Even if in their past life, she had only done so in front of Bai Qinghao to protect Bai Chenxi.
Why did she bother to protect such a bastard? As she recalled it, she felt regretful to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
The pair of eyes she previously had was really useless!
Chapter 83: Joining Forces To Slander (2)
Chapter 83: Joining Forces To nder (2)
A helpless expression appeared on Bai Chenxi¡¯s refined features. ¡°CEO Bai, I couldn¡¯t possibly let her harm herself. Furthermore, she¡¯s your fianc¨¦e. I was helpless and could onlye to see what Fang Xinxin wanted from me.¡±
¡°Go on, continue fabricating.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand. She appeared unruffled by his story.
In her previous life, she had been thoroughly ndered by Bai Chenxi and Fang Ln. They had rendered herpletely helpless.
The matter also greatly angered Bai Qinghao. The pain in his heart had been intense, as though his flesh was being torn open.
In fact, Bai Qinghao was someone whose feelings were rarely influenced by others. There were only a few matters that could genuinely affect him.
Her betrayal was the only thing that he could not endure.
As a result, Fang Xinxin became Bai Chenxi¡¯s target.
And Fang Ln and Fang Manxue also decided they needed to remove her from Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
Thus, the three of them often worked together to trap her.
In her memories, she had always been foolishly filial. Even when she noticed something amiss, she would still choose to listen to them.
Previously, for the sake of her so-called family and her blinded love, she had let Bai Qinghao down.
In this life, for the sake of Bai Qinghao, she would willingly give everything up!
¡°What do you mean by ¡®fabricate¡¯?¡± Fang Ln spoke in dissatisfaction. ¡°Bai Chenxi is naturally being honest. Xinxin, since you love him so much, it¡¯s time you stop denying it.¡±
Previously, it was precisely these words that stopped her from speaking up.
As a result, she had to watch Bai Qinghao getting angered into needing to be sent to the hospital.
Right now, there was nothing that she needed to exin.
Given her video call to Bai Qinghao, Bai Chenxi and Fang Ln¡¯s current actions were akin to that of a pair of clowns.
Bai Qinghao would not believe even a single word of theirs.
Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°I¡¯m a filial daughter. Since my mother says it¡¯s so, then I am toozy to say any more nonsense.¡±
Fang Ln trembled in anger. ¡°Qinghao, look, Xinxin has admitted to seducing Bai Chenxi, my god!¡±
Tears immediately filled her eyes. ¡°How did I give birth to such a shameless daughter?¡±
She kept waiting for Bai Qinghao to deal with Fang Xinxin.
To her surprise, there was not the slightest change in Bai Qinghao¡¯s expressions.
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin stared at Fang Ln. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that my mother was so good at acting. Her tears came out so easily.¡±
¡°I¡¯m crying because you hurt me. What do you mean by acting?¡± Fang Ln pointed at Fang Xinxin in pain. ¡°You unfilial daughter! You¡¯ve really let Qinghao down.¡±
Bai Chenxi was also astonished. Why didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao seem even slightly affected?
Wasn¡¯t he supposed to copse in anger by now?
Bai Qinghao didn¡¯t even appear to mind seeing Fang Xinxin go behind his back to meet him. Could it be that Bai Qinghao no longer liked Fang Xinxin?
Bai Chenxi recalled the way Bai Qinghao had forcefully taken Fang Xinxin in front of him and felt certain that Bai Qinghao was still in love with Fang Xinxin.
Thus, he put on a helpless expression and added oil to the fire. ¡°CEO Bai, please forgive Fang Xinxin. She really likes me too much...¡±
He nced secretly at Bai Qinghao and saw that the man still did not react. His heart skipped a beat.
Could he have realised that they were tricking him?
¡°Bai Qinghao, you must know plenty of shameless people.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at Bai Chenxi mockingly. ¡°But I¡¯ve never seen a more shameless bastard than Bai Chenxi.¡±
Bai Qinghao spoke up coldly and heavily. ¡°Then, do you like him?¡±
On the surface, he sounded casual. In actuality however, he was feeling nervous.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Of course not. Liking him would be an insult to my intelligence.¡±
Chapter 84: Joining Forces To Slander (3)
Chapter 84: Joining Forces To nder (3)
Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression became extremely poor. In the first ce, did this slut have any intelligence to show off?
He recalled her usual brainless and weak demeanor, and felt certain that she was mocking herself for not having any intelligence.
Since she admitted to not having any intelligence, was she saying that she liked him?
At the thought of this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression became better.
Fang Ln shouted immediately. ¡°Xinxin, do you know what you¡¯re saying?¡±
Those words would cause Bai Chenxi to dislike her.
She didn¡¯t care if Bai Chenxi liked Fang Xinxin or not. She only needed this fat woman to let go of Bai Qinghao.
¡°I know what I said.¡± Fang Xinxin was unruffled.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s mood immediately became sunny. He took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze and was extremely satisfied. ¡°Then, I won¡¯t insult your intelligence any longer.¡±
His understanding was different from that of Bai Chenxi. He believed that Fang Xinxin did not like Bai Chenxi.
This was because he has never felt that Fang Xinxin was stupid. In fact, she was an extremely intelligent girl.
It was just that, in the past, she gave into Fang Ln and Fang Manxue too much. She had been too filial and overly prioritised her sister.
Looking at it from a different perspective, didn¡¯t that also indicate that she had an extremely kind heart?
Whether she was actually kind or not, to Bai Qinghao, everything about Fang Xinxin was wonderful.
Bai Chenxi saw that their supposed ¡®trap¡¯ had failed to anger Bai Qinghao, and even caused him to be happy. He immediately became angry.
¡°CEO Bai, before you came, Fang Xinxin clearly said she liked me. Now she¡¯s refusing to admit it again. Although you won¡¯t acknowledge that I¡¯m your cousin, as a member of the Bai family, it¡¯s my duty to remind you to be careful. She¡¯s two-faced. She isn¡¯t who you think she is!¡±
If Fang Xinxin wouldn¡¯tply with him, he also wouldn¡¯t allow this chess piece of his to have a peaceful life!
¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯ve always been protective of my daughter.¡± Fang Ln appeared to be both guilty and helpless.
¡°Xinxin has mentioned to me repeatedly that she likes Bai Chenxi. I¡¯ve also noticed her calling Bai Chenxi secretly at the Fang home. She cannot bear for Bai Chenxi to suffer the slightest harm. That is why, although I¡¯m biased towards this daughter, I can¡¯t lie to you. I feel that Bai Chenxi is speaking the truth.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s face became grim.
Fang Ln saw this and assumed her words were effective.
Bai Chenxi also secretly gave Fang Ln an admiring look.
It was indeed a good idea to work with smart people like Fang Ln.
In actuality, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression had changed because he was unsatisfied with the way Fang Ln was treating Fang Xinxin!
A hint of pain appeared in Fang Xinxin¡¯sposed gaze. ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve betrayed me to this extent, yet you have the face to say that you¡¯re biased towards me. Is there any mother like you out there?!¡±
Fang Ln spoke as though she waspletely justified. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I don¡¯t want you to be so deceitful. That¡¯s why I¡¯m telling CEO Bai the truth!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao, my mom and Bai Chenxi are conspiring to nder me. Do you really believe them?¡± Fang Xinxin appeared hurt as she turned to look at Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao watched her expression and felt his frozen heart aching for her.
Because of her pain, his heart would ache.
¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m Xinxin¡¯s mom. I naturally won¡¯t wrong her.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s face was covered with tear marks. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I love her that I can¡¯t stand to watch here up with lies after lies. I¡¯m afraid if she goes any further, she won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences of her actions. Lying to you is the same as asking for death. I also don¡¯t have the guts to do it! Please don¡¯t believe her...¡±
Chapter 85: ‘Rewarding’ Them With Two Bottles Of Red Wine (1)
Chapter 85: ¡®Rewarding¡¯ Them With Two Bottles Of Red Wine (1)
A corner of Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips lifted up in a cold smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t it easy to examine if Fang Xinxin actually likes Bai Chenxi or not?¡±
Immediately Fang Ln chipped in. ¡°To examine someone¡¯s thoughts, wouldn¡¯t you have to chop their brain open?¡±
She rushed to cover her mouth. ¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t do that to our Xinxin!¡±
Fang Xinxin was speechless. Her gaze toward Fang Ln immediately turned cold. ¡°Do you wish for me to die that badly?¡±
¡°What are you saying?¡± Fang Ln would never admit to it. ¡°I¡¯m trying to stop CEO Bai from hurting you. I¡¯m trying to protect you!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Is that so? I thought you were trying to remind Bai Qinghao that he could break my brain open for a look.¡±
Indeed, Fang Ln dearly wished that Bai Qinghao would hurt Fang Xinxin fatally. It would save her a lot of time.
Her daughter, Fang Manxue, would then be able to enjoy the position of the Bai family¡¯s young madam.
However, she could not admit to this and only pretended that she still wanted to protect her.
She never expected Fang Xinxin, the slut, to see through it.
Regardless, she would never admit to wanting to harm her.
Bai Chenxi felt it would be a waste for Bai Qinghao to kill Fang Xinxin now. If his chess piece died just like that, where would he find another one that was loved by Bai Qinghao to this extent?
Fang Xinxin had liked him secretly since she was young. He felt that it was impossible for her feelings to change and for her to grow to like Bai Qinghao.
¡°CEO Bai, hacking open one¡¯s brains to examine their thoughts would be far too cruel. Fang Xinxin¡¯s feelings for me aren¡¯t a crime deserving of death. I¡¯ll definitely convince her to focus her thoughts on you. Why don¡¯t...¡±
Bai Chenxi had just started to speak for Fang Xinxin insincerely when Bai Qinghao suddenly smiled. ¡°Who said I was going to open up her skull? Why don¡¯t you rece her instead?¡±
Immediately, he reached for a brand new bottle of red wine that had been left on the table and smashed it heavily on Bai Chenxi¡¯s head. His movement was smooth and dashing!
With a loud noise, the bottle of red wine was smashed into smithereens against Bai Chenxi¡¯s head. The red wine spilled all over his hair.
In an instant, Bai Chenxi¡¯s head was covered in blood. It flowed downward along with the red wine.
¡°Ah!¡± Fang Ln rarely came across such a bloody scene. She released a scream and quickly covered her mouth in fear.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was focused on Fang Xinxin. He saw that she did not even pause to blink. She appearedpletely unaffected by the scene.
His cold features rxed. ¡°Even after watching Bai Chenxi being harmed, Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t seem the slightest bit upset. Doesn¡¯t that clearly indicate that she doesn¡¯t like Bai Chenxi at all? Are the two of you satisfied with this method of examining Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts?¡±
Fang Ln was fearful that if this went on any longer, the next person to ¡®receive¡¯ a bottle would be her. She nodded frantically. ¡°Satisfied, satisfied!¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and asked threateningly. ¡°Do you still feel that Fang Xinxin likes Bai Chenxi? That she can¡¯t bear for him to suffer the slightest harm?¡±
¡°No, no!¡± Fang Ln responded without any hesitation. ¡°I must have heard wrongly! Our Xinxin is your fianc¨¦e, how could she possibly like Bai Chenxi?¡±
¡°What about you?¡± Bai Qinghao shifted his sharp gaze towards Bai Chenxi.
The intense pain from his scalp had left Bai Chenxi dumbstruck.
As of now, all he could feel was anger welling up.
They were both members of the Bai family. Even if he was only an adopted son, Bai Qinghao was still supposed to consider their rtionship. To think he would be this ruthless!
He really wished he could kill Bai Qinghao right now.
Unfortunately, with his current ability, to deal with Bai Qinghao would be akin to inviting a disaster.
This also indicated that Bai Qinghao did not trust him or Fang Ln in the slightest.
Chapter 86: ‘Rewarding’ Them With Two Bottles Of Red Wine (2)
Chapter 86: ¡®Rewarding¡¯ Them With Two Bottles Of Red Wine (2)
He had tried to trick Fang Xinxin into fooling Bai Qinghao. Considering Bai Qinghao¡¯s ruthless character, if Bai Chenxi hadn¡¯t been a member of the Bai family, he would already be dead by now.
Where exactly did he go wrong?
Bai Chenxi struggled to ept the oue. He turned to look at Fang Xinxin. Why was Bai Qinghao, given his usual intolerant attitude, able to ept her presence here despite her not providing any exnations?
Bai Chenxi could note up with any possible reasons. He reached up to touch his bleeding scalp and replied in a trembling voice. ¡°CEO Bai is wise!¡±
With these four words, he was acknowledging that Fang Xinxin did not like him, nor had shee to meet him tonight.
Bai Qinghao seemed to believe in Fang Xinxin, and he had already received his punishment. To further insist on the matter would be akin to asking for death. In this case, it was better to lower his head temporarily.
Bam!
Bai Chenxi copsed head first onto the ground.
The cunning fox, Fang Ln, who had worked in the business circle for a long time, could not stop her legs from shaking at sight of Bai Chenxi lying in a pool of his own blood.
¡°C... CEO Bai, I... I was instigated by Bai Chenxi. I judged him wrongly. I shouldn¡¯t have trusted everything Bai Chenxi said...¡±
Right now, she could only push the entire me towards Bai Chenxi.
It wasn¡¯t clear if Bai Chenxi was unconscious or dead. Nheless, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hear her words or defend himself in this state.
¡°Borrowing the opportunity to nder Fang Xinxin...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were narrowed into slits. Murderous intent surrounded him. ¡°Do you think you can escape the responsibility just by iming that you trusted his words?¡±
Fang Ln was dying under his frightening gaze. ¡°C... CEO Bai, I, I... what should I do for you to forgive me?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted onto the unopened bottle of wine lying on the table. ¡°What do you think? Since your head is bad at judging people, and you¡¯ve wronged Fang Xinxin, isn¡¯t it simple? We¡¯ll use a little bit of red wine to wake you up.¡±
Fang Ln pretended not to understand him and intentionally twisted his meaning. ¡°You¡¯re asking me to drink some wine, is it? I¡¯ll drink immediately, immediately!¡±
She grabbed the bottle opener and uncorked the bottle. She lifted it up and took several,rge gulps.
She drank in a rush and even choked due to her frenzy.
¡°I detest it when people y dumb in front of me.¡± Bai Qinghao did not give her the slightest bit of face. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll have to ask my people to ¡®reward¡¯ you with wine!¡±
Immediately, one of the bodyguards snatched the bottle from Fang Ln¡¯s hand and raised it to hit it against her head.
Fang Ln threw herself onto Fang Xinxin with a shriek. ¡°Xinxin, xinxin, you have to save me! I¡¯m your mom.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke up mockingly. ¡°Did you ever treat me like your daughter? You even conspired with Bai Chenxi, an outsider, to trick me.¡±
¡°I was wrong!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s face was covered in tears. ¡°Your mom was misguided by Bai Chenxi. I really thought you were genuinely in love with Bai Chenxi. That¡¯s why I believed in him. If that bottle of wine is smashed on my head, your mom¡¯s brain will be badly damaged. Please beg the Commander to let me off!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s ink-ck pupils were focused on Fang Xinxin. ¡°If you beg for her, I will let her go.¡±
He wasn¡¯t sure why, but when it came to Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts and desires, whether they were correct or wrong, he wanted to help her fulfil them all.
¡°You heard him! CEO Bai said that as long as you speak up, he will forgive me.¡± Fang Ln gripped Fang Xinxin¡¯s elbow anxiously.

Fang Xinxin pushed her aside ruthlessly and headed for the cafe¡¯s entrance. ¡°How can you refuse the wine which CEO Bai has ¡®rewarded¡¯ you with?¡±
This meant she was not going to oppose Bai Qinghao¡¯s actions.
Fang Ln screamed in panic. ¡°Fang Xinxin, if you don¡¯t do anything, your mom will be smashed to death!¡±
¡°No, no!¡± Fang Ln watched as the bodyguard approached her.
She cried out in desperation. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m your future mother-inw. You can¡¯t let them harm me!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s face was expressionless but his tone was cold and cruel. ¡°Like you said, you will be my mother-inw in the future... this means you are currently nothing to me. If you wish to be my mother-inw, you need to have a clear mind. I am going to help you achieve that.¡±
After saying this, he followed after Fang Xinxin.
The bodyguard had received Bai Qinghao¡¯s order and naturally, he was not going to hold back.
Fang Xinxin heard a loud crashing noise apanied by Fang Ln¡¯s sharp cry of despair.
Following which, Fang Ln¡¯s figure also copsed on the ground.
After leaving the cafe, Fang Xinxin stood by the roadside and gave Bai Qinghao an apologetic look. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I wanted to ask you out for coffee, but all of this happened. Let¡¯s meet another time.¡±
¡°Ok, you owe me one!¡± Bai Qinghao answered.
He touched a lock of her hair that flitted across her cheek due to the wind. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
¡°En?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was grim. He couldn¡¯t help imagine the scenario had Fang Xinxin not called him. How badly would he have misconstrued the situation?
¡°Thankfully...¡± I didn¡¯t misunderstand you.
He gathered her into his arms and held her waist firmly. Lowering his head, he gave her a dominating kiss.
¡°Uu...¡± She whimpered as she endured his powerful smooch.
His lips wrapped around her mouth like a powerful wave. She had no power to resist him, nor did she want to. She could only allow herself to drown in his devastating might.
This was Bai Qinghao¡¯s second time kissing Fang Xinxin. It was sweeter and more intimate than the previous one. It felt so addictive that he could not help but struggle to restrain himself.
He wanted to continue kissing her until the skies shattered and the seas ran dry.
Click, click, click!
It was the sound of a camera clicking away.
Two off-road vehicles were parked by the roadside which made an imposing sight. One of them was the luxurious, ck alligator SUV. Six bodyguards dressed in ck suits stood neatly by the cars. Their aura was powerful and eye-catching.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao¡¯s features were outstanding and stern. He was lethally attractive, a figure that radiated a shining light wherever he went. Despite it beingte in the evening, a crowd had formed around them.
One of the passer-bys clearly recognised Bai Qinghao. When he saw that Bai Qinghao was kissing a fat, ugly woman openly on the street, he immediately brought his phone out and took several pictures of them.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tongue was intertwined with Bai Qinghao¡¯s. His powerful sucking caused her to wince in pain, yet the sweetness of it had her willing to endure the honeyed torment.
In her previous life, she and Bai Qinghao had never kissed. To think that after being reborn, he had already kissed her twice.
It seemed like he really didn¡¯t wish to stop...
Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao was a little too agitated and forceful. She felt herself suffocating and had to hit his shoulder lightly. ¡°Uu... let... let go of me...¡±
She did not wish to faint in the middle of the street.
Furthermore, there were people watching them.
Bai Qinghao took in her reddened cheeks. Although he could not bear to separate from her, he still released her lips.He stared at her rosy and swollen mouth and a hint of desire reappeared in his sharp gaze.
He nodded in satisfaction. ¡°You¡¯ve improved.¡±
Chapter 88: You’ve Improved
Chapter 88: You¡¯ve Improved
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
She panted heavily to catch her breath before asking him in confusion. ¡°Improved?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t faint like the first time we kissed.¡± His voice was husky and thick from desire. A rare smile had appeared on his stern mouth.
¡°Hmph!¡± She harrumphed in embarrassment. ¡°Can you not bring up such embarrassing matters!¡±
A hint of doting colored Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. He pinched her cheek and said, ¡°I¡¯m praising you.¡±
Her entire being was awkward and shy. Thankfully, for the sake of avoiding him, she had previously tanned her skin on purpose. The burning blush on her cheeks could not be seen at the moment.
¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that...¡±
¡°En?¡± Bai Qinghao did not understand.
¡°If you look at me like that, I¡¯ll misunderstand that you¡¯re looking at a really beautiful girl!¡± She cried out in embarrassment.
¡°Hahaha...¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯sugh held a tinge of delight.
Fang Xinxin was dazed by the sight.
Afterbining both her lives, this was still her first time seeing Bai Qinghaough.
This sight was genuinely sufficient to ruin the world. Why was he so attractive and alluring? Ridiculously handsome from every angle!
This queen was going to marry him even if the cost was her life!
Bai Qinghao saw that Fang Xinxin was staring nkly at him and waved his hand in front of her. ¡°Why are you in a daze?¡±
¡°You look really handsome when youugh!¡± Fang Xinxin hugged his arm coquettishly and discovered that his body was as firm as steel.
Upon hearing this, the grooves around Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips deepened.
However, for someone like Bai Qinghao, even when he smiled, he appeared like a forest that had been frozen for thousands of years.
But Fang Xinxin was content with this much for now. After all, in their previous life, she had believed that Bai Qinghao was someone who would never smile.
¡°Little girl, your mouth is bing sweeter by the day.¡± He pinched her cheek again.
It seemed like he enjoyed pinching her. Her skin was smooth and soft and he loved the sensation.
She rubbed the slightly aching skin. ¡°You¡¯re troubling me again. Didn¡¯t you already taste my lips already? Hmph!¡±
¡°Umm... the taste was definitely not bad.¡± The naked desire couldn¡¯t be concealed in his ink-ck pupils. He stared at her swollen lips and was itching to devour her again. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you seducing me?¡±
¡°No!¡± She shook her head like a little pellet drum.
She noticed that there were several people crowding around them and whispering among themselves.
There were around ten of them and all of them were giving her looks of disdain, as though she was insulting the attractive male idol by standing next to him.
¡°Why has the idol paired up with a toad...¡± Their voices were extremely soft, but Fang Xinxin still managed to hear them.
There was no confusion in her head about their meaning. Fang Xinxin understood that they were referring to her as the ¡®toad¡¯.
The idol was definitely Bai Qinghao.
This was the second time she appeared in a public space with Bai Qinghao. On both asions, she was thoroughly insulted. She really felt depressed. If only she could regain her good looks right now!
She was just about to lose her temper when Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes shifted onto the crowd. His gaze was frigid and sharp like an icicle.
Everyone appeared to be frozen in their spots, no one dared to speak up.
¡°She¡¯s my woman! Whoever dares to speak nonsense again shall never get to utter another word for the rest of their lives!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was tantly threatening.
His intimidating aura ensured that no one would doubt his words. The quiet discussion immediately died away.
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She lifted her chest proudly. ¡°Did you hear that? The emperor says that this empress was made for him!¡±
Chapter 89: Tomorrow’s Headlines
Chapter 89: Tomorrow¡¯s Headlines
Her slightly mischievous tone eased the tension-filled atmosphere.
The man who had taken the photos earlier, spoke up. ¡°Chubby girl, it¡¯s true that you¡¯re a little fat. However, since the nation¡¯s idol is smitten with you, you must have some good attributes. But, you should really lose some weight, ah!¡±
Clearly, this person was aware of Bai Qinghao¡¯s identity.
¡°Of course. I¡¯ll workout until I have the body of a siren.¡± Fang Xinxin patted her chest and pledged. For the sake of standing by her idol¡¯s side, she was ready to put her life on the line.
The man sized up her overweight figure and did not believe that she could actually do so. Nheless, he still encouraged her. ¡°Your courage is admirable.¡±
Fang Xinxin recognised the man as Zhen Youcai, a reporter from Jing Hua Media.
This man had exposed countless, earth-shaking news before.
She did not wish to be under the scrutiny any further and turned to Bai Qinghao. ¡°I¡¯ll head back to the Fang home first.¡±
She sighed and started to walk in the direction of the Fang home, dragging her feet encased in high heels.
This ce was quite a distance from the Fang home and there was no way she could sessfully walk back.
But she believed that Bai Qinghao would offer to drop her home.
¡°I¡¯ll send you.¡± Bai Qinghao caught her wrist and put her into the ck alligator SUV before long.
The chauffeur quickly drove off.
¡°It¡¯s a photo of Bai Qinghao kissing an ugly and fat woman, ah! It¡¯ll definitely make the headlines tomorrow!¡± The man had only taken a few steps in excitement before the cor of his shirt was pulled. He was held up like a little chick. He lifted his head to realise that he had been caught by Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguards.
He immediately tried to escape only to find that his path was blocked by another bodyguard. He was surrounded.
Six bodyguards crowded him, making him raise his hands to beg for mercy. ¡°Gentlemen, what are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Hand over your phone!¡±
¡°What do you want my phone for? My phone isn¡¯t worth much...¡± He wailed in anguish.
The bodyguards did not pay him any heed. One of them reached into his pocket to retrieve the phone. All the photos that he had taken earlier were erased. They even made sure to delete them from the trash bin. After ensuring that he had no way of restoring the images, they returned the phone to him politely.
¡°My headline is lost...¡± Zhen Youcai appeared to be in despair. ¡°The news I struggled to obtain in the middle of the night is gone, this is the worst... uuu.¡±
The bodyguards couldn¡¯t care less about his cries. They boarded the other SUV and quickly followed their boss¡¯s car.
At this moment, the owner of Yue Ya Cafe was instructing his employees to support the unconscious Bai Chenxi and Fang Ln into the ambnce.
The cafe owner was well-informed. After hearing that the cafe had been emptied, he naturally understood that the person who had ¡®rewarded¡¯ them with wine was Bai Qinghao.
Originally, he did not wish to concern himself with these two people who had received Bai Qinghao¡¯s grace. After all, one could never have sufficient courage to pit themselves against Bai Qinghao.
However, he was also worried the two idiots would die in his shop and cause unwarranted trouble. Thus, he decided to send them to the hospital.
Zhen Youcai had a keen nose for spicy news. He immediately recognised the two people being carried into the ambnce. One of them was the representative of Chen Xi Enterprise, Bai Chenxi, while the other was the director of the Fang Group, Fang Ln.
Why were the two of them injured at the same time in Yue Ya Cafe? Moreover, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had left the ce not too long ago.
God did not forsake him. He had found the headlines for the next day, haha!
Zhen Youcai immediately lifted his phone and took several shots of Bai Chenxi and Fang Ln¡¯s injured figures.
Unfortunately, he hade out to y at this time and did not bring his professional camera.
Nheless, his phone was enough.
...
The ck alligator came to a stop at the entrance of the Fang family¡¯s vi.
In the backseat, Fang Xinxin turned sideways to express her gratitude towards Bai Qinghao. ¡°Thank you for bringing me back.¡±
Chapter 90: Not Worried About You
Chapter 90: Not Worried About You
¡°Are you sure you want to go home given the current circumstances?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold voice did not contain any emotion. However, Fang Xinxin understood that he wanted her to return to the Yu Ting Vi with him.
He was probably worried about how Fang Ln would treat her.
¡°En.¡± She nodded helplessly. She needed to be here to solve the pending issues.
His expression turned heavy. ¡°Do as you like.¡±
She watched him for a moment. ¡°I¡¯lle to the Yu Ting Vi to visit you when I¡¯m free. You can alsoe to the Fang home to see me anytime.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern expression finally eased a little. ¡°Take good care of yourself.¡±
He was rarely moved by others. After clearly expressing his concern for her, he added with some embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about you.¡±
She was unruffled as she asked him teasingly. ¡°Oh, what are you doing then?¡±
¡°Fulfilling my responsibilities as your fianc¨¦.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin took in his stern expression. She never knew that this man¡¯s skin was so thin. He wouldn¡¯t even admit to being worried about her. But she decided to not expose him.
¡°All right then, you better fulfil your duties properly.¡±
He narrowed his cold eyes at her. Was she finally epting his concern and had sincerely decided to be his fianc¨¦e?
He recalled her earlier indifference when Bai Chenxi suffered a blow to his head and his mood immediately turned lighter.
¡°You will be my, Bai Qinghao¡¯s, wife. That is a fact no one can change!¡± Although his face was expressionless, his tone was as firm as steel.
She abruptly leaned close to his stern face and pecked his cheek. She then got out of the car quickly. ¡°Bai Qinghao, goodnight.¡±
Bai Qinghao was startled for a moment. Did she just steal a kiss from him?
He was used to Fang Xinxin¡¯s dislike and refusal of his touch. But now she had suddenly kissed him. Was the sky going to copse?
The gentleness she had shown him during these past few days had caused the steady him to be restless.
However, he liked her current avatar very much.
The corner of his lips lifted ever so slightly.
He hoped that things would remain this way forever.
Bai Qinghao ensured that Fang Xinxin entered the Fang home before he left. All of a sudden, he noticed Fang Manxue quickly jogging over to him.
The clicking noise of her heels against the ground was jarring in the quiet evening.
Fang Manxue came to a stop by the side of Bai Qinghao¡¯s car and cried out in surprise. ¡°CEO Bai, you¡¯re here!¡±
She took in the sight of his ck alligator SUV with sparkling eyes. Even his car was luxurious and grand.
If only she could sit in it for a while.
She always had a liking for extravagant things.
Although she owned a luxury car, it was nothingpared to Bai Qinghao¡¯s vehicle.
She nced at Bai Qinghao, who was seated in the back passenger seat. He wore a neat and well-fitted suit. There was a powerful aura around him.
This was what a powerful and outstanding man looked like!
And this man needed to belong to her, Fang Manxue.
¡°CEO Bai, it¡¯s already sote. Did youe over to see me?¡± Fang Manxuepletely ignored Fang Xinxin¡¯s presence, who was standing several steps away.
Fang Xinxin was about to head into the house. When she noticed Fang Manxue rushing out to stop in front of Bai Qinghao¡¯s car, she halted in her footsteps.
Bai Qinghao did not pay her any heed. His opaque eyes shifted past her to focus again on Fang Xinxin.
But Fang Manxue assumed he was staring at her. She lowered her head bashfully. ¡°CEO Bai, if you stare at me like this, I¡¯ll feel embarrassed...¡±
Previously, she had suffered because of Fang Xinxin at the Yu Ting Vi. It had made her mood turn vtile and she went out of the house to seek fort¡¯.
Chapter 91: Beauty In The Eyes Of The Beholder
Chapter 91: Beauty In The Eyes Of The Beholder
She had gone out to y and only just came home.
She was nning to head to bed when she heard the sound of a car¡¯s ignition and realised it was Bai Qinghao.
Thankfully, she had yet to remove her make-up. Whenever she was going to meet Bai Qinghao, she would spend two hours getting ready to showcase her exquisite beauty.
Tonight¡¯s moonlight was charming. It was warm and bright, and when it shone on her, it entuated her beauty.
She gave Fang Xinxin, who was several meters away, a disdainful look. That ugly appearance could notpare to her in the slightest.
Fang Manxue twisted her body slightly so that Bai Qinghao could better notice her alluring, ¡®S¡¯ shaped figure.
She exhibited her bashful beauty for several seconds but did not receive Bai Qinghao¡¯s response. She raised her head to see that Bai Qinghao was not looking at her at all. Following his gaze, she realised that he was watching Fang Xinxin!
What did the stupid and fat pig have for him to look at her so besottedly?
¡°CEO Bai, my third sister, Xinxin, has quite the size.¡± Fang Manxue said with some embarrassment.
¡°You might not know this, but when she tried to use my weighing scale, she broke it.¡±
She said it tactfully, but meant to remind Bai Qinghao of the difference between her slender figure and Fang Xinxin¡¯s bulging one.
Fang Xinxin naturally understood this and pursed her lips.
Bai Qinghao nodded expressionlessly. ¡°En, Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure is better than yours.¡±
What! Fang Manxue could not believe her own ears.
Did Bai Qinghao just say that the extremely overweight Fang Xinxin had a better figure than her?
Either he had gone against his own conscience to say that, or he was blind!
Fang Manxue was used to receiving praises about her figure from everyone. She was especially fond of those who wouldpare her with Fang Xinxin, and loved it when they spoke honestly, praising her to the heavens while stepping on Fang Xinxin with their words.
How could she possibly tolerate Bai Qinghao¡¯s im that Fang Xinxin¡¯s body was better than hers?
When Fang Xinxin heard Bai Qinghao¡¯s response, she was extremely touched.
It turned out that, in his heart, regardless of how overweight she actually was, she would always be the best.
Fang Manxue¡¯s bootlicking expression froze on her face. She tugged her sleeve back to reveal her snowy, white wrist and sighed intentionally. ¡°CEO Bai, no matter how you look at it, my skin is much fairer than Fang Xinxin¡¯s. She¡¯s almost charcoal-ck. You won¡¯t think that her skin is fairer than mine, would you?¡±
If he still went against his conscience to insist so, it would only cause him to appear fake.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was unruffled. He did not look at the skin that Fang Manxue had intentionally revealed. ¡°Her skin is beautiful. It¡¯s even more tender and delicate than clotted cream.¡±
If Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t standing several meters away to listen to his thoughts, he would not have wasted his time to entertain Fang Manxue.
Fang Manxue choked with anger, while Fang Xinxin was overjoyed.
She never knew that, despite being overly-tanned, Bai Qinghao still liked her skin.
Fang Manxue refused to give up and continued. ¡°Xinxin¡¯s face is covered in e. Do you find that attractive as well?¡±
¡°Her beauty warms my heart.¡± Bai Qinghao responded seriously.
Fang Xinxin immediately burst outughing. ¡°Second Sister, did you hear that? This is what they mean when they say, ¡®beauty is in the eye of the beholder¡¯. Here¡¯s a live example for you!¡±
If her second sister hadn¡¯t tried topare them, she would never have known that this fat, tanned and e-covered version of her was this outstanding in Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes.
She really found herself liking Bai Qinghao more and more.
Fang Manxue¡¯s mouth almost twisted from anger. She red at Fang Xinxin. ¡°What are you looking so happy about?¡±
You and Bai Qinghao will never be together!
However, she was not as stupid as to say these words out loud.
Bai Qinghao was clearly helping Fang Xinxin, the slut. If she insisted on going against him, wouldn¡¯t she be looking for trouble?
Chapter 92: Master Of The Fang Family
Chapter 92: Master Of The Fang Family
Fang Xinxin did not care about Fang Manxue¡¯s angered state. ¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯m watching you lose your mind due to anger. I feel great!¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful face turned ugly with rage. She tried her best to restrain herself and regained the generosity of a well-brought up youngdy. ¡°I¡¯m extremely magnanimous. I won¡¯t be angry.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Xinxin responded with a nomittal tone.
Fang Manxue put on a gentle look and shot Bai Qinghao a seductive look. ¡°CEO Bai, since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t youe in to sit for a while?¡±
The expression in her eyes seemed to invite him to stay overnight and that too in her room. She hoped that he would understand her meaning.
Fang Manxue was clearly trying to seduce him, making Bai Qinghao frown slightly.
¡°CEO Bai...¡± Fang Manxue bit on her lower lip lightly and put on the appearance of an insecure little rabbit.
Men loved it when she bit her lip. One of them even told her she was irresistible when she did so.
Of course, she only cared about Bai Qinghao¡¯s opinion.
Bai Qinghao was not interested in stepping into the Fang family¡¯s vi. However, he was worried about Fang Xinxin¡¯s living conditions.
After all, previously when Fang Xinxin was arguing with Fang Manxue in the hospital, she had casually brought up that she ate and lived poorly in the Fang home.
Although Xinxin did not request for his help, he needed to see the situation with his own eyes to set his worries aside.
He alighted from the car and headed for the Fang family¡¯s vi entrance.
Six bodyguards immediately alighted from the other SUV and followed closely behind him.
Fang Manxue was overjoyed that Bai Qinghao epted her invitation. Did this mean he was interested in her?
However, when she saw the bodyguards following him, she felt extremely dissatisfied.
With so many people around him, how was she supposed to find the opportunity to seduce him?
But, he had no intentions of sending them away. She, naturally, could not block them from entering the Fang home.
When Bai Qinghao¡¯s broad and tall figure passed by Fang Xinxin, he saw that she was in a daze. He raised his brows. ¡°What is it? Do you not wee me?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled shyly. ¡°Of course, I do.¡±
The Fang home was a three-storeyed vi. The backyard wasn¡¯t big but there was a swimming pool in there. There was also awn with some mountain peonies, trees, a rock garden, and some bonsai.
They entered the living room. Although the decoration was considered to be opulent, it was nothingpared to the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Manxue recalled the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s luxurious front yard andpared it with that of her family¡¯s. She had always believed the Fang family was wealthy. However, right now, she could not help but look down on her own family¡¯s status.
This further strengthened her determination to be the Commander¡¯s wife.
Bai Qinghao had just entered the vi when a middle-aged man rushed down the stairs. ¡°C... CEO Bai, you¡¯re... you¡¯re here!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced coldly at the middle-aged man dressed impably in a suit. This was Long Shuhai.
Her father, Long Yifan, had married into the Fang family. Thus, all the Fang family¡¯s children took on their mother¡¯s surname.
Her father had never mentioned any of his rtives. When she was young, she once asked her father about her grandparents and his rtives.
At the time, his expression had been one of heartbreak, making her believe that all of her father¡¯s rtives had passed away.
She never thought that, three ago, after her father had a stroke and became a vegetable, Long Shuhai would appear, iming to be her father¡¯s younger brother.
Long Shuhai had brought a DNA test report which proved the rtion between him and Long Yifan.
Fang Manxue and Fang Ln had decided to ept Long Shuhai into the Fang family.
Three years hence, Long Shuhai became the master of the Fang family.
Chapter 93: The Suspicious Fang Lilan
Chapter 93: The Suspicious Fang Ln
In the beginning, Long Shuhai seemed to care for her elder brother, Shaohua, her second sister, Manxue, and herself equally.
He also appeared to be extremely respectful and protective of her mother, Fang Ln.
Once, during a family meeting, her second uncle even dered that since all of the Long family¡¯s elders had passed away, he would rece her father to care for the Fang family for the rest of their lives.
But she never felt that Long Shuhai treated her like a daughter. Instead, he genuinely seemed to dote on her second sister. It was as though Manxue was his true, blood-rted daughter.
Long Shuhai did not only enter the Fang family. He also stepped into the Fang Group and began working there. He started off as a normal employee and after three years, he became a deputy manager.
And her elder brother, who had been the original deputy manager, was now locked up in jail.
Although the Fang Group was named after the Fang family, it had actually been single-handedly built up by her father, Long Yifan, thirty years ago. Her father had kept thepany¡¯s name as Fang Group out of deep love for her mother.
Fang Ln was originally a housewife who never interfered inpany matters. However, seven years ago, she suddenly expressed her interest in working in the Fang Group and even asked to be the finance manager. Her father gave into her wishes because of his love for her.
Her mother made some mistakes in the beginning. It was gradually, with her father¡¯s support, that she ascended the ranks and came to hold onto her current position, firmly.
Prior to that, her father had independently operated thepany for years. Despite Fang Xinxin¡¯s engagement with Bai Qinghao, he never took a single benefit from the Bai family. It was after her mother¡¯s entrance into thepany that the Fang Group began borrowing her name, to obtain various projects and funding from Bai Qinghao.
Her father did not like her mother ¡®begging¡¯ the Bai family. As a result, they often argued. However, her father always gave in eventually.
Due to the support from Bai Qinghao, the Fang group slowly became stronger.
Three years ago, when her mother was able to hold her own in thepany, her father fell into aa. Her mother, thus, became the director of the Fang Group.
Right now, the entire Fang Group was in her mother¡¯s and second uncle¡¯s hands.
Fang Xinxin thought back to seven years ago. Before her mother entered thepany, she had actually loved and cherished her very much.
At that time, Fang Xinxin used to feel that Fang Ln loved her the most and cared for her elder brother and second sister in equal measure.
After her mother entered thepany, she gradually changed.
Fang Manxue grew to be the most loved, while the other two were neglected.
She often even felt that Long Shuhai, Fang Ln and Fang Manxue were like a true family.
Her mother had changed drastically in the past seven years. Fang Xinxin had even once suspected that she was reced by someone else.
Before her father went into aa, she often mentioned her thoughts to him. Long Yifan had also found it suspicious and secretly took Fang Ln¡¯s hair to conduct a DNA test.
However, the results revealed that Fang Ln and Fang Xinxin were blood rted mother and daughter.
Her mother found out about the DNA test, leading to a huge fight with her father. She announced that if Long Yifan did not believe in her, she would rather kill herself right there and then. Thus, her father gave in and was forced to swear that he would never suspect her again.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin¡¯s suspicion against Fang Ln had been squashed by the DNA test and she didn¡¯t pursue the matter further.
However, in this life, the seed of suspicion had long blossomed in her heart.
Chapter 94: Second Uncle Has Always Doted On You
Chapter 94: Second Uncle Has Always Doted On You
Her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, who always treated her well, was locked up in jail while her father was in aa.
Her brother was an honest and loyal man...
She refused to believe that he would rape someone.
There were too many suspicious matters in the Fang home waiting for her to resolve.
She needed to get justice for the people who loved her, and for herself!
Fang Xinxin was consumed with her thoughts and her mood turned downcast the moment she entered the Fang home.
Her father and her elder brother loved her so much, but were no longer present in this house.
Bai Qinghao noticed the obvious distress in Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes. He suddenly held her hand. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
She returned his concerned gaze and felt her chest fill with warmth.
At the very least, she still had Bai Qinghao.
¡°I¡¯m all right.¡± Fang Xinxin restrained her emotions and her expression became peaceful.
Long Shuhai also noticed her poor state. He asked her in concern. ¡°Xinxin ah, did you have any trouble adjusting to the Yu Ting Vi? Did you miss home?¡±
¡°Second uncle, you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Fang Xinxin did not show much expression while replying to him.
This was how Long Shuhai was. He always maintained the image of a concerned uncle, but would attempt to distort her image with his words.
¡°My experience at the Yu Ting Vi was more than a thousand times better than what I usually have to go through at the Fang home. Second uncle, why would you think that I had trouble adjusting to the Yu Ting Vi?¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression darkened. This bitch. Fang Xinxin was usually like a mouse. How dare she question his words in front of Bai Qinghao!
Ln told him earlier that Xinxin had changed. Initially, he did not believe her. However, he now realised that the lowly wench had really be brave.
¡°Do you mean to say that the Fang family treats you poorly?¡± Long Shuhai unhappily changed his expression to a stern one.
He turned to Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m not sure what Xinxin, this brat, said to you when she was at the Yu Ting Vi. But in the Fang family, Xinxin is the one I dote on the most. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have raised her to be so fat.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. Fang Ln and Long Shuhai often did this. They always brought up her weight as evidence to support their ims.
Fang Manxue had drugged her food, causing her weight to increase exponentially. The next time Fang Manxue dared to strike, she would definitely expose her!
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes unhappily. His aura was intimidating. ¡°Raise Fang Xinxin to be fat? You parasite, who gave you the right to speak like that?¡±
¡°...¡±
Long Shuhai was humiliated and immediately felt enraged. Unfortunately, he was dealing with the powerful Bai Qinghao, someone he could not risk offending.
He immediately smiled apologetically. ¡°CEO Bai, I am Fang Xinxin¡¯s uncle. I naturally have the rights to discipline her.¡±
¡°You¡¯re only her uncle, not her father. Are you delusional?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted one corner of his lips. His gaze was sharp and cold. ¡°In this ce, you¡¯ll only ever be an outsider relying on the Fang family for food and clothing. Remember your ce!¡±
¡°I...¡± Long Shuhai nearly could not contain his temper. However, he did not dare to argue with Bai Qinghao. ¡°Yes... yes.¡±
¡°Second uncle, why did you agree with him?¡± Fang Manxue could not ept this.
¡°Without you, how could the Fang Group have achieved its current position? You did so much for the Fang home but you¡¯ve never asked for anything in return.¡±
Her mother had told her that, though most of the projects and benefits were obtained from Bai Qinghao, obtaining them still hadn¡¯t been an easy feat. They would never have seeded without her second uncle¡¯s efforts.
¡°Oh? You¡¯ve invested a lot but have never asked for anything in return?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted his brows and turned his sharp gaze onto Long Shuhai.
¡°What¡¯s your position in the Fang Group right now?¡±
Chapter 95: Second Uncle Has No Interests In Swallowing The Fang Group
Chapter 95: Second Uncle Has No Interests In Swallowing The Fang Group
¡°Deputy... deputy manager.¡± Long Shuhai stammered.
Bai Qinghao smiled coldly. ¡°Is that what you mean by not asking for any returns? It seems like you¡¯re nning on converting the Fang Group into yourpany.¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s legs weakened in fear. ¡°Of course not! My brother is seriously ill and currently in aa. I¡¯m caring for the Fang family out of genuine concern. I don¡¯t have any greed for their wealth.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Bai Qinghao clearly did not believe in him.
Long Shuhai disyed an earnest expression and said, ¡°I swear, I will never own any portion of the Fang family¡¯s enterprise. The Fang Group will only be passed down to the next generation. If I entertain any alternative thoughts, my retribution shall be worse than death!¡±
In any case, he had never thought about swallowing up the Fang Group on his own. At most, he would use some of the Fang Group¡¯s money and hold onto some of its power.
In the future, even if thepany was handed down to Fang Manxue, it would still be considered as passing down to the next generation.
What was wrong with making a poisonous vow to reassure Bai Qinghao?
Bai Qinghao stared at him for a moment. Long Shuhai felt as though he was seeing right through him. ¡°It¡¯s still too early for you to y these sort of word games with me.¡±
Shu Longhai was covered in cold sweat. ¡°C... CEO Bai, I¡¯m sincere towards the Fang family.¡±
Bai Qinghao was uninterested in a small thing like the Fang Group. He was toozy to respond to his nonsense.
Fang Manxue had always known her second uncle and mother would hand the Fang Group down to her alone. She was moved to tears at this moment. ¡°Second uncle, you don¡¯t have to make a vow like that. I know you¡¯ve invested all your heart and effort into the Fang family. I believe in you.¡±
She tugged Fang Xinxin¡¯s elbow. ¡°Hurry up and speak up for our uncle.¡±
How could Fang Xinxin not understand that Long Shuhai was referring to Fang Manxue when he imed that the Fang Group would be passed down to the next generation?
Even if they wanted to monopolise the Fang Group, they had to first obtain her permission!
¡°Why should I speak up for a two-faced person?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her.
Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai¡¯s expressions stiffened. They cried out at the same time. ¡°Xinxin!¡±
¡°Look at you speaking in unison. Those who don¡¯t know any better, might assume that you are a pair of father and daughter.¡± Fang Xinxin chuckled.
Long Shuhai¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°I¡¯m your second uncle! You can¡¯t make these sort of jokes.¡±
Fang Manxue wanted to raise her voice but remembered that Bai Qinghao was present. She still needed to maintain her virtuous image and could only say in discontentment, ¡°Xinxin, you can¡¯t be this rude. CEO Bai is still here.¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered coldly. ¡°You sure are good at acting. In front of outsiders, you¡¯re always a good sister. If we were alone, I¡¯m sure you would already have started barking by now.¡±
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips. ¡°My fianc¨¦e¡¯s words always amuses me.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale from anger. She was about to throw a tantrum when she received a look from Long Shuhai.
She could only shut her mouth unhappily.
Long Shuhai respectfully gestured toward the sofa. ¡°CEO Bai, please sit.¡±
He turned to the helpers. ¡°Quickly serve tea to CEO Bai!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s chauffeur, Li Binpan, stood behind him and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to prepare the tea.¡±
Saying so, he lifted his hand.
Two maids immediately entered the living room. Oneid a luxurious, hand-sewn cushion on the sofa while the other brought in a pot of fragrant tea on a tray.
After Bai Qinghao sat down on the cushion, the maids immediately served him tea.
He had brought his own cushion and tea?!?
Long Shuhai did not be upset when he saw this.
The rumours imed that Bai Qinghao had a serious case of mysophobia and did not like it when others touched his things. It seemed that the rumours were true.
Chapter 96: Second Uncle Also Wants To Be Rewarded With Wine
Chapter 96: Second Uncle Also Wants To Be Rewarded With Wine
Fang Manxue had long grown used to this. Previously when she visited the Yu Ting Vi, right after she exited the main bedroom, Bai Qinghao actually had the carpets changed!
Perhaps Bai Qinghao had done so because she wore heels and went in.
This was because she had wanted to appear beautiful. When girls wore heels, it created an illusion of long and slender legs. At the time, she had wanted to show Bai Qinghao her most beautiful side.
The next time she visited Bai Qinghao¡¯s bedroom, she had better wear slippers.
Long Shuhai¡¯s gaze kept shifting toward the vi entrance. Eventually, he asked Fang Xinxin in confusion. ¡°Xinxin, why don¡¯t I see your mom? Didn¡¯t she go to pick you up?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I almost forgot. Mom didn¡¯te home with her.¡± Fang Manxue finally noticed this.
She shot an alluring look at Bai Qinghao. ¡°This is all your fault, CEO Bai. The moment you showed up, I forgot about everything but you.¡±
Bai Qinghao held the teacup with his long and slender fingers. He tasted the tea with a graceful movement and appeared not to have heard Fang Manxue¡¯s words.
Long Shuhai became somewhat flustered. He continued asking Fang Xinxin. ¡°Where¡¯s your mom?¡±
Fang Xinxin answered him honestly. ¡°Bai Qinghao ¡®rewarded¡¯ her with a bottle of red wine.¡±
¡°Thank you CEO Bai, thank you CEO Bai.¡± Long Shuhai rushed to bow at Bai Qinghao.
¡°The wine that CEO Bai gave must be very expensive. I would also like a bottle. I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll have the opportunity and honor...¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°Second uncle is pping the horse¡¯s fart all the way up to the horse¡¯s ass. [1. In Chinese, pping the horse¡¯s fart means to bootlick.]¡±
¡°How dare you say that CEO Bai¡¯s ass is a horse¡¯s ass...¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that. Second uncle, you¡¯re intentionally twisting my words.¡±
Long Shuhai saw that Bai Qinghao did not reprimand Fang Xinxin for her disrespectful words. He responded tactfully. ¡°Second uncle is in the wrong. I¡¯m not young anymore. Myprehension skills aren¡¯t as good as you youngsters. Xinxin, don¡¯t me me, ah. I¡¯m just envious that your mother received a bottle of wine from CEO Bai.¡±
He had heard that Bai Qinghao liked to collect high quality wine. Even the cheapest bottle in the Yu Ting Vi was worth at least ten thousand dors. The more expensive ones would have many more zeroes in their price tags.
Despite Long Shuhai being the Fang Group¡¯s deputy manager, he had never gotten the opportunity to taste even the cheapest wines from Bai Qinghao¡¯s collection.
¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was mild. This time, he was much more pleasant. ¡°If you wish to be rewarded the same way, you will have to get hospitalised like Fang Ln.¡±
Long Shuhai was startled. ¡°She... why is she in the hospital?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t Xinxin tell you earlier? She was rewarded with my red wine.¡±
¡°Oh, I understand.¡± Long Shuhai nodded.
¡°My sister-inw, Ln, must be drunk. She must have gone to the hospital to sober up.¡±
Even the chauffeur, Li Bingpan, could not stand this any longer. ¡°Yourprehension skills... Fang Ln received the bottle of red wine on her head, due to which her head smashed open.¡±
Long Shuhai finally understood his meaning and became frightened. ¡°CEO Bai, did my sister-inw offend you in some way? If that is the case, I apologise on her behalf. You¡¯re a magnanimous man. Please forgive us!¡±
Regardless of the reason, in front of Bai Qinghao, whose existence was akin to that of an emperor, no one dared to pit themselves against him.
The next time he asked for wine, he needed to make it clear. He had almost... lost his head.
¡°My mother is injured?¡± Fang Manxue also reacted. ¡°CEO Bai, is my mother all right?¡±
Bai Qinghao tapped on the sofa¡¯s armrest with his fingers lightly and did not show any interest in responding.
¡°Xinxin, is she all right?¡± Fang Manxue red at Fang Xinxin in anger. ¡°How could you let our mother get hurt?¡±
Chapter 97: Second Uncle Creates An Opportunity
Chapter 97: Second Uncle Creates An Opportunity
¡°CEO Bai rewarded her with the wine. What did it have to do with me?¡± Fang Xinxin remained unruffled.
But Long Shuhai was flustered. ¡°CEO Bai, I... I would like to visit my sister-inw in the hospital. Please forgive me for myck of hospitality.¡±
Fang Manxue originally wanted to leave with him. But then she nced at Bai Qinghao, who was seated on the sofa. His imposing aura moved her heart.
Regardless of the angle, he always appeared to be absolutely perfect.
Each time she wanted to see Bai Qinghao, she had toe up with borate schemes. Right now, the person was right in front of her eyes. She naturally would not abandon this opportunity.
Long Shuhai saw that Fang Manxue did not move and understood her thoughts. He said, ¡°Xiao Xue, you stay at home and entertain CEO Bai. Since we have an important guest at home, all of us can¡¯t leave.¡±
He waved his hand towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin,e with me to the hospital to visit your mom.¡±
By taking this slut with him, he could create an opportunity for Manxue to be alone with Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao thought that if Fang Xinxin left for the hospital, he would return to the Yu Ting Vi. He did not wish to stay for even a moment longer in a ce where she wasn¡¯t around.
¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up mildly. ¡°Second sister has always been filial. Take her with you.¡±
Wouldn¡¯t that be leaving the slut alone with CEO Bai at Fang home? Before Long Shuhai could express his disapproval, Fang Manxue shook her head. ¡°Third sister, mom has always doted on you. It¡¯s best if you go. I¡¯m older than you by a year. I¡¯m more experienced when ites to entertaining guests.¡±
¡°You¡¯re indeed much more ¡®experienced¡¯ than I am.¡± Fang Xinxin emphasised on the word.
Fang Manxue naturally understood what she was implying. ¡°Third sister, how could youpare the two of us? Your rtionship with men is unclear, but I¡¯m still a virgin!¡±
As she spoke, she blushed with some embarrassment.
Bai Qinghao disdained loose women and she took advantage of this opportunity to express her status. This would likely increase her value in his eyes.
Fang Xinxin knew that Fang Manxue asionally went on dates with men who were pursuing her. But she was not sure if she had spent the night with any of them.
Since there was no evidence, she would not make up any nonsense. She only said, ¡°Who do I have unclear rtionships with? Make it clear!¡±
Fang Manxue spoke up reflexively. ¡°Isn¡¯t it Bai Chenxi...¡±
Bai Qinghao immediately turned stiff. His powerful, oppressive aura enveloped them and filled the atmosphere with tension.
He said coldly, ¡°Do you know why Fang Ln was sent to the hospital? It¡¯s because she ndered Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi. Naturally, Bai Chenxi was hospitalised along with her.¡±
Fang Manxue immediately froze. Her legs began trembling. ¡°CEO Bai, I spoke wrongly, it¡¯s my fault!¡±
She did not wish to receive a bottle of wine like her mother had.
Long Shuhai rushed to speak up for her as well. ¡°Manxue misspoke because she is worried about her mother. CEO Bai, please don¡¯t me her, please don¡¯t me her. I apologise on her behalf.¡±
He bowed for more than ten times.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frighteningly cold aura finally dissipated.
¡°Come on, Xinxin.¡± Long Shuhai did not care whether Fang Xinxin was willing or not. He immediately began pulling her away. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital to visit your mom.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going!¡±
¡°This child, how could you be so unfilial?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine if Manxue stays back, but if I stay, I¡¯m being unfilial?¡±
¡°This...¡± Long Shuhai could not refute her words.
Bai Qinghao nced at Long Shuhai¡¯s fingers wrapped tightly around Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand. His cold eyes were as sharp as knives. Long Shuhai was instantly frightened into releasing Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist.
Chapter 98: Staying In The Same Room (1)
Chapter 98: Staying In The Same Room (1)
Wasn¡¯t he just holding onto a fat woman¡¯s wrist? Long Shuhai wasn¡¯t sure how he had offended Bai Qinghao. But the sharp gaze left him feeling like his hands were about to be chopped off. In the future, he better not touch her again.
Fang Manxue saw that Long Shuhai was speechless and immediately said, ¡°Third sister, didn¡¯t I say it already? I¡¯m older than you by a year and I¡¯m more mature. It¡¯s more convenient for me to take care of CEO Bai.¡±
¡°Speaking of that...¡± Fang Xinxin smirked. ¡°I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. It¡¯s more convenient for me to take care of Bai Qinghao.¡±
Bai Qinghao loved it when Fang Xinxin admitted her status as his fianc¨¦e. In the past, she had never done so. A hint of gentleness appeared in his gaze as he looked at Fang Xinxin.
Fang Manxue became enraged. Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e was supposed to be her, Fang Manxue!
However, she was helpless and could only insist. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯m going to stay!¡±
Bai Qinghao immediately spoke up sternly, issuing amand. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that Fang Xinxin is unwilling to go? She will stay here!¡±
No one dared to refute his words.
Fang Manxue could only back down. However, she wouldn¡¯t let things go Fang Xinxin¡¯s way. ¡°Then... both third sister and I will stay.¡±
She said to Long Shuhai, ¡°Second uncle, you go take care of my mom on your own.¡±
¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Long Shuhai responded. ¡°I¡¯ll leave CEO Bai in your hands.¡±
Fang Xinxin found these words to be problematic. ¡°Second uncle, don¡¯t worry, my fianc¨¦ will never trouble other people.¡±
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger.
The corner of Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips curved up slightly along with his good mood.
Originally, he found Fang Manxue to be a nuisance. She always went against Fang Xinxin and clung to him. However, in the past, Xinxin had never disyed any signs of jealousy. Right now, he was especially enjoying her defending her territory.
As long as Xinxin was not suffering, he could close one eye.
But if Fang Manxue caused his fianc¨¦e to face the slightest loss, it wouldn¡¯t be sufficient even if he killed her ten times!
Long Shuhai left the vi finally.
Fang Manxue approached Bai Qinghao. When she was two meters away, one of his bodyguards stopped her. ¡°Miss Fang, our boss does not like it when unrted people stand too close to him.¡±
¡°How am I unrted? I¡¯m his...¡± Fang Manxue struggled to say the words, ¡®sister-inw.¡¯ This was because she would soon be Madam Bai.
¡°CEO Bai, I would like to stand closer to you. It¡¯s more convenient to speak that way.¡±
¡°You can stand there and talk.¡± Bai Qinghao did not even look at her.
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned gloomy.
Back when she had the permission to visit the Yu Ting Vi, she often wanted to enjoy the benefits of her favorable position and would try to seduce Bai Qinghao. However, her attempts always ended the same way. She could not even close the gap between them.
She never thought that the same thing would happen in the Fang home!
¡°It¡¯s not early anymore. I already informed the maids to prepare your bed. Please go upstairs and rest.¡± A beautiful smile appeared on Fang Manxue¡¯s well made-up face. ¡°Your room is the second one on the third floor.¡±
Fang Xinxin gave her a mocking look. ¡°Fang Manxue, did water enter your brain? The second room on the third floor is your room. Asking your brother-inw to go sleep in your room, you¡¯re really fucking shameless!¡±
When the bodyguards by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side heard this, they all gave Fang Manxue disdainful looks.
But Fang Manxue was not embarrassed at all. ¡°Do you know how important CEO Bai is? I can¡¯t possibly assign him a normal room. My room is the best bedroom in the entire Fang home. The most important person naturally should have the best bedroom.¡±
Fang Xinxin asked her calmly. ¡°Then, where are you going to sleep?¡±
Chapter 99: Staying In The Same Room (2)
Chapter 99: Staying In The Same Room (2)
¡°Of course I...¡± Fang Manxue gave Bai Qinghao an alluring look... will stay with CEO Bai.
It wasn¡¯t convenient for her to say so in front of everyone. Thus, she simply said, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep wherever CEO Bai would like me to sleep.¡±
Bai Qinghao did not hold back when he heard this. ¡°Scram and sleep in the backyard.¡±
¡°CEO Bai...¡± Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip.
She said in a grievance filled voice, ¡°There aren¡¯t any rooms in the backyard. I can¡¯t sleep there.¡±
¡°Then don¡¯t speak without using your brains.¡±
¡°I just wanted to listen to you.¡± Fang Manxue acted spoiled.
The bodyguards standing on the side felt their goosebumps rising in response to her act.
But Fang Xinxin was unhappy. ¡°Bai Qinghao, are you really sleeping in my second sister¡¯s room?¡±
Bai Qinghao returned the question to her. ¡°What do you think?¡±
¡°My second sister has body odor. Won¡¯t you suffer if you sleep in her room?¡±
Fang Manxue raised her voice in indignation. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how can you utter such nonsense?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled in return. ¡°Did I speak wrongly? I can smell your stench all the way from where I stand.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, please don¡¯t believe her.¡± Fang Manxue rushed to exin. ¡°My body clearly smells fragrant. If you don¡¯t believe me...¡± She gave Bai Qinghao a seductive nce. ¡°You cane close and check it yourself.¡±
She had sprayed an expensive french perfume earlier. The scent was clearly sweet and pleasant. Fang Xinxin, the unsophisticated creature, would never know how to appreciate it!
¡°Li Bingpan. Go.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded.
The chauffeur, Li Bingpan, approached Fang Manxue¡¯s side and breathed in. ¡°There is a scent on Miss Fang¡¯s body. It should be...¡± He had yet to say it was the scent of a perfume.
Bai Qinghao finished it for him. ¡°Body odor.¡±
Li Bingpan could only go against his conscience to nod. ¡°Yes.¡±
Fang Manxue naturally understood that Bai Qinghao was lying to protect Fang Xinxin.
Since childhood, everyone had praised that her body was naturally fragrant. To think she would be mocked for having body odor! She was about to die from anger!
Herplexion turned red and then pale. She was definitely going to settle this debt with Fang Xinxin sooner thanter.
Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Aiyo, you feel aggrieved just from this? Normally, you mock me by saying that I¡¯m fat, tanned, ugly and smelly. Second sister, the stench in your mouth is more than a hundred times worse than mine.¡±
It was fine if Fang Manxue only mentioned her looks, but she often said that Fang Xinxin smelled bad. That was truly not the case.
Fang Manxue was about to say, ¡°I was only being honest...¡±
But Fang Xinxin cut her off. ¡°Bai Qinghao said that my figure is better than yours, my skin is smooth and tender, and that the sight of me pleases his eyes. Second sister, are you trying to go against him?¡±
Fang Manxue gritted her teeth. Her face twisted in anger. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±
Li Bingpan mustered up his courage to volunteer. ¡°I¡¯ll go and check if Miss Fang¡¯s body stinks.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Bai Qinghao could not bear for anyone to take advantage of his woman, not even if he was only going to stand from afar to check.
He said, ¡°I¡¯ve confirmed it personally. Fang Xinxin smells good from head to toe.¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin flushed red. She coquettishly sent Bai Qinghao a loving look.
Bai Qinghao, who was in the midst of tasting his tea, was caught off guard by her amorous, electric look. He swallowed the tea wrongly and began coughing.
¡°Cough, cough, cough...¡±
Fang Manxue had caught the look she sent him and spoke up in anger. ¡°Third Sister, look at you, don¡¯t flirt for no reason. You frightened CEO Bai!¡±
How could the extremely dashing CEO Bai possibly ensure such an ugly woman¡¯s attempt to flirt?
Bai Qinghao cleared his throat. His icy cold pupils shone brilliantly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I enjoyed it very much.¡±
Chapter 100: Staying In The Same Room (3)
Chapter 100: Staying In The Same Room (3)
Fang Manxue was enraged. How could he enjoy it when this ugly woman flirted with him? In the past, no matter how many times she tried to woo him, he would pretend not to notice her actions. She was damn upset!
Fang xinxin saw that her second sister looked extremely distressed. Her mood lifted instantly. ¡°CEO Bai, I admire your taste.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qinghao watched Fang Xinxin meaningfully. His tone was heavy and husky. ¡°I¡¯ll help you admire it even more.¡±
Irrespective of whether she liked Bai Chenxi in the past or not, he would make sure she only saw him from now on!
¡°It¡¯ste. Third sister, it¡¯s time you returned to your room.¡±
Fang Manxue turned to Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, why don¡¯t you send Xinxin back to her room?¡±
She would never allow Fang Xinxin to be alone with him. She needed to predict and make ns for any action that Fang Xinxin could take.
¡°I¡¯ll guide you. This way please,¡± saying so, Fang Manxue walked up to the second floor.
Fang Xinxin was slightly tired. She followed after her with Bai Qinghao trailing along.
They entered arge, well-lit, elegantly decorated and luxurious bedroom. Fang Manxue gestured to the room.
¡°This is my third sister¡¯s room. CEO Bai, though this isn¡¯t the best room in the Fang family¡¯s vi, it¡¯s still refined andfortable. We definitely did not let Xinxin suffer any grievance. We also did not starve her. Look at her size. Previously, Xinxin had imed that we deprived her of food and living. The evidence is right before your eyes. Everything she said was false!¡±
¡°Second sister, you sure are good at paving an escape route for yourself.¡±
Fang Xinxin scanned the room. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Fang family¡¯s guest room? How did it be my bedroom?¡±
Fang Manxue red at her in disbelief. ¡°Haven¡¯t you always been living here? How could this be the guest room? Third sister, you¡¯ve really be good at lying!¡±
She then turned to Bai Qinghao helplessly. ¡°CEO Bai, you might not know this, but my third sister has always been prone to jealousy. Although you may feel that she is more good-looking than me, most people find it otherwise. My grades are also better than hers. I¡¯m the first in my ss, while she is thest. No matter how hard she works, she can never catch up to me. As a result, her jealousy eventually became part of her personality. She often schemes against me. For example, she imed that she lived and ate poorly in the Fang home so she could gain your sympathy.¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin was silent for a second. ¡°Second sister, these words of yours are truly impable.¡±
¡°I¡¯m only speaking the truth. Third sister, I understand where you areing from. After all, aside from having CEO Bai¡¯s sympathy, you don¡¯t have any other merits.¡± Fang Manxue sighed.
Bai Qinghao did not care about Fang Xinxin¡¯s grades, nor did he believe she was prone to jealousy. He was about to speak up when Fang Xinxin spoke up coldly. ¡°Second sister, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely crush you with my grades!¡±
¡°Haha, crush me?¡± Fang Manxue appeared as though she had heard a joke. ¡°I¡¯m the number one beauty in Hua University and a top performing student. Forget crushing me, you can¡¯t eveny a finger on me!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her expressionlessly. ¡°If I seed, what do I get?¡±
¡°How about this? Soon, it will be our mid-term examinations. Although this examination isn¡¯t that important, Professor Huang said he would have our tutors assign us several important questions. Those questions will ount for ten percent of our total grades. If you do better than me, I¡¯ll call you my grandmother! [1. A sign of lowering oneself and giving great respect to the other party.]¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s not enough.¡±
Chapter 101: Xinxin Lived In The Store Room
Chapter 101: Xinxin Lived In The Store Room
¡°That¡¯s true. How can I let you off so easily?¡± Fang Manxue responded confidently. ¡°In that case, whoever does a poorer job will have to kneel down in front of CEO Bai and kowtow to the winner, addressing the winner as Grandmother!¡±
¡°That¡¯s a good idea.¡± Fang Xinxin agreed.
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Manxue sized her up in disdain and heaved a loud sigh. ¡°CEO Bai, you heard her. Originally, I thought to give you some face and make things easier for my third sister. But she¡¯s the one who is looking for death. When she ends up kneeling in front of me... please don¡¯t get angry at me.¡±
It was as though Fang Manxue could already foresee the day when Fang Xinxin would bow down to her in front of Bai Qinghao. She smirked arrogantly.
Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. He turned to Fang Xinxin in disapproval. ¡°You...¡± Aren¡¯t you being too rash?
However, he did not continue.
It was undeniable that, since young, Fang Manxue¡¯s performance had been way above Fang Xinxin¡¯s.
Forget it. Even if Xinxin lost, he would handle it. He would never allow his woman to lower her head for someone else, let alone kowtow to her.
Fang Xinxin thought Bai Qinghao would criticise her for overestimating her own ability. Considering his power and status, if his fianc¨¦e lost this challenge, he would really lose his face.
To her surprise, he did not say anything. He was really spoiling her to the extreme.
Bai Qinghao, this man had a frigid countenance, and was cold all the way down to his bones. At times, she had even wondered whether his blood was frozen.
Yet, in both lives, no matter what she did, he always doted on her dearly.
¡°Shut your beak.¡± Bai Qinghao shot Fang Manxue an unhappy look. She was instantly frightened into bing a mute.
Li Bingpan had been listening to everything the whole time and could not help but speak up. ¡°Miss Fang, as boss¡¯s chauffeur, I really shouldn¡¯t be saying anything. But you¡¯ve been performing atrociously from junior high school, to high school and finally, now in the university. It¡¯s your own business if you wish to have a gamble with your sister. But you are our boss¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If you kneel down to an outsider, our boss¡¯s face will bepletely thrown away. Have you properly considered the consequences?¡± What he meant was that Fang Xinxin was doomed to fail.
Fang Manxue was pleased with his words. Even the people by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side were aware of the basic facts. Fang Xinxin had truly overestimated her own ability.
Very good. If Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t that silly, how would she have the opportunity to thoroughly humiliate her in front of Bai Qinghao.
¡°Li Bingpan!¡± Bai Qinghao shouted sternly.
His expression barely concealed his anger. ¡°Who allowed you to be a busybody?¡±
¡°I¡¯m your subordinate. I¡¯m doing this for your own good...¡±
¡°Shut up.¡±
¡°Yes sir.¡± Li Bingpan unhappily shot an insulting look towards Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin did not bother to exin to him or anyone else.
She had lived through this life once already. She already knew the questions that would be asked during the test. How could she possibly lose?
But even if she insisted right now that she would win, no one would believe her.
Why not wait till a monthter? At that time, the truth would be indisputable and she would deliver a big p on the faces of all her detractors.
Bai Qinghao was overprotective of Fang Xinxin. This caused Fang Manxue to be even more unhappy. ¡°CEO Bai, let¡¯s not talk about the gamble with Xinxin for now. You¡¯ve always been fair. As you can see, my third sister has been living well and eating well in the Fang family, yet she spouted so much nonsense in front of you. She caused our Fang family to lose an eighty million dors contract from the Sheng Shi Group. How do we settle this?¡±
As long as Bai Qinghao agreed, the contract would return to their hands.
Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°You were the one who spoke up first at the hospital. I merely went along with you. If you didn¡¯t bring others to block my path, would such a thing happen? Second sister, don¡¯t try to push your responsibility onto me.¡±
Chapter 102: Taking Back The Contract
Chapter 102: Taking Back The Contract
She scanned the squeaky clean windows in the bedroom. ¡°I¡¯ve been living in the storeroom for the past seven years, as per my mother¡¯s arrangement. Rather than calling me I¡¯m a liar... why don¡¯t you admit to your own sins? For the sake of lying to Bai Qinghao, you arranged for me to stay in this room at thest minute! Second sister, you sure have be capable. Your acting is so real that you even have yourself fooled!¡±
¡°Aiyo! Fang Xinxin, how can you spout so many lies?¡± Fang Ln¡¯s enraged voice could be heard from outside. A few secondster, Long Shuhai supported her into the room.
¡°Mom, weren¡¯t you at the hospital? Why did youe back?¡± Fang Manxue quickly approached her. ¡°Are you all right?¡±
She saw that her mother¡¯s hand was wrapped with a bandage, while her head appeared unharmed. She asked her in confusion. ¡°Didn¡¯t CEO Bai ¡®reward¡¯ you with a bottle of red wine? Why do you have injuries on your hand instead of your head?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk about thatter.¡± Fang Ln felt that it was more important to regain the lost contract.
Since the contract had been taken away because Bai Qinghao was unhappy with the Fang family¡¯s treatment of Fang Xinxin, as long as they proved otherwise, the project could be retrieved.
Fang Ln spoke with heartache in her voice. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯ve always been living here. Why would you lie that you stayed in the storeroom for seven years? I have treated you as a pearl in my palm. How could you wrong your own mother?¡±
Long Shuhai also spoke up in anger. ¡°CEO Bai, I can attest to this. Fang Xinxin has always lived in this room. You¡¯ve also visited the Fang family in the past. I trust you know which is Xinxin¡¯s room.¡±
In the past, whenever Bai Qinghao visited, both of them would always ensure that the helpers knew what to say. They made sure to give the impression to Bai Qinghao that Fang Xinxin was living in this very room.
At the time, Fang Xinxin would either avoid the Commander or raise her voice and cause a ruckus. The two of them had never had a peaceful moment together.
As a result, CEO Bai had never seen Fang Xinxin¡¯s bedroom.
Thus, Long Shuhai did not feel worried about lying so brazenly.
¡°CEO Bai, if you don¡¯t believe us, you can choose whichever staff you like to interrogate. Ask them where exactly has my third sister been living.¡± Fang Manxue added confidently.
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Second Uncle as a witness? Asking the staff? You¡¯re all coborating together. Do you think the house staff would dare to go against your orders?¡±
Fang Ln said unhappily, ¡°What do you mean by coborating? I¡¯m your mom. Would I harm you?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you just work with Bai Chenxi to get me into trouble?¡±
¡°I already told you! I was misled by Bai Chenxi.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was dark.
¡°Don¡¯t bring up unrted matters in the conversation.¡± Fang Manxue opened therge closet and gestured towards it with a cold expression. ¡°CEO Bai, look. The closet is full of clothes. There¡¯s a whole mountain of it.¡±
She carelessly picked one up. ¡°These are all in Xinxin¡¯s size. Look at what I¡¯m holding. The price tag is still attached. This one costs one thousand five hundred dors, ah. All these clothes amount up to a lot. Third Sister, how can you still have the face to say that we¡¯re treating you poorly?¡±
For the sake of regaining the lost contract, they had invested some money into concocting this scheme.
They spent one thousand five hundred dors on a branded, plus-size dress and had ced it in the most obvious spot. They had purposely done so for Bai Qinghao to see.
The remaining clothes were all a few dors apiece. The staff had either bought them from the thrift market or from street vendors.
They believed that he would not personally flip through the clothes to check them.
¡°Look. Here are the shoes Xinxin usually wears. There¡¯s so many of them.¡± Fang Ln opened the shoe closet on the side, revealing more than ten pairs of both old and new shoes.
Chapter 103: Too Much
Chapter 103: Too Much
¡°And, and...¡± Fang Manxue approached the vanity and opened the drawer to reveal various cosmetic products neatly lined up. ¡°These are the cosmetic products that Xinxin uses. I don¡¯t use these brands.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, look...¡± Fang Ln approached the bedside and picked up a hair clip from therge bed. ¡°This is the hairclip Xinxin usually uses. She must have forgotten to remove it before she went to bed.¡±
Bai Qinghao had indeed seen Fang Xinxin using that hairclip.
Even Li Bingpan pitched in. ¡°CEO Bai, it seems like Miss Fang is indeed living and eating well. They haven¡¯t treated her poorly at all. If Miss Fang is still dissatisfied with this, she is truly too...¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qinghao spoke up with a heavy tone. ¡°This is too much!¡±
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and even Long Shuhai saw that Bai Qinghao finally believed them. They all breathed a sigh of relief internally.
It seems like their eighty million dor project was about toe back into their hands!
Fang Ln could not resist reprimanding Fang Xinxin at this juncture. ¡°My daughter, it¡¯s not that mom wishes to scold you, but our family has always treated you well. Yet, you¡¯re still dissatisfied with such a good living environment. I know you¡¯ve always been vain, but no matter what, you can¡¯t let CEO Bai misunderstand the Fang family.¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°You sure are my good mother. You¡¯ve even started ndering me and saying that I¡¯m vain.¡±
Her mother had indeed arranged for her to live in a storeroom seven years ago, one that even the lowest of staff would not use.
At the time, her father was still healthy.
He had strongly protested against her mother¡¯s actions.
However, her mother insisted she had visited the temple and received advice that Fang Xinxin needed to live on the first floor to reconnect with her luck. Her mother had insisted that if she did not go through some difficulties, she would have to suffer through major cmities.
Her father was not superstitious and did not believe in this. However, shortly after, she nearly had a major car ident on the way to school. She was also almost crushed by a heavy object falling from above.
Her father had be worried for her safety and decided that he would rather choose to believe in a possibility than to risk her life. Thus, he could only allow her mother to move her into the storeroom.
That is how she started to live in a damp and dirty storeroom for the next seven years.
For the sake of retrieving the eighty million dors contract from Bai Qinghao, it was likely that all evidence of her seven year stay in the storeroom had already been removed.
There was no need to visit the storeroom. It was likely piled up with actual junk now.
Everyone in the Fang family was determined to go against her.
In her previous life, she had already been thoroughly heartbroken by them.
She would not be hurt by their shamelessness again.
However, to think that even Bai Qinghao believed in them...
Fang Xinxin felt her heart twisting in pain and she lost the desire to exin herself.
Since she could not obtain his trust, what was the point in wasting her breath?
¡°How could the Fang family possibly treat Xinxin poorly? This is all because Xinxin is too vain. Otherwise, she would never have spouted those lies in front of CEO Bai...¡± Fang Ln bowed in front of Bai Qinghao. ¡°Thankfully, you are wise and have finally realised that our Xinxin is too much. You¡¯ve returned our innocence to us.¡±
Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai both gave Fang Xinxin a look, as though saying she deserved it.
At the same time, they were rejoicing that this little bitch failed to cause trouble for them and instead, ended up bringing retribution onto herself. She was an overconfident girl who did not know how to be satisfied with her circumstances!
¡°You are mistaken! I¡¯m not saying that Fang Xinxin is too much.¡± Bai Qinghao looked at Fang Ln coldly as though she was an idiot.
He announced coldly. ¡°I¡¯m saying that the entire Fang family is too much!¡±
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai all began to tremble.
Fang Ln looked at him and asked in a careful voice. ¡°CEO Bai, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡±
Chapter 104: Far From Perfect
Chapter 104: Far From Perfect
¡°Didn¡¯t Xinxin say that, for the sake of lying to me, you arranged for her to stay herest minute?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes coldly.
His gaze seemed to hold a murderous intent. ¡°She said she lived in the storeroom for seven years. Did you think that you could erase the truth so easily?¡±
¡°CEO Bai, don¡¯t believe in Fang Xinxin, she...¡± Fang Manxue was flustered and tried to exin herself.
Fang Xinxin cut her off. ¡°Second sister, even if you guys wish to erase the evidence of my existence in the storeroom, your efforts are far from perfect.¡±
Since Bai Qinghao believed in her innocence, she was naturally willing to show him the truth.
Fang Xinxin approached the closet and picked up the branded item which was worth a thousand and five hundred dors. She held it up against herself. It was clearly a mismatch. ¡°The size of this dress is 3 XL. It¡¯s too small for me. My clothes¡¯ size varies between 4 to 5 XL. Among the mountain of trash piled in this closet, this must be the only item worth any money.¡±
¡°How can you say that the clothes we bought for you are trash?¡± Fang Ln angrily reprimanded her. Although you may not be satisfied with them, you¡¯re stepping on our sincerity...¡±
Fang Xinxin brought the clothes out piece by piece. Shepared each one to her figure and tossed them aside. ¡°Look at this street clothing. This one is already covered in lint. Can these clothes be worn? Most importantly, none of these fit my figure... and they¡¯re not even worth more than a few dors!¡±
Fang Ln and Fang Manxue never expected Fang Xinxin to be so brave, and to directly expose the truth behind the clothes. They also did not expect her to recognise the value of the clothes. They assumed that, with her intelligence, she would only suffer blindly.
As for Bai Qinghao, they all knew that he had mysophobia and would never touch the things in someone else¡¯s closet. Besides, how would an unmarried man understand the cost of women¡¯s clothing?
Thus, for the sake of saving money, they did not bother to fill up the closet with expensive clothes. Now that they were exposed, they regretted their actions to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
¡°You guys are too stingy. You only spent on a single piece of clothing, that too with a wrong size. Did you think that it would convince anyone?¡± Fang Xinxin had pulled out every single piece of old clothing from the closet. Next, she approached the shoe closet. ¡°So many pairs of shoes! You guys said that you bought these for me, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Fang Xinxin tossed them all on the floor and tried to put them on. ¡°Can you see? Not a single one fits me. They are either toorge or too small. You guys aren¡¯t even aware of my shoe size. Where did you find the face to say that you bought these all for me?¡±
Following Fang Xinxin¡¯s words, Fang Ln saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was bing poorer by the second. She tried to stop her from continuing. ¡°Xinxin, what are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Earlier, didn¡¯t you guys mention that I lived expensively andvishly?¡± Fang Xinxinughed coldly. ¡°Then let¡¯s look at the truth.¡±
Long Shuhai was flustered. ¡°Xinxin, you can¡¯t do this. We¡¯re a family...¡±
¡°Look at the way you treat me. Are you truly my family?¡± Fang Xinxin was unmoved.
She snatched the hair clip from Fang Ln¡¯s hand. ¡°This is indeed my hairclip. Just because you found it on this bed, does that mean that I have been here? When you visited the storeroom to flip through my things, did the dampness and the stench frighten you?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was ugly at the moment.
She had been the one to retrieve that clip. The stench in the room had indeed been repulsive.
Bai Qinghao¡¯splexion was frigid by now. It was nearly sufficient to freeze them to death on the spot.
Fang Ln and Long Shuhai felt certain that their deaths were imminent...
Chapter 105: Injustice
Chapter 105: Injustice
¡°The make-up products I bought for you are all new. How can you use us like this...¡± Fang Manxue rushed to open the drawer filled with various cosmetics.
Fang Xinxin pointed at her own face. ¡°My face is covered in e. Could I apply anything on my skin? Could I possibly use any of those? Don¡¯t you know that I don¡¯t use cosmetic products at all.¡±
At most, when the weather was on the drier side, she would put on some moisturiser.
In the past, whenever she met Bai Chenxi, she would use some. This was because she wanted to show Bai Chenxi her most beautiful side.
Although that only entuated her e and made her look uglier.
¡°The only item I own was bought with the money which I earned working part-time. I used it for three years and it¡¯s nearly finished.¡± Fang Xinxin reached into the drawer and brought out a powderpact. She opened it to reveal that the product had indeed been thoroughly used up. ¡°There¡¯s nothing left.¡±
¡°Although you can¡¯t use the new ones I bought for you, they represent my sincerity!¡± Fang Manxue was insistent. ¡°I have good intentions.¡±
If your intentions had been sincere, you wouldn¡¯t have added drugs in my only make-up product! The thought of this caused Fang Xinxin to be infuriated.
As of now, she did not have any evidence to prove it. However, she was certain that Fang Manxue would not allow her skin to recover and would definitely target her again.
When it happened, she would make sure to gather the evidence!
Fang Xinxin decided to first resolve the ¡®luxurious food and living¡¯ the Fang family gave her.
¡°Let¡¯s pretend that you really intended on giving these to me. But if you really had good intentions, why did you buy me a one dor powder, a two dor foundation, a sixty cents eye shadow, a forty cents mascara, and a twenty cents eyeliner... it seems like this drawerful of products aren¡¯t even worth twenty dors all put together!¡±
¡°You¡¯re speaking nonsense!¡± The more Fang Manxue listened to her, the more flustered she became.
She stubbornly raised her voice and said, ¡°I spent several thousand dors on them.¡±
She knew that Fang Xinxin was a poor woman who could not afford cosmetics. She was certain that Fang Xinxin would not understand their value and she could argue her out of this as she pleased.
¡°Did you really spend several thousand dors on them?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her coldly.
¡°Of course I did. When has your second sister ever lied to you?¡± Fang Manxue looked as though she was about to swear her own life on it.
In Fang Xinxin¡¯s previous life, when the Fang family appeared to have spent a huge sum on her living space, her clothes and her make-up, she had been very moved.
At the time, she did not expose their lies. Not only did they regain their eighty million contract from Bai Qinghao, they also obtained an additional five million dors from Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao had given the money so they would treat her well.
In the end, the moment Bai Qinghao left, the ungrateful wenches immediately sent her back to the storeroom.
At the time, she had thought that at least, her second sister had sincerely bought those make-up products for her. Her mother had also bought her a mountain of clothes.
She never expected that, when she actually searched through the clothes, she would discover that they were all useless. The quality of the clothes was poor and not a single piece could fit her.
She had coincidentally heard one of the Fang family¡¯s servants mocking her. Apparently, the helper had bought those clothes from a street vendor. Her second sister had also bought those make-up products from an online store that was selling old, nearly expired products cheaply.
The servant had mocked her for treasuring those rubbish that even they looked down upon.
She clearly remembered crying alone, curled up in the damp room. She had wanted to look for Bai Qinghao toin about her family but...
In the end, she had ced too much value on her family.
Furthermore, the person she treasured in her heart was Bai Chenxi. She did not have the guts to ask Bai Qinghao for help.
Thus, she could only suffer another grievance alone in silence.
But how could she, Fang Xinxin, allow herself to suffer the same injustice again?
Chapter 106: A Helicopter Ride
Chapter 106: A Helicopter Ride
¡°Second sister, you lie to me all the time, yet you have the face to deny it?¡± Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and searched for a website. On that website, various sets of makeup products were being offered cheaply.
The products featured on the website were identical to the ones in the drawer. ¡°Second sister, take a look at it yourself. Look at the value of what you bought. All of these amount upto only sixteen dors in total!¡±
¡°Right now, there are so many counterfeit products on the market.¡± Fang Manxue refused to admit it. ¡°The ones I bought are genuine. Those are fake.¡±
¡°Is that so? Second sister, this online store has a shop in our city. Since you spent sixteen dors for them to deliver to your doorstep, how about I take these cheaply priced items to their store for a refund?¡±
¡°How do I know what store you¡¯re talking about? What if you already bought off the people there? You can argue your way out of this as you like. It¡¯s a coincidence that there are cheaply priced counterfeits online. I spent several thousands on these things.¡± The circumstances were already so dire. Fang Manxue was fearless about making things worse.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°The online store states that their products will expire in ten days.¡± She approached the drawer and picked up the powderpact and foundation. Both were still unopened. ¡°Do you see this? It states on the packaging that these will expire in ten days.¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue refused to give up.
Fang Ln knew that Fang Manxue had bought those products cheaply. At the time, she had even boasted about this great deal in front of her, iming that they didn¡¯t have to spend much to fool Fang Xinxin.
She saw that things would blow up if Fang Manxue continued denying it any further. She shouted sternly. ¡°Manxue, if you¡¯ve done something wrong, you have to admit it! How could you buy cheap, nearly expired make-up products for your sister?¡±
If they really went to look for the shop owner, the situation would only be worse!
Fang Manxue was pale. She peeked secretly at Bai Qinghao and saw that his expression was thunderous. Her heart immediately skipped several beats in response.
Bai Qinghao nced at Long Shuhai, Fang Ln and Fang Manxue. His gaze was enough to slice off their skin. ¡°The three of you sure are capable. You dared to abuse my fianc¨¦e, and for seven whole years! And then you had the gall to act as though you treated her especially well! All of you deserve to die!¡±
All three of them immediately trembled in fear.
Fang Ln spoke in a shaky voice. ¡°CEO Bai, ¡®a great man rarely stoops to pettiness¡¯. Please don¡¯t hold this against us. I understand that I was wrong...¡±
She tugged at Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai with her uninjured hand.
Long Shuhai immediately started to exin. ¡°CEO Bai, we were misguided for a moment. We only did this because we were afraid of being condemned by you...¡±
¡°Weren¡¯t you afraid when you conspired to fool me?¡± The man¡¯s heavy voice was filled with lethal intent. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll have to treat the three of you to a trip on my private helicopter.¡±
Fang Manxue did not understand his words. However, the moment he mentioned a private helicopter, her eyes lit up. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯ve never been on a private helicopter. When should we go?¡±
Did this mean that Bai Qinghao no longer liked the fat trash and was no longer protecting her?
Fang Ln gave a warning look to Fang Manxue. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly reward them?
As expected, in the next moment, Bai Qinghaomanded. ¡°Escort this group of liars to the helicopter. Toss them into the ocean and feed them to the sharks!¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± The bodyguards by the side moved to obey hismand.
However, Fang Ln immediately ran behind Fang Xinxin. ¡°My daughter, my dear Xinxin, you have to save us. I was wrong!¡±
Fang Manxue knew her third sister was an emotional fool who only reacted to soft tactics. As long as they appealed to her heart, she would lower her guard. ¡°Third Sister, don¡¯t be angry. Second sister was also wrong... I won¡¯t do this to you again!¡±
Chapter 107: Emotional Appeal
Chapter 107: Emotional Appeal
Long Shuhai appeared as though he was deeply filled with regret. ¡°This was all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have let you suffer so much. Xinxin, please help us beg CEO Bai!¡±
Fang Xinxin actually turned to look at Bai Qinghao. ¡°You can¡¯t kill them.¡±
If Bai Qinghao did so, she was worried their deaths would sully his hands.
Killing his wife¡¯s family would cause bad rumours to circte around him. She could not allow him to endure it for her sake.
Furthermore, her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, who genuinely doted on her, was still in jail. This matter was definitely rted to the Fang family.
If they died, who would help her overturn her brother¡¯s case?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with rage. He seemed to be contemting the best method to deal with the Fang family.
Fang Ln immediately sobbed and appealed to Fang Xinxin. ¡°My daughter, look, mom¡¯s hand is still bandaged. It really hurts.¡±
Fang Manxue also hid behind Fang Xinxin in acute fear. She wanted to change the topic and hopefully get through this.
Thus, she said, ¡°Oh yes, mom, didn¡¯t CEO Bai ¡®reward¡¯ you with a bottle of red wine? You haven¡¯t exined it to us till now. Why is your head fine, but your hand got injured?¡±
Fang Ln understood Fang Manxue¡¯s intentions and immediately exined. ¡°When CEO Bai¡¯s bodyguard smashed that bottle on me, I blocked my head with my left hand. My head is fine but my left hand was fractured. I had to go to the hospital to have it bandaged. There was no need for hospitalisation. I can recover after some rest, so I came home.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not pay much attention to Fang Ln¡¯s condition. It was unimportant to her. In any case, she would still have to suffer, irrespective of the hand injury.
Long Shuhai also joined the conversation. ¡°Earlier, I was headed to the hospital to visit your mother. I never expected to bump into her at the entrance.¡±
Back at the Yue Ya Cafe, how could Bai Qinghao not have known that Fang Ln had blocked the wine bottle with her hand? But he didn¡¯t care about this small matter.
¡°Thank god your head is uninjured.¡± Fang Manxue patted her chest as though she was frightened. ¡°Mom, I was so worried about you.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. She obstructed their ns and brought the conversation back to the topic at hand. ¡°Second sister, you didn¡¯t even make the effort to visit mom at the hospital, yet you have the heart to perform this act for me now?¡±
¡°Second sister is to me for all of this.¡± Fang Manxue detested Fang Xinxin for bringing the topic back up again. She had no other options and could only force herself to cry. ¡°Third sister, we have the same blood running in our veins. You can¡¯t watch your sistere to harm.¡±
Her tears always had the effect of softening a man¡¯s heart. Whenever she cried in front of the men who were pursuing her, their hearts would ache terribly.
She had thought Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart would move for her. To her surprise, his expression remained impassive. He did not appear to be even slightly interested in her.
Fang Ln added to the emotional appeal as well. ¡°Xinxin ah, mom needs to rest for sometime for her left hand to recover. You can¡¯t allow me to suffer anymore.¡±
¡°Second uncle is also old. I can¡¯t endure this sort of suffering.¡± Long Shuhai spoke in pain. ¡°Xinxin, please beg CEO Bai on our behalf.¡±
Fang Xinxin nodded obediently. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you heard them. Each of my family members have their own difficulties. You shouldn¡¯t let them suffer anymore physical pain.¡±
The chauffeur, Li Bingpan, and the bodyguards by the side found this difficult to watch.
Theymented in their hearts about Fang Xinxin being so dumb! The Fang family had bullied her to this extent. Their boss wanted to stand up for her, yet she wouldn¡¯t allow him.
They really couldn¡¯t support her even if they wanted to!
Chapter 108: Well Fed Mosquitoes
Chapter 108: Well Fed Mosquitoes
Fang Ln had always known that this dumb fattie treasured her family. She wouldn¡¯t actually allow Bai Qinghao to do anything to them. At the thought of this, she felt more assured.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold expression was filled with disapproval. He spoke up heavily. ¡°Fang Xinxin, these vile creatures cannot be tolerated any longer.¡±
Vile creatures!
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were all dumbstruck.
How could Bai Qinghao describe them in this manner?
They wanted to refute him, but none of them had the courage to do so.
¡°Regardless, they are my family. My family members are used to a pampered lifestyle. They won¡¯t be able to endure pain. A small punishment will do.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to be good-intentioned.
She even suggested innocently. ¡°How about this? In the future, be it before or after we get married, we won¡¯t give the Fang family anymore financial support or any projects. We won¡¯t let the Fang family rely on the Bai family¡¯s power and influence ever again.¡±
¡°What?!?¡± Manxue, Ln and Long Shuhai spoke up at the same time.
Their expressions underwent a change instantly.
As of this moment, the Fang Group waspletely dependent on Bai Qinghao for its survival.
They had managed to obtain contracts worth tens of millions from the Sheng Shi Group, one after another. It was an endless stream of wealth and luxury that they enjoyed.
If Bai Qingao really stopped supporting the Fang family, it would be their end!
¡°That¡¯s a good idea. let¡¯s do as Xinxin says.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze held admiration for her. He had thought that Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was too soft, but it turned out that she was much smarter than anyone else.
Li Bingpan and the bodyguards also felt better after hearing this.
They were their boss¡¯s personal bodyguards. How could they not know that the Fang family acted like bloodsucking mosquitoes, draining endless wealth from the Sheng Shi Group.
Their boss always gave in when it came to Fang Xinxin.
However, it wasn¡¯t right to allow these leeches to continue. Taking away their support felt even better than beating them to death. They suddenly felt that Fang Xinxin, the dumb woman, still had some brain cells left in her.
¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re too vicious!¡± Fang Ln could not hold back her reaction. ¡°By doing this, you¡¯re forcing the Fang group into a dead end.¡± She would rather be beaten up than to lose such arge, dependable mountain like Bai Qinghao!
¡°How am I forcing the Fang Group into a dead end?¡± Fang Xinxin found this strange. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask Bai Qinghao to block your way. You can still rely on your own abilities to do business andpete for good projects.¡±
Long Shuhai spoke up with a dark expression on his face. ¡°Xinxin, you might not know this, but,petition in the business world is extremely ruthless. A good project may have already been reserved by someone with power and influence. Even if wepete fairly, there are so many experienced, wealthy and even internationalpaniesing in to participate in the business wars. Fang Group is only an upper mid-rangepany. How could we possibly win against those people fighting for the meat?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Third sister, you¡¯ve never been good at business. You¡¯re naive and unaware of our struggles.¡± Fang Manxue mocked her.
¡°Under the current circumstances, for us to trulypete with others, we would have to really struggle, waste a lot of hours and invest a lot of money before we can obtain even a small project.¡±
Inparison, the things that slipped through the gaps between Bai Qinghao¡¯s fingers were sufficient to fatten the Fang family to death.
¡°And so, you guys chose not to put in the slightest effort, and instead sat down to enjoy the benefits, sucking on Bai Qinghao¡¯s blood endlessly?¡± Fang Xinxin summarised it sinctly.
¡°In this manner, you became a bunch of fat and well-fed mosquitoes.¡±
Their expressions turned dark and venomous.
Fang Ln reprimanded her in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that¡¯s enough from you! What kind of person is the Commander? With his status, position, and power, what¡¯s the big deal about helping his mother-inw? This is something he should be doing!¡±
Chapter 109: Qinghao’s Heart Ached For Her
Chapter 109: Qinghao¡¯s Heart Ached For Her
Furthermore, the position of Madam Bai would one day belong to her daughter, Fang Manxue. To think that they were borrowing Fang Xinxin¡¯s glory but she even had the audacity to be this arrogant about it.
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Long Shuhai also chimed in. ¡°Bai Qinghao¡¯s value ranges in billions. He owns countlesspanies and is involved in all sorts of businesses. He easily earns hundreds of thousands every minute. Why would he mind helping the Fang family a little?¡±
¡°Look at you, giving Bai Qinghao such a tall hat...¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly.
¡°It isn¡¯t about money. Even if Bai Qinghao wants to pour his wealth away, he would rather give it to beggars then to let you guys get an advantage!¡±
Fang Ln trembled in anger. She extended her uninjured right hand and pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°You... you...¡±
Long Shuhai rushed to speak up as well. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re not Bai Qinghao. An outsider like you doesn¡¯t have the right to decide how he will or should spend his money!¡±
¡°An outsider?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s face was almost split open with anger.
He sternly dered his stand. ¡°Fang Xinxin is my woman, my fianc¨¦e! In the past, I was willing to give help to the Fang family because of Fang Xinxin. Considering that you all are the actual outsiders, you naturally don¡¯t deserve my help.¡±
Fang Ln saw an inexhaustible amount of cash escaping from her palms at this moment. She could barely stand firm and her body swayed in despair.
Long Shuhai rushed to support her. ¡°Sister-inw, you have to mind your health.¡±
Fang Manxue reprimanded Fang Xinxin with an angered expression. ¡°Third sister, look how you¡¯ve angered mom! You¡¯re going against the mother who gave birth to you and brought you up. You really have no filial piety!¡±
She peeked secretly at Bai Qinghao, hoping to see disgust for Fang Xinxin in his eyes.
After all, considering his noble status, he would never like a woman who had such poor values.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern gaze did contain distaste, but those emotions were directed at her, her mother and her uncle.
Fang Manxue¡¯s heart pounded heavily with fear.
Bai Qinghao shifted his sharp, cold gaze onto Fang Manxue. ¡°Xinxin is my woman. You don¡¯t have any right to judge if her character is good or not!¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue wanted to say that as an elder sister, she had the right to discipline her young sister. However, she felt his sharp gaze cutting through her and the fear left her speechless.
All of a sudden, she lost the courage to badmouth Fang Xinxin.
¡°CEO Bai, you shouldn¡¯t spoil Xinxin so much. Although we have to bear some of the me, now that Xinxin has you to depend on, she finds us to be a nuisance. At this rate, she¡¯ll bepletely unrestrained in her actions in the future.¡± Fang Ln maintained a virtuous disposition, as though she was saying this for Fang Xinxin¡¯s own good.
Bai Qinghao did not care much about her implied meaning.
His dominating aura enveloped the entire room. ¡°She is Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman. Even if she is unrestrained, she will still have me to spoil her!¡±
His frigid voice carried an invisible pressure. As expected, no one dared to refute him.
Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful face nearly twisted with jealousy. She gripped her skirt tightly and barely managed to contain her anger.
This dumb trash! She was fat and ugly. What right did she have to enjoy Bai Qinghao¡¯s love? This glory was supposed to belong to her, Fang Manxue!
Fang Xinxin could not conceal her emotions. She was clearly moved as she looked towards Bai Qinghao. To her surprise, she discovered that he was looking at her with pain in his eyes.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart was genuinely hurting for Fang xinxin.
In the past, he didn¡¯t know that Fang Xinxin¡¯s so-called family was actually like this and that all of them had teamed up to bully and nder her.
Chapter 110: Bai Qinghao’s Heart Ached for Her (2)
Chapter 110: Bai Qinghao¡¯s Heart Ached for Her (2)
He really did not know how much she had suffered during the past few years.
He had visited the Fang family to see her countless times. On every asion, her second sister would put on the act of a virtuous woman. Mother Fang and Long Shuhai also appeared to be amiable and friendly, with nothing for him to be suspicious about. The three of them would always disy their deep ¡®love and concern¡¯ for Fang Xinxin in front of him.
He really wanted to murder these three hypocritical people!
As long as he desired, he could make them disappear from the face of the earth in an instant. No one would be able to find even a shred of evidence of what happened to them.
However, they were Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtives. He feared that killing them would irreversibly damage his rtionship with Fang Xinxin.
Forget it, he would not provide any more aid to the Fang family.
If they still dared to cause trouble, they shouldn¡¯t me him for not giving Xinxin any face!
The room was engulfed with a pin-drop silence.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gaze contained murderous intent and rage.
Fang Ln and Long Shuhai keenly noticed that Bai Qinghao was feeling sorry for Fang Xinxin and their legs began trembling subconsciously.
Fang Manxue¡¯s head was lowered in fear and she did not even have the courage to look up.
She peeked at Fang Xinxin¡¯s unaffected countenance. This dumb trash was acting as though everything happening at the moment was unrted to her.
In reality, Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger was caused by Fang Xinxin. She really wanted to strangle her to death!
Fang Xinxin approached Bai Qinghao and took the initiative to hold hisrge hand.
Inparison, her hand was extremely small. When she held onto his hand, she could only grip a few of his fingers.
Thefort and heat from her palm warmed up Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart. The murderous intent in his gaze also disappeared in an instant like a miracle.
Upon seeing this, Fang Manxue¡¯s jealousy intensified.
She realised that Bai Qinghao had deep feelings for the trash. It was enough to drive her to death!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression softened. He turned toward Fang Ln. ¡°This will be Fang Xinxin¡¯s room from now on, correct?¡±
¡°Y-yes.¡± Fang Ln nodded frantically.
¡°It¡¯s already 2.00 in the morning. She needs to rest. All of you can get out now!¡±
¡°Y-yes.¡± All three of them escaped from the room as though their bottoms were lit with mes.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand. The bodyguards and his chauffeur, Li Bingpan, also left tactfully.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were left alone in the room.
She lifted her face to watch him. Although his dark, heavy gaze clearly revealed his cold disposition, his eyes were akin to glistening mes. Their innate charm drew her in and made it difficult for her not to abandon everything for him.
A perfectly crafted silhouette apanied with a cold and stern disposition naturally had the power to shake countless hearts.
With hismanding height and figure, he could easilypete with the best looking European models.
There was no denying it. Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance was outstanding... there was no one above him.
Just by watching him, she felt her heartbeat elerate.
Her hand was still gripping his. The man¡¯s skin against her fingertips caused her cheeks to heat up. She felt her heart nearly escaping from her throat.
Since the time she had returned to the past, it became difficult for her to experience many emotional changes.
However, when it came to him...
She became like a young woman who was experiencing love for the first time.
Although she was only neen years old currently, she had already experienced ten years of marriage with him. She was considered to be a veteran.
Bai Qinghao returned her fixated gaze. His voice was slightly husky. ¡°Fang Xinxin, the way you¡¯re looking at me will make me think that... you desire me, en?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± She took a step back and released his hand. Her cheeks turned crimson.
Chapter 111: I Love You
Chapter 111: I Love You
He caught her little hand and held it firmly. He continued to speak in his mesmerising husky voice. ¡°No? Your cheeks have already turned red.¡±
¡°My skin is so dark. How can you tell if it¡¯s red?¡± At the thought of her darkplexion, she really wished that she could undo all the damage she had done to herself in the past. Was it possible to regain her fair skin in an instant?
He lifted his other hand and gently caressed her face. ¡°Your skin is almost peeling off from the damage. In the future... don¡¯t burn yourself to this extent for the sake of avoiding me.¡± He recalled that when she was young, her skin had been extremely fair.
Painnced through her heart. ¡°You know that I tanned my skin intentionally... and that I did it to avoid you...¡±
¡°En.¡± He nodded somewhat gloomily. ¡°If you really don¡¯t wish to see me again, tell me. I¡¯ll... try my best not to appear in front of you.¡±
God only knows how difficult it was for him to make such a promise.
Each day that he spent without seeing her only served to deepen his longing for her.
Whenever he had to stop himself from seeing her, he could sense himself losing control and be agitated.
He feared that even if he promised her, he would not be able to live up to his words.
She covered his lips and rushed to speak up. ¡°No! I always want to see you!¡±
Surprise filled his cold eyes. He asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°Really?¡±
¡°Really!¡± She nodded with force.
In this life, she did not wish to separate from him for even a moment.
He abruptly brought her into an embrace, holding her firmly in his strong arms. It was as though he was trying to merge them into bing one being. ¡°Fang Xinxin, if you do this, you¡¯ll make me think that you love me!¡±
I do love you!
She cried out in her heart.
However, she would not tell him this right now.
Both in their past lives and right now, the distance between them was akin to that of heaven and earth. It wasn¡¯t only so in the eyes of others.
It was a reality that she was not worthy of him at the moment. He was like the clouds in the sky, while she was a pile of mud on the ground.
I love you so much. You¡¯re my idol.
I don¡¯t want you to suffer any grievance anymore.
I will stay by your side forever, and when I finally be someone who can stand by your side, I¡¯ll be able to tell you that I love you.
Furthermore, in both lives, although she had deeply felt the love Bai Qinghao had for her, he had never once told her that he loved her.
Even moments before his death, he only told her to live on well.
He was a callous and frigid man down to his bones!
He showed his love through his actions, protecting her and doting on her silently.
He was not good at expressing himself. Perhaps, he even disdained saying such things.
Each time she provoked him in the past, it would result in him restraining her dominatingly and forcefully possessing her.
The loss of freedom only caused her to grow to hate him.
To her despair, their ten years of marriage was spent walking further and further away from each other.
She would not allow this to happen again! Her body ached from his tight embrace.
In her previous life, this sensation would cause her to feel repulsed. Right now, however, she was more than willing to be here with him.
She embraced his firm body and moved her hand across his back gently. She murmured his name softly. ¡°Bai Qinghao...¡±
His body stiffened.
She used to hate him, but now she was actually taking the initiative to embrace him back?
¡°Fang Xinxin, do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± He was shaken.
His tone concealed a hint of passion.
She pressed her face against his firm chest shyly. ¡°No...¡±
Chapter 112: Disturbing Your ‘Good’ Business
Chapter 112: Disturbing Your ¡®Good¡¯ Business
She could not bring herself to admit in front of him that she hoped he wouldn¡¯t leave tonight.
This way, they could properly ¡®nurture their feelings¡¯. After all, he was now deeply engraved in her heart. She dearly wished to make up for what she owed him in her previous life.
He held her in his arms and sighed. His cold, heavy voice contained heartache. ¡°Fang Xinxin, for the past few years, you haven¡¯t been living well.¡±
¡°With your heart aching for me, even if I didn¡¯t live well, it doesn¡¯t matter to me anymore.¡±
¡°Silly girl!¡± He pressed a kiss to her forehead and continued speaking with eyes full of self-reproach. ¡°Your family abused you to this extent, yet I waspletely unaware of it. I¡¯m a failure as your fianc¨¦!¡±
She leaned her head against his shoulder and spoke softly to him. ¡°This isn¡¯t your fault. You¡¯re already very good.¡±
All of this was because she once loved the wrong man, Bai Chenxi, and was blinded by him.
The people in the Fang family didn¡¯t have a conscience. Did they even count as her family?
His heart trembled, and he swore viciously. ¡°In the future, I won¡¯t let youe to any harm!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao, it sure is good to be your fianc¨¦e.¡± She smiled in contentment.
¡°It¡¯s good that you know this. In the future, I won¡¯t allow you to escape again.¡± He watched her smile. Although her face was covered in e and she was overweight, strangely, no matter how he looked at her, she was extremely pleasing to his eyes.
¡°En.¡± She nodded seriously.
He held her waist with one hand and lifted her chin with his other. Although her lips were bare of any gloss or lipstick, they were a vibrant pink colour. His gaze reflected his amorous feelings.
He was always uninterested in women, yet, whenever he saw her, she would easily hold onto his heart.
He was about to kiss her when Long Shuhai appeared outside the partially ajar door. He cried out loudly. ¡°CEO Bai!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s ¡®good business¡¯ was ruthlessly disrupted. He turned his sharp, unhappy gaze onto him. ¡°What is it?¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s legs trembled. He was frightened to death, but still thickened his skin to ask him. ¡°Uh, is it suitable to arrange for your bodyguards and chauffeur to stay on the second floor in the rooms around the corner?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± His cold and stern voice contained a hint of rage building up.
¡°All right, I¡¯ll go arrange the rooms now.¡± He knew that he hade at the wrong time, and was frightened to the point of trembling.
¡°Close the door.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Long Shuhai closed the door and turned to leave. But his heart remained wary. He was scared that CEO Bai would have his bodyguards shoot him down.
Bai Qinghao finally managed to capture Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips.
In less than two minutes, amotion could be heard outside the door again.
Bai Qinghao did not respond. However, the knocks only became more frantic and louder.
¡°CEO Bai, CEO Bai, are you there?¡± Fang Manxue called from outside.
Fang Xinxin pushed Bai Qinghao away.
¡°...it¡¯s too loud.¡±
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s waist and opened the door. He could barely conceal his anger and asked her. ¡°What is so urgent?¡±
Fang Manxue held a tray in her hands. There was a ss of milk, a te of steak and a bowl of noodles in it. ¡°CEO Bai, have you had supper? It¡¯s already sote in the night. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re hungry. I personally prepared supper for you...¡±
¡°No need!¡± His expression was dark and smoke wasing out of his ears.
Fang Manxue had learned from Long Shuhai that Fang Xinxin was alone with Bai Qinghao in the room. She wanted to give the dumb woman two tight ps in a fit of anger.
She actually dared to have thoughts about her man!
Yet, she could not do anything in front of Bai Qinghao. Otherwise, she would only bring more harm to the Fang Group.
Chapter 113: Fang Manxue’s Supper
Chapter 113: Fang Manxue¡¯s Supper
The repressed anger almost caused her internal injuries!
¡°My cooking skills are really good but I rarely cook. Normal people will never have the opportunity to eat food cooked by me.¡± Fang Manxue refused to give up and levelled an intimate look at Bai Qinghao.
¡°Only someone as important as you is suited to enjoy my... cooking skills.¡±
The words ¡®cooking skills¡¯ were spoken so softly that they could barely be heard. It was as if she was offering herself on a tter to Bai Qinghao!
If it had been any other man, his heart would have been thoroughly flustered by her teasing.
But Bai Qinghao¡¯s brows were tightly drawn and his expression was as cold as ice. His distant disposition did not reveal his true feelings.
Fang Xinxin mocked her sister ruthlessly. ¡°Such tant seduction! Only someone as shameless as Fang Manxue could do this.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s sharp gaze pierced through Fang Xinxin. ¡°Who did you just call shameless?¡±
¡°You¡¯re seducing your brother-inw in front of your sister. And you dare to say you¡¯re not shameless?¡±
¡°When did I seduce him? You¡¯re thinking too much!¡± Fang Manxue argued hotly.
¡°Is asking if my brother-inw wants supper equivalent to seducing him? Aren¡¯t we allowed to look after each other as part of the family? Besides, is Bai Qinghao my brother-inw already? Remember, you¡¯re not married to him yet.¡±
Bai Qinghao would never marry someone as ugly as Fang Xinxin!
Fang Xinxin was angered to the edge of her sanity. ¡°Your skin has always been thicker than even the Great Wall of China. Even if we¡¯re not married, I¡¯ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since childhood. Of course, it¡¯s fine for family members to offer meals to one another, but you came at 2.30 in the morning to offer supper to your brother-inw. You¡¯re in my room, yet you only prepared his portion, not mine. Your eyes are about to fall out from the way you keep blinking at him. And you still dare to say that you¡¯re not trying to seduce him? Since you¡¯re that good-intentioned, why didn¡¯t you prepare my share?¡±
As if the fat bitch had the right to eat her food! Hmph!
Fang Manxue could not refute her. So, she changed her tactic and pouted yfully at Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, Third sister has really wronged me. I really prepared supper for you with a good intent. I didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. It was remiss of me to not prepare my sister¡¯s share but I didn¡¯t do it deliberately. I especially wore a mask and gloves when I prepared the food because I knew of your mysophobia. Seeing that I personally cooked for you, please have a taste.¡±
Bai Qinghaomanded coldly. ¡°Ok, leave it on the coffee table.¡±
Fang Manxue had thought that he wouldn¡¯t touch her food. She never expected him to agree.
She had heard that Bai Qinghao never ate the food that came from unverified sources. Due to his important status, there were always people who had the intention to harm him.
epting her food meant that, at the very least, he trusted her.
Earlier, she had hinted that he was wee to enjoy her body. Was he, perhaps, willing to ept that offer as well?
As expected, it was still an easy feat to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman and to obtain the position of Madam Bai!
Fang Manxue became more and more excited. She shot an arrogant look towards Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin saw that Bai Qinghao was willing to eat the food prepared by Fang Manxue. Although she was angered by his gesture, she did not reveal it.
She wanted to see exactly how he would dare to enjoy the food her second sister personally made!#$
Fang Xinxin wanted to push Bai Qinghao¡¯s hand away from her waist. However, he was too strong and she could not remove it. She could only leave him be.
Although the room wasrge, there was no separate living area for sitting in here.
A red wood coffee table had been ced by the window, with a couple of red wood chairs.
With one look it was clear that the cushion on the chair was brand new.
Bai Qinghao dragged Fang Xinxin towards one of the chairs to sit down.
Chapter 114: The ‘Maid’ Service
Chapter 114: The ¡®Maid¡¯ Service
As he sat down, he pressed his palm against Fang Xinxin¡¯s waist with force, urging her to sit on his thigh.
Fang Manxue saw this and her beautifulplexion turned stiff. ¡°Third sister, how can you be so immature? How can you sit on CEO Bai¡¯sp? Get off!¡±
Originally, Fang Xinxin would never go along with Fang Manxue¡¯s words. However, she was angry at Bai Qinghao for epting Fang Manxue¡¯s offer.
She was stifled with anger and raised her voice toward Bai Qinghao. ¡°Let me go!¡±
Fang Manxue saw that her third sister was willing to follow her words and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Third sister is so obedient. Second sister likes you even more now.¡±
It would be best if this bitch returned to being the obedient dumb brat that she used to be.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao further tightened his arm and kept Fang Xinxin forcefully there.
Fang Xinxin twisted her waist and tried to move away but he held her firmly and she could not do so.
Suddenly...
She became aware of his body¡¯s reaction.
Not mentioning her ten years of marriage with Bai Qinghao, even after being reborn, in this life, she had already lost her first time to Bai Qinghao.
His desire for her...
Bai Qinghao¡¯s seductive voice contained his suppressed passion as he whispered softly into her ear. ¡°If you continue squirming, I¡¯ll punish you right here!¡±
Fang Xinxin felt that there was a chance Bai Qinghao would really take her here without caring about the situation.
Previously in the hospital, he had already done so once in front of Bai Chenxi.
However, that was because she had dared to elope with Bai Chenxi. She had deserved it. Considering his ruthless personality, he was already letting her off lightly by not killing her at that moment.
Of course, she denied the elopement after, but that was after.
Right now...
Although she knew his threat wasn¡¯t serious, Fang Xinxin still sat down obediently and did not dare to wiggle her body again.
She felt his warm breath against her ear and leaned into his firm embrace. Her heartbeat began elerating.
In fact... she really liked Bai Qinghao¡¯s perfect, strong figure. His strength and his inexhaustible stamina.
She could not help blush at the thought of it.
Fang Manxue did not notice their strange behaviour, but could tell that Bai Qinghao was refusing to let go of the fattie. She had no choice and could only ce the food in front of him nicely, but her face bore a stiff expression.
She was being considerate enough to slice the steak into pieces for him.
To have Bai Qinghao eat the food she personally made was a form of glory, wasn¡¯t it?!?
Fang Xinxin watched Fang Manxue¡¯s actions and suddenly recalled that she had never prepared food for Bai Qinghao.
In her previous life, she had really failed at her role as his wife!
In the future, she would take some time to cook whenever she was free, and practice making the dishes he enjoyed.
Of course, she refused to stay at home everyday to do the chores.
Bai Qinghao spoke to Fang Xinxin lightly with an amused glint in his eyes. ¡°Are you satisfied with the maid¡¯s service?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s back was still bent. She froze in the midst of cutting the steak.
She had bent down to serve him while Bai Qinghao was sitting on the chair, with Fang Xinxin in his arms. They did seem like the masters being served. Did that not make Fang Manxue the maid?
Fang Manxue had always been an arrogant, rich youngdy. She was used to being waited upon by the maids. How could she possibly endure such aparison? Yet, the person who said so was Bai Qinghao. She did not dare to offend him but her pride was thoroughly smashed and she began trembling in anger.
Chapter 115: The ‘Maid’ Service (2)
Chapter 115: The ¡®Maid¡¯ Service (2)
Fang Xinxin looked at him in confusion. ¡°There aren¡¯t any maids in the room?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze flitted to Fang Manxue. ¡°Isn¡¯t she right here.¡±
¡°...¡±
Only Bai Qinghao coulde up with this method of stepping on her second sister¡¯s pride. A moment ago, Fang Xinxin had been angry that he agreed to eat the food cooked by her sister. Now, her mood was great.
¡°I¡¯m satisfied, very satisfied. After all, my second sister¡¯s service as a maid is extremely expensive. Most people won¡¯t be able to afford it.¡±
¡°Hahaha...¡± Bai Qinghaoughed softly.
¡°My Xinxin is bing more and more funny.¡±
Fang Manxue, whose anger had been about to erupt, witnessed Bai Qinghao¡¯s ridiculously handsome smile and immediately became dazed.
After so many years, this was her first time seeing Bai Qinghao smile. Even though he was mocking her, he was still attractive to the point where one could not help but feel enchanted.
Such an outstanding man could only belong to her, Fang Manxue!
Since she had already been insulted, refuting would only upset the Commander. Fang Manxue decided to embrace her role fully. ¡°As long as CEO Bai is happy. Manxue has never seen your smile. I never imagined you to look so handsome when you smile. If humiliating Manxue can earn me a smile from you, Manxue is willing to be your maid everyday. After all, not everyone can be your maid.¡±
Fang Xinxin was speechless. ¡°Second sister, I couldn¡¯t tell. To think you¡¯re this capable!¡±
Her second sister was extremely beautiful. Just by appearances alone, she seemed to be a noble, well-bred youngdy. Her grievance filled voice and pitiful appearance made it such that even Fang Xinxin, a woman, could not help but soften her heart.
If the target was a man who had feelings for her, he would surely willingly do everything for her.
She suspected that even the cold and ruthless Bai Qinghao would be moved.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghao remained expressionless. He did not give Fang Manxue a single look. ¡°Too bad, you don¡¯t even have the right to be a maid!¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. She directed her hateful gaze toward Fang Xinxin.
To think that Bai Qinghao would say such a thing. The dumb trash must have spoken poorly about her behind her back!
Fang Xinxin received her second sister¡¯s look and understood what she was thinking.
The truth was that she had neverined to Bai Qinghao about Fang Manxue. However, she was toozy to rify it to her.
In any case, she knew that Fang Manxue would not believe her even if she exined.
Bai Qinghao suddenly called out in a cold voice. ¡°Bodyguard!¡±
One of the bodyguards immediately entered the room. ¡°Boss, what are your orders?¡±
Fang Manxue was slightly afraid that she would be tossed out of the room.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gaze shifted onto the food kept on the coffee table. The bodyguard immediately understood and retrieved a small container around the size of a matchbox from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a bottle of medicine and several needles.
He dipped the needle in the medicine and pricked the food on the coffee table. After checking that the needle did not show any changes, he reported respectfully. ¡°The food does not contain poison.¡±
Fang Manxue had not been thrown out but was humiliated in another manner. She was taken aback that Bai Qinghao actually had a bodyguard check if she poisoned the food. Her earlier assumption had been wrong.
He clearly did not trust her!
¡°CEO Bai, don¡¯t you believe in Manxue?¡± Her eyes turned teary. ¡°Towards you, my heart is... love... sincere. Even if I borrowed courage from god, I wouldn¡¯t dare to harm you. You don¡¯t have to do this...¡±
Bai Qinghao casually replied in a nonchnt manner, cutting off her emotional tirade. ¡°Who said I¡¯m going to eat this food?¡±
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face.
If he wasn¡¯t going to eat, then what was he trying to do? He wasn¡¯t someone who would waste time like this.
Fang Manxue bit her lip. ¡°Then...¡± Why did he make her do so much? He even humiliated her by treating her like a maid!
Chapter 116: The ‘Maid’ Service (3)
Chapter 116: The ¡®Maid¡¯ Service (3)
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s waist with one hand and gently caressed her hair with his other. ¡°It¡¯ste in the evening. My little wife, Xinxin, is definitely hungry. Although your second sister¡¯s cooking skill isn¡¯t as good as that of a maid¡¯s, it doesn¡¯t seem to be too bad. Why don¡¯t you have some?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s heart was swollen up with indignation!
Little wife! Did Fang Xinxin, the ugly trash, have the right to be addressed that way by Bai Qinghao? What infuriated her even more was that he was giving the food she personally made to this bitch!
The pig head does not have the right!
She suddenly understood the reason behind his actions. Previously, she had said that Fang Xinxin was only Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and that they weren¡¯t married yet. Bai Qinghao was clearly pping her in the face by responding this way.
She was angered to the point of wanting to kill someone!
¡°Sure.¡±
Fang Xinxin seemed to want to fan the mes of humiliation further. She yfully asked him. ¡°Qinghao, why don¡¯t you feed me?¡±
Since Fang Manxue dared to desire her man, she would show off their affections for her to witness!
She felt extremely emotional. It turned out he had epted the supper from her second sister for her.
Fang Manxue yelled in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that¡¯s enough from you! CEO Bai is a respected person. How could he possibly feed you?¡±
The bodyguard was also dumbstruck.
He felt that Fang Xinxin was asking for death.
It was enough that she was sitting on hisp. She even dared to ask their boss, who was akin to a god, to feed her?
Wasn¡¯t she afraid of being pped to death?
Bai Qinghao never expected Fang Xinxin to make such a request. He was dazed for a moment, before he picked up the knife and fork in a good mood. He picked up a piece of steak and brought it to her lip. ¡°Be good, open your mouth...¡±
The bodyguard¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief... his eyes were almost falling out of their sockets.
What did he just see?
His boss actually fed Fang Xinxin!
Was the sun going to rise from the west tomorrow?
Fang Xinxin opened her mouth cooperatively. After chewing for a moment, she gave her review. ¡°The steak that second sister put her ¡®heart¡¯ into preparing, the expensive service from the maid, and my fianc¨¦¡¯s sweet doting... it all makes me so happy...¡±
¡°Eat more then...¡± Bai Qinghao saw that she was pleased and his mood lifted along with hers. He considerately offered her another piece of steak.
¡°No...¡± She shook her head.
¡°I want to lose weight. It¡¯ll be bad if I eat too much supper. I¡¯ll just have another bite of the noodles...¡±
¡°The noodles are soggy. They definitely won¡¯t taste good.¡± He frowned.
¡°I¡¯ll have someone else prepare supper for you. The quality of Fang Manxue¡¯s food is below par.¡±
Fang Manxue nearly fainted from anger. Bai Qinghao had not taken a single bite of her food, yet he said the quality was below par!
Fang Xinxin, this bitch! What exactly did she do to Bai Qinghao?
¡°No, I really have to lose weight. You don¡¯t want me to fall sick, right?¡± Fang Xinxin pouted. ¡°I¡¯ll just have a sip of milk.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t starve yourself...¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze was filled with heartache for Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin quickly responded. ¡°I won¡¯t. Two small bites of steak is more than enough.¡± If Bai Qinghao had not been feeding her, she wouldn¡¯t have taken even a single bite.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was gentle when he brought the ss of milk to Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips. ¡°Take a sip, slowly...¡±
Fang Xinxin tasted it and stared into his heavy gaze. It was filled with tenderness for her. She felt her heart turning into mush.
The bodyguard who stood on the side felt his chin nearly fall to the ground.
Their CEO, who typically lived like a monk and avoided women, was doting on a fat and ugly woman?!? Was he still their CEO? Could he have been possessed by a demon?
Fang Manxue could not stand watching this any longer. She felt she had suffered a loss of ten thousand health points today and she really wanted to tear Fang Xinxin¡¯s skin apart.
She endured her anger and spoke up gently. ¡°CEO Bai, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±
¡°Wait.¡± Bai Qinghao responded coldly.
Chapter 117: No Way You Can Sleep Together (1)
Chapter 117: No Way You Can Sleep Together (1)
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°CEO Bai, do you still have something to say to me?¡±
Could it be that his heart was aching for her, or maybe he wanted to drop a hint that he woulde to her roomter?
¡°Take the dishes with you!¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression immediately turned poor. He was really treating her like a maid!
She did not dare to go against Bai Qinghao¡¯s order and could only suppress her angst as she picked up the dishes.
Fang Xinxin watched Fang Manxue¡¯s back as she left the room holding the tray with trembling hands. Her mood improved even further.
She was so happy that she took the initiative to kiss Bai Qinghao¡¯s cheek. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re amazing!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s body stiffened.
The little thing actually kissed him on her own???
His heart, that had been frozen for years, instantly cracked and turned into a puddle, a gooey chocte puddle.
The bodyguard watched the joy that could not be concealed in his boss¡¯s gaze and thought to himself that Miss Fang must be the reincarnation of a great demon.
A single kiss actually made his boss, who was usually difficult to read, appear so happy.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand and the bodyguard tactfully left.
Fang Xinxin was about to stand up from Bai Qinghao¡¯sp when he tugged on her waist and made her sit back down, facing him. He then lowered his head and reached out to kiss her lips again.
She rushed to cover his lips. ¡°No!¡±
His expression instantly darkened from her rejection. Could it be that she disliked his kiss?
Fang Xinxin saw his dark expression and knew that he had misunderstood. She exined hurriedly. ¡°I just ate. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯ll be a lingering taste in my mouth...¡±
She only wanted to show her most beautiful side to her idol.
¡°I don¡¯t mind it, why should you mind?¡± He tightened his grip around her back and lifted her chin, sealing her lips in a dominating kiss.
¡°Uu...¡± His kiss was too forceful and she felt her lips aching in pain.
How was this a kiss? He was biting her! It really hurt!
Bai Qinghao really wanted to bite this little thing to death. Who asked her to seduce him?
Fang Ln entered the room to see that Fang Xinxin was sitting on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp, with her legs dangling by his sides. She immediately trembled in anger.
The dumb trash was actually seducing Bai Qinghao so shamelessly!
What a slut!
¡°Cough!¡± Fang Ln cleared her throat loudly. She originally thought that the two, who were in the midst of a deep kiss, would rush to separate. Who would have imagined that Fang Xinxin remained wrapped around Bai Qinghao, ignoring her presence.
Bai Qinghao was oblivious to Fang Ln¡¯s presence. How could he possibly bear to let go of Fang Xinxin?
Fang Ln shouted loudly. ¡°Xinxin, you can¡¯t be disrespectful to CEO Bai. What do you think you¡¯re doing by sitting on him?¡±
Fang Xinxin was enjoying the never-experienced intimacy with Bai Qinghao. She really did not care about Fang Ln¡¯s reaction. Thus, she pretended she could not hear anything.
She only hoped that Fang Ln could recognise the situation for what it was and scram.
Upon seeing such a scene, most normal people would apologise and leave.
Who would have thought, instead of leaving, Fang Lnid down on the bed shamelessly. ¡°Xinxin ah, Mom mistreated you in a moment of foolishness. I will make-up for it, starting this moment. Tonight, mom will sleep with you.¡±
Long Shuhai, Fang Manxue and Fang Ln had taken turns to disturb them. It was clear they were trying to prevent Bai Qinghao from sleeping with Fang Xinxin.
The two of them were intelligent people. How could they not see through the scheme?
But they never thought Fang Ln would be brazen enough toy down on the bed straight away.
Bai Qinghao had mysophobia. Fang Ln, the old woman, had already spread her germs on it. How could he possibly still use the bed?
He let go of Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips with a dark expression. ¡°What lingering taste is there in your mouth? Even if you ate something, your lips are just as sweet.¡±
Chapter 118: No Way You Can Sleep Together (2)
Chapter 118: No Way You Can Sleep Together (2)
¡°You¡¯re so hateful... my mom is still here.¡± Fang Xinxin blushed.
Fang Ln watched them flirting as though they were alone in the room. She gritted her teeth in anger.
Fang Xinxin was not the kind of woman who deserved such treatment from Bai Qinghao. Only her daughter, Manxue, could ever be worthy of this pampering!
She originally wanted to order Fang Xinxin to stay away from Bai Qinghao. However, Bai Qinghao was right here. She did not dare to use forceful methods.
Instead, she tactfully addressed Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯ve arranged a room for you. Due to your status, only the best bedroom in our Fang home suits you. We know that you like everything around you to be clean. When we were preparing the room, we changed the carpets and bed sheets. It¡¯s already quitete. Why don¡¯t you go rest?¡±
Bai Qinghao trained his frigid gaze onto her. It was as though he could see through her with one nce. Although Fang Ln was experienced and had endured countless battles at
work, she could not stop herself from trembling.
¡°All of you are taking turns to appear here. Do you find this to be fun?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. Although there weren¡¯t any noticeable emotions in his tone, those who heard him could not help but feel shaken to their core.
Fang Ln sat up from the bed in fear. She put on a fake smile and said, ¡°CEO Bai, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡±
¡°It seems like I¡¯ll need my bodyguards to help you, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai see through things clearly?¡±
Wasn¡¯t he threatening to make them fall in line?
Fang Ln turned pale and immediately confessed. ¡°CEO Bai, please don¡¯t take this to heart. We¡¯re not disturbing you on purpose. The truth is...¡±
Her gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin is still a university student. If news gets out that you¡¯ve slept with her, I¡¯m afraid it will harm her reputation. I hope CEO Bai will understand my feelings of being a mother. I¡¯m truly worried that my most beloved Xinxin¡¯s reputation will be harmed.¡±
My most beloved Xinxin...
Upon hearing these words, Fang Xinxin felt repulsed to the point of wanting to vomit.
She really wanted to stick the words ¡®fake, old bitch¡¯ on her face!
Bai Qinghao stared at Fang Xinxin¡¯s face for several seconds. His sharp gaze could barely conceal his intense desire for her. He held her and stood up, before unwillingly letting go of her. He said, ¡°Rest early,¡± and turned to leave the room.
Fang Xinxin stared at his back. He was leaving just like that?
He wasn¡¯t sleeping with her anymore?
If Fang Ln being in this room made it dirty, she could go to his room, ah!
At the thought of this, Fang Xinxin moved to follow him.
Before she could take more than two steps, Fang Ln held her wrist and pulled her back. ¡°Xinxin, where are you going? CEO Bai told you to rest early!¡±
¡°I...¡±
¡°You can¡¯t be thinking of going to sleep in Bai Qinghao¡¯s room, are you?¡± Fang Ln was an experienced woman and immediately saw through her thoughts.
¡°So what?¡± Fang Xinxin admitted it without anypunction.
¡°You¡¯re still a student. How could you do something so shameless?¡±
¡°I¡¯m already neen years old. I¡¯ve been an adult for a long time. Bai Qinghao is my fianc¨¦. How am I being shameless?¡± Fang Xinxin shook off her grip and tried to leave the room.
To her surprise, a maid suddenly appeared and closed the room door. She could hear the door being locked from outside.
Fang Xinxin, the dumb trash, was currently being doted on by Bai Qinghao. The Fang family had just suffered a blow. Fang Ln did not dare to offend her openly and could only do this.
Fang Xinxin became unhappy. ¡°You actually locked me up?¡±
Did she think that she could stop her just by locking the door?
She had her own special abilities. It was a simple feat for her to go through the wall.
Chapter 119: No Way You Can Sleep Together (3)
Chapter 119: No Way You Can Sleep Together (3)
Thus, Fang Ln said affectionately, ¡°Xinxin, you have to believe me. Mom really has your reputation in mind. How could I possibly bear to lock you up? Aren¡¯t I right here apanying you?¡±
She patted the back of Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, now. It¡¯s reallyte. Mom¡¯s good daughter should go to sleep quickly. Go ahead and sleep first. Mom will go take a shower.¡±
As if Fang Xinxin would believe Fang Ln¡¯s nonsense.
She watched as her mom entered the bathroom. She quietly moved to stand next to the bathroom door. Through the door, she could hear Fang Ln turning on the tap and lowering her voice to make a call.
¡°Manxue, I¡¯ve already locked Xinxin in the room. I¡¯ll also be here to watch her. She won¡¯t be able to appear in the middle of the night to cause trouble for you. You¡¯ll have to rely on yourself for everything else.¡±
Although Fang Ln was speaking softly, Fang Xinxin had her special abilities. With a little concentration, she easily heard the conversation.
Hmph! So much for Fang Ln¡¯s worry about her reputation. Fang Ln refused to let her sleep with Bai Qinghao, but was now telling her other daughter to seduce Bai Qinghao!
Her second sister was only a year older than her. She was still a university student and they were even in the same ss!
This was her good mother ah! She was biased to the extreme.
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Was Fang Ln truly her mother?
Her experiences in her past life had been terrible. Despite having the experience of one lifetime, Fang Xinxin struggled to feel secure.
Bai Qinghao was far too outstanding. He was unbelievably handsome and his existence was akin to that of an emperor.
Thousands of women dreamed of climbing into his bed.
She was so fat and ugly right now. She was struggling to maintain the faith that he would reject all such women for her.
Her second sister¡¯s figure and face made her a first-ss beauty.
Tonight, Bai Qinghao was even arranged to stay in Fang Manxue¡¯s room.
She wanted to see how Fang Manxue was nning to seduce Bai Qinghao.
When Fang Ln came out of the restroom, Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold but hypnotic.
Fang Ln was caught unaware. When she met Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes, she immediately fell into a daze.
¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to bed. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke into her ears. ¡°I¡¯ll be fast asleep. You shouldy down and rest as well.¡±
¡°All right, I¡¯ll sleep.¡± Fang Ln approached the bed. She tugged the sheets aside and climbed in. To her, it seemed like Fang Xinxin was right next to her.
Fang Xinxin approached the bedroom door and paid extra attention to the noise outside. She confirmed there was no one in the hallway and activated her ability of passing through the bedroom wall.
The best bedroom in the entire Fang family belonged to Fang Manxue...
If Fang Xinxin wanted to observe how Fang Manxue nned to seduce Bai Qinghao, all she needed to do was visit the first room on the third floor, Fang Manxue¡¯s room.
When she passed by one of the rooms on the second floor, she saw through the ajar door Fang Manxue seated in front of the vanity. She was in the midst of putting on her makeup.
Her face really looked beautiful and bright. She was in the midst of carefully drawing on her eyebrows.
Aside from the bedroom on the third floor, this room had been specially set aside for Fang Manxue to store her clothes and make up. The treatment she received in this home was the best.
As for Fang Xinxin, there was no need to mention a room for storing her things. She herself had stayed in the storeroom for seven years.
The difference in their treatment was truly that of heaven and earth.
Fang Manxue stood up from the vanity and approached the mirror.
She was wearing a white dress. It was cinched at the waist and emphasised her thin figure. It also had a v-neck cor and looked trendy.
Chapter 120: Manxue Sleeps With Qinghao (1)
Chapter 120: Manxue Sleeps With Qinghao (1)
¡°Very good.¡± Fang Manxue admired herself and fed her own ego. ¡°I¡¯ve taken a shower. I¡¯ve also tried on more than ten outfits and found the piece I am most satisfied with. I¡¯m so beautiful. Is there a man who won¡¯t act like a wolf when he sees me? Bai Qinghao will definitely not be able to resist me.¡±
Her gaze turned fierce. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that ugly, idiotic trash. How does she have the ability topete with me?¡±
Ugly, idiotic trash... that was her second sister¡¯s true opinion of her. Outside the door, Fang Xinxin lifted a corner of her lip mockingly.
In her previous life, she had already learned of Fang Manxue¡¯s true colours. Her heart had been thoroughly broken.
At present, she was numb and did not feel much.
However, the truth was that Fang Manxue was indeed beautiful. She had the charm that most men would have trouble resisting.
Inside the room, Fang Manxue approached the vanity once more. She picked up an expensive bottle of french perfume and was about to spray it on herself, when she recalled the way Fang Xinxin had ndered her for having body odor. She felt that Bai Qinghao did not like her perfume scent and decided to put the bottle down.
She sniffed herself and made sure she only smelled of fragrant shower gel before setting her heart at ease. She then left the room.
She only took a few steps, but felt that someone was following her...
Fang Xinxin was right behind her. However, her footsteps were so light they could not be heard.
Fang Manxue turned around abruptly but did not see anyone.
This was because Fang Xinxin had perfected her ability... she had made herself invisible.
A cold breeze entered through the windows and blew past her.
¡°I must be over-imagining things. How could there be someone following me?¡± Fang Manxue did not want to scare herself. Her body was covered in goosebumps from the cold. She wrapped her arms around herself and rushed toward the third floor.
Fang Xinxin sneered.
So her second sister had some awareness in her.
It was the first room on the third floor. It¡¯s door was firmly shut.
Fang Manxue took in a deep breath. She lifted her hand and curled her fingers to knock on the door.
She then appeared to have thought of something and changed her mind. She ced her hand on the door knob and twisted it lightly. ¡°He actually locked it from inside.¡±
Did Bai Qinghao think that a locked door could stop her?
This was her room.
She brought out a key and tried to unlock the door quietly.
Creak...
With a light noise, the room door was pushed open.
The thick curtains covered the windows fully. It waste in the night and pitch-ck in the room. She could not see her own fingers when she extended her hands.
Fang Manxue had sneaked into her own room. Even if she had trouble seeing, she could easily navigate the space.
She looked towards therge bed and vaguely saw that there was a figure asleep on the bed.
Based on the shape inside the nket, it was clearly the figure of a tall man with a good figure.
Bai Qinghao!
At the thought that she was about to share a bed with him, about to be his woman, Fang Manxue could not suppress the agitation in her heart.
She did not make any noise as she quietly approached the bed.
The man on the bed had his back towards her.
She hesitated and wondered if she should crawl into the nket with him right away.
Bai Qinghao was famous for refusing to touch women. She had heard that even the women he had been close to, were firmly kicked and sent flying after they attempted to approach him.
She really did not know how Fang Xinxin, that weirdo, made it so that he would not resist her touch.
Fang Manxue was fearful of being kicked. However, she didn¡¯t want to give up.
She hesitated for several seconds before pinching a corner of the sheets. She sneakily slipped inside of the nkets andid down behind him.
To her surprise... he did not react?
It was already four in the morning. He was likely to be exhausted.
Usually, this was the time where most people were in deep sleep.
Chapter 121: Manxue Sleeps With Qinghao (2)
Chapter 121: Manxue Sleeps With Qinghao (2)
Fang Xinxin stood outside the room door as she thought things over. Based on Bai Qinghao¡¯s awareness, there was no way he did not notice Fang Manxue unlocking the door.
Since a young age, Bai Qinghao had been trained in boxing, closebat, shooting, and many more deadly skills. He had been taught by the most brilliant minds and his senses were extremely keen. Even a well-trained mercenary would have trouble catching up to him.
She recalled the way she had stirred up Bai Qinghao¡¯s desire earlier. He was an intelligent man. Fang Manxue had used words like ¡®for him to enjoy¡¯ earlier when she delivered the food and even arranged for him to sleep in her room.
He definitely knew that Fang Manxue nned toe to deliver her own ¡®body¡¯.
Yet, he remained silent. Was he really allowing Fang Manxue to climb into his bed?
A great beauty like her second sister was taking the initiative to offer her own body. Were there any men who could resist this?
If something truly happened between Bai Qinghao and her second sister... Fang Xinxin peeked into the slightly ajar room door to stare at the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling...
No! She would never allow her, Fang Xinxin¡¯s man, to be taken advantage of by Fang Manxue.
When this pair of adulterous couple took off their clothes to be intimate, she would use her own abilities to crash the chandelier on their bodies. She would have them die on the bed and be open for the world to take in the shameless behaviour.
Afterwards...
There would be an exciting headline tomorrow morning, for this ¡®loving couple¡¯ to be remembered for the rest of their lives.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts ran through her head before her gaze shifted once again onto the lump of nket on the bed.
The figure on the bed definitely was that of a tall man with a good figure. Could it be that...
She could not see the man¡¯s face from where she stood.
Furthermore, the nket was tugged all the way up and she could only see his ck hair peeking out.
Fang Manxue had snuck under the covers by now. It waspletely pitch-ck. It was even more difficult for her to see.
Thus, Fang Xinxin silently entered the room to gain a better look.
Fang Manxue had climbed into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed with much difficulty and finally managed toy down behind him. Her heart was extremely agitated by the fact that she was currently on the same bed as him.
If Bai Qinghao touched her, tomorrow, when the news went out, everyone would believe Bai Qinghao had taken the initiative to approach her. No one would think she had intentionally seduced him.
She would definitely make Bai Qinghao take responsibility for her.
Even if Bai Qinghao held back the desire to touch her, he was currently sleeping in her room.
A man had entered a woman¡¯s room to sleep with her. She would definitely insist he had taken advantage of her and ensure that news of them went viral.
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s status and power, he would definitely suppress the rumours to some extent.
Still, she would force him to marry her!
In any case, since he had entered her room, he would have to give up all hopes of escaping from her grasp.
It would be best if he willingly took her body and announced to everyone that he was dumping Fang Xinxin, that ugly trash.
That would save her a lot of trouble.
Fang Manxue reached a decisive thought and extended her palm to touch the man¡¯s arm.
What a firm arm...
Even through the fabric of his sleepwear, she knew that this was the figure of a young man who trained frequently.
She had heard that no one had ever touched Bai Qinghao¡¯s body.
A hint of arrogance surfaced in Fang Manxue¡¯s heart.
Look, she had already touched him. Yet, he didn¡¯t push her away.
This clearly indicated that Bai Qinghao also had some sort of feelings for her!
Previously, she had tried so hard to seduce Bai Qinghao. To think he always pretended to be unmoved by her!!
Now she felt that she had been too inconsiderate. She should not have expressed her feelings for him in front of others.
Chapter 122: Stepping Out Of The Line
Chapter 122: Stepping Out Of The Line
Given his position and his current status as her sister¡¯s fianc¨¦, he still needed to worry about his own face.
She should have privately ¡®flirted¡¯ with him.
Who said Bai Qinghao disdained touching women? He was even willing to sleep with someone as ugly as Fang Xinxin.
Her figure and appearance were both outstanding. Fang Xinxin could not even lift a finger against her. As if Bai Qinghao wouldn¡¯t be moved by her.
As her skin came into contact with the man¡¯s figure, she clearly felt him trembling slightly.
He was awake!
He did not resist her touch.
This encouraged her to take another step.
Her lips curved into a smug smile. Fang Manxue stretched her arms out to hold his waist from behind and pressed her chest closely against his back.
In the dark, the man¡¯s entire body stiffened from his nerves.
This woman wasn¡¯t only embracing him. She was pressing her chest against his back and... rubbing.
¡°Bai Qinghao... Manxue likes you. I¡¯ve admired you since young...¡± Fang Manxue spoke softly and somewhat gloomily.
¡°But you are Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I could only admire you from afar. I¡¯ve long fallen head over heels in love with you. I can¡¯t live without you, and I really can¡¯t conceal my feelings for you anymore.¡±
Fang Xinxin stood a step away from the bed. She watched the two who were pressed intimately under the sheets and listened to Fang Manxue expressing her love.
Although it was pitch dark in the room, she stood close to them and was able to see the man¡¯s face. She smiled mischievously.
It was time to watch a good show!
The man¡¯s breathing became slightly rough. He seemed unsure.
Fang Manxue continued in her seductive, mewling voice. ¡°Please don¡¯t reject me, alright?¡±
She shifted and pressed herself even closer to him.
She saw that he hadn¡¯t resisted any of her overtures till now.
¡°Good moments always pass by quickly. Tonight, Manxue... will definitely serve you well!¡± Fang Manxue was pleased with herself. She leaned over and pressed a kiss on his cheek.
His breathing became rougher.
She felt a little confused. Why wasn¡¯t he responding?
Furthermore, he did not make any attempts to push her away. She began to feel suspicious. She had taken Bai Qinghao down so easily... something didn¡¯t seem to be right!
She could not see in the dark and began to use her hands to feel him. The face under her fingertips was clearly different from that of Bai Qinghao¡¯s face.
She immediately reached for the bedside table. The room was illuminated in an instant.
When Fang Manxue gained a proper look at the man¡¯s face, she shrieked loudly. ¡°Ah!¡±
But she seemed to have thought of something and immediately covered her own lips.
She got off the bed in an instant, moving so quickly that she nearly bumped into Fang Xinxin, who was still invisible.
Thankfully, Fang Xinxin responded quickly and shifted away. Otherwise, they would have knocked into each other.
Fang Manxue stood dumbstruck by the bedside. She red at the man on the bed and raged in disbelief, ¡°Why is it you? Why isn¡¯t it Bai Qinghao?¡±
The chauffeur, Li Bingpan, had an innocent expression on his face. ¡°Why can¡¯t it be me?¡±
¡°This room was clearly arranged for Bai Qinghao!¡± She raised her voice.
¡°I know. The most luxurious room in the entire Fang home is yours.¡± Li Bingpan said with a nod.
¡°But are you slightly retarded? Will my boss sleep here just because you arranged for him to?¡±
¡°He didn¡¯t refuse...¡±
¡°He also didn¡¯t promise anything.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. You¡¯re a chauffeur yet to take your employer¡¯s room, you¡¯re stepping out of line!¡±
¡°Miss Fang sure knows a lot.¡± Li Bingpan decided to sit up. ¡°Unfortunately, it was the boss¡¯s order for me to sleep here. Your so-called ¡®stepping out of line¡¯ did not ur.¡±
Chapter 123: I Only Like Him
Chapter 123: I Only Like Him
Fang Manxue had nowhere to vent her anger and began to reprimand him. ¡°Fine, even if Bai Qinghao made you sleep here, you knew that I... I had climbed into your bed. Why didn¡¯t you stop me?¡±
¡°Those legs are your own. You wanted to climb into my bed. How was I supposed to stop you?¡± Li Bingpan returned the question to her.
¡°Besides, it¡¯ste at night. I¡¯m a single, hot-blooded young man, and there¡¯s a beautiful woman climbing into my bed. Only an idiot would try to push you away.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s anger intensified.
She was resentful but when she heard him describe her as a beautiful woman, her expression became better. Her tone remained sharp though. ¡°You¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s chauffeur. No matter what, you should have clearly heard that the person I admire is your boss. There¡¯s a chance I may be your CEO¡¯s future wife. Based on that alone, you shouldn¡¯t have allowed me to misunderstand that you were Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Li Bingpan admitted it easily. ¡°There¡¯s no harm in being honest with you. This elder has picked up a good chore tonight. Boss gave me amand. I am to sleep in this bedroom tonight and no matter which beauty chooses to throw herself at me, I am to enjoy her to my heart¡¯s content. Unfortunately...¡±
His burning gaze scanned Fang Manxue¡¯s figure up and down. ¡°If you were slightly dumber and had misunderstood me for Boss, we could have enjoyed a night full of passion. Why did you notice it was me so quickly? Why don¡¯t we continue from where we left off...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Fang Manxue shouted. Herplexion was pale and her eyes had reddened. ¡°The man I love is Bai Qinghao.¡±
She finally understood the situation. She had been thoroughly deceived by Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao had not only refused to ept her, but also tried to toss her away to his chauffeur. She really wanted to die from anger.
How could a small, poor chauffeur possibly have the right to own her body? She wanted Bai Qinghao, who had the ability to turn the world upside down with his wealth!
Fang Xinxin was deeply immersed in watching this exciting show.
Fang Manxue had seduced the wrong man and climbed into the wrong bed. This was truly entertaining. This was an event that would ur only once in a blue moon.
Bai Qinghao was truly ruthless. He could evene up with this method of fooling Fang Manxue. As expected, he was a good, loyal man.
She felt guilty for her earlier suspicion towards Bai Qinghao. She really should not have doubted his sincerity.
Li Bingpan saw that Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was pale and she was trembling in anger. He recalled the way she seduced him earlier. No matter what, he was still a young man in his twenties. He could not help but feel protective towards her. ¡°All right. Don¡¯t be upset. It¡¯s not as if anything happened between us.¡±
¡°What do you mean nothing happened between us?¡± Fang Manxue changed his words. ¡°I didn¡¯te here tonight.¡±
¡°Are you dumb?¡± Li Bingpan responded, ¡°What if someone saw youing up the third floor, or, what if someone heard your raised voice earlier...¡±
Listening to him, Fang Manxue became flustered.
She discovered that the room door was slightly ajar. She rushed toward the doorside and peeked her head out. After confirming there was no one outside, she closed the door.
Li Bingpan did not understand her actions. ¡°Beautiful, do you still want to continue what we were doing earlier? I¡¯m happy toply!¡±
¡°In your dreams!¡± Fang Manxue rolled her eyes and looked at him in disdain. ¡°I¡¯ve said this before. My body can only belong to Bai Qinghao! I only like him!¡±
¡°You sure seem to be pretty infatuated with my boss. Unfortunately, his heart is even firmer than steel. He... seems to be only interested in Fang Xinxin.¡±
Fang Manxue gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t lose to Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°What does that have to do with me...¡±
Chapter 124: New Scheme
Chapter 124: New Scheme
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression suddenly became gentle. She said apologetically, ¡°Handsome Brother Li, my attitude was poor earlier. I apologise to you.¡±
Li Bingpan stared at her in confusion. ¡°Beautiful, you were like a female tiger earlier and now you¡¯re acting like a little sheep. Your attitude changed so quickly. Is this some sort of scheme?¡±
Fang Xinxin, who had been deeply immersed in this entertaining show, also felt that her second sister was nning something.
¡°Handsome Brother Li, you may not know this...¡± Fang Manxue cried and confided in Li Bingpan. Her expression was extremely pitiful.
¡°I¡¯ve admired Bai Qinghao since young, but he has never taken a proper look at me. I¡¯ve always cared deeply for my third sister, Fang Xinxin, but she has always bad-mouthed me in front of Bai Qinghao. This is the reason why he dislikes me so much. It was all because of Fang Xinxin. Fang Xinxin is so fat and ugly. How could she possibly suit Bai Qinghao? If he really married her, his face would be totally lost. Bai Qinghao shouldn¡¯t marry Fang Xinxin. I am saying this for his own good.¡±
Fang Xinxin heard her weave the sob-story but did not be angry.
Since they were young, Fang Manxue had never taken care of her. Moreover, Fang Xinxin did not badmouth Fang Manxue in front of Bai Qinghao even once.
This bitch was blindlying up with lies.
Stepping on her and pretending to be weak were Fang Manxue¡¯s all time favorite schemes.
Li Bingpan responded pragmatically. ¡°Even if my CEO does not marry Fang Xinxin, it doesn¡¯t mean he will marry you...¡±
Although Fang Manxue was enraged by his words, she still maintained her pitiful appearance. ¡°But I will continue to work hard. Even if I die, I won¡¯t give up on Bai Qinghao. Can you bear to see me waste away my life like this?¡±
¡°Ai... you, how does this link to you dying?¡± Li Bingpan was confused.
Fang Xinxin guessed that Fang Manxue was about to arrive at the main point. She reached into her pocket and sneakily tapped on her phone. She was going to record everything that was about to happen.
Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip and spoke with some difficulties. ¡°I entered this room tonight and climbed into your bed. Although, nothing really happened, but... our skin still touched a little. You can¡¯t let Bai Qinghao know that I climbed into your bed.¡±
¡°You took the initiative to hug me from behind. You rubbed your chest all over my back, and you even pressed me down to kiss my face.¡± Li Bingpan spoke expressionlessly.
¡°When daylightes, I have to report your actions to my boss.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned flustered. ¡°Handsome Brother Li, you can¡¯t tell this to CEO Bai, no matter what. Everyone knows that he has mysophobia. If you tell him that I identally seduced his subordinate, considering his personality, even if nothing happened between us, he will never touch a woman who has mingled with someone under him. I won¡¯t have any opportunity to approach Bai Qinghao again. That¡¯s the same as forcing me to die!¡±
¡°Miss Fang, please get this clear. You were the one who did those things.¡± Li Bingpan¡¯s expression was serious and he responded without any sympathy.
¡°If I don¡¯t report the truth and my boss suspects me, he will definitely not keep a disloyal subordinate!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t live without Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s face was covered in tears. ¡°Could you willingly force a twenty year old young woman to death?¡±
¡°Although my heart goes out to you, I am unable to help you.¡±
Fang Manxue realised that all the people around Bai Qinghao had hearts of steel. A simple, pitiful act would not be sufficient to move him.
Thus, she approached the vanity and opened the drawer. She retrieved a silver bank card from her wallet and returned to the bedside to hand it to Li Bingpan. ¡°There are fifteen thousand dors in this. Take it.¡±
Chapter 125: Betrayal
Chapter 125: Betrayal
Li Bingpan did not ept the card. Instead, he said mockingly, ¡°Do you think you can bribe me with fifteen thousand dors?¡±
Was he trying to say that it wasn¡¯t enough? Fang Manxue pursed her lips into a smile. ¡°This fifteen thousand dors isn¡¯t meant for you. It¡¯s for your boss.¡±
¡°It¡¯s even more insignificant to him.¡±
Fang Manxue unhurriedly exined to him. ¡°I know. You¡¯re only a small chauffeur, and you¡¯ve just been arranged to Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. Bai Qinghao currently has so many trusted subordinates with him. Even after ten years, you may not have the opportunity to be as valued they are. Bring this card to Bai Qinghao and tell him that I gave it to you. This will be an opportunity for you to perform in front of him.¡±
Li Bingpan appeared interested in her words and shifted all his attention onto her.
¡°You can tell Bai Qinghao that I came into the room. But I left right after retrieving a fresh set of clothes. Nothing happened between the two of us. This way, your boss will value you more. There also won¡¯t be any loss for me.¡± Fang Manxue proposed a suggestion that would allow both of them to benefit.
¡°Why are you helping me?¡± Li Bingpan asked her.
¡°The trusted subordinates by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side are too hard to buy off. They are far too stubborn.¡± Fang Manxue did not attempt to fool him.
¡°My heart belongs to Bai Qinghao. I need a spy next to him. Of course, I won¡¯t make things too hard for you. Instead, I will keep creating opportunities for you to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s most trusted subordinate. I will also give you more benefits...¡±
She leaned close to Li Bingpan¡¯s ear and continued whispering.
A hint of desire appeared in Li Bingpan¡¯s eyes.
Fang Xinxin, who was hidden by the side felt that this was a pity. She could not hear what Fang Manxue had whispered to Li Bingpan.
Nheless, the recording she had so far was more than enough to prevent Li Bingpan from obtaining Bai Qinghao¡¯s trust. Bai Qinghao would also never give Fang Manxue another nce.
Fang Xinxin was about to end the recording, when...
The phone screen suddenly turned dark!
Fuck, her earlier recording wasn¡¯t saved yet. Wasn¡¯t this the same as not recording anything?
This cheap, rotten phone. She had already owned it for four years. It was as slow as a turtle. She had clearly charged it to full battery yet it suddenly turned off.
She was really angered to death!
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was gloomy.
Li Bingpan epted Fang Manxue¡¯s card. Fang Xinxin watched as he spoke respectfully to Fang Manxue. It was clear that he was nning to follow her suggestions.
In their previous life, Fang Manxue often came to her to show off her knowledge of Bai Qinghao¡¯s whereabouts. She would mock her for not knowing anything about Bai Qinghao.
At that time, she had felt infuriated. She thought that since Bai Qinghao had informed Fang Manxue of his whereabouts, it meant he had developed feelings for her.
It turned out that she had been wrong about the whole thing. A traitor had appeared by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
She suspected that Li Bingpan was responsible for spilling all of the information in the previous birth and Fang Manxue had fooled her.
Later on, there was an asion where Bai Qinghao suffered an ambush after his location was leaked. She wondered if that had to do with Li Bingpan¡¯s betrayal as well.
Unfortunately, she had failed to record their conversation and did not obtain any evidence to use Li Bingpan. Furthermore, he had yet to do anything out of line.
Forget it.
Since she knew Li Bingpan was a traitor, it would be easy to settle this by paying attention to his actions in the future.
Fang Manxue left Li Bingpan¡¯s bedroom and Fang Xinxin secretly followed her.
Fang Manxue, who had put a lot of effort into her appearance, refused to give up. She questioned one of the staff about the room where Bai Qinghao had actually slept in.
The maid insisted she did not know.
Thus, Fang Manxue searched every room from the third floor to the second floor. However, he was nowhere to be found.
Chapter 126: Relentlessly Delivering Meat
Chapter 126: Relentlessly Delivering Meat
¡°The Fang home is only so big. Even if Bai Qinghao won¡¯t tell me, there¡¯s no way I won¡¯t be able to find him!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was infuriated.
She said hatefully, ¡°I don¡¯t believe I won¡¯t be able to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed tonight!¡±
She turned around the corner on the second floor and discovered a bodyguard standing guard outside the innermost room.
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes lit up. Bai Qinghao was definitely inside!
She immediately approached and reached her hand out to push open the door.
However, right before she could touch it, the bodyguard stopped her. ¡°Miss Fang, what are you trying to do?¡±
¡°This is the Fang family¡¯s guest room. My bedroom on the third floor has been upied by ¡®CEO Bai¡¯. I¡¯m going to sleep here.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t.¡± The bodyguard shook his head.
¡°I just need to go in to take something.¡± Fang Manxue offered a different reason.
¡°You still can¡¯t.¡±
¡°Ai... you!¡± Fang Manxue cried unhappily.
¡°This is the Fang home. It¡¯s my home. You¡¯re actually stopping me from entering a guest room in my own home?¡±
The bodyguard did not lie to her. ¡°To tell you the truth, our boss is sleeping inside. He cannot be disturbed.¡±
I know that he is here. That¡¯s why I¡¯m trying to get in.
Fang Manxue lowered her voice immediately. ¡°Handsome, please let me in. I¡¯ll step in to take something important... I promise I won¡¯t disturb CEO Bai.¡±
¡°It¡¯s already past 4a.m. in the morning. What could possibly be so urgent?¡± The bodyguard shook his head firmly.
Fang Manxue sped her hands together. ¡°I¡¯m begging you, handsome...¡±
The bodyguard replied coldly. ¡°No way. Nothing is more important than our boss¡¯s sleep. If you refuse to leave and end up disturbing his sleep, neither of us will be able to bear the responsibility.¡±
¡°Alright, alright. I just wanted to take something...¡± Fang Manxue was persistent.
After so many years, it was still always like this.
There were always bodyguards by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side obstructing her approach.
Even in the past, before she lost the right to enter the Yu Ting Vi, she would struggle to approach Bai Qinghao. Even though she had the opportunity to be near him, she could not take any action.
If that hadn¡¯t been the case, she would have already climbed into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed long ago!
¡°Why is it so noisy outside?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid cold voice could be heard from inside.
Fang Manxue rushed to speak up and was one step faster than the bodyguard. ¡°CEO Bai, it¡¯s me, Manxue! I have something...¡± I want to climb into your bed.
¡°Scram!¡± She was rewarded with a cold, ruthless response.
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. She bit her lip with grievance and turned to leave in anger.
The bodyguard watched her and shook his head.
Another woman that wanted to climb into his boss¡¯s bed.
This time, Fang Xinxin did not conceal her figure. She leaned against her own room doorzily and nced at Fang Manxue, who was passing by. ¡°Second sister, it¡¯s already 4 in the morning. You¡¯re still trying toe up with ways to deliver ¡®meat¡¯ to Bai Qinghao, ah.¡±
She had already gone into the wrong room once yet she refused to give up.
Her second sister sure was hardworking.
¡°What do you mean by ¡®deliver meat¡¯?¡± Fang Manxue stopped and narrowed her eyes at her threateningly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m warning you not to spout nonsense. I just coincidentally met CEO Bai outside his room.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Earlier, when you were talking to Bai Qinghao, didn¡¯t you say you had some work with him?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t I go in the room to take something?¡±
¡°At this time, everyone is in the midst of dreaming. What important item are you trying to retrieve from that room?¡± Fang Xinxin scanned her intricate make up. ¡°Look at you. You are dressed up exquisitely. Your make-up is also applied well. It¡¯s just that your lips seem to be missing some colour. Could it be that you went to kiss some other man beforeing here?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. Did she know something?
Chapter 127: A Different Person Delivering
Chapter 127: A Different Person Delivering
No way!
She must have noticed that her lipstick had rubbed off and made a wild guess.
Fang Manxue quickly wiped away the remaining lipstick with a napkin. She said calmly, ¡°Besides Bai Qinghao, how could I possibly kiss another man?¡±
¡°Then, why are there lipstick stains from some other man on your face?¡±
Fang Manxue was startled. She instinctively shifted her hand up to wipe her face, but then recalled that Li Bingpan did not use lipstick. ¡°Fang Xinxin, do you find it fun to try and fool me?¡±
¡°Aiyo, does my second sister have a guilty conscience?¡± Fang Xinxin covered her mouth andughed lightly.
Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly. ¡°Who has a guilty conscience? Anyway, themander knows clearly that I only hold him in my heart. I will only give my body to him! You¡¯re a rotten pair of lips that keeps causing conflicts between the two of us.¡±
¡°If that¡¯s the case, Fang Manxue, your lips are way more rotten than mine!¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin!¡± Fang Manxue raised her voice in anger before stomping away into the guest room next door.
She disliked the guest rooms on the second floor. Although they were well furnished,pared to her room on the third floor, they were extremely poor.
However, her room was already upied by Li Bingpan. She wanted to force him out but he had received Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders to sleep there. Hence, she had no way to chase him away.
In fact, she would prefer to sleep in the room next to Bai Qinghao¡¯s. Unfortunately, they were all upied by his bodyguards.
In that case, she would use the guest room next to Fang Xinxin¡¯s. This way, she could keep a watch on her.
Wait...
Fang Manxue suddenly backed away from the guest room and turned around to stare at Fang Xinxin in disbelief. ¡°Weren¡¯t you locked in your room? How did youe out!¡±
Fang Xinxin would not let her know of her abilities. She spun a set of keys around her finger yfully. ¡°What¡¯s the use of having a maid lock the room from outside? If you want mom to watch me in the room, she will naturally have the keys with her. I took the opportunity while she was asleep to take it from her. I unlocked it from inside.¡±
This set of keys could be used to unlock the doors from both inside and outside the room.
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue did not doubt her words.
¡°You¡¯re determined topete with me! Do you think you have the ability?¡±
¡°Stupid.¡± Fang Xinxin turned to walk down the hallway.
Fang Manxue red at her backview and shouted. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you ugly and fat woman!¡±
Fang Xinxin turned a deaf ear to her words. Soon, she would recover her outstanding beauty. After that, she would watch Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes fall out of their sockets!
Fang Manxue watched as the fat woman turned around the corner and headed down the hallway. Wasn¡¯t that where Bai Qinghao¡¯s room was located? She rushed to run in front of Fang Xinxin and stopped her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it¡¯s already 4 in the morning. You¡¯re still trying to disturb Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°What does that have to do with you?¡± Fang Xinxin was toozy to even look at her.
Fang Manxue was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. ¡°You¡¯re really going to look for Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you do that earlier as well?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Are you the only one allowed to act as you please?¡±
She had been suppressed by Fang Manxue for too long in this family. It was time for her to reverse their positions.
Fang Manxue seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly made way for Fang Xinxin. ¡°Go on, then. Anyway, the bodyguard will definitely stop you. Bai Qinghao will also reward you with a ¡®scram¡¯! Don¡¯t me your second sister for not warning you. Earlier, when I woke him up, he already sounded very unhappy. If you go look for him now, he might shoot you to death in a fit of anger!¡±
She originally thought this would frighten Fang Xinxin. To her surprise, Fang Xinxin only sneered and continued walking towards Bai Qinghao¡¯s room.
Chapter 128: A Different Person Delivering (Part 2)
Chapter 128: A Different Person Delivering (Part 2)
Fang Manxue stood on the side to watch Fang Xinxin receive the same treatment.
To her shock, she watched as the bodyguard opened the room door and gestured politely for Fang Xinxin to enter.
Fang Manxue ran over in her high heels in disbelief. She watched the bodyguard close the door right after.
She pointed at him in rage. ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this? You didn¡¯t even ask Fang Xinxin any questions before letting her in, yet you insisted on stopping me!¡±
¡°My apologies, Miss Fang.¡± The bodyguard appeared to be in serious work mode. ¡°As per boss¡¯smand if Miss Fang Xinxin wishes to see him, no matter howte it is, there is no need to stop her. As for the other unimportant people, they are all to be kept out.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Manxue¡¯splexion nearly turned green from her anger.
How could Bai Qinghao spoil that ugly, fat woman to this extent?
¡°I¡¯m Fang Xinxin¡¯s second sister!¡±
She said, ¡°I¡¯m your boss¡¯s...¡±
But stopped at this point because she refused to say the word sister-inw even if someone beat her to death.
This was because she would only be Madam Bai!
¡°An unimportant person.¡± The bodyguard filled in the nk for her.
¡°Hmph!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s teeth were almost crushed from the way she was grinding them. However, she was helpless.
Fang Xinxin had gone to disturb Bai Qinghao so early in the morning. There was no way he wouldn¡¯t get mad at her.
She kept her eyes on the tightly shut room door. She was going to happily wait and watch as Fang Xinxin was tossed out!
After several minutes, she had nearly dug a hole into the door with her eyes. However, Fang Xinxin had yet to be chased out.
She felt her liver hurting with resentment!
Inside the room, Fang Xinxin actually did not disturb Bai Qinghao¡¯s sleep intentionally.
It was just... there was only one bed in the guest room which the Fang family had arranged for her and her mother. Fang Ln was already sleeping on that bed.There wasn¡¯t even a sofa that she could use.
She did not wish to share a bed with Fang Ln. That would make her feel ufortable.
The storeroom she previously used was probably filled with real junk right now.
There wasn¡¯t any other room prepared for her.
Thus, after deliberating over it, she felt she could only sleep in Bai Qinghao¡¯s room.
The bedroom Bai Qinghao was upying was very simple. However, the carpet had been changed to a new one, and the bedsheets were also reced with luxurious ones with gold stitching on them. There was also a one meter long, brand new sofa in the room.
All of the Fang home¡¯s guest rooms were identical. Bai Qinghao must have ordered someone to bring in the new carpet, sheets and sofa.
If the Fang family maids had done it, there was no way Fang Manxue wouldn¡¯t have known his whereabouts.
And if that had been the case, she wouldn¡¯t have entered the wrong room on the third floor to climb into Li Bingpan¡¯s bed.
Bai Qinghao appeared slightly drowsy as he leaned against the bed frame. He watched Fang Xinxin expressionlessly with his handsome features, ¡°It¡¯s sote... or maybe it¡¯s more urate to say, early. Do you need something from me?¡±
¡°No, no.¡± Fang Xinxin rushed to shake her head. ¡°My mom is sleeping in the guest room that the Fang family arranged for me. I¡¯m hoping to rest here for a while. When my mom wakes up, I¡¯ll go back to sleep there.¡±
Bai Qinghao heard this and understood that she did not wish to sleep with Fang Ln.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± Fang Xinxin quickly sat down on the sofa and shrunk back into it. ¡°I¡¯ll just close my eyes here for a while.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned cold.
The entire room seemed to be frigid cold because of his expression.
¡°You don¡¯t want me to sleep here? Then I won¡¯t disturb you...¡± Fang Xinxin was about to stand up.
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Bai Qinghaomanded coldly.
She stiffened and did not dare to even breathe.
Bai Qinghao tugged the sheets aside and stood up from the bed. His tall and broad figure approached the sofa, and he extended his strong arms to bring her up into a princess carry.
Chapter 129: A Different Person Delivering (3)
Chapter 129: A Different Person Delivering (3)
¡°Bai Qinghao...¡± she cried in surprise and instinctively reached out to embrace his neck.
He ced her down on the bed and moved to help her remove her shoes.
It seemed as though removing her shoes and socks for her was but a natural matter for him.
He was the powerful and respected Bai Qinghao. In this city, his presence was akin to that of an emperor.
Furthermore, he had a severe case of mysophobia.
To think that he would dote on her to this extent.
She hadn¡¯t done anything simr for him ever.
Exactly how deep were his feelings for her?
In her previous life, she already knew that he was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect her. Emotions welled up in Fang Xinxin¡¯s chest nearly suffocating her.
Bai Qinghao noticed her misty gaze. Concern appeared in his cold, stern gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head.
Uu... she was simply too moved. She was moved to the point of wanting to cry.
She watched the unconcealed worry in his eyes and pursed her lips. ¡°Bai Qinghao, could you try not to be so good to me?¡±
He lifted his hand and tucked a few strands of stray hair behind her ear. ¡°Silly. You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e, my woman! If I don¡¯t treat you well, who should I be good to?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll spoil me rotten...¡± She nearly whimpered, but refused to let the tearse out in front of him.
That would be too embarrassing.
She was a strong woman who valued her face!
¡°All the better.¡± He responded with a shrug.
¡°In any case, I¡¯m the only person allowed to spoil you.¡±
If anyone dared topete with him, he would murder them!
¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re amazing.¡± She leaned into his broad chest.
His embrace was warm. His embrace was akin to that of a strong fort. The protection he gave her was one that no one could ovee.
He was the only person in this world who could provide her with a sense of security.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure stiffened.
This was her second time saying so.
He clearly remembered all the words she had previously said to him.
Precisely because of that, her earlier hatred and disdain were deeply engraved into his heart.
Her current attitude left him feeling surprised and moved. Yet, he also felt... insecure.
He genuinely feared the day she would return to the way she was before.
If he had never tasted her sweetness and only known her anger and hatred, perhaps, he would have been able to live in a constant state of rage as though it was normal.
However, he had tasted the nectar of her warmth and her seemingly genuine liking for him.
He was certain that, if she regained her previous hatred, he would have no way of epting it.
¡°Fang Xinxin...¡± he whispered and lifted hisrge palm to gently caress her hair. Her long, silky hair slipped through his fingertips.
¡°En?¡±
¡°You better keep this up for the rest of your life.¡±
She was confused. ¡°Keep what up?¡±
He simply and clearly stated his thoughts. ¡°The attitude and actions you¡¯ve disyed ever since you became my woman.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She nodded.
It turned out he was fearful that she would grow to hate him again, and would go back to her liking for Bai Chenxi.
That was impossible.
His sharp gaze became threatening. ¡°If...¡±
She raised her brows and waited for him to continue.
¡°If you dare to return to the way you were before...¡± His sharp, frigid gaze was filled with murderous intent.
¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
The man¡¯s tone was menacing and frigid to the extreme. Ayer of frost seemed to form on the surface of the room because of his words.
If anyone else had heard him, they would surely have peed in their pants by now.
¡°As expected, ¡®when youy with an emperor, youy with a tiger.¡¯ You were so gentle a moment ago. To think that you wish to kill me now. Tsk Tsk.¡± Fang Xinxin remained unaffected nd simplyughed.
Chapter 130: The Origins Of The Marriage
Chapter 130: The Origins Of The Marriage
She lifted her hand and pinched his elbow harshly. ¡°Go ahead and kill me then. You dare to threaten your great...¡± Upon meeting his gaze filled with murderous intent, she swallowed the word ¡®grandmother¡¯ back.
One needed to have a lot of courage to pluck a tiger¡¯s hair.
She dared to bet all her savings on the fact that if she really addressed herself as his great-grandmother, her butt would split open from his beating.
She hastily changed her way of speaking. ¡°You dare to threaten the wife whom your elders chose for you. Aren¡¯t you afraid yourte grandmother will jump out of her grave to beat you up?¡±
Speaking of her engagement with Bai Qinghao...
Bai Qinghao came from three generations of wealth. He was an outstanding businessman and had sufficient power and money to shake the world.
Prior to the Fang family¡¯s engagement with the Bai family, the Fang family only owned a normal corporation. It was due to the countless projects they had received from Bai Qinghao¡¯s hands over the years that enabled them to transform into a wealthy family. The distance that existed between them and the Bai family was akin to that between heaven and earth.
If family backgrounds had been the primary basis for consideration, the Bai family would never have proposed a marriage alliance with the Fang family.
It only happened because her father, Long Yifan, had saved Bai Qinghao¡¯ste grandmother, Qin Hefang¡¯s life. When she was still alive, she had felt that Fang Xinxin had some affinity with her. Due to this, and out of gratitude for Long Yifan, she had fixed Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao¡¯s marriage.
After Qin Hefang passed away, the Bai family upheld their word. Although almost everyone knew of her feelings for Bai Chenxi, her marriage contract with Bai Qinghao became a promise that could not be shaken.
asionally, she would wonder about it.
During their past life, Bai Qinghao had been insistent on marrying her despite everything. Was this because he had feelings for her, or because he valued his grandmother¡¯s will?
She did not dare to voice out this question. She was fearful that she would be disappointed by his answer.
Before Bai Qinghao took the initiative to dere his feelings for her, she would stay silent on this matter.
¡°My grandmother would never hurt me.¡± Bai Qinghao seemed to recall thete Grandmother Bai. A hint of longing appeared in his gaze.
¡°In her eyes, the actions that I took were always right.¡±
¡°Do you miss her?¡± She asked in concern.
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about her.¡± He disliked being controlled by his emotions. He said expressionlessly, ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t change the topic. I meant it when I said I would kill you!¡±
Then, I¡¯ll join you in hell myself!
She shrugged casually. ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say this? If you wish to kill me, go ahead and do so. This youngdy will not be affected by any threats.¡±
A hint of frost appeared in his heavy, stern gaze. She could not help but tremble under his eyes. ¡°You mean to say that you¡¯ll still return to the way you were before?¡±
¡°What do you think?!?¡± She became angry as well. Did he trust her so little?
But then she recalled how untrustworthy her previous actions were.
She could only add on softly. ¡°Bai Qinghao, as long as you don¡¯t change, I¡¯ll never change.¡±
Earlier, his murderous intent had not been fabricated.
If she dared to say she nned to return to the way she was before, killing her right now would be easier than facing the rage that was sure toe.
After hearing her response, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. His feelings for her would never change.
Did she mean to say that she was the same?
His mood immediately lifted. Still, he intentionally maintained a stern expression to emphasise. ¡°Remember what you¡¯ve just said!¡±
He lowered his hand and wrapped his arms around her, bringing her into his embrace with a sigh.
This was his first time realising that she would not bend under his threats. Was he doomed to bow to her will?
Did she truly not fear death?
It seemed like his little woman had a bit of a temper.
She lifted her little face and took in his outrageously handsome features. It was better not to continue going against him. ¡°I¡¯ve remembered it, I¡¯ve remembered it. Can you calm down?¡±
Chapter 131: A Cold Shower
Chapter 131: A Cold Shower
¡°Insincere.¡± His cold gaze remained unmoved.
¡°How should I express my sincerity then?¡± She lifted her brows to ask.
His gaze was burning hot and his intentions were clear. ¡°What do you think?¡±
His husky voice carried desire and immense thirst.
With her intelligence, there was no way she would not understand him.
She lowered her head bashfully and thought to herself that if he desired it... then...
She was willing to offer it all to him.
Bai Qinghao watched her bashful expression. His lips curved in response.
This little woman! He wondered how she could be so charming. To think she would control his body and heart to this extent.
Till date, nearly everyone who could influence him had been killed!
She was the only exception. For someone who absolutely despised being under someone¡¯s influence, he could be seen looking forward to it.
He reminded himself that it had taken so many years to improve their rtionship. He had endured too much hardship for her to finally reveal her soft side to him.
He could not frighten her. He absolutely could not.
Fang Xinxin was incredibly agitated and began to tremble.
Bai Qinghao noticed this and a hint of self-reprimand appeared in his gaze.
This was all his fault.
He ced her outerwear on the bedside table and held her toy down on therge bed. He then wrapped her up in his embrace and adjusted the nket over them.
Fang Xinxin leaned into his arms and waited for several minutes. To her surprise, he did not move again.
Could it be that he did not share the same thoughts as her?
Her gaze was filled with disappointment.
Since he would not take initiative, it was fine if she took charge, wasn¡¯t it?
She shifted her hand up to touch his body when she felt his even breathing against her forehead.
She lifted her head and watched his expression. He was peacefully asleep and there were clear signs of exhaustion under his eyes.
It seemed like it had been days since he slept well.
She could not find it in her to wake him up.
They still had many years ahead. It wasn¡¯t as though he could escape from her.
It was early in the morning and she was simrly tired.
She yawned and quickly fell asleep.
Almost immediately, Bai Qinghao opened his eyes.
For the past few days, he had taken countless cold showers, icy cold ones.
He wanted to leave for another cold shower but could not bear to separate from the woman in his arms.
He kept his eyes open and exhausted nearly all of his willpower before he finally restrained himself.
He usually slept very little, and it had been days since he had a proper rest. His body was extremely tired.
But with her in his arms, he feltpletely at ease.
He rxed, and soon after, he fell asleep by her side.
...
Chapter 132: The Matters That Cannot Be Disturbed
Chapter 132: The Matters That Cannot Be Disturbed
Outside the room, Fang Manxue was still waiting for Bai Qinghao to chase Fang Xinxin out.
She sharpened her ears and focused all her attention on listening in to their conversation.
Earlier, she had vaguely caught Bai Qinghao saying he would kill Fang Xinxin. His words had left her in a state of excitement, and she waited in anticipation for the gunshot noise.
It would be best if Fang Xinxin was directly shot to death.
She would then pretend to have deep feelings for her sister and help him settle Fang Xinxin¡¯s corpse.
To her surprise, she did not hear any other noise post that.
Fang Manxue was worried. Could it be that Fang Xinxin had snuck under the sheets to seduce Bai Qinghao into doing that?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She absolutely could not allow Fang Xinxin another opportunity to do it with Bai Qinghao!
She needed to break this door down now!
Fang Manxue took two steps back and prepared to charge ahead. She readied herself for the impact against the door. To her surprise, before she even came into contact with it, she received a firm blow against the back of her neck. The bodyguard had knocked her out.
¡°My apologies, Miss Fang.¡± The bodyguard caught her body and spoke softly. ¡°I¡¯ll lose my head if you disturb my boss again.¡±
To be Bai Qinghao¡¯s personal bodyguards, all of them needed to be well-trained inbat. They also had to be intelligent and to prioritise their boss¡¯s wellbeing.
Fang Xinxin had entered the room quite some time ago and was not thrown out.
A man and a woman were alone in the room. Who knew, Fang Xinxin could be rolling about in the bed with his boss right now.
He would be asking for death if he allowed anyone to disturb them.
He waved at one of the Fang family¡¯s maids and passed Fang Manxue to her. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Take her away.¡±
The maid held Fang Manxue up. ¡°This...¡±
¡°Softer.¡± The bodyguard gestured for her to hush. ¡°Boss is resting.¡±
The maid nodded in understanding, and asked him in concern. ¡°Did you knock our seconddy out? Should I call for a doctor?¡± If it had been the thirddy that had been knocked out, she would not have cared in the slightest.
This was because in the Fang family, Fang Xinxin¡¯s position was even lower than that of a maid¡¯s. But the seconddy was different. She was the apple of Director Fang¡¯s and General Manager Long¡¯s eyes.
The bodyguard responded coolly. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I controlled my strength. She will be fine when she wakes up.¡±
After all, she was his boss¡¯s future sister-inw. They would soon be rtives. He did not wish to offend her unless it was absolutely necessary.
The maid rxed and took Fang Manxue to a room to rest.
...
The afternoon sunlight was bright. It pierced through the gaps of the curtain and added a warmth to the air.
Fang Xinxin, who had slept her fill, opened her eyes. She extended her hand and immediately came into contact with a warm and firm chest.
This man¡¯s body, his firm muscles... too hot! His figure was even better than that of those European models. She could breath in his scent at this close proximity.
It was something Fang Xinxin had grown familiar with in her past life.
Even without looking, she recognised that she was in Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms.
Bai Qinghao was not dressed in sleepwear and only wore a simple singlet. This further emphasised his firm arms and core muscles.
She could feel his strength just by touching his steel-like arms. The owner of this body definitely had stamina!
Bai Qinghao caught her mischievous little hand. His voice was rough and husky. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±
Only god knew how much he had endured to stop himself from touching her. He had nearly gone insane from it. Yet, this little woman was still adding oil into the fire, blissfully unaware of how she was seeking death.
Fang Xinxin stiffened. She lifted her chin and met his ink-ck pupils. ¡°Hehe... when did you wake up?¡±
¡°Around the same time as you.¡±
It was rare for Bai Qinghao to sleep well. It was clear that he was in a good mood. His gaze was meaningful when it caught her eyes. ¡°You were seducing me earlier, en?¡±
Chapter 133: Bai Qinghao Requested For The Marriage
Chapter 133: Bai Qinghao Requested For The Marriage
¡°What do you think?¡± She blinked and fluttered her eyshes flirtatiously at him. Her eyes sparkled and seemed to carry their own light. They were as charming as the stars in the night sky, and made for a dazzling sight.
Her eyes were beautiful!
Bai Qinghao was dumbstruck.
He remembered that her eyes had been just as charming when they were young. At the time, he had always been drawn in by that light.
Although her father, Long Yifan, had saved his grandmother, their family backgrounds were ipatible. The Bai and Fang family were worlds apart.
Even though his grandmother owed Long Yifan a debt for her life, she would not use his marriage matters to repay him.
After all, with the Bai family¡¯s influence and power, they had countless options when it came to repaying Long Yifan. There had been absolutely no need to offer a marriage alliance.
He recalled the first time he met Fang Xinxin. At the time, she had been as beautiful as a porcin doll. He had mistaken her for a moonlight fairy and thought her to be a spirit whom humans only saw on rare asions.
At the time, he was still a child. After returning home, he had decisively told his grandmother... he wanted Fang Xinxin.
He wanted to reserve this little girl for himself, to grow up with her, and to make sure she would only belong to him for the rest of her life.
He was the Bai family¡¯s only son. He had never requested anything from his family. This was his first and only request.
His grandmother loved and doted on him. She immediately agreed to his request. As a result, Fang Xinxin became his fiancee when they were both children.
He wasn¡¯t sure when it began, but at some point, the light in her eyes faded. Perhaps it was because she gained weight. Perhaps her face had turned swollen, and it prevented her eyes from sparkling.
Or perhaps, it was because she loved Bai Chenxi, and he had forcibly held her back as his fianc¨¦e. She grew to be timid and fearful of him, and her eyes became lifeless.
It had been years since hest saw her eyes sparkling in this manner.
Finally, the moonlight fairy in his heart had returned!
Her eyes were shining because of him. They were radiant and charming.
Bai Qinghao took in her gaze and became emotional.
Fang Xinxin lifted her hand and waved it before his eyes. ¡°What¡¯s on your mind?¡±
He caught her little hand and pressed a kiss against it dotingly. ¡°I¡¯m thinking about you.¡±
Her cheeks turned rosy. ¡°If you say that, I¡¯ll feel embarrassed...¡±
¡°Now, I can tell when your cheeks turn red.¡± His lips curved into a rare smile.
Even though his cold and frigid aura remained, Fang Xinxin was nearly dazed by the sight. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re really really attractive when you smile.¡± She then recalled his words.
¡°Wait a minute! What do you mean by that? Are youining that my skin is too dark?¡±
His tone turned heavy. ¡°For the sake of avoiding me, you intentionally tanned yourself into looking like a ck mudfish. You thought you were being clever, but it was your skin that suffered the damage. Wasn¡¯t it painful?¡±
¡°I...¡± She gloomily responded, ¡°Who said I was being clever?¡±
¡°Your skin was so fair when you were young. No matter how much you¡¯ve darkened it, I know that your skin was originally bright and beautiful.¡±
¡°...¡± She punched his chest with some anger. It was as firm as steel and instead of hurting him, her fists started to ache. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier? If you did, I wouldn¡¯t have burnt myself like an idiot.¡±
¡°Did you give me the opportunity to speak?¡±
She fell silent.
All right. In the past, whenever she saw him, she would either run, hide, or raise her voice. She waspletely unreceptive to his words.
She had really been idiotic to the point where it left her speechless.
He held her small hand in his firm,rge palm. When he saw that her little hand had reddened, he said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t punch my chest anymore. You can¡¯t hurt me with your puny strength. You¡¯re hurting yourself instead.¡±
Chapter 134: The Misunderstanding In The Yu Ting Villa’s Bedroom
Chapter 134: The Misunderstanding In The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s Bedroom
This man... she had punched him yet his heart was aching for her.
How was she supposed to not treasure him?
She spoke up with some difficulty, ¡°Bai Qinghao... in the past, I was in the wrong for the way I treated you.¡±
He had built a tall, thick wall around his heart but because of her words, the wall abruptly and instantly copsed. His heart ached and the deepest corner of his heart was moved.
He turned over and pressed her beneath him. He watched her with his deep, boundless eyes. His tone was heavy and emotional, and it carried all the love he held for her. ¡°You don¡¯t ever have to apologise to me! All you have to do is to stay by my side. Don¡¯t betray me, don¡¯t get hurt, don¡¯t leave and don¡¯t ever run away from me!¡±
Stay here obediently, so that I can dote on you and love you forever.
Bai Qinghao was poor at expressing his feelings. He did not finish his words.
Fang Xinxin felt as though a typhoon had tore through her heart and she was deeply moved. This moment would surely be engraved into her soul. ¡°Bai Qinghao...¡±
¡°Shhh...¡± He pressed his thumb against her lips as though fearful of her rejection. He then kissed her, intertwining their tongues to deepen their intimate kiss.
His lips were demanding and firm.
Perhaps due to hisck of experience, he moved without thought and only knew to take her forcefully.
However, she could sense that he had intentionally reduced his strength. He was cherishing her dearly in his own way.
She lifted her arms and embraced his neck. She then reached one her hands up to touch his hair.
Her initiation surprised and moved him.
He exhausted much of his willpower and after kissing her for ten full minutes, he finally managed to restrain the urge to continue kissing her. He demanded, ¡°In the future, you¡¯re not allowed to pretend to be asleep to avoid me!¡±
She blinked her sparkling eyes in confusion. ¡°En?¡±
¡°Previously at the Yu Ting Vi, when I carried you back to the room, you pretended to be asleep to avoid me.¡± His expression was stern as he reminded her.
She recalled the incident. ¡°You mean that night? When I did pretend to be asleep?¡±
¡°When didn¡¯t you?¡± His expression was dark. ¡°You were clearly awake at the time.¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t that the first time you kissed me? You carried me back to my room with all of your maids watching and I was so embarrassed at the time. Afterward, when we returned to your room, I was shy so I closed my eyes to wait for you... how could I have known why you suddenly became strange? You suddenly left with a cold expression. I then fell asleep because I was drowsy.¡± After saying this, she suddenly understood.
¡°No wonder you became so weird after. You thought I was avoiding you... Hahaha, Bai Qinghao, where did yourprehension skills go?¡±
Were they eaten by a dog?
She did not dare to say these words.
If she went too far and angered him, she would have to suffer the consequences.
Bai Qinghao was dumbstruck. It turns out she had closed her eyes to wait for him. He had thought she did not wish to see him and had left in a fit of anger.
He actually misunderstood her!
He suddenly felt that the business world was filled with schemes and he had always navigated it with ease.
Yet, when it came to feelings, he was far too inexperienced and had failed to understand her intentions.
It was no wonder sheughed at him.
He narrowed his eyes threateningly at her bright smile. ¡°Everyone who has dared to mock me has gone to visit the King of Hell. You say, how should I punish you?¡±
Although his words were threatening, she sensed that he was not angry in the slightest. ¡°Mm...¡± She bit her lip. ¡°You can fine me a dor?¡±
¡°You wish.¡± He bit her small and sharp nose lightly.
¡°Earlier, you said you had been waiting for me... What were you waiting for me to do? Were you waiting for me to climb into the bed with you?¡± The man¡¯s seductive voice teased her mercilessly.
Chapter 135: Not Patient For Too Long
Chapter 135: Not Patient For Too Long
She nearly melted from his words. Her cheeks were flushed as she pouted softly. ¡°As if.¡± She was too embarrassed to admit that she actually had been waiting for him to climb in bed with her.
But she was still a young and innocent girl. She needed to maintain her reserved image.
As he watched his blushing little fianc¨¦e, his cold eyes were smiling.
Only god knew how happy he was to learn that she was willing to be with him.
As long she was not avoiding him, he was willing to wait. However, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stay patient for too long.
He sat by the side of the bed and reached for her outerwear. He supported her to sit up and helped her to put it on. ¡°Dress properly and go wash up. Let¡¯s go and have lunch. You haven¡¯t even had breakfast. You must be starving.¡±
She felt a little regretful. Why didn¡¯t he ¡®touch¡¯ her before getting up?
She realised he also did not eat anything till now. Her heart began to ache for him again. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same? I thought you were used to adhering strictly to your routine.¡±
In her memories, regardless of the day, he would always wake early to train for one to two hours before having breakfast.
Today, he actually slept by her side till it was afternoon.
Bai Qinghao would never admit that he had dyed waking up because he could not bear to leave her warmth. ¡°It won¡¯t hurt me to miss a day of breakfast.¡±
Fang Xinxin lowered her head and watched as he buttoned up her outerwear for her. Her heart was filled with warmth.
This man was really doting on her as though she was a child. ¡°I can do this on my own...¡±
He responded with his cold, heavy voice. ¡°I like doing this.¡±
After buttoning up her clothes, he lifted his hand and pinched her soft cheek.
She felt as though her heart was filled with warm bubbles. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to always treat me this well.¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± He did not answer her question directly.
To him, the answer to her statement could not be more obvious. Did she even have to ask?
¡°Ai...¡± She wanted to say more but he had already stood up. He turned and headed into the bathroom.
Momentster, she heard the sound of running water.
Under the shower head, Bai Qinghao stood with a bitter smile.
When he came out some timeter, he was already neatly dressed in a suit.
He held a towel in his hand, rubbing it against his damp, short hair. Although his actions were casual, his noble and seductive charisma could not be concealed.
Fang Xinxin felt that this man truly made for an impable sight without even having to try.
Bai Qinghao returned her dumbstruck gaze. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to go eat? You silly girl, have you been waiting here for me all this while?¡±
Chapter 136: Drying The Hair Or Eat First?
Chapter 136: Drying The Hair Or Eat First?
She nodded. ¡°En.¡±
¡°You idiot.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with heartache. He turned towards the door and ordered. ¡°Come in!¡±
The door opened and several people stood outside.
Liu Li, Li Bingpan, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were all there.
It was clear that Liu Li had taken over from the previous bodyguard who had been guarding outside the door earlier.
¡°CEO Bai, you¡¯ve finally woken up.¡± Fang Ln snatched the opportunity to speak up first. ¡°We¡¯ve been waiting for you for the whole morning. It¡¯s already 1:00 pm. I still haven¡¯t eaten. I¡¯m starving.¡±
¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Fang Manxue smiled brightly. There were no signs of her being upset fromst night. ¡°My second uncle and I have both been enduring our hunger pangs along with her.¡±
In fact, all three of them had secretly eaten a little. They weren¡¯t dumb enough to really starve.
Fang Manxue slept for several hours before waking up in the guest room. A maid had informed her that themander¡¯s bodyguard had knocked her out.
When she found out Fang Xinxin was still in Bai Qinghao¡¯s room, she had nearly died from anger!
Even after smashing all the furniture in the room, her anger did not subside.
However, for the sake of her future and for Bai Qinghao, she could only work hard to pretend as though nothing had happened. She forced a smile on her unwilling lips.
Bai Qinghao was straightforwardly unsympathetic. ¡°No one told all of you to wait.¡±
Long Shuhai responded fawningly. ¡°It is our Fang family¡¯s honour to wait to have a meal with Commander. We did it willingly.¡±
While they spoke, Fang Ln, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue were all secretly sizing up Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao. The two of them had spent nine hours together in this room. Did anything happen between them?
But both of them were properly dressed and did not give anything away.
Bai Qinghao scanned the three of them with stern eyes before sneering. ¡°Did I say I was going to dine with you? Youck the ability to do so.¡±
Liu Li spoke up respectfully. ¡°Boss, lunch has already been prepared and set-up for you and Miss Fang on the first floor.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s meals were always prepared by the chefs of Yu Ting Vi.
Although he was temporarily residing in the Fang family, they had reserved the kitchen of a nearby hotel and arranged for the chefs toe by and prepare the food there. This way, when the food was delivered here, it would still be fresh and warm.
Fang Ln naturally knew that Bai Qinghao would arrange for his own meal. However, as the host of the family, she still had instructed her chefs to prepare his meal. Otherwise, she would be disrespecting him.
¡°We¡¯re going down to eat.¡± Bai Qinghao carelessly tossed the towel onto a chair and held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand to leave the room.
Liu Li and Li Bingpan immediately nudged Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai aside, clearing a path for their boss to walk through.
Fang Xinxin was tugged along by him. She spoke up in concern. ¡°Bai Qinghao, your hair is still wet. You¡¯ll get a headache if you don¡¯t dry it properly.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± He was not the one to worry about such small matters.
¡°We should dry your hair first...¡± She tried to negotiate.
¡°We¡¯re going to eat first!¡± His tone was firm. She had starved for too long. His normally frozen heart was hurting for her.
Fang Manxue red at the two of them who were deeply concerned for each other. Her eyes reddened in jealousy.
She really wanted to strangle Fang Xinxin to death. Bai Qinghao¡¯s concern belonged to her!
Both Fang Ln and Long Shuhai¡¯s expressions were extremely poor as well.
The more concern Bai Qinghao showed for Fang Xinxin, the less number of opportunities would exist for Fang Manxue to get in.
The dining table on the first floor of the Fang home was currently covered with eighteen tters of delicacies. Every single dish was fragrant and vourful.
Chapter 137: Sharing A Meal
Chapter 137: Sharing A Meal
There was no way the Fang family¡¯s chefs could have prepared these delectable dishes. Their appearances alone were sufficient to greatly stimte everyone¡¯s appetite.
Bai Qinghao pulled a chair out for Fang Xinxin.
His considerate action caused Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes to burn in jealousy.
Immediately, she adjusted her expression and concealed the envy. She then curved her lips into a fawning smile. ¡°CEO Bai, there are so many dishes here. You won¡¯t be able to finish these even if there were more people. May I join you?¡±
¡°What makes you think that you are worthy?¡± A hint of unhappiness appeared in Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp eyes.
Fang Manxue¡¯s smile stiffened.
Fang Ln saw that her daughter was refused and cajoled him sweetly. ¡°CEO Bai, please don¡¯t be upset with Manxue. She¡¯s still young and immature.¡±
Deep in her heart, she knew that Bai Qinghao would not be moved by the Fang family under the current circumstances.
Thus, Fang Ln shifted her stern gaze onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin ah, your second uncle, your second sister and I are all starving. Why haven¡¯t you asked us to join you yet?¡±
Fang Xinxin was transported back to the times when the Fang family used to leave her out whenever there was good food to eat. They only offered her the leftovers. She had never enjoyed even a bite of their luxurious, delectable dishes.
They had imed it was to help her lose weight.
¡°The Fang family chefs have already prepared your food, haven¡¯t they?¡± Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°You can set up another table.¡±
¡°How could our Fang home¡¯s chefspete with the chefs from the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
More importantly, it was a great honor to have a meal with Bai Qinghao. If news about this spread, countless people would rush to fawn on them in the near future. Fang Ln had a loving smile on her face. ¡°Xinxin ah, you¡¯ve always been a filial child. Quickly request CEO Bai on our behalf.¡±
Long Shuhai also said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s rare for us to have a meal as a family.¡±
¡°Indeed. It¡¯s been a long time since we ate as a family.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered mockingly.
Just as the Fang family assumed she would speak on their behalf to Bai Qinghao, Fang Xinxin changed the topic. ¡°All this while, I¡¯ve always been eating leftovers in the storeroom, while the rest of you enjoyed delicacies in the dining room. You never once offered any good food to me. Now that I have these delicacies to enjoy, why do I have to share them with you?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened.
Fang Ln noticed that Bai Qinghao¡¯s face was bing stormy and she rushed to respond quickly. ¡°Xinxin ah, you child, what are you talking about? Haven¡¯t we always been eating the same food? Even if we stopped you from eating some things, it was because you¡¯re overweight. Mom was worried you would fall sick. I was only trying to help you lose weight.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Manxue chimed in.
¡°CEO Bai, don¡¯t listen to her. My third sister is so fat. She is clearly eating ten times better than me. Otherwise, how could she have developed such a figure?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s current weight did not happen only because she had eaten arge amount of oily and unhealthy food under Fang Manxue¡¯s insinuations. It was mostly because she had consumed food that contained drugs that would stimte weight gain.
But right now, she did not have any evidence of Fang Manxue¡¯s actions.
Sooner orter, Fang Manxue would strike again. When that happened, she would be ready to catch her in the act!
Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m helpless just because I don¡¯t have any evidence right now.
Long Shuhai chimed in sincerely. ¡°CEO Bai, Xinxin¡¯s personality is a little rebellious right now. Don¡¯t listen to her lies. She is Ln¡¯s blood-rted daughter. How could the Fang family abuse her?¡±
Bai Qinghao did not believe the versions provided by Fang Ln, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue. He asked them with a dark expression. ¡°Where is the storeroom that Fang Xinxin lived in?¡±
He wanted to see it for himself, the sort of ce where Fang Xinxin was previously made to live in!
Chapter 138: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (1)
Chapter 138: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (1)
¡°It¡¯s...¡± Long Shuhai was about to respond.
But Fang Ln red at him. Her eyes were clearly implying that if he responded affirmatively, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had lived in a storeroom earlier. Hadn¡¯t they given Bai Qinghao enough reasons to hate them already?
Long Shuhai tactfully fell silent.
¡°Rather than a storeroom, it¡¯s simply one of the rooms on the first floor. The ce is quite nice and well-maintained. Since themander wishes to see it, please follow me...¡± Fang Ln indicated with her hand and turned to walk down the hallway next to the staircase.
She paused at the end of the hallway and turned around the corner to approach one of the rooms located several meters inwards.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin followed behind.
The moment Fang Xinxin saw the door, she knew something was amiss.
The brand new, well-made door was an indicator of whaty inside. She had no doubt the interior would be starkly different from what she remembered it to be.
Fang Ln pointed at the door. ¡°CEO Bai, look. This door was bought from a reputable brand. I spent more than a thousand dors on it. Compare it with the other rooms over there. Those aren¡¯t as expensive. This is all because we prioritised Xinxin¡¯s privacy. She¡¯s my daughter after all. Everything has to be of the best quality.¡±
¡°Whose rooms are those?¡± Bai Qinghao asked with a heavy tone.
¡°It¡¯s...¡± Fang Ln had no way of concealing it. ¡°They belong to the maids.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s face was extremely dark. His eyes seemed to burn with murderous intent. ¡°You made my fianc¨¦e sleep in the maid¡¯s quarters?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Ln could note up with a good excuse.
In that instant, Fang Manxue rushed to speak up, instead. ¡°CEO Bai, you¡¯ve misunderstood my mother. My mother has always doted on my third sister more than me. This is all because my third sister is extremely overweight, and was toozy to climb the stairs. The Fang family is unlike the Yu Ting Vi where elevators have been installed. My third sister was the one who requested to stay here.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Is that so?¡±
¡°Of course you¡¯ll deny it now.¡± Fang Manxue replied with reddened eyes. ¡°Third sister, I know that your academic results are poor, and that you¡¯re jealous of me for being a top student. Mom only criticised your grades a little, and because of that, you¡¯re having a cold war with her.¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one who wants to see the room that Fang Xinxin used for seven years. This is unrted to Fang Xinxin!¡± Bai Qinghao was upset with the way Fang Manxue always shifted the topic onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s ws.
¡°I¡¯m jealous of your good grades?¡± Fang Xinxin looked at Fang Manxue as though she was retarded. ¡°Don¡¯t make up lies about me. It¡¯ll be examination time soon. We¡¯ll see exactly who performs better at that time!¡±
Liu Li had heard of Fang Xinxin¡¯s gamble with Fang Manxue.
Water had really entered this fattie¡¯s brain. She was actuallypeting with her genius second sister over examination grades? Wasn¡¯t this the same as using an egg to break a stone!
He looked forward to watching Fattie Fang being humiliated when the time came.
Fang Ln quickly opened the expensive door to reveal a room that was around ten meters square big.
The windows were half the size of a regr room. However, it was indeed well decorated. The wallpaper was pale yellow and the curtains were white. Although the bed did not appear to be expensive, it was sturdy with a wooden frame. It was around 1.5 meters wide and the frame matched the colour of the closet.
There was a vanity, a couch, and a ceiling to floor mirror. It contained everything that one could possibly need.
At the first nce, it indeed seemed like a ce where one wouldn¡¯t suffer.
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. Previously, the room walls had been covered in mold. The paint had cracked and was king off. The closet looked splotchy due to its fading colour. From the start, the room did not have any wallpaper and the furniture had been non-existent.
The things she had owned were sufficient to fill up one box.
She had even made her own curtains with newspapers.
It was clear that someone renovated the room overnight.
Furthermore...
The paint and furniture were the expensive sort that did not carry any smell of newness.
Smart move!!
Chapter 139: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (2)
Chapter 139: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (2)
Fang Ln had seen thising. Fang Xinxin hadined to Bai Qinghao yesterday and imed that she had lived in the storeroom for seven years. The matter was not settled at the time and there was a chance that Bai Qinghao would ask to look at the storeroom.
As expected, she was right.
He really wanted to take a look.
If he saw the original appearance of the room Fang Xinxin had used, wouldn¡¯t the Fang family be doomed?
They had renovated the storeroom and made use of the opportunity to deliver Fang Xinxin a big blow. This way, Bai Qinghao would perceive Fang Xinxin to be a lying vixen.
Who knew? Perhaps now, he would change his mind about helping the Fang family.
Fang Ln gestured toward the interior of the room. ¡°CEO Bai, look at the environment here. The Fang home doesn¡¯t have any elevators. Our Xinxin was the one who was toozy to climb the stairs. Hence, I arranged for her to stay here. As you can see, it isn¡¯t ufortable to live here.¡±
Long Shuhai secretly gave Fang Ln a thumbs-up.
She really had the foresight, and was able to predict Bai Qinghao¡¯s intentions.
Thankfully, they had renovated this room earlier.
Fang Xinxin was curious as to how Bai Qinghao would respond now.
He immediately gave Liu Li a look. ¡°Check it.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Liu Li immediately scanned the room thoroughly and returned to report his findings.
¡°Boss, there are no signs of wear and tear on the door. It is obvious that they have installed a new one. The glue on the wallpaper is still wet. The window frame also carries the faint scent of fresh paint. Moreover, the paint is yet to drypletely. It¡¯s clear that the room was renovatedst night.¡±
One of the bodyguards standing behind Bai Qinghao also chipped in. ¡°Boss, I was on dutyst night. I discovered several construction workers quietly renovating the room through the night.¡±
Originally, they were not busybodies who would pay attention to the Fang family¡¯s internal business.
However, since their boss was asking, they would inform him ordingly.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Fang Manxue¡¯s forehead.
Last night, wasn¡¯t there only a single bodyguard who was awake and guarding outside Bai Qinghao¡¯s room? Weren¡¯t the rest of them asleep?
They must have been hiding. To think that the Fang family¡¯s helpers had been thoroughly fooled by them.
She wondered if Li Bingpan had reported her mistake to Bai Qinghao?
If she said she did not enter his room, but was actually seen by the bodyguards, wouldn¡¯t she be in trouble?
Thankfully, they had agreed to say she entered the room but left soon after retrieving her things.
Liu Li returned to stand behind Bai Qinghao respectfully after giving his report.
It was not his intention to help Fang Xinxin reveal the Fang family¡¯s lies. He had only spoken truthfully.
Even though they were exposed, Fang Ln did not falter. ¡°CEO Bai, I admit that I had the room renovated overnight because I was worried that you would be angry. But the truth is that this room was only slightly shabby. But it was asfortable to live in as now.¡±
In any case, Bai Qinghao could not see the way the storeroom used to be. By making light of the situation, she could still cover up this matter.
¡°Fang Xinxin, describe it yourself. What was this storeroom like when you lived here?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin.
¡°I¡¯m poor at speaking. I¡¯m not sure how to describe it.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged.
Fang Ln smiled. ¡°CEO Bai, how different could a storeroom be? It was slightly worn down than the way it appears now. There really aren¡¯t any major differences that would have affected her residing here...¡±
Fang Xinxin used to be soft-hearted earlier. However, right now, she absolutely would not allow herself to be on the losing end.
She brought her old-looking phone out and turned it on.
Although the video of her second sister bribing Li Bingpan was lost, the old videos that she had captured were still there.
She selected one of those which disyed the storeroom. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look at it yourself?¡±
Chapter 140: Fried Chicken And Rice
Chapter 140: Fried Chicken And Rice
If this had been in the past, Fang Manxue would surely haveughed at the sight of Fang Xinxin¡¯s broken phone. This poor wench!
But now the Fang family had lost an eighty million dors contract due to Fang Xinxin¡¯s poor food and living state. Bai Qinghao had even stated he would no longer support the Fang family.
It was not a simple loss for them!
Right now, none of the Fang family members dared tough at Fang Xinxin for having an old and broken phone. Instead, they needed to offer her recements for everything she owned.
Their livers were really hurting from the pent-up anger!
Fang Ln heard Fang Xinxin asking Bai Qinghao to watch a video and knew that this would definitely be a problem.
To think that this fat whore had taken a recording of the old storeroom!
Deftly, she reached out to snatch Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone. However, before she could do so, Liu Li caught hold of the back of her cor and held her up like a little chick. ¡°You dare to snatch something the boss wants to see?¡±
At her age, how could the typically intimidating and awe-inspiring Director of the Fang Group be held up by someone in this manner?
Both her legs had left the ground and she shook her arms to struggle out of his hold. She was frightened. ¡°Q-quickly let go of me!¡±
But without his boss¡¯smand, Liu Li did not bother to even respond.
Fang Manxue also made a discreet move to seize Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone. She was luckier than her mother. Li Bingpan only held his arm up to block her.
After seeing how her mother was pulled up in such a humiliating manner, she understood that Li Bingpan was going easy on her. She could not help but give him a grateful look.
Li Bingpan remained expressionless. He pretended not to have seen anything.
Long Shuhai, on the other hand, breathed out a cautious sigh. Thankfully, he hadn¡¯t behaved rashly.
Since Fang Xinxin had brought the phone out in front of Bai Qinghao, even if they managed to destroy it, it would have only added to the mes.
Bai Qinghao took Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone and started to see the video. He took in the mold-covered walls, the water seepage and the puddles of dirty water. The room did not contain any furniture. There was only a single cardboard box. The window frame was also cracked...
It was not a ce meant for a living being to stay in!
His originally dark expression became worse.
He continued looking through the other videos. One of them captured Fang Xinxin eating a bowl of cup noodles. There was a pile of instant noodle packets stacked in the corner of the room.
The video quality was much poorer than the rest, but he could still understand everything urately.
In another clip, Fang Xinxin approached the dining room. She had likely recorded this one with her phone tucked in her pocket. Fang Ln, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue were enjoying a feast.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s timid voice could be heard. ¡°Mom, second uncle, second sister, can I join you?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I give you twenty packets of instant noodles today? Wasn¡¯t it enough? I¡¯ll give you twenty fried chicken wings tomorrow. After you finish it, I will send some deep fried bread. The day after, it will be deep fried rice...¡± This was Fang Manxue¡¯s voice.
¡°The fried chicken isn¡¯t made with fresh meat. You always buy the cheap, frozen ones. Why do you have to fry the rice as well? Everything is deep fried...¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice sounded dissatisfied.
¡°If you make me eat these everyday, I¡¯ll fall sick from being overweight...¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with being fat?¡± Fang Manxueforted her. ¡°Being fat is a type of fortune. The fatter you are, the more Bai Qinghao will detest you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Listen to your second sister.¡± Fang Ln spoke up as well. ¡°Everyone is doing this for your own good. Don¡¯t be stubborn.¡±
...
Bai Qinghao scrolled through the videos. Most of them showed Fang Xinxin requesting to eat with her family. Despite her numerous requests, she was refused everytime with all sorts of reasons.
He checked and realised that the videos were taken years ago.
It seemed as though smoke was emitting from his head. His voice, however, was icy cold. ¡°Is this what you meant when you said Fang Xinxin always ate the same things as you?¡±
Fang Ln was held up in mid-air by Liu Li. When she saw Bai Qinghao¡¯s murderous gaze, she was scared witless and did not dare to struggle anymore.
Faced with these videos, the crafty Long Shuhai was also at a loss for words. His forehead was covered in sweat.
Chapter 141: Narrow-minded
Chapter 141: Narrow-minded
Fang Manxue watched with reddened eyes as Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s old phone without any issues. Even though Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone was both dirty and old, he did not appear to mind it.
Back when they were at the Yu Ting Vi, she had tried to show him a video recorded on her phone. It was of Fang Xinxin confessing to Bai Chenxi.
However, before he took the phone, he made Liu Li clean it thoroughly with a handkerchief. It was as though her phone carried poison.
The difference in treatment...
She gritted her teeth in anger and nearly crushed them into smithereens.
She dearly wished she could butcher Fang Xinxin into mince meat!
Sooner orter, she would have Bai Qinghao cherish her and keep her in the palm of his hands. She would make him understand that she, Fang Manxue, was the only woman who deserved to be pampered by him!
Herplexion was pale. It was extremely unsightly. Fang Manxue knew that jealousy made a woman ugly, so she took a deep breath in. Afterposing her emotions, she gave Fang Xinxin a reprimanding look. ¡°Fang Xinxin, since you always had these videos, why didn¡¯t you bring them out when we moved your room to the second floor and brought in the new furniture for you?¡±
She then calmly told Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, if Fang Xinxin had brought these videos out earlier, things wouldn¡¯t have escted to this state. She is intentionally trying to worsen the rtionship between you and our family. This way, you¡¯ll be even more dissatisfied with the Fang family.¡±
Fang Ln turned to gaze at Fang Manxue in surprise. It was a heavy responsibility to deal with matters this calmly in the middle of a tough situation.
They were not facing someone simple. To think that against Bai Qinghao, she could still maintain herposure! Even Long Shuhai felt admiration for Fang Manxue... as well as pride.
¡°CEO Bai, you¡¯ve always been objective and impartial. I¡¯m sure you have noticed the problem here.¡± Fang Manxue spoke with a troubled expression. ¡°With regards to the way our family has taken care of Xinxin¡¯s food and amodation... it¡¯s true that we owe her. You¡¯ve already punished us for it. Since we¡¯ve already received the retribution, it¡¯s unreasonable to continue pursuing it and making things difficult for our family. Fang Xinxin is intentionally trying to make things worse for us.¡±
Li Bingpan originally wanted to speak up for Fang Manxue. However, he felt that it was better to remain silent. It would be troublesome if his boss suspected that something was going on between the Fang family and him.
¡°That¡¯s right, CEO Bai. Xinxin, this child, she is still immature and narrow-minded. She holds onto small matters and refuses to let go.¡± Long Shuhai attacked Fang Xinxin while ttering Bai Qinghao. ¡°You can¡¯t lose your perspective because of her.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was absolutely arctic. His body emitted a dark aura, causing everyone around him to tremble subconsciously.
He was enraged. To think that everyone in the Fang family was targeting and abusing his girl like this.
And not a single one of them spoke up for her!
Fang Manxue and the family assumed that Bai Qinghao was convinced by their words and was angry at Fang Xinxin.
So, she began reprimanding Fang Xinxin with all her might. ¡°Third sister, our mother is usually busy, but I have taught you this before. When interacting with others, you have to be broad-minded. Whether or not your food and living were poor, those things are all in the past. You should let it go. The Fang family has lost the support of the Bai family. Isn¡¯t the lesson from this loss sufficiently painful? Must you harp on every small thing? Will you only be happy when you finally push your second sister, your second uncle and your own birth mother to death!¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s heart ached for Fang Ln, who was still being held in mid-air. He saw that Fang Xinxin had eventually ended up causing trouble for herself by bringing out the video, and the momentary victory caused him to be brave.
He approached Liu Li and pried open his fingers to release Fang Ln.
Chapter 142: An Engagement With Manxue?
Chapter 142: An Engagement With Manxue?
Liu Li had held Fang Ln, the old pig, for quite some time. He also felt tired. Thus, he rxed his grip.
Fang Ln¡¯s feet came into contact with the ground and she immediately began sobbing. ¡°Xinxin, Mom has always doted on you the most. The reason your food and living were poorer is really because you were too overweight. I wanted you to shed some pounds. I did it all for your own good. If you gain any more weight, you¡¯ll die from obesity. Wouldn¡¯t mom also expire from heartache then? I never expected you to repay me in this way. You¡¯re refusing to let this matter go, and forcing your family into a dead end!¡±
She turned andmented tearfully to Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m usually busy with work and failed to discipline my daughter well. This is why Xinxin became so narrow-minded and selfish. She won¡¯t let go of even the smallest matters. She really isn¡¯t suited to be the Bai family¡¯s daughter-inw. If you wish to dissolve your marriage contract with her, our Fang family definitely won¡¯t hold any resentments.¡±
Fang Xinxin watched as her family forced her to cut ties with them. All of them were reprimanding her and ming her. Although she had already seen their true colours in her previous life, and had grown numb to this, she could not help feel the pain thatnced through her heart.
For the sake of dissolving her marriage contract with Bai Qinghao, her mother and second uncle were truly willing to make use of every strategy possible.
To think that previously, for the sake of her family, she had stupidly handed over an outstanding man like Bai Qinghao to Fang Manxue without any conditions.
Bai Qinghao had not been able to ept it and still insisted on only wanting her, Fang Xinxin.
In this life, even if he wanted to end their engagement, she would never agree to it.
Unless... Bai Qinghao no longer had her in his heart.
Bai Qinghao nced at Fang Manxue. She immediately put on a shy, beautiful smile. His gaze shifted back to Fang Ln as he asked casually. ¡°If Fang Xinxin is not suited to be Madam Bai... then...¡±
Fang Ln was fearful that if he really dissolved his engagement with Fang Xinxin, the Fang family would not have any more opportunities to hold onto his golden thigh.
She immediately responded with gusto. ¡°The marriage contract between the two families was arranged by your grandmother. How could we make light of her will? Although Xinxin isn¡¯t suitable for you, my daughter Manxue is extremely capable and intelligent. She is beautiful and she handles matters with a broad-mind. She is noble enough to enter your family hall, and virtuous enough to excel in the kitchen despite her wealthy upbringing. She is definitely the most suitable to be Madam Bai...¡±
She went on and on and praised Fang Manxue endlessly.
Fang Manxueined to her mother shyly. ¡°Mom, how can you praise your daughter so much in front of CEO Bai! Your daughter isn¡¯t as outstanding as you say.¡±
Although she uttered these words, she secretly wished her mother would continue to bring up more of her merits.
Long Shuhai wanted to glorify Fang Manxue¡¯s abilities as well.
To his surprise, Bai Qinghao responded to Fang Manxue¡¯s words and continued. ¡°Indeed. Director Fang is especially good at lying through her teeth. Thankfully, at least Fang Manxue possesses some self-awareness. She is able to tell that she isn¡¯t as good as Director Fang is making her out to be. A filthy woman like her isn¡¯t even suited to hold my shoes. Where did Director Fang find the face to nudge her towards the position of Madam Bai?¡±
Not even suited to hold his shoes?!?
Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful, delicately made up face turned ugly in an instant.
Even Fang Ln was dumbstruck. How could Bai Qinghao insult her baby, Fang Manxue, in this manner?
Long Shuhai was simrly angered into curling his fists tightly. However, he did not dare to make any noise of dissent.
¡°CEO Bai... Manxue wishes to know. Why do you think I¡¯m... filthy?¡± Fang Manxue struggled to repeat the word he had used to describe her. Her eyes had reddened from her grievance and tears pooled in them, nearly about to fall. There was no need to mention just how pitiful she appeared at this juncture.
Fang Manxue had a beautiful face and a curvaceous, outstanding body. A great beauty like her was disying an extremely pitiful expression. A typical man¡¯s heart would have already shattered in heartache for her.
Chapter 143: Hypocritical Bastards
Chapter 143: Hypocritical Bastards
Even Li Bingpan, who stood expressionlessly by the side, could not help but wish to protect Fang Manxue because of the way she appeared right now.
Liu Li, on the other hand, found the fat and ugly Fang Xinxin to be a little pitiful. The Fang family had relied on her engagement with his boss for so many years, and obtained so much benefit.
In the end, the Fang family turned out to be a bunch of bastards who were not at all grateful to her. Instead, they targeted her time and again.
¡°You¡¯re asking me why?¡± A hint of mocking appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold, stern features.
He did not feel even an iota of sympathy looking at Fang Manxue¡¯s pitiful appearance. Instead, his anger was about to blow up any moment. ¡°Every single one of you has been taking turns to reprimand Fang Xinxin for being narrow-minded, petty, and selfish. You all seem determined to push her into a dead-end. None of you have bothered to listen to her exnation though. Why?¡±
Fang Xinxin watched as Bai Qinghao protected her. The sharp pain in her chest, from being hurt by her blood-rted rtives, eased significantly. Right now, she was no longer a weak victim who would stand still to take a blow from others. She immediately pursed her lips. ¡°Fang Manxue, didn¡¯t you ask me why I didn¡¯t bring out the videos earlier?¡±
Well, she had done it intentionally to encourage Bai Qinghao to continue punishing these hypocritical bastards.
However, she would not admit this!
Weren¡¯t Fang Manxue and Fang Ln especially good at ying up the righteous card all the time? She would be a good student and learn from them. ¡°The reason I didn¡¯t bring these videos out when you first moved me into the guest room is because I cared too much about you, second sister...¡±
She transferred her gaze onto Fang Ln. ¡°And you as well, mother. I thought that, if the two of you wanted to erase the traces of the past seven years that I¡¯ve spent living in the storeroom, so be it. You insisted on pretending as though you treated me well, but all the cosmetics and clothes you bought for me were nothing but rubbish. You abused me for years. It was only reasonable for Bai Qinghao to be unhappy and cease his aid to the Fang family. Originally... I had nned to never show these videos to anyone because I still valued our rtionship. I wanted to keep the ugly truth hidden forever. But Bai Qinghao wanted to know what my living condition used to be like, didn¡¯t he? All I did was, give him a peek into it.¡±
She took a deep breath and continued slowly. ¡°Second sister said that Bai Qinghao has already punished the Fang family for abusing me. If he dealt out any more punishments after this, I would have definitely stopped him. Hence, even if the videos were revealed, there wouldn¡¯t have been any major consequences. Since he wanted to look at them, and they wouldn¡¯t harm anyone, what problems could there possibly be in him seeing them?¡±
Her expression turned sorrowful as she watched Long Shuhai, Fang Ln and Fang Manxue in disbelief. ¡°But I never expected for each of you to... to criticise me for being selfish and petty just because of a small, harmless matter. You utterly destroyed my moral conduct with your words. Hold onto your conscience and ask yourselves: how much support has Bai Qinghao given to the Fang family over the years for my sake? During Chinese New Year and other important festivities, the gifts that the Bai family delivered to you were always valuable and expensive. Out of all the benefits you received, was there a single portion of it that ended up in my hands? No! Those were the goodies that the Bai family offered to the Fang family with me in mind, but not even a bit of it reached me. I was mentally abused, lived horribly and ate poorly in your home. I never made a single fuss about it. This was all because I cared too much about the three of you. But you have sure repaid me well. You actually used me of wanting to force my own rtives to their deaths!¡±
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were bing increasingly rmed as they listened to her.
When Liu Li and the rest of the bodyguards heard this, they all felt utter contempt for the three of them. The Fang family usually appeared to be proper and dignified. To think that they were actually this greedy!
¡°Enough, Xinxin, don¡¯t say anymore...¡± Fang Ln¡¯s heart stuttered in fear.
Herplexion was frighteningly pale. If Fang Xinxin continued any longer, would Bai Qinghao still let them stay alive?
Chapter 144: More Punishments
Chapter 144: More Punishments
Bai Qinghao¡¯s rage was all-consuming. He raised his voice and said, ¡°You bastards! Xinxin has clearly suffered for years in your Fang home. You renovated the storeroom overnight and lied tantly that she lived and ate well. After having your own lies exposed, you still had the gall to deliver Fang Xinxin another blow. If you didn¡¯t nder her, would there be this much trouble? The sins we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear! All the benefits that the Bai family gave to the Fang family over the years were meant for Fang Xinxin. How were they rted to you? But you actually dared to keep them all for yourselves! Spit them back out, right now!¡±
¡°Ah!¡± Fang Ln cried out. ¡°CEO Bai, I...¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was as pale as ash.
Right now, not only was Bai Qinghao refusing to support the Fang family, he was actually demanding that they return all of the benefits they had received from him...
Fang Manxue, Fang Ln and Long Shuhai had all grown used to the wealthy lifestyle and spending extravagantly.
The benefits the Bai family had given them added up to billions. How could they possibly have enough money to return them?
Even if they did, they would never give it back!
Long Shuhai¡¯s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
But he was still hopeful about not returning the money.
¡°Xinxin, why aren¡¯t you speaking up for us?¡± Fang Ln rushed to tug Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand.
¡°You said earlier that if Bai Qinghao tried to punish us any further, you would help us.¡±
Fang Xinxin threw Fang Ln¡¯s hand away. ¡°I originally nned to do so. But all of you used me of being self-centred. You even tried to destroy my engagement with Bai Qinghao. I¡¯vepletely given up on all of you. I no longer have any familial rtionships with the three of you. It¡¯s only right for Bai Qinghao to force you to return the benefits you have taken from the Bai family.¡±
¡°No! Fang Xinxin, you promised you wouldn¡¯t let Bai Qinghao punish the Fang family any further. How can you go back on your words?¡± Fang Manxue shrieked and reprimanded Fang Xinxin.
¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll stick to my words.¡± Fang Xinxin calmly turned to Bai Qinghao.
¡°Bai Qinghao, please don¡¯t punish the Fang family. But this is just my request. You¡¯ve never been one to take other people¡¯s face into ount, right? So, all you have to do is to stick to your own intentions.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue was stifled with anger.
This method of begging for mercy was no different from not attempting at all.
Bai Qinghao understood that Fang Xinxin did not wish for him to protect the Fang family anymore. Moreover, she also did not want the Bai family to suffer any additional losses.
He did not mind letting go of the benefits he had given to the Fang family. But these hypocrites did not have the rights to enjoy the Bai family¡¯s favour. Even offering it to beggars would be better than saving it for them.
He immediately instructed in his frigid, heavy voice. ¡°Inform the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s ountancy department. Let them sum up all the money the Fang family has obtained through projects from the Bai family. Make Fang Ln spit out every single cent of it. As for the gifts given to the Fang family during festivities, there¡¯s no need to take those into ount.¡±
From what he knew, before Father Fang, Long Yifan, becameatose, he had doted excessively on Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin also had an adoptive brother named Fang Shaohua. He also used to care dearly for Fang Xinxin prior to being jailed.
The two of them had also enjoyed those gifts. Hence, it wasn¡¯t right to be calctive with those things.
Before Long Yifan and Fang Shaohua met with trouble, they had both sought him out separately to request that he stop supporting the Fang group. They had imed that all the money and projects he gave to the Fang family only entered Fang Ln¡¯s hands.
For the sake of those two, he would go a little easy on Fang Ln, this cheap wench.
Fang Ln strongly regretted renovating the storeroom. She had wanted to im that Fang Xinxin had lived well here, but... now, she had to vomit out everything that she received from the Bai family over the years!
Fang Manxue also never expected things to turn this bad. Herplexion had turned green due to regret.
Long Shuhai felt somewhat resentful of Fang Ln. From the start, he did not agree with the scheme to renovate the storeroom. This was because if the matter was carried out poorly, they would end up causing trouble for themselves. And that¡¯s exactly what happened!
Chapter 145: Calculations
Chapter 145: Calctions
However, Fang Ln had argued that if Bai Qinghao started to believe that Fang Xinxin was full of lies, and the Fang family did not abuse her, he would continue providing support to the Fang family.
If things went their way, in a fit of anger, he could even end his engagement with Fang Xinxin.
Long Shuhai had been moved by her words and decided to give into her.
Look what happened now! Everything was gone!
¡°Yes.¡± Liu Li immediately made the call. The moment the call ended, the other party immediately began preparing the ounts.
Fang Ln¡¯s features remained attractive despite her age. She immediately put on a ttering smile. ¡°CEO Bai, we¡¯re a family. Is there a need to calcte everything so clearly?¡±
Bai Qinghao was expressionless, and his eyes were cold. ¡°I haven¡¯t added up the interests from the projects the Sheng Shi Group gave to the Fang family over the years. The gifts from the yearly festivities have also been left out. Could it be that the Fang family wishes to take those into ount?¡±
Fang Ln was frightened into waving her hands. ¡°No, no, no, how could there possibly be such a need? What I mean is, the things you gave us belong in the past. They don¡¯t have to be calcted.¡±
Bai Qinghao was infuriated by her response. His expression darkened once more. ¡°The money and projects given to you were meant for you to hold Fang Xinxin dearly in your palms, for her to live in thep of luxury and to be treated like a princess! You sure did well. You abused her to this extent. I¡¯m already going easy on you by only asking you to return the money from the projects!¡±
When Bai Qinghao was angered, it appeared as if the King of Hell had just ascended. A heavy, intimidating aura surrounded him and held everyone in his grip. They were barely able to breath.
Truly, they could die just from fright alone.
Fang Ln¡¯s heart ached for the money she was about to lose. Despite her fear, she persisted in trying to cajole him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, even if I was in the wrong, no matter what, I am still your future mother-inw...¡±
¡°Future mother-inw?¡± Bai Qinghao sneered mockingly. ¡°Earlier, who was it that wanted to dissolve my marriage contract with Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°We¡¯re not dissolving it, not dissolving it!¡± Fang Ln waved her hands frantically.
If the Bai family dissolved the marriage contract but they failed to rece Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e with Fang Manxue, there would be nothing for the Fang family to gain from the situation.
It would be wiser for Fang Xinxin to temporarily hold onto the title of the future Commander¡¯s wife.
Although Fang Manxue was angered by her mother¡¯s soft attitude, she was helpless.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark. His voice was firm and threatening. ¡°Fang Ln, you had better listen up. My, Bai Qinghao¡¯s, marriage is none of your concern. If you dare to bring up ending my engagement with Fang Xinxin again, I¡¯ll immediately order someone to sew up your lips!¡±
¡°Ah!¡± Fang Ln was frightened into covering her mouth. ¡°CEO Bai, CEO Bai, I won¡¯t do it again. I promise I won¡¯t mention it again!¡±
It seemed like she really, really could not mention ending their engagement again.
But Fang Manxue needed to be the Commander¡¯s future wife.
The only option...
Fang Ln¡¯s gaze shifted onto the silent Fang Xinxin.
The only option was for her to take the initiative to request for the engagement to be ended.
Fang Manxue continued toin in her heart about Fang Xinxin being so fat and ugly. What exactly was so good about her? Why did Bai Qinghao keep insisting on marrying her?
The jealousy in Fang Manxue¡¯s seemed to spill over like a pot of boiling water. Her chest could not seem to contain her rage and her eyes reddened with the unspent emotions.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s attitude moved Fang Xinxin greatly. As she watched him, her eyes were filled with pink hearts.
Uu... this was her idol. She knew that he would remain firm on his decision to marry her.
Bai Qinghao recognised the admiration in Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes and his agitated emotions quietened down.
Chapter 146: Luxurious Lifestyle
Chapter 146: Luxurious Lifestyle
In fact, he wasn¡¯t someone who could be easily angered. The Fang family was not worth his fury.
What caused him to be upset was the years of grievance Xinxin had suffered here! His heart was aching badly for her.
¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Bai Qinghao tugged on his fianc¨¦e¡¯s small hand. He brought her to the dining table. ¡°The dishes are almost cold. Let the kitchen warm it up.¡±
Fang Ln immediately spoke up fawningly. ¡°I¡¯ll immediately have the helpers bring it into the kitchen...¡±
Liu Li chipped in from behind Bai Qinghao. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble Director Fang. Other people are not allowed to touch our boss¡¯s food and drinks.¡±
He waved his hand and the chef that was waiting outside the Yu Ting Vi immediately pushed a cart in. He ced the dishes onto the cart and left for the converted bus apartment parked in the front yard. He then used to microwave there to warm up the food.
The luxurious bus apartment had also been brought here from the Yu Ting Vi. There was a kitchen upstairs with various stoves and tools. There was also a bathroom, a main bedroom, a dining room, and more. It had everything one could possibly need and was basically a miniature house on wheels.
Fang Xinxin knew that Bai Qinghao had a lot of enemies. With his power and position, it was hard to guarantee that there was no one out to harm him.
Furthermore, he also had mysophobia.
Whenever he went out, he would usually book a kitchen in a nearby hotel and arrange for his own chefs to cook there. If there weren¡¯t any kitchens avable to be used, then, he would have his chefs prepare the food on this converted bus.
After all, although they could simply use the converted bus each time, a hotel¡¯s kitchen was better equipped and convenient.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin had toured the converted bus once. She had found the interior to be extremely luxurious and spacious.
Every dish was warmed up for around thirty seconds. A few minutester, the delicious-looking dishes were returned to the dining table.
¡°For the sake of a few outsiders, we¡¯ve dyed our meal. It really was a waste of time.¡± Bai Qinghao shifted his sharp gaze onto Fang Ln and the rest.
Fang Ln was trembling as she responded. ¡°Yes, yes. In the future, we will not disturb CEO Bai¡¯s meal again.¡±
The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s head chef personally served Bai Qinghao. ¡°Boss, please taste the Three vour Soup. It¡¯s very fresh and sweet...¡±
Seeing that Bai Qinghao did not seem against it, the head chef served him a bowl of soup.
Bai Qinghao personally filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Fang Xinxin. Throughout the meal, he kept cing more food into her bowl.
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were dumbstruck by the sight.
The noble and powerful Bai Qinghao had never kept any women by his side. Why was he serving Fang Xinxin so endearingly now?
The bodyguards and the chef by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side were no longer surprised by this.
During the short period Fang Xinxin had lived in the Yu Ting Vi, whenever she ate her meals, she always enjoyed this miraculous honour.
Fang Xinxin noticed the pairs of eyes fixated on her and felt a little awkward. ¡°I can do it on my own...¡±
Bai Qinghao also noticed her embarrassment. He turned to order Fang Ln and the rest of them. ¡°Wait by the side.¡±
¡°Yes, yes...¡± Fang Ln brought Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai to the living room.
The living room was connected to the dining room. Fang Manxue watched as Bai Qinghao put on a pair of disposable gloves to help Fang Xinxin peel the prawns. He fed the peeled prawns directly to her.
Seeing his considerate and loving action, he appeared to be a sweet husband who was doting on his wife.
Her hair was nearly standing up with anger!
She was clearly much more outstanding than Fang Xinxin, be it in terms of figure, appearance, attractiveness, intelligence...
She was better than Fang Xinxin in every way.
The affection that Bai Qinghao was giving to Fang Xinxin was supposed to belong to her!
Fang Ln noticed that Fang Manxue¡¯s ugly expression had be fairly apparent. She tugged her hand and spoke softly. ¡°Set your anger aside. Let¡¯s leave first.¡±
Chapter 147: Bai Qinghao Is Petty
Chapter 147: Bai Qinghao Is Petty
The Sheng Shi Group¡¯s ountant was currently summing up their debt.
Were they supposed to wait for him to finish his task so that they could vomit out all the wealth they had obtained from the Bai family over the years?
With her reminder, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai shrunk back and tried their best to suppress their existence. They shifted slowly towards the living room entrance.
The n was to leave this ce and hide themselves for a period of time. If Bai Qinghao could not find them, perhaps he would give up on making them return the money.
Liu Li, who stood behind Bai Qinghao, noticed their actions and shook his head.
Did the Fang family think they would be fine as long as they escaped from this ce?
If his boss wanted to look for someone, even if they turned into ashes, they would be piled up and sent back to him.
Boss was always firm and decisive in handling their matters.
Where could they possibly run to?
The other bodyguards standing outside the entrance immediately hauled Fang Manxue, Long Shuhai and Fang Ln back into the living room. They were tossed onto the sofa unceremoniously.
¡°Be more honest, stop moving!¡± One of the bodyguards threatened. ¡°If you dare run again, we¡¯ll break your legs!¡±
Fang Ln shrunk back into the sofa but tried to remain brave. ¡°I¡¯m your CEO Bai¡¯s future mother-inw. How dare you threaten me...¡±
¡°Earlier, didn¡¯t you hear our boss ordering you to stay by the side? If you dare to escape and go against his orders, it won¡¯t be out of line even if we killed you!¡±
The other party was not giving them any face. Fang Ln nearly wet her pants in fright. Her body was trembling and she did not dare to speak up again.
Long Shuhai was also shaking. He did not dare to even release a fart.
Fang Manxue, however, was thoroughly charmed as she sat on the sofa to gaze at Bai Qinghao while he ate. His actions were graceful and noble. His aura was unlike any other being. He was an emperor sitting above the people. One would feelpelled to bow down to him at the first nce itself.
This outstanding man was definitely hers! He was Fang Manxue¡¯s!
The more Fang Manxue watched him, the more her eyes became besotted.
After finishing their meals, Bai Qinghao considerately used a disposable warm towel to wipe Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips.
Fang Manxue indulged in her fantasies. If the woman by his side was not Fang Xinxin but hers... He was wiping her lips gently... And then leaning over to kiss her...
Fang Ln noticed Fang Manxue¡¯s strange smile and asked her in confusion. ¡°Daughter, what are you thinking about?¡±
¡°Nothing much.¡± Fang Manxue returned to herself and spoke softly. ¡°Mom, sooner orter, Bai Qinghao will treat me better than this Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Ln responded quietly.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had finished their meals. The chef quickly cleared the dishes.
Right then, a middle-aged man dressed in a ck suit hurried into the Fang family vi¡¯s living room.
The entire Fang family recognised him. He was the head ountant in the Sheng Shi Group, Zhang Yuanzhi.
Zhang Yuanzhi stopped before Bai Qinghao and gave him a respectful bow. He brought out a thick stack of documents from his bag. ¡°CEO Bai, these are the details of the projects which were used to support the Fang family financially over the years. They sum up to 1,547,700,000 dors.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. ¡°That much! It¡¯s more than a billion dors. My god.¡±
Although she knew that Fang Ln often reached out for benefits from Bai Qinghao¡¯s hands, she had assumed the sum to be not more than a few million dors.
This was because Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai had fooled herpletely. They oftenined about how petty Bai Qinghao was, iming he only gave them a few hundred thousand dors whenever they asked for help.
They had evenined that the Fang Group was nothing less than a mid-range corporation. Still, Bai Qinghao had the face to only give them so little. In their words, he was basically trying to get them off his back.
Chapter 148: Bai Qinghao Is Petty (Part 2)
Chapter 148: Bai Qinghao Is Petty (Part 2)
They had even imed they were not taking advantage of the Bai family. They had vowed to return what they owed to the Bai family when the Fang Group earned more money.
In the end, till her death, the Fang family did not pay Bai Qinghao a single cent. From the start, they had no intentions of paying him back!
These bloodsuckers! They had already sucked more than a billion dors from Bai Qinghao. If she did not stop them now, how much more would they take from him after she married him?
She struggled to imagine it. During her previous lifetime, from before their marriage till her death, exactly how much did they take from Bai Qinghao¡¯s hands?
Back then, she had once asked Bai Qinghao if he gave a lot of money to the Fang family.
At the time, Bai Qinghao had carelessly responded that he only gave the things that slipped through the gaps of his fingers to them, on her ount.
Even the things that slipped through his fingers were worth enough money to smash someone to death. It was no wonder her second sister was willing to employ every possible scheme to snatch Bai Qinghao away...
¡°There¡¯s no need for the Third Fang Lady to be surprised.¡± Zhang Yuanzhi, the head ountant of the Sheng Shi group spoke up.
¡°Just recently, our CEO approved of an eighty million dors project for the Fang Group. Due to unknown reasons, the project was terminatedst minute. The eighty million dors fund is yet to be transferred out.¡±
In the living room, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were angered by the reminder of the eighty million dors. The money had nearly entered their pockets!
This was all because of Fang Xinxin¡¯s interference.
Eighty million dors was arge sum of money. Every mention of it caused them to feel as though they had lost a part of their own flesh.
Fang Xinxin however, had captured Zhang Yuanzhi¡¯s main point. ¡°That¡¯s a lot of money. Was it meant to be directly transferred to the Fang family? Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be used for the project?¡±
Zhang Yuanzhi exined with a nod. ¡°Although it¡¯s called a project contract, the only purpose of the contract is for the Fang Group to receive a certain percentage of the profit from the project. The Fang Group does not have to invest any sum of money or make any effort. They only have to wait to collect the money when the project concludes.¡±
¡°What?¡± Fang Xinxin was startled into mming the table and standing up. ¡°What kind of project fund is that? Isn¡¯t Bai Qinghao just gifting money to the Fang group?¡±
¡°That is the case.¡± Zhang Yuanzhi added.
¡°By telling others that the money is meant for the project fund, it is to save the face for the Fang Family. Reputation-wise, it would be better than telling others that the Fang family are simply taking money from the Bai family.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s body felt weak from anger. Exactly how stupid had she been in herst life? ¡°What is the least amount Bai Qinghao has ever given to the Fang home.¡±
Zhang Zhiyuan had studied all the documents. He did not have to check the papers to recall the numbers. Although he did not understand why she was asking this, he still responded. ¡°That would be 4,500,000 dors.¡±
Fang Xinxin red angrily at Fang Ln and the others who were present in the living room. She gritted her teeth. ¡°Very good! Didn¡¯t the three of you say that Bai Qinghao is especially stingy? Each time, he only gave you guys only a couple of hundred thousand dors? You even imed that all of the owed money summed up to be less than a few million dors?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and handsomeplexion darkened.
He lifted his hand and the bodyguards immediately understood his meaning. They dragged Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai to stand before him.
Bai Qinghao sat at the dining table. He tapped his fingers against the table lightly. His voice had turned dangerous and threatening. ¡°I¡¯m stingy and only gave you guys a hundred thousand dors at a go?¡±
It was the same question, but Fang Ln and the others had been fearless when Fang Xinxin had posed it.
They had long grown used to pinching this soft persimmon. It was kind enough of them to not pinch her to death. As if they would be afraid of her!
However, when they heard the same question from Bai Qinghao, they immediately began to tremble.
¡°C... CEO Bai, I shouldn¡¯t have said that!¡± Fang Ln spoke in embarrassment.
¡°I was only joking with Xinxin...¡±
She then nced at Fang Xinxin in unhappiness. ¡°You brat, why don¡¯t you have any brains? Even the cigars that CEO Bai uses are worth more than several hundred thousand dors a box. He is such a generous man. How could he possibly give the Fang family so little?¡±

¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Long Shuhai levelled a resentful look at Fang Xinxin. ¡°It was a simple joke we cracked amongst ourselves. How could you twist our words in front of CEO Bai?¡±
¡°Hmph, a joke.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you talk about the way you stuck your tongues out when youined that Bai Qinghao was stingy in front of me?¡±
Long Shuhai wanted to refute her. However, he noticed Bai Qinghao¡¯s thunderous expression and did not dare to speak up again.
Fang Manxue rushed to clear her own te. ¡°CEO Bai, I did not use a single cent of the money my mother took from you. Although I have my daily expenses, my mother was the one who bought those things for me. I only used the allowance she gave me.¡±
Long Shuhai also immediately added. ¡°CEO Bai, those funds were given to the Fang family by the Sheng Shi Group. My surname is Long. As the Fang Group¡¯s general manager, my pay is only slightly higher than everyone else¡¯s. This matter is unrted to me. The money, they were all taken by Li... they were all taken by my sister-inw, Fang Ln alone.¡±
Zhang Yuanzhi acknowledged this. ¡°Indeed, Ms. Fang Ln was the one who signed the papers each time the money was collected.¡±
Fang Ln watched as her daughter and Long Shuhai both pushed the responsibilitypletely on her. She could not help but feel her heart turning cold.
Although the money had been collected by her, the two of them did not spend any less than she did.
¡°Mom, quickly say something!¡± Fang Manxue was flustered.
Fang Ln deliberated over it. Since things had turned out like this, there was no point in dragging Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai down with her. It would be better if she took responsibility for this alone. ¡°It¡¯s true. This matter is unrted to Long Shuhai and Manxue. I¡¯m the only person who collected the money from the Sheng Shi Group.¡±
Bai Qinghao did not waste time speaking nonsense. ¡°Then, you will be responsible for paying back the debt, as well.¡±
Fang Ln began toment with tears dripping down her cheeks. ¡°It¡¯s more than a billion dors, CEO Bai. How could I possibly have that much money? The Fang Group¡¯s business hasn¡¯t been very good over the past few years. We haven¡¯t earned much. The financial support you gave us was used up over the years.¡±
But the truth was that aside from Bai Qinghao¡¯s money, over the years, plenty of people gave her face for being Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother-inw. She had sessfully conducted a lot of business and actually did earn some profit.
¡°My father is in a vegetative state. Over the years, my mother¡¯s expenses haven¡¯t been small. She¡¯s been supporting this family all by herself. She really doesn¡¯t have any excess money left...¡± Fang Manxue appeared troubled as she spoke up.
¡°CEO Bai, please take it as though you are doing a good deed...¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at her in impatience. Liu Li understood and immediately brought out a piece of white cloth. He balled it up and shoved it into Fang Manxue¡¯s mouth.
¡°Uu...¡± Fang Manxue was stunned.
Fang Ln saw her daughter¡¯s mouth getting blocked. She felt aggrieved but had no way of venting it. She began crying even harder. ¡°CEO Bai, I really don¡¯t have any money. If I did, would I not give it?¡±
Asking her to toss away a billion dors, weren¡¯t they asking for her old life?
Bai Qinghao lit a cigarette and smoke swirled around him. ¡°Have you checked Fang Ln¡¯s personal ounts?¡±
¡°Yes, sir,¡± Zhang Yuanzhi responded.
As the top finance group in the world, the Sheng Shi Group had more than enough ountants.
To be the head ountant, he naturally possessed some ability. How could he possibly fail to aplish a small task like this?
¡°Responding to the CEO, the Fang Group currently has 4,60,000,000 dors in it¡¯s ount bnce. In Fang Ln¡¯s foreign bank ounts, there are 7,70,385,000 dors. Over the past two years, the stocks, properties and cars that she has bought... sum up to around 1,50,000,000 dors. After adding everything up, she still owes the Sheng Shi Group more than a hundred million dors.¡±

Upon hearing this, Fang Ln¡¯splexion turned pale.
Bai Qinghao had actually found out about her hidden foreign bank ounts and private properties. His connections were truly frighteningly wide!
Long Shuhai was really upset as he turned to look at Fang Ln.
She had told him that all the money was invested in the Fang Group funds. In that case, why did she have such arge sum in her foreign bank ounts?
This woman really hid it well.
Zhang Yuanzhi interrogated her with an expressionless face. ¡°Ms. Fang, we¡¯ve thoroughly investigated everything that you own. Do you still dare to say that you have no money?¡±
After being backed into a corner, Fang Ln was no longer afraid of death. She stopped crying and shouted out. ¡°So what if I have money? I refuse to give it to you!¡±
What could they possibly do to her?
¡°Come!¡± Bai Qinghao shouted, ¡°Take Fang Ln and...¡±
Before he could continue, Fang Ln became fearful that he would punish her. ¡°CEO Bai, I am your future mother-inw. No matter what, you have to take Xinxin into consideration! You can¡¯t use force against me!¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at Fang Xinxin and continued in an unfazed manner. ¡°In that case, I will give Fang Xinxin some face. Zhang Yuanzhi, tell her about the legal matters.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
Zhang Yuanzhi said in a stern manner, ¡°Ms. Zhang Ln, the money our CEO gave to you was not for you or the Fang family. It was meant for Fang Xinxin alone. This was properly written in the contracts. Each time you collected the money, you signed the contract with Fang Xinxin¡¯s name. However, you are not Fang Xinxin. The Sheng Shi Group can pursue this by suing you for fraud. You¡¯ve scammed more than a billion dors out of the Sheng Shi Group. This alone would be sufficient for you to be jailed for the rest of your life. Would you prefer to stay in jail forever, or would you prefer to return the money?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s face was bloodless now. She begged Bai Qinghao in a frightened voice. ¡°CEO Bai, you can¡¯t actually be nning to send me to jail, right?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s face remained expressionless. He pinched the cigarette butt and tossed it into the ashtray. ¡°It seems like Director Fang still does not wish to return the money. Toss her in the jail. She is to stay locked up for the rest of her life. No one is allowed to bail her out!¡±
Two bodyguards immediately held Fang Ln¡¯s arms and started to drag her out.
Fang Ln was genuinely flustered now. She began shouting at Fang xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, you have to beg CEO Bai for me. He will definitely listen to you. He will definitely give you face!¡±
¡°Mom, CEO Bai has already given me face by not using force against you.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged carelessly. ¡°Although I would love to help, there¡¯s nothing more that I can do.¡±
She wanted the Fang family to spit out all the money they had taken from the Bai family. How could she possibly speak up for her?
Fang Manxue watched in agitation as her mother was dragged further and further away. She was helpless. ¡°Uu... uu...¡±
Long Shuhai wanted to help Fang Ln but his own life was at stake. He waspletely flustered. ¡°Ln, you have to return the money! CEO Bai never goes back on his word. Once you go inside the jail, you really won¡¯t be able to escape from there for the rest of your life. Money can still be earned back!¡±
Fang Ln seemed to be enlightened by his words.
In the past, the Bai family only used to give expensive gifts to the Fang family during special festivities. They did not give them any financial support.
The current sum owed had been umted over the past seven years. But there were still a lot of seven years ahead of them. As long as they managed to please Bai Qinghao again, the money could be earned again!
She screamed haplessly. ¡°CEO Bai, I don¡¯t want to be jailed! I¡¯ll pay! I¡¯ll pay every single cent!¡±
Bai Qinghao gave the bodyguards a look and they finally let go of Fang Ln¡¯s elbows.
Zhang Yuanzhi nced at her coldly. ¡°Ms. Fang Ln, if you had decided to return the money earlier, would there have been this much drama?¡±
Fang Ln smiled stiffly. She did not have the strength to speak up.
It was more than a billion dors. After cing it into her pocket, she was forced to spit it back out. This was akin to asking for half of her life. Was she supposed to give it up so easily?

Chapter 151: Three Months Of Deep Fried Rice
¡°However, even after adding up all of your properties and savings, you are still around a hundred million dors short.¡± Zhang Yuanzhi remained focused on the task at hand. ¡°How do you n on paying back this sum?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯splexion was pale and gloomy. ¡°You¡¯ve discovered all my savings and properties. I really don¡¯t have anything left. Do you want me to go borrow from someone?¡±
She paused for a moment before sneaking a look at Bai Qinghao. ¡°It¡¯s really hard to borrow money at this time of the year. My future son-inw, I can only borrow the money from you. If I ask other people, they will definitely give you face and agree. Wouldn¡¯t that be your aplishment?¡±
¡°Do you think that I won¡¯t keep my word?¡± Bai Qinghao sneered mockingly. ¡°I already told you that from today onwards, the Bai family will not give the Fang family anymore support. This means that no one will take my face into ount and offer any benefits to the Fang family. That includes money.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s face was bing more and more gloomy. ¡°CEO Bai, I really don¡¯t have anyone to borrow from...¡±
She scanned the vi. ¡°How about, I give this house to you? This vi is worth some money. After subtracting the hundred million dors, you can return the extra to me.¡±
Eighteen years ago, Long Yifan had gifted this vi to Fang Xinxin on her first birthday.
She had wanted to sell this vi since a long time. Unfortunately, the ownership belonged to Fang Xinxin. She had attempted to persuade her repeatedly but the fat wench was insistent about not selling it.
This was a good opportunity to get rid of it.
¡°Although the Fang family¡¯s vi was built eighteen years ago, thankfully the location is good. At the current market price, it¡¯s worth a few hundred million dors.¡± Zhang Yuanzhi reported seriously. ¡°I¡¯ve checked the ownership deed. The vi belongs to Miss Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s money and properties cannot be touched.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze was unmoved. All of the money he gave them had been meant for Fang Xinxin. How could he possibly touch her house?
His sharp gaze swept past Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai. ¡°The hundred million dors Fang Ln still owes can be easily resolved. For your future meals, the three of you will only be able to have fried chicken, deep fried rice and instant noodles... you¡¯re only allowed to have whatever you made Fang Xinxin eat in the Fang home for the past few years. After three months of doing so, the debt will be cleared. If you fail to do so, you will spend the rest of your time in jail.¡±
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. He was standing up for her because his heart ached for the suffering she had endured.
Indeed, the Fang family ought to experience what they had put her through.
¡°Ah...¡± Fang Ln covered her lips.
Her idea to sell the vi had failed, and now they wanted her to eat junk food everyday? She was already used to having luxurious, expensive food for every meal. The thought of it caused her heart to hurt.
¡°If you don¡¯t agree, you are wee to walk into the jail immediately.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was non-negotiable.
¡°I agree, I agree!¡± Fang Ln had no choice but to nod stiffly.
Long Shuhai gritted his teeth. ¡°I agree toply as well.¡± After so many years, it was only right to repay Ln a little.
Fang Manxue shook her head unwillingly. ¡°Uu...¡±
Her mouth was stuffed and she could not speak.
Fang Ln pressed her head down for her to nod. ¡°Manxue is also willing.¡±
¡°Very well. The three of you, please follow me to sign a contract. The contract will clearly state the food that the three of you are allowed to eat for the next three months. Ms. Fang Ln, you will also have to sign a contract agreeing to repay your debt, and to return the money owed to the Sheng Shi Group for its project funds...¡± Zhang Yuanzhi was extremely detailed when it came to work.
Long Shuhai grumbled. ¡°Why do we have to sign a contract for food...¡±
¡°Work has to be handled appropriately.¡± If he did not do so, would he still be the head ountant?
Fang Ln, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue were brought away to sign the contract.
The living room immediately became much quieter.
Bai Qinghao sat on the chair with six bodyguards standing behind him.
Chapter 152: Slept With You?
Chapter 152: Slept With You?
Fang Xinxin sighed. She looked into Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes in confusion. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re so smart. How did you manage to be cheated of more than a billion dors by my mom?¡±
Thankfully they had managed to regain the sum of money, though they were still short by a hundred million dors.
Nevertheless, punishing the Fang family, who were used tofortable lives, with three months of deep fried junk food was not a bad option.
Bai Qinghao tugged her forward to sit on hisp. A hint of doting appeared on his stern and sharp features.
His heartache could clearly be heard through his voice. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of you? Each time I tried to give you money, you always refused me. You told me that your mother takes good care of you. In the past, you always mentioned how well your family treated you. Since you didn¡¯t want my money, I thought that, by giving the money to your family members, they would take care of you on my behalf.¡±
Fang Xinxin recalled the way she had always raised her voice and rebuffed him whenever Bai Qinghao offered her money. She would even scold him for attempting to buy her over with his wealth.
Her tone was always harsh, especially when she insisted that her feelings for Bai Chenxi would not change even if he gave her his entire empire.
In the end...
Bai Chenxi, who was always stingy when it came to her, had cheated her off the money that Bai Qinghao gave her. He was no different from a toy boy.
Furthermore, he had only intended to use her to target Bai Qinghao.
Instead, Bai Qinghao was the person who loved her with all his might.
She sighed. It turned out that it was only an indication of the other person¡¯s love when he was willing to give one money.
Bai Qinghao frowned with heartache and helplessness. ¡°Fang Xinxin, why are you so silly? Your family treated you so poorly, yet you continued to praise them in front of me.¡±
She sniffled with a gloomy expression. She replied softly. ¡°I won¡¯t do it again.¡±
Her stupidity had reached its end. In this life, she wanted to be an intelligent person.
¡°It¡¯s good as long as you won¡¯t do it again. Don¡¯t me yourself for the past.¡± He pinched her thin, sharp nose lovingly and demanded. ¡°In the future, don¡¯t hide anything from me. You have to speak truthfully. Do you understand?¡±
She nodded like a little chick. ¡°En.¡±
He was generously forgiving when it came to her. A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll let Zhang Yuanzhi transfer the money from the Fang family into your ount.¡±
¡°No, no...¡± She quickly waved her hand.
His expression immediately turned stern and his gaze was unhappy. ¡°You still dare to refuse me!¡±
She whispered silently in her heart: I want to grow up independently.
However, she did not say it out loud.
This was because she understood that Bai Qinghao did not need her to earn a single cent for him. He did not mind if she did not have any capabilities. He was willing to protect her for the rest of her life.
But it was precisely because he loved with all his heart, that she was willing to hide in his arms and be sheltered for the rest of her life.
However, she also wanted to rely on her own abilities to be someone who was trulypatible with him!
¡°I don¡¯t really need money at the moment.¡± Fang Xinxin deliberated over it and changed her exnation.
¡°How about this, you can hold onto the money for me temporarily. Take it as I¡¯ve bought the shares from one of thepanies under you. When I actually need money, I¡¯ll look for you.¡±
Bai Qinghao epted her exnation. ¡°Alright.¡±
Li Bingpan, who had been standing by the side for a long time, bowed his head. ¡°Boss, I have something to report.¡±
He nced at Fang Xinxin. It seemed like it wasn¡¯t convenient for him to speak with her around.
Fang Xinxin wanted to leave, but Bai Qinghao held onto her waist. He had no intentions of letting her go. ¡°Speak.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Since he had said so, Li Bingpan started speaking. ¡°It¡¯s rted to the Second Lady Fang¡¯s matterst night. You arranged for me to sleep in her bedroom. Afterwards, she dide into the room.¡±
¡°She slept with you?¡±
Chapter 153: Time Bomb
Chapter 153: Time Bomb
¡°No.¡± Li Bingpan shook his head and respectfully handed over a cheque. ¡°This is the fifteen thousand dors she used to make me stay silent. In truth, there was no need for her to do so. Although she came to the roomst night, she left right after retrieving her things. She said she cared too much for you and was worried you would misunderstand that something urred between the two of us. She insisted that I take the money from her. I don¡¯t dare to hide this from you, so I¡¯m reporting this to you now. Earlier, you were in the room with Miss Fang and it wasn¡¯t convenient for me to interrupt. Hence, I am bringing this up now.¡±
Fang Xinxin sat on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp as she listened to Li Bingpan¡¯s report. He waspletely going along with Fang Manxue¡¯s instructions.
He hid the fact that Fang Manxue had climbed into his bed...
It seemed that just like in their previous life, Li Bingpan had been bought over by Fang Manxue this time around.
There was now an additional time bomb ticking away.
Bai Qinghao nced at the cheque Li Bingpan was holding. He did not take it from him. ¡°Since she gave it to you, you can keep it.¡±
¡°Boss, this...¡± Li Bingpan¡¯s expression was frightened. ¡°This subordinate does not dare!¡±
¡°I asked you to keep it. There¡¯s no need to refuse.¡±
¡°...Yes, sir.¡± Li Bingpan apprehensively kept the cheque away.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand. All the bodyguards immediately understood his meaning and left the room.
Only the both of them were left in the living room.
Fang Xinxin nced at Li Bingpan¡¯s receding back. She asked him in concern. ¡°Bai Qinghao, do you believe in Li Bingpan¡¯s words?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter one way or another.¡± Bai Qinghao did not care if Fang Manxue had climbed into Li Bingpan¡¯s bed or not.
Last night¡¯s video was lost and Fang Xinxin had no evidence to show.
The trust between Bai Qinghao and her was only recently established. It was a still very weak connect.
At the moment, Li Bingpan had yet to do anything that was actually out of line. There was more to lose than gain by getting rid of him right now.
Thus, she only said, ¡°Li Bingpan cannot be trusted. You have to watch out for him.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gazended on her face. ¡°You seem to know something?¡±
She pressed her small face against his firm chest. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to be hurt.¡±
His frozen heart melted a little. The warm emotions slowly spread throughout his body. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I hope that you¡¯re being sincere.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao, if my feelings for you are false, you can go ahead and... kill me.¡±
His body stiffened. His expression melted as he rubbed the back of her head dotingly. ¡°Alright.¡±
He responded affirmatively to warn her. He didn¡¯t want her reverting back to the way she was before.
However, his lips curved up into a bitter smile. She upied so much of his heart. He dearly wished to dote on her and spoil her at every moment. How could he possibly hurt her?
Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai returned after signing the contract to see that Fang Xinxin was casually seated on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp.
Their expressions changed at the same time.
The head ountant, Zhang Yuanzhi, stepped forward to report. ¡°CEO, all the procedures have beenpleted. The amount the Fang family owes has been transferred back to the Sheng Shi Group. It includes Ms. Fang Ln¡¯s private properties, cars and stocks. They have been transferred to the Sheng Shi Group as mortgages. I have already obtained the signed documents from Ms. Fang Ln and will directly visit the various departments to proceed. The contract for the remaining one hundred million dors has also been signed. For the next three months, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai will only be able to eat ten different types of food.¡±
Chapter 154: A Family Of Three
Chapter 154: A Family Of Three
¡°Your efficiency isn¡¯t bad.¡±
¡°Thank you for thepliment, CEO. If there are no other matters, I will take my leave now.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Zhang Yuanzhi bowed to Bai Qinghao and turned to leave.
Fang Manxue looked on maliciously as Fang Xinxin satfortably on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was ridiculously gentle while he watched the ugly wench.
In this short amount of time, Fang Manxue had been overwhelmed by jealousy countless times.
Her envious rage nearly drowned her.
Fang Ln noticed her angered and twisted expression. She reached out to straighten her clothes and whispered softly. ¡°Watch your image.¡±
Fang Manxue tried her best to put on a quiet and content expression.
Bai Qinghao caressed Fang Xinxin¡¯s long hair with hisrge palm dotingly. He lowered his head to watch the way she was snuggling in his arms.
¡°I have to go for a meeting now.¡± His cold and heavy voice could not conceal his reluctance to part.
¡°That¡¯s fine. Go ahead and carry on with your work.¡± Fang Xinxin rushed to stand up from his embrace. He was a busy man. She was already deeply moved by the amount of time he had given her.
Bai Qinghao lifted his wrist to check the time. His meeting was starting soon. If he left right now and drove quickly, he would still make it. ¡°I¡¯lle by again when I¡¯m free.¡±
After saying this, his suit-d, broad and tall figure turned around to head out of the living room. The bodyguards guarding outside the door followed after him.
Fang Ln rushed to shout at his back. ¡°CEO Bai, be rest assured. I will take good care of Xinxin!¡±
She turned back and addressed Fang Xinxin. ¡°My daughter, your mom was in the wrong. I will willingly eat the food that you previously ate, for three months to punish myself.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang xinxin was unmoved. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because you owe Bai Qinghao a hundred million dors, would you have still punished yourself?¡±
¡°In any case, I have admitted my wrong.¡± Fang Ln said.
¡°As my daughter, you can¡¯t hold this grudge against me. Be good, Xinxin. Mom will take you out to buy clothes now...¡±
¡°You don¡¯t even have enough money to repay your debts. How will you find the money to buy me clothes?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brow.
¡°I have a lot of jewelry. If I sell it, I¡¯ll be able to buy you clothes.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Xinxin rejected her offer without any hesitation.
Long Shuhai immediately chipped in. ¡°Xinxin ah, it¡¯s true that there¡¯s no need for your mother to sell her jewelry to buy you clothes. Your second uncle is the general manager at Fang Group. My pay isn¡¯t bad. I have some money. I will take you shopping.¡±
Originally, Fang Xinxin was uninterested in the offer.
She nced at Fang Manxue.
From what she recalled, when their second uncle first came to this family three years ago, he appeared to treat her and Fang Manxue equally. However, things changed quickly.
On the surface, her second uncle, Long Shuhai, treated her well. However, his words never aligned with his actions and he had never spent a single cent on her.
However, his treatment towards Fang Manxue waspletely opposite. Whenever he received his pay, he would take her out to shop and eat.
Whenever there were jewelry and clothes that Fang Manxue liked, he would buy them all.
Furthermore, with his position at the Fang Group, he also received bonuses every so often. Those bonuses were not a small sum.
She once saw Long Shuhai giving Fang Manxue a check for three hundred thousand dors.
Of course, she had identally caught sight of this.
She used to think that her second uncle was fond of her second sister because of her beautiful appearance.
But now...
Perhaps, it was not that Long Shuhai was fond of Fang Manxue.
But that... he held fatherly love for her.
Her icy cold gaze shifted from Long Shuhai to Fang Manxue before finallynding on Fang Ln.
Chapter 155: Driving Is Dangerous
Chapter 155: Driving Is Dangerous
The more she looked at these three, the more she felt that they appeared like a family!
Fang Ln¡¯s goosebumps started rising from her stare. ¡°Xinxin, why are you looking at your mom like this...¡±
Could it be that the wench had discovered something?
¡°Nothing.¡± Fang Xinxin responded coldly. ¡°The three of you conspired to wrong me. I can¡¯t help but feel my heart turning cold.¡±
Fang Manxue held her elbow warmly as though she was a loving, elder sister. ¡°Third sister, your second sister admits that she was wrong. We are blood-rted sisters. You can¡¯t be angry at me, alright?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Long Shuhai chimed in sentimentally. ¡°We¡¯re a family. How can there be any resentment between family members? Let¡¯s go. Manxue,e along. I¡¯ll buy new clothes for both Xinxin and you.¡±
¡°Thank you, Second Uncle.¡± Fang Manxue responded sweetly.
She pulled Fang Xinxin along to head out of the door.
It had been three years since Long Shuhai came to the Fang family. Fang Xinxin wanted to see how generous he would be to her today. Thus, she followed them.
¡°You guys go ahead. I¡¯m returning to thepany. Now that Bai Qinghao is unwilling to support us, the Fang Group will have to rely on itself.¡± Fang Ln appeared to have aged by five years. ¡°Xinxin ah, thepany is your father¡¯s blood, sweat and tears. We have to keep it going. In the future, I won¡¯t think about relying on the Bai family anymore. I will work hard on my own.¡±
Fang Xinxin, the dumb wench, had a stubborn personality. Hard tactics won¡¯t work on her.
Hence, they would use soft maneuvers.
Although the Fang family had lost more than a billion dors in a blink of an eye, thisrge sum of money was lost because of a few words from Bai Qinghao.
Seeing the way Bai Qinghao doted on Fang Xinxin, as long as they targeted the wench, their money would eventually return!
A hint of mocking appeared in Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze. Did Fang Ln think she would continue to be fooled?
If this had been in their past life, the method may have still worked.
But in this life, Fang Xinxin would remain unmoved by all kinds of methods that these shameless people may employ.
...
Fang Manxue brought Fang Xinxin to the Audi sedan parked in the vi¡¯s front yard and unlocked her car with the keys. ¡°Third sister, let¡¯s sit in the back together.¡±
Long Shuhai took the driver¡¯s seat and drove the car out of the vi.
¡°Second sister, this is my first time sitting in Second uncle¡¯s car.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at the key in her hands. ¡°But you even have the spare key for this car. The two of you sure are close.¡±
Long Shuhai nced at Fang Xinxin dotingly through the rearview mirror. ¡°Xinxin, you child. Both Manxue and you are my dear ones. I don¡¯t have my own family nor do I have any other rtives. If not the two of you, who else would I be close to? Manxue has the spare key for my car because she asked me for it. If you asked me for it, I would also give it to you.¡±
Fang Manxue spoke up sweetly as well. ¡°Third sister, what¡¯s the point in you having the spare key? You don¡¯t know how to drive. I need it because I go out and y once in a while. It¡¯s boring to drive my own car all the time so I borrowed Second uncle¡¯s car.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°This is the way things work in the Fang family. Second sister has everything. Even the car she owns is a Ferrari, worth more than six hundred thousand dors. But I don¡¯t even own a car license.¡±
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Fang Manxue¡¯s face. But she quickly recovered. ¡°Third sister, it¡¯s very dangerous to drive. It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t learn. In the future, if you have any needs, you can ask me to drive you.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin asked casually, ¡°If it¡¯s dangerous, why did you learn to drive?¡±
¡°I¡¯m brave, ah.¡± Fang Manxue came up with a nonsense reason. ¡°Besides, I only came to realise how dangerous it is after learning.¡±
Who could she possibly fool? Fang Xinxin was toozy to continue arguing with her.
Long Shuhai parked the car outside thergest, and most famous department store in the city, Guang Tai Building. He then turned off the car ignition.
Chapter 156: They Can’t Find Her Size (Part 1)
Chapter 156: They Can¡¯t Find Her Size (Part 1)
Fang Manxue alighted the car with Fang Xinxin. She stared at the Guang Tai Building with a look of astonishment. ¡°Second uncle, are you sure you want to bring us to shop here? The clothes here are all of international, luxury brands. Every piece is extremely expensive!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Go ahead and buy everything you like today.¡± Long Shuhai alighted the car with them. He patted his chest generously. ¡°Your second uncle will pay the bill!¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, second uncle sure treats you well. Thanks to you, I¡¯ll finally be able to shop here.¡± Fang Manxue put on an envious expression on her face.
Fang Xinxin was in awe of the show being put out by these two idiots.
In the past, she had already seen Long Shuhai bringing her Fang Manxue here to shop. At the time, she had really been envious of her second sister.
The three of them entered Guang Tai Building.
The right side of the departmental store sold various types of jewelry, gold and expensive watches, while the left side sold fashion items from various international brands.
Fang Manxue was worried that Fang Xinxin would look to buy jewelry. Those were extremely expensive. So, she urged her to move towards the left side of the store.
They walked past several branded stores. Fang Xinxin wanted to enter them but Fang Manxue continued pulling her forward. ¡°I¡¯ve visited those stores before. The clothes in there are not only ridiculously expensive, they are also outdated and ugly. Come, I¡¯ll take you to a really nice store ahead for a look.¡±
¡°Is that so.¡± She even had the guts toe up with such a lie.
How outdated could the clothes from international brands be?
They were at the forefront of fashion.
But Fang Xinxin followed along. She wanted to see exactly how much Long Shuhai was willing to spend on her.
Fang Manxue appeared to ¡®casually¡¯ take her into a branded shop named, ¡®SO Cool¡¯. ¡°The clothes here are beautiful. Third sister, if you wear them, you¡¯ll definitely look amazing!¡±
Long Shuhai offered generously. ¡°Manxue, Xinxin, go ahead and pick whatever you like! Your second uncle will pay for it!¡±
¡°Wee!¡± An employee approached. ¡°May I know what kind of clothes the twodies are looking for?¡±
As the shop did not sell men¡¯s clothing, she did not address Long Shuhai.
Long Shuhai said with a smile, ¡°Bring your most expensive clothes here. I¡¯m buying them for my third niece.¡±
¡°Please wait a moment.¡± The employee picked up a set of top and bottoms from the clothing rack. ¡°This set is the newest in-store. The price is also the most expensive. The starting price is 280,000 dors.¡±
Fang Manxue was astonished. ¡°That¡¯s so expensive. It¡¯s almost enough to buy a new car.¡±
¡°So be it. As long as my third niece likes it, it¡¯s no problem no matter how expensive it is.¡± Long Shuhai picked up a dress and handed it to Xinxin generously. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Quickly go try it on and see if it looks good.¡±
¡°You¡¯re buying it for her?¡± The employee nced at Fang Xinxin and found that she was both fat and ugly. Her face was also covered in e.
Originally, she wanted to look down on her. However, the casual wear and shoes she was wearing, belonged to a luxury brand that was even more expensive than the clothes sold in this shop. Thus, she did not reveal the disdain in her eyes.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes had been bought by Bai Qinghao. They were naturally expensive.
Back at the Yu Ting Vi, she still had a whole closet full of clothes waiting for her.
¡°My apologies.¡± The employee responded awkwardly as she pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Thisdy¡¯s figure... I mean, her size is slightly big. She won¡¯t be able to wear any of these.¡±
Long Shuhai shrugged affably. ¡°Then change it to a bigger size.¡±
¡°She still won¡¯t be able to fit into them.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t bring it out, how will we know if she won¡¯t fit?¡± Long Shuhai asked the salesperson.
¡°All right then.¡± The employee carefully kept the clothes away and brought out a set with thergest size avable. She held it up in front of Fang Xinxin. ¡°Sir, as you can see, this... Thisdy doesn¡¯t have to try it on to know that it won¡¯t fit her.¡±
Chapter 157: They Can’t Find Her Size (Part 2)
Chapter 157: They Can¡¯t Find Her Size (Part 2)
¡°If she doesn¡¯t try it on, how will we know if it won¡¯t fit her?¡± Long Shuhai intentionally put on a displeased expression.
The employee responded hurriedly. ¡°If she ruins the clothes by forcing herself into it, you will have topensate us for the damages!¡±
¡°How can you speak like that?¡± Fang Manxue pretended to get indignant on Fang Xinxin¡¯s behalf. ¡°My third sister is only slightly overweight. How could she possibly ruin your clothes?¡±
Fang Xinxin took the outfit that the employee was holding and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s definitely too small.¡±
¡°Look. Thisdy also agrees.¡± The employee began making rmendations to Fang Manxue. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try it on? You¡¯ll definitely fit in it.¡±
¡°No, I don¡¯t like this.¡± Fang Manxue did not enjoy wearing these sort of over-hyped clothes. Even if she did, she would not buy something so expensive in front of Fang Xinxin.
¡°Bring me something that will fit my third niece then.¡± Long Shuhai pointed at Fang Xinxin.
¡°My apologies, Sir.¡± The employee spread her hands out to exin. ¡°All the clothes in this store are rtively small. Thergest size we offer is XXL. Our store targets petite women. Your third niece is really too fat. She will at least have to wear a size XXXXL, won¡¯t she? Our shop does not offer anything in that size.¡±
¡°In that case, we can only visit a different shop.¡± Long Shuhai put on a regretful expression and turned to look at Fang Xinxin apologetically. ¡°Xinxin ah, Second uncle really wanted to buy this set of clothes worth more than two hundred thousand dors for you. But there¡¯s nothing I can do if you can¡¯t fit in it.¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips and did not respond.
Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai then took her to visit several other luxury branded fashion stores. Each time they entered, Long Shuhai would generously ask Fang Xinxin to pick and choose whatever she liked!
In the end, it turned out that all the clothes offered at those shops were targeted at petite women who wore size between S to M. The shops either did not have anything in her size or they were out of stock for therger sizes.
If Fang Xinxin still did not understand their scheme, she would truly be a fool.
Fang Manxue often shopped here and was fully aware of the discounts each shop offered and the types of clothes they sold.
She was intentionally picking the stores that appeared to be extremely costly but did not offer anything that Fang Xinxin could wear.
Long Shuhai was putting on a generous expression but at the end of the day, he was unwilling to spend even a single cent on her.
After making a full round through the ce, Fang Xinxin did not buy a single item, while Fang Manxue had already bought more than four sets of clothes worth several hundred thousand dors. Long Shuhai was holding the shopping bags for her dotingly.
As usual, Long Shuhai was willing to part with his money for Fang Manxue.
Fang Manxue sighed. ¡°Xinxin, it seems like there aren¡¯t any clothes for you here. How about we visit a second rate wholesale market...¡±
¡°The clothes sold there are all cheap goods.¡± Fang Xinxin raised herbrows. ¡°I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. You want me to put on a pile of rubbish on my body?¡±
Long Shuhai immediately said, ¡°How could we possibly do that? Xinxin, unfortunately you¡¯re really overweight. Since there¡¯s nothing that can fit you, Second uncle will find a famous designer to make a few sets of clothing for you.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Will your Second uncle lie to you?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to go through all that trouble.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed at a famous French brand. The shop name was written in english and on the bottom, the words ¡®stylishly curvy¡¯ was written.
¡°This shop is clearly targeted at plus-sized women. I will definitely be able to wear the clothes there.¡±
After saying this, Fang Xinxin did not give the two an opportunity to respond. She immediately headed for the shop.
¡°Ah...¡± Fang Manxue stomped her feet and gritted her teeth. ¡°I was trying to avoid this French brand. After taking so many turns, how did Fang Xinxin still end up here? The clothes in there are ridiculously expensive...¡±
Chapter 158: Poor Quality Clothes
Chapter 158: Poor Quality Clothes
¡°Find ways to stop her from buying anything there.¡± Long Shuhai whispered to Fang Manxue.
The two of them followed Fang Xinxin into the store.
The employees greeted the three of them warmly. ¡°Wee!¡±
A youngdy passionately began introducing the clothes to Fang Xixin. ¡°Miss, our clothes are targeted at curvy women and will entuate your beauty. I guarantee that our clothes will fit youfortably and beautifully. Take a look at this piece.¡±
She brought out a dress from the disy rack. ¡°The flowers on this dress were embroidered with gold threads. You¡¯ll definitely look good in it. The size will also fit you well. And it only costs sixty thousand dors.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin responded with a shrug. ¡°That¡¯s so cheap. Show me your most expensive pieces!¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression became awkward. ¡°Xinxin, sixty thousand dors isn¡¯t cheap,¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to him in surprise. ¡°Second uncle, earlier, when we visited all those stores, didn¡¯t you pat your chest and insist that you would buy me the most expensive one dresses? All the clothes at those stores were more than a hundred thousand dors, but you said that it was not a big deal.¡±
That was because he knew she wouldn¡¯t fit in those clothes. Long Shuhai smiled awkwardly. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s not a big deal...¡±
¡°Did you hear that? My second uncle says that even if it costs more than a hundred thousand dors, it¡¯s still inconsequential to him.¡± Fang Xinxin instructed the employee. ¡°Bring that one out.¡±
The employee hesitated for a moment before bringing over a light blue midi dress. ¡°This piece is called the ¡®Ocean¡¯s Love¡¯. It¡¯s the most famous piece offered in this store. Both the cor and sides are decorated with swarovskis. Evenrger size women will appear to have thin waists when they put this on. It will also conceal your thighs if they are on the plumper side... Please be careful when you try it on. It¡¯s quite costly. Please don¡¯t damage it...¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed at several other pieces one after another. ¡°This piece, this piece, and that one... I don¡¯t need to try anything on. Wrap up all of them for me. My second uncle will settle the bill.¡±
The employee was dumbstruck for a moment. It turned out that she had met with an extremely generous spender. She smiled radiantly. ¡°Please wait a moment. I will pack these up right away!¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression darkened listening to their exchange. ¡°Xinxin, you didn¡¯t even try the clothes on. What if they don¡¯t fit...¡±
Fang Xinxin did not respond directly and instead, told the employee. ¡°Make sure they are all in the size XXXL. Do you have the size in stock?¡±
¡°We do.¡±
¡°Second uncle, I¡¯ve lost some weight. There¡¯s no need for me to wear XXXXL or XXXXXL. XXXL is perfect for me.¡± Fang Xinxin told him with an innocent expression. ¡°There¡¯s really no need for you to worry about it fitting me.¡±
Long Shuhai didn¡¯t care whether the clothes would fit her or not. He was worried about the loss his wallet would have to suffer.
Thedy at the cashier quickly registered their items. She then approached the three of them. ¡°Sir, Miss, may I know who is paying for the items? The total cost is 3,23,000 dors.¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed at Long Shuhai. ¡°Him. My second uncle said he will buy all these expensive clothes for me.¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression had turned green but he did not reach for his wallet.
¡°Sir, are you paying by cash or card?¡± The employee urged him.
She was worried that he would change his mind.
¡°Xinxin, the clothes you chose are too ugly. If you wear them out, you¡¯ll beughed at!¡± Fang Manxue forcefully dragged Fang Xinxin out of the ce. She called out to the employee. ¡°My apologies. We won¡¯t take any of your clothes!¡±
How could this fat wench possibly wear such expensive clothes?
¡°The clothes aren¡¯t ugly at all...¡± Fang Xinxin told her.
But she wasn¡¯t given a chance toplete her words. Long Shuhai also quickly headed out, behind the two of them. ¡°The quality of these clothes is too poor. Let¡¯s go, Xinxin. Your second uncle will take you to buy better and more expensive clothes.¡±
¡°You...¡± The employee was angered.
¡°Are you messing with us? We only offer high quality clothes here! I bet you came here intentionally to cause trouble!¡±
¡°My apologies.¡± Long Shuhai gave her a contrite smile.
Chapter 159: Sucking Second Uncle’s Blood Dry (Part 1)
Chapter 159: Sucking Second Uncle¡¯s Blood Dry (Part 1)
The employee did not follow them out.
Outside the shop, Fang Xinxin red at Long Shuhai. ¡°Second uncle, where is your generosity? Do you only have empty promises to offer?¡±
¡°Xinxin, ah! Second uncle is doing this for your own good. The ugly clothes from that shop don¡¯t suit you.¡± Long Shuhai brazened it out. ¡°Second uncle will find better ones for you.¡±
He then brought his phone out to make a call. ¡°Hello, is this Designer Zheng? It¡¯s an honour to finally speak to you. You¡¯re a famous, international designer after all. I hope to make a few custom-made pieces of clothing for my third niece. What? You have all the sizes in stock currently? In that case, I would like some women¡¯s wear in the size XXXL. Please help me select a few premium pieces. I will visit your shop to pick them up right now.¡±
After ending the call, Long Shuhai said, ¡°Xinxin, you heard it as well. I¡¯ve made an appointment with Designer Zheng. The clothes personally designed by him are currently waiting in his shop for us to choose from.¡±
¡°Designer Zheng? That¡¯s a famous designer!¡± Fang Manxue chimed in by the side. ¡°His clothes are definitely much better than what we saw earlier. They are beautiful and are known for their amazing quality!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Xinxin responded in a nomittal tone.
Long Shuhai continued speaking with some regret. ¡°We wasted so much time but didn¡¯t manage to buy anything suitable for Xinxin. Come on. Let¡¯s go look for Designer Zheng¡¯s store.¡±
Long Shuhai led Fang Manxue and Fang Xinxin to a corridor and turned around the corner to enter an italian branded store.
Fang Xinxin was familiar with this brand. It was extremely expensive.
The moment they entered the store, Long Shuhai said, ¡°Hello. My surname is Long. I¡¯m looking for an employee by the surname of Wang. I made an arrangement with Designer Zheng and he has selected a few sets of premium women¡¯s wear for me. Where are the clothes?¡±
The employee politely handed a few fancy shopping bags to Long Shuhai. ¡°Mr. Long, here are the clothes you requested for.¡±
Fang Xinxin took the shopping bags before he could receive them. ¡°I¡¯ll hold onto them.¡± She counted the sets of clothes inside. ¡°Second uncle, there are five sets of premium outfits in here.¡±
Long Shuhai smiled and approached the counter with his card. ¡°I would like to settle the bill.¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to the other employee and said something. The employee¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately approached the counter.
In their previous life, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue had also brought her here on this day.
They had intentionally chosen the expensive stores and generously insisted they would buy her this and that...
At the time, she did not dare to enter those stores.
Furthermore, her heart had ached for her Second uncle and didn¡¯t want him to splurge on her. Thus, whenever the two of them said something did not look good, she would put it down.
Afterward, her second uncle took her to this store to pick a few ¡®premium women¡¯s wear.¡¯ Even then, he had imed that these were personally made by the famous, international designer, Zheng.
He had brought her to such an expensive, branded store and purchased five sets of outfits for her.
Initially, she was deeply moved and had assumed that her second uncle spent thousands of dors on her.
Muchter, she heard Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai mocking her behind her back. Apparently, the so-called Designer Fang was a scam they hade up with.
The five sets of clothes were imitations of the actual branded goods and summed up to only a hundred dors.
Long Shuhai had simply spent two hundred dors to bribe one of the employees of the store, Mr. Wang. He had left the shopping bags here earlier and intentionally led her into the shop to ¡®pick up the premium outfits¡¯. This way, she would misunderstand that the clothes were expensive. Even the prices on the tags were fake.
Who would have thought that he would be able to pull such a scheme in a famous, italian branded store?
After experiencing this in her past life, Fang Xinxin would not let go of this opportunity and properly suck her uncle¡¯s blood dry.
Chapter 160: Sucking Second Uncle’s Blood Dry (Part 2)
Chapter 160: Sucking Second Uncle¡¯s Blood Dry (Part 2)
She recalled that Long Shuhai had just received his bonus from the Fang Group and should have more than three hundred thousand dors in his card.
She had gotten to know about this in her past life as well.
Now, her knowledge of what she previously learned had be a weapon she could rely on.
Fang Xinxin watched the employee she had just spoken to, approach the cashier to whisper into her ear. The cashier seemed to be astonished.
Fang Xinxin immediately walked upto the counter to divert Long Shuhai¡¯s attention. ¡°Second uncle, are you sure you¡¯re buying five sets of premium outfits? It seems like a bit much. The clothes here must be very expensive.¡±
Long Shuhai assumed that the dumb wench was referring to the imitation goods which worth slightly more than a hundred dors. She was likely the only person who was fooled this easily.
He thumped his chest and responded generously. ¡°It¡¯s not too much. Even if it¡¯s expensive, you are worth it!¡±
The cashier employee swiped Long Shuhai¡¯s card and spoke up respectfully. ¡°Sir, please key in your pin number.¡±
Long Shuhai did so without any hesitation.
When the receipt was printed out from the machine, he was worried that Fang Xinxin would notice the amount written on it. Hence, he intentionally kept a conversation going between them and folded the receipt discreetly. He then quickly signed his name under the nk space.
Fang Xinxin naturally understood his intentions. However, his hypocritical actions would onlye back to bite himter. ¡°Second uncle, you¡¯re so generous.¡±
¡°You¡¯re my beloved niece ah, how could I not be generous? I¡¯ve always doted on you the most.¡± Although Long Shuhai said so, in his heart, he mocked Fang Xinxin for being an idiot. He had only yed a small trick and she actually believed the clothes were made by a luxury, italian brand.
Fang Xinxin asked him coyly. ¡°Then, do you dote on my second sister as well?¡±
¡°I do. I love both of you very much.¡± Long Shuhai nced at Fang Manxue, who was being led by a different employee to look at the clothes, with genuine love in his eyes.
¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you buy five ¡®more¡¯ premium outfits, but this time for Fang Manxue?¡±
Long Shuhai was unwilling to part with even a single cent for Fang Xinxin. However, when it came to Fang Manxue, he had no issues. He did not pay attention to the word ¡®more.¡¯ ¡°If anything has caught your second sister¡¯s eye, she can directly use my card.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Let me give the five outfits I bought earlier to her. Else, it would be too much for you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to give them to her... She¡¯ll buy her own clothes separately.¡± Long Shuhai waved his hand generously.
Those clothes were a pile of rubbish worth a hundred dors. How could they possibly suit Manxue?
Manxue was set to be the Commander¡¯s wife. She needed to wear the best. ¡°Besides, your size is toorge. Those clothes would not be suitable for her.¡±
¡°I¡¯m referring to the clothes we just bought. These won¡¯t fit me.¡± Fang Xinxin corrected him.
Long Shuhai was confused.
The employee returned his card to him along with a receipt. ¡°Sir, here is your card and receipt. Please keep them well.¡±
Long Shuhai found his actions to be strange. He had left the clothes here temporarily and made a show of bringing Fang Xinxin over so she would assume that they were bought from this store. He had already given Miss Wang two hundred dors for the matter. Why would there be any receipts?
After keeping the card away, Long Shuhai carelessly scanned the receipt. Right at that moment, his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. ¡°Three... three hundred thousand dors!¡±
¡°Yes, sir. The premium outfits you bought earlier sum up to three hundred and eighty thousand dors.¡± The employee smiled as she exined. ¡°I¡¯ve given you a discount and only charged you three hundred thousand dors.¡±
¡°What!¡± Long Shuhai turned pale from shock. ¡°Have you made a mistake? I didn¡¯t buy any premium outfits. I didn¡¯t even look at the clothes from your store. How could I have spent so much money?¡±
¡°Thisdy here chose the clothes.¡± The employee gestured toward Fang Xinxin.
¡°Don¡¯t you remember? Before paying, she even asked if you were sure that you wanted these five sets of premium outfits. She even reminded you that the clothes here are expensive. You were the one who said that she was worth it.¡±
Chapter 161: Sucking Second Uncle’s Blood Dry (Part 3)
Chapter 161: Sucking Second Uncle¡¯s Blood Dry (Part 3)
He had assumed that Fang Xinxin was referring to the goods which he initially coborated with Miss Wang to be kept here!
Long Shuhai pointed at the bags in Fang Xinxin¡¯s hands in anger. ¡°I thought it was those five premium outfits.¡±
The employees in the store became unhappy. The manager spoke up. ¡°Sir, your niece clearly asked if you were buying five sets of premium outfits from our store. The bags that she is holding don¡¯t even belong to our store.¡±
Fang Xinxin also chimed in at this point. ¡°That¡¯s right, second uncle. I was referring to this Italian brand¡¯s premium outfits.¡±
She brought out the items, piece by piece, from the paper bags she was holding and waved them in the air. ¡°These five outfits from my bags are clearly low-quality imitation goods from a second-rate market. How could they possibly be branded outfits?¡±
Long Shuhai immediately understood the situation. The dumb wench had already noticed that the clothes wee imitation goods but pretended to y along. Fang Xinxin had intentionally fooled him into buying the expensive, premium outfits!
¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you do this to your family?¡± He reprimanded her in anger. ¡°Do you know how much is three hundred thousand dors? You spent that on five sets on clothes? How could you do that?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Fang Xinxin asked him innocently. ¡°Didn¡¯t you disy your generosity in every shop we visited? You even said that the clothes worth more than a hundred thousand dors were also not expensive, and that I could buy as much as I wanted to, didn¡¯t you?¡±
He was trying to be morally superior after taking part in a slimy act again. Did he think it would be so easy to fool her again?
¡°I...¡±
Obviously, Long Shuhai had beenpletely insincere when he said he would buy those expensive clothes for her. He had only said those empty words to trick her. ¡°In any case, we don¡¯t want these three hundred thousand dors clothes! Give me a refund, a refund!¡±
The store manager became upset by his words. ¡°My apologies, Sir. In our store, unless there is any problem with the clothes, we don¡¯t allow refunds.¡±
Long Shuhai red at Fang Xinxin angrily and told the store manager. ¡°I already said that I didn¡¯t want to buy the clothes from your store. I was fooled by her!¡±
¡°But she didn¡¯t try to fool you at all.¡± The manager responded earnestly. ¡°Sir, she asked you if you were sure prior to payment.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°Second uncle, you agreed to it on your own.¡±
Fang Manxue, who was being apanied by another employee to look at some clothes, noticed themotion by the cashier and rushed over. ¡°What happened?¡±
The store manager summarised the events for her.
Fang Manxue realised that her second uncle had fallen for Fang Xinxin¡¯s tricks and lost three hundred thousand dors. She asked him gloomily. ¡°Second uncle, why didn¡¯t you check the bill before paying it!¡±
Long Shuhai had nowhere to vent his anger. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because Fang Xinxin misled me?¡±
Fang Xinxin pretended to be innocent. ¡°When did I mislead you? You were the one who said you wanted to foot the bill. I confirmed with you again and again. Why didn¡¯t you say anything then? If you didn¡¯t want to pay for those clothes, what did youe to the counter for?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The store manager chimed in. ¡°This fat...dy is the most reasonable one here.¡±
Long Shuhai nearly vomited out blood from anger. Now that things had ended up this way, he had no choice but to ept it. ¡°I came here to pay two hundred dors...¡±
He pointed at the employee with the surname Wang. ¡°I agreed with her beforehand that I would leave my counterfeit goods... here. They were kept in a different store¡¯s shopping bag. I was going to pay her two hundred dors for the trouble.¡±
The store manager and the rest of the employees immediately understood what was going on.
However, the money had already entered their pockets. Three hundred thousand dors was a significant sale that they rarely, sessfully made. How could they possibly spit it out?
The employee spoke, ¡°If you bought your clothes in a different store and only left them here to be stored temporarily, why would we charge you any fees? My employee hasn¡¯t epted your two hundred dors.¡±
Chapter 162: Sucking Second Uncle’s Blood Dry (Part 4)
Chapter 162: Sucking Second Uncle¡¯s Blood Dry (Part 4)
The store manager gave Miss Wang a speaking look. The employee immediately understood and spoke up. ¡°Sir, you requested for me to hold onto your shopping bags from elsewhere, and I did so. I have already handed these clothes to your third niece. However, I did this only out of good will. You had offered to pay me two hundred dors for the trouble. But if you really tried to pay me, I would have refused to ept it.¡±
If he had not spent three hundred thousand dors, she would have epted the two hundred dors.
However, the situation now was different. After he made the purchase, their store¡¯s sales had improved by five percent. Themission from that purchase alone would earn them around fifteen thousand dors.
Looking at the situation, everyone would likely enjoy thatmission together.
Now that they had sessfully sold the goods, their boss would not only give them a share of themission. He would also give them a significant amount of bonus.
Who would still want his two hundred dors?
Long Shuhai red at the employee in anger. ¡°You...¡±
It seemed like this woman would not provide testimony to prove that he was fooled into spending the money.
Fang Xinxin pretended to be clueless as she asked. ¡°What two hundred dors?¡±
This time, Employee Wang exercised goodwill and exined. ¡°Third Lady Fang, your second uncle told me that you¡¯re materialistic and superficial. Moreover, you¡¯re stupid and easily fooled. He said that you¡¯re not entitled to wear the clothes from branded stores, and intentionally bought low-quality cheap goods from elsewhere. He brought you to our store to collect the ¡®premium¡¯ goods with the intention of fooling you into thinking that these low-quality clothes were purchased from our store. Thankfully, you are intelligent. You immediately noticed that the clothes were counterfeit and bought the genuine ones at our store. It seems that the one who is easily fooled is him and not you.¡±
Since the employee had been bribed by Long Shuhai, she naturally knew a bit about him.
Now, Fang Xinxin pretended to be angry. ¡°Second uncle, it turns out you didn¡¯t want to buy me any clothes! Won¡¯t your conscience ache from using such a vicious scheme against your own niece?¡±
Long Shuhai was exposed ruthlessly and his expression turned awkward. ¡°I...¡±
¡°You pretended to dote on me but it turns out it was all an act.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke in a disappointed tone. ¡°Thankfully, through a series of mistakes, I bought the genuine products from this store. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t I be fooled till the date I end up on my death¡¯s bed?¡±
¡°Xinxin, listen to my exnation...¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to exin?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°In your heart, I¡¯m worth nothing.¡±
Long Shuhai was flustered and angry. ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you about that right now. Quickly tell the store manager that you weren¡¯t actually trying to buy the clothes here. Ask them to refund the clothes!¡±
¡°But I was actually trying to buy the clothes.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged. ¡°Second uncle, you should act like a man. If you¡¯ve already paid for them, just move on. Stop harping on the matter again and again.¡±
The store manager also said, ¡°You bought the clothes willingly, Sir. If everyone is like you and tries to seek refund after buying the clothes, who would dare to operate these stores? Besides, even if your niece agreed with your version, it would be useless. Let me repeat this once more. Prior to the payment, she clearly indicated you were buying the premium goods from this store. She said they were from ¡®this store¡¯ and not anywhere else. She also mentioned that they were very expensive. You were the one who punched in the pin number. You were also the person who signed your name on that receipt. Even if you file awsuit against us, you wouldn¡¯t be able to refund the goods.¡±
Long Shuhai was annoyed by this reminder.
If it wasn¡¯t because he had a guilty conscience, and was fearful that Fang Xinxin would notice the amount charged, would he have folded the receipt in a hurry. Not only did he block her from seeing, he even made it such that he also missed seeing the actual amount on the receipt!
That had been the sumtotal of his savings.
After entering the Fang home for so long, the bonuses and pay he received in the past were mostly spent by Fang Manxue.
As of now, he only had twenty to thirty thousand dors left. A normal person could survive on that sum for a few years. However, he was already used to a life of luxury. His clothes were all from expensive brands. The wine he drank belonged to the premium brands. Even the restaurants he visited were the best in town...
Chapter 163: Do You Dare Refuse To Refund Bai Qinghao’s Fiancée?
Chapter 163: Do You Dare Refuse To Refund Bai Qinghao¡¯s Fianc¨¦e?
At times he also went out secretly to y with girls.
With the way he splurged, three hundred thousand dors wasn¡¯t enough for him tost him even a day.
If this had been in the past, he would have chosen to endure this loss. After all, the Fang Group had a limitless supply of money from Bai Qinghao.
However, right now, Bai Qinghao had made it clear he would never support the Fang family again. The money avable with the Fang Group was also taken away by the Sheng Shi Group.
Even Fang Ln¡¯s private properties and secret stash were lost.
To think that his pockets would suddenly be emptied like this. How was he supposed to ept this?
Fang Manxue saw that her second uncle had been tricked by Fang Xinxin and felt extremely sour. ¡°Look at the way you¡¯re refusing to give us a refund. Aren¡¯t you afraid that your shop will be forced to close down?¡±
The shop manager was suddenly rmed. ¡°Miss, what do you mean by that?¡±
¡°Since your employee addresses my third sister as the Third Lady Fang, I¡¯m sure you already know of my identity.¡± Fang Manxue proudly lifted her chin and said arrogantly, ¡°Thedy of the Fang family has been engaged to Bai Qinghao since young. Do you know Bai Qinghao? He is the CEO of the Sheng Shi Group. A powerful and influential man, and the only heir to the Bai family¡¯s wealth!¡±
She intentionally made it ambiguous as to whichdy of the Fang family was engaged to Bai Qinghao.
Everyone naturally misunderstood it to be the beautiful Fang Manxue.
¡°Bai Qinghao, the man who was rich enough to destroy countries and control the world?¡± The manager was dumbstruck. She rushed to seek forgiveness profusely. ¡°My apologies, my apologies. I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e!¡±
Fang Manxue enjoyed being worshipped in this manner. She said threateningly, ¡°As long as I inform Bai Qinghao, won¡¯t your shop disappear within a matter of seconds?¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted her eyebrow.
She was used to her second sister intentionally misleading others to assume that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
In any case, as of now, the entire city and even the entire world believed Fang Manxue to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s betrothed.
Moreover, she was feeling toozy to exin this to the employees. It would onlyplicate things.
With her current figure and appearance, others would likely assume that she had one-sided feelings for Bai Qinghao and was trying to marry him.
Who would believe that the unreachable Bai Qinghao would have such an ugly and fat fianc¨¦e?
However, her second sister¡¯s scam would eventually be exposed.
Fang Manxue saw that as usual, Fang Xinxin did not expose her lies. She felt deeply satisfied in her heart.
It seemed that as long as she softened her attitude, the fat wench would revert to her old willingness to hand Bai Qinghao over.
The shop manager was shaken by Fang Manxue¡¯s threat. She was left helpless for a moment. She turned to look at Employee Wang. ¡°Are they really Bai Qinghao¡¯s future inws?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Employee Wang nodded helplessly. ¡°Mr. Long is a privileged member from another international luxury brand that sells menswear. I used to work there and got to know him as he was a frequent shopper. But I heard something recently...¡±
She leaned close to the manager¡¯s ear to whisper something.
The shop manager immediately made a call to her boss. After receiving the response she needed, she smiled radiantly. ¡°My boss says that CEO Bai has already issued the instructions. In future, he will not take care of the Fang family. No matter who is working with the Fang family or interacting with them, there¡¯s no need to take his face into ount. To give them special privileges would instead be disrespecting CEO Bai. Thus, we will treat this matter professionally. My apologies, Mr. Long and Miss Fang. The clothes cannot be refunded.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. ¡°I¡¯m CEO Bai¡¯s...¡± fianc¨¦e!
She swallowed the word back down.
After all, she had only misled others into believing that she was the future Madam Bai. She never once directly imed to be so.
If she dared to utter such a lie and was exposed, the Bai family would definitely hunt her down. She could not take such a risk.
Chapter 164: Opinion
Chapter 164: Opinion
¡°Forget it. Manxue...¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s heavy eyes suddenly lit up with inspiration. ¡°Fang Xinxin took matters into her own hands and spent three hundred thousand dors. This sum won¡¯t be wasted!¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin secretly sent Bai Qinghao a message.
Fang Manxue was intelligent and immediately understood her second uncle¡¯s intentions. She did not continue harping on the three hundred thousand dors. After all, there was a chance they could regain double of that amount!
¡°I won¡¯t return the goods. Where are the clothes I bought? Wrap them up for me.¡± Long Shuhai directly ordered in an arrogant tone.
¡°They have already been wrapped up.¡± An employee brought five, exquisite shopping bags over.
Long Shuhai received them with some resentment. ¡°Five sets of outfits costs three hundred thousand dors. They are so expensive. Are they really of good quality?¡±
¡°Our shop only offers clothes made of the best materials. Please set your heart at ease.¡± The employee handed them the receipt.
Fang Manxue took the shopping bags with enthusiasm. ¡°Let me see. What did my third sister buy?¡± She brought out each piece to scan them. ¡°The quality and design seem to be pretty good. But... the sizes seem to be pretty small, aren¡¯t they? These are all in the size M. My third sister needs at least a size XXXL!¡±
¡°These five outfits do note in suchrge sizes.¡± The shop manager informed them with a smile.
Fang Manxue red at Fang Xinxin. ¡°What are you up to? Why did you buy the clothes in such small sizes? Can you wear them?¡±
¡°Second uncle has already bought me five sets of imitation goods worth a hundred dors.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at the shopping bags she was holding. ¡°Although they are cheap, they still represent his sincerity. My clothes have already been bought. The premium goods bought here were naturally meant for you to wear.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned poor. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how did you choose the clothes? I don¡¯t like the style. First of all, they are all sets of blouses with pants and secondly, these designs are meant for mature women. Although the quality is good, when I put them on, I¡¯ll look like an olddy!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was innocent. ¡°So what?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like the outfits you have picked!¡±
¡°I know.¡±
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger. ¡°Then why did you pick these clothes for me! You¡¯re wasting money!¡±
¡°Second sister, you¡¯re in the wrong for saying such things.¡± Fang Xinxin pretended to be heartbroken. ¡°I was willing to wear the imitation goods worth less than a hundred dors, and I still bought clothes worth three hundred thousand dors for you. How could you be angry at me...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The store manager spoke up for Fang Xinxin. ¡°She willingly gave up three hundred thousand dors for you.¡±
¡°No matter how expensive they are, I won¡¯t wear clothes that I don¡¯t like!¡± Fang Manxue raged on. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Fang Xinxin, wear them yourself!¡±
¡°They won¡¯t fit me.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged. ¡°In any case, it was our second uncle who bought them for you. If you don¡¯t like them, why don¡¯t you throw them away?¡±
Long Shuhai scolded Fang Xinxin with a stern expression. ¡°Third niece, how could you buy clothes for your second sister without asking for her opinion?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Aiyo, second uncle, didn¡¯t I learn this from you?¡±
¡°When did I teach you such things?¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s teeth ached with suppressed anger. He dearly wished he could p the ugly girl to death.
Unfortunately, in order for him and the Fang family to stand up again, they needed to rely on her. He not only had to hold back from hitting her, he also had to make her happy.
Fang Xinxin lifted the bags she was holding. ¡°Second uncle, when you bought these imitation goods for me, did you ask if I liked them? Did you let me pick them on my own? And Fang Manxue, on the few asions that you bought things for me, have you ever asked if I liked them? Since you guys never asked for my opinion, why do I have to ask for yours?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin!¡± Fang Manxue was nearly angered to death.
Chapter 165: Refund
Chapter 165: Refund
¡°Let¡¯s not create a ruckus in their store anymore.¡± Fang Xinxin ignored them and turned to leave the ce.
But Long Shuhai refused to give up. He gave a suggestion to Fang Manxue. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the store employees to help you exchange the items for something else of the same price?¡±
¡°I already said that there¡¯s nothing that I like here!¡± If they weren¡¯t out in the public, Fang Manxue would surely have lost her temper.
She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m so angry. Quickly ask Bai Qinghao to refund us twice the amount!¡±
Upon hearing her words, the employees and store manager were envious.
The store manager eximed. ¡°It¡¯s sure good to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. After spending three hundred thousand dors, you can actually gain twice the amount. CEO Bai must really like you.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Manxue lifted her chin arrogantly.
She enjoyed being praised in this way, to be envied, to be fawned over.
After leaving the store, Long Shuhai immediately made a call to the Sheng Shi Group. Fang Manxue was right next to him.
¡°Pleasee again!¡± The store manager and her employees stood in a line to bow respectfully to the two.
¡°Hmph, after I marry Bai Qinghao, it¡¯ll be a small matter for me to buy more than a hundred such stores.¡± Fang Manxue harrumph coldly. Right now, even spending a mere three hundred thousand dors caused their hearts to hurt.
Although her second uncle had paid up, his money was basically her money. There was no difference.
¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The store manager quickly nodded in agreement.
Who would dare to provoke Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e? She gave them an apologetic smile.
After turning around the corner, Long Shuhai disconnected the call and grumbled to Fang Manxue. ¡°The Sheng Shi Group¡¯s people are too arrogant. I asked them to connect me to Bai Qinghao, but they dared to say that I¡¯m someone unrted, and that I have no right to speak directly to him. In the past, whenever I needed to speak to CEO Bai, they would help me transfer the line.¡±
Fang Manxue said, ¡°Second uncle, I have Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone number. Why don¡¯t you make a call to his phone?¡±
¡°Very few people know his number.¡± Long Shuhai hesitated. ¡°What if CEO Bai bes unhappy about the call? It¡¯ll be easy for him to figure out that you were the one who gave me the number.¡±
¡°Just tell him that Fang Xinxin was the one who asked you to call him.¡±
¡°That¡¯s a good idea.¡±
Long Shuhai warily dialled Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone number. It took more than twenty seconds before the call was answered.
Before he could speak up, the other party directly asked him. ¡°What do you have to say?¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s heart skipped a beat in fright. He had a strange premonition that Bai Qinghao already knew what he was calling for.
Since the call had connected, Long Shuhai could only thicken his skin. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m Long Shuhai, Xinxin¡¯s second uncle. This afternoon, I took Xinxin and Manxue to Guang Tai Building for shopping. Xinxin is really happy. I bought her five sets of premium outfits and spent around three hundred thousand dors. Since it¡¯s for my third niece, this amount is really a small thing. I did it willingly, please don¡¯t mind it...¡±
He went on for a while but Bai Qinghao did not respond.
The more Long Shuhai said, the more his guilty conscience weighed on him. His voice gradually became softer and softer.
Considering Bai Qinghao¡¯s usual generosity, he should already have offered to return him twice, or even ten times the amount. Why wasn¡¯t he saying anything?
¡°Since you were the one who bought the rubbish, save it for yourself to wear.¡±
Bai Qinghao responded coldly and hung up the call.
Long Shuhai stared at his phone for several seconds. His expression was extremely poor. ¡°My three hundred thousand dors are gone!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao didn¡¯t offer to refund you?¡± Fang Manxue was in disbelief.
¡°He told me to keep the rubbish that I bought, for myself.¡± Long Shuhai felt like crying. ¡°He has no intentions ofpensating us. I¡¯m furious. That stupid wench, Fang Xinxin! She wasted so much of my money!¡±
Chapter 166: Father Fang In Coma
Chapter 166: Father Fang In Coma
Fang Manxue deliberated over this for a while. ¡°What did Bai Qinghao mean by that? Is three hundred thousand dors too small of a sum for him? Or did Fang Xinxinin to him about this beforehand?¡±
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it to be thetter.
The store manager and Employee Wang stood by their store entrances. They had stretched their necks out to eavesdrop on their conversation. They wanted to know if Mr. Long¡¯s three hundred thousand dors would be returned two-fold or not.
They did not manage to hear much, but they clearly caught him saying that the three hundred thousand dors was gone.
¡°What are you looking at?¡± Fang Manxue red at them fiercely. ¡°Watch out or I¡¯ll dig your eyes out!¡±
The store manager was no longer afraid of Fang Manxue. ¡°Tsk tsk. Second Lady Fang, it looks like CEO Bai won¡¯t reimburse your three hundred thousand dors. My boss told me that the Fang family are vermins, and that you¡¯ve sucked more than ten billion dors from the Sheng Shi Group already. The rumour is that CEO Bai has not only halted the financial support to the Fang Group but is actually asking the Fang Group to return the owed money. Who knows...¡±
She mocked Fang Manxue openly. ¡°CEO Bai might abandon you soon!¡±
¡°You dare to offend me!¡± Fang Manxue gritted her teeth. She had been enraged too many times already today. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that Bai Qinghao will punish you?¡±
The store manager considered her words. After all, the marriage contract between the Bai and Fang family had yet to be dissolved. Out of fear of the Bai Family, she hastily said, ¡°My apologies. I spoke wrongly earlier. I seek your understanding for this!¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Fang Manxue stomped her feet. She had lost more than enough face here. She turned to walk in the direction that Fang Xinxin had gone in.
Even after scouting the entire ce, she realised that the dumb wench was nowhere in her sight.
Fang Manxue brought out her phone to give Fang Xinxin a call. ¡°Third sister, where are you?¡±
¡°I went to the hospital to visit Dad.¡±
¡°Then, let¡¯s go home separately.¡± Fang Manxue ended the call.
Long Shuhai noticed her gloomy expression and asked her carefully. ¡°You... do you want to go visit Long Yifan?¡±
¡°That person is a useless vegetable now. What¡¯s there to look at? I¡¯m not going.¡±
Long Shuhai noticed her impatient expression and heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like there weren¡¯t many feelings between Manxue and Long Yifan.
...
In a nondescript hospital in the city centre, Fang Xinxin entered amon ward on the second floor. The moment she entered the room, she inhaled the heavy stench of urine and feces present in the air.
Fang Xinxin could not help but cover her nose instinctively.
When she noticed Long Yifan¡¯s unmoving figure on the bed, her tears gushed out.
¡°Dad!¡± She sobbed uncontrobly.
Her father¡¯s upright silhouette had curved in. His closed eyes looked sunk in, and the corner of his eyes had many wrinkles. His originally ck hair had turned stark white. Even though he was only forty years old, he seemed like a sixty years old man.
She recalled when her father first went into a vegetative state three years ago. At the time, he still appeared to be robust and young.
Why did he suddenly look so old?
She suddenly realised that it was probably because he was worried for her. Even in his unconscious state, he could not help but fret for her.
She lifted the dirty-looking sheets and noticed the stains on the bed. Her father¡¯s body was covered in yellow urine and feces. The heavy stench filled the room and was bad enough to cause someone healthy also to lose their consciousness.
What was worse was that when she tugged aside her father¡¯s clothes, she noticed that there were patches of rotten flesh on his body. Moreover, there were maggots feeding on his skin. The bed was so dirty that bugs were roaming freely on it!
Fang Xinxin opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She struggled to ept what she was seeing. Her tears dripped down endlessly.
Didn¡¯t her mother say that she had hired the best doctor and the most expensive nurses to treat and care for her father?
Why? Then why did her father be like this?
Chapter 167: Unpaid Bills
Chapter 167: Unpaid Bills
A nurse approached the entrance of the room but did not walk in. She was repulsed by the scent and said, ¡°This ce smelly to death, it¡¯s really damn bad!¡±
Before Fang Xinxin could interrogate the hospital on the way they treated their patients, the nurse raised her voice and reprimanded her. ¡°Someone has finallye to visit this patient. You must be Long Yifan¡¯s family member. Quickly pay up! This patient owes the hospital more than two months of medical fees. Our hospital isn¡¯t a charity foundation. We have been very kind to him by not tossing him onto the streets till now!¡±
¡°Hasn¡¯t the Fang Group been paying the medical bills every month?¡±
¡°What Fang Group? Why haven¡¯t I heard of this?¡± The nurse stuck a bill against the door. ¡°Look, I came to deliver a new bill again. This patient has a drawer full of unsettled invoices. Our hospital director has already ordered that this room is too smelly and there are frequentints from neighbouring wards. If Long Yifan¡¯s family members still won¡¯t clear up his debts, we will throw him out.¡±
¡°How long has it been since a family member came to visit him?¡±
¡°It¡¯s been three years. Aside from you, no one hase to see him. Uh... how are you rted to Long Yifan?¡±
The Fang family actually did note to visit him? Fang Xinxin was angered to the point of wanting to kill someone. Her blood was boiling but her heart was frozen cold. ¡°I¡¯m his daughter.¡±
¡°Then quickly pay up!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡± Fang Xinxin replied angrily. ¡°Quickly ask your nurses toe and clean up the room! Get a doctor to treat my dad!¡±
¡°Pay the bills first.¡± The nurse was worried that she would not settle the ounts.
Fang Xinxin did not say anything and immediately headed to the counter to pay. She also deposited fifty thousand dors for emergency use.
Then she checked the past payment records.
It turned out that her brother, Fang Shaohua, had paid for three years of treatment for her father, at one go, three years ago.
For the past two months, because the money ran out, they had only supplied him with oxygen and the minimum amount of nutrition that he needed to stay alive.
This hospital hired their care workers externally.
Without the money, the care workers were unwilling to look after her father. As a result, no one had paid attention to his deteriorating condition. At this moment, his body was marred with rotten flesh.
If it wasn¡¯t for the hospital sending nurses to clean him up on a few asions, his life would already have been lost.
Fang Xinxin sobbed uncontrobly.
¡°Xinxin ah, don¡¯t worry about your father. Your mom will take good care of him. We¡¯ve been married for more than twenty years. How could I possibly treat him poorly? I¡¯ll pay for all of his treatment fees! You don¡¯t have to put in any effort or money. All you have to do is to say some nice words to Bai Qinghao, so that he will give us more financial support...¡±
Her mother¡¯s words kept repeating in her head.
She had genuinely believed that her mother had been taking care of her father. To think that for the past three years, she did not even pay the fees for his treatment!
Fang Xinxin was still a student. In the past, she really did not have much money.
For the sake of her father, she often praised the Fang family in front of Bai Qinghao. This was the reason why her mother had been able to obtain more than ten million dors from Bai Qinghao.
For the past few years, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai had splurged extravagantly.
The only reason her mother could repay Bai Qinghao was because her father single-handedly operated the Fang Group for many years and brought them enough sess so that the ounts always contained arge sum of money.
As of now, the Fang Group¡¯s ounts were empty. This meant that the money they had been spending for the past few years was the hard-earned money which her father had earned.
Fang Xinxin rushed back to the ward and saw a doctor treating her father.
Chapter 168: Father-Daughter Relation
Chapter 168: Father-Daughter Rtion
She noticed the tag on his white coat which read ¡®Resident Physician: Zhang Jingting¡¯.
¡°Doctor Zhang, how is my dad?¡± Fang Xinxin asked a bit impatiently.
¡°His bedsores are serious, but they can still be treated. However, the rotten flesh on his legs needs to be removed through surgery immediately. If we don¡¯t do so, his life will be in danger!¡± Zhang Jingting, who was around forty years old, replied seriously.
Fang Xinxin panicked and responded. ¡°Will his life be saved if we go ahead with the surgery?¡±
She had just realised that, in her past life, her father died ten days from this date.
¡°If we conduct the surgery immediately, he should be fine.¡± Zhang Jingting assured her.
Fang Xinxin spoke without hesitating. ¡°In that case, please arrange for it immediately.¡±
¡°Long Yifan¡¯s body is too... dirty. We need someone to clean him up for the surgery. Otherwise, there may be a risk of infection.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin immediately took off her father¡¯s clothes and brought over a basin of water to wipe him thorough;y. ¡°Doctor, please call someone over. It will be faster if I have some help.¡±
Zhang Jingting looked troubled. ¡°His body is really dirty. Our care workers are employed externally. They may not listen to our orders. I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be willing...¡±
¡°Call one over right now. I¡¯ll pay them ten times their rate.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll immediately arrange for it.¡± Zhang Jingting knew that she had not only cleared the bills but also left fifty thousand dors as emergency funds. He was not worried that she would not be able to pay up.
He brought his phone out and made a call before informing her. ¡°A care worker wille over immediately.¡±
Zhang Jingting took in Long Yifan¡¯s dirty and smelly figure. He could not help but sigh!
¡°In fact, with Long Yifan¡¯s state, even though his fees were not paid, we have been mulling over conducting the surgery on our own to prevent any life-threatening risks. However, only the names Fang Ln and Fang Shaohua were registered as his family members in our records. I made multiple calls to Fang Ln but she insisted that she was not concerned about the patient¡¯s condition. She even told us to mind our own business and refused to pay the fees. Moreover, she blocked the hospital¡¯s phone numbers. As for Fang Shaohua, our calls couldn¡¯t get through to him at any point. We couldn¡¯t contact any of Long Yifan¡¯s family members and without a signed consent form, we did not dare to conduct the operation. After all, if something went wrong, we wouldn¡¯t be able to take responsibility for it.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not me them. ¡°I can only condemn myself for being careless. I haven¡¯t been fulfilling my duties as a daughter. It seems that my mother has been ruthless. She lied to me and imed that she had been taking good care of my father. My brother, Fang Shaohua, has been in jail for the past three years. You naturally couldn¡¯t contact him.¡±
¡°Your mother is really cruel.¡± Zhang Jingting said ruefully.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s nose felt sour. She felt the urge to cry once again.
This was not because of her mother¡¯s cruel actions. Her heart was aching for her father¡¯s suffering.
She swore to herself that she would take good care of him from now onwards!
After being offered ten times the rate, a care worker quickly arrived.
Fang Xinxin worked with her and Long Yifan was cleaned up. They shifted him onto a different bed and quickly pushed him into the operation theatre.
Fang Xinxin sat outside the operating theatre. Her heart was overwhelmed with worry.
Since young, her father had doted on her and loved her the most.
He often said she was his life!
Eleven years ago, her mother also loved her the most. However, gradually, she felt the change in her behaviour.
Whenever she brought this up to her father, he would reprimand her.
Her mother also started telling her that her father did not like her anymore. As a result, their father-daughter rtionship gradually became distant.
Chapter 169: Regret
Chapter 169: Regret
As she sifted through her memories, she realised that her father always loved her deeply. He often fought with her mother and stopped her from mistreating her. He also secretly gave her a lot of money, ranging from thirty thousand dors to a hundred thousand dors.
Back then, her mother frequently questioned her if her father had given her money secretly. She had always been foolishly filial and answered honestly every time.
As a result, her mother took away all the money that her father had saved for her.
Although she was forced to live in a storeroom, she only stayed there for the past three years, ever since her father went into aa. Prior to that, her father had always made her live in the school dorm. During holidays, he would send her to the office which had living space in the Fang Group¡¯s office building. He would even sleepover there to make sure she wasn¡¯t lonely.
Prior to being jailed, her brother, Fang Shaohua, also took good great care of her.
Her actual misfortune only began three years ago, when both her father and brother met with idents.
Fang Manxue became brave to the point where she dared to drug her food. Her mother, Fang Ln, stopped her from living in the office spaces and insisted that she stay in the storeroom. They even prevented her from having proper food.
In her past life, she had been foolish and always trusted that her birth mother would not harm her.
But as she deliberated over it now, she felt that there was something clearly amiss with Fang Ln!
Right now, she prayed that her father¡¯s surgery would be sessful. Even if he was doomed toy on the bed for the rest of his life, she would be more than willing to care for him.
Suddenly, she received a WeChat notification on her phone.
She opened it to see that Bai Qinghao was checking in with her.
She told him that she was at the hospital.
Her phone rang almost immediately. The moment she answered it, Bai Qinghao¡¯s heavy and cold tone could be heard. He sounded impatient. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what happened to you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
¡°Why are you at the hospital?¡±
¡°My dad is undergoing a surgery.¡± She had no intentions of hiding this from him.
¡°How is he?¡±
She fell silent for a moment. After sniffling, she made sure to suppress the heartbreak in her voice and tried her best tomunicate with him calmly. ¡°He has severe bedsores, and there were maggots growing on his body. They need to do a surgery to remove the rotten flesh. But there shouldn¡¯t be any life-threatening risks.¡±
¡°Which hospital is he at? I¡¯ll be there immediately.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you busy?¡±
¡°I asked you which hospital he is at!¡±
She gave Bai Qinghao the address and he immediately hung up. Ten minutester, his tall and broad figure appeared outside the operation theatre.
¡°Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai!¡± All the medical staff, who noticed his presence, became agitated.
Several of the female nurses were watching him with sparkling eyes. ¡°Why did CEO Baie to our hospital? Wow, he is so handsome, so cool!¡±
¡°His family background is extraordinary with a ster family history. If we can gain his favour, there¡¯ll be a life of unprecedented luxury and wealth waiting for us. We¡¯ll never run out of money!¡± The rtives of several patients tried to approach him. Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguards forced them to keep their distance. As a result, they could only watch him from afar.
Fang Xinxin noticed him and nodded lightly. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±
Bai Qinghao sat down by her side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. His cold, heavy tone was apologetic. ¡°I asked the hospital director about Uncle¡¯s situation. This is all my fault. I never expected the Fang family to neglect him so badly. I haven¡¯t been paying attention to his condition for the past three years.¡±
¡°This is not rted to you.¡± She shook her head. ¡°I was the one who asked you to leave him alone, and to not interfere with the Fang family¡¯s matters.¡±
From what she recalled, back when her father first became ill, Bai Qinghao had offered to care for him. At the time, she was head over heels in love with Bai Chenxi, and had raised her voice against him, telling him to stay out of her business.
¡°I trusted my mother too much. I never expected that he would be abandoned by his own wife. To think that he would end up in this state!¡± She closed her eyes and held back her tears.
Chapter 170: Dream About Me
Chapter 170: Dream About Me
She did not like crying in front of anyone.
In her previous life, she had been weak and helpless. But in this life, she would definitely be different.
Bai Qinghao held her lovingly and whispered in aforting voice. ¡°Everything has passed. I promise you, he will be fine.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao...¡± She was deeply moved as she pressed her face against his firm shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m so unfilial, yet you don¡¯t seem to me me.¡±
¡°Silly...¡± He patted her back lightly. His tone was filled with heartache. ¡°You¡¯re still a student. There¡¯s only so much you can do. How could I possibly me you? I haven¡¯t even spoiled you enough.¡±
She gloomily responded. ¡°I cleared up my father¡¯s hospital fees. I also deposited fifty thousand dors for emergency use.¡±
¡°En.¡± He asked lightly, but the atmosphere turned cold from his suspicion. ¡°Where did the moneye from?¡±
Originally, it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to ask her this question. The Fang family could not have given her money, nor would she have asked them for it.
But if it hade from Bai Chenxi...
She would not be able to endure the consequences of betraying him!
Fang Xinxin could see his suspicious gaze. He was probably doubtful that she had taken the money from Bai Chenxi. ¡°A few days ago, I won thirteen million dors in a lottery.¡±
There had never been any trust between the two of them.
Hence, she did not expect him to believe her easily. Nevertheless, she would slowly dismantle the mistrust he held in his heart.
She brought her phone out and opened a video. It was a recording of a stack of winning tickets. ¡°Look. These are the tickets I bought.¡±
A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold face. ¡°You won such a big sum.¡±
¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re my lucky star.¡± She smiled elegantly.
Her gaze waspletely focused on him. ¡°Before I bought the tickets, I had a dream. In my dream, you told me to buy these numbers. After I woke up, I followed your instructions and actually won.¡±
His heart rippled. She actually dreamt of him!
Some people struggled to earn that sum of money in their lifetimes. But for him, the amount wasn¡¯t even worth mentioning.
What made him happy was that she dreamt of him.
¡°En.¡± He nodded lightly. Although he was secretly delighted, he appeared unruffled on the surface. ¡°In the future, dream of me frequently.¡±
She blinked. ¡°I can¡¯t control my thoughts after I fall asleep. How do I decide the contents of my dream?¡±
How did the focus shift onto her dreams? Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be suspicious of her win?
She did not wish to bring up her previous lifetime. That... would be too painful.
However, now that she thought about it, from someone else¡¯s point of view, winning the first prize would only be considered a matter of great fortune.
No one would think more of it.
¡°Think of me more, then.¡± His tone was cold but his soft expression could not be concealed. ¡°Fall asleep as you think about me. That way, you¡¯ll surely dream about me.¡±
Fang Xinxin asked him. ¡°Will you think of me before you sleep as well?¡±
His gaze was as deep as the ocean. He watched her silently but did not answer.
As he did not wish to worry her, he could not tell her that he often suffered from insomnia. He slept very little and even when he was thoroughly exhausted, he had difficulty in sleeping.
The only way he rested was by thinking of her repeatedly, and missing her. He always did so until his body gave into the exhaustion and allowed him to rest a little.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± She was confused.
¡°I sometimes do.¡± He replied in a light tone.
Her lips curved into a light smile, and like the water on the surface of ake, his heart rippled. ¡°As long as you do.¡±
She liked it when she was on his mind. He smiled at this discovery.
The entire hallway was sealed off. The bodyguards stood on both sides of the corridor, preventing any busybodies from approaching.
Chapter 171: To Be Buried Alongside
Chapter 171: To Be Buried Alongside
A middle-aged man stood at the end of the hallway. His voice was trembling as he pleaded. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m Lu Youtian, the director of this hospital. I wish to discuss Long Yifan¡¯s situation with you...¡±
Lu Youtian¡¯splexion was pale and his back was covered in cold sweat.
He had not known that Long Yifan was Bai Qinghao¡¯s future father-inw. After all, it was the Fang family that had a marriage alliance with the Bai family.
Logically speaking, wasn¡¯t themander¡¯s future father-inw supposed to have the surname ¡®Fang¡¯?
Who would have thought that the Fang family¡¯sdy took her mother¡¯s name, and that her father had married into her mother¡¯s family.
If he knew about Long Yifan¡¯s rtionship with Bai Qinghao, he obviously would have worshipped Long Yifan as though he was his ancestor! Was there even the need to mention the measly two months debt?
But now, he was doomed. CEO Bai¡¯s future father-inw had actually suffered from such poor living conditions in his hospital. Damn, even maggots grew on his body!
If he did not beg for forgiveness now, he would likely lose his life.
¡°Drag him here.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded coldly.
A bodyguard immediately caught Lu Youtian¡¯s arms and held them behind his back. He dragged him towards Bai Qinghao.
¡°CEO Bai, I really didn¡¯t know that Long Yifan is your father-inw to-be...¡± Lu Youtian¡¯s expression was white like a sheet of paper.
He secretly peeked at Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid expression. He could not tell if the man was angry.
His gaze shifted to the other person present there. He was dumbstruck to see that CEO Bai, who was rumoured to avoid all women, was holding a fat and ugly woman in his arms!
Wasn¡¯t CEO Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Fang Manxue, supposed to be drop dead gorgeous?
Why was this woman so ugly?
The question threw him off but this was none of his business.
His priority was to focus on protecting the hospital and holding onto his small life. ¡°If I had known that you were rted to Long Yifan, even if I was threatened with death, I would never have dared to...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze pierced through him likeser beams. He calmly threatened him. ¡°If Long Yifan survives and recovers, your little life will temporarily be safe. But if he dies, both you and the treating doctor will have to pay with your lives!¡±
Lu Youtian nearly wet his pants from fear. Hisplexion was pale and he did not dare to speak up again.
Everyone knew that Bai Qinghao always kept his word. If there was someone he wanted dead, there was no way for that person to live!
After some time, the lit sign outside the operating theatre darkened. Several doctors and nurses came out of the room. When they noticed the fiercely guarded hallway, they were all dumbstruck.
The next moment, they were bbergasted at the sight of Bai Qinghao. They had only ever seen him in the newspapers till now. To think that such a big figure would appear here.
Their gaze immediately turned respectful.
Lu Youtian rushed to ask the doctor. ¡°Zhang Jingting, how is Long Yifan¡¯s situation?¡±
The operating doctor, Zhang Jingting, noticed the hospital director¡¯s flustered state and became nervous. ¡°There were no problems with the surgery. After some rest and good care, he will be fine. However, he is still in aa. That state remains unchanged.¡±
Lu Youtian heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Thank god you managed to keep his life.¡±
Zhang Jingting was confused by his anxiety. ¡°Director?¡±
¡°If something had happened to Long Yifan, we would all have to be buried with him!¡±
When the doctors and nurses heard these words, theirplexion turned waxen. They began quivering.
The nurses were wheeling a hospital stretcher out. Fang Xinxin rushed forward and saw that Long Yifan was unconscious. She cried out. ¡°Dad...¡±
Long Yifan, who was in ¡®deep sleep¡¯ remained unresponsive.
For the first time, Fang Xinxin felt that it was a blessing for her father to be unconscious. At the very least, he would not have to suffer from the pain of the surgery.
¡°Arrange for Long Yifan to be transferred to a hospital under the Sheng Shi Group.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded expressionlessly. ¡°As for this hospital... their staff neglected to provide their patient with proper medical treatment. There¡¯s no need for it to exist any longer!¡±
Chapter 172: Best Care For Future Father-In-Law
Chapter 172: Best Care For Future Father-In-Law
Lu Youtian and his staff started crying in anguish.
They knew that they had not only lost their jobs but also offended Bai Qinghao. In this life, it was unlikely for anyone to hire them in the medical field again.
...
Jia Ya Hospital, the hospital owned by the Sheng Shi Group was the most luxurious hospital in the entire city. In terms of facilities and medical standards, they were ranked number one in the entire country. Their only w was their pricey treatment fees.
Simply put, it was a hospital meant for the super wealthy.
The city centre had more than enough rich people and with Sheng Shi Group¡¯s name attached to it, Jia Ya hospital rarely had empty hospital rooms.
Long Yifan was arranged to be admitted into the ward on the highest floor of the hospital, thirty-eighth floor. It was the most luxurious en-suite ward avable in the hospital. One night of stay there alone would cost a hefty sum.
Bai Qinghao instructed them to provide Long Yifan with the best treatment and care. The best doctors and nurses were put on the job. All of the medical fee was to be waived.
Fang Xinxin did not reject his kind intentions.
After all, even if she refused his money, her debt from her previous life could never be cleared. She owed him big time anyways!
More importantly, she suspected that there was something amiss with her mother. Right now, it wasn¡¯t safe for her father to remain in a regr hospital.
In Jia Ya Hospital, Bai Qinghao arranged for two bodyguards to guard outside the hospital ward.
Inside the room, Fang Xinxin stayed besides Long Yifan¡¯s bed and apanied him tillte at night.
Bai Qinghao also remained by her side.
She repeatedly urged him to attend to his work, but he refused to leave. On the other hand, his phone kept ringing repeatedly.
The Sheng Shi Group had a lot of matters awaiting his instructions.
Fang Xinxin also received a call from Fang Ln. Fang Xinxin informed her she was at the hospital apanying her father. However, aside from reprimanding her for spending so much money on Fang Manxue¡¯s clothes, Fang Ln did not mention anything else. She did not even bother to ask about her father¡¯s situation.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart had turnedpletely cold towards Fang Ln by now.
The moon was shining brightly tonight. Fang Xinxin stood in front of the windows on the thirty-eighth floor and watched as the clouds slowly floated in the sky.
A thick suit jacket was ced on her shoulders from behind. She turned around to look at Bai Qinghao. ¡°It¡¯s reallyte. You still have work tomorrow. You should head home first.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± His voice was slightly husky from fatigue.
Yesterday, at the Fang family¡¯s guest room, he had failed to catch any sleep.
After staying awake for forty-eight hours straight, hisplexion was really poor.
Fang Xinxin couldn¡¯t help but notice his fatigue. She understood that he could not bear to leave her alone. Thus, she said, ¡°How about we sleep here?¡±
The room was extremely spacious. Aside from the patient¡¯s bed, there was a bed provided for the apanying family member. It was around 1.5 metres wide. There was also a living room for receiving visitors.
¡°We¡¯ll sleep together.¡± He pursed his lips and his tone did not offer any possibilities for negotiation.
¡°En.¡± She climbed onto the bed first. Bai Qinghaoid down by her side and opened his arms to hold her.
He then tugged the nket over them. As he held the little woman in his arms, he leaned into her hair and breathed in the sweet scent of her shampoo.
His cold, frozen heart felt content.
This night, he held her properly and did not do anything intimate or out of line.
This was because Long Yifan was on the other hospital bed, even if he was in aa.
He would never sully the only woman, who possessed his heart, in front of anyone else.
Perhaps it was because Fang Xinxin was in his arms that Bai Qinghao¡¯s tense emotions calmed down, lulling him to fall asleep without any hitch.
He was exhausted and insomnia didn¡¯t haunt him that night.
Fang Xinxin took the initiative to wrap her little hands around his firm waist. She was simrly tired and was soon asleep.
Outside the window, the moon shone brightly and the stars twinkled.
The two of them slept peacefully in each other¡¯s arms that night.
Chapter 173: Ridiculously Handsome
Chapter 173: Ridiculously Handsome
The next day, warm sunlight entered the room through the window and brightened up the luxurious hospital room.
Bai Qinghao opened his eyes. He had slept really well through the night and was in a good state of mind.
He took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s sleeping figure and felt at peace.
He could only set his heart at ease when she was by his side. This was the only time he could be certain she would not abruptly disappear from his life...
They had been engaged for years, and she had detested him since they were young. It was difficult for him to believe she was actuallyying obediently in his arms right now.
If only she would be just aspliant for the rest of their lives.
No matter how she felt internally, she could only belong to him!
At this moment, Fang Xinxin began to wake up. She opened her eyes to find Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze on her.
The look in his eyes was deep and distant. His eyes seemed boundless, like the universe. Mysterious and unfathomable yet captivating.
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, his gaze was slightly misty. It gave him a unique, hazy sense of beauty.
To think that her male idol would be this alluring in his drowsy state.
She suddenly recalled that they were in a hospital room. Her father was on the bed next to theirs.
She smiled and said warmly to Bai Qinghao, ¡°Do you know what I¡¯m doing?¡±
A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
¡°I¡¯m looking at a handsome man.¡± She gave him the answer without waiting for him to guess.
He was delighted by her praise. In the past, she always found him unpleasant to look at.
She turned towards him and propped herself against the bed to soak in the stern, cold and handsome features. The more she looked at him, the more she found him ridiculously handsome!
Last night, he gave her his suit jacket which she had left on the bedside table.
Right now, he was wearing a white formal shirt.
His figure was even better than that of those legendary ancient Greek men. From head to toe, he exuded a rough seductiveness!
Fang Xinxin sighed in her heart. He was truly God¡¯s best creation.
She could not bear to blink for fear of missing even a single look of him. In thetter part of her previous life, she had been visually impaired and could not see him even though she wanted to. She wanted to make up for all that time now!
Bai Qinghao noticed her captivated gaze. His cold, heavy voice was alluring. ¡°Is it to your liking?¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡± She nodded like a little chick.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes concealed his deep feelings. He wanted to kiss her, but it was not convenient to do so in this hospital ward.
Fang Xinxin nced at her father, who was lying quietly on the bed in hisatose state. Her heart ached for him.
If only her father could wake up someday, one day.
Bai Qinghao understood that she was worried for Father Fang. He gently caressed her long, soft hair. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯ll take care of you and your father.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao...¡± She pursed her lips. Her sweet voice was slightly choked up.
In this life, she had already be strong and was not as weak and helpless as she had once been. Still, his promise moved her greatly.
He noticed the change in her voice and his heart ached for her. However, he maintained a cold expression. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to cry!¡±
Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t know how to cheer her up.
She thought he was frustrated by her and nodded with some unhappiness. ¡°As if I would cry.¡± She was not as prone to tears in this life.
He noticed her obedient expressions and felt strangely stifled and helpless. ¡°But... if you really wish to cry, go ahead.¡±
Chapter 174: Weight Loss Plan
Chapter 174: Weight Loss n
At most, he would learn how to coax her.
Fang Xinxin noticed his stern expression and suddenlyughed, revealing her pearly teeth. ¡°I want tough. Can I do that?¡±
¡°That¡¯s allowed.¡± His response was strangely hrious, but his innate, cold disposition dampened the humour. She did not find him funny, and instead he seemed aloof.
Still, she understood he was trying to cheer her up. Hence, she was delighted.
The two of them got off the bed and tidied themselves up. He quickly regained his cool, noble and powerful charisma.
At this moment, Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone rang. Fang Xinxin noticed that the other party¡¯s tone sounded flustered, but could not catch what he was saying.
Bai Qinghao quickly bid her farewell and left hurriedly.
Fang Xinxin sat down by her father¡¯s bedside and adjusted the nkets for him.
¡°Dad, you have to get better.¡± As she watched Long Yifan, her gaze was apologetic. ¡°In the past, I never took good care of you. But from now onwards, I won¡¯t allow you to suffer even the slightest bit of harm.¡±
Long Yifan, who had been unconscious for a long time, did not respond to her.
She sighed. ¡°Dad, did you know? In the past, I had a father and a mother who loved me. But now I think that mom has changed. She has be...pletely different from the way she used to be. I¡¯m not sure why this is so. But I¡¯ll definitely investigate this clearly. I hope you¡¯ll wake up soon. But even if you can¡¯t, you have to live on well. As long as you¡¯re alive, I¡¯ll still have a family member who truly loves me. Perhaps... you¡¯re the only family I have left.¡±
Although tears welled up in her eyes, she forcefully held them back.
¡°Bai Qinghao arranged for two bodyguards to stand guard outside your ward. He has also hired the best doctors and nurses to take care of you. There¡¯ll be care workers massaging you everyday. You won¡¯t develop bed sores again.¡±
She sniffled before continuing in an emotional voice. ¡°In fact, I should be the one staying by your side to care for you. But Brother Shaohua is in jail. He has been locked up for three years. Fang Manxue fed me with weight-gain drugs. I can¡¯t be powerless any longer. I have to be strong in order to protect you and to rescue my brother... there are too many things I need to do. I¡¯m helpless and can only rely on the staff here to take care of you. But don¡¯t worry. I¡¯lle and visit you whenever I¡¯m free.¡±
It was quiet in the hospital ward. Long Yifanid peacefully and did not react in any way.
She stood up with bittersweet feelings and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a knock resounded against the door. A chef in his forties entered with a meal cart. He gestured towards the various, well-made, delicious-looking food on it. ¡°Miss Fang, this is the breakfast CEO Bai told me to prepare for you.¡±
Fang Xinxin recognised him. He was the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s head chef.
She never expected Bai Qinghao to remember her breakfast even in his busy state.
Bai Qinghao was distant and cold, but when it came to her, he was always extremely considerate...
Yet again, her heart had been warmed by his gesture.
Eight luxurious breakfast dishes had been prepared for her. Although she could have finished all of them, she only took a single bite from each dish and put her chopsticks down.
She had begun losing weight by cutting down on her food intake.
She needed to obtain a 54 kilograms figure as soon as possible!
This luxurious hospital ward had everything one could possibly need. There was even a weighing scale.
She checked her figure: 167 catties.
She had already lost 20 catties from when she first returned to the past.
This was good. If she kept this up, she would quickly be thin.
She went to therge garden behind the hospital and jogged for a long time. After running thirty rounds, Fang Xinxin was drenched in sweat. She felt that the more she would perspire, the faster she would lose the weight.
Chapter 175: You’ve Gained Weight
Chapter 175: You¡¯ve Gained Weight
She needed to eat less everyday, and exercise more.
Afterpleting her run, she washed her face with cold water. Post that, she contacted herwyer and made a trip to the prison with him.
...
In the visiting room, a long stone counter was separated by a ss fixture. Fang Xinxin waited there impatiently.
Herwyer, Li Shaohong, stood by her side.
A momentter, Fang Shaohua was led into the room by a prison guard.
He was wearing the prison uniform. Although he had a tall and handsome figure, his hair had been shaved and his usual sunshine disposition was reced by a gloomy aura.
There was a bruise on the corner of his lips and a bandage on his forehead.
The moment he appeared, Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes became wet.
Her brother had lost a lot of weight. He also looked despondent.
She knew that her pitiful elder brother had been bullied seriously in jail!
¡°Brother!¡± Fang Xinxin stood up from her seat in agitation.
The moment Fang Shaohua saw her, a hint of shock appeared on his depressed face. He immediately became joyful. ¡°Third sister!¡±
Through the ss, they could not hear each other. Still, they understood one another from the movement of their lips.
Fang Xinxin leaned against the ss panel and pressed her palms against it. She wished she could embrace him at this moment.
Fang Shaohua imitated her movement. He dearly wished to hold her too, but was helpless.
One of them was trapped behind the wall, while the other was watching from outside.
They were so close, yet were worlds apart.
Fang Shaohua saw the tears on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face and his heart ached for her. He mouthed repeatedly. ¡°Third sister... don¡¯t cry... don¡¯t cry.¡±
He knew that his third sister rarely cried.
At the sight of her tears, he was deeply moved. However, he also felt very guilty.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached for Fang Shaohua. Since young, her elder brother had doted on her, even more than one would care for their blood-rted siblings.
Despite Fang Xinxin¡¯s agitation, when she noticed her brother¡¯s worry, she wiped her tears away.
She pointed to the side of the ss panel and gestured towards the telephone. She picked up the receiver.
Fang Shaohua sat down as well. He picked up the receiver, and through the ss panel, his refined and husky voice could be heard. ¡°Third sister... you¡¯ve gained weight.¡±
¡°Brother, you¡¯ve lost weight.¡±
She spoke at the same time.
When she heard her brother mentioning her weight gain, sheughed, easing the sorrowful atmosphere.
¡°Brother, what happened to your lips and your forehead?¡± Fang Xinxin asked him with a frown.
¡°Nothing much.¡± He spoke calmly. ¡°I had a small conflict with my cellmate and we fought a little. It¡¯s a small injury. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already asked someone to look into your situation. Your cellmate, Pan Dalong, is always bullying you.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze was enraged. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He won¡¯t dare to do it again.¡±
¡°How did you find out about this?¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression turned helpless. ¡°Your brother is useless. I made you worry.¡±
¡°You¡¯re my brother. It¡¯s my responsibility to worry about you.¡±
Fang Shaohua took in her strangely overweight figure. ¡°Three years ago, you weren¡¯t this chubby. What happened? And the e on your face seems to have be worse... this isn¡¯t right.¡±
Her brother¡¯s eyes had always been sharp. Her current figure and e were caused by Fang Manxue but Fang Xinxin did not wish to tell him this and add to his worries. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely get better. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
Fang Shaohua said in concern, ¡°Third sister, where are you staying now? The Fang home is abnormal. It¡¯s better if you move to Bai Qinghao¡¯s ce.¡±
Only God knew how difficult it was for him to tell her to go to Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this. Her brother had been in jail for the past three years. This meant that he had noticed something amiss with the Fang family three years ago.
Chapter 176: Innocent?
Chapter 176: Innocent?
¡°I¡¯m living at the Fang home right now.¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to lie to him. ¡°I¡¯ll watch out for myself. There¡¯s no need for you to worry.¡±
¡°Xinxin, it¡¯s better if you¡¯re with Bai Qinghao...¡±
¡°There are a lot of matters which I can only understand if I remain in the Fang home. Brother, you¡¯ve also noticed that something is amiss with the Fang family. But you don¡¯t have any evidence, right?¡± Otherwise, he would definitely have told her about it.
Fang Shaohua nodded helplessly. He understood that though Xinxin¡¯s character was soft, when she set her mind on something, there was no way to persuade her to bend her will. ¡°You have to be careful then.¡±
¡°I will be.¡±
Fang Shaohua seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly spoke in a flustered tone. ¡°Xinxin, have you visited Dad recently? Before I was jailed, I paid arge sum to the hospital for his treatment. The money should have been finished two months ago. Did mom pay his outstanding fees?¡±
¡°She didn¡¯t.¡± Fang Xinxin did not want him to stress over their father¡¯s condition. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already paid the medical fees.¡±
¡°It must have been very expensive. Where did you find the money...¡± Fang Shaohua had a lot of concerns. Yet, he was trapped in jail and did not have the power to do anything.
¡°It¡¯s fine. I have a lot of money.¡± Fang Xinxin winked at him mischievously in hopes of easing the heavy atmosphere. ¡°I¡¯m telling you this secretly. I won the lottery recently worth over thirteen million dors.¡±
¡°Really!¡± He looked at her suspiciously. ¡°Could it have been Bai Qinghao...¡±
¡°No, no.¡± She rushed to shake her head. ¡°I was just really lucky and won the money by chance.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. Your brother is happy for you.¡± Fang Shaohua finally smiled a little.
¡°Brother, as you know, we still don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with the Fang family. A normal hospital isn¡¯t safe right now. I have shifted Dad into Jia Ya Hospital. It¡¯s the hospital managed by the Sheng Shi Group. Bai Qinghao has arranged two bodyguards to protect him.¡±
Fang Shaohua hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°...that¡¯s a good idea. Although we are troubling Bai Qinghao, it¡¯s more important for Dad to be safe.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin began nagging him. ¡°Brother, you have to watch out for your health here. Remember to have your meals regrly and sleep on time. Don¡¯t let anyone bully you...¡±
Fang Shaohua took in her worried expression. A hint of light appeared in his gloomy expression. ¡°Xinxin...¡±
¡°En?¡±
¡°You believe in me, don¡¯t you?¡± Fang Shaohua became agitated. ¡°You believe that I¡¯m innocent, don¡¯t you? I didn¡¯t do that sort of thing to that woman!¡±
In Fang Xinxin¡¯s impression, her elder brother Fang Shaohua had always been cheerful and handsome. He was confident and optimistic but did not have much interest in dating women.
She had often asked him about the sort of wife that he was looking for.
Her brother always responded with a smile, telling her he had someone in mind but it was a one-sided crush. He had even told her that he would likely remain single for the rest of his life.
At that time, she had encouraged him to confess, but he told her that the person had a significant other and he could not interfere in her rtionship.
She had carelessly asked once, if he ever visited a prostitute, the way other men tended to do. She could still recall his emotional outburst.
¡°Your brother is a good man with a clean body!¡± She remembered his words even now.
There was no way such a good man like him could...
The victim, Sun Fangfang, had sued her elder brother for rape and physical abuse. She had imed he caused her body to be littered with injuries. She had even lost the ability to ever be pregnant.
As the victim had been one month away from being off age, she was considered a minor at the time and her brother was given a heavy sentence.
Her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, was found guilty and was jailed for twelve years.
In her previous life, after the incident, Fang Xinxin only saw her brother once, right after he was jailed.
Chapter 177: Shaohua’s Injustice
Chapter 177: Shaohua¡¯s Injustice
When she questioned him repeatedly, he had appeared to be in pain but did not refute any of the charges. He had only asked for her to take good care of herself.
As a result, she misunderstood that her elder brother had reallymitted such a shameless crime.
Afterward, when she recalled the way her brother doted on her, despite his mistakes, she still wanted to go visit him. However, her mother and sister always persuaded her against it. They even described him as the shame of the Fang family.
This meant that, until the day she died, she did not visit her brother. She did not check to see if he was living well.
Now that she thought about it, she felt that she had truly been extremely foolish in her previous life.
When she had previously visited him, he did not insist he was innocent because he understood she was still a student and did not have the money to help him overturn the case.
Furthermore, following their father¡¯s ident, her brother knew that her own situation was at risk.
Thus, he was unwilling to im his innocence. He did not want her to feel burdened and only asked her to take good care of herself, and to not miss him too much.
Coming out from her thoughts, she nodded her head bitterly. ¡°Brother, I believe that you are innocent. I definitely believe in you!¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Shaohua immediately teared up. He cried silently. ¡°Xinxin, with these words from you, I, Fang Shaohua, will have no regrets even if I die!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached looking at his tears.
As his sister, she could feel her heart aching in response to her brother¡¯s pain.
Although Fang Shaohua was not her blood-rted brother, since childhood, he had treated her much better than a blood-rted brother would. He always took care of her and doted on her.
He would even save the pocket money their parents gave him to buy presents for her.
¡°Brother, don¡¯t cry...¡± Her throat was slightly choked with emotions. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you cry...¡±
Even when he was sentenced to be jailed, he did not shed any tears.
However, right now, he was crying because of her trust in him.
It seemed like her brother had held this knot in his heart.
¡°All right. Since Xinxin doesn¡¯t want me to cry, I won¡¯t cry again.¡± Fang Shaohua wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and put on aposed expression.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was serious as she gestured toward thewyer who was sitting next to her.
Li Shaohong immediately retrieved a thick file from his briefcase and handed it to her.
She opened the file before Fang Shaohua and flipped through the pages. ¡°Brother, mywyer and I are looking into your case together. I¡¯m going to overturn the judgement.¡±
A hint of hope appeared in Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes. But soon his ink-ck pupils turned slightly mncholic. ¡°You¡¯re a girl. How will you...¡±
¡°Now, I have the money to do so. I¡¯ve already hired Li Shaohong as yourwyer to represent you.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s handsomeplexion turned bitter. He shook his head. ¡°Be obedient, Xinxin. Since I was wronged, it means there are powerful people scheming against me behind the scenes. I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll be at risk if you try to help me. It¡¯s better not to do so.¡±
Her brother was always like this. He always prioritised her safety. Her voice was as firm as steel. ¡°If I can¡¯t overturn your case, I¡¯ll have trouble eating and sleeping for the rest of my life. You know this as well. I won¡¯t change my mind once I¡¯ve decided on something.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze was filled with worry. However, he did not attempt to persuade her again. After all, he did not wish to be wronged for the rest of his life.
Only by leaving this ce could he properly take care of her and protect her.
Fang Xinxin took in a deep breath and stood up. ¡°Brother, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve been meaning to ask you for a long time.¡±
¡°Go ahead. If it¡¯s something I know, I definitely won¡¯t keep it from you.¡±
Chapter 178: Because Of Xinxin (Part 1)
Chapter 178: Because Of Xinxin (Part 1)
¡°You know that I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and that he has always treated me well. Why didn¡¯t you ever ask me to reach out to Bai Qinghao for help?¡± This was what Fang Xinxin wanted to know.
¡°You should know this as well. As long as Bai Qinghao stands up for you, everything will be fine.¡±
¡°Silly sister.¡± Fang Shaohua looked at her dotingly. It was only when he saw her that his eyes appeared to be shining. ¡°Xinxin, you are my, Fang Shaohua¡¯s, most precious... sister.¡± You¡¯re even more important to me than my own life. ¡°How could I ask you to beg another man to resolve my own problems? I¡¯d rather die than have you beg someone on my behalf. Besides, this is just a matter of a few years in jail.¡±
He intentionally made light of the situation.
However, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached badly for him.
He had been wrongfully sentenced to twelve years of imprisonment.
No one could understand how difficult this must be for him to bear.
He used to be a cheerful boy. However, right now, there was no hint of that sunny disposition.
All that was left was a jaded heart.
Still, he was trying his best not to make her worry and intentionally maintained a strong face in front of her.
Afterwards, Fang Xinxin let Li Shaohong discuss the case with Fang Shaohua in detail.
They were not afraid of running out of time or be disturbed by anyone. This was because she had bribed the prison-in charge, as well as the prison guards in charge of watching her brother¡¯s cell.
Three years ago, when the Fang Group¡¯s director, Long Yifan, became a vegetable, the general manager, Fang Ln and deputy general manager, Fang Shaohua, were the two potential candidates to inherit the Fang Group.
At the time, her elder brother had no intentions of fighting for the position with Fang Ln. However, prior to her father¡¯s copse, perhaps it was because he had been worried that his wife would snatch the position, but Long Yifan had signed the documents for Fang Shaohua to rece him.
Her brother had always put in a lot of hard work into thepany. Most of therge projects that the Fang Group received were managed by him.
If the abilities werepared, there was no way Fang Ln would have won against Fang Shaohua.
Moreover with the documents signed by the previous director, most of the shareholders also supported Fang Shaohua.
Then, one day, Fang Shaohua apanied one of the Fang Group¡¯s clients, Wang Youhui, for drinks. At the time, Wang Youhui, who was in his forties, called a youngdy by the name of Sun Fangfang to apany him.
That night, Fang Shaohua, Wang Youhui and Sun Fangfang drank a lot.
Fang Shaohua returned to the Fang homete in the evening, before hurrying off to Sun Fangfang¡¯s hotel. The next morning, they discovered both Sun Fangfang and him on the same bed. Sun Fangfang¡¯s lower body was bleeding and she was covered in wounds. They also found traces of her brother¡¯s semen in her body. Thus, Sun Fangfang sued her brother for his crimes...
Her brother had independently returned to the Fang home before heading to the hotel. Hence, it was determined that he must have been conscious when he attacked Sun Fangfang. As a result, he was charged with intentional harm.
She was quietly listening to their conversation when she suddenly asked him. ¡°Brother, that night, you had already finished drinking with your client and returned home. Why did you suddenly go to Sun Fangfang¡¯s hotel?¡±
Logically speaking, her brother was a principled man. He never went overboard when he drank.
It was even more unreasonable for him to visit Sun Fangfang¡¯s hotel in the middle of the night.
Fang Shaohua pursed his lips as he watched Fang Xinxin.
She urged him. ¡°You have to tell us clearly. This is important.¡±
Fang Shaohua was silent for a moment before he looked at her in concern. ¡°That night, I returned to the Fang home and wanted to check in on you. I searched the entire Fang home but couldn¡¯t find you. After that, I received a message from you. You asked me toe to room 106 at the Fu Chun Hotel to pick you up. In that message, you mentioned that you were frightened. I called you but you didn¡¯t pick up the phone. I was worried that you were in trouble so I rushed over. But the moment I went into that hotel room, I felt a wet towel pressing against my nose and I lost my consciousness.¡±
Chapter 179: Because Of Xinxin (Part 2)
Chapter 179: Because Of Xinxin (Part 2)
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck by his response.
She could have never guessed she was the reason that her brother met with trouble!
The heavy feeling of guilt knocked against her chest. ¡°The night you met with trouble, Bai Chenxi told me he wasn¡¯t feeling well and asked if I had the time to eat supper with him.¡±
At the time, she loved Bai Chenxi dearly. She would have agreed to marry him on the spot if he had asked. How could she have refused to have supper with him?
¡°I agreed and we met on a food street. The ce was crowded at night and my phone was stolen. I didn¡¯t send you any messages, nor did I receive any calls from you.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°Clearly, someone was scheming against us.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was grave. ¡°The next day, when I woke up on the hotel bed with Sun Fangfang, she was seriously injured. I immediately understood that the message didn¡¯te from you. Unfortunately, by then, someone had deleted the message that I received from your phone. I was immediately arrested and I couldn¡¯t contact you. The entire time I was in jail, I couldn¡¯t sleep or eat well. I was worried you had met with trouble. Until...¡±
She responded to his words. ¡°Until I came to visit you. You only stopped worrying when you saw that I was fine. Brother, you should have told me about this earlier! I waspletely clueless. I thought I had identally lost my phone. I didn¡¯t think that someone had stolen my phone to trick you!¡±
¡°It was better that way. At the very least, you were safe.¡± He smiled and consoled her. As long as she was fine, he did not mind his own plight.
¡°Did you know? The moment I learned that you had met with trouble, I was extremely flustered. Mom told me that, since you hadmitted a crime, it was only natural that you serve your time.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke with an upset expression.
¡°Mom even said that, this is your retribution... that you¡¯re only an adopted son and that you had no right being so ambitious to stand against her just to be the Fang Group¡¯s director.¡±
Fang Shaohua did not rush to exin himself. ¡°Xinxin, what do you think?¡±
In her previous life, she had been blinded by Fang Ln and had chosen to stand on her mother¡¯s side.
However, after enduring one lifetime, she saw things clearly now. She understood that her brother was sincerely loyal to the Fang family.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone was serious. ¡°Brother, I believe that you¡¯re not like that. Even if there was something you truly wanted, there was no way you would have targeted the Fang Group. You would have tried to obtain it with your own abilities.¡±
Fang Shaohua smiled in relief. His darkplexion seemed to regain a little of its previous, sunny disposition. His eyes were warm and bright. ¡°Your trust... is all I need.¡±
He paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Before Dad became a vegetable, besides the deed to hand his position over, he also prepared another document. Ever since I became the Fang Group¡¯s director, the Fang Group¡¯s profits were to be split evenly between us. As for the debts, if there were any, they would not be passed onto you. Initially, I did not wish to have my half. I thought it would be enough if I received a sry, but Dad insisted on it and said it would encourage me to work harder for thepany. I only agreed to it to set his heart at ease. There are two copies of this signed document. One is with Ming Da Law Corporation, while the other should be with me. To prevent Fang Ln from destroying the contract, I left mine at thewyer¡¯s office at well. You can request for it from thewyer by the name of Zhang Minglu.
He then shared Zhang Minglu¡¯s contact details with her.
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
¡°Also...¡± Fang Shaohua watched her with heartache. ¡°I saved some money under your name.¡±
Chapter 180: Shaohua’s Hidden Feelings
Chapter 180: Shaohua¡¯s Hidden Feelings
His expression was slightly shy. ¡°I saved the money which I earned while I was at the Fang Group, including the reward money and bonuses that I received. It¡¯s not a big sum and only adds up to around a million dors. Don¡¯t look down upon it. I kept the card in the box under the moonlight. The pin number is your birthday.¡±
¡°Brother, there¡¯s no need for this.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t mind that the money is too little, take it.¡±
¡°I have money, I really don¡¯t need...¡±
¡°Listen to your brother and take it! If you won¡¯t take it, you¡¯re not allowed to try and fight the case for me.¡± He desperately wished to leave this ce to prove to the world that he was innocent. However, if he did not say this, she definitely would not ept the money.
He had already been jailed for three years. If they failed to overturn his case, it was likely that he would be trapped here for the next nine years.
In fact, even if he did manage to leave this ce, he was already a pariah in the society. It was likely that he would never have the ability to take care of her for the rest of his life.
There was only very little that he could give her.
If the Fang Group was still willing to take him back as their director, he would not ept a single cent of profit. He would save every cent he earned for her.
Seeing her brother¡¯s insistence, Fang Xinxin was helpless. She could only nod in response. ¡°All right then. I¡¯ll hold onto it for you for the time being. If you ever need it, all you have to do is ask.¡±
Fang Shaohua smiled lightly. He had already given the money to her, why would he take it back?
¡°Brother, it¡¯s clear that someone wanted to stop you from bing the director of Fang Group.¡±
Fang Xinxin continued with her line of thought. ¡°The most suspicious people are Fang Ln and Fang Manxue. The night my phone was stolen, I was coincidentally called out by Bai Chenxi. I¡¯m not sure if this matter is rted to him, but I will definitely investigate it thoroughly.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression became uneasy. He knew that she held Bai Chenxi dearly in her heart. ¡°Xinxin, if this matter is rted to Bai Chenxi...¡±
¡°Then, I will give him a taste of what it¡¯s like to be jailed and to live a life worse than death!¡±
Fang Shaohua smiled genuinely.
In her heart, Bai Chenxi was extremely important. She had even tossed aside the powerful and influential Bai Qinghao for him. Yet, right now, she was willing to force Bai Chenxi to be jailed.
This meant that... her feelings for him were deeper than that for Bai Chenxi.
¡°Xinxin...¡± Fang Shaohua was deeply moved and at a loss for words. If he had known she was that worried about him, he would have worked harder back then.
And now...
Now that he was imprisoned, he no longer had the right to hope for anything.
¡°By the way, Brother, I haven¡¯t thanked you yet. Before you met with trouble, you paid for three years of hospital treatment for our father.¡± She said to him sincerely.
Without him, their father would have long lost his life.
Fang Shaohua waved his hand casually. ¡°I¡¯m his son. It¡¯s what I should have done.¡±
They agreed on a suitable timing for their next meeting before Fang Xinxin turned to leave with herwyer.
She was unaware that Fang Shaohao¡¯s eyes remained fixed on her back view. His gaze revealed his deep feelings and he could not bear to look away from her.
A prison guard led Fang Shaohua back to his cell.
Behind the bars, there were three sets of bunk beds for six prisoners. The six of them were forced to share the small room and it was extremely stuffy.
¡°Yo, a tender and weak man like you gets visitors too?¡± One of his cellmates, Pan Dalong, sneered at him. ¡°I heard a girl came to see you. Was it the woman you had before you came in? Is she hot? Have you taken her yet? Since she remembers you even after three years, she must have some feelings for you. If she¡¯s beautiful, after I¡¯m out of this ce, you have to give me her contact number. I¡¯m going to have a few rounds with her...¡±
Chapter 181: Exchanging Blows In Prison
Chapter 181: Exchanging Blows In Prison
Pan Dalong often bullied Fang Shaohua.
Not only did he snatch Fang Shaohua¡¯s bedspace, but whenever their meals were slightly better, he would take Fang Shaohua¡¯s portion as well. He also frequently took out his anger on Fang Shaohua whenever he was in a bad mood.
The damn brat always looked as though his parents had died. He never fought back whenever he was scolded or beaten up.
As a result, eventually, most of the prisoners started beating him up to vent their emotions.
In any case, even if they beat this Fang brat up to death, he wouldn¡¯t cry out in pain.
He had assumed that no matter how he mocked Fang Shaohua, thetter would not retaliate.
Much to his surprise, before Pan Dalong could finish speaking, Fang Shaohua charged forward and ruthlessly mmed his fist against Pan Dalong¡¯s cheek. His fist was as hard as a rock and the pain misled Pan Dalong into thinking that his face had be disfigured.
¡°Fuck you! How dare you talk crap about my precious girl? Your mouth is so full of shit. I¡¯ll knock off ten of your teeth today!¡± Fang Shaohua raged as though he had gone insane. His fist mmed repeatedly against Pan Dalong¡¯s face.
Pan Dalong was ruthless when it came to beating people up and was used to being feared. He also had some followers in here who listened to hismands without any hesitation. Normally, he acted as though he was the king of this ce.
How could he possibly ept someone rebelling against him?
Pan Dalong roared loudly. ¡°You dared to use such a tone against me! I¡¯m going to cripple all your limbs!¡±
He reached out to block Fang Shaohua¡¯s fist and lifted his leg to kick him. He thought that Fang Shaohua would go flying back by the force of his kick, but to his shock, the man avoided it easily and twisted Pan Dalong¡¯s arm, instead. Pan Dalong¡¯s wrist was nearly snapped because of his move.
Pan Dalong felt that something was amiss. Since when was this Fang brat so well trained?
He suddenly recalled that prior to this, the man never once fought back against him.
He had thought that the brat was a weakling. To think that he had some tricks up his sleeve!
¡°1527, 1528, what are you staring at? Quickly,e and help!¡± Pan Dalong shouted at the other two cellmates who were watching them.
These cellmates were his followers and were both pretty good at fighting. They were always obedient to him.
¡°Understood!¡± 1527 and 1528 responded and charged forward.
The reason why Fang Shaohua never fought back against these people and allowed them to bully him as they pleased was because he had assumed that Fang Xinxin did not believe in him. Aside from visiting him once three years ago, she never came again.
Since then, he felt as though his heart had died. Hence, he became apathetic to the way they treated him.
But today, Xinxin told him that she absolutely believed in him.
Moreover, she was very concerned about the wounds on his face.
He would never go against her desires.
There was no way he would allow himself to be bullied again!
In the past, Fang Shaohua frequently participated in underground fighting matches. He was well trained and had no difficulties in beating Pan Dalong up. However, he would struggle if he had to face two other men concurrently.
To his surprise, 1527 and 1528 did not beat him up. Instead, they joined him to help beat Pan Dalong up.
¡°You¡¯ve gone mad! Why are you hitting me instead?¡± The three of them beat Pan Dalong up to the point where he was squealing in pain.
Fang Shaohua was smart and immediately recalled that Fang Xinxin had told him earlier that he would never be bullied again. He understood that Fang Xinxin must have bribed 1527 and 1528 to shift loyalties.
There was nothing in prison that could not be settled with money.
¡°I¡¯m going to turn you into a mute!¡± Fang Shaohua had absolutely zero tolerance for anyone who dared to speak poorly of Fang Xinxin. He held Pan Dalong¡¯s neck with one hand and repeatedly punched his mouth.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s fists gradually became battered and started bleeding from the collision. Despite this, he seemed to not feel any pain. He continued beating Pan Dalong up until most of his teeth fell out.
The prisoners in the cell next to theirs had gathered over at some point. When they saw Fang Shaohua going insane, their jaws fell open in shock.
Chapter 182: New Accommodation
Chapter 182: New Amodation
Some of them were d they had never bullied him, while the others who previously did, were all covered in cold sweat. They were deeply fearful that it would be their turn next.
This was the way the world worked, and especially so in prison. The weak were always afraid of the strong.
Pan Dalong spat out a mixture of blood, skin and teeth onto the ground.
One of the prisoners in the cell next to theirs counted his fallen teeth. ¡°Earlier, didn¡¯t Fang Shaohua say he would take out ten of his teeth? There are only eight there. There are still two missing.¡±
Fang Shaohua lifted his fist once more and Pan Dalong was frightened into kneeling down. He cried out unclearly. ¡°Boss, please let me off!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no point even if you beg for mercy. I¡¯m a man of my word.¡± Fang Shaohua sneered. ¡°I said I would take out ten of your teeth. There¡¯s no way I¡¯ll let you off easy.¡±
Pan Dalong shifted his mouth and quickly spat out two more teeth. ¡°There¡¯s enough... there¡¯s enough.¡±
Fang Shaohua, who was usually soft-spoken, raised his voice. ¡°Would you dare run your mouth off like that again?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t dare, I won¡¯t dare...¡± Pan Dalong immediately lifted his arms and begged for mercy inartictely. ¡°The person who visited you is a goddess... a goddess who cannot be offended.¡±
A sharp whistling noise was heard. Two prison guards ran over to their side. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to fight here. All of you, kneel down and raise your arms.¡±
In this ce, it was inevitable that they had to lower their heads.
As a result, Fang Shaohua followed the order.
Pan Dalong was badly frustrated. ¡°Our fight has nearly ended. You¡¯re only showing up now...¡±
Fang Shaohua however, understood the situation. The prison guards must also have been bought over by Fang Xinxin.
Otherwise, there was no way they wouldn¡¯t have caught themotion earlier.
¡°Who was it that started the fight? You¡¯ll be put in detention!¡± One of the prison guards demanded sternly.
Pan Dalong pointed at Fang Shaohua. ¡°It was him!¡±
However, both 1527 and 1528 pointed at Pan Dalong. ¡°It was him.¡±
Pan Dalong was angered. ¡°The two of you! You took benefits from me yet you¡¯re siding with him?¡±
¡°When did we receive anything from you?¡± 1527 mocked him.
¡°Pan Dalong, to detention!¡± The prison guardmanded.
Pan Dalong had spat out all of the blood in his mouth. He could speak clearly now but continued lying through his non-existent front teeth. ¡°It was clearly Fang Shaohua who started this. I¡¯m going to sue you for practicing favouritism!¡±
¡°There are two witnesses who can prove that you started the fight.¡± The prison guard remained unfazed.
¡°There are so many people who can prove that Fang Shaohua beat me up first...¡± Pan Dalong pointed towards the crowd of prisoners watching them.
¡°We didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Everyone pretended as though this matter was unrted to them.
¡°Pan Dalong, you¡¯ll be caned if you continue resisting!¡± The prison guard snapped at him.
Pan Dalong finally understood that power had shifted onto Fang Shaohua¡¯s side. In order to prevent further suffering, he could only obediently head to detention.
The other prison guard said to Fang Shaohua, ¡°1529, collect your belongings ande with me!¡±
Everyone watched keenly as Fang Shaohua picked up his nket and followed the prison guard. They arrived at a single person¡¯s cell. It was equipped with a bed, a washroom, a toilet bowl, and even a small window.
The door was not made of bars but of stone. This meant that the prison guards could not see what he was doing from outside.
Sunlight filtered through the small window and lit up the entire room.
The moment they entered the room, the prison guard patted Fang Shaohua on the shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ve received orders from above to take good care of you. This single cell is specially assigned to you. In the future, this will be your room.¡±
To think that there would be sunlight in this gloomy ce. The room was positioned to face the south. Fang Shaohua sized up his new ¡®amodation¡¯. Although the room was simple, it was significantly better than the six man cell he had endured previously.
He clearly understood that his current treatment was arranged by Fang Xinxin. However, he did not feel happy.
Chapter 183: Emergency Fund
Chapter 183: Emergency Fund
This was because he was worried that Xinxin had begged Bai Qinghao for his sake.
¡°Sir, who was the one who issued the order to take care of me?¡± Fang Shaohua asked him urgently.
¡°There¡¯s no harm in telling you this.¡± The prison guard did not hide it from him. ¡°It was the prison head.¡±
Fang Shaohua released a sigh of relief. It was good as long as it was unrted to Bai Qinghao.
He did not wish to owe a favour to anyone with the surname Bai.
He recalled that thewyer handling his case was Ji Shaohong. Aftering into prison, he had heard from other cellmates that Lawyer Ji was close friends with the prison head.
Xinxin had coincidentally hired Lawyer Ji. The man must have greeted the guards here on his behalf.
The prison guard said, ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need in the future, tell me. I¡¯ll bring it here for you. Your sister, Fang Xinxin, deposited three hundred thousand dors into your emergency fund. Even if you spend the remaining nine years of your sentence here, you¡¯ll have sufficient money to enjoy life.¡±
Fang Shaohua never expected his third sister to be this considerate. She had even taken his daily living needs into ount.
There was nothing one could not achieve here with money.
The prisoners, who could afford it, would even be allowed to smoke and eatvishly in here. The poor and starving prisoners, on the other hand, could only pick up the used cigarette stubs from the ground to smoke secretly.
Anything was possible as long there was enough money in the emergency fund. Of course, the prices in here were ten times that of the prices outside.
For example, a packet of cigarettes that cost a dor outside would be for ten dors in here.
Their spending would be directly subtracted from their emergency funds.
Of course, this was not officially allowed. The people smuggling the things in here were shouldering the risks for them, and naturally, that made the goods more expensive.
Three hundred thousand... Xinxin had given him too much.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart had been nearly barren for three years, but right now, it was filled with warm emotions. His gloomy life seemed to regain its light because of her...
...
After leaving the ce, Lawyer Ji returned to his office while Fang Xinxin headed off to a private house located in an old street in the city centre.
After turning around several corners, she knocked on the door with a certain rhythm. A man around the age of forty opened the door. His appearance was mediocre. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±
¡°Everything will turn out for the best.¡± She answered with the code she knew.
The man sized her up for a moment. ¡°Come in.¡±
It was extremely dark inside the private house. The curtains were drawn tightly despite it being broad daylight.
In her previous life, after her marriage, she had coincidentally heard Bai Qinghao¡¯s conversation with his subordinates. He had mentioned an underground organisation: Hei Xiao.
This organisation was involved with both sides of the world. They were well-informed, organised and ruthless.
Be it looking for missing people, assassinations or creating various types of idents... as long as one had sufficient money and offered a good sum, there was almost nothing Hei Xiao could not aplish for them.
Furthermore, this organisation was extremely loyal and never disclosed information about the people who employed their services. However, they had one w. They only epted clients introduced by people who knew them well. Furthermore, the boss epted the task based purely on his whims.
The code that she shared earlier indicated she had been sent here by someone who knew them.
In the dark room, a blonde, handsome foreigner in his twenties sized her up. He addressed her in Chinese fluently. ¡°Fang Xinxin, neen years old. The third youngdy of the Fang Group. Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± He would have never expected her toe knocking at their doors.
¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xinxin was not surprised by his words. After all, organisations that could be noticed by Bai Qinghao had to be very capable.
The blonde foreigner asked her in a straightforward manner. ¡°What are you here for?¡±
Fang Xinxin recalled the moment from three years ago, when Bai Chenxi asked her out to have supper. At that time, in that crowded food street, she had bumped into someone and her phone had been stolen.
Chapter 184: Looking For The Phone Thief
Chapter 184: Looking For The Phone Thief
She closed her eyes and recalled the moment she was bumped into, retrieving the memories of the man who had stolen her phone. ¡°Can I borrow a pen and a paper?¡±
The handsome foreigner handed her a ck pen and an A4 size paper.
Fang Xinxin received it and held the pen to quickly sketch the man¡¯s appearance on the white paper. It was a young man with a heart-shaped jawline. He had been wearing a ck scarf and a cap at the time.
After a couple of minutes, she finished her sketch and handed it to the blonde foreigner. ¡°I¡¯m looking for this man.¡±
¡°Who is he? How is he rted to you?¡± The blonde handsome man was extremely curious. He took in the sketch and praised her. ¡°You drew it so well on paper. It feels like he could leap out of the drawing anytime. It seems like your drawing skills are really strong!¡± She wasn¡¯tpletely useless.
Fang Xinxin nced at him. ¡°I thought underground organisations disliked asking questions? Your second question doesn¡¯t seem rted to the ¡®task¡¯ I have for you.¡±
¡°My name is Ya Lun.¡± The blonde, handsome foreigner smiled radiantly and then shared his English name with her. ¡°You can just call me Aaron.¡±
¡°All right. Handsome Brother Ya Lun.¡± Fang Xinxin rubbed her temples. ¡°Since your Chinese is good, there¡¯s no need for you to put on airs.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Ya Lun continued smiling radiantly as he responded in Chinese. He even winked at her. If he took it a step further, his bright, straight teeth would be radiating light.
¡°Beautiful, I¡¯m the second-inmand of Hei Xiao. I¡¯m handsome and cool, elegant and intelligent. Most normal people wouldn¡¯t even get to know my name. I¡¯m making an exception by being friends with you. That should be a sufficient reason for you to answer my questions, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°As if people like you would make friends.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled as well. ¡°But, I¡¯ll give you some face since you called me beautiful.¡±
She had heard too many people calling her ugly and fat. Even though Ya Lun¡¯s ¡®beautiful¡¯ did not have any sincerity in it, she was still pleased by the sound of it. ¡°Let me tell you, he is a thief. Three years ago, he stole my phone.¡±
Ya Lun naturally knew she would not be looking for someone because of a lost phone. ¡°The reason you¡¯re looking for him?¡±
This time, she was the one sizing him up curiously. ¡°I heard that Hei Xiao is efficient and ruthless when ites to handling tasks and they rarely waste their breath on other things. Why doesn¡¯t that seem to be the case?¡±
¡°We don¡¯t bother wasting our salivas with other people. But when ites to a beautiful woman...¡± Ya Lun put on an amiable expression. ¡°I¡¯m still willing to know more about her and be her friend.¡±
Fang Xinxin took in his probing gaze. ¡°I think the person you¡¯re looking to make friends with is Bai Qinghao.¡±
Ya Lun was caught off guard. He had not expected her to be this sharp. If this went on any further, he would give himself away. Thus, he appeared unmoved as he smiled. ¡°It¡¯ll naturally be a good thing to make friends with Bai Qinghao. I wonder if the Third Fang Lady is willing to introduce us?¡±
¡°No.¡± She did not wish for the powerful and noble Bai Qinghao to interact with this sort of organisation. It would be troublesome if they caused problems for Bai Qinghao. ¡°Are you willing to ept this deal?¡±
As long as they found the thief and asked about the true instigator from three years ago, they would be able to obtain the truth about her brother¡¯s ident.
¡°Of course.¡± Ya Lun scanned the paper onto hisptop. It immediately began matching appearances based on his database. However, he continued asking lightly. ¡°Do you have other information about this man?¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°I only have this sketch.¡±
Ya Lun noticed the main point. ¡°Miss Fang, your memory is really amazing. It¡¯s already been three years and you barely brushed shoulders with this man. Yet, you were still able to draw out such an impable sketch. It seems like you are able to perfectly recall everything you have seen!¡±
Chapter 185: A Needle In A Haystack
Chapter 185: A Needle In A Haystack
Indeed, Fang Xinxin had the ability to recall everything she had ever seen.
She was not surprised that he noticed this trait of hers. There was no way he could have be Hei Xiao¡¯s second-inmand without keen observation skills.
The search on hisptop was sessful and the man¡¯s picture was erged on the screen, alongside his information. Wang Liangping, male, twenty-six years old, 1.75 metres tall, sixty-five kilograms, unemployed, born in XX City...
¡°It¡¯s him.¡± Fang Xinxin confirmed.
Ya Lun retrieved the information regarding Wang Liangping¡¯s recent actions. ¡°Prior to this, he lived in the city centre. Unfortunately, three days ago, he left the country. He is in Mysia now, although his visit isn¡¯t officially recorded.¡±
She furrowed her brows. Was this a coincidence? Or did the person, who initially hired Wang Liangping, suspect she would try and overturn the case and intentionally sent him away?
She said decisively, ¡°I need you to bring him back. What¡¯s the price?¡±
This organisation went by a fixed fee for every task. They did not like to haggle.
¡°Aside from this, you won¡¯t need us to do anything else?¡± Ya Lun lifted his brows.
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± As long as they caught the man, she had her own ways of making Wang Liangping confess the identity of the man behind the scenes.
¡°Wang Liangping wasst seen in Ku Lumpur, Mysia. Looking for a man abroad is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. It will take us some time.¡±
Fang Xinxin left the payment and her contact details behind. She then left the Hei Xiao organisation and arrived at Ming Da Law Corporation.
Just as her brother had told her, the document her father and brother prepared prior to their idents were here. ording to the contract, after her brother became the director of the Fang Group, half of thepany¡¯s profit belonged to her, Fang Xinxin, while the other half belonged to her brother. If her brother did not abide by the contract, she, Fang Xinxin, would immediately inherit the Fang Group.
As the Fang family¡¯s adopted son, her elder brother had received half of the Fang group.
Her second sister, Fang Manxue, was also her father¡¯s daughter. Moreover, her father had spent his whole life loving her mother. Why didn¡¯t he leave anything for the two of them?
Her father¡¯s love for her mother was as deep as the ocean. There were no other possible exnations. He must have noticed that something amiss with the two of them.
She recalled a memory from when she was young.
¡°Xinxin ah, Daddy loves you the most!¡± At the time, her father had been young. He had lifted her small figure up and pressed a loving kiss against her cheek.
She had innocently asked him. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t you love Big Brother and Second Sister?¡±
¡°I do.¡± Her father kissed her cheek again. ¡°But amongst all the children, Daddy loves you the most. In my heart, you are irreceable.¡±
¡°But I clearly heard you telling Mommy that you love her the most...¡±
¡°Silly child.¡± Her father hadughed and rubbed her small head. ¡°The way Daddy loves you and the way I love your mother is different.¡±
¡°Why is it different...¡±
¡°You¡¯ll understand when you grow older.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts returned to the present.
She had grown older and indeed came to understand why her father loved her the most.
Her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, was an adopted son. He did not share the same blood as the Fang family. Her Second Sister, Fang Manxue, on the other hand... was suspicious.
It was not just because Fang Manxue constantly targeted her. For the past three years, Fang Manxue did not visit their father even once. Was this how a blood-rted daughter was supposed to behave?
Something was also clearly suspicious about Fang Ln...
Fang Xinxin suddenly felt her back turning cold. There couldn¡¯t be any problems with Fang Ln. There couldn¡¯t be!
As Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts lingered on the possibility... her tears nearly welled up.
Perhaps, things were not as bad as she thought?
In any case, her top priority was to get her brother out of jail.
Chapter 186: The Victim
Chapter 186: The Victim
Fang Xinxin took a deep breath and started looking for a ce for dinner.
At eight in the evening, she went to the entrance of Di Hao Hotel and watched various guests go in and out of the building.
There was a sauna and footbath service on the lower floors of the hotel. Between the fifth to eighth floor was a karaokepany. A restaurant was operating on the ninth floor and from the tenth floor onwards, it was furnished with the hotel¡¯s guest rooms. This hotel offered every entertainment avenue that one could possibly need.
But, they were best known for their professional escorts. Thedies working here were all beautiful and had seductive figures.
She recognised the guests, who came to unt their money, with one nce. The escortdies were also easy to recognise. Their make up was thick and their looks were seductive. They entered and left the hotel in pairs and groups.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin noticed twodies around the age of twenty. She went around the various guests in the lobby and rushed to call out to the one who was wearing a short skirt. ¡°Sun Fangfang!¡±
She had seen her brother¡¯s criminal records. She had looked into the victim, Sun Fangfang¡¯s background.
Prior toing here, she had hired a private investigator and learned that Sun Fangfang was currently working as an escort in this hotel.
Sun Fangfang¡¯s hair was dyed maroon and it was curled up into big waves resting around her face. She was both beautiful and charming. She turned to look at her in confusion. ¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not a bad person. You can call me Xinxin.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled disarmingly. ¡°I have something to ask you.¡±
¡°How would I have the time for that?¡± Sun Fangfang appeared impatient. ¡°I¡¯m at work right now. I¡¯m waiting to collect my earnings.¡±
Fang Xinxin generously responded. ¡°I¡¯ll pay you.¡±
¡°I charge a hundred and fifty dors for every guest that I entertain.¡± She was not lying about the amount.
¡°No problem.¡±
Sun Fangfang took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s branded outfit and felt that she looked harmless enough. She turned to the girl next to her. ¡°Xiao Li, there¡¯s money for me to collect here without even working. I won¡¯t escort anyone for tonight.¡±
¡°Alright. Be careful though!¡± Thedy named Xiao Li headed into the hotel on her own.
Sun Fangfang scanned the hotel entrance. ¡°Xinxin, where¡¯s your car?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have a car.¡± She had earned quite some money, but had yet to buy a car.
Sun Fangfang sized her up. ¡°You don¡¯t even have a car. How did youe to this hotel? Do you live nearby? Look at you. With your figure... it doesn¡¯t seem like you would work in our line.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled.
It seemed like there were benefits to having a face full of e and an overweight figure. At least men wouldn¡¯t mistake her for being a prostitute. No one would find her current figure attractive.
Fang Xinxin was not upset that the other party had judged her by her appearance. ¡°I live quite far from here. I walked over. I¡¯m trying to lose weight right now. Normally, if the distance is manageable and I¡¯m not in a rush, I travel on foot. I can lose weight faster this way.¡±
¡°You¡¯re so fat. It¡¯s true that you should be losing weight. Otherwise, you may frighten all the men away.¡± Sun Fangfang held her palm out. ¡°To prevent you from fooling me and wasting my night, I¡¯m collecting my money first.¡±
Fang Xinxin brought out three hundred dors of cash from her wallet.
Sun Fangfang received the money and quickly thumbed through it. She knew without even counting. ¡°Three hundred dors. You¡¯re quite generous. Come on. We¡¯ll go drinking. It¡¯s your treat. But, we¡¯ll take my car. I can¡¯t possibly walk that far. ¡±
Fang Xinxin climbed aboard Sun Fangfang¡¯s base model of BMW.
These days, people, who were good at their jobs, were all wealthy. They owned luxury cars and were dressed in branded goods from head to toe.
Sun Fangfang parked her car outside a bar named, ¡®Pleasure¡¯, and brought Fang Xinxin in along with her.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin had read about this bar in the newspaper. It was famous for charging exorbitant prices to scam money from its clients.
Chapter 187: Sun Fangfang’s Pain
Chapter 187: Sun Fangfang¡¯s Pain
This hotel was doomed to be shut down by official authorities in three months.
But right now... it was thriving!
Fang Xinxin noticed something to be amiss, but for the sake of her brother, she followed Sun Fangfang into a booth.
A waiter handed over the menu to them. Fang Xinxin nced at it casually and noticed that the fees were three times that of normal bars. She sneered lightly.
Sun Fangfang noticed her mocking smile but did not look embarrassed. ¡°The prices here are a little high. But as you know, I¡¯m out here trying to make a living. I have to pay for my clothes, make-up and car. My expenses aren¡¯t less. Since you need something from me, doesn¡¯t that mean you¡¯re asking a favour from me? You can consider this a way of supporting me financially.¡±
Aside from providing escorting services, she had many other methods to make money. Whenever she brought someone to this bar, they would give her amission.
Fang Xinxin recognised Sun Fangfang¡¯s tricks and responded generously. ¡°Order whatever you like.¡±
¡°You¡¯re that generous?¡± Sun Fangfang was not one to stand on ceremony. ¡°In that case, give us the three thousand dors set with the premium red wine.¡±
¡°Your orders will be here shortly.¡± The service staff here was extremely efficient. Within a few minutes, four bottles of red wine, one te of fruit and various nuts and cold dishes were served at their table.
Most of the clients never returned here after visiting once. Their business was extremely poor.
In the entire bar, there were only four tables of clients. Soft music could be heard from the stage and it was apanied by a gloomy atmosphere.
Sun Fangfang picked up the cigarette box that came along with their food. She took a cigarette out and lit it. ¡°What is it you need? Go ahead and ask. Since you spent so generously, I¡¯ll share openly about everything I know.¡±
In that case, she would go straight to the point. ¡°I wish to know about the matter that happened three years ago, when Fang Shaohua raped and injured you. What exactly happened that night?¡±
Sun Fangfang paused in her movement of bringing the cigarette to her lips. ¡°You can ask about everything but that.¡±
Fang Xinxin brought out a stack of cash and ced it on the table. ¡°Do you feel like answering yet?¡±
¡°No.¡± Sun Fangfang only took a nce at the cash.
Fang Xinxin ced another stack of cash on the table. ¡°What about now?¡±
She hesitated for a moment. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to say.¡±
Fang Xinxin added two more stacks. ¡°There¡¯s six thousand dors here. You should be ready to speak now.¡±
Sun Fangfang¡¯s heart was moved. She saw that Fang Xinxin was generous and suddenly, she wanted to earn more. ¡°It¡¯s not enough.¡±
¡°Not enough?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°It¡¯s not as if no one in the world knows about what happened to you back then. I think, if it were anyone else, a few hundred dors would be more than enough to get them to speak up. Since this is not enough for you, I¡¯ll ask someone else. As a person, you should know your limits!¡±
The reason she looked for Sun Fangfang was because she felt that other people¡¯s observation could notpare to the victim¡¯s personal experiences. Most importantly, she needed Sun Fangfang¡¯s help...
She moved her hand to take away the stacks of money on the table.
But Sun Fangfang rushed forward to snatch the money and shoved it into her bag. ¡°I¡¯ll speak, I¡¯ll speak. Even if you have to tear open my scars for this, this much money is more than enough to make up for my wounds.¡±
¡°In that case, I want you to tell me every single detail about everything that happened between you and Fang Shaohua that night.¡±
Sun Fangfang recalled her memories. ¡°My family is poor. At the age of seventeen, I had toe out and work as an escort. Three years ago, I was only eighteen years old. At the time, through the escortingwork, I came to know of a man named Wang Youhui. He often employed my services and I slowly came to know through him that he was a business partner of the Fang Group. One night, Fang Shaohua invited Wang Youhui out to drink. Wang Youhui asked me to sit with him. That night, Wang Youhui and I both drank a lot. We were both nearly unconscious. Fang Shaohua, on the other hand, was fairly sober.¡±
Chapter 188: A Virgin
Chapter 188: A Virgin
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°When we were drinking in the private room, everything seemed to be proceeding normally. However, Fang Shaohua refused to sing. Wang Youhui also tried several times to order an escort for him but he kept refusing. Although Fang Shaohua didn¡¯t ruin the atmosphere in the room, he was clearly different from Wang Youhui. He appeared to be very proper and well behaved. Wang Youhui even told me that Fang Shaohua was a gentleman. He controlled his drinking intake, had good alcohol tolerance and a good taste in drinks. Whenever he visited these sort of ces, he never asked for an escort. Additionally... Wang Youhui also said Fang Shaohua was a virgin.¡±
Sun Fangfang pulled in a drag of the cigarette. ¡°As you know, in our line, we¡¯re very superstitious at times. We believe that when you¡¯re unlucky, sleeping with a virgin man will improve your luck. In the private room, I gave Fang Shaohua several hints and tried to seduce him...¡±
She shrugged. ¡°With my appearance, most men would already have been hooked. I even hinted to Fang Shaohua that I would sleep with him without charging any money, yet he remained unmoved. I thought he was pretending to be proper. While Wang Youhui wasn¡¯t paying attention, I tried to make a move on Fang Shaohua. However, the moment I touched his clothes, he grabbed my wrist. The force he used and his fierce, unhappy gaze nearly frightened me to death. My wrist was bruised by him. It was clear that he was the ruthless sort.¡±
¡°The one thing that I don¡¯tck is men. It doesn¡¯t mean much to me if I get rejected by one handsome guy. If it wasn¡¯t because he was a virgin, I wouldn¡¯t have given him so much attention.¡±
Her gaze was mncholic. ¡°That night, after leaving the private room, Wang Youhui, Fang Shaohua and I all went our separate ways. During that period of time, I was staying in room 106 in Fu Chun hotel. I returned to my hotel and copsed on the bed. At some point in the night, I felt someone tearing my clothes apart and hitting me. I was in a lot of pain. Somehow, I managed to open my eyes and saw Fang Shaohua sitting on my bed.¡±
Her expression turned agitated. ¡°I tried to ask him what he was doing! But I fainted right after. The next morning, when I woke up, Fang Shaohua was on top of me. I realised that something was amiss and called the police.¡±
Sun Fangfang gritted her teeth in anger. Her expression also became enraged. ¡°You say, how perverted is Fang Shaohua? I offered myself to him without any charge yet he refused. Instead, he chose toe backter on and even used violence against me! If he had only harmed me physically, it would have been easily settled with money. But he actually caused me to lose the ability to have a child!¡±
She crushed the cigarette in the ashtray while it was half-burnt. ¡°Xinxin, was it? As a woman, if I told you that you¡¯ll never be a mother for the rest of your life, and you¡¯ve lost your ability to rear a child, wouldn¡¯t you be angry? Wouldn¡¯t you hate him? Twelve years of jail is not enough for me. I wish I could kill him!¡±
Fang Xinxin quietly listened to her before bringing up her question. ¡°You said it yourself that Fang Shaohua refused your various attempts to seduce him. Perhaps he wasn¡¯t the man who harmed you?¡±
¡°How could that be true?¡± Sun Fangfang harrumphed. ¡°In this line, I¡¯ve seen all sorts of men. Some men simply dislike it when women take the initiative and enjoy using violence. Sometimes, the more proper they appear, the worst they are! Perhaps Fang Shaohua is exactly that type of a man!¡±
Chapter 189: Who Else Could It Be?
Chapter 189: Who Else Could It Be?
¡°He isn¡¯t.¡±
¡°How can you be so sure?¡± Sun Fangfang looked at her with suspicion. ¡°Do you know Fang Shaohua personally?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not respond to her question. ¡°Think about it again carefully. Did any other man enter your room?¡±
Sun Fangfang raised her voice in agitation. ¡°Nooo! Stop arguing on behalf of Fang Shaohua. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I clearly saw him sitting on my bed. The next day, he was on top of me, buck naked. They even found his semen in my body. You say, if it wasn¡¯t him, who else could it be?¡±
Compared to her agitated state, Fang Xinxin remained unfazed. ¡°You also said that you werepletely drunk. How can you be so sure that the man who climbed on your bed was Fang Shaohua?¡±
¡°I saw his face and his clothes. It¡¯s him.¡±
¡°Then, are you able to confirm that there wasn¡¯t anyone else in your room? Did you check your surroundings?¡±
¡°In that state, it¡¯s good enough that I was able to get a clear look of Fang Shaohua. How could I possibly have the mind to check anything else?¡± Sun Fangfang sat back down and lit another cigarette. She took a puff in shakily and released a breath to ease her emotions.
¡°I visited Fang Shaohua in prison.¡± Before Fang Xinxin could finish, Sun Fangfang stood up. ¡°So you do know Fang Shaohua after all! Then there¡¯s nothing for us to discuss!¡±
¡°He pleaded his innocence for three years in jail. A few days ago, he tried tomit suicide.¡± Fang Xinxin said this intentionally.
¡°If I didn¡¯t visit him in time, he would have died. And it would have been a wrongful death.¡±
In fact, her brother did not insist upon his innocence. This was because even if he did so, no one in prison would have helped to overturn his case.
He also did notmit suicide.
The reason she said this was to invoke Sun Fangfang¡¯s sympathy.
As expected, Sun Fangfang¡¯s expression softened by a lot.
¡°I am Fang Shaohua¡¯s third sister, Fang Xinxin.¡± Fang Xinxin did not conceal her identity any longer. Sun Fangfang immediately stood up to leave.
¡°Since you¡¯ve epted my money, you should at least listen to what I have to say.¡±
Sun Fangfang sat back down. ¡°Fine, speak. Let me see how you n on arguing for your brother.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned mncholic. ¡°That night, after leaving the private room, my brother was a little affected by the alcohol. However, he still managed to return to the Fang home. He looked for me but I wasn¡¯t anywhere to be found. Afterward, he received a message from my phone asking him to pick me up at room 106 in Fu Chun Hotel. The moment he went to that room, a towel covered his nose and he lost consciousness. The next morning, when he woke up, he found himself on top of you. He didn¡¯t do anything to you. Someone had schemed against him.¡±
She then brought out a document from her bag. ¡°This is an official document from Ming Da Law Corporation. After my father fell into aa, the Fang Group was meant to be handed over to my brother. Someone did not wish for this to happen and intentionally schemed against him.¡±
Sun Fangfang flipped through the document. ¡°How would I know if this document was fabricated?¡±
¡°Ming Da Law Corporation¡¯s contact number is written at the top. You can give them a call, or make a personal visit to verify the authenticity of the document.¡±
Sun Fangfang was unfazed. ¡°So what if this document is real? They found traces of his semen in my body. The fact that someone was trying to stop him from taking over the Fang Group may not be rted to this matter.¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed out the weakness in the argument. ¡°You saw my brother sitting on your bed in the middle of the night, but you also said that you were very drunk and didn¡¯t notice if there were anyone else in the room. My brother, on the other hand, says he lost consciousness the moment he entered your room.¡±
Chapter 190: Afraid Of The Bai Family
Chapter 190: Afraid Of The Bai Family
¡°Someone must have held my brother¡¯s body up and hid behind him, so you could catch a glimpse of him. The reason the two of you were unclothed the moment you woke up was also to frame my brother formitting the crime. As for the traces of semen found in you...¡±
She was silent for a moment. ¡°Didn¡¯t my brother be unconscious the moment he entered the room? The person could have easily collected his semen and inserted it in your body with a syringe. This isn¡¯t a difficult thing to do.¡±
Upon hearing this, Sun Fangfang opened a bottle of red wine and filled a cup to the brim. She lifted it and chugged it down.
She then filled another two sses, handing one to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Are you drinking?¡±
Fang Xinxin held the cup and took a sip from it.
Sun Fangfang nced at her. Although she was covered in ugly e, her movements were graceful. ¡°You¡¯re indeed a wealthy youngdy. Even the way you drink wine appears much more sophisticated than people like me.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not bother to exin the Fang family¡¯s circumstances.
After all, every family had its own difficulties.
Soft, jazz music filled the bar and could be heard clearly from where they sat. Still, the space was rtively quiet.
After a moment of silence, Sun Fangfang spoke up again. ¡°In fact, after the incident, the police checked the surveince cameras records in my hotel. Three days before the incident, aside from room service staff, no one else entered my room. Previously, whenever I slept with any men, they always booked a room separately.¡±
¡°Although the files indicate that the official authorities had seen the surveince cameras records for three days before the incident, the records prior to that arepletely gone. Do you think this is a coincidence?¡± Fang Xinxin sighed.
¡°If they really wanted to scheme against my brother, and to pull you down with him, it was a simple feat for them to hide in your room three days prior. All they had to do was hide under your bed. It¡¯s not difficult tomit the act when you hold all the cards.¡±
Sun Fangfang lit another cigarette shakily and could not help but agree with her. ¡°It is somewhat suspicious.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her and suddenly said, ¡°I know that you suffered serious harm. All you have to do is provide a different statement and say that the man you saw that night was not my brother. If you say that you had slept with my brother willingly... He will be released immediately. You can name whatever price you like aspensation.¡±
Since the matter could not be resolved immediately, this was the fastest way to save her brother.
Sun Fangfangughed, but her smile was miserable and enraged. ¡°You Fang family, you¡¯re trying to suppress me with money, aren¡¯t you? Will money bring back my ability to conceive? It can¡¯t. Yes, I do love money. But money can¡¯t solve everything! It¡¯s been three years. I¡¯m fairly sessful now. I¡¯ve bought a house and a luxury car. I don¡¯tck anything. But every single day, I have to force myself to smile. I¡¯m living a life far worse than death. In the future, when I¡¯m old, I won¡¯t have a child to send me away.¡±
Her gaze suddenly turned pleading. ¡°Miss Fang, I know that your second sister, Fang Manxue, is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Bai Qinghao is too powerful. If he interferes, your brother will definitely be fine. But I beg you not to interfere in this matter. As for the money... the money...¡±
She brought the six thousand dors she had taken earlier out of her bag and ced it on the coffee table. Her tears had welled up and rolled down her cheeks, smearing her thick makeup. ¡°I don¡¯t want this money anymore. You can have it back.¡±
She pointed to the food on the table. ¡°I¡¯ll pay for the food here. I won¡¯t ask you to pay for it. I¡¯m not afraid of the Fang family. I¡¯ve been in this line for a few years now. I also know a lot of influential people. But I¡¯m really afraid of the Bai family.¡±
Chapter 191: A Vegetable
Chapter 191: A Vegetable
¡°The abuse I endured and the permanent damage that my body suffered cannot be for nothing. If your brother was really wronged, overturn his case with proper evidence. Otherwise, I beg you to please let justice prevail in this matter. Don¡¯t bully a weak victim like me! I believe that rather than forcing me to give in, your brother would also prefer to have his name properly cleared. Otherwise, the shadow of his guilty sentence will never truly leave him.¡±
Sun Fangfang knew she had no way of preventing this. Thus, she appealed to the other party¡¯s logic and emotions both.
¡°Alright. I will look for concrete evidence.¡± Fang Xinxin was notpletely without conscience.
Since Sun Fangfang was begging her so sincerely, she would wait for Hei Xiao to bring that thief, Wang Liangping, back and to overturn the case through him.
¡°Since I¡¯ve already given the six thousand dors to you, hold onto it.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up and brought out another three thousand dors. She ced it on the coffee table. ¡°This is to settle the bill. You¡¯re working for this bar to bring customers here to be scammed for their money. At the end of the day, this is an illegal job. You¡¯ll escape unscathed if you stop now. But if you keep going on, sooner orter, you¡¯ll be locked up.¡±
Fang Xinxin had just stood up from the booth when she suddenly paused. ¡°Also, Fang Manxue is not Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I am.¡±
She knew without turning around that Sun Fangfang¡¯s expression was that of astonishment.
¡°In this world, there are many matters that are not as straightforward as they appear to be.¡± Fang Xinxin left these words behind and walked away.
Not as straightforward as you see...
Sun Fangfang deliberated over these words dazedly in the booth seat.
Could it be that the man, who had harmed her, wasn¡¯t Fang Shaohua?
...
Fang Xinxin returned to the Fang home. She had only just entered the living room when she received Fang Ln¡¯s reprimand. ¡°Xinxin, you damn brat! Where did you go? You actually dared to stay out for a night!¡±
¡°I went to visit Dad. I slept by his bedside the entire night.¡± Her icy cold gaze shifted onto Fang Ln¡¯s wrinkled, but attractive features. ¡°And, you owe me an exnation. For the past three years, why have you never paid a single cent for Dad¡¯s medical treatment?¡±
Fang Ln was not afraid to answer this question. ¡°Didn¡¯t your brother, Fang Shaohua, pay for it? Why would I make another payment?¡±
Three years ago, she had tried to withdraw the money that Fang Shaohua had paid for Long Yifan¡¯s treatment fees. Since the sum had been paid from Fang Shaohua¡¯s ount, if she withdrew that money, it would only return to his ount and not to her hands. Had this not been the case, she would already have taken the money out.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was stern. ¡°Does that mean you left my Dad alone and unattended for three years?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯ve been busy?¡± Fang Ln put on a helpless expression. ¡°After your dad and brother met with idents, the entire Fang family has been relying on me to survive. How could I possibly have had the time...¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. You were so busy you couldn¡¯t even make time for a hospital visit in the span of three whole years...¡±
Fang Ln lifted her well-groomed brows in unhappiness. ¡°How can you use such a sarcastic tone against me? I¡¯m your mom!¡±
¡°Are you?¡±
¡°Of course I am.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was open. ¡°I carried you for ten months in my womb.¡± She then put on a guilty look. ¡°Xinxin ah, I know that you¡¯re angry at me for not visiting your Dad. But... have you thought about it? You Dad is a vegetable. What¡¯s the point in me visiting him?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Manxue made her way down the stairs. ¡°Third Sister, as a child, how could you criticise your own mother?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Fang Manxue, do you also feel that there¡¯s no point in visiting your own father now that he is in aa?¡±
¡°If you mind it so much, at most, I¡¯ll go visit him one of the days.¡± Fang Manxue changed the topic and interrogated her. ¡°I haven¡¯t settled the bill with you! When Second Uncle offered to take you shopping, who asked you to buy something for me? I don¡¯t like any of the things that you chose!¡±
Chapter 192: A Single Cent
Chapter 192: A Single Cent
¡°You wasted three hundred thousand dors.¡± Fang Ln was angered to the point where it seemed like there were new wrinkles on her already aging face. ¡°Xinxin, Bai Qinghao¡¯s money has already been returned. Do you know howrge of a sum three hundred thousand dors is to the Fang family right now?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s mocking smile deepened. ¡°My father is on the hospital bed right now, but both of you are uninterested in his well being. Instead, you are clinging onto the matter of the three hundred thousand dor clothes, refusing to let go. All I did was buy some clothes for Fang Manxue, didn¡¯t I? Since our second uncle said he would pay, and agreed to buy them for Fang Manxue, what right do you have to criticise me?¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Ln was stifled with anger. ¡°You damn child! You wasted so much money, yet you¡¯re speaking as though you¡¯re in the right.¡±
¡°It¡¯s second sister¡¯s clothes that wasted your money. If you are looking for someone to reprimand, go ahead and reprimand her.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Mom, you buy the same make-up items that she buys. A few bottles of those alone add up to hundreds of dors. Even the cheapest clothes you have are in the range of multiple thousand dors. My dad¡¯s treatment fees and hospital care fee are less than a few thousand dors a month.¡±
Of course, that was only so in the previous hospital that he was in. It was cheap because it was a normal hospital.
Now that he was transferred to Jia Ya Hospital, and to the best room at that, the monthly fees would go up to several tens of thousand dors. However, she, Fang Xinxin, had money now. It was a small matter for her to manage her father¡¯s treatment fees on her own.
¡°Shouldn¡¯t women buy some good skincare for themselves?¡± Fang Ln red at her. ¡°Your mom isn¡¯t young anymore. If I don¡¯t take good care of my skin and put some effort into dressing well, I¡¯ll age very quickly.¡±
Are you my mom? Fang Xinxin sneered internally. As she took in Fang Ln¡¯s face, she felt she had nowhere to vent her anger. ¡°My dad made so much money for us previously, but it was used up by the two of you! If you hadn¡¯t done that, we would still be a wealthy family after returning the owed money to Bai Qinghao. I didn¡¯t tell you not to spend. But you should have put my dad¡¯s treatment on priority!¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Ln was unbearably angered. She refused to take this lying down. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just money? Bai Qinghao has more than enough of it. In fact, to Bai Qinghao, what we had isn¡¯t even worth a fart. You...¡±
Her tone became stern. ¡°You must look for Bai Qinghao and ask him to continue supporting the Fang family financially!¡±
¡°Continue supporting the Fang family? To let you and Fang Manxue get away with free benefits?¡± Fang Xinxin was angered to the point of wanting tough. ¡°And let that old gigolo, Long Yifan, join in?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin!¡±
Fang Ln and Fang Manxue both shouted at the same time.
If this had been in the past, this would have been sufficient to make her freeze.
However, the current Fang Xinxin was not affected by this in the slightest.
Since hard tactics wouldn¡¯t work, Fang Ln decided to use a soft one. She watched Fang Xinxin with loving eyes and spoke caringly. ¡°Xinxin ah, your second uncle is your elder. Even if he is living in the Fang family, how could you describe him that way?¡±
Fang Ln saw that she was silent and sighed. ¡°Even if your second sister and I spent your father¡¯s money, I¡¯m your father¡¯s wife. Manxue is his daughter. There¡¯s nothing wrong about us using his money. You are also part of the Fang family. You have responsibility to shoulder the Fang family¡¯s honor and disgrace, prosperity and decline. The current Fang family really cannot suffer the withdrawal of Bai Qinghao¡¯s financial support. Do you mean to say that you can bear to watch the Fang family go into a decline?¡±
Her second uncle, her second sister... and the ¡®birth¡¯ mother standing in front of her. Whether or not these people were her rtives was still an unanswered question. Fang Xinxin decided that she needed to conduct a DNA test for every member in this family!
Fang Xinxin waved her hand uncaringly. ¡°Mom, no matter how much glory the Fang family has enjoyed, or how much money Bai Qinghao has given to the Fang family, for the past seven years, you have never given me a single cent.¡±
Chapter 193: His Treasure
Chapter 193: His Treasure
She sat down on the couch and took a bottle of water out of her bag. She took a sip and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s not my problem whether or not the Fang family spirals down. A portion of the money that Dad made, belongs to me. Since you wiped out the Fang family¡¯s ounts, return my share to me first.¡±
She would not allow the Fang family any more opportunities to rely on the Bai family.
¡°The money is already gone.¡± And her portion added up to millions of dors. Fang Ln¡¯s loving expression nearly fell apart. ¡°How am I supposed to find so much money for you?¡±
¡°Then quit being shameless and stop telling me to ask the Bai family for money. If you have the ability, go ask him yourself.¡±
Fang Ln controlled the urge to p Fang Xinxin but her tone became harsh again. ¡°Bai Qinghao only gives you face. If he listened to my requests, would I still look for you?¡±
¡°Then quit dreaming about the Bai family¡¯s money.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°If you have the ability, go earn it yourself.¡±
¡°You... you¡¯re driving me mad with anger. I already told you money is hard to make these days!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s chest was aching after arguing with her. ¡°You unfilial daughter!¡±
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to her flushed, angered expression. She finished the bottle of water in a few gulps.
¡°Mom, mom, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Fang Manxue immediately patted her mother¡¯s back lightly.
She red at Fang Xinxin, who was seated on the couch in front of her. ¡°Third Sister, look how much you have agitated mom. We¡¯re a family. We share the same blood. Money isn¡¯t important. We can¡¯t carry it with us when we leave this world. You should stop being so petty in your behavior.¡±
¡°You¡¯re asking me not to be petty...¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was scathing. ¡°You were the ones who wanted to settle the debt with me the moment I came home.¡±
¡°All right, all right.¡± Fang Ln appeared to have made a decision. ¡°Let¡¯s forget about the three hundred thousand dors that you wasted.¡±
Shuhai had asked Bai Qinghao for a refund but was promptly shut down. He did not receive even a single cent from him. Originally, she wanted to ask this brat to request for double the amount from Bai Qinghao. However, from the look of things, it was unlikely that they would seed.
Fang Xinxin, the wench, was behaving so strangely. Why did it seem like she had be a different person?
Ln¡¯s sharp gaze shifted onto the fat figure on the couch. Her eyes held suspicion in them.
¡°In the future, let¡¯s get along well as a family.¡± Fang Manxue yed the role of a mediator.
Fang Xinxin did not bother to respond to them. She stood up and went to the second floor. She walked into the new room assigned to her.
Since she now had a room, she would not torture herself by returning to that old storage ce.
Fang Manxue watched her walk away and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t you feel that Fang Xinxin has lost some weight?¡±
¡°She does seem thinner.¡± Fang Ln narrowed her eyes. ¡°Look at her clothes. The branded stuff that Bai Qinghao bought her seems to have be looser.¡±
¡°The damn wench is trying hard to lose weight.¡± Fang Manxue deliberated over it. ¡°We can¡¯t let her be any thinner!¡±
It had been some time since the wench took the drugs. She needed to find an opportunity to make her have some.
Fang Ln patted Fang Manxue on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Bai Qinghao will definitely be yours.¡±
...
The moon was charmingly bright tonight.
Fang Xinxin rested in her room for a while. When she came downstairs again, Fang Manxue and Fang Ln were no longer there.
She headed to the Fang family¡¯s backyard and stood in front of arge tree nted next to the fence.
Fang Shaohua had mentioned that he saved a sum of money for her. He had left the card in the box under the tree.
Once, when they were young, she saw her elder brother digging out a tin box from this exact ce. She had asked him what it contained.
Her elder brother had told her that the little box under the tree held all his treasures.
Chapter 194: Buried Memories
Chapter 194: Buried Memories
Fang Xinxin lifted a shovel and began digging. She quickly discovered a ck stic bag.
She ced the shovel aside and opened the bag. Inside, there was a small, square tin box. As it had been many years, the box was slightly rusty.
She applied some force to open the tin box and saw that it contained a y doll of a little boy, a wind chime, a toy car around five centimetres wide... adding it all up there were ten different little toys.
There were also several photos she took with her brother when they were young.
On the bottom of the box was a bank card.
She picked up the doll...
It was so familiar.
She suddenly recalled that once, when she was young, she had gone shopping with her mother and bought this doll for her brother with her own pocket money.
Her thoughts drifted back to those days.
At the time, she had been around five to six years old. She had handed the toy to Fang Shaohua, who was six years older than her. ¡°Big Brother, look, this doll looks so much like you. I bought it as a present for you.¡±
¡°Thank you, Xinxin. I really like it.¡± Fang Shaohua had been nearly eleven at the time, and had received the doll with an adorable smile.
¡°This doll was really expensive. It was a dor and fifty cents.¡± Little Xinxin had lowered her head to count with her fingers. ¡°I lost three ice creams for it. It was all the money I had...¡±
¡°Big Brother will give you eight dors.¡± Fang Shaohao immediately brought out the notes for her.
¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re the best!¡± She had jumped on the spot and ran off to buy snacks. After taking a few steps, she had turned around and stumbled back to him. She had then requested bashfully. ¡°Eight dors is too much. It¡¯s better if you give me a dor fifty. Mom says that I¡¯m too young. If I have too much money with me, bad people will try to fool me and take it away from me.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s young face had been filled with warm, sunshine-like doting. ¡°It¡¯s all right. Big Brother trusts that Xinxin will hold onto the money well. It¡¯ll be fine as long as you don¡¯t tell mom.¡±
¡°Alright. Let¡¯s cross our pinky fingers. You can¡¯t tell mom you gave me eight dors, ok?¡± She had lifted her small pinky finger.
¡°Okay.¡±
In their childhood, whenever Fang Xinxin lifted her head to look at her brother, he seemed to be very tall. She had always felt that his gaze was especially warm.
That day, she had bought him a doll and received eight dors from him.
It was more than enough for her to buy a lot of snacks. Thus, for a period of time, whenever she was running out of pocket money, she would use a few dors to buy little gifts for her brother.
She would then stare at him with her big eyes.
Her brother would always be happy and ended up giving her a lot of money.
By the time their mother realised this, she had already bought ten different gifts for her brother.
Their mother had reprimanded both of them firmly. She had told him that it wasn¡¯t good to let her have too many snacks because it would affect her growth. She had also scolded Fang Xinxin for being greedy.
Since then, the obedient girl rarely bought any more gifts for her brother.
She would have never expected that her brother had cherished and saved all those gifts in this little box.
Her brother must have felt that those memories were too humourous and decided to treasure the gifts she gave him.
Fang Xinxin returned to the present and put the things back in the tin box. She only took the bank card that Fang Shaohua prepared for her.
She ced the tin box in the ck stic bag and buried it in its original ce.
She covered it with soil evenly and returned it to its original appearance.
After she left, Fang Xinxin sneakily walked up to the ce where she had stood.
Fang Xinxin watched Fang Manxue dig the box out to rummage through it. As expected, she didn¡¯t find anything useful in there. Fang Manxue furrowed her brows and buried the box back in the ground.
Chapter 195: An Old Man Is Supporting Xinxin (Part 1)
Chapter 195: An Old Man Is Supporting Xinxin (Part 1)
At night, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai could only have deep fried fritters, deep fried chicken and deep fried rice... and other fried food for dinner.
Xinxin wanted to lose weight and went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for herself.
While cooking, she intentionally went out of the kitchen to give Fang Manxue a chance to spike her food with the weight gain drug.
However, for some reason, Fang Manxue did not make her move.
The next day, Fang Xinxin made arrangements online to meet a middle-aged man by the name of Kong Zhiming. She left the house and took a cab to a vi at Qian Shan Wan. She spent around an hour in the Kong family¡¯s home.
Post that, Kong Zhiming personally walked out with her to the vi¡¯s entrance.
As she made her away across the road, she suddenly noticed Fang Manxue¡¯s Ferrari parked nearby.
Very good! This Fang Manxue was stalking her.
Fang Xinxin pretended not to have noticed it. She visited the nearest bank and approached a staff member at one of the counters. She brought out the card that Fang Shaohua had left for her and checked its bnce.
Just as her brother had mentioned, there were a million dors in it.
This sum was the entirety of her brother¡¯s savings. She could not ept it.
However, with his personality, even if she tried to return it to him, he would not take it back.
Sigh! She would find a different way and give him a ¡®gift¡¯.
She stepped out of the bank and took a cab to a famous propertypany. Under the guidance of a property agent, she spent the entire day viewing eight different apartments.
Finally, in the evening, she took a liking to a new apartment in the Hong Sheng district.
The Hong Sheng district was a typical residential area. The apartments had already been renovated and were priced at ten thousand dors per square metre. In less than half a year, the price would rise to fifteen thousand dors and more.
It was a ready to move-in, eighty five metres square apartment. After adding up the agent¡¯smission fee, its cost came up to one million dors.
Furthermore, for the sake of pushing the sales, the developer was gifting all the necessary furniture to each apartment. Of course, these furniture pieces were not especially luxurious and were from regr household brands.
She paid the entire sum for the apartment immediately and assigned its ownership to Fang Shaohua.
She noticed that Fang Manxue was especially patient and had followed her for the entire day.
An idea came to her and she handed the property agent, Liu Ling, some money. After saying a few words to her, she left.
After leaving the ce, she went around the corner and looked back. As expected, Fang Manxue immediately went into the building that she had just exited.
When Fang Manxue stepped back out, her face was filled with excitement.
Fang Xinxin sighed. It seemed like her second sister was nning to scheme against her yet again.
By the time she returned to the Fang home, it was already dinner time. As per norm, there were eight different deep fried dishes on the dining table.
Fang Xinxin noticed that Fang Ln and Long Shuhai were seated at the dining table. She intentionally looked around before asking the two of them. ¡°Why don¡¯t I see my second sister?¡±
Long Shuhai carelessly responded. ¡°She must have gone out to y. She hasn¡¯te home yet.¡±
¡°I¡¯m home!¡± FangManxue entered the Fang Family¡¯s living room in a happy mood.
¡°Speak of the devil.¡±
Fang Ln asked her in concern. ¡°You were out for the entire day, Manxue. Where did you go?¡±
¡°Oh, I just went to y golf with my ssmates.¡±
Fang Xinxin raised her brows. She clearly did not believe her. ¡°It¡¯s so hot today. Second sister, aren¡¯t you afraid of burning your skin? This doesn¡¯t seem like something you would do.¡±
Fang Manxue looked a little awkward for a moment before she regained her normal expression. ¡°Absorbing some sunlight once in a while is good for both heart and body. By the way, when is Bai Qinghaoing over?¡±
¡°How would I know?¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged.
¡°Didn¡¯t he say that he woulde see you?¡± Fang Manxue could not wait to tell him her ¡®good news¡¯.
Chapter 196: An Old Man Is Supporting Xinxin (Part 2)
Chapter 196: An Old Man Is Supporting Xinxin (Part 2)
¡°He didn¡¯t give me a specific date or time.¡±
Fang Manxue picked up her chopsticks to eat. She scanned the various fried dishes on the table with a disgusted expression. ¡°Deep fried food every single day, and it¡¯s always these few dishes. I feel like vomiting!¡±
¡°True.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was simr to hers. ¡°There¡¯s no nutrition in these dishes and they are fattening!¡±
Long Shuhai also grumbled in displeasure. ¡°I¡¯m also sick of this food. Just the sight of them makes me nauseous. Xinxin, why don¡¯t you ask Bai Qinghao to stop making us eat these?¡±
The three of them were only allowed to eat these things for the next three months. Bai Qinghao had even assigned a maid from Yu Ting Vi, Ji Qing, to monitor the food they ate. As a result, these were really the only items that they could eat.
Originally, Long Shuhai had nned to secretly buy food from outside. But to his surprise, when he brought out his wallet, the shop owner told him he could have whatever he wanted free of charge.
He had be immediately suspicious. How could there be such a good thing?
In the end, after asking around, he learned that news had spread around about the contract that the three of them had signed.
Sheng Shi Group had issued a statement that, if the three of them bought any food outside, as long as the shop owners handed over the receipts, they would be rewarded with seven hundred thousand dors each.
By now, most of the ces had received this information. Long Shuhai was struggling to guess which shops were still safe to visit.
Moreover, even the Fang family¡¯s staff would be rewarded if they reported seeing the three of them going against the contract.
As a result, the three of them were frightened into abiding by the contract.
¡°What¡¯s the point in my asking him?¡± Fang Xinxin refused to take responsibility. ¡°You were the ones who signed the contract. To be honest, redeeming that much money against three months of fried food is really quite a steal. You¡¯ll never be able to find such a deal anywhere else!¡±
¡°It¡¯s easy for you to say so.¡± Fang Manxue ced her chopsticks down in anger. ¡°This junk food is meant for poor people. We¡¯re used to high quality meals. It¡¯s fine if we have this for a day, but forcing me to eat this everyday is worse than death!¡±
¡°But in the past, you were the ones who made me eat these things everyday. It seems like I was a poor person in the past, then.¡± Fang Xinxin was really poor in her past life. Even the money Bai Qinghao gave her was sucked away by these greedy mosquitoes.
In this life, she would be a rich woman!
¡°Xinxin, mom was in the wrong in the past.¡± Fang Ln softened her attitude. ¡°Mom originally wanted to raise you to be well-fed. This is because I heard that a lot of wealthy families preferred their daughter-inws to have a big figure. This way, it¡¯s easier for them to give birth to children. I wanted you to put on some weight so that you¡¯ll be doted on by the Bai family. How would I have known that these fried dough, fried chicken and fried bread... would be so greasy? My intestines arepletely covered in oil now.¡±
She looked at Fang Xinxin with a pitiful expression. ¡°Mom had good intentions. I didn¡¯t expect that I made you suffer instead. This was all mom¡¯s fault. Please beg Bai Qinghao on our behalf. He will definitely release us from this harsh punishment if you ask him.¡±
¡°You have food to eat yet you call it a severe sentence.¡± Fang Xinxin remained unfazed. ¡°Since you know that you were in the wrong,plete your three months deal to prove that your regret is genuine.¡±
Fang Ln pped the table abruptly. ¡°At the end of the day, you¡¯re still unwilling to speak to Bai Qinghao for us!¡±
¡°Obviously.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Ln was going to lose her temper but was cut off by Long Shuhai. ¡°Sister-inw, forget it if the child is unwilling. Don¡¯t be angry. You¡¯ll harm your body.¡±
¡°Hu...¡± Fang Ln patted her chest lightly. Her eyes were wide with anger.
Chapter 197: Embarrassing Position In The Family
Chapter 197: Embarrassing Position In The Family
Fang Xinxin gazed at her in fascination. ¡°Mom, your nature wasn¡¯t like this before.¡±
In her memories, before she turned eleven, her mother always appeared to be a graceful and generous woman. She was never the kind to lose her temper. In fact, whenever Fang Xinxin interacted with her, she alway sensed the deep love her mother had for her.
This had always made her want to reciprocate the love her mother had for her, and to be filial to her.
As a result, right until thest moment in her previous life, she had been foolishly filial.
But, ever since she turned eleven...
Although her mother remained a graceful figure and maintained an amicable disposition, she also began deliberately harming her despite iming otherwise.
She changed overnight.
Or perhaps it would be more urate to say... she became a different person.
Fang Ln felt apprehensive when she saw Fang Xinxin¡¯s piercing gaze directed at her. However, on the surface, she grumbled. ¡°Isn¡¯t this all your fault? Xinxin, you¡¯ve always been obedient and filial. Mom¡¯s frame of mind was naturally good. There wasn¡¯t any reason for me to be upset. But you¡¯ve be more and more rebellious. How can I not worry or get angry?¡±
¡°In that case, it must still be my fault.¡± Fang smiled mockingly. She was toozy to listen to theirints. She turned and headed into the kitchen.
She rummaged through the refrigerator and found some lean pork meat, an egg and some vegetables.
These had been prepared for the helpers.
In the Fang home, helpers could not eat at the table with their employers. The Fang family¡¯s food was different from that which the helpers ate. Usually, they would bring the food to their rooms, or have it quickly in the kitchen.
Earlier, the Fang family¡¯s kitchen used to be stocked with all sorts of luxurious, delectable ingredients. However, now that the three of them could only have deep fried food, Fang Ln had ¡®gifted¡¯ away their remaining food.
She had been clearly afraid that Fang Xinxin would touch those expensive things, but her excuse was that she was saving money on future gifts.
Forget it...
In any case, she had enough money now. Moreover, she was trying to lose weight. Lean mean was suitable for her.
She had all the condiments that she needed. Fang Xinxin picked up the knife and cut the lean meat into strips. Then, she turned on the fire on the stove.
In the dining room, Fang Manxue nced toward the kitchen. ¡°Mom, that fattie is cooking again.¡±
Fang Ln pursed her slightly wrinkled lips in disdain. ¡°She¡¯s really wasting our food. If we don¡¯t give her anything, I bet this poor ghost would die of hunger.¡±
¡°We can¡¯t possibly stop her from having fresh meat and eggs.¡± Long Shuhai lowered his voice. ¡°In our current situation, we have to rely on her to return to our former glory.¡±
Fang Ln red at Fang Manxue. ¡°This is all your fault. Your figure is clearly a hundred times better than Fang Xinxin¡¯s. Your face is also a thousand times more attractive. It¡¯s been years. Why haven¡¯t you been able to seduce Bai Qinghao till now?¡±
¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to?¡± Fang Manxue was angered. ¡°You can¡¯t me me like this... as my mother... and you.¡±
She nced at Long Shuhai.
¡°As my...¡± she paused and swallowed herst few words down. ¡°The two of you should be helping me. How am I supposed to seed on my own?¡±
Fang Ln was frustrated. ¡°Haven¡¯t I been helping you all this time? I created so many opportunities for you. Look...¡± She lifted her injured left hand.
¡°For the sake of helping you, I epted a ¡®reward¡¯ from Bai Qinghao and suffered the blow of a bottle of red wine on my head. My injury still hasn¡¯t healedpletely.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t me your mother.¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s heart ached for Fang Ln. ¡°Manxue ah, previously, your mom found an opportunity and requested Bai Qinghao to end his engagement with Fang Xinxin. It was Bai Qinghao who was unwilling. Your mom has always been trying her best.¡±
¡°My mom has been putting in quite some effort, but you haven¡¯t done anything!¡±
Long Shuhai was helpless. ¡°That¡¯s because my position in the Fang family is too embarrassing...¡±
Chapter 198: Forget About The Contract
Chapter 198: Forget About The Contract
¡°Nevermind, forget about it.¡± Fang Manxue deliberated over her new scheme. ¡°Bai Qinghao will visit the Fang family often. I will have more than enough opportunities to be his woman.¡±
Her gaze shifted to the maid, Ji Qing, who was standing at the living room entrance.
Bai Qinghao had sent her to the Fang family to watch them.
But Ji Qing only paid attention to whether the three of themplied with their agreed diet. She didn¡¯t bother about anything else.
Fang Manxue shifted her gaze back to the kitchen. The scent of rice and cooked meat, which was wafting out, was extremely fragrant...
She swallowed her saliva.
She really wanted to spike Fang Xinxin¡¯s food with the weight drug at this moment.
Although Ji Qing was standing by the doorway, if she took a few steps from her position, she would be able to look into the kitchen through the window.
From her observations, this maid that arrived from the Yu Ting Vi had very sharp eyes.
If Fang Manxue was found spiking Fang Xinxin¡¯s food, and the matter was reported to Bai Qinghao, the consequences would be dire.
For the past few days, she had been resisting the urge to feed Fang Xinxin the drug.
Looking at Fang Xinxin earlier, she estimated that the woman had already lost around twenty catties. She was extremely depressed!
Fang Xinxin carried arge te of fried rice with lean pork to the living room. When she passed by the dining table, she noticed that the ten tes of fried food were mostly intact. The three of them had barely touched the food.
They must be nauseated by the sight of these dishes.
Fang Manxue nced at the simple fried rice tter which Fang Xinxin was holding. She really wanted to have some. ¡°Third sister, that¡¯s such arge te of food. Why don¡¯t you give me some?¡±
Normally, she would never eat something so simple. However, right now, she craved it so badly that she couldn¡¯t take her eyes away from it.
In fact, as long as it wasn¡¯t deep fried food, even if it was just a vegetable, she would eat it!
¡°No problem.¡± Fang Xinxin approached the dining table and filled Fang Manxue¡¯s bowl with some of her fried rice. ¡°Go ahead, second sister.¡±
Fang Manxue was about to move her chopsticks when Fang Ln spoke up. ¡°Wait.¡±
She then raised her voice to ask the maid, Ji Qing, who was standing by the doorway. ¡°Does it count as breaking the contract if we have the food Fang Xinxin gives us?¡±
¡°Zhang Yuanzhi has ordered that no matter where the food came from, as long as it isn¡¯t what was agreed on the contract, it would be a vition.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to abide by the contract anymore!¡± Fang Manxue could no longer endure this. She shouted loudly. ¡°The dishes are so oily. Even the rice has to be deep fried. Who can eat this continuously? Forget about the hundred million dors. I¡¯ll pay for it!¡±
Even if her mother had no money, both her mother and second uncle had been very generous when it came to her pocket money.
She had yet to use it and had enough private savings.
It was just that a hundred million dors was arge sum. Since they could avoid paying it by having three months of fried food, at the time, she had decided to stay silent on this matter.
Originally, she had thought that she would be able to secretly eat something else. She had never expected Bai Qinghao to dere that anyone who caught the three of them viting the contract would be rewarded!
As a result, the three of them lived under strict surveince everyday and did not have the courage to step out of the line.
Fang Xinxin felt her admiration for Bai Qinghao rise. He had easily made these three people, who were used to infinite luxury, agree to consuming garbage food for three months.
¡°Is the Second Fang Lady certain that she will not abide by the contract?¡± Ji Qing brought out her phone and began tapping a string of numbers.
¡°Wait, what are you doing?¡± Fang Manxue watched her movements warily.
¡°I am reporting to Zhang Yuanzhi that you do not n to abide by the contract anymore.¡±
¡°Yes. Tell him I¡¯ll transfer the remaining owed sum to the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s ount.¡±
Although Fang Manxue¡¯s heart ached with all that money flowing out, she would finally be able to have some good food after this. Health was much more important than money!
Chapter 199: The Man Who Alighted From The Helicopter (Part 1)
Chapter 199: The Man Who Alighted From The Helicopter (Part 1)
¡°As per ountant Zhang, this is not about the hundred million dors. As long as any of you dares to vite the contract, all three of you will immediately be sent to jail.¡± Ji Qing appeared confused. ¡°Didn¡¯t you read the contract?¡±
¡°How could I possibly be jailed!¡± Fang Manxue nearly lost her mind. She turned to Fang Xinxin and shouted in rage. ¡°Third sister, I¡¯m begging you, go and request Bai Qinghao to let go of this contract!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t! The ones who signed the contract have to take responsibility for it.¡± Fang Xinxin picked up her spoon and tucked into the fried rice on her te.
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s hair was nearly standing up due to anger. ¡°If you don¡¯t go, don¡¯t even think about eating our Fang family¡¯s food from now on!¡±
¡°You¡¯ve never earned a single cent of money. What right do you have to stop me from eating the Fang family¡¯s food?¡± Fang Xinxin asked calmly. She quickly finished her food and ced the te on the table.
¡°I may not have the right to do so, but Mom definitely does!¡± Fang Manxue turned to her mother. ¡°Mom!¡±
She originally thought her mother would stand on her side. To her surprise, her mother raised her voice and reprimanded her. ¡°Manxue, stopped throwing a tantrum. Xinxin is a part of the Fang family. She is your third sister. It¡¯s only natural for her to live and eat in the Fang home.¡±
She then gave Fang Manxue another look.
Fang Manxue immediately stopped talking.
Her mother did not side with her because she wanted to guide her toward the ultimate goal.
Bai Qinghao cared so much about Fang Xinxin. If they withheld food from this ugly wench, and she went to the Yu Ting Vi to eat, wouldn¡¯t Bai Qinghao stop visiting the Fang family?
She had nearly ruined things for herself.
Fang Ln gave Fang Xinxin a loving look. ¡°Look, Xinxin. Mom reprimanded your second sister. I¡¯m on your side.¡±
However, no matter how Fang Xinxin looked at it, she felt that Fang Ln was being hypocritical.
Did they think she wouldn¡¯t understand their thoughts?
Fang Ln raised her voice toward Ji Qing. ¡°Don¡¯t call ountant Zhang. We won¡¯t vite the contract.¡±
Ji Qing saw that Fang Manxue did not eat the fried rice that Fang Xinxin gave her and kept her phone away.
At this moment, a loud rumbling noise could be heard from the Fang family¡¯s yard.
Fang Xinxin and the others headed to the backyard and saw a helicopternd on the empty piece ofnd.
Two bodyguards alighted first. They stood to the left and right of the steps, with a two meter gap between them. They faced each other expressionlessly.
Soon, Bai Qinghao alighted from the helicopter. He was dressed in a well-fitted suit and carried a charismatic aura around him. It was an imposing sight.
The bright, afternoon sun shone behind him. It dyed the clouds in various, beautiful shades of crimson and red. The image was outstandingly beautiful and second to none!
Bai Qinghao stepped out of this picture with his blindingly attractive figure. He was imposing and powerful, as though he alone had the strength to shake the world. Everyone had to lift their heads to watch him, and their respect for him surfaced naturally.
The man was unbelievably outstanding and attractive. A peek at him alone was sufficient to cause one to be thoroughly love struck.
Fang Xinxin watched as the tall and broad figure came closer. Her emotions overwhelmed her and she nearly stopped breathing.
¡°Bai Qinghao!¡± Fang Manxue ran past Fang Xinxin in joy. She threw herself into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms.
However, before she could touch him, Liu Li stepped forward from the row of bodyguards and held her back. ¡°Second Lady Fang, our Boss is not here to see you.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned awkward. However, she smiled and ignored Liu Li¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯m really moved that CEO Bai came here.¡±
Fang Ln put on a weing smile. ¡°It is the Fang family¡¯s greatest honour to have CEO Bai visit our home...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and stern. He did not waste his breath on the Fang family.
He shifted his frigid gaze onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°Come here!¡±
Chapter 200: The Man Who Alighted From The Helicopter (Part 2)
Chapter 200: The Man Who Alighted From The Helicopter (Part 2)
Before Fang Xinxin could move, Fang Ln rushed to grab her hand. ¡°Xinxin ah, how can you wee guests this way? Don¡¯t stand here at the entrance. It wasn¡¯t easy for CEO Bai to visit. Quickly invite him into our living room.¡±
Looking at Bai Qinghao, it was clear that he intended to interact alone with the fat wench. How could they possibly give him such an opportunity?
She gave Fang Manxue a speaking look. ¡°Manxue, you as well. Don¡¯t just stand there. Quickly, go and pour some tea for CEO Bai.¡±
Bai Qinghao was not fooled. He clearly understood Fang Ln was trying to push Fang Manxue onto him. As usual, he did not waste his breath on them. He only gave Liu Li a look.
Liu Li immediately understood his meaning and shoved Fang Ln and Fang Manxue aside. The path towards the living room was immediately freed up.
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand in hisrge palm and pulled her into the living room.
The other Fang family members wanted to follow along but were held outside by Liu Li.
Fang Manxue red at Liu Li in anger. ¡°This is my home. What right do you have to stop me from going in?¡±
If this bodyguard dared to bully them, she had more than enough reasons to argue with him.
To her surprise, Liu Li stood firmly before her. He did not avert his gaze as he answered. ¡°Based alone on the fact that Boss is the Fang family¡¯s debtor.¡±
With one sentence, he sessfully destroyed Fang Manxue¡¯s arrogance.
The other party was not bullying her, but suppressing her with rightful reasons.
They still owed Bai Qinghao a hundred million dors. Fang Manxue regretted this situation right down to her bones.
However, at this moment, even if they tried to return the money, the other party would not ept it. And if they chose not to abide by Zhang Yuanzhi¡¯s contract, they would be jailed.
She was really vexed!
Fang Ln and Long Shuhai were also annoyed to the extreme. They red silently at the living room.
Bai Qinghao brought Fang Xinxin to the second floor and entered her room.
The moment they stepped in, he immediately pulled Fang Xinxin into his arms. He held her tightly and spoke in his low, husky voice. ¡°I really missed you!¡±
Even though they had just met yesterday, he felt as though a whole century had passed in the time they were apart.
Fang Xinxin lifted her head in his arms. She noticed the exhaustion on his face. His eyes were also slightly bloodshot. She said with certainty, ¡°You didn¡¯t get any sleep after you left the hospital yesterday, right?¡±
¡°En.¡± The man¡¯s husky voice was seductive. It shot through her heart like an arrow.
She touched his face with some heartache and responded in an extremely soft tone. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to rest well. You can¡¯t exhaust yourself like this.¡±
Warmth immediately flooded his frozen heart.
¡°I¡¯m busy.¡± These days, he was busy to the point where he rarely had the time to sleep.
She did not ask any questions about his work. She understood that he was not just busy with the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s business. The reason the Bai family was this powerful and influential was because they were heavily involved in many government affairs.
In her previous life, she had been his wife for ten years. She understood that the Bai family was extremelyplex. It was better not to be curious about matters that she ought to leave alone.
She would not make things difficult for him. When it came to the taboo topics, she would not ask any questions.
¡°No matter how busy you care, you have to take good care of your own body.¡± Her delicate brows furrowed in concern.
¡°All right.¡± As long as it was her request, he would fulfil it. As he took in her worried gaze, he felt his exhaustion fading away.
¡°Bai Qinghao, did you make a long distance trip? You must have crossed the border.¡± Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have used the helicopter.
He must have gone abroad for business matters.
He nodded. Since his work involved many confidential matters, it was difficult for him to exin it to her. Furthermore, when it came to some matters, it was safer for her to remain out of the loop.
Chapter 201: Shaohua Did Not Want His Interference
Chapter 201: Shaohua Did Not Want His Interference
In fact, he didn¡¯t even find any time to eat or sleep.
He had worked endlessly for the past two days and barely managed to squeeze out some time toe visit her.
She furrowed her brows. ¡°The next time you have to take such a long trip, it would be better if you didn¡¯t rush back.¡±
He frowned and his icy cold gaze turned as sharp as knives. ¡°You don¡¯t wish to see me?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that.¡± It was likely because this man had never been in a rtionship, but when it came to these matters, he was as dense as a block of wood. He often misunderstood her intentions. ¡°I¡¯m worried about you.¡±
His gaze immediately softened and turned warm again. He shifted his hands to her thighs and lifted her up like an infant. He then brought her onto the bed.
Could it be that he wanted her now?
Her cheeks instantly flushed. She pressed her face against his firm chest.
If so, she would cooperate with him unconditionally!
Even if he wanted her to take the initiative.
To her surprise, he sat down with her in his arms and did not make any other moves. He kept her in hisp and gently began to run his fingers through her long, soft hair.
Was that it? It hadn¡¯t been easy rushing back to visit her. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be pushing her down right now?
She secretly reached her hand into his clothes. However, his sudden question caused her to pause.
¡°You went to visit Fang Shaohao?¡± His tone contained certainty.
Fang Xinxin understood that with Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and position, news would always travel to him quickly and urately. There was no point in concealing any matters from him. ¡°I did.¡±
¡°You wish to overturn his case?¡± His tone remained confident. ¡°I¡¯ll settle it for you.¡±
It was a piece of cake for him to erase Fang Shaohao¡¯s criminal charges and to have him released from the jail immediately.
Fang Xinxin was moved by his offer. But she recalled that her brother had been extremely unwilling to ask for Bai Qinghao¡¯s help.
It wasn¡¯t as if she did not have the ability to settle this on her own. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m quite certain I¡¯ll be able to do it. I¡¯ve already hired awyer.¡±
She also did not wish for Bai Qinghao to interfere with this matter and damage his reputation.
¡°Fang Xinxin, why do you always refuse my offer to help?¡± He narrowed his eyes unhappily.
Three years ago, when Fang Shaohua was first imprisoned, Bai Qinghao had approached Fang Xinxin with the proposal to solve it for her.
At that time, she had mocked him for being a busybody. She even said that, since her brother hadmitted a wrongdoing, it was only right for him to serve his time.
When she recalled this matter, she could not help but feel immense regret.
At the time, if she had allowed Bai Qinghao to intervene, perhaps her brother wouldn¡¯t have been jailed. Even if she needed to beg Bai Qinghao to do so, it would still have been worth it.
Unfortunately, at the time, she had taken her mother¡¯s words to heart and felt that her brother deserved to be punished.
She had truly been blinded by her foolish loyalty in her past life.
Fang Xinxin did not wish for any misunderstandings between Bai Qinghao and her. She could only tell him the truth. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m refusing your offer to help. My brother does not wish to owe you any favours. He would rather remain in jail than owe you.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted his brows and his eyes glinted dangerously. ¡°Does he have any choice in this matter?¡±
He was quite interested in making Fang Shaohua indebted to him for the rest of his life.
Her gaze turned pleading. ¡°Bai Qinghao, since my brother has already been jailed for three years, let¡¯s just amodate his wishes. Let me help him to overturn his case.¡±
Three years ago, she had stopped him from interfering. Right now, she did not have the face to ask him for his help again.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and sneered mockingly.
Did that Fang Shaohua think he wouldn¡¯t understand his thoughts!
However, as he deliberated over it, he felt that keeping the man in jail would save him some trouble. It was better than having him out and about and being an interference!
Chapter 202: Longing For Him
Chapter 202: Longing For Him
Fang Xinxin saw that Bai Qinghao did not seem to insist on it any further. This meant that he was silently giving into her wishes.
Bai Qinghao did not wish to waste anymore time on Fang Shaohua. He looked at her intensely with his distant eyes. ¡°Did you miss me?¡±
¡°I did.¡± She nodded without any hesitation.
He desperately wished that he could put her in his pocket and carry her with him everywhere. Unfortunately, he could not bear to make her suffer the exhaustion. He was currently involved in settling some urgent political affairs. He needed to set up a cell site in the uninhabited border region and the technology needed to be provided entirely by the Sheng Shi Group. The matter was to be executed quietly and it was not suitable to leave it in someone else¡¯s hands. Hence, it wasn¡¯t convenient for him to bring her along.
He soaked in her sparkling gaze. Now that she had lost some weight, her eyes appeared brighter by the day. They seemed to radiate a bright light and were as captivating as the stars in the sky.
He had a premonition that, like an unpolished diamond, she was about to reveal her absolute beauty to the entire world.
However, regardless of what she did, she was already the best woman in his heart.
She felt warm and fragrant in his arms. His cold gaze swept past her soft, red lips and his breath hitched. He lowered his head to press his lips on hers in an imposing manner.
His kiss was domineering and he did not give her the option to refuse him. She could only allow him to do as he wished, and to intertwine their tongues intimately.
Her cooperation left him extremely satisfied.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s wandering hands began to explore his firm body.
Bai Qinghao badly wanted to press her under him right now!
Unfortunately...
He had nned to leave after taking a quick look at her.
He never expected himself to be this unwilling to part after holding her in his arms.
He checked the time and realised that he needed to leave now. Otherwise, it would dy his work.
He employed all his restraint to let go of her soft lips. Holding her waist gently, he ced her down on the bed. He stood up and spoke with regret in his voice. ¡°I have to leave now.¡±
The man¡¯s husky voice clearly revealed his deep desire.
Fang Xinxin was seriously afraid that he would hurt himself with the way he was holding back.
Even Bai Qinghao himself could not recall how many cold showers he had taken recently. He needed the frigid water to counter the heat in him.
Right now, he was busy to the point where he did not even have the time for a cold shower. Hence, he could only endure it!
¡°You¡¯re leaving already?¡± Her expression clearly revealed her unwillingness to part.
It was obvious that he did not have any more time to spare.
However, she hadn¡¯t even taken a good look at him till now.
He forced himself not to return her gaze.
Perhaps this way, it would reduce his longing for her.
But, he realised that the more he resisted, and the more he avoided her eyes, the more he wanted to bring her to his side. It would be best if she could never leave him again!
He turned to head toward the stairs. Fang Xinxin immediately rushed over and embraced him from the back. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have toe and visit me when you¡¯re free.¡±
Her longing, her heartache, joy and doting in her voice...
All of these could be keenly felt.
He resisted the urge to turn around, fearful that he would lose the willpower to leave if he did so.
His cold voice carried his deep emotions. ¡°I will. You have to be obedient in the meanwhile.¡±
Fang Xinxin understood that ¡®obedience¡¯ carried many different meanings for him.
He wanted her to wait obediently for her and to not seek Bai Chenxi out.
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± She smiled. ¡°Your little girl has already grown up.¡±
Your little girl...
She said that she was his. Bai Qinghao¡¯s back stiffened and a warm smile appeared on his normally stern features.
Outside the Fang home¡¯s vi entrance, Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai could not see beyond the living room. They stretched their necks out to peek at the stairs.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao had clearly gone up to the second floor.
The three of them were worried that Fang Xinxin would make use of the opportunity to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
If they somehow made an offspring, it would be a serious problem for them!
Chapter 203: Qinghao Took The Helicopter To Visit Manxue (Part 1)
Chapter 203: Qinghao Took The Helicopter To Visit Manxue (Part 1)
Even though Fang Xinxin had taken weight gain drugs for three years, and the side effects lowered her chances of conceiving, there was still the possibility of bing pregnant.
Thankfully, after around ten minutes, Bai Qinghao came down the stairs alone.
His clothes appeared to be neat and tidy...
They had only spent ten minutes together. That shouldn¡¯t have been sufficient for them to take off their clothes and put them on again, right?
Fang Ln did not see Fang Xinxin behind him. She asked him politely. ¡°CEO Bai, where¡¯s Xinxin?¡±
Bai Qinghao appeared as though he did not hear anything and headed straight for the helicopter which was awaiting him in the yard.
Liu Li and another bodyguard followed closely behind him.
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was extremely poor.
Bai Qinghao actually had the guts to ignore her. She was his future mother-inw!
She took a nce at her daughter, Manxue, and found that she was staring at Bai Qinghao¡¯s back view with a love struck expression. It was as though she had lost her soul. She looked so dazed just by looking at him.
Fang Ln also turned toward Bai Qinghao. Even his receding back view appeared to be dependable and was especially charming.
This man had both power and money. How could any woman possibly resist him?
¡°Stop staring. If you have the ability, snatch him from Fang Xinxin.¡± Ln patted Manxue¡¯s back.
Fang Manxue shifted her gaze away and gritted her teeth. ¡°He can only be mine!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to visit your third sister.¡± Fang Ln turned and headed up the stairs.
...
Fang Xinxin stood by the window on the second storey and watched as Bai Qinghao¡¯s helicopter slowly ascended in the sky. A loud, rumbling noise could be heard from the Fang family¡¯s backyard once more.
Bai Qinghao sat in the back of the helicopter and wore a soundproof,munication headset. His cold, distant gaze was also directed towards her.
He did not conceal the deep longing in his gaze.
He was not one to reveal his feelings to others. This time, however, he allowed her to sense his deep feelings for her.
She only wished she could climb into his pocket and apany him on his travels. Even if there was the risk of losing him, she would still be willing to soar the horizons with him!
¡°Xinxin ah, what did you do with Bai Qinghao earlier?¡± Fang Ln ran into her room. As she had run to reach here, she was slightly out of breath.
She saw that Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes appeared to be neat and tidy. The bed was also without any wrinkles and was neat. She was certain now that Fang Xinxin did not ¡®sleep¡¯ with Bai Qinghao earlier.
Indeed. Bai Qinghao was both handsome and outstanding. How could he possibly take a liking to an ugly wench like Fang Xinxin?
Fang Xinxin watched as the helicopter gradually became a small dot in her vision. She then turned back to face Fang Ln. ¡°Nothing much. He asked if I¡¯m living well in the Fang family.¡±
¡°Is that all?¡±
Even if it wasn¡¯t, she would never tell it to Fang Ln. ¡°What else could there be, mom?¡±
Fang n furrowed her brows. ¡°Xinxin, let me tell you, Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t a good option as a future husband. He is too powerful. The Sheng Shi Group has global influence. In the future, there¡¯ll be countless women around him. It¡¯s better if you stay away from him.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you tell these things to my second sister?¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Ln was left speechless. She still tried hard to sound sincere. ¡°Mom will be honest with you. Be it figure, appearance or intelligence, your second sister is better than you in every way. The position of Bai family¡¯sdy suits her more. You... definitely won¡¯t be able to hold onto it. Mom is doing this for your own good. I don¡¯t want you to be divorced immediately after you marry into the Bai family.¡±
Her arguments sounded sopelling. Her mother and second sister had appealed to her in this manner even in her previous life. They had employed both emotions and logic.
All for the sake of keeping Bai Qinghao away from her.
Chapter 204: Qinghao Took The Helicopter To Visit Manxue (Part 2)
Chapter 204: Qinghao Took The Helicopter To Visit Manxue (Part 2)
In the end, she still became Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife and stayed married with him for ten years. Furthermore, Bai Qinghao had guarded her till her death. Aside from her, he did not touch any other woman.
Fang Xinxin smiled at Fang Ln. ¡°Mom, the Bai family is so powerful. Even if I were to be divorced after marrying him, there would be more benefits when youpare it to not marrying him at all. There are so many women, including my second sister, who wish to touch the Bai family¡¯s door. But it¡¯s impossible for them. You¡¯re my mom. Since I don¡¯t mind this, you should be happy for me.¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Ln felt her teeth itching with hatred.
How could this fat, ugly wenchpare to her daughter, Manxue!
On the surface however, there was nothing that she could say. Her expression was uncertain.
On the first floor of the house, two youngdies in their twenties entered a room. Lou Yuna and Weng Jingke were ssmates of Fang Xinxin and Fang Manxue and also their neighbours.
¡°Manxue, I saw a helicopter in your backyard earlier. Bai Qinghao must havee to visit!¡± Lou Yuna appeared to be especially excited. ¡°Where is he? Bai Qinghao is so handsome. One nce alone would be a feast for the eyes.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve seen helicopters from afar, but I never thought I would see one in my best friend¡¯s backyard. It¡¯s so cool!¡± Weng Jingke¡¯s expression contained envy. ¡°If only that helicopter had stopped in my backyard. It¡¯s only a short distance away...¡±
¡°Jingke, aren¡¯t you afraid of angering Manxue with your words?¡± Lou Yuna patted Weng Jingke on the head. ¡°Bai Qinghao is Manxue¡¯s fianc¨¦e. How could he possibly take the helicopter to your house?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Manxue responded without blushing.
¡°Bai Qinghao is mine...¡± She then shifted her sharp gaze onto Weng Jingke. ¡°He is extremely busy. He hurried over just to spend some time with me. Weng Jingke, don¡¯t tell me you have improper thoughts about Bai Qinghao?¡±
Her tone was arrogant, as though Bai Qinghao had reallye to visit her.
On the second floor, Fang Xinxin stood by the windows and sneered in disdain.
On the first floor, Weng Jingke waved her hand urgently. ¡°We¡¯re such close friends. Bai Qinghao has been engaged to you since young. How could I possibly have designs on my best friend¡¯s fianc¨¦? Think about it! More importantly, your figure and appearance are much more attractive than mine. How could Bai Qinghao possibly be interested in other women?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Jingke spoke carelessly. Don¡¯t be angry at her.¡± Lou Yuna also spoke up for her. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about Jingke anymore. Are there any girls who wouldn¡¯t be envious of your position as the Commander¡¯s future wife?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression finally became better.
On the second floor, Fang Xinxin watched as Weng Jingke and Lou Yuna ttered Fang Manxue endlessly due to their misunderstanding. She had no interest in exining anything to them though.
Although these two girls were also her ssmates, they were first and foremost Fang Manxue¡¯s best friends. The three of them formed a clique of bitches.
There was no point in rifying anything to these two wenches. Furthermore, their entire school, and even the entire city, believed that Fang Manxue was the futuredy of the Bai family.
What was the point of wasting her voice on two people?
Soon, Fang Manxue would fall down from her position as ¡®the future Madam Bai¡¯!
On the first floor, Fang Manxue reached into her pocket and brought out a phone. ¡°Do you see this? It¡¯s my new phone. Bai Qinghao gifted it to me!¡± Her tone was extremelycent.
Xinxin nced at the phone from where she stood. It had really been ¡®gifted¡¯ by Bai Qinghao.
That night, when Bai Qinghao deleted the videos of her and Bai Chenxi from Fang Manxue¡¯s phone, he had tossed Fang Manxue¡¯s phone into the fish tank.
Chapter 205: Clothes From Bai Qinghao
Chapter 205: Clothes From Bai Qinghao
Her second sister had made a fuss about her damaged phone and had insisted that he give her an identical one. Bai Qinghao was not one to owe anyone something. Thus, he had asked a helper to buy her a simr one.
At the time, Fang Xinxin had been confused about her sister¡¯s actions. She was not someone who would thicken up her skin to ask forpensation for a phone that wasn¡¯t expensive.
It turned out that she had the intention to boast in front of her ssmates.
As expected, her second sister was showing off.
Lou Yuna¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Bai Qinghao gifted it to you?¡±
But Weng Jingke appeared to be confused. ¡°Manxue, this is a V12. It¡¯s priced at no more than a thousand odd dors for one. Although it isn¡¯t cheap formon people, Commander Bai couldn¡¯t have been this stingy, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Lou Yuna was also confused. ¡°You were using a V12 previously, as well. There¡¯s no difference between the two.¡±
¡°My previous phone had a couple of scratches. Over here...¡± Fang Manxue pointed at the phone. ¡°It¡¯s not as if you didn¡¯t know that. This phone is brand new. Are there any marks on this one?¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. Your previous phone did appear to be a little older.¡± Lou Yuna nodded.
Fang Manxue put on a humble and bashful expression. ¡°It¡¯s Bai Qinghao,. He originally wanted to buy me an expensive phone. But I¡¯m still a student and he was worried that having an expensive phone would put me in danger. For the sake of my safety, he bought one that was identical to what I was using previously.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s the reason.¡± Weng Jingke was extremely envious. ¡°I never expected Commander Bai to be so considerate.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t he?¡± Lou Yuna smiled. ¡°Our Manxue will be really blessed in the future.¡±
¡°As my friends, both of you will also be blessed.¡± Fang Manxue arrogantly epted their ttery. She then patted her chest. ¡°After I marry into the Bai family, I¡¯ll take good care of the two of you.¡±
¡°You have to keep your word.¡±
...
On the second floor, Fang Ln was also standing by the window, listening to themotion downstairs. She closed the window and turned to Fang Xinxin, who appeared unmoved. ¡°Xinxin, look, everyone has the misconception that your second sister is the true, futuredy of the Bai family. You can¡¯t ruin such a good matter for your second sister.¡±
¡°I¡¯m ruining her good matter? Then I really have to ruin it well!¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
¡°How could you not give any consideration to your sisterhood...¡± Fang Ln wanted to continue reprimanding her but was cut off by Fang Xinxin.
¡°If Fang Manxue gave some consideration to our sisterhood, she would not have pretended to be the future Lady Bai. She is impersonating me. Why didn¡¯t you educate her better? Since Fang Manxue has the guts to do this right now, I hope she will be able to suffer the consequences in the future!¡±
¡°You!¡± Fang Ln red at her in frustration.
Fang Xinxin paid no more heed to her. She left her room and headed for the backyard on the first floor. She stood on one leg and lifted her other leg to her forehead.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I never thought you would be able to do such a difficult move with your weight!¡± Lou Yuna sighed. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Yoga.¡± It was good for losing weight. She wanted to elerate the process!
Wang Jingke mocked her, ruthlessly. ¡°Look at your figure. How could you possibly lose weight?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already lost twenty catties.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at Weng Jingke¡¯s figure. ¡°Who knows, after some time, I may be even thinner than you.¡±
¡°Tsk!¡± Wang Jingke waved her hand in dismissal. ¡°Who would believe that? Have you taken a look at your face in the mirror? Even if you lose weight, no men would be interested in you.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Xinxin responded in a nomittal tone.
¡°Fang Xinxin, your sportswear is from an international brand...¡± Lou Yuna seemed to discover something. ¡°Where did you get the money to buy it?¡±
Chapter 206: New Clothes
Chapter 206: New Clothes
From what she knew, Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship with her family members was extremely poor. Mother Fang was always upset with Fang Xinxin for having the worst grades in her ss. She would never buy her something so expensive.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to lie to them. ¡°Bai Qinghao bought them for me.¡±
Weng Jingke looked fascinated. ¡°Bai Qinghao bought it for you? That can¡¯t be. He is Manxue¡¯s fianc¨¦e. You are his future sister-inw. It doesn¡¯t seem suitable for him to buy you clothes.¡±
¡°He is my...¡± Fang Xinxin had only said three words when Fang Manxue cut her off. ¡°There¡¯s nothing unsuitable about it. I was the one who asked Bai Qinghao to buy some clothes for Xinxin!¡±
She shot a look at Fang Xinxin. She was clearly asking Fang Xinxin not to tear down her stage.
Fang Xinxin touched her chin. Since her second sister was so shameless, she would allow her to continue having fun. This way, the consequences would only be bigger!
¡°Is Miss Fang at home?¡± At this moment, a man in his thirties stepped in. He had a square-jawline and was dressed in a ck suit with a matching tie. His face was expressionless and he seemed to be a deadpan type of man.
When Fang Manxue saw him, she immediately rushed over. ¡°Butler Zhao, it¡¯s been a long time!¡±
Weng Jingke and Lou Yuna also followed behind her. They asked her curiously. ¡°Who is he?¡±
¡°Good day. I am Young Master Bai Qinghao¡¯s butler, Zhao Cheng. I take care of the Yu Ting Vi.¡± Zhao Cheng introduced himself with the same t expression.
¡°So you¡¯re the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s butler!¡± Weng Jingke lifted her hand up to shake his hand. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m honoured to meet you. I¡¯m Manxue¡¯s ssmate, Weng Jingke.¡±
Zhao Cheng had no intention of shaking her hand. Jingke could only awkwardly retract her hand. Fang Manxue gave her a look as though she was being shameless.
¡°Butler Zhao, why didn¡¯t I see you thest time I visited the Yu Ting Vi?¡± Fang Manxue appeared to be very familiar with Zhao Cheng. This caused Weng Jingke and Lou Yuna to feel envious.
¡°I was arranged by the Young Master to work in the Bai family¡¯s mansion for a while.¡± Zhao Cheng responded politely to Fang Manxue¡¯s question. After a moment, he said, ¡°Young Master bought a lot of clothes and shoes for Miss Fang. Where is Miss Fang¡¯s room? I¡¯ll arrange for the things to be moved in.¡±
He gestured toward the side and several men brought what seemed like an endless stream of boxes from a truck parked outside, into the house.
Wang Jingke counted them. ¡°There are tenrge boxes. Fang Manxue, Bai Qinghao sure dotes on you!¡±
Before Fang Manxue could put on a pleased expression, Zhao Cheng had already responded to Weng Jingke coldly. ¡°My Young Master, Bai Qinghao, bought these clothes for the Third Fang Lady.¡±
¡°Third Fang Lady... Isn¡¯t that Fang Xinxin?¡± Weng Jingke was confused. ¡°Butler Zhao, did you make a mistake?¡±
Zhao Cheng responded with certainty. ¡°There are no mistakes. These clothes were bought for Miss Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Are they cheap?¡± Weng Jingke felt that perhaps, Bai Qinghao had found some economical goods to show some kindness to this fat woman.
¡°Around twenty to thirty million dors or so.¡±
¡°So expensive!¡± Weng Jingke was dumbstruck.
Lou Yuna also eximed. ¡°My god! Manxue, Bai Qinghao actually bought so much clothes for your third sister. And such expensive ones. Could it be that they...¡±
Fang Manxue immediately covered Lou Yuna¡¯s mouth in embarrassment. ¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense in front of Butler Zhao.¡±
If Zhao Cheng responded to them and revealed that Fang Xinxin was actually Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, everything would be over!
She grabbed their hands and forcefully tugged them in the direction of her own room. ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll show the two of you something good...¡±
No matter how unwilling the two girls were, they were still dragged away.
Back in the yard, Fang Xinxin furrowed her brows in response to Zhao Cheng¡¯s words. ¡°Bai Qinghao really spent too much.¡±
Chapter 207: Sell Clothes (Part 1)
Chapter 207: Sell Clothes (Part 1)
¡°This is Young Master¡¯s sincerity. Please ept it, Miss Fang.¡± Zhao Cheng approached her. Although his attitude was not impolite, underneath the facade, he actually looked down on her.
A woman who was loyal to Bai Chenxi had no right to stand by the side of his outstanding young master!
Fang Xinxin sized Zhao Cheng up. In their past lives, Zhao Cheng had once disrespected her. This time, if he stepped too far out of line, she would definitely make him pay for it.
But this man was just like Liu Li. They were both absolutely loyal to Bai Qinghao.
Considering their devotion for Bai Qinghao, she decided not to be petty with either of them.
At the end of the day, she had caused their disdain through her own actions.
¡°My room is on the second floor. Please follow me.¡± Fang Xinxin guided him. Zhao Cheng led several men, who were carrying the boxes, after her.
They not only moved the boxes into her room but also unpacked the clothes and arranged every piece neatly in her closet. They went on to store the shoes into the shoe rack.
The Yu Ting Vi people were extremely efficient when it came to their work. They were done with the task in a matter of minutes.
Fang Xinxin took in the shoes and clothes. She thought that Bai Qinghao had moved over the ones which he previously bought for her at the Yu Ting Vi. But it turned out...
These werepletely different. Even the shoes were new.
In other words, Bai Qinghao had spent anotherrge sum of money on clothes and shoes for her.
She took a closer look and realised that these clothes were two sizes smaller than the ones at the Yu Ting Vi. She held up a few pieces against herself and realised that they fit her current figure perfectly.
She had never expected for Bai Qinghao to be this attentive.
It would have been fine if he had sent over the old ones. She could have worn them even if they were slightly loose.
He spent thirty million dors on them. Since he had bought her clothes twice, Bai Qinghao had nearly spent sixty million dors in total.
Her heart ached for Bai Qinghao¡¯s wallet despite the fact that this money was nothing but a small change for him.
¡°Miss Fang, if there is no other matter, I will take my leave now.¡± Zhao Cheng said in a questioning tone. After receiving her nod, he guided the men down the stairs.
¡°Butler Zhao, won¡¯t you sit for a little while?¡± Fang Ln tried to hold him back.
¡°I won¡¯t trouble you.¡±
...
Upstairs, Fang Manxue showed Lou Yuna and Wen Jingke the photos she had previously taken secretly at the Yu Ting Vi and tried to build a wrong picture.
She lied to them that she had found Xinxin pitiful and begged Bai Qinghao to buy her some clothes. But she never expected Bai Qinghao to be so generous.
Both Lou Yuna and Weng Jingke sighed in admiration. They responded by saying that the Commander truly cared a lot for Manxue. Otherwise, he would not have been so generous to his younger sister-inw.
It hadn¡¯t been easy for Fang Manxue to send the two of them away. Finally, she stepped into Fang Xinxin¡¯s room and saw that her closet was filled to the brim withvish, expensive clothes from famous, international brands. She was used to spending extravagantly, but even she could not afford to buy such expensive clothes.
These dresses were much more valuable than the ones she normally wore by several times!
Jealousy shed across Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful face. She said in a sour tone, ¡°These clothes are so expensive. Third sister, with your figure, it¡¯ll be a waste even if you put them on. Why don¡¯t you... sell them and get money in return!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. ¡°Second sister, all the clothes you own are extremely expensive, yet I¡¯ve never seen you sell any of them. Do you mean to say that you are suited to wear expensive clothes, but they are a waste on me?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not the point.¡± Fang Manxue had an idea. ¡°Third sister, as you know, the Fang family is in trouble now. Your clothes are still brand new. Even the price tags are still attached. We will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money. You have the responsibility to help the Fang family in its troubled times.¡±
Chapter 208: Sell Clothes (Part 2)
Chapter 208: Sell Clothes (Part 2)
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Ln stepped into the room after sending Zhao Cheng away and began nagging. ¡°Xinxin ah, you are the Fang family¡¯s daughter. As long as your surname is Fang, you have the responsibility to fulfil your role. We don¡¯t need you toe up with ways to help the Fang family out of trouble. All you have to do is sell these clothes.¡±
¡°In the past, I did have this responsibility. But now... our debt is still unsettled. Mom, let¡¯s first talk about the amount Dad previously earned. Since you spent away my portion, you have to repay it first.¡± Fang Xinxin replied calmly.
She extended her left hand with the palm facing up.
¡°Why are you bringing this up again? Isn¡¯t it all in the past?¡± Fang Ln responded unhappily. ¡°I already told you, the money is gone. Even if you had a share in it, what¡¯s wrong with your mother using it? Besides, how much money could your Dad have had?¡±
Fang Xinxin responded crisply. ¡°Very good. So, you¡¯re insisting that my father didn¡¯t leave a single cent before falling ill?¡±
¡°There was a little...¡±
¡°How much is a little?¡±
¡°A few million dors...¡± Fang Ln did not feel guilty responding so brazenly. In any case, the Fang Group waspletely under her control. She could destroy the ounts anytime she wished.
¡°It would be more urate if you added two more zeroes behind that.¡± Fang Xinxin threw out her estimation. She was able to guess this based on the bonus that her elder brother had received in the past.
Fang Ln was taken back. How did this dumb wench know that Long Yifan had left that much money?
¡°In any case, the money is long gone.¡± Fang Ln maintained aposed expression. ¡°We will sell these new clothes for half or one third of the original cost. We will sell them cheaply. It would be perfect if people were to buy them at eighty percent of the original value. Once we have ten to thirty million dors, the Fang Group will be revived...¡±
¡°Mom.¡± Fang Xinxin cut her off. ¡°There is only one reason that I mentioned this topic to you. I¡¯m helping you to understand that since the Fang Group did not give me my portion when there was money, thepany¡¯s current problems arepletely unrted to me. I will not sell any of my clothes for the Fang Group!¡±
Fang Ln didn¡¯t bother to argue with her. She approached the closet and pulled out a pile of clothes, preparing to take them away with her. ¡°You have to sell them even if you don¡¯t want to!¡±
Fang Manxue saw this and followed suit. She approached the shoe rack and began collecting the new shoes.
Fang Xinxin did not stop them. She said casually, ¡°Mom, did the wine bottle that Bai Qinghao rewarded you with, taste good? The injury on your left hand hasn¡¯t healed yet, right? Shall I ask Bai Qinghao to ¡®gift¡¯ you another bottle?¡±
Then, she turned to Fang Manxue who had several pairs of shoes in her hands. ¡°Second sister, I guarantee that if either of you touch my clothes or shoes, Bai Qinghao will definitely ¡®reward¡¯ the two of you.¡±
Fang Ln halted instantly. She recalled the way Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguard had tried to smash the bottle of wine on her head. If she hadn¡¯t acted fast and blocked it with her hand, her skull would have been shattered.
Even till now, her wound was very painful.
¡°Fang Xinxin, you dare!¡± Fang Manxue shouted.
¡°Do you want to try me?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Also, these are Bai Qinghao¡¯s things. If you sell them without his consent, it would be considered as fraud. Are you seeking a jail term?¡±
Fang Ln and Fang Manxue exchanged uneasy looks. They were deliberating whether Fang Xinxin would actuallyin to Bai Qinghao about this.
If she really informed Bai Qinghao that they forcefully sold these clothes, considering his character, the consequences would really be too much for them to bear.
Chapter 209: Bad Cop Good Cop
Chapter 209: Bad Cop Good Cop
It was better not to take the risk.
Fang Manxue stomped her feet in frustration.
She was really infuriated.
If she could sell Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes, she would not only be able to earn arge sum of money but would also use it as a reference toin to Bai Qinghao and im that Fang Xinxin did not want the clothes that he bought her. She could prove it to him that Fang Xinxin intentionally sold the clothes to stomp on his feelings.
Then, Bai Qinghao would definitely be upset with Fang Xinxin for not appreciating his feelings. He would hopefully start to dislike this fat wench.
But she never expected Fang Xinxin to refuse her!
Her well-nned scheme was renderedpletely useless.
Fang Ln also felt that this dumb wench was growing harder and harder to control. Yet, with the Fang family¡¯s current situation, they could not afford to offend her. She immediately donned a false smile. ¡°Your second sister and I are just worried about the Fang family¡¯s financial condition. It was a careless suggestion. Xinxin ah, if you¡¯re not willing to sell the clothes and shoes, forget about it. Don¡¯t take this to heart.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Fang Manxue also smiled beautifully. ¡°We were just speaking carelessly.¡±
She put the shoes back on the shoe rack.
Fang Ln also carried the pile of clothes in her arms and re-arranged them neatly in the closet.
Fang Manxue reached for one of the long dresses. It had a delicate embroidery that was handsewn by a French designer. ¡°This dress is so beautiful!¡±
The v-neckline was adorned with flowers embroidered with gold threads. It had puffy sleeves and was in a pastel yellow colour. The matching belt around the waist added a luxurious and graceful touch to the dress. It seemed to be like an outfit suited for a princess in a children¡¯s story book. It was especially beautiful and was really pleasing to the eye. ¡°Third sister, why don¡¯t you give this skirt to me?¡±
¡°Second sister, you can¡¯t wear the clothes in my size.¡± She rejected her without missing a beat.
¡°This skirt has a slim silhouette. It stretches very well and no matter if the wearer is thin or fat, it will fit them well. Bai Qinghao already gave you so many clothes. It¡¯s not too much for you to give me one out of them.¡±
She did not wait for her response and directly turned to leave with the dress in her arms.
Fang Xinxin took a nce at the price tag. ¡°One million eight hundred thousand dors.¡±
¡°Alright, so what if it¡¯s expensive! I¡¯ll pay cash right now!¡± Fang Manxue had some savings in cash. She could still afford to take it.
As long as she bought this dress, all she had to do was tell Bai Qinghao that Fang Xinxin sold it to her. She would still seed in her goal of making Bai Qinghao feel that Fang Xinxin was an ingrate person.
¡°Who said that I was selling it to you?¡± Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and began dialing a number. ¡°I¡¯m giving Zhang Yuanzhi a call. Although he is the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s ountant, I¡¯m sure he will be able to answer my question. You stole an item worth a million plus dors from me. I wonder how long you will have to be jailed for that.¡±
¡°You!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s flushed red. ¡°Fang Xinxin, we are blood rted sisters. Do you have to be so ruthless?¡±
Before Fang Xinxin could make the call, Fang Ln immediately pretended to criticise her. ¡°You still dare to im that? Where did you find the face to snatch your third sister¡¯s clothes? Return it to her!¡±
Fang Manxue also did not wish to invite trouble from ountant Zhang over a dress.
The moment Zhang Yuanzhi was contacted, Bai Qinghao would also learn of the incident. Then, she would be the unfortunate one.
She unwillingly ced the dress back into the closet but then she turned around and announced coldly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you better watch out! You¡¯re in for some misfortune!¡±
As if Bai Qinghao would want a cheap wench who seduced middle-aged men!
¡°Don¡¯t be petty. Her temper has always been that way.¡± Fang Ln patted Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoulder with fake sympathy. ¡°Mom will scold her.¡±
She then left the room as well.
Fang Xinxin harrumphed. Ths mother-daughter pair really knew how to put on an act. One of them pretended to be the bad cop, while the other was the good cop.
Chapter 210: Increasingly Sick
Chapter 210: Increasingly Sick
Who knew misfortune would befall on whom!
On the third floor, inside Fang Ln¡¯s room, Fang Manxue threw herself on the bed. She punched against the Simmons bedding in anger, creating loud, thumping noises. ¡°Mom, mom! I¡¯m so angry! Look at that cheap wench! See how arrogant she is!¡±
Fang Ln supported her up from the bed dotingly. As she took in FangManxue¡¯s beautiful, young features, her expression was indulgent. ¡°My Manxue is a noble princess. Fang Xinxin, the fat wench, is but an ugly toad. She won¡¯t be able to remain arrogant for too long.¡±
¡°Mom, I have to tell you something. I followed Fang Xinxin recently and learned a big secret!¡± Fang Manxue whispered in her mom¡¯s ear with a confident expression.
Fang Ln¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Very good. That Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t know how to be content in her position as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. She actually dared to betray Bai Qinghao. I¡¯ll see how Bai Qinghao deals with her!¡±
¡°We can¡¯t give anything away till thest moment. We have to make sure Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t be suspicious. The next time we meet Bai Qinghao, I¡¯ll let her face the consequences.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything when Bai Qinghao visited us now?¡±
¡°That¡¯s because I had no way of approaching Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Manxue had learned to be patient.
¡°The reason I didn¡¯t say it in public wasn¡¯t to save Fang Xinxin¡¯s face. If I revealed the fact that she¡¯s being kept by an old man in front of everyone, it would harm Bai Qinghao¡¯s face. Then, even if he abandons Fang Xinxin, he would still hate me for being the type of woman who betrayed her own sister. The next time Bai Qinghao visits, I¡¯ll borrow someone else¡¯s knife instead. This way, if I seed, I would have sessfully caught the fish. If it fails, the matter would be unrted to me and I won¡¯t be impacted.¡±
¡°My daughter, you¡¯ve improved and have a better foresight now.¡± Fang Ln nodded happily. ¡°Do you want mom to arrange the knife for you? Or...¡±
¡°I have someone in mind. You don¡¯t have to worry about this matter.¡±
¡°Good.¡±
Fang Manxue narrowed her eyes viciously. ¡°When Fang Xinxin turns into an abandoned trash, I¡¯ll see how she still dares topete with me!¡±
...
The next day, Fang Xinxin made another visit to the prison.
Fang Shaohua had caught a cold. She offered a few words of concern and updated him on several matters. She suggested to him that if he pretended to have contracted a serious cough in front of others, she would arrange for him to be temporarily released for medical treatment.
Fang Shaohua returned to the one-person prison cell that he had upied for the past two days. A young man dressed in the prison uniform immediately followed after him. He locked the steel door and quickly exined. ¡°I¡¯m Chen Aili. I used to be a make-up artist. The Third Fang Lady has arranged for me to be here.¡±
Chen Aili brought apact, make-up pouch out of his armpit. There was a small palette, an eyeliner, a concealer... everything he could possibly need.
However, the quantity was rather small and he could use these products only a few times.
¡°The ¡®crime¡¯ Imitted will be dismissed in a few days. My mission is to give you several days of makeover, and to help you appear especially ill. This way, you will be able to meet the requirements for external medical attention.¡±
Between his words, Chen Aili quickly began to pat the powder on Fang Shaohua¡¯s face. He also applied a brandless lotion on his face. Very quickly, the originally, energetic-looking Fang Shaohua appeared like a weak, ill man. ¡°I won¡¯t make the changes to appear too drastic for now. For the next two days, I will gradually intensify it for you to seem increasingly ill. The make-up is waterproof. Since you are in this cell alone, no one will touch the things. I¡¯ll leave the make-up items in the toilet¡¯s water tank for the next few days. When I¡¯m released from this ce, I¡¯ll take it along with me.¡±
Fang Shaohua nodded lightly.
Once Chen Aili left his prison cell, Fang Shaohua asked a prison guard to take him to the infirmary.
Chapter 211: Fang Shaohua Misses Xinxin
Chapter 211: Fang Shaohua Misses Xinxin
There was a simple, single bed inside the infirmary. Pan Dalong cried in pain as heid on it. In between his cries, he kept houting. ¡°Fang Shaohua, that bastard! I¡¯m going to settle this debt with him! I¡¯m going to kill him!¡±
Ever since Fang Shaohua punched his teeth out, his pronunciation had be unclear and his words were incoherent.
¡°Please stop shouting,¡± Doctor Huang, who was stationed in the infirmary, raised his voice firmly. ¡°Otherwise, I will send you out immediately.¡±
¡°All right, all right. I¡¯ll shut up. I¡¯ll shut up.¡± Pan Dalong used to rely on his ruthless attitude to hold himself as the king among the criminals. However, ever since he was beaten up by Fang Shaohua, his face waspletely lost.
The moment he returned to his cell, he turned into aughing stock in front of his cellmates. He even had to do chores in his injured state. Hence, he decided to stay in the infirmary, refusing to leave.
¡°Who are you going to kill?¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯splexion was extremely pale. He kept coughing, but his gaze was scary.
The moment Pan Dalong saw him, he was frightened and did not dare to mention killing him. ¡°Who said I¡¯m killing anyone? I¡¯m just moving my lips for fun.¡±
The little brat normally appeared to be easy to bully. Pan Dalong could have never imagined that when he became ruthless, he would take away half his life. He did not dare to provoke him again.
Pan Dalong thought of something. ¡°Fang Shaohua, that woman came to visit you again. I thought she was some great beauty so I secretly peeked at her from afar. That woman is both fat and ugly! You actually consider her as your precious girl? Aren¡¯t you afraid of beingughed at? Hahaha!¡±
Whileughing, he identally pulled the wounds that Fang Shaohua had left on him. He immediately hissed in pain.
¡°It seems like you don¡¯t want the rest of your teeth!¡± Fang Shaohua lifted his fist and cracked his knuckles loudly.
Pan Dalong shrunk his neck back in fear. He immediately waved his hands. ¡°Brother, brother, don¡¯t do it...¡± He could not overwhelm him with strength or money. He was helpless. ¡°I was just joking. I heard that that woman is named Fang Xinxin. She is your little sister. Since you think that your little sister is an angel, an angel she is.¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Fang Shaohua harrumphed coldly but could not help emit a loud cough.
¡°You lose it everytime I say something bad about your sister...¡± Pan Dalong was frightened. ¡°I heard that she isn¡¯t your blood-rted sister. Do you have a crush on her?¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s body stiffened. His expression was dark but he did not respond.
Pan Dalong continued prodding him. ¡°I bet you do, don¡¯t you?¡±
This Fang Shaohua hid everything too well. He was too difficult to read.
¡°Shut up!¡± Fang Shaohua had grown impatient.
Pan Dalong did not dare to continue speaking.
Doctor Huang gave Fang Shaohua a check-up and suddenly said seriously, ¡°1529, you¡¯ve contracted a serious case of pneumonia. It¡¯s contagious. You need to be isted immediately.¡±
Doctor Huang immediately put on a mask on his face.
¡°What!¡± Pan Dalong, who waszing around, immediately fled when he heard these words. It was too dangerous to hang around someone who had pneumonia. He would rather return to his cell.
...
In the next ten days, Fang Shaohua¡¯s condition continued deteriorating. He began coughing out blood and the treatment was ineffective. He then sessfully applied to be temporarily released for medical treatment.
Fang Xinxin arranged for him to be admitted into the Jia Ya hospital under the Sheng Shi Group. His hospital room was arranged right next to Long Yifan¡¯s. This way, her elder brother could easily visit their father.
Jia Ya hospital was a high-ss hospital. The thirty-eight floor was reserved for the especially wealthy.
When Fang Xinxin arrived, Fang Shaohua was not in his room. She went next door and as expected, her brother was sitting by Long Yifan¡¯s bedside.
¡°Brother!¡± She cried out.
Fang Shaohua turned around. His originally gloomy aura immediately dissipated. ¡°Xinxin!¡±
He took a step forward and could not control himself. He held her in his arms tightly and his throat choked. ¡°Third sister, I missed you so much!¡±
Chapter 212: Fang Shaohua’s Precious Girl (Part 1)
Chapter 212: Fang Shaohua¡¯s Precious Girl (Part 1)
His longing for her and the memories of every moment spent with her was the only thing that had helped him get through the gloomy days of his three years in prison.
Fang Xinxin froze and started. ¡°Big Brother...¡± please don¡¯t act like this.
But the trembling of his body caused the remaining words to halt at the tip of her tongue.
Her big brother had always been a strong, steadfast person with a bright and sunny disposition.
When has he ever been upset to the point of quivering?
Thinking of the years that he spent in prison, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was filled with pain.
In her memories, ever since she was born she had a brother who doted on her.
To her, he is her blood-rted brother! Her brother truly loves her, there is no way she could push him away when he is in his most fragile state.
Quickly ncing at the door, she felt grateful that the door to the ward was closed, preventing the bodyguards sent by Bai Qinghao from seeing the situation in the room.
Otherwise, if the bodyguards saw that Fang Shaohua was hugging her, and reported it to Bai Qinghao, she might be in trouble due to his jealous personality.
¡°Xinxin... Xinxin!¡± Fang Shaohua cried out her name continuously.
He finally met her, finally touched her, finally could feel her warmth. There was no longer the need to silently long for her in the darkness, and there were no more walls between them!
Fang Xinxin sniffled and said guiltily, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s all my fault. When you first entered prison, I didn¡¯t work hard for you. If not for the fact that someone pretended to be me and sent you that message, you would not have fallen in the trap.¡±
¡°No... this isn¡¯t your fault.¡± Fang Shaohua shook his head. ¡°The other party wanted to screw me over. Even if we prevented this incident, they would have tried something else. In the end, it was all due to me being soft hearted.¡±
If he had been ruthless at the beginning, the one suffering would be his foe instead.
His words caused her to ask him. ¡°Brother, who do you think backstabbed you?¡±
But Fang Shaohua became silent.
¡°It¡¯s ok to say it.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged. ¡°She has changed into an entirely different person, hasn¡¯t she?¡±
¡°It seems that we¡¯ve reached the same conclusion.¡± Fang Shaohua chose to stop concealing the matter. ¡°To be honest, besides Mom, there isn¡¯t another possible culprit. After all, while I was in prison, I could no longerpete with her to be the chairman of the Fang Group. She is the one who benefitted the most from this incident.¡±
¡°I actually wanted to ask Bai Qinghao to save you three years ago, but mom advised me not to.¡± Fang Xinxin told him.
¡°Don¡¯t ask Bai Qinghao!¡± Fang Shaohua suddenly eximed. ¡°Xinxin, have you ever asked him to help me?¡±
Recalling that he was able to get a single cell in the prison, receive the care of prison guards, as well as get medical care outside prison, he was really worried that Bai Qinghao was helping him behind the scenes.
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°No, I relied on myself. Thewyer, Li Shaohong, whom I asked to fight your case, has a good rtionship with the warden of your prison. I used this rtionship to seek better treatment for you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Fang Shaohua sighed in relief.
¡°Brother, why are you so reluctant to have Bai Qinghao help you out?¡± She asked him in confusion.
Fang Shaohua looked at her before smiling suddenly. ¡°This is our Fang family¡¯s business. If we seek Bai Family¡¯s help, your position will be lowered. I do not wish for you to suffer when you marry into their family.¡±
¡°Brother...¡± Fang Xinxin rested her head on her brother¡¯s shoulder.
Since young, her brother had always prioritised her.
The smile on Fang Shaohua¡¯s face was tinged with bitterness. He gently patted her on the back, the way he always did when she cried during their childhood.
Chapter 213: Fang Shaohua’s Precious Girl (Part 2)
Chapter 213: Fang Shaohua¡¯s Precious Girl (Part 2)
She was his precious girl.
When he was six years old, his adopted mother gave birth to Fang Xinxin. Her cuteness caused him to be enamored with her.
During his youth, he earnestly wished to quickly grow older so that he could protect her.
It wasn¡¯t until he got older that he realized that his feelings for her had not just grown deeper but also deviated. From mere kinship to sibling love to...
He had started to love her, extremely, deeply, madly.
He wanted to marry her, and take care of her for the rest of her life!
In the Fang family, she was the real daughter and he was merely an adopted son.
Thus, since young, he worked hard to remain the valedictorian from elementary school till college.
He hoped that when he finally became an aplished man after entering the society and thus became worthy of her, he would be able to tell his parents about his heart¡¯s desire.
He had no blood-rtions with Xinxin, so legally speaking, as long as their parents agreed, he would be able to marry her.
But s, man proposes, god disposes!
Before he could even grow up, Bai Qinghao appeared as Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦. It nearly drove him mad with jealousy and anger.
Had it not been for Bai Qinghao, he believed that his adoptive parents would have agreed to his proposal.
To him, Bai Qinghao was a rival that had stolen his love. He would rather die than owe him a favor!
Besides, his heart had never stopped loving Xinxin. If he could...
He would still fight for her heart!
Hence, if he ended up owing Bai Qinghao a favor, how would he fight for his girl?
He believed that it was the power of the Bai Family that had allowed Bai Qinghao to forcefully upy the position of XinXin¡¯s fianc¨¦.
The only way he lost to Bai Qinghao was in terms of family background.
How many years had it been already?
He spent each day waiting for Bai Qinghao to be a failure, to turn into a wastrel.
But sadly, Bai Qinghao remained excellent in all aspects. Even without relying on Bai family¡¯s merits, he had outstanding aplishments and a long, glorious history in the business arena. He personally created the Sheng Shi Group that stood above all otherpanies, globally. He had a presence in almost every industry and country.
Although Fang Shaohua was simrly brilliant, he could not help but feel inadequate inparison.
As a result, he could only bury his love for Xinxin deep within his heart.
Regarding Bai Chenxi, he had always felt that what Xinxin felt for him was a mere crush that she would eventually get over.
In his eyes, Bai Chenxi was not worth any consideration.
He was unwilling to owe Bai Qinghao favors firstly, in case Bai Qinghao treated her badly he could justify stealing Xinxin back. Secondly, he really didn¡¯t want Xinxin to be wronged on the ount of owing a favor to the Bai Family
Fang Xinxin saw the dazed look on her brother¡¯s face and asked softly.¡±What¡¯s on your mind, brother?¡±
He quickly regained his bearings and replied. ¡°Nothing.¡±
Although he was temporarily released from prison, his criminal records had yet to be dealt with.
He had no future and therefore no right to pursue her.
His love for her could only remain buried deep within his heart.
Perhaps, he would never have a chance toy out his feelings for her.
¡°I feel that Mom started changing after I turned eleven. Even though she tried her best to hide it, she is no longer the woman who loved us.¡± Fang Xinxin thought out loud. ¡°Right now, she seems more like a jackal that has nothing on her mind but the assets of the Fang Group.¡±
Fang Shaohua also put out his thoughts frankly. ¡°Before I entered prison, my entire energy was devoted towards managing the business of the Fang Group. Even before that, I was living in the dormitory, and thus rarely returned home. During my college days, there was actually no need for me to stay in the dorms, but she made me stay there, and even during holidays she made me take up part-time jobs instead of allowing me to return home.¡±
Chapter 214: New Residence
Chapter 214: New Residence
Fang Shaohua sighed. ¡°Looking back, it was pretty obvious that she didn¡¯t want me around lest I noticed her acting weird.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°At that time, I was too young to be able to think clearly.¡±
Due to her second chance at life, many things had be apparent now.
¡°You¡¯re still young, you¡¯re only 19.¡± Fang Shaohua looked at her dotingly.
With a tinge of guilt, he said, ¡°Li Shaohong has given me a simplified version of your circumstances in the Fang Family during the three years that I¡¯ve been in prison.¡±
¡°The people in the Fang Family are way too overbearing!¡± he said in anger.
He almost wished he could kill them!
¡°Brother, don¡¯t be angry.¡±
Saying so, she withdrew from his embrace.
Suddenly feeling the emptiness in his arms, his heart felt as though a piece of him was taken away. He wished to hug her forever and never let go!
However he didn¡¯t have the right to do that.
He also could not let her doubt his feelings. It would only increase the burden in her heart.
He took a second to stabilize his emotions, but the guilt in his expression did not fade. ¡°It is truly my fault for making you suffer so much.¡±
To him, seeing her in agony was worse than getting hacked by a cleaver!
She said tenderly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your sister really won¡¯t let others bully her again. Brother, you¡¯ve been released temporarily for medical treatment, under the pretext of tuberculosis. Try to avoiding into contact with others, especially those from the Fang Family, in case they find out that your condition is fake. You could stay in the ward next to this one or...¡±
She paused and said, ¡°I¡¯ve also arranged a safehouse for you to stay at temporarily. You could live there ande to the hospital regrly under the pretense of medical checkup. I¡¯ve made arrangements regarding the doctor you¡¯ll be seeing. He won¡¯t disclose anything he shouldn¡¯t to any outsider.¡±
¡°All right.¡± He nodded.
¡°Third sister, it¡¯ll be inconvenient for me to return to the Fang home. Regarding mom, I think you had better perform a maternity test with her.¡±
They needed to know for sure whether Fang Ln was her biological mother before deciding upon how to treat her.
¡°I will think of a way to do so.¡± She took out two masks from her handbag. She put one on herself and handed the other to him. ¡°Brother, put this on. I¡¯ll take you to your new home.¡±
Fang Shaohua epted it. The two of them quietly left the hospital and took a taxi towards Hong Sheng district.
Strangers had to register before they could enter the district, but Fang Xinxin had beening and going in for the past few days so the security guard recognised her.
Moreover, she had paid him a visit in advance and notified him that Fang Shaohua was the owner of one of the properties here. She had also described his appearance. Thus, the security guard allowed them to enter after he checked their appearances under the mask.
The district catered to the upper-middle ss, and the paths for cars and pedestrians were separate.
Tall and lush trees were nted on the sidewalks between buildings, and there were many grey colored, long benches besides the pedestrian walkways. Multiple gazebos and fountains dotted the area for residents to cool off under. Willow greens that swayed with the wind were nted on the banks of the ponds and the breeze brought along a scent of nature that refreshed the heart.
The district had an extremely beautiful environment!
Fang Shaohua turned his head to look at Fang Xinxin who was walking alongside him. The light breeze gently swept past them. Thanks to her presence, Fang Shaohua managed to enjoy a rare moment of tranquility despite his heart that had been submerged in the darkness for so long.
Fang Xinxin stepped out of the elevator on the 20th floor. She turned left, and reached a two-room apartment. She pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock of the security door to unlock it.
Chapter 215: Ten Years Of Rent Paid
Chapter 215: Ten Years Of Rent Paid
She shared the passcode for the electronic lock with Fang Shaohua, and said, ¡°Henceforth, whether you are entering or leaving, use the fingerprint lock. If you want the key, I¡¯ve ced it on the bedside table in the master bedroom.¡±
Fang Shaohua nodded with a sound of affirmation.
The entrance led to a white-tiled living room with a connected dining room. The walls were covered in a bright yellow embroidered wallpaper, and the edges of the ceiling were covered in a flowery pentacle pattern. Within the roomid a simple fabric sofa, along with a 55-inch television hanging on the wall. The three rooms were furnished with dark brown solid wood flooring. All-in all, the ce gave off afortable and pleasant feeling. The entire house was decorated in a modern and exquisite style.
Fang Xinxin gave him a tour of the house, and briefly exined. ¡°This house has already been renovated by the developer. There are three bedrooms and two living rooms, two toilets and one kitchen, all within thepact area of 85 square meters. The master bedroom and the living room are bigger, while the rest of the rooms are a little smaller. However, there¡¯s a balcony, so it¡¯s quite practical.¡±
Therger pieces of furniture such as the television, sofas and beds were gifts by the developer. However, they were all pretty cheap, not more than a few thousand dors.
Fang Shaohua stopped in front of the closet in the master bedroom and took a look inside. He found a few sets of men¡¯s clothing hanging in there, including shirts, coats and pants...
He pulled the drawers open and even found underwear and socks.
It was impossible that these were also provided by the developer, right?
He checked the sizes of the clothes. Even the underwear fit him perfectly.
What did this imply?
Xinxin had him in her heart!
Fang Shaohua was immediately excited by the thought, and could help but stutter. ¡°Xinxin, these clothes...¡±
¡°Oh those...¡± Fang Xinxin calmly said, ¡°I thought that the clothes you used to own when you lived in the Fang home were too old and outdated. I handed them over to the helper, Auntie Gao Ru, and gave her some money to buy new clothes for you. She also bought some kitchen utensils. I didn¡¯t expect her to also...¡±
After a pause, she continued with a shrug. ¡°She even bought you underwear and socks. Aunt Gao said that she knows the size of your socks and underwear. She must have bought them for you. She¡¯s really considerate.¡±
She had never even bought clothes for Bai Qinghao. Naturally, she wouldn¡¯t buy clothes for her own brother as well.
If Bai Qinghao learned that she bought clothes for him, he would be so jealous that he would end up doing somersaults.
Moreover, she had been extremely busy during this period of time.
Working on stocks and business negotiations, appealing her brother¡¯s case, and dealing with the scum from the Fang family.
She also had to ensure that she answered Bai Qinghao¡¯s frequent calls...
She was unbelievably busy.
A sh of disappointment appeared within Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart.
It turned out that she didn¡¯t buy them personally.
Still, for her to think of asking the helper to buy him clothes was enough to touch his heart. ¡°Xinxin, thank you for your hard work.¡±
He took a look around the house. ¡°The house is new, and the environment is good. The rent must be rather high here, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry about anything and live here. I¡¯ve already paid ten years of rent in advance.¡± She lied.
If he found out that she spent the money he gave her to buy this house, he would definitely get upset.
Because that would mean that she turned down his money.
But how could she bear to let her brother live in a rental apartment.
¡°Ten years...¡± he gaped, feeling the pinch in his heart over the expenditure. ¡°Paying that much rent... I¡¯ve made you spend a lot of money.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± She smiled. ¡°You were willing to give me your entire savings. So what if I helped you with some rent? Brother, please don¡¯t refuse it and live here at ease.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± He had no choice but to ept her arrangement. He would be letting her down if he refused her painstaking efforts.
Chapter 216: Shaohua’s Title Deed
Chapter 216: Shaohua¡¯s Title Deed
The apartment¡¯s deed was in her brother¡¯s name. She hid it between the mattress and the headboard of the master bedroom for him to discover in the future.
She took out one of her bank cards and handed it to him. ¡°Brother, there¡¯s some money in this card, you hold onto it for being.
He frowned and didn¡¯t ept it. ¡°How can I take your money?¡±
She pursed her lips unhappily. ¡°You can give me money but I can¡¯t give you money?¡±
Before she used the money that he gave her to buy the apartment, she had tried to trace the source of that money.
A portion of it originated from the dividends that the Fang Group gave him in the past. However, most of it came from scattered sources. She knew that her brother used to take on part-time jobs during his time as a student, and even after bing an adult and working in the Fang group at the request of his father, he still took on some frence financial work.
In other words, most of it was his hard-earned money.
He was willing to give her all his hard-earned money. Now that he was in trouble, it was only natural for her to help him.
¡°You are a girl... I¡¯m a man...¡± He wanted to refuse it, but she objected. ¡°If you refuse, I¡¯ll get angry!¡±
¡°Xinxin... I really cannot take your money...¡± If he really epted it, wouldn¡¯t he be a gigolo?
¡°If you don¡¯t ept, I¡¯ll return your money to you!¡±
While he was feeling helpless, she added further. ¡°I¡¯ve already epted your money, you should also ept my sincerity. Here, take it as I¡¯m lending the money in the card to you. Once you¡¯ve earned it back in the future, you can return it to me.¡±
¡°But...¡±
¡°No more buts!¡± She forcefully shoved the card into his hands. ¡°There¡¯s only a small amount inside, that¡¯s all!¡±
She then changed the topic to prevent any awkwardness. ¡°Brother, you majored in economics, and you¡¯ve always been talented in finance. The situation in the stock market has been pretty goodtely, maybe you can try investing in stocks. Or perhaps, if you have the energy you could start an investmentpany.¡±
¡°That¡¯s a rather good idea. But I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll have to return to prison...¡±
¡°You won¡¯t!¡± She cut in immediately.
¡°Until your case has been sessfully overturned, I will ensure that you remain on parole for medical reasons. I won¡¯t let you re-enter prison, and I¡¯ll definitely help you overturn your case! As long as we can catch Wang Liangping, the man who stole my mobile phone, we will definitely find a breakthrough.¡±
If her own ability wasn¡¯t enough, at most, she would ask Bai Qinghao for help.
However, she doubted that such a situation would arise.
Fang Shaohua was deeply moved by her confidence, as well as the hard work that she had put in for his sake. ¡°Xinxin, thank you.¡±
¡°Our rtionship is no different than that of biological siblings. There is no need for thanks between us.¡± Fang Xinxin deliberately acted ufortable, showing it vividly on her face.
Fang Shaohua could not resist smiling at the way she scrunched her eyebrows. ¡°Alright, in that case, I won¡¯t say ¡®thank you¡¯.¡±
She smiled. ¡°Brother, I still have many things to do. I¡¯m going to make a move first.¡±
¡°Mm,e over whenever you¡¯re free.¡±
He watched her leave with an indifferent look on his face, and only disyed an expression of reluctance after she closed the door behind her.
In fact, he dearly wished that she would stay.
But she had too many things on her te. She had bailed him out due to medical reasons without informing the Fang family. She needed to return home to handle them.
His handsome figure approached the balcony. He looked down toward the district from the 20th floor.
The height made the figures down below look especially small.
Chapter 217: You Can’t Afford This High-End Gym
Chapter 217: You Can¡¯t Afford This High-End Gym
Even from here, he could easily recognise her silhouette as she walked along the path.
She eventually turned around the corner and he lost sight of her.
He looked away gloomily.
Fiddling with the bank card she gave him, he noticed that she had already sent him the login details for online banking, as well as helped him open several stock ounts.
He had assumed that the card contained some living expenses, along with a small amount to y with.
To his surprise, the figure in the ount had six zeroes behind it.
Nine million dors!
He recalled that her lottery tickets were worth thirteen million dors.
In this period, she had spent a lot of money on him. She had nearly wasted all of the lottery prize on him.
He was deeply touched in his heart. He wondered if she was trying to tell him that she was reciprocating his sincerity towards her, with all her might.
Giving him such arge sum without an IOU, was she not worried that he would not return this to her?
She trusted him so much. He would never let her down!
In fact, money was of no concern to him.
Because his heart had been filled entirely with her from a long time ago.It didn¡¯t have space for anything else.
She had likely given him such arge sum of money in hopes that he would cheer up.
He would not allow himself to disappoint her again.
Even if he had yet to redress his grievances, he would still live properly!
He would return ten times the sum of this money to her in the future.
He approached the study. Xinxin had prepared aptop for him.
Fang Shaohua turned on theptop and began studying the major financial happenings of the past three years. He began analyzing the stocks of each major sector with a careful eye.
He then opened the drawer of the desk and found a brand new phone. The contact list contained Fang Xinxin and the part-timer, Gao Ru¡¯s numbers.
Xinxin had mentioned that due to how busy she was recently, most of the items in the house were bought by Auntie Gao Ru. While toying with the phone, he felt warmth in his heart from the consideration shown by her.
A few hourster, right before the markets closed, he bought a few stocks.
...
Fang Xinxin headed to the Sai Teng Gymnasium after leaving the Hong Sheng district.
This was a high-end gym with a luxurious interior. There were facilities for Boxing, Judo, Fitness, Yoga, Dancing, and other major sports. There was even a resting area provided for the guests to enjoy coffee when they were tired along with a shower area.
However, the membership fee was very high.
Her second sister, Fang Manxue had been a member at this gym for many years.
Fang Xinxin didn¡¯t wish to slowly lose weight by walking and running alone. She had barely lost 20 catties during this period.
Right now, losing weight was of utmost importance to her.
Furthermore, running would not necessarily help her to lose weight. It could actually cause her to be bulkier.
She didn¡¯t wish to be bulky. She wanted to obtain a thin and lithe beauty. Thus, a fitness regime was definitely required.
Furthermore, this gym had professional weight loss instructors.
¡°Hello Miss, how may I help you today?¡± the receptionist at the front desk asked her with a smile.
¡°I wish to apply for a membership card...¡± she began, but before she couldplete, she saw Lou Yuna, Weng Jingke and Fang Manxue stepping in through the luxurious entrance.
They eximed loudly in unison. ¡°Fang Xinxin!¡±
All of them were surprised to see her there.
Fang Xinxin nodded slightly to the three of them as a greeting.
Lou Yuna stared at her incredulously. ¡°Fang Xinxin, do you know what ce this is?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it a gym? I¡¯m not illiterate.¡±
¡°I mean to say that the fee here is extremely high. This is the most famous, high-end gym in the city. Most people are reluctant to enroll here. The lowest membership costs around eight thousand dors a year. Did you mistake it for a cheap ce where you could get an annual membership card for ten to twenty dors?¡±
Chapter 218: Benefits Of Engagement
Chapter 218: Benefits Of Engagement
¡°So?¡± Fang Xinxin raised her eyebrows.
Lou Yuna stared at her as though she was an idiot. ¡°A peasant like you isn¡¯t suitable for such an expensive and luxurious ce!¡±
¡°Ain¡¯t that the truth!¡± Weng Jingke echoed the sentiment. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you wear cheap clothes bought from street vendors. You could buy a lifetime worth of such clothes with the cheapest membership here. I think you¡¯re better off saving the cash.¡±
¡°What can she possibly save?¡± Fang Manxue also pitched in venomously. ¡°My third sister doesn¡¯t have any money, not even a dime to her name.¡±
The Fang family had never given any allowances to the useless fatty.
Fang Manxue asked her, with her voice soaked in contempt. ¡°Third sister, you couldn¡¯t have sneakily asked Bai Qinghao for money, right?¡±
Fang Xinxin knew that her second sister was holding some tricks to deal with her. Hah, she was looking forward to the spar.
She replied with a shrug. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t taken a single cent from him. But he did give me a mountain of clothes and shoes worth nearly twenty million dors.¡±
Lou Yuna and Weng Jingke¡¯s eyes grew wide with shock. They said in unison, ¡°He is so generous!¡±
Previously, when they met her at the Fang house, didn¡¯t Butler Zhao mention that the clothes were only worth ten million dors? It turned out that they cost nearly twenty million dors!
The two of them thought that not only did Manxue be rich by being Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, even Fang Xinxin, who was to be his sister-inw, was getting to live a luxurious lifestyle.
The receptionist could not help but be dumbfounded by their conversation. She asked them in a befuddled voice. ¡°Are there really such clothes which are so expensive? Is that figure in USD?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded in affirmation.
She did not wish to wear such expensive clothes, but because Bai Qinghao had bought them for her, she did not have any choice.
The female salesperson asked her. ¡°By Bai Qinghao, are you referring to the CEO of the Sheng Shi Group? The only heir to the Bai Family?¡±
By now, all the other female guests present there were looking in their direction. They were clearly interested to know more.
¡°This...¡± Lou Yuna nced towards Fang Manxue and officially introduced her to everyone. ¡°This is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Miss Fang Manxue.¡±
Then she pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°As for her... she is his future sister-inw.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao actually bought such expensive clothes for his sister-inw...¡± A female guest asked in surprise. ¡°Could it be that he has certain designs on her?¡±
¡°How is that possible?¡± Weng Jingke pointed rudely towards Fang Xinxin¡¯s face. It was covered in so much e that one could barely see her features.
She said, ¡°It¡¯s rumored that Bai Qinghao has never had any lust for women. Besides, there¡¯s no way he could be attracted to her face.¡±
Lou Yuna added. ¡°It¡¯s all because Manxue asked him on her behalf. He is really very generous.¡±
¡°So, that¡¯s the reason.¡± The other guests had a look of understanding on their faces.
Fang Xinxin sneered at the farce being yed out in front of her.
Very good, they were all calling her ugly. Just wait and see, she would soon dazzle all of them with her beauty!
Lou Yuna shook Manxue¡¯s arm. ¡°My good ssmate, my good sister, in future, you have to put in a few good words for me with Bai Qinghao as well.¡±
As long as Bai Qinghao helped her even slightly, the Lou family¡¯s business would be way more sessful.
¡°Why did you speak so much?¡± Fang Manxue deliberately interrupted her. She then apologetically said to the silent Fang Xinxin, ¡°Third sister, I¡¯m sorry, I let you get misunderstood.¡±
On the surface, it looked as though she was apologizing for letting everyone misunderstand that Bai Qinghao had designs on her. In truth, however, she was hoping for Fang Xinxin to not reveal her falsehood and to not tell them who his real fianc¨¦e was.
Fang Xinxin knew her second sister¡¯s habit of letting other people be misled regarding the truth.
In her previous life, she did not reveal it for the sake of kinship.
However, right now...
To worsen her second sister¡¯s suffering, she needed to wait for the right opportunity.
Chapter 219: Highest Tier Membership
Chapter 219: Highest Tier Membership
Lou Yuna red at Fang Xinxin and asked her. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving? Are you hoping that Manxue would purchase the membership for you? Don¡¯t go overboard in taking advantage of her!¡±
Weng Jingke linked her arms with Fang Manxue, appearing as though they were bosom buddies. ¡°Manxue, you can¡¯t always be the good person, doting on your sister all the time. You¡¯ll end up spoiling her. You shouldn¡¯t indulge her like this.¡±
Fang Manxue obviously would not buy the membership for her, but she acted embarrassed and said, ¡°Third sister, as you can see, my two good friends won¡¯t allow me to purchase the membership for you. There¡¯s nothing I can do about it.¡±
The edge of Fang Xinxin lips curled up sarcastically. ¡°Second sister has never spoiled me. Moreover, she has never given me a single cent. Don¡¯t pretend to be a generous person.¡±
¡°You..¡± Weng Jingke got annoyed.
Fang Manxue was worried that Fang Xinxin would reveal her identity as Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e. She stopped Weng Jingke from speaking further. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
Fang Xinxin scoffed and rolled her eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to deal with you.¡± She turned to the receptionist and said crisply, ¡°Help me sign up for a membership.¡±
She handed her identity card over to her.
The female salesperson pointed to the price list and asked her. ¡°Pardon me, but which membership tier would you like to sign up for?¡±
Lou Yuna said sarcastically, ¡°Ma¡¯am, why are you bothering to ask Fang Xinxin? She¡¯s a peasant. She has to beg her sister, Fang Manxue, even for clothes. Of course, she can only get the lowest level of membership.¡±
As long as one was interested in being a member of the gym, the receptionist would be polite to the person. She read the name on the credentials and said, ¡°Miss Fang Xinxin, please make your choice. No matter which tier you choose, you¡¯ll still be a distinguished member of the gym.¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Lou Yuna snorted.
¡°I already said she is poor, and yet you¡¯re still being polite! Don¡¯t be surprised when she doesn¡¯t have the money to settle the bill.¡±
¡°I doubt that would happen...¡± She would worryter if Fang Xinxin really could not afford it. It was their policy to prevent any potential members from slipping away.
Fang Xinxin scanned the row of prices. She looked at the highest price and said, ¡°The highest supreme tier will do.¡±
¡°Okay...¡± The female salesperson answered politely before her eyes grew wide and she stammered. ¡°W-what?!¡±
Several other guests standing nearby were stunned as well. Someone shouted in surprise. ¡°The supreme tier would cost you a hundred and fifty thousand dors a year!¡±
¡°Ever since this club opened up, there hasn¡¯t been a supreme member. She is the first!¡± Several fitness coaches approached her.
Lou Yuna, Weng Jingke and Fang Manxue were shocked. Their mouths opened so wide that one could shove a goose egg in each one of them.
Lou Yuna quickly returned to her senses. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t pretend to be rich when you¡¯re not.¡±
¡°Only you idiots would believe her.¡± Weng Jingke put on a mocking expression. ¡°If she can really afford it, I¡¯ll broadcast myself live eating shit!¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered coldly. ¡°I¡¯ll hold you to your word, Miss Weng. Don¡¯t go back on itter.¡±
¡°Hmph, why would I go back on my promise? What about you, what will you do if you can¡¯t pay...¡± Before Weng Jingke could finish, Fang Xinxin handed a card over to the receptionist. ¡°Payment by card.¡±
The receptionist entered a number on the terminal, and handed it to her for her pin number. ¡°Miss Fang Xinxin, I have to reconfirm with you. The supreme membership costs a hundred and fifty thousand dors!¡±
Fang Xinxin realised that arge crowd of people were watching her. She hid the terminal to prevent them from seeing the number pad and quickly entered the pin.
Chapter 220: Little Stocks God
Chapter 220: Little Stocks God
At this point, this amount of money was nothing more than peanuts to her.
She had won thirteen million dors in the lottery, and secured four hundred and fifty thousand dors from the chairman of the Gu Group. She had invested those funds into the stock market. By using the memories from her past life, she had already made a ton of profit. All the stocks she had bought ended up skyrocketing before she sold them.
Her money increased by approximately ten percent a day. Even on bad days, she was earning around three to five percent of gains.
Her money has been increasing with each passing day. As of now, frequent investors were calling her, ¡®Little Stocks God¡¯. However, none of them knew of her true identity.
She had spent some money trying to overturn her brother¡¯s case. She had also given him some amount to spend.
However, she still had arge sum with her.
There was nothing wrong with rewarding herself a little.
¡°The transaction has gone through!¡± the female receptionist eximed loudly.
All the staff in the gym, including the coaches and salesperson, bowed to her and said, ¡°We wee Miss Fang Xinxin to our gym!¡±
Those with money were always the King. None of the other guests would receive such honorable treatment.
The crowd looked at her with envy in their eyes.
Lou Yuna and Weng Jingke stared in shock as Fang Xinxin signed the invoice. Their jaws were in the danger of nearly dislocating from how wide their mouths were open.
¡°How is this possible?¡± Weng Jingke lost her bearings and shouted. ¡°Where did you get so much money from?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, weren¡¯t you penniless?¡± Lou Yuna was doubting her eyes, but it was a fact that she had bought the most expensive membership.
Only Fang Manxue knew the true source of Fang Xinxin¡¯s money.
This fat trash. God only knew why she was so lucky. She had managed to snag a rich idiot despite her ugly face. More than ten days ago, the man had bought her an apartment and paid for it in a lump sum. Now, he actually gave her the money to be a privileged member!!
Thinking of the appearance of the middle-aged idiot, she could not help but curl her lips in disdain.
She did not envy her for having a sugar daddy. Only Bai Qinghao could ensure that she would be permanently wealthy!
Her foolish actions would likely cause her to lose Bai Qinghao, who was worth more than every diamond in the world!
Fang Manxue deliberately asked her. ¡°Third sister, you¡¯re spending sovishly. Did you sell off the clothes Bai Qinghao bought for you?¡±
If that was the case, she could add another charge to her in front of the man.
¡°What do you think?¡± Fang Xinxin answered with a hint of ambiguity.
¡°I¡¯m asking you because I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have to answer everything you ask.¡±
Weng Jingke couldn¡¯t care less about the source of her money. She tried to sneak away quietly while their attention was upied.
But Fang Xinxin quickly stepped in front of her. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±
Weng Jingke anxiously replied. ¡°Oh, I just remembered that I have somewhere to be...¡±
As she spoke, she walked around Fang Xinxin and tried to run away. Fang Xinxin grabbed her by the cor and said, ¡°Broadcast yourself eating shit before you go.¡±
Weng Jingke¡¯s face turned as purple as a pig¡¯s liver. With her friends, Lou Yuna and Fang Manxue by her side, she gave up on escaping.
She confronted Fang Xinxin in an aggressive manner. ¡°What broadcast? The Fang family doesn¡¯t give you any money. How did you get so much money as a student?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, the source of my money is cleaner than your face.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered. ¡°You are not qualified to know the details though!¡±
¡°You...¡± Weng Jingke scoffed. ¡°Anyways, I refuse to broadcast! What can you do to me?¡±
¡°An untrustworthy person should watch out in case heaven decides to punish them.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at the cleaner mopping in the lobby. Next to her was a bucket full of muddy water.
Chapter 221: Karma’s Visit
Chapter 221: Karma¡¯s Visit
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold and she gathered her mental energy. As Weng Jingke¡¯s foot slipped against the ground, she activated her powers and worsened her fall. Weng Jingke fell face-forward into the bucket of water next to the mop.
Everyone observing the scene was dumbstruck.
¡°That was a beautiful fall!¡± Fang Xinxin praised the tableau generously.
Weng Jingke choked on the dirty water while the cleaningdy was astonished. ¡°Aiya, I just mopped the toilet!¡±
¡°It seems like you really ate shit! Haha!¡± Fang Xinxinughed.
The crowd started to chuckle as well. One of the guests spoke up. ¡°It seems like we cannot be careless with our words. God is always watching us. Karma can really be delivered so swiftly.¡±
Fang Manxue rushed over to her friend¡¯s side. She had originally nned to help Weng Jingke up. However, when she saw that Weng Jingke¡¯s hair and face were soaking wet, and that the water had just been used to clean the toilet, she was disgusted. But she pretended to be concerned. ¡°Jingke, are you all right?¡±
Although her words were full of sympathy, she made no move to help her up. If the water touched her, she would stink for the rest of the day.
It was the cleaningdy who finally helped Weng Jingke get up. ¡°Littledy, are you all right?¡±
¡°Jingke, you poor thing, why were you so careless?¡± Lou Yuna also tried to console her, but made no effort to actually help.
Weng Jingke coughed repeatedly. She dry heaved loudly, attempting to vomit out the water she had swallowed.
Fang Manxue quickly went to the counter to take a bottle of water for her. ¡°Gargle with this.¡±
Dirty water was dripping from Weng Jingke¡¯s head and clothes. She gargled and spat the water out repeatedly, stopping only when the bottle was empty. Right after, she began screaming as though no one was watching. ¡°Aaaaah!¡±
Everyone near the reception area nearly turned deaf from her screams.
After venting, she turned in rage towards the cleaningdy. ¡°What¡¯s your problem! Why were you cleaning at this time?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry...¡± The cleaningdy apologised repeatedly.
¡°Earlier, there was a child who was eating an ice cream. It dripped a bit on the floor. My boss asked me to clean it up. To prevent the floor from being slippery, I used a dry mop.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care about all that. I spent three hundred plus dors on my clothes. You have topensate me!¡± Weng Jingke refused to listen to her exnation.
Fang Xinxin did not want to implicate the cleaningdy. ¡°Weng Jingke, you were the one who walked forward without using your eyes. You fell straight into her bucket. Don¡¯t you feel shameless ming someone else? What is the opinion of the people present here?¡±
The people standing there also thought that Weng Jingke had fallen on the bucket by ident. They all began speaking up for the cleaningdy. ¡°That¡¯s right. Littledy, don¡¯t try to rip someone off like that.¡±
¡°Since you fell on your own, you should take responsibility for it. Besides, your clothes can be washed. It¡¯s not as if the cleaningdy sshed dirty water on you...¡±
Fang Xinxin mocked her. ¡°Weng Jingke, when will your live broadcast begin? Come, let me bring you to the toilet. You can start immediately!¡±
She pretended to reach for her.
Weng Jingke¡¯splexion turned pale with anger. She stomped her feet in frustration and left the ce unhappily.
She was going home for a shower. She would wash herself ten times!
Fang Manxue and Lou Yuna red harshly at Fang Xinxin before they followed her out.
Fang Xinxin worked out in the gym for three hours until she was covered in sweat. Then, she made her way back to the Fang home.
The moment she stepped through the door, she found Bai Qinghao seated on the living room sofa with a heavy and cold expression. The two bodyguards standing behind him were armed with guns.
Chapter 222: Misleading Charges
Chapter 222: Misleading Charges
Weng Jingke, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai stood a respectable distance away from him. Their heads were bowed in fear.
The temperature in the living room had dropped by several degrees due to Bai Qinghao¡¯s angry expression. The frigid cold left their hearts trembling in anxiety.
Fang Ln nervously lifted her head and nced around the ce.
Fang Xinxin had noticed something amiss with the atmosphere from the moment she stepped into the front yard. After entering the living room, she felt that the atmosphere was even stranger.
Fang Ln directly grabbed Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist and dragged her over. She then began shouting. ¡°Xinxin, you brat! Where did you get the courage to do something like this!¡±
¡°Do what?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
¡°Weng Jingke has told us everything!¡± Fang Ln said this angrily. ¡°Do you admit it?¡±
Anyone would assume she was referring to the conflict that she had with Weng Jingke earlier.
In truth, Fang Ln also spoke in this manner intentionally to mislead her.
It would be best if Fang Xinxin directly admitted to her wrongdoings. This way, they wouldn¡¯t have to take as many twists and turns.
Fang Xinxin was not as foolishly filial as she had been in her past life. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. I just came home. What are you asking me to admit to?¡±
¡°You know your own wrongdoings better than anyone!¡± Fang Ln shouted sternly. ¡°Bai Qinghao is angry. Hurry up and apologise to him. He might still forgive you if you apologise now!¡±
Fang Xinxin kept silent. If this had been in her past life, she most likely would have followed her mother¡¯s instructions.
However, right now...
As she took in Fang Ln¡¯s expression, she was certain that... she was scheming against her!
Fang Ln¡¯s goosebumps raised from her stare. She could not help but urge her. ¡°Hurry up!¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her mother¡¯s hand away and indifferently entered the living room. ¡°What? What are you up to? You haven¡¯t exined the situation to me till now. What do you want me to apologise for? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything wrong.¡±
¡°As if you haven¡¯t!¡± It was Fang Manxue¡¯s turn to speak. ¡°We¡¯re talking about the matter Weng Jingke brought up. We¡¯re all ssmates. There¡¯s no way she would nder you.¡±
Even Fang Manxue attempted to deceive Fang Xinxin into admitting her wrongdoing.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze oscited between Fang Manxue and Weng Jingke.
Weng Jingke had already changed out of her dirty clothes. Her hair was also styled differently now. This meant that...
Fang Manxue had found the spare time to weave bullshit in front of Weng Jingke!
She recalled that Fang Manxue had secretly followed her a while back. She must have misunderstood something at that time.
She had stayed silent about it for so many days. It was clear she did not intend to bring the matter up herself, and make use of someone else¡¯s hand.
Fang Xinxin had just had a conflict with Weng Jingke at the gym. This meant that... Weng Jingke was an extremely suitable person to take care of this matter.
Fang Xinxinfortably approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side and sat down next to him. ¡°Stop speaking in circles. I don¡¯t have the mood to guess what you¡¯re going at. Come on. Who did what? Let¡¯s rify things.¡±
Fang Manxue intentionally ignored her words and pretended to have seen something unbelievable. ¡°You still dare to sit by CEO Bai¡¯s side?¡±
¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
She was not afraid of Bai Qinghao¡¯s frighteningly stern expression.
This was because she had learned that, as long as she did not betray him, he would always give into her.
A hint of light shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. He nced at Weng Jingke andmanded. ¡°Repeat the words you said earlier!¡±
His stern tone was extremely oppressive. Everyone listening could not help but respond to hismand.
Weng Jingke stuttered. ¡°CEO Bai, twelve days ago, I identally witnessed Fang Xinxin entering a vi in Qian Shan Wan. She spent more than an hour there. When she came out of the ce, her clothes were untidy and the male owner of the vi unwillingly sent her off. It¡¯s clear that their rtionship is unusual.¡±
Chapter 223: Scapegoat
Chapter 223: Scapegoat
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression remained unmoved like the surface of ake. ¡°Is it unusual just because you say it is?¡±
Weng Jingke immediately caught onto the main point. ¡°In other words, you¡¯re admitting that you visited Qian Shan Wan twelve days ago?¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
¡°Very good! I went back and investigated this matter. The owner of that vi is Sun Zhiming. Coincidentally, on the day you visited, both his wife and children were not present.¡± Weng Jingke put on an expression of disdain.
¡°A young woman like you spent more than an hour in a vi alone with a middle-aged uncle. Don¡¯t you feel any shame? Don¡¯t you know how to avoid being noticed? Of course, since you are his kept woman, there¡¯s nothing for you to worry about.¡±
Fang Xinxin harrumphed in return. ¡°Jingke, ah, you¡¯re using someone of such a dirty matter. But where is your evidence? Your teeth are white and your lips are red. With the way you¡¯re ndering me right now, aren¡¯t you worried that you¡¯ll have an endless supply of shit to eat in the future?¡±
¡°You!¡± Weng Jingke gritted her teeth. ¡°I bet you¡¯re pretending to be calm when you know you¡¯re in trouble.¡±
¡°Xinxin, how could you say something so crude?¡± Fang Ln reprimanded her. ¡°Our Fang family is an upper-middle ss family. We are well-educated. ¡®Shit¡¯... how could you say a word like that?¡±
Fang Xinxin refuted her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say it too?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Ln saw that Bai Qinghao waspletely unbothered by Fang Xinxin¡¯s words. She immediately brought back the topic.
She pretended to be a loving mother and said, ¡°Jingke, you are ssmates with our Xinxin. I believe that our Xinxin won¡¯t have such rtions with a middle-aged man. You can¡¯t nder our Xinxin¡¯s reputation.¡±
She then showed a trusting expression towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Daughter, Mom is on your side. I believe in your innocence.¡±
¡°Auntie, I¡¯m not someone who lies. I have evidence.¡± Weng Jingke brought out a stack of photos from her bag. ¡°CEO Bai, please look at this.¡±
Bai Qinghao did not respond, nor did he make any move to take the photos from her.
Jingke could only ce the photos on the coffee table.
Fang Xinxin picked them up. ¡°Aren¡¯t these just photos of Sun Zhihong sending me out? It¡¯s very normal. He doesn¡¯t look unhappy to be sending me away. My clothes are also tidy.¡±
¡°When I saw the both of you, your clothes were messy. But, by the time I took these photos, you had already tidied yourself up...¡±
Fang Xinxin looked at her as though she was an idiot. This dumb woman was happily epting the role of a scapegoat.
The person who had followed after her that day had clearly been Fang Manxue.
Since this Weng girl enjoyed being the scapegoat so much, she could only grant her wishes. ¡°My good ssmate, could you please grow some brain cells? I¡¯m not stupid. Even if I was meeting someone secretly, would I leave the door looking unkempt? Besides, Sun Zhihong is an elder. How could I possibly have any rtions with him?¡±
¡°Are there no rtions just because you say so?¡± Weng Jingke mocked her. ¡°I followed you for the entire day that day. After leaving Hong Shan Wan, you visited the bank to check your ount bnce. After that, you went to buy a house.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao lifted his brows silently. Why was his precious girl buying a house? If she liked houses, he could easily gift twenty vis to her.
Jingke assumed that Bai Qinghao was convinced by her words. She turned to Fang Ln. ¡°Auntie Fang, you didn¡¯t give Fang Xinxin any money to buy a house, did you?¡±
¡°No.¡± Fang Ln shook her head honestly.
Weng Jingke sighed. ¡°The houses in the city centre are so expensive. Each apartment can go up to a million dors. Fang Xinxin, you actually paid for an apartment in the Hong Sheng district at one go!¡±
Chapter 224: Improper Relations
Chapter 224: Improper Rtions
She looked at Fang Xinxin in disdain. ¡°I spoke to the property agent, Liu Ling, who took you to view the apartment. She was also amazed that you were able to pay for it upfront despite your young appearance. Fang Xinxin, you even boasted to her that the money came from an old man! Everyone, let¡¯s think about it. She spent an hour alone with Sun Zhiming, then left to check her ount bnce before buying an apartment... She must have gone to check how much money he had given her, correct?¡±
Fang Ln immediately acted dumbstruck. ¡°Xinxin, you used the money you received from a middle-aged man to buy a house? How could you do something so shameless!¡±
Fang Manxue also had put on a disappointed expression. She reprimanded Fang Xinxin with heartache in her voice. ¡°Since young, we¡¯ve been raised strictly in the Fang home. We were taught to never do anything that would ruin our family¡¯s reputation. Yet, you actually went ahead and indulged in improper rtions with an old man. Third sister, you¡¯ve really let us down!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Long Shuhai alsomented. ¡°Xinxin, although I¡¯m not your father, I¡¯m still your second uncle. You... ai!¡± He swung his arms down dramatically, as though Xinxin hadpletely disgraced them.
Manxue took a peek at Bai Qinghao who was seated there silently. To her surprise, he did not look to be the slightest bit angry. His expression was heavy and difficult to read. No one could figure out what was on his mind.
She gave Weng Jingke a look, indicating for her to try harder.
There was no way Bai Qinghao would not notice their little exchange. The corner of his lips curved into a mocking smile.
Unfortunately, Weng Jingke assumed that he was mocking Fang Xinxin for being shameless. She immediately became excited. If she had known he was deriding her, she would have lost her smile.
Fang Xinxin nced at Fang Manxue, Long Shuhai and Fang Ln, one after another. ¡°You three idiots! Who are you putting on this show for?¡±
¡°Who are you calling an idiot?¡± Fang Ln raged. ¡°I¡¯m your mother! Is there anyone who speaks to their mother the way you do?¡±
¡°Whoever responded to my words is the idiot.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Are there any mothers like you? Without rifying the facts and only by looking at a few ambiguous photos, you assume that your daughter is being kept by an older man? Do you have the right to call yourself my mother?¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Ln was stifled with anger. She wished to peel the damn wench¡¯s skin out at this moment.
To keep a backdoor open for herself, she asked her daughter. ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you exin this situation to me? Where did the moneye from? Why did you visit a middle-aged man¡¯s home alone?¡±
Fang Xinxin had gone there to discuss proper business.
A new game had just been released overseas. It was named the Fantasy of War. At the moment, it was extremely popr abroad but had yet to be avable locally.
ording to her memory, this game would be extremely popr in China.
She wanted to obtain the rights to distribute the game in the country.
She had spent some money to gather the information and found out that the person-in-charge of the game¡¯s distributionpany, Mr. Abott was currently a guest in Sun Zhiming¡¯s home.
Moreover, Sun Zhiming was the father of her ssmate, Sun Jiamu.
She had visited their home with the excuse of visiting her ssmate. This opportunity had allowed her to meet Mr. Abott. For the past few days, they had met several more times to hold a discussion and she had finally managed to obtain the rights to distribute Fantasy of War in China with a five million dors contract.
Fang Xinxin did not wish to go into much detail with the Fang family, or with Weng Jingke who was currently being used by her sister. ¡°I went to Uncle Sun¡¯s home to visit Sun Jiamu, ah. I didn¡¯t expect her not to be at home on that day.¡±
Weng Jingke was confused. ¡°Sun Jiamu?¡±
Sun Jiamu¡¯s appearance was quite outstanding. However, she always maintained a low-profile. Still, they were all ssmates and Weng Jingke was naturally familiar with her name.
¡°Sun Zhiming is our ssmate, Sun Jiamu¡¯s father.¡±
Chapter 225: Two Unfamiliar Men
Chapter 225: Two Unfamiliar Men
Fang Manxue nced at Fang Xinxin in confusion. ¡°You¡¯ve never interacted with Sun Jiamu. Why did you suddenly look for her?¡±
Although she was well-connected at school, she had never heard that Sun Zhiming was Sun Jiamu¡¯s father. How did this fat wench find that out?
¡°We¡¯re ssmates, ah.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged carelessly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with hanging out with her?¡±
She picked up the stack of photos on the table and tossed it at Weng Jingke¡¯s face. ¡°Aren¡¯t you also always at my house?¡±
¡°Then let¡¯s assume that you went to visit Sun Jiamu.¡± Weng Jingke was angered by her actions. However, as Bai Qinghao was present, she did not dare to go out of line and could only continue asking. ¡°That day, I heard that the Sun family¡¯sdy and children were all not at home. Since Sun Jiamu wasn¡¯t at home, why did you stay in the vi with Sun Zhiming for more than an hour?¡±
¡°Who said we were alone?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Mr. Abott was also present.¡±
¡°Who is Mr. Abott?¡± Weng Jingke felt that Fang Manxue had given her too little information. There wasn¡¯t enough for her to use. She could not help but re at Fang Manxue in anger.
Fang Manxue looked at her with an innocent expression.
Fang Xinxin responded openly. ¡°He is Sun Jiamu¡¯s father¡¯s friend.¡±
¡°Xinxin ah, you¡¯re a young girl, yet you went to someone else¡¯s home alone...¡± Fang Ln pointed out the problem with the situation. ¡°To think that there were only two older men with you in that house, that¡¯s not very suitable, is it?¡±
¡°Mom, you spent every single day with Long Shuhai in this home.¡± Fang Xinxin responded with a cold smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you find that inappropriate as well?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s expression changed slightly. But she insisted unreasonably. ¡°There are a lot of helpers with us in the Fang home. Besides, the both of us are innocent. We aren¡¯t afraid of anyone pointing fingers.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Xinxin sneered.
From what she recalled, she had seen Long Shuhai visiting her mother¡¯s room atte hours several times. Each time, he only left after quite a few hours had passed.
She remembered asking Fang Ln about it.
Fang Ln had always reacted by iming that her mood was poor, and she had cried alone while thinking of her father.
She had insisted that Long Shuhai coaxed her for many hours before her emotions stabilised.
At the time, Fang Xinxin believed in her response.
She used to put her full trust in her mother. This was because she assumed her mother was taking good care of her father. Even if she did find something to be amiss, she was able to tolerate it.
But she never expected to learn that Fang Ln never gave her father any care. She had left him alone in the hospital to suffer.
Right now, the more she looked at Long Shuhai and Fang Ln, the more she felt that they were a cheating couple.
¡°Stop shifting the conversation away from the topic.¡± Fang Manxue did not wish to let Fang Xinxin off so easily. ¡°You spent an hour at someone else¡¯s home with two unfamiliar men. Third sister, could it be that Weng Jingke was speaking the truth? Did one of those men give you money?¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t wrong Mr. Abott.¡± Fang Xinxin was slightly annoyed. ¡°He is a good man who loves his wife dearly. While he is temporarily living in the Sun home, his wife has also been apanying him. Sun Jiamu¡¯s father also dotes on his wife a lot.¡±
¡°...¡± Weng Jingke fell silent.
There was another woman also present in the house!
Weng Jingke was unwilling to admit defeat. ¡°You don¡¯t have any evidence. How do we know if you made up stories about a so-called Mr. Abott and his wife...¡±
Bai Qinghao, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up. His tone was as cold and heavy as ice. ¡°The couple are indeed living temporarily in the Sun home.¡±
From Bai Qinghao¡¯s response, it was clear he believed in Fang Xinxin. Wen Jingke became flustered. She understood that no one could bear the consequences of lying to Bai Qinghao.
Now that she had created this show, between Fang Xinxin and her, only one of them could survive!
¡°CEO Bai...¡± Weng Jingke gripped onto thest few threads of her survival. ¡°The property agent, Liu Ling said that Fang Xinxin admitted to receiving the money from an old man!¡±
Chapter 226: Kept By An Old Man (Part 1)
Chapter 226: Kept By An Old Man (Part 1)
Bai Qinghao had been indifferent all this time, but his expression finally changed slightly. He spoke up with a threatening tone. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I transferred eight million dors to your ount, and you returned it with a hundred excuses. You better exin this matter to me. Where did the moneye from?¡±
Mr. Abott was the person-in-charge of a game distributionpany. Although thepany was not very popr at the moment, from what he knew, it had quite a bit of potential.
It was clear that Fang Xinxin had approached him for business purposes.
¡°What!¡± Weng Jingke was astonished. ¡°CEO Bai, you actually transferred eight million dors to Fang Xinxin!¡±
She struggled to believe that Commandar Bai took such good care of his fat and ugly sister-inw.
She really wished that she had some connections with the Bai family.
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was extremely poor.
However, she understood that since Bai Qinghao had previously invested more than billion dors in the Fang home for Fang Xinxin, eight million dors was but a small sum for him.
She was really envious.
Most people struggled to earn eight million dors in their entire lifetime.
Fang Ln and Long Shuhai were simrly angered.
Manxue was so outstanding yet Bai Qinghao refused to take a single look at her. The dumb trash was so ugly and fat, yet he treated her like a precious gem. They were truly stifled with anger!
¡°Jingke, don¡¯t be so surprised. CEO Bai has always been generous. Besides, it¡¯s only right that he takes care of Fang Xinxin.¡± Fang Manxue was worried that Weng Jingke would realise that Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e.
Hence, she intentionally spoke ambiguously. She then tugged at her sleeves. ¡°When you spoke to the property agent that day, could it be that she had recalled wrongly? There¡¯s no way my third sister would ept money from an old man. Should we call again to reconfirm?¡±
On the surface, it seemed as though she believed in Fang Xinxin. In truth, she was looking for evidence to prove that Fang Xinxin had taken another man¡¯s money.
Once they brought out concrete evidence that Fang Xinxin was being kept by an old man, even if Bai Qinghao did not kill her immediately, he would make it impossible for her to stand up straight again!
In fact, these matters werepletely unrted to Weng Jingke. Earlier, after Weng Jingke had left the gym, she had gone home to take a shower. The memory of Fang Xinxin¡¯s behaviour had caused her teeth to itch with anger, and Fang Manxue had apanied her to chat for several hours. Fang Manxue had then created several misunderstandings about Fang Xinxin in front of her.
Fang Manxue had said that she knew Fang Xinxin was being kept by an older man. Although she was disgracing the Fang family, Fang Manxue had decided to take their sibling rtionship into ount and not spread the matter. However, after she witnessed the way Xinxin bullied Jingke, she felt very unhappy.
Jingke saw that Manxue valued her as a friend, and was gratified that she was willing to punish her own sister for her. She was also lured in by the benefits Fang Manxue dangled in front of her and under her instigation, she took on the role of revealing the truth about Fang Xinxin.
Coincidentally, Bai Qinghao came to the Fang home. Thus, the two of them made ns and coordinated their speech to put up this performance.
She originally thought that they possessed concrete evidence for the matter, and it would be a breeze trying to ruin Fang Xinxin. However, she never expected things to be much moreplicated.
Bai Qinghao did not seem angry from start to finish. It was only now that he seemed somewhat upset, but not really...
Manxue was simrly surprised. She had expected Fang Xinxin to be flustered, and to make attempts to conceal the truth. She never expected the wench to remain this open after having rtions with another man!
¡°That¡¯s right, Jingke, ah. You are Xinxin¡¯s ssmate. You can¡¯t wrong my daughter.¡± Fang Ln also chipped in to inme the matter further.
Fang Xinxin understood the situation clearly. Fang Ln and Fang Manxue had chosen a good scapegoat. Even if someone had to die today, it wouldn¡¯t be them.
She could not help but give Weng Jingke a pitying look.
Weng Jingke immediately shot her a look of disdain. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯ll give Liu Ling a call right now. Let¡¯s see what other excuses you have up your sleeve!¡±
Chapter 227: Kept By An Old Man (Part 2)
Chapter 227: Kept By An Old Man (Part 2)
Weng Jingke immediately dialled the number that she got from Fang Manxue earlier.
The atmosphere in the living room immediately underwent a subtle change. It was as though these were moments before the end of a storm and the clouds were about to clear up.
Several of the Fang family members could not conceal their excited expressions.
Bai Qinghao on the other hand was expressionless. He did not reveal any of his emotions and no one could understand his thoughts.
The call was quickly answered.
¡°Hello!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s polite voice could be heard from the other end.
¡°May I know if this is Liu Ling, the property agent from XXpany?¡± Weng Jingke switched the audio to speaker mode. The other party¡¯s voice could be clearly heard in the living room.
¡°Yes. May I know who is speaking...¡±
¡°Oh, I see.¡± Weng Jingke continued politely. ¡°I wanted to check if Fang Xinxin purchased an apartment in the Hong Sheng district ten days ago? She¡¯s the person who paid the entire sum at one go. Do you remember her?¡±
¡°Of course I remember. There are very few customers who do that.¡±
¡°At the time, you mentioned to me that Fang Xinxin told you that her money came from an old man...¡±
Before she could finish asking, Liu Ling cut her off. ¡°Miss, who exactly are you? I won¡¯t reveal confidential matters about my clients to you.¡±
¡°You shouldn¡¯t bother about who I am. Didn¡¯t you ept a thousand dors from me? I¡¯m using the money to purchase information from you right now.¡± In truth, the person who had given Liu Ling the money was Fang Manxue. However, given that quite some time had passed, and both their voices were simr, the other party naturally did not notice the difference. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re denying it now?¡±
Liu Li responded decisively. ¡°I admit it. Of course I¡¯ll admit it.¡±
Weng Jingke became extremely agitated. She covered her phone so that Liu Ling could not hear her and lowered her voice to look at Bai Qinghao. ¡°You must have heard that. I was speaking the truth!¡±
Fang Ln immediately became overwhelmed with joy. Her wrinkles nearly disappeared due to happiness. However, she still pretended to be heartbroken. ¡°Xinxin, ah, I thought Jingke was ying a joke! You, you... how could you have such a rtionship with an old man... you, you...¡±
She appeared as though she could not take the blow and was about to faint.
Long Shuhai immediately held her in his arms. ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t be heartbroken. Even if Xinxin has disappointed you, you still have Manxue.¡±
At the thought that Fang Xinxin was about to meet her end, Fang Manxue was just as excited as her mother. However, she decided to be tactful and to speak up for Fang Xinxin. ¡°CEO Bai, my third sister is young. She didn¡¯t intend to cause any harm.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. CEO Bai, you have to forgive my Xinxin!¡± Fang Ln clutched her chest. She appeared on the brink of tears.
In truth, both of them understood that Bai Qinghao would never ept a betrayal.
The more they begged for mercy on Fang Xinxin¡¯s behalf, the more she was doomed.
Fang Xinxin pped for them in admiration. ¡°Look at my wonderful mother and second sister. Their acting is outstanding. Through their emotional lines, they¡¯ve hammered down my so-called guilty sentence perfectly.¡±
Fang Ln was enraged. ¡°What do you mean by so-called? Bai Qinghao treated you so well, yet you went to receive money from another old man. You¡¯re clearly in the wrong!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Manxue felt extremely envious everytime she recalled this matter. ¡°You¡¯ve really let CEO Bai down!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at them coldly. ¡°You wish to ruin me so badly?¡±
¡°How can that be. Mom just wants the best for you.¡±
¡°As your second sister, I also hope for you to always be doing well.¡±
Ln and Manxue had been on the losing end too many times. They had learnt to be cautious and would not reveal their true colours until they were certain that Fang Xinxin was doomed.
Chapter 228: Clarification
Chapter 228: rification
Defense was the best form of attack.
Fang Xinxin nced at the mother daughter duo. It was truly bing harder to deal with them.
Weng Jingke shot a look of disdain towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Fang Xinxin? Your second sister and mother are both so kind. How can you misunderstand that they are trying to harm you?¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Fang Xinxin burst intoughter. ¡°ssmate Weng, I¡¯ve never seen a more useful scapegoat than you. You¡¯re so obedient to bend backwards in fulfilling their will.¡±
Weng Jingke¡¯s expression was extremely poor. ¡°What nonsense are you speaking? I¡¯m not anyone¡¯s scapegoat!¡±
Fang Xinxin was toozy to exin it to her. ¡°Since you won¡¯t admit it, you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences yourself.¡±
Weng Jingke spoke up firmly. ¡°Fang Xinxin! I¡¯m not acting under anyone¡¯s instigation. I¡¯m just unhappy with you for being so shameless and for having a rtionship with an older man!¡±
Fang Manxue had told Jingke that as long as she ruined Fang Xinxin, she would take care of the Weng family from there on. There would be endless benefits for them to collect.
She had been extremely moved by this offer.
Fang Xinxin was only a sister-inw, yet, when Fang Manxue said some good words about her to Bai Qinghao, Fang Xinxin actually received clothes and shoes worth up to millions of dors.
With the way Weng Jingke was acting right now, she was certain she would benefit even more!
¡°Very good.¡± Fang Xinxin responded crisply. ¡°I left you with an escape route, but you don¡¯t seem to want it. Since you wish to be responsible for this matter, go ahead. It¡¯s true that I took a man¡¯s money to buy an apartment in the Hong Sheng district. However, the man I¡¯m referring to is my elder brother, Fang Shaohua.¡±
¡°How can that be!¡± Fang Ln was immediately angered. ¡°Why would Fang Shaohua have any money? Three years ago, when he was jailed, I visited him once. When I asked him, he told me that he didn¡¯t have any money!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Manxue was simrly angered. ¡°Why would Brother give you that much money? When did you visit him? I¡¯m also his sister. Why didn¡¯t he give me anything?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere instantly turned heavy and everyone present could not help but tremble.
Fang Xinxin understood that with Bai Qinghao¡¯s personality, even if the money hade from her brother, he would get upset.
Thus, she exined it clearly. ¡°My brother gave me a million dors to help him buy an apartment. As you all know, property prices have been rising recently. He was worried he wouldn¡¯t be able to buy anything by the time he is released. Hence, he requested me to help him buy an apartment.¡±
In fact, her brother had given the money to her for her own use. However, she did not wish to ept it and had decided to help him buy an apartment instead.
She only exined it in this way to prevent Bai Qinghao¡¯s jealousy from erupting.
But Fang Ln refused to believe it. ¡°You make it sound even better than singing! If Shaohua really wanted to buy an apartment, he should have asked his mother...¡±
¡°As a mother, you¡¯ve wasted all the money that my father earned.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°This also includes my second sSister. My brother knows the both of you all too well. If he gave the money to you guys, would there be anything left? How could he possibly hand his hard-earned money over to you? I¡¯m the only person who won¡¯t take a single cent of my brother¡¯s savings. By the way, a few days ago, after leaving Sun Zhiming¡¯s home, I went to the bank to check the bnce in my brother¡¯s bank card. Unlike what you guys imed, I didn¡¯t receive any money from any man.¡±
Fang Manxue saw that the situation was strange and immediately changed her words. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®you guys¡¯? Weng Jingke was the one saying that. From the start, I believed in you.¡±
Weng Jingke saw that Fang Manxue changed her stance in a split second and was now iming to be unrted to the matter. Her expression immediately turned poor.
Chapter 229: Old Man
Chapter 229: Old Man
¡°I used my brother¡¯s card to pay for the apartment. The apartment was also signed under his name.¡± Fang Xinxin stared at Bai Qinghao with wide, honest eyes. ¡°There are records for the transaction. You can check the papers for the ownership of the apartment.¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to check?¡± Bai Qinghao returned Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze with a doting look. ¡°I already know about this.¡±
Fang Xinxin paused. She then asked him unhappily. ¡°You investigated my actions behind my back?¡±
¡°No.¡± His voice was calm and as cold as ice. ¡°The one I investigated was Fang Shaohua. I was keeping tabs on his ounts.¡±
He had been uninterested in Fang Shaohua.
However, he saw that his fianc¨¦e was extremely concerned about him. Although he had promised not to interfere, it did not mean he could not keep an eye out on Fang Shaohua.
Fang Manxue was covered in cold sweat.
It turned out that Bai Qinghao already knew about this.There really wasn¡¯t anything that could escape his scrutiny!
Did this mean that Bai Qinghao had been waiting to watch them embarrass themselves?
Thankfully, she had left this matter to Weng Jingke. Otherwise, she would have been doomed.
Fang Ln and Long Shuhai also shared simr thoughts.
Weng Jingke began shouting in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, since the money came from your elder brother, and you were buying an apartment for him, why would you tell Liu Ling that he is an old man?¡±
¡°Please.¡± Fang Xinxin rolled her eyes at her. ¡°This princess is neen years old this year. My brother, Fang Shaohua, is six years older than I am. How could he not be old? What¡¯s wrong with calling him an old man...¡±
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.
This was because she suddenly recalled that Bai Qinghao and Fang Shaohua were of the same age.
Did she just make a serious mistake?
¡°Very good.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s handsome features suddenly became frighteningly dark. He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes to respond to Fang Xinxin, ¡°Those who are six years older than you are considered to be ¡®old men¡¯? En?¡±
His gaze was as sharp as an X-ray. It nearly pierced her alive.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s soul trembled for a moment. She waved her hands weakly in the air. ¡°No, no, no, six years is barely anything. I mean it. Take CEO Bai for example. You¡¯re still outstandingly handsome. The whole world shivers at the sight of you.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression lightened slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t use the word ¡®handsome¡¯ for any other man. You can only use it for me!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Fang Xinxin was used to coaxing him and was no longer genuinely afraid of him.
She... simply liked him and loved him.
This princess shall be generous and epting. ¡®I¡¯ll give into him¡¯.
Bai Qinghao considered the way she easily sumbed to his demands. He also took into ount the ttery she was heaping on him and decided not to be petty with her. However, he still emphasised. ¡°We¡¯re both older than you by six years, but I¡¯m young. Fang Shaohua is an old man!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded like a little bird. ¡°Mr. CEO, everything you say is right.¡±
Bai Qinghao rubbed Fang Xinxin¡¯s head in satisfaction.
Weng Jingke watched their interaction and began to feel suspicious.
Why did this dumb wench appear to be so familiar with Bai Qinghao? She was even sitting right next to him.
Fang Manxue on the other hand, was standing far away with an overly cautious appearance.
She was about to voice out her suspicions when Liu Ling¡¯s voice could suddenly be heard through the speakerphone. ¡°I¡¯ve caught the gist of the situation. You¡¯re misunderstanding that Miss Fang Xinxin is being kept by an older man. I guarantee that Miss Fang was purchasing a house on her brother¡¯s behalf. The ownership document for the apartment has her brother¡¯s name written on it. Miss Fang told me that her brother acts quite old-fashioned at times and simply joked that he is an old man. I never expected this to cause a misunderstanding.¡±
Chapter 230: Climbed His Bed
Chapter 230: Climbed His Bed
It was not actually a misunderstanding.
In fact, Fang Xinxin had intentionally instructed Liu Ling to describe him that way.
At the time, she had known that Fang Manxue was following her toe up with ways to scheme against her. Thus, she had decided toy a trap for her.
This way, Fang Manxue would get an opportunity to put her ¡®schemes¡¯ into action.
Of course, if Fang Manxue had no intentions of harming her and left Liu Ling alone, her instructions to Liu Ling would have been futile.
Weng Jingke suddenly realised she had not covered the microphone on her phone. Hence, the other party had caught the entirety of their conversation.
Liu Ling did not hear any response to her words and became flustered. ¡°I mean it! Everything I just said is the truth. You can¡¯t wrong Miss Fang Xinxin like this. Also, Miss Fang, although it¡¯s true that I epted a thousand dors from thisdy, it was because I assumed there was no harm in sharing a smallment about your brother being an old man. If I had known it would cause so much trouble for you, I definitely would not have epted it! I am a professional property agent. I would never break my client¡¯s confidentiality!¡±
Fang Xinxin raised her voice to respond. ¡°All right, Ms. Liu. Thank you for correcting her. I¡¯ve troubled you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee, Miss Fang. Feel free to call me anytime. You can also look for me if you n to buy more apartments. I¡¯m avable to help you at all times.¡± Liu Ling wanted to continue with a long speech to advertise her services, but Weng Jingke ended the call in a fit of anger. She pointed at Fang Xinxin and was about to begin her verbal abuse.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and Liu Li, the bodyguard standing behind him, immediately stepped forward. He caught Weng Jingke¡¯s wrist and twisted it behind her back.
¡°Ah, what are you trying to do?¡± Weng Jingke shrieked in fear.
¡°ndering Fang Xinxin in front of me...¡± Bai Qinghao spoke slowly in a threatening tone. ¡°It seems like Weng Rongfa has brought his daughter up poorly. There¡¯s no need for the Weng Corporation to continue operating any further.¡±
¡°What...¡± Upon hearing this, Weng Jingke became flustered.
She raised her voice in fear., ¡°CEO Bai, I recognise my mistakes. Please don¡¯t be angry at the Weng family! Don¡¯t me my father! This was all my fault!¡±
¡°When the daughter misbehaves, the father has to take responsibility.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s faint smile was cruel. Although his gaze was dark and threatening, his tone was indifferent. ¡°Did you think your father is the only person being punished? Since you dared to scheme against my woman, you should find out for yourself what the consequences are.¡±
Weng Jingke¡¯s heart sank.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman... Wasn¡¯t he famous for having no interest in women? Fang Xinxin, the rotten trash, was actually his woman!
She immediately understood. It was no wonder Fang Manxue wanted to ruin Fang Xinxin. It turned out that her little sister had climbed into her husband¡¯s bed!
Immediately after processing this news, Weng Jingke shot a harsh re at Fang Manxue. This was all her fault!
Although she hated Fang Xinxin, without a certain someone¡¯s instigation, this would not have happened.
She wanted to expose Fang Manxue, but...
¡°Jingke, if you end up messing things up, you definitely cannot betray me. I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I¡¯m the only person who can save you. If you expose my involvement in this, I¡¯ll simrly be in trouble. No one will be able to help you then!¡±
While she hesitated, Bai Qinghao waved his hand. Liu Li immediately began dragging Weng Jingke out of the Fang home.
¡°No, CEO Bai, let me go!¡± Weng Jingke cried out loudly. ¡°I didn¡¯t do this on purpose! I didn¡¯t know that Fang Xinxin is your woman. If I had known, I would never have dared to do this!¡±
Chapter 231: Bai Qinghao’s Woman
Chapter 231: Bai Qinghao¡¯s Woman
She had truly been unaware. If she knew about this, even if Fang Xinxin was not Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and was just a woman who had climbed into his bed, she would not have dared to provoke her.
¡°ndering my woman isn¡¯t a mistake you can run away from just by iming you didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Bai Qinghao smiled indifferently.
His frigid gaze could silently murder crowds. ¡°Drag her away. If I have to listen to her voice for a second longer, you¡¯ll be punished with her. This trash has taken up too much of my time.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Liu Li immediately pressed his hand over Weng Jingke¡¯s mouth and quickly dragged her out of the vi¡¯s entrance.
Weng Jingke red in Fang Manxue¡¯s direction.
This woman had promised to beg Bai Qinghao for mercy on her behalf. Why was she still standing there and watching?
She tried her best to give Fang Manxue a look, but Fang Manxue pretended not to notice.
She suddenly understood that Fang Manxue had no intentions of helping her!
The consequences of working with such a person was being tossed aside like a used chess piece!
She wanted to expose Fang Manxue but both her hands were held behind her back. Her mouth was also covered. She could only make muffled noises.
All of a sudden, Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice appeared like a saving grace. ¡°Wait.¡±
Weng Jingke thought she would be given a chance to speak. However, her hope was instantly destroyed.
¡°Previously, at the gym, Weng Jingke owed Xinxin a debt. Make her pay for it as well.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± Liu Li responded politely.
Weng Jingke did not have the ability to protest. She was dragged into a car parked outside the vi. Soon, the car drove away.
Inside the Fang family¡¯s living room, the atmosphere was filled with tension.
Bai Qinghao ced his hand on the couch¡¯s armrest. His fingers tapped lightly against it.
The seat that he sat on and the arm rest which he was using, were covered with ayer of bright yellow cloth embroidered with dragons. It added a luxurious and graceful touch to the whole look.
But it was clear that he disdained the couch the Fang family used.
Compared to his rxed state, Fang Manxue, Long Shuhai and Fang Ln were about to go insane with anxiety.
Half a beatter, just as the three of them were about to faint due to quivering nerves, Bai Qinghao spoke up coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say?¡±
¡°C... CEO Bai.¡± Fang Ln stepped forward first. ¡°I was in the wrong. I never expected Weng Jingke to be such a person. To think she had the intention to wrong our family¡¯s Xinxin! Such a person really deserves to die!¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone rose up slightly. His distant gaze contained a sharp glint. It appeared as though nothing could be concealed from him.
Fang Ln trembled and could only stutter on. ¡°CEO Bai, thankfully you were observant and was able to return her innocence.¡±
She then gave Fang Xinxin a look of heartache. ¡°Xinxin ah, Mom believes in you! Right from the beginning, I believed in you!¡±
Fang Manxue also shoved all of the responsibility onto Weng Jingke. ¡°CEO Bai, Weng Jingke and I, along with Xinxin, are all ssmates. I never expected her to be so ck-hearted.¡±
She refused to admit that they were best friends. She was clearly fearful of being implicated. Thus, she could only im they were superfluous ssmates and even dragged Fang Xinxin¡¯s name into it. This way, Bai Qinghao would not suspect her.
¡°Stop mentioning Weng Jingke now.¡± Long Shuhai quickly chided her. ¡°CEO Bai¡¯s time is precious. Earlier, he was upset at her for how much time she wasted.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Fang Manxue responded with a guilty conscience.
Bai Qinghao reached out and wrapped his arms around Fang Xinxin, who was a seat away from him. He then brought her onto hisp.
Chapter 232: Fulfill Her Wish
Chapter 232: Fulfill Her Wish
He said in a cold and heavy voice, ¡°It¡¯s only right that I sacrificed some of my time. If I didn¡¯t attend this performance attentively, how would she have learned the consequences of targeting my fianc¨¦e?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, of course.¡± Fang Manxue clenched her mmy hands.
She was once again thankful that Weng Jingke had spoken up for her today.
However, it was also a pity. Weng Jingke had been an extremely useful tool.
Now that she had lost her, it would be difficult to find someone as easy to use.
Bai Qinghao did not miss the relief that shed past Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes.
He knew better than anyone that Weng Jingke was only a foolish scapegoat.
Fang Xinxin had given Weng Jingke an out but she refused to take it. She had magnanimously decided to shoulder the responsibility all on her own.
Since, Xinxin had said she would grant her wish, given that he was such a doting fianc¨¦e, he naturally gave into her.
As for Fang Ln and Fang Manxue, this pair of mother and daughter, he would wait to see what other trouble they could stir up!
Fang Manxue took in the sight of Fang Xinxin sitting shamelessly on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp. Her eyes seemed to be lit with mes of jealousy. Even her ears were nearly emitting smoke.
Fang Ln also could not handle the sight of this disy of affection. She put on a nk expression to mask her unhappiness. ¡°Xinxin, why are you sitting on CEO Bai¡¯sp? It won¡¯t be good if other people see this.¡±
She waved her hand beckoningly at her.
¡°Madam Fang, are you blind?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze appeared as sharp as knives. He responded heavily. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see me pulling her onto myp?¡±
¡°Y-yes...¡± Fang Ln put on a stiff, apologetic smile.
Despite her anger, she did not dare to say anything more. ¡°CEO Bai, the Fang home is much simplerpared to the Yu Ting Vi. Still, feel free to treat this ce as your home. We will soon be a family anyway.¡±
She would definitely be Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother-inw.
However, the only woman he could marry was Fang Manxue!
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± Long Shuhai also chimed in. ¡°If our hospitality iscking, please let us know without any hesitation. We will definitely try our best to meet your requests.¡±
¡°Scram.¡±
The single, concise word was delivered in an imposing tone.
None of them dared to disobey him. Everyone in the living room, including the helpers, Fang Manxue, Fang Ln and Long Shuhai, sped away in four different directions.
Some of them headed out of the vi¡¯s entrance, while others returned to their bedrooms. In any case, their figures quickly disappeared from the hall.
A bodyguard standing behind Bai Qinghao hesitated.
He was responsible for his Boss¡¯s safety.
As he took in the way his Boss was holding Fang Xinxin possessively, he felt that he needed to give them some space to interact. He said, ¡°Boss, this subordinate will back away first.¡±
The moment he stepped out of the vi entrance, another bodyguard rushed in. ¡°Boss, there¡¯s an urgent matter!¡±
He then handed over an envelope.
Bai Qinghao reached out to receive it and Fang Xinxin took the initiative to angle her head away. She did not attempt to peek at the letter.
Much of the Bai family¡¯s matters could not be revealed to the public.
His heart ached for her maturity and feelings of doting swelled up inside him.
He quickly tore the envelope open and scanned its contents. The bodyguard by the side had already prepared a ss cup around the size of a wine ss. After Bai Qinghao finished reading the letter, he tossed it into the cup. The letter immediately lit up with mes and turned into ashes within a matter of seconds.
Fang Xinxin recognised that the cup was coated with fine powder. Once the lid was opened, any matter that came into contact with it wouldbust.
There were a lot of confidential matters that were not suited to be saved and stored. Burning them was the best way of dealing with them.
Bai Qinghao turned to look at her. As a rare urrence, his voice carried some guilt. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I came to spend some time with you, but there are important matters that I have to handle.¡±
Chapter 233: Dumb As Weng Jingke?
Chapter 233: Dumb As Weng Jingke?
Fang Xinxin understood that he needed to leave right now. Although she could not bear to say goodbye, she still smiled warmly at him. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±
¡®I¡¯ll wait for you¡¯! Nothing was more moving than these words for him.
He had devoted his heart and body to her. Even if the world fell apart, the feelings he had for her would never change!
Bai Qinghao embraced her tightly in his strong arms, nearly meshing her into bing one with him. He wanted her to leave a mark on his soul!
He really did not wish to go.
However, the matter was urgent and could not be dyed.
He badly wanted to confide his feelings to her and express just how dearly he longed for her with every second and minute that passed by.
But there was no more time left.
He had a thousand words to say, but all he murmured was her name urgently. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
She shifted on hisp and looked up to meet his gaze. As she took in his handsome features, she endured the longing and smiled to urge him. ¡°Go on. Hurry.¡±
She was about to stand when he tightened his arm around her waist. He abruptly lowered his head and pressed a fierce kiss against her soft lips.
The sensation was much sweeter than he could have imagined.
His deep longing, overwhelmed her.
Just as she felt herself going out of breath, he abruptly stood up, tugging her along with him. He employed all of his willpower to release her and did not look back as he walked away. ¡°Wait for me.¡±
He stepped out of the Fang family¡¯s entrance, a tall and broad-shouldered figure walking away in a suit.
Fang Xinxin watched dazedly as he climbed into a multi-purpose, luxury vehicle and drove away. Eventually, the car was no longer visible.
He had not looked back even once to return her gaze.
She felt a little gloomy.
However, she recalled the way he had asked her to wait for him. Her confidence returned and a sweet anticipation welled up.
As the car drove out of the Fang family¡¯s vi, Bai Qinghao finally dared to turn back to look at the vi where his beloved stayed in.
It was not that he did not want to look at her, but he was afraid that he would not be able to leave if he caught another nce of her.
As he recalled her promise to wait for him, his frozen heart began to warm up with emotions once more.
Fang Manxue had run to the front yard earlier. She had been paying attention to the living room the whole time to try and guess the time when Bai Qinghao would eventually leave. She had even made preparations to seduce him.
From afar, she saw that Bai Qinghao had left with his bodyguards. Internally, she looked down on Fang Xinxin once more. The ugly trash could not hold onto her man for even a short while.
Fang Manxue walked leisurely into the living room and mocked her ruthlessly. ¡°Yo, third sister, I thought that Bai Qinghao really liked you, but he left from here in a hurry. It¡¯s clear you¡¯re not that important to him.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin sneered. ¡°Do you perhaps think that he likes you instead?¡±
¡°Third sister, listen to me.¡± Fang Manxue pretended as though her heart ached for her.
She began to nag in a caring voice. ¡°Bai Qinghao hasn¡¯t visited you even once during the past ten days. Are there any fianc¨¦s like him? He is clearly treating you like a ything. Hees to tease you when he likes, and when he is disinterested, he leaves you here all by yourself.¡±
¡°He had urgent matters to deal with.¡± Fang Xinxin picked up the tea cup that Bai Qinghao had used earlier and took a sip from it.
¡°Bai Qinghao has been so busy he hasn¡¯t been able to rest. Have you forgotten? The previous time he came to visit me, he rushed out on a helicopter. What are you trying to imply? Does Bai Qinghao seem like someone who would waste his time on a ything? Second sister, there¡¯s no point in trying to sow discord between us. Do you think I¡¯m as dumb as Weng Jingke?¡±
Chapter 234: Almost Confessed
Chapter 234: Almost Confessed
Fang Manxue began to feel apprehensive, but her expression remained calm. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
¡°How could my second sister not understand what I mean?¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t know what you are talking about!¡± Fang Manxue continued to pretend to be dumb.
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll be direct with you.¡± Fang Xinxin responded decisively.
¡°Twelve days ago, you were clearly the person who followed me. Did you think your red ferrari was in any way inconspicuous? You were also the person who bribed Liu Ling with a thousand dors. You made Weng Jingke your scapegoat and caused her to meet with misfortune. No matter what, the two of you are best friends. Don¡¯t you feel any guilt for your actions?¡±
¡°Is that what you believe?¡± Fang Manxue was dumbstruck. She red at her in suspicion but refused to admit it. ¡°Since you suspected that I was the one causing trouble, why didn¡¯t you expose me in front of Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°I thought that Weng Jingke enjoys being your scapegoat, and I naturally should grant her wishes.¡±
In her previous life, she had suffered much misfortune under Weng Jingke¡¯s hands. Destroying Weng Jingke was a matter, worthy of celebration.
As for her reason for not exposing Fang Manxue...
It was not because she was generous and soft-hearted. Fang Manxue¡¯s sins were much greater than this. If she was punished now, a lot of issues would remain hidden.
For example, Fang Manxue had spiked her food with a weight-gain drug for three years. She had also contaminated her make-up items, worsening her e...
Perhaps, she was also involved in her elder brother¡¯s case.
Before her elder brother¡¯s matter was resolved, she could not be certain if Fang Manxue waspletely useless. Furthermore, Fang Manxue deserved to receive harsher consequences than these!
After enduring one hellish life, Fang Xinxin was no longer impatient. She would take things slow. Before killing her prey, she would take the time to peel off eachyer of her skin.
Although Fang Xinxin felt this way internally, she stered a kind expression on her face. ¡°After all, you¡¯re still my second sister. Even though you instigated Weng Jingke behind my back, I believe that you were simply acting on a moment of carelessness. If Bai Qinghao learns that you are the person who caused the trouble, there¡¯s no way he would let you off. How could I possibly allow my sister to suffer such a punishment?¡±
¡°Third sister!¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Manxue was deeply moved.
She embraced Fang Xinxin and did not think twice to admit it. ¡°This was all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have told Weng...¡±
¡°Manxue, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± Fang Ln walked into the living room and raised her voice. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything. What responsibility are you shouldering?! What me are you admitting to?¡±
Fang Manxue immediately understood. She shoved Fang Xinxin away. ¡°You lied to me. You¡¯re trying to make me confess to it!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at Fang Ln with regret. Indeed, the older ones were wiser.
She was holding onto a recording pen in her pocket and was about to record Fang Manxue¡¯s words.
What was the point of knowing that Fang Manxue was the true instigator? Without proper evidence, her ims would be useless as long as the other party refused to admit it.
She had not expected Fang Ln to jump in at the crucial moment.
Forget it.
These two pieces of trash were easy to deal with.
¡°How could I possibly lie to you, second sister?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°You were the one who wanted to admit...¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t admit to anything. Don¡¯t wrong me!¡± Fang Manxue had nearly let her guard down.
She had assumed that she was dealing with her same old sister, the dumb trash who was always extremely obedient.
Right now it seemed like, ¡®dumb trash¡¯... no longer described her well?
Fang Ln said sternly, ¡°All right, let¡¯s stop bringing Weng Jingke up. She is only an outsider.¡±
Fang Xinxin understood that Fang Manxue would not be fooled again and decided to head upstairs.
¡°Xinxin, wait.¡± Fang Ln called out. ¡°Mom has something to ask you!¡±
Chapter 235: Your Mom, Not Mine
Chapter 235: Your Mom, Not Mine
Fang Xinxin paused and turned back to look at her. ¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Xinxin ah,e...e over here, sit.¡± Fang Ln reached out and tugged on her hand to bring her towards the couch. ¡°We haven¡¯t chatted as a mother and daughter in a long time.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Fang Xinxin pulled her hand back and smiled coldly. ¡°Thest time we did so was when I was eleven years old. It has nearly been eight years. All you¡¯ve done since then is tomand me to do this and that.¡±
¡°Look at you, child! What are you talking about?¡± Fang Ln red at her lovingly. ¡°You are mom¡¯s daughter. What¡¯s wrong in asking you to do a few things for me? Are there any children in this world who haven¡¯t worked for their mother¡¯s sake?¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to the side and scanned her slightly wrinkled, thickly powdered, but attractive face. ¡°But in this world, there really aren¡¯t any mothers that are so...¡±
Fang Ln did not wish to hear such words.
¡°Don¡¯t they always say that ¡®nobody is perfect¡¯? Who can be without mistakes? Mom understands that I may have been wrong in some areas in the past. Mom will apologise to you right now. Won¡¯t you take into ount that I¡¯m your mother and let the old matters go?¡±
Seeing her indifferent look, Manxue also spoke up. ¡°That¡¯s right, third sister. As the children of this family, we can¡¯t be angry at our mother, no matter what. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips coldly and remained aloof. ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that this is your mother, but not mine. There are some matters that cannot be resolved just by asking someone to ¡®let it go¡¯.¡±
The deep hurt she had suffered in her past life, the things they owed her, the things they owed her brother, Fang Shaohua, and even the things they owed her father, Long Yifan... she would take it all back!
Fang Ln understood that the soft tactic was no longer as useful as it had been on Fang Xinxin. Thus, she asked her directly. ¡°When did you visit your elder brother?¡±
¡°A few days ago.¡±
¡°On which day?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± Fang Xinxin asked her. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°What do you mean by why?¡± Fang Ln poked her forehead and put on an expression of resentment. ¡°You silly child. Why didn¡¯t you take me along to visit your elder brother? It¡¯s been too long since I visited Shaohua. I wanted to visit him as well... Earlier, I made a call and the prison guard told me that someone arranged for him to receive medical treatment externally. Did you do this?¡±
Her tone was probing.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression remained innocent. ¡°In order to receive medical treatment outside, my brother has to pay a significant sum to be bailed. Where would I find the money and ability to do this?¡±
She did not deny that it was her. Hence, this was not counted as a lie.
Fang Ln became confused. ¡°Who did this then?¡±
¡°Maybe it¡¯s his friends, or someone else?¡± She shrugged and put on a clueless expression.
Fang Ln narrowed her eyes. ¡°Be honest with me. Did you beg Bai Qinghao?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not wish to implicate Bai Qinghao in the Fang family¡¯s matters. ¡°This is unrted to him. If I had nned on asking him to help, I wouldn¡¯t have waited till now.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± As long as Bai Qinghao was not interfering, Fang Ln could set her worries away.
She put on an expression of concern. ¡°Xinxin, your brother is receiving medical treatment externally and has been released from jail. He hasn¡¯te back to the Fang home. Since you used his money to help him buy an apartment in the Hong Sheng district, he must have gone there to live, hasn¡¯t he? What is his address?¡±
¡°Brother doesn¡¯t want me to tell you. I won¡¯t say it.¡±
Fang Ln was angered. ¡°Do you think that I won¡¯t be able to find out?¡±
Investigating such matters required money. It would be best if Fang Ln went bankrupt trying.
Chapter 236: Urgent Matters
Chapter 236: Urgent Matters
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to listen to her nonsense any longer. She stood up and headed for the second floor.
Earlier, she had worked out in the gym for three hours and was covered in sweat. Her body felt very sticky and she wanted to take a shower desperately.
Fang Ln red at her backview and raged. ¡°Xinxin, you are bing more and more impudent. How dare you leave before I¡¯m done speaking? How much money did your brother give you in total? Where did you find the money to sign up for the gym membership?¡±
But Fang Xinxin turned around the corner on the second floor without a care in the world. Fang Ln¡¯s teeth nearly fell out from the way she was grinding them in anger.
¡°Mom, stop asking.¡± Fang Manxue understood the fatty¡¯s attitude. ¡°That dumb trash has no intentions of answering you anyway!¡±
¡°This is all because you are useless!¡± Fang Ln jabbed her finger against her forehead and reprimanded her. ¡°If you had seeded in seducing Bai Qinghao, would I have to suffer that wench¡¯s arrogance?¡±
Fang Manxue was simrly frustrated. ¡°Stop ming me! Aren¡¯t you simrly helpless against her? You were clearly scheming against her, yet you returned with a ¡®gift¡¯ of red wine. Does your hand still hurt from that injury?¡±
¡°It¡¯s mostly healed.¡± Fang Ln finally calmed down a little. But her expression was dark. ¡°My daughter, that fat wench used to be easy to control. Unfortunately, it isn¡¯t easy to deal with her now.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Fang Manxue sneered. ¡°Isn¡¯t that because she is taking advantage of Bai Qinghao¡¯s support? Once she leaves Bai Qinghao, she won¡¯t have anything!¡±
¡°That is why, you must snatch Bai Qinghao from her.¡± At the thought of bing Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother-inw, Fang Ln was extremely excited. She could only think of the glory and honor she would receive.
¡°Isn¡¯t it time for our mid-term examinations soon?¡± Fang Manxue smiled mockingly.
¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s grades have always been poor. She is almost always ranked thest in ss. The two of us have set up a bet. Whoever performs worse will have to kneel down in front of the winner in the presence of Bai Qinghao and address the other party as her grandmother! Think about it, Bai Qinghao is such a powerful man. How could he possibly ept a fianc¨¦e who addresses someone else as her grandmother? Bai Qinghao¡¯s face would be totally lost!¡±
¡°If the Bai family¡¯s elders learn that Fang Xinxin knelt down in front of you and addressed you as an elder, how could they possibly still ept her into the family?¡± At the thought of this, Fang Ln became pleased.
¡°Manxue, you have to perform better than her! Then, the role as the Bai family¡¯sdy will surely be yours!¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was arrogant. She waspletely unconcerned about the uing challenge. ¡°Her grades are really poor, while your daughter is a genius. I¡¯ll definitely crush her under my foot!¡±
¡°Still, you can¡¯t lower your guard.¡± Fang Ln instructed her. ¡°From tomorrow onwards, you have to go to school everyday. Take your lessons and revise diligently. Put everything else aside. It¡¯s important that you do better than Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°I got it.¡±
Fang Ln smirked and the corner of her eyes wrinkled in pleasure. ¡°When Fang Xinxin loses to you and kneels down in front of Bai Qinghao to address you as an elder, I¡¯ll definitely arrange for a reporter to take pictures of the event secretly. I¡¯ll let the entire city know about this. This way, she¡¯ll never be able to lift her head up for the rest of her life!¡±
On the second floor, Fang Xinxin was about to head downstairs to retrieve something and coincidentally heard her words.
Fang Ln intended on making it impossible for her to raise her head for the rest of her life?
Very good.
The next morning, at 7.00a.m., the Fang family¡¯s doorbell rang incessantly.
¡°Manxue, Manxue!¡± Lou Yuna called Fang Manxue¡¯s name repeatedly. ¡°Quicklye out. I have something urgent to tell you.¡±
Chapter 237: Manxue Begged Bai Qinghao For Mercy
Chapter 237: Manxue Begged Bai Qinghao For Mercy
Fang Xinxin, who had woken up two hours earlier for her morning jog, went past her. ¡°Why are you shouting so early in the morning? My second sister is still asleep.¡±
Lou Yuna red at her. ¡°How is this rted to you?¡±
Fang Xinxin rolled her eyes. ¡°Considering that we¡¯re ssmates, I was simply worried that you would destroy your throat with all the screaming. What a waste of my concern!¡±
She brought out her keys and unlocked the Fang family¡¯s vi door.
The Fang family employed enough helpers, but they did not dare to open the door for anyone without permission from the owners. This was because they feared losing the expensive, valuable items.
After following Fang Xinxin into the vi¡¯s living room, Lou Yuna was about to head to the second floor to look for Fang Manxue.
Coincidentally, Fang Manxue was making her way down the stairs at the same time. She was neatly dressed and her make-up was drawn on impably. She asked with an expression of concern. ¡°Yuna, did something happen?¡±
Lou Yuna brought her phone out and opened a video clip for her to see. ¡°Quick, look at this... I¡¯m not sure what came over Jingkest night. She actually broadcasted herself eating shit! Since morning, all my ssmates and friends have been sharing this video. Nearly the entire school has seen the recording of her eating shit on live-stream!¡±
Fang Manxue wanted to say that this was all caused by Fang Xinxin. However, she recalled that she was the one who had made use of Weng Jingke and caused this. She decided to change her intended way of responding. ¡°Maybe, Jingke was just messing around? Perhaps this is just food made to look like that...¡±
¡°No, no, no.¡± Lou Yuna shook her head. ¡°A lot of our ssmates have already taken the time to examine the video. Weng Jingke really ate shit! Also...¡±
She paused for a moment and dered urgently. ¡°More frighteningly, the Weng Corporation went bankrupt overnight!¡±
She opened up a separate news webpage on her phone. ¡°All the news outlets are discussing how the Weng Corporation went bust overnight. Thepany has already been handed over to its debtors. Weng Jingke¡¯s parents have also been arrested for business-rted crimes. The Weng Corporation was functioning well enough yesterday. How did this happen?¡±
Fang Manxue was dazed for a moment. She suddenly recalled what Bai Qinghao had said previously. ¡°It seems like Weng Rongfa has brought his daughter up poorly. There¡¯s no need for the Weng Corporation to continue operating any further. Previously, at the gym, Weng Jingke owed Xinxin a debt. Make her pay for it as well.¡±
Wasn¡¯t Jingke¡¯s act of eating shit and broadcasting it, the debt which she owed Fang Xinxin at the gym?
Although Fang Manxue had already expected Weng Jingke to meet with such consequences, now that the news was ced right before her eyes, she still found it a little hard to believe.
Bai Qinghao actually did something so ruthless for the sake of an ugly, fat wench like Fang Xinxin!
Her heart was overwhelmed with jealousy. At the same time, she also understood the power that Bai Qinghao held!
She felt her determination to obtain Bai Qinghao strengthen in this moment.
¡°No matter what, the Weng Corporation is a capable, mid-tier corporation. Who could be powerful enough to eliminate them so easily?¡± Lou Yuna was really curious to know.
¡°Aside from Bai Qinghao, who else could be this powerful?¡± Fang Manxue did not intend on concealing this from her.
¡°He...¡± Lou Yuna immediately lost all her courage. ¡°But Manxue, he is your fianc¨¦. Weng Jingke is our best friend. How could you allow him to do this?¡±
¡°The Weng family provoked the Bai family.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was troubled and helpless. ¡°No one can alter Qinghao¡¯s orders. I know that you¡¯re worried about Jingke. But who asked her family to be foolish enough to offend the Bai family?¡±
¡°But...¡±
¡°Enough with your ¡®buts¡¯.¡± Fang Manxue gestured for her to be quiet. ¡°I already begged him on her behalf. If I didn¡¯t do so, I¡¯m afraid the entire Weng family would have been burned to ashes!¡±
Chapter 238: Gain Weight For Love
Chapter 238: Gain Weight For Love
Lou Yuna thought about this and felt that Fang Manxue was right. In the city centre, many people addressed Bai Qinghao as the ¡®grim reaper¡¯. Most of the people who offended himpletely disappeared overnight. The Weng family was much luckier. At the very least, they were still alive.
Seeing that Fang Manxue was unwilling to talk about it any further, Lou Yuna did not insist on it.
The Fang family¡¯s helpers had already prepared breakfast.
¡°I¡¯m sure you haven¡¯t eaten, right? Why don¡¯t you join us?¡± Fang Manxue invited her.
Lou Yuna took in the dishes of fried dough sticks and fried chicken. Even the rice was deep fried. Her expression was confused. ¡°Why is your family eating something so greasy early in the morning?¡±
Fang Manxue faltered. She had forgotten to conceal this.
She couldn¡¯t possibly admit that these were the only things that she was allowed to eat for the next three months, could she?
¡°Oh! Qinghao said that I¡¯m too thin and wants me to eat more. I thought about it and felt that maybe by eating this sort of food would allow me to gain some weight.¡±
A hint of suspicion shed past Lou Yuna¡¯s eyes. ¡°I heard some rumours that you, your second uncle, and your mother are only allowed to eat ten different types of fried dishes during this three months period. Could it be that those rumours are true?¡±
As per the rumours, if these three people ate any other food, the people who reported them would be rewarded with seven hundred thousand dors!
Compared to their feelings as ssmates or friends, the seven hundred thousand dors amount was clearly much more attractive.
Fang Manxue naturally would not admit to it. ¡°My rtionship with Bai Qinghao has always been stable. Don¡¯t listen to the rumours that other people have been making up. Moreover, you are well aware that I¡¯ve always tried my best to stay beautiful. I don¡¯t like that sort of greasy food and I don¡¯t want my weight to go up. But Qinghao really wants me to gain some pounds. For the sake of the man I love, I decided to endure it and eat some of the food that will make me gain weight. I don¡¯t know why people are making up strange rumours about this.¡±
¡°Umm, ok.¡±
Fang Manxue saw that Lou Yuna had fallen for her words and pressed on. ¡°Yuna, I¡¯ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since young. Our feelings are much deeper than most other couples. The Bai family¡¯s door is too heavy. Not everyone can push it open. I¡¯m very lucky to be his fianc¨¦e. It¡¯s unavoidable that I will have to face a lot of people¡¯s jealousy.¡±
She pursed her lips in a self-mocking manner and allowed helplessness to surface in her eyes. ¡°Even my third sister can¡¯t help but be extremely envious of me.¡±
¡°What right does Fang Xinxin have to be jealous of you?¡± Lou Yuna was used to standing on her side. ¡°With her fat and ugly figure, she¡¯s not even suited to hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes. Don¡¯t worry about this. Your marriage with Bai Qinghao was arranged by his deceased grandmother. No one can alter it.¡±
¡°En.¡± Manxue nodded slowly as though she was suffering some sort of grievance.
Fang Xinxin came downstairs with a backpack and was about to leave the house when she strangely suffered an angered look from Lou Yuna. She immediately understood that Fang Manxue must have spoken poorly about her behind her back again.
In their previous life, because of Fang Manxue¡¯s instigation, Fang Xinxin had endured a lot of indignity in Weng Jingke and Lou Yuna¡¯s hands.
She had already gotten rid of Weng Jingke. If the Lou girl also dared to provoke her, she would definitely not let her off easily!
¡°Third sister, where are you going?¡± Fang Manxue raised her voice to ask.
¡°School.¡±
¡°Our home is more than ten kilometres away from school. How do you n on going there?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry about me,¡± Fang Xinxin responded indifferently and headed out of the house.
Fang Manxue had grown sick of this greasy food and barely ate breakfast these days.
After confirming that Lou Yuna did not wish to eat at the Fang home, she took out her Ferrari out of the Fang family¡¯s vi door.
As she drove along the road, her eyes moved left and right. Lou Yuna noticed this and asked her. ¡°Manxue what are you looking for?¡±
¡°I¡¯m looking for my third sister. It¡¯s a long way from home to school. I¡¯m worried about her. I was thinking of giving her a ride.¡±
Chapter 239: Ferrari Ride
Chapter 239: Ferrari Ride
¡°Manxue, you¡¯re really too kind. Your third sister is jealous of you and wishes to snatch the position of Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e away from you. Yet you¡¯re still so considerate of her.¡± Lou Yuna began to feel angered at the thought. ¡°Hasn¡¯t she taken a good look at herself in the mirror? With her disgustingly fat figure, how could Bai Qinghao possibly take a liking to her?¡±
¡°No matter what, she¡¯s still my sister.¡± Fang Manxue put on a helpless expression and sessfully won over Lou Yuna¡¯s sympathy.
She drove slowly down the street and searched thoroughly before she eventually noticed Fang Xinxin jogging on the sidewalk ahead.
In the past, Fang Xinxin had been fat to the point where she would be breathless whenever she walked too fast. It was as though she would suffocate to death.
She always appeared swollen, and could barely manage to walk even a short distance.
However, right now...
They were several kilometres away from the Fang home. The fat wench had run such a long distance, yet she did not seem to be stumbling. In fact, she appeared to be in good shape.
It seemed like the fat wench¡¯s recent efforts to exercise had been effective.
She had already lost fifteen kilograms.
At this rate, it wasn¡¯t impossible for her to get rid of all her excess weight.
Fang Manxue was determined to prevent Fang Xinxin from gaining a skinny figure. She steered the car near Fang Xinxin and lowered the window. She pressed the car horn repeatedly after that.
Fang Xinxin paused in her footsteps and turned to look over. ¡°Second sister, what do you need?¡±
Fang Manxue stopped the car by the sidewalk before speaking up. ¡°Look at you! You¡¯re drenched in sweat due to all this running. Quicklye in. I¡¯ll give you a ride to the school.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble you.¡± Fang Xinxin rejected her in an aloof manner and resumed her running.
Fang Manxue continued driving slowly by the sidewalk as she called out to her. ¡°It¡¯s still several kilometres away from school!¡±
Fang Xinxin did not believe that her second sister had a change of heart and was sincerely offering her a ride.
She vaguely recalled the time when she had found her second sister¡¯s red ferrari to be especially cool and had hoped for a ride. At the time, her second sister had responded to her with her typical rude barbs. ¡°Xinxin ah, look at how fat you are. The e on your face is also really ugly... I am not afraid of losing face, but if a hero is meant to be paired with a heroine, then, a luxury car is meant to be paired with a beautiful woman. Your appearance alone is sufficient to draw people¡¯s attention. If you take such a fanciful car, won¡¯t peopleugh at you even more? Here¡¯s a dor for you to reach the school.¡±
Fang Manxue had handed her a dor note out of the ¡®goodness¡¯ of her heart.
At the time, she had stammered. ¡°Second sister, a dor isn¡¯t enough to call for a cab.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point of calling for a cab? Just take the public bus.¡±
¡°But... a dor isn¡¯t enough for a return trip even on the bus.¡±
¡°If it isn¡¯t enough, walk.¡± Fang Manxue had kept the dor note back. ¡°I think you had better not go to school. Even if you go, you¡¯ll only be treated like a zoo animal. It¡¯s fine if you throw your own face away. But if you throw the Fang family¡¯s face away, as your second sister, even the beautiful me will beughed at.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, second sister...¡±
At the time, her inferiorityplex had been at its peak.
In order not to implicate her beautiful sister, Fang Xinxin barely attended school.
Fang Xinxin returned to the present and turned to look at her. ¡°Second sister, if I work out for two hours in the morning and run ten kilometres after, I¡¯ll be able to lose a few hundred grams a day. There¡¯s really no need to trouble you to give me a ride.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Manxue felt as though there was a needle in her throat. ¡°You can take your time in losing weight. There¡¯s no need to rush. I¡¯ll worry if you jog for such a long distance.¡±
Chapter 240: Better Car
Chapter 240: Better Car
Lou Yuna said disdainfully, ¡°Fang Xinxin, your second sister is driving a Ferrari. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to ride in a car this good for the rest of your life.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Is that so? I take Bai Qinghao¡¯s car pretty often. Could it be that his car isn¡¯t as good as my second sister¡¯s?¡±
¡°Tsk! Quit talking big.¡± Lou Yuna did not take her words seriously. Bai Qinghao owned a lot of cars and all of them were much more extravagant than Fang Manxue¡¯s. She did not believe Fang Xinxin would have ever ridden in his car.
¡°All right, why are you bringing Bai Qinghao up all of a sudden? If you don¡¯t wish to take my car, forget it.¡± Fang Manxue was deeply afraid that she would be exposed as a fake fianc¨¦e any second. She quickly stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.
Did Fang Xinxin think she really wanted to give her a ride? She simply wanted to make her walk less to slow down her weight loss.
Since Fang Manxue drove slowly while Fang Xinxin jogged rather quickly, they both arrived at the school at the same time.
Jing Hua University was the best university in the entire country. It was located in the suburbs of the city and had a long, glorious history. All the students who were eligible to study here were outstanding individuals.
The school was built on a mountain slope and was surrounded by all sorts of greenery. In the middle of the school field, there was arge patch of grass. During breaks, most of the students enjoyed sitting on the grass to read. They would feel very rxed just byying back and staring up at the sky.
The school buildings were surrounded by side walks and patches of greenery. Students stepped in and out of the area throughout the day and it further highlighted the rich school culture here.
Fang Manxue parked her car in the school parking lot and got out of the car along with Lou Yuna.
A bright red Ferrari was extremely eye-catching. Given that two beautiful youngdies were alighting from it, it was natural that they caught a lot of attention.
Fang Manxue¡¯s appearance superseded that of Lou Yuna¡¯s. As she alighted, all the students passing by immediately guessed that Fang Manxue was from a wealthy family.
¡°Wah, quickly look! It¡¯s Fang Manxue, the famous beauty of our school!¡± A student pointed at Fang Manxue with a shining gaze. ¡°If I could get a date with her, life would be so much cooler!¡±
¡°You want to get a date with her? You better wait for your next lifetime. Haven¡¯t you heard? She is the great Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e!¡± The student next to him mocked him for being so ill-informed. ¡°Still, looking at Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e is a tonic for our eyes.¡±
The passing students, no matter whether they were boys or girls, all watched Fang Manxue with admiring eyes. The girls were really envious of her for having a handsome and outstanding husband like Bai Qinghao.
Fang Manxue had grown used to enjoying this glory.
Fang Xinxin passed by them with her backpack. It was not that she could not hear their discussions, but that she had already be ustomed to hearing it.
In the past, she used to deeply admire Fang Manxue. She had felt that only a beautiful and generous woman like her second sister was suitable to stand next to Bai Qinghao.
At the time, her inferiorityplex had been at its lowest. She frequently wondered about the reason for her being ugly and fat while her sister was like a fairy despite having the same father and mother.
It turned out that her weight and appearance was harmed by her second sister secretly.
Fang Manxue had spiked her food with drugs that would cause her to gain weight. She had also messed with her skincare products.
It had been quite some time since her second sister did this.
Fang Xinxin had already lost fifteen kilograms, but her skin had suffered from e for too long and was taking a long time to recover.
A male student stood before Fang Xinxin to block her path. ¡°Aiyo, Fang Xinxin. What did you run for? Look at your sweaty appearance. It looks as though you were dragged out from a pool. Don¡¯t tell me you ran here all the way from home?¡±
Chapter 241: Drool Or Sweat
Chapter 241: Drool Or Sweat
Fang Xinxin nearly walked into him. Thankfully, she stopped fast enough and managed to keep a distance of one footstep between them. She calmly looked at the person who had abruptlye up to block her way ¨C Jiang Xingnan!
He was the school principal¡¯s son. Although he appeared to be normal, he was actually a rich yboy.
The entire school knew that he hated three types of women the most.
Fat, ugly and stupid women.
From everyone¡¯s point of view, she was all of the above.
People often joked about her and Jiang Xingnan. They would discuss how it had been difficult for her to hit all the three ¡®good attributes¡¯ that he hated. This had to be fate! They would ask him to gather some good karma and to do a good deed by marrying Fang Xinxin.
Jiang Xingnan was an arrogant guy. All the women around him were popr and beautiful. He even boasted that he wouldn¡¯t marry just a smart and beautiful woman. She needed to have a voluptuous figure as well.
Bringing Fang Xinxin¡¯s name up with him in the same sentence had deeply harmed his pride and caused him to suffer the greatest insult.
Thus, whenever Jiang Xingnan met her, he would feel extremely hateful. He would harshly insult her everytime in order to feel better.
Fang Xinxin had no intentions of paying him any attention. She turned to her left and prepared to walk around him.
To her surprise, Jiang Xingnan followed her suit. ¡°You actually dared to ignore this young master!¡±
He was not only the principal¡¯s son. His mother was also the director of the Jiang Group. His position as a rich son was extremely stable and secure.
Furthermore, the couple only managed to have a son when they were rtively older. Thus, they deeply doted on him and caused his personality to be this unrestrained.
¡°Isn¡¯t this the most ugly and fat woman in our school, Fang Xinxin?¡± Several students began to pay attention to theirmotion and gathered around them. Someone spoke up in surprise. ¡°Fang Xinxin rarelyes to school. Why is she here today?¡±
¡°Aiya, I always knew that the Fang family had created two miracles. The elder sister, Fang Manxue, is beautiful and generous. She has been a star student ever since she was young. Her younger sister on the other hand, is ugly to the point of provoking public anger. She is extremely bad at studying. To think that I would get to see them both at the same time. What a rare asion!¡±
Fang Xinxin had expected this attention.
If this was in the past, she would have felt badly self-conscious. However, perhaps it was because she had suffered from too much pain in her previous life, when she listened to thesements right now...
She only felt that, when her face eventually recovered and she lost weight to regain her outstanding appearance, she would make it impossible for these bastards to look away from her!
Jiang Xingnan regarded Fang Xinxin like the gue. He took a step back with a look of disdain. ¡°Fang Xinxin, why are you standing so close to me? Are you trying to take advantage of me?¡±
His exaggerated action caused everyone around them to burst intoughter.
Fang Xinxin was angered. ¡°Looking at you, who wants to take advantage of you?¡±
¡°Yo, yo, why don¡¯t you widen your eyes to take a proper look. This young master is extremely handsome. My skin is also soft and tender. Don¡¯t make carelessments. Are you trying to cling onto me with that sort of strategy?¡± Jiang Xingnan harrumphed coldly. ¡°Let me warn you, you¡¯re not allowed to have thoughts about me!¡±
¡°Delusional.¡± Fang Xinxin rolled her eyes. ¡°Who would want to cling onto you?¡±
¡°I bet you¡¯re drooling because you¡¯re interested in me!¡± He pointed at the glistening sweat by the corner of Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips. ¡°Look, you¡¯re really salivating after this young master!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± All of the students present burst intoughter.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression darkened. She could not even be bothered to exin. Still, she spoke up. ¡°Are you blind? It¡¯s my sweat!¡±
¡°It really seems like it¡¯s just sweat...¡± Someone suddenly noticed andmented. ¡°Fang Xinxin is sweating so much. Earlier, I saw her running to school while Fang Manxue drove her Ferrari. Isn¡¯t the Fang family being too unfair?¡±
Lou Yuna felt extremely upset at the injustice. ¡°Dear students, you guys arepletely clueless. Earlier, Manxue kindly offered to give Fang Xinxin a ride. She was so worried that she even drove slowly to follow her. Fang Xinxin was the one who was unwilling to take her car.¡±
Chapter 242: Manxue Sows Discord
Chapter 242: Manxue Sows Discord
¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you do that, you fat bitch? Since you were the one who decided not to take your sister¡¯s car, you don¡¯t have the right to me anyone.¡± Jiang Xingnan nced at her and pretended to spit on the floor. ¡°Your house is around ten kilometres away from school, isn¡¯t it? Look at you, you actually covered the distance by foot. Fuck, you even saved up on this small amount of bus money. Exactly how poor are you? In the entire school, if you admit to being the most poor, no one will dare admit that they are the second most poor.¡±
Before Fang Xinxin could speak up, Fang Manxue responded. ¡°Third sister, no matter how thrifty you are, there¡¯s no way you are saving the small change you need for public transport. Those who don¡¯t know might think that the Fang family is torturing you. But actually, you¡¯re running for the sake of losing weight. Everyone, if you take a closer look, you¡¯ll realise that my sister is much thinner than before.¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Jiang Xingnan took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s fat figure. ¡°Fattie Fang, you fat pig. No matter how much weight you lose, I bet you still weigh more than eighty kilograms. With so much weight, you¡¯re basically the sum of two normal people. No matter what you do, how much weight could you possibly lose?¡±
Another male student named Yu Liang, who usually followed Jiang Xingnan around, chipped in. ¡°Besides, you¡¯re not Fang Manxue. Even if you lose weight, with that face of yours, you¡¯ll still frighten everyone to death!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± All of the students standing around them burst intoughter again. Their gaze was filled with mocking as they stared at Fang Xinxin.
Fang Manxue gazed at Fang Xinxin from the corner of her eyes. She was waiting for Fang Xinxin to act like the way she used to in the past. She used to run away and look for a hidden corner to cry.
Fang Manxue would then pretend to go andfort her.
Everytime, the dumb wench ended up being grateful to her and lost the courage toe to school again.
To her surprise, Fang Xinxin appeared unfazed at the moment. She looked at everyone with a cold and sharp gaze. ¡°You¡¯re all students from Jing Hua University, the top university in the country. Our school is famous for its rich culture, elegance and the character that this ce holds. What about you guys?¡±
She pointed at herself. ¡°The way that I appear right now... is not something that I chose. Let¡¯s not talk about character. Let¡¯s just talk about basic human values. You¡¯re all students from the most famous university in the country. But you stand here to mock someone for their appearance, and you find pleasure in looking down on someone for their figure. Where are your basic human values?¡±
The group of young men and women who were busyughing finally felt an ounce of shame. Everyone fell silent.
Fang Manxue became frustrated with Fang Xinxin¡¯s smart mouth but thankfully Jiang Xingnan spoke up. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t spout nonsense. Those words are meant for normal people. Yes, you¡¯re ugly. You¡¯re not liable for being ugly. But you¡¯re at fault foring here and giving us a fright! Fuck, you could star in a horror film with that face. This young master nearly had a heart attack. If you frightened me to death, do you have the ability topensate me?¡±
Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go ahead and die? This way, you¡¯ll know if I¡¯ll be able to afford it. Jiang Smelly Mouth, one day, your father will blind your dog eyes!¡±
She could not be bothered to waste her breath on him any further. She stepped around him and headed into one of the nearby school buildings.
Jiang Xingnan cursed angrily. ¡°Fattie Fang, what did you just call me? Did you just call yourself my father? Come back here and speak clearly!¡±
¡°Brother Nan, she said that your mouth stinks...¡± Yu Liang spoke quietly by his side.
¡°Don¡¯t be a busybody!¡± Jiang Xingnan gritted his teeth in anger. ¡°That damn fat bitch. She even dared to offend me. I¡¯ll let her know what it¡¯s like to die!¡±
Although Fang Manxue put on a helpless expression, she was extremely pleased by this turn of events. This way, she could watch Fang Xinxin suffer without having to do anything herself.
Chapter 243: There Is An Old Demon In Class Three
Chapter 243: There Is An Old Demon In ss Three
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s frustrated gaze shifted on to her. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I will let this go just because you are Fang Xinxin¡¯s second sister!¡±
Fang Manxue sighed with a helpless expression. ¡°Young Master Jiang, you¡¯re the head of the entire school. I¡¯ve always respected you, but you don¡¯t have to do anything on my ount. You might not know this, but I¡¯ve told my third sister countless times not to provoke you and to stay away from your sight. But she refuses to listen to me. She even told me that you¡¯re just a small hooligan. Even though your grades are in the top three of the entire school, she insists that you didn¡¯t achieve them with your own ability. As per her, the teachers are intentionally giving you a free pass because your father is the principal. She even said that your heart is evil and that your mouth stinks...¡±
¡°Fuck, she dared to say such things about me!¡± Jiang Xingna¡¯s rage was ignited. ¡°My grades are good because I was born talented. A free pass my ass! Fang Xinxin, that ugly, fat bitch! I¡¯m going to let her know what it¡¯s like to die!¡±
He stormed off in a fit of anger.
Yu Liang rushed to follow her. ¡°Brother Nan, I¡¯ll help you!¡±
Fang Manxue took in their angered backviews and her lips curved into a vicious smile.
After tossing aside Weng Jingke, that small knife, she had found arger one to use.
Lou Yuna took in her strange smile and asked her in confusion. ¡°Manxue, did your third sister really say all this?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Manxue replied firmly. ¡°She didn¡¯t just say it once but many times. I¡¯m sure she hates Jiang Xingnan for always looking down on her. That¡¯s why she often speaks poorly about him behind his back.¡±
She then frowned unhappily. ¡°What is it? Yuna, you don¡¯t believe in me? You should know me well. Ever since I was young, I¡¯ve never been someone who lies.¡±
¡°I believe you, I believe you.¡±
Lou Yuna held her elbow sweetly. ¡°I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have asked you this.¡±
¡°All right. It¡¯s almost time for ss. Let¡¯s head to the ssroom.¡±
...
Several minutes ago, Fang Xinxin stepped into the ssroom. There were a few empty seats. Those belonged to the students who were either skipping ss or werete. The rest of the seats were mostly filled.
The moment she entered the ssroom, almost all the students turned to look at her.
¡°Wow... why is Fang Xinxin here? Hasn¡¯t she been absent for the entire semester?¡±
¡°She¡¯s still so ugly. The sight of those bumps on her face are sufficient to make me vomit out my dinner fromst night...¡±
¡°Aiyo, look at her figure... Fuck, she¡¯s really throwing away our ss Three¡¯s face!¡±
The students whispered rampantly amongst themselves. Their gazes were filled with disdain as they stared at Fang Xinxin.
In the past, Fang Xinxin could never understand their behavior. She was only a little fat and not great to look at. She had kept a low profile, yet her entire ss seemed to hate her. In fact, the entire school seemed to take pleasure in making fun of her.
In her previous life, back when she had still been attending school, she witnessed her second sister talking poorly about her behind her back.
At the time, she had been deeply hurt and had asked Fang Manxue for the reason.
But Fang Manxue had imed that someone else had sowed discord between them.
What discord could there be? It was most likely that her second sister was causing trouble for her behind her back.
As for the strange looks and whispers among her ssmates, Fang Xinxin was toozy to waste her time on them. She ignored their chattering and headed for her seat. However, she had only taken a few steps when one of her ssmates, Liu Dan, stood up and began to sing loudly in her direction. ¡°ss One is good, ss Two is bad, ss Three has an old demon!¡±
He pointed at Fang Xinxin as he sang. Even idiots would realise he was addressing Fang Xinxin as the ¡®old demon¡¯.
Chapter 244: Beat Her Up
Chapter 244: Beat Her Up
¡°Hahaha!¡± The entire ss burst outughing.
Right after that, Jiang Xingnan, Yu Liang, Fang Manxue and Lou Yuna entered the ssroom with identical, mocking looks. They headed to their respective seats and got ready to watch a ¡®good show¡¯.
Everyone was waiting for Fang Xinxin to run away due to shame.
A neen year old girl was being insulted by a male student to this extent. Who would have the face to stay?
Fang Xinxinfortably approached Liu Dan and narrowed her eyes to size him up. ¡°Impotent Liu, who did you just call an old demon?¡±
Listening to her provocative statement, the entire ssroom fell into a pin-drop silence.
¡°I¡¯m calling whoever responded to me!¡± Liu Dan had just answered when he realised what she addressed him as.
¡°Fattie Fang, who did you just say is ¡®impotent¡¯?¡±
¡°You ah,¡± She kindly responded.
Jiang Xingnan whistled like a hooligan and stood up from his seat. ¡°Liu Dan, no matter what, you¡¯re one of the good looking boys in this ss. When did you have a rtionship with Fang Xinxin? How does she know that you¡¯re impotent?¡±
Fang Xinxin had yet to speak up when Liu Dan became enraged. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense! With Fattie Fang¡¯s disgusting, ugly appearance, how could this handsome boy possibly be attracted to her? Don¡¯t even talk about a rtionship. Just the sight of her makes me want to vomit. Even if I have to stay single for the rest of my life, there will never be anything between the two of us!¡±
The person he secretly crushed on was the goddess, Fang Manxue. She was sitting right there. He could not allow her to have any misunderstandings about himself and the ugly, fat woman.
His choice of powerful wordsbined with his disgusted expression immediately rified to the world that there was nothing going on between them.
Fang Xinxin pointed at Liu Dan. ¡°Although his words were unpleasant to hear, at the very least, my innocence is returned.¡±
She then nced at Jiang Xingnan coldly. ¡°Jiang Smelly Mouth, your mouth really stinks. Has it been a year since youst brushed your teeth?¡±
¡°Wow...¡± Several students gasped. ¡°She actually has the guts to give Boss such an ugly nickname. His face ispletely lost...¡±
Jiang Xingnan red at her hatefully as though he wanted to skin her alive. ¡°You! You stinky, fat bitch! Do you want me to beat you up?¡±
Fang Xinxin was not intimated as she refuted. ¡°Not only are youcking in discipline, you¡¯re also looking for a beating from me, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Jiang Xingnan was a useless, second generation wealthy young master. She could beat him up with one hand alone.
Besides, she had her own powers to rely on.
If he really provoked her, she could end his small life without anyone even realising it.
¡°Your mouth sure is sharp!¡± Jiang Xingnan charged forward, shoving aside several desks in his way. He cracked his knuckles loudly. ¡°I¡¯m going to punch you to death!¡±
The entire school knew that Jiang Xingnan never lost when it came to fights. He was especially ruthless. Many of his opponents ended up crying for their parents or kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy.
Yet, all of those conflicts outside of school were settled by his mother, Director Jiang, through money.
As for the ones that happened in school, the victims were the ones who ended up shouldering the me. Who asked him to be the principal¡¯s son?
Over time, people gradually lost the guts to provoke Jiang Xingnan, the little devil.
This was also how his title as the ¡®School¡¯s Boss¡¯ came to be.
The entire ss was waiting for him to beat Fattie Fang until she became even more swollen than she already was.
Fang Manxue, especially, was taking pleasure in her misfortune. She felt that it would be best if Jiang Xingnan identally beat Fang Xinxin to death.
¡°Fattie Fang is too disrespectful.¡± Liu Dan added oil to the fire standing on the side. ¡°Boss, beat her to death!¡±
With Liu Dan causing amotion, a group of students lifted their right arms and began chanting as they pumped their fists up and down. ¡°Beat her up, beat her up, beat her up!¡±
Chapter 245: French Teacher
Chapter 245: French Teacher
The group was extremely agitated. It seemed like Jiang Xingnan had no choice but to go ahead and hit her.
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. She was waiting for him to make the first move. Then, she would show him what beating someone meant.
mes of fire were emitting from Jiang Xingnan¡¯s eyes. He gritted his teeth harshly and just when all the students assumed that he was going to do something, he harrumphed loudly. ¡°Hmph, this young master will let you off today!¡±
Fang Xinxin smirked coldly in response. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to let me off.¡±
¡°You!¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze was enraged. ¡°You¡¯re intentionally looking for death, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Boss, why aren¡¯t you doing anything?¡± Liu Dan encouraged him. ¡°The fat woman says she doesn¡¯t need you to let her off.¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Xingnan red at him sharply. ¡°Don¡¯t cause trouble. This old man only fights with men. What¡¯s the point of beating a woman up?¡±
He then turned back to look at Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugly face. ¡°Count yourself lucky. This young master never ever beats women up!¡±
Saying so, he returned to his own seat. However, this time, he walked normally and did not appear as cool as he did when he had charged over earlier.
Fang Xinxin sneered. If they had really fought, she would have beaten him up to the point where his own mother would have had trouble recognising him. Who exactly was the lucky one here?
A student named Wu Jiatong shot Jiang Xingnan an admiring look. ¡°Wow! Brother Nan is so cool! Did you see that? Whoever marries Brother Nan in the future won¡¯t have to worry about being physically abused in the future. This adds a 100 points to his charm!¡±
Wu Jiatong was a high-ranked figure in their ss. Several students were her followers and almost everyone knew that she had a crush on Jiang Xingnan.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted onto Liu Dan. ¡°Jiang Xingnan is a coward. Will you make a move instead? If you would like, this big sister will give you a pig¡¯s head.¡±
What she meant was that she would beat Liu Dan up into bing a pig¡¯s head.
¡°You!¡± Jiang Xingnan heard Fang Xinxin calling him a coward. His expression charged and he immediately warned her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you better wait for me!¡±
Fang Xinxin scoffed. She could not be bothered to even look at him.
Liu Dan wanted to continue provoking her. However, he was not that courageous.
He thought about it. Even Jiang Xingnan did not dare to beat Fang Xinxin up. He considered his own family background, status and grades... None of which couldpete against Jiang Xingnan. It truly wasn¡¯t logical for him to go fight her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, consider yourself lucky. I also don¡¯t beat women up.¡±
He then snuck back to his seat.
¡°If you don¡¯t have the guts, don¡¯t waste your breath next time!¡± Fang Xinxin threw these words at him and turned to head to her own seat.
All the students were disappointed by the way the drama ended. At this moment, their French teacher, Dong Yuzhu stepped into the ssroom. The entire ss immediately fell into silence.
This was because Dong Yuzhu was an especially strict student. She was not one to give anyone a face.
No matter which student caused trouble, she would firmly discipline them. Not only so, she would also call their parents and reprimand them.
This was the move that terrified the students the most.
Most frighteningly, she discussed the students¡¯ performance with their parents every so often and scared them into thinking that their child may not end up graduating.
As a result, almost all the students turned into obedient rabbits in front of her.
Everyone had given her the nickname of Madam Kill-All behind her back.
Fang Manxue was extremely frustrated that Fang Xinxin had escaped another disaster.
However, since the male students would not do anything against Fang Xinxin, it wasn¡¯t right for her to bully Fang Xinxin considering she was her sister. She could only bear the displeasure in her heart.
Fang Xinxin walked through the ss. A momentter, she was dumbstruck.
The first two columns of tables in the ssroom were arranged side-by-side.
But her seat, which used to be at the very end of the first column... that table had disappeared!
Chapter 246: Disgraced The Entire Class
Chapter 246: Disgraced The Entire ss
She searched the room and finally found that her desk had been shifted to the left-most corner of the ssroom.
Furthermore, most of the earlier empty seats were now taken up. It turned out that every student was going to attend Dong Yuzhu¡¯s ss!
Dong Yuzhu stood by the whiteboard and raised her voice sternly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it¡¯s time for ss. Why are you standing there?¡±
All the students turned to look at her from their seats.
Fang stood alone in between the rows of tables. She was especially outstanding.
She turned around and saw that Dong Yuzhu¡¯s middle-aged, thickly powdered face had an especially hateful expression on.
She had always kept a low-profile and was only taking some time to find her seat. That couldn¡¯t be sufficient for Teacher Dong to hate her this much, could it be?
Seeing that this was her teacher, she still decided to respond respectfully. ¡°I will return to my seat now.¡±
She approached the front of the ss and walked past the lecture¡¯s stand to walk down the left-most column. She then came to a stop in front of her own desk.
She wasn¡¯t sure who had drawn a face with chalk. The face was covered with pockmarks and the person who had drawn it was clearly mocking the e on her face.
There weren¡¯t any pockmarks on her face, alright? There was just a lot of e, which made it difficult for people to see her actual features.
Forget it, she did not wish to cause trouble.
She brought out a tissue and wiped the desk clean.
She wanted to seat down but discovered that her chair was covered in a thinyer of glue.
If she had not been careful, the moment she sat down, she would be stuck to the seat forever!
She ced her bag down and brought out the newspaper that she had been reading in the morning. She ced it on the chair and sat down.
Liu Dan watched her with some regret. This was truly a waste of his bottle of extra-strong glue.
He originally thought that he would be able to watch Fattie Fang be stuck to her seat. Even if she tore her clothes, she would have trouble getting out of her seat.
Coincidentally, Fang Xinxin caught the look he shot over.
She silently mouthed. ¡°Idiot.¡±
Liu Dan waspletely seen through. He turned around without any face left.
Jiang Xingnan had been paying attention to the fat woman and naturally noticed the situation. He also found Liu Dan to be very childish.
This sort of elementary school student¡¯s prank, how was it suitable in a university setting?
He needed to personally make a move in order for Fattie Fang to cry for her parents.
¡°Before we start the ss, I need to say something!¡± Dong Mingzhu spoke sternly, ¡°The university ssroom is a ce where everyone gathers to learn. It is not a hotel or a guesthouse. It¡¯s not a ce where you cane if you have the mood, and be absent when you¡¯re not in the mood!¡±
As she spoke, she red directly at Fang Xinxin. The entire ss naturally knew she was talking about her.
Fang Xinxin recognised that she was in the wrong. Thus, she did not speak up.
Dong Yuzhu then continued. ¡°Alright. It¡¯s time for ss. This semester, we are focusing on intermediate French. We¡¯ll be usingmunications theory to guide our study on French...¡±
One ss was forty-five minutes long. As Teacher Dong was strict, all the students listened attentively.
The moment the bell rang, perhaps because it was a rare asion where Fang Xinxin attended ss, but everyone remained in their seats instead of filing out like they usually did.
¡°Fang Xinxin,e to my office!¡± Dong Yuzhu called her name.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin stood up and followed behind her.
There were several other lecturers and professors in the ssroom.
Dong Yuzhu sat at her desk and nced at her. She did not conceal the disgust in her gaze. ¡°You better take the initiative to drop out of school.¡±
Her gaze left Fang Xinxin ufortable. She asked her in confusion. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°You still have the face to ask? Your grades are trash. You failed four subjects in thest term. You¡¯ve basically disgraced the entire ss Three!¡±
Chapter 247: Dirty Price
Chapter 247: Dirty Price
Fang Xinxin held some regret about her previous attitude towards her study. ¡°I can still retake those sses, can¡¯t I? It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get into the best university in the country. Unless there¡¯s absolutely no choice, I won¡¯t want to drop out. I seek your understanding on this, Teacher Dong.¡±
Several other teachers in the office also spoke up. ¡°Teacher Dong, these matters can be slowly discussed. It isn¡¯t a good idea to rmend a student to drop out so easily.¡±
Outside the office door, a crowd of students stood by the ajar door and windows.
Clearly, everyone was very curious about Fang Xinxin¡¯s matters.
After all, she was always the topic of some of the best gossip matters in school. Everyone wanted to be the first to hear this.
Dong Yuzhu noticed her colleagues¡¯ disapproval and immediately became enraged. ¡°All of you, don¡¯t look as though I¡¯m bullying my student. Perhaps the other students had fought to be here with their own hardwork and effort. However, with Fang Xinxin¡¯s grades, she was never eligible to be in Jing Hua University. Her high school grades were a disaster. She paid a dirty price in order to be standing here right now!¡±
¡°Wa...¡± The students in the crowded hallway were astonished.
Even the teachers in the office were confused.
Jiang Xingnan was simrly ¡®paying attention¡¯ outside the office door. Yu Liang asked him in confusion. ¡°Brother Nan, what dirty price did Fang Xinxin pay? Could it be, with your father...¡±
¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡± Jiang Xingnan red at him. ¡°Jing Hua University isn¡¯t a ce you can get in with money alone. Even if some woman did sleep with my father, it doesn¡¯t mean she will be able to study here. Do you think that our university¡¯s reputation as the best university in the country was formed based on lies?¡±
¡°Then...¡± Yu Liang wanted to continue asking.
Jiang Xingnan shrugged and said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me. If Fang Xinxin¡¯s grades did not make her eligible for Jing Hua University, I have no idea how she made it in. I¡¯ve always found that Fattie to be an eyesore. If I had known the reason, I would already have let it out of the bag. Would I have waited till now?¡±
Everyone acknowledged that Jiang Xingnan¡¯s words seemed to be true.
If Fang Xinxin had performed poorly, how did shee to be in Jing Hua University? Everyone¡¯s curiosity was roused.
Fang Xinxin sighed internally.
This situation was identical to that of her previous life.
Dong Yuzhu was simrly urging her to drop out whilst all her ssmates watched themotion outside.
Dong Yuzhu, this old woman, had married an old, primary school teacher. Soon after, she disdained him for hisck of ability and divorced him.
Her character was poor and her moral values werecking. Her teaching skills also left much to be desired. Although she was already in her forties, she remained a lecturer. Forget being a professor, she wouldn¡¯t even make it to the post of an assistant professor.
She had secretly gotten close with many different rich men in hopes of bing a richdy, but was always abandoned in the end.
With the passing of time, her heart became twisted. She despised all ugly matters for how they reminded her of herself.
If things panned out as they did in her past life, Fang Xinxin would follow Teacher Dong¡¯s suggestion and leave the office crying. Soon after, rumours of her being a kept woman would spread across the entire school.
Everyone would then assume that she was a cheap wench being raised by an old man.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent and she responded calmly. ¡°In that case, Teacher Dong, please specify the so-called dirty price that I paid.¡±
Teacher Dong stared at her in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re truly shameless. In that case, don¡¯t me me for not saving you any face!¡±
¡°Get straight to the point.¡±
¡°What¡¯s with your attitude?¡± Dong Yuzhu was enraged. ¡°Is this the attitude you should have when you speak to a teacher? How were you brought up?¡±
¡°You carelessly ndered me and imed that I paid a ¡®dirty¡¯ price for getting admission here. The harm you¡¯ve done to my reputation is irreparable. Looking at your conduct, do you think you are qualified to question me on upbringing?¡±
Chapter 248: Sullying Our Reputation
Chapter 248: Sullying Our Reputation
¡°Everyone has seen and heard her speak.¡± Dong Yuzhu responded furiously.
¡°I originally nned on quietly urging Fang Xinxin to drop out. She was the one who was shameless and insisted on rifying the situation. In that case, I will speak honestly. I received news that for the sake of getting Fang Xinxin into Jing Hua University, an unknown man paid over a hundred million dors. That man is both powerful and influential, but has no blood rtions with Fang Xinxin. Everyone, a hundred million dors is not a small sum. If there wasn¡¯t anything that couldn¡¯t be said, why would she intentionally conceal this matter?¡±
¡°Wow...¡± All the students standing with their necks stretched in the hallway were astonished. Their gaze turnedplicated towards Fang Xinxin.
¡°I never expected Fang Xinxin to be someone like this. She must be kept by some man...¡± One of the studentsmented.
Someone immediately responded. ¡°She¡¯s so ugly and so fat. Why would someone pay over a hundred million dors... Is that man blind?¡±
¡°I bet that man is a pervert and prefers this sort of fat and ugly girl...¡±
Fang Manxue was simrly watching themotion. She smirked in pleasure. The progression of events were absolutely in line with her goals.
This time, Fang Xinxin¡¯s reputation was truly utterly tarnished!
Fang Xinxin was unaffected by the students¡¯ discussions. ¡°Teacher Dong, where did that informatione from?¡±
Fang Xinxin knew without a doubt that this trouble was stirred by Fang Ln.
The other reason she had listened to Dong Yuzhu¡¯s rmendation in herst life was because she had been half-threatened and half-forced by Fang Ln.
This was because she did not actually score well enough to enter Jing Hua University, but somehow came to study here.
But it had always been a secret.
Initially, no one knew about it. Fang Ln had repeatedly prodded her about it and out of her foolish filial piety, she had confided everything in Fang Ln.
She never expected Fang Ln to turn around and threaten her with the matter.
Fang Ln had imed that if she was disobedient, she would spread news about the shady ways she had entered the university. By then, all the students would surely misunderstand her and she would never be able to show her face in Jing Hua University again.
Although in the past, she never wanted to fight with her mother, there were still asions where she held a different opinion. It was this threat that kept her obedient.
Last night, Fang Ln had simrly sought her out for a discussion. She had imed that she was seriously angered by her recent behaviour.
Fang Ln had threatened that if she did not obediently ask Bai Qinghao to return the money that he took away from the Fang family, she would have no one but herself to me for the consequences.
But Fang Xinxin had refused to give in.
It turned out that Fang Ln¡¯s so-called ¡®consequence¡¯ was to spread this matter through Dong Yuzhu¡¯s lips.
She was trying to make her lose her status as a student here!
¡°Since someone shared the news with me, I naturally won¡¯t betray them.¡± Dong Yuzhu made herself sound especially righteous when she responded.
Fang Xinxin tested her with her words. ¡°My mom must have given you the information. Taking her money and ndering me, is that appropriate?¡±
Both the teachers and students were once more taken aback.
¡°Teacher Dong was bribed? It can¡¯t be?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe she¡¯s someone like that...¡±
Dong Yuzhu immediately raged and ranted. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t spout nonsense! I didn¡¯t take any money from your mother! Yes, Fang Ln was the one who told me about this matter.¡±
She then brought out her phone and tapped on it, opening her text conversation with Fang Ln.
She first showed it to several other teachers before waving it slowly to the students by the door and windows. ¡°Did you all see this? Fang Ln, who is Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother, personally told me about this matter. How could it be false? For the sake of concealing this matter, Fang Ln even transferred eight hundred dors to me. As a teacher, I have to maintain a good character. As everyone can tell from our conversation, I rejected her money.¡±
¡°It really seems like so.¡± Several teachers in the office nodded along.
Dong Yuzhu continued speaking in a serious manner. ¡°Fang Xinxin is being kept by a man and has used his dirty money to be here. Our Jing Hua University has always valued moral character. She is sullying our beautiful reputation with her actions. Not to mention, her grades are also atrocious. Shouldn¡¯t she be fired from the school?¡±
Chapter 249: A Hundred Million Dollars Of Raising Fee
Chapter 249: A Hundred Million Dors Of Raising Fee
She was toozy to use oblique words like ¡®dirty¡¯ any longer.
She directly imed that Fang Xinxin was being kept by a man.
It was a hundred million dors. Even if she worked as a lecturer for the rest of her life, she would never be able to earn that amount.
Her earnings weren¡¯t small. In a year, she could earn up to forty thousand dors.
However, she was unlike those capable research professors whose sry made up to a hundred to two hundred thousand a year.
She never woremon clothes. The food she ate, the ces she lived in and the countries she visited were all costly expenditures. A facial mask alone was twenty dors and she used up to two to three masks a day. As a result, her cosmetic items alone cost up to several hundred dors. Normally, when she travelled, she would end up spending several hundred dors a day. Her car was also expensive...
With her current ie, there was no way she could afford it. Even now, she was battling her credit card debt every month.
Since young, she had tried every possible way to be with a rich man. Some men had been willing to spend some money on her. Amongst them, the most generous one had only spent ten to twenty thousand dors on her.
This was a fortune that she, Dong Yuzhu, had spent half her life struggling but failing to obtain. She didn¡¯t understand what sort of luck Fang Xinxin had to obtain that much money!
If Fang Xinxin was young, beautiful and had a good figure, it would be a different matter. However, the damn wench was both ugly and fat!
Even if she, Dong Yuzhu, was in her forties, her appearances and figure would still easily surpass her!
How could Dong Yuzhu possibly ept this? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Right after she spoke, the group of students watching outside became angry. Liu Dan once more led the crowd to start chanting. ¡°Fire her, fire her!¡±
Fang Xinxin directed her sharp re at them. One nce alone carried tenfold the murderous intent anyone could have mustered.
Fattie Fang actually had such a sharp gaze! It was a look that would only be fitting on a predator. Wasn¡¯t she a weak, dumb wench?
The noisy students immediately fell silent.
Liu Dan¡¯s volume also softened. After repeating himself twice, he quickly shut up.
It was silent outside. The remaining teachers and professors in the office also did not say anything. They seemed only interested in watching the show. Dong Yuzhu did not receive the response she desired and was very disappointed. ¡°What is this? Are you all that weak? She red at you once and you won¡¯t even stand up for justice anymore?¡±
¡°Justice?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Lecturer Dong Yuzhu, what evidence do you have in iming that I am being raised by a man?¡±
¡°Your mom...¡±
¡°In the messages my mother sent you, she only stated that I did not enter Jing Hua University through the normal path. Did she say I was being raised?¡±
¡°Then why don¡¯t you exin it yourself? If you¡¯re not being kept by a man, why would an unrted man spend a hundred million dors on you?¡± Dong Yuzhu spoke intimidatingly.
In a fit of agitation, she grabbed Fang Xinxin¡¯s sleeves. ¡°You better not say that it was your adopted brother, Fang Shaohua. He is a criminal!¡±
¡°Pa!¡±
With a loud, resounding sound, Fang Xinxin delivered a p on Dong Yuzhu¡¯s face.
Her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, was wrongly charged. Before his charges were cleared, she had no way of defending him in front of anyone.
Still, she would not tolerate anyone insulting her brother in front of her!
Her p was delivered with such force that Dong Yuzhu¡¯s face immediately became swollen.
In an instant, everyone was dumbstruck.
It was not clear who started it, but the students began shouting. ¡°Fang Xinxin actually beat a teacher up! This is insane!¡±
Dong Yuzhu suffered the p and stared at Fang Xinxin in disbelief. She then tried to choke Fang Xinxin as though she had lost control. ¡°Ah! You dared to hit me! I¡¯m going to kill you! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
¡°Teacher Dong, calm down, calm down!¡± Several teachers and professors rushed to hold her back.
¡°Fang Xinxin ispletelywless. She actually dared to hit her teacher. I¡¯m ashamed to have a third sister like her.¡±
Fang Manxue, who always enjoyed putting on the act of a good person, stood up. ¡°Teacher Dong, I support you. Fire her!¡±
Chapter 250: Urging Her To Dropout
Chapter 250: Urging Her To Dropout
¡°Wah... Fang Manxue is Fang Xinxin¡¯s sister, but even she isn¡¯t helping her anymore.¡± The students spoke amongst themselves. ¡°There¡¯s never been a case of a student hitting the teacher in Jing Hua University. It seems like even god himself won¡¯t be able to help Fang Xinxin now!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Manxue who stood amongst the crowd of students. The other party returned her a look of, ¡®you¡¯re doomed¡¯.
She shifted her gaze back in disdain.
All of the teachers, who originally did not state their stance, stood in a line against her.
The head of teaching, Ma Yongting, spoke up first. ¡°Fang Xinxin, Jing Hua University has always been a fair ce that goes by reason. If you had chosen to speak properly, perhaps, the school would have kept you. However... Jing Hua University has no tolerance for the students who dare to use physical force against teachers. It would be for the best if you leave our school.¡±
¡°How can this be resolved so simply?¡± Dong Yuzhu held her swollen cheap.
The red, swollen mark on her face carried the imprint of Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand. As she had applied a thickyer of make-up on her face, the subsequent mark was especially obvious. ¡°She pped me. Everyone present witnessed it. I¡¯m going to make a police report and have her arrested!¡±
She was actually hit by a student. All of her face was thrown away. Furthermore, she had been hit by the most shameful and ugly student in school!
¡°Of course.¡± Ma Yongting responded. ¡°This is your right as a teacher.¡±
Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°Head Ma, you¡¯ve been the head of the teaching department for years. You¡¯ve always been fair when ites to managing matters. The matter today has been blown out of proportion in front of so many students. You have to give me an opportunity to exin.¡±
Dong Yuzhu¡¯s eyes were nearly emitting mes. ¡°You¡¯re still trying to argue your way out of this? Save it for when you¡¯re locked up in jail!¡±
She then brought her phone out to call the police.
Fang Xinxin responded. ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯m afraid once you¡¯re locked up, you¡¯ll even lose your job as a teacher!¡±
¡°You¡¯re really taking advantage of the man who is supporting you. You¡¯repletelywless!¡± Dong Yuzhu had nowhere to vent her anger. ¡°I¡¯ve educated students for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen a student like you. You dare to be this undisciplined even after hitting a teaching...¡±
Everyone was watching Fang Xinxin with hateful looks, as though she was a sinner who did not belong in society.
Just as everyone assumed Fang Xinxin was doomed, Fang Xinxin sighed in obvious sadness. ¡°I¡¯ve also never seen a teacher like you. Even though you harmed me first, you turned around and used me before I could speak up.¡±
Dong Yuzhu was displeased. ¡°Fang Xinxin, when did I hurt you? Clearly, you were the one who pped me first. There are so many pairs of eyes present here. Everyone saw it clearly.¡±
Everyone was about to voice their agreement when Fang Xinxin tugged her sleeve back. The bruise on her arm was outstanding and right in the middle of the discoloured skin, there was a bright red, scratch mark with a little blood oozing out of it. ¡°As a student, I, Fang Xinxin, absolutely respects my teachers. I also admire the teachers who are worthy of my respect, unlike Dong Yuzhu...¡±
She shot Dong Yuzhu a hateful look. ¡°Everyone, please take a look at the wound on my arm. Earlier, everyone was watching. Teacher Dong was the one who grabbed me first. She did not only leave a mark. Her nails are sharper than that of a demon and she tore my skin! I admit, I hit her. But she was the one who hurt me first. Is she the only one allowed to hurt her students? Am I not allowed to physically defend myself?¡±
The hallway full of students had all of their eyes fixed on Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist.
¡°That true...¡± Some students agreed.
¡°Earlier, Teacher Dong was the one who grabbed Fang Xinxin first. I had thought it was a simple pull, but I never expected that she would scratch her to the point of bleeding. It¡¯s no wonder that Fang Xinxin wanted to p her.¡±
Chapter 251: Dong Yuzhu Started It
Chapter 251: Dong Yuzhu Started It
Dong Yuzhu was famous for making up stories about students to their parents.
She was unlike the other teachers, who only notified parents of their children¡¯s misbehaviours for the students¡¯ own good.
She was the sort who enjoyed adding details and exaggerating small events for the sake of painting a poor image of the students in front of their parents. Her goal was to strengthen her intimidating image before the students.
Although she seeded in doing so, her methods had led to some students¡¯ acute dislike for her.
However, most of the parents felt that she was great and always ate out of her hands.
Some students had suffered her wrongful usations and had yet to seed in defending themselves. They had been suffering silently in anger for a long time.
One of them said, ¡°Why else would she be called Madam Kill-All? Isn¡¯t it logical that her nails are sharp?¡±
¡°That small amount of blood makes it a small wound. If she had been serious, she would have already cut you down!¡±
These words tickled the students¡¯ughter.
¡°Who, who called me Madam Kill-All!¡± Dong Yuzhu red at the students.
She assumed no one would admit it, but Jiang Xingnan responded with a grin. ¡°I did!¡±
¡°You...¡± Dong Yuzhu appeared angry and frustrated, but she eventually put on a helpless expression. ¡°Xiao Nan [1. Little Nan. A way of shortening young children¡¯s names endearingly.], don¡¯t mess around with everyone else.¡±
Her tone did not contain any ming. Instead, when she addressed Jiang Xingnan, her tone was filled with concern.
If it had been any other students, there was no doubt she would have criticised them harshly.
She was exactly what one would expect from someone who bowed down to power but stepped on the weak.
Everyone knew that she had floundered in her position as a lecturer for years but could never manage to be even an assistant professor. Her thoughts had shifted onto the principal and she was constantly trying ways to build closer rtions with him.
She always tried to please the principal¡¯s only son, Jiang Xingnan, with every method possible.
It was a known fact that the principal was not impressed by her methods and always avoided her.
Her actions had long been discussed by the students and drew a lot of criticism.
Dong Yuzhu immediately suffered many looks of disdain. She could only look away from them.
At this moment, the school bell rang. Several lecturers tried to leave the office but could not squeeze through the students. It seemed like the students had no intentions of leaving for ss.
Upon seeing this, Ma Yongting immediately said decisively, ¡°All right. Let¡¯s return to the topic and quickly settle Fang Xinxin¡¯s issue. We shouldn¡¯t dy everyone¡¯s lessons any longer.¡±
His gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s injured wrist. He then took in Dong Yuzhu¡¯s swollen face. ¡°Teacher Dong, although Fang Xinxin hit you, it¡¯s true that you were the one who first hurt her. As a teacher, you are absolutely not allowed to harm the students. The students are also not prohibited from defending themselves.¡±
¡°But...¡± Dong Yuzhu wanted to argue but was immediately cut off by Ma Yongting. ¡°The person who made the first move will always be on the losing end. Furthermore, you¡¯re also a teacher. I rmend for you to not report to the police and allow us to settle this issue internally. If this matter is blown up, it will be a disadvantage to you.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Although Dong Yuzhu was unhappy, she could not go against the head of the department. She feared that her goal of bing an assistant professor would go even further away from her.
Ma Yongting turned to Fang Xinxin. ¡°You imed that you are not being kept by any man. In that case, please exin. Why was an unrted man willing to spend a hundred million dors on you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. If she wasn¡¯t eligible toe into Jing Hua University, how did she be a student here?¡± Wu Jiatong raised her question from where she stood amongst the crowd.
¡°I¡¯ve been engaged to someone since young. He is outstanding in terms of both character and family background.¡± Fang Xinxin replied politely. ¡°Back when I performed poorly, I thought I would not be able to continue with my studies.¡±
At the time, her mother, Fang Ln, had told her that a terrible student like her would only waste money by attending school. She would also be humiliating herself. It would be better if she went to find a job instead.
Chapter 252: A Hundred Million Dollars Worth Of School Fees
Chapter 252: A Hundred Million Dors Worth Of School Fees
Despite her wanting to study further, she had no choice but to go along with her mother¡¯s wishes.
¡°My fianc¨¦¡¯s heart ached for my situation and he decided to sponsor my admission into a famous university abroad with a hundred million dors. Through his actions, I was able to get epted into that university. After that, I came to Jing Hua University as an exchange student and was eventually transferred here to be a proper student of Jing Hua University. This is my so-called ¡®secret¡¯ that Teacher Dong spoke of.¡±
Fang Xinxin paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°The matter of my fianc¨¦ spending a hundred million dors to exchange an opportunity for me to be enrolled in a foreign university is amon urrence. The only difference is that my fianc¨¦ happens to be wealthier and was able to afford arger sum. But this is unrted to Jing Hua University. Jing Hua University remains the best university in the country, and I am not being kept by some man. I do not think that by transferring here from a different school, I am humiliating Jing Hua University¡¯s reputation.¡±
In her previous life, she had been foolish and suffered a lot of coldness and humiliation after enrolling here.
With Fang Manxue and Fang Ln¡¯s interference, she med all of this on Bai Qinghao and felt that if he had not been a busybody, she would not have to go through this.
She never even thanked him once for the money he had spent.
In fact, the trouble she met in school waspletely unrted to him.
He had helped her in getting a chance to progress from being just a high school graduate. Moreover, he gave her the opportunity to be a student in Jing Hua University, the school that everyone dreamed of attending.
After gaining rity in her mind, her heart genuinely ached for how much Bai Qinghao had done for her. She finally knew that he had the best intentions for her.
If things went as they did in herst life, she would suffer today¡¯s defamation and the school would decide to expel her. Then, Bai Qinghao would secretly interfere to suppress the matter.
In the four years she stayed in university, she was almost expelled many times. It was with Bai Qinghao¡¯s help that she eventually managed to graduate from this ce.
Still, whenever teachers or students brought her name up, they would consider her to be a stain on the university¡¯s reputation. Bai Qinghao¡¯s reputation suffered as well because of her.
Thus, in this life, even without depending on Bai Qinghao, she would definitely eliminate all those stains on her reputation and be an independent woman. This way, she would be able to... be of some support to him.
Upon hearing Fang Xinxin¡¯s version, all the students and teachers fell silent.
¡°Is that the truth?¡± The person who asked this was Jiang Xingnan, who was leaning against the door.
¡°Of course it¡¯s a lie.¡± Dong Yuzhu responded angrily. ¡°She¡¯s a kept woman and she spent a hundred million dors to be enrolled here. She isn¡¯t an exchange student at all!¡±
Jiang Xingnan became unhappy. ¡°Teacher Dong, you have to be responsible for your words. Do you mean to say that someone from Jing Hua University epted the money? If you do, everyone will assume that my father, the principal, is the most suspicious person in this case. Are you certain about this matter?¡±
Although Dong Yuzhu felt this way, she tried her best to deny it. ¡°I never said that the principal epted bribes.¡±
¡°My father is fair and hard working. Since giving birth to me, he has been expressing his gratitude to God everyday. The profits from my mom¡¯spany are also endless. There¡¯s absolutely no way my father will ept bribes!¡± Jiang Xingnan normally appeared to be careless and yful, but when it came to crucial moments, he knew how to protect what was important to him.
Fang Xinxin had already expected this situation. She brought out a certificate from a certain university with the university¡¯s logo stamped on it. On the certificate, the sum disyed had eight zeros behind it. ¡°Everyone, please take a look. When my fianc¨¦ donated the sum to the school under my name, it was properly documented. No one in Jing Hua University epted bribes. If you wish to find someone to me, please me certain universities for epting donations. However, please also respect that different universities have different ways of operating and refrain from being too harsh on them.¡±
Dong Yuzhu realised that Fang Xinxin was not lying. After all, a phone call alone could verify whether the document was real or not.
However, she struggled to ept that, with the turn of events, she had ended up on the losing end.
Chapter 253: Demerit
Chapter 253: Demerit
Fang Xinxin suddenly turned towards Dong Yuzhu and asked. ¡°Teacher Dong, aren¡¯t you normally very concerned about your students? You didn¡¯t even know that I was an exchange student?¡±
¡°I...¡± She bit her lip. Why would she pay attention to Fang Xinxin, the ugly trash!
¡°That¡¯s right. She didn¡¯t even know this. She appears to be so worried about her students. What a hypocrite!¡± A student spoke up in the crowd and the other students gradually started to agree.
In an instant, the number of people, who could not stand Dong Yuzhu¡¯s attitude, increased.
Dong Yuzhu¡¯splexion turned pale and her expression was extremely ugly.
Ma Yongting said in a heavy voice, ¡°Alright, everyone! I hereby announce that we will not be expelling Fang Xinxin from the school. We will not pursue the incidence where they used physical force against each other. The matter ends here.¡±
¡°Is that all?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. She was clearly not happy with the conclusion.
Ma Yongting questioned her sternly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what exactly are you unhappy about?¡±
¡°Head Ma, you¡¯re being biased.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed out bluntly. ¡°I am willing to let go of all other matters. But Teacher Dong ndered me and imed that I am being kept by a man. She has seriously damaged my reputation. I demand that she apologise to me immediately...¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t ask for a mile now that you¡¯ve gotten an inch!¡± Dong Yuzhu would never lower her head to such a disgusting, ugly student.
¡°Lecturer Dong, don¡¯t be impatient. I¡¯m not done speaking yet.¡± Fang Xinxin continued.
¡°Furthermore, I request for Lecturer Dong to be assigned a demerit for this incident, and for it to be noted in her teaching career!¡±
Dong Yuzhu immediately responded with displeasure in her voice.¡±This is only a small matter. Head Ma, don¡¯t listen to her. I was also misled by Fang Ln. If you want anyone to take responsibility, look for Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother, Fang Ln!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care who it was that misled you.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke calmly. ¡°As a university lecturer, you ndered a student carelessly without rifying the facts. Today, I, Fang Xinxin, have a resilient heart. But if you had wronged a different female student with a weaker mental health, such an incident might have led to an episode of depression. If things were even more serious, she might even have attempted suicide. Have you considered these consequences?¡±
She gestured toward the students outside. ¡°Head Ma, she ndered me in front of all these students and prevented the teachers and students from attending their lessons. This entiremotion was caused by Lecturer Dong. Shouldn¡¯t her mistake be registered by the school?¡±
Ma Yongting turned to Dong Yuzhu and said firmly, ¡°It should be! Lecturer Dong, I represent the school to inform you that you will receive a demerit for this. I also request that you apologise to Fang Xinxin in front of everyone!¡±
Dong Yuzhu¡¯splexion became pale. Such an apology would throw her face awaypletely!
Moreover, if she received a demerit, bing an assistant professor would turn into an impossibility!
¡°I refuse to ept this...¡± She was about to argue when Ma Yongting added further. ¡°If you don¡¯t ept the school¡¯s decision, you will only blow this matter up further. Nothing will change. At most, it will be known publicly that you refused to ept the consequences for your own actions.¡±
At this point, Dong Yuzhu could only grit her teeth with a dark expression on her face and apologise to Fang Xinxin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
Although she apologised, Dong Yuzhu¡¯s eyes held a murderous glint when she said the words.
Fang Xinxin had no intentions of making things hard for her any longer. She understood that she needed to act within her limits.
¡°Wow...¡± The students standing outside the office were dumbstruck.
¡°Madam Kill-all not only failed to expel Fang Xinxin. She even apologised. It¡¯s a miracle, ah!¡±
¡°Look at her unwilling expression! This is what it means to lift a rock and drop it on your own feet. She deserves it!¡±
Chapter 254: Stay Far Away From Her
Chapter 254: Stay Far Away From Her
Amidst themotion, Dong Yuzhu raised her voice and said, ¡°Head Ma, I am unable to teach today. I¡¯m taking a leave!¡±
She stomped out of the office with a paleplexion.
The students kindly made way for her to pass through.
¡°If you¡¯re done watching the show, hurry off to your sses. Do you all wish to get a demerit as well!¡± Ma Yongting addressed them sternly and the students immediately dispersed.
As Fang Xinxin made her way out of the office, one of her ssmates, Zhang Sisi, called out to her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I have something to ask you. Who is that extremely rich fianc¨¦ of yours?¡±
All of the students immediately began to dawdle their feet and leaned their ears closer to these two. A few of them even turned around.
Fang Xinxin had no intentions of concealing it and was about to speak up.
But Fang Manxue, who was in the midst of her regret over how Fang Xinxin had sessfully ovee the situation, immediately panicked.
She rushed to speak up first. ¡°Why are you so curious? There¡¯s nothing to ask. Fang Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦ is quite good, but he maintains a low-profile and does not wish to publicise this matter.¡±
Zhang Sisi smiled. ¡°You are her second sister. You definitely know about it. Tell me...¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing to say. Come on, third sister, let¡¯s go to ss.¡± Fang Manxue was worried that Fang Xinxin would give it away. She rushed to tug her along.
For the next two sses, the question Fang Xinxin received the most remained the same: Who is your fianc¨¦?
Why was it that she never brought him up in the past?
These questions were all fought away by Fang Manxue.
In the afternoon, Fang Xinxin borrowed this incident as an excuse to not be with Fang Manxue.
She walked alone in the small park across the school building. The warm sunlight filtered through the tree branches and formed speckles of bright spots on the ground.
The breeze was soothing and it shook the trees gently. Due to this movement, the air feltfortable.
It had been a long time since shest walked on this path.
In her previous life, she died many years after leaving school. She had nearly forgotten about this period of her life.
She had never expected that she would be able to return to this age.
¡°Quickly look, it¡¯s fattie Fang!¡±
¡°It¡¯s so rare to see the giant witch¡¯s true appearance. It¡¯s even more ugly that it seems on the school forum, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Several students shouted as they pointed at Fang Xinxin.
Even the students passing by walked slowly and kept their eyes trained on her.
Fang Xinxin nced at them. She did not recognise any of these students.
However, the rumors that Fang Xinxin desired to be rich, had spent a significant portion of the Fang family¡¯s money and many more like these flooded the school forum frequently and were known to almost everyone.
Nearly all the teachers and students in this school knew her.
Giant witch, fattie...
These nicknames provoked her anger. However, she was toozy to be petty with these people who were clueless about the truth.
From what she recalled, many years after graduation, she once coincidentally heard Fang Manxue talking about this with Lou Yuna.
It turned out that the rumours about her were entirely caused by these two women.
Fang Manxue, the vicious bitch! She had spoken up for Fang Xinxin on these forums, but also created a separate ount where she ndered her and revealed all sorts of information about her.
Whenever she tried to exin herself, Fang Manxue would stop her and im that her action would only worsen the situation.
With time, Fang Xinxinpletely gave up attempting to clear the air.
She had a lot of nicknames that were given by Fang Manxue. Other students picked them up and began using them to mock her.
At the thought of this, Fang Xinxin felt that she had nowhere to vent her anger. One day, she would definitely peel off Fang Manxue¡¯s hypocritical skin!
¡°Stay far away from her!¡± A student standing around twenty metres away abruptly shouted at all the students near Fang Xinxin.
¡°What is it?¡± Several students were confused.
Chapter 255: Xingnan’s Schemes
Chapter 255: Xingnan¡¯s Schemes
¡°Don¡¯t you guys know? Fang Xinxin offended Brother Nan. He has publicly announced that he is going to make her face the consequences! Aren¡¯t you afraid of being implicated if you walk with her?¡±
¡°What, then she¡¯s screwed!¡± The students who stood near Fang Xinxin quickly rushed away. They only stopped when they were at a good distance from her.
Fang Xinxin was unfazed as she headed for the cafeteria. She was hungry and needed a meal.
She turned around the corner to take a different path and noticed more than ten students following her from afar.
She immediately understood that these busybodies hoped to watch her meet with misfortune.
Some of them even held their phones up and probably wanted to record it as it happened.
As she walked past arge tree, a long creature abruptly fell out of the tree branches. Just as it was about tond on Fang Xinxin, she suddenly shifted toward the side.
The creaturended directly on the floor and stretched it¡¯s long, ck figure.
Fang Xinxin appeared as though this was unrted to her. She continued walking forward and did not pay a single nce to the creature.
Behind her, a chain of screams could be heard. ¡°It¡¯s a snake!¡±
¡°It fell from the tree, that¡¯s so terrifying!¡±
¡°My god, did Brother Nan n this? It nearlynded on Fang Xinxin...¡±
Jiang Xingnan stood on the third floor of a particr school building. He held a pair of binocrs and was observing the situation.
When Fang Xinxin avoided his trap, he pursed his lips with some regret.
He brought his phone out and dialled a call to reprimand someone. ¡°How did you manage to miss her? Trash!¡±
A man had been hiding in the tree. Right after tossing the snake down, he had run away.
¡°My apologies, Young Master Jiang. I did not expect her to suddenly move to the side.¡±
¡°Pick that snake up. I have other uses for it.¡±
The person on the other end responded. ¡°I understand.¡±
...
Fang Xinxin passed by a snacks kiosk. She deliberated over it and felt that she needed to buy some items to prepare.
Thus, she spent three dors on the cheapest umbre they had, as well as some other little items.
As she passed by a school building, one student suddenly poured a bucket of fluid out of the windows.
Just as the fluid nearly sshed on Fang Xinxin, she opened her umbre and sessfully prevented it from touching her.
¡°Wow... that was a close call!¡± The students watching her were dumbstruck and eximed in admiration. ¡°We really have to stay away from her to be safe!¡±
Fang Xinxin took a sniff of the stench emitting from her umbre. It was actually urine!
If it had sshed on her, she would have stunk for the entire day.
Jiang Xingnan was really taking his prank too far.
She passed by a rubbish bin and closed the umbre, tossing it inside the bin.
The group of students took in the puddle of urine on the ground and sighed. They felt that she was truly too lucky. She was even able to avoid this.
As they watched Fang Xinxin¡¯s receding back view, they grew fearful of identally falling for Jiang Xingnan¡¯s traps. A few of them gave up following her.
Around five to six of them were braver and continued after her.
Fang Xinxin passed by a patch of grass. She noticed something amiss from the corner of her eyes.
It was not obvious from afar, but when she paid close attention to it, she noticed that a small portion of the grass patch had a slightly different colour. It was clear that it was not actual grass, but a patch of artificial grass. Ayer of transparent adhesive was applied on it.
It was a ratherrge patch of artificial grass. She guessed that if she stepped on it, she would be stuck to it like a mouse.
Jiang Xingnan held his binocrs and watched as Fang Xinxin approached that area. He imagined the scene when her shoes got stuck on the grass patch, and she leaned down to remove her shoes. She would then find both her hands and feet stuck to the grass.
Even if she struggled like a mouse on a trap, she would be unable to escape...
Chapter 256: Wasting A Cotton Bud
Chapter 256: Wasting A Cotton Bud
Fang Xinxin did not even pause in her steps. He wasn¡¯t sure if she was unlucky, or if she did not notice it, but she headed straight for the artificial patch of grass.
Jiang Xingnan smirked in disdain.
It was arge patch of ¡®mouse trap¡¯. There was no way she could avoid it.
All of a sudden, Yu Liang seemed to appear out of nowhere. He charged toward Fang Xinxin and used all his strength to shove her towards the patch of grass.
Fang Xinxin was already prepared for this. She shifted to the side and lifted one of her feet slightly. Instead of being shoved, she sessfully tripped Yu Liang and caused him to fall straight onto the giant ¡®mouse trap¡¯.
¡°Ah!¡± Yu Liang cried out. He struggled to stand up but ended up lifting the entire,rge ¡®mouse trap¡¯ off the ground.
The more he tried to pull it away from himself, the more it stuck to him. Eventually, it clung onto his entire body.
¡°Brother Nan, save me, I¡¯m stuck!¡± Yu Liang cried out in misery.
Fang Xinxin did not conceal her loudughter. ¡°The giant ¡®mouse¡¯ has turned into a human! Hahaha!¡±
¡°Fattie Fang, don¡¯t be so pleased. I¡¯m Brother Nan¡¯s follower! If you provoke me, you won¡¯t have any good days ahead!¡± Yu Liang threatened her.
¡°Tsk!¡± Fang Xinxin snorted. ¡°To me, your Brother Nan cannot even be considered a fart!¡±
She then pointed up towards a certain school building.
On the third floor of the building, Jiang Xingnan, who had been pretending to be clueless as he observed Fang Xinxin, looked furious. ¡°Fuck, Fang Xinxin, the damn bitch. She dared to look down on her old man!¡±
Clicking noise then resounded from a group of students¡¯ phones. They took a lot of photos of Yu Liang¡¯s dishevelled figure.
¡°Stop taking, stop taking photos!¡± Yu Liang did not wish to have such photos clicked. He curled his body up to conceal his face and threw himself on the ground, using the giant, artificial grass patch to conceal his figure.
However, in the next moment, he abruptly struggled and made use of all of his strength to turn around. He gasped. ¡°Save... save me...¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong, something seems amiss!¡± The group of students who had been watching the show carefully approached.
¡°The glue is stuck to my nose... I can¡¯t breathe. I¡¯m suffocating!¡± Yu Liang¡¯s face turned red. As he spoke, he shifted his lips and they gradually became sealed with the glue. He could then only release whimpering noises.
¡°He is going to die!¡± The students threw away their thoughts of watching the show.
Several students tried to pull the grass patch off of Yu Liang. However, they ended up being glued to it instead.
¡°Don¡¯t rub your nose, or the nostrils will be sealed!¡± Fang Xinxin warned them loudly.
The students immediately froze and did not dare to touch their nose despite feeling itchy.
¡°Quickly give a call to a teacher. Let¡¯s ask a teacher to help us...¡± One of the students by the side brought his phone out.
¡°Brother Nan will be punished for this. He will be angry...¡±
¡°What do we do then?¡± Another female student whose hands were trapped was on the verge of tears.
Fang Xinxin saw that Yu Liang was nearly suffocating. She considered that they were ssmates and decided she did not want anyone to lose their lives, even if this trouble had been caused by Jiang Xingnan.
Thus, she raised her voice at him. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±
Her voice was loud and firm. Even Yu Liang, who had been struggling, strangely obeyed hermand.
She brought out a pack of wet tissue she had bought earlier and wiped away the glue that was clinging to his nose. She then brought out a cotton bud and cleaned his nose thoroughly.
She had originally bought it to keep in her dorm room so that she could dig her ears. This event caused her to waste a cotton bud.
Yu Liang took in her serious gaze. Her moist eyes were especially bright. They were as moving as the stars that twinkled in the night sky.
Chapter 257: He Was Fang Xinxin’s Fiancé
Chapter 257: He Was Fang Xinxin¡¯s Fianc¨¦
He suddenly felt that, despite all her e, she possessed a unique charisma.
His youthful heart was suddenly moved.
Fang Xinxin squeezed the used cotton bud and wet tissue into a crumpled roll. Then, she tossed it urately into the rubbish bin twenty metres away. Her movement was extremely cool!
Yu Liang was dazed. He seemed to have forgotten that he was stuck to the artificial grass.
Jiang Xingnan, who had been watching the scene with his binocrs, rushed over. Upon seeing the situation, he asked. ¡°Yu Liang, what¡¯s wrong with you? I asked you to push Fang Xinxin into the glue patch. Why did you roll into it yourself?¡±
¡°Brother Nan, I...¡± Yu Liang stared at the expressionless Fang Xinxin and suddenly felt thankful that he did not harm her earlier.
Fang Xinxin gave Jiang Xingnan a dark look and rewarded him with one word. ¡°Childish!¡±
¡°Who did you just call childish?¡± Jiang Xingnan was about to lose his temper when she turned around to leave. She was clearly toozy to banter with him.
¡°Brother Nan, what do I do now? I can¡¯t tear myself away from this...¡± Yu Liang was on the verge of tears.
The other students also cried for help.
Jiang Xingnan pointed at the nearby, man-madeke. ¡°If you jump in there for a wash, the glue will melt away.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t swim. Will it work if I take a shower?¡± One female student asked carefully.
¡°Nonsense, of course it will.¡± Jiang Xingnan took in their sorry figures. ¡°This Young Master was involved in this. I¡¯llpensate everyone with two hundred dors.¡±
Someone immediately cheered. ¡°Thank you, Brother Nan!¡±
For some students, two hundred dors was nearly equal to their one month of expenses.
...
Fang Xinxin finally arrived safely at the canteen.
It was lunchtime and the cafeteria was extremely full.
The moment she appeared, nearly all the students turned to take in her presence.
¡°Wow, Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re still alive?¡± Her ssmate, Wu Jiatong, watched her in fascination.
¡°Quickly look at the photos on the forum. Brother Nan set up ¡®three traps¡¯ for Fang Xinxin earlier. To think that she is still living safely, she is really too lucky!¡±
All the students were discussing various issues about her.
However, no one brought up the identity of her fianc¨¦ again.
She swiped her card and bought a set of one meat and two vegetables. She found a seat and sat down.
While eating, she entered the school forum on her phone. As expected, her earlier ¡®experience¡¯ was thoroughly documented on the forum.
More than a hundred ounts were discussing the plight of Yu Liang¡¯s sorry figure. Yu Liang was Brother Nan¡¯s most loyal follower. They would have never expected him to have a moment of clumsiness like this.
Everyone felt that Fang Xinxin was doomed for even worse consequences than these.
Fang Xinxin frowned but remained unfazed by this matter.
However, she had found a different forum. Someone had posted that Fang Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦ was Ke Tianbao, the spoiled son of a wealthy family. They even posted pictures of standing her in front of a particr vi to meet him.
Looking at this photo, Fang Xinxin recalled the event.
More than ten days ago, she had visited Qian Shan Wan, Sun Zhiming¡¯s vi to seek Mr. Abott out. They had further discussed the matter of the game, ¡®Fantasy of War¡¯.
Ke Tianbao coincidentally stayed in that area.
On that day, she did bump into Ke Tianbao. However, the two of them did not interact. They only coincidentally brushed shoulders.
However, from the way this photo was taken...
It seemed as though they were facing each other, as though they were on a date.
[Although Ke Tianbao is one of the wealthy Young Masters in the country, he is a famous yboy. He has had more than thirty girlfriends.]
Chapter 258: Manxue Helped Xinxin Find A Fiancé
Chapter 258: Manxue Helped Xinxin Find A Fianc¨¦
[All of Young Master Ke¡¯s ex-girlfriends were either famous models and idols. Even the least outstanding one was a famous web idol. They all had outstanding figures and appearances. How could he have ended up getting engaged to Fang Xinxin?]
[Although Fang Xinxin is fat and ugly, she is still the daughter of a wealthy family. If she wishes to, she can still attract some flowers and bees. And if she has to get married, she has to look for someone presentable...]
[I think that Fang Xinxin herself won¡¯t be presentable very soon. To think she could be Young Master Ke¡¯s fianc¨¦e with that appearance. Even if she looks unpresentable, it will still be worth it...]
This particr forum was flooded withments.
Fang Xinxin carelessly skimmed through the content and quickly grew tired of it.
Her fianc¨¦e was Ke Tianbao? She didn¡¯t even know him.
That day, the person who had followed her to Qian Shan Wan had been Fang Manxue. There was no need to make any guesses regarding the culprit behind this rumour. The person who had posted this matter was surely Fang Manxue.
This way, her second sister wouldn¡¯t have to work so hard to prevent her from announcing the true identity of her fianc¨¦.
Fang Manxue approached her with a tray of food. She seemed fearful of stepping too close, as though she would also be implicated. ¡°Third sister, you were here? I¡¯ve seen the discussion on the forum. It was really a close call! If that snake had fallen on you, if urine had sttered on you and if you had fallen for the glue trap...¡±
Fang Xinxin only ate half a bowl of rice. She quickly finished her food and responded coldly. ¡°Second sister, you¡¯re standing so close to me. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Jiang Xingnan would take it out on you and treat you simrly?¡±
Fang Manxue was immediately frightened into taking several steps backwards. She knew very well that Brother Nan was a little demon. He was capable of doing anything.
For safety¡¯s sake, it was best to stay further away from Fang Xinxin.
¡°Manxue ah, you¡¯re really too loyal.¡± Lou Yuna stood five metres away to speak to them.
¡°Everyone is standing so far away from your third sister. You¡¯re the only person standing close to her.¡±
¡°Are you blind?¡± Fang Xinxin sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t you see that my second sister backed away from me? She¡¯s almost ten metres away from me right now.¡±
¡°...¡± Lou Yuna was choked by her words.
She refuted hatefully. ¡°So what? Who asked you to provoke Brother Nan? Manxue is being sweet enough by still speaking to you.¡±
¡°Goddess Manxue!¡± A female student approached and spoke to Fang Manxue admiringly. ¡°I finally got to meet you in real life. You¡¯re even more beautiful than you appear on the forum photos. Your figure is outstanding, you¡¯re beautiful and generous, graceful and...¡±
Fang Manxue did not know her. ¡°Who are you?¡±
The student said, ¡°You¡¯re truly an outstanding goddess. I¡¯m Qian Xiaohe. I¡¯m a year four student. Considering that you¡¯re much above me, there¡¯s no need to address me as a senior. If you don¡¯t mind, let¡¯s be friends.¡±
Fang Manxue had eaten an entire bucket of ttery. She was extremely pleased, but not foolish. ¡°You¡¯re ttering me too much. Be honest. What are you after?¡±
¡°I want to get to know you.¡± Qian Xiaohe replied. ¡°You¡¯re the fianc¨¦e of the country¡¯s male idol, Bai Qinghao, ah! I heard that you¡¯ve been engaged to him since young. Your rtionship is extremely strong and no one can interfere in it. I even heard that, for your sake, he has refused every woman¡¯s approach.¡±
Saying so, she gave Fang Xinxin a look., ¡°Look at your third sister. She¡¯s so ugly and constantly pits herself against you. You still took your rtionship into consideration and found her a wealthy fianc¨¦ like Ke Tianbao. Even with your sister¡¯s ugly appearance, you were able to find her a match. Look at me... my figure should be a thousand times better than hers, isn¡¯t it? The Commander has broad connections and must know a lot of people. Will you introduce me to a match when you¡¯re free? Of course, I want someone with quality.¡±
Fang Manxue nced at Fang Xinxin from the corner of her eyes and did not respond directly. ¡°Third sister, if you need anything else in the future, feel free to tell me. I¡¯ll definitely help you if I can!¡±
Chapter 259: Manxue Helped Xinxin Obtain Her Current Dorm
Chapter 259: Manxue Helped Xinxin Obtain Her Current Dorm
What she intended to inform everyone was that she was indeed responsible for helping Ke Tianba be Fang Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦.
¡°Qian Xiaohe, will you save yourself some face?¡± Lou Yuna mocked. ¡°You¡¯ve only just gotten to know her, yet you want our Manxue to introduce a rich man to you? Who do you think you are?¡±
¡°Who doesn¡¯t know that you spend each and every day ttering Manxue. Do you mean to say you¡¯ve never hoped for her to find someone for you?¡± Qian Xiaohe shot back.
¡°I...¡± Lou Yuna wanted to refute her im.
However, Fang Manxueughed and said, ¡°The people by Qinghao¡¯s side are all wealthy young masters and important figures. It¡¯s impossible to find a poor person in that crowd. If there are future opportunities, I can introduce them to you.¡±
¡°Wah, Goddess Manxue, you¡¯re too kind. Could I add you on WeChat...¡±
¡°Goddess, please let me add you as well...¡±
A group of students rushed to tter her.
All of a sudden, Fang Manxue was being looked upon by arge crowd.
This was how she had grown to be so well-connected.
In truth however, she only painted lies and empty promises for these people.
It was their fault for falling for it.
Fang Xinxin watched them indifferently, standing on the side.
She brought out a small tissue from her bag and wiped her lips lightly.
Fang Manxue maintained her smile and she entertained group after group of admirers. She even began giving out her autographs.
None of these people actually wanted her autograph.
What they truly wanted was the Commander¡¯s future fianc¨¦e¡¯s autograph.
Fang Xinxin sat before the dining table and looked at her. ¡°Second sister, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re too shameless?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, are you even human!¡± Qian Xiaohe was enraged. ¡°No matter what, you can¡¯t speak to your second sister that way. Think about it yourself. With your horrible appearance, if it hadn¡¯t been your second sister, even a beggar on the streets wouldn¡¯t have wanted you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Fang Xinxin, Young Master Ke is willing to marry you and even paid over a hundred million dors for you. You should learn to be content...¡± More and more ¡®admirers¡¯ began speaking up for Fang Manxue.
This group of people raged at Fang Xinxin and wished they could skin her alive.
¡°It seems like there¡¯s no point in my exnation.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°My fianc¨¦ is not Ke Tianbao. He was not introduced to me by Fang Manxue.¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Qian Xiaohe had just obtained Fang Manxue¡¯s promise and was not convinced. This was because she believed only her goddess was speaking the truth.
Fang Xinxin took in the crowd of blind admirers around Fang Manxue. There was an evenrger crowd of people watching the amusing performance around them.
It seemed like only a minority of people were shameless, others were simply bystanders.
Fang Xinxin decided not to say anything further. She stood up and left the cafeteria
Fang Manxue stood in the middle of the crowd¡¯s admiring gaze. However, internally, she was anxious.
She enjoyed the privilege of being the Commander¡¯s fianc¨¦e too much.
Thus, she absolutely could not allow this lie to be exposed.
Her only choice was to make it a reality.
She had to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman to make this work.
Fang Xinxin finished her afternoon sses by 2 in the afternoon. She then visited the gym to work out for three hours. She was covered in sweat by the time she was done.
That evening, she did not return to the Fang family home. Instead, she returned to the school¡¯s dormitory.
Some of the school¡¯s dormitories were located in old buildings. A single room was shared by six students, and the students had to use public toilets and bathrooms.
Only two buildings were newly built. They were D1 and D2. The rooms in here were shared by four students. Every room came with it¡¯s own private balcony, toilet, bathroom and many other facilities.
These two buildings had a good environment and were very desirable. As everyone wanted to be ced here dearly, the school relied on drawing lots to assign the rooms in these two units.
Fang Xinxin stayed in room 201 in D1, while Fang Manxue stayed next door in room 202.
However, the two of them rarely lived in the school dormitory.
Chapter 260: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 1)
Chapter 260: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 1)
Fang Xinxin entered her dorm room. On each side of the room, a study table was ced by the wall. Also, there were two bunk beds built with yellow wood.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s bed was located on the lower side of the left bunk bed. Her roommates included Weng Jingke, Sun Jiamu, and Wu Jiatong.
Weng Jingke had already dropped out of school and her bed was currently unused.
The other two roommates had yet to return.
Fang Xinxinid down on her bed and opened WeChat. Then, she patiently waited.
Often enough, Bai Qinghao would make video calls to talk to her.
Whatever Fang Manxue previously spoke about him ignoring her for more than ten days was false.
She missed Bai Qinghao terribly. However, his identity was special and he was often away for missions. It wasn¡¯t always convenient for her to call him.
If, by ident, she called him while he was in the midst of a dangerous operation and caused his location to be revealed, it would be a serious problem.
Thus, she was fearful of disturbing him and would only wait obediently for him to contact her.
Several days ago, he had called her at 6.10p.m.. Perhaps he would do the same today?
She looked at the time on her phone. It was three seconds away.
She silently counted down. Three, two, one...
As expected, she received a call notification from Bai Qinghao on WeChat.
Her ringtone onlysted for a second before she answered the call. She absorbed Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance on the phone greedily.
His cold, stern expression appeared exhausted, but his gaze was as spirited as every.
His skin had turned tan, but it was not unttering. Instead, it added to his mature, resilient charisma.
He seemed to be standing in a forest located in the mountains?
Fang Xinxin nced at the trees behind him. Those were... unique trees that could only be found in the border areas.
Why was he there? Since he did not mention it himself, Fang Xinxin would not ask.
Bai Qinghao stared at Fang Xinxin through the call. He smiled a little. ¡°You answered the call so quickly. Did you miss me that much?¡±
As if. She originally wanted to banter with him.
However, she took in his exhausted appearance. His eyes were bloodshot and it had likely been days since hest slept.
Furthermore, she could tell that his clothes were covered in grass and mud...
Despite his usual mysophobia, when he had to be sent out for missions, he did not mind the dirt.
It was only that he absolutely would not make things difficult for himself unless he needed to.
She watched him with heartache and nodded slightly. ¡°En.¡±
Bai Qinghao had thought that she would refute his words. He did not expect her to outrightly admit it. For a moment, he was dumbstruck.
Joy slowly spread through the depths of his frozen heart and melted the ice that had been there for years.
This time, he was setting up a hidden signal station in the borders. He had nned the operation carefully and even personally brought a team into the uninhabited, old forest in the mountains.
On one hand, he aimed to figure out the situation here. On the other hand, he was looking for a suitable location to set up the signal station.
In an uninhabited forest like this, there were leopards, swamps, and various types of snakes, worms and poisonous ants, etc.
The food he ate were all specially produced rations. The water he drank was obtained from the water sources that they foundst minute, or the dew water which was collected.
At night, he relied on the sky as a nket, and the ground as bed.
The environment was extremely harsh. At times, he had to face life-threatening dangers.
It had been days. His entire team was exhausted. After the long journey on foot, their feet were covered in blisters.
But he had no choice. Only the Bai family were suited to manage this matter. The signal station was meant to receive top secret matters. He needed to personally lead the team to set this up.
Chapter 261: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 2)
Chapter 261: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 2)
Furthermore, there had been a double agent in the team he led this time. Their whereabouts had been leaked and they met with an ambush midway.
The Bai family was powerful and wealthy, but they were always surrounded by danger, hidden or otherwise. Countless people targeted them in secret and sought Bai Qinghao¡¯s life.
The other party had been fast, prepared and well-trained. Every shot had been fired with the intention to kill. They had clearlye prepared!
Thankfully, he led a team of international top-ranking mercenaries. They fought back with all their might and sessfully eliminated all the attackers.
On his side, two bodyguards were seriously injured. He had arranged for a helicopter to take them back to the city for medical treatment. In the process, he had managed to find the identity of the double agent. Originally he nned to interrogate him to find out the identity of their enemy, but the man had killed himself first.
Bai Qinghao had continued leading his team on their original mission ¨C to check the situation here. He had given up on his original choice of location and decided to set the signal station up elsewhere.
In this area, they could not receive any signal until the station was built. Bai Qinghao led his team from the front and needed to constantly providemands. It was not suitable for him to separate from them.
Furthermore, there were also risks of meeting with an ambush if he moved alone.
However, he truly missed Fang Xinxin far too much.
He had checked the map and knew from previous records that there was an area on the mountain where signal could be received.
This was secretly arranged by the Bai family years ago. It had been meant for civilian use.
This time, he was involved in constructing a signal station that would be used by the government. In the future, it would be employed for receiving top-secret information. Thus, he needed to personally be here and could not leave it in someone else¡¯s hands.
He left instructions for the subsequent steps and confirmed the time he would take to return. Then, he brought two bodyguards and left irregr footsteps to travel twenty kilometres on the mountain. Finally, he arrived at the location.
They had covered uneven ground, passing through the ridges and mud. It was extremely effortful and was akin to running a hundred kilometres on even ground.
The two bodyguards he brought with him were his private bodyguards.
They apanied him wherever he went. Their only mission was to ensure his safety.
As Bai Qinghao took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s longing-filled gaze, he felt all his exhaustion and bitterness disappearing. ¡°You went to school?¡±
She was clearly in her school dormitory.
¡°I want to properly study now,¡± she responded with a smile.
¡°En,¡± the man responded lightly with his cold voice, but his deep feelings could not be concealed.
¡°Bai Qinghao... Show me your feet.¡± On the other end, Fang Xinxin suddenly made a request.
His handsomeplexion turned cold and his warm gaze abruptly returned to its frigid state. ¡°They are dirty. There¡¯s nothing for you to see.¡±
He refused her with a stern expression and assumed she would immediately let it go.
To his surprise, Fang Xinxin suddenly pouted and whined. ¡°Qinghao, be obedient. Show it to your baby!¡±
Bai Qinghao was once again dumbstruck. Was she being affectionate towards him?
A hint of sweetness slowly spread through his heart.
He noticed that his frozen heart had softened slightly.
Still, he could not agree to her request.
¡°No,¡± he refused her once more with the same stern expression.
On a certain dormitory bed in Jing Hua University, Fang Xinxin took in her fianc¨¦¡¯s stern expression. She suddenly winked at him. ¡°Handsome, just once?¡±
This time, he was expressionless and did not make any response.
Perhaps in their past life, Fang Xinxin would have been helpless against Bai Qinghao.
However, right now...
She stood up and held her phone as she walked towards the balcony. She turned the camera to show him the view. ¡°You won¡¯t show it to me? Then I¡¯ll jump down.¡±
Chapter 262: Feet Covered In Blisters
Chapter 262: Feet Covered In Blisters
¡°You dare!¡± Bai Qinghao abruptly raised his voice. His anxiety could not be concealed.
Fang Xinxin ced one foot on the balcony railing. ¡°Do you want to find out? CEO Bai, do you think that, just because I¡¯m on the second floor, I won¡¯t fall to my death?¡±
In fact, with her special powers, she would definitely be unharmed even if she fell from this height.
However, Bai Qinghao did not know of this.
¡°Don¡¯t be mischievous. You¡¯ll get hurt!¡± He frowned in worry.
He would rather suffer ten bullets than allow her toe to any harm.
¡°I¡¯m going to jump now...¡± She continued shifting forward.
¡°I¡¯ll show you!¡± A hint of helplessness appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face. She was the only person on this earth who could make him give in.
A pleased smile appeared on her lips. She nced outwards and noticed several students watching her curiously from the first floor.
She turned around and headed back into her room.
She took in the sight of Bai Qinghao¡¯s feet. He had taken off his shoes and his socks were actually soaked.
She considered his location and knew for certain that he had walked a lot on uneven ground. It was likely that his feet were covered in wounds and blisters, and they had stained his socks.
¡°Take off your socks too.¡± Her expression was stern.
Strangely, Bai Qinghao found her current firm attitude extremely heart-moving.
He held his phone with one hand and quickly tugged his socks aside with the other. The blisters had broken and the open wounds clung to his socks. His quick movement caused the skin to tear further as it clung onto the fabric.
Yet, he seemed to not feel any pain as his distant gaze remained fixed on her.
Time was limited and he wanted to take her in for as long as possible.
Her heart ached deeply. ¡°The reason you refused to show me was because you were worried my heart would ache, wasn¡¯t it? Silly...¡±
If anyone else had dared to use the word ¡®silly¡¯ on Bai Qinghao, they would surely have been shot to death.
Yet, when it came from her lips, he felt his heart bing afloat and nearly melting.
He had not been worried that she would be distressed. Rather, because of her background, he felt she would not befortable with such a sight and was scared about frightening her.
After all, she had once hated him. How could she possibly be worried about his condition.
He never expected her to look this upset about a few blisters.
For him, this wound barely counted for anything.
If he had known, he would have rubbed a few more blisters out.
¡°Are you injured anywhere else?¡± She continued asking in concern. ¡°Did you meet with any enemies?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine. I did, but it has already been settled.¡± He did not wish to say more about the ambush in case he caused her further worry.
¡°As long as you¡¯re fine.¡± She felt herself rxing slightly.
As long as he was doing well, even if he was not by her side, she felt content. ¡°Remember to apply some medicine. Don¡¯t let yourselfe to anymore harm, alright?¡±
His frozen heart had long be enveloped by her warm concern. He was willing to do anything for her. ¡°Alright.¡±
In this moment, he dearly wished that he owned a pair of wings and could fly to her side.
If he could set all of his responsibilities and duties aside, he would hold her tightly in his arms and never let go!
However, reality made it impossible.
¡°Boss, you¡¯ve already gone past the agreed ten minutes. We have to return to the team. Otherwise, there might be danger.¡± Liu Li appeared behind him and reported respectfully.
On the other end, Fang Xinxin heard this as well.
She did not expect that Bai Qinghao was taking risks for her sake.
She immediately said, ¡°Quickly tend to your wounds. Remember to stay safe ande back soon!¡± After saying this, she ended their call first.
Chapter 263: Who Won The Lots For The New Dormitory
Chapter 263: Who Won The Lots For The New Dormitory
On the other end, Bai Qinghao had been very reluctant to end the call.
However, his heart was deeply enveloped by her caring words. It slowly melted his frozen heart into liquid warmth...
In the dormitory, Fang Xinxin was simrly staring at her phone in a daze.
She missed him very much as well...
However, she could not cause any dy to his matters.
¡°Third sister, who were you talking to?¡± At this moment, Fang Manxue stepped into her dorm room.
¡°How is it rted to you?¡± Fang Xinxin was toozy to deal with her.
Lou Yuna followed in after Fang Manxue and reprimanded her unhappily. ¡°Look at you, what¡¯s with the attitude you¡¯re using in front of your second sister? Have you forgotten? Back then, you had failed to win the lot for this dorm room. The only reason you can stay here now is because your second sister offered her lot to you.¡±
At this moment, her roommates, Wu Jiatong and Sun Jiamu returned.
Wu Jiatong had feelings for Jiang Xingnan and Fang Xinxin had offended the person she admired. Thus, she naturally stood on Lou Yuna¡¯s side. ¡°Aiya, Fang Xinxin, you really don¡¯t know what gratitude is. Your second sister gave up such a good dorm room to you. You can¡¯t be so rude to her.¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered mockingly.
In her previous life, she was indeed deeply grateful to her second sister for her actions. It was to the point where she began toply with everything her second sister said.
However, in actuality, Fang Manxue did not win the lot.
Instead, Bai Qinghao had secretly arranged for Fang Xinxin to have this room.
It was only that she used to deeply hate Bai Qinghao and had focused all her feelings on Bai Chenxi. There was no way she would have epted anything from him.
Bai Qinghao knew this well and his perception was worsened by Fang Manxue¡¯s interference. Thus, he decided not to mind the process. He only wanted her to livefortably in school.
Thus, he allowed Fang Manxue to ¡®donate¡¯ her lot to Fang Xinxin.
Afterwards, on one particr day when Bai Qinghao came to the Fang home to visit her, she had found Bai Qinghao alone with Fang Manxue in the garden.
She clearly heard Fang Manxue saying to Bai Qinghao, ¡°Bai Qinghao, thank you so much for arranging room 202 in D2 for me.¡±
At the time, she had felt her heart turning cold.
She remembered hating Bai Qinghao for this. She was his fianc¨¦e, yet he did not help her when she failed to win the lot. Instead, he went off to help her second sister!
She had felt extremely disgusted. At the same time, she misunderstood that he had some feelings for Fang Manxue.
Furthermore, after Bai Qinghao left, Fang Manxue had also told her, ¡°Third sister, Bai Qinghao finds you ugly and fat. He has no intentions of marrying you. But I think there¡¯s no point in being angry with him. Bai Chenxi is the only person who won¡¯t be upset with your ugly appearance. I also did not expect that, after giving you my room 201, Bai Qinghao will arrange room 202 for me. I originally didn¡¯t n on telling you about it. I didn¡¯t want you to be upset. I didn¡¯t expect you to coincidentally hear us...¡±
At the time, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart had felt very bitter.
Prior to that, she actually did have some interest in Bai Qinghao.
But through this incident, Fang Manxue sessfully ruined it all.
It was only muchter, when she became half-paralysed, that Fang Manxue came to mock her. ¡°Do you remember years ago when we were picking lots for our dorm rooms? You weren¡¯t the only person who failed to draw the lot. I also failed. Room 201 was arranged by Bai Qinghao for you. The only reason I could stay in room 202 was because I went to beg Bai Qinghao and imed that I would be able to take better care of you this way. That was the only reason why I received such a treatment. Who asked you to always refuse his good intentions? Whenever he wanted to do something for you, he had to do it through me. Haha!¡±
The mocking words from back then still lingered by her ears. She would not allow Fang Manxue to milk this ¡®favour¡¯ again.
Chapter 264: Fang Xinxin Did Not Know Gratitude
Chapter 264: Fang Xinxin Did Not Know Gratitude
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze brushed past Lou Yuna and Wu Jiangtong. ¡°Who told you that Fang Manxue was the one who gave me this room?¡±
¡°Your second sister, ah.¡± Wu Jiatong responded. ¡°Even if she didn¡¯t tell us, isn¡¯t it clearly indicated on the school website?¡±
Lou Yuna also reprimanded her angrily. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you can¡¯t be shameless to the point of refusing to acknowledge the public results, can you?¡±
¡°The shameless one is Fang Manxue...¡± Fang Xinxin had yet to finish speaking when Fang Manxue put on a deeply upset expression and scolded her. ¡°Second sister, there are only two new buildings in school. The entire school has tens of thousands of students who are interested. The chances of winning this room are extremely low. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to obtain this lot. It¡¯s fine if you refuse to appreciate it, but why would you deny that it happened?¡±
She then pretended to be on the verge of tears.
As Fang Manxue¡¯s best friend, Lou Yuna was instantly enraged. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you really don¡¯t know how to be grateful!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Fang Xinxin, how could your character be so poor?¡± Wu Jiatong gave her a look of disdain. ¡°Since you don¡¯t appreciate this space, if you have the guts, why don¡¯t you just move out?¡±
¡°Wu Jiatong, since you don¡¯t understand the situation, I won¡¯t be petty with you.¡± Fang Xinxin gave Lou Yuna a pitying look.
¡°Fang Manxue lost Weng Jingke but she sessful obtained another retarded scapegoat like you. I suppose the situation isn¡¯t that bad.¡±
¡°Who did you just call a retarded scapegoat?¡± Lou Yuna was stifled with anger.
She was furious to the point of wanting to fight Fang Xinxin, but as she took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s fat figure, and recalled the way she had run to the school without bing breathless, she realised that Fang Xinxin was quite strong.
She was fearful of losing and decided to hold herself back.
¡°Back then, both Fang Manxue and I did not win the lots. The reason I am able to stay here now is because my fianc¨¦e arranged it for me.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumped coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve been fooled by Fang Manxue yet you continue to speak up for her. If you¡¯re not a retarded scapegoat, what could you be?¡±
¡°You...¡± Lou Yuna wanted to refute but paused to question her. ¡°Manxue didn¡¯t win the lot?¡±
Fang Manxue was gloomy, but felt that with Commander Bai¡¯s personality, there was no way he would bring such a small matter up to Fang Xinxin after helping her behind her back.
How did the dumb trashe to know if this?
Fang Manxue forced away the surprise in her expression and immediately said seriously, ¡°Yuna, don¡¯t listen to my third sister¡¯s nonsense. The results from the public lots are still disyed on the school website. My third sister is always like this. She enjoys taking advantage of others but refuses to show any gratitude.¡±
Lou Yuna immediately believed Fang Manxue¡¯s words. Fang Xinxin was toozy to listen to her fart and cut her off. ¡°The person who won room 201 is Zhu Xi, from ss one. She received the money from my fianc¨¦ and gave the room to my second sister, Fang Manxue. This is why on the public results, it seems to show that my second sister was the one who won the lot. In truth, Zhu Xi was supposed to directly give it to me. However, at the time, I was in the midst of a conflict with my fianc¨¦ and he was worried I would refuse to ept it. Thus, he decided to give it to me through my second sister¡¯s hands. In order to express my gratitude, I requested my fianc¨¦ to find another student to give up a lot next door for my second sister. My second sister is the one who has taken advantage of me, but is refusing to show any gratitude.¡±
Fang Manxue was astonished that Fang Xinxin knew the truth. However, her current room was what she obtained by begging Bai Qinghao. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re spouting nonsense!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Am I? All we have to do is give Zhu Xi a call. Or, should I instead call my fianc¨¦?¡±
Chapter 265: Clear The Air
Chapter 265: Clear The Air
¡°Of course your fianc¨¦ will speak for you.¡± Fang Manxue appeared to be especially fearless and open. ¡°As for Zhu Xi, go ahead and call her. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. There¡¯s nothing for me to fear.¡±
Zhu Xi belonged to ss One. Moreover, she stayed in the old dormitory which was rather far from here.
Fang Xinxin rarely came to school. Fang Manxue was certain that Fang Xinxin did not have her phone number. She responded in such a bold manner and assumed that she had already won, at least for now.
As forter, if Fang Xinxin really nned to look for Zhu Xi¡¯s phone number, she could bribe the person first.
From an outsider¡¯s perspective, Manxue¡¯s attitude seemed to clearly indicate that she had a clear conscience. A trusting expression immediately appeared on Lou Yuna and Wu Jiatong¡¯s faces.
¡°Second sister, I suppose when you¡¯re on death¡¯s door, nothing will frighten you.¡± Fang Xinxin understood Fang Manxue¡¯s methods very well.
This bitch was definitely assuming that she did not have Zhu Xi¡¯s phone number.
In the past, she indeed did not have it. But having gone through one life, she had made advanced preparations for many such eventualities.
She was about to give Zhu Xi a call when Sun Jiamu, who had been watching silently, spoke up. ¡°Zhu Xi, who is in Year 2, ss One, right? I have her number.¡±
She brought her phone out and dialled a number.
¡°Eh...¡± Fang Manxue did not expect a sudden ambush. Her face immediately flustered. ¡°Sun Jiamu, how is this rted to you?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you tell us to go ahead and ask her?¡± Sun Jiamu appeared confused as she watched her. ¡°Why are you unwilling now? Do you have a guilty conscience?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not expect Sun Jiamu, who barely interacted with her, to help her.
Although she already had Zhu Xi¡¯s phone number, this was the first person in the entire school to offer her kindness. She was quite moved.
She also felt grateful.
It turned out that not everybody in this school hated her.
¡°Who is guilty?¡± Fang Manxue noticed that Zhu Xi had picked up the call. She lowered her voice. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to talk about this with you all any longer. I have other matters to handle. I¡¯m leaving first.¡±
She tried to leave the room but was easily hauled back by Fang Xinxin. ¡°Second sister, you fucking appeared with a bomb all of a sudden. The smoke hasn¡¯t even faded and you¡¯re trying to leave. No matter how urgent the matter is, I¡¯m sure you can spare a few minutes.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it? If you don¡¯t have a guilty conscience, let¡¯s straighten out the facts before you leave.¡± Sun Jiamu also stood in front of the door.
¡°Manxue, I believe in you.¡± Lou Yuna¡¯s expression was determined. ¡°Let¡¯s clear the air and p your third sister¡¯s ugly face once and for all!¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s escape was a failure. She bit her bottom lip silently.
¡°Hello, is this Jiamu?¡± Zhu Xi¡¯s voice could be heard from Sun Jiamu¡¯s phone.
Fang Xinxin received the phone from her and switched it to speaker mode.
She said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Sun Jiamu¡¯s roommate, Fang Xinxin. I have something to ask you.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, ah...¡± Upon hearing her name, the other party immediately responded. ¡°Aiyo, Fang Xinxin, the D1 room 201 you¡¯re living in right now actually belonged to me. Your fianc¨¦ sent someone to give me money and originally instructed me to directly pass the winning lot over to you. But he was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t ept it, so he handed it over to your second sister to give it to you. As a result, I have to live in this old, broken building. There isn¡¯t even a toilet in my dorm room. I have to use the public restroom. I can¡¯t believe I have to live like this for four years of my university life. Your room is so much different. It¡¯s clean and well furnished. I sure regret my decision, but who asked me to ept your fianc¨¦¡¯s money. Forget it, forget it. I was the one who did this to myself. All I can do is grumble about it a little. Do you need something from me?¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°I called you to ask about this, actually.¡±
Chapter 266: Quickly Beg Manxue For Forgiveness
Chapter 266: Quickly Beg Manxue For Forgiveness
¡°Oh.¡± Zhu Xi began to gossip on the other end. ¡°By the way, Fang Xinxin, your fianc¨¦ sure is secretive. I received his money but only got to meet his subordinate. It turns out that he is Ke Tianbao, the yboy of the city. Although Ke Tianbao is extremely wealthy, he is a big womanizer. You have to be careful...¡±
Sun Jiamu took the phone back from Fang Xinxin. ¡°Zhu Xi, we are quite busy over here. Let¡¯s talk another time.¡±
She then ended the call.
Zhu Xi¡¯s earlier words had been heard loud and clear by everyone present.
Wu Jiatong shot Fang Manxue a look of disdain. ¡°Fang Manxue, aren¡¯t you the goddess? Don¡¯t you feel any shame in lying to us so brazenly?¡±
¡°Who knows if Zhu Xi was bribed over by Fang Xinxin...¡± Fang Manxue continued to struggle against her defeat.
Sun Jiamu responded crisply. ¡°Very good. Fang Manxue, please don¡¯t insult Zhu Xi¡¯s character. She is ss One¡¯s leader. She never ever lies. Furthermore, back when Fang Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦ arranged for a man named Liu Li to pass the money to Zhu Xi and requested for her to give up her space, I was also present there. I¡¯m not close to Fang Xinxin and had no intentions of interfering with your matters. But I¡¯ve never seen someone lie sofortably and shamelessly the way you did.¡±
She paused for a moment and shook her head. ¡°To think that you are Fang Xinxin¡¯s blood rted sister. She is truly unlucky to have a sister like you!¡±
Fang Manxue knew that no one would believe her no matter how she tried to argue her way out of this. Her expression turned awkward and poor.
Lou Yuna eximed in disbelief. ¡°Manxue... I didn¡¯t expect you to lie!¡±
Fang Manxue could only minimize the issue. ¡°I was just making a joke. I didn¡¯t expect all of you to take it so seriously!¡±
Suddenly, Fang Xinxin spoke up for her. ¡°Everyone, my sister particrly enjoys ying the good person card after behaving like a prostitute. I seek your understanding on this.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes were zing with rage. Her eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. ¡°Who did you just call a prostitute?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s you, my dear second sister.¡±
Fang Manxue was angered to the point of wanting to p Fang Xinxin. However, Fang Xinxin was extremely fat. The other girls were also unwilling to help her. She would likely lose if she attempted to hit her. She could only grit her teeth in frustration. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you will regret insulting me like this!¡±
After leaving those words behind, she walked around Sun Jiamu, who was blocking the dorm room entrance, and charged away angrily.
Lou Yuna was Fang Manxue¡¯s good friend. Even if Fang Manxue was in the wrong, she still hoped to borrow their friendship to gain some benefits from Bai Qinghao. She warned her in a low voice. ¡°Manxue is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Now that you¡¯ve offended her, the three of you will surely have to face the consequences! Just think about Weng Jingke¡¯s state right now!¡±
She then pretended to charge away in anger, simrly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiamu and Wu Jiatong instantly turned pale.
Wu Jiatong red at Fang Xinxin in frustration. She was filled with resentment. ¡°Weng Jingke has dropped out of school. Her family owns a mid-range corporation, but that has also copsed. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have interfered in your business. So what if your second sister is a prostitute pretending to be a goddess? Who asked her to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e? She has the ability to do as she likes. You¡¯ve really set me up for trouble!¡±
She then turned to Sun Jiamu with a flustered expression. ¡°I¡¯m still alright. After all, I didn¡¯t speak up for Fang Xinxin earlier. But you... you directly tore her stage apart. If the Bai familyes to tear down your family...¡±
Sun Jiamu responded softly. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this anymore. It may not end up that way.¡±
¡°How could it be?¡± Wu Jiatong was extremely worried. ¡°I have hidden sources. The Weng family did not dare to offend the Bai family at all. The only reason they copsed is because Weng Jingke offended Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e and implicated her entire family. Think about it. If Bai Qinghao loves his fianc¨¦e so much, how could your Sun family possibly stay alive? Quickly go beg Fang Manxue for forgiveness. Perhaps, there is still an opportunity for you to turn this around.¡±
Chapter 267: Jiamu’s Life Trajectory
Chapter 267: Jiamu¡¯s Life Trajectory
¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Sun Jiamu refused.
¡°If you won¡¯t go, I¡¯ll go.¡± Wu Jiatong ran out of the dormitory calling after Fang Manxue to apologise to her.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted onto Sun Jiamu¡¯s apprehensive expression. She asked her in a careful tone. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that Bai Qinghao will target your family over the earlier matter?¡±
¡°Of course I am.¡± Sun Jiamu appeared slightly helpless. ¡°Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and influence is stronger than anyone else¡¯s. Who doesn¡¯t respect and fear him? There is no way of escaping the consequences of offending him.¡±
¡°Do you regret helping me?¡±
¡°No.¡± Sun Jiamu shook her head. ¡°Fang Manxue was clearly in the wrong here. I believe that Bai Qinghao is not an unreasonable person.¡±
¡°But I heard that Bai Qinghao dotes on his fianc¨¦e dearly. If he decides to be unreasonable...¡±
Sun Jiamu patted her on the shoulder andforted her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. If the Sun family really copses because of this, I can only me myself for not being strong enough. I won¡¯t me you, nor will I regret helping you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin was deeply moved.
She rarely visited school. Although Bai Qinghao had prepared this dorm room for her, it was only so that she would be able to restfortably in the afternoon.
She had rarely interacted with her roommate, Sun Jiamu, before.
From what she recalled, Sun Jiamu would soon meet a man named Feng Dongkai.
He had pursued her fervently and she agreed to be his girlfriend during her previous lifetime.
However, in the midst of her schooling, she became pregnant and for the sake of continuing her studies, she had decided to abort the child.
After graduation, she married into the Feng family. Feng Dongkai was physically abusive and beat her up daily. He had even caused her to suffer three miscarriages, and eventually, she was no longer able to conceive.
Sun Jiamu had wanted a divorce. However, the Feng family¡¯s elder was a powerful man in politics. He forcefully suppressed the matter and Sun Jiamu lost her mind due to Feng Dongkai¡¯s torture. Post that, she was locked up in a mental hospital while Feng Dongkai yed around with women everyday. He even found a mistress and had a child with her.
Afterwards, Sun Jiamu murdered Feng Dongkai and dismembered his body. She also wrote a letter, detailing her sufferings over the years. In that, she had mentioned that the Feng family was fearful that she would expose the matter of Feng Dongkai¡¯s mistress and illegitimate child, and had intentionally faked her mental illness to lock her up.
After uploading her letter onto Weibo, Sun Jiamu had gone ahead and taken her own life.
Fang Xinxin recalled that at the time, though she was already blind and could not read Sun Jiamu¡¯s post, the media ced a lot of attention on the matter and that¡¯s how she came to know of it.
She had wanted to read her final words. After all, they had once been roommates.
Thus, she had requested for someone to read it out loud to her.
¡°Fang Xinxin, what are you thinking about?¡± Sun Jiamu waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Fang Xinxin returned to the present. She felt sympathy swell up for Sun Jiamu but did not disy it on her face. ¡°I recalled some things of the past.¡±
¡°Look at your expression. They must be unhappy memories.¡± Sun Jiamu did not know her thoughts, but still showed kindness towards her. ¡°How about this? You can confide your unhappy thoughts to me. As long as I¡¯m able, I will definitely help you.¡±
She smiled. ¡°Thank you.¡±
Sun Jiamu watched her and abruptly suggested to her. ¡°It seems like you don¡¯t have many friends. I¡¯m also quite lonely. How about we be friends?¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded and agreed readily.
¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Sun Jiamu gave her a warm hug. ¡°You¡¯re my only friend now!¡±
Fang Xinxin was not used to being embraced by others. Although her body stiffened, she did not push her away. ¡°Your only friend?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I used to have another friend, but... we¡¯ve broken off our rtionship.¡±
Chapter 268: Examining The Hair
Chapter 268: Examining The Hair
Fang Xinxin was not an especially curious person. She did not pry about her past and only pursed her lips. ¡°I hope our friendship willst for a long time.¡±
¡°It will.¡± Sun Jiamu nodded with certainty. She approached her side of the table and poured herself a cup of water. ¡°I heard from my father that you came to look for me recently?¡±
Fang Xinxin sat on her bed to look at her. She had no intentions of hiding anything. ¡°Actually, I went there to look for your family¡¯s guest, Mr. Abott.¡±
Sun Jiamu finished drinking and ced the cup back on the table. She then approached her to grumble. ¡°It turns out that you weren¡¯t looking for me. I became quite happy about it though.¡±
The two chatted for a while and added each other on WeChat.
¡°It¡¯s 9.00p.m. in the evening. I¡¯m returning to the Fang home to sleep,¡± Fang Xinxin informed her before heading out of the dormitory.
Sun Jiamu immediately followed after her.
Fang Xinxin was confused. ¡°What are you up to?¡±
¡°It¡¯s 9.00p.m. in the evening. There aren¡¯t any public buses. I have a car. I¡¯ll drive you home.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart had turned numb due to loneliness a long time ago. But Sun Jiamu¡¯s concern gently warmed her up. ¡°No, if you do that, I¡¯ll worry about you when you return to school alone. I¡¯ll call a car by myself.¡±
She did not wait for the other party¡¯s response and quickly ran back.
She had just arrived on the first floor when she received a notification in her WeChat messenger from Sun Jiamu.
It was a notification for a transfer of one thousand five hundred dors.
[I heard... that you¡¯re having some trouble with money. Use this amount first. If it¡¯s not enough, feel free to ask me for more.]
Sun Jiamu had sent a voice message apanying the transfer.
Fang Xinxin was really touched.
Most probably, Sun Jiamu did not know that Fang Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e, or that she had been sessful recently. Sun Jiamu seemed to believe that she did not have much money and had decided to give her some.
After all, previously, when Jiang Xingnan mocked her for saving up the money for public transport, the word had spread throughout the entire school.
For students, one thousand five hundred dors was an extremelyrge sum.
Furthermore, ¡°Use this amount first...¡± clearly indicated that there was no need for her to return the money.
She knew that Sun Jiamu was the Sun Group¡¯sdy and was quite wealthy.
But she never expected Sun Jiamu to treat a new friend this well.
Fang Xinxin tapped on her phone and returned the sum. She then sent a voice message in response: [I have money. But I appreciate your feelings.]
To her surprise, the other party immediately sent the money back again.
[Is it too little? I can give you more. But you have to promise me not to request a ridiculous sum.]
Fang Xinxin returned the amount once more and smiled as she typed her response: [It¡¯s too much. Stop sending it to me. If I really need money, I¡¯ll definitely ask you.]
Sun Jiamu finally conceded and responded: [Good.]
Fang Xinxin had already called for a car through her mobile application. She boarded the car and returned to the Fang home.
Fang Manxue secretly followed her to the school entrance. When she saw that Fang Xinxin¡¯s car was headed in the direction of their home, she brought her phone out and made a call. ¡°Mom, Fang Xinxin must be going back to our home. I¡¯ll stay over in school tonight. Otherwise, she might notice that I¡¯m following her again, like she did on Qian Wan Shan.¡±
...
Indeed, Fang Xinxin¡¯s car was headed for the Fang home. When she arrived, both Long Shuhai and Fang Ln were on the first floor watching television.
They received her especially warmly and asked her a lot of questions as though they were very concerned about her.
However, Fang Xinxin¡¯s attitude was cold towards them. She did not give them much attention and headed back to the second floor.
As she walked down the hallway, she noticed the Fang helpers¡¯ eyes shifted to her every so often. They were clearly watching her.
She entered her room and locked the door.
Then, she activated her powers and concealed herself. She walked through the wall and headed for the third floor. She searched through Fang Ln¡¯s room and discovered that there was not even a single strand of hair on her bed or in the bathroom.
Chapter 269: Mother Was Not Even Afraid Of The Cemetery
Chapter 269: Mother Was Not Even Afraid Of The Cemetery
Then, she went to search for the same in Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue¡¯s rooms. The result was the same.
Normally, was it difficult to find the owner¡¯s hair in their room?
This was not Fang Xinxin¡¯s first time searching their rooms for traces of hair, saliva or blood.
Her goal was to conduct a DNA test and to rify their rtionship with her.
However, every attempt was futile.
Their rooms were thoroughly cleaned. Clearly, they were wary of her, weren¡¯t they?
The more wary they were, the more suspicious they looked.
Fang Xinxin smirked coldly. Did they think she would be helpless just because of this?
None of them knew of her special abilities.
She decided not to continue with her secret search. It was rather simple to directly obtain strands of their hair instead.
As she deliberated over it, she turned around and headed downstairs.
At this moment, her phone rang from her pocket. She was still in Fang Ln¡¯s room. She checked the caller¡¯s ID and noted that the call was from Fang Ln.
She switched her phone to silent mode and did not answer it.
She then quickly headed for the stairwell and noticed Fang Ln speaking to the Fang family¡¯s helper, Auntie Qiu.
¡°Where¡¯s Xinxin?¡± Fang Ln questioned her.
¡°She¡¯s in her room and hasn¡¯te out at all.¡± Auntie Qiu, who had been keeping tabs the entire time reported diligently.
Fang Ln approached one of the doors on the second floor and knocked on it. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Are you in there? Why didn¡¯t you answer mom¡¯s call?¡±
Fang Xinxin quickly headed down to the second floor and silently walked past Fang Ln¡¯s side.
Fang Ln abruptly sensed someone brushing past her. She turned around but did not see anyone. ¡°Auntie Qiu, were you behind me earlier?¡±
¡°No.¡± Auntie Qiu stood more than ten steps away from her. ¡°I¡¯ve been standing here the entire time. I didn¡¯t approach you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s strange. It feels as if someone was standing right next to me.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not expect Fang Ln to be this alert. To think that she would notice her even when she had concealed herselfpletely.
Thus, she stood in front of Fang Ln and blew softly against her neck.
Fang Ln immediately jerked in surprise. Her scalp tingled ufortably and she shrieked in fright. ¡°Ah!¡±
¡°Madam, what¡¯s wrong!¡± Auntie Qiu rushed over in concern.
¡°Someone blew against my neck...¡± Fang Ln¡¯splexion was pale.
Auntie Qiu searched her surroundings. ¡°I don¡¯t see anyone, ah.¡±
At this moment, a cool breeze came in through the windows. ¡°It¡¯s the wind, Madam. You must be too tired and hence, are feeling overly tense.¡±
¡°Maybe.¡± Fang Xinxin patted her chest in fright.
Fang Xinxin had been carefully watching Fang Ln¡¯s reaction. Her expression darkened.
She suddenly recalled a very old memory.
At the time, she had only been nine years old. In the middle of the night, her mom had driven her to a cemetery outside the city.
¡°Mom, why are we at a cemetery in the middle of the night?¡± She had been young at the time and did not understand the reason for this visit.
Her mom watched her with a loving gaze as she responded. ¡°Because your grandparents are buried here, ah. Mom misses them, so I brought you here to visit them.¡±
At the time, she had taken in the sight of the cemetery and held her mom¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°But it¡¯s so dark at night. It¡¯s scary...¡±
Her mother had knelt down to embrace her. ¡°Be good, Xinxin. Mom will protect you. You have to remember, there are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are, as long as we haven¡¯t done anything wrong, we have nothing to fear. Mom brought you here to build your courage. We¡¯ll leave after we burn some money for your grandparents.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Chapter 270: Real Or Fake Fang Lilan
Chapter 270: Real Or Fake Fang Ln
Fang Xinxin brought herself out of the memory. As she watched Fang Ln, who stood before her, her gaze gradually turned cold.
Her mother was a woman who remained fearless even when she visited a cemetery at midnight.
How could she possibly be frightened into screaming by something so small?
She was bing more and more certain of her conjecture. The middle-aged woman standing before her was not her mother!
She returned to her room and deactivated her powers. Then, she slowly opened her door. ¡°What are you shouting for?¡±
Fang Ln was still panicking when she saw her, but she managed to put on a concerned expression. ¡°Xinxin, mom called you earlier. Why didn¡¯t you pick up?¡±
¡°My phone is on silent mode. I didn¡¯t notice it.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s attitude was cold. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered me. Why are you so noisy in the middle of the night?¡±
Fang Ln embraced her with a pale expression. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault for not answering the phone. Mom was worried that something happened to you and became frightened.¡±
Fang Xinxin no longer felt the warmth in the hug which she used to experience when her mother held her during her childhood. All that was left was cold distance. ¡°Is that so? I thought you were frightened into peeing your pants at the sight of a ghost.¡±
¡°You child. How can you speak to your mother like this?¡± Fang Ln gave her a reprimanding look. ¡°Why would I be afraid of ghosts? Have you forgotten? In the past, I even took you to the cemetery at midnight.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin stiffened ever so slightly.
If this woman was not her mother, there was no way she would know of this! Was this person really her mother?
¡°Now that I recall it, I was really too stubborn at the time. I actually brought you to the cemetery in the middle of the night to build your courage.¡± A hint of self-criticism appeared in Fang Ln¡¯s gaze. ¡°I was in the wrong. You were only seven-eight years old at the time. I shouldn¡¯t have treated you like that.¡±
It wasn¡¯t clear if she had brought up the past coincidentally or intentionally.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned heavy.
¡°All right, Xinxin, rest early.¡± Fang Ln sighed again. ¡°As of now, our Fang family has lost a significant sum due to Bai Qinghao. We are no longer as we were in the past. We can¡¯t rely on the Bai family anymore. The Fang Group is your father¡¯s blood, sweat and tears. I can¡¯t allow it to copse so easily. No matter how difficult it is, your mom will make sure to keep thepany afloat.¡±
¡°Sister-inw, can we leave now?¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s voice could be heard from the first floor.
¡°I¡¯ming!¡± Fang Ln raised her voice to reply.
She then turned to speak gently to Fang Xinxin. ¡°I¡¯m going with your second uncle to thepany to work overtime. We¡¯ve been doing so for the past few days. This is all my fault. I relied on the Bai family too much in the past. I will definitely make sure to do well even by relying on myself. All right, be sure to rest early.¡±
She took a few steps but then suddenly turned back. ¡°Oh yes, tomorrow morning, don¡¯t leave for school early. Mom has something to do with you.¡±
Fang Xinxin took in her sudden change of attitude and deliberated over her possible schemes. ¡°If you need something, tell me about it now.¡±
Fang Ln watched Xinxin with loving eyes. ¡°Some things can only be done and not spoken.¡±
After responding vaguely, she turned to head downstairs.
Auntie Qiu stood by the side and said, ¡°Third Young Lady, Madam really cares for you a lot. She says that in the entire family, you are the one she loves the most. She only regrets using the wrong methods.¡±
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips in disbelief. ¡°Is that so?¡±
Before she turned eleven, she would have never suspected her parents¡¯ love for her.
But after experiencing a lifetime of betrayal from the Fang family, no matter how much Fang Ln argued or disyed concern, she would only perceive it as a hypocritical fabrication.
She would definitely tear off their masks someday!
¡°It¡¯s true...¡± Auntie Qiu wanted to say more, but Fang Xinxin had already shut her room¡¯s door.
Chapter 271: You Can Only Do, And Not Speak
Chapter 271: You Can Only Do, And Not Speak
Auntie Qiu hade to the Fang home eight years ago. She was on Fang Ln¡¯s side and was definitely not a good thing.
Auntie Qiu watched as the door shut in her face. She was enraged, but her expression was quickly reced by a kind and understanding one.
Fang Xinxin stood before the window and watched as Fang Ln and Long Shuhai drove out of the Fang home together.
Her expression was heavy. She brought out her phone and dialled a number. ¡°Chi Minzhe, send someone to watch Fang Ln and Long Shuhai. If the two of them are seen behaving suspiciously, take photos and send it over.¡±
¡°No problem,¡± a man responded cheerfully on the other end.
Chi Minzhe was the owner of a private investigator office.
She had contacted him several days ago.
In her previous life, even after she married into the Bai family, there were many women who had thoughts about Bai Qinghao.
Back then, she did consider spending the rest of her lifetime with Bai Qinghao. However, her own inferiority had made it nearly impossible.
She had secretly contracted a private investigation office to keep tabs on all the suspicious women around Bai Qinghao.
After several incidents, she learnt that Chi Minzhe had a good character. He was well-connected and his fee was also reasonable.
However, Chi Minzhe refused to take on any business rted to shady affairs.
He was unlike Hei Xiao, who paid no attention to the nature of the business requested. As long as they had agreed to do something, they would be ruthless with their methods. No matter how shady the affair was, it would not stop them.
To find the man who had stolen her phone and framed her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, she needed the people from Hei Xiao to help her.
As for simple matters like following someone, Chi Minzhe would suffice.
In this life, when it came to building connections, discussing businesses and starting her ownpany...
Fang Xinxin was making slow but steady progress.
She ced her phone back into her pocket and stood before her window to watch the ink-ck sky.
The stars and the moon were bright tonight. Ever so often, a few stars would glisten, causing the night to appear especially lonesome.
She wasn¡¯t sure if the view was causing her to feel lonely, or if she was missing Bai Qinghao.
She wondered if Bai Qinghao, the man she loved dearly, was simrly thinking about her?
He was far away on the border. But despite the distance between them, they both stood under the same sky.
She loved him. He was her longing.
No matter where he was, or how far away from her, she would silently await his return.
At this moment, on a particr patch of grass in the forest, Bai Qinghaoid on the grass with his eyes fixated on the night sky. Over time, he seemed to find Fang Xinxin¡¯s little face in the moon. Her brows, eyes, lips and nose...
His gaze was distant and heavy, and seemed to contain the entire universe. Unknowingly, that pair of eyes turned gentle...
On the nights where he could not return to her side, could she possibly know of his deep longing for her?
...
The next morning, after waking up, Fang Xinxin exercised for two hours as usual. She wanted to slim down as much as she could while Bai Qinghao was still away.
She recalled Fang Ln¡¯s words and did not head to the school. Instead, she waited in the living room on the first floor.
At around 7.30 in the morning, Fang Ln¡¯s car turned into their front yard. A few minutester, she entered the living room with a takeaway box in her hands. ¡°Xinxin, why are you up so early?¡±
¡°Last night, what was it you mentioned about something you can only do, but not say?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
¡°You¡¯ll know soon.¡± Fang Ln ced the takeaway box on the table. ¡°My good daughter, have some breakfast first. Mom personally went to queue for Xu Xiang Ji¡¯s osmanthus pancakes just for you. Their business is too good. I spent an entire hour queuing for it. Normally, I would never waste time queuing for such a thing. But what can I do? This happens to be our Xinxin¡¯s favourite food.¡±
Chapter 272: Lilan Took The Initiative To Conduct A DNA Test
Chapter 272: Ln Took The Initiative To Conduct A DNA Test
¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. You go ahead.¡±
¡°You child. Don¡¯t you know that your mom is restricted to only ten different types of deep fried food for the next few months? I can¡¯t eat this.¡± Fang Ln picked up a pancake with her chopsticks and lifted it to her lips. ¡°Here. Don¡¯t waste my good intentions.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled sweetly. Her tone was both yful and seemingly serious., ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ve poisoned the food.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s heavily powdered face changed slightly. She sighed and returned the pancake to the box. ¡°It seems like there are too many misunderstandings in our rtionship. Forget it!¡±
She then waved her hand towards the helper, Auntie Qiu. ¡°You can go ahead and have this.¡±
Auntie Qiu was frightened by this generous offering. ¡°Madam, I shouldn¡¯t...¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong about it. In any case, aside from Xinxin, none of us can eat this.¡±
¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± Auntie Qiu held the takeaway box and retreated.
Fang Ln tugged Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand and brought her to her car. ¡°Come with me.¡±
Fang Xinxin was not fearful of the schemes that she coulde up with. She followed her instructions and sat in the car.
Fang Ln drove the car through the crowded city area and arrived at a fork in the road in a residential area. ¡°Apany mom for a ride. Where should we go?¡±
¡°Whatever will do.¡±
¡°Suggest a direction.¡± Ln was insistent.
¡°Turn left.¡±
Fang Ln followed her suggestion and drove for around a hundred kilometres before parking the car at the entrance of a small-scale, government operated DNA analysis centre.
¡°Xinxin ah, I understand that due to my mistakes over the past few years, you¡¯ve...¡± A hint of bitterness appeared on Fang Ln¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯vee to suspect if I am truly your mother. When ites to some matters, no amount of argument will be more effective than straight action. Let¡¯s do a DNA test. When the results are out, everything will be rified.¡±
Fang Xinxin took in the sight of the DNA analysis centre and understood Fang Ln¡¯s intentions.
But she had never expected that Fang Ln would take the initiative to suggest a DNA test!
Could it be that she was truly her mother?
Fang Ln saw that she was silent and decided to continue. ¡°This DNA analysis centre is operated by the government. Moreover, you were the one who chose the direction in which we should travel. I followed the GPS to lead us to the nearest DNA analysis centre. I don¡¯t have much money now. I can¡¯t possibly have so many connections that I can buy over any small DNA analysis centre that wee to. In other words, if we go in for an analysis, the results will definitely be genuine and urate.¡±
Fang Xinxin was silent. She found this whole matter to be extremely strange.
Ln parked the car and alighted first. ¡°Since we¡¯re already here, there¡¯s no harm in doing an analysis.¡±
The two of them then entered the small-scale DNA analysis centre. After registering and paying the necessary fees, they had their blood drawn for the test.
An employee informed them that the results would be avable in seven days.
After leaving the DNA analysis centre, Fang Ln drove Fang Xinxin to school.
By then, it was already afternoon.
Fang Ln personally sent Fang Xinxin back to her dorm room.
Her roommate, Wu Jiatong, praised Fang Ln. ¡°Fang Xinxin, is this your mother? She looks so young and graceful!¡±
Her other roommate, Sun Jiamu, however, shot Fang Ln, a mocking look. ¡°Fang Xinxin is already a year 2 student. Director Fang, in the past, whenever you showed up, you would only visit Fang Manxue. What¡¯s the rare asion? To think that I would get to see you in Xinxin¡¯s dormitory? Has the sun risen from the west today?¡±
For the sake of building her rtionship with Fang Manxue, Wu Jiatong immediately raised her voice. ¡°Sun Jiamu, how could you speak that way? This is CEO Bai, Bai Qinghao¡¯s future mother-inw!¡±
Chapter 273: Xinxin Seduced Her Brother-in-law
Chapter 273: Xinxin Seduced Her Brother-inw
¡°So what?¡± Sun Jiamu harrumphed coldly. ¡°As long as it¡¯s someone who has treated Fang Xinxin poorly, I don¡¯t care whose mother-inw she is, I can¡¯t have any appreciation for her.¡±
Wu Jiatong reminded her severely. ¡°You... if these words reach CEO Bai, your life might end soon!¡±
Fang Ln gave Wu Jiatong a kind smile. ¡°Child, there¡¯s no need to harm the rtionship over your roommates because of me.¡±
Wu Jiatong immediately ttered her. ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re so kind. You¡¯re really graceful.¡±
Fang Ln then addressed Sun Jiamu. ¡°Littledy, you might have some misunderstandings about me. The reason I didn¡¯t visit Xinxin previously is because I was too busy with work. Ever since Xinxin¡¯s father copsed, the entire Fang family has been relying on me...¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you beg for more than a billion dors from Bai Qinghao?¡± Sun Jiamu was unmoved by her pitiful act.
This was because after she became Fang Xinxin¡¯s friend yesterday, she came to learn a lot about their Fang family from her.
This old woman, in all likelihood, wasn¡¯t even Xinxin¡¯s birth mother.
Beg...
When Fang Ln heard this word, she nearly exploded with anger.
She upheld some reputation in the business world. To think that an immature, useless young girl would dare use such a word to describe her!
She resisted the urge to lose her temper and asked Fang Xinxin softly. ¡°She is...¡±
¡°She¡¯s my friend, Sun Jiamu.¡±
¡°So you¡¯re Xinxin¡¯s friend.¡± Fang Ln immediately put on a benevolent smile. ¡°Our Xinxin don¡¯t have many friends. Jiamu ah, in the future, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of our Xinxin more.¡±
Sun Jiamu found her smile extremely fake. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to tell me that.¡±
Fang Ln brought a silver bank card out of her pocket and handed it to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, there are fifteen thousand dors in this card. Mom didn¡¯t do very well in the past. I¡¯ll do my best to make it up to you right now.¡±
¡°Wow, fifteen thousand dors!¡± Wu Jiatong was both envious and astonished.
She then shot Sun Jiamu a cold look. ¡°Can you still say that she doesn¡¯t treat Fang Xinxin well? Look, she easily gave her fifteen thousand dors.¡±
Before Sun Jiamu could respond, Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Director Fang, keep your hypocrisies away. Back then, you ¡®begged¡¯ for more than billion dors from Bai Qinghao but did not offer a single cent to me. You¡¯ve never contributed anything to my school fees and living expenses. Now that Bai Qinghao has taken his money back, do you think you can trick me with that small generosity and use me as an excuse to keep taking money from the Bai family?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, why do your words sound so strange?¡± Wu Jiatong was confused. ¡°Bai Qinghao is Fang Manxue¡¯s fianc¨¦. If your mom wishes to get financial support from the Bai family, she should be depending on Fang Manxue¡¯s name. Why would she depend on yours?¡±
¡°Mom! Why are you here? Don¡¯t you know that third sister...¡± Fang Manxue suddenly appeared by their dorm room entrance. ¡°Please hurry and leave.¡±
In a moment of carelessness, Fang Ln had drawn suspicion onto Fang Manxue¡¯s status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. She began to feel nervous. ¡°But...¡±
¡°Leave everything else to me. Please go ahead and return to your work.¡± Since Fang Manxue said so, Fang Ln took the bank card and hurried off.
Fang Manxue immediately tugged Wu Jiatong to the adjacent room, room 202.
God knows what Fang Manxue told her. When Wu Jiatong returned, the way she looked at Fang Xinxin had changed. Her gaze was filled with disdain. ¡°It turns out that you¡¯re someone like that!¡±
Fang Xinxin found her behaviour to be ridiculous. ¡°Someone like what?¡±
¡°Tsk.¡± Wu Jiatong could not be bothered to respond to her.
She was only a cheap woman who dreamt of seducing her future brother-inw.
Chapter 274: Sun Jiamu Stands Up For Xinxin
Chapter 274: Sun Jiamu Stands Up For Xinxin
It was no wonder Mother Fang would rely on her name to obtain financial support from Bai Qinghao.
However, a third party would always remain a third party. Bai Qinghao had taken back all of the financial support he previously gave them.
This indicated that he clearly was not taken with this cheap woman.
Sun Jiamuid on the bed on the top bunk and poked her head out. She stared at Fang Xinxin curiously. ¡°You haven¡¯t exined it yet. Why was your mom able to obtain financial support from Bai Qinghao by relying on you?¡±
Fang Xinxinid down with both her hands behind her head. ¡°If I say that I am Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, will you believe me?¡±
Sun Jiamu had yet to respond when Wu Jiatong began mocking her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it¡¯s time that you quit your wishful thinking! Haven¡¯t you taken a good look in the mirror? With your fat and ugly appearance, you could never be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e! Even the Bai family¡¯s helpers are more attractive than you!¡±
¡°And you...¡± Wu Jiatong turned harshly towards Sun Jiamu. ¡°Fang Xinxin has inappropriate designs on her second sister¡¯s fianc¨¦. It¡¯s best if you stay away from her!¡±
¡°Nonsense! Xinxin isn¡¯t someone like that!¡± Sun Jiamu was angered and in a fit of agitation, she slipped off the top bunk bed. ¡°Ah!¡±
She was falling head first. Just before she came into contact with the ground, Fang Xinxin quickly rolled off the bed and caught her.
Sun Jiamu barely avoided cracking her head open. Sheid in Fang Xinxin¡¯s embrace with a paleplexion. ¡°That frightened me to death.¡±
Fang Xinxin helped her stand properly before responding to Sun Jiamu. ¡°My second sister merely spouted some nonsense to Wu Jiatong. Why did you be so agitated?¡±
Although her tone was reprimanding, her expression was grateful.
¡°Thank you for saving my life.¡± Sun Jiamu patted her on the shoulder and turned to argue with Wu Jiatong. ¡°What did you just say about inappropriate designs?¡±
¡°So what if I talked bad about Fang Xinxin?¡± Wu Jiatong ced her hands on her waist and appeared to be on the verge of losing her temper. ¡°Sun Jiamu, let me tell you, you offended Fang Manxue yesterday and Bai Qinghao nearly tore your Sun family apart. If I didn¡¯t beg Fang Manxue on your behalf, would you be able to stand here right now?¡±
¡°Tsk, who needs you to beg on my behalf!¡± Sun Jiamu pointed at her. ¡°If you dare to speak poorly about Fang Xinxin again, I will tear your mouth out!¡±
Wu Jiatong was considered to be a respected member in her ss. She even had several followers.
She had long grown used to being arrogant.
How could she possibly tolerate such an attitude against herself. ¡°It looks like you¡¯re looking for death. In that case, I¡¯ll grant your wish!¡±
The two of them started a physical fight.
Sun Jiamu was thedy of a wealthy family. She had never been in a fight. She was doomed!
The students nearby heard themotion and rushed over to watch.
Lou Yuna made spitting noises. ¡°Wah, Sun Jiamu has gone insane. She actually dared to provoke the ¡®elder sister¡¯ of our ss. She is doomed...¡±
Fang Manxue also stood outside to watch the show.
Sun Jiamu had constantly been supporting Fang Xinxin. She had long hoped for her to be in trouble. It would be best if she was beaten to death today!
¡°Jiamu is in trouble...¡± Several other students outside wanted to help but did not dare to provoke Wu Jiatong.
Wu Jiatong grabbed onto Sun Jiamu¡¯s hair. She wanted to m her knee into her abdomen, but to her surprise, her feet stumbled and she staggered forward. Her chin then mmed against the door. The impact caused her to immediately lose a tooth.
¡°Ah, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Wu Jiatong shrieked in pain. She spun around and red hatefully at Sun Jiamu before charging at her as though she had gone insane.
Sun Jiamu was dumbstruck by her reaction and stood dazedly.
Chapter 275: Xinxin Did Not Help
Chapter 275: Xinxin Did Not Help
Just as everyone assumed that Sun Jiamu was doomed, the ceiling lights in the dorm room suddenly fell and crashed against Wu Jiatong¡¯s head.
Wu Jiatong¡¯s head immediately began bleeding heavily and she copsed on the ground.
The esction of the situation left everyone dumbstruck.
Fang Manxue pointed at Sun Jiamu and said, ¡°You... you killed someone!¡±
Fang Xinxin red at Fang Manxue. ¡°Second sister, please watch your dirty mouth. I can sue for you ndering someone to be a murderer! Let¡¯s not argue whether Wu Jiatong is still alive or not. Even if she is dead, it would only be because she is unlucky and karma got to her!¡±
¡°We all saw that Wu Jiatong stumbled on her own! She was also smashed by the ceiling lights because she was unlucky!¡± The remaining female students did not help Fang Manxue but recounted what they saw truthfully.
¡°Sun Jiamu, you will definitely be punished by the school.¡± Fang Manxue continued to sow discord. ¡°Earlier, you stood up for Fang Xinxin but she didn¡¯t help you at all. You did so much for such a person. Is it worth it?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not wish to reveal that she had used her own powers to trip Wu Jiatong and to break the ceiling lights. She only said simply, ¡°Jiamu, I did help you.¡±
¡°Third sister, your ability to speak blindly isn¡¯t small.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was mocking. ¡°There are so many pairs of eyes here. Everyone saw that you were only watching from the sides.¡±
¡°Jiamu, it¡¯s best if you stay further away from Fang Xinxin. If Wu Jiatong is harmed, you will have to take responsibility. Let¡¯s see how the school will take care of you!¡± Lou Yuna threatened her. ¡°If you¡¯re lucky, you¡¯ll receive a demerit, but if you¡¯re unlucky, you¡¯ll be kicked out of the school! I think it¡¯s best if you beg Manxue now! Perhaps she could ask Bai Qinghao to save you.¡±
Fang Manxue lifted her chin arrogantly and waited for Sun Jiamu to beg her sorrowfully.
Sun Jiamu was unmoved. ¡°Earlier, when I fell from my bed, if Fang Xinxin did not save me, I may already be dead.¡± She then shot Xinxin a grateful look. ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. I¡¯ll always be on your side.¡±
Fang Xinxin was moved. She only responded simply. ¡°You will be fine.¡±
Someone called for a teacher who quickly arranged for the injured Wu Jiatong to be taken to the infirmary.
Wu Jiatong¡¯s injuries were not serious. After they were taken care of, both of them were called along to the discipline master¡¯s office.
When the two of them stepped out of the office, Wu Jiatong stomped away with an enraged expression.
Sun Jiamu saw that Fang Xinxin was waiting for her outside and approached her with an astonished expression. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re amazing. I¡¯m really fine! The head of teaching, Ma Yongting, only urged us to minimize the matter. He mentioned that Wu Jiatong is always fighting in school and has injured other students in the past. If she insists on pursuing this matter, all the previous matters will have to be dealt with as well. Wu Jiatong was afraid of being in trouble and could only give up.¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± The two of them then headed for their afternoon sses.
As they walked along the path outside, Sun Jiamu raised her confusion. ¡°Xinxin, this is so weird. The head, Ma Yongting, was clearly trying to help me. I don¡¯t understand why.¡±
¡°Two days ago, I went to Dihao Hotel for some business and coincidentally saw Head Ma there. He had brought along one of our school¡¯s female students to a private room. Earlier, I told him that if he does not help you, I will report everything I saw to his wife. He immediately agreed.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s jaw fell open in shock. ¡°Head Ma actually slept with one of the students in our school... he wouldn¡¯t have, would he?¡±
¡°Although Head Ma is in his forties, he has the charm of a matured man. It¡¯s normal that there are girls willing to do it with him.¡±
Sun Jiamu wink at her secretively. ¡°Who is that girl?¡±
Chapter 276: Escape My Wrath
Chapter 276: Escape My Wrath
¡°You definitely know her.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke slowly. ¡°Year 2, ss 1, Zhu Xi.¡±
¡°Oh... my... god!¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s mind copsed.
...
For the next few days, Fang Xinxin was the centre of attention in Jing Hua University. No matter where she went, all eyes were always fixed on her.
Countless people were discussing that she was both ugly and fat, a poor match for Ke Tianbao, etc.
Everyone felt that she had to thank Fang Manxue for this opportunity. Without a powerful future brother-inw like Bai Qinghao, she would never have be the Ke family¡¯s futuredy.
Most of them were waiting to watch how Brother Nan would punish her next. However, Brother Nan was also strange. Ever since thest time he failed to prank Fang Xinxin, he did not appear again.
On this day, Fang Xinxin headed to ss as per routine. She entered the ssroom with Sun Jiamu and saw that Jiang Xingnan was present in ss. He held a cup of coffee in his hands while Yu Liang massaged his shoulders. He seemed to be living extremely well!
All of the students were already in ss. They were the only onesing in.
Sun Jiamu tugged Fang Xinxin back and said nervously, ¡°Xin... Xinxin, Brother Nan is there.¡±
¡°What Brother Nan? He is just an immature child.¡± Fang Xinxin waspletely unmoved.
One of the students, Liu Xu, whispered to Jiang Xingnan. ¡°Brother Nan, look. Fang Xinxin does not respect you at all.¡±
Jiang Xingnan smiled coldly. ¡°She¡¯s tired of living.¡±
For the past few days, everyone who had been pitting themselves against Fang Xinxin had suffered consequences.
Thus, even though she was looking down on Brother Nan, no one dared to reprimand her publicly as they did in the past.
Sun Jiamu stood worriedly by the entrance. She stretched her neck forehead and scanned the ce carefully. ¡°Will there be any traps?¡±
If the same thing happened again: urine, snakes...
¡°Jiang Xingnan won¡¯t repeat the same schemes he used in the past.¡± Fang Xinxinfortably walked into the ssroom.
Sun Jiamu immediately followed and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her. ¡°If there are really any traps, I will face them together with you!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point of that, Sun Jiamu,¡± Jiang Xingnan kindly reminded her. ¡°This is between Fang Xinxin and I. It¡¯s best if you stay out of it. Otherwise, this young master won¡¯t be able to guarantee that you will remain unharmed. However, Fattie Fang did say something right. This young master will not repeat the same tricks twice.¡±
Fang Manxue appeared to speak up from the goodness of her heart. ¡°Sun Jiamu, it¡¯s best if you stay further away from Fang Xinxin... Brother Nan might be enjoying his coffee, but he is actually suppressing his anger.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, quit being a hypocrite!¡± Sun Jiamu waspletely unmoved. ¡°I bet that Xinxin¡¯s current situation in school was ¡®contributed¡¯ by you behind her back!¡±
¡°You have to take responsibility for your words.¡± Fang Manxue responded angrily. ¡°Everyone knows how I¡¯ve been helping my third sister...¡±
When she said this, she received a lot of suspicious looks.
This was because everyone had heard her speaking poorly about Fang Xinxin behind her back enough times.
Fang Manxue and Sun Jiamu returned to their own seats.
Jiang Xingnan lifted his coffee cup and took a sip gracefully. He then said coldly, ¡°Fang Xinxin, you better stay strong. Don¡¯t you dare lose the guts toe to school. If that happens, this young master will lose an amusing toy.¡±
Sun Jiamu shouted at him angrily. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, what exactly are you scheming!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have any schemes.¡± Jiang Xingnan waved his hand innocently. He then red at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fattie, did you think that byining to my parents and forcing me into house arrest for a few days, you¡¯ll be able to escape my wrath?¡±
Chapter 277: Deliver A Snake
Chapter 277: Deliver A Snake
¡°Look!¡± Fang Xinxinughed. ¡°This is everyone¡¯s so-called Brother Nan. It turns out he has been locked at home like a trapped animal, unable to leave the house.¡±
¡°You...¡± Jiang Xingnan mocked her back. ¡°Ugly fattie, this young master will not waste time arguing with you. You better not scream for helpter.¡±
When all the students heard him, they felt that Fang Xinxin was about to be doomed.
At this moment, a young man dressed in a uniform from a deliverypany knocked against the ssroom door. ¡°May I know who Fang Xinxin is?¡±
It wasmon for students to receive packages in ss. No one was surprised.
Someone pointed at Fang Xinxin, who was seated on thest row. ¡°There she is.¡±
The young man carried an unpackaged, fat doll towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Please receive this.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t order anything.¡±
¡°Someone ordered this for you. It was custom made. Please ept it.¡± The delivery worker shoved the doll into her arms and did not wait for her response before he turned to leave.
One of the girls in ss was curious. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that doll is so fat. There are also little dots on her face. It was basically made based on your appearance.¡±
¡°Who would make a custom doll based on your appearance? Is it your fianc¨¦, Ke Tianbao?¡±
Everyone discussed it heatedly among themselves.
All of a sudden, a thin, ink-ck head poked out of the doll¡¯s chest and then started to slither out of it.
Everyone discovered that there was a hole in the doll¡¯s chest.
¡°Ah, there¡¯s a snake in the doll!¡± The first student who saw it screamed.
Everyone immediately ran off to the sides and stayed far away from her.
Jiang Xingnan was buffing down his nails casually. He then blew the little fragments away. ¡°I already told you. This young master does not have any schemes. Fang Xinxin was the one who epted the delivery herself. I have so many witnesses. There are no schemes involved.¡±
¡°Jiang Xingnan, so you were the one who did this! When did Xinxin receive the package? The delivery man shoved the doll into her arms and ran away!¡± Sun Jiamu was pale with fright. ¡°You bad man! Quickly get rid of the snake!¡±
¡°Hahaha! How can the two words ¡®bad man¡¯ be sufficient to describe this young master?¡± Jiang Xingnanughed arrogantly. ¡°I gifted the snake to Fang Xinxin. How could I possibly take the gift back?¡±
He appeared as though he was not scared of the snake at all.
Just as everyone assumed Fang Xinxin would faint from fright, she stood up from her seat. She carried the doll and made her way through several tables to arrive before Jiang Xingnan.
Jiang Xingna¡¯splexion turned pale. ¡°What... what are you doing?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it just a snake? Did you think it would be able to frighten your grandmother?¡± Fang Xinxin waved the doll in front of him. Half of the snake¡¯s body had alreadye out. It dangled in the air and hissed.
¡°Take... take it away!¡± Jiang Xingnan stuttered. His earlier, graceful and arrogant appearance while drinking coffee hadpletely disappeared at this moment.
¡°Aiyo, look at Brother Nan¡¯s reaction. Are you afraid of snakes?¡± Fang Xinxin seemed to notice something. ¡°Since you were kind enough to not scheme against me, and openly admitted to gifting the snake to me, I will also not scheme against you.¡±
She brought a pair of gloves out from her pocket and put them on. She then plucked the snake out of the doll and brought it close to Jiang Xingnan. The snake immediately coiled it¡¯s long body around Jiang Xingnan¡¯s neck.
Chapter 278: Trapped By A Snake
Chapter 278: Trapped By A Snake
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s face immediately turned as white as a sheet of paper. ¡°Ah, snake, snake! Help! This young master is most afraid of this!¡±
However, aside from Fang Xinxin, the remainder of the students were frightened to death. How could theye to help him?
Jiang Xingnan grabbed the snake from around his neck and tried to tug it off. However, it only coiled tighter and even bit down on the back of his hand. ¡°Save me! Quickly... get it off...¡±
His follower, Yu Liang, was helpless. ¡°Brother... Brother Nan, I¡¯m also really afraid of snakes.¡±
Several of the students were in tears due to panic. ¡°Somebody, someone save Brother Nan! He is suffocating!¡±
¡°He asked for it.¡± Fang Xinxin crossed her arms and respondedfortably. ¡°I recognise this snake. It has featured twice in front of me already. Thest time it fell from a tree, it didn¡¯t hit me. But I never expected Jiang Xingnan to be so stubborn. He actually gifted it to me twice. It¡¯s a pity though, this youngdy does not enjoy epting his good intentions. It¡¯s best to return Young Master Jiang¡¯s things to him.¡±
¡°Ah... ah... save...¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s face turned red and then purple. It was clear that he was suffocating to death.
Sun Jiamu also panicked. ¡°Xinxin, what do we do? At this rate, he will die!¡±
Fang Xinxin sighed. ¡°It would be fine if this had happened behind the scenes. But he had to do it in front of the entire ss. Although I returned Brother Nan¡¯s gift, I didn¡¯t expect him to be this useless. He doesn¡¯t even have the ability to handle his own gift. I¡¯ll say this first. I¡¯m not afraid that Jiang Xingnan will die. I simply can¡¯t be bothered to be implicated over this matter for a bastard¡¯s life.¡±
She then reached into her bag for the giant pair of scissors she had prepared. She aimed it at the snake¡¯s neck and precisely cut it¡¯s head off. Its head tumbled onto the ground with a plop.
Although the headless snake did not immediately die, it slowly lost its strength. Jiang Xingnan grabbed it and tossed it away. It finally fell limply on the ground.
¡°Brother... Brother Nan, are you all right?¡± Yu Liang rushed forward to ask him.
Jiang Xingnan copsed back onto his seat with a pale expression. His legs were weak and his breath was hurried.
¡°Is there the need to ask this?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed. ¡°Your Brother Nan nearly became retarded.¡±
After saying this, she returned to her own seat.
Fang Manxue was genuinely dumbstruck. She did not expect Fang Xinxin to be fearless of snakes. She had nearly caused Brother Nan¡¯s death!
She gritted her teeth in anger but was helpless.
They were meant to have French ss right now. Dong Yuzhu, who had taken a leave for the past few days, entered the ss. Her stern voice could be suddenly heard. ¡°What is everyone gathered around for?¡±
All the students rushed back to their respective seats.
She noticed Jiang Xingnan¡¯s pale, sweat-covered appearance and approached him in concern. ¡°Xingnan, ah. Yourplexion seems poor. Are you ill?¡±
If he wasn¡¯t the principal¡¯s son, she would not be so ¡®thoughtful¡¯ towards him.
She stepped on a strange, long creature on the ground. It was still moving slightly. Dong Yuzhu lowered her head to look and immediately shrieked in fear. ¡°Snake!¡±
The headless snake was still struggling to remain alive. It weakly coiled around her feet.
Dong Yuzhu jumped away by several feet. Her expression changed significantly. ¡°How could there be a snake in ss? Who brought this here?¡±
Fang Manxue said apologetically, ¡°It¡¯s my third sister, Fang Xinxin¡¯s.¡±
Her words drew many looks of disdain from her ssmate. This was because it was not the actual truth.
Dong Yuzhu shouted at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you sure have guts. You actually brought a snake into the ssroom! If the snake had harmed anybody, the school would have sufficient reason to kick you out!¡±
Chapter 279: Double Standard
Chapter 279: Double Standard
In response to Teacher Dong¡¯s reprimand, Fang Xinxin blinkedzily. ¡°Aiya, oh no, I really did harm someone. Please take a look. There are bite marks on Jiang Xingnan¡¯s hand. It seems like he was bitten by the snake.¡±
¡°Very good. You¡¯re admitting to it, aren¡¯t you? The snake you brought in as a prank has caused harm to one student already. Let¡¯s see if any teachers will still speak up for you!¡± Dong Yuzhu gritted her teeth and threatened her.
She quickly brought out her phone to make a call. ¡°Hello, Teacher Ma? Fang Xinxin brought a snake to ss and hurt Xingnan. Pleasee over and settle this matter.¡±
Most of the students were watching Dong Yuzhu strangely. She was clearly biased against Fang Xinxin.
Even Jiang Xingnan couldn¡¯t help but speak up. ¡°Teacher Dong, you called Head Ma over so quickly. Aren¡¯t you being too hasty?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it all for the sake of obtaining justice for you?¡± Dong Yuzhu had a pained expression on her face. ¡°Xingnan, you¡¯re too kind. You¡¯re still trying to speak up for Fang Xinxin after you¡¯ve been bitten by a snake. Listen to me. Her behaviour is too vicious. If she dares to bring a snake to ss today, won¡¯t she be setting the ss on fire tomorrow? The school needs to deal with this firmly!¡±
Jiang Xingnan responded urgently. ¡°Teacher Dong, it¡¯s better not to...¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Dong Yuzhu had suffered a p from Fang Xinxin in the teacher¡¯s office previously. She even received a demerit and lost her opportunity to be an assistant professor.
She dearly wished that she could kill Fang Xinxin!
She had finally obtained a suitable excuse. There was no way she would let her off easily. ¡°We can¡¯t let this type of student go scot-free. We have to kick her out of school!¡±
After receiving the call, Head Ma rushed over to the ssroom. ¡°Teacher Dong, what on earth happened? Who are you trying to kick out of school again?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Fang Xinxin.¡± Dong Yuzhu wanted to exaggerate Fang Xinxin¡¯s mistakes but Jiang Xingnan rushed to speak up first. ¡°Head Ma, there¡¯s no need to trouble you here. This is all because I thought Fang Xinxin likes snakes. I took our rtionship as ssmates into ount and decided to buy her a snake as a gift. I didn¡¯t expect her to refuse the gift and return it to me.¡±
He held the wound on the back of his hand. ¡°In a moment of carelessness, I was bitten by the snake. Thankfully, the snake was not venomous.¡±
The snake was actually bought by Jiang Xingnan! When Dong Yuzhu heard this, her face nearly twisted from anger. She red harshly at Fang Manxue. ¡°Why did you say that it belonged to Fang Xinxin!¡±
In her rush to ruin Fang Xinxin, she had caused arge misunderstanding in front of the students.
¡°I... I¡¯m sorry. Teacher Dong, I didn¡¯t speak clearly.¡± Fang Manxue had hoped to destroy Fang Xinxin¡¯s image. She did not expect Dong Yuzhu to be so enraged?
¡°Hmph!¡± Dong Yuzhu had nowhere to vent her anger.
She was helpless over the fact that Fang Manxue was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Fang Manxue was not someone she could offend. Thus, she helped her to find an excuse. ¡°Forget it. You¡¯re a girl. The sight of the snake must have frightened you.¡±
She then turned to frown sternly at Jiang Xingnan. ¡°Xingan, you¡¯re far too careless. How could you have gifted a snake to a student?¡±
¡°I made a mistake in my choice of ¡®gift¡¯.¡± Jiang Xingnan responded calmly.
Dong Yuzhu patted his shoulder caringly and clearly did not intend to pursue this matter any further. ¡°We¡¯ve wasted everyone¡¯s time. It¡¯s time we begin ss.¡±
¡°Wait a moment.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up with a mocking expression on her face.
¡°Teacher Dong, earlier, when you thought I was the one who brought the snake to ss, you were clearly determined to fire me from school. You even urgently called Head Ma over. Why is it that, when the perpetrator turns out to be Jiang Xingnan, there¡¯s no need to fire him? Just because Jiang Xingnan is the principal¡¯s son, you¡¯re disying such obvious double standards?¡±
¡°Who has a double standard?¡± Dong Yuzhu argued.
¡°Jiang Xingnan gave you a gift with good intentions. We¡¯ll forget about the fact that you weren¡¯t appreciative, but you actually dared to nder my character! With the way you behave, it¡¯s no wonder that I heard you have thoughts about your own future brother-inw.¡±
Chapter 280: Future Brother-in-law
Chapter 280: Future Brother-inw
Although there were rumours going around recently that Fang Xinxin wanted to seduce Bai Qinghao, no one had dared to openly bring it up the way Teacher Dong did.
In the next moment, all the students¡¯ eyes were focused on Fang Xinxin.
They were extremely curious about the truth of the situation.
Sun Jiamu raised her voice. ¡°Nonsense, Xinxin isn¡¯t someone like that. Teacher Dong, you need to have evidence when you say such things! As a student, it¡¯s enough that you previously ndered Xinxin and imed that she is being kept by a man. To think that you¡¯re doing it twice. Do you have any morals?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have any morals?¡± Teacher Dong harrumphed and betrayed Fang Manxue without a second thought. Who told Fang Manxue to cause trouble for her?
¡°It would be fine if I had heard this from anyone else, but Fang Manxue was the one who told me this personally. If it isn¡¯t the truth, would she possibly nder her own sister?¡±
¡°Wah...¡± The students began discussing the issue among themselves with a vigor. Their looks of disdain were directed at Fang Xinxin this time.
Fang Manxue¡¯s face turned pale. She did not expect Teacher Dong to reveal the things openly that she had said to her in private.
If the truth were to ever be exposed...
Sun Jiamu stayed steady fast in her conviction. ¡°I believe in Fang Xinxin¡¯s innocence! Previously, I tried to hand her fifteen hundred dors, but she refused to ept it. It¡¯s clear that she is not a greedy person. With her character, how could she possibly seduce her own brother-inw?¡±
¡°Sun Jiamu.¡± Lou Yuna stood up to speak for her good friend, Fang Manxue. ¡°How could your thousand plus dorspete with CEO Bai¡¯s wealth and influence? You should know that even the money that slips out between the gaps of CEO Bai¡¯s fingers goes up to millions. I¡¯m not afraid of telling everyone. Previously, when Fang Manxue begged CEO Bai, he even gifted Fang Xinxin clothes worth up to millions. You really can¡¯t find another man as outstanding as him on earth.¡±
¡°Wow! Clothes worth up to millions!¡± All the students eximed in surprise and envy.
Wu Jiatong smiled mockingly. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that Fang Xinxin wishes to seduce her brother-inw. If I were in the same position, my heart may also be moved.¡±
A student by her sideughed. ¡°With the way you speak, aren¡¯t you afraid that Brother Nan won¡¯t like you?¡±
¡°Of course, my heart is only set on Brother Nan.¡± Wu Jiatong immediately shot a loving look towards Jiang Xingnan. However, the other party did not even turn to nce at her.
Fang Xinxin watched her ssmates¡¯ responses and responded calmly. ¡°Everyone, the rumours are nothing but rumours. I¡¯m not afraid of admitting to everyone that Fang Manxue has always been setting herself intentionally against me. None of the rumours she has spread about me are true. I, Fang Xinxin, have been engaged to my fianc¨¦ since young. Fang Manxue did not introduce my partner to me. I have also never thought of approaching someone else¡¯s fianc¨¦. In fact, I am...¡±
She was about to reveal her identity as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e when Dong Yuzhu cut her off. ¡°Well why don¡¯t you exin it? Why would Fang Manxue set herself up against you?¡±
¡°Because she is jealous of me.¡± Since young, her second sister had disdained her for having a wonderful fianc¨¦ like Bai Qinghao.
¡°Hahaha!¡± Following her words, the entire ss burst intoughter.
Even Jiang Xingnan could not hold his tears ofughter back. ¡°Fattie Fang, I¡¯m afraid you haven¡¯t taken a good look in the mirror. Although your sister isn¡¯t a world ss beauty, she is definitely still a beauty. Inparison, your appearance... is worlds apart from hers. Besides, even when wepare grades, she is the first in the entire ss, while you are thest. In every aspect, Fang Manxue is able to outperform you by miles.¡±
¡°In that case, it seems that no matter what I say, none of you will believe in it, right?¡± Fang Xinxin was not flustered.
Her ssmate, Liu Dan, responded with a shrug. ¡°We will only believe in what we see.¡±
Chapter 281: French Class
Chapter 281: French ss
¡°Very good.¡± Fang Xinxin also felt that, given her appearance, it was unlikely that anyone would take her to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
It seemed like she needed to wait for Bai Qinghao to rify it personally.
Otherwise, the more she insisted on it, the less people would believe her.
In fact, in her past life, when Bai Qinghao heard that Fang Manxue had pretended to be his fianc¨¦e, he had intended to rify the matter on her behalf.
Unfortunately, at the time, she had been stupid and stopped him. She even told him he was not allowed to provide any exnations, because she did not wish to be his fianc¨¦e!
At the time, Bai Qinghao had been thoroughly angered.
In her previous life, she had overly prioritised her so-called family, and neglected to notice that she had gradually been pushing herself into a dead end.
On every step of the way, Fang Manxue had arranged the pieces to ensure she could smoothly proceed forward. Yet, she never once exposed Fang Manxue for her lies. Even when she was married to Bai Qinghao, she was still known as the third party who had stolen her future brother-inw...
The e on her face was even more frightening than pockmarks. They were only just finally forming scabs.
After taking years of weight-gain inducing drugs, she was now dieting intensely. She weighed herself this morning and discovered that she had already lost thirty kilograms.
Her appearance had nearly been ruined, was fed weight-gain drugs to the point of losing her ability to conceive, and had even been ndered to this extent...
All of these resentments. How could they simply be resolved by exining that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e?
In her previous life, Fang Manxue had driven her to her death step by step.
In this life, she would simrly force Fang Manxue to her demise step by step!
¡°What¡¯s so good?¡± The person who asked this question was Student Liu Dan, who deeply admired Fang Manxue.
¡°All of you enjoy being held within Fang Manxue¡¯s palms, and to be controlled like little puppets. I¡¯m saying it¡¯s a very good thing, ah.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was innocent.
¡°So what if I like being controlled by her?¡± Liu Dan shifted his gaze onto his goddess, Manxue. He could not conceal the admiration on his youthful face.
If only her fianc¨¦e wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao.
He wished fervently that he had the opportunity to pursue her.
Head Ma Yongting, who had been listening by the side for a long time, spoke up sternly. ¡°Rumours are meaningless to the intelligent. I believe in Student Fang Xinxin¡¯s character.¡±
He had no choice but to speak up for Fang Xinxin, ah. If she exposed the matter of him sleeping with Student Zhu Xi...
He had no way of handling his wife¡¯s wrath.
¡°Head Ma, how could you speak up for Fang Xinxin?¡± Dong Yuzhu was stifled with anger.
Ma Yongting was a smart person. He could not offend Fang Xinxin nor could he offend the principal¡¯s son. Thus, he said, ¡°It is indeed unsuitable for Xingnan to use a snake as a gift. This cannot happen again. Lecturer Dong, please do not bring your private resentments against your students into your work. If there is an issue, rify the situation first. You should not demand to expel students all the time! All right, let¡¯s not dy the ss any longer.¡±
He then picked up the snake¡¯s corpse, along with its mutted head, and left the ssroom.
One of the female students praised him. ¡°Head Ma is quite cool. He actually took the dead snake with him.¡±
¡°Indeed. Most people would be afraid of touching corpses...¡±
Dong Yuzhu had failed to ruin Fang Xinxin, and was even criticised by Head Ma for bringing her private resentments into ss. She had lost her facepletely in front of everyone yet again. Her expression was dark as she began her lesson.
Jiang Xingnan sat back down to sip his coffee. He even crossed his legsfortably, disying the perfect image of a rich man¡¯s son.
If he had been someone else, the person would have been criticised badly.
But he was the principal¡¯s son. Lecturer Dong would only pretend as though she did not see anything.
After teaching in Chinese for half the lesson, Dong Yuzhu suddenly changed her approach and started speaking in French: ¡°Commencer ¨¤ enseigner le fran?ais.¡± [Let¡¯s begin the French ss.]
This way, Fang Xinxin, whose grades had always been poor, would not understand anything.
Dong Yuzhu turned on the projector and opened the powerpoint slides she had prepared on herptop beforehand. The slides were clearly disyed on the projector screen hung before the whiteboard.
Chapter 282: Ten Lifetimes
Chapter 282: Ten Lifetimes
¡°Student Fang Xinxin, please stand up and read the second paragraph on the screen. Say it out loud in French.¡± Dong Yuzhu instructed her, still speaking in French.
Based on Fang Xinxin¡¯s grades, her performance was poor to the point where she could not even understand basic French. How could she possibly manage to read the content in an intermediate level, business conversational French ss?
It was likely that only those, who had built a good vocabry of business rted French words, would be able to understand this.
Everyone knew that Fang Xinxin was a shoddy student. They were waiting for her to embarrass herself.
Fang Xinxin remained in her seat and did not react.
Fang Manxue spoke up in French. ¡°Teacher, you know that my third sister¡¯s grades are poor. How could she possibly read this? I¡¯m afraid that if you speak in French, she won¡¯t even realise that you were addressing her.¡±
¡°Fattie Fang, the ugly trash. She actually dared to return the snake to her old man. It¡¯s good that Lecturer Dong is tearing down her face right now.¡±Jiang Xingnan simrly responded in French. Everyone listening found both of them to be amazing.
Everyone in this ss primarily majored in fashion design and engineering, with a minor in French.
Although it was only a minor, by their second year, top students like Fang Manxue and Jiang Xingnan could already hold fluent conversations in French. Of course, when it came toplex, business rted conversations, their abilities were stillcking.
¡°Fang Xinxin is still in a daze.¡± For the sake of performing in front of his goddess, Fang Manxue, Liu Dan mocked. ¡°Lecturer Dong, Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t understand what you said earlier. What do you do?¡±
¡°I have no choice, ah. When ites to some students, no amount of teaching would be meaningful.¡± Dong Yuzhu began bootlicking once more. ¡°Jiang Xingnan and Fang Manxue are both so outstanding. Poor students like Fang Xinxin will likely struggle to catch up even if they had ten lifetimes.¡±
Fang Xinxin was currently recording the situation on her phone. As she had stacked several books on her desk and ced her phone leaning against it, the camera was not noticeable.
Sun Jiamu was in the midst of panicking. Unfortunately, her good friend was seated too far away.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin stood up slowly. She appeared to have understood something, ¡°Ah? It turns out that from my teacher¡¯s perspective, the poorer-performing students will never catch up to the better students even if they spend ten lifetimes studying.¡±
She said this in French. Then she went on to clearly reading the second paragraph disyed on the projector screen out loud.
Her pronunciation was urate and fluent.
It was clear that she had some ability.
Fang Manxue was immediately dumbstruck.
How could Fang Xinxin¡¯s French be that fluent? Didn¡¯t she only know a few words in French?
Jiang Xingnan was also surprised. The Fattie was not only able to pick up the snake with her hand, but also read the entire paragraph correctly. Clearly, he had underestimated her?
In the past, Dong Yuzhu had simrly directed questions at Fang Xinxin. However, the Fattie always appeared to be dumb. She did not even notice that she was being addressed.
Why were things different now?
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin did not study hard and had wasted four years of university education.
Afterwards, she discovered that, aside from being Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife and living under Bai Qinghao¡¯s shelter, she could not achieve anything on her own.
Someone once described her as the Bai family¡¯s parasite.
She had been deeply heartbroken.
She then used the pocket money Bai Qinghao gave her to hire various teachers. She studied her university content once more and even acquired knowledge rted to the business field.
It wasn¡¯t just French. She now knew more than eightnguages.
When it came to being a top student, if Fang Xinxin dared to im the second ce, no one would dare to im the first position anymore.
Unfortunately, currently, most people assumed that she was still as useless as she had been back then.
Dong Yuzhu quickly returned to herself. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you actually understand it?¡±
¡°Teacher, weren¡¯t you full of nonsense earlier?¡± Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°I¡¯ve already ovee Jiang Xingnan and Fang Manxue¡¯s standards. I¡¯m deeply sorry. I didn¡¯t spend ten lifetimes on it like you imed I had to.¡±
Chapter 283: Humiliation?
Chapter 283: Humiliation?
The entire interaction was carried out in French. After listening to her response, Fang Manxue was stifled with anger. ¡°Third sister, even if you have improved, you can¡¯t be this arrogant. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re iming to be better than me, but could you possibly be better than Brother Nan?¡±
She intentionally sowed discord between Fang Xinxin and Brother Nan.
In order to please his goddess, Liu Dan immediately chipped in. ¡°Fang Xinxin is being too conceited. You better watch out. You may end up being humiliated instead.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been suppressed by Fang Manxue and Jiang Xingnan every single day. The two of them don¡¯t even know what it¡¯s like to be humble.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mildly. ¡°Once in a while, it¡¯s only right for me to deliver a blow to their spirits, isn¡¯t it? Am I actually better than those two pig heads? Won¡¯t Lecturer Dong be able to give us an answer to that question?¡±
¡°Who did you just call a pig?¡± Jiang Xingnan was instantly enraged.
¡°Teacher will immediately let Fang Xinxin disgrace herself.¡± Dong Yuzhu jumped straight into making things difficult for her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, there¡¯s nothing outstanding about reading out loud from the book. Without good understanding, how will you be able to carry out business in French? Fang Manxue, Jiang Xingnan and you. All three of you will take turns. Whoever exins the matter best will be the victor.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s have Fang Manxue go first.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mildly. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯m too good. The two of them will only appear especiallyme if they attempt it after me.¡±
¡°Third sister, it¡¯s really impossible for me to save you any face!¡± Fang Manxue was pleased by her overbearing attitude. This way, it would feel even better when she tore her stage down. ¡°The passage projected on the screen is an example of a French informationpany¡¯s internal sales datasheet. It describes the importance ofmunicating and delivering quality information to its client...¡±
She exined it professionally in French and most of the students who barely understood it found her to be amazing.
Liu Dan immediately expressed his admiration with a look of idolisation on his besotted face. ¡°A goddess is indeed a goddess. Her standards aren¡¯t what a normal person could ever achieve!¡±
¡°With her standards alone...¡± Fang Xinxinughed. ¡°The teacher asked for a deeper exnation. All she did was paraphrase what she read on the projector. What¡¯s the point of it? She was unable to provide any exnation for her understanding on how to manage the disyed data. You¡¯re all a bunch of poor-performing, blind idiots.¡±
¡°You...¡± She was clearly insulting Liu Dan.
Jiang Xingnan spoke up right then. ¡°Although this young master dislikes Fang Xinxin a lot, this time, her words were not inurate. All Fang Manxue did was to paraphrase what she read. She¡¯s but an idiot who is pretending to understand when she really does not. How humiliating!¡±
Fang Manxue was exposed to becking in substance. She immediately became furious. ¡°This passage has never appeared in our textbook even once. The content was created by the teacher herself. Most people have never even used much business rted vocabry. I¡¯m already doing well by reading it out loud. Young Master Jiang, if you¡¯re that capable, why don¡¯t you give us a deeper understanding of it.¡±
¡°This French listed informationpany relies mainly on data marketing andwork marketing as its business strategy.¡± Jiang Xingnan waved his hand helplessly. ¡°As for the details of their strategy, I¡¯m able to describe it in Chinese, but doing so in French is currently still too difficult for this young master.¡±
Dong Yuzhu made a fair assessment. ¡°Although Jiang Xingnan has trouble describing the strategies, he did not paraphrase the way Fang Manxue did. In this assessment, he indeed performed better.¡±
¡°All right. It¡¯s my turn.¡± Fang Xinxin started mildly. ¡°In terms of data marketing, their focus is on umting data on the consumer¡¯s activity. Take for example, if thispany is analysing the data of an online fashion site, they would not only look at what the consumers typically purchase on the site, such as shoes, clothes, etc.¡±
Chapter 284: Winning Back A Round
Chapter 284: Winning Back A Round
¡°Instead, their staff would conduct a deeper analysis in the direction of their spending activities. Perhaps, they would be able to predict a hotel reservation, the purchase of a brand new car, etc in other markets? If they are able to make further rmendations at suitable timings, this would be able to achieve a breakthrough in the market...¡±
Her exnation was extremely professional and she delivered her entire speech in French.
The whole ss was dumbstruck. Admiration began to appear in many gazes. After all, the students in this ss had yet to arrive at such an advanced level of French.
Fang Xinxin only noticed their wide, fixated gazes after she finished. ¡°Uh... my dear ssmates, I¡¯m not a panda.¡±
What she meant was ¨C please don¡¯t keep staring at me.
Jiang Xingnan reacted first. ¡°Fuck! Are you Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Does Young Master Jiang enjoy asking useless questions all the time?¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded him with an eyeroll.
Jiang Xingnan felt some admiration for her but did not disy it on his face. ¡°You were simply a little more professional. What¡¯s so great about it?¡±
Fang Manxue raised a question. ¡°Who knows if Fang Xinxin¡¯s use of French was correct. She may have blindly applied some words and bullied us for not being as good.¡±
¡°Whether or not her French was correct, won¡¯t we know if we asked Lecturer Dong?¡± It was Yu Liang who spoke up. ¡°Teacher Dong?¡±
Dong Yuzhu tried topose herself but her expression was extremely poor. She had wanted Fang Xinxin to embarrass herself. She had not expected her to end up showcasing her hidden ability instead. She responded unhappily. ¡°Her use of French was wrong.¡±
In fact, this was a careless response. She simply did not wish for Fang Xinxin to feel too pleased about herself.
She did not expect that this sentence would soon cause much trouble for herself.
Fang Xinxin smiled pleasantly. ¡°Please teach me then, Teacher Dong. Where did I go wrong?¡±
Dong Yuzhu pursed her lips without responding.
Fang Xinxin sneered for a moment. ¡°Teacher Dong, my use of French was not wrong. Is it that hard for you to admit that a poor-performing student has improved?¡±
She shifted her gaze onto Liu Dan. ¡°My apologies, Student Liu. If you wish to watch me getting humiliated, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re doomed to be disappointed.¡±
Coincidentally, the bell rang at that moment. Dong Yuzhu announced in Chinese with a heavy expression. ¡°We¡¯ll end the ss here!¡±
She left the ssroom with a dark expression on her face.
Whispers immediately filled the ssroom. Everyone resumed discussing what happened just now in Chinese.
Sun Jiamu rushed towards Fang Xinxin with a look of admiration. She eximed. ¡°Xinxin, I didn¡¯t know that your French was so good!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled and tapped on her phone. She uploaded the content that she recorded earlier onto the school forum.
Immediately, the forum was taken over by a wave of discussion.
[Wow! Fang Xinxin is battling Jiang Xingnan and Fang Manxue in French ss!]
[Who doesn¡¯t know that both Jiang Xingnan and Fang Manxue are star students. Fang Xinxin is terrible at studying. Does she have the right to challenge the two gods? She is seeking death. If she doesn¡¯t lose, I¡¯ll bow down to her!]
[I¡¯m going to sit down to watch how Fattie Fang will be stomped upon. If she doesn¡¯t lose, I¡¯ll drink urine...]
The video had only been posted for a few seconds before a bunch of students left thesements. They were all waiting to watch Fang Xinxin embarrass herself.
The forum thread had more than a hundredments under a minute.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s appearance was frightening and her reputation was poor to the point where she was ¡®extremely famous¡¯ in school. Recently, there was even a rumour that she was trying to seduce her future brother-inw.
Whenever there were scandals and posts rted to her, they would be popr in an instant.
Countless people finished watching the video and Fang Xinxin could feel their strange silence even through her phone screen.
After several seconds, the forum began flooding with newments once again.
[Jiang Xingnan and Fang Manxue, the two star students, actually lost to Fang Xinxin??? My god, how is that even possible!]
Chapter 285: See You In The Toilet
Chapter 285: See You In The Toilet
[But her use of French is really professional. That¡¯s amazing. I consulted a French expert who I know. Fang Xinxin didn¡¯t get a single word wrong! My French friend even said that she is basically a business elite!]
[Where¡¯s the person upstairs who was in a hurry to drink urine? This old man has already prepared a mountain of shit. It¡¯s fresh. I¡¯ll see you in the toilet.]
[I have a pot of urine fromst night. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony!]
All thementers who had looked down on Fang Xinxin earlier either fled silently or began editing theirments.
However, there were a lot of busybody students with quick hands. Before thosements could be edited, they quickly took screenshots of those nasty remarks. As a result, thementers after that could still ask them to fulfil their promises.
Sun Jiamu was also looking at the forum. She expressed her satisfaction with a sigh. ¡°Xinxin, the truth has been revealed. Everyone feels that your French is much more outstanding than Brother Nan¡¯s and Fang Manxue¡¯s. A lot of the students also feel that Lecturer Dong isn¡¯t professional enough. She couldn¡¯t even tell that you didn¡¯t make any mistakes during that entire time.¡±
The morements she read, the more excited she grew. ¡°Also, more and more people feel that Lecturer Dong is targeting you intentionally for revenge. They feel that she is being too narrow-minded. My pitiful Xinxin has been looked down on in school for so long. She¡¯s finally getting back at all these people!¡±
Fang Xinxin watched as Sun Jiamu grinned happily. She was sincerely happy for her.
She decided internally that if Sun Jiamu ever met with trouble in the future, she would definitely help her out.
She stood up and left the ssroom. ¡°It¡¯s lunch time. Let¡¯s head to the cafeteria.¡±
The two of them walked down a small path under the shade. The soft breeze carried a sweet scent of nature that refreshed their hearts.
Jiang Xingnan suddenly stepped forward and blocked Fang Xinxin¡¯s way with a dark expression on his face. He shouted. ¡°You damn Fattie, stop right there!¡±
¡°Smelly blind person, this queen can no longer be addressed as Fattie. Haven¡¯t you noticed?¡± Fang Xinxin brushed her hand through her smooth hair and showed off her figure. Her movements were unbelievably cool.
Jiang Xingnan sized her up in suspicion. ¡°It does seem like you¡¯ve lost a lot of weight...¡±
¡°Nonsense. I¡¯ve lost thirty kilograms already!¡± Fang Xinxin replied proudly. ¡°My weight has already dropped from 108 kilograms to 78 kilograms.¡±
¡°So what if you¡¯ve lost weight?¡± Jiang Xingnan harrumphed quickly.
He immediately began showing off his calction skills. ¡°It seems like your height is around 1.67 metres. The ideal weight for you is 59 kilograms. The current trend also dictates that the thinner you are, the more attractive you will be. You¡¯ll only be suitable for the eyes if you weigh no more than 50 kilograms. Hence, you¡¯re still more than twenty kilograms overweight. How much fat is that? Hahaha, by that logic, you¡¯re still a Fattie!¡±
Sun Jiamu was enraged. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, that¡¯s enough from you. If you were to gain a lot of weight one day, would you have the ability to lose thirty kilograms? Look at you, you barely even exercise! I bet you¡¯ll struggle to even lose five kilograms!¡±
Jiang Xingnan patted himself on the chest. ¡°This young master is fit enough to run around the entire earth three times over. Both my height and weight are perfect. If I were to gain a bit of fat or lose a bit of fat, in fact, if I were to lose even a single strand of hair, countless girls would be in tears!¡±
¡°Quit boasting.¡± Fang Xinxinmentedzily. ¡°The ugly ones always think themselves to be attractive.¡±
¡°Who did you just call ugly?¡± Jiang Xingan was angered. He hated it most when people imed that he was not handsome. He immediately shot back with an extremely disdainful look at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I advise you not to lose any more weight. Look at your face. What¡¯s the point in losing weight? This is a world where appearance is important. You don¡¯t have any attractive features to speak of. This young master will tell you honestly, even if you were at 45 kilograms, there still wouldn¡¯t be any men interested in you!¡±
Chapter 286: Attractive, Charming Fang Xinxin
Chapter 286: Attractive, Charming Fang Xinxin
Fang Xinxin smiled disarmingly. ¡°If I be beautiful in the future, will you kneel down to lick my shoes?¡±
Jiang Xingnan waved his hand in disbelief. ¡°Tsk! If you were to be beautiful, I won¡¯t just kneel down, I¡¯ll even take your surname!¡±
¡°Good boy.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°Fang Xingnan, this queen shall ept you as a son. The next time we meet, don¡¯t forget to address me as ¡®mother¡¯.¡±
¡°You...¡±
Jiang Xingnan was so angered that his head was nearly emitting smoke.
If this had been in the past, he would already have gone for the ugly trash¡¯s head.
But, right now...
As he red at her e covered face...
He was unwittingly drawn in by her gaze.
Her eyes appeared to be like stars in the sky. They were bright and sparkling, clear and slightly wet.
It was a strangely charming look.
As a result he... nearly could not look away.
It seemed like Fattie was notpletely useless. At the very least, her eyes were considerably attractive.
Spit, spit, spit!
When Jiang Xingnan became conscious of his own thoughts, he quickly spat in his heart.
He was someone with really high standards. He disdained everyone except the best women. How could he possibly find an ugly fattie like her even slightly attractive?
Yu Liang, who had followed behind him, tugged on his sleeves and whispered. ¡°Brother Nan, in the future, don¡¯t say that there aren¡¯t any men looking at Fang Xinxin. I... I¡¯ve secretly been watching her a lot recently.¡±
Jiang Xingnan stared at him in suspicion. ¡°You¡¯ve been staring at her for what?¡±
¡°I... I feel that she isn¡¯t that ugly. Furthermore, I think she¡¯s amazing for losing thirty kilograms in such a short time!¡± Yu Liang was worried that Fang Xinxin would hear him. His expression turned slightly shy.
But Fang Xinxin had already dragged Sun Jiamu with her to walk quite a distance. She did not hear him.
Jiang Xingnan also did not follow her. He smiled mockingly and asked. ¡°Yu Liang, it can¡¯t be that you like Fattie Fang, could it?¡±
¡°Yes...¡± Yu Liang, the despondent guy, admitted it. Ever since Fang Xinxin rescued him from the glue board... he had struggled to keep his mind off of her.
¡°Fuck!¡± Jiang Xingnan was angered. He raised his voice to scold him. ¡°Fang Xinxin is such a horrid looking girl. You actually like her. You¡¯repletely disgracing this young master!¡±
Yu Liang stared at Fang Xinxin¡¯s slightly chubby back view. His gaze seemed to be sparkling. ¡°I think she¡¯s actually quite charming.¡±
Jiang Xingnan pped the back of his head. ¡°Fuck, are your eyes blinded by shit?¡±
Fang Manxue, who had been observing them from afar for quite some time, approached with a curious expression on her face. ¡°Brother Nan, why didn¡¯t you set up any traps to ambush Fang Xinxin this time? Earlier, when you blocked her path, I assumed that you nned to attack her personally.¡±
¡°Why would this old man do anything to her?¡± Jiang Xingnan was confused.
¡°The snake almost strangled you to death because of her!¡± Fang Manxue disyed anger on beautiful face. She appeared upset at the injustice. ¡°What¡¯s worse is that during French ss, she actually threw both of our faces away. All our ssmates are now saying that we¡¯re beneath the fat and ugly woman! How are we supposed to ept this?¡±
If this had been in the past, upon hearing someone call Fang Xinxin an ugly and fat woman, he would surely have added onto the insults andughed for half a day.
For some reason, however, hearing it right now left his heart feeling strange.
He red at Fang Manxue with some anger. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether this old man wants to do anything to someone, or if I am arranging an ambush. If your French isn¡¯t as good as hers, you should go study harder! You hateful busybody!¡±
Hateful busybody... Fang Manxue could not believe he was describing her that way. Herplexion turned green. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. You better be respectful when you speak to me!¡±
¡°So what?¡± Jiang Xingnan smiled mockingly. ¡°Do you think this old man would be afraid of you?¡±
Chapter 287: Qinghao Arrives In School
Chapter 287: Qinghao Arrives In School
¡°Do you believe me when I say that I¡¯m going to ask Bai Qinghao to deal with you!¡±
Jiang Xingnan waspletely unfazed. ¡°If you have the ability, go ahead and do it!¡±
¡°You!¡± Fang Manxue swung her arm and stomped away in anger.
Yu Liang was slightly confused. ¡°Brother Nan, since you didn¡¯t want to do anything against Fang Xinxin, why did you block her way?¡±
¡°I...¡± Jiang Xingnan was speechless.
He also struggled to understand this. Why did he block Fang Xinxin¡¯s path without any good reason?
...
In the subsequent days, Jiang Xingnan appeared to have taken the wrong medicine. He repeatedly intercepted Fang Xinxin on her way and mocked her for being ugly.
At first, Fang Xinxin would retort back but gradually, she grew indifferent to his presence.
Yet, Jiang Xingnan did not seem to grow tired of this.
On this day, in the afternoon, Fang Xinxin hadid down in her dorm with her phone when Sun Jiamu, whose bunk bed was above her, suddenly spoke in excitement. ¡°Xinxin, let me tell you some good news. Lecturer Dong Yuzhu has been fired by the school! The reason is because she is too narrow-minded and her teaching standards are extremely poor. This is great! She won¡¯t be able to make things difficult for you in ss anymore.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Fang Xinxin was in the midst of working through the stock purchasing application on her phone. She had just converted all her stocks into hundreds of millions of dors.
She recalled from her past life that the stock market would soon undergo a long period of instability. The value of most stocks would soon reduce drastically.
Furthermore, she had not paid much attention to the stocks that would increase in value in the future.
Thus, it was the best decision to use that money to do business right now.
From above her, Sun Jiamu seemed to be talking to herself. Her tone was filled with questions. ¡°Hey, Xinxin, I feel that those aren¡¯t the only reasons Lecturer Dong was fired. Logically speaking, there¡¯s no way her fervent efforts to please the principal wouldn¡¯t have worked. At most, these issues would have given her more demerits. It doesn¡¯t make sense for her to have been fired. Furthermore, the school made this news public by posting it on their website. Normally, they won¡¯t announce it in this way...¡±
Fang Xinxin immediately understood that Bai Qinghao must have been involved in this incident.
Could it be that he was back?
She immediately opened her WeChat and sent him a message.
[Where are you?]
His response was also especially fast. The short few words conveyed inmanding tone. [In the city. Come and meet me!]
[Okay, send me your location. I¡¯ll be there immediately.]
Fang Xinxin did not wish to be stubborn. It had been days since shest saw him. She missed him dearly. Even if it was slightly embarrassing to take the initiative as a girl, she would ept it.
Bai Qinghao responded with his location.
Fang Xinxin stared at the red dot on the map.
She zoomed into the image and responded: [Are you messing with me? Your location shows as my dorm!]
¡°Jiamu, I¡¯m skipping ss in the afternoon. I have to leave for something.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up and tidied her clothes and hair. She was about to leave the dorm room when she heard the loud, propeller noise from outside.
From the sound of it, it was clearly the noise from a helicopter¡¯s propeller. Furthermore, it seemed toe from the roof?
¡°Quick, look! There¡¯s a helicopter in mid-air!¡± The entire building of female students rushed to open their windows and poke their heads out.
¡°The helicopter hasnded in the field ahead. The cabin door is open! Someone¡¯s alighting. Ahh, it¡¯s the country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°My god! Male Idol Bai is actually visiting our school! He is so handsome, so cool!¡±
The excited squeals from various female students could be heard endlessly. Countless girls and even boys were all running towards Bai Qinghao, hoping to approach him.
Bai Qinghao was dressed in a neat, sharp suit. His gaze was as sharp as knives and his pupils did not contain any warmth whatsoever. His jawline was chiselled and his facial features were perfect.
As his perfect figure walked through the field, his posture and footsteps filled the atmosphere with his charisma!
Ten bodyguards stood in two neat rows. They followed behind him expressionlessly.
Chapter 288: Looking for Manxue (Part 1)
Chapter 288: Looking for Manxue (Part 1)
His presence caused everyone to subconsciously back away. They did not dare to approach him out of fear.
¡°Bai Qinghao is truly unbelievably handsome!¡± Some of the girls were radiating light from their eyes. Their saliva was almost dripping out of their mouths. ¡°If I could be his woman, I¡¯m willing to do it even if I have to die tomorrow!¡±
¡°What tomorrow? As long as he is willing to give me one look, I am willing to die right now!¡±
One of the boys could not endure their nonsense any longer. He shot back. ¡°Don¡¯t be so full of yourself. If he really looks at you you...¡±
Arge group of young girls chased after Bai Qinghao from several metres away. They werepletely lovestruck.
Unfortunately, even though they were jogging, they were unable to keep up with Bai Qinghao¡¯s pace.
More students joined the crowd from the sides and this pushed them further behind.
The male student from earlier watched Bai Qinghao¡¯s fading back view. Hemented lightly. ¡°The truth of the matter is that, even if you¡¯re willing to die right now, Bai Qinghao will not offer you a single nce.¡±
¡°Tsk!¡± A group of female students spat in his face with disdain on her face. ¡°You¡¯re not even suited to hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes. What¡¯s the point of being jealous?¡±
That male student walked away bitterly.
In the D1 building, on the balcony of dorm room 201, Sun Jiamu waved towards Fang Xinxin, who hadid back down in her bed. ¡°Xinxin, quick. Quicklye and look! Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai is here!¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin responded softly in disbelief.
¡°Hey... Quicklye here ah, you.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was filled with excitement. ¡°CEO Bai isn¡¯t someone you can see whenever you wish to see him.¡±
¡°What do you think about him?¡±
¡°This sort of a man ispletely out of our reach. He is the god that usmoners cannot touch.¡± Sun Jiamu watched the crowd of men dressed in ck suits apanied by Bai Qinghao. ¡°Look, the moment he appears, the entire school is moved.¡±
She scanned the school¡¯s chat group on her phone. ¡°All of the students that are coincidentally away from school right now are all grumbling in the group. Everyone is afraid of missing the opportunity of catching a look at the country¡¯s male idol. They are all on the way back and praying that they won¡¯t miss him.¡±
Fang Xinxin watched as she praised Bai Qinghao endlessly. She asked carelessly. ¡°Do you like him?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know him. How am I supposed to know if I like him?¡± Sun Jiamu responded casually. ¡°I just enjoy watching the show. It¡¯s simr to the waymoners react when they see a famous idol. However, Bai Qinghao is the male idol of everyone¡¯s hearts in the entire country. Normal idols have no way ofpeting with him. He is such an outstanding man. There are countless women pursuing him. If I were to look for a partner, I would never look for someone like him. The pressure is too much.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. The pressure is really too much.¡± Fang Xinxin pursed her lips into a smile.
Because she loved him, in this life, she needed to be a woman who deserved to be by his side.
Sun Jiamu abruptly sighed. ¡°It¡¯s really a pity.¡±
¡°What¡¯s a pity?¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao is really unrivalled in his perfection. Yet, his fianc¨¦e is actually that vicious, two-faced sister of yours.¡± Sun Jiamu raised her phone and aimed her camera at Bai Qinghao, who was approaching their dorm building.
She had yet to click on the shutter when she kept her phone away in disinterest. ¡°No matter how oustanding a man is, if he is someone implicated with Fang Manxue, this old woman will find him despicable.¡±
Dorm room 202¡¯s balcony was only separated from theirs by a single thin wall. Lou Yuna¡¯s voice could immediately be heard from behind the wall. ¡°Sun Jiamu, do you have a death wish? You actually dared to say that Bai Qinghao is despicable!¡±
¡°How is it rted to you?¡± Sun Jiamu mocked her ruthlessly. ¡°If you have the ability, ask Bai Qinghao to sue me.¡±
Chapter 289: Looking for Manxue (Part 2)
Chapter 289: Looking for Manxue (Part 2)
¡°I¡¯m going right now. He is our Manxue¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Lou Yuna held Fang Manxue¡¯s hand tightly as they stood on the balcony. She spoke up in excitement. ¡°Manxue, quickly look! Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai, is actually headed for our dormitory building. He¡¯ll be here soon. He is definitely here to look for you!¡±
Wu Jiatong, who shared a dorm room with Fang Xinxin, immediately ran towards the next door room¡¯s balcony. She grabbed Fang Manxue¡¯s hand in agitation. ¡°My good Manxue, you have to say a few good words about me to Bai Qinghao, ah! My family¡¯s business has been struggling to pick up. As long as Bai Qinghao is willing to help us out, we¡¯ll be soaring in no time!¡±
¡°I¡¯m Qian Xiaohe. Goddess Manxue, do you still remember me?¡± Qian Xiaohe seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. ¡°You gave me an autograph thest time we met in the school¡¯s cafeteria. You even promised to ask Bai Qinghao to introduce a rich man¡¯s son to me...¡±
¡°Me too. Goddess Manxue, will you please give me another autograph...¡±
¡°I want one too!¡±
Arge crowd of girls charged into dorm room 202. They all held pieces of paper in their hands in anticipation.
Obtaining Bai Qinghao¡¯s future fianc¨¦e¡¯s autograph would not only bring them much honour, but also, when Fang Manxue eventually married into the Bai family, the autograph could
be worth a lot of money.
Sun Jiamu approached her own dorm room¡¯s entrance. The dorm room she shared with Fang Xinxin was very empty inparison.
As she took in the crowd of girls next door, she shook her head. ¡°A group of people without eyesight. What¡¯s the use of having the autograph of someone like Fang Manxue?¡±
Qian Xiaohe immediately jumped out. ¡°She¡¯s Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If you insult her, you¡¯re not giving CEO Bai any face!¡±
She intentionally spoke loudly. This was because she had noticed Bai Qinghao heading upstairs.
¡°Ahh! Bai Qinghao is almost here!¡± Arge group of girls squealed to Fang Manxue on the balcony.
Their gazes were filled with envy as they watched Fang Manxue. ¡°Goddess Manxue, you¡¯re really lucky to be CEO Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e!¡±
If this had been in the past, Fang Manxue would definitely be enjoying their idolising and envious gaze.
But, right now...
Her expression was slightly poor and pale. Her fists were also clenched tightly.
This was because she clearly understood that Bai Qinghao did note to visit her.
If he entered Fang Xinxin¡¯s roomter, her identity as his fake fianc¨¦e would be exposed!
She absolutely could not afford losing this face!
Hasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin, the pig head, always prevented Bai Qinghao from publicly announcing their rtionship?
If she ran to room 202 right now, she would still be able to ovee this trial.
At the thought of this, Fang Manxue, who was surrounded by arge crowd of girls in the corner of her balcony, shouted suddenly. ¡°Move aside, move aside!¡±
¡°Goddess Manxue, please give me an autograph...¡± A female student pushed a sheet of paper towards her.
¡°I don¡¯t have the mood to do that right now.¡± Fang Manxue pushed her way towards her dorm room¡¯s entrance. ¡°Everyone, please step aside!¡±
Since the goddess was speaking up, the group of fangirls could only shift to the side.
Fang Manxue then ran into room 201 before Bai Qinghao could approach the ce.
Lou Yuna scanned the crowd of girls in her dorm room. ¡°You guys are really too much. Why would you ask Manxue for her autograph right now? CEO Bai is here to see her. She doesn¡¯t have time for all of you.¡±
All of the girls immediately appeared embarrassed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see? The moment God Bai Qinghao appeared, the entire school was moved. We¡¯re just afraid that it¡¯ll be harder to ask for her autograph after this.¡±
Chapter 290: Actually Looking For Xinxin
Chapter 290: Actually Looking For Xinxin
Qian Xiaohe¡¯s eyes were sparkling as she watched Bai Qinghao walk down the hallway. She shouted in agitation. ¡°Ah! CEO Bai is walking over... He entered room 201?¡±
Lou Yuna did not find this strange. ¡°Although Manxue¡¯s room is 202, didn¡¯t she just enter room 201? CEO Bai must have seen her and followed her in.¡±
¡°I¡¯m so envious!¡± A group of girls eximed. ¡°Our idol Bai Qinghao came personally to visit Manxue. It seems like his feelings for Goddess Manxue are very deep!¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Lou Yuna was also filled with envy. ¡°Manxue has been engaged to Bai Qinghao since young...¡±
She was truly, unbelievably lucky to have been promised to such an outstanding man.
Ten bodyguards stood outside room 201 in two neat rows. Their solemn expressions made it impossible for anyone to approach the ce.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure was tall and outstanding. The moment he stepped into room 201, the temperature immediately fell drastically as though all the warmth had instantaneously disappeared.
When Sun Jiamu saw the man, her jaw nearly fell off from shock. ¡°C... CEO Bai, did you get the wrong room?¡±
With one look, she knew that he was the type of man who was wise and insightful. He couldn¡¯t have made such an amateur mistake, could he?
Her gaze shifted onto Fang Manxue. She suddenly understood that the cheap trash was here. It was no wonder Bai Qinghao woulde into room 201.
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was slightly poor. She bit her bottom lip in anger.
Bai Qinghao had indeede to look for Fang Xinxin, the ugly trash! She was so angry!
She nced at the bodyguards outside the door. Thankfully, Fang Xinxin, Sun Jiamu and her were the only people in the room. No one else dared toe in.
This way, the other students would not realise what was happening here.
It would be convenient to continue fooling them due to this reason.
Fang Xinxin sat on the lower bunk bed. When she saw Bai Qinghao, she immediately stood up in agitation.
His expression was cold and heavy. She took in his distinct brows, slightly pink and thin lips and the soft curve of his mouth. His skin tone had be much darker and his originally fair skin had turned slightly copperish.
However, thispletely did not affect his startling, good looks. Instead, it added to the charm of a mature man.
Combined with his impressive presence, he was truly handsome to the point where no one could take their eyes away from him!
Fang Xinxin had suspected that he would appear here since he sent her this location as his current one.
This man was tough with his words but his heart was all mush.
He had been overbearing and demanded that she go and look for him. But to her surprise, he made his way here.
She felt deeply moved...
She really loved him!
At this moment, Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes only contained Fang Xinxin. His cold gaze could barely control his agitation.
She had lost a lot of weight!
Her originally chubby face had also slimmed down.
Despite the e on her face and her still slightly overweight figure, to him, she was the perfect woman in the world.
His freezing gaze met her clear, sparkling one. It was akin to a thunder striking the ground. The instantaneous explosion of mes engulfed their souls. They could no longer contain others in their eyes!
All the longing he had been suppressing in the recent past seemed to erupt out like a tsunami.
The realisation hit him that he had longed for her much more desperately than he originally believed!
Fang Xinxin was about to run into his arms. However, he was one step ahead of her. He crushed her painfully in his arms, nearly moulding her into one being with him.
She leaned her little head against his chest and whispered his name. ¡°Bai Qinghao...¡±
Chapter 291: Xinxin Is Third Party?
Chapter 291: Xinxin Is Third Party?
Sun Jiamu was dumbstruck by this scene. Could it be that there was truly a hidden rtionship between Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao?
Looking at them, it was obviously the case.
However, she refused to believe that her good friend was someone who would do so.
Fang Manxue did not expect Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin to embrace the moment they met. Her eyes reddened with jealousy.
She took in Sun Jiamu¡¯s astonished expression. It was clear that she still did not know about Fang Xinxin being Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e.
She quickly began to plot in her heart. If this matter was exposedter, she needed to find an opportunity to seal Sun Jiamu¡¯s lips. As long as Sun Jiamu stayed silent on this matter, the other students would remain in the dark. No one would know that Fang Xinxin was the actual fianc¨¦e.
At the thought of this, she turned back and discovered that the group of students who had been in room 202 earlier were all crowding outside room 201. They were watching Bai Qinghao embrace Fang Xinxin with disbelief.
She had truly underestimated this group of girls¡¯ fondness for gossip.
What was worse was that the group of bodyguards only stopped the girls from entering. They did not stop them from watching!
But she did not know that it was Bai Qinghao who hadmanded them to do so earlier.
Lou Yuna saw that her good friend, Fang Manxue¡¯s, eyes had turned red from anger. She felt that no matter what, Manxue was Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e. Even if he was momentarily charmed by Fang Xinxin, the ugly third party, they were not connected by an engagement. She was certain that the person who upied his heart was still Fang Manxue.
Thus, for the sake of pleasing Fang Manxue, she spoke up in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you seduce your future brother-inw?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Fang Xinxin, won¡¯t you save some face for yourself...¡± The other girls tried to chime in. However, Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze immediately shifted onto them.
The impact was catastrophic and in an instant, the entire group of girls were terrified and turned mute.
Fang Manxue was nearly going insane from anger. Lou Yuna, the dumb bitch, she actually said such a thing at this time? Did she think it would please her?
She hadpletely destroyed her stage!
Bai Qinghao lifted his dark, well-crafted brows. His distant, frozen gaze seemed to hint at the iing storm. He gritted his teeth to ask them. ¡°Fang Xinxin is seducing her future brother-inw?¡±
The man¡¯s voice was nearly dripping icicles. It carried a frightening, oppressive aura.
None of the girls dared to respond.
Even Lou Yuna and the followers who had tried to speak up for Fang Manxue earlier began trembling from head to toe.
The dorm room waspletely silent. Everyone¡¯s fluttering breath could be heard clearly.
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her heart was pounding loudly. She was deeply frightened that Bai Qinghao would expose her with a single sentence.
At this moment, outside room 201, a drone was flying in mid-air. A small camera sat on the top of it and captured the situation in the room through the open window. It was providing live-broadcast to the school¡¯s forum.
All the students who had struggled to obtain a proper look at him, had their eyes glued onto their phone screens. They watched through the ¡®broadcast¡¯ as Fang Xinxin acted as the third party.
[Bai Qinghao, our idol, is unbelievably handsome. It¡¯s no wonder Fang Xinxin has thrown her own face aside to snatch her future brother-inw...]
[She¡¯s actually being the third party right in front of her second sister. She is truly shameless. Ugly people are indeed full of schemes!]
[Wait a moment everyone. Don¡¯t you see? Bai Qinghao usually hates touching women but he is actually hugging Fang Xinxin. She is being loved as the third party. If you offend her, you will be doomed...]
It was total chaos on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Thements were flooding in and since most of them were anonymous, no one held back on their words.
There was arge group of people trying to tter Bai Qinghao. All those who had called Fang Xinxin a third party were attacked mercilessly.
Chapter 292: Standing Up For Her(Part 1)
Chapter 292: Standing Up For Her(Part 1)
Fang Xinxin nced at the drone flying outside their window. She stepped back from Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace and brought her phone out. As expected, everything that was happening in their dorm room was being broadcasted on the school¡¯s online forum.
She scrolled through thousands ofments which were ndering her. As the ¡®third party¡¯, she was mentioned so many times on the forum that she had be the subject of the entire school¡¯s attention!
Clearly, she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e, yet she was being ndered in this manner. The anger was driving her mad.
If they did not rify this, she would feelpelled to jump off the building.
Bai Qinghao immediately began longing for her after she left his arms. However, he did not attempt to stop her.
His eyes were sharp and he quickly understood the situation after scanning her phone screen.
Furthermore, if the live-broadcast ¡®drone¡¯ had not been silently permitted by him, his bodyguards would already have shot it down.
Sun Jiamu also saw that the forums were flooded withments. She plucked up her courage and approached to tug on Fang Xinxin¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Xinxin, I think it¡¯s better if you...¡±
Stay further away from Bai Qinghao?
She nced at Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression and lost the courage that she had gathered to continue speaking. She was terrified of being killed where she stood!
Fang Xinxin took in Bai Qinghao¡¯s handsome and cold features. ¡°Bai Qinghao, could you...¡±
Tell everyone that I¡¯m your actual fianc¨¦e?
She really wanted him to exin.
Truly, if he would speak up just for a little, her title as the ¡®third party¡¯ would immediately be removed.
However, she recalled that in their past life, Bai Qinghao had once offered to do so. At the time, she had demanded he stay silent on the matter.
¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m telling you I don¡¯t need you to be a busybody! Who asked you to stand up for me? I would rather be a third party than to be known as your fianc¨¦e!¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one who told my second sister to announce to the world that you¡¯re her fianc¨¦e! If you want to me anyone, me me!¡±
Once, she had been mindless of her own image and raised her voice against him.
In fact, she did not request for Fang Manxue to act as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Instead, nshe had begged and requested countless times for her not to do so.
However, Fang Manxue continued acting as she pleased.
In their previous life, she had valued family far too much and was extremely insecure. She also had her heart set on Bai Chenxi. Thus, under Fang Manxue¡¯s earnest request, she had been foolish enough to protect her stupid sister in front of Bai Qinghao.
After all, Fang Manxue was older than her by a year. Since young, she had always been a star student. She even managed to enter Jing Hua University after only one round of entrance examination.
However, for the sake of ¡®caring¡¯ for her sister, Fang Manxue gave up her opportunity to enter Jing Hua University, She chose to stay back and repeat her final year in high school.
After her second sister, Fang Manxue, entered Jing Hua University again, she took the initiative to request that the teacher ce them in the same ss.
In their previous life, she had felt that she owed Fang Manxue too much.
But what was the actual truth?
Fang Xinxin sneered mockingly. She wasughing at herself for being foolish.
Still, regardless of it all, at the time she had rejected Bai Qinghao¡¯s attempt to help. She had even hurt him deeply.
And now...
She genuinely did not have the face to ask him to help again...
Fang Xinxin felt that it was the wrong time and she could only swallow her words back.
As she thought further about it, she felt that since she had returned to the past, her rtionship with Bai Qinghao had improved greatly. If he truly treasured her in his heart, even if she had once refused him, surely he would agree to helping her again, wouldn¡¯t he?
Bai Qinghao patiently waited for Fang Xinxin to ask him for help. To his surprise, after a moment, she fell silent.
Was she that unwilling for him to rify that she was his actual fianc¨¦e?
Chapter 293: Standing Up For Her(Part 2)
Chapter 293: Standing Up For Her(Part 2)
¡°Fang Xinxin, what were you trying to say earlier?¡± Bai Qinghao asked with a cold and heavy tone.
He was willing to let her act as she pleased when it came to other matters.
But not for this.
Fang Manxue knew Fang Xinxin was wanting to ask Bai Qinghao to rify the matters. But how could she possibly give her the chance?
Based on Bai Qinghao¡¯s attitude, there was a significant probability that he would even agree to it.
She rushed to intervene. ¡°Xinxin ah, look at you. Why are you standing there in a daze? Bai...¡± She could not continue with her usual way of addressing him. If their ssmates found out that she addressed him so distantly, she was certain that they would be suspicious.
¡°He¡¯s been here for so long. You should pour him a cup of water.¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared not to have heard anything. She sat back down on her bed in silence.
Her pride was extremely strong.
She was willing to coax him privately. But begging him to admit that she was his fianc¨¦e on live-broadcast?
Fuck!
It was a critical moment, yet she could not put her face down.
Bai Qinghao now knew about the entire school¡¯s perspective of her.
Since he was willing for her to continue being misunderstood, should she just... let things be?
Bai Qinghao raised his brows. As he took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s silent attitude, he felt gloomy.
Was it because she still had Bai Chenxi in her heart? At this critical moment, was she still trying to conceal their rtionship?
Bai Chenxi, that trash, he was not even suited to hold his shoes. What kind of eyesight did she have?
Fang Manxue was the only person on the verge of going insane. She was deeply afraid that Bai Qinghao would expose her and she would then be doomed.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned cold, heavy and finally enraged. He spun around and walked out of room 201. His bodyguards immediately followed behind him in two neat rows.
Fang Manxue watched as Bai Qinghao left. She almost could not believe her good luck.
He clearly knew that she was pretending to be his fianc¨¦e, yet he did not expose her. Could it be that...
He had grown tired of Fang Xinxin, the ugly and fat trash, and had actually developed feelings for her?
She suddenly found herself to be much closer to her goal of bing the actual Lady Bai.
Fang Xinxin also did not expect Bai Qinghao to leave without rifying anything!
She felt angry, frustrated... and disappointed.
He actually left her to be misunderstood by the entire school.
Ha...
In their past life, he had offered to stand up for her. However, she had rejected him. In some sense, she had no one but herself to me for her current circumstances, didn¡¯t she?
Should she return to her past life to give herself two tight ps?
Bai Qinghao stepped out of dorm building D1. When he saw that Fang Xinxin did not follow after him, his handsome features were absolutely livid. ¡°Inform the principal to gather all the teachers for a meeting. We are conducting an investigation on Jing Hua University. All the major mediapanies are to be present!¡±
¡°Understood.¡± One of the bodyguards immediately responded to his orders.
...
In room 202, Fang Manxue was once more surrounded by a group of admiring fangirls. ¡°Goddess Manxue, your future fianc¨¦e is so cool! He is so handsome!¡±
¡°It¡¯s too bad, though. He didn¡¯t say much to you...¡±
Fang Manxue was quite pleased. ¡°Qinghao is especially busy. I¡¯m already very content that he came all the way here to visit me.¡±
Bai Qinghao had visited but he did not expose her lies. From now onwards, she will be able to transition smoothly into being his actual fianc¨¦e.
No one will dare suspect that she is lying anymore.
¡°Third sister, you saw Bai Qinghao¡¯s attitude towards me.¡± Fang Manxue nced proudly at Fang Xinxin. ¡°I advise you to be wise. You should back down now. Otherwise, you¡¯ll only humiliate yourself further!¡±
Sun Jiamu responded in anger. ¡°Fang Manxue, that¡¯s enough from you!¡±
Fang Manxue was exuding her arrogance thoroughly. ¡°I know that your rtionship with Fang Xinxin is very good. But you¡¯re helping a third party who is currently being criticised by the entire world... Sun Jiamu, I don¡¯t expect you to speak up for justice, but I hope you¡¯ll at least disy some basic morals!¡±
Chapter 294: The Trouble Xinxin Stirred Up Herself
Chapter 294: The Trouble Xinxin Stirred Up Herself
¡°You...¡± Sun Jiamu was stifled with anger.
Fang Xinxin held Sun Jiamu¡¯s hand. ¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°No matter what the others say,¡± Sun Jiamu watched Fang Xinxin determinedly, ¡°I¡¯ll stand on your side.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you down,¡± Fang Xinxin promised her good friend.
Sun Jiamu watched Fang Xinxin with heartache.
How was she supposed to continue staying in this school?
Sigh.
Fang Xinxin, however, was not worried.
She shifted her sharp gaze onto Fang Manxue and responded mockingly. ¡°Second sister, as people, we should all know our limits. I¡¯ve never met someone as shameless as you!¡±
Fang Manxue instantly stiffened. She was deeply fearful that Fang Xinxin would say something to expose her.
Although Bai Qinghao had left, the drone was still flying in mid-air. The live-broadcast was still underway.
[Is this the performance of the original actress tearing down an extra... why isn¡¯t it interesting at all?]
[Fang Manxue is a genius goddess. She is also Bai Qinghao, the male idol¡¯s future wife. She is definitely someone with good character. How could she possibly respond with violence?]
[Goddess Manxue is really too kind. She must be worried about their sisterhood. Her fianc¨¦ was almost snatched away, yet she is still being polite to that third party...]
Comments continued flooding into the school forum. All of a sudden, everyone¡¯s heart seemed to be aching for Fang Manxue.
Fang Xinxin was simrly reading thements.
Very good.
She was being scolded for more than a thousand pages again.
Go on. Scold me as much as you like.
She considered the time that had passed. Bai Qinghao must be back at the school field by now.
If she allowed this misunderstanding to go on, she would no longer be able to stand tall in Jing Hua University.
But losing face in front of Bai Qinghao was worse than being spat on by the entire school.
Bai Qinghao, that man, he was far too cold. Although he was strong and powerful, at times, his emotional intelligence was trulycking.
What could she do about it? Besides her, he has never had any other partners.
She nced at the drone flying outside the balcony window.
It was about to capture the outrageous scene of her chasing after Bai Qinghao in the school field and begging him to rify their rtionship...
At this moment, she received two messages.
The first one came from the owner of the private investigation office, Chi Minzhe: [Miss Fang Xinxin, excuse my poor emotional intelligence. Could I confirm if you asked me to arrange this drone for you to be scolded by the entire school? May I know if people these days enjoy being mocked so much?]
[Fattie, rather than being Bai Qinghao¡¯s third party and having your reputationpletely ruined, why not be this young master¡¯s... first party.]
The second message came from an unknown number. Fang Xinxin had not saved this contact and did not know who he was.
However, from the tone of the message, it sounded simr to the idiot, Jiang Xingnan.
But...
What young master¡¯s first party?
Was he asking her to be his girlfriend? Jiang Xingnan hated her the most. He even called her the ugliest girl on earth. How could he possibly have asked him to be his girlfriend?
It was most likely a prank.
Fang Xinxin did not pay much attention to the second message.
As for the scoldings on the forum, Fang Xinxin had truly brought this upon herself.
As long as she was willing, she could have destroyed the drone with her abilities with little to no effort.
She had been criticised for being the third party secretly for days. Since they wanted to scold her that badly, she would grant them the opportunity to do it to their heart¡¯s desire!
It was only when the truth was revealed that these people would learn to feel guilty.
She would make sure to ascend even more rapidly than she had fallen down.
Chapter 295: Rushing Towards The Assembly Point
Chapter 295: Rushing Towards The Assembly Point
Of course, the taller Fang Manxue stood, the greater her fall would be.
Fang Xinxin had been mocked for being a third party for too long now. If she did not blow things out of proportion and conduct this live-broadcast, even if Bai Qinghao revealed that she was his fianc¨¦e in front of her ssmates, they would respond lightly with an ¡®oh¡¯ and move on.
If the scope of impact was too small, some might not even realise the truth.
But now... soon, there would be no one left in the dark.
Fang Xinxin stood up and patted off the non-existent dust on her clothes. She began running towards the field but she shouted internally. ¡°Bai Qinghao, wait for me! Earlier, the words I had left unfinished in the dorm room, this queen has found the right timing to say it!¡±
Lou Yuna said to Fang Manxue, ¡°Manxue, the drone outside sure is good. The entire school now knows about Fang Xinxin¡¯s shameless third party act.¡±
Fang Manxue also felt especially great. She was currently being praised to the heavens in the school forum. ¡°That¡¯s right. I wonder which kind of senior is doing this. They¡¯re helping Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e too much. I truly feel very grateful!¡±
¡°Brother Nan hates Fang Xinxin so much. It must have been him...¡± Lou Yuna guessed.
¡°Perhaps.¡± Fang Manxue watched as Fang Xinxin suddenly ran out of the dormitory. She was worried that Fang Xinxin would cause further trouble. Her expression changed and she rushed to run after her.
At this moment, the head of teaching, Ma Yongting¡¯s voice could be heard through the school¡¯s announcement system.
¡°Our school is deeply honoured to wee a visit from a great leader. All teachers and students are to gather at the assembly point immediately!¡±
The announcement reyed over and over again. Teachers and students rushed toward the field when they heard the broadcast.
This was because everyone knew that the ¡®great leader¡¯ was their country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao.
Everyone had been deeply upset about their failure to catch a nce of him. Finally, they had been given the opportunity!
The students were never this enthusiastic when it came to assemblies. Right now, they went running from every direction towards the assembly point.
When Fang Xinxin ran downstairs, she saw that Bai Qinghao did not head in the direction of the helicopter and immediately understood that he was the important ¡®leader¡¯ Head Ma had mentioned.
She suspected that no one was watching the live-broadcast any longer.
Since Bai Qinghao had yet to leave, she would wait till the assembly ended to broadcast the performance of her begging him to rify their rtionship.
Or perhaps...
She began to contemte a possibility. Suddenly, her lips curved up subconsciously.
When Fang Manxue heard the broadcast, she furrowed her well-groomed brows. She could not help but feel wary.
Gathering the entire school of teachers and students...
A sense of foreboding filled her. She immediately thought of escaping.
She had only taken a step when a bodyguard stood in her way. He said expressionlessly, ¡°Miss Fang Manxue, please head towards the assembly point!¡±
Fang Manxue gathered her courage to refuse. ¡°I¡¯m busy and won¡¯t be able to make it.¡±
She turned around to run in another direction only to be stopped by a different bodyguard. ¡°Will you walk on your own, or will you prefer us dragging you there?¡±
If she were dragged away, wouldn¡¯t she appear like a criminal? She could not afford to lose her face.
¡°I¡¯ll walk on my own!¡± Fang Manxue was left with no choice and could only head towards the assembly point under the bodyguards¡¯ attentive gaze.
The closer she approached, the more she became worried.
She brought her phone out and quickly sent Fang Ln a message. ¡°Mom, quickly give Fang Xinxin a call. Tell her you met with an ident and ask her to bring Bai Qinghao to the hospital to visit you.¡±
The only way to prevent things from taking a turn for the worse was to remove these two people from the situation.
Within fifteen minutes, the assembly ground was crowded with students. Everyone stood at attention, organised based on their year and ss.
Chapter 296: Warming Jing Hua University With Love(Part 1)
Chapter 296: Warming Jing Hua University With Love(Part 1)
In front of the students, a giant, red banner cloth obstructed their view.
They werepletely surrounded by countless cameramen and reporters holding on to their microphone.
As Bai Qinghao had arranged sufficient manpower to ensure control over the situation, a group of bodyguards stood in their designated positions to sternly control the crowd. Thus, despite the flood of media personnels, the situation was not chaotic.
Behind the red banner, employees were rushing to build thest-minute stage.
The foundation of the stage was made of steel frames. The workers ced wooden nks one after another on top of it. They then covered the surface with red carpet and added a projector screen in the background. Very quickly, the stage waspleted.
If it had been any other business or social event, they would take several days to build such arge-scale event space.
However, due to Bai Qinghao¡¯s unique identity, preparations were already made for the possibility of suchst-minute urrences. All they had to do was to use all of the prepared materials to build the podium.
By the time all the students were in attendance, thirty minutes had passed. Almost at the same time, the stage was fully formed.
The workers were extremely efficient and did not leave the students waiting for even a minute.
The red banner was gradually removed. Fourrge, glowing words were disyed on therge screen on-stage ¨C Warming Jing Hua University with Love.
Everyone only took a quick look at those words before they shifted their gaze onto Fang Manxue, who was standing on the stage.
Why was she on-stage?
Everyone was confused.
They considered that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s girl. There was some logic to her being there.
Fang Manxue was outstandingly beautiful, eloquent and kind. She was also themunications director in the student council. Whenever the school conducted events, there was a high probability that she would host the event.
Perhaps, she was actually the host of this assembly? But she didn¡¯t seem to be holding a microphone?
At this moment, Fang Manxue was extremely nervous. She felt the curious gaze from all of her fellow students and teachers. She then nced at the crowd of reporters beneath the stage. Her beautiful face was pale with anxiety and fear.
She did not wish to stand here but there were bodyguards standing on both sides of the stage. They were watching her.
The bodyguards had told her to stand at the centre of the stage and not to move. Otherwise, not only would she fail to escape, she would also be tied up and held down in front of everyone.
If that happened, she would only be humiliating herself further.
They also added that if she dared to pretend to lose consciousness, they would repeat what they did with Weng Jingke previously and conduct a live-stream of her eating shit.
Ever since the Weng family copsed overnight and Weng Jingke was expelled from school, Fang Manxue came to understand that the bodyguards did not fool around when carrying out Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders. They would abide by hismand to the absolute tee.
Under the pressure of power, she could only stand stiffly on stage.
Thankfully, she was someone who always paid attention to her appearance.
Today, she was dressed in a dress appropriate for the asion that enhanced her image as a gracefuldy. It was in a charming shade of pink and had a v-neck. It revealed a slight hint of cleavage and whenbined with her carefully applied make-up, she seemed to be a high-profile, wealthydy attending a ball. She absolutely did not lose any face.
She was standing in front of so many reporters. Rather than being made fun of, for her poor expression, it was better to maintain a graceful smile.
Perhaps, things were not as bad as she thought?
She kept praying in her heart. She hoped that her mother would quickly force Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin away...
The head of teaching, Ma Yongting, personally stepped onto the stage with a microphone. He first bowed to everyone before speaking cheerfully in perfect Chinese. ¡°A very good afternoon to all the teachers and students present. I am the Head of Teaching, Ma Yongting. I am honoured to be the host for an important figure¡¯s visit to our school.¡±
Chapter 297: Warming Jing Hua University With Love( Part 2)
Chapter 297: Warming Jing Hua University With Love( Part 2)
The principal, Jiang Yipo, along with various important professors in the school delivered their speech. They all expressed their warmest wee to the special guest.
This sort of boring, formality left everyone drowsy.
Several students brought their phones out and began scrolling through the forums again.
[I really don¡¯t want to hear these teachers going on and on and on... If it wasn¡¯t for Bai Qinghao, I would never have taken a fake medical leave to get here!¡±
[Why hasn¡¯t Fang Manxue released even a fart whilst standing there? Head Ma doesn¡¯t seem to want to pass her the microphone either. This is the first time Goddess Manxue doesn¡¯t seem to have the charm of a host on stage. She¡¯s just standing there like an idiot.]
[Goddess Manxue is going to be in the limelight soon. It sure is good to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I bet this entire assembly was conducted for her. She will surely be greatly honouredter!]
Comments flooded into the forums endlessly and the anticipation in the atmosphere seemed to grow. Most people were expressing their envy for Fang Manxue.
At the same time, Fang Xinxin stood with her year 2, ss 1 ssmates. She was watching the iing call from Fang Ln on her phone.
While other people could call her normally, she had specially made herself unavable to Fang Ln. The other party would only hear the words, ¡®the number you have dialled is currently unavable,¡¯ when she called in.
Despite this, Fang Ln refused to give up. She called over and over again before finally ceasing.
[Hello, is this Madam Fang Ln¡¯s daughter? This is XXX hospital. Madam Fang was involved in a car ident and is currently in aa. Could I trouble you to rush over? We urgently require someone to sign the papers on her behalf. It would be best if you brought more of her family members here.]
A message was sent to Fang Xinxin from Fang Ln¡¯s phone.
Fang Xinxin waspletely unmoved by it.
Earlier, she had noticed that Fang Manxue was sending a message before stepping on stage. She had likely been asking Fang Ln for help.
Her second sister was really intelligent. She must have guessed something after considering the situation.
If it had been in their past life, Fang Xinxin would have been easily swayed by Fang Ln¡¯s attempts by now.
But it hadn¡¯t been easy tolerating the wait. She was finally about to expose Fang Manxue for her false act. How could she possibly leave at this critical moment?
Furthermore...
Fang Manxue¡¯s phone did not ring at all. Fang Xinxin also did not see her checking her phone. This meant that Fang Manxue did not receive her mother¡¯s ¡®car ident¡¯ news.
If her memory served her right, in Fang Ln¡¯s phone, Fang Manxue¡¯s number was saved under the contact name as ¡®Daughter¡¯, while Fang Xinxin¡¯s number was saved as ¡®Xinxin¡¯.
Normally, strangers would call her daughter first, wouldn¡¯t they?
Furthermore, the message was filled with many loopholes.
¡°It would be best if you brought more of her family members here?¡± These words were clearly hinting her to bring Bai Qinghao along with her to the hospital.
If the message came from normal doctors and nurses of a hospital, why would they be concerned with the number of family members one was bringing along? If anything, they would be worried about extra people obstructing the hallways.
For the sake of helping her second sister, her mother was even making up news about having an ident.
Fang Manxue stood in the middle of the stage and saw that Fang Xinxin had yet to leave the ce. She was overwhelmed with panic. Didn¡¯t the dumb trash check her phone earlier? Could it be there she no longer cared about their mother¡¯s life and death? Or was it that her mother had yet to give Fang Xinxin a call?
After a long, thank-you speech, Head Ma finally said the words that all the students were waiting to hear. ¡°Our school forum is very lively today. There¡¯s no need for me to drag this out. I¡¯m sure everyone knows who we have been thanking and weing since earlier. He is the man who has moved the entire school, and has the power to move the entire city... Our country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao! Please wee him onto the stage!¡±
Chapter 298: Warming Jing Hua University With Love( Part 3)
Chapter 298: Warming Jing Hua University With Love( Part 3)
His words had barely finished when the students burst into loud apuse. Their excitement was reflected in their reddened palms.
Bai Qinghao stepped onto the stage in a neat, ck suit. His unhurried steps, sharp and unfathomable gaze, and perfect features left the entire school overwhelmed!
In a blink of an eye, every female student present had their souls stolen.
Even the male students had no choice but to respect and admire him.
¡°Bai Qinghao, Bai Qinghao, Bai Qinghao!¡± The loud chanting from the crowd conveyed their respect and admiration towards him. Most students were going hoarse from their screams.
All the media personnel present sighed in amazement at this sight.
They did not expect Bai Qinghao¡¯s influence to be this powerful even in a school setting. This was beyond what they had expected.
¡°Students, please quieten down! Will you all please settle down for a moment?¡± Ma Yongting held the microphone in his hands and repeated himself several times. The crowd remained deafeningly loud.
Bai Qinghao stood in front of three microphone stands positioned at the centre of the stage. He raised both his hands and indicated for everyone to be quiet. Without even opening his mouth, he left the entire school silent in an instant.
Ma Yongting felt ashamed internally. He had been the head of teaching in Jing Hua University for years. Still, it seemed like the students would not offer him the slightest respect inparison to Bai Qinghao.
¡°Good afternoon, everyone. I¡¯m Bai Qinghao.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was delivered to every students¡¯ ears through the microphone. ¡°Thank you for being present for our event ¨C Warming Jing Hua University With Love.¡±
His voice was heavy, sharp and husky. It carried it¡¯s own charm and left everyonepletely overwhelmed.
Even though he had only said a few simple statements, the students and teachers seemed to be drunk on his words.
¡°CEO Bai, Bai Qinghao, is so young, yet he has already be a global figure and is bringing pride and glory to our country. He is definitely our country¡¯s number one idol!¡± Ma Yongting then changed the topic. ¡°May I know if you have started a family?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡±
¡°I wonder, what sort of woman would be able to stand next to you?¡±
Bai Qinghao was expressionless, yet his lips seemed to rx into the slightest hint of smile. ¡°As everyone is aware, I have been engaged since young. My fianc¨¦e is a student here at Jing Hua University. She is also a popr figure in this ce. Today¡¯s event was conducted specially for her.¡±
A popr figure in Jing Hua University. Wasn¡¯t that Fang Manxue?
The students and teachers naturally assumed so. Thousands of pairs of eyes turned towards Fang Manxue, who stood several steps away from Bai Qinghao.
¡°My god, our idol, Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Fang Manxue is really too lucky!¡± Whispers began underneath the stage among the students.
The forums were flooded withments yet again: [Goddess Manxue has been silent the entire time. She must have gone silly from joy...]
Ma Yongting brought the microphone towards Fang Manxue¡¯s chin and said, ¡°Fang Manxue, from Year 2, ss 3, I¡¯ve heard the envious voices from both the online forums and beneath the stage. As the future Lady Bai, do you have anything you wish to say?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned embarrassed. She stiffly responded. ¡°I... I don¡¯t have anything to say.¡± Her voice was barely audible.
In the past, whenever she enjoyed the glory of being Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, she would stand with her chin and chest lifted. She shifted her gaze onto Bai Qinghao who was several steps away. She had confessed her admiration for him in the past.
Given that he had yet to expose her, could it be that he nned to ept things as they were?
Chapter 299: The Donation Was Made In Fang Xinxin’s Name
Chapter 299: The Donation Was Made In Fang Xinxin¡¯s Name
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold. His gaze was heavy and unfathomable.
She had no idea what his intentions were...
Ma Yongting wanted to liven up the atmosphere and direct more of the spotlight on her. He smiled and said, ¡°Fang Manxue. You are themunications director in our student council, our Jing Hua University¡¯s star student. Normally, aren¡¯t you very good at speaking? If you don¡¯t say a few words for us, you¡¯ll be embarrassing Commander Bai.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, you¡¯ve been in a daze since you stepped on stage. Our idol, Bai Qinghao, is so outstanding, yet you can¡¯t even release a fart. Do you have the right to stand next to him?¡±
It wasn¡¯t clear who had shouted loudly, butmotion quickly grew beneath the stage.
Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip and remained uncertain.
However, she deliberated over it and suddenly wondered what if Bai Qinghao had no intentions of exposing her?
After all, earlier when they were in room 201, he had known that they were broadcasting his meeting with Fang Xinxin to the entire school, yet he did not speak up for that ugly pig.
In that case, she would make a gamble.
She would bet her everything that Bai Qinghao had grown tired of Fang Xinxin, the ugly and fat woman!
Thus, she put on a humble and generous smile and received the microphone from Ma Yongting. Just like a perfect host, she spoke in a bright and cheerful voice. ¡°Dear students and teachers from Jing Hua University, it is a blessing from my past life that I am able to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e now. Perhaps, it was not just my previous life, but an umtion of ten, or even a hundred difficult lifetimes that I am able to obtain this opportunity to share my fate with him now. It is also the reason why the theme of this event is titled, ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯.¡±
The moment she finished speaking, many sighs of admiration could be heard from beneath the stage. ¡°Wow... Goddess Manxue is so romantic. She is really devoted to our male idol, Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°It turns out that this is the theme for today¡¯s assembly. To think that Fang Xinxin still had thoughts of seducing her own future brother-inw. That disgusting third party won¡¯t have any more opportunities to do it again!¡±
Countless looks of disdain were thrown in Fang Xinxin¡¯s direction. She had been arranged by the teacher to stand in the first row and appeared especially eye-catching.
If another student had been in her ce, they would surely be deeply ashamed.
Yet, Fang Xinxin remained unfazed. She remained in her position as though this was none of herbusiness.
This was because she believed that the Bai Qinghao she loved would never allow her to be bullied in such a circumstance.
¡°Even I am moved by Fang Manxue¡¯s sincere confession.¡± On stage, Ma Yongting picked up the other microphone and was about to sing praises about Fang Manxue.
However, Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was amplified by the three microphones in front of him and sessfully cut him off. ¡°The reason I¡¯m here to visit the school is because I wish to empathise with the students¡¯ hard work and living environment. I notice that there are more than thirty dormitory buildings which are rather old. The restroom hygiene status is also rather worrying. I will donate a billion dors in my fianc¨¦e¡¯s name to rebuild those thirty buildings.¡±
It was an extremelyrge sum of donation and immediately drew the apuse of all of the students and teachers present.
Two bodyguards immediately brought an enormous, red, three by five metres signboard onto the stage.
The following words were printed in an extrarge font with bright, yellow ink: ¡®Fang Xinxin donates a billion dors to Jing Hua University¡¯!
All the students and teachers present were dumbstruck.
The students standing further away had trouble reading the words clearly and were watching the live-stream through their phones.
Everyone appeared to be astonished.
They were initially confused, and finally in disbelief.
[What is this situation? Did they write the name wrongly?]
[It¡¯s a billion dors. It¡¯s unlikely that they would print the name wrongly when such arge sum is at stake. God Bai Qinghao himself said that he is donating this sum in his fianc¨¦e¡¯s name. Could it be that Fang Xinxin is his fianc¨¦e?]
Chapter 300: The Engagement Party Back Then
Chapter 300: The Engagement Party Back Then
[There¡¯s no way! How could God Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e be Fang Xinxin? I demand that he deny this immediately!]
Everyone was in a state of chaos. The school forum was simrly exploding withments.
¡°Fang Manxue, you are our Jing Hua University¡¯s blessing, our...¡± Ma Yongting had yet to realise the situation. He shouted into the microphone to borrow the lively atmosphere from the young students.
To his surprise, the audience booed at him incessantly. Some even shot ugly looks at the stage.
He turned around in confusion only to discover that the donation was not made in Fang Manxue¡¯s name. Instead, the name printed was ¡®Fang Xinxin¡¯!
He leaned in for a closer look. ¡°I... am I seeing things? The words here say, ¡®Fang Xinxin¡¯ and not ¡®Fang Manxue, am I right?¡±
His response left the audience rolling inughter.
Ma Yongting¡¯s middle-aged, but still decent-lookingplexion had turned red. He had really lost his face here!
Fang Manxue was about to be moved by Bai Qinghao¡¯s generous donation when she noticed the name printed on the signboard. Her expression immediately turned poor.
Bai Qinghao spoke through the three microphones once more. ¡°Dear students and teachers, Jing Hua University is an educational establishment, a ce of learning. I, Bai Qinghao, will never make use of such a ce to unt my personal rtionships. The falsehoods Fang Manxue made up about enduring a hundred lifetimes are but meaningless and empty words. The person I¡¯ve been engaged to since young has never been Fang Manxue. This woman passed herself off as my fianc¨¦e publicly. She has also been falsely using my actual fianc¨¦e of being a third party. The extent to which she has been shameless has truly renewed my understanding of the world. The only person I¡¯ve ever been engaged to, till this day, is Fang Xinxin, from Year 2, ss 3!¡±
¡°What?¡± The students and teachers were in a state of chaos.
This time, they were not just confused. Their eyes had widened and their jaws were on the verge of falling off!
[My god, my god, Fang Manxue is actually an imitation good! Fang Xinxin is the actual, real deal!]
[How is this possible? Even Fang Manxue is quite a distance away from Bai Qinghao. Fang Xinxin is so ugly and so fat. Bai Qinghao and her are more than a hundred thousand miles apart, alright!]
[Could it be that God Bai Qinghao has been charmed by the third party and is intentionally trying to put her in the position of an original?]
[Spit, spit, spit, God Qinghao¡¯s words are extremely powerful. He never, ever lies. Do you think he would do such a thing?]
Another thousand pages ofments appeared onto the chaotic school forum.
At the actual event, the screaming was endless. It was even more noisy than the whistle of a kettle when it was boiling.
What sort of person was Bai Qinghao? He had already expected everyone¡¯s reactions. He continued talking into the microphone. ¡°I know that it is inevitable for everyone to be suspicious. You may wonder if I am helping a third party. I, Bai Qinghao, am not someone like that. As everyone knows, my engagement was decided by my grandmother when she was still alive. There is evidence in the form of a video recording made more than ten years ago. May I direct everyone¡¯s attention to therge screen...¡±
He gestured to the projector screen behind him. An old video clip began ying.
It was the scene of an engagement party held in the most luxurious hotel in the city centre, Huang Chao Hotel. The guest list included the best of the best, from famous politicians to business elites. Most of these figures could usually only be found on the television screen.
The camera was directed at the entrance of the engagement party. Arge banner had eye-catching words written on it ¨C ¡®Congrattions to Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin on their engagement¡¯.
Chapter 301: The Goddess’s Fall (Part 1)
Chapter 301: The Goddess¡¯s Fall (Part 1)
¡°CEO Long, congrattions. I truly did not expect your family¡¯s youngdy, Fang Xinxin, to be engaged to the Bai family¡¯s only son, Bai Qinghao. This is indeed a wonderful event.¡± One of the guests shook hands with Father Fang, Long Yifan.
Long Yifan appeared to be extremely pleased. Even his eyes and brows were curved happily. ¡°It is all thanks to fate for bringing these two children together. I really wish that I could enjoy their wedding celebration right now. It¡¯s a pity that the children are still young. I¡¯ll have to wait for at least ten more years.¡±
Grandmother Bai could barely suppress the smile on her warm, wrinkledplexion. She was simrly responding to numerous guests. ¡°Xinxin is a wonderful child. It is my grandson, Bai Qinghao¡¯s, great fortune to be promised to her.¡±
The video ended after a short two minutes. The projection was quickly turned off after it ended.
The entire ce was left silent. There were no longer any students suspecting Commander Bai for helping the third party.
It was impossible to suspect that such a video was fabricated. This was because various, important political figures and business elites had been in attendance at that event. There was no way that all these people would coborate to make up this lie.
¡°All the guests from that year can stand as a witness to confirm that Fang Xinxin is my fianc¨¦e.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was stern and his voice seemed to carry a little sadness.
¡°Ever since my grandmother¡¯s passing, this video has be all the more precious. And my fianc¨¦e, Xinxin, is a wonderful and kind girl. She isn¡¯t the kind to abuse my power or thirst for my wealth. Instead, she has been a silent support for me over the years. She is the one who told me that, though she was lucky enough to be ced in thefortable, new dormitory in Jing Hua University, there are many more students who are still enduring the old dormitories. The living environment there is poor to the point where even mice could breed. Moreover, the students have to share public toilets... with worrying hygiene conditions. She hopes that one day, when she is able, she could help these students ess a better living environment, so that they can focus more on their studies. I was deeply moved by her thoughts and her consideration brought warmth to my heart. That is the reason for today¡¯s theme ¨C Warming Jing Hua University With Love. Today, Fang Xinxin is still a student here. I¡¯m willing to gift her warmth to everyone present on her behalf right now. This is also why I am donating to the school in her name. Xinxin is an extremely kind girl, but she has been repeatedly attacked and bullied by public opinion. She has even been misunderstood as a third party. As her fianc¨¦, given that I am present here today, I have the responsibility and duty to stand up for her. I hope that everyone present will no longer be influenced to misunderstand her.¡±
Everyone present waspletely silent. There were noments attacking Fang Xinxin as a third party on the forum at this moment. The suspicions about Bai Qinghao¡¯s motives for the generous donation also stopped.
Everyone was moved by Fang Xinxin. It turns out that she is this well-brought up. She even worried about her schoolmates.
In an instant, all the earlier disdain, hatred and distaste in everyone¡¯s gaze transformed into sympathy, apology, admiration and envy...
[Fang Manxue is the most shameless whore of the century. She has been tantly pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e and even caused this old man to mistake Fang Xinxin as a third party! I really scolded Fang Xinxin for absolutely nothing! I made a horrible mistake!]
[My heart has suffered significant damage. It turns out Goddess Manxue is a cheap whore who deserves to die. She is even less than a prostitute. To think she had thoughts about God Bai Qinghao. She should get out of Jing Hua University right now!]
[She dared to fool all the teachers and students as though we are all monkeys. Fang Manxue, this beast. This old man will show her what the consequences of her actions are!]
Angryments flooded into the school¡¯s forum.
The extent to which everyone had praised Fang Manxue to the heavens previously was matched up by the extent to which they were attacking her right now.
These angryments were not only erupting on the forum.
Chapter 302: The Goddess’s Fall (Part 2)
Chapter 302: The Goddess¡¯s Fall (Part 2)
The entire venue was flooded with angered shoutings. More than ten thousand pairs of eyes red towards Fang Manxue in rage.
Fang Manxue lost the glory and arrogance that she usually maintained stemming from being Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Herplexion was pale as she stood trembling on the stage. She was being cut by the enraged gaze of the students and teachers present.
There was no doubt about it. If the res could kill, she would have died over a hundred thousand times by now!
This was the uttermost humiliation she had ever suffered and countless cameras were capturing it. One of the reporters raised her voice to question her. ¡°Miss Fang, may I ask, where did you train your ability to make things up and use the original of being the third party?¡±
¡°Your face is still considered to be attractive. Fang Xinxin is your blood-rted sister, yet you framed her as being the third party. May I know if your heart is ck in colour?¡±
¡°Miss Fang Manxue, you were so determined to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. You were even fearless enough to lie to his face, iming to have endured a hundred lifetimes for this. You¡¯re the most advanced imitation good to be found to be in the market. It¡¯s a pity that God Bai Qinghao is not interested in imitation goods at all. He only desires his actual fianc¨¦e. Your sham has been exposed. May I know how you feel about this?¡±
The reporters were well-educated. They lifted their microphones in her direction and gracefully questioned her.
Yet, every single one of their questions cut her deep. Fang Manxue stood before the shing camera lights. She bit down on her bottom lip and remained silent. Her body was trembling. She was humiliated to the point of wanting to hide away in a hole.
She really wanted to escape. In fact, she no longer cared about the threats that Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguards had delivered earlier. Even if they would broadcast her eating shit, it would still be better than having to suffer such humiliation in front of thousands of eyes.
However...
She was smart and understood that it was a wiser choice to remain on stage. The countless cameras and Bai Qinghao¡¯s presence were the only things holding the teachers and students back from doing anything to her.
The moment she ran down stage, with everyone¡¯s enraged emotions, it was possible they would immediately p and beat her up...
She possessed the body of a wealthy, youngdy. She could not take any type of physical abuse.
It was much safer to remain on stage with Bai Qinghao.
Amidst the rows of students and teachers, Jiang Xingnan and Fang Xinxin were from the same ss and naturally stood close to each other.
The instant it became certain that Fang Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, for the first time in his life, he felt a sharp, sour sensation in his heart.
Previously, he had made a grand gesture of support. He had sent her a message offering to make her his girlfriend.
He never expected that she absolutely did not require his help. Bai Qinghao had stood up in front of tens of thousands of people to regain justice for her.
He wasn¡¯t doing it just in front of the teachers and students. He was doing it in front of the entire country.
This was because today¡¯s event venue was not just being broadcasted live in Jing Hua University. It was being featured on the country¡¯s main television channel, as well as twenty other different channels.
Fang Xinxin waspletely unaware of Jiang Xingnan¡¯s bitter, gloomy gaze directed at her.
All her attention was focused on Bai Qinghao, the man who stood on-stage in a ck suit. Her gaze was sparkling.
Bai Qinghao is too handsome!
He is too cool!
Isn¡¯t he? Isn¡¯t he?!
Ahhhhh, she was far too lucky today. Thankfully, she had felt that it wasn¡¯t the right timing and had held herself back from asking him for help back at the dormitory.
She had thought he was angry and no longer cared about the way the public was attacking her.
She never thought he would make such a grand gesture for her.
She was moved...
She was moved to the point where her heart was nearly flying out of her body and charging towards him!
She nced at her phone. Currently, everyone who had insulted her previously were all especially apologetic as they praised her up to the sky.
Chapter 303: ‘Gifts’ For Fang Manxue
Chapter 303: ¡®Gifts¡¯ For Fang Manxue
¡°My god, my god!¡± Sun Jiamu, who stood by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side, was extremely overwhelmed.
She grabbed her elbow and eximed in disbelief. ¡°Xinxin, you are actually Bai Qinghao¡¯s real fianc¨¦e! I can¡¯t believe this! I¡¯m so happy! Uuu, I was so stressed when everyone called you a third party. I can finally rx now!¡±
Fang Xinxin held her hand tightly. ¡°I¡¯ve made you suffer for me. Thank you for believing in me.¡±
¡°My good friend, I don¡¯t care what thoughts other people have about you. I¡¯m willing to face even a bullet for you if I have to.¡± Sun Jiamu was not saying this because Fang Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, but because she genuinely considered her as a good friend.
Fang Xinxin epted Sun Jiamu¡¯s friendship. This was because based on her past memories, she felt that Sun Jiamu was a trustworthy person.
Bai Qinghao said a few more words on stage before he stepped off. He brought his ten bodyguards with him, making for a grand sight as he headed for his helicopter.
A group of students ran after him as they shouted loudly, ¡°Male idol, male idol!¡±
Bai Qinghao stepped into his helicopter without looking back.
Eight of the bodyguards stood in two neat rows. They faced away from the helicopter and appeared especially powerful as they prevented the students from leaning too close.
The other two bodyguards sought Fang Xinxin out and made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture to her. ¡°Boss invites you.¡±
Countless pairs of eyes watched in envy as Fang Xinxin followed the bodyguards into the helicopter.
Inside the helicopter, there were four luxurious ck seats. The first two seats were located in the cockpit.
A pilot and a bodyguard had taken those seats.
Bai Qinghao sat behind expressionlessly. Fang Xinxin stepped into the helicopter and sat down by his side. She immediately sensed the cold aura emitting from him.
The entire helicopter cabin¡¯s temperature seemed to have fallen by several degrees due to his presence.
The propeller began moving and the helicopter ascended into the sky.
She looked out of the window from where she sat. Therge crowd of students had their eyes trained on them. They seemed unwilling to watch them leave.
The remaining bodyguards on the ground boarded several SUVs and drove out of school.
She shifted her gaze onto the stage right at the moment when a student threw a bottle of water at Fang Manxue. Fang Manxue avoided it on time. However, an ice-cold popsicle then hit her right on the face, smearing all over her skin. Following which, various snacks, saliva... and unidentified fluids flew towards her, nearly drowning her.
Arge crowd of students and teachers had been fooled. Fang Xinxin believed that if these people had rotten eggs or vegetables in their hands, they would ¡®gift¡¯ it all to Fang Manxue without charging her any money.
Despite Fang Manxue¡¯s sorry figure, most of the crowd was not appeased. Countless people ran onto the stage and began venting their anger on her physically.
¡°Ahh! Save me, save me, ah!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t hit me! Please, please, I won¡¯t do it again!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t grab my hair, don¡¯t kick me!¡±
Sun Jiamu captured the entirety of Fang Manxue¡¯s horrified cries and injured figure, sending it to Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone.
She attached it with a message: [Although there are school staff members hired to maintain the order, it seems like these people are blind to Fang Manxue¡¯s beating. Even the reporters have turned off their cameras and are iming not to have seen anything. Fang Manxue, this cheap prostitute. She is the most despicable person I¡¯ve ever known. I feel great watching the entire school beat her up!]
[Xinxin, the amount ofments sympathising with you and apologising to you are flooding the entire forum! Indeed, good people will always be repaid eventually!]
Chapter 304: Breathtaking View
Chapter 304: Breathtaking View
Fang Xinxin finished watching the video of her second sister being beaten up alive. She felt thoroughly thrilled.
Fang Manxue, this cheap wench. No matter how much she got back at her, even if she eventually died, it would never be enough.
Unfortunately, she learned from Sun Jiamu¡¯s messages that after Fang Manxue lost consciousness, Fang Ln brought bodyguards with her and rescued her from the crowd¡¯s clutches. She was then taken to the hospital. God knows if she had died yet.
In Sun Jiamu¡¯s message, she called her a ¡®good person¡¯? Fang Xinxin felt somewhat guilty about thispliment.
If she had not instructed Chi Minzhe to broadcast and amplify the matter of Fang Manxue pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, the great Jing Hua University¡¯s star student and everyone¡¯s goddess, Fang Manxue, would not have had such a horrifying fall.
She had chosen not to exin for so long precisely to ensure Fang Manxue would be thoroughly doomed.
If she were to be called a good person, it was likely that the entire world would not have any evil.
Of course, she would never harm an innocent.
She had thought of performing a humiliating show of begging Bai Qinghao to restore her name.
She never expected that...
The tyrannical and powerful Bai Qinghao actually had such a warm side to him. There waspletely no need for her to beg him.
The grand event of ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯ moved her thoroughly.
She turned to the side and looked out of the window. She took in the scenery outside.
At this moment, the sun was about to set. The entire sky had been stained red weaved with patches of orange, light blue, yellow and purple. It made for a dazzling and stunning sight!
She looked downwards. There were countless high-rise buildings in the city and they were beginning to twinkle against the evening sky. The sight was evidence that the city was flourishing.
It was no wonder that Bai Qinghao often travelled by his helicopter. Not only was it fast, the scenery was also this oustanding.
The propeller noise was slightly loud. Both Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were not wearing noise-cancelling headphones.
He was in the midst of reading through a document rapidly.
She nced at the title of the document and realised that it was an important project the Sheng Shi Group was handling.
Although he was high up in the air and was the Bai family¡¯s only heir, he was also the responsible CEO of a giant conglomerate.
Throughout the period he had been abroad, it was likely that countless crucial documents had stacked up and were awaiting his perusal. Otherwise, he would not be scanning through them even whilst travelling between ces.
She took in his cold, handsome features. His pupils were distant and as dark as ink. His nose was thin and sharp, and his lips were slightly pink and thin. His charisma could not be denied and regardless of the angle, he was outstandingly handsome!
She really wished she could throw herself into his arms. She had missed him dearly the entire time he had been absent.
However, she did not wish to disrupt his work.
She struggled over this dilemma for a while before deciding to sit quietly by his side.
Bai Qinghao sensed that her gaze was focused on him. He remained expressionless as he quickly signed the documents in his hands.
She felt that it wasn¡¯t good to continue watching him. After all, most of Sheng Shi Group¡¯s documents were managed by the people under him.
The ones that had reached him were surely very important.
If she identally saw something she shouldn¡¯t have...
She shifted her gaze away and sat properly.
Bai Qinghao was depressed. It had been a long time since shest met, yet she was unwilling to even take an extra nce at him.
In the past, she had stopped him from dering her status as his fianc¨¦e countless times. Could it be that she still longed for Bai Chenxi?
At the thought of this, his gaze abruptly turned enraged. The entire cabin seemed to be covered in frost.
Fang Xinxin was confused. Why was he suddenly angry?
She nced at the high-ss wooden tea table in front of them.
There was a pot of tea and a single cup on it.
Her cup was not prepared. Clearly, it had been ast minute decision for her to board the helicopter.
Chapter 305: A Kiss
Chapter 305: A Kiss
She thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Bai Qinghao shifted his heated but distant gaze onto her.
Right now, her entire face was covered in scabs. Her skin had yet to properly peel.
It was simr to the type of scabs that formed on open surface wounds. The dried scabs were dark brown in colour. They were as disgusting as one¡¯s imagination would make them out to be.
Even she struggled to look in the mirror with her current appearance.
However, once these scabs healed, she would recover her original, beautiful appearance.
His gaze was far too difficult to read. She struggled to understand his emotions but sensed that he did not disdain her poor appearance.
This discovery filled her with joy.
Seeing that he did not receive the cup, she lifted it and specially kissed the rim of it with a loud smack. She then brought it close to him.
Bai Qinghao watched her in confusion. ¡°What are you up to?¡±
¡°You¡¯re covered in a serious stench of sweat...¡± She did not answer his question.
She then pinched a short, thick hair that hadnded on his clothes. ¡°You must have just shaved. You didn¡¯t even shower...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned gradually darker. The light in his eyes also immediately faded. He had rushed back from the jungle overnight just to see her. There wasn¡¯t any time for a shower before he had to board the helicopter.
As the clothes he had been wearing prior were too dirty, he had changed into a clean set of clothes and shaved on the helicopter. He then headed straight for her school.
He did not expect her to be dissatisfied with his appearance.
The pilot in the front row was wearing headphones. He did not hear their conversation.
Liu Li, the bodyguard next to him however, was listening attentively.
He scolded Fang Xinxin, this fattie in his heart. Her heart is truly submerged in pig¡¯s oil. Shepletely failed to understand Boss¡¯s feelings. Wait and see how he will take care of her!
Fang Xinxin saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s head was about to start smoking. She mischievously changed her tone and said cheerfully, ¡°Since you rushed over to see me so urgently, I¡¯ll reward you with a kiss.¡±
A simple response from her eased the building storm in Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes easily. His frigid gaze turned heated and he responded huskily. ¡°The kiss shouldn¡¯t have been made on the cup.¡±
¡°Then where...¡± she asked in confusion.
Before she could finish, she received Bai Qinghao¡¯s kiss as an answer to her question.
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. She was still holding onto the cup and nearly forgot to breath.
There were others in the helicopter with them. Her expression turned shy.
From the front row, Liu Li watched in shock as his boss delivered a punishment to Fang Xinxin.
Boss actually kissed Fang Xinxin?!?
His heart felt overwhelmed.
Every time a subordinate provoked the boss, he would be punished with a thousand push-ups or a hundredps... Regardless of his choice, the person would be thoroughly exhausted after hardbour and be forced to shave off one-third of their lives.
Fang Xinxin sure had it easy. No matter if she was being rewarded or punished, it was always through Boss¡¯s kiss.
Of course, he was not jealous that Fattie Fang had an advantage as a woman.
He was simply angry. Their handsome and wise boss was meant to be apanied by a woman who was as beautiful as a flower, with a thin waist and explosively stunning figure. No matter what, she was not supposed to be as ugly as Fang Xinxin!
Liu Li frowned. His expression was extremely bitter. He reflected deeply and felt that as a subordinate, he worried for his boss far more than what his duty demanded.
The helicopter descended in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s backyard. More than twenty maids stood in two neat rows to receive them.
Butler Zhao saw that the helicopter door did not open for quite some time. He waited for a moment and could not control his curiosity and leaned in for a look.
The woman¡¯s back was facing him. He could not see her face, but her figure was not familiar to him.
Chapter 306: Welcome Home
Chapter 306: Wee Home
He thought to himself that Young Master must have finally grown sick of Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugliness and finally changed his taste.
This was also good.
His young master was as noble as a god. Ever since he found Fang Xinxin, the ugly thing, countless people had begun to secretly take him as a joke.
It was only that they feared Young Master¡¯s power and did not dare to admit to it openly.
There was no need to worry any more now that he was with a different woman.
Fang Xinxin felt nearly all the air in her lungs being used up. She was about to lose her consciousness the way she had the first time Bai Qinghao kissed her.
Bai Qinghao noticed something amiss and begrudgingly released her. He received the cup from her shaky grip and took a sip.
His lips slowly curved up into a faint smile. The taste of the tea from a cup she had kissed was indeed different. It was slightly sweet!
Fang Xinxin took this opportunity to take in several gulps of air. She red at him. ¡°What are you smiling about?¡±
Bai Qinghao stiffened his expression and responded sternly. ¡°I¡¯mughing at you for being useless. You nearly fainted from a simple kiss again.¡±
He would never admit that he enjoyed drinking from the cup she had kissed.
Fang Xinxin turned her head away with an arrogant and lovable attitude. ¡°Hmph.¡±
At this moment, Butler Zhao opened the helicopter door and saw that the woman by his young master¡¯s side was actually still Fang Xinxin...
Compared to thest time he saw her, she had lost a lot of weight. It was no wonder he could not recognise her from the back.
He had received instructions to warmly receive the woman who was apanying his young master home.
Zhao Cheng led more than twenty maids to bow neatly towards her. ¡°Wee home, Miss Fang!¡±
Home...
This word left a warm feeling in Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart.
It turned out that to Bai Qinghao, his home was the same as hers.
She stepped out of the helicopter and took in Yu Ting Vi¡¯s beautiful and extravagant backyard. She nced at Bai Qinghao who was by her side. ¡°You don¡¯t have to wee me so seriously.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense!¡± His expression was fierce and his gaze did not contain any warmth.
However, she understood that his heart was aching for her after understanding the Fang family¡¯s poor treatment of her. This was his way of helping her understand that he treasured her.
Although he had been absent for some time, she deeply felt his concern.
For example, he knew that she was losing weight and that her clothes were quickly bing a poor fit for her. Thus, he instructed Butler Zhao to visit periodically and send her new clothes.
Furthermore, the clothes he bought were all from international brands. They were extremely costly.
The first two times he did so, he spent nearly sixty million dors on her.
Afterwards, she insisted that he spend lesser and buy fewer pieces.
However, he refused to buy her clothes that were too cheap and still spent several million dors each time.
¡°Miss Fang, I did not expect you to lose weight this quickly.¡± Butler Zhao took her figure in and spoke seriously. ¡°I¡¯ll prepare more fitting clothes for you immediately.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve troubled you.¡± She did not stand on ceremony with him.
This was because she knew Butler Zhao had been instructed to ensure that her clothes always fitted her well.
Bai Qinghao handed his cup to Butler Zhao. He then abruptly lifted Fang Xinxin into a bridal carry and headed into the vi.
She reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck. She said with flushed cheeks, ¡°Hey, everyone is watching...¡±
It was only after she said this that she noticed that all the bodyguards and maids were well-trained. They did not react to the scene in front of them.
What was the point of being shy then? Sheposed her emotions and leaned against his firm chestfortably.
Bai Qinghao easily carried her up to the third storey. He did not even pause for a breath. It seemed like he was quite well-trained!
He had only just ced her down on the bed when he immediately climbed on top of her.
Chapter 307: Weight Loss
Chapter 307: Weight Loss
His sudden movement left Fang Xinxin excited. It was clear that she was especially attractive in his gaze.
He took in her smaller figure. He suddenly furrowed his ink-ck brows and said with heartache in his voice, ¡°You¡¯ve lost too much weight!¡±
She recalled the amount of weight she had lost and felt slightly proud. ¡°I¡¯m only 60 kilograms now.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve already lost a lot of weight. There¡¯s no need to lose anymore.¡± Hemanded firmly.
¡°No.¡± She shook her head to refuse him. ¡°I¡¯ve already decided to lose weight until I am at most 50 kilograms. I¡¯m going to possess the attractive figure that models have.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to!¡± His expression was stern. ¡°You are already thin enough.¡±
¡°This weight is only about right for my height.¡± She insisted. ¡°I prefer being thinner.¡±
He nearly began gritting his teeth. ¡°I said you¡¯re not allowed to!¡±
Fang Xinxin saw the unhappiness in his cold, handsome features and did not continue arguing with him. She would simply continue losing weight without his agreement. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m really happy that you returned in time to see my weight loss progress.¡±
Unfortunately...
The scabs on her face had yet to fall. She still needed some time to regain her outstanding beauty.
Otherwise, she would have killed him with her charm!
¡°There¡¯s no difference to me whether your figure is thin or fat.¡±
His words left her feeling slightly disappointed. ¡°I thought you would be happy seeing how hard I¡¯ve been working to lose weight...¡±
At the same time, she also felt somewhat happy.
After all, he was an extremely handsome and attractive man. Yet, he did not mind if she was as fat as a pig or as thin as a stick. He would always treat her the same.
This knowledge was supposed tofort her, wasn¡¯t it?
¡°Being overweight will affect your health.¡± Bai Qinghao finally forced these words out coldly. ¡°Congrattions on losing weight.¡±
She was overwhelmed with joy as she delivered a kiss on his charming face. The loud smack of her kiss could be heard clearly. ¡°Muah!¡±
Bai Qinghao stiffened slightly. He really wished he could kiss her forcefully till death!
He recalled the words she had said earlier on the helicopter. Indeed, it had been quite some days since hest showered.
He suppressed the urge to take her immediately and stood up to head for the bathroom.
Fang Xinxin caught the noise of the shower running in the bathroom and easily guessed that the male idol was showering.
She really wished she could go take a peek.
She recalled the first time when she lost her innocence to Bai Qinghao. At the time, she had caught sight of his long legs, his well-crafted muscles and his figure that was even more attractive than that of models...
Just the thought of it caused her mouth to water.
He was indeed quite capable in that aspect.
The first time it happened, her legs had ached for days.
In their previous life, whenever they were intimate, he always did it forcefully. The hatred she had for being treated this way had long faded.
Right now, she actually missed being intimate with him.
It was unfortunate that they only managed to do it once after she came back into this life.
Thankfully, her opportunity was here again. Since he had left to shower, it was clear he intended on eating her up.
She was excited to the point of trembling!
Within two to three minutes, Bai Qinghao stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. She had yet to fully appreciate the sight before she was forcefully kissed.
It seems like he had starved for a long time!
She felt deeply moved. She was about to take the initiative to hold his shoulders when she suddenly faltered. ¡°Bai Qinghao, no...¡±
Bai Qinghaopletely ignored her refusal and his hands quickly began to undo her clothes.
Chapter 308: Who Are You Protecting It For?
Chapter 308: Who Are You Protecting It For?
¡°You can¡¯t!¡±
She pushed against him with all her might. His desire-filled eyes were lit with anger. He barely held back a shout. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯re still refusing me at this stage!¡±
¡°I...¡± She wanted to speak but was forcefully kissed. She could only release soft whimpering noises.
Since she could not stop him, she decided to stiffen up her body and ceased protesting.
Upon seeing this, his frigid coldplexion turned enraged. A storm was starting to build in his distant eyes. ¡°Who are you protecting your body for? Are you that angry at me for dering that you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e?¡±
¡°No, listen to my exnation...¡± She wished to speak but was nearly tortured to the point of insanity from his desire.
He was not in the mood to listen to her exnation. ¡°You better not let me find out that you¡¯re still thinking of Bai Chenxi. Otherwise...¡±
Suddenly, his fist smashed heavily against the night light installed into the bedside shelf. It shattered instantly into smithereens and the pieces cut into his skin. Thick blood seeped out of his wound, yet he did not seem to feel any pain.
She lifted her head and immediately saw the murderous intent in his gaze. She reflexively shrunk back a little.
Since she was unwilling, he would not forcefully take a woman!
He got off the bed and charged back into the bathroom, mming the door loudly.
This time, it was to take a cold shower! To extinguish the mes!
Following the loud m of the bathroom door, the bedside shelf, which he had vented his anger on, actually dislodged from the wall and crashed onto the ground!
Fang Xinxin sat up and took in the sight. Fuck, he really destroyed the luxury bedside shelf with a single punch.
As expected of the country¡¯s one and only male idol. His fist was even harder than steel.
She had no doubt about it. If his fist hadnded on her, she would have died immediately.
She recalled that in her past life, no matter how angered he was, he never once used physical violence against her.
He was a good man who never hurt his wife.
Fang Xinxin was not actually frightened by his anger.
This was because he possessed a significant part of her heart.
He had misunderstood. She was not protecting her body for Bai Chenxi, that bastard.
She recalled the way he had kissed her earlier. Her tongue was still sore from being kissed.
He wanted her so badly, yet...
She also wished to be one with him dearly.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was of despair. She held onto her abdomen. Fuck, why was her period here now. It was such a hassle...
It wasn¡¯t suitable to engage in lovemaking during her period. Otherwise, her body could easily be ill. If things were serious, it would even affect her body to conceive.
Fang Manxue had snuck drugs into her food for several years. Her body was seriously affected and her periods were always much tougher to endure than for normal people.
If she was not careful, the consequences would be too difficult to bear.
After all, she really wished to have Bai Qinghao¡¯s child!
She stared at the tightly shut bathroom door. She wanted to wait for him toe out to exin the matter to him.
She waited for quite some time, yet he did not return.
¡°Bai Qinghao...¡± She called him with an especially soft, pleasing voice.
However, there was no response. The sound of running water only paused for a moment before it began again.
It was clear that he did not wish to hear her voice. He must be really angry!
In their past life, there were many such misunderstandings. Back then, she did not bother to exin anything.
However, right now, she refused to allow such misconceptions to remain.
His cellphone was still in the dirty clothes that he changed out from earlier. He had likely tossed the clothes near the sink.
Fang Xinxin brought her own phone out. She wanted to give him a call but felt slightly embarrassed admitting to such matters.
Chapter 309: Poor Timing
Chapter 309: Poor Timing
So be it!
She tapped on Bai Qinghao¡¯s contact and dialled.
She clearly heard this phone ringing through the bathroom door. However, he did not answer the call.
Did something happen to him?
She approached the door and twisted the handle but was met with resistance. The door was locked from inside.
Fuck, he actually locked the door just to shower!
Bai Qinghao was not taking a simple cold shower. At the same time, he was seeking resolution for his problem. This sort of situation was not suitable to be viewed.
It was normal to lock the door.
He noticed Fang Xinxin¡¯s call on his phone by the sink.
His expression was cold and dark. He hesitated for a moment before picking it up.
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin saw that the call was answered. Her lips curved up.
She had known that he was a good man. Even when he was upset, he would still pick up her call.
Faced with his silence, Fang Xinxin decided to speak up first. ¡°Bai Qinghao, when did I tell you that there are poor living conditions in Jing Hua University¡¯s dormitories? I don¡¯t have the emotional capacity to worry for my school mates. You were the one who orchestrated ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love...¡±
She had yet to finish speaking, when he hung up her call!
Fang Xinxin red at her phone. Her eyes were burning from her anger. She resisted the urge to spit out fire.
Bai Qinghao had assumed she had called to ask for his forgiveness. He had hoped she had thought things through and was now willing to give her body to him.
If that was the case, he would begrudgingly head out to... take her!
Ever since he took her first time, he spent almost every night reliving that day!
Only god knew how much he yearned for her!
To think that what he received was these words instead.
His expression was dark. He practically wished to strangle Fang Xinxin to death.
Did that mean that in her eyes, no matter what he did, it would always be wrong?
Despite his anger, as Bai Qinghao stood under the cold shower, his body was overheated to the point of nearly emitting smoke. Still, he did not hang up on Fang Xinxin¡¯s call.
She had avoided him for so many years. How could he possibly bear to do so when she had taken the initiative to call him?
It was simply an unlucky event. His phone had run out of battery and turned off on its own.
Outside the door, Fang Xinxin assumed that Bai Qinghao had ended the call. She was angered for a moment but quickly calmed down. She then sent him a message.
She would lose her face as a woman if she lowered her head first. She couldn¡¯t give in so easily!
Thus, she started her message in a unique way: [A bastard who isn¡¯t even suited to hold my shoes...]
She left several rows of empty spaces, before finally adding: [That¡¯s Bai Chenxi. Or do you think he is suited to hold your shoes?]
After sending that message, she continued typing another: [I¡¯m not trying to protect my body. My period is here. In fact, now that you¡¯re back, I also wish to... By the way, you took charge of the situation to rify my name, but I¡¯m not angry about it. I¡¯m very thankful. Earlier, when you made the speech at the event, you were really charming.]
After sending these two messages, Fang Xinxin felt that he definitely would not be angry any longer.
She stared at the door and waited for him toe out and make up with her.
However, after more than ten minutes, he still showed no signs ofing out.
Could it be that those messages weren¡¯t powerful enough?
[At most, when my period ends, I¡¯ll properly make it up to you?]
She sent another message to clearly convey her seductive intention. She was certain that this handsome man would now be satisfied.
There was still no response.
This time, Fang Xinxin was the angry one. She raised her voice. ¡°Bai Qinghao, that¡¯s enough of you!¡±
You¡¯ve nearly trampled all over this old woman¡¯s face. I am someone with a bottom line too.
The pain in her abdomen worsened. She needed to leave immediately to purchase some pads.
She had wanted him to go and buy them. However, since he refused to leave the restroom, she could only do so herself.
Bai Qinghao heard the noise of the door mming from inside the bathroom. His handsome face instantly turned extremely dark.
Chapter 310: Liu Li Deserves A Beating
Chapter 310: Liu Li Deserves A Beating
Fang Xinxin stepped out of her room. She did not climb the stairs but instead took the elevator down to the living room.
Although the Yu Ting Vi was only three stories high, it was still installed with an elevator.
Ding!
The elevator came to a stop on the first floor. When Fang Xinxin stepped out of it, Liu Li, who was guarding outside was surprised. He scanned her properly clothed figure and immediately became overwhelmed with joy. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you were chased out by Boss so quickly?¡±
Fang Xinxin had just had a conflict with Bai Qinghao. At first, she could not be bothered to deal with him. However, his words were too low. He deserved a beating.
She tapped on her phone inside her pocket without making anyrge movements. After that, she asked him. ¡°Who chased me out?¡±
Liu Li lifted his phone and checked the time on his watch. He quickly counted. ¡°It has only been twenty minutes since Boss carried you into his room. It¡¯s been days since hest showered. He still needs to wash up. If we consider the amount of time it will take for the two of you to take off your clothes, there is slightly more than ten minutes left. Boss¡¯s physical ability is beyond what a normal human being can achieve. Regardless if it¡¯s on the bed or on the battlefield, he is absolutely outstanding. How could ten minutes possibly be enough? It would make more sense if you added another zero behind that number. It¡¯s clear that he didn¡¯t touch you. He must have asked you to scram.¡±
His tone held extreme certainty. ¡°Thank god, our amazing Boss has finally thought things through! With your... horrific appearance, it¡¯s only normal that he struggled to eat you.¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin was stifled with anger. However, she still held onto her fake smile. ¡°In that case, it seems like you don¡¯t think I¡¯m fit to be with your boss?¡±
¡°Obviously.¡±
She intentionally pretended to be troubled. She then sighed heavily. ¡°Your boss treats me really well. I was deeply moved by his actions and had nned to spend the next few days properly pensating¡¯ him. However, since his subordinates view me in this manner, that must convey his actual intentions. In that case, forget it. I¡¯ll give up on hispensation. Since my ugly appearance doesn¡¯t suit him at all, I¡¯ll back off.¡±
Liu Li praised her. ¡°You finally have some insight. Our boss deserves to stand next to an outstanding beauty!¡±
¡°Mm hmm.¡± Fang Xinxin opened her WeChat and sent the video.
Liu Li felt that she was slightly strange today. If it had been another asion, she would long have stabbed him with her words.
He nced at her phone. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what are you up to?¡±
She informed him in a kind tone. ¡°Earlier, weren¡¯t you full of justice as you farted a bunch of useless words in my direction? I recorded a video of you and sent it to your boss.¡±
¡°What?!¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression changed drastically. His somewhat good looking and young features immediately turned pale. He tried to snatch her phone. ¡°You can¡¯t!¡±
Fang Xinxin hid her phone behind her back. ¡°Why not? You nagged at me so thoughtfully. Aren¡¯t I doing exactly what you hoped for?¡±
¡°If Boss learns that I said so much to you behind his back, he¡¯ll punish me!¡± He urgently tried to grab her elbows.
She did not resist and only said, ¡°I¡¯m your boss¡¯s woman. Look at the way you¡¯re touching me. Don¡¯t you want your hands anymore?¡±
¡°What do you mean by touching you? You can¡¯t say such a thing carelessly. I only touched your clothes for a moment. Your clothes!¡± Liu Li immediately backed away. His forehead was covered in sweat. ¡°Please, you definitely can¡¯t send that video to Boss!¡±
Shezily asked him. ¡°How do you know that your boss¡¯s prowess on the bed requires you to at least add a zero behind ten minutes? Could it be that you¡¯ve tried it before?¡±
Liu Li was finally afraid of her. ¡°Fuck, don¡¯t speak nonsense! Our boss¡¯s sexual orientation is very normal. This is rted to his reputation. I might lose my head over this!¡±
Chapter 311: Consequences Of Being A Loudmouth
Chapter 311: Consequences Of Being A Loudmouth
¡°Previously, at the hospital, didn¡¯t Boss do that to you? I was standing right outside, wasn¡¯t I? The amount of time he can keep at it is sufficient for him to be branded as a ¡®God¡¯ on the bed.¡±
She nodded in understanding. ¡°It turns out that you¡¯re referring to that incident between Bai Qinghao and I. I thought your boss was raising a little vixen behind my back.¡±
¡°I only wish he could do so. I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so good about you. Our boss is even more important than a god, yet he only has eyes for you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinxin¡¯s mood became slightly better. She walked around him and turned to leave.
¡°Fattie, you haven¡¯t erased the video from earlier!¡± Liu Li chased after her.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes were as sharp as a knife. ¡°Call me a beautiful woman.¡±
¡°Damn Fatte, look at your ugly self. You¡¯re asking me to lie with a straight face. Won¡¯t your conscience ache?¡±
She responded honestly. ¡°No.¡±
Liu Li clenched his fists tightly. His expression was angered. ¡°If you weren¡¯t Boss¡¯s woman, fuck...¡±
She lifted her well-crafted brows. ¡°And so?¡±
He immediately softened his tone and said, ¡°Beautiful woman, young and beautifuldy, I beg you. Will you please delete the video from earlier? Please, look at how handsome I am. I¡¯m sure you can¡¯t bear to watch Boss murder me, right?¡±
¡°There¡¯s some logic to your words.¡± She brought her phone out and opened her WeChat. ¡°But... your regret is a littlete. Take a look at this yourself. The video has already been sent to Bai Qinghao.¡±
She suggested it as an afterthought. ¡°How about, you use his phone to delete it?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin!¡± Liu Li shouted loudly. If he touched his boss¡¯ phone, even if he had more than one head, there wouldn¡¯t be enough for his boss to shoot down!
She left the vi and headed to a nearby mall with augh.
She knew without looking back that Liu Li¡¯s expression was even worse than that of a student who had flunked in all his tests.
Damn Liu Li. He had repeatedly held onto an arrogant attitude in front of her. If it wasn¡¯t because he had sacrificed his life for Bai Qinghao in their past life, would she be this kind to him?
This time, she would let him suffer some consequences.
Of course, she wouldn¡¯t go through the trouble of doing it herself. With the earlier video, Bai Qinghao would naturally deliver the consequences on her behalf.
After purchasing some pads, Fang Xinxin visited a public restroom.
She originally nned to return to the Yu Ting Vi. After all, it had been quite some time since hest returned. She missed him dearly.
However, when she recalled that he had hung up on her call, she felt very upset.
She nced at her phone. She had sent him so many apologetic texts, yet he did not respond to her.
She was very angry...
She decided not to return to the Yu Ting Vi.
She decided to take a cab to visit her father at Jia Ya hospital.
On the way there, she received an urgent call from her elder brother, Fang Shaohua.
To summarise it simply, her elder brother had been jailed for three years. He did not know that Fang Manxue had been pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e all this while, and had framed Fang Xinxin as a third party.
Her elder brother¡¯s heart was aching for her. Sheforted him a little and ended the call.
On the thirty-eight storey of Jia Ya Hospital¡¯s building, Fang Xinxin entered a hospital room guarded by the two bodyguards. She saw that her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, was in the midst of changing their father, Long Yifan¡¯s, diaper.
He first wiped Long Yifan¡¯s body clean before applying ayer of moisturiser on his dry skin.
He then carefully lifted Long Yifan¡¯s body and arranged the diaper on him.
Fang Xinxin could not help but feel moved by his considerate and patient movements as he cared for their father.
Fang Xinxin recalled her past life. Back when she had been paralysed on the bed, Bai Qinghao had simrly cared for her in this manner.
Chapter 312: Meal Cooked By Brother
Chapter 312: Meal Cooked By Brother
However, his expression had always been cold and stern. Thus, she always feared him.
It was only with time that she started getting swayed towards him.
But as time passed, he gradually took less care of her.
The people around her also sowed discord, causing her to misunderstand that he had abandoned her.
In truth, at the time, Bai Qinghao was not only busy. His body was also falling ill.
On days when he did not appear, he was hospitalised.
At the thought of this, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart softened. She wanted to take the initiative to contact Bai Qinghao.
She took a nce at her phone and saw that there still weren¡¯t any messages from him. Hence, she decided to wait.
Since he had hung up on her call, he had to lower his head first!
When Fang Shaohua saw her, his dark expression immediately lit up. He joyfully weed her. ¡°Xinxin...¡±
She responded quickly. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re here too. If you¡¯re busy, you don¡¯t have toe often.¡±
She knew that her brother was busy investing in stocks. He had even registered an investmentpany. As his crimes had yet to be cleared, he did so with her identity card. ¡°Your business has only just begun. You need to invest more time into your work.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. I can still make time to do this.¡± Fang Shaohua smiled at her gently. ¡°Have you had dinner?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡±
¡°Do you want to eat together?¡±
¡°En.¡±
He had nned on visiting a nearby restaurant for a low-profile meal. After all, he was released from jail for medical reasons. It wasn¡¯t suitable for him to expose his face to the public.
If he was discovered to be healthy, there would be a lot of trouble.
Fang Shaohua never expected it to be so difficult treating the girl he loved to a meal.
She smiled and asked him. ¡°Why don¡¯t we return to Hong Sheng District for a meal? It¡¯s been a long time since I had food cooked by my brother.¡±
She then put on a greedy expression. ¡°Brother¡¯s cooking skills are especially good. Even chefs from five star hotels aren¡¯t as good as you.¡±
She was not exaggerating by saying this.
Before her elder brother was jailed, at some point, he had honed his cooking skills perfectly.
In fact, Fang Shaohua had intentionally hired famous chefs to help him do so.
Bai Qinghao was far too outstanding. His family background was also powerful.
Since he could not defeat the other party¡¯s power, he decided to develop his own individual charm. Originally, he had nned on taking Fang Xinxin¡¯s stomach captive.
But to their surprise, he only managed to prepare a few meals for her before he met with his trouble.
He lifted his wrist and checked the time.
It was 6.30p.m. in the evening. If they returned now, the food would be ready not before 8p.m. at the earliest.
Visiting a nearby restaurant would definitely be faster.
He understood that she was being considerate towards him by making this request. He was moved by her thoughts and nodded in agreement.
They requested the hospital staff to take care of Long Yifan before taking a cab back to Hong Sheng district. They entered an apartment in Block A, on the twentieth storey.
Fang Xinxin took in the modern renovation done in the apartment. It wasn¡¯t different from thest time she visited.
She had bought this apartment for him with his money.
However, she had lied that she had rented this ce.
Since her elder brother did not say anything, it meant that he had yet to find that apartment deed she had hidden in this ce.
Fang Shaohua opened the refrigerator. ¡°Auntie Gao Ru has stocked up the refrigerator with a lot of food. She¡¯s been preparing all my meals as I haven¡¯t been cookingtely. I sent her away today since I nned to visit the hospital.¡±
Auntie Gao Ru was a helper that she had arranged for him. She asked him in concern. ¡°Is her food all right? If you¡¯re not satisfied, we can hire someone else.¡±
Chapter 313: Preparing A Five Star Meal For Her
Chapter 313: Preparing A Five Star Meal For Her
¡°She is a skilled and efficient helper.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Fang Shaohua noticed her slightly fatigued expression and said in concern, ¡°Go to the room and rest for a while. Leave the cooking to me. I¡¯ll call you when the food is ready.¡±
Although they were not rted by blood, Fang Xinxin has always treated him like her actual brother. Thus, she did not stand on ceremony. ¡°En.¡±
She turned to head to the guest room.
Fang Shaohua noticed her movements. His light and warm voice could be heard from the kitchen. ¡°I didn¡¯t prepare any nkets or pillows in the guest room. Usually, there aren¡¯t any guests for me to receive. Go ahead and use the main bedroom.¡±
Fang Xinxin was exhausted from the emotional upheaval during the day. Her body also felt unwell due to her period. She could not summon the strength to pull out the sheets and pillows for the guest room.
However, the main bedroom was her brother¡¯s room. It wasn¡¯t suitable for her to sleep on his bed, was it?
Although they often shared a room when they were young, that was when they were both children. Why did it matter if they were of opposite genders?
Right now, they were both grown-ups.
This matter was slightly sensitive.
However, she recalled that her brother had been wronged for three years. As of now, their only source of evidence was Wang Liangping, the man who had stolen her phone. He was still out of their reach.
From what she heard from Hei Xiao, Wang Liangping had left Mysia to head to Thand. They were still pursuing him.
She wasn¡¯t sure when her brother¡¯s innocence would be proven. She could not bear to reject him.
She was worried that he would think she was being distant or formal with him.
Thus, she pursed her lips to respond. ¡°I don¡¯t feel like sleeping right now. I¡¯ll rest on the couch for awhile.¡±
She sat down on the couch and shrunk her feet back toy down for a rest.
Fang Shaohua prepared the food and headed to the living room to see that Fang Xinxin had dozed off due to exhaustion.
He took in her tired face. There were faint shadows under her eyes.
He knew that during the past few days, she was not only busy with her studies but also in advancing her career.
There were also a bunch of bastards targeting her in school.
She must be exhausted.
He hated the fact that he was still a criminal. It was not suitable for him to reveal his face in front of everyone.
Otherwise, he definitely would get rid of all those who dared to bully her!
Furthermore, she was losing weight too rapidly.
In this period of time, whenever they met, she would be much thinner than the previous time. The speed at which she was losing weight really caused his heart to ache.
He hesitated to wake her up.
Eventually, he decided to let her rest a little longer. Even if the food turned cold, he could warm it up quickly in the microwave.
Fang Shaohua headed into his bedroom and brought a nket out. Heid it gently over her.
Fang Xinxin opened her drowsy eyes and took in the man who was thoughtfully covering her up with a nket. She lifted her hand and yawned tiredly. ¡°Brother, is the food ready?¡±
¡°You must be hungry.¡± He was worried about making her eat at such ate time. ¡°Have some dinner before you rest.¡±
¡°I was woken up by your five stars culinary skills.¡± She smiled slightly.
Although her skin was still covered in scabs, Fang Shaohua found that she possessed a strange charm. ¡°Silly girl, you haven¡¯t even eaten my food and you¡¯ve already started ttering me.¡±
She harrumphed mischievously. ¡°In this world, nobody can possiblypete against my brother¡¯s cooking skills!¡±
He patted her on the head dotingly and casually responded. ¡°Look at your mischievous words. Since you¡¯re going so far to praise me, I¡¯ll cook for you for the rest of your life.¡±
She shook her head without pausing to think. ¡°You can¡¯t do that. Brother, you still have to get married in the future. If you cook for me for the rest of my life, my future sister-inw will be jealous.¡±
In fact, he was carefully testing her feelings.
Clearly...
She only saw him as her brother.
A hint of bitterness filled Fang Shaohua¡¯s withered heart. Sharp painnced through his chest.
Chapter 314: The Things You’ve Never Considered
Chapter 314: The Things You¡¯ve Never Considered
He appeared not to mind and responded. ¡°How could there be a future sister-inw? I¡¯ve never considered such a thing.¡±
He had already given his entire heart to her. How could he possibly consider a different woman?
Fang Xinxin assumed that he was bothered by his criminal record. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. I guarantee that I will overturn your case sessfully. When that happens, there¡¯ll be tons of beautiful women waiting for you.¡±
The bitterness in Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart worsened. However, he smiled warmly. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±
Fang Xinxin approached the dining table.
There were three dishes and one soup ced on the table which contained Braised Pork Meatballs, Steamed Perch in Ginger and Scallions, Braised Prawns in Soy Sauce and Vegetable and Egg Soup respectively.
The food looked to be outstanding and was especially fragrant. Although these dishes could be found on almost any household¡¯s dinner table, the atmosphere was especially warm in here.
Fang Shaohua prepared two bowls of rice and handed one over to her.
Fang Xinxin reached for a piece of prawn and some vegetables. She quickly picked up her bowl and said, ¡°I¡¯m starving. Brother, the food is really good. Even the rice you cooked is especially fragrant!¡±
¡°If it¡¯s good, have more.¡± He kept cing more food into her bowl.
¡°No, no.¡± Fang Xinxin stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m trying to lose weight. I can only have half a bowl of rice. I can¡¯t have too much meat either.¡±
He frowned slightly. He then scanned her up and down seriously. ¡°Xinxin, I remember you told me that you¡¯re only 60 kilograms right now.¡±
¡°I am.¡±
¡°You¡¯re 1.69 metres tall. 60 kilograms is normal weight for your height. You don¡¯t have to lose any more weight.¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head. ¡°Think about it. I was overweight for such a long time. It wasn¡¯t easy losing this much weight. If I persevere for a little longer, I¡¯ll be able to possess a charming figure.¡±
She then struck a pose. ¡°Brother, look. My waist is actually really thin. Even when I was overweight, most of my body fat did not gather at my stomach. If I lose a little more weight, my waist will be especially stunning!¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gazended on her body.
Her shoulders were defined and her waist was slender. Even her legs appeared especially long. Right now, her figure was very attractive. Indeed, if she lost more weight, she would possess the charming figure that she described.
His heart felt moved.
He suddenly felt himself on the brink of a nosebleed.
Fang Xinxin spoke up unhappily. ¡°Brother, where are your eyes looking at?¡±
He assumed that she had noticed his gaze and was about to exin when she continued. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to look at my chin. My scabs are ridiculously ugly.¡±
Thankfully, she had misunderstood! He did not exin further. ¡°Your figure is already quite good right now. Listen to me, don¡¯t lose any more weight.¡±
She pouted in refusal. ¡°No.¡±
Fang Shaohua was helpless. ¡°At least, make sure that you don¡¯t starve yourself.¡± He picked up a piece of the steamed perch for her. ¡°Steamed fish is good for your health. It won¡¯t cause you to gain weight. Instead, it will instead enrich your blood and strengthen your body. It¡¯s alright if you have a little more of it.¡±
Her brother had worked hard to prepare these dishes. Fang Xinxin did not refuse him. She picked up the fish and stuffed it into her mouth.
¡°Eat slowly. Watch out for bones,¡± he nagged in concern.
She took in his worried appearance and suddenly felt deeply upset.
In their previous life, ever since he was jailed, she only visited him once.
She did not see him again ever after.
Right now, she deeply cherished the fact that they were able to sit down together for a meal.
He noticed her upset expression and immediately ced his chopsticks and bowl down. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you upset?¡±
She shook her head lightly. ¡°Brother, let¡¯s have meals together often in the future, alright?¡±
Chapter 315: Qinghao Questioned Repeatedly
Chapter 315: Qinghao Questioned Repeatedly
Fang Shaohua was a smart person. He immediately understood that she was upset about the meals they had missed throughout the period he was in jail. He warmly responded. ¡°Alright.¡±
He needed to obtain his innocence quickly.
This was because it was the only way for him to protect her.
...
Yu Ting Vi.
Bai Qinghao came out of the room after his cold shower but failed to find Fang Xinxin. He learned from a helper that she had left the ce without any exnation.
He nearlymanded his men to capture her back in a fit of anger. He had been away for such a long time, yet she was still trying to avoid him!
He recalled their previously strained rtionship. It hadn¡¯t been easy trying to improve it. Furthermore, she had clearly told him she desired him.
Her words led him to believe that he upied some space in her heart.
He feared that if he instructed his men to drag her back, the recent changes to their rtionship would be undone.
He did not wish for her to look at him with hatred!
Bai Qinghao sat before therge study table in the study room and quickly scanned through the documents sent from Sheng Shi Group with a pen in his hand. He attempted to redirect his attention with work.
However, his frozen heart only grew to be more frustrated and enraged.
¡°Fang Xinxin!¡± He gritted his teeth coldly.
Liu Li stood behind him in fright.
His gaze kept shifting onto the two sets of phones on the study table.
One was for Boss¡¯spany matters, and one was for his private matters.
Liu Li was aware that Fang Xinxin usually contacted Boss through his private number. At the moment, that phone was turned off and was being charged.
This meant that his boss had yet to watch the video Fang Xinxin sent him.
If Boss saw it...
He would rip off his skin!
¡°Miss Fang isn¡¯t here. Would you like to go and look for her?¡± Liu Li dearly wished for his boss to make up with Fang Xinxin right now.
Perhaps, if the ugly fatty treated his boss better, hsi punishment would be lightened?
¡°Why is there a need for me to look for her personally?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark as he gritted his teeth to speak.
¡°But you¡¯ve been waiting for her for quite some time. She still isn¡¯t back yet...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold to the point that frost was nearly forming around him. His gaze was likewise as sharp as a pair of knives. ¡°Who says I¡¯m waiting for her?¡±
Liu Li was nearly sliced into half by his boss¡¯s sharp gaze. Adding on his fear of being punished, his legs began trembling in fright. ¡°Yes, yes. You¡¯re not waiting for her.¡±
If you¡¯re not waiting for her, why did you ask repeatedly if Fang Xinxin is back?
He only dared to rebut it in his heart. He did not disy that thought in his expressions.
¡°Go. Send someone to drag Fang Xinxin back to the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Liu Li immediately moved to respond.
¡°Wait.¡± Bai Qinghao stood him. His broad and intimidating figure left the study room. ¡°I¡¯ll go myself!¡±
Liu Li nced back secretly at the phones that his boss had forgotten on his study table.
He thought about Fang Xinxin¡¯s suggestion. Perhaps, he could delete the video right now...
The video had yet to be seen. Perhaps, he could do so?
This thought was eliminated the moment it came up. He had no way of unlocking his boss¡¯s phone. Even if he did, he could not take the risk of being shot to death.
As of now, he could only pray that his boss would find out about the videoter. The longer he could drag it for, theter he would die.
Liu Li rushed after his boss with an expression of misery. He had only taken a few steps when Butler Zhao stepped into the room. He respectfully took Boss¡¯s phone and turned to leave with them.
Sigh. He finally discovered that his great boss would never make the silly mistake of forgetting his phone. Instead, there were people tasked to carry it for him.
Chapter 316: You Don’t Even Care If Your Birth Mother Is In A Car Accident
Chapter 316: You Don¡¯t Even Care If Your Birth Mother Is In A Car ident
Ten SUVs drove through the bustling city, forming an extravagant sight, beforeing to a stop before the Fang family¡¯s vi entrance.
Their neighbours immediately came out of their homes to spectate.
Twenty to thirty bodyguards alighted from the car without any expressions. They stood neatly in a row and carried an intimidating aura. The people watching them could only do so from afar. No one dared to take a step closer.
¡°Wow... what a powerful entrance. Who is it?¡± A bystander eximed.
¡°Is there a need to ask? Of course it¡¯s our country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao!¡± Another neighbour shot him a look as though he was an idiot. He then peeked into the first car¡¯s window. ¡°I never expected to be this lucky today. To think I would see Bai Qinghao in person.¡±
¡°He casually lifted a finger and donated a billion dors to Jing Hua University, ah. The viewer ratings for that event were extremely high. More than twenty channels have been broadcasting it repeatedly. Fang Xinxin is so lucky. She actually became Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°My daughter just turned twenty-two. Why doesn¡¯t she have a rich, powerful and handsome husband whom everyone loves...¡± One of the uncles from a neighbouring homemented.
Long Shuhai came running out of the Fang family¡¯s front yard. He bowed toward Bai Qinghao, who was inside the car. ¡°CEO Bai, it is our greatest honour to receive your visit!¡±
¡°Where is Fang Xinxin?¡± His tone was cold and it was clear that he had no intention of making small talk.
¡°Xinxin isn¡¯t back yet...¡± Long Shuhai was confused. ¡°I saw on the television that she boarded the same helicopter as you did. Isn¡¯t she with you?¡±
Bai Qinghao pursed his lips silently. He then shot Liu Li a look.
Liu Li immediately led several bodyguards with him into the vi to search.
Within a few minutes, he returned to report. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t inside.¡±
Long Shuhai immediately responded., ¡°CEO Bai, Xinxin really isn¡¯t at home. If she was, I would never have dared to lie to you. Speaking of which, Fang Xinxin, that child, she is really unfilial. My sister-inw was involved in an ident and is currently in the hospital. The hospital called her urgently yet she didn¡¯t respond. She didn¡¯t even reply to their messages. Right now, I don¡¯t even know where she is. Her birth mother met with a car ident yet she won¡¯t even visit her at the hospital...¡±
The neighbours watching by the side immediately began whispering. ¡°I never expected Fang Xinxin to be such a person. She doesn¡¯t even care about her own mother...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± A well-dressed, wealthy looking middle-aged woman responded. ¡°You guys may not know of it, but my daughter is good friends with the Fang family¡¯s second daughter, Fang Manxue. I heard from Manxue that Fang Xinxin¡¯s character has problems...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened. He shifted his sharp gaze over to the side.
The middle-ageddy had nned to continue badmouthing Fang Xinxin. However, when she received Bai Qinghao¡¯s warning gaze, she immediately trembled in fear. She did not dare to speak any further.
¡°Who is she?¡± Bai Qinghao was clearly asking about the middle-aged woman.
Long Shuhai was about to respond when Butler Zhao spoke up. ¡°Responding to Young Master, this person is Fang Manxue¡¯s good friend, Lou Yuna¡¯s mother. Her name is Kong Meixian. She is also the Fang family¡¯s neighbour.¡±
Previously, when he had carried out orders to deliver clothes to Fang Xinxin, he had met with Lou Yuna and Kong Meixian multiple times. They often came by as guests.
Thus, he knew this without having to investigate their background.
¡°Neighbours...¡± Bai Qinghao lifted one corner of his lip ambiguously. He gave Butler Zhao a signal.
Butler Zhao immediately understood and opened the car door.
The moment Bai Qinghao stepped out of the car, his tall and broad figure with his impable suit became the centre of everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Bai Qinghao is even more cool and handsome than he appears on television!¡± The crowd could not help but exim.
Chapter 317: Standing Up For You Despite His Anger (Part 1)
Chapter 317: Standing Up For You Despite His Anger (Part 1)
Kong Meixian was astonished. The cool, handsome and broad-shouldered Bai Qinghao was actually approaching her.
Long Shuhai, Buter Zhao Cheng and Bodyguard Liu Li followed behind him.
¡°Do you know CEO Bai?¡± A wealthy neighbour she was familiar with asked.
¡°...¡± Kong Meixian wanted to say no, but she did not wish to lose any face. Thus, she decided to remain silent.
In fact, the reason she made her daughter, Lou Yuna, be good friends with Fang Manxue, was to encourage her daughter to grow close to Bai Qinghao. Unfortunately, there weren¡¯t many opportunities for her to do so.
But to her surprise, Fang Manxue actually turned out to be an imitation good. She really made a misstep in her ns!
The next time, she would persuade Yuna to be friends with Fang Xinxin, that ugly girl. Who knows, her daughter could then have the opportunity to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
Bai Qinghao paused five steps away from the crowd. His sharp gaze directly focused on Kong Meixian. ¡°Repeat what you said earlier!¡±
Kong Meixian was confused as to what he meant. Her heart was hammering in her chest. ¡°CEO Bai, my daughter, Yuna, is Manxue¡¯s good friend...¡±
¡°Thest sentence.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s character has problems...¡± She fearfully forced these words out, peeking at his expression.
Bai Qinghao remained expressionless. His coldplexion did not reveal his emotions. ¡°How so?¡±
His tone did not carry any inflections. It was as though he was asking about a stranger.
¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s second uncle, Long Shuhai, said it himself.¡± Kong Meixian spoke up with courage.
¡°You may not know of this, but Ln... I mean, Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother was involved in a car ident. As her neighbour, even I¡¯ve been to the hospital to visit her. Fang Xinxin is Ln¡¯s daughter, yet she has been avoiding her. She hasn¡¯t answered her phone calls. She won¡¯t even show up...¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Long Shuhai performed the role of a disappointed character by the side. ¡°CEO Bai, do you know when the hospital needed someone to sign the papers for my sister-inw¡¯s surgery, I was the one who had to rush over. I thought that Xinxin was a good child, but I didn¡¯t expect her to be this unfilial.¡±
Kong Meixian gritted her teeth and added. ¡°Her conscience is really eaten by a dog!¡±
If Bai Qinghao grew to hate Fang Xinxin and forced that ugly trash off the stage, considering that Fang Manxue was already a public enemy, wouldn¡¯t her daughter, Yuna, have an opportunity?
The two of them sang back and forth, thoroughly attacking Fang Xinxin¡¯s character.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Fang Xinxin to be such a person...¡± One of the neighbours chimed in.
Although most of the crowd disyed their disdain through their expressions, they were smart enough not to let their mouths run wild in front of Bai Qinghao.
Liu Li stood behind themander and suddenly hoped that his boss would end his engagement with Fang Xinxin in a fit of anger.
This way, Fang Xinxin¡¯s WeChat message would not affect him... however, he could not quite bear to do so.
After all, Fang Xinxin was too ugly. If she lost an outstanding fianc¨¦ like his boss, she wouldn¡¯t be able to find someone better.
Bai Qinghao carelessly asked an unrted question. ¡°Has everyone seen ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯?¡±
¡°I saw it on the television, CEO Bai. You were really cool. You donated a billion dors to Jing Hua University. My son is also studying there and is coincidentally staying in one of the old dorms. He has been grumbling about the poor living conditions for quite some time. Apparently, even the paint on the walls is cracking. Now that the dormitories are being renovated, Jing Hua University¡¯s students will be able to enjoy a much better environment...¡±
The middle-aged uncle still had a lot to say when Bai Qinghao cut him off. ¡°In that case, everyone should know that I made the donation for Fang Xinxin. She is a kind girl who even worries about her schoolmates¡¯ living conditions. How could she possibly not worry if her own mother is hospitalised? Furthermore...¡±
Chapter 318: Standing Up For You Despite His Anger (Part 2)
Chapter 318: Standing Up For You Despite His Anger (Part 2)
He shifted his look of disdain onto Kong Meixian. ¡°Your daughter heard from Fang Manxue that Xinxin¡¯s character is problematic? Fang Manxue is a girl who only knows to spout lies. She even tried to steal her own sister¡¯s fianc¨¦. Her shamelessness knows no bounds. Can her words be trusted? As her friend, your daughter joined hands with Fang Manxue to speak ill about my fianc¨¦e¡¯s character behind her back without any evidence. ¡®Birds of a feather flock together¡¯. This indicates that your daughter¡¯s heart has already turned ck.¡±
Kong Meixian had wanted to bring her daughter up in front of themander. She did not expect to instead draw his ire. Herplexion turned pale as she rushed to exin. ¡°CEO Bai, it¡¯s true that Fang Xinxin hasn¡¯t visited her mother in the hospital...¡±
¡°Everyone, I¡¯ve been away for business for quite some time. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to return to see Xinxin.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was cold and firm. Everyone listening found it difficult to doubt him. ¡°Everyone has seen on television that Fang Xinxin boarded the helicopter with me. We returned to Yu Ting Vi together, yet she suddenly left. Previously, her phone was turned off. If Fang Ln did not contact Xinxin over the ident, she must not have seen it in time. It¡¯s likely that she only saw it when we arrived at Yu Ting Vi, hence the reason why she rushed off abruptly. Otherwise, I can¡¯t think of any other reasons that would make her leave without leaving behind a word.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not turn off her phone. For her sake, Bai Qinghao was able to lie without pausing to blink.
Long Shuhai immediately spoke up. ¡°CEO Bai, I just returned from the hospital. I came back to retrieve some fresh sets of clothes for my sister-inw. I didn¡¯t see Xinxin there...¡±
¡°She should be on the way there.¡±
Although Bai Qinghao said so, he was a ruthless man at heart. Even if the other party was Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother, he would not spare any kindness for someone who had treated Fang Xinxin poorly.
He instead hoped that Xinxin did not actually leave his ce to visit Fang Ln. After all, there was a possibility that the car ident waspletely made up.
Even a blind man could recognise that Bai Qinghao was protecting his future wife.
Furthermore, his words were logical and persuasive. The neighbours and passers-by also chimed in. ¡°I believe in themander¡¯s fianc¨¦e¡¯s character. Long Shuhai, why are you stirring up so much conflict when you¡¯re only a guest in the Fang home?¡±
¡°And you, Kong Meixian, do you wish for CEO Bai to hate Fang Xinxin that badly? Who doesn¡¯t know that you pray for your daughter to transform into a phoenix everyday? Both you and your daughter¡¯s hearts have turned ck. It would be more suitable if both of you be crows.¡±
Kong Meixian tried to refute them, but the entire crowd started to scold her for being arrogant. The humiliation caused her to turn pale.
Bai Qinghao saw that no one was questioning Fang Xinxin¡¯s character any longer. Since he was not interested in their small talk, he turned and returned to the first car.
Liu Li felt really bitter about this. He wondered as to what kind of charm Fang Xinxin possessed. Their great Commander had spoken up for her despite his anger.
Long Shuhai saw that Bai Qinghao was about to leave. He immediately chased after him. ¡°CEO Bai, you are Fang Xinxin¡¯s future fianc¨¦. Your future mother-inw is hospitalised. Won¡¯t you go visit her?¡±
The Fang Group had lost the Bai family¡¯s support. The Bai family also released word that no one was allowed to cooperate with the Fang Group simply because they were giving face to the Bai family.
The Fang Group was currently in a tight spot.
If Bai Qinghao visited her in the hospital, outsiders would definitely assume that the Fang Group¡¯s director, Fang Ln¡¯s rtionship with Bai Qinghao had improved.
This could perhaps lead them to be more willing to work with the Fang Group once more.
His shout had been especially loud. All the people standing around, heard him.
Since Bai Qinghao cared for Fang Xinxin that much, in this situation, refusing to agree would indicate that he was too unfeeling.
Long Shuhai would force him to go even if he had to face the consequencester!
Chapter 319: Date Her With Adopted Brother (Part 1)
Chapter 319: Date Her With Adopted Brother (Part 1)
¡°I have urgent matters to deal with,¡± Bai Qinghao left these simple words behind coldly. The ten SUVs drove off in a majestic sight in front of everyone.
Outside the Fang family¡¯s vi, the crowd shared their admiration for Bai Qinghao¡¯s ability to prioritise the country¡¯s matters over his private matters. The Bai family¡¯s background was mysterious and they were known to y critical roles in many important government matters.
Long Shuhai¡¯s ns had fallen through. Hisplexion was poor but there was nothing more that he could do about it.
In the backseat of one of the SUVs, Bai Qinghao opened hisptop. He was scanning through the information on Kong Meixian¡¯s husband¡¯spany, the Lou Group.
They were a materialistic and superficial couple. He was certain that they would not be able to endure poverty.
Originally, he did not think it suitable to deal with such a smallpany.
But she dared to criticise his fianc¨¦e¡¯s character right in front of him.
She was clearly looking for death.
Even if Fang Xinxin refused to share a bed with him, and was ridiculous to the point of being angry at him for clearing up her name, she was still his woman. He would not tolerate anyments from outsiders!
Bai Qinghaomanded in a cold and ruthless manner. ¡°Pass my orders down. Set a trap for the Lou Group and force them to diminish their fundings bit by bit, until they have no choice but to shut down. Then, inform Lou Zongyue that this was all caused by his good wife, Kong Meixian.¡±
He would not send his subordinates to do something as low as hurting a middle-aged woman physically. But that did not mean that her husband could not do it for him.
¡°As for Long Shuhai, he seems to be missing some ¡®peace¡¯tely. Send him to the hospital toy down quietly for ten days or so for a good ¡®rest¡¯.¡±
In the SUV following behind, Butler Zhao received the instructions through his bluetooth headset. He immediately passed the orders down.
When Liu Li, who sat in front of Bai Qinghao, heard the words, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
That trash from earlier had only badmouthed Fang Xinxin a little and was now receiving such a serious punishment. If he...
Liu Li gathered up his courage to ask him. ¡°Boss, if I identally made a mistake...¡±
¡°You¡¯ll be punished ording to the rules.¡±
¡°But if the mistake was a private matter?¡± Liu turned back and shot his employer a friendly smile. ¡°Boss, although I¡¯m only your bodyguard, we are brothers who have been through life and death together. Of course, I wouldn¡¯t dare to im to be your brother, but I¡¯m sure that your feelings for me are not indifferent...¡±
Bai Qinghao looked up from hisptop. He was expressionless. ¡°Get to the main point!¡±
The moment Liu Li received his ice cold stare, he trembled. He nearly confessed the truth about the video Fang Xinxin had sent him.
At this moment, Butler Zhao¡¯s voice could be heard through the inte system installed in the car. ¡°Young Master, we have tracked the surveince cameras as you ordered. After leaving Yu Ting Vi, Miss Fang first went to Jia Ya hospital to visit her father, Long Yifan. She met her adopted brother, Fang Shaohua, there. The two of them are currently in an apartment in Hong Sheng District. They are in Block A on the twentieth floor. This apartment was bought for Fang Shaohua by Miss Fang. It is eighty-five metres square wide. I have already sent the apartment¡¯s blueprint to yourptop.¡±
The butler paid attention to the minutest detail andpleted his job to utmost perfection.
His young master was really powerful and influential. His status was unique. Each time he visited a new ce, they had to be wary of potential enemies. Thus, it was better to first collect some information.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned dark. It seemed to be covered with ayer of frost.
He had thought that Fang Xinxin went to visit Fang Ln, but she ran off from Yu Ting Vi for the sake of going on a date with her adopted brother, Fang Shaohua?
That damned woman. He would show her the consequences of doing so!
Inside the SUV, both Liu Li and the driver were trembling from their boss¡¯s rage.
Since Boss had no interest in asking anything further, Liu Li also did not dare to bring up the earlier topic.
As for Fang Xinxin¡¯s video... he could only drag it out for as long as possible.
Bai Qinghao recalled the attention that they drew at the Fang home earlier. He did not wish to be surrounded by a crowd in the Hong Sheng District. Hemanded coldly. ¡°Get a recement business car. Two bodyguards will suffice!¡±
Chapter 320: Date Her With Adopted Brother (Part 2)
Chapter 320: Date Her With Adopted Brother (Part 2)
¡°Understood.¡±
Several minutester, Bai Qinghao brought Liu Li and another bodyguard into Hong Sheng District. Although he had never been here, he had seen the blueprints for these apartments earlier. He headed straight for the apartment in Block A, on the twentieth storey.
As they stood in the esctor, Liu Li took in his boss¡¯s dark expression. He thought to himself that Fang Xinxin was doomed this evening!
After stepping out of the elevator, Bai Qinghao shot him a cold, stern look.
Liu Li hesitated. Was Boss indicating to him to break the door open, or to knock on it politely?
He couldn¡¯t understand.
If he knocked on the door and gave the adulterous couple inside some time to put on their clothes and escape...
He considered it and felt that since they were on the twentieth floor, the other party would not be able to escape.
He paused for a few seconds and reached out to press the doorbell.
The doorbell only rang once. A warm-looking young man with a fairplexion opened the door.
Liu Li recognised him. He was Fang Xinxin¡¯s adopted brother, Fang Shaohua.
He appeared to be quite good-looking. It was no wonder that Fang Xinxin would go behind his boss¡¯s back to date this man!
Fang Shaohua nced at the tall, broad-shouldered and stern-looking Bai Qinghao. He had not expected him to show up.
However, after considering Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and influence in the city, he felt that there was no way Bai Qinghao wouldn¡¯t have known that he was released from the jail for medical reasons, and was currently living in the city.
It had been three years, yet Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance remained unchanged. His cold and tyrannical aura still roused fear amongst the people.
But he did not fear him.
It was just that, Bai Qinghao was outstanding to the point of drawing his hatred. As a result, his chances of snatching Xinxin back were close to zero.
He paid no attention to the two bodyguards standing behind him.
Bai Qinghao was simrly sizing up Fang Shaohua¡¯s handsome features. In the past, he visited the Fang family frequently and had plenty of opportunities toe into contact with him.
Fang Shaohua, this man, typically appeared mild-mannered. He did not reveal much of his thoughts and seemed to treat Xinxin just like a sister.
But he was born with keen senses and had recognised the truth a long time ago.
When the two men exchanged gazes, it was as though two burning sparks had collided and were fighting for dominance. The scent of danger filled the air and hinted at an uing storm.
¡°Brother, who is it?¡± Fang Xinxin asked carefully from the living room.
After finishing her food, she had returned to the couch to watch television.
Although she imed to be watching television, in fact, she was waiting for news from Bai Qinghao.
However, it wasplete radio silence on his end. Her slight irritation grew to the point where she was on the brink of a temper tantrum.
¡°It¡¯s Bai Qinghao,¡± Fang Shaohua responded indifferently.
¡°He¡¯s here!¡± Fang Xinxin immediately jumped off the couch and ran towards the door. She ran straight into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger was initially brewing in his heart. He was ready to catch Fang Shaohua and Fang Xinxin in the act, and to use Fang Shaohua to threaten her into being obedient.
However, as she ran towards him in enthusiasm, her little face was filled with excitement. Her eyes were also sparkling.
The storm in his heart instantly disappeared. He bent down slightly and held her waist to lift her up. He walked into the living room and said unhappily, ¡°Why did you run over without wearing your shoes? The floor is cold.¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted her arms to hold his neck. She did not feel any shame as she responded. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because I missed you?¡±
This caused Bai Qinghao¡¯s frozen heart to instantly melt into liquid warmth.
¡°Still, you have to wear your shoes.¡± The heartache in Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold voice could not be concealed.
Liu Li stood dumbstruck by the entrance.
Didn¡¯t his bosse to catch the vixen in the act?
He was still waiting for Fang Xinxin, the ugly woman to meet with her misfortune.
After all, it was best to look for someone to cushion his own death. Fang Xinxin, the cause of all problems, was the most suitable choice.
Chapter 321: Protecting Her Body For Shaohua?
Chapter 321: Protecting Her Body For Shaohua?
He felt deeply unhappy now that he was doomed to die alone. Since his boss would not catch the adulterous couple, he would do so himself.
As long as he found the slightest evidence of Fang Xinxin¡¯s disloyalty, she would be done for!
He stepped inside the living room and scanned the entire area.
Earlier, Fang Xinxin was clearly resting on the couch. Fang Shaohua had answered the door almost instantly after the doorbell rang. The two of them were also properly dressed. The whole apartment did not contain the scent of desire, instead there was... the scent of food.
There were still remnants of food on the table. It had yet to be cleaned up.
All of the three room doors were also ajar.
The study room was meant for work and there was no bed in it. There was one in the guest room but there weren¡¯t any sheets or nkets on it. Even the bed in the main bedroom was properly made.
From the surveince camera records, it had only been an hour since the two entered this apartment. They still needed time to prepare the ingredients, to cook and to eat...
It seemed like there wasn¡¯t much time for them to do anything else.
From his observations, it seemed like Fang Xinxin and Fang Shaohua were not an adulterous couple.
Liu Li settled on this conclusion with much regret. He was certain that his boss knew this better than him.
Xinxin did not conceal her feelings for Bai Qinghao. As Fang Shaohua watched this...
He felt as though his heartspace was filled with ice.
He had been jailed for three years. Back when he had been first released and met her at their father¡¯s hospital room, he had embraced her in agitation.
But she had been unfazed. She had onlyforted him like a sister.
From his impression, Xinxin¡¯s character was on the softer side. She was easily embarrassed and was the sort who wouldn¡¯t tell anyone even if she suffered a grievance.
He did not expect her to be this open and honest with Bai Qinghao.
She once mentioned that she had be strong and brave, that she was no longer the same, weak Fang Xinxin.
It was a good thing. Yet, as he was happy for her, his heart felt stifled with difort.
This was because she was gradually moving further and further away from him...
Fang Shaohua kept away his emotions and watched the way Liu Li was scanning the room. He spoke up coldly. ¡°Be rest assured. There isn¡¯t anyone hiding with the intention of harming your boss.¡±
Bai Qinghao was slightly displeased with Liu Li for acting on his own. ¡°The two of you, wait outside.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
The two bodyguards immediately stepped out of the apartment.
Fang Xinxin finally noticed that Liu Li was unharmed. She immediately felt slightly upset.
Liu Li¡¯s mouth was so smelly. After she sent the video to Bai Qinghao, she had assumed that Liu Li would immediately be punished.
Yet, this little servant seemed to bepletely fine.
She knew that Liu Li was different from other bodyguards for Bai Qinghao. The two of them were brothers who had experienced near death experiences together.
However...
Did that mean he could look down on her?
Could it be that to Bai Qinghao, she was not as important as Liu Li?
She struggled her way out of Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms andnded back on the ground. She suddenly asked him coldly. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
The warm and sweet-scented girl in Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms suddenly disappeared. A hint of disappointmentnced through his heart. As he took in his fianc¨¦e¡¯s rapidly changing expression, he felt a little taken aback. ¡°A minute ago, you said that you missed me...¡±
She repeated her question in anger. ¡°I asked you why are you here?¡±
The apartment door was not shut. Liu Li stood outside and heard them clearly.
He immediately began silently urging his boss to admit that he was here to catch the adulterous couple in the act.
As if he was afraid of Fang Xinxin!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze shifted onto Fang Shaohua. He wondered if she was intentionally starting a conflict with him for Fang Shaohua¡¯s sake.
Could it be that she had protected her own body not for Bai Chenxi, but for Fang Shaohua?
The strong stench of jealousy immediately filled his heart. He could not verbalise the constricting anger he was experiencing at this moment.
Chapter 322: There Were Differences Between An Adopted Brother And A Fiancé
Chapter 322: There Were Differences Between An Adopted Brother And A Fianc¨¦
Fang Shaohua¡¯s appearance was quite outstanding. Although he was charged with a heinous crime, it was possible that he had been falsely used.
He was different from Bai Chenxi, that trash.
Furthermore, he had been adopted by the Fang family since he was an infant. His rtionship with Fang Xinxin was very strong.
Considering Fang Xinxin¡¯s character, if it was confirmed that Fang Shaohua had been falsely used, she would not mind the fact that he had previously been jailed. Instead, it was possible her heart would ache for him even more.
His sharp gaze was akin to that of an X-ray. His eyes nearly pierced through Fang Shaohua¡¯s body.
However, Fang Shaohua was rather capable in his own ways. He appearedpletely unfazed and did not reveal any of his thoughts.
Bai Qinghao felt the urge to admit that he hade in a fit of anger to catch the adulterous couple in the act.
He wasn¡¯t afraid of Fang Xinxin. In fact, in this world, it only made sense for others to fear him.
However, he understood in his heart that Fang Xinxin would not betray him.
He did not wish to act on his impetuous emotions. Thus, he coldly responded. ¡°Do I need to exin myself to you?¡±
When Fang Shaohua heard this, his lips curved into a faint smile.
Bai Qinghao had clearlye for Fang Xinxin.
He waspletely unaware that hard tactics were absolutely useless on Xinxin. At times, even moderately hard tactics were useless.
His current arrogant attitude would only serve to provoke Xinxin further.
Of course, he would not offer any kind reminders.
He dearly wished for Bai Qinghao to die. He could then fill up the space of Xinxin¡¯s fianc¨¦.
Fang Shaohua said expressionlessly, ¡°Bai Qinghao, I don¡¯t care what you came for. But please keep your thoughts clean.¡±
His words were meant to remind Fang Xinxin that this person had suspicions about the two of them.
As expected, Fang Xinxin became angry. In an instant, she seemed to have transformed into a little angry lion cub. ¡°Bai Qinghao, did you think we were having an affair?¡±
Quickly admit to it.
Liu Li shouted with agitation internally by the doorway.
As long as his boss and Ugly Fangpletely fell out with each other, he would not have to worry about being punished because of this woman.
Bai Qinghao took in his fianc¨¦e¡¯s angered attitude. She was clearly upset about being wronged. He was not foolish enough to fall for Fang Shaohua¡¯s trap. ¡°Please do notpare yourself with me. Earlier, didn¡¯t Xinxin say that she missed me? She is my fianc¨¦e. It¡¯s only natural that I miss her too and came to see her.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s angered expression softened slightly.
Even if Bai Qinghao hade with the intention of catching them in the act, if he did not admit to it, it indicated that he did care for her.
Liu Li felt dark clouds gathering over his head.
His great boss was actually afraid of offending Fang Xinxin?
¡°...¡±
Fang Shaohua did not expect the arrogant Bai Qinghao to not be swayed by his feelings. ¡°Really? Earlier, your bodyguard thoroughly ¡®observed¡¯ my apartment.¡±
¡°There are countless people after my life. Liu Li has his own duties to fulfil.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Shaohua. He seemed to be describing him.
Fang Shaohua did not deny this.
Since the other party was unwilling to admit his intentions and even relied on a safe excuse, he was helpless. ¡°What does CEO Bai wish to drink?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was as cold as ice. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble an outsider.¡±
¡°Ha...¡± Fang Shaohuaughed coldly.
He immediately rified the rtionships here. ¡°This is my home. My surname is Fang. My third sister, Fang Xinxin, also has the surname Fang. Even if she is your fianc¨¦e, she has yet to marry you. It seems like you¡¯re unclear as to who the actual outsider is.¡±
Bai Qinghao smiled mockingly. Against Fang Shaohua¡¯s self-assumption that he was closer to Fang Xinxin, he responded with a bomb without any hesitation. ¡°Fang Xinxin is already my woman!¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s originally unfazed expression changed into one of disbelief.
Sharp painnced through his heart.
Chapter 323: Shaohua’s Tears
Chapter 323: Shaohua¡¯s Tears
The pain left him struggling to breath. ¡°T-there¡¯s no way...¡±
Fang Xinxin was flustered. She red at Bai Qinghao in embarrassment. ¡°Why would you bring that up?¡±
Her response confirmed Bai Qinghao¡¯s words.
Bai Qinghao nced at Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression of heartbreak. His heart turned heavy.
He was more than familiar with such heartbreaking despair.
Back when Fang Xinxin had eloped with Bai Chenxi to betray him, he had been heartbroken and angered to the point where he wanted to destroy the entire world!
However, he slowly started to trust, based on Xinxin¡¯s words and actions, that she did not have any room for Bai Chenxi in her heart. The incident was a misunderstanding.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s response clearly seemed like that of a man who had just lost the love of his life.
Very good, Fang Shaohua, you sure hid it well!
For years, even Bai Qinghao did not manage to see through him clearly. All he had were suspicions.
Now that Bai Qinghao had confirmed Fang Shaohua¡¯s feelings for Xinxin, a hint of mockery appeared in his gaze. He was very satisfied with Fang Xinxin for openly admitting that she was his. His frozen heart instantly warmed up. ¡°Fang Shaohua, did you hear that clearly?¡±
Fang Shaohua concealed the hurt in his gaze and appeared unfazed as he responded. ¡°For most couples these days, it¡¯s normal to have such rtions before marriage.¡±
¡°She is Fang Xinxin.¡± Bai Qinghao pointed out.
Fang Shaohua felt his heart hammering with pain.
Indeed, Xinxin would only do such a thing with someone if she cherished the person in her heart.
When Fang Xinxin nced at Fang Shaohua, the other party had already managed his own emotions. However, he did not look happy.
She recognised that her brother was upset at her for having intimate rtions before marriage. ¡°Brother, I...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak about it anymore.¡± Fang Shaohua was drowning in misery. He barely managed to hold onto hisposure. ¡°I¡¯ll go wash the tes.¡±
He picked up the remaining dishes from the dining table into the kitchen. The instant he turned around, his tears escaped and rolled down his fair cheeks.
Three years ago, when he had been jailed, the emotions he experienced were that of anger from being wronged. It stemmed from his difficulty in epting the situation.
But right now, he felt as though his entire heart had been dug out. It was an overwhelming pain that made it difficult for him to continue living!
Bai Qinghao tugged Fang Xinxin¡¯s little head over and prevented her from watching Fang Shaohua¡¯s heavy back view.
Even from behind, the man appeared to be in despair.
He could not help but suspect whether Fang Shaohua would jump off from the twentieth storey. That would be the best conclusion. It would be a glorious burial.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s attention was diverted by Bai Qinghao. She did not seem to pay much attention to Fang Shaohua. ¡°My brother doesn¡¯t seem to be very happy?¡±
Bai Qinghao sat down on the couch. He forcefully tugged her onto hisp. ¡°Who cares about how he feels?¡±
¡°He is my brother.¡± She pouted and responded. ¡°Since young, I¡¯ve treated him like my actual brother. How can I ignore his feelings?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched into a smile. He responded coldly. ¡°These words are pleasing to my ears.¡±
It was a pity that Fang Shaohua did not think the same.
If Fang Shaohua dared to yearn for his woman, he could easily send him back to jail anytime. In fact, it would be impossible for him to wash off his crimes for the rest of his life.
¡°No, my brother has always believed that I¡¯m obedient and that I won¡¯t do anything out of line.¡± Fang Xinxin thought about it and said, ¡°I should go exin myself to him...¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to exin?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Earlier, he said that it¡¯s normal for couples these days to have rtions before getting married. It means that he doesn¡¯t mind it.¡±
Chapter 324: She Understood Her Brother’s Feelings
Chapter 324: She Understood Her Brother¡¯s Feelings
¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Fang Xinxin responded naively.
She nced towards the kitchen and saw that Fang Shaohua¡¯s back view was stiff.
She struggled to imagine her brother¡¯s expression. She was certain that he was heartbroken.
¡°Don¡¯t speak about it anymore...¡±
Since young, her brother never said such a thing to her.
Instead, her brother often told her, ¡°Xinxin, your voice is so sweet. Will you tell me more? Your brother loves hearing you speak!¡±
In her previous life, she genuinely did not understand her brother¡¯s feelings for her.
But after having endured a lifetime, she came to understand quite enough.
When they were young, Fang Manxue had gifted toys to their brother just like her. However, he did not keep even a single one of them.
Yet, he treasured the ones she gave him dearly and had hidden them in his little box.
Fang Manxue had also requested for money from him. However, she only managed to receive a few thousand dors.
On the other hand, her brother gave her a million dors which was the entirety of his savings.
When her brother had been wrongly charged, she expected him to ask her to beg Bai Qinghao on his behalf. At the very least, she felt that he would have considered this option.
But instead, he firmly told her not to ask Bai Qinghao.
There was only one possible exnation for his actions. It was that he considered Bai Qinghao a rival in love, and was unwilling to owe him anything...
There were also many other seemingly normal details. However, when they were put together, the truth was far too obvious.
Unfortunately, she had already given her heart to Bai Qinghao. She did not have the space for any other man in her life.
This was also why she openly admitted to being Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman.
It was better to rip the band-aid off once and for all.
This way, her brother would recognise early on that it was impossible between the two of them.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao was especially prone to being jealous.
From the way he intentionally dered his possession of her in front of her brother indicated that he had already recognised her brother¡¯s feelings.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s character was merciless and ruthless. If her elder brother truly became an obstruction to their rtionship, she could not guarantee that he would not employ shady methods to harm him without her knowing. He had the ability to keep her brother locked up for the rest of his life.
She refused to take this risk.
As of now, her brother was keeping his feelings concealed from her. Thus, she chose to remain dumb.
Bai Qinghao saw that Fang Xinxin did not seem to notice Fang Shaohua¡¯s despair. His furrowed brows rxed gradually.
He refused to allow his own woman to be distracted by other men!
Fang Xinxin saw that Fang Shaohua seemed to be frozen for quite a few minutes. She felt that if she continued pretending to be a fool, she would be seen through. She raised her voice to ask him. ¡°Brother, why isn¡¯t the tap running if you¡¯re washing the dishes?¡±
Fang Shaohua swallowed painfully and forced himself to respond in a normal tone. ¡°I¡¯ll open the tap now.¡±
¡°Your voice doesn¡¯t sound right? Are you feeling unwell? I can wash the tes instead.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up from Bai Qinghao¡¯sp. She had only taken a step when he tugged her back. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go. Why does my fianc¨¦e have to wash dishes? Arrange for a helper to do these chores!¡±
Fang Shaohua washed his face with some cold water andposed his emotions before returning to the living room. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble CEO Bai. There¡¯ll be a helpering tomorrow morning to take care of these.¡±
Bai Qinghao saw that his emotions were barely under control. He sneered coldly.
Since Xinxin was unaware of Fang Shaohua¡¯s feelings, he would not bring it up.
He did not wish to see Fang Shaohua lose control. He did not mind Fang Shaohua dying. He only feared that Xinxin would be hurt.
He lifted his wrist and scanned his expensive, limited edition watch for the time. He tugged Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand and firmly dered. ¡°It¡¯ste. I¡¯m taking Xinxin back to the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
Chapter 325: Intentionally Throwing A Tantrum
Chapter 325: Intentionally Throwing A Tantrum
Clearly, he had decided and didn¡¯t intend to ask Fang Xinxin if she was willing.
Bai Qinghao abruptly lifted Fang Xinxin into a bridal carry. Fang Xinxin was caught off guard and cried out in surprise. ¡°Ah...¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gazended on Fang Xinxin. Although her face was covered in scabs, he was deeply attracted by her bright, clear gaze. He pursed his lips softly and spoke up almost pleadingly. ¡°It¡¯s alreadyte. Why not stay here?¡±
He meant for her to ¡®stay here¡¯, and not to stay for a night.
And clearly, he was only asking for Fang Xinxin¡¯s opinion.
To be honest, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached deeply because of her elder brother¡¯s pleading tone. She did wish to stay.
However...
If she remained here, Bai Qinghao would surely do the same.
She had already dealt her brother a heavy blow by acknowledging that she had be Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman. Was she supposed to stay longer to show off their affections for each other?
She released a long sigh internally and pretended to be innocent on the surface as she responded. ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for Qinghao to return from his business. I wish to spend more time with him.¡±
A rare hint of smile appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s stony features. He was clearly very pleased with Fang Xinxin¡¯s response.
He did not wait for Fang Shaohua to speak any further. He directly carried Fang Xinxin out of the apartment and into the elevator. His two bodyguards followed behind.
The moment they left, Fang Shaohua stumbled back onto the couch. He bent forward and buried his face into his palms. He cried in despair, tears escaping through the gaps of his fingers...
Inside the elevator, Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms. He felt her weight and furrowed his brows. ¡°You¡¯ve really lost too much weight. You¡¯re as light as a feather.¡±
Fang Xinxin leaned against his arms. She secretly searched each of his pockets before coldly speaking. ¡°Put me down.¡±
He was unmoved.
¡°I¡¯ll walk on my own!¡± she shouted.
Ding!
The elevator stopped at the underground carpark. Bai Qinghao appeared not to have heard anything as he carried her out. He headed for the Rolls-Royce business car parked nearby. Liu Li rushed forward to open the backseat door for him.
Bai Qinghao forcefully stuffed Fang Xinxin into the backseat before sitting down next to her.
Liu Li immediately climbed into the driver¡¯s seat. The other bodyguard sat down next to him. The car quickly drove out of the underground carpark.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was stiff. ¡°Send me home.¡±
¡°Return to the Yu Ting Vi,¡± Bai Qinghaomanded simply.
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Liu Li respectfully responded.
There was no confusion in his mind. He was responding only to his boss¡¯s orders.
Fang Xinxin saw that the car was driving in the direction of Yu Ting Vi and not the Fang home. She gloomily responded. ¡°I asked you to send me home.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was indifferent. ¡°Yu Ting Vi is your home. I¡¯m taking you home.¡±
¡°You... I meant the Fang home.¡± Fang Xinxin red at him in frustration. ¡°Do you believe I¡¯ll fucking jump out of the car?¡±
¡°Go ahead and give it a try.¡±
She was about to move when he continued coldly. ¡°Fang Shaohua will immediately move back to jail tomorrow.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin fell silent with a frigidly cold expression.
As expected, he was using her elder brother to threaten her!
However, she was well aware of his ruthless and merciless character. He was definitely not fooling around with her.
It hadn¡¯t been easy to obtain her elder brother¡¯s leave through medical reasons. She definitely could not allow him to be imprisoned again.
Bai Qinghao saw that she was stifled with anger. He closed his eyes and leaned back against the seat. He felt both the urge to smack her little butt and kiss her to death. ¡°Weren¡¯t you fine earlier? Why are you throwing a tantrum now?¡±
Chapter 326: I’m Not Yours
Chapter 326: I¡¯m Not Yours
Fang Xinxin was toozy to release even a fart.
Wasn¡¯t this all because he had yet to deal with Liu Li¡¯s matters?
Liu Li was still perfectly fine. Initially, she had struggled to process this. But after deliberating over it, she realised it was likely that Bai Qinghao had yet to see the video she sent him.
Furthermore, based on the current situation, it was possible that he didn¡¯t even read the messages she sent him while sitting in his bedroom.
In fact, he was still under the misconception that she was unwilling to share a bed with him. He also seemed to believe that she was angry at him for rifying her status on his own ord. Despite this, the noble and arrogant him had still been willing to put his face down toe look for her.
She was quite moved by this fact.
However, the loyal Liu Li truly had a poisonous mouth. She understood that Liu Li was not a simple bodyguard but a brother who had been through life and death situations with him.
She did not need him to cut ties with Liu Li for her. But this matter needed to be settled somehow.
If she immediately reconciled with him right now, Liu Li¡¯s ¡®punishment¡¯ would immediately be forgotten.
The longer she dragged this on, the clearer she could then see the extent to which Bai Qinghao would give in for her. Furthermore, this method would also torture Liu Li. What was wrong about doing this?
Fang Xinxin felt that the word ¡®kind¡¯ was suitable for her in her previous life. As of now... she had already turned cunning and would likely never change.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m ordering you to exin this!¡± A hint of frustration could be heard in Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice. His expression was stony.
Most people would have already peed their pants. However, she only rewarded him with a short response. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not your subordinate.¡±
As Liu Li drove, he paid close attention to Fang Xinxin¡¯s interaction with his boss. He felt that this ugly woman was full of nonsense.
It was no wonder they said that ugly women were extremely problematic.
It would be best if his boss grew to hate her and threw her out of the car. Then, he would happily watch her toss around on the highway till she rolled to her death.
Bai Qinghao saw that his stony expression failed to scare her. He kept away his impatience and began softly coaxing her. ¡°Be good. Tell me. Why are you angry?¡±
In the business world, he was capable of analysing things efficiently and picking his opponents¡¯ schemes... he was adept at achieving everything.
But he waspletely helpless when it came to understanding a woman¡¯s heart.
This was because after living for twenty-five years, he had only ever dated her.
Did he actually date her?
He was also confused as to whether the two of them were in the midst of dating.
He only knew that she was already his woman. Even her heart could only belong to him!
¡°I¡¯m not your subordinate!¡± She threw the same response again.
What she meant was that she had the right to ignore him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s stony features instantly darkened. He sternly warned her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, there is a limit to my patience!¡±
¡°I enjoy challenging the extreme. Sir, you don¡¯t have to take my personality to heart.¡±
¡°Very good, you¡¯re even addressing me as ¡®sir¡¯.¡± Bai Qinghao gritted his teeth. ¡°There¡¯s no way you¡¯ll be able to escape me!¡±
He hauled her over and held the back of her head firmly...
Just as Liu Li and the bodyguard by his side assumed that Fang Xinxin was about to be tossed out of the car making for a glorious sight, Bai Qinghao bent down. He held Fang Xinxin¡¯s head firmly and pressed her body down before forcing a heavy kiss on her soft lips.
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. She did not expect to be kissed again. Although she felt a little gloomy, she was not actually really angry.
She was also helpless. He was strong to the point where she waspletely unable to move. She wanted to escape his grip but failed to do so.
Liu Li and the other bodyguard were astonished for a moment. They suddenly felt a thousand crows flying past their heads...
Fang Xinxin was considered to be thin now. But her face was horrendously disfigured. How did their great boss manage to kiss her?
Chapter 327: Rewarding With A Kiss
Chapter 327: Rewarding With A Kiss
Fang Xinxin was helpless and did not resist his kiss.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s aura was filled with dissatisfaction, but as sheplied with his kiss, all of it dissipated. His ice-cold, frozen heart also melted into honeyed sweet warmth.
Although he usually disdained romantic rtionships, he finally understood what others meant when they said that even the toughest men had their soft sides!
At this moment, Liu Li felt some admiration for Fang Xinxin.
Boss hated pretentious women. Yet, this woman did not die from the act she put on. Instead, Boss even rewarded her with... a very long kiss.
Liu Li had a headache. He was facing a powerful enemy!
The more Boss valued Fang Xinxin, this fattie, the worse the consequences for his earlier mistake would be...
As he stared ahead at the traffic light, his gloomy mood almost turned his heart grey.
When they arrived at the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard, Bai Qinghao carried Fang Xinxin out of the car.
She was busy catching her breath.
Bai Qinghao, this crazy pervert, actually forcefully kissed her the entire trip here. Her lips were swollen from being sucked!
Butler Zhao led more than twenty helpers with him. Although it waste in the evening, they still bowed to greet her. ¡°Wee home, Miss Fang!¡±
Fang Xinxin was stifled with anger from the aching pain in her lips. She nced at the neat row of helpers. ¡°Instead of sleeping like normal people, what the heck are all of you doing in the middle of the night?¡±
Zhao Cheng responded quietly in his heart. ¡°We don¡¯t wish to do this either, but these are Young Master¡¯s orders. We can onlyply.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, you left without telling us anything. Our Young Master was really worried...¡± Zhao Cheng was not trying to tter her. He was simply speaking the truth.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gazended on him like a pair of sharp knives. It frightened his heart into trembling. His forehead was covered in sweat and he decided that it was best to speak less and focus more on his work.
¡°Aiyo, Bai Qinghao, it turns out that you care about me so much.¡± Fang Xinxin, on the other hand, smiled.
¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯splexion was frigid. Her words left him frustrated, yet her smile eased the irritation in his heart.
Sheughed without concealing anything. ¡°I refuse to. This sure is interesting. CEO Bai, you actually were impatient to the point where you couldn¡¯t stay at home and had to go out to search for me.¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. His sharp gazended on her and he spoke in a warning tone. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you very pleased with yourself?¡±
¡°I am... very much pleased with myself.¡± She was extremely honest.
¡°No one has ever dared to be pleased with themselves in front of me.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded coldly. ¡°Liu Li, tell her. What happened to thest person who dared to do so?¡±
¡°His lips were torn off, his limbs were severed and he was tossed into the ocean to feed the sharks. Two dayster, someone managed to fish out pieces of his corpse.¡±
That man had been a spy from their enemy¡¯s side. Boss did not do anything personally. He simply released the news that this man had betrayed the country. After that, he was naturally dealt with by the country.
Fang Xinxin did not suspect if this was the truth. She believed that Bai Qinghao was capable of doing anything when provoked.
Bai Qinghao watched her ambiguous smile with a searching gaze. ¡°Do you want to be the next one?¡±
¡°How do you n on dealing with me? I have to remind you. I¡¯m your woman.¡±
Herst few words left his heart pleased. He lifted her up into a horizontal carry and headed into the vi.
A crowd of helpers stretched their necks and heard their young master dere that he would only give her one percent of the punishment which the earlier person received.
One percent of having one¡¯s corpse severed? Would that indicate losing only one hand? Or losing a foot?
¡°Will I lose my fingernails then?¡± By the time they heard Fang Xinxin¡¯s confused response, she was already being taken upstairs.
Chapter 328: Losing Ten Nails
Chapter 328: Losing Ten Nails
A group of helpers, including the bodyguards, felt that Fang Xinxin had gone insane. How could it possibly be that easy!
Fang Xinxin had simrly miscalcted.
There was no way she would lose only one nail.
It was ten times more severe. She lost ten nails!
In the extravagant main bedroom on the third floor, Bai Qinghao sat on the chair leaning against the windows. He ced Fang Xinxin on hisp and used the nail cutter to personally help her trim her nails.
Butler Zhao held a tray and stood by the side to wait.
His great young master was actually helping this ugly woman with a chore that was usually left to subordinates.
Zhao Cheng felt extremely resentful. However, to be the head butler in the Yu Ting Vi meant that his ability to conceal and endure was top notch.
Even if he had any opinion, he could only pretend as though he did not see anything.
Bai Qinghao thoughtfully trimmed all ten nails of Fang Xinxin. He then ced the nail cutter back into the fabric-lined case on the tray.
Fang Xinxin scanned the four fabric-lined cases on the tray. They contained gold-coloured nail cutters and nail buffs. ¡°Why are the nail cutters gold in colour?¡±
Butler Zhao respectfully responded to her. ¡°Replying to Miss Fang, these are meant for Young Master¡¯s private use. They are made with gold.¡±
Fuck!
This was Fang Xinxin¡¯s first time seeing a nail cutter made from gold. Furthermore, it was made with extremely advanced craftsmanship. It appeared like a beautiful piece of art and was clearly even more valuable than a block of gold alone.
Bai Qinghao picked up the thin nail buffer and began smoothing the rough edges on Fang Xinxin¡¯s nails.
Fang Xinxin felt that his movements were extremely familiar, without even turning around.
In her previous life, he had never done this for her. Their rtionship had been poor and she never gave him the opportunity to do so.
She did not expect the noble and arrogant Bai Qinghao to have such a gentle and doting side.
¡°Who usually cuts your young master¡¯s nails?¡±
She carelessly asked.
Normally, his young master did not like others probing into his personal life.
But Fang Xinxin clearly seemed to possess a significant portion of his young master¡¯s heart.
Zhao Cheng saw that Bai Qinghao did not seem to have any objection to her question. He considered it for a moment before responding. ¡°At the Yu Ting Vi, a subordinate will assist him. Outside the vi, the young master will do it on his own.¡±
Since Fang Xinxin¡¯s previous life, she understood that Bai Qinghao had been born with a gold spoon in his mouth. He was not only much more outstanding than others, even the way he lived was extremely extravagant.
It was only in special circumstances that he was less picky.
She leaned against Bai Qinghao¡¯s broad and firm embrace, enjoying the service from the most noble of male gods in this world. As she received the luxurious treatment that no other person could possibly obtain, she felt really pleased.
At the same time, she also began to feel deeply moved.
After her nails were trimmed, Butler Zhao retreated with the tray. He returned with a ss of milk and a cup of coffee quickly.
The coffee was ced down on the coffee table. Fang Xinxin tried to reach for it but Butler Zhao said apologetically, ¡°My apologies, Miss Fang. The coffee is for Young Master.¡±
He then handed the milk to her. ¡°This is for you.¡±
¡°I want to drink coffee,¡± she insisted.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was stern. He said unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s in the middle of the night. What are you drinking coffee for?¡±
It wasn¡¯t good for her body.
¡°Then you¡¯re not allowed to drink it either!¡± In fact, she did not actually want the coffee. She simply did not want him to drink it at this time. It wasn¡¯t good for his sleep.
¡°How about we share the milk?¡± After saying this, she drank two gulps of the milk and handed the cup over to him.
Zhao Cheng wanted to respond that the Young Master would never share a cup with someone else.
Chapter 329: Hidden Love Rival
Chapter 329: Hidden Love Rival
However, as he recalled the special treatment which Fang Xinxin had repeatedly received, he swallowed his words back down.
As expected, Bai Qinghao took the ss of milk from her and finished it.
He wasn¡¯t sure what magic Fang Xinxin possessed. His young master¡¯s mysophobia disappeared entirely when it came to her.
Sigh! Butler Zhao sighed heavily internally in worry.
Fang Xinxin sat on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp and faced him. Even the way he drank the milk was unbelievably handsome.
Thebination of his thick, ck brows, thin and sharp nose, peach-coloured lips and perfect jawline was a killer. When he swallowed, the shift in his Adam¡¯s apple was seductive to the point where it could charm all the women in this world!
She wanted to bed him, bed him, bed him to death!
Her gaze was filled with thirst. She secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Bai Qinghao was a man with keen senses. How could he not notice her starving gaze fixed on him?
This damn woman. He wasn¡¯t sure which screw of hers was loose. She was clearly interested in him, yet she was still pretending to be angry!
Bai Qinghao made a subtle movement with his hand.
Butler Zhao immediately noticed it and retreated. He thoughtfully shut the bedroom door for his young master.
Zhao Cheng had just approached the staircase at the end of the hallway when bodyguard Liu Li approached him. ¡°Butler Zhao, earlier, Fang Xinxin was clearly asking for a beating. It can¡¯t be that she didn¡¯t lose even a single nail.¡±
¡°How could she not?¡± His admiration had yet to fade away.
Liu Li sighed in relief. He patted his own chest and he finally rxed. ¡°I already said it. No one dares to be that arrogant in front of Boss. She was only pursuing her own death...¡±
Zhao Cheng cut his chatter off firmly. ¡°She lost ten fingernails. Young Master said that her nails needed to be trimmed and even personally helped her do it. Brother Liu, I noticed that you were being sneaky, as though you couldn¡¯t wait for Fang Xinxin to meet with misfortune. Did you offend her?¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you ask if she offended me instead?¡±
¡°If she offends you, she¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± Zhao Cheng was always brutally honest. ¡°But if you offend her, you¡¯re doomed.¡±
Liu Li¡¯s face fell. ¡°Is it that obvious? Brother Zhao, your eyes are as sharp as ever. All I said was that Fang Xinxin¡¯s appearance is too ugly to be seen and isn¡¯t suited to be by Boss¡¯s side. And that she got chased out of Boss¡¯s room... I never expected Fang Xinxin, that cunning girl to record everything. She sent Boss a video on WeChat.¡±
Butler Zhao Cheng immediately understood the situation. ¡°Young Master¡¯s private handphone is still turned off. He hasn¡¯t seen the video yet.¡±
He casually sized the man up. Otherwise, would bodyguard Liu be able to stand here unharmed?
¡°My good brother, tell me. What should I do now?¡± Liu Li appeared extremely overwhelmed.
Zhao Cheng patted his shoulderfortingly and responded in a heavy tone. ¡°Only God can save you now!¡±
At this moment, Liu Li¡¯splexion was paler than that of white paint. He was extremely sleepy, but whenever he thought of the video, his drowsiness went away.
...
Inside the main bedroom, Bai Qinghaoid Fang Xinxin down on the luxurious,rge bed.
This bed was far too enormous andfortable. The moment sheid down on it, she did not feel like moving. Still, she sat up. ¡°You should be sleeping soon. I¡¯ll go to the guest room.¡±
It was already past midnight. She would not insist on returning to the Fang home.
¡°Fang Xinxin, what exactly are you angry about?¡± Bai Qinghao frowned.
All of a sudden, his gaze turned heavy and he questioned her coldly. ¡°Could it be that you like Fang Shaohua?¡±
As he asked this, he felt his heart growing nervous.
She had grown up with Fang Shaohua in the same home. From a young age, they were close childhood friends. Furthermore, Fang Shaohua, that man, was indeed more outstanding than most people.
If he wasn¡¯t a convict, he would definitely be one of his hidden love rivals.
Chapter 330: Repairing Family Relationship
Chapter 330: Repairing Family Rtionship
Fang Xinxin rolled her eyes at him in disbelief. ¡°Have you gone mad? You actually asked me such a question!¡±
He had indeed gone mad. At the thought that there could be another man in her heart, the overwhelming jealousy was sufficient to drive him insane.
Bai Qinghao was extremely anxious internally. His expression was dark while he red at Fang Xinxin.
If she dared to say yes, no matter whether Fang Shaohua had been wronged or not, he would ensure Fang Shaohua would be thrown back into jail for the rest of his life!
He gritted his teeth. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for your answer.¡±
Fang Xinxin was simrly angered. However, she knew that this man¡¯s jealousy was unlike that of normal men. She did not dare to use her elder brother as a joke. ¡°What kind of like are you referring to?¡±
¡°I¡¯m obviously talking about the kind that exists between a man and a woman!¡± He subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails into his palms and nearly cutting into his skin.
In fact, Fang Xinxin was aware that as long as she coaxed Bai Qinghao a little and said that he was the only man who possessed her heart, this matter would be finished.
However, she did not wish to be so careless.
She also did not wish for him to misunderstand her rtionship with her brother. This would only threaten her elder brother¡¯s safety in the future.
She said coldly, ¡°There aren¡¯t any ambiguous feelings between Fang Shaohua and I. Think about it yourself. My elder brother was jailed for three years and throughout this period, I only visited him once. I never asked about it even once. Furthermore, I¡¯ve never even begged you to help him. If I truly had special feelings for him, would my actions make sense? Back then, I would surely have already asked you to keep him out of jail.¡±
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Right now, I wish to overturn my elder brother¡¯s case because I¡¯m thoroughly disappointed with the Fang family. My elder brother is the only one who genuinely cares for me as a family member. I feel that I should repair this rtionship with him.¡±
She did not expect her foolish behaviour from herst life to be a good reason for her actions in her current life.
However, these words were all true.
It was unfortunate that Hei Xiao seemed to have met with some problems. Their efficiency was normally miraculously high, yet there wasn¡¯t any news about Wang Liangping whatsoever.
She almost suspected that their reputation was dishonest advertising.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression finally softened. It seemed like he believed in her. He forcefully brought her into his arms, his warm breathnding on her neck. ¡°You weren¡¯t protecting your body for Bai Chenxi or Fang Shaohua. Furthermore, you¡¯re already my woman. In that case, why won¡¯t you let me touch you?¡±
After losing weight, her figure was indeed outstanding. Her waist was thin and her legs were long and slender. Her figure was just right.
As she said, if she lost a little more weight, her figure would be perfect.
Furthermore, after not having met for some time, her skin had fully recovered its previously fair tone...
He caressed her long hair cherishingly. The soft locks brushed against his fingers like silk.
Fang Xinxin blushed shyly. She was trapped in his arms and her heartbeat was elerating.
Originally, she had nned on stubbornly giving him a cold-shoulder to ensure Liu Li¡¯s misfortune.
But it seemed like Liu Li was far luckier than she had expected.
¡°I already told you the reason.¡± She did not wish for him to continue misunderstanding.
He lifted his dark brows. ¡°En?¡±
¡°You haven¡¯t seen the messages I sent you, did you?¡±
¡°When?¡±
¡°Back when you were showering.¡± At the thought of this, she felt angry. The earlier, warm emotions all dissipated in a moment. She shoved him aside. ¡°Why did you fucking hang up on my call earlier?¡±
Chapter 331: Lost Compensation
Chapter 331: Lost Compensation
Fuck, it was a big grievance!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed into a harsh frown. ¡°I didn¡¯t hang up on your call. My phone ran out of battery.¡±
¡°What...¡± This time, she was the one who was dumbstruck.
Why were things different from what she imagined?
He took in her surprised little expression and felt the urge to p her butt. He harshly responded. ¡°You little fool, what were you thinking in your heart?¡±
Since young, whenever he approached her, she would avoid him with every method avable.
Only God knew how moved and happy he was each time she paid him any attention, especially when she appeared to be pleased to be with him.
Even if he had a screw loose, he wouldn¡¯t have hung up on her.
Fang Xinxin fell silent. She quietly peeked at his ice-cold expression. She had misunderstood him... what now?
¡°You dared to misunderstand me!¡± The cold aura emitting from his body nearly froze the entire room. The freezing cold left her trembling.
Sheughed awkwardly with some fear. She tried to exin herself. ¡°Handsome, I...¡±
¡°I don¡¯t wish to listen to any excuses.¡± He expressionlessly cut her off. ¡°I don¡¯t need your apology either. Be more direct. How do you n onpensating me?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart nearly skipped a beat from his stern gaze. She gathered up her courage to respond. ¡°I¡¯m not trying toe up with any excuses. How would I have known that your phone ran out of battery?¡±
¡°Even if you didn¡¯t know that my phone was out of battery, why did you run away from the Yu Ting Vi before I was done showering?¡± His expression revealed his anger and his tone was frigid cold.
His aura was dark to the point where anyone would be frightened. ¡°If you didn¡¯t run, would there be any misunderstandings?¡±
¡°I sent you a message. You were the one who didn¡¯t check...¡± Her arguments became softer.
Fang Xinxin realised she seemed to be on the losing end here. But he also had some responsibility. And so, were they even now?
He did not wish to tell her that his heart had grown flustered when she left without leaving any word behind.
As a result, he wasn¡¯t even in the mood to check his phone.
In fact, he was not in the mood to check either of his phones regardless if it were any news about his work or private life.
In any case, if there truly were urgent work, his bodyguards would have informed him.
If she were any other woman, he would already have shot her to death.
Of course, from the moment they met when they were young, he had already acknowledged her. Since then, he did not take a single look at any other women.
He did not wish to listen to any more of her excuses. He directly kissed her.
Her expression turned urgent and her clear voice trembled slightly. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you can¡¯t do this!¡±
¡°I¡¯m just collecting thepensation I deserve.¡±
He wasn¡¯t someone toe up with tricks. He preferred being efficient and direct with what he wanted.
¡°You were supposed to have yourpensation but it¡¯s been withdrawn!¡± She dered firmly as though this was very serious.
Even if she had decided to make up with him sooner than nned and reduce Liu Li¡¯s consequences, she refused to allow that man to go scot-free with his cheap mouth.
He furrowed his dark, charming brows and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was clearly unhappy. ¡°Why has it been withdrawn?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t discipline your subordinate well.¡±
¡°Who?¡± Bai Qinghai recalled that earlier in the car, Liu Li mentioned the consequences if he made a mistake. At the time, he did not have the mood to pay attention to his words, but now he was certain. ¡°Liu Li?¡±
¡°You sure guessed urately. It¡¯s him. Go check your phone!¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s period was here.
The intimate atmosphere between them could not intensify any further. Otherwise, the consequences would be difficult to face. Shetried her best to push him away as he pressed her down.
However, his body was as firm as a mountain. Regardless of how much force she applied, she could not ward him off.
Chapter 332: Injection
Chapter 332: Injection
¡°A message isn¡¯t as urgent as this.¡± He did not have any mood to check his messages. Instead, what he wanted was...
He took in her fair skin and said heavily, ¡°Fang Xinxin, in the future, you¡¯re not allowed to tan your skin anymore!¡±
It was a demandingmand and not a negotiation. ¡°Every inch of you... belongs to me!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t do it again.¡± She regretted her previous foolish decisions.
It hadn¡¯t been easy trying to get her skin to return to its original tone. She would be a fool if she tried to darken her skin tone again.
His cold and distant gaze appeared pleased at her obedient reply. He lifted his hand and gently caressed her long hair. The intention in his eyes was clear. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao, it¡¯s not convenient now...¡± She was helpless. This really was not up to her. She had no choice.
He ignored her and was about to proceed further.
Fang Xinxin urgently whispered in his ears. ¡°I... my great-aunt is here.¡± [1. In Chinese, ¡®my great-aunt is visiting¡¯ is a metaphor for a woman¡¯s period.]
Regardless of how unfamiliar Bai Qinghao was with women, he still understood this. ¡°Is this why you rejected me earlier?¡±
¡°Obviously!¡±
Although she raised her voice, he was not upset. Instead, he felt some joy in his heart.
Thankfully, she was not protecting her body for any other man.
He nearly had to employ all his restraint to move away from the bed.
Right now, it was inconvenient for her. He was not a bastard who would put her body at risk to do such a thing.
He had already instructed the helpers to fill up a portion of the closet in the main bedroom with her clothes.
He personally retrieved a new set of clothes and handed it to her. After that, he quickly left the room.
Fang Xinxin saw that his movements were almost stiff from the way he was restraining himself. She hurriedly changed her clothes and tried to keep up with his pace. However, she was still one step behind.
She searched the enormous study room and the extravagant living room on the first floor but could not find him. She asked one of the helpers on the night shift. ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°Young Master went out,¡± the helper responded respectfully.
¡°Where did he go?¡± She continued asking.
¡°He did not inform us.¡± The helper shook his head.
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out to give Bai Qinghao a call but heard his ringtone from the staircase.
Butler Zhao held Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone as he descended from the stairs. He approached her and respectfully informed her. ¡°Miss Fang, Young Master did not take his phone with him. He left instructions for me to wait for him in the living room.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll wait for him too, then.¡± She sat down on the luxurious sofa in the living room and rubbed her forehead to ease her headache. She reached for the remote control on the coffee table to switch the television on.
She carelessly switched through a few channels. From military rted media to animal documentaries to ridiculous dramas... However, she soon found that she couldn¡¯t focus on any of it.
She was too worried about Bai Qinghao.
She felt a lot flustered internally and decided to switch the television off.
After ten minutes, Bai Qinghao returned. Fang Xinxin saw him entering through the door and rushed to wee him. She urgently asked him. ¡°Where did you go?¡± The concern in her voice could not be mistaken for anything else.
Her concern caused his heart to warm up. However, he still responded coldly and in a distant manner as was his habit. ¡°Nothing much. I went out for a walk and stood in the breeze for a while.¡±
He would never let her know that a simple cold shower was useless for him.
He called a doctor over and received an injection with tranquilizing effects. Of course, this also had to be concealed from her, to prevent her from worrying.
Fang Xinxin saw that hisplexion was fine and gradually rxed. ¡°Alright then.¡±
Bai Qinghao took off his thick,rge coat and ced it over her shoulders. He furrowed his brows in heartache. ¡°It¡¯s cold at night. Don¡¯t catch a chill.¡±
Chapter 333: Look At The Video
Chapter 333: Look At The Video
Bai Qinghao took off his thick,rge coat and ced it over her shoulders. He furrowed his brows in heartache. ¡°It¡¯s cold at night. Don¡¯t catch a chill.¡±
His coat wasrge and still carried his heat. Both her body and heart instantly felt warmed up. ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡±
He thoughtfully guided her towards the couch, as though his heart was hurting for his most cherished person in this world.
Butler Zhao Cheng held both his phones in his hands.
Bai Qinghao took them from him. He kept his work-use phone in his phone and unlocked the private one with his fingerprint. He began reading the messages in an orderly manner.
As expected, Fang Xinxin saw that all the messages she had sent him earlier were unread.
He tapped on their conversation and saw the first message from her: [A bastard who isn¡¯t even suited to hold my shoes...]
She nced at it from the side. His expression had abruptly turned dark.
¡°I¡¯m a bastard, en?¡± His sharp, cold eyesnded on her.
Fang Xinxin instantly shivered from his freezing cold gaze. She smiled. ¡°Hehe... I didn¡¯t say that.¡±
He then scrolled down to see: [That¡¯s Bai Chenxi. Or do you think he is suited to hold your shoes?]
She had mischievously written that Bai Chenxi was the person who was not suited to even hold his shoes.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gloomy expression vanished instantly. He continued to read the next message.
[I¡¯m not trying to protect my body. My period is here. In fact, now that you¡¯re back, I also wish to.... By the way, you took charge of the situation to rify my name, but I¡¯m not angry about it. I¡¯m very thankful. Earlier, when you gave the speech at the event, you were really charming.]
It turned out she was willing to dere herself as his fianc¨¦e.
She even wrote that he was charming...
The words left Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitching in joy.
Furthermore, in the third message, she wrote that she wouldpensate him well after her period.
All the despondency in his heart dissipated. He was emitting joy from within. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned close to her ear to whisper. ¡°You didn¡¯t write clearly in your message. What do you also wish for?¡±
To roll in the bed with you, ah.
She responded this way internally but appeared proper on the outside. ¡°Nothing much.¡±
The ambiguous seduction in his cold, heavy voice could not be concealed. ¡°You said that you¡¯llpensate me in a few days.¡±
At this moment, Liu Li seemed to have appeared from nowhere. He bowed respectfully and peeked at the phone that his boss was holding. He carefully said, ¡°Boss, you were looking for me?¡±
Bai Qinghao seemed to be in a good mood. Could it be that he was not angry, and instead acknowledged that Liu Li¡¯s words made sense?
He had already said it. How could Fang Xinxin, the ugly woman, be suitable for his great boss?
He wondered how his boss had swallowed her down when he ate her up.
He had truly worried for nothing all this time. If he had known that the video would be useless, he would not have feared this for so long.
Fang Xinxin intentionally reminded Bai Qinghao with a dark expression. ¡°WeChat. You haven¡¯t seen the video that I sent you.¡±
¡°What? Boss hasn¡¯t seen the video yet...¡± Liu Li assumed he had escaped a trap and was about to rx.
However, upon hearing this, he immediately became wary. ¡°Boss, Miss Fang sent you a rather meaningless video. I think it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t watch it. Just delete. Really, there¡¯s nothing much to see...¡±
Bai Qinghao red at him coldly. His sharp eyes frightened Liu Li into silence immediately.
He tapped on his phone screen and opened the video that Fang Xinxin had sent him. The video immediately began ying.
¡°It has only been twenty minutes since Boss carried you into his room... It¡¯s clear he didn¡¯t touch you. He must have asked you to scram...¡±
Chapter 334: Shoot To Death
Chapter 334: Shoot To Death
¡°Our amazing Boss has finally thought things through! With your... horrific appearance, it¡¯s only normal that he struggled to eat you.¡±
Liu Li¡¯s chatter went on and on and on.
Fang Xinxin held onto her fake smile. ¡°In that case, it seems like you don¡¯t think I¡¯m fit to be with your boss?¡±
¡°Obviously.¡±
She then sighed in the video.¡±Your boss treats me really well. I was deeply moved by his actions and had nned to spend the next few days properly pensating¡¯ him...¡±
The summary of the matter was that the pensation¡¯ she had nned to give was swatted away by Liu Li¡¯sments about her being ugly and being a poor match for his boss. Due to his actions, even his employer was implicated.
Liu Li saw that his boss¡¯s expression was growing darker. Bai Qinghao¡¯s entire body seemed to be enveloped in a vicious, frigid aura. The sight of him was even more frightening than that of the King of Hell. His legs immediately began trembling in fright.
Bai Qinghao finally finished watching the video. He narrowed his eyes at Liu Li and his powerful aura nearly froze the entire ce. ¡°Liu Li, It seems like you have a lot of opinions about my private life. Have you been too free recently?¡±
Although it sounded like a casual question, Liu Li¡¯s teeth immediately began chattering. ¡°No... no. I... I...¡±
He was frightened to the point where he could not even speak coherently.
Uu, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have run his mouth off like that.
¡°Since you¡¯re free to the point where you have the time to worry about my private matters...¡± Bai Qinghao reached for the box of cigars on the coffee table and lit one of them. He then took a draw from it in a graceful movement. The smoke that escaped his lips formed a wispy cloud in front of him. ¡°... I will personallye up with a n for you. You will attend three days of special training.¡±
Liu Li instantly turned pale and cried in fright. ¡°No!¡±
Fang Xinxin, however, was not satisfied. ¡°Liu Li¡¯s mouth is so cheap. He criticised me as though there isn¡¯t anything good about me. You¡¯re only punishing him with three days of special training? Hmph, you¡¯re so biased towards this rotten bodyguard. I don¡¯t want to talk to you for the rest of my life!¡±
She stood up from the couch and was about to leave in anger.
Bai Qinghao easily hauled her back. He replied unhappily in a heavy voice. ¡°This is all it takes to make you angry? How could he possiblypete with you? If you¡¯re unhappy, I¡¯ll shoot him to death right now!¡±
¡°No way, Boss...¡± Liu Li never knew that his Boss would do this to him for Fang Xinxin.
He wanted to cry. ¡°We¡¯ve been through life and death together. As they say, women are receable like clothes, but brothers are irreceable like limbs. She¡¯s just a woman...¡±
Fang Xinxin casually responded. ¡°Bai Qinghao, don¡¯t listen to him. If you lose an arm or a leg, you can still be considered presentable. But if you lose your clothes, with your status, are you supposed to walk around naked? That¡¯s worse than dying.¡±
Liu Li truly felt like crying. Why did this ugly woman¡¯s words... seem to make sense?
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghao nodded coldly. ¡°You are right!¡±
He waved his hand. ¡°Drag him out to be shot to death!¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± Two bodyguards stepped in from outside to carry out his orders.
Liu Li shot Bai Qinghao a look of utter despair and misery. ¡°If my boss wishes for my death, I have no choice but to obey.¡±
Butler Zhao Cheng stepped forward to beg for mercy. ¡°Young Master, Bodyguard Liu Li has always been loyal to you. I¡¯m sure that today¡¯s mistake doesn¡¯t warrant his death. Please spare his life.¡±
Liu Li immediately shot him a look of gratitude. My good brother!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was cold and ruthless. He left no space to negotiate. ¡°If you offend Fang Xinxin, the punishment is death.¡±
Fang Xinxin was extremely moved.
She never expected for Bai Qinghao, the ruler of an empire, to be willing to kill his most loyal bodyguard for her.
In her previous life, she had learned that his closest bodyguards signed a secret agreement to give their lives up for him. If instead, they died by Bai Qinghao¡¯s hands over a small mistake, it would truly be a waste of their lives.
Chapter 335: The Most Outstanding Madam
Chapter 335: The Most Outstanding Madam
Liu Li appeared as though he had died internally. His expression had fallen while he was being dragged outside. His boss¡¯s words helped him to understand his offence. All of a sudden, he began shouting at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Madam, please save me! If you save me, I¡¯ll sing praises about you every single day. But if I really die, when I be a ghost, I...¡±
Won¡¯t let you off.
Before he could continue speaking, he received his boss¡¯s stern, warning gaze. He immediately gave in and changed his words. ¡°Uu... I will continue praying for you sincerely.¡±
Fang Xinxin remained unmoved. She appeared not to have heard anything.
Liu Li began an endless stream of praises for her. ¡°Madam, you are as beautiful as a bouquet of flowers. Your figure is outstanding and your talent is unmatched in this world. You possess amazing charisma. You¡¯re attractive in every possible way...¡±
The two bodyguards were after all Liu Li¡¯s colleagues. They held him down at the living room entrance and waited to see if he had any chance for survival.
Fang Xinxin scanned the enormous living room but did not find any other women. ¡°Where¡¯s this so-called Madam?¡±
¡°Miss Fang, it¡¯s you.¡± Liu Li immediately ttered her. ¡°You are Madam. The most outstanding Madam!¡±
¡°Did you get the wrong person?¡± Fang Xinxin appeared confused as she returned his words to him. ¡°With my horrific appearance, your boss won¡¯t even be able to eat me.¡± She shook her head, sighed and waved her hand in dismissal. ¡°How could I possibly be the so-called outstanding Madam you described!¡±
Liu Li went against his conscience fearing the consequences. ¡°I was blind. You are definitely a diamond in disguise.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened. He spoke up coldly in reprimand. ¡°What do you mean by diamond in disguise... she is clearly a bright, shining diamond!¡± She was constantly drawing him in.
When Liu Li heard the first few words, he assumed that his boss had finally taken a proper look at Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugly appearance. However, when he heard the remaining part of the sentence, he could only nod in heartache. ¡°Boss sees it the most clearly.¡±
He sped his fingers together and made a begging gesture. ¡°Kind Madam, won¡¯t you let me off? As long as you ask Boss for mercy, this little one will be able to survive.¡±
¡°Although I¡¯m reluctant, I¡¯ll give it a shot.¡± Fang Xinxin naturally understood that Liu Li, the bastard, was being untruthful. Although he was praising her on the outside, internally, he must be insulting her thoroughly.
Nevermind! In the future, she would definitely impress him.
In their past life, Liu Li eventually died whilst protecting Bai Qinghao.
It wasn¡¯t time for him to die yet. He still needed to live in order to protect Bai Qinghao.
Thus, for the sake of her beloved man, Fang Xinxin could only begrudgingly say, ¡°Bai Qinghao, why don¡¯t you spare Eunuch Liu¡¯s life?¡±
This time, Liu Li was the one who was confused. ¡°May I know where the eunuch came from?¡±
Several other people, who were present, had yet to react. Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched. Even the smoke that escaped his lips in wispy circles appeared to be amused.
His fianc¨¦e was truly bing more and more interesting!
Fang Xinxin pointed at Liu Li and appeared as though it made perfect sense. ¡°You. Didn¡¯t you say that, if your boss wishes for your death, you have no choice but to die? You¡¯re the eunuch working by the King¡¯s side. It was the hormonal imbnces in your body that led to your mistake of offending the King¡¯s wife. This is understandable. Your mistake doesn¡¯t deserve death.¡±
She exined especially well and appeared to make a lot of sense. Butler Zhao and the remaining two butlers could not conceal the smile in their eyes.
Liu Li was a hardened man. How could he possibly ept this injustice? He resisted it with all his might. ¡°I¡¯m not Eunuch Liu!¡± If rumours of this incident spread, how was he supposed to go on living?
Fang Xinxin abruptly understood. ¡°Oh yes, I made a mistake. Court Eunuch Liu.¡±
¡°...¡±
Liu Li had no counterargument to offer. His little life was still in her hands. His youthful face had turned red as he gritted his teeth and endured his anger.
Chapter 336: Liu Li’s punishment.
Chapter 336: Liu Li¡¯s punishment.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s sparkly eyes appeared to contain many emotions. She shot Bai Qinghao an electrifying look and tugged intimately on his arm. ¡°Honey!¡±
If her soft, sweet voice hade from a beautiful woman, it would have been a lovely sight. It was unfortunate that her face was covered in scabs and they couldn¡¯t even see her features clearly.
Butler Zhao Cheng and the three bodyguards present, including Liu Li, all felt their goosebumps rising.
Bai Qinghao alone appeared to be enjoying this. His sharp, cold gaze turned slightly gentle. He understood that she intended on asking for mercy on Liu Li¡¯s behalf. ¡°I only ept exchanges of equal value.¡±
¡°What would be of equal value?¡± She blinked her sparkling eyes.
Bai Qinghao whispered into her ears softly so that she was the only one who could hear him.
Fang Xinxin shouted in disbelief. ¡°What? You want me topensate you with my body!¡±
She had raised her voice intentionally. It was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fault for always appearing icy-cold and unmoved. There were barely any emotions on his face.
She would add some vours to her cool and handsome idol. What a wonderful situation this was!
The butler and the three bodyguards were all dumbstruck. ck lines seemed to appear on their heads.
They all felt that there was no way their boss could have made such a request, right?
After all, most normal men would find Fang Xinxin extremely ugly.
¡°...¡±
Bai Qinghao did not expect her to expose him. His face instantly turned cold and was stony to the point of being frightening.
Fang Xinxin took in his reddened ears and guessed that he was secretly embarrassed.
Even when the great God became embarrassed, he was still charming to the point of leaving one excited.
She shot Liu Li a look of dissatisfaction. ¡°Did you see that? In order to save your little life, this youngdy has to sleep with your boss. How do you n on repaying me?¡±
¡°This...¡± Liu Li felt that she had actually struck a lottery to get the opportunity to sleep with his boss.
His boss was likely the only one who had the capability to swallow her down.
Butler Zhao and the two bodyguards simrly felt that Fang Xinxin was acting aggrieved when she had instead received a great benefit.
Liu Li could only respond ingratiatingly for the sake of preserving his little life. ¡°How would Madam like for this one to repay her?¡±
He dearly hoped that it wasn¡¯t with his body.
Of course, she was Boss¡¯s woman. Even if he had a thousand guts, he would never dare to do so.
But if Boss abandoned her one day and she insisted on having him repay the debt... he wouldn¡¯t be able to endure it.
What did she mean by saying that she was only sleeping with him for Liu Li¡¯s life? Bai Qinghao¡¯s brows furrowed. Right as his anger was provoked, her response eased all his unhappiness.
¡°You don¡¯t have to repay me. In the future, all you have to do is to protect Bai Qinghao with your life.¡± She waved her hand. Look at the way Liu Li was frightened.
He made it seem as though she nned on doing something to him.
Liu Li heaved a sigh of relief imperceptibly. As long as she wasn¡¯t asking for his body, he was willing to agree to anything. ¡°Please be rest assured, Madam. It is part of this subordinate¡¯s duty to sacrifice his life for Boss¡¯s safety.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s abdomen was hurting slightly. Her body did not have many issues, but whenever her great-aunt visited, she would be extremely ufortable. Thus, she headed upstairs to rest.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gazended on Liu Li. He instructed Liu Li sternly. ¡°Go and receive your punishment. In future, you better watch your mouth.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Liu Li felt as though he had just woken up from a bad dream. He had thought that he was doomed to die and did not expect to keep his little life.
But the moment he remembered the special training his boss had arranged for him, he heard the grim reaper¡¯s footsteps echoing...
Fang Xinxinid down in the main bedroom to rest. Around ten minutester, the door opened.
Chapter 337: Use Other People To Attack
Chapter 337: Use Other People To Attack
The sound of heavy footsteps approached the bed. The temperature in the room also seemed to fall, making the air turn cold.
Aside from Bai Qinghao, it was unlikely that anyone else would have such an aura.
Bai Qinghao sat down on the edge of the bed and pressed hisrge palm against Fang Xinxin¡¯s forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever. Do you feel very ufortable?¡±
Although it was a question, he sounded very certain.
Earlier, he had already noticed her poorplexion downstairs.
She shook her head and breathed in the scent of ginger in the air. She opened her eyes to see that he was holding a bowl in his hands.
¡°I made brown sugar ginger tea. Have some before you sleep.¡± His cold, heavy voice sounded slightly gentle.
She sat up and leaned back against the bed frame. He considerately ced some pillows behind her back. His movements were very natural as though they were a couple who had lived together for many years.
¡°You made this yourself?¡± she asked softly.
Due to the pain in her abdomen, she was not in the mood to be mischievous.
¡°En.¡± He nodded slightly and lifted the spoon to her lips. ¡°Open your mouth.¡±
His tone was soft and coaxing. She could not help but feel deeply moved. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you shouldn¡¯t treat me so well.¡±
He looked at her as though this was only normal. ¡°You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e. My lifelong partner. If I don¡¯t treat you well, who should I be treating well?¡±
She smiled in contentment.
Even though he was outstanding in so many ways, whenever she needed him, he was always this thoughtful and considerate.
She had likely found the most amazing man in this world!
As he fed her spoonfuls of the mixture, she felt her heart melting in a bliss.
That night, Fang Xinxin fell asleep in Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms. He did not do anything to her and only held her firmly.
The two of them were thoroughly exhausted and quickly fell into deep sleep.
...
In a certain hospital room in the city centre, Long Shuhai, Fang Ln and Fang Manxueid side-by-side in separate hospital beds.
Fang Manxue had been injured in her earlier conflict with the students from Jing Hua University. She was currently unconscious.
Fang Ln was also resting silently.
Long Shuhai however, bemoaned his circumstances endlessly. His loud voice nearly echoed through the entire building. ¡°Aiyo, the pain is killing this old man! God only knows who I provoked. They beat me up so badly, all of my bones are nearly shattered. Aiyo...¡±
Fang Ln red at Long Shuhai. ¡°Be quiet. You¡¯ve been whining the entire night. Isn¡¯t it enough? You¡¯ll disturb Manxue¡¯s rest!¡±
Long Shuhai grumbled. ¡°I¡¯m doing this because I really can¡¯t endure the pain!¡±
¡°Although you¡¯ve offended quite many people, you¡¯re still Fang Xinxin¡¯s second uncle. The news about Fang Xinxin being Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e has already been released. Most people wouldn¡¯t dare to openly attack you.¡± Fang Ln furrowed her brows to think. ¡°Who would have the guts to do this?¡±
¡°How should I know? I already told you, I went back to the Fang home to pick up some fresh sets of clothing and toiletries for you and Manxue. I was on the way back to the hospital when several young men intercepted me and beat me up. I didn¡¯t even manage to see their faces clearly!¡±
As Long Shuhai said this, he suddenly recalled. ¡°When I returned to the Fang home, I met Bai Qinghao who was looking for Fang Xinxin. Afterwards, I shared my opinion about Fang Xinxin¡¯s decision to visit you. All our neighbours felt that Fang Xinxin was too unfilial. But I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qinghao to stand up for Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Could it have been Bai Qinghao who did it then?¡± Fang Ln looked at him as though he was foolish. She felt both anger and heartache welling up inside her. ¡°You should know how much Bai Qinghao protects Fang Xinxin. Unless you are certain that you are holding onto her weakness, it would be best if you use other people to attack her in the future.¡±
Chapter 338: Eating Human Flesh
Chapter 338: Eating Human Flesh
Long Shuhai considered the matter and said, ¡°I was not that out of line. It¡¯s our busybody neighbour, Kong Meixian, who insisted on chattering about Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions. I only added some fuel to the fire standing on the side. Even if someone was to suffer, it should have been Kong Meixian. Why did I be the unlucky target? After being hospitalised, I gave Kong Meixian a call. That woman is unharmed.¡±
¡°In that case, it might not be Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Ln deliberated. ¡°That makes things easier to handle.¡±
¡°Easy my ass! I¡¯m almost dying from anger!¡± Long Shuhai grumbled in resentment. ¡°They even dared to beat up Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e¡¯s second uncle. No matter who they are, once I learn of their identity, I¡¯ll definitely ask Bai Qinghao to stand up for me!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have the energy to deal with you.¡± Fang Ln nced at Fang Manxue, whoid on the other bed. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that cheap whore! She dared to bully my Manxue. I am going to show her the consequences!¡±
...
The next day, when Fang Xinxin woke up, there was no one by her side. She wasn¡¯t sure where Bai Qinghao had gone.
She was a little disappointed. She had hoped to wake up in his embrace.
If the first thing she saw in the morning was a handsome man with unparalleled beauty, that would truly be nourishment for her eyes.
She stretched her body and went to wash up. After that, she changed into a set of sportswear.
She stepped onto the balcony attached to the main bedroom and took in the view. The well-maintained garden was beautiful. There were little paths with trees providing shade and a marble bench surrounded by delicate flowers. The entire view was gorgeous. A distance away, the Yu Ting Vi was protected by an European style perimeter wall. The entire estate was even more extravagant than the famous holiday vis!
Not only was the master of this ce extremely powerful, even those who had the opportunity to work here were extremely honoured.
Fang Xinxin admired the ce and searched for Bai Qinghao¡¯s silhouette.
In the enormous, glistening blue pool, a man was swimming.
In fact, the pool water itself was not blue. The light blue ceramic tiles at the bottom of the pool caused the transparent water to appear blue.
With the man¡¯s movement, the surface of the water rippled and reflected the sunlight.
Although the man¡¯s body was submerged under water, his figure still looked amazing. This was the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s private pool. Aside from Bai Qinghao, no one else would swim here.
Fang Xinxin stared at him. His figure was cool and handsome. Furthermore, he easily swam over sixty metres in one breath. As someone who could not swim, she was truly amazed.
Most people would only be able to swim twenty to thirty metres in one breath. If sixty metres wasn¡¯t his limit, perhaps he could even swimpetitively.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s head poked out of the surface of the water. He seemed to have noticed her gaze. He swam towards the staircase by the side of the pool and stepped out.
He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. He was tall and his body was well-trained. The sight of him was extremely powerful!
Sparkling droplets of water rolled down his body. Under the sunlight, he seemed to be emitting a seductive, masculine charm.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes were shining with thirst. She dearly wished to be one of those water droplets. This way, she would be able to press against his figure and touch his absolutely perfect body...
¡°Miss Fang, what do you wish to have for breakfast?¡±
¡°I want to eat a human.¡±
Zhao Cheng stood behind her respectfully to ask. He was surprised for a moment. He had not expected this answer.
However, Young Master had instructed that Miss Fang was feeling unwell. No matter what she wished to have, they had to make it happen. ¡°That¡¯s not impossible. Would you prefer grilled, steamed, deep-fried, stir-fried or boiled?¡±
Chapter 339: Tried It Before
Chapter 339: Tried It Before
Fang Xinxin turned back to nce at Zhao Cheng. ¡°...May I know what you are referring to?¡±
¡°Human meat.¡± Zhao Cheng responded expressionlessly. ¡°If we remove some fresh meat from a living human, it will taste better. However, if Miss Fang has reservations about that, the chef can still prepare some good dishes from the meat of a dead human.¡±
Fang Xinxin felt a little weak. ¡°Are you joking?¡±
¡°This subordinate never jokes.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve had human meat before?¡±
¡°This question does not fall under Young Master¡¯s orders to take care of you. This subordinate has the right to not answer.¡± Zhao Cheng remained expressionless.
¡°I wish to eat your young master.¡± She gave him the correct answer.
¡°My deepest apologies. Young Master is respected as a God. Even if he is willing to offer you his flesh, this subordinate will do his utmost to prevent it.¡±
¡°Old Butler, you¡¯regging behind times.¡± Fang Xinxin patted him on the shoulder and left the main bedroom.
Zhao Cheng furrowed his brows. He was only thirty years old. The word ¡®old¡¯ was used inappropriately here.
Fang Xinxin descended the staircase to head to the living room on the first floor. She found that Bai Qinghao had already changed into a ck suit. He was wiping his wet hair with a white towel.
A maid held a tray and stood on the side. When Bai Qinghao saw Fang Xinxin, he ced the towel on the tray.
Fang Xinxin thought regretfully as to why he changed his attire so quickly? She had yet to get a good look of his healthy, outstanding figure.
However, even in his suit, he made for an impressive sight. Hisplexion was cold and graceful. Truly, he was utterly perfect from every angle!
¡°You¡¯re awake? Come and have breakfast.¡± Bai Qinghao gestured for her toe forward.
Fang Xinxin approached him and saw that the luxurious dining table was lined with Wintermelon Glutinous Rice Soup, Steamed Egg Custard, Crystal Dumplings... along with ten other dishes.
She thought that there was so much food. Bai Qinghao sure could eat!
¡°I know you¡¯re trying to lose weight. I instructed the kitchen to prepare a lighter breakfast.¡±
¡°There¡¯s so much food here. Why did you still ask Butler Zhao to ask me about what I would like to have?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned doting. ¡°I was worried that these wouldn¡¯t suit your tastes. If you don¡¯t like any of it, I¡¯ll ask the kitchen to prepare something else.¡±
¡°I like these, I like all of them!¡± She scooped herself a bowl of Shark Fin Ginseng Congee and began eating mouthfuls of it. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡±
¡°I already ate.¡± His expression was cold but his tone was warm.
She stiffened. ¡°Dare I ask if this was all prepared for me?¡±
He nodded.
¡°...¡±
She finished a bowl of congee and stood up. When she saw he was about to speak, she quickly interjected. ¡°Don¡¯t persuade me to eat more. I¡¯m in the midst of losing weight. I¡¯ll be upset at whoever tries to persuade me otherwise.¡±
He furrowed his brows and instructed helplessly with some heartache. ¡°Pay attention to your nutrition intake. Don¡¯t harm your body.¡±
¡°I got it.¡±
Fang Xinxin turned to run upstairs. Bai Qinghao watched her charming back view as she left.
Butler Zhao then approached him and respectfully said, ¡°Young Master, Miss Fang said she wishes to have human meat.¡±
On a rare asion, Bai Qinghao¡¯s distant, cold gaze appeared slightly confused. ¡°Her taste is that unique?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Cheng furrowed his brows. ¡°What¡¯s outrageous is that she wishes to eat you.¡±
Chapter 340: Too Light Of A Punishment
Chapter 340: Too Light Of A Punishment
Bai Qinghao suddenly gave a small, meaningful smile. It appeared as though he was suddenly in a good mood.
Zhao Cheng was confused. He said in a severe voice, ¡°She wishes to eat you. You...¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin is my fianc¨¦e. If she doesn¡¯t eat me, who will she eat?¡± Bai Qinghao stood up and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Butler Zhao¡¯s thoughts are still old-fashioned. I won¡¯t me you for being confused.¡±
Zhao Cheng stood stiffly with a stony expression. This was the first time his young master spoke so sincerely to him.
Could it be that, as a butler, his awareness was still not good enough?
But there were countless people in this world who hoped to drink his young master¡¯s blood and to gnaw on his meat.
First, there were his enemies in the business and political world. Second, it would be Bai Chenxi. This was because if anything happened to Young Master, the Bai family would instantly fall into the hands of Bai Chenxi, an outsider.
...
Fang Xinxin carried a bag with her as she passed by Bai Qinghao¡¯s room. She heard him making a call.
¡°On the first day, assign Liu Li to go swimming. On the second day, toss him to go sleep in a cave. On the third day, get him to go harvest honey. This is Liu Li¡¯s punishment. I wrote it clearly on the list. Do I need to repeat myself?¡± Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows.
His cold tone conveyed his impatience.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was extremely poor.
Fuck, Liu Li¡¯s punishment was so light? She was angered to death!
As expected, Liu Li was a brother who had been through life and death with him and she was only a piece of clothing?
Originally, she had decided not to go to school today and to stay in the Yu Ting Vi with him.
But now... hmph.
She didn¡¯t wish to see him.
All the warm emotions which had emerged from his brown sugar ginger teast night, dissipated.
She could angrily interrogate him about this, but she recalled herself asking for mercy on Liu Li¡¯s behalf. Without her, he would have died.
If she continued pursuing this matter, she would appear especially petty.
Thus, when Bai Qinghao ended the call and stepped out of the study room, he saw that she was smiling sweetly.
Her smile was too bright. Ever since she lost weight, the sparkle in her eyes became even more luminous. This caused him to neglect the concealed, stiffness behind her smile.
He took arge step forward and was about to bring her into his arms.
She quickly took a step back. ¡°I have a ss at 10 this morning. I¡¯ll leave for school now.¡±
Bai Qinghao wasn¡¯t someone who would neglect work for personal matters. In fact, he was a workaholic and was usually very efficient when it came to work matters.
Thus, as long as her heart was set on him, he would not stop her from going to school.
Even if...
He really wished that she would stay, even if it was for half a day.
Fang Xinxin did not wait for him to respond. She walked around him and rushed down the stairs.
The Yu Ting Vi was truly too big. The luxuriousyout wasparable to that of an ancient pce. The only difference was that it was furnished with an European approach.
Fang Xinxin walked for quite some time before she arrived at the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s entrance.
She was currently 58 kilograms.
With her height, she was definitely not considered to be fat. However, if she wanted to obtain a 50 kilograms figure, she needed to continue training her body.
She was preparing to walk to school when a SUV suddenly came to a stop next to her.
The windows slowly moved down. The driver was Li Bingpan.
Bai Qinghao sat in the backseat. His posture was upright and his aura was cold. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to school.¡±
His cold, icy voice did not contain much warmth.
Fang Xinxin was about to be moved by his thoughtful action when she recalled Liu Li¡¯s punishment...
¡°It¡¯s all right. I can walk to school.¡±
¡°Get in!¡± His cold voice was firm and clearly would not ept any refusal.
She did not wish to be dragged into the car and could only open the door to climb in.
Chapter 341: Payment
Chapter 341: Payment
She actually climbed into the front seat!
Bai Qinghao sat in the backseat and frowned unhappily. His sharp gaze instantly turned chilly.
Did she hate him to the point where she had to sit so far away from him?
The car slowly drove towards Jing Hua University, which was located in the outskirts of the city centre.
It wasn¡¯t clear if it was because the air-conditioner was set to too low a temperature, or because Bai Qinghao¡¯s aura was far too chilly, but it was frighteningly cold inside the car.
The driver, Li Bingpan, and Fang Xinxin were both clearly cold to the point where they were nearly trembling.
Furthermore, there was also a suffocating, heavy air surrounding them.
Fang Xinxin adjusted her breathing and turned to look at Li Bingpan.
Previously, after her second sister, Fang Manxue climbed into his bed, he did not honestly report his actions to Bai Qinghao.
She wondered if her second sister had bribed him further?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp eyes tracked Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze.
This damn woman. She would rather look at a chauffeur than look at him?
Earlier in the morning, hadn¡¯t she been watching him with a sparkling gaze?
Li Bingpan sensed his boss¡¯s unhappy gaze. He was frightened to the point where his teeth were almost chattering. ¡°Miss Fang, please don¡¯t look at this subordinate.¡±
Can¡¯t you tell that Boss¡¯s eyes are nearly shooting ice out of them?
¡°Who is looking at you?¡± Fang Xinxin responded coldly. ¡°I¡¯m looking at the scenery outside. It¡¯s coincidental that you¡¯re on that side.¡±
Although Li Bingpan did not believe her words, he did not refute it.
A hint of confusion appeared in Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. He watched as she turned away before the anger in his eyes finally dissipated a little.
He had originally hoped to use this opportunity to properly hold her.
Her great-aunt was here and he could not share a room with her. Taking this opportunity to embrace her would have been a good way to relieve his thirst.
But since she was intentionally putting distance between them, he could only suppress his anger and put on an act to appear as though he was unmoved.
The car was installed with an ¡®all-natural¡¯ air-conditioner. Fang Xinxin felt that she was not seated in a car but in an ice cave. Even worse, this car was moving at an extremely slow speed. She peered at the speedometer and saw that the current speed was 30km/hr!
It was moving slower than even a bicycle.
She said unhappily, ¡°Chauffeur Li, could I trouble you to drive faster? With the speed you¡¯re moving, exactly when will I arrive at school?¡±
¡°My apologies, Miss Fang. The car is broken. We can only move at this speed.¡±
Fang Xinxin wanted to ask him if the car was broken, how was it still moving?
Fuck, he sure could lie without faltering.
She took in Li Bingpan¡¯s flustered expression and guessed that he wanted the car to move faster even more than she did.
She suddenly understood that this was on Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders. He was only allowed to drive at this speed.
It was a silent torture.
Thankfully, the school was not too far away. Although they were moving five times slower than normal, they arrived at Jing Hua University¡¯s entrance at 9:00a.m..
Fang Xinxin turned back and shot Bai Qinghao a sweet smile. ¡°Qinghao, thank you for sending me to school!¡±
Her smile caused Bai Qinghao¡¯s frozen heart to shake slightly.
Still, he faintly felt that something was amiss.
She tugged on the door handle but discovered that it was locked. She couldn¡¯t open the car door. ¡°Um, I¡¯m going to school now.¡±
Bai Qinghao leaned backzily against his seat. His expression was frigid cold and his aura made it difficult for one to approach him.
¡°Could you ask the chauffeur to unlock the door?¡± She asked politely.
This was his car. She would not carelessly touch it.
¡°Payment, ¡± he coldly responded with one word.
Fang Xinxin was dazed for a moment. Even a small act like unlocking the car door needed payment. ¡°Can I give you five dors?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression instantly darkened. His gaze also turned cold. ¡°What do you think?¡±
Chapter 342: He Was Too Easy To Coax
Chapter 342: He Was Too Easy To Coax
¡°Then, fifty dors?¡±
His expression was dark to the point where it seemed like smoke would appear above his head anytime. His frigid gaze held sufficient rage to kill someone.
She did not dare to provoke him any further. She shifted her sparkling eyes and leaned back from her seat to reach him. With a soft, smacking noise, she left a kiss on his face.
She quickly shifted back and asked carefully. ¡°Will this do?¡±
Bai Qinghao did not expect her to suddenly kiss him. His frozen heart instantly melted.
The early rage alsopletely dissipated. He nodded slightly.
Fang Xinxin was smart and naturally understood that he was angry at her for not sitting by his side.
She had intentionally done so because she enjoyed seeing the way he became angry at her.
She had only given him a small, light kiss. Was that all it took?
Bai Qinghao was all-powerful and ruthless in the business world. It turned out, he was actually this easy to coax!
She understood in her heart that it was because he cared too much for her.
Fang Xinxin suddenly felt a little upset.
She shouldn¡¯t have gotten into a conflict with him over a small matter concerning that obnoxious person, Liu Li.
What did Liu Li count for? How was he worth causing problems between the two of them?
As she thought about this, her mood suddenly lifted. She smiled sincerely. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re so good!¡±
Bai Qinghao took in her sudden, joyful appearance. Her radiant expression was definitely sincere.
Earlier, wasn¡¯t she upset? Why did she change so quickly?
Could it be that women on their periods were prone to rapid mood swings?
Regardless, as long as she was happy, all was well.
His frozen heart softened along with her mood.
Since Boss was satisfied with Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions, Chauffeur Li Bingpan took the initiative to unlock the car door.
After alighting from the car, she did not immediately head in. She pulled open the backseat door and threw herself into Bai Qinghao¡¯s firm arms. She said gloomily, ¡°My dear, I can¡¯t bear to leave you!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s back stiffened slightly. His eyes seemed to reveal hints of his deep emotions and he responded coldly. ¡°I¡¯m the same.¡±
¡°In that case, I won¡¯t go to my ss...¡±
¡°Go,¡± he responded heavily. He desperately wanted her to stay, but she once mentioned that she wanted to properly focus on her studies.
In that case, she should not dy her school work for him.
He closed his eyes and intentionally lied. ¡°I have something on at 10:00 in the morning. I can¡¯t apany you.¡± In fact, he had nned to spend the entire afternoon with her.
¡°All right then.¡± She got off the car and waved to him.
The SUV immediately drove away in a gust of wind. The speed at which it left definitely was not 30km/hr. It was at least three times that.
Indeed, the car was not broken. Bai Qinghao had simply wanted to spend more time with her.
Her heart began to fill a little sour again.
Arge group of students were gathered at the school entrance. One female entrance spoke up in excitement. ¡°Wasn¡¯t that Bai Qinghao earlier? He¡¯s really too handsome!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao sent Fang Xinxin to school. If he will let me be in the same car as him one day, even if he sends me to hell, I¡¯ll be willing,¡± a beautiful girl responded.
¡°Quit dreaming, all of you. He already has a fianc¨¦e.¡± The person who interjected was a male student.
Fang Xinxin had guessed that Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance would draw a lot of attention in the school.
¡°Wow! Fang Xinxin, how the fuck did you lose so much weight?¡± Qian Xiaohe, from Year 4, ss 1, shouted.
¡°Not only that, your tanned skin actually became fair again!¡±
¡°Fuck, Fang Xinxin, your figure is amazing! Your height seems to be around 1.67 to 1.68 metres. Your weight should be around 50 kilograms. It¡¯s as though a big fattie has transformed into a model!¡±
Chapter 343: Unfilial
Chapter 343: Unfilial
Praises surrounded Fang Xinxin endlessly. The unfamiliar faces were one matter, but there were countless old faces she saw everyday; especially the ones like Year 4, greedy-eyed Qian Xiaohe who normally enjoyed clinging onto Fang Manxue.
Fang Xinxin asked them in irritation. ¡°I¡¯ve been slim for a long time now. All of you seem to be acting as though you¡¯re blind during this time since I¡¯ve never heard a single person mention that I¡¯ve lost weight. Have you all lost your mind today?¡±
Qian Xiaoke approached her side. ¡°Fang Xinxin, in fact, the entire school has been watching your amazing weight loss journey. We¡¯ve been discussing how quickly you¡¯ve seeded. You¡¯re basically the model person to follow! But...¡±
Another male student picked up the narrative. ¡°But you¡¯re Fang Xinxin from Year 2, ss 3, ah. You¡¯ve offended Brother Nan. What kind of person is Brother Nan? He is the tyrannical king of Jing Hua University. If he says you¡¯re fat, even if you¡¯ve lost weight, who would dare say that you¡¯re thin?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Another female student responded with a nod. ¡°As long as Brother Nan says you¡¯re fat, even if you have a normal figure, you¡¯re still a fattie!¡±
Qian Xiaohe put on a ¡®helpless¡¯ expression. ¡°I¡¯m sure you finally understand why, though you¡¯ve clearly lost weight, none of us dared to speak up about it during this time. After all, none of us would like to go against Brother Nan. If Brother Nan gets angry, we may face urine pouring from above and snakes falling out of trees...¡±
¡°I understand, I understand.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to immediately understand. She scanned their faces carefully. ¡°In that case, go on and remain mute for the rest of your life. Don¡¯t ever mention that I¡¯m slim.¡±
¡°Aiya, it¡¯s different right now. The circumstances have changed greatly!¡± Qian Xiaohe pped her thigh in agitation. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you are Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai¡¯s, fianc¨¦e! The country¡¯s God¡¯s, Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, ah! Bai Qinghao is much more amazing than Brother Nan. No one canpete with him. Who would dare to continue lying? If we insist that you¡¯re still fat, won¡¯t we be going against Bai Qinghao? Furthermore, I heard that Brother Nan has calmed down in the past few days. He even admitted that you¡¯ve lost weight to be a human, that you¡¯re no longer the same fat pig.¡±
She fluttered hershes. ¡°Fang Xinxin, won¡¯t you introduce me to someone rich?¡±
Fang Xinxin replied in a casual manner. ¡°Aren¡¯t you always chanting Goddess Manxue¡¯s name as you rotate around my second sister everyday? My second sister has already promised to help you. This matter is unrted to me.¡±
After saying this, she turned to head into ss.
¡°Hey, hey... don¡¯t go. Your second sister is a useless imitation product. It¡¯s better if Bai Qinghao¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e would do it...¡± Qian Xiaohe chased after her.
When she saw that Fang Xinxin remained unresponsive, she could only rub her nose. She hated herself for being blind and treating a cheap woman as a Goddess. She had hugged the wrong thigh!
Fang Xinxin received a wave of admiration as she made her way to ss.
Everyone was talking about how she had lost weight and how her skin had turned fair.
Unfortunately, her face was covered in scabs. She was truly ugly to the point where it was difficult to look straight at her. No one dared to say that she was beautiful.
Thankfully, most of her scabs had hardened and were about to fall off.
There was still some time before ss. She approached a wooden bench next to a cluster of trees and sat down.
She brought her phone out and sent her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, a message.
[Brother, you have to take care of yourself while you¡¯re alone.]
In fact, right after leaving Hong Sheng District, she had wanted to send him a message. She was worried that he had suffered too much of a shock. However, she feared he would realise that she knew of his feelings.
Thus, she could only give it some time and drag it on till now.
Fang Shaohua replied very quickly: [I will, Xinxin.]
He replied so quickly that Fang Xinxin nearly believed that her elder brother had been watching his phone the entire time.
Unbeknownst to her, Fang Shaohua had actually been staring at his phone during this period. He had written countless unsent messages and considered calling her numerous times... all of those eventually merged into the silent heartbreak that he was enduring.
¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re here! Quickly look at this. A hospital nurse posted that you¡¯re unfilial! She¡¯s saying that your conscience was eaten by a dog!¡±
Chapter 344: Xinxin’s Conscience Has Been Eaten By A Dog
Chapter 344: Xinxin¡¯s Conscience Has Been Eaten By A Dog
Sun Jiamu approached her and said urgently, ¡°I was scrolling through the forums. Most of the posts have been about Fang Manxue¡¯s hypocrisy and her cheap actions. But there¡¯s one particr post circting through our forums. It was taken from a hospital¡¯s internal forum. The title is ¡®Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Fang Xinxin, is extremely unfilial.¡¯ It¡¯s such an eye-catching title and even uses Bai Qinghao¡¯s name. It was immediately reposted more than ten thousand times. All the big forums have exploded... Most of them are scolding you. It¡¯s even on the trending list right now.¡±
Fang Xinxin immediately searched for the original forum site. She read through the seemingly helpless and heartbreaking passage.
[Ever since I saw the event, Warming Jing Hua University With Love, I was deeply moved by Fang Xinxin. I admired her. She possesses thepassion to care for all her schoolmates and is a very kind person. She even brought arge sum of donations to Jing Hua University¡¯s students.
In my heart, Fang Xinxin became my greatest idol.
I even thought, given that she is such a well brought up girl, it would be my greatest honour if I could one day meet her face-to-face.
Madam Fang Ln met with an ident and has been admitted to the hospital. As a medical personnel, when I learned that she is Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother, I was very agitated. I carefully took care of my idol¡¯s model and sent Fang Xinxin a message. Attached is a screenshot of our conversation.]
{Hello, is this Madam Fang Ln¡¯s daughter? This is XXX hospital. Madam Fang was involved in a car ident and is currently in aa. Could I trouble you to rush over? We urgently require someone to sign the papers on her behalf. It would be best if you brought more of her family members here.}
Following which, the post continued with the rant.
[When I called Fang Xinxin, I realised that her phone was turned off. All the messages I sent her were akin to tossing a pebble into the ocean. As Fang Xinxin is quite famous, the hospital has some understanding about Fang Ln and knows that she has two daughters.
Unfortunately, one of her daughters, Fang Manxue has been seriously injured and is currently admitted to our hospital. As of now, she remains unconscious.
Thankfully, Fang Xinxin¡¯s second uncle arrived on time and we were able to conduct a surgery for Madam Fang Ln.
After two days, Fang Xinxin still did not appear to visit her mother. I assume it was because she did not see my messages.
My idol¡¯s mother is hospitalised. In my heart, I can¡¯t help but treat this matter with utmost importance. This morning, I took the initiative to wait for her outside Jing Hua University. I wanted to inform her about her mother¡¯s hospitalisation.
From afar, I watched as she received the crowd¡¯s attention due to her status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
I felt that it was well deserved. Because she has a kind heart.
That was until I saw... she brought her phone out to send a message. She even answered a call!]
The post was followed by photos of Fang Xinxin which showed her sitting on a school bench, typing on her phone and answering a call.
All these were taken from a distance with a good camera. It was easy to tell that the person in the pictures was Fang Xinxin.
Following which, the owner of the post seemed to be agitated as she further wrote.
[I had assumed and believed that my idol, Fang Xinxin, did not see the news about her mother¡¯s hospitalisation.
I heard that someone also saw her using her phone yesterday.
Hence, it isn¡¯t that she is unaware. She is intentionally choosing not to visit her mother!
She is such a cold-hearted woman. She won¡¯t even ask about her injured mother. She is not suited to be my idol. She is not suited to be described with the word, ¡®kind¡¯!
Fang Xinxin, you¡¯ve thoroughly let me down! You¡¯ve thoroughly let the public down!]
Chapter 345: Scolded Fiercely
Chapter 345: Scolded Fiercely
[You¡¯re an unfilial woman who doesn¡¯t have any principles. Was your conscience eaten by a dog?]
After asking this question sternly, she attached several pictures of Fang Ln. The woman was alone on the hospital bed with no one to care for her. Herplexion was pale and her body was covered in bandages.
The person who signed off was a certain nurse from XX Hospital.
After reading the post, Fang Xinxin¡¯splexion was cold. However, she did not feel much pain.
Perhaps after everything she had experienced in her past life, her heart had already turned numb.
Ding!
She received a new message.
[Great Employer Fang, back then, however greatly your second sister was revered, her fall more than made up for it. A whore and a goddess, the difference between those two titles is akin to that of heaven and earth. Originally, for the past two days, I¡¯ve been feeling apologetic for assuming that you were the third party. I even praised your kindness in various posts all over the world. When I read a certain nurse¡¯s post, I originally assumed that it was another passage praising you up to the heavens. In the end... it turns out that the other party learned on the spot and directly gave you a taste of your own tactics. They first lifted you up to the sky before dragging you down ruthlessly. Take a look yourself. Theizens are scolding you with all their might... Please don¡¯t tell anyone that you know me. I¡¯m afraid of being implicated.]
The message was sent by Chi Minzhe, from the private investigator¡¯s office.
After reading the message, Fang Xinxin casually deleted it.
¡°Fuck, I¡¯m angry to death!¡± Sun Jiamu spoke up unhappily. ¡°Who is this stupid nurse? She actually dared to scold you for having no morals. What¡¯s worse is that theseizens are equally blind and are following in her footsteps to scold you. All these keyboard warriors think that it¡¯s fun to scold other people behind the screen, but they don¡¯t realise that their words can force someone to their deaths!¡±
Fang Xinxin scanned through various forums and thement section on various media outlets. They were all scolding her fiercely.
[Such an unfilial woman. How is she still suited to be alive? Even the King of Hell would look down on you.]
[Fang Xinxin, you don¡¯t even have any basic morals. Go die and wait to be reincarnated again!]
Every so often, there would be some polite ones as well.
[God Bai Qinghao, during the Warming Jing Hua University with Love event, you mentioned that Fang Xinxin is a kind person. But she won¡¯t even visit her own mother after a car ident. Your fianc¨¦e¡¯s character is truly too... Filial piety is of utmost importance. We can talk about other morals after. You¡¯re the country¡¯s idol. You cannot be blinded by such a woman.]
With every passing minute, the situation was worsening. It was like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.
¡°It¡¯s almost time. We have a ss at 10.00 a.m..¡± Fang Xinxin stood up and headed for the school building.
¡°Xinxin, are you still in the mood to attend ss?¡± Sun Jiamu followed after her and urged. ¡°Quicklye up with a method. Let¡¯s push this matter down.¡±
¡°How?¡± she asked indifferently.
¡°This...¡± Sun Jiamu was also stumped.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be the country¡¯s God, Bai Qinghao¡¯s, fianc¨¦e ah.¡± A female student, whom she was not familiar with, greeted her. ¡°I previously misunderstood you and even scolded you for being a third party on the school forum. I¡¯m so sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s all right.¡± She smiled and shook her head.
¡°I previously thought that you were a third party and even scolded you upside down. I apologise as well.¡± Another male student saw her and took the initiative to approach.
¡°I can¡¯t me you for being unaware.¡± She maintained a warm smile.
Her ssmate, Liu Dan, coincidentally passed by. He mocked the two students with his eyes. ¡°The two of you are really foolish. Why would you apologise to someone like her?¡±
¡°Liu Dan, rify yourself. What do you mean by someone like her?¡± Sun Jiamu immediately appeared in front of him like an angry mother.
Chapter 346: Notoriously Famous
Chapter 346: Notoriously Famous
¡°Sun Jiamu, you were scrolling through your phone earlier, no? Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t know how Fang Xinxin has been behaving out of line.¡± Liu Dan put on a generous attitude. ¡°I won¡¯t be petty with a girl like you, but as your ssmate, I advise you to stay further away from Fang Xinxin.¡±
He then turned to the two students who had just apologised. ¡°Go on and look through any forums you can find. Even the school forum will do. You¡¯ll easily understand what kind of person Fang Xinxin is. We are all students from Jing Hua University. I won¡¯t use any dirtynguage to get my point across.¡±
The two students immediately brought their phones out. Less than a minuteter, their expressions changed. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We won¡¯t use our words carelessly either. We can¡¯t afford to provoke CEO Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
After saying this, the two rushed away.
Liu Dan proudly lifted his chin. ¡°Sun Jiamu, why are you still standing next to Fang Xinxin? You should listen to my kind-hearted advice. Do you see how the crowd is watching Fang Xinxin with disdain? If she wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, everyone would have already scolded her to her face for being unfilial!¡±
¡°Whatever I do is none of your business!¡± Sun Jiamu linked elbows with Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, no matter what you¡¯ve done, I¡¯ll always be on your side!¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin was very moved. ¡°In the future... I will also protect you.¡±
She absolutely would not allow Sun Jiamu¡¯s tragic future to repeat itself.
Jiatong, from their dormitory, had been watching the farce in amusement by the side for a while. Previously, she had a conflict with Fang Xinxin and Sun Jiamu.
When she saw their circumstance, she immediately mocked them. ¡°Sun Jiamu, I think you must be trying to hold onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s thigh. That¡¯s good. She will soon marry into the Bai family and be sessful. It¡¯s not impossible for her to lift your Sun family. However, you have to understand Bai Qinghao¡¯s status well. If Fang Xinxin is clean, perhaps she¡¯ll be able to enter the Bai family. But she doesn¡¯t even have any principles. Perhaps soon, she won¡¯t have the status of being Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Be careful not to be like Qian Xiaohe and Fang Manxue. After chasing a useless imitation for too long, all you are left with is a bag of air.¡±
¡°The person with the surname Wu, enough of your nonsense!¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s cheeks were red. She urgently told Fang Xinxin, ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t listen to her lies. I definitely am not being your friend because of your status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I sincerely wish to be friends with you. I swear that no matter if it¡¯s in the past or present, I absolutely don¡¯t have any desire to obtain benefits from you. Even if... even if Bai Qinghao ended his engagement with you, we will still be good friends!¡±
¡°I believe in you.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°There¡¯s nothing more moving than those four words.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a pity I¡¯m not a woman. Otherwise, I¡¯ll definitely marry you!¡±
Sun Jiamu was teased intoughing.
¡°Tsk, birds of a feather flock together.¡± Wu Jiatong sneered. ¡°Go on and enjoy your schoolmates¡¯ ¡®attention¡¯. It¡¯s what you deserve for standing with Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly.
Wu Jiatong wanted to lose her temper at Fang Xinxin for telling her to scram. She dearly wished to burn her to death. However, she still felt some fear due to Fang Xinxin¡¯s status as Commander Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e. In the end, she had no choice but to leave.
...
In the Yu Ting Vi, Bai Qinghao had a meeting with Sheng Shi Group¡¯s management. He then moved onto rapidly settling various urgent documents.
Knock, knock!
Butler Zhao stepped into the study room and indifferently reported. ¡°Young Master, Miss Fang has be notoriously famous.¡±
Chapter 347: Investigate Properly
Chapter 347: Investigate Properly
Bai Qinghao lifted his dark brows. He expressionlessly held his pen as he scanned through the document in his hands. ¡°Her desire to eat human meat was used as nder material?¡±
Zhao Cheng¡¯s face was covered in sweat. He understood that his young master was teasing him. ¡°It¡¯s this subordinate¡¯s fault... for being too unaware.¡±
He had made a call to specially learn from Liu Li, who was in the midst of his special training. After all, Liu Li was someone who had been in rtionships before.
The instructor who had been in-charge of watching Liu Li¡¯s ¡®special training¡¯ gave him a face for being the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s butler and allowed Liu Li to answer his call.
After much learning, he finally understood that when Fang Xinxin expressed her desire to eat Young Master... she was referring to the matter between men and women.
He felt another drop of sweat drip down his face but did not dare to dy matters. ¡°A nurse from XX Hospital made a post. She first used emotions and praised Miss Fang to the heavens. Then, she criticised her for being unfilial and for not visiting Fang Ln in the hospital. She stated that Miss Fang doesn¡¯t even have the basic morals a human should have. The post has been reposted more than ten thousand times and is extremely popr right now. It is currently a trending topic.¡±
Bai Qinghao ced his fountain pen on the table and opened hisptop to search for this post. His brows furrowed unhappily.
Zhao Cheng took in his young master¡¯s cold expressions and internally felt that Fang Xinxin was doomed to be dragged off the stage soon.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice did not contain much warmth. ¡°A normal nurse won¡¯t have the ability to make this post and offend someone who belongs to me. Have you investigated the nurse¡¯s background and her motive behind this post?¡±
¡°This... there hasn¡¯t been enough time to do so.¡±
¡°Your efficiency has dropped. This isn¡¯t a good thing.¡± His stern tone clearly conveyed his unhappiness.
Zhao Cheng broke into cold sweat. He immediately responded. ¡°Young Master is right to criticize this subordinate. This subordinate will immediately investigate the matter.¡±
He had followed behind his young master for many years. Although he was only a butler, he was still deeply admired by many people outside. The position had brought him a lot of glory.
However, if his efficiency dropped and he was abandoned, no one would dare to employ him again.
Furthermore, he knew too much... and could only be forced to shut up for the rest of his life.
¡°Prevent the topic from trending any further and delete all the existing posts. Don¡¯t let the matter worsen any further.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Zhao Cheng finally understood the situation clearly. Earlier, Young Master was not angry at Miss Fang. Instead, his heart was aching for her.
It seemed like there was still time for Fang Xinxin to step away from the position of Young Master¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
...
In a particr lecture building in Jing Hua University, the moment Fang Xinxin stepped into her ssroom, almost all the students shifted their ¡®attention¡¯ to her. Their gaze was especially mocking. It was likely that everyone had read the nurse¡¯s post.
She had assumed that after her status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e was exposed, she would be treated the way Fang Manxue had been in the past.
But before they had the time to praise her to the heavens, she had descended back to the earth.
This difference...
¡°I¡¯m an extremely filial person. I¡¯m not like someone else.¡± Wu Jiatong intentionally began. She was clearly insulting Fang Xinxin for being unfilial.
The entire ss was whispering among themselves. Sun Jiamu alone felt panicked and helpless.
Fang Xinxin saw that no one dared to run their mouths in front of her. The matter had spread too far and arguing with this small group of people would not make much difference. She decided to let them be.
This lecture was a main elective for their fashion design and engineering major.
The head of teaching, Ma Yongting, stepped into the ssroom seriously.
He stood on the lecturer¡¯s stage and raised his voice. ¡°Students, your lecturer, Li Jieming, has applied for a sick leave. For the next two days, I will be recing him as your lecturer. There are five more minutes before ss. Fang Xinxin, step forward for a moment!¡±
Chapter 348: The Person Xingnan Likes
Chapter 348: The Person Xingnan Likes
Fang Xinxin stepped out of the ssroom before her ssmates¡¯ eyes.
In the hallway, Ma Yongting looked at Fang Xinxin and calmly asked her. ¡°Have you seen the online news and forum posts today?¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
¡°You really didn¡¯t visit your mother in the hospital?¡±
She nodded again. She originally assumed that she would be criticised by Head Ma.
To her surprise, he only kindly reminded her. ¡°Do you want to go visit her now? It¡¯s betterte than never. You can go now and write a post to apologise. Say that you were busy with your school work. Perhaps, you¡¯ll be forgiven by theizens.¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, but I don¡¯t need their forgiveness. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Ma Yongting patted her shoulder and sincerely added. ¡°I trust that you have your reasons.¡±
¡°You believe in me?¡± She was surprised.
¡°I believe in Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes.¡± After saying this, he headed back to the ssroom.
Fang Xinxin returned to her own seat as well.
¡°Alright, we¡¯re starting the ss now.¡± Ma Yongting stood on the lecturer¡¯s stage and began teaching with his usual charm. ¡°If all of you present today n to rely on your major to earn a living in the future, you will all be a professional designer. Learning well does not only imply gathering knowledge. You also have to build your skills. Although fashion design and engineering sounds a little more serious than music, arts, and many others, in fact, it is also a moving form of art. We have to carefully examine and understand it with passion...¡±
As the Head of Teaching, his skills were on apletely different level. The entire ss paidplete attention to his ss.
Soon after, the bell rang.
After Head Ma left the ssroom, Lou Yuna immediately ran towards Fang Xinxin and started to gossip. ¡°Fang Xinxin, why did Head Ma look for you?¡±
Wu Jiatong sneered shamelessly. ¡°What else could it be? He is the Head of Teaching. He must have looked for her because she iscking some morals.¡±
¡°Student Wu, please do not speak nonsense. There¡¯s nothing wrong with Fang Xinxin¡¯s morals.¡± Sun Jiamu angrily spoke up for her good friend.
¡°There is definitely something wrong with her character! What about it? What about it?¡± Wu Jiatong was a rtively powerful figure in the ssroom.
She even had two followers. Normally, she was the person in charge of bullying others.
For the past few days, she had been on the losing end whenever she dealt with Fang Xinxin and Sun Jiamu. This was a good opportunity for her to finally return the blow!
Sun Jiamu smiled coldly. ¡°Damn busybody, your mouth is really dirty!¡±
¡°Fuck, the Sun one dared to scold me. All of you, get her! Beat her to death!¡± Wu Jiatong raised her hand.
Her two followers in the ss, Liu Su and Zhang Bei, pushed back their sleeves and ran towards Sun Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin sighed internally. It was truly wonderful to have a friend on her side.
It was a pity that Sun Jiamu had no way of oveing these few bitches.
Most likely, they were afraid that Bai Qinghao would punish them. Thus, they did not dare to do anything to her and only directed their anger towards Sun Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin pulled Sun Jiamu behind her and prepared to deal with these few blind women.
Suddenly, a boy¡¯s voice clearly rang out in the ss. ¡°All of you, stop it!¡±
His tone was demanding and everyone could clearly tell that it was the school¡¯s Brother Nan.
Jiang Xingnan, sitting at his table in the first row, nced at Fang Xinxin ambiguously. Then, his gaze shifted onto Sun Jiamu. ¡°Whoever dares to touch Sun Jiamu, wait for this old man to deal with you!¡±

Liu Su and Zhang Bei immediately backed away. They turned to look at Wu Jiatong apologetically. ¡°Boss, we can¡¯t offend Brother Nan.¡±
¡°We can¡¯t provoke someone whom Brother Nan is protecting.¡±
Wu Jiatong was stifled with anger. Sheshed out in rage. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, do you like Sun Jiamu?¡±
¡°None of your business.¡± Jiang Xingnan was drinking coffee sitting at his desk again. He appeared especially carefree.
His follower, Yu Liang, re-filled his coffee from a thermos sk.
¡°What do you mean by none of my business?¡± Wu Jiatong¡¯s eyes were burning with suppressed anger. ¡°The entire school knows that I like you!¡±
Jiang Xingnan did not even turn to look at her. He responded carelessly with disdain. ¡°But I don¡¯t like you.¡±
Although Wu Jiatong imed to be the boss of all the girls in ss, she was still a girl. After being publicly rejected by the boy she loved, her expression turned extremely poor.
¡°Hey, by the way...¡± Jiang Xingnan seemed to have thought of something. ¡°A few days ago, when you fought with Sun Jiamu in your dormitory, didn¡¯t you m against the door and lose your teeth? Why do they still appear to be fine?¡±
¡°I...¡± Wu Jiatong assumed that he was finally concerned about her. She was a little bashful. ¡°I had a dental iy done.¡±
¡°Is that right?¡± Jiang Xingnan pped happily.
His expression instantly changed. ¡°This young master hates fake goods the most!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± The entire ss was teased intoughter.
Everyone knew that Wu Jiatong had gotten dental iys done. How could Brother Nan be unaware? He had intentionally ribbed her.
After being mocked by the entire ss, Wu Jiatong ran out of the room in humiliation.
Yu Liang massaged Jiang Xingnan¡¯s shoulders while asking curiously. ¡°Brother Nan, I¡¯ve never seen you stand up for a woman. Do you really like Sun Jiamu?¡±
Pin-drop silence instantly filled the ss.
Everyone sharpened their ears to pay attention to Brother Nan¡¯s gossip.
¡°Does this old man have to tell you?¡± Jiang Xingnan did not intend on saying anything. He turned towards Fang Xinxin.
As Sun Jiamu was coincidentally standing slightly behind Fang Xinxin, from everyone¡¯s point of view, Jiang Xingnan appeared to be looking at Sun Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin raised her eyes and met Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze. His ears turned hot as he quickly looked away.
¡°Aiya, Brother Nan, you even peeked at Sun Jiamu. Sun Jiamu can be considered as a beautiful girl. Her family also owns apany. In that sense, the two of you are ratherpatible. Why don¡¯t you go ahead and marry her?¡± One of the students teased him.
However, Sun Jiamu pursed her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t carelessly mention our names together. The two of us are at odds with each other.¡± Her rejection was obvious.
Everyoneughed and teased a little more before noticing several students in the hallway. They had left their own ssrooms to peek at Fang Xinxin from outside the windows.
Their gazes were filled with disdain, as though they were silently criticizing her. The eyes seemed to condemn her for being that unfilial girl!
Even their interest in Brother Nan¡¯s affairs was not enough to distract them from Fang Xinxin¡¯s hot topic.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to deal with their attention.
Her phone pinged. She tapped on it to see that she had received a voice message from Chi Minzhe.
As there were other students around, it was inconvenient for her to listen to it. She changed the voice message into a word message:
[Fuck! It¡¯s barely been an hour, but the nurse¡¯s post describing your unfilial actions is no longer trending. It¡¯s even been taken off from more than half of the major forum websites. Furthermore, it¡¯s being destroyed across every media website at the fastest possible speed. None of them have the guts to repost the news. It¡¯s clear that someone powerful is suppressing the news. Miss Fang, this must be your fianc¨¦¡¯s act. Since CEO Bai Qinghao is helping you so much, I have decided to acknowledge you as an acquaintance after all. Also... please let me hug your thigh!]
Chapter 350: Grow On My Own
Chapter 350: Grow On My Own
After reading it once more, she deleted the message.
She saw that more and more students were gathering to ¡®admire¡¯ her. Fang Xinxin did not wish to be watched like a zoo animal and decided to leave the ssroom. She returned to her dormitory.
At the same time, in Yu Ting Vi¡¯s study, Zhao Chengpleted his investigation at the fastest possible speed.
He was currently reporting his findings to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Young Master, this subordinate has already investigated the truth. The nurse who made the post criticising Miss Fang is named Yang Fen. She is indeed working at XX Hospital, where Fang Ln is being hospitalised. She owed a sum of debt worth several hundred thousand dors and was struggling to pay it off. However, thirty thousand dors suddenly appeared in her ount. The same sum also disappeared from Fang Ln¡¯spany ount. She must be paying Yang Fen in installments. If you give this subordinate a little more time, I will be able to prove that Yang Fen was bribed to intentionally nder Miss Fang. If we request Miss Fang toe up with a suitable excuse for her absence from the hospital, this matter should die off well.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was heavy. Before he could express his thoughts, his phone rang.
It was a call from Fang Xinxin. He answered it almost immediately. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you alright?¡±
He was worried that she would not be able to endure the public¡¯s scorn.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone was carefree, as though she did not mind anything. ¡°Bai Qinghao, are you worried about me? I¡¯m doing very well.¡±
His furrowed brows eased slightly.
¡°Were you the one who deleted the posts and stopped the topic from trending?¡± She asked him.
¡°En.¡± He softly responded.
¡°Thank you.¡± Her tone was sincere and grateful.
¡®Your business is my business¡¯. He was not good at expressing himself. Although he felt this way internally, he remained silent.
¡°Bai Qinghao, could you not interfere with this matter anymore? Don¡¯t take down the remaining posts criticising me.¡± Her tone was slightly pleading.
His brows instantly furrowed again and his tone subconsciously turned cold. ¡°You don¡¯t wish to owe me?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t see you as an outsider.¡± She murmured softly on the other end. ¡°I wish to grow on my own.¡±
Upon hearing this, his frown deepened. She was his fianc¨¦e. There was no need for her to weather any storm. He would protect her for the rest of her life!
However, if one day, something happened...
It was better if she grew stronger.
Thus, he gave in. He felt that if things failed to be resolved, he would then step forward once more.
Zhao Cheng watched as he ended the call before asking him. ¡°Young Master, do you still need this subordinate to handle Miss Fang¡¯s matter?¡±
¡°Let it be for the moment.¡±
¡°Additionally, this subordinate has found someone testing your attitude towards this matter.¡±
Bai Qinghao murmured to himself softly, before his gaze turned heavy. ¡°Let them assume that I¡¯m not interested in interfering.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
...
In Jing Hua University¡¯s D1 dormitory building, Fang Xinxin received another strange message after ending her call with Bai Qinghao.
[Fattie, the Bai family¡¯s grand door isn¡¯t that easy to step through. You have to watch your words and actions carefully. Have you considered making a different choice?]
It was sent from an unsaved number.
Strictly speaking, this was the second time that she was receiving a message from this number.
Countless people used to call her ¡®Fattie¡¯. But now that she had lost weight, only Jiang Xingnan, the bastard, continued lying with his eyes wide open.
She scrolled back to the previous message.
[Rather than being Bai Qinghao¡¯s third party... why not be this young master¡¯s... first party.]
It couldn¡¯t actually be Jiang Xingnan, could it?
Fang Xinxin thought about it. Earlier in the ssroom, she had caught him peeking at Sun Jiamu with real emotions in his eyes.
Chapter 351: Who Is Your Sister-in-law?
Chapter 351: Who Is Your Sister-inw?
Just as everyone said, Jiang Xingnan has never openly helped a girl. However, he chose to help Sun Jiamu.
The person he liked was most likely Sun Jiamu.
As she deliberated over it, she dialled a call to the number and began scolding the moment the call connected. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, have you gone fucking crazy? Sending these type of stupid texts to tease your mother. Do you think it¡¯s fun?¡±
The person on the other end was silent for ten seconds before responding. ¡°That¡¯s right. This old man is intentionally teasing you!¡±
As expected, she heard Jiang Xingnan¡¯s lowly voice. She rewarded him with one word. ¡°Scram!¡±
Jiang Xingnan stared at his phone as a beeping noise yed soon after. He was angered to the point where his heart was nearly on fire.
Yu Liang stood close by and took in his dark expression. ¡°Boss, the person who called you earlier sounded like a girl. She even arrogantly told you to scram.¡±
¡°She is asking for a beating.¡± His teeth nearly broke from the way he was grinding them together.
¡°She isn¡¯t only asking for a beating. It wouldn¡¯t be out of line even if you cut her up! Boss, this bitch needs to be shown the consequences. Shall we throw her into theke to feed the fish?¡±
Jiang Xingnan red at him with mes in his eyes. ¡°You have a death wish!¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to look for death in front of you.¡± Yu Liang finally reacted.
He carefully asked Jiang Xingnan. ¡°You can¡¯t bear to bully the girl who called you earlier? Who is she?¡±
¡°Your sister-inw!¡± Jiang Xingnan left these words behind before arrogantly walking away.
¡°Eh? Brother Nan, when did I have a sister-inw? Why didn¡¯t I know about this? Tell me about her...¡± Yu Liang chased after him.
But even after receiving several violent blows, he did not manage to learn anything.
...
In a certain three bedded ward in the hospital, Fang Lnid on the bed in the middle. She had spent the whole morning on her phone. After watching the nurse¡¯s post catch attention, and seeing variousrge media tforms scold Fang Xinxin upside down, she finally smiled in satisfaction.
On the other bed, Long Shuhai watched her with worry in his eyes. ¡°Is this suitable? If Bai Qinghao learns that you were the one behind all of this...¡±
¡°I already informed Nurse Yang Fen. She will endure the entire responsibility for criticising Fang Xinxin to be unfilial.¡± Fang Ln nced at the third bed where her daughter, Fang Manxue,id.
She said in heartache, ¡°My Manxue is still unconscious. If I don¡¯t take revenge for her, how am I suited to be her mother? Fang Xinxin, that cheap whore¡¯s reputation is already ruined. Who knows whether the Bai family will ept her after this. Perhaps she won¡¯t even be allowed to enter their door.¡±
Long Shuhai nced at the door every so often. ¡°Fang Xinxin should have already seen the post. We¡¯ve been waiting the whole morning but she hasn¡¯te to visit. The public is pressuring her right now. No matter what, she should stille...¡±
Fang Ln smirked. The faint wrinkles on the corner of her eyes crinkled. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s best if she doesn¡¯te. I haven¡¯t made a big enough fuss yet.¡±
At this moment, Nurse Yang Fen rushed in frantically. ¡°Director Fang, things are bad!¡±
¡°Why are you raising your voice?¡± Fang Ln red at her in slight irritation.
¡°Quickly look, Fang Xinxin¡¯s news is no longer trending. Most of the posts across the major media websites have also been taken down.¡±
¡°The discussion was suppressed so quickly. It must be Bai Qinghao¡¯s work.¡± Fang Ln clenched her fists unhappily. ¡°We can¡¯t afford to provoke Bai Qinghao!¡±
Long Shuhai suggested soothingly. ¡°Since Fang Xinxin¡¯s reputation has mostly been destroyed, how about we ease up on this matter?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was dark. ¡°As if we could rely on you! I have my own ns.¡±

A momentter, she received a call. The other party informed her that after seeing the matter dispersing quickly, Bai Qinghao was no longer interfering with it.
¡°Did you hear that?¡± Fang Ln harrumphed coldly. ¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s reputation is too dirty. The Bai family is such a powerful family. How could they possibly like an unfilial woman? Even Bai Qinghao is leaving this matter alone.¡±
Long Shuhai became excited. ¡°If he won¡¯t interfere, Fang Xinxin will definitely be ruined!¡±
At this moment, Fang Manxue whimpered softly. She gradually woke up from her unconscious state. There were several bandages on her face. Her arms and legs were aching and her body was littered with wounds. ¡°Mom, did you arrest all my schoolmates who hurt me? I want them all to be killed!¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s voice conveyed the injustice she felt on behalf of her daughter. ¡°Daughter, all those witnesses said that they didn¡¯t see anyone hurt you. The police didn¡¯t open a case for this and are only treating it as an ident.¡±
¡°There were so many reporters at the event. I don¡¯t believe that there wasn¡¯t any footage of them attacking me!¡±
¡°It¡¯s obvious that Bai Qinghao interfered in this matter. He informed everyone that they were not allowed to capture any footage of it.¡±
¡°It must have been Fang Xinxin, that cheap wore, who told him to do it!¡± Fang Manxue sat up in anger and identally tugged on her wounds. ¡°Ss... I¡¯m dying of pain! I was beaten up so badly that I can¡¯t even get off the bed. This is all Fang Xinxin¡¯s fault! I¡¯m going to kill her! Kill her!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao is protecting Fang Xinxin. It won¡¯t be that easy to kill her.¡± A hint of hatred appeared in Fang Ln¡¯s eyes. She gritted her teeth. ¡°Wait and see. Mom will ruin her for you!¡±
...
In Jing Hua University¡¯s D1 dormitory building, Fang Xinxinid on the bed to rest.
At this moment, Sun Jiamu was extremely worried about the development of the post, much more than she was. ¡°The posts that Bai Qinghao had deleted are re-surfacing again. What should we do? Should we continue asking Bai Qinghao to help?¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one who told him not to interfere with this matter.¡± Fang Xinxin understood Fang Ln too well. She knew with certainty that there was more toe. She would wait to deal with all of it when Fang Ln was finally done.
¡°Ai, why are you so silly...¡± Sun Jiamu said in a worried voice.
¡°You¡¯re a student at Jing Hua University. That makes you eye-catching enough. You¡¯re also Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If this matter is suppressed, it won¡¯t be that big of an issue. But if this goes on any longer, the entire country will know that you¡¯re unfilial. By then, your future will be ruined.¡±
She deliberated over it. ¡°But, as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, I suppose you can just marry him. You won¡¯t have to look for a job either...¡±
¡°No.¡± Fang Xinxin firmly responded. ¡°I need to work. In fact, I¡¯ve already started working. As a woman, building our own worth is the way to be more attractive!¡±
¡°Alright then. How have you been building your charisma?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve just been working on some games and earning some money through stocks.¡±
Sun Jiamu felt that it was strange for a university student like her to be involved in online games. Furthermore, ying with stocks would likely only earn her some pocket money. It was only muchter that she understood just how well Fang Xinxin was doing.
Knock, knock!
Someone was knocking on their dormitory door. Fang Xinxin turned in confusion to see a beautiful girl in her early twenties standing there.
¡°Who is Fang Xinxin?¡± She arrogantly began.
¡°It¡¯s me. What do you need?¡±
The girl sized her up. ¡°It turns out that you¡¯re Fang Xinxin. You don¡¯t even have the basic morals a person should have. It¡¯s one matter if you¡¯re throwing your own face away. You¡¯ve even humiliated Jing Hua University. How do you have the face to stay here any longer? If I were you, I would already have quit school.¡±
Chapter 353: Fishing For Compliments
Chapter 353: Fishing For Compliments
She ran her mouth off the moment she arrived. It was clear that she was here to create trouble. Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to even look at her. ¡°This is unrted to you.¡±
But the female student continued pressing on. ¡°After you managed to give away a billion dor donation for Jing Hua University, I assumed that you had apassionate character. But now it seems like you were only fishing forpliments. You did it all for your own vanity. You won¡¯t even visit your own mother! As if you¡¯re kind!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that I was kind.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°You said that I¡¯m vain and that I¡¯m fishing forpliments, didn¡¯t you?¡±
As if she would donate such arge sum of money when she was in a hurry to earn more. It was Bai Qinghao who had nned this for her.
She stood up and grabbed the girl by her elbow. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll make a trip to the principal¡¯s office and demand for the billion dors that Bai Qinghao donated on my behalf back. Such arge sum of money is worth much more than any reputation! After sacrificing such arge sum, I didn¡¯t even manage to obtain any benefit. Now Jing Hua University¡¯s old and torn down dormitory won¡¯t be renovated. This will all be your fault.¡±
The female student finally turned pale. She knew that many students yearned for a newer and better dormitory.
If Fang Xinxin really asked for the money to be given back, Fang Xinxin would only suffer a little blow to her reputation but she would be Jing Hua University¡¯s public enemy.
¡°I won¡¯t go, I won¡¯t go!¡± The girl immediately began struggling.
In fact, Fang Xinxin did not n on actually demanding the sum back. In the first ce, it was impossible to request for a refund on a donation. She was simply ying a trick on this student who had yet to enter society. However, if she made use of Bai Qinghao¡¯s name, everything would be possible.
The two of them struggled outside the dormitory room entrance and drew a lot of attention.
Sun Jiamu approached and shoved the girl. She clearly knew her as she addressed her by her name. ¡°Ke Tianai, did water seep into your brain? The sun has yet to set and you¡¯ve alreadye here to cause trouble. Xinxin made arge donation to Jing Hua University. This is an extremely good matter yet you used it to insult her. If your family is that rich and capable, we won¡¯t request you donate a billion. How about one-tenth of that amount? If you have the ability, why don¡¯t you take out ten million dors to start with?¡±
¡°I...¡± Ke Tianaiplexion turned bright red. She tried to find excuses for herself. ¡°It¡¯s because Fang Xinxin is too unfilial. I can¡¯t stand watching in silence...¡±
The students around them spoke up for Fang Xinxin. ¡°These are two separate matters. How can you club them together? People aren¡¯t purely good or bad.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I bet you¡¯re just jealous that Fang Xinxin is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I heard that your Ke family is dreaming of a marriage alliance with the Bai family, but you didn¡¯t have any opportunity to make it happen...¡± After one of the students said this, Ke Tianai immediately turned pale.
She shuffled her feet and ran away.
Fang Xinxin took in her escaping back view. ¡°Ke Tianai. Why does this name sound so familiar?¡±
Sun Jiamu responded immediately. ¡°A while ago, didn¡¯t your second sister make posts on the school forum iming to have ¡®arranged¡¯ a fianc¨¦ for you? She is your fake fianc¨¦, Ke Tianbao¡¯s, sister. Ke Tianai is also studying in Jing Hua University. She¡¯s from Year 2, ss 1.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t even know Ke Tianai. To think that Fang Manxue had the face to im that she was engaged to her brother.¡± One of the older, female students sighed. ¡°I finally realised that Fang Manxue¡¯s face is thicker than the Great Wall of China. Speaking of which, Fang Xinxin, your mother isn¡¯t the only one hospitalised. Your second sister, Fang Manxue has also been injured and is in the hospital. Won¡¯t you go visit them?¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head.
¡°You¡¯ll drown from the public¡¯s saliva.¡± The older female student kindly gestured at the crowd. ¡°We all came to watch the show. News about Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e is much more interesting than our sses.¡±
¡°Do as you like.¡± Fang Xinxin returned to her own bed andid down.
All of a sudden, a girl shouted. ¡°Ah, am I seeing things? I actually see God Bai Qinghao here!¡±
Chapter 354: Cut Bai Qinghao Up
Chapter 354: Cut Bai Qinghao Up
¡°Our male idol is really here!¡± Another female student cried out in excitement.
An SUV was parked right outside the dormitory entrance. Bai Qinghao was dressed in a suit. He made his way up to the second storey and headed straight for Fang Xinxin¡¯s dormitory room.
This time, there was only one bodyguard following behind him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and stern. It was impossible to ignore his charisma as he walked past everyone. His aura was extremely powerful!
All the students in the hallway immediately leaned close to the wall and opened up a path for him.
When Fang Xinxin heard themotion, she immediately sat up. She ran out of the room in excitement only to m against an extremely firm ¡®wall¡¯.
She lifted her head. Isn¡¯t this Bai Qinghao?
Bai Qinghao carefully rubbed her reddened forehead in heartache. His cold tone was reprimanding. ¡°How old are you? Be more careful!¡±
¡°Why are you here?¡± Fang Xinxin asked softly.
¡°Although you won¡¯t let me interfere with the post, since you¡¯re in trouble, as your fianc¨¦, I naturally have to be by your side.¡± His expression was stony and did not reveal any of his emotions.
However, his frigid cold gaze could not conceal his concern.
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved by his words. She felt her heart warming up.
She silently decided that in the future, no matter what happened, she would also be by his side.
¡°Wow, God Bai Qinghao really cares a lot for Fang Xinxin. His voice is so cold yet so heartwarming...¡± The female students watching in the hallway stared at Bai Qinghao in excitement.
Their eyes were emitting pink hearts and they were just about to begin drooling.
¡°Please get me a dozen fianc¨¦s like this!¡±
It wasn¡¯t clear who had shouted this. Within the crowd, Qian Xiaotian felt that her own appearance was quite outstanding and immediately attempted to step in. ¡°CEO Bai, Fang Xinxin is so ugly. Her character is also poor. Won¡¯t you consider changing your fianc¨¦e?¡±
When she asked this, everyone instantly became silent. They were all waiting for his response nervously.
If Bai Qinghao agreed, everyone watching had a chance to participate in this. They were prepared to charge forward and cut him up. It was enough if they each had a share!
Fang Xinxin was not angry. She casually crossed her arms and stood by the side to watch the show.
Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows. He shifted his frigid sharp gaze onto Qian Xiaoke. ¡°To who?¡±
Qian Xiaoke trembled under his ice-cold gaze. She felt as though she waspletely seen through. Her heart could not help but turn cold as well.
However, she still felt excited that Bai Qinghao took a nce at her. ¡°How about me? I¡¯m also an outstanding student in Jing Hua University. My name is Qian Xiaoke. I¡¯m currently a Year 4...¡±
¡°You¡¯re not good enough.¡± He responded simply with four words as though he could not be bothered to waste even a single breath on her.
Qian Xiaoke¡¯s passion was met with outright rejection. The humiliation was worse than death.
The other female students instantly gave up after his response. Since they could not obtain Bai Qinghao¡¯s attention, it was best to at least save themselves some face.
This was within Fang Xinxin¡¯s expectations.
In her previous life, even till the day she died, Bai Qinghao did not seriously look at any other woman. If he was willing to change fianc¨¦es, the sun would surely rise from the west.
Her heart was filled with warmth.
This time little heart shaped bubbles seemed to be escaping Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes as she stared at Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao took in his fianc¨¦e¡¯s loving gaze. Subconsciously, a smile appeared on his cold features. This instantly melted the spectating girls¡¯ hearts.
Qian Xiaoke, however, bit her bottom lip painfully. She could not stand being publicly humiliated. ¡°Earlier, Fang Xinxin openly said she would not visit her own mother in the hospital. If I¡¯m not good enough, does that mean an unfilial girl like Fang Xinxin is good enough?¡±
Chapter 355: Destroying His Good Looks
Chapter 355: Destroying His Good Looks
Originally, Bai Qinghao could not be bothered to respond to a passer-by. However, arge group of Jing Hua University¡¯s students had gathered around. He did not wish for Fang Xinxin to face future difficulties in school.
Thus, he began speaking in a low, heavy tone. ¡°My fianc¨¦e naturally has her own reasons for not visiting Fang Ln in the hospital. No matter where or when, I¡¯ll always believe in her.¡±
His heavy, cold voice conveyed his promise and sincerity.
It was impossible to doubt his words.
He reached out and dominatingly held Fang Xinxin¡¯s thin shoulders. He then firmly brought her into his arms. ¡°As for whether or not she is good enough for me, right from the beginning, the two of us have been each other¡¯s. It was that way when we were young and it remains so now. It will be this way even in the future.¡±
¡°Wah, God Bai Qinghao is so cool!¡± One of the female students eximed.
Another female student appeared deeply moved. ¡°This is so touching. Although he wasn¡¯t talking to me...¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re so lucky.¡± Several female students chimed in. ¡°With such an amazing fianc¨¦, it¡¯s akin to obtaining the world.¡±
Fang Xinxin received a wave of admiring looks and responded with a smile.
She simrly felt that she had exchanged eight lives worth of luck in order to obtain Bai Qinghao¡¯s love.
Sun Jiamu watched by the side silently. She felt happy for Fang Xinxin.
The crowd watching them was starting to grow. Fang Xinxin followed Bai Qinghao into the SUV parked downstairs.
The chauffeur sat in the driver¡¯s seat, while a bodyguard sat by his side.
In the backseat, Fang Xinxin shifted her body to lean into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms. Unlike the previous time she sat in this car, currently, she was basically stered on his body. She pressed her little face into his firm chest.
He watched as she kept rubbing her little face against him. Although his heart was melting in joy, his expression remained unfazed. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have the face to meet anyone,¡± she responded gloomily.
He frowned. ¡°Did the nurse¡¯s post cause you trouble? I¡¯ll settle it immediately. I won¡¯t allow it to affect you.¡±
He had already obtained evidence that Fang Ln was not actually involved in a car ident.
There was no need to find an excuse for Fang Xinxin. He could easily force Fang Ln to make a public apology and cease the dispute.
¡°I¡¯m not talking about that.¡± She furrowed her brows. ¡°You¡¯re too handsome. I¡¯m too ugly. We¡¯re notpatible.¡±
¡°That can be easily settled.¡± Bai Qinghao brought a copsible knife out of his pocket and lifted it to his face. Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes were sharp. She grabbed the de before it could touch his skin. ¡°Have you gone crazy!¡±
The chauffeur, Li Bingpan and the bodyguard apanying them in the car were simrly frightened by Bai Qinghao¡¯s insane actions.
Their boss was destroying his own good looks... he was really crazy!
Due to Fang Xinxin¡¯s earlier actions, there was now a long cut on her palm. Bai Qinghao immediately felt his heart throbbing painfully. ¡°You¡¯re the crazy one!¡±
¡°How can you even think of ruining your good looks!¡± She reprimanded him unhappily.
Thankfully, she had stopped him in time and prevented his face from suffering any injuries.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re too ugly, and that we¡¯re notpatible?¡± He frowned sternly. ¡°If my looks are ruined, won¡¯t we be a perfect match?¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin was speechless.
When Li Bingpan and the bodyguard heard this, their jaws nearly fell off.
Powerful figures like him relied on their good image for many circumstances. If Boss¡¯s good looks were ruined, with his position, a lot of rivals would definitelye targeting his ruined image...
Could it be that for a woman, their boss would not even pause to consider the repercussions?
Fang Xinxin naturally knew this as well. She asked him with some anger in her voice. ¡°Bai Qinghao, if you ruin your looks, what about your future!¡±
Chapter 356: I Am Yours And You Can Only Be Mine
Chapter 356: I Am Yours And You Can Only Be Mine
Bai Qinghao was expressionless.
His face was as cold and sharp as a dagger. ¡°All I know is that, if your unhappiness with my looks leads to any risk of my losing you... As a man, the first thing I should do is to give my own woman a sense of security. If I can¡¯t even protect you, what¡¯s the point of discussing my future!¡±
He then changed his topic. ¡°What¡¯s important amongst men is ability. Even if my looks are ruined, at most it¡¯ll be harder for others to look at me. It won¡¯t affect my future.¡±
He was a true man. He was not one to rely on his face for a living! Fang Xinxin was moved but at the same time, she felt her heart break.
Bai Qinghao took in her expression and assumed that she was still worried. His cold, heavy voice turned slightly gentle. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just you alone... you won¡¯t be able to finish spending my money even in ten lifetimes.¡±
Uu... she wasn¡¯t sure if it was because her wound was hurting or because she was moved. She felt the urge to cry.
She pouted. ¡°I haven¡¯t even married you. You¡¯re already thinking about me spending your money...¡±
Although it was true that he had already given her quite some money...
He always gave her in sums of millions and billions. Even if she didn¡¯t want them.
He was truly too good. Sigh!
¡°From the moment we were engaged...¡± He demandingly and firmly announced his ownership, ¡°I was yours. And you can only be mine!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± She reached out her uninjured hand and touched his face. She tactfully requested. ¡°But I like your handsome features. In the future, don¡¯t try to ruin your looks again, alright?¡±
If it was something she liked, he naturally would agree to it. ¡°Ok.¡±
He suppressed the warm emotions after being caressed by her and shifted his gaze onto the bleeding wound on her right hand. As his heart was hurting too much, his expression was as dark as coal.
He immediately reached for the first aid kit in the car and used a clean bandage to stop her wound from bleeding. ¡°Are you regretting it after seeing the blood?¡±
She firmly responded. ¡°No.¡±
She actually did not regret getting injured for him...
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved, but he only spat out one word in heartache. ¡°Fool! You¡¯re not allowed to do this again!¡±
He would rather be stabbed than to let her suffer the slightest harm.
¡°I got it,¡± although she responded this way, if she had a second chance, she would make the same choice.
Li Bingpan and bodyguard were simrly surprised by Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions.
To think that girl would grab a knife by the de. That required a lot of... courage.
Of course, for people like them who had gone through training, this was a small matter. But for a girl, her actions could be considered brave.
It seemed that her feelings for Boss were quite deep. This was unlike the rumours which imed that she liked Bai Chenxi.
Fang Xinxin lowered her head and watched as Bai Qinghao disinfected her wound and applied some medicine on it. His movements were smooth and well-practiced.
She knew that there were countless people after his life. He had suffered many ambushes and had gotten injured several times. Even without a doctor, he could easily manage to take care of a simple wound.
¡°Go to the hospital!¡± Bai Qinghao coldlymanded.
Li Bingpan held the steering wheel and was about to turn the car around when Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°You¡¯ve already cleaned the wound. It¡¯ll be fine since it¡¯s not a deep cut. Let¡¯s find a restaurant for dinner. I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat some seafood.¡±
Bai Qinghao could not bear to starve her. He hesitated for a moment before changing his decision. ¡°To ¡®Imperial Capital¡¯.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± The SUV immediately headed in a different direction.
¡®Imperial Capital¡¯ was the most extravagant seafood restaurant in the city centre. It¡¯s prices were high and it¡¯s environment was luxurious. Most of its clients were wealthy, powerful people.
Chapter 357: Security Issues
Chapter 357: Security Issues
A simple meal here would cost thousands and most people really could not afford to eat at this ce.
Five minutester, the SUV drove into the carpark of the restaurant¡¯s entrance.
The bodyguard alighted first and carefully checked the surroundings.
Bai Qinghao nced at the restaurant and noticed several customers having their meals. He began coldly. ¡°Clear the restaurant.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not do that.¡± Fang Xinxin tugged on his sleeve. ¡°We cameter while those guys were already here. We can eat without clearing the ce.¡±
She knew that he preferred a quiet environment when he ate. However, she noticed that the other customers were enjoying their food. It wasn¡¯t good to disturb their meals.
Li Bingpan felt that Fang Xinxin was truly a foolish woman who wasn¡¯t capable enough.
Boss¡¯s identity was unique. It was difficult to guarantee that there wouldn¡¯t be anyone present with unkind intentions.
Clearing the ce would ensure his safety.
Of course, he wasn¡¯t as silly as Liu Li. He would not express his thoughts without pausing to think.
Considering the level to which Boss spoiled Fang Xinxin, there was no benefit in offending her.
Fang Xinxin had been married to Bai Qinghao for ten years in her past life. She naturally knew that there were people after Bai Qinghao¡¯s life.
However, she had lived for one lifetime and knew that they wouldn¡¯t be facing any danger today.
Bai Qinghao called the bodyguard back. ¡°Follow Fang Xinxin¡¯s orders.¡±
The bodyguard obediently retreated behind him.
The four of them stepped into the restaurant.
Five beautiful employees weed them at the entrance. They bowed to greet them in unison. ¡°Wee!¡±
Fang Xinxin scanned the extravagant lounge. All the waitresses were beautiful women and their heights ranged between 1.60 metres to 1.80 metres.
Restaurants targeted at the wealthy were indeed different.
She originally wanted to take the window seat with Bai Qinghao. However, she considered his safety and opted for a private room instead.
Li Bingpan and the bodyguard stood outside the room.
The private room was furnished with exquisite, imperial wallpapers. A sparkling chandelier was hung in the middle of the room and a yellow, silk table cloth covered the luxurious wooden dining table.
Fang Xinxin was about to sit when Bai Qinghao stepped forward and tugged the chair out for her.
She was moved by his thoughtfulness. Her lips curved into a smile.
Bai Qinghao sat down by her side and spoke with some ruefulness. ¡°Strictly speaking, this is our first time dining together outside.¡±
She nced at him and sighed. ¡°There will be more opportunities in the future.¡±
In her previous life, the two of them ate together outside once in a while. However, she always ruined the atmosphere and caused them to part unhappily.
She had never sat quietly in a private room with him before.
A beautiful waitress approached respectfully. ¡°Hello, please have a look at our menu.¡±
Perhaps it was because the waitress often worked with wealthy clients, but she clearly seemed to have recognised Bai Qinghao. She gave him a few extra nces but respectfully maintained the tradition of providing service to dies first¡¯. She handed the menu to Fang Xinxin first.
Fang Xinxin flipped through the exquisite menu book. She scanned the Chinese and English words describing each seafood dish and hesitated about what to order.
She felt somewhat guilty. After avoiding him and hating him in her previous life, she did not know what Bai Qinghao liked to eat.
¡°Do you eat seafood?¡± she asked.
¡°I¡¯m not picky.¡± He watched her with his heavy, distant gaze and revealed a small, doting smile. As long as they were dishes that she chose, regardless of whether they suited his taste, he would eat them all.
¡°Then I¡¯ll pick whatever I like.¡± She only ordered an Australian Lobster and Giant Squid dish.
It was not because of the price, but because she was trying to lose weight. She did not dare to eat too much.
Chapter 358: Please Raise Me!
Chapter 358: Please Raise Me!
She had ordered too little, making Bai Qinghao frown. He received the menu and flipped through it. He then drew a circle around a page with his finger. ¡°Bring all of these.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at the menu in his hands. Australian King Crab, Pacific Geoducks, French Belon Oysters, Antic Bluefin Tuna...
These were all extremely expensive!
It would be a waste if they could not finish the dishes.
However, she would be throwing Bai Qinghao¡¯s face away if she stopped him now. It was better to proceed even if they could not finish it.
The beautiful waitress thought to herself that, as expected, the male idol was much cooler when he ordered. ¡°Understood, sir.¡±
Bai Qinghao closed the menu. ¡°Bring a bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. And a ss of milk.¡±
¡°Please wait a moment. It will be here immediately.¡± The female waitress tapped on her electronic device and retreated to the side.
In luxury restaurants like this, there was a waitress assigned to every single table. There was no need for them to even remove the bones from their fish personally.
Their dishes were served within five minutes. Several service staff entered with trays of food.
As this was a hotpot, seafood restaurant, all the dishes could be directly ced into the pot.
The expensive seafood was a feast for the eyes. It was luxurious to the point where it stirred their appetites just by looking at the food.
The beautiful waitress by the side asked him. ¡°Sir, would you like to open the bottle of wine now?¡±
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly.
The waitress opened the bottle professionally with an opener. She filled Fang Xinxin¡¯s and Bai Qinghao¡¯s sses till they were three quarters full.
Fang Xinxin received the ss and took a sip. Bai Qinghao immediately took the ss away from her. ¡°Alright. One sip is enough.¡±
He then handed the ss of milk, which he ordered earlier, to her. ¡°You can drink this.¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Why? You can¡¯t bear for me to drink such an expensive wine?¡±
She recalled that the wine he had casually ordered was a 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. It was worth thirty thousand dors.
She had nned to spend a few thousand dors on this meal.
But the drinks and dishes he ordered... would easily cost at least eighty thousand dors. This one meal alone would be sufficient for them to purchase a small studio apartment.
One truly could not afford to provoke the stomachs of the wealthy.
Perhaps it was better to let Bai Qinghao settle the billter?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression darkened at her words. ¡°What¡¯s running through your mind?¡±
He leaned close to her and whispered into her ears. ¡°Aren¡¯t you having ¡®that¡¯ right now? It¡¯s not suitable for you to drink wine during this time. It¡¯s bad for your body.¡±
He sure was considerate. He had even thought about this. Fang Xinxin rewarded him with an eye roll. ¡°If you were only going to let me have a sip, why did you order such an expensive wine?¡±
¡°This is our first time dining out together.¡± Although he spoke seriously, a hint of suspicious flush appeared on his cheeks. ¡°It would spoil the atmosphere if we didn¡¯t have any wine.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know that the Great Male God would be this specific about being romantic,¡± sheughed. He spent thirty thousand dors for the atmosphere. She felt her flesh hurting.
¡°Go on andugh.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was fixated on her little face.
Her skin was covered in scabs and he could not figure out her expression. As he took in her sparkling eyes, he suddenly understood. ¡°Are you upset about the price?¡±
¡°No.¡± She was stubborn and refused to admit to it.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. You¡¯ll never catch up to the speed at which I spend money.¡± Bai Qinghao rubbed Fang Xinxin¡¯s head dotingly.
Fang Xinxin, naturally, knew of this. He even had a share in the taxes collected in his territories. Furthermore, the Sheng Corporation was a global finance group.
Her fianc¨¦ was basically an ultimate, high-ss,rge diamond! He was noble and rich!
The beautiful waitress listened by the side and stared at Bai Qinghao with eyes green with envy. Her gaze was loudly pleading ¨C please raise me!
Chapter 359: Imperial City
Chapter 359: Imperial City
Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao did not give the waitress even a single look. In fact, he found her an eyesore. ¡°Leave us for now.¡±
The beautiful waitress had hoped to provide more service to Bai Qinghao but could only respectfully respond politely. ¡°I understand. Please call me whenever you need.¡± She then left the room unwillingly.
¡°The Imperial City is not only famous for its fresh, expensive and air-flown seafood. They also offer more than thirty different seasoning sauces that taste unique and delicious. No matter how other restaurants try to imitate, they¡¯ll never be able to replicate the same, unforgettable tastes...¡± Fang Xinxin expressed with some admiration.
In her previous lifetime, she rarely visited expensive seafood restaurants like this one. The only time it happened was when Bai Qinghao brought her along after they were married.
At the time, he had chosen this exact restaurant.
Unfortunately...
After Bai Chenxi learned of it, he expressed his disappointment towards her.
At the time, she was foolish and had her heart set on Bai chenxi. In order to show her loyalty to her ¡®God¡¯, Bai Chenxi, she then dered she would never allow Bai Qinghao to treat her to meals again.
Ever since then, unless there was absolutely no choice, she never dined out with Bai Qinghao again.
As a result, she yearned for the taste of the seafood here till this day.
Bai Qinghao took in her expression. ¡°You¡¯ve been here before?¡±
From what he knew, this should be her first time visiting.
¡°No.¡± She shook her head.
It wasn¡¯t possible to im he had brought her here in their previous lifetime.
He lifted his brows. ¡°Then, why do you appear so emotional?¡±
¡°I read about this restaurant on a food blog.¡± She randomly found an excuse.
He did not ask her any more questions. Instead, he nced at her injured right hand with some heartache. ¡°Your hand is injured. It isn¡¯t convenient for you to eat. I¡¯ll feed you.¡±
She did not refuse and was happy to ept his service. ¡°En.¡±
Suddenly, a young man rushed into the private room with a medicine box in hand. ¡°CEO, you called me over so urgently! Where are your injuries?¡±
When Fang Xinxin saw him, she stood up in agitation. ¡°Doctor Shi Qian!¡±
Bai Qinghao took in her response and disliked the fact that she was showing such emotions over another man. ¡°You know him?¡±
Of course she did. In her previous life, Fang Xinxin only managed to lose weight long after she was married. Due to the long-term damage to her skin, the scabs on her face were very deep. Even after they fell off, they leftrge, red scars behind. It had been a serious challenge trying to help them fade.
She was even told there was a possibility the scars would be permanent.
At the time, she had found several famous doctors but none of them were able to help her. Shi Qian was the only person who was capable but he refused to give her a prescription as he had a poor opinion about her.
Eventually, it was Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders that forced him to do so.
His treatment caused all her scars topletely disappear. Not only that, her skin even became healthier.
He was an extremely capable doctor and this matter was rted to her goal of eventually regaining her good looks. Even if she was not genuinely agitated, she needed to put on an act to gain some favourability points from the other party.
¡°Doctor Shi. His medical skills are extraordinary. Even after taking into ount all the doctors who operate under Sheng Shi Group¡¯s hospitals, his skills are one of the best. He is even a consultant for ten famous hospitals in the city centre. There is no way one would not have heard of him.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Even if I¡¯ve never met him, I¡¯ve read about him online.¡±
Her scabs were about to fall off. If she guessed correctly, the same scars would soon form. She needed Doctor Shi¡¯s prescription...
She did not wish to trouble Bai Qinghao again. She hoped for the other party to willingly provide her with the medicine.
¡°Miss Fang is too kind.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s attitude was very cold.
It was no secret that this woman had loved Bai Chenxi ever since she was young.

Chapter 360: He Disliked Other Men Touching Her

He did not feel any fondness for her whatsoever.
In fact, all the people who followed CEO Bai¡¯s side did not have any positive feelings for her.
However, considering that she looked down even on CEO Bai, he was rather surprised that she looked up to a doctor like him. ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Miss Fang. It seems like you¡¯ve lost some weight.¡±
He shouldered many different responsibilities. One of them included being CEO Bai¡¯s private doctor. Thus, he had naturally met Fang Xinxin before.
¡°I merely had some sess with my diet.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled politely.
Shi Qian did not pay her any attention post that. He scanned the icy-cold Bai Qinghao and immediately changed his indifferent attitude for an expressive one. ¡°CEO, you appearpletely fine on the surface. Are you suffering from any hidden diseases?¡±
¡°Are you looking for death?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was as sharp as knives.
Shi Qian immediately became obedient. ¡°I would never dare. May I know why you called me here?¡±
¡°Her hand is injured. Treat the wound.¡± Bai Qinghao nced at Fang Xinxin with heartache.
Fang Xinxin finally understood the reason for his presence. It turned out that Bai Qinghao had called Shi Qian over because he was still concerned about her injury. He wanted her to receive treatment from a professional doctor.
Her idol was so thoughtful!
Shi Qian approached Fang Xinxin and carelessly nced at her hand. ¡°Hasn¡¯t it been bandaged? It¡¯ll be fine.¡± It would be fine even if this woman died.
Bai Qinghao was dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude. He snapped heavily. ¡°Check carefully!¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Shi Qian was about to grab Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand when Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°Put on a pair of gloves!¡±
Shi Qian found this troublesome. ¡°This subordinate does not have mysophobia. There shouldn¡¯t be any need for it, right?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like other men touching my women,¡± there was a hint of warmth in his demanding tone.
¡°...¡± Shi Qian rebutted in his heart. It turns out that the Great CEO is jealous!
You¡¯re the only one who treasures Fang Xinxin, this ugly trash. Even if she has lost weight, isn¡¯t she just as ugly as ever?
Aside from Fang Xinxin, no one else had been reborn. Thus, even Shi Qian did not know of her actual looks hidden under the scabs.
He helplessly brought out a pair of white gloves meant for medical purposes. He lifted Fang Xinxin¡¯s right hand and scanned it carefully. ¡°Although the wound is long, it¡¯s not very deep. The medicine was applied in time. As long as the wound doesn¡¯te into contact with water or dirt, it¡¯ll be fine in a few days.¡±
In the past, he had met Fang Xinxin a few times in the Yu Ting Vi. He recalled that back then, she was as dark and fat as a ck pig.
As a professional doctor, he suspected she had taken weight-gain drugs.
She could have consumed it by ident, or someone else could have drugged her. However, he could not be bothered to interfere with her matters and hence never pointed it out.
In fact, he stood on the same side as Liu Li. He simrly felt that when this woman stood next to their CEO, she was disgracing their noble and outstanding CEO.
He did not expect Fang Xinxin to lose weight. Even her skin was fairer now...
He noticed that her figure was truly slender and exquisite. Her skin also appeared fair and delicate to the point where it seemed like it would tear easily.
Furthermore, as he held her hand in his palm, he noticed that it was extremely small. Her fingers were thin and long. This was exactly how he expected the hands of a wealthy family¡¯s daughter to appear. They were extremely suited for ying instruments like the piano...
This was his first time bing dazed from the sight of a woman¡¯s hands.
¡°Cough!¡± Bai Qinghao coughed loudly in unhappiness. He narrowed his eyes. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡±
Shi Qian immediately returned to himself. ¡°I¡¯ve checked carefully. Miss Fang is really fine.¡±
Bai Qinghao finally rxed. He coldly and heavily announced. ¡°You can scram now!¡±
¡°No way, CEO. This subordinate rushed over so urgently. I haven¡¯t even eaten...¡± Shi Qian took in the table of dishes and the bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild wine. ¡°May I know if this subordinate could have the honor of staying back to dine with you?¡±
Chapter 361: The Price Of Being A Lightbulb
Chapter 361: The Price Of Being A Lightbulb
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
The table of dishes amounted up to eighty thousand dors. Regardless of how wealthy he was, it was still a great distance away from what the CEO could afford. He also rarely had the opportunity to taste such an expensive bottle of wine.
¡°Yes, Qinghao.¡± Fang Xinxin did not actually wish to have an extra lightbulb with the.
However, in order to sessfully obtain the prescription she needed, she spoke up for him. ¡°How about we let Doctor Shi have a meal with us? We won¡¯t be able to finish all this food, anyway.¡±
¡°Thank you, Miss Fang.¡± Shi Qian did not wait for themander to refuse him. He immediately pulled a chair out and sat down with his thick skin.
¡°...¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was heavy to the point where frost was nearly forming. However, he did not insist that the man leave.
The number of people enjoying this meal increased from two to three.
Shi Qian, then, watched in astonishment as his noble CEO personally fed Fang Xinxin the oysters and peeled the crabs for her...
Every single mouthful of rice and dish that Fang Xinxin had was fed by the CEO¡¯s hands.
Although her right hand was injured, her left hand waspletely fine. Was there a need for his CEO to treat her like a ¡®baby¡¯?
¡°CEO, this subordinate is willing to give up everything he owns, if you would be willing to feed me just once.¡± Shi Qian sincerely pleaded.
Bai Qinghao brought the fresh crab meat to Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips. He watched as she opened her mouth and ate it before revealing a satisfied expression.
Shi Qian assumed that he did not hear him and spoke up once more. ¡°CEO, this subordinate is once more requesting to exchange everything he owns, for you to feed me just once...¡±
Although his personal wealth was not small, if he could have the CEO feed him once, it would be more than enough for him to boast for the rest of his life.
Besides, he could always earn more money.
Bai Qinghao finally rewarded him with one word in irritation. ¡°Scram!¡±
Shi Qian finally understood the difference in treatment he receivedpared to Fang Xinxin. He obediently closed his mouth and focused on eating.
After their meal, the restaurant owner personally brought the bill over. He bowed down to apologise. ¡°CEO Bai, may I know if your bodyguard paid for the bill incorrectly? This meal costs a total of $70,580. As you own the highest level of membership in our restaurant, we gave you a ten percent discount. Your bodyguard only paid $43,348 dors... There is still an outstanding amount of more than $20,000...¡±
When Shi Qian heard this, he immediately had a sense of foreboding. There was no way the CEO¡¯s bodyguard would have made a mistake like this...
¡°There isn¡¯t any mistake.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded coldly. ¡°Exin it to the owner!¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± The bodyguard standing outside stepped in to exin with a stony expression. ¡°Miss Fang ate less than a tenth of the food on the table. The remaining of which was eaten by the CEO and Doctor Shi. The CEO has paid for the food he ate with his fianc¨¦e. Sixty percent of the sum is exactly $43,348. Doctor Shi Qian, from the beginning, our CEO did not invite you to eat with them. Please pay for your food with your own money.¡±
¡°No way...¡± Shi Qian immediately felt like crying. His expression was miserable.
Bai Qinghao did not pay him any attention. He held Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoulder to leave the private room.
In fact, Fang Xinxin wanted to pay for Shi Qian.
However, she understood that Bai Qinghao was not a stingy person. For her sake, he could easily spend several million dors on clothes and donate up to a billion dors without pausing to blink...
He was simply angry at Shi Qian for disturbing their meal and was taking it out on him in this manner!
If she interfered anymore, she was certain that Shi Qian¡¯s consequences would be worse.
Thus, she only paused for a moment and turned back to wave at Shi Qian helplessly. ¡°Doctor Shi, why don¡¯t you just treat it as if you¡¯ve just had an expensive meal?¡±
It seemed like she wouldn¡¯t be able to repair her rtionship with Doctor Shi as she hoped. She would still have to request for Bai Qinghao¡¯s help to force him to give her a prescription.

Chapter 362: Trust Her (Part 1)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Shi Qian¡¯s face fell. It was truly expensive...
This was not his first time doing this. However, in the past, his CEO always paid for his food.
He wasn¡¯t sure what went wrong today. He now had to pay out of his own pockets. His gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin, who was being held by the CEO.
Suddenly, he understood the reason. This was the price of being an unwanted third guest.
Unfortunately, he paid more than twenty thousand dors to learn this lesson.
The restaurant made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture to Shi Qian with a smile. ¡°Please proceed to pay.¡±
Shi Qian helplessly brought his own card out.
When Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao left the restaurant, they realised that a lot of reporters had gathered at the entrance. It was clear they knew that the two of them were dining here and had gathered to wait for them.
Across the street, an LED screen disy on one of the high-rise buildings was ying a live-broadcast of today¡¯s news.
On the screen, Fang Ln was shown covered in bandages. She was sitting on the bed with a paleplexion as she gave an interview to the media.
She was covered in tears and was crying. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Mom really misses you. I really need you. I don¡¯t need you to be filial, but I only hope for you to visit me in the hospital just once. Just once will do, alright?¡±
The screen then switched to a different scene as the host spoke, ¡°In the 21st century, no one would expect such an unfilial person to appear in our civilized society. Furthermore, ording to the reporter¡¯s understanding, Madam Fang Ln¡¯s daughter, Fang Xinxin, is a student in the one and only Jing Hua University. Besides being a student, she possesses another important status. She is Bai Qinghao¡¯s, the mind behind the outstanding Shen Shi Group, fianc¨¦e. Logically speaking, considering that Fang Xinxin¡¯s status is so important and eye-catching, filial piety is a value she should be upholding. Is it really that difficult to pay a visit to your own birth mother after she has suffered a car ident?¡±
Fang Xinxin paused at the sight of the news. As expected, Fang Ln had more schemes still up her sleeve.
To think she managed to ¡®act¡¯ out such a lowly scene. The nurse¡¯s post was simply an incident where someone else acted as a busybody. This time, Fang Ln herself stood up to criticise her for being unfilial.
Were they trying to drown her alive with other people¡¯s saliva through this series of attacks?
She lowered her head and tapped on her phone. Currently, the media¡¯s and forums¡¯ criticisms were flooding in even more rapidly than this morning. Did they think she was that easy to bully?
As the live-broadcast caught traction, more than twenty reporters rushed over to surround them. They asked in agitated voices. ¡°Miss Fang, could we have an interview with you?¡±
Earlier, the bodyguard had noticed something amiss when he was standing guard. He had already informed the CEO and arranged for more hands to be present.
In a blink of an eye, more than twenty bodyguards armed with guns stood in front of Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao. They prevented the reporters from approaching them.
When the reporters saw this, they naturally did not dare to rush forward.
One of the reporters addressed Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, could I ask you two questions? It won¡¯t take very long?¡±
He originally thought he would be refused. To his surprise, Bai Qinghao responded expressionlessly. ¡°Please speak.¡±
He stood with Fang Xinxin on the steps. A row of bodyguards kept the reporters beneath the steps. Just from their positions alone, Bai Qinghao was already speaking down to him.
Combined with his dominating, powerful aura, the originally chaotic situation instantly turned quiet with Bai Qinghao¡¯s response.
¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m sure you saw the news earlier. Your fianc¨¦e seems... to have a rather questionable character. She isn¡¯t even filial to her own mother. Don¡¯t you have any thoughts about this?¡±
Bai Qinghao gave Fang Xinxin a heavy look. When he turned back to face the cameras, his voice was unfazed.
Chapter 363: Trust Her (Part 2)
Chapter 363: Trust Her (Part 2)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°No matter what my fianc¨¦e does, she always has her own reasons. As her fianc¨¦, it is my principle to always believe in her. Earlier, your use of the word ¡®seems¡¯ was very suitable. Not everything is as it appears. Director Fang Ln has a youthful heart that has yet to grow up. Just as they say, ¡®daughters take after their mothers¡¯. Fang Manxue pretended to be my fianc¨¦e and fooled everyone thoroughly. Fang Ln may have thought that it wasn¡¯t enough fun, and wanted to add more fuel to the fire.¡±
The man¡¯s voice was cold and heavy. It clearly established him as the person with great power. Just the sound of his voice alone was sufficient to make them respect him.
The reporter got really excited and asked him respectfully. ¡°Could you give us more details please?¡±
CEO Bai¡¯s words indicated that there was more to this matter than met the eye. He was about to obtain exciting news!
¡°You will have to direct this question to my fianc¨¦e.¡± Bai Qinghao previously promised Fang Xinxin that he would not interfere with this matter. Thus, he did not directly expose Fang Ln and her fake ident.
¡°I don¡¯t wish to speak without evidence. Let¡¯s wait for the truth.¡± Fang Xinxin responded. ¡°Coincidentally, my mother¡¯s hospital is quite close by. It¡¯s on the left of the street ahead. If you don¡¯t find it troublesome, you can all make a visit with me.¡±
¡°Eh, why weren¡¯t there these3 many reporters when I visited earlier?¡± Shi Qian walked out of the restaurant with his medicine box in hand.
¡°Isn¡¯t this Doctor Shi? He is CEO Bai¡¯s private doctor. He works as a consultant in many affluent hospitals...¡± The reporters immediately recognised him.
In front of the media, Shi Qian immediately put on a perfect smile. ¡°It¡¯s me, it¡¯s me. Hi! Good evening, handsome men and beautiful girls!¡±
¡°Doctor Shi, may I know if you¡¯re here because... someone is injured?¡± A female reporter questioned. She shifted her confused gaze onto Bai Qinghao. ¡°Could it be, CEO Bai...¡±
¡°Beautifuldy, we¡¯re all people with good character. You can¡¯t carelessly make up news headlines like that.¡± Shi Qian gave her a perfect, charming smile.
¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± He pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°CEO Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Miss Fang Xinxin, was eating fruits during dinner when she identally cut her hand with a fruit knife. I cameby to check on her.¡±
He had already asked the bodyguard earlier about Fang Xinxin¡¯s injury.
He did not expect her to grab the knife for the CEO. It turned out that she had some... brainless courage.
This news could be sold for some good money. Unfortunately, he feared that the CEO would cripple him. Thus, he gave up the thought of exposing it.
Fang Xinxin cooperatively lifted her right hand. Although there was some medicine on her injury, the wound was not bandaged.
The weather had been warmer these days. To prevent the wound from bing infected, it was better to leave it as it is.
¡°Oh! So that¡¯s the case.¡± The reporter nodded. ¡°CEO Bai sure dotes on his fianc¨¦e. He even brought a doctor over for a small cut.¡±
¡°It¡¯s only right to be attentive when working for CEO Bai.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s smile was radiant.
The group of reporters did not continue pursuing this matter. After all, Fang Xinxin¡¯s family problems were the main topic of their uing news.
¡°Doctor Shi, I¡¯m about to head to the hospital.¡± Fang Xinxin invited him. ¡°Could I trouble you toe along and give my mother an examination?¡±
Shi Qian really wanted to refuse. However, he saw that a lot of cameras were focused on him. For the sake of his reputation as a God in the medical world, he could only nod. ¡°Of course.¡±
A group of people headed for the nearby hospital on foot.
In a single room ward on the hospital¡¯s second floor, a crowd of reporters had gathered.
Fang Ln was, currently, weakly responding to the interview questions. Shemented about Fang Xinxin. ¡°You say, are there any daughters like her? She won¡¯t evene to visit me after my ident. I really brought her up for nothing. My heart really hurts!¡±
Chapter 364: Can Filial Piety Be Measured By Money
Chapter 364: Can Filial Piety Be Measured By Money
¡°Mom, I¡¯m here!¡± Fang Xinxin suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Fang Ln was very surprised by her appearance. Herplexion was especially pale due to the amount of powder she had applied. She immediately put on aforted expression. ¡°Xinxin, ah. You¡¯ve finallye to visit Mom.¡±
Her tears rolled down her cheeks. ¡°Please don¡¯t me me for using the media to force you to visit. Mom really just... misses you too much.¡±
There were several cameras in the hospital ward which were broadcasting everything that was happening live on all of the major television channels. God only knew how many times it would be further reposted on various socialwork sites.
No matter what, she had to convince all theizens that Fang Xinxin was unfilial; that she hade visiting because of the pressure from the media.
The moment Fang Xinxin appeared, all the cameras turned to focus on her. ¡°Miss Fang, may I ask, why didn¡¯t youe to see your mother immediately when she met with a car ident?¡±
¡°Are you here now due to the pressure from the public?¡±
¡°This matter has gotten a lot of attention. Most of theizens feel that you are unfilial. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a littlete to be visiting now?¡±
The polite, yet sharp questions left Fang Xinxin silent.
Fang Ln watched her remain speechless from where sheid on the bed. She felt extremely pleased.
A hint of ruthless pleasure appeared in her eyes.
This was exactly what she wanted, to ruin the reputation of Fang Xinxin, this whore and to utterly destroy her. Soon, the entire world would be scolding her!
Fang Xinxin was only silent for a few seconds before responding with a question. ¡°Can filial piety be measured by money?¡±
¡°...¡±
No one expected her to ask such a question. Several reporters were taken aback.
At the same time, the audience watching the live-stream on their phones started leaving angeredments:
[Fang Xinxin really doesn¡¯t know what shame is. How can filial piety be measured by money?]
[Actually, I think it can be. After all, in recent years, giving money to our parents is a way to express love.]
[Although that is true, sincerity is the most important. From what I see, Fang Xinxin is relying on her status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e to discard her familial rtionships! She is truly a ck-hearted woman!]
...
In the hospital room, Fang Ln suddenlyughed miserably. ¡°Xinxin, Mom knows that ever since you were lifted up by the Bai family, you¡¯ve becent. But how can filial piety be measured with money? Besides... You¡¯re only a Year 2 University student. You haven¡¯t earned even a single cent. How have you been filial to me through money!¡±
Although she sounded like she was nagging, her words were cearly announcing her pitiful status and backing Fang Xinxin into a corner.
¡°Mom, go on.¡± A hint of hurt shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s indifferent gaze.
Her tone was also gloomy. ¡°Let me hear exactly how many mistakes I¡¯ve made in your eyes.¡±
¡°Since you im that money can rece filial piety, let me ask you. The Fang Corporation is currently facing financial problems. Have you asked the Bai family for any help?¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was that of heartbreak. ¡°You haven¡¯t. You won¡¯t contribute through money or effort. Even as Iy here, I have to rely on the media to force you to appear... You¡¯re not even suited to be a human!¡±
When the reporters heard this, their gazes were filled with disdain as they looked at Fang Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao stood in the hallway. His expression was extremely dark and his figure was stiff.
Fang Ln, this whore! She was really asking for a beating!
Fang Xinxin smiled bitterly. ¡°It turns out that, to my mother, I¡¯m not even suited to be a person.¡±
A reporter asked her firmly. ¡°Miss Fang, as a... person working in the media, I don¡¯t know how to judge your actions. I only wish to ask one question. Do you regret your actions?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression clearly conveyed her pain. ¡°No. I¡¯ve never regretted anything.¡±
Chapter 365: Family’s Humiliation
Chapter 365: Family¡¯s Humiliation
[Fuck! Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t even suited to be a human. To think that she doesn¡¯t regret anything. She really is shameless. No one canpete with her in this aspect.]
[Isn¡¯t it? She still has the face to appear in front of her mother? We should throw her into a furnace for her to reincarnate into a better human being!]
Wave after wave ofments came in. They were much more ¡®interesting¡¯ than the reporters¡¯ questions.
All the reporters present in the hospital room fell silent. This person¡¯s character wascking to the point where she did not even know how to reflect on herself. They really did not know how to describe her...
In the three bedroom ward next door, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue were watching the live broadcast from their respective beds. However, they kept the volume down to prevent attracting any attention.
Fang Manxue watched as Fang Xinxin was left speechless from all the questions. She was cutting an especially sorry figure. This caused Fang Manxue to feel great.
In the hallway, Shi Qian stood behind Bai Qinghao and watched as the events unfolded. He truly felt upset on his CEO¡¯s behalf.
Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t just ugly. Her character was also especiallycking.
She truly was a poor match for their outstanding and powerful CEO!
Bai Qinghao, alone, was watching Fang Xinxin with eyes full of heartache.
The Fang family treated her too poorly. He could only make it up by treating her many times better.
At this moment, in Fang Ln¡¯s one bedroom ward, Fang Xinxin suddenly teared up. ¡°To me, filial piety cannot be measured by money. Yet, my rtives have relentlessly taken advantage of my loyalty to redeem it for a price tag.¡±
When Fang Ln heard this, she smirked mockingly. ¡°Xinxin, Mom knows that you¡¯re unfilial. You don¡¯t have to make up excuses for yourself. You¡¯re a student who has never earned a single cent. Who would take advantage of your loyalty for money?¡±
¡°Earlier, didn¡¯t you say that the Fang Group is in a financial crisis, and that I¡¯ve never asked the Bai family for help?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly.
Fang Ln assumed that she could no longer endure the pressure and was about to publicly ask Bai Qinghao for help.
However, Fang Xinxin only said this indifferently, ¡°Just as everyone knows, I have a fianc¨¦ who dotes on me dearly. Because of me, for the past few years, Bai Qinghao has financially supported the Fang Group and given them more than a billion dors!¡±
¡°What?¡± Everyone watching the live broadcast was dumbstruck. Thements were filled with their exmations.
This included all the reporters and others.
Fang Ln felt a sense of foreboding rise. She rushed to stop her. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t speak nonsense...¡±
¡°I¡¯m speaking nonsense?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly and continued. ¡°All the financial support that the Sheng Shi Group gave to the Fang family has been recorded by their finance department. There is written proof. Everything I¡¯ve said is the truth. The mother I love dearly has been taking advantage of my engagement with Bai Qinghao to obtain benefits from the Sheng Shi Group for a long time. Just because of me, Bai Qinghao has been giving into her demands repeatedly. He has supported her time and again. The smallest sum he gave her was five million dors. The bigger sums went up to tens of millions. In total, she has received 1,547,700,000 dors from him.¡±
She paused for a second. ¡°Bai Qinghao did all this to ensure that I¡¯ll lead a better life in the Fang home. Yet, over the past few years, the Fang Group has not used a single cent of the money which they received, on me. They even forced me to stay in a storeroom on the first floor of the Fang home. They couldn¡¯t bear to spend any money on food for me. Everyday, all I had was deep fried junk food that caused my weight to shoot up. They¡¯ve also never given me a single cent of pocket money. My mother, my second uncle and my second sister even spread rumours that I¡¯ve been living a life of luxury. My heart has long turned bitter from this treatment, yet because I valued our rtionship, I¡¯ve never once said anything negative about them.¡±

Chapter 366: Xinxin¡¯s Tears
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°My silence didn¡¯tst for a day. It hassted for seven years. Over the past seven years, I¡¯ve silently tolerated and epted all the mistreatment from my mother. I allowed her to suck on my fianc¨¦¡¯s family¡¯s blood like a vampire!¡±
The hospital room was filled with a pin-drop silence. Everyone was dumbstruck by Fang Xinxin¡¯s words.
Fang Ln leaned back against the bed with a paleplexion.
She did not expect Fang Xinxin to bring this matter up. To think she was humiliating their family without pausing to worry about her own face!
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tears continued rolling down her cheeks. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a student. But isn¡¯t silent eptance of my mother¡¯s actions a form of filial piety? This is truly a joke. My mother took over a billion dors from the Bai family, yet she lied to me, iming to only have taken a few million dors. When the truth came out, she even criticized me for asking for too little from the Bai family. Although my fianc¨¦ is wealthy, that is his money. The Fang Group is really too thick-skinned and shameless. To what extent will they go before they are satisfied?¡±
Her tearful expression was far too miserable.
It expressed her deep sadness and despair. It definitely was not a performance.
Everyone watching the live-stream was quiet.
Fang Xinxin was truly crying. She was crying over her own past foolishness.
She also cried in gratitude. She was thankful that she now had the opportunity to change her tragedy from her past life and to cherish the people who deserved her love.
Bai Qinghao stood outside the door. As he watched Fang Xinxin cry, his heartache intensified.
He swore that in this life, he would offer everything he had, including his own life, to properly love and pamper Fang Xinxin!
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone conveyed her despair to the maximum. ¡°My mother always only has cruel criticism when ites to me. She even wishes for Bai Qinghao to end his engagement with me so that my second sister can take my ce.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was flustered. ¡°Xinxin, enough of that. That¡¯s not true...¡±
¡°If it¡¯s not true, why did you allow Second Sister to pretend to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦? If it isn¡¯t the truth, why did you stand in front of Bai Qinghao and ask for him to cancel his engagement with me?¡±
After being publicly questioned by Fang Xinxin, Fang Ln immediately wanted to insist it wasn¡¯t true. However, she saw that Bai Qinghao was standing in the hallway.
It was true that she once requested Bai Qinghao to end his engagement with Fang Xinxin.
She was afraid that he would corroborate Fang Xinxin¡¯s testimony right now. Given his status, everyone would surely believe in him.
Hence Fang Ln pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
Fang Xinxin smiled with a hint of self-mocking. ¡°No matter what I do, no matter how much hatred and grievance I endure, I will never be able to obtain my mother¡¯s love or even an expression of concern. To her, I¡¯m not even worth the treatment a human deserves! If you were in my shoes, how would you feel?¡±
She paused and wiped her tears with her uninjured hand. Her gaze then turned firm and she loudly announced. ¡°The people watching will never be able to understand the actual truth. I¡¯ve reached the end of my despair and I¡¯ve long grown numb. I no longer wish to conceal anything on my mother¡¯s behalf.¡±
As she said this, she tapped on her phone and lifted her screen to one of the cameras. On the screen, a message content was being disyed:
[Mom, quickly give Fang Xinxin a call. Tell her that you met with an ident and ask her to quickly bring Bai Qinghao to the hospital to visit you!]
After showing them the message, she continued. ¡°This is the message my second sister sent to my mother right before ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯. Fang Manxue had wanted to prevent her status as a fake fianc¨¦ from being exposed, no matter what. That¡¯s why, my ¡®great¡¯ mother came up with a fake ident to fool Bai Qinghao and me into leaving the event.¡±

Chapter 367: They Were Fooled
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was extremely poor now that her schemes were exposed. ¡°What do you mean by a fake ident...¡±
Furthermore, how did Fang Xinxin obtain a copy of the message that Fang Manxue had sent her?
After ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯, Fang Xinxin easily guessed that Fang Ln would take revenge on Fang Manxue¡¯s behalf. Thus, she instructed Chi Minzhe to send someone to secretly make a copy of the messages on Fang Manxue¡¯s phone.
She had the ability to make herself invisible. Thus, she naturally knew Fang Manxue¡¯s phone passcode a long time ago.
After being beaten up, Fang Manxue was unconscious for an extended period of time. Thus, Chi Minzhe¡¯s people had no trouble obtaining the messages in her phone.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the hospital ward. ¡°Director Fang, you instructed me to lie that I injured you with my car and paid me forty thousand dors as a reward. At the time, I did not expect you to use this matter to nder your own filial daughter. My deepest apologies. I¡¯m returning this money to you.¡±
He then handed over two stacks of cash. When he saw that Fang Ln did not move to receive it, he ced it on her bedside table.
¡°Excuse me, sir. Could you please rify this situation...¡± The reporters immediately urged him.
¡°I¡¯m an employee from the Fang Group. Recently, my family has been struggling with money. My employer, Madam Fang Ln, coincidentally requested my help. In a moment of foolishness, I agreed to stage a fake ident with her in exchange for forty thousand dors.¡± The middle-aged man did not hold back as he epted their question.
¡°I didn¡¯t give anyone forty thousand dors! Fang Xinxin is the one who arranged for him to say so!¡± Fang Ln refused to admit it.
Fang Xinxin was not interested in arguing with her. She turned to address Doctor Shi Qian, who was standing outside in the hallways. ¡°Doctor Shi, could I trouble you to take a look at my mother¡¯s injuries?¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Shi Qian stepped into the hospital ward and was about to carry out an examination for Fang Ln.
But Fang Ln immediately began struggling. ¡°Go away, go away! I don¡¯t want your examination!¡±
¡°Mom, Doctor Shi¡¯s skills are the best in our country. Most people don¡¯t even have the opportunity for him to examine them,¡± Fang Xinxin coaxed her.
¡°Who knows if you¡¯re coborating with him to...¡± Before Fang Ln could finish speaking, Shi Qian cut her off. ¡°Please be rest assured, Director Fang. I, Shi Qian, will definitely be honest about your health. Furthermore, all the cameras are recording us. I won¡¯t ruin my own reputation.¡±
The cameras were not from a particrly big television channel. However, Fang Xinxin¡¯s topic had caught a lot of attention. Countless media websites were live-streaming the news.
¡°That¡¯s right, Director Fang. Why don¡¯t you just let Doctor Shi give you an examination...¡± A reporter also urged her.
I said I don¡¯t want to!¡± Fang Ln was agitated.
Another reporter immediately noticed something amiss. ¡°Madam Fang Ln, didn¡¯t you say that your arm was fractured during the ident, and that you¡¯re unable to move? Why do you appear to be struggling so well?¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Ln immediately became quiet. Her expression was awkward.
Fang Xinxin approached her bedside and brought a small pair of scissors, seemingly out of thin air. With three snips, she easily cut open the white bandages around Fang Ln¡¯s body. The bandages loosened to reveal the green stains from the medicine applied.
After wiping off the stains, everyone saw that Fang Ln waspletely unharmed!
¡°...¡± All the reporters and hosts were dumbstruck.
Even the audience watching this from their homes were astonished.
Shi Qian stepped forward and forcefully examined Fang Ln¡¯s body. He then drew a firm conclusion. ¡°Madam Fang Ln ispletely unharmed. In other words, she did not suffer any injury in a car ident. Everyone has been fooled by her!¡±
Chapter 368: A Silhouette That Appears Heartbroken
Chapter 368: A Silhouette That Appears Heartbroken
The director of the hospital stepped into the ward at the time. He expressed apologetically. ¡°Madam Fang Ln fooled our doctors with a fake medical history. When she was admitted into our hospital, she insisted that she was already receiving treatment elsewhere and only wished to stay here for further observation. Thus, we did not examine her in our hospital. Based on our investigations, the doctor who first admitted her had privately received money from her. He did not inform the appropriate higher-ups when he noticed something to be amiss. He has already been dismissed by our hospital.¡±
The online discussion instantly blew up:
[Fang Ln, this old woman. She actually faked a car ident for a pity act. She¡¯s too shameless!]
[She applied such a thickyer of medicine all over herself and wrapped the bandages so tightly. She really faked it well. Even dogs aren¡¯t as shameless as she is.]
[Fang Xinxin tolerated seven years of foolish piety. She is more than filial! This old woman doesn¡¯t know how to be content. How disgusting! Make her cough up all of the money she took from the Bai family!]
Fang Xinxin easily guessed that many amongst the audience would demand for the Fang family to pay the Bai family back.
Thus, she directly spoke to the cameras. ¡°I¡¯m a filial person. At the very least, for the sake of my mother, I was willing to tolerate the way she took benefits from my fianc¨¦. However, the human heart is made of flesh and blood. My fianc¨¦ treats me extremely well, yet my mother... I truly could not allow her to continue sucking the Bai family¡¯s blood. Thus, I insisted that the Fang family return all the owed money to the Bai family. Of course, my mother only did so out of helplessness. She was threatened to do so or face charges of fraud. Still, the Fang family has not paid the Bai family a single cent in interest. They took advantage of them for years. Not only so, every year, the Bai family were extremely generous when it came to celebration gifts for the festivities. Till now, the Bai family has not demanded them to return any of it. At this moment, all I wish to say is that bing Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e was the greatest blessing in my life. I will not allow myself to be a leech who is dependent on him, nor will I allow my family to do so. If my mother really met with a car ident some day...¡±
This type of cheap person, let her die as she pleases.
Although Fang Xinxin felt this way, what she actually said was, ¡°I would be deeply heartbroken and I certainly wouldn¡¯t bear to leave her alone. But the so-called car ident did not happen. All of this was self-directed by my mother. She badly wishes for me to demand for more benefits on the Fang Group¡¯s behalf. After my second sister¡¯s performance as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e was exposed, she has alsoe to hate me deeply. This family has already left me battered with enough wounds inflicted. The reason I¡¯ve never appeared here is because I truly did not have the energy to cooperate with my mother and participate in her ¡®game¡¯ of a fake car ident. All I can feel is despair when I think of my mother. I hope that the media can stop disturbing me over this matter. I only wish to be a quiet, university student. I wish to work hard on my studies and be a better person!¡±
No matter whether it was her figure or appearance, she wanted to be better day by day.
She had ns to set her career on an ascending trajectory!
In front of the cameras, Fang Xinxin bowed deeply before turning around gracefully. She then left the hospital room.
Her silhouette appeared especially heartbreaking. This caused most of the audience to be moved.
[Her backview is a silent killer. I didn¡¯t expect Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure to be this good after losing weight...]
[If my mother made use of my name tomit fraud for such arge sum of money, and even came up with a car ident to ruin my reputation, I would definitely fucking kill her!]
[Fang Xinxin is so pitiful. I had assumed that as a daughter from a rich family, she would be deeply doted on. I didn¡¯t expect that her fianc¨¦ is the only one who treats her well...]
All the cameras shifted back onto Fang Ln. The reporters questioned her. ¡°Fang Ln, are your actions appropriate for a mother? Why do you hate Fang Xinxin so much?¡±
¡°Fang Ln, as the director of Fang Group, you actually came up with a fake car ident to fool the masses. May I know if you feel your conscience hurting?¡±
¡°Madam Fang, do you feel that you have any morals?¡±
Fang Ln¡¯splexion nearly turned green. She tugged the sheets over her face. ¡°Please leave, I won¡¯t ept any interviews!¡±
¡°But, you were the one who called us here!¡± One of the reporters reached out and pulled the sheets aside.
Fang Ln had nowhere to hide in front of the cameras. She immediately rushed off of her bed without even putting on a pair of shoes. Herplexion was pale as she shoved the reporters aside and ran out of the room. The speed at which she escaped was a serious contrast to the weak demeanor she put on earlier.
The audience watching in front of their televisions andputers were astonished.
This old woman was basically an actress. Her skills were even more outstanding than Fang Manxue, that shameless whore.
There were no longer anyments criticising Fang Xinxin for being unfilial. Instead, they felt that it was a blessing that she finally gave up being foolishly filial. Much of the online discussion was focused on insulting Fang Ln.
Bai Qinghao stood in the hallway. From the beginning, his gaze was focused only on Fang Xinxin.

Her attitude was open and her charisma was outstanding. Her graceful stancebined with a hint of heartbreak was unbelievably dazzling.
She said that bing his fianc¨¦e was one of the greatest blessings in her life.
No matter whether she was speaking the truth, with those words alone, he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved. He realised that his feelings towards Fang Xinxin were only growing stronger and deeper by the day...
The moment she stepped out of the cameras¡¯ view, he immediately stretched his arm out and held her shoulders protectively. He then took her to leave from there.
In the hospital ward next door, Fang Manxueid back on the bed. She had been waiting for Fang Xinxin to be ruined, but did not expect herself and her mother¡¯s reputation to worsen.
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression was heavy. He gritted his teeth in hatred. ¡°Fang Xinxin, this whore. She really is an annoying cockroach who refuses to die!¡±
Fang Manxue red at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you and Mom say that you would obtain justice for me? Is this what you meant by giving me justice!¡±
Long Shuhai watched her with some heartache. ¡°Xiao Xue...¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes reddened in anger. Her gaze expressed her extreme hatred. ¡°I won¡¯t let Fang Xinxin off! I won¡¯t!¡±
...
In an apartment in the Hong Sheng District, Fang Shaohua sat before the television. His gaze was fixed on Fang Xinxin¡¯s crying figure.
His heart was aching for the suffering she had endured during all this time.
He hated himself for his powerlessness in the past three years. He had allowed her to suffer so much.
Now that he had thebel of a criminal over his head, what more could he give her?
Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart was deeply tortured by the pain.
When the live-stream ended, he dearly wished to embrace Fang Xinxin¡¯s beautiful, heartbroken figure.
He really wished tofort her and to say that ¡®with Brother here, there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of, Xinxin!¡¯
But with the asional movements of the cameras, he noticed that Bai Qinghao was also present there.
As of now, Xinxin probably did not need him...
Fang Shaohua picked up his phone several times to dial Fang Xinxin¡¯s number.
However, each time he dialled, he ended it before it would connect.
He stepped onto the balcony and took in the view of the bustling city at night. The neon lights made for a dazzling sight.
He could only remain in the apartment she had arranged for him.
He could only quietly wait for her and quietly miss her...
At the same time, Chi Minzhe carried out his orders and took the footage from the pinhole camera he had previously arranged in Fang Ln¡¯s hospital ward. He edited out all the clips that were beneficial to Fang Xinxin and released them to the world.
The first was footage of Fang Ln bribing Nurse Yang Fen.
The second was when Fang Ln and Long Shuhai talked about carrying out revenge on Fang Manxue¡¯s behalf.
In an instant, Fang Ln, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue became the public¡¯s enemy.
Their schemes had failed and they were criticised for being vicious leeches. Everyone was after them.
...
Half an hourter, in the Yu Ting V.
Bai Qinghao sat down on the living room¡¯s couch and brought Fang Xinxin into his arms. His cold, heavy tone carried his heartache. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
¡°En?¡± She quietlyid in his broad and firm arms.
The sensation was warm and her heart was content.
Her obedience caused his heart to hurt further. ¡°No matter what happens, I will always be by your side.¡±
His heart was still aching for the tears she had shed earlier.
¡°En.¡± She nodded and shifted toy down on hisp.
She then watched him and responded. ¡°In the same way, no matter what happens to you, will you let me remain by your side as well?¡±
He did not agree. ¡°No matter if it¡¯s me or the Bai family, we will at times have to take certain risks. I can¡¯t allow you to be involved in it.¡±
Chapter 370: Qinghao Is Hiding Something?
Chapter 370: Qinghao Is Hiding Something?
She pouted. ¡°I meant in your private life. If you have any troubles, let me remain by your side.¡±
A hint of pain appeared in his eyes. He also wished to have her by his side forever. However...
She took in his stony expression and frowned. She sat up and shifted onto hisp. ¡°Do you agree or not?¡±
¡°Xinxin...¡±
¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. Will you agree or not?¡± Her fair little hand caressed his face.
His eyes were deeply moved but he remained silent. ¡°...¡±
Fang Xinxin sized him up suspiciously. ¡°Are you hiding something from me?¡±
Bai Qinghao appeared helpless as he began heavily. ¡°There are countless people after my life. If one day, I die...¡±
¡°I¡¯ll die with you,¡± she responded without pausing to hesitate.
His body jerked heavily in response. Emotions washed over him deeply. His frozen heart waspletely rendered weak.
His eyes turned wet for a moment before he forcefully regained hisposure. He coldy and heavilymanded. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I won¡¯t allow you to do that! If I really do die, you have to remain alive!¡±
¡°I refuse!¡± She stubbornly shook her head.
¡°Be obedient!¡± He demanded.
¡°No.¡±
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. ¡°If you won¡¯t listen...¡±
¡°What about it?¡± She asked with a smile. ¡°Will you end your engagement with me?¡±
When he heard this, his heart immediately began aching.
No matter if he was dead or alive, he refused to tolerate the thought of losing her. ¡°No!¡±
She sighed and pressed her little face against his firm chest. ¡°If you want me to live well, you have to remain healthy and happy for me.¡±
He held her tightly in his arms and pressed his head against her neck. He spoke in a slightly thickened voice. ¡°Alright!¡±
For her, he would definitely remain alive and well.
...
...
The next morning, Fang Xinxin woke up in a warm and firm embrace.
She closed her eyes and felt Bai Qinghao¡¯s soft, warm breaths. The sense of security she felt moved her deeply.
She slowly opened her eyes to see Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold, handsome appearance.
His brows were defined and his nose was sharp. Every inch of his skin was perfect.
He was watching her with his ink-ck pupils. The love in his gaze could not be concealed.
He had taken the opportunity while she was asleep to check on her wound and saw that it had appeared better. This allowed him to rx a little.
Fang Xinxin turned over and rested her chin on her uninjured left hand. She returned his gazezily. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
He gently caressed her long hair. His voice was husky from his desire and responded. ¡°You.¡±
¡°What¡¯s there for you to look at?¡± She casually touched the scabs on her face. ¡°My face is so ugly. Don¡¯t you find it an eyesore?¡±
¡°You¡¯re beautiful.¡± He did not hesitate to respond.
She pursed her lips. ¡°You¡¯re lying.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t ever praise anyone. Especially not women.¡± He lovingly touched her face. ¡°To me, you¡¯re really beautiful.¡±

¡°But my face is covered in scabs...¡± She wore a very confused look.
He cut her off firmly. ¡°The scabs on your face are mine. Everything you have, every inch of your skin belongs to me! It¡¯s mine. What¡¯s wrong with finding what I own beautiful?¡±
She was stunned by his question for a moment before sheughed out uncontrobly. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have such strange tastes!¡±
He was not angered by her coquettish words. Instead, he felt a soft tickling sensation against his heart. He felt a strong urge to take her right there and then and held her waist to push her underneath him.
He pressed his tall, broad figure on top of her soft body. ¡°Say that again and I¡¯ll show you the consequences!¡±
She responded by wrapping her arms around his neck and pressed her lips onto his.
Bai Winghao immediately responded by kissing her demandingly and frantically. He intertwined his tongue with hers as though it had been days since he had a single drop of water...
Finally, as he was about to lose control, he suppressed his longing and stood up quickly to change his clothes. After that, he rushed out of the bedroom.
Fang Xinxinid back on the extravagantlyrge bed and watched as he walked away hurriedly. She immediately guessed that he was leaving to get some cold air to reduce his burning insides.
She followed him to wash up and changed into a set of workout clothes. She then stood on the weighing scale and realised that she now weighed fifty one kilograms.
For her height of 1.67 meters, she was already on the thinner side.
She nned to keep it up. Once her weight dropped below fifty kilograms, her figure would be perfect.
Fang Xinxin stepped into the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard for a morning workout and was surprised to see Shi Qian yawning. He held a medicine box as he headed for his car parked nearby.
¡°Doctor Shi, why are you here so early in the morning?¡± Fang Xinxin asked in confusion.
¡°Do you think I wish to be here?¡± Shi Qian rolled his eyes at her. He then narrowed his eyes and sized her up. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what exactly are you up to?¡±
She was dumbstruck. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean?¡±
Shi Qian responded seriously. ¡°I don¡¯t know what charms you possess... Well, your figure isn¡¯t bad I suppose. The CEO is always deeply interested in you.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin waspletely astonished. She did not know that Bai Qinghao was currently relying on tranquilizers!
Shi Qian took in her reaction. ¡°You don¡¯t know about this?¡±
She shook her head. If she had known this, she would rather...
She felt her blood heating up.
¡°In the future, don¡¯t give Bai Qinghao any more injections,¡± she instructed coldly.
...
Inside the study room, Butler Zhao was reporting to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Young Master, a while ago, Miss Fang and Fang Ln personally visited an organisation for a DNA test. I have already obtained the results.¡±
¡°How is it?¡±
Chapter 372: Results
Chapter 372: Results
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Based on the results, Madam Fang Ln is Fang Xinxin¡¯s birth mother.¡± Zhao Cheng felt upset on his young master¡¯s behalf.
Having such a mother-inw was a great misfortune.
Bai Qinghao furrowed his ink ck brows. ¡°Could it have been tampered with?¡±
¡°This subordinate has already confirmed the results to be true. The involved personnel did not interfere with the process.¡±
Fang Xinxin stood right outside the study room and coincidentally heard their conversation.
This result was within her expectations and could have been predicted.
Fang Ln had taken the initiative to perform this DNA test with her. In other words, Fang Ln must have seen thising too, didn¡¯t she?
Could Fang Ln really be her birth mother?
No...
Fang Xinxin felt that something was seriously amiss!
Fang Ln¡¯s actions were not only ipatible with that of a mother¡¯s. They were also beyond what one would expect a mother to do.
She approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side with a helpless and disappointed expression. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m really sorry.¡±
He lifted his brows and tugged her over. He nudged her into sitting on herp. ¡°Why are you apologising all of a sudden?¡± He felt her weight and realised... she had be even lighter.
¡°I brought trouble to you by having such a mother.¡± At this moment, it seemed like they had no way of refuting the results.
He tapped on the tip of her nose and reprimanded her. ¡°Your business is my business. You don¡¯t ever have to apologise to me!¡±
She was moved as she nodded. ¡°Are the DNA results always urate?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Bai Qinghao confirmed. ¡°But there is always the smallest probability of error.¡±
She buried her head into his arms and gloomily responded. ¡°Although the evidence is irrefutable, I still feel that Fang Ln isn¡¯t my mother...¡±
Bai Qinghao deliberated over this. ¡°At times, our instincts are very urate. It may be even more precise than scientific methods. Let¡¯s do another round of DNA testing.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± She simrly found it hard to give up.
He gently patted on her back. ¡°Visit Jia Ya Hospital the next time you do it.¡±
She nodded.
Jia Ya Hospital was one of the hospitals under the Sheng Shi Group.
Their technology was the best. The results would therefore be more reliable.
She seemed to have thought of something as she suddenly left his arms. ¡°Next time, don¡¯t hug me when it¡¯s inconvenient for me.¡±
He frowned unhappily. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°Why did you receive tranquilizer shots behind my back!¡± She reprimanded in anger.
His expression turned heavy. ¡°Shi Qian told you?¡±
¡°I met him coincidentally and asked him about it. Don¡¯t me him for it. Exin to me instead.¡± It was difficult to conceal the anger on her face. ¡°Do you know that if you keep doing this you... you won¡¯t be able to do it anymore.¡±
His expression darkened. ¡°Why won¡¯t I be able to do it anymore!¡±
He understood his own body best. Even in the entire country, there were barely any men who were physically stronger than him.
He narrowed his sharp eyes and sized her up with an invasive, unrestrained gaze.
Back when she had been overweight, her figure had been adorably plump. Now that she had lost weight, her figure was slender and graceful. Her thin arms and long legs really stirred his appetite up. He feared he would eat her up alive!
Fang Xinxin watched as his cold gaze turned heated. She swallowed her saliva with some fear.
He had just taken a shot of tranquilizer. She did not wish to provoke him right now.
Bai Qinghao forcefully averted his gaze from her body. He wrapped his arm around her waist and trapped her in his arms. He then lifted her chin and leaned down to kiss her.
Chapter 373: Remember Your Promise
Chapter 373: Remember Your Promise
It was really wonderful to hold her.
He was too easily stirred up and only dared to have a small taste before restraining himself.
He did not wish for the tranquilizer shot to lose its effects.
¡°I have an important meeting today, so, I won¡¯t be able to stay with you,¡± His low, heavy tone was apologetic.
He had originally nned to rest at home with her on the weekend.
¡°It¡¯s alright. Go ahead.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Work is more important.¡±
He nodded slightly and leaned in to speak into her ear. ¡°Remember your promise.¡±
¡°What promise?¡± Her sparkling eyes were innocent.
She seemed to have made several promises to him.
For example, previously, in front of the television, she stated that bing his fianc¨¦e was one of the greatest blessings in her life...
¡°You promised to properlypensate me!¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She nodded obediently.
Since he had punished Liu Li, there was no reason for her to go back on her words.
A hint of satisfaction finally appeared in Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold, dark gaze.
After he left, Fang Xinxin also headed out of the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard.
Butler Zhao approached her and asked her. ¡°Miss Fang, are you heading out?¡±
¡°En.¡±
¡°The young master has instructed this subordinate to arrange a chauffeur for you no matter where you go.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll just walk.¡±
¡°But...¡±
She responded. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to be difficult. I¡¯m just trying to lose weight.¡± The first rule of losing weight was to control one¡¯s lips well and to move one¡¯s feet more often.
¡°Alright then.¡± Butler Zhao could not change her mind and did not insist on it.
Her determination to lose weight and consume less indeed had produced extraordinary effects. ¡°Miss Fang, what size of clothes would suit you now? It¡¯s time to repurchase your wardrobe.¡±
¡°M, I think.¡± She deliberated for a moment before continuing. ¡°Go ahead and buy clothes in S or SS. My weight is currently 50 kilograms. I¡¯ll continue losing weight for sometime.¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t do that.¡± Zhao Cheng shook his head with a stony expression. ¡°The young master has instructed this one to only purchase clothes in your current size. If you wish to n ahead, you¡¯ll have to first ask Young Master for his agreement.¡±
As if Bai Qinghao would agree to it. It wasn¡¯t as if she had never brought this up before.
At the time, he had responded that... he preferred for his woman to wear clothes that were suited for her figure.
She really wanted to save up for him, but he was unwilling. ¡°Forget it! Go with M size then. Remember not to spend too much.¡±
After instructing him, she turned and left.
Zhao Cheng watched her backview and thought to himself that she wasn¡¯tpletely useless. Other women were attracted to his young master for his status and power.
At the very least, Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t a materialistic person. Although, even if she was, his young master had more than enough money tost her ten lifetimes.
Fang Xinxin first visited Jia Ya Hospital to check on her father. After instructing the nurses to take good care of her father, she deliberated over it and realised that she was still worried about Fang Shaohua. Thus, she jogged over to the Hong Sheng District.
Ding!
She stepped out of the elevator on the twentieth storey and pressed on the doorbell. No one answered the door.
After several attempts, there still wasn¡¯t any response.
Her brother was not in the hospital with their father. Considering his current status, it was rare for him to be outside.
She scanned her fingerprint and unlocked the door.
The living room was extremely messy. The coffee table was covered with empty bottles of white wine.

The rubbish bin had been knocked over as well.
It seems like it had been days since the helper had visited.
¡°Brother, are you at home?¡± Fang Xinxin raised her voice to ask.
There wasn¡¯t any response. Only the main bedroom door was tightly shut.
She guessed that he was inside.
The instant she twisted the doorknob and opened the door, a thick scent of alcohol assaulted her senses.
The entire room was filled with the heavy scent of alcohol.
Her elder brother, Fang Shaohua,id against the bedroom¡¯s floor. He held a bottle of white wine with an especially high alcohol content in his hand. He appeared to bepletely drunk.
¡°Xinxin...¡± He seemed to be muttering something.
Fang Xinxin leaned in and realised he was subconsciously calling her name.
Fang Shaohua¡¯splexion had turned red from drinking. Tears had formed around hisshes and this caused his fair, charmingplexion to appear especially pitiful.
The sight of his tears caused her heart to ache.
She had treated this man like her brother since they were young. She really did not wish to see him in such a sorry state. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll support you to your bed.¡±
She then knelt down and tugged one of his arms over her shoulder. She held his waist and stood up.
Sigh, don¡¯t look at her brother¡¯s thin figure.
A person¡¯s height was important. His tall figure made him especially heavy.
She exerted a lot of strength to support him onto the bed.
She helped himy down and was about to stand up when Fang Shaohua grabbed her hand. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t go!¡±
He had coincidentally tugged on her injured right hand. The wound had only just begun healing. Due to his sudden force, it began bleeding again.
He grabbed her with too much strength and caused her to fall back against the bed. The blood from her wound stained the sheets.
Fang Shaohua abruptly turned over and pressed her under him. His gaze was misty from the alcohol but the emotions were deep enough to drown someone. ¡°Xinxin, I love you! I really love you!¡±
The drunk person confessed his deepest feelings for her in his low, husky voice.
Fang Xinxin stiffened. She had already guessed this.
But he had always concealed it very well.
This was her first time that her brother openly confessed his feelings to her. She was dumbstruck to the point where she was nearly dazed.
¡°Brother, don¡¯t do this...¡± She returned to herself with some astonishment.
She hoped for him to only treat her like a sister. This was because she had no way of epting his love.
¡°Xinxin, am I dreaming?¡± He gently caressed her hair.
¡°Brother, sit up first...¡± She was pressed down under him. Even if the two of them were adopted siblings, this was extremely inappropriate.
¡°No...¡± He shook his head. ¡°Xinxin, I love you...¡±
¡°You can¡¯t do this...¡± She lifted her hands to push him away.
However, it was impossible for her topete with his strength. Furthermore, her right hand was wounded. She really could not push him off.
She watched as his lips pressed near hers. She had no way of escaping and could only cover her lips.
His kissnded on the back of her hand.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was slightly poor.
She could only treat it as they did abroad; a kiss as a form of greeting.
She really did not wish to harm her elder brother. However...
If this went on any further, things would go out of control.
She could not let Bai Qinghao down. Thus, she concentrated and activated her abilities. Her gaze turned cold as one of the bottles on the floor flew towards them and smashed against the back of Fang Shaohua¡¯s neck.

Fang Shaohua instantly lost consciousness.
Fang Xinxin pressed against Fang Shaohua and guided him toy back on the bed.
She caught her breath and sat up. As she nced at the bed, she realised...
There was actually a small, wet spot on his pants!
Moreover, the ss bottle she used earlier to knock him unconscious had been half-full. After the blow, the wine spilled all over him and soaked his clothes.
She wanted to let him be, but keeping damp clothes on for long periods would not only cause difort, he could also fall sick.
With the way her brother was drunk, she wasn¡¯t sure when he would finally wake up.
Fang Xinxin stood up and tidied her clothes. Then, she tugged on the sheets to cover Fang Shaohua¡¯s legs.
Her phone pinged at that moment. It was a message from Bai Qinghao:
[What are you up to?]
She replied within seconds: [Thinking of you.]
Bai Qinghao responded immediately with a request for a video call. She tapped on the screen to ept it.
Bai Qinghao took in her environment and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re at the Hong Sheng District, at Fang Shaohua¡¯s ce, yet you¡¯re thinking of me?¡±
Fang Xinxin was not surprised that he recognised her location immediately.
He had visited this ce once.
¡°Yeah.¡± She was innocent and did not put any effort into concealing. ¡°Can¡¯t I think of you when I¡¯m at my brother¡¯s ce?¡±
His expression was dark and he stayed silent.
That stony and icy-cold expression of his clearly conveyed his displeasure. ¡°Why are you at his ce? How long have you been there for?¡±
Her expression was open and honest. ¡°I came to visit my brother. You know that my brother is all alone. He was wronged for three years and still has thebel of a criminal on him. On most days, he doesn¡¯t have anyone visiting him. I was worried that he would be bored. It¡¯s only right that Ie by.¡±
Bai Qinghao demandinglymanded. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go there!¡±
¡°Hey, Bai Qinghao, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Fang Xinxin also became unhappy. ¡°Fang Shaohua is my brother. As his sister, why can¡¯t I visit him?¡±
Bai Qinghao assumed that she was unaware of Fang Shaohua¡¯s feelings and she continued to maintain the act of innocence.
She was worried that she would cause her brother trouble otherwise.
Bai Qinghao was silent for a moment before he responded. ¡°Wait for the next time I¡¯m avable. I¡¯ll go with you.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t do that.¡± She replied. ¡°Whenever you head abroad for work, your schedule is always erratic.¡±
His expression was cold and his frown was deep. He asked. ¡°Where¡¯s Fang Shaohua?¡±
Fang Xinxin tapped on her phone to switch to the back-facing cameras. She aimed it at Fang Shaohua for him to see. ¡°My brother is drunk and asleep. I don¡¯t understand what made him upset to the point of drinking so much. The moment I came, I saw a drunken ghost. Look, there are even wine bottles on the bed. His clothes are all wet.¡±
Bai Qingha knew that Fang Shaohua was struggling to ept that Fang Xinxin already belonged to him. Fang Shaohua was likely relying on alcohol to reduce his worries.
It had already been so many days yet he was still upset. Regardless, Fang Shaohua¡¯s love would nevere into fruition.
This was because Fang Xinxin could only belong to him!
Fang Xinxin watched as he stayed silent with a heavy expression.
She continued with a shrug. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m not sure when my brother will wake up. He¡¯ll fall sick easily if he keeps these clothes on. Can you send someone reliable to help change his clothes? He is currently on bail for medical reasons. I can¡¯t let anyone find out that he isn¡¯t actually sick.¡±
¡°You¡¯re only worried about him!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression had turnedpletely dark. Even through the phone screen, his frigid cold expression was sufficient for Fang Xinxin to shiver.
She was familiar with the ce where he was currently at. In her previous life, she had learned that this was the CEO¡¯s office in the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s building.
Chapter 376: Qinghao Is Jealous (Part 2)
Chapter 376: Qinghao Is Jealous (Part 2)
Fang Xinxin coaxed him softly. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be jealous. There¡¯s only sibling love between my brother and I. My brother treats me very well. If I didn¡¯t have any familial feelings for him, I would really becking in humanity. It¡¯s not appropriate for me to help my brother change clothes. Just... have Liu Li make a trip here.¡±
Liu Li had been here before. Although that guy¡¯s mouth was extremely dirty, he was absolutely loyal towards Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao breathed out through his nose and did not respond.
¡°CEO, there is an important document for you to review.¡±
A secretary knocked against Bai Qinghao¡¯s office door with a document.
Fang Xinxin understood he was busy and took the initiative to end the call.
She walked to the living room and took in the mess. Her right hand was injured and she did not have the intention of cleaning up the ce.
She lowered her head and scrolled through her phone for a while. All the major media outlets were still reporting on Fang Ln¡¯s shameless act.
A lot ofizens along with her schoolmates from Jing Hua University had expressed their concern for her after seeing her mother¡¯s true character.
After all, Fang Ln was not only greedy. She had even ndered her for being unfilial. Mostizens felt that Fang Ln¡¯s actions were out of character for a birth mother.
Her phone rang at that moment. It was a call from her good friend, Sun Jiamu.
As soon as she answered it, she heard Sun Jiamu¡¯s agitated voice. ¡°Xinxin, are you alright? When I saw your lonely silhouette on television yesterday, my heart nearly died from pain!¡±
¡°My Great Missus!¡± Fang Xinxinughed and said, ¡°You¡¯ve already called me three times for this matter. I¡¯m really ok.¡±
¡°Do you want me toe apany you?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± She did not mention that she was at her brother¡¯s ce.
Although she dearly cherished her friendship with Sun Jiamu, her brother had yet to be cleared of his criminal charges. It was best if fewer people were aware that he had gotten bail for medical reasons.
¡°Have you seen the news online?¡± Sun Jiamu spoke with conviction. ¡°Everyone feels that Fang Ln isn¡¯t your birth mother...¡±
¡°En.¡±
¡°What does ¡®en¡¯ mean? Is that a yes or a no?¡±
¡°I¡¯m... not sure.¡± At first, she had been certain Fang Ln was not her birth mother.
The results from the DNA test they had done previously had already been sent to her via email. The organisation stated that Fang Ln had collected the original document.
When Fang Xinxin read the email, her feelings had been indescribablyplex.
She exined this matter to Sun Jiamu.
Sun Jiamu was silent for a moment before she responded. ¡°Logically speaking, the DNA results from a public organisation should be correct. Furthermore, Bai Qinghao¡¯s people have already confirmed that the results weren¡¯t altered by anyone. There¡¯s a chance that Fang Ln is really your mother.¡±
¡°...¡±
¡°If she is actually your mother, she is really far too biased.¡± Sun Jiamu dered. ¡°She doesn¡¯t give you even a single cent and spends all her time pushing you down. She even wants to take revenge on behalf of her other daughter, Fang Manxue. It¡¯s as though you were a child picked up from some corner. It¡¯s your greatest misfortune having her as your mother.¡±
¡°It wasn¡¯t always like this.¡± Fang Xinxin recalled the way her mother used to sincerely dote on her. ¡°Before I turned eleven, my mother loved me deeply. Things only changed in the recent years. Jiamu, I don¡¯t wish to talk about this anymore. But I¡¯ll keep investigating this matter.¡±
¡°Alright then. Remember that I¡¯m always on your side.¡±
Fang Xinxin expressed her gratitude and ended the call.
Sheid back on the sofa and rubbed her forehead.
Towards the end of her previous life, the way Fang Ln treated her had worsened. After she married into the Bai family, Fang Ln had been unrelentless in the way she demanded and squeezed every bit of benefit that she could obtain from Fang Xinxin.
Chapter 377: Punishment (Part 1)
Chapter 377: Punishment (Part 1)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Even when she became blind and paralysed, Fang Ln avoided contacting her and did not feel the slightest bit ofpassion for her.
There was no way this was her biological mother!
However, the scanned copy of their DNA result in her email clearly indicated that the two of them were mother and daughter.
Furthermore, back when they went to conduct this DNA test, Fang Ln had driven them there. She had even asked Fang Xinxin to point in whichever direction she preferred.
This was an organisation which they had randomly found.
The DNA result also was not tampered with.
She felt extremely stifled in her heart. Although the DNA test could be repeated, if...
If the results were the same, she truly did not know how she was supposed to manage... a birth mother like this.
She felt extremely frustrated!
Fang Xinxin closed her eyes to rest for a moment.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
The doorbell rang. Fang Xinxin opened the door to see a tall and big fattie who weighed at least 100 kilograms standing right outside the door! His face was covered in bumps as though he had been bitten by something and his face had swelled up like a pig¡¯s head!
Fuck! She was seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
Fang Xinxin was frightened by the person¡¯s appearance. She instantly mmed the door shut.
The doorbell rang again. She opened the door once more in frustration to see that it was the same person. ¡°Who are you?¡±
The fattie replied incoherently. ¡°Don¡¯t you recognise me?¡±
¡°Stupid fattie, my mood is bad right now. I don¡¯t have the time to guess your identity.¡±
She responded coldly. ¡°If you want to beg for money, please visit someone else¡¯s home.¡±
Liu Li felt the urge to cry. To think that despite his tall figure and firm muscles, there woulde a day where someone would address him as a ¡®fattie¡¯.
Worse, it came from the damn fattie, Fang Xinxin, herself.
He scanned Fang Xinxin¡¯s slender and attractive figure. She was no longer a fattie and had be extremely thin.
Indeed, what goes around wille around.
Liu Li straightened his clothes and answered seriously. ¡°Look at me properly. My character is unyielding. Even if I were to starve to death, I would never do something as humiliating as begging for money!¡±
Although his words were incoherent, his voice was familiar. She sized him up carefully. ¡°You¡¯re... Liu Li!¡±
His expression was moved. ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve finally recognised me!¡±
Fang Xinxin finally looked at him properly.
Liu Li¡¯s figure had originally been perfect. However, he had now swelled up a lot. He was swollen from his head to his feet. Even his face looked like a pig¡¯s head. His eyelids had also swollen up, forcing his originally big eyes to look like small slits.
His skin seemed to be covered with various bite and sting marks...
Fang Xinxin was considerably brave. If someone who was less courageous had seen this person, wouldn¡¯t they have been frightened to death?
The more she looked at him, the more astonished she was. ¡°It¡¯s only been three days. Liu Li, how did you be like this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Boss¡¯s special training...¡±
¡°He didn¡¯t even toss you back into the furnace to reincarnate.¡±
Liu Li wasn¡¯t sure if it was because his body was hurting or if his heart was feeling bitter. Tears rolled down his cheeks. ¡°Boss¡¯s special training is even worse than being tossed into the furnace for reincarnation!¡±
Fang Xinxin shifted to the side and allowed him to pass through the door. ¡°Come in first. Watch your fat figure so that it doesn¡¯t be stuck in the door.¡±
¡°...¡± Three ck lines emerged on Liu Li¡¯s forehead. Although he had gained weight, he wouldn¡¯t exactly struggle to enter the door.
He understood clearly that Fang Xinxin was intentionally poking fun at him.
This was all his fault for addressing her as ¡®Fattie Fang¡¯ in the past.
¡°Spit, spit, spit...¡± Fang Xinxin kept walking in circles around him.
Her expression was confused. ¡°I remember that Bai Qinghao¡¯s special training for you was quite light.¡±
Chapter 378: Punishment (Part 2)
Chapter 378: Punishment (Part 2)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
She thought back about it. ¡°A few days ago, I passed by your boss¡¯s study room at Yu Ting Vi and overheard his phone conversation. He said he was sending you to go swimming on the first day, to sleep in a cave on the second day, and to harvest honey on the third. There¡¯s no way you could have ended up like this with that level of punishment, right?¡±
Liu Li had no tears left to cry. ¡°Boss is a cultured and well-educated man. That was just an example of how he speaks in a graceful manner. In fact, the past three days went by like this. On the first day, I did go swimming but there was a fully grown shark swimming in the pool with me. It wasn¡¯t big enough to swallow me whole but it kept pursuing after me and almost bit my limbs off. This is also my fault for not being strong enough to defeat a shark. When I was sent to harvest honey, I realised that a strange drug had been poured into the honebs. The instant I reached in to collect the honey, more than ten thousand bees rushed towards me and stung me till I became this swollen. It was also my fault for not knowing how to adapt. I wasn¡¯t able to avoid all those bees.¡±
With despair in his voice, he continued recounting his experience. ¡°The cave I had been sent to sleep in was also the home to more than ten thousand snakes. Every inch of the cave was filled with snakes. Although they weren¡¯t venomous, there were far too many of them. I wouldn¡¯t be afraid if there were only a few, but they all came rushing towards my body. Each time I shook one off, a few more would cling onto me...¡±
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. ¡°Fuck! That¡¯s even worse than dying!¡±
Liu Li agreed with this strongly. ¡°It would be better if I had simply been shot to death. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to return today... I was supposed to undergo three days of training. It¡¯s only been two and a half days. I still had half a day left.¡±
She understood. ¡°Earlier, I asked Bai Qinghao to call you here. It turns out that I identally did you a favour.¡±
¡°Liu Li has no way of repaying Madam for saving my life...¡± He was now willing to even repay her with his own body.
¡°Which means that after you¡¯re done helping me, you¡¯ll still have to return to your training.¡± She sighed.
As expected, the training that Bai Qinghao had personally arranged would be inhumanly cruel.
To think she even misunderstood that Bai Qinghao fooled her while secretly arranging a light punishment for Liu Li. It was truly a startling revtion!
Her heart now ached for Bai Qinghao, whom she had misunderstood...
¡°Madam, you might not know this but I¡¯m deathly afraid of those big bees.¡± Liu Li gestured at himself as he shared his woes. ¡°Look, look, those tens of thousands of bees left me utterly heartbroken. They transformed a living, handsome man into this fat pig. And those snakes. Just the sight of them makes my scalp prickle. I suppose only that shark in the pool can somewhat be considered cute. Won¡¯t you ask Boss for mercy on my behalf? Can he please forget about the remaining punishment?¡±
Fang Xinxin originally hated Liu Li for his dirty mouth. However, seeing his pitiful sight and hearing the way he addressed her as ¡®Madam¡¯, she could not help but feel a rare hint of sympathy for him. ¡°This will depend on your performance.¡±
¡°Yes, I will definitely perform well.¡± Liu Li immediately nodded.
¡°Strip then.¡± Fang Xinxin carelessly responded.
Liu Li hesitated for a moment... but still took off his own coat.
Fang Xinxin red at him. ¡°Who asked you to take off your own clothes?¡±
Was she asking him to take hers off? Liu Li sized her up. He did not expect that, after losing weight, she would think to mess around behind Boss¡¯s back so quickly.
And to think that the unlucky person she had chosen was him.
Fang Xinxin watched as he stood dazedly without moving. She spoke sternly¡Ý ¡°Do you still want to be stung by the bees and eaten by snakes?¡±
¡°Of course not. But...¡± Liu Li cried out internally. He couldn¡¯t betray his boss.
As a subordinate, sleeping with his employer¡¯s woman was an unforgivable act.
¡°Look at the way you¡¯re hesitating! Either you strip or you scram! I originally nned on speaking up for you in front of Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Xinxin shot him a look of disdain. ¡°I guess you don¡¯t need it anymore?¡±
Chapter 379: Frivolous Feelings

¡°I¡¯ll strip!¡± Liu Li gritted his teeth with determination. He plucked up his courage and approached her, reaching out to hold the hem of her shirt with his eyes closed.
At most, he would say that... he wasn¡¯t interested in her.
And that his body wouldn¡¯t react.
She had already addressed him as an ¡®eunuch¡¯. Although he wasn¡¯t actually one, as long as he did not show any reaction, he wouldn¡¯t be guilty, right?
This way, he wouldn¡¯t let Boss down. He could also avoid any more special training.
Fang Xinxin pped his hand away and red at him in anger. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you say to take your clothes off?¡±
¡°Who asked you to take off my clothes?¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded him with an eyeroll.
¡°I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman. You dare to have thoughts about me. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll execute you?¡±
He was confused. Clearly, she was the one who had thoughts about him, alright? ¡°Then...¡±
She pressed her forehead against her palm. ¡°Didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao tell you why he sent you here?¡±
¡°Boss only told me to make a trip here. He didn¡¯t exin anything further.¡±
¡°No wonder you misunderstood.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered. ¡°Haven¡¯t you taken a look in the mirror? With your ghostly appearance, Bai Qinghao is ten thousand times more attractive than you. My eyes aren¡¯t blind. The reason I asked you toe over is to help my elder brother, Fang Shaohua, change his clothes. His clothes are wet. Help him change into a set of clean ones.¡±
Liu Li looked as though he had just let go of a heavy burden. Everything was fine as long as he did not have to sacrifice his body.
Sigh, in the past, he often mocked her for not looking at her own reflection. Now, even his old insults were returned to him.
Fang Xinxin sat in the living room. After three to five minutes, Liu Li stepped out of the room. ¡°I have already helped Fang Shaohua change his clothes. I also covered him with a nket along the way.¡±
¡°Your service isn¡¯t bad.¡± She nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll speak to Bai Qinghao on your behalf. You don¡¯t have to return to your training.¡±
¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± Liu Li watched her with an ambiguous gaze. He appeared to be hesitating.
Fang Xinxin was frustrated with his stuttering behaviour. ¡°Speak your mind if you¡¯re a man!¡±
He was already an old acquaintance since her first life. Even if it was the sort that drew her hatred.
¡°Did you... let our Boss down?¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression was stern.
If it was so, he would not be polite about receiving his reward for catching the adultery in the act.
¡°Rubbish.¡± She rewarded him with one word.
Liu Li did not understand the meaning of her response. Was that a ¡®yes¡¯ or a ¡®no¡¯?
Fang Xinxin found him annoying, but he was Bai Qinghao¡¯s loyal subordinate. She did not want him to misunderstand and decided to be frank. ¡°Your Boss treats me so well. How could I possibly do something to let him down? As humans, we must live with our conscience.¡±
She then thought of something. ¡°You¡¯re asking about this because you saw the blood on my brother¡¯s sheets, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Liu Li had checked thoroughly. ¡°But your brother doesn¡¯t have any injuries.¡±
Furthermore, Fang Xinxin had already slept with Boss once. This wasn¡¯t her first time.
He was unable to understand where the blood stains came from.
Fang Xinxin held her right palm up to show him the open wound. ¡°My brother was sleeping on the floor earlier. When I helped him up, my wound opened and the blood stained his bed.¡±
Liu Li saw that her expression was open and did not doubt her any further. After all, Boss had been the one to send him here.
If Boss was not worried about her being here, there was no need for him to think too deeply about this.
¡°Did you drive here?¡± Fang Xinxin asked.
He nodded.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± She said, ¡°I have other matters to settle. Give me a ride.¡±
Liu Li scanned the mess in the room. There were empty bottles strewn about. Even the rubbish bin was overturned. ¡°Should I clean up before we leave?¡±
Chapter 380: Bestowing Medicine
Chapter 380: Bestowing Medicine
She lifted her brows. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell earlier. It turns out that you¡¯re this kind hearted?¡±
He grinned in a bootlicking manner. ¡°Madam saved me from the furnace at a crucial moment. Otherwise, I would still be feeding snakes. As you said, it is important to live with our conscience.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. You¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinate, not my brother¡¯s helper. This isn¡¯t something you should do. I¡¯ll call a housekeeper toe clean upter.¡±
She then turned to leave. Liu Li rushed to keep up with her.
Fang Xinxin instructed Liu Li to send her to a certain hospital.
After parking the car, Liu Li pointed out in confusion, ¡°Doctor Shi Qian is working in this hospital this afternoon.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m here to look for him.¡± She alighted from the car. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±
Famous, highly-skilled doctors like Shi Qian were often invited to work in various hospitals regrly for a day or half a day every week.
The reward was often very high.
Today, he had been especially invited to see patients in this hospital.
Fang Xinxin had already collected a queue number online earlier.
She brought her phone out to check the time. It was almost her turn.
She followed the instructions in her phone and went up to the fifth storey. She then searched for the clinic with Dr. Shi Qian¡¯s name on the door.
¡°Next, Fang Xinxin!¡± A nurse called from the door.
Fang Xinxin stepped into the clinic. Shi Qian sat alone in front of the desk.
¡°Eh? It¡¯s really the CEO¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Surprise appeared on Shi Qian¡¯s handsome face. ¡°I thought it was someone else with the same name. If you¡¯re feeling unwell, I trust that the CEO would be happy to have me at your beck and call.¡±
Fang Xinxin sat down on the patient¡¯s seat across from him. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling unwell.¡±
¡°Then, Miss Fang is here for?¡±
Fang Xinxin brought a card out from her pocket. ¡°Back at Imperial Capital, I was clearly the one who invited you to eat with us, yet you ended up having to pay out of your own pocket. I¡¯m really sorry for that. The money in this card to repay you for that. The passcode is 888888.¡±
Shi Qian did not receive it. He lifted his brows. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you give it to me at the time.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao was feeling jealous at the time. If I did so in front of him, the consequences for you would have been worse.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Fang to be this thoughtful.¡± Shi Qian spun the ballpoint pen in his hand and rubbed his chin lightly. ¡°Please take it back. I can¡¯t ept this money.¡±
¡°You should just ept it. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to move on from this.¡± She ced the card on the desk.
He responded lightly. ¡°In fact, you don¡¯t have to be like this. I¡¯m still able to afford an expensive meal. As the CEO¡¯s private doctor, just by sharing his reputation, my status is elevated by a hundred times. A lot of hospitals have invited me to be their consultant. My annual ie also runs in millions.¡±
¡°I know.¡± She had already learned of this in her past life. Still, she insisted. ¡°That¡¯s a separate matter. Alright, now that we¡¯re done talking about the old matter, it¡¯s time for business. Please prescribe medicine for me.¡±
Shi Qian was confused. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯re not feeling unwell?¡±
¡°My body is not unwell. But my face...¡± Fang Xinxin pointed at the scabs on her face. ¡°My face was covered in e previously. It was caused by someone who added ¡®drugs¡¯ into my skincare.¡±
Shi Qian originally nned on reminding her about this. He did not expect her to already be aware of it.
It seemed like there was no need for him to worry.
¡°The scabs have already formed. They¡¯ll fall soon.¡± Before she could continue, he spoke uop. ¡°The e was formed from years of skin-damaging drugs. The wounds are likely to be very deep. The scabs will take longer than scabs from hormonal e to fall. With your current situation, they¡¯ll likely fall in a few days. There¡¯ll likely be red scars underneath as well. Those won¡¯t fade easily.¡±

¡°Doctor Shi, please bestow the medicine!¡± She was especially agitated. Other doctors¡¯ medicine could not help her scars to fade, but his prescription could.
¡°Your words are too heavy.¡± Shi Qian pushed his sses up. ¡°You¡¯re my patient. You even took a queue number to wait. Naturally, I will fulfill my responsibilities to give you an examination and prescribe you the necessary medication.¡±
Fuck!
Fang Xinxin could not help but curse internally.
In her previous life, Shi Qian had been biased against her. Although she clearly hinted her request to him and even asked Bai Qinghao to urge him on her behalf, he refused to prescribe the medication for her no matter what.
He had wanted her scars to remain for life.
He even politely urged her to look in the mirror everyday to see what a poor match she was for Bai Qinghao.
If she had known it was this easy to obtain medicine from Shi Qian, she wouldn¡¯t have taken all those roundabout turns in her previous life.
Shi Qian personally gave her an examination with his instruments. He then prescribed her arge tub of medicinal paste. He instructed her to apply it on her face after the scabs fell and assured her that they would not leave any scars behind.
Furthermore, he exined that the medicine was good for the skin and would even improve her skin quality.
Fang Xinxin expressed her gratitude repeatedly and held the tub of legendary medicine happily to climb into Liu Li¡¯s SUV. ¡°Let¡¯s return to the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, you appear to be in a very good mood?¡± Liu Li asked him while driving.
She nced at him. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to hate me anymore?¡±
¡°As you said, we should know what gratitude is.¡± Liu Li responded expressionlessly. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, Boss would already have shot me to death.¡±
Fang Xinxin was startled. ¡°Maybe he was joking with you? He wouldn¡¯t actually have shot you.¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t joke about these things.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± She responded musingly. ¡°I should ask him about this one day to see if he really will.¡±
She nced at his swollen, sorry state. ¡°Do you hate him now?¡±
¡°No.¡± He said, ¡°From the day I decided to follow him, my life belonged to him. I have no resentment if my master wishes for my death.¡±
He then changed the topic and nced at her. ¡°You¡¯re a bringer of misfortune and you¡¯re even ugly. If I had to hate someone, it would be you!¡±
As expected, he was still an honest man who didnt know how to control his mouth. She nodded. ¡°Makes sense. Go ahead and hate me then.¡±
He scratched his short hair with some embarrassment. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m not sure why, but it seems like aside from being ugly, there¡¯s nothing really bad about you.¡±
It seemed like he couldn¡¯t really hate her?
¡°Aside from having a dirty mouth.¡± Although she hated being called ¡®ugly¡¯, she still patted him on the shoulder generously. ¡°You¡¯re not too bad either.¡±
The two of them chatted leisurely and quickly returned to the Yu Ting Vi.
...
In the city centre, outside the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO¡¯s office, Shi Qian spoke to the CEO¡¯s assistant guarding outside. ¡°I have something to speak to the Commander about. Please pass on my request.¡±
A minuteter, the assistant gave him a ¡®please¡¯ gesture. ¡°You may enter.¡±
Shi Qian stepped into the room and spoke politely to Bai Qinghao, who sat behind arge office desk made of red wood. ¡°CEO...¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at him emotionlessly. ¡°It¡¯s after-work hours. Why are you here?¡±
¡°This subordinate has some private matters.¡±
¡°Speak.¡± His attitude was stern.
Shi Qian respectfully offered a bank card. ¡°I am unable to ept your money.¡±
Bai Qinghao frowned. His cold, handsome features immediately appeared heavy. ¡°When did I give you money?¡±
¡°Back at Imperial Capital, I paid around twenty thousand dors for my meal after the ny percent discount.¡± Shi Qian responded. ¡°Miss Fang visited me today to hand me this card. There is thirty thousand dors in it. She said she was the one who invited me for the meal and insisted on paying for it.¡±
Chapter 382: Keep The Money To Buy Sweets
Chapter 382: Keep The Money To Buy Sweets
¡°Since she gave it to you, ept it.¡± Bai Qinghao responded indifferently and felt a rare hint of curiosity. ¡°Why are you returning her money to me?¡±
Shi Qian responded as though it was obvious. ¡°Everyone knows that Fang Xinxin is still a student. The money she gave me naturally came from you. This is the same as your money.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t give her that money.¡±
¡°But the Fang family is so petty towards her...¡±
Bai Qinghao cut him off. ¡°Fang Xinxin won the lottery earlier and obtained thirteen million dors of reward.¡±
¡°...!¡± Shi Qian waspletely taken aback. ¡°It turns out that the person rumoured to have won the grand prize, who dressed like spiderman to collect the reward, was actually Fang Xinxin. Her luck sure is good.¡±
He made spitting noises twice and secretly nced at the Commander. ¡°Of course, her greatest blessing in this life was bing your fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was mild as he responded in a heavy voice. ¡°It¡¯s my greatest blessing to have be her fianc¨¦!¡±
¡°You¡¯re not being serious, are you?¡±
¡°Will I joke about this?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his cold eyes unhappily.
Shi Qian truly could not understand this. What was so good about Fang Xinxin? Although her figure was now good and her skin was fair, her face was still extremely ugly.
Forgive him for having such particr tastes! As he was naturally born handsome, he only knew to admire beautiful girls.
...
At Yu Ting Vi¡¯s luxurious, beautiful backyard, Fang Xinxin sat on a chair to enjoy the sunlight.
The entire sky was dyed orange by the sun...
This scenery was more beautiful than anything she could have imagined!
Fang Xinxinid back and closed her eyes to rest. A row of maids stood behind her waiting for her instructions.
With the status of Madam Bai, the extravagance was bound to be on another level.
Liu Li stood stiffly by her side and struggled to speak.
Fang Xinxin did not have to open her eyes to feel his flustered appearance. She maintained an aloof attitude and did not ask him about it.
But Liu Li could not tolerate it any longer. He rubbed his palms together andughed awkwardly. ¡°Miss Fang, the sun is almost setting.¡±
¡°It is.¡±
He immediately began currying favour with her. ¡°The sunset is truly beautiful. We¡¯re almost approaching evening. Your choice to sunbathe here is truly a unique way to cultivate the mind.¡±
¡°Mm hmm.¡± She epted his words nonchntly.
Liu Li hesitated. ¡°Um... I didn¡¯t return to my special training in the afternoon. If Boss is unhappy when he returns, the consequences will be dire.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Liu Li was unhappy. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you would speak to Boss on my behalf? Why haven¡¯t you made any calls to him?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t phone calls require money? Also, I didn¡¯t specify when I would speak up for you.¡±
¡°Do you have to be that stingy?¡± Liu Li immediately took two dors out from his pocket and offered it to her. ¡°Here is the money for the phone call. You can keep the change.¡±
¡°Be obedient. Save the money to buy sweets for yourself.¡± Fang Xinxin did not take it from him.
She was not actually bothered by the money. Earlier, when she called Bai Qinghao, he had been busy and she did not wish to disturb him.
¡°Great-aunt, hasn¡¯t our rtionship improved?¡± Liu Li appeared on the verge of crying. ¡°How did I offend you again?¡±
¡°Aside from being a little ugly...¡± She kindly reminded him.
Liu Li wondered why these words were so familiar. He suddenly recalled saying it to her in the car earlier. ¡°Aiyo, my great Madam. You¡¯re still angry about that...¡±
¡°Go find any woman whom you know. Tell her that, ¡®You¡¯re fucking ugly¡¯.¡±
¡°I... wouldn¡¯t that be asking for death?¡±
She opened her arms. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
¡°Who is ugly?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold voice rang in her ear. Fang Xinxin sat up from the chair and watched as Bai Qinghao approached.
He was dressed in a formal suit. Doctor Shi Qian followed right behind.

¡°It is this subordinate who is ugly.¡± Liu Li immediately straightened his body respectfully.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never dare say that Fang Xinxin was ugly in front of his boss.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gazended on Liu Li¡¯s swollen figure. ¡°This appearance of yours is rather ugly.¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± Everything his boss said was correct.
Shi Qian appeared to have seen a miracle. He rushed forward and stared at Liu Li. ¡°Fuck! Where did such a big, fat pige from? His face and body are covered in bites!¡±
¡°Doctor Shi...¡± Liu Li smiled bitterly. ¡°We¡¯re old friends. Do you have to poke fun at me like that?¡±
¡°Who are you?¡± Shi Qian pushed his sses up. He struggled to recognise the person in front of him.
¡°It¡¯s me, Liu Li.¡±
Shi Qian patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s you. Forgive me for not recognising you. You changed far too drastically. Congrattions, Miss Fang!¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed at herself and found his words to be strange. ¡°How is Liu Li¡¯s change rted to me?¡±
¡°Someone is finally uglier than you. Shouldn¡¯t you be happy?¡± Shi Qian asked her seriously.
It seemed that it was true? Fang Xinxin¡¯s cheeks puffed up with anger.
Before she could respond, Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gazended on Shi Qian. ¡°You think that Fang Xinxin is ugly?¡±
A powerful, dangerous aura left Shi Qian¡¯s back cold.
She was uglier than everyone in this world, alright?
Shi Qian¡¯s heart was trembling. He did not dare be honest. ¡°This subordinate spoke wrongly. She is not ugly.¡±
Her face was covered in dry and hard scabs. He truly could not go against his conscience to say that she was beautiful.
Bai Qinghaomanded him coldly. ¡°Praise her.¡±
¡°CEO...¡± You¡¯re asking your subordinate to lie with his eyes wide open. Doesn¡¯t your conscience ache?
He was extremely frightened and could only thicken his skin and said, ¡°Fang Xinxin is especially ¡®beautiful¡¯.¡± The type of beauty that only someone like his CEO, whose eyes had problems, could admire.
As someone with integrity, Shi Qian felt that he needed to maintain a just standard of beauty.
He nced at Liu Li¡¯s pitiful appearance and sighed internally. This guy had very little control over his mouth. That was why he was bitten by bees and reduced to this state.
Shi Qian was someone who cherished himself. He would never allow his handsome exterior to be harmed.
Bai Qinghao appeared satisfied with his words. He shifted his gaze onto Shi Qian. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±
Shi Qian immediately approached Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. This time, he did not wait for the CEO¡¯s order. He put on a pair of medical gloves and prepared to examine Fang Xinxin¡¯s injured right hand. ¡°Miss Fang, you sure have a good life. Your wound is so light yet the CEO kept worrying about it. He instructed this subordinate to examine your wound.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve troubled you.¡± She held her palm out with a smile.
Shi Qian re-applied a freshyer of medication and casually asked her. ¡°Your wound reopened again?¡±
Bai Qinghao watched Fang Xinxin¡¯s wound and asked her in a stern voice. ¡°How did it open again?¡±
She did not dare admit it was caused by her older brother, Fang Shaohua. ¡°I was a little careless.¡±
Bai Qinghao frowned. His cold voice could not conceal his heartache. ¡°Be more careful.¡±
Liu Li turned away to wipe his tears. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin suffered such a small wound and you¡¯re worried about it to the point of heartache. This subordinate was almost killed by your training.¡±
¡°You are still alive and resemble a human. Not bad.¡± Bai Qinghao rewarded him with a few words.
¡°Thank you for your praise,¡± he responded pitifully.
Fang Xinxin took in Liu Li¡¯s aggrieved appearance andforted him. ¡°Comrade Liu Li, don¡¯t be jealous. After all, I can sleep with your family¡¯s boss. You can¡¯t.¡±
She really wasn¡¯t afraid of running her mouth in front of others! Bai Qinghao¡¯s ears felt a little hot. He shot a warning look towards Fang Xinxin.
It was a pity though that she was not the slightest bit afraid!

In order to cover-up his embarrassment, Bai Qinghao put on a stern expression to question him. ¡°Liu Li, don¡¯t you have half a day of training remaining?¡±
¡°Boss, Liu Li is already in a pitiful state. Please let him off.¡± Shi Qian immediately spoke up for hisrade.
¡°That¡¯s right, Young Master. This subordinate also requests for you to release him early.¡± Zhao Cheng also spoke up with a stony expression.
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark. He could not go back on the promise that he had made to Fang Xinxin.
Liu Li immediately looked at Fang Xinxin for help. His target was clear. ¡°Miss Fang, please save me!¡±
Fang Xinxin also could not bear for Liu Li to be tortured any further. Previously she had also agreed to help him.
However, she decided to tease him first. ¡°Doctor Shi Qian and Butler Zhao are both important to CEO Bai. Their words werepletely useless. I doubt there¡¯s anything I can say to help you.¡±
¡°Give it a try?¡± The hope in Liu Li¡¯s heart was not extinguished.
She sighed helplessly. ¡°Qinghao, I promised Liu Li that he wouldn¡¯t have to make up for his remaining training.¡±
Bai Qinghao waved his hand expressionlessly. ¡°Forget about it then.¡±
Shi Qian and Butler Zhao looked at each other in dismay. Shi Qian spoke up in a wronged voice. ¡°CEO, why were Fang Xinxin¡¯s words effective, but ours useless?¡±
¡°She¡¯s my other half.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were emotionless and his tone was severe. ¡°Her promises are the same as mine.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes lit up. She was moved to the point of melting!
Shi Qian¡¯s lips were pressed in disapproval. ¡°CEO, you¡¯re spoiling her too much. Won¡¯t this be a problem?¡± What if you spoil her into bing a demon...
Bai Qinghao demandingly held Fang Xinxin¡¯s waist and tugged her close. He responded uncaringly. ¡°What¡¯s the problem with spoiling my own woman?¡±
¡°This...¡± Shi Qian wanted to exin that this might interfere with his work but was afraid of being executed on the spot.
The CEO was not a normal person.
Everyone fell silent.
As though they all agreed that Fang Xinxin¡¯s existence itself was a mistake.
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes and responded angrily. ¡°Except for Bai Qinghao who is generous, all of you are extremely petty. To think that you can¡¯t stand the sight of a man treating his own woman well?¡±
¡°...¡±
Shi Qian, Liu Li and Butler Zhao, the three grown men, had no words to refute her.
The row of maids behind Fang Xinxin were green with envy.
If Young Master could give them even a single nce, they would be willing to die!
Liu Li tugged Shi Qian to the side. ¡°Um, Doctor Shi, my body is all swollen. Won¡¯t you give me an examination?¡±
¡°Stop. If you want me to examine you, go collect a number and queue up at the hospital tomorrow.¡± Shi Qian approached Fang Xinxin and took out three stacks of money from his folder. ¡°Miss Fang, I have epted your money for my meal the other day. There were thirty thousand dors in your card. I don¡¯t need so much. This is your change.¡±
¡°Save it to buy sweets for yourself.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand generously.
¡°I don¡¯t eat sweets.¡± Shi Qian felt insulted with the way she spoke to him as though he was a child. ¡°I won¡¯t ept this money!¡±
Earlier, Shi Qian had expressed that she was ugly. Fang Xinxin was still unhappy about it. She shot Bai Qinghao a flirtatious look with her sparkling eyes. ¡°Dear...¡±
Bai Qinghao was startled by her gaze. His steel heartpletely melted at her provocative nce.
Hemanded Shi Qian with a stern expression. ¡°She told you to use it to buy sweets. Don¡¯t be noisy. You can leave now.¡±
He also did not wish for his subordinates to have a poor rtionship with Fang Xinxin. Perhaps buying some sweets would improve things?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Shi Qian left from there helplessly.
¡°Go and receive treatment for your wounds. Apply for reimbursement for the medical fees. You don¡¯t have to report for duty until your wounds have recovered.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded Liu Li.
¡°Thank you, Boss!¡±
Bai Qinghao shot them a look. Butler Zhao and the maids immediately retreated.
Bai Qinghao was finally left alone with Fang Xinxin in the backyard.
He sat down on the chair which Fang Xinxin hadid on earlier and tugged on her waist. He adjusted his position for her to sit on hisp.
The intimate posture left Fang Xinxin feeling a little awkward.
He reached out to massage her shoulders and casually began. ¡°I heard from the butler that when you visited your father at the Jia Ya Hospital today, you didn¡¯t let the chauffeur drive you there?¡±
¡°En.¡± She enjoyed his service and her stiff body slowly rxed. ¡°Walking will help me lose weight.¡±
He furrowed his dark, ck brows. His heavy, cold voice conveyed his heartache. ¡°You¡¯re thin enough now. You really don¡¯t need to lose any more weight.¡±
Look at her thin arms and legs. He was worried he would hurt her if he applied too much strength.
¡°I¡¯ll lose a little more.¡± She responded coaxingly. ¡°Just a little more and it¡¯ll be perfect.¡±
Earlier, she had weighed herself. She had lost more and was now at 50 kilograms.
Her height was 1.67 metres. If she maintained a 45 kilograms weight, her figure would be perfect. She would definitely be able topete with any model.
¡°Why do you need to be perfect?¡± He frowned unhappily.
For you. Her gaze was fixated on him.
He was too perfect and she wanted to present her best side to him. ¡°Because all girls naturally love to be beautiful.¡±
She did not wish for him to feel burdened. Moreover, this response was also somewhat truthful.
Bai Qinghao was helpless. He coldly instructed her. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to lose any more weight!¡±
She refused to listen and did not respond.
The two of themid back on the chair. He opened his firm arms to hold her and they quietly watched the beautiful sunset.
He lowered his head to watch her docile, obedient figure.
Whenever he recalled the way she used to avoid him, he felt a wave of diforting emotions.
He hoped things would never return to the way they had been. He hoped that she would always stay this obedient.
...
Behind the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main building, there were several two-storeyed modern buildings. These were arranged for the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s maids and bodyguards.
The two areas were separated.
Liu Li entered one of the dormitories meant for the bodyguards. He lived in a single en-suite room and had his own washroom and balcony.
Although it was a dormitory, the renovation was even more luxurious than that of a hotel.
Liu Li stepped in to see that Shi Qian was sitting on the couch. ¡°Doctor Shi, why are you here?¡±
Shi Qian gestured towards the other seat. ¡°Sit down. Take off your clothes.¡±
Liu Li immediately understood that he nned to treat his wounds. He took off his clothes. ¡°Your mouth is stubborn but your heart is soft. You came personally to examine my wounds yet you told me to go and line up at the hospital tomorrow...¡±
¡°Enough with the nonsense.¡± Shi Qian ced his medicine box on the coffee table and brought out his stethoscope to press it against his chest. ¡°Your heart is beating powerfully. Your vitals are also stronger than that of a normal person.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know how terrible my special training has been for the past three days.¡± Liu Li beganining. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because my body is strong, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have made it back. This was all caused by Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°You should learn to be controlled. Who asked you to run your mouth off like that?¡± Shi Qian asked him. ¡°Oh, did you know that Fang Xinxin won the lottery¡¯s grand prize.¡±
¡°I was the first one to know!¡± Liu Li was extremely agitated when he heard this. ¡°Did you know that on the day the results were to be released, Fang Xinxin had a stack of lottery tickets worth two dors each. She said that she would sell one to me for two dors.¡±
Chapter 386: Shaohua And Third Sister? (Part 1)
Chapter 386: Shaohua And Third Sister? (Part 1)
¡°I checked. Fang Xinxin bought seventeen tickets at the time. Each one of them won her eight hundred thousand dors. The total went up to thirteen million dors.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s eyes lit up and he spoke in envy. Even if you only bought one of them, you are rich now! Dude, since you earned so much, you should treat your brother to a meal!¡±
¡°I...¡± Liu Li scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. ¡°I didn¡¯t win anything.¡±
¡°How could you have not?¡± Shi Qian did not believe him.
Liu Li felt the urge to cry. ¡°I refused to buy the ticket from her!¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± Shi Qian stood up in anger. ¡°Even if you were unwilling, I was willing. You should have informed me to buy it.¡±
¡°How could I have known that she would win...¡±
¡°Are you an idiot?¡± Shi Qian watched him in disappointment. ¡°You¡¯re a grown man. Even if she just asked you to buy, what was wrong with just giving her two dors?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand just how much I used to hate, hate, hate her.¡± He responded angrily. ¡°I would rather give the money to a beggar than give it to her. I didn¡¯t expect that by saving those two dors...¡±
His expression fell. ¡°I actually avoided receiving eight hundred thousand dors.¡±
¡°Buddy, if you¡¯re that foolish, I have nothing I can do to help you.¡± Shi Qian felt angered on his behalf. ¡°Come on. I¡¯ll at least help you vent a little.¡±
Previously when Fang Xinxin had visited his clinic, she had registered her phone number.
He had casually noted it down. He brought his phone out and wrote her a message.
[Miss Fang, since you asked me to buy sweets today, could you not visit me to buy any more prescription?]
Liu Li leaned in. ¡°What prescription did she buy from you? Medicine for cancer treatment?¡±
¡°No.¡± Shi Qian did not lie. ¡°It¡¯s for her skin. It¡¯s my own form. She won¡¯t be able to buy it from other hospitals.¡±
¡°All women love beauty. Especially someone like Fang Xinxin, considering how ugly she is.¡± Liu Li understood immediately. ¡°In that case, doesn¡¯t this mean that you have a hold on her weakness?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Shi Qian smiled proudly and ruthlessly. ¡°In the future, even if she begs me for it, I won¡¯t sell it to her.¡±
Fang Xinxin quickly responded.
[Is this Doctor Shi? I noted down your formtion. I can easily visit any other hospital for them to provide me with the same formtion. I won¡¯t trouble you in the future.]
Shi Qian stared at Fang Xinxin¡¯s reply with wide eyes and muttered to himself. ¡°There¡¯s no way. My form involves twenty different chinese herbs. Furthermore, I only have it written down on my personalptop. Other hospitals won¡¯t be able to figure it out. I usually make the prescription myself too.¡±
Upon hearing this, Liu Li responded with certainty. ¡°She definitely doesn¡¯t know the formtion. She¡¯s lying to you!¡±
Fang Xinxin then sent him another message. In that, she listed twenty different chinese herbs.
Shi Qian checked the list. ¡°She... she actually got it all correct!¡±
¡°How did she obtain your formtion?¡± Liu Li was confused.
¡°When I opened myptop to make the prescription for her, she was sitting right next to me. She must have seen it.¡± Shi Qian and Liu Li exchanged looks.
They eximed at the same time. ¡°Her memory is too good!¡± It seems like this woman isn¡¯tpletely useless?
...
In Hong Sheng District, on the twentieth storey of Block A, Fang Shaohua woke up in his apartment. He watched as the part-time helper, Gao Ru, cleaned the apartment.
He rubbed his aching forehead. He had drunk too much and now had a headache. ¡°Auntie Gao, didn¡¯t I inform you not to visit for the next few days?¡±
Gao Ru respectfully responded. ¡°Miss Fang Xinxin asked me toe.¡±
¡°She came by...¡± Fang Shaohua vaguely recalled seeing Fang Xinxin when he was drunk.
Chapter 387: Shaohua And Third Sister? (Part 2)
Chapter 387: Shaohua And Third Sister? (Part 2)
Fang Shaohua wasn¡¯t sure if he had said anything inappropriate while he was drunk.
Thest thing he recalled was kissing Xinxin...
What happened after? He gripped his head tightly as his headache worsened. He couldn¡¯t remember anything more!
But what he recalled was sufficient to leave him shocked.
He scanned the set of clean clothes he was wearing. He then asked the cleaningdy. ¡°Auntie Gao, did you change my clothes for me?¡±
¡°No.¡± Gao Ru responded. ¡°I only tidied up the apartment. I did not change your clothes. However, Miss Fang visited before I did. She was the one who contacted me toe take care of you.¡±
¡°Did you see anyone else?¡± After asking this question, Fang Shaohua immediately thought himself to be an idiot.
He currently had thebel of a criminal over his head. How could Xinxin possibly let an outsider visit?
As expected, Gao Ru replied. ¡°No. Before I came, Miss Fang Xinxin had to leave first as she was busy.¡±
Fang Shaohua tried his best to search through his memories but his headache only worsened. Aside from the moment when he kissed Xinxin, he could not recall anything else.
However, his body felt strangely rxed.
Could it be that something happened between him and Xinxin?
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, he felt as though something had exploded in his head.
This is?
He sat by the bedside and reached out to touch the dried-up bloodstain on the sheets...
A hint of confusion appeared in Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes.
Didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao say that Xinxin already belonged to him? Why would the sheets be stained red?
Could it be that Bai Qinghao had lied?
He recalled that Bai Qinghao had intentionally mentioned this matter to him. The more he deliberated over it, the more he felt that Bai Qinghao must have sensed his feelings for Xinxin and had done so in order to extinguish his feelings.
His third sister had always feared Bai Qinghao. It was logical that she would go along with his words.
Gao Ru had also noticed the stain on the sheets. She asked in concern. ¡°Sir, are you injured?¡±
¡°No.¡± He shook his head.
Gao Ru immediately understood what had happened. ¡°Then, was it with a girl...¡± Youngsters these days... Mr. Fang was an attractive man. It wasn¡¯t surprising that he was having such rtions with a girl.
She paused for a moment before nagging. ¡°Although I am only a part-time helper, Auntie has lived much longer than you have. It¡¯s fine to have a rtionship like this in this decade, but you have to properly cherish her. After all, the first time is very important to girls.¡±
¡°Please be rest assured.¡± Fang Shaohua nodded with a smile. ¡°She is my most beloved treasure.¡±
He even treasured the gifts she gave him when she was young by burying them under his secret location under the moonlight. How could he possibly not cherish her?
Xinxin had actually be his.
The red stain on his bed indicated that her rtionship with Bai Qinghao was not as he believed.
The joy in his heart nearly overwhelmed him. He could not contain it at all.
He was really too happy!
Fang Shaohua approached the windows. The evening sky was dark, yet it appeared brighter than it could have been in the daytime.
The moon hung above the city. It appeared like a bright, clean pearl apanied by twinkling stars.
The sight seemed to be telling him that his future would only gradually brighten.
In the future, he would definitely cherish Xinxin. He would also work harder to manage his career. When his crimes were washed off, he would chart out a bright future for her.
Gao Ru nced at him without a change in expression. She struggled to speak up. She wanted to ask if it was Fang Xinxin...
However, she was a subordinate. It was inappropriate for her to interfere with her employer¡¯s matters. Thus, she only asked. ¡°Mr. Fang, I have washed your dirty clothes. The bed sheets are dirty. Would you like me to wash them now?¡±

¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Shaohua returned to the bedside and touched the sheets lovingly.
The stain on the sheets caused his mood to soar even higher.
This represented the wonderful moment he shared with Xinxin.
He folded up the sheets and approached the main bedroom¡¯s wardrobe. He ced it neatly inside.
¡°I¡¯ve already prepared your meal. Please go ahead,¡± Gao Ru told him respectfully.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s previous gloomy feelings werepletely erased. He had been feeling down for the past few days and barely ate anything. Right now, he was starving.
He went to the living room and finished all the food quickly.
Gao Ru watched him eat. It seemed as though he had been starved. She recalled that two days ago, Mr. Fang had been struggling to eat. As expected, love was powerful.
After finishing his meal, Fang Shaohua sent Gao Ru away.
He paced back and forth in his living room.
He had been drunk for several days. He wasn¡¯t even sure what day it was right now.
He checked his phone. It was 8:00 p.m. on a Sunday.
He wanted to give Fang Xinxin a call, but the sound of her repeating the word ¡®no¡¯ reyed in his mind.
She didn¡¯t give her his consent, did she?
Yet, he still forcefully took her innocence.
Surely she... hates him now?
He was afraid to learn of her hatred and despair...
However, even if she now hated him, he definitely had to take responsibility!
He hesitated for two hours and considered countless possibilities in his head. Finally at 10:00 in the night, Fang Shaohua made a call to Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone.
The dialing tone rang more than ten times, but the call did not connect.
He lowered his gaze. As expected, she was unwilling to ept his call.
His heart was on the edge but he waited patiently. Just as the ringing was about to stop, Fang Xinxin¡¯s drowsy voice finally reached him. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re awake?¡±
¡°You¡¯re sleeping?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± She yawned.
¡°Where are you?¡±
¡°Yu Ting Vi.¡±
A hint of cold appeared on his handsome face. ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°We¡¯re not together. I don¡¯t know what he is doing.¡± She wasying on the main bedroom¡¯s bed. She guessed that Bai Qinghao was working in his study.
When Fang Shaohua heard this, most of the coldness in his expression faded.
Everything was fine if she was not sleeping with Bai Qinghao. ¡°Xinxin, earlier, when you came by, I shouldn¡¯t have...¡±
¡°Brother, don¡¯t bring this up again!¡± She was quite embarrassed. ¡°You only drank too much.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t me me?¡± He could not conceal the joy in his voice.
¡°Things have already happened. What¡¯s there to me you for?¡± Besides, he had been drunk at the time. She had also blocked him with her hand.
He only kissed the back of her hand for a moment.
When they were young, the two of them used to y ¡®house¡¯ frequently. He had even kissed her face in the past!
Fang Shaohua was deeply moved. His joy nearly flooded out of his heart. ¡°Xinxin, I... I will take responsibility for you!¡±
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. She responded hurriedly. ¡°Brother, what are you talking about? You absolutely can¡¯t! I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If he learns of your thought, you¡¯ll be screwed!¡±
Her brother was really... though they were not rted by blood, and even if he liked her, was there a need to take responsibility for a kiss on the back of her hand?
She recalled his drunken confession, he had said that he loved her...
She guessed that he was trying to take responsibility for his confession.
¡°But...¡±
¡°There are no buts.¡± Fang Xinxin cut him off seriously. ¡°Brother, Bai Qinghao is the only person in my heart. You can only be my brother.¡±
¡°...¡±
But he did not wish to be her brother at all. Even if that had been his role since they were young.
She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly continued apologetically. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m really sorry. I dirtied your bedsheet.¡±
Chapter 389: Xinxin, I Love You
Chapter 389: Xinxin, I Love You
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± The event had brought him a lot of happiness. However, the joy he obtained from her first time faded greatly. This was because... she didn¡¯t want him to take responsibility.
¡°By the way, you best make sure not to drink too much again. You were drunk to the point where you could barely care for yourself. I was worried that you would have alcohol poisoning,¡± she nagged on the other end of the call.
He seriously listened to her sweet voice and memorised it carefully in his heart.
His heart was aching badly.
He had thought that after obtaining her, she would give him an opportunity...
Her refusal caused him pain, but her concern warmed his heart. It filled his heartspace with light and gradually lit up his gloomy life.
After she ended the call, he brought out his phone and opened a photo of hers.
It was a photo taken a long time ago. Since then, he did not have any opportunities to take new photos of her.
Slowly, he lowered his head and pressed a kiss against her lips in the image.
He whispered silently in his heart: Xinxin, I love you.
...
On Monday morning, Fang Xinxin headed to school from the Yu Ting Vi as usual. Bai Qinghao had left early in the morning for work and she refused the butler¡¯s arrangement for her to be driven to school. She still insisted on jogging to school.
Midway through her run, a car came to her side. Sun Jiamu waved at her from the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Xinxin, get on.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m trying to lose weight.¡±
Sun Jiamu understood that she intended on losing a little more weight. Hence, she did not argue. ¡°Besides running everyday, you also spend a lot of time in the gym, don¡¯t you? It must be difficult.¡±
Fang Xinxin extended one hand upwards and ced her other hand on her waist to strike a casual pose. ¡°For the sake of perfection, I¡¯ll do it even if I¡¯m tired.¡±
¡°I know you¡¯re doing this for your Bai Qinghao. But...¡± Sun Jiamu took in her hourss figure.
Her waist was slender and her curves were voluptuous. ¡°Xinxin, your figure is really attractive right now. You¡¯re currently wearing a set of loose sportswear, but I promise if you change into something more fitting, there¡¯ll be very few girls in our school who couldpete with you.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re saying that, my hard work must be paying off.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded in satisfaction.
Sun Jiamu took her in. ¡°That¡¯s right. If you lose a little more weight, you won¡¯t have the best figure in the entire school. You¡¯ll have the best figure in the entire city.¡±
¡°That is why I must continue running. You go ahead and drive to school first.¡± She waved her hand.
Sun Jiamu was not in a rush. She drove slowly and chatted with her until they arrived at school.
After Sun Jiamu parked her car, the two of them strolled into the school.
Fang Xinxin now had fair skin and a good figure. However, her appearance was ugly to the point where it was rather eye-catching.
Furthermore, she was also the main topic of recent news. Thus, she drew a lot of attention on her way in.
Till afternoon, countless schoolmates expressed their ¡®concern¡¯ for her. They also eximed over how she had lost weight so quickly to obtain a figure perfect enough to be a model. There were no longer anyments about her unfilial actions.
Instead, most students were sympathetic to her having a bloodthirsty mother like Fang Ln.
During lunchtime, Fang Xinxin stepped out of the ssroom with Sun Jiamu.
She noticed a tall, handsome and graceful looking man loitering in the hallway.
Fang Xinxin nced an eye at him and saw that it was Bai Chenxi, the bastard.
Bai Chenxi wore a light blue shirt with a pair of jeans and appeared to be smiling gracefully. His attractive appearance instantly drew several girls¡¯ attention.
He watched the crowd of girls flooding out of the ssroom and seemed to be searching for something.
Students were leaving the ssroom in groups. Fang Xinxin walked with them and crossed him unobtrusively.
Chapter 390: I Was Wrong, Forgive Me
Chapter 390: I Was Wrong, Forgive Me
Bai Chenxi did not recognise her and hence, did not call out to her.
Instead, Wu Jiatong stepped forward to ask him. ¡°Handsome, are you looking for someone?¡±
Bai Chenxi smiled and asked her politely. ¡°May I know if Fang Xinxin from your ss is around?¡±
¡°She just left. Weren¡¯t you looking?¡± Wu Jiatong pointed at Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure more than ten metres away.
Bai Chenxi ran over and stopped Fang Xinxin near the staircase. ¡°Xinxin...¡±
Fang Xinxin ignored him and walked around him to leave.
Bai Chenxi immediately blocked her path once more. He sized her up with a seemingly graceful nce and eximed in surprise. ¡°Your skin has be so fair. And you¡¯ve lost so much weight. I couldn¡¯t even recognise you earlier!¡±
He had seen her, of course, since she was in the news recently but... there was still some difference when he saw her in real life.
After all, she used to be as fat as a pig, but now her figure was better than that of a model. He struggled to adjust to the drastic changes.
¡°Have you said everything?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was heavy. ¡°If you¡¯re done speaking, scram!¡±
¡°I have something that I wish to discuss with you.¡± A hint of hurt appeared in his elegant features.
In the previous life, Fang Xinxin had been thoroughly fooled by his refined appearance.
In truth, this man was a polite degenerate. He was worse than a beast!
¡°We don¡¯t have anything to discuss.¡± Her expression was cold. She found it bothersome to offer him even a single nce.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was stiff for a second.
In the past, whenever he appeared troubled, she would give in to him without any hesitation. To think she would bepletely unmoved right now.
Could it be that Bai Qinghao had won her over with his money?
A few students who were about to leave noticed a handsome man standing in Fang Xinxin¡¯s way. They all paused to watch the scene curiously.
After all, it was rare for other men to be looking for God Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
If there were any ambiguous urrences, it would be the news of the century.
Sun Jiamu shoved Bai Chenxi aside. ¡°Don¡¯t fucking block your mothers¡¯ way. Scram!¡±
¡°Who are you?¡± Bai Chenxi was forced to take a step back. He was slightly angered and frowned in displeasure.
¡°None of your business!¡± Sun Jiamu had heard Fang Xinxin mention this bastard in the past.
He was a little gigolo who was delusional. He spent most of his time fantasizing that Xinxin had feelings for him.
Bai Chenxi watched as Fang Xinxin walked away. He urgently tried to push Sun Jiamu aside.
To his surprise, Jiang Xingnan caught his wrist right after. ¡°Who are you? Didn¡¯t you see that she isn¡¯t paying you any attention!¡±
Fang Xinxin turned back to see that Jiang Xingnan was standing up for Sun Jiamu once more. A hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.
Jiang Xingnan, this young master, was quite bad-tempered but his heart was notpletely bad.
If he really became a couple with Sun Jiamu, she would be happy to congratte them.
¡°Who are you?¡± Bai Chenxi became a little frustrated as he was stopped once more.
¡°I have nothing to hide. My name is Jiang Xingnan.¡± Young Master Jiang very generously reported his background.
¡°It turns out you¡¯re Principal Jiang¡¯s son.¡± Bai Chenxi did not wish to offend him.
This was not just because he was Jing Hua University¡¯s principal¡¯s son...
Wu Jiatong approached them in anger and interrogated him. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, you¡¯re standing up for Sun Jiamu again. Do you like her or not?¡±
¡°Are you loose down there?¡± Jiang Xingnan shot her a look of disdain.
Wu Jiatong¡¯s cheeks flushed red. ¡°You¡¯ve never tried it before, how would you know...¡±
¡°Stop.¡± Jiang Xingnan shouted. ¡°This old man has absolutely no interest in you. I¡¯m saying that you¡¯re too free. Do you have that much space to be a busybody?¡±
¡°You...¡± Wu Jiatong turned pale from humiliation. ¡°What¡¯s so good about Sun Jiamu? Why do you like her so much? Why don¡¯t you like me?¡±
Chapter 391: Learned To Love
Chapter 391: Learned To Love
¡°Jiang Xingnan, you better not have feelings for me!¡± Sun Jiamu waved her hands frantically. She looked frightened. ¡°You¡¯re not my type.¡±
¡°Did you hear that? She isn¡¯t even interested in you.¡± Wu Jiatong smiled mockingly.
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze swept past Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure. His long eyshes formed a shadow on his face. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as I¡¯m interested in her.¡±
As Fang Xinxin was standing with Sun Jiamu, everyone assumed that he was speaking about Sun Jiamu.
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s follower, Yu Liang, shook his head by the side. ¡°Brother Nan, when did you be so...¡±
¡°The things you can¡¯t obtain are often the best,¡± Jiang Xingnan spoke arrogantly.
However, the feeling of being hurt was gradually consuming him.
He was young and had never dated before. It seemed like he was now gradually learning to love.
¡°Aiyo, what¡¯s there not to obtain?¡± Yu Liang chuckled. ¡°Brother Nan, with your abilities, wouldn¡¯t it be simple to conquer Sun Jiamu?¡±
¡°Go away!¡± Jiang Xingnan harrumphed coldly. ¡°This old man was just joking.¡±
Sun Jiamu did not wish to be pointed at. She tugged Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand and turned to leave with her.
Jiang Xingnan stood in Bai Chenxi¡¯s way. A hint of anger appeared in Bai Chenxi¡¯s seemingly refined appearance as he struggled to pursue them.
Fang Xinxin, this whore. Now that her figure had turned better, she sure was good at looking down on others.
Her face was still covered in scabs. Didn¡¯t she realise that she was ugly to the point where it was disgusting to take even an extra nce at her?
If it wasn¡¯t because Bai Qinghao only had feelings for her, would he send himself here to be humiliated by her?
After lunch, it was afternoon break.
Fang Xinxin slept on the lower bunk bed in their dormitory room, while Sun Jiamu rested on the bed above her.
Wu Jiatong, who shared a dorm room with them, stood on the balcony. She noticed the man standing under a tree on the ground floor and raised her voice. ¡°Fang Xinxin, is your mistress here to look for you again?¡±
¡°Keep your mouth clean. Whose mistress did you say he was?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s sharp ncended on her.
Her gaze was strangely painful to endure. Wu Jiatong could not help but shrink her neck. She also feared her status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e and did not dare argue. ¡°I¡¯m just joking. What are you so angry about? Didn¡¯t a handsome man visit you before lunch? He is waiting downstairs.¡±
This was the female¡¯s dormitory. There was a management auntie guarding the entrance at the ground floor.
Boys were not allowed toe in.
The reason Bai Qinghao previously managed to visit was because no one dared to stop him.
Other men were different.
¡°Don¡¯t you dare make this kind of joke again!¡± Fang Xinxin red at Wu Jiatong. ¡°Otherwise, your teeth won¡¯t be the only thing you lose.¡±
Everytime Wu Jiatong was reminded of the teeth that she had lost after crashing into the dormitory room door, she was angry. She would never have imagined that it happened because Fang Xinxin had employed her special powers.
She only knew that Bai Qinghao was very protective of Fang Xinxin and that she could not afford to offend the Bai family.
Ding!
Fang Xinxin received a message on her phone.
It was from Bai Chenxi: [If you won¡¯t see me, I¡¯ll keep waiting for you.]
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was stony. Bai Chenxi, this bastard was really clingy like a ghost! In that case, she would burn his spirit to death!
She approached the long table on their desk and poured hot water from the kettle into a bucket. She then carried the bucket to their balcony and tilted it. The hot water spilled towards Bai Chenxi, who stood on the ground floor.
Bai Chenxi had been looking at the dormitory room on the second floor. When he saw Fang Xinxining out with a bucket in her hands, he was frightened into backing away.
Thankfully, he moved fast enough and the water did not spill over his head. It only soaked the hem of his pants.
He stared at the bubbles of hot water emitting steam on the ground and eximed. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you actually poured hot water on me!¡±

¡°If you still won¡¯t get lost from here, there are ten more buckets of hot water waiting for you!¡± She left those words behind and turned to return to the room.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s handsome face nearly twisted with anger.
Sun Jiamu, whoid on the upper bunk bed, became curious. ¡°Xinxin, why is Bai Chenxi here for you?¡±
¡°What else could it be?¡± Fang Xinxin pursed her lips in disdain. ¡°He is but a leech in the Bai family. He hopes to make use of me to approach Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°It turns out that he is Bai Chenxi.¡± Wu Jiatong had previously heard Fang Manxue mention the matters between Fang Xinxin and him. ¡°Why is he looking for you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s simple. It¡¯s because I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
Wu Jiatong added with a peculiar tone. ¡°Then why did I hear that the two of you eloped previously?¡±
Fang Xinxin was not annoyed by her words. She snorted. ¡°Did you hear it from my second sister, Fang Manxue?¡±
The incident where she ¡®eloped¡¯ with Bai Chenxi was not made public.
With Wu Jiatong¡¯s status, there¡¯s no way she would have caught wind of the Bai family¡¯s matters.
Previously, this Wu woman had clung strongly onto Fang Manxue. Fang Xinxin guessed that she must have heard about it then.
¡°What about it?¡± Wu Jiatong harrumphed in disdain. ¡°Although your second sister is a hypocrite, it can¡¯t be that everything she says is false. If there really isn¡¯t anything between the two of you, would he insist on waiting to see you in school?¡±
¡°Idiot. If this old woman is rted to him in any way, would I pour boiling water on him?¡±
Wu Jiatong was left speechless.
She hated Fang Xinxin and Sun Jiamu deeply. She would be happy to watch either one of them meet with misfortune.
At the sports field not far away, a beautiful figure walked with a pair of crutches in the direction of dormitory building D1.
A female student shouted in the direction of that figure. ¡°Quickly look! The world¡¯s most capable hypocrite, the White Lotus Flower Fang Manxue is here! To think she still has the face toe to school! Whenever I look at her, I always remember what she said about enduring a hundred lifetimes to finally be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°Hahaha, at the time this old man had been deeply moved by her emotional speech.¡± Another male studentughed loudly. ¡°It turns out that she¡¯s just a delusional, imitation good!¡±
He nced at her in disdain. ¡°If Fang Manxue, this damn bitch, wasn¡¯t relying on crutches, this old man would start to beat her up!¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. She had considered that other students may wish to harm her and intentionally relied on the crutches to appear pitiful.
At the very least, no one would dare hurt her now that she looked weak.
She wanted to argue back but saw that all the students around her appeared to be furious.
Fang Manxue was frightened into taking the long way around. Everyone whom she passed by, shot her looks of disdain.
Even Bai Qinghao himself had called her shameless. Hence, these guys naturally looked down on her.
As Fang Xinxin had been working out for quite some time, she often soaked her feet in hot water no matter if it was in the afternoon.
She satfortably on the lower bunk bed and soaked her feet. When she heard themotion outside, she put on her shoes to step onto the balcony for a look.
It turned out that her second sister was here.
Fang Manxue approached the dormitory and saw that Bai Chenxi was here. She forced out a dry smile. ¡°Bai Chenxi, why are you here? You must havee looking for Xinxin.¡±
Bai Chenxi nodded slightly. ¡°There¡¯s a bit of misunderstanding between us. I hope to resolve it.¡±
¡°Xinxin is a good girl. You have to treat her well.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s tone was extremely caring.
Several students were watching them. Someone asked her out of curiosity. ¡°Are you talking about Fang Xinxin?¡±
Chapter 393: You’re Not Allowed To Let Him Down
Chapter 393: You¡¯re Not Allowed To Let Him Down
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Manxue said, ¡°I only know one person named Fang Xinxin. It¡¯s my third sister.¡±
¡°Right now, the entire school knows about your sister. Isn¡¯t she Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e? How is she rted to this man? Why did you tell him to treat your sister well...¡±
¡°This... It¡¯s not suitable for me to speak on this.¡± Fang Manxue bit on her bottom lip and appeared as though there was more she wanted to say.
¡°Pa!¡±
With this noise.
A bucket of water came spilling from above. Itnded urately on Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi, drenching them thoroughly.
The two of them raised their heads in anger and saw Fang Xinxin holding a bucket on the second storey¡¯s balcony. She grinned happily at them. ¡°Hi! The water that was used to wash thisdy¡¯s feet smells great doesn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°You!¡± Fang Manxue was thoroughly soaked. She wore a thin dress today and with one ssh, the fabric was clinging to her skinpletely.
Bai Chenxi also cut a sorry figure. In a fit of anger, he felt the urge to p Fang Xinxin, the ugly whore, to death. However, the anger only appeared on his expression for a moment. He quickly reced it with a refined and a disappointed one. ¡°Xinxin, I was in the wrong for what happened previously. I won¡¯t me you for doing this to me.¡±
His words made it seem as though she was not being sincere about treating him this way.
¡°Aiyo... there¡¯s something shady going on.¡± The crowd watching them was growing.
Fang Xinxin snorted. ¡°Shady my ass. Don¡¯t be such gossip mongers.¡±
¡°You¡¯re God Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If you let him down, you... it won¡¯t be enough even if you died ten thousand times!¡± One of the female students spoke up.
¡°Just as you said, it¡¯s only an ¡®if¡¯. I would never let Bai Qinghao down, so I won¡¯t have to die even once,¡± Fang Xinxin exined patiently.
Bai Chenxi and Fang Manxue were a pair of bastards. The more they attempted to stir everyone¡¯s suspicion and dissatisfaction, the more she would make sure that things didn¡¯t go their way.
Fang Xinxin pointed at Bai Chenxi. ¡°He is the same type of trash as Fang Manxue. Their words cannot be trusted. Also, my second sister only spoke half of her story intentionally to cause all of you to misunderstand that there¡¯s something between this drowned rat of a man and me. Aside from knowing each other when we were young, there is not a fart that exists between us. I implore everyone to consider this. My fianc¨¦ is so outstanding. Even if I were blind, I would never be taken with someone like him, ah!¡±
In her previous life, she had truly been fucking blind. She had neglected Bai Qinghao, the ultra-gigantic diamond of a God, to turn to someone like Bai Chenxi.
Her heart truly ached for her own foolishness.
Several girls sized Bai Chenxi up from the side. Although his appearance and charisma were very impressive, there was no way he couldpete with Bai Qinghao.
They all felt that Fang Xinxin made sense and nodded their heads in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s true. Fang Xinxin is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Even if she became foolish, she would never want to change her partner to someone else.¡±
¡°Xinxin, how could you say that about me...¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was hurt. He stared at her gloomily.
He refused to believe that she had had a change of heart. After all, she had admired and loved him since they were young, didn¡¯t she?
She was definitely ying hard to get.
He was certain that if he worked on her some more, she would definitely change her mind.
¡°I will look for you again.¡± Bai Chenxi left these words behind before walking away in his drenched attire.
¡°It seems like he won¡¯t give up, though?¡± One of the girls living in the same building raised her voice toward Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll employ Brother Nan¡¯s methods to wee him the next time.¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± All the girls in this building knew that Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t afraid of snakes. She immediately responded. ¡°If you¡¯re going to use a live snake, please stay away from the dormitory. We¡¯re all terribly afraid.¡±

Xinxin made an ¡®okay¡¯ gesture towards them. ¡°Alright, You guys should disperse now. Don¡¯t listen to my second sister¡¯s rubbish. She is delusional. She spends every day of her life praying that something will happen between me and some other man. This way, she¡¯ll be able to seduce Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°With her whorish, cheap figure, Bai Qinghao would never be taken with her.¡± The crowd of students downstairsughed loudly.
Fang Manxue saw that her attempts to diss Fang Xinxin¡¯s feelings for Bai Qinghao had failed. Worse, Fang Xinxin had even delivered her a blow. Herplexion turned red from anger, yet she forced an aggrieved smile. ¡°Third Sister, you¡¯ve misunderstood me...¡±
¡°Fuck off, who is your third sister!¡± Fang Xinxin held her bucket and turned to return to her room.
¡°Fang Manxue, you dared to even have thoughts about your own fucking brother-inw. It¡¯s not surprising your third sister refuses to acknowledge you.¡± The other students shot her looks of disdain and slowly dispersed.
Fang Manxue was angered to the point of trembling.
In the past, all the boys and girls in school chased after her calling her ¡®Goddess Manxue¡¯. At that time, they believed in her words wholeheartedly.
Back then, she could say anything she liked that was unpleasant towards Fang Xinxin and it used to be sufficient to drown Fang Xinxin in the public¡¯s saliva.
She did not expect this drastic change to ever happen. At this moment, everyone was biased towards Fang Xinxin.
She was angered to death!
She lowered her head and sniffed her clothes. Although her drenched clothes didn¡¯t smell much, she recalled that Fang Xinxin had used this water to wash her feet.
Fang Manxue was disgusted to the point of wanting to vomit blood. She hurried into room 202 in the building to take a shower and change her clothes.
Fang Xinxinid on the lower bunk bed in her room and was listening to Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice messages through her earphones.
[I¡¯m boarding the ne soon. You have one minute. You say something that I would like to hear.]
The man¡¯s heavy, cold voice was demanding. It carried a unique charm that could cause the masses to swoon.
She nearly became drunk listening to it.
Bai Qinghao, even his voice was so charming!
She rushed to type a message out to him: [When will you be back?]
Her heart was anxious. She was fearful that he would leave for a long time again.
Bai Qinghao sent her another voice message: [I¡¯m leaving the country for an inspection. I¡¯ll be able toe back home by 6:00 p.m. tonight. I¡¯mmanding you to speak right now!]
Displeasure was dripping from his tone.
Fang Xinxin frowned.
What did he want her to say? Something he would like to hear...
She lifted her phone and recorded a ¡®muah¡¯ sound through the microphone.
Bai Qinghao naturally understood that this was a kiss. He sent a satisfied expression back and apanied it with these words: [Wait for me!]
She responded within seconds: [Stay safe.]
He was busy with several matters everyday and often had to fly here and there. His business was never-ending.
She had gotten to chat with him, even if it was only for a few minutes. She was deeply content.
She closed her eyes and napped for thirty minutes before she was woken up by a knocking noise against her dormitory room door.
Wu Jiatong opened the door. ¡°Fang Manxue, it¡¯s you, ah.¡±
Fang Manxue smiled beautifully and turned towards Fang Xinxin¡¯s bed. ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m here to look for you.¡±
She saw that Fang Xinxin was not only no longer fat but had be extremely thin. It was as though a fire had been set aze in her heart. It hadn¡¯t been easy drugging Fang Xinxin during these past few years for her to be as fat as a pig.
To think this fat pig had sessfully lost all that weight! She was really angry!
¡°Scram.¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded her with one word. Her second sister was truly as difficult to deal with as a clingy ghost.
¡°Third Sister, I know I was in the wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Fang Manxue began apologetically. ¡°But I only did that because you like Bai Chenxi...¡±
Chapter 395: Disobedient Heart
Chapter 395: Disobedient Heart
¡°I don¡¯t like Bai Chenxi at all. Don¡¯t look at me through your whorish lens!¡±
¡°...¡±
Fang Manxue hated Fang Xinxin deeply. This cheap trash had ruined her reputation. She really wished that she could rip her skin out!
But... this wasn¡¯t the right time. She needed to look for an opportunity!
¡°No matter what, I¡¯m still your sister.¡± Fang Manxue appeared heartbroken. ¡°Can¡¯t you be more generous when your sister has made a mistake?¡±
Wu Jiatong had a previous conflict with Fang Xinxin.
Thus, she naturally spoke up for Fang Manxue. ¡°That¡¯s right, Fang Xinxin. You¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e yet you¡¯re so narrow minded. You¡¯re ruining your fianc¨¦¡¯s reputation.¡±
Fang Xinxin was not moved. ¡°Don¡¯t try and prick at my conscience! I was even ¡®worried¡¯ for our schoolmates living in poorer conditions. This indicates that I am sufficiently generous enough. Otherwise, I would never have gotten a billion dor donation for Jing Hua University.
In fact, she had never once mentioned the living conditions in the other dormitories to Bai Qinghao. Bai Qinghao had orchestrated this matter entirely by himself.
She was really thankful for his intelligence and foresight!
¡°However, I am not a foolishly kind person. If someone treats me well, I will naturally return the favour.¡± She looked at Fang Manxue with disdain. ¡°As for someone who doesn¡¯t have the right to be a human like my second sister, I will never let go of our past grievances just because of a few sweet words from her. By the way, Jiatong, didn¡¯t you spend every day ttering my second sister previously?¡±
Sun Jiamu had woken up a while ago. She yawned and sat up with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. Wu Jiatong called her ¡®Goddess Manxue¡¯ relentlessly. She even said she spoke to Goddess Manxue on my behalf so that Bai Qinghao wouldn¡¯t deal with my family¡¯s Sun Corporation. In the end, look what happened, hahaha!¡±
Wu Jiatong had clung onto the wrong thigh. She immediately escaped the room with a poor expression.
¡°I heard that Fang Manxue didn¡¯t die, and came back to school?¡± Qian Xiaohe¡¯s voice could be heard from the next door room¡¯s entrance. ¡°Didn¡¯t someone say they saw her returning to the dormitory? Why don¡¯t I see her here?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, where is she?¡± A group of girl¡¯s voices could be heard asking.
In room 202, Lou Yuna, who was previously close to Fang Manxue, said, ¡°She¡¯s trying to repair rtions with her third sister in the next door dormitory room.¡±
The rush of footsteps approaching could be heard. Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. She got up quickly and was about to close the door.
However, Qian Xiaohe brought a group of girls with her and they forced the door open. ¡°Fang Manxue, you fucking whore! To think you still have the face to return to school!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, why didn¡¯t you die?¡± Several other girls wore angry expressions on their faces.
How could Fang Manxue note? Right now, her smelly reputation was extremely prominent. Even her mother, Fang Ln¡¯s reputation was more rotten than that of a street rat.
The only thing she could rely on right now was her status as a student of Jing Hua University. A notorious name... was also a type of fame.
As long as it could be used, there was a possibility that she could overturn all of this.
Although she thought this internally, she asked the girl warmly on the surface. ¡°Xiaohe, why are you guys looking for me? Although I pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e and hurt my third sister deeply, this doesn¡¯t seem rted to you guys. Could it be that you¡¯re standing up for Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Who would stand up for her?¡± Qian Xiaohe was still upset at her failed attempt to tter Fang Xinxin previously at the school entrance. ¡°Who says you didn¡¯t affect us? If you didn¡¯t lie that you were Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, would I ask you to find me a partner? Because of you, I¡¯ve be the joke of the entire school. Everyone thinks I¡¯m a superficial person now.¡±
You were always a superficial person. Fang Manxue mocked her internally but could see that she had brought a crowd along and was worried of suffering if she offended them.
Thus, she said grievously, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a misunderstanding to form. Actually, you¡¯re a really nice girl.¡±
Chapter 396: Someone Will Be Unlucky
Chapter 396: Someone Will Be Unlucky
¡°Hmph.¡± Qian Xiaoke harrumphed coldly. ¡°Of course!¡±
Fang Manxue then turned to look at the other girls. ¡°I was in the wrong previously. Because of me, you guys... ttered the wrong person. I also wish to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t. If you guys don¡¯t mind, we can continue being friends.¡±
These girls hade intending to pick a fight with Fang Manxue and vent their anger by beating her up.
But they saw the way she held her crutches and apologised.
As the wise man says, you should never hurt someone who has admitted to their mistakes. Furthermore, this person was still injured.
Qian Xiaohe and the others reached into their pockets and brought a few pieces of paper out. They crushed them into paper balls and tossed them at Fang Manxue¡¯s face. ¡°Who would want to be friends with a whore like you? Here¡¯s your rotten signature, you can have it back!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, you hypocritical whore! If it wasn¡¯t because we thought you were the future Madam Bai, who would want your signature. Rubbish!¡±
The other girls also tossed the signature that Fang Manxue had previously given them. Then, they turned to leave.
Fang Manxue endured the humiliation and nearly gritted her teeth into smithereens.
She red angrily at Fang Xinxin, who did not look in her direction even once.
This was all her fault! One day, she would ruin her!
Lou Yuna came from the other dormitory room as though she waste intentionally. ¡°Yo, Manxue. Not bad, you actually didn¡¯t get hit.¡±
Fang Manxue nced at her. ¡°Yuna, you¡¯re my good friend, yet you came here to poke fun at me?¡±
¡°Good friend?¡± Back then, if it wasn¡¯t because she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s future fianc¨¦e, Lou Yuna would never have gotten close to her. ¡°If you treated me like a good friend, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue red viciously at Fang Xinxin.
Back then, this fat and stupid trash clearly loved Bai Chenxi deeply.
She had been on the path of gradually bing Commander Bai¡¯s actual fianc¨¦e.
She didn¡¯t know how things went so wrong. Why wouldn¡¯t Fang Xinxin admit to loving Bai Chenxi? She even changed her attitude towards Bai Qinghao drastically.
Lou Yuna approached Fang Xinxin apologetically. ¡°Xinxin, considering that we¡¯re schoolmates and neighbours, please don¡¯t take my previous wrongdoings to heart.¡±
Fang Manxue was not a generous person. Since Lou Yuna and her were no longer friends, she would not let things go her way. ¡°Lou Yuna, do you think I don¡¯t understand your thoughts? The only reason you approached me in the past was to obtain benefits from the Bai family.¡±
Lou Yuna¡¯s appetite wasn¡¯t that small. She continued speaking to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to your second sister. I don¡¯t have so many schemes.¡±
She needed to build a good rtionship with Fang Xinxin.
Her father¡¯spany, the Lou Corporation, had been doing well but recently met with a financial crisis. They had countless debtors pursuing them. This was because her mother, Kong Meixian, had spoken poorly about Fang Xinxin and offended Bai Qinghao.
This was a punishment from the Bai family.
These past few days, her father often vented his anger by hitting her mother. He said that he had married a brainless failure who ruined their family. He kept saying that her mother was blind and had offended the wrong person, causing him to be tricked into a mountain of debts.
As long as her rtionship with Fang Xinxin improved, with a wave of Bai Qinghao¡¯s hand, the Lou family¡¯s financial crisis would be resolved.
Of course, she would never let the other students know of this. Otherwise, they would definitely treat her like a joke.
¡°You¡¯re all so noisy! I can¡¯t even take an afternoon nap in peace.¡± Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to deal with these white lotuses.
She saw that there was still thirty minutes till her next ss. She stood up to leave the dormitory room.
But Lou Yuna and Fang Manxue refused to give up and chased after her.
Fang Xinxin strolled along the pathway in school and turned to re at them angrily. ¡°Stop following me!¡±
Chapter 397: Beauty Pageant
Chapter 397: Beauty Pageant
Fang Manxue rushed forward and smiled. ¡°Third Sister, I won¡¯t follow you any longer if you¡¯re willing to forgive me for pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
Yuna spoke up as well. ¡°Xinxin, I wish to be friends with you.¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed loudly and turned to leave.
Jiang Xingnan suddenly appeared before her in an unrefined manner. ¡°Yo, I was wondering who this is. It turns out that it¡¯s Ugly Fang.¡±
Fang Xinxin red at him harshly. ¡°Smelly Breath Jiang, do you think that you¡¯re very handsome?¡±
¡°This old man has always been handsome.¡± Jiang Xingnan was extremely confident of his own appearance. ¡°As for whether or not my breath stinks...¡±
He leaned close to Fang Xinxin and spoke at a volume which only she could hear. ¡°Do you want to try kissing me to find out?¡±
¡°Crazy!¡± Fang Xinxin shoved him aside and walked away.
Fang Manxue heard the nickname Jiang Xingnan had given to Fang Xinxin and felt extremely pleased but on the surface she showed a displeased expression. ¡°Brother Nan, don¡¯t give my sister such a name. She has a ¡®beautiful¡¯ soul.¡±
¡°You hypocrite.¡± Jiang Xingnan was not fooled. ¡°Your heart is much uglier than Fang Xinxin¡¯s face!¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue was stifled with anger.
She seemed to have thought of something as she stared at him with reddened eyes. ¡°Brother Nan, there aren¡¯t any grievances between us. On the day when ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯ happened, did you arrange the drone to broadcast the events inside room 201 in dormitory building D1?¡±
If it hadn¡¯t been for that drone, things wouldn¡¯t have gotten as much attention. Perhaps, Bai Qinghao wouldn¡¯t have reacted by organising such arge event. The entire mess did not only ruin her reputation, she was also beaten up till she was almost half-dead.
Even now, her body was still aching in pain.
Jiang Xingnan was a smart person. He immediately understood the point of her question. ¡°Do you hate the person who blew the matter up?¡±
Fang Manxue was suspicious. ¡°Could it be that it wasn¡¯t you?¡±
Fang Xinxin, who was a short distance away, heard their conversation. She could not help but listen closely.
Jiang Xingnan obviously wasn¡¯t the person who did it. It was her, Fang Xinxin.
However, she would never tell this to Fang Manxue.
She originally assumed that Jiang Xingnan would deny it. To her surprise, he only sneered. ¡°Does it matter if I did? This old man can do whatever he likes. It¡¯s none of your business.¡±
However, Fang Manxue was certain that he was the one who had done it. Her eyes welled up with tears. ¡°Brother Nan, are you helping Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Why would I help Fang Xinxin, the ugly woman?¡± Jiang Xingnan appeared indifferent. However, as he nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure nearby, his eyes shined.
¡°It¡¯s best if you¡¯re not helping her.¡± Fang Manxue set her heart at ease. ¡°I heard that you like Sun Jiamu. Sun Jiamu isn¡¯t a bad person. The two of you are quite a match made in heaven...¡±
¡°Shut the fuck up.¡± Jiang Xingnan raised his voice.
However, his gaze remained fixated on Fang Xinxin¡¯s back view.
Fang Manxue took in his expression and was caught up in her own thoughts.
It seemed that the person Jiang Xingnan actually liked was Fang Xinxin?
If that was the case... someone was about to be unlucky.
After returning to the ssroom, Fang Manxue yed the pity act and apologised to all her ssmates. She told them she had reflected on herself and that she should not have lied to them. Her actions quickly won her a lot of understanding.
Fang Xinxin sat quietly before her desk to read her book.
The people in ss always likedparing the two of them.
Liu Dan had feelings for Fang Manxue. Thus, he naturally spoke up for her. ¡°In fact, it¡¯s reasonable for Fang Manxue to pretend to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Who asked her to be that beautiful, and for Fang Xinxin to be that ugly?¡±
Yu Liang¡¯s heart had previously moved for Fang Xinxin. So, he immediately refuted. ¡°You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. No matter how ugly Fang Xinxin is, you can¡¯tpare her to Fang Manxue, the hypocrite!¡±
Chapter 398: Flourishing Business
Chapter 398: Flourishing Business
¡°You are lying through your teeth. Are there any men who don¡¯t value appearances? It¡¯s the in truth that Fang Xinxin is ugly!¡± Liu Dan suddenly looked curious. ¡°Doesn¡¯t Jiang Xingnan hate Fang Xinxin the most? You¡¯ve always been Brother Nan¡¯s follower, yet you¡¯re actually speaking up for someone he hates. Yu Liang, did you take the wrong medicine today?¡±
¡°W-who took the wrong medicine?¡± Yu Liang snuck a nce at Fang Xinxin.
Ever since thest time she used the cotton bud to remove the glue from his nose, he... could not help but like her a lot.
He had been paying close attention to Fang Xinxin¡¯s changes. ¡°Pay attention, guys. Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure is much better than Fang Manxue¡¯s right now. Her skin is also much fairer.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± All the ssmates appeared to have discovered something new as theymented. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Fang Xinxin¡¯s face is covered in scabs. Those are really ugly. It¡¯s a waste of her good figure and fair skin.¡±
However, Fang Manxue knew that Fang Xinxin¡¯s scabs had been there for quite some time and were about to begin falling off.
When that happened...
Fang Xinxin¡¯s face was not ugly. In fact, she was extremely beautiful!
If that had not been the case, Fang Manxue wouldn¡¯t have tampered with her skincare products.
Fang Manxue was used to suppressing Fang Xinxin with her beautiful appearance and figure.
Fang Xinxin had managed to slim down by luck, but she absolutely would not allow her skin to regain it¡¯s normal appearance!
Fang Xinxin smirked indifferently.
She would let these people speak as they please. When she finally became beautiful, she would blind them people and their superficial eyes!
At 3:00p.m. in the afternoon, Fang Xinxin¡¯s sses had ended. She called for a car and visited Qiao Yang Limited Company.
This was a gamingpany which she had previously registered. It focused on researching and developing new games.
Ever since she purchased the distribution rights for the game, Fantasy of War, from Mr. Abott, she had transferred the rights over to thispany andunched the game locally.
On the first day the game was uploaded, there were already more than a million registered yers. Now, a billion registered yers were ying the game.
As expected, things turned out as she had predicted. This game was extremely popr locally.
Mr. Abott regretted selling the distribution rights for five million dors after learning this.
Fang Xinxin felt that relying on distribution rights to earn arge sum of money was alright, but it would neverpare to running apany that could develop games and create profits in the long-term.
She had already begun advertising for new hires and inviting capable experts to independently develop their ideas.
Thepany was normally handled by the manager whom she had employed. Today, she spent three hours in the afternoon to personally interview the talents that hade to apply for a job.
By the time she took a taxi to return to the Yu Ting Vi, it was already 7:00 in the evening.
Bai Qinghao had sent her a message to say that he was already back at the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Xinxin alighted from the taxi and immediately noticed Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai loitering near the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard.
Fang Manxue¡¯s Ferrari was also parked by the side.
Fang Manxue immediately greeted her with her crutches. ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for four hours! My legs are injured and they¡¯ve already gone numb.¡±
¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Long Shuhai said, ¡°Your second sister and I have been waiting for you.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°Why are you waiting for me?¡±
Fang Manxue revealed a miserable expression. ¡°Third Sister, won¡¯t you please forgive me for my past mistakes? I was foolish momentarily. I shouldn¡¯t have pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°How long did you y the act for?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Your actions can only be ssified as a premeditated scheme and not a moment of foolishness.¡±
Chapter 399: Hao Is Here To Receive Here
Chapter 399: Hao Is Here To Receive Here
¡°The mistake has already been made.¡± Fang Manxue said sadly, ¡°Will you only forgive me when I die?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°If you die, I¡¯ll forgive you immediately.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯splexion became pale.
She deeply wished that she could eat Fang Xinxin¡¯s flesh and drain her blood!
However, her smelly reputation had now spread throughout the entire country. The only way of turning things around was by marrying Bai Qinghao and bing the actual main character.
However, she could only approach Bai Qinghao through Fang Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall, broad-shouldered figure appeared in the front yard at this moment. He was dressed in a suit and his imposing aura could not be overlooked. Fang Manxue¡¯s heart immediately began pounding loudly.
She could not conceal the love and admiration in her gaze. ¡°CEO Bai...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze did not turn to look in her direction. Instead, he was focused on Fang Xinxin. ¡°Why aren¡¯t youing in?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled at him. ¡°Did youe out to receive me?¡±
¡°En.¡± He nodded. The bodyguards guarding the door had informed him of her arrival.
That¡¯s why he came out.
When Fang Manxue heard this, her eyes reddened with jealousy.
In the past, she used to have the right to enter the Yu Ting Vi freely. It had been a matter of glory.
But now, each time she visited, the bodyguards would stop her from entering.
An hour ago, she had seen Bai Qinghao¡¯s SUV driving through the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s gates. She had waved both her hands trying to get him to stop the car.
However, it drove right past her without even a pause.
She had thought that Bai Qinghao did not see her and requested for the bodyguards to inform him that she was requesting a meeting.
However, Bai Qinghao actually instructed the bodyguards to reward her with one word ¨C ¡°No¡±.
In the past, whenever she visited Bai Qinghao to speak about Fang Xinxin¡¯s matters, he was always willing to see her.
However, her attempt failed this time.
Fang Manxue was extremely angry on the inside.
Bai Qinghao did not bother to give her a single look, yet he personally came out of the vi to receive Fang Xinxin. What rights did Fang Xinxin, the ugly woman, have!
Long Shuhai put on the attitude of an elder and began lecturing Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, how can you be this immature? Have you considered CEO Bai¡¯s status? How can you make hime out all the way to receive you? Quickly apologise to him.¡±
¡°Who are you?¡± The person who responded was Bai Qinghao.
His gaze was as sharp as an arrow. ¡°Is my fianc¨¦e someone you can lecture?¡±
Long Shuhai immediately began trembling. He was covered in cold sweat. ¡°Your status is extremely important. I simply didn¡¯t wish for Xinxin to cross the line.¡±
The truth was that he did not wish to see Bai Qinghao treating Fang Xinxin so well. His doting ought to only belong to Manxue!
Fang Manxue saw that her uncle was struggling and immediately smiled. ¡°CEO Bai, I am still Xinxin¡¯s Second Sister. It¡¯s already 7:00 in the evening and I¡¯ve spent four hours waiting for her. Do you mind if I step in for a cup of tea?¡±
As long as she entered the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s entrance and took a video inside to share with the public, everyone would know that Fang Manxue was still rted to royalty regardless of her mistakes!
Outsiders would not be able to treat her as a joke!
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she did not express her opinion.
The Yu Ting Vi was Bai Qinghao¡¯s. He was free to decide who he would allow in.
If he wanted to let Fang Manxue in, it wasn¡¯t appropriate for her to say anything.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Long Shuhai shot a look of heartache towards Fang Manxue. ¡°CEO Bai, Manxue has been waiting for four hours. It¡¯s really been tough on her. Her legs are still injured and she has to rely on crutches. She also hasn¡¯t had any dinner.¡±
Bai Qinghao suddenly realised that considering the time of Fang Xinxin¡¯s return, she also wouldn¡¯t have had dinner yet. A hint of heartache instantly appeared on his cold, handsome features.
Chapter 400: Do You Believe Me? (Part 1)
Chapter 400: Do You Believe Me? (Part 1)
Fang Manxue had been paying close attention to him. She immediately assumed that his heart was aching for her. A hint of hope appeared in her heart.
Perhaps...
She did upy some space in Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart?
If that wasn¡¯t the case, why would he have allowed her to stand by his side for so long on the stage of ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯?
As her thoughts drifted, she immediately began fighting for her own interests. She sized Fang Xinxin up. ¡°Third Sister, our ss ended at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. I came here straight from school. Where have you been for the past four hours?¡±
She then carelessly mentioned. ¡°Bai Chenxi came to look for you in school today. Could it be that...¡±
Her words implied that she had left to meet Bai Chenxi.
When Bai Qinghao heard these words, his expression immediately turned frigid cold. His anger was clearly conveyed through his aura.
Fang Xinxin took in his change in expression. It was clear that he was suspicious of her.
She was slightly heartbroken that he trusted her so little even now. She had thought that with the recent intimacy, their rtionship had already improved.
Yet, the moment Fang Manxue brought Bai Chenxi up, he became suspicious of her again.
Fang Xinxin turned around in anger and walked out of the Yu Ting Vi.
Bai Qinghao reached out to hold her elbow as he asked heavily. ¡°Where are you going?¡±
¡°Home!¡± She responded angrily.
Long Shuhai immediately spoke up. ¡°Going home is good, going home is good. Xinxin ah, your mom is especially regretful of her actions. It¡¯s all her fault that everyone misunderstood you to be unfilial. She¡¯s been crying at home everyday and waiting for you toe home...¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at him and cut him off. ¡°Shut up!¡±
Long Shuhai was frightened into trembling. He did not dare say a single word.
Fang Manxue, on the other hand, watched in amusement by the side. She knew that there wasn¡¯t any trust between Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao. It would be best if their rtionship turned sour over this fight. She would wait to reap the benefits.
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms. ¡°This is your home. Even if you wish to return, you can only return to the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
Fang Xinxin responded angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t even trust me!¡±
He furrowed his ink-ck brows and appeared confused. ¡°When did I not trust you?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°My second sister said that Bai Chenxi came to school to visit me today. Aren¡¯t you thinking that I went on a date with him earlier?¡±
¡°Did you?¡± Bai Qinghao appeared indifferent but his tone was extremely cold
She asked back coldly. ¡°What do you think?¡±
If he dared to say yes, she would definitely...
She couldn¡¯t bear to end things with him, but she would definitely give him the cold shoulder for ten days!
Ten days seemed a little too long. Perhaps, seven... or three?
¡°You would never go on a date with him.¡± Bai Qinghao held her firmly in his arms. His tone was decisive.
Whenever he recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s obvious feelings for Bai Chenxi over the past ten years, he was always insecure.
Although her recent actions clearly proved that she did not have any feelings for Bai Chenxi, he was still worried.
Bai Qinghao had never understood the concept of fear. Even losing a limb or an eye would not bring him fear. The only thing that he actually feared... was losing Fang Xinxin!
He could not ept the slightest possibility that he would lose her.
However, he was a smart person and was not foolish enough to express the insecurity he felt.
He originally nned on disciplining her, but the sight of her small, angry figure caused his heart to ache.
He dared to bet that if he said ¡®yes¡¯, she would definitely be angry with him to the point of ignoring him.
He had grown to adore her obedient, soft attitude ever since she became his.
He never wanted things to return to the way they had been before, back when she always avoided him and fought with him!
Chapter 401: Your Bed
Chapter 401: Your Bed
Fang Xinxin was held tightly by Bai Qinghao in his arms. She did not wish to struggle out of it, but gloomily responded. ¡°Since you believe in me, why did your expression turn so dark when you heard my second sister mention Bai Chenxi with my name?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just upset at your second sister for speaking nonsense.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s razor-sharp gazended on Fang Manxue.
She was instantly frightened into backing away and nearly fell down on the ground.
Although he minded Fang Xinxin¡¯s past feelings for Bai Chenxi a little, he had absolute faith in her loyalty towards him.
If Fang Manxue had not been not relying on her crutches, she would have fallen onto the ground and made for an ugly sight. ¡°CEO Bai, I only mentioned that Bai Chenxi looked for Fang Xinxin in school. I didn¡¯t say that she went on a date with Bai Chenxi. She was the one who came up with those additional words in her own head...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was freezing cold. ¡°You were clearly trying to cause a misunderstanding, yet you¡¯re still trying to argue your way out of it?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip in grievance. Her eyes were welling up with tears. ¡°I mentioned Xinxin¡¯s circumstances with good intentions. In the past, you always listened...¡±
In the past, it was because Xinxin refused to engage with him and always avoided him. Thus, he had no choice but to go through such methods to learn whatever he could about her. ¡°You¡¯re a woman full of lies. Do you think you still have the right to speak to me? Scram!¡±
¡°CEO Bai, c-can I head inside the Yu Ting Vi to rest a while before leaving?¡± Fang Manxue still refused to give up.
She had stood outside the Yu Ting Vi for four hours. She was ustomed to a wealthy lifestyle and was nearly at the end point of her exhaustion.
But she was unwilling to leave just like this.
¡°Throw these two people far away,¡± Bai Qinghaomanded before taking Fang Xinxin into the house.
The two bodyguards on their night shifts immediately lifted Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai up. Then they threw the two of them out, one by one in a perfect downwards curve.
Painful noises soon followed after.
¡°Ah!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
These were the miserable cries from Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue. They were tossed more than ten metres away and ended up rolling down several more metres.
The two bodyguards took in the distance that the bodies hadnded at, expressionlessly and felt that this was far enough.
If they had thrown them too close to the vi, they would be forsaking their own lives.
Soon after, they returned to the duty post to carry out their night shifts in appropriate stances.
Fang Xinxin was forcefully held in Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms and brought into the vi¡¯s living room.
The moment she stepped into the house, she could smell the fragrance of the dishes on the dining table.
¡°You haven¡¯t eaten?¡± Fang Xinxin took in the fancy, untouched dishes that covered the dining table.
¡°I was waiting for you.¡± His cold tone was indifferent.
However, Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She responded softly. ¡°The next time I return homete, don¡¯t wait for me. You should eat first.¡±
He had a fixed routine for his meals and sleep.
If he missed his usual timings, he would surely be starving.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes a little and watched her meaningfully. ¡°Does your heart ache for me?¡±
¡°En, en.¡± She rushed to nod her head like an obedient chick.
His cold, heavy voice revealed a hint of anger. ¡°If your heart aches for me, don¡¯t always try to leave!¡±
His expression was stony as he sat down and began eating silently.
If this had been any other day, he would have taken the initiative to feed her.
She approached and began rubbing his shoulders guiltily. ¡°My great CEO Bai, are you angry?¡±
He breathed out heavily through his nose. Even the air around him seemed to turn cold
¡°Don¡¯t be angry...¡± She stood behind his chair and held his handsome face from the back. ¡°I didn¡¯t know if you would chase me. I just wanted to throw a little tantrum.¡±
¡°What if I didn¡¯t chase you?¡±
Then I would have ran away.
Although Fang Xinxin thought this way, she did not dare to actually say so!
Chapter 402: Bed Or Window?
Chapter 402: Bed Or Window?
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s intelligence, he naturally knew of her thoughts.
However, since she did not say it, it indicated that she knew how to restrain herself. This was reason enough for him to forgive her.
His cold expression softened and his gaze turned a little heated. He pulled the seat beside him andmanded. ¡°Sit down.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She sat down obediently by his side.
Bai Qinghao lifted his bowl. He had yet to touch the food in it. He scooped a mouthful of abalone porridge into his spoon and lifted it to her lips and said sternly, ¡°Open your mouth!¡±
The row of maids behind them watched the spectacle with wide eyes.
They never expected their young master, who was usually as cold as an ice mountain, to treat Miss Fang this well.
If they could also be his fianc¨¦e, they were willing to give up thirty years of their lives.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was awkward. This was slightly embarrassing. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you don¡¯t have to feed me like I¡¯m a baby, no?¡±
¡°This is your reward.¡±
She lifted her brows. ¡°There¡¯s a reward for making you upset?¡±
In that case, she would make sure to upset him more.
He leaned in closer. She could clearly see the hidden desire in his frigid cold eyes as he whispered. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say sometime ago that you would wait for me? I¡¯ve always been diligent when ites to dealing out rewards and punishments. Since you¡¯re this obedient, it¡¯s only right that I reward you.¡±
¡°...¡± She had carelessly mentioned this, yet he treated it seriously.
Could she take those words back?
She took in his fierce features and was fearful that he would swallow her up whole if she did so.
She politely pushed the spoon towards his lips. ¡°This is your food. How can I have it? I¡¯ll serve myself another bowl.¡±
Her refusal was clear. Given his intelligence, she was sure he would understand, right?
It wasn¡¯t clear if Bai Qinghao failed to understand or if he was acting foolish. He responded in a heavy, unhappy tone. ¡°We are engaged. It is only right that we share everything. Eat!¡±
She took in the bowl of untouched food...
He had already served it for himself yet he didn¡¯t touch it.
He had been waiting to serve it to her first.
This man was always cold and ruthless towards others. All his enemies only knew to fear him. Yet, he was unbelievably doting towards her.
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved and decided to open her mouth.
The delicious food prepared by Yu Ting Vi¡¯s kitchen was especially sweet. Her entire heart was filled to the brim with this sweetness.
After finishing their meal, Fang Xinxin headed to the bedroom on the third floor first.
Bai Qinghao followed her. When he saw that she was seated on the windowsill, he immediately frowned. ¡°What are you doing? That¡¯s dangerous!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I say I would wait for you at the window?¡± [1. Bed and window are read the same way in Chinese, ¡®chuang¡¯, though with different intonations.]
She smiled beautifully. ¡°A person should keep their word. I wasn¡¯t lying.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his stony expression instantly turned a little enraged. ¡°Fang Xinxin, your Chinese is very good. I heard it clearly. I would know if you actually said ¡®bed¡¯ or ¡®window¡¯!¡±
¡°I said window...¡± She insisted.
¡°Come down!¡± He waved his hand. His tone was demanding and firm. He refused to ept any arguments.
¡°I refuse to.¡± She was afraid that he would push her down the instant she did so...
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure approached her side. He lifted her with one arm and wrapped his other hand around her elbow.
Fang Xinxin held onto the window frame and refused to let go. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
A hint of rage appeared in his gaze. ¡°No one is allowed to fool me!¡±
Chapter 403: Embarrassing Moment
Chapter 403: Embarrassing Moment
Fang Xinxin felt the urge to cry. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m not trying to fool you. My great-aunt hasn¡¯t left yet...¡±
He frowned deeply. His heavy, cold gaze was suspicious. ¡°It¡¯s been quite a few days and it¡¯s still here?¡±
¡°It¡¯s taking a little longer this time.¡± She responded awkwardly. ¡°I was too fat previously. At the time, my period came very infrequently. It often took several months to show up. Now that I¡¯ve slimmed down, it¡¯ssting longer than it used to...¡±
She lowered her head in embarrassment.
She originally assumed he would be upset. To her surprise, a hint of concern appeared in his ink-ck gaze. He asked her in worry. ¡°Are you alright? Should I call a for a doctor?¡±
Doctor Shi was a man and it wasn¡¯t very suitable to call for him. He would have to arrange for a female doctor.
¡°It¡¯s alright. I already visited the hospital.¡± Truthfully, her hospital check-up had urred in her previous life. She rushed to continue. ¡°It¡¯s because I was too fat previously. Now that I¡¯ve lost the excess weight, I¡¯m fine now.¡±
¡°Ok then.¡± After hearing her exnation, he did not insist.
He reached out hisrge palm and gently touched her scab-covered face.
His gaze was heavy with desire as he stared straight into her bright, sparkling gaze.
Her eyes were especially beautiful. They were clean, open and always seemed to be shining. Even when he only took a simple nce at her, her gaze would draw him in.
Fang Xinxin took in his masculine and handsome features. He was really damn attractive!
Furthermore, he possessed a cold and unique aura. Almost every girl would be weak against him.
Fang Xinxin was not an exception.
If only her damn great-aunt had left! Only god knows how flustered she really was!
She simrly lifted her small, fair hand and caressed his face. She felt that ever since she had lost weight, her fingers appeared especially thin and slender. Whenever she moved her hands, her movements would appear especially graceful.
Graceful to the point where she was nearly drunk on self-love.
She continued touching her idol¡¯s face. She had yet to get her fill of him.
They were focused on each other...
She watched as his hand suddenly turned stiff against her skin.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She nced at his palm...
Her expression immediately turned distressed!
A small scab on her face had actually fallen into his palm.
¡°Ah!¡± She was embarrassed to the point of wanting to die.
He simrly did not expect this. He exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t pick at your skin. It came off on its own.¡±
!!
To think this could happen when he was just touching her face. She cursed silently in her head.
How was she supposed to maintain her perfect image in front of her idol?¡±
¡°I know.¡± She waspletely embarrassed.
He held the piece of scab between his thumb and index finger and carefully took it in.
¡°What¡¯s there to look at?¡± Her gaze was cold.
He did not continue staring at it. He held the piece of scab as his body turned stiff.
He ced her down on a chair.
If they stayed in the same room any longer, he was afraid he would lose control...
Thus, he expressionlessly told her, ¡°I¡¯m going to the study to do some work. I¡¯lle backter.¡±
¡°Oh!¡± She nodded.
She stared at his tall, broad-shouldered back view.
He was running so quickly. Could it be that he was disgusted by the thing that fell off her face?
This thought caused her expression to darken.
Bai Qinghao approached the door and suddenly stopped. ¡°Don¡¯t forget, when this passes, you¡¯ll have to double mypensation!¡±
If he was saying this, there was no way he found her disgusting. She smiled brightly and responded in a sweet voice. ¡°Alright.¡±
She didn¡¯t just owe him a little.
When the time finally came, she would definitely sleep with him to her heart¡¯s content!
She watched as he left the bedroom before suddenly running up to him. ¡°Wait!¡±
Chapter 404: Is Hao Afraid Of Ghosts?
Chapter 404: Is Hao Afraid Of Ghosts?
He turned back with questioning eyes.
¡°Um...¡± Sheughed cheekily and rubbed her hands together before stretching one palm out towards him. ¡°Give it to me.¡±
¡°How many billions?¡± He brought out a cheque book from his pocket and got ready to fill it in for her.
¡°Billions of what?¡± She blinked her eyes innocently.
¡°Nonsense, of course it¡¯s money.¡± He nced at her coldly.
He thought she was asking for money?
Fuck! This was a serious misunderstanding!
Wasn¡¯t he being too extravagant? He nned to give her sums of billions? Was he too impatient to deal with millions?
She especially liked big bosses who were this cultured.
¡°Who said I was asking you for money?¡± She was deeply moved, but forced him to keep the cheque book away. ¡°Um... I¡¯m asking for the piece of scab that came off my face earlier.¡±
Her eyes were sharp and she had noticed him holding it in his palm.
He furrowed his ink-ck brows. ¡°I can¡¯t give it to you.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± She was slightly angry. ¡°It came off when you touched my face. Don¡¯t you find it disgusting and gross?¡±
¡°No.¡± His cold, heavy voice was decisive.
¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± She reached out to snatch it. ¡°Quickly, hand it over.¡±
The thought that he was holding onto her scab left her scalp feeling numb. She felt that her image was almost entirely ruined.
¡°It fell into my hands, so it¡¯s mine now.¡± His cold, frigid gaze watched her meaningfully.
I would like to carry a piece of you with me at all times, even if it¡¯s only a bit of your skin.
She struggled to understand his insistence. ¡°Forget it, do as you like then.¡±
She waved her hand generously.
Considering that he was willing to offer her cheques that started from billions, she would ¡®gift¡¯ this disgusting scab to him generously.
Bai Qinghao sat down in front of his study table and pulled open a drawer. He found a small, transparent pill box around the size of his thumb and ced the piece of scab in it.
He admired it for a moment before cing it into his pocket in contentment.
Inside the bedroom, Fang Xinxin noticed that a European style vanity had been added next to the luxurious table.
She called Butler Zhao over. ¡°Is this for me?¡±
¡°Responding to Miss Fang, Young Master instructed for this to be bought. He said that this would make living here more convenient for you. The make-up and skin care products on the vanity were also prepared for you by the Young Master.¡±
Fang Xinxin was extremely moved.
She knew from her previous life that he was a tough man to his core. He disliked cing these sort of feminine items in his own room.
She did not expect him to take the initiative to do this.
¡°You can leave now.¡± She waved her hand.
Butler Zhao nced at her face with a strange look before backing away respectfully.
Fang Xinxin sat before her vanity in a sleeping gown. She thenbed through her long hair slowly.
All of a sudden, her gazended on her own reflection. She nearly cried out in shock.
All of her scabs had hardened and were on the verge of falling off.
She touched her face and a few pieces of scabs immediately fell.
Countless scabs were beginning to fall. Her reflection was something right out of a horror film. It made it difficult for one to look directly at her.
She turned the ceiling lights off and only left the faint, orange bedsidemp lit.
She took another look at herself. The reflection was that of a legit ¡®female ghost¡¯ who didn¡¯t need any cosmetics!
Fang Xinxin was amazed by the fact that she wouldn¡¯t look out of ce in a horror film.
It was no wonder that the usually stony Butler Zhao also could not help looking at her face strangely sometime ago.
Chapter 405: You’re Still Not Pushing Me Down?
Chapter 405: You¡¯re Still Not Pushing Me Down?
The sight of her was ridiculously frightening!
She wondered if Bai Qinghao was afraid of ghosts?
Fang Xinxin smiled mischievously and approached the closet. She put on a long, whitece sleep gown and brought her hair down. She pushed her hair forward so that it covered her face the way it would in a horror film.
She nced at the mirror through the gaps of her hair. Underneath the yellow light...
She appeared exactly like a frightening female ghost who had just climbed out of the mirror.
If she could add some background music, the effects would definitely be stronger.
Suddenly, she heard firm footsteps approaching the room.
Based on the sound, she was certain it was Bai Qinghao.
She immediately brought her phone out and searched for a frightening background music on her music application.
The rming noise of a female ghost started ying on her phone. ¡°Ahhh...¡±
Fang Xinxin sat in front of the mirror. As expected, Bai Qinghao entered the room.
She sat unmoving like a ghost before the mirror.
The music reverberated through the dark room. Anyone would be frightened to death.
Even though she was acting, she felt her own goosebumps rising.
But Bai Qinghao appeared not to have seen anything. He walked past her side and tugged open the bedside drawer to retrieve a fountain pen.
Was he blind?
She was waiting to startle him. Yet, to her surprise, he was ignoring her?
Fang Xinxin sat up slowly. She curled her hands like ws and moved stiffly with her feet syed outwards like that of a malicious ghost¡¯s. She stood before him and was about to push him down.
Bai Qinghao straightened his body and was expressionless as he sized her up.
Fang Xinxin saw that he was not moving and hesitated to push him down. What if she actually frightened him?
Bai Qinghao waited for a few minutes. When he saw that she still wasn¡¯t moving, he asked softly with impatience. ¡°What are you still waiting for?¡±
He was waiting for her to enter his arms so that he could squeeze her to death!
Although it was inconvenient right now, he could still manage a hug or two.
Fang Xinxin faltered. She pushed her hair back and revealed her ugly, uneven skin. She asked gloomily. ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of ghosts?¡±
Bai Qinghao asked her in amusement. ¡°What do you think?¡±
Sobs!
At this moment, a knocking noise could be heard at the door.
Liu Li stepped in and said, ¡°Madam, are you trying to frighten Boss by pretending to be a ghost? You¡¯re really too childish. With our Boss¡¯s aura and ability, even a real ghost would choose to run away from him. Once, a spy stole a set of ssified documents from the Bai family and hid in a famous haunted house nearby. At the time, eight people had already died in the haunted house. No one dared to step into the ce. It was frightening even in the daytime. Yet, Boss charged in at midnight and directly caught that person alive.¡±
He nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s frightening appearance. ¡°However, though Boss isn¡¯t afraid of ghosts, I am...¡±
Miss Fang¡¯s face was really more terrifying than that of a ghost¡¯s. However, this time, he did not dare to say it out loud.
¡°Liu Li, don¡¯t bring up your superstitious beliefs.¡± Bai Qinghaomanded sternly.
¡°Yes, sir!¡± Liu Li immediately lowered his head respectfully.
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to keep up with her act any longer.
She nced at Bai Qinghao¡¯s powerful figure. His aura was intimidating and there was no doubt that he was ced way high on the food chain.
This man was of actual, imperial lineage. She was certain that any ghosts or demons that dared to approach him would only be asking for death.
Although she had been reborn, and was even an atheist, she had never met a ghost before.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gazended on Liu Li. He asked unhappily. ¡°What are you doing here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to take a leave?¡±
¡°Doctor Shi instructed me to bring Miss Fang a bag of sweets.¡±
Chapter 406: Hao Came Back For A Fountain Pen?
Chapter 406: Hao Came Back For A Fountain Pen?
Liu Li handed arge box of sweets to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Fang, Doctor Shi used up the entire money that you gave him to buy sweets. He couldn¡¯t finish them all, so he shared it with everyone. He asked me to send some to you as well.¡±
Fang Xinxin was astonished. ¡°He spent it all on sweets?¡±
¡°Boss instructed him to buy sweets. He would be forfeiting his life if he did not do so. Of course he followed his orders.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin was speechless.
She finally understood the point. Bai Qinghao¡¯s words were akin to that of an imperial decree.
¡°I won¡¯t disturb the two of you any longer.¡± Liu Li turned to leave.
After taking a step, he nced back. ¡°Madam, why didn¡¯t you mock me?¡±
Considering that his current appearance was horrifying, she actually did not use the opportunity to take her revenge?
Fang Xinxin nced at Liu Li¡¯s swollen figure and the thinyer of green medication on his skin. He appeared even more like a ghost than she did. ¡°What¡¯s there tough at? Everyone pursues beauty. I¡¯m not like someone else who iscking in morals. I won¡¯t casually step on someone¡¯s sore spot without a good reason.¡±
Liu Li was covered in sweat after hearing her words.
In the past, he often mocked her for being ugly and fat. At the time, he had been especially unkind.
Clearly, the person she was describing was him.
Liu Li hung his swollen head guiltily and walked away.
Bai Qinghao stood in the room and waved towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Come here!¡±
She jumped into his arms like a ghost and said gloomily, ¡°Bai Qinghao, you actually aren¡¯t frightened by my horrifying appearance...¡±
He wrapped his arms around her slender figure and found it to be especially small. He held the back of her small head with his palm. ¡°Silly, no matter if you¡¯re dead or alive, you¡¯ll always be my woman. What¡¯s there for me to be afraid of my own woman?¡±
She lifted her head and watched him. ¡°What if I really die one day?¡±
If she was foolish enough to lose her sight and be paralysed once more.
She would prefer to end her own life.
A hint of unhappiness appeared on his face. He sternlymanded her. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to spout nonsense!¡±
¡°Life is unpredictable. I¡¯m just talking about a ¡®what-if¡¯ scenario!¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll die with you.¡± He was expressionless and his features were grave and stern. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, before I die, I definitely won¡¯t allow you to die!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao!¡± She was moved into holding his waist tightly.
She felt the urge to cry.
In her previous life, he had fulfilled this promise.
In this life, she would alter their fates. She would not allow herself to hold him back any longer.
She would live on well, and she absolutely would not let him die either.
His jawline was rigid as he spoke in heartache. ¡°Alright. You¡¯re a grown woman. Don¡¯t cry, ok?¡±
¡°Who is crying?¡± She refused to admit it. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to the study room? Why did youe back?¡±
He showed her the fountain pen that he was holding. ¡°I came to take a pen.¡±
A hint of confusion appeared in her bright eyes. ¡°But, aren¡¯t there several more in your study?¡±
He would never admit that he specially came here to take a nce at her. He was expressionless as he casually found an excuse. ¡°This is better.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± She took the fountain pen from him. ¡°Although this fountain pen is expensive, it isn¡¯t any different from the ones in your study.¡±
She blinked at him flirtatiously. ¡°Handsome, could it be that you came here specially just to see me?¡±
¡°Cough!¡± He cleared his throat and maintained a cold expression. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±
He quickly walked out of the bedroom and left an unbelievably charming backview for her to watch.
¡°Eh...¡± She lifted the fountain pen in her hand. Didn¡¯t he say that this pen was good, and that he came specifically for it?
Chapter 407: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 1)
Chapter 407: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 1)
Why was it in her hands? He was leaving without it?
A love-struck smile appeared on her face.
She was certain that this man hade to see her.
That night, Bai Qinghao left in a hurry to deal with urgent matters from the Bai family.
Fang Xinxin tossed and turned across therge bed. She could not help but feel as though something was missing.
It was only when she was exhausted that she realised that she was missing Bai Qinghao, the firm and dependable pillow.
The next morning, the birds chirped noisily outside the windows.
The morning sunlight peeked in through the balcony and added a hint of warmth to the extravagant bedroom.
Fang Xinxin stretched her body and lifted her hand to her face casually. She realised that most of the uneven scabs were gone. Her skin had also be smoother.
She immediately sat up.
Most of the scabs had fallen naturally onto the bed.
She tended to move a lot in her sleep and had ended up rubbing her face against the sheets. Thus, all the scabs which had been on the brink of falling off, were finally gone.
She did not pause to put on her slippers and rushed towards the vanity. She immediately took in her own reflection.
Fuck!
What was she looking at?
The ugly woman who was usually covered in scabs was no longer here.
Through the reflection, she could see that her five features were perfect. Her nose was thin and sharp, her brows were slightly curved, her eyes were bright and clear and her skin appeared to be especially soft and glowy.
Furthermore, she had lost a lot of weight. Her chest was curvy and her waist was thin. Her legs were also long and slender. All in all, her figure was absolutely perfect!
She was utterly stunning regardless of the angle.
She stood on the weighing scale in the corner of the room. She now only weighed 45 kilograms. Considering that she had a height of 1.67 metres, her diet was aplete sess. Hooray!
She wondered how Bai Qinghao would react if he saw her attractive appearance and perfect figure?
She would blind those people who criticised her for being ugly everyday!
Unfortunately, the only imperfection was that the scabs had fallen off to reveal some red scars.
She ran towards the en suite living room and opened the wine cab. She reached for therge bottle of medicine that Doctor Shi had prescribed and used the spoon she had prepared earlier to scoop two dollops of it. She then spread it evenly on her skin like a thin mask.
After using this for a few days, all the red marks wouldpletely disappear.
The wine cab was used to store extremely expensive alcohols.
The reason she kept the medicine in the cab was because she treasured it dearly.
¡°Lla...l...¡± She hummed happily as she applied the medicine on her skin.
Butler Zhao noticed the noise from outside and knocked on the door. ¡°Miss Fang, are you awake?¡±
¡°Come in.¡±
Zhao Cheng stepped in to see that Fang Xinxin had applied ayer of something yellow on her skin. Only her eyes, nose and lips were revealed. He faltered for a moment.
He then continued expressionlessly, ¡°Breakfast has been prepared.¡±
¡°Thank you for the trouble.¡± She smiled joyfully.
¡°You appear to be in a good mood?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°My diet was a sess. I don¡¯t have to lose any more weight. All I have to do is to maintain my current weight.¡±
¡°Congrattions, Miss Fang.¡± When Zhao Cheng heard this, he brought his phone out and made a call. ¡°You can send it here now.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not ask any questions.
After all, he was an extremely busy butler. Perhaps he was instructing the helpers to bring in the ingredients they bought today?
The Yu Ting Vi had countless maids and bodyguards. The amount of food everyone consumed was surely enormous.
Fang Xinxin headed downstairs and had her breakfast. Suddenly, she heard the loud noise of several cars driving into the front yard.
Chapter 408: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 2)
Chapter 408: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 2)
She did not pay much attention to it though. The bodyguards often left in a hurry. She had grown used to hearing these noises.
It was only when she stepped out of the vi that she realised there was an entire row of luxury-branded cars in the front yard. Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Buggati, Veyron...
There was one car from every brand. In all, there were one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Ten brand new cars sat there gleaming and new!
After the cars were parked in a neat row, a driver alighted from every car. They were all bodyguards dressed in formal suits.
A row of maids stood outside the doors and bowed politely towards her. ¡°Miss Fang!¡±
Butler Zhao then made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Fang, please take a look. Which car do you prefer?¡±
Fang Xinxin was blinded by the cars. It took her a moment to respond. ¡°Is one of them for me?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Before Fang Xinxin could think any further, Butler Zhao continued. ¡°Young Master bought all of these cars for you. In fact, he ordered them for you quite some time ago. However, you were in the midst of losing weight at the time. As he did not know which brand you preferred, he selected one from every brand that he found to be suitable. The cars have been stored at the shop the entire time. Didn¡¯t you mention that your diet was a sess? Thus, I had the cars brought over.¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly understood. It turned out that when Butler Zhao instructed his subordinates to ¡®send it over¡¯, he was referring to the cars that Bai Qinghao had bought and not the ingredients he needed?
She felt deeply moved.
She never expected that one day, she would step out of the Yu Ting Vi after a meal to be blinded by ten luxury-branded cars.
And they were gifts from the man she loved the most!
Right after, Bai Qinghao alighted from the SUV that he usually took. His footsteps were firm and he made for an imposing sight. His aura was that of a man born to be a ruler!
The moment Fang Xinxin saw him, she was immediately charmed. She ran towards him and wanted to jump straight into his arms.
When she was still five steps away from him, the bodyguard by his side suddenly stopped her by stretching his arm out. ¡°Miss, you are not allowed to approach Boss.¡±
Fang Xinxin halted. ¡°Not even me?¡±
¡°It turns out that you¡¯re Miss Fang.¡± The bodyguard backed away respectfully. ¡°You may. My apologies. There¡¯s something on your skin... This subordinate did not recognise you in time.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Fang Xinxin was in a good mood.
She continued with a smile. ¡°The next time there are other women who try to approach Bai Qinghao, you have to help me keep them away as well.¡±
¡°This...¡±
The bodyguard hesitated. After all, the reason he did not keep Fang Xinxin away was due to his boss¡¯s orders.
If other women simrly received Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders, he would not dare to keep them away.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips curved. Hemanded the man heavily. ¡°Do it.¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± The bodyguard responded politely.
Fang Xinxin was overjoyed. This was great. This way, every woman who tried to approach her man would be stopped.
Bai Qinghao came to her side and brought her into his arms firmly. He lowered his head. ¡°You seem to be in a good mood today.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± She was extremely pleased.
This was because she had sessfully regained her beautiful appearance. Her diet was also a sess.
¡°You don¡¯t have to lose any more weight, do you?¡± He said with some heartache, ¡°From now onwards, don¡¯t walk to school anymore. Drive.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t lose any more weight. I¡¯ll take the car.¡± She agreed.
At the same time, her heart ached for his money. ¡°Why did you buy me so many cars? These cars must have cost at least several hundred thousand dors each. That Bugatti is the most expensive. It must be worth at least twenty five million dors...¡±
Chapter 409: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 3)
Chapter 409: A Luxurious Gift Of Ten Cars (Part 3)
¡°I have a lot of money.¡± He responded expressionlessly. ¡°Help me spend some.¡±
The row of maids standing by the side watched them with pink hearts in their eyes.
They cried out internally that they were also willing to help him spend some.
However, they clearly knew that if they verbalised their thoughts, Butler Zhao would toss them out of Yu Ting Vi before the Young Master could say a word.
After all, the Yu Ting had no use for maids who could not abide by the rules. The only person who could be the target of Young Master¡¯s affections was Miss Fang.
Fang Xinxin felt as though her heart space was filled with heart-shaped bubbles. She looked at Bai Qinghao with hesitation. ¡°But, these cars are really expensive...¡±
They were expensive to the point where she nearly could not ept them.
¡°Don¡¯t pay any attention to that.¡± He responded coldly. ¡°All you have to do is to tell me if you like them.¡±
¡°I do, I like them all!¡± She embraced him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, could you try not to treat me so well?¡±
He caressed her hair dotingly. His heavy, cold voice was filled with his love for her. ¡°Silly. You are my woman. If I don¡¯t treat you well, who should I be treating well?¡±
It¡¯s really too blissful being your woman.
Blissful to the point where she felt like she was in heaven.
She sniffled as her tears nearly escaped her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t buy so many cars for me again. I only need one. I can also take yours.¡±
He frowned. Different cars offered a different driving experience.
He wanted her to have more cars.
¡°Will you promise me? I¡¯ll be angry if you don¡¯t!¡± If he brought another batch of cars the next time she wanted a new one, her heart would ache to death for his wallet.
He did not wish for her to be upset and could only nod stiffly. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll apany you for a test drive. Which one do you want to try?¡±
The limited edition Bugatti. This car was newly released and cost 25 million dors!
Although Fang Xinxin felt this way internally, she selected the cheapest M760Li xDrive. She knew that the official price for this car was five hundred thousand dors.
She was afraid that if she chose the most expensive car, Bai Qinghao would buy her something even more expensive in the future.
She had an especially wealthy fianc¨¦ and he treated her too well. Even the idea of saving money was bing a reason for her headache.
Fang Xinxin ran towards the M760 in excitement and climbed into the driver¡¯s seat.
Bai Qinghao sat by her side and watched her with some confusion. ¡°Xinxin, do you know how to drive?¡±
Based on what he understood, she did not possess a driving license nor did she know how to drive.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s hands stiffened against the steering wheel.
She did not learn to drive while she was in the Fang home.
In her previous life, he had specially hired a driving coach for her after she married him. She also learned many other things.
Thus, she did own a driver¡¯s license.
It was just that she had yet to obtain it at this time.
She could not admit that this was her second life. She could only shake her head. ¡°I don¡¯t.¡±
His gaze remained suspicious.
She could only add on. ¡°I was too excited and wanted to touch the steering wheel.¡±
Her reason was too awkward. Bai Qinghao did not believe her but he did not ask further.
She felt her headache returning as she grumbled. ¡°You say, I don¡¯t even know how to drive. Why did you suddenly buy ten cars for me?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gazended on the ten bodyguards who had alighted from the cars. ¡°They are the chauffeurs I¡¯ve arranged for you.¡± Furthermore, they had all been trained and could ensure her safety.
¡°Why would I need so many chauffeurs?¡± She responded. ¡°One will do. I can only take one car at a time.¡±
Chapter 410: He Will Do
Chapter 410: He Will Do
Fang Xinxin pointed at the bodyguard who had stopped her earlier. ¡°Him. He will do.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern gazended on that bodyguard. Hemanded coldly. ¡°In the future, you¡¯ll be in-charge of being Xinxin¡¯s chauffeur.¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± That bodyguard approached the driver¡¯s seat and bowed respectfully to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Tong Yu is reporting to Miss Fang.¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly realised something. She rushed to tell Bai Qinghao. ¡°He has to help me to keep women away from you. It¡¯s better if you keep him by your side and arrange someone else to be my chauffeur.¡±
Her jealous behaviour filled Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold heart with joy. ¡°The orders I¡¯ve given will be fulfilled by all of my bodyguards. It won¡¯t be just him. Let him be your chauffeur.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± She nodded.
Although Tong Yu¡¯a appearance was normal, she was quite satisfied with him.
Bai Qinghao leaned against her body and whispered into her ear. ¡°What is it, are you afraid I¡¯ll be stolen from you by some other women?¡±
She waved her hand. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m not afraid.¡±
After all, in their previous life, he never touched another woman even till the day he died.
It was just that he was far too outstanding. There were too many women interested in him.
It was a good thing to have his bodyguards keep them away.
He frowned unhappily as his expression turned cold. ¡°You don¡¯t care for me again?¡±
She leaned in and held his face, pursing her lips to press a kiss on his forehead as a reward. ¡°I do.¡±
After being kissed, all the iciness in his expression disappeared. His stern features also appeared much softer. ¡°You can only keep me in your heart. Do you understand?¡±
¡°I do,¡± she responded while thinking internally that his jealousy sure was strong.
Fang Xinxin dearly wished that she could drive. However, this was not the right moment and she could only alight the car helplessly.
She did not move to the backseat. Instead, she sat in the co-driver¡¯s seat on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp. As shezed in her man¡¯s embrace, she felt especiallyfortable and at ease.
Bai Qinghao shot Tong Yu a look, and Tong Yu immediately took the driver¡¯s seat and drove them out of the Yu Ting Vi.
Perhaps it was because all of Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates were well-trained, but Tong Yu drove very quickly.
Fang Xinxin noticed that the speed limit was 60 kilometres per hour.
This man was driving at nearly 100 kilometres per hour.
¡°Car te number XXX88, please stop by the side!¡± A police car behind them activated their sirens.
Tong Yu appeared not to have heard anything. But Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°Stop by the side.¡±
Tong Yu¡¯s gaze shifted onto Bai Qinghao questioningly. He watched as his boss nodded before finally stopping the car.
A traffic police officer approached the driver¡¯s seat and firmly requested. ¡°Please provide your identity card and driver¡¯s license.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need, is there?¡± Tong Yu spoke up.
His great boss was in the car yet the traffic police officer was requesting for his identity card? Did he not wish to live any longer?
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± The police officer could not see the person in the other seat. ¡°I¡¯m repeating once more. Please hand over your identity card and driver¡¯s license.¡±
Tong Yu handed it over.
After the police officer received it, he immediately wrote a fine. ¡°You were above the speed limit by thirty kilometres. You will receive a fifty dors fine and six demerit points. Remember to pay your fine at the bank when you¡¯re free.¡±
¡°This...¡± Tong Yu nced at his boss, who was seated next to him.
When he saw that Bai Qinghao did not appear interested in speaking up, he allowed the police officer to do as he pleased.
It was still better to drive his boss¡¯s car. The entire country knew of his existence. No matter what, no one would dare to stop them.
The police officer lowered his head and finally noticed that there were actually two people seated on the co-driver¡¯s seat. The girl was even frivolously seated on the man¡¯sp.
As Fang Xinxin¡¯s face was covered in medicine, he could not see her appearance clearly.
Chapter 411: His Face
Chapter 411: His Face
Fang Xinxin¡¯s body was right on top of Bai Qinghao, and the police officer was unable to get a clear look at his face.
He continued scolding. ¡°Only one person can be seated in the co-driver¡¯s seat at all times. Are the two of you trying to be romantic by upying the seat together? Don¡¯t you know that this is dangerous? I¡¯m giving you another three demerit points and an extra fine of fifty dors!¡±
¡°Sir, do you have to go that far?¡± Tong Yu¡¯s heart did not ache for the fine.
After all, he would be reimbursed for the fines incurred in Fang Xinxin¡¯s car.
The demerit points could also be easily settled once he spoke to the higher-ups.
It was just that there were no benefits for the traffic police for penalising such an influential figure.
The traffic police officer smiled coldly. ¡°You¡¯re not abiding by the traffic rules yet you have so many excuses. The people in the co-driver¡¯s seat, alight immediately for a spot check!¡±
¡°This...¡± Tong Yu wanted to continue speaking.
However, Fang Xinxin had already alighted the car. She took the initiative to offer her identity card to the officer. ¡°Sir, my apologies. My fianc¨¦ just bought me a new car. We were too excited and made a mistake.¡±
Normally, she always abided by traffic rules.
Bai Qinghao usually did the same. However, Fang Xinxin had taken the initiative to sit on hisp today and he could not find it in him to let go. Thus, things turned out this way.
The police officer nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s identity card and took in her medicine-covered face. Her appearance could not be clearly seen. ¡°You¡¯re Fang Xinxin? The one from Jing Hua University, Year 2, ss Three?¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared excited. ¡°Uncle, you recognise me?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve been on the news so frequently. How could I possibly not?¡± The police officer responded. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell with the things you¡¯ve applied on your face. But your name is written on your identity card.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
The police officer suddenly realised something. Fang Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and she had been sitting on the man who was in the co-driver¡¯s seat.
Furthermore, the chauffeur also clearly appeared to be a well-trained man.
He asked in a trembling voice. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that the person in the co-driver¡¯s seat is...¡±
As expected, Bai Qinghao, who was dressed in a well-fitted suit, alighted. His aura was powerful and suppressive.
This was someone akin to the country¡¯s emperor. The police officer seemed to be overwhelmed with excitement as he began shivering. ¡°C... CEO Bai!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s icy sharp gazended on him. His voice carried the power of a natural-born leader. ¡°Do you need me to bring out my identity card?¡±
¡°N-no!¡± The police officer held an expression of admiration. ¡°Your face itself is an identity card!¡±
He suddenly realised that he had just issued two fines to the emperor¡¯s subordinate. Was he doomed now?
Bai Qinghao nced at him coldly. His voice did not contain the slightest hint of warmth. ¡°Which team are you from? What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°My name is Wei Youan, from Di Shu Imperial Police Station, Department XX, Team XX...¡± He thought to himself that he was finished. He would likely be fired by tomorrow.
Bai Qinghao indeed nned on disciplining him. Regardless of whether he had done it intentionally, this man had offended him. Hence, he would have to shoulder the consequences.
Fang Xinxin noticed that something was amiss. She immediately said, ¡°Qinghao, why are you asking about this? He is carrying out his responsibilities and upholding thew. It¡¯s what he should be doing.¡±
¡°Miss Fang is wise.¡± Wei Youan was nearly in tears.
He trembled as he spoke to Bai Qinghao, ¡°I really didn¡¯t know that you were the one in the car. Please forgive me.¡±
If he had known, he would never have dared to stop them.
¡°Qinghua...¡± Fang Xinxin held Bai Qinghao¡¯s hand and swayed it left and right.
The warmth from her small hands slowly seeped into his cold heart. Although he appeared to be expressionless, his eyes were shining.
Fang Xinxin was helpless and could only bring out the honey trap. She stood on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss on his forehead.
Although there weren¡¯t many people in the neighbourhood, a small crowd had formed around.
Bai Qinghao was dazed for a moment.
She actually kissed him in public?
In the past, she always maintained as much distance as she could between the two of them. His heart was moved and all the anger from being disturbed, dissipated. However, he remained expressionless on the surface. ¡°Wei Youan, you¡¯ll be promoted tomorrow!¡±
Chapter 412: Making Time To Be With You
Chapter 412: Making Time To Be With You
Wei Youan was dumbstruck for several seconds. He had offended the emperor himself. Wasn¡¯t he doomed?
How did he suddenly obtain a promotion? His ability was rathercking and it was more than ten years since he wasst promoted.
To think he was promoted. This was amazing!
His gazended on Fang Xinxin and he quickly understood that it was the effect of her earlier kiss.
In the past, he had seen people using simr tactics. But this was his first time seeing someone as ugly as Fang Xinxin seed with this method.
Although right now, he couldn¡¯t see past the things she had applied on her skin, he could recall her ugly appearance from when he saw her on television.
Wei Youan sighed. ¡°Miss Fang, your... heart is beautiful.¡±
Fang Xinxin was confused. Why was she suddenly praised?
Wei Youan was an insightful man. He understood that Bai Qinghao was giving face to Fang Xinxin. He said, ¡°Thank you for your consideration earlier.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Fang Xinxin understood his meaning this time. She guessed that he had seen her appearance on television.
She also understood that he was sincerely praising her.
The passer-bys however, were confused. ¡°Police Officer Wei, you¡¯re amazing! You actually dared to stop the emperor¡¯s car!¡±
¡°Your courage is out of this world. I think, in the entire city, you would be the only person with the guts to do so!¡±
Wei Youan was praised to the heavens. He could onlyugh sheepishly. ¡°I was merely doing my job.¡± He couldn¡¯t possibly admit that he didn¡¯t know Bai Qinghao was in the car, right?
¡°I thought Sir Wei was doomed. I didn¡¯t expect him to be promoted. Bai Qinghao is truly a fair man. He broke the rules and gracefully epted the punishment to act as a model for the public. I have to learn more from God Bai Qinghao... I¡¯ll definitely abide by the traffic rules in the future!¡±
The passers-by expressed admiration from the bottom of their modest hearts.
Fang Xinxin opened the door and went to the backseat of the M760. This time, she did not squeeze into the co-driver¡¯s seat with Bai Qinghao.
However, Bai Qinghao did not follow her in. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I only had thirty minutes to apany you. I have urgent matters to deal with, now.¡±
¡°That¡¯s alright. Go ahead.¡± She smiled at him.
Bai Qinghao gave her an apologetic look.
He had hoped to spend more time with her. However, he needed to manage arge enterprise like Shi Shi Group and also, take care of the vital matters that the Bai family were involved in. Those were of utmost secrecy and could not be handed over to outsiders.
A SUV had driven over and was parked on the side of the road. Bai Qinghao stepped into the co-driver¡¯s seat and the car quickly drove away.
Wei Youan rushed to bow towards the leaving car. ¡°Please go safely!¡±
Fang Xinxin stared at the SUV dazedly.
Sigh, the love of her life was too busy.
He didn¡¯te home to sleepst night and he only stayed with her for thirty minutes today.
As Tong Yu continued driving, he nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s gloomy expression through the rearview mirror and said, ¡°Miss Fang, don¡¯t be upset. Boss has been especially busy recently. Every minute he spent with you earlier was forcefully squeezed out of his busy schedule. He actually rushed back from abroad this morning and he has to leave for another business trip right now.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not unhappy. My heart aches for him when I see how busy he is.¡± She pursed her lips.
Tong Yu responded. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re not as fond of Bai Chenxi as they say you are outside.¡±
At the very least, from his perspective, the rtionship between Miss Fang and his boss was rather strong.
¡°Is Bai Chenxi worthy of holding your boss¡¯s shoes?¡± She replied. ¡°I¡¯m not blind.¡±
¡°No.¡± Yong Yu responded immediately.
Their boss was a manparable to God. Although Bai Chenxi also hailed from the Bai family, from their perspective, he was but a weak bastard.
¡°Isn¡¯t it clear then?¡± Fang Xinxin nodded mildly.
They were arriving at a crossroad and Tong Yu asked. ¡°Where would you like to go now?¡±
She was about to tell him to drive aimlessly for a while when she received Fang Shaohua¡¯s message.
Chapter 413: Shaohua Also Gifted A Car
Chapter 413: Shaohua Also Gifted A Car
[Xinxin, do you have the time to drop by Hong Sheng district?]
After reading the message, she told Tong Yu, ¡°Head to Hong Sheng District.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± As a chauffeur, Tong Yu¡¯s responsibility was to carry out her orders.
Of course, he would only do so in the situation that her orders did not sh with his boss¡¯s. In those scenarios, he would only abide by thetter¡¯s instructions.
Fang Xinxin instructed Tong Yu to drive directly into the Hong Sheng district. He stopped the car right in front of Block A.
The moment she alighted the car, she noticed Fang Shaohua searching left and right for her. He was dressed in casual wear and had a baseball cap and mask on.
Her heart ached slightly, looking at his hidden appearance.
However, she firmly believed that her brother was innocent.
She was sad about the three years during which he had been locked up. Till now, his crimes remained looming over his head.
As he had been released on bail for medical reasons, he could not let anyone realise that he was healthy. Each time he headed out, he had to cover up in this manner.
Fang Shaohua did not expect Fang Xinxin to alight from a brand new M760.
He knew about this car. It had been recently released into the market and was being sold for more than five hundred thousand dors.
He then nced at the bodyguard in the driver¡¯s seat.
Clearly, Bai Qinghao had not only bought her a brand new car but had also arranged a chauffeur for her.
Fang Xinxin approached him and called softly. ¡°Brother!¡±
¡°En.¡± He nodded slightly. She was able to recognise him easily despite his mask.
This indicated that he upied some space in her heart, didn¡¯t it?
His darkened heart felt a littleforted.
Fang Xinxin was not afraid of letting Tong Yu meet Fang Shaohua. After all, the fact that Bai Qinghao assigned Tong Yu to her meant that he was someone Bai Qinghao trusted implicitly.
Her gazended on Fang Shaohua¡¯s face. ¡°Did something happen? Why did youe downstairs to receive me?¡±
Fang Shaohua began softly. ¡°I made some money through the stock market recently and remembered that you¡¯ve been walking to school everyday... I bought you a car.¡±
But now it seems like... he was one step behind. Bai Qinghao had already bought her one.
Fang Xinxin btedly noticed that a white BMW X6 was parked right next to her brother. She nced through the driver seat¡¯s window and noticed that this was the best avable version in the market. It had to cost at least a hundred thousand dors. ¡°Brother, you should keep it for your own use.¡±
She was deeply moved by his gift.
He did not own a car right now, yet he purchased one for her first. The car he had been using prior to his imprisonment had long been sold by Fang Ln.
¡°Do you find the car I bought for you too poor to use?¡± Fang Shaohua recognised that the car he bought had no way ofpeting against the M760. That car was worth more than five hundred thousand dors.
¡°No.¡± She shook her head. ¡°No matter how much it costs, as long as it was gifted by you, it would still be expensive. It¡¯s extremely precious to me.¡±
Furthermore, this car her brother had bought her was already very costly. Although it could notpete against Bai Qinghao¡¯s gift, his sincerity was heartfelt.
When Fang Shaohua heard this, his mind rxed. He handed the car keys over to her. ¡°Keep it then. There¡¯s nothing wrong with having an extra car. You can switch between cars as and when you like.¡±
Fang Xinxin was a smart person. When she heard her brother¡¯s words, she knew that he had recognised that the M760 was a gift from Bai Qinghao.
Regardless, she could not ept such an expensive gift from her brother.
Otherwise, Bai Qinghao would be upset.
She did not n on saying this. However, for the sake of urging her brother to take his gift back, she could only say, ¡°Bai Qinghao is an outrageous man. He bought me ten luxury-branded cars at one go. I won¡¯t be able to use them all even if I keep switching between cars.¡±
Fang Shaohua was dumbstruck for a moment. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face.
As expected, what he could offer was even less than a tenth of what Bai Qinghao could give her.
He held the car keys tightly in his palm and murmured. ¡°My abilities are truly of no match against his.¡±
Fang Xinxin took in his devastated appearance and frowned. ¡°Brother, you shouldn¡¯t say that. You are you, and Bai Qinghao is Bai Qinghao. You¡¯re already outstanding in my eyes.¡±
Chapter 414: No Blood Relations
Chapter 414: No Blood Rtions
¡°What about between him and I? Between the two of us, who is more outstanding to you?¡± A hint of hope appeared in Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart.
His Xinxin was not a greedy woman.
Perhaps, in her heart, he could be even more important than Bai Qinghao.
¡°Brother, how could you ask something like that?¡± Fang Xinxin frowned with some unhappiness.
¡°Xinxin, I want to know the answer...¡±
¡°You are my brother and he is my fianc¨¦.¡± She responded firmly. ¡°The two of you upy very different positions in my heart. I don¡¯t want you to make this sort ofparison.¡±
If she had to give an answer, no one could be as outstanding or important as Bai Qinghao for her.
However, she could not say this. She was worried that he would get upset.
He was already in a painful plight with the crimes over his head, she did not wish to add onto his worries.
¡°I¡¯m not your biological brother.¡± Fang Shaohua was somewhat agitated. ¡°We¡¯re not rted by blood!¡±
¡°Since young, we grew up in the same family. From the moment I gained awareness, I always knew you were my brother. You even treated me much better than many other brothers would to their biological sisters.¡± She continued. ¡°Could it be that the family rtionship between the two of us cannot be equal to those siblings who are actually connected by blood?¡±
¡°In my heart, you are the most important!¡± His tone was firm.
¡°Isn¡¯t that good enough?¡± She did not wish to argue about this and continued with some frustration. ¡°I hate it when youpete with Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°Alright, alright...¡± Fang Shaohua always gave into her.
He quickly backed off. ¡°I won¡¯t do it then.¡±
Her expression softened. ¡°That¡¯s better.¡±
¡°Then, the car that I bought for you...¡±
¡°Keep it for your own use.¡± She responded. ¡°Your newpany is still on its way to stabilising. Having a car makes everything a lot more convenient. I¡¯ll ept your intentions.¡±
Bai Qinghao had already bought her ten cars. Fang Shaohua did not insist on it. ¡°Alright then. Will youe upstairs for a while?¡±
¡°No.¡± She lifted her head to look at him. ¡°Brother, do you have any other matters?¡±
He shook his head but watched her with emotional eyes. He dearly hoped that she could stay to apany him, even if it was just for a little while.
¡°I still have something on. I have to leave now.¡± In fact, she had absolutely nothing to do.
If this had been in the past, she would have taken the initiative to go upstairs and spend some time with her brother. However, ever since her brother became drunk and she heard his confession...
Right now, as she took in the feelings that he was struggling to conceal in his gaze...
She found herself slightly afraid to confront them. She did not know how to be herself in front of him.
To prevent things from turning awkward, she felt that it was better to leave instead.
Fang Shaohua watched as she left quickly as though she was escaping.
Misery filled his heart.
He knew that she was running away.
She must be struggling to ept that he had taken her innocence, wasn¡¯t she?
But he was truly overjoyed and happy. What was he supposed to do about it?
So what if Bai Qinghao had bought her ten expensive cars? No matter what Bai Qinghao did, he could not change the fact that Xinxin now belonged to him!
Fang Xinxin sat in the co-driver¡¯s seat and nced at Tong Yu.
Earlier, he did not alight and did not overhear their conversation.
¡°Is Miss Fang returning to the Yu Ting Vi now?¡± Tong Yu took the initiative to ask.
¡°Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t home. Let¡¯s not return for now.¡± Fang Xinxin said this and read off an address to him.
The car reached outside an unassuming, private house in an old street.
Fang Xinxin instructed Tong Yu to wait in the car. She approached the old house and knocked rhythmically against the door.
A middle-aged man with a normal appearance opened the door. He had met her previously and did not request for the secret code this time. He directly let her in.
Chapter 415: Asking My Boss
Chapter 415: Asking My Boss
This was Fang Xinxin¡¯s second time visiting Hei Xiao.
In the dark room, the blonde and handsome foreign man, Ya Lun saw her and immediately greeted her warmly. ¡°Hi! Miss Fang.¡±
He held one of her hands and bent down to kiss it.
Before his lips could touch her skin, Fang Xinxin retracted her hand with a cold expression. ¡°It isn¡¯t a custom in this country to greet someone by kissing their hands.¡±
¡°That¡¯s alright, Miss Fang.¡± Ya Lun winked his gemstone-like blue eyes at her. ¡°We can have an embrace instead of that.¡±
He then extended his arms towards her.
¡°You¡¯re trying to be a gangster.¡± She pushed him away coldly.
Ya Lun gave her a dazzling smile and held his index finger up, shifting it left and right. ¡°No, no, no. ¡®Gangster¡¯ is not a suitable word. I will only disy my warm side to the women that I¡¯m interested in. If you were anyone else, I wouldn¡¯t be this polite.¡±
In fact, most people who came requesting their services were often frightened till they were half-dead.
He sized her up carefully. ¡°Miss Fang, you sure have a way of surprising people. Thest time you visited, you were really overweight. Now you¡¯ve be so thin... Your figure is absolutely perfect. I¡¯m afraid there are very few women who couldpete against you in this country.¡±
¡°Thanks for the praise.¡±
Ya Lun¡¯s gaze then shifted onto the medicine on her face. He could not see her true appearance underneath it and assumed that she was as ugly as she had been thest time she visited. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your face is...¡±
Fang Xinxin had no intention of telling him that she had turned beautiful. ¡°Alright, enough with the nonsense. Where is Wang Liangping, the little thief I instructed you guys to find for me previously?¡±
Without that thief, there would be no progress in her brother¡¯s case.
Ya Lun¡¯s expression turned apologetic. ¡°We haven¡¯t found him during this time.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that he was in Mysia? It¡¯s been so long. You have had more than enough time to search through the entire country by now!¡±
¡°That man is extremely cunning. He is no longer in Mysia.¡± This was the truth.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned stony. ¡°You told me that it would only take a few days. How long has it been now? Is this the so-called efficiency that Hei Xiao boasts of?¡±
¡°This...¡± Ya Lun frowned. ¡°I also did not expect the matter to be this difficult.¡±
¡°If your organisation is incapable, I can only request someone else to do this.¡±
¡°Our organisation¡¯s ability is the best internationally. If Hei Xiao is unable to find him, the only possibility is that he has already been turned into ashes.¡±
Fang Xinxin was losing her patience. ¡°I¡¯m giving you another week. If you are still unable to find him, I will withdraw my request and make it known to the world that your organisation is incapable.¡±
After saying this, she turned to leave.
With one look from Ya Lun, the middle-aged man who had opened the door earlier blocked her way.
Ya Lun spoke up from behind. ¡°Miss Fang, you understand our work well. Based on your earlier threat alone, I could take your life and silence your lips!¡±
The Hei Xiao organisation did not allow anyone to threaten its reputation.
If this was anyone else, the person would already have been killed.
After all, the Hei Xiao organisation had its hands in every shady business.
Fang Xinxin was not afraid. She harrumphed coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that if I die, Bai Qinghao will directly destroy your organisation? Besides, if I am unable to leave this ce, it will quickly be known to the world that your organisation is not only incapable but you even murdered an employer to silence the news. Don¡¯t even think about having any more business from now onwards.¡±
Moreover, with her abilities, it wouldn¡¯t be that easy to kill her.
¡°Remember this. After ten days, I want to see Wang Liangping!¡± Fang Xinxin said this firmly and walked around the middle-aged man to go through the door.
Chapter 416: Who Is He?
Chapter 416: Who Is He?
Yan Lun was surprised. To think that she would be unfazed by his threats. Her attitude was much stronger than he had expected.
¡°Boss, what do we do?¡± The middle-aged man asked him. ¡°This woman won¡¯t listen to your threats. Do we really have to hand the person over?¡±
Hei Xiao had underground connections throughout the entire world. A small fry like Wang Liangping was easily caught within three days.
Ya Lun ran his hand through his short, blonde hair. ¡°I have to ask my higher-ups.¡±
He was only a subordinate. If the people above him refused to let go of the person, what was he supposed to do?
Ya Lun brought his phone out and dialled a number. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin just came by. She said that she wants to see Wang Liangping in seven days. Otherwise, even if we take her life, she will ensure that the world knows that Hei Xiao iscking in capability. She¡¯s too arrogant. Should we just get rid of her?¡±
¡°Are you tired of living?¡± The man¡¯s voice on the other end was cold and heavy.
¡°Of course not.¡± Ya Lun rushed to deny this. He then made another suggestion. ¡°How about we hand over Wang Liangping, whom we¡¯ve already caught, to her?¡±
¡°No. Keep him locked up.¡±
¡°But what do we do when shees back in seven days?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use. Settle this with her. Ensure that the organisation¡¯s reputation remains intact.¡±
The man spoke coldly and hung up before Ya Lun could respond.
Ya Lun stared at his phone in frustration. He nced at the middle-aged man standing by the door. ¡°What do I do now?¡±
The middle-aged responded expressionlessly. ¡°Killing her is the fastest way to settle this.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t touch her.¡±
¡°Then bribe her and seal her lips.¡±
¡°Her fianc¨¦ is too rich.¡± Ya Lun felt that all the avable options were ineffective. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that he gifted her ten luxury-branded cars today?¡±
The middle-aged carelessly responded, ¡°Her fianc¨¦ has money but he doesn¡¯t have any time.¡±
Ya Lun¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. He pped his own head in realisation. ¡°Boss said that no matter what method I use, I can¡¯t allow her to ruin the organisation¡¯s reputation. We can¡¯t let go of Wang Liangping either. It seems like... it¡¯s time for me to sacrifice myself for the sake of this organisation.¡±
¡°You n to put your own life at risk to get rid of her?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not tired of living yet.¡± Ya Lun brushed his blonde hair back confidently. ¡°I n to sacrifice my body!¡±
The middle-aged looked at him as though he thought he was asking for death. However, he did not stop him.
...
When Fang Xinxin returned to the car, Tong Yu did not question her about her dealings.
He focused on listening to her instructions and driving her to the ces she wanted to go. It seemed like he wasn¡¯t a chatty person.
Fang Xinxin sat in the co-driver¡¯s seat and asked him. ¡°Do you have to report my whereabouts to Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°No.¡± Tong Yu understood what she was asking. ¡°Boss only instructed me to act as your chauffeur. He did not arrange for me to act as a surveince.¡±
¡°Good.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
The truth of the matter was, even if Bai Qinghao did not intend to watch her, there was no privacy in using one of his men as her chauffeur.
This was because if Bai Qinghao asked, Tong Yu would surely answer all his questions.
Thus, the best method was to take some time to obtain a driver¡¯s license. Once she was able to drive on her own, she would have a proper excuse to stop relying on a chauffeur.
Although she already obtained a license in her previous lifetime, she still needed to take the proper route in this lifetime.
After signing up at a driving school, she returned to school in the afternoon.
When the M760 drove into the school, it garnered a lot of attention.
Fang Xinxin alighted from the car and was instantly surrounded by other students.
The noise of a car engine approached from a far and a bright red Ferrari came to a stop by her side.
Chapter 417: The New French Teacher
Chapter 417: The New French Teacher
Ya Lun, who was eye-catching with his blonde hair, sharp nose and western features, alighted from the car. He had a perfect, dazzling smile and instantly caught the attention of countless girls.
¡°Wah, this man is so handsome!¡±
¡°Yeah, he is really tall too...¡±
Several girls from Jing Hua University began whispering among themselves fervently.
¡°Hi, Xinxin, we meet again!¡± Ya Lun waved at Fang Xinxin and greeted her happily.
Fang Xinxin appeared not to have seen anything. She informed Tong Yu to pick her up in a few hours and turned to leave for her ssroom.
Ya Lun rushed to follow her. ¡°We¡¯re considered to be old friends. Why are you ignoring me?¡±
¡°Who wants to be friends with you?¡± Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°Move aside.¡±
Qian Xiaoke, the Year 4 female student who was obsessed with money, watched Ya Lun with sparkling eyes.
He came here in a Ferrari worth millions of dors and was extremely handsome. He was exactly what one would expect a wealthy westerner to look like.
¡°Hello, Handsome. Why don¡¯t we be friends?¡± Qian Xiaoke took the initiative to greet Ya Lun.
¡°Sure.¡± Ya Lun was not the kind to refuse anyone. He smiled at her.
¡°I¡¯m Qian Xiaoke, a Year 4 student...¡±
¡°Nice to meet you, beautifuldy.¡± His smile was dazzling.
Fang Manxue had simrly driven a Ferrari in. However, hers was worth less than a million dors.
After parking her car, she noticed Fang Xinxin and approached her.
One of their schoolmates asked her. ¡°Fang Manxue, you¡¯re not using your crutches today?¡±
¡°My legs have recovered.¡±
She nced coldly at Fang Xinxin, who was being held back by Ya Lun. ¡°Third Sister, aren¡¯t you being too shameless? You have a wonderful fianc¨¦ like Bai Qinghao yet you¡¯re seducing a foreign handsome man. Isn¡¯t this too out of line?¡±
She recalled the way Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguards had tossed her out of the Yu Ting Vi and felt her body ache in pain.
She was deeply enraged. Thankfully, she did not suffer any serious injuries at that time.
If she had not waited for Fang Xinxin outside the Yu Ting Vi for four hours, this would never have happened.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows and was about to lose her temper.
But Ya Lun spoke up first. ¡°Beautiful Miss Fang Manxue, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m not that close to Xinxin.¡±
¡°You know me?¡± Fang Manxue appeared suspicious.
¡°You¡¯ve been on the news so frequently everyday. Most people are familiar with you by now.¡± Ya Lun exined.
¡°So what?¡± Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly. ¡°You addressed my third sister as ¡®Xinxin¡¯, so warmly, yet you dare say that you¡¯re not that close to her?¡±
Ya Lun¡¯s smile was not affected. ¡°I called my own student Xinxin to reduce the teacher-student distance between us. Simrly, I can address you as Manxue, or Xiao Xue.¡±
His eyes were sharp and he easily noticed Jiang Xingnan, who was approaching them. ¡°No one would protest if I called him Nan Nan either.¡±
Jiang Xingnan was covered in goosebumps due to disgust. ¡°Who the fuck are you? Don¡¯t address your old man that way.¡±
¡°No, no, no, Nan Nan. You¡¯re too disrespectful. It seems like the teacher hasn¡¯t taught you well.¡±
Everyone noticed the main point. He was addressing himself as their teacher?
Ya Lun noticed the confusion in their gaze and grinned, revealing his shiny, bright teeth. ¡°Your French teacher, Dong Yuzhu, has been fired. I am your new French Teacher, Ya Lun. I¡¯ll see all of you in sster.¡±
Fang Xinxin stared at Ya Lun¡¯s back view.
She cursed to herself internally.
Hei Xiao¡¯s second inmand was really well fucking connected. In a blink of an eye, he had be Jing Hua University¡¯s French teacher?
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gazended on Fang Manxue. ¡°Did you hear that? The teacher was addressing his own student warmly. Don¡¯t carelessly bring up inappropriate rtionships as you please!¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue bit down on her lip.
Chapter 418: Discovered
Chapter 418: Discovered
How could she have known that the handsome foreigner was actually their new French teacher!
¡°Wow, Teacher Ya Lun is so handsome...¡± Qian Xiaoke, along with several other female students, had their eyes sparkling with admiration. ¡°I wonder if he has a girlfriend?¡±
¡°I really wish I could be his girlfriend...¡±
¡°Student-teacher rtionships aren¡¯t really appropriate, are they?¡± Someone questioned.
¡°We¡¯re already university students. At most, we won¡¯t make the rtionship public and will only get married after I graduate.¡± As long as Teacher Ya Lun was willing, there would always be ways around it.
Fang Manxue listened to their conversation and recalled that Teacher Ya Lun had driven a costly Ferrari to school. Although their cars were of the same brand, his car was much more expensive.
Furthermore, he was extremely handsome and had even addressed her as a ¡®beautifuldy¡¯...
Although she only had feelings for Bai Qinghao, she felt her confidence being boosted by his attitude towards her.
Everyone¡¯s attention was on Teacher Ya Lun, who had just left. Jiang Xingnan, however, was gloomily watching Fang Xinxin.
Her figure was bing better and better. Her waist was unbelievably slender and her 1.67 metres body appeared tall and seductive. Yet, this did not affect her feminine charm.
He found her to be increasingly special.
For the past few days, his emotions had been seriously affected by her. Her image often appeared in his mind.
However, he wasn¡¯t clear as to what exactly she had applied on her skin. It was thick to the point where even her scabs could not be seen.
¡°Fang Xinxin, did you apply ayer of shit on your face?¡± Jiang Xingnan suddenly smiled viciously.
The moment he said this, everyone burst intoughter.
Qian Xiaoke joined in as well. ¡°Earlier, if Handsome Ya Lun... I mean if the teacher didn¡¯t call her Xinxin, I would not have recognised her.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± A few students continued poking fun.
Fang Xinxin was genuinely provoked by Jiang Xingnan¡¯s filthy lips. ¡°Smelly Mouth Jiang, your words are so smelly. Won¡¯t it poison your face? This is skincare. I am nourishing my skin. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Look at your ugly appearance. What¡¯s the need for skincare?¡± Jiang Xingnan smiled mockingly. ¡°No matter how much skincare you do, there won¡¯t be any men looking at you!¡±
Fang Manxue also noticed theyer of paste that Fang Xinxin had applied on her skin. She turned to Jiang Xingnan in confusion.
Why did he appear to be targeting Fang Xinxin even more than he did previously?
A while ago, she had clearly noticed his strange behaviour around Fang Xinxin. Could it be that she had seen it wrongly?
Fang Xinxin really wanted to wipe off the medicine to show them her stunning looks.
Unfortunately, there were still some red scars remaining.
Her skin was not perfect yet and hence, she could not afford to stop using the medicine as it would affect her recovery.
Thus, she could only smile coldly. ¡°If there aren¡¯t any men looking at me, why did you stand in my way?¡±
Jiang Xingnan faltered at her question.
¡°Oh...¡± Fang Xinxin dragged her voice out and appeared to understand. ¡°It turns out that you¡¯re not a man.¡±
Jiang Xingnan had been startled by her ¡®knowing¡¯ appearance. He was deathly afraid that she would notice his feelings.
When he heard her remaining words, he gritted his teeth in anger. ¡°How am I not a man?¡±
He pressed close to her and whispered. ¡°Do you want to verify it personally?¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded him with one word and left in anger.
Jiang Xingnan took in her receding back view. His gaze darkened and he quietly began following her.
Fang Manxue quietly held her phone and captured the gloomy appearance which Jiang Xingnan had as he watched Fang Xinxin.
She stood in a secluded corner and repeatedly watched the video that she had taken.
She was certain now that she hadn¡¯t seen it wrongly earlier.
Chapter 419: Two Birds With One Stone
Chapter 419: Two Birds With One Stone
As expected, Jiang Xingnan had feelings for Fang Xinxin! Only god knew why his mouth was so nasty towards her.
How could she possibly allow Bai Qinghao to miss the fact that Fang Xinxin was irresponsibly seducing men at school?
Fang Manxue immediately edited the videos that she had taken and sent them to Bai Qinghao along with a message.
After two failed attempts, she realised that her number had been cklisted by him!
That¡¯s fine. This was a problem she could easily solve.
She brought out a different SIM card and inserted it into her phone. She then used her other number to send the videos to Bai Qinghao.
She waited for a little while but there were no responses from Bai Qinghao.
She was not upset. She smiled calctively.
In the future, he would receive many more such videos.
During the French ss, Ya Lun introduced himself with a bright smile. ¡°Hello, fellow students. I am your new French Teacher, Ya Lun. I graduated from the University of Cambridge and previously taught abroad for three years...¡±
His self-introduction was perfect. Many of the girls in ss were looking at him with admiration.
Fang Xinxin, however, pursed her lips in disdain.
Who knew if Ya Lun¡¯s history was true. The Hei Xiao organisation was well-connected. As long as they wished to fabricate this information, there would certainly be existing data of Ya Lun having studied at Cambridge.
For the remainder of the ss, Ya Lun frequently called on Fang Xinxin and asked her several simple questions. Each time she answered, he would begin praising her. ¡°Fang Xinxin¡¯s French is very urate and fluent. Her intonations are clear and her voice is also pleasant to hear.¡±
Jiang Xingnan had enough of this. ¡°Ya Lun, are you here to teach a ss or to flirt with girls?¡±
He addressed him directly by his name and did not even pause to address him as Teacher.
Ya Lun responded back in a severe voice. ¡°Nan Nan, Teacher will respond to your question seriously. I am here to teach a ss. Fang Xinxin is the ugliest student in ss. Previously, she suffered a lot of verbal abuse. As a teacher, I should show my concern to every student. I don¡¯t wish for her to be self-conscious because of her appearance, so I decided to praise her more. I trust that everyone won¡¯t have any problems with this, am I right?¡±
¡°Absolutely no problems.¡± Wu Jiatong responded andughed loudly.
The entire ss joined in andughed along.
Jiang Xingnan wanted to say that it was none of their business whether or not Fang Xinxin was ugly.
However, he recalled that he had often mocked her looks and had no basis to stand up for her.
His handsomeplexion turned gloomy.
Fang Xinxin, on the other end, remained silent with a cold expression.
She would endure it for a few more days. When the scars on her face faded, she would definitely blind these bastards with her beauty.
Fang Manxue however, was troubled.
Yesterday, she had seen that the scabs on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face were peeling. But right now, her skin was covered by some sort of a paste.
It was clear that those scabs must have fully fallen off. However, the past she applied was too thick and itpletely concealed her appearance.
When they were young, Fang Xinxin was extremely beautiful.
If... she remained as beautiful as she had been in the past, if she regained her original appearances, wouldn¡¯t she lose all hopes of snatching Commander Bai from her?
Manxue did not express the impatience she was feeling.
Suddenly, a scheme to kill two birds with one stone slowly formed in her heart.
Regardless of whether Fang Xinxin had regained her appearance or not, she would make it impossible for her to stand up again!
From now onwards, she would have to rely on Jiang Xingnan to ¡®perform¡¯ well.
She smirked ruthlessly.
She paid no attention to the teacher and instead, quietly followed Jiang Xingnan¡¯s actions with her gaze.
Chapter 420: I’ll Pursue You
Chapter 420: I¡¯ll Pursue You
The more she watched him, the more she was certain that Jiang Xingnan had feelings for Fang Xinxin.
After the ss ended, Ya Lun called out. ¡°Fang Xinxin, make a trip to my office.¡±
¡°Teacher, do you need me to go to your office as well?¡± One of the girls chimed in.
Ya Lun smiled. ¡°The next time you make a mistake, I¡¯ll call you over.¡±
¡°Then, I better not go.¡±
Fang Xinxin really did not wish to give Ya Lun any attention.
However, after their lesson, she realised that his teaching skills weren¡¯t bad. His French was a lot more urate than Dong Yuzhu¡¯s.
Furthermore, he tended to be humorous in his method of teaching and easily earned the students¡¯ liking.
After being called by a teacher, Fang Xinxin could only stand up to head to his office.
The moment she stepped in, she realised there were no other teachers present. Ya Lun, then, shut the door.
Even the blinds were fully closed.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Ya Lun, what are you up to?¡±
She really did not take him as a teacher.
Ya Lun pointed at the chair by the office table. ¡°Sit down.¡±
¡°That¡¯s a teacher¡¯s seat. It¡¯s not appropriate for a student like me to sit there.¡±
Ya Lun leaned close. A dazzling smile appeared on his stunning face. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t be so serious. Look, for the sake of you, I¡¯ve even whitewashed my past. I¡¯m choosing to be a morally upright person.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
She smiled coldly. ¡°As someone who has lived in hell for most of his life, don¡¯t you find the human world to be ufortable?¡±
¡°It is ufortable.¡± Ya Lun winked at her intimately and tried to embrace her. ¡°But for you, I will quickly adapt to it.¡±
¡°Scram!¡± She shoved him aside. ¡°Get straight to the point. What exactly do you want?¡±
She refused to believe his nonsense about turning a new leaf.
Ya Lun was not upset about being shoved aside. ¡°I am formally informing you that I... like... you. I am chasing you!¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that Bai Qinghao will deal with you?¡±
He appeared ready to die as a martyr. ¡°Your fianc¨¦ is rather frightening. But for you, I am willing to ovee any obstacles.¡±
She found his confession extremely insincere. ¡°Scram, scram, scram!¡±
She headed for the door and turned back to tell him. ¡°Don¡¯t carelessly call me to your office again.¡±
She opened the door to see that Head Ma Yongting was coincidentallying in. ¡°Eh? Fang Xinxin, why are you in the office?¡±
¡°I called her over.¡± Ya Lun responded seriously. ¡°Fang Xinxin is the worst student in Year 2, ss 3. I wanted to privately counsel her.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Ma Yongting¡¯s expression was encouraging. ¡°Teacher Wilson, it¡¯sforting to see that you care so deeply for your students.¡±
As Fang Xinxin¡¯s appearance was ugly, no one would misunderstand or doubt his words.
Fang Xinxin was aware that ¡®Wilson¡¯ was Ya Lun¡¯s surname. He had introduced himself in ss, but expressed that he preferred for everyone to call him ¡®Ya Lun¡¯.
¡°I don¡¯t need counselling.¡± Fang Xinxin responded and left without looking back.
She had another ss left but was toozy to attend it. Instead, she headed for the school dormitory.
After turning around the corner in the school garden, Jiang Xingnan stepped out from behind a tree to obstruct her path.
She shifted to the left, and he shifted to the left. She shifted to the right, and he followed her to the right.
¡°Jiang Xingnan, did you take the wrong medicine?¡± She frowned unhappily.
Jiang Xingnan red at her and began gloomily. ¡°Fang Xinxin, did you take a look in the mirror?¡±
She narrowed her eyes. ¡°Speak clearly. What do you mean?¡±
¡°Reflect on your own appearance. Take a clear look at your ugly face.¡± Jiang Xingnan hated that he could not be direct.
Chapter 421: The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, Unaware Of The Bird
Chapter 421: The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, Unaware Of The Bird
¡°The Bai family is one of the most affluent ones. There¡¯s no way you¡¯ll manage to break in. Even if you do, you won¡¯t be able to hold onto the position of Madam Bai for long.¡±
¡°How is it any of your business whether or not I do?¡±
A hint of disappointment appeared in Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Do you love Bai Qinghao¡¯s status and position that much?¡±
¡°This matter is unrted to you.¡± She was toozy to exin anything to him.
¡°I¡¯m saying this for your own good.¡± His expression turned worried. ¡°Being Madam Bai is much harder than you can imagine.¡±
Fang Xinxin had been Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife for ten years in their previous lifetime. How could she not know how difficult it was?
¡°Scram!¡± She raised her voice.
This boy who poked fun at her appearance at every turn was especially annoying!
She walked around him to leave when Jiang Xingnan suddenly held her back. She was caught by surprise and fell into his arms.
Nearby, Fang Manxue stood behind a corner and caught a photo of Jiang Xingnan embracing Fang Xinxin.
Unfortunately, they were too far away for her to hear their conversation.
Fang Manxue scrolled through the photos that she had taken earlier.
One of them was of Jiang Xingnan watching Fang Xinxin emotionally. As Fang Xinxin was facing away from her, she could not get a shot of her expression. She first sent this photo to Bai Qinghao.
As for the photo of Jiang Xingnan embracing Fang Xinxin, she would save it for more important uses in the future.
She did not notice another camera directed at Jiang Xingnan and Fang Xinxin. The camera clearly caught her in the same frame with them.
After being pulled into Jiang Xingnan¡¯s embrace, Fang Xinxin immediately pushed him aside and gave him a tight p.
¡°Pa!¡±
The p resounded loudly.
Jiang Xingnan appeared to be in disbelief. He widened his eyes as his anger burned. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you dared to hit me!¡±
As a son from a wealthy family, no one had ever dared to use physical force against him. If it wasn¡¯t because he had feelings for her, he would have gone against his own principle of not touching women. There was no way he would have let her off before she was half-dead.
¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Fang Xinxin smirked mockingly. ¡°A p is a light punishment for touching me!¡±
¡°Your damned, ugly woman! I¡¯m doing this for your own good. Don¡¯t you understand?¡±
She was angered. ¡°Stop calling me ugly. I¡¯ll fucking send you flying away with my kick.¡±
¡°Ugly, ugly, ugly!¡± Jiang Xingnan shouted three times in session. Fang Xinxin immediately rewarded him with a kick and sent him falling backwards into the flowerbed next to them.
By the time Jiang Xingnan stood up, he was covered in flower petals.
His expression was gloomy as he red harshly at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Ugly women, you better wait for this old man!¡±
Several students passing by appeared to have seen a new gossip. They made spitting noises as they asked in curiosity. ¡°Brother Nan, how did Fang Xinxin end up kicking you? You can¡¯t even defeat a woman?¡±
¡°This old man doesn¡¯t hit women!¡± Jiang Xingnan gritted his teeth.
¡°Fang Xinxin is doomed...¡± Several students expressed sympathy towards her. ¡°She kicked Brother Nan. The consequences... I bet they won¡¯t be as simple as urine pouring from the sky or snakes falling from trees.¡±
¡°Her old man will show her the consequences!¡± Jiang Xingnan was enraged.
One of the boys was confused. ¡°Brother Nan, what do you mean by that? Are you nning on punishing her or taking her?¡±
¡°The one you¡¯re thinking of.¡± Even Jiang Xingnan¡¯s backview appeared enraged as he stomped away.
The remaining students scratched their heads in confusion. The boy shouted at him. ¡°Which one am I thinking of? I don¡¯t know...¡±
Fang Manxue was now leaning much closer to them. This time, not only did she record a video, she also caught their voices clearly.
Finally, she left in satisfaction.
With the assistance of this video, the sess rate of her strike... would be a hundred percent!
She edited the clip and immediately sent it to Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone again.
Chapter 422: Her Old Man
Chapter 422: Her Old Man
Several hundred kilometres away from the city centre, Bai Qinghao had just ended his inspection of one of Sheng Shi Group¡¯s important projects. He was currently resting in one of the break rooms.
He opened his phone to see two new messages.
The first was a photo of Jiang Xingnan watching Fang Xinxin emotionally.
The second was a short video which held a simple conversation:
[Her old man will show her the consequences!] Jiang Xingnan¡¯s angry expression was captured in it.
He continued watching it.
[Brother Nan, what do you mean by that? Are you nning on punishing her or taking her?]
[The one you¡¯re thinking of.]
After watching the video, Bai Qinghao¡¯s handsomeplexion instantly turned green. Hemanded darkly. ¡°Instruct the people at the city centre to send someone to teach Jiang Xingnan a lesson!¡±
He even dared to have thoughts about his woman. He must have gotten sick of living!
¡°Yes, sir.¡± A bodyguard immediately carried out his orders.
Bai Qinghao stared at the unsaved number. He had already received a third message from this person. He narrowed his cold eyes.
It seems like someone was watching Jiang Xingnan and Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions to secretly send him news.
The corner of his lips rose coldly.
...
After returning to the dormitory, Fang Xinxin began missing her other half. She sent Bai Qinghao a message on WeChat:
[What are you up to?]
Bai Qinghao responded in seconds.
[When I¡¯m not around, you have to be obedient!]
[I¡¯m very obedient. I spend all my time missing you.]
She sent the message and apanied it with a sticker of a warm smile.
[Is that so?]
It was a neutral response.
Fang Xinxin was dissatisfied. He didn¡¯t even respond that he missed her too. She decided to video call him.
He epted the call.
She saw that Bai Qinghao was seated on arge, red wood chair. He was dressed in a ck suit and his posture was upright. His aura was powerful.
However, his eyes were slightly bloodshot from fatigue. ¡°Bai Qinghao, why don¡¯t you sleep for a little while?¡±
She had been upset with his response.
However, at the sight of his exhausted figure, she recalled Tong Yu telling her that Bai Qinghao had stayed up all night yesterday. He even rushed back from abroad to spend thirty minute with her.
Her heart instantly softened.
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly. It had been forty-eight hours since hest slept. It was time that he rested a little.
He took in her slender figure and her little face covered in medicinal paste. Only her sparkling eyes could be seen. He wasn¡¯t sure why, but his heart moved only for her. He coldly instructed her. ¡°I¡¯ll only be home in five days. Wait for me!¡±
She made an ¡®okay¡¯ gesture.
Deep down, she was disappointed.
Her great-aunt had left today.
Unfortunately, he was too busy and she still needed to wait for five more days.
¡°Aren¡¯t you hanging up?¡± She lifted her delicate brows.
He could not bear to hang up. Although he felt this way on the inside, he coldly reminded her. ¡°Don¡¯t forget your promise in five days!¡±
Her expression turned bashful. Thankfully, the medicine prevented him from seeing her blush. ¡°I know.¡±
She did not wish to disturb his rest. After taking a proper look at his handsome appearance, she took the initiative to end the call.
Bai Qinghao noticed her loving gaze right before the call ended. His frozen heart instantly turned warm.
There was space for him in her heart. She did miss him!
The hint of unhappiness caused by Jiang Xingnan¡¯s one-sided feelings instantly disappeared.
Fang Xinxinid down on her bed and held her hand out to count the days it would take for Bai Qinghao to return.
¡°Oh no, Brother Nan was tossed into theke!¡± Someone shouted from outside the dormitory.
Fang Xinxin approached the balcony to see a crowd of people running towards the schoolke.
Chapter 423: Who Bought You 999 Roses?
Chapter 423: Who Bought You 999 Roses?
Sun Jiamu appeared behind her. ¡°Xinxin, aren¡¯t you joining the crowd?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± She shook her head.
She was not interested in Jiang Xingnan¡¯s matters.
¡°Aren¡¯t you curious about who tossed Jiang Xingnan into theke?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Sun Jiamu casually began speaking. ¡°Earlier, when I passed by theke, I saw two bodyguards tossing Jiang Xingnan into theke. The water sshed really loudly. Considering the Jiang family¡¯s influence, there aren¡¯t many people who would dare touch Jiang Xingnan. This was obviously done by your fianc¨¦.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s curiosity was finally stirred. ¡°Why did Bai Qinghao touch him?¡±
¡°How would I know? But...¡± Sun Jiamu winked. ¡°Xinxin, there are rumours in school that Jiang Xingnan wants to take you. Could it be that he has feelings for you? Did your fianc¨¦ get to know that?¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°How could Jiang Xingnan possibly have feelings for me? They must have misheard him.¡±
In her previous life, Jiang Xingnan had nothing but hatred for her.
¡°A lot of people heard him saying so.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was certain.
Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°To be honest, I heard Jiang Xingnan say this as well, but I didn¡¯t catch his words very clearly. This was an hour ago. To think that news would spread so quickly.¡±
¡°That¡¯s because he is Brother Nan. His influence is rather big in school.¡±
Fang Xinxin thought of something else.
If Bai Qinghao really heard about this and touched Jiang Xingnan, that meant...
Someone was reporting her actions to Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin felt that Jiang Xingnan had been slightly wronged. ¡°Jiang Xingnan is suffering without cause this time. It isn¡¯t just about theke water being cold. His face as Brother Nan ispletely lost.¡±
¡°You¡¯re worried about him?¡± Sun Jiamu asked her with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re interested in Brother Nan.¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Fang Xinxin immediately rified. ¡°Aside from Bai Qinghao, I won¡¯t have feelings for anyone.¡±
¡°How loyal!¡± Sun Jiamuughed and teased her. She jumped on top of her and began tickling her.
Fang Xinxin flipped over and pressed Sun Jiamu under her. She then lifted Sun Jiamu¡¯s chin gently. ¡°Beautiful, the entire school ims that Jiang Xingnan has feelings for you. Aren¡¯t you angry that he may have feelings for me?¡±
Sun Jiamu blushed from her actions. ¡°I would rather be friends with you for a lifetime, than have feelings for Jiang Xingnan. Just as you said, I won¡¯t have any feelings for him.¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Fang Xinxin trembled withughter. ¡°Brother Nan must have never expected that both of us would look down on him!¡±
The two of them yed for a little while before it was time for Tong Yu toe pick her up. She gave him a call and instructed him to deliver her medicine here. She then informed him that there was no need to drive her back.
Since Bai Qinghao was not at the Yu Ting Vi, she would not return there. She decided to spend the next few days at the school dormitory.
The next morning, Fang Xinxin stepped into the ssroom and was instantly the centre of attention.
Just like yesterday, her face was covered in medicine.
Logically speaking, everyone should have seen her current appearance. It didn¡¯t make sense for them to be surprised.
A young man dressed in an employee¡¯s uniform approached her with arge bouquet of roses. He asked warmly, ¡°May I know if you are Miss Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°I am.¡±
¡°This is a bouquet of 999 roses. I was asked to send this to you. Please sign to receive it!¡± The young man handed the bouquet to her and brought a receipt out. ¡°Please sign here on the receipt.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted onto Jiang Xingnan, who was seated on thest table in the first row.
Chapter 424: Table Mates
Chapter 424: Table Mates
He appeared to befortable and well. It seemed like he did not fall sick after being tossed into theke. As usual, there was a cup of coffee on his desk and he was gracefully tasting it.
She wasn¡¯t sure if this bouquet of flowers came from him.
Or was it Ya Lun, that bastard?
In any case, Bai Qinghao was currently abroad. There was no way that the flowers were from Bai Qinghao.
Thus, she coldly responded. ¡°My apologies. I refuse to ept them.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t do this. The man who ordered these flowers instructed that you have to ept them. If you won¡¯t, I¡¯ll have to throw these flowers away.¡± The young man appeared helpless.
¡°Throw it away, then.¡± Fang Xinxin walked around him and headed for her seat only to see that Yu Liang was actually seated there. ¡°Why are you in my seat?¡±
Yu Liang¡¯s heart had moved for her quite some time ago. He responded apologetically. ¡°We reshuffled our seats today. It¡¯s unfair to the students who are seated at the back to maintain the same seating arrangement throughout the school year. Everyone agreed to rearrange seats by drawing lots.¡±
¡°Where are the lots?¡±
Yu Liang pointed at a ss table on the lecturer¡¯s podium.
Fang Xinxin headed for the podim.
A group of girls in ss stared at the bouquet in the young man¡¯s hands with envy. Wu Jiatong spoke up first. ¡°Handsome, it¡¯s too much of a waste to throw those roses away. Why don¡¯t you gift it to me?¡±
¡°Gift it to me, gift it to me!¡± Several other girls chimed in.
The young employee holding onto the bouquet was ced in a tight spot. ¡°There are 999 roses in this bouquet and it represents pure love. It¡¯s such arge bouquet and it¡¯s naturally very costly as well. It would be best if Fang Xinxin herself epted it.¡±
When the girls heard him say so, they gave up asking for it. Wu Jiatong was extremely curious. ¡°Who bought these flowers?¡±
¡°The customer did not reveal his name.¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t understand. Even if Fang Xinxin has slimmed down, her face remains ugly. To think that someone would buy flowers for her.¡± Wu Jiatong¡¯s voice was sour with jealousy.
Sun Jiamu immediately spoke up for her good friend. ¡°Our Xinxin has a beautiful soul. All the men choose to admire her rather than you. What about it?¡±
¡°You!¡± Wu Jiatong wanted to charge forward to give Sun Jiamu a p but recalled that Brother Nan previously dered that no one could touch her.
She was stifled with anger.
Fang Xinxin approached the podium and saw that there was only a single strip of paper left in the transparent ss bottle.
She scanned the ssroom. All the students were seated and the only empty seat that remained was next to Jiang Xingnan.
This meant that the final lot she had was for the table next to Jiang Xingnan¡¯s.
Fang Xinxin questioned no one in particr. ¡°Are the lots fair?¡±
One of her ssmates responded immediately. ¡°It¡¯s very fair. We all took the lots randomly. It¡¯s because you¡¯rete that there¡¯s only one lot left.¡±
Fang Xinxin took thest strip of paper from the ss bottle. She opened it to see that it indicated thest seat in the second column.
Thest seat in the second column was connected with the seat in the first column. The person in the first column was Jiang Xingnan.
As expected, the seat she had got was next to Jiang Xingnan. Fang Xinxin frowned deeply. ¡°Why am I seated with Jiang Xingnan?¡±
Wu Jiatong had liked Jiang Xingnan for a long time. She deeply wished that she could sit with Brother Nan. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side. ¡°Go ahead and celebrate. It¡¯s a blessing from your previous life that you¡¯re able to share a table with Brother Nan.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want this blessing.¡± Fang Xinxin immediately decided. ¡°Wu Jiatong, let¡¯s exchange seats.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Wu Jiatong was overjoyed. She shouted out decisively. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to regret this.¡±
She was about to head for the empty seat next to Jiang Xingnan, when he turned to look at her coldly. ¡°Who dares to destroy the plying with public opinion¡¯ rule that this young master set up?¡±
Chapter 425: Scheme
Chapter 425: Scheme
¡°It¡¯s Fang Xinxin who asked to switch seats...¡± Wu Jiatong refused to give up.
¡°Drawing lots is the most ¡®fair¡¯ method.¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s expression was stony. ¡°If everyone insists they don¡¯t want their allocated seats, what¡¯s the point of drawing lots? Scram back to your seat!¡±
Wu Jiatong returned to her own desk with a humiliated expression. She red harshly at Fang Xinxin. She was certain that the damned woman knew that Brother Nan hated breaking the rules and had intentionally tricked her into embarrassing herself!
Fang Xinxin knew that Wu Jiatong had feelings for Jiang Xingnan. She had created an opportunity for her with good intentions.
To think that Wu Jiatong was not grateful. She even shot a hateful look at her.
Since this sort of person treated good intentions like trash, she would grant her the wish.
Thus, Xinxin headed for the empty seat next to Jiang Xingnan.
The young employee saw this and rushed to ce therge bouquet on the desk. He did not wait for Fang Xinxin to sign his receipt and immediately ran out of the ssroom.
¡°Hey...¡± By the time Fang Xinxin tried to call him back, he was a significant distance away.
She stared at therge bouquet. It was bigger than a bomb and it upied the entirety of her table. She felt slightly upset.
The entire ssroom was filled with the scent of fresh roses.
Indeed, arge bouquet like this was rather expensive. Most people would not be able to afford this.
In her past life, after she was married, she did not receive flowers even once.
During those ten years with Bai Qinghao, the man who did not possess a single romantic cell, did not buy her any flowers.
Every girl had a soft spot for flowers. They were a romantic gift.
Unfortunately, she was afraid that Bai Qinghao would be unhappy and did not dare to ept the flowers. She guessed that she would have to toss these into the trash bin.
She asked Jiang Xingnan coldly. ¡°Are these flowers from you?¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s lips curved slightly but he did not respond directly.
Fang Xinxin sat down by his side and suppressed her voice to say, ¡°Is there a point in arranging our desks to be side by side?¡±
¡°Tsk, who would want to share a desk with an ugly woman like you?¡± Jiang Xingnan shot her a look of disdain. ¡°I¡¯m sitting with you because I¡¯m unlucky.¡±
As if Fang Xinxin would believe him.
In fact, she wasn¡¯t supposed to bete for ss today. However, on the way here she encountered a girl kneeling on the ground. She had been clutching her stomach with a paleplexion, iming that her stomach was unwell. She had begged Fang Xinxin to send her to the infirmary.
The girl was from Year 2, ss 1. As they were of the same age, and out of kindness from her heart, Fang Xinxin decided to be a good samaritan and help her.
Due to this dy, she became thest person toe into the ssroom.
Now that she recalled this matter, she felt that the girl had been intentionally arranged by Jiang Xingnan to force her to pick thest chit.
All Jiang Xingnan had to do was to hold back the chit for his desk mate. When everyone was done picking the lots, he could then toss the final lot into the ss bottle and sessfully force her into bing his deskmate.
She was certain that when everyone had stirred up amotion on their way to picking their lots, no one had noticed this small detail.
It had been too simple for Jiang Xingnan to carry out his scheme.
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°If you find the situation to be unlucky, why don¡¯t you sit with Wu Jiatong?¡±
¡°That bitch clearly has feelings for this young master. Rather than letting her cling onto me,¡± Jiang Xingnan nced at her coldly and pused. ¡°I would rather endure your ugly appearance.¡±
¡°Must your lips be this stinky?¡± She was angered beyond measure.
Jiang Xingnan leaned close to her ear to whisper. ¡°How about you check personally to see if my lips stink?¡±
He was someone who brushed his teeth twice daily. His teeth were sparkling white. As the school¡¯s idol, it was only natural that his mouth was especially fragrant!
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to respond to him.
Ya Lun stepped into the ssroom in a charming blue dress shirt and suit pants at that moment. His gemstone-like blue eyes scanned through the ssroom and finally paused on the bouquet of roses ced on Fang Xinxin¡¯s desk.
Chapter 426: Who Could Understand The Pain In His Heart?
Chapter 426: Who Could Understand The Pain In His Heart?
He only paused for a second before shifting his gaze away.
Fang Xinxin truly could not tell who this bouquet of roses came from.
Throughout the period, she listened seriously to Ya Lun¡¯s ss.
She had to admit that his teaching was of a certain standard.
Indeed, considering Jing Hua University¡¯s status, how could they possibly let just anyonee in to be a lecturer? Naturally, the candidate would have to fulfil their requirements.
It seemed like the Hei Xiao organisation did not only consist of shady outcasts. There were also talented individuals mixed in.
Of course, considering that Heixiao was a top-notch, international underground organisation, it made sense that their people were skilled in every way.
Every so often, Jiang Xingnan would peek at Fang Xinxin. When she focused on the lesson, she appeared both quiet and serious. Her posture was upright and her aura was akin to that of an especially graceful and refineddy.
As a result, he could not help but think that her background had to be really special.
Indeed, she wasn¡¯t born of a lowly status. She grew up in a family that managed a middle-sized enterprise.
The more he watched her, the more he felt attracted to her.
Although he could not see beneath the paste that she had applied on her skin, her sparkling eyes drew him in. Her ck pupils were clearly defined. They appeared like ck pearls submerged in a sea of wisdom.
He could not help but be distracted due to her appearance. He was deeply charmed by her.
Fang Xinxin noticed Jiang Xingnan¡¯s secret nces. She turned to him and lowered her voice to ask him suspiciously. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
He immediately looked guilty as though he was caught in the act. He shifted his eyes away instantly. ¡°Who is looking at you?¡±
She smiled mockingly. ¡°I didn¡¯t say you were looking at me? You really dug your own grave.¡±
¡°I...¡± Jiang Xingnan was speechless.
Throughout this period, his eyes always followed her.
In fact, he wasn¡¯t sure when this began, but he somehow started feeling that she wasn¡¯t the slightest bit ugly. He even felt that her old, overweight self was charming in a quirky way.
Unfortunately, he also learned something especially depressing. It was that... she has never once taken a proper look at him!
Furthermore, she had such an outstanding fianc¨¦...
The reason he constantly provoked her and called her ¡®ugly¡¯ was likely because this was also a method to draw her attention.
After all, he could also earn a ce in her heart by drawing her hatred, couldn¡¯t he? Thus, whenever he met her, he would go against his feelings to insult her.
Who could possibly understand the pain in his heart?
After the bell rang, Teacher Ya Lun took the initiative to approach Fang Xinxin¡¯s desk. He stood by her side to smile dazzlingly at her. ¡°Hi, Xinxin. Do you have any questions about the ss? You can always ask me for help.¡±
¡°No.¡± Her response was direct and blunt.
Ya Lun¡¯s gemlike eyes shifted onto the enormous bouquet on her desk. ¡°Do you like these flowers?¡±
Fang Xinxin wanted to ask if the flowers came from him.
However, if he said yes, news of a teacher gifting flowers to a student would spread throughout the entire Jing Hua University.
Thus, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Fang Manxue approached the desk as well. Her expression was slightly poor.
Yesterday, Teacher Ya Lun had praised her beauty. Yet, from his words, it seemed like he had bought this bouquet for Fang Xinxin.
To think he was this generous!
Fang Manxue insisted on asking the question that Fang Xinxin had avoided asking. ¡°Teacher Ya Lun, you bought such arge bouquet for my third sister?¡±
Wu Jiatong was already upset that Fang Xinxin was deskmates with Jiang Xingnan. She immediately mocked her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you sure are capable. You even seduced a teacher?¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned and was about to lose her temper.
But Ya Lun rushed to wave his hands. ¡°Oh, no, no, no! Xinxin is a good student. You guys cannot misunderstand her. I didn¡¯t buy these flowers for her.¡±
Chapter 427: Flowers From Hao
Chapter 427: Flowers From Hao
¡°...¡± Manxue and Jiatong instantly fell silent.
Fang Xinxin found this amusing. ¡°Teacher, since you didn¡¯t buy me these flowers, why did you ask about them?¡±
Ya Lun did not conceal his intentions in the slightest. ¡°I only asked if you like them. If you do, I¡¯ll buy you a bouquet of roses in the future.¡±
¡°Wow...¡± All the students in ss became excited.
Fang Manxue asked him unhappily., ¡°Teacher Ya Lun, don¡¯t you know that in this country, men will only buy roses for the women they¡¯re interested in?¡±
Perhaps this handsome foreigner was unaware and was doing this out of respect.
¡°I know.¡± Ya Lun responded honestly. ¡°I have feelings for Fang Xinxin. I don¡¯t wish to hide this matter.¡±
¡°Wow!¡± Everyone was dumbstruck.
Fang Manxue had assumed that the handsome Ya Lun had taken a liking to her. After all, he had called her beautiful just yesterday.
In the end, he publicly dered that he had feelings for the ugliest girl in school. She was nearly angered to death. ¡°You¡¯re our teacher. You can¡¯t do this...¡±
Ya Lun put on a wise expression as he began somewhat awkwardly in Chinese. ¡°Since ancient times, the words of a wise man from this country have been repeated. ¡®Admiring and appreciating what is beautiful is only human nature¡¯. Isn¡¯t it normal human behaviour to be attracted to a young woman? Although I¡¯m your teacher, I¡¯m single. I also have the right to be in love.¡±
His gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin is already a Year 2 student. She¡¯ll be graduating in two years. If this school won¡¯t allow a teacher-student rtionship, I¡¯m willing to wait two years for her.¡±
His brave confession won over all the girls.
¡°Teacher Ya Lun, you¡¯re so romantic and brave! You¡¯re a proper gentleman!¡± One of the girls immediately expressed her admiration.
Even Sun Jiamu could not help but praise him. ¡°Teacher, teachers like you who aren¡¯t afraid of the gap between a teacher and a student are especially worthy of respect.¡±
¡°There¡¯s a phrase that¡¯s been said since ancient times. Time is not a distance, being fat or skinny is not a problem...¡± Ya Lun wanted to continue but was cut off by the students¡¯ughter. ¡°It¡¯s ¡®Height is not a distance, weight is not a pressure¡¯...¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Ya Lun joked humorously and instantly won even more admiration from the girls.
Fang Manxue reminded him coldly. ¡°Teacher, there¡¯s no way you don¡¯t know that Fang Xinxin has a fianc¨¦.¡±
¡°Having a fianc¨¦ means that she isn¡¯t married. I still have an opportunity.¡± Ya Lun shot a loving look towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t worry. I can wait for two years.¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Her eyes were as sharp as knives.
He waspletely unapologetic as he picked up his teaching materials and left.
The students were still chattering about Ya Lun¡¯s confession. Fang Manxue reached out to take therge bouquet on Fang Xinxin¡¯s desk.
Fang Xinxin pped her hand away. ¡°What are you doing!¡±
¡°I¡¯m helping you throw them away.¡± Fang Manxue responded. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re refusing to ept it? I¡¯ll help you throw the trash away.¡±
She was truly jealous. After being the school¡¯s goddess for so long, she had received bouquets with no more than ten to twenty roses.
But never once did a man generously offer her an extravagant bouquet of 999 roses like this.
Ever since her reputation was ruined, it became even less likely for anyone to give her flowers. The sight of this bouquet was a serious eyesore.
Fang Xinxin had originally assumed that these flowers came from Ya Lun or Jiang Xingnan.
But she was now certain it wasn¡¯t Ya Lun.
Jiang Xingnan also appeared to hate her a lot. There was no way he would have bought her roses.
In that case...
Who else could it be? Was it Bai Qinghao?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it wasn¡¯t possible.
Throughout their ten years of marriage, he never bought her any flowers. How could he possibly be so romantic?
Chapter 428: Xingnan Helps Xinxin
Chapter 428: Xingnan Helps Xinxin
Fang Xinxin nced coldly at Fang Manxue. ¡°These flowers were gifted to me. It¡¯s none of your business whether or not I¡¯m tossing them away.¡±
¡°I bet you¡¯re having unfaithful thoughts and are going to let Bai Qinghao down...¡± Fang Manxue gritted her teeth in anger.
Fang Xinxin mmed her feet against her leg, causing Fang Manxue to stumble backwards onto the ground. She cried out in pain. ¡°Ah, Fang Xinxin, you kicked me!¡±
Who allowed this nasty bitch to spout nonsense?
Fang Xinxin ridiculed her coldly internally, but pretended to be frightened on the outside. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t wrong me. When did I kick you?¡±
All the students in the ss crowded around them. Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes were shiny with tears and she appeared especially pitiful. ¡°I didn¡¯t use her wrongly. Everyone, look. My leg has turned red from her kick...¡±
Hmph. Fang Xinxin must be pleased with her actions. She would ruin her reputation and show her the consequences.
She rolled her pants up and revealed a purplish, red bruise on her leg.
¡°Fang Xinxin, your second sister offered to throw the flowers for you with good intentions. No matter what, you shouldn¡¯t have kicked her, isn¡¯t it?¡± Wu Jiatong had grievances against her and immediately stood on Fang Manxue¡¯s side.
The other students appeared as though they were about to speak up as well. However, Fang Xinxin was no longer the weakling she had been in her previous life.
She immediately responded. ¡°Quit drawing conclusions on your own. Didn¡¯t you hear my second sister¡¯s nonsense? She said that I¡¯m unfaithful. Are these words you can use carelessly? When the flower shop¡¯s employee came to deliver the flowers, everyone heard that the sender didn¡¯t share his name. I have no idea who gifted these flowers. Besides...¡±
Her gaze shifted onto Fang Manxue¡¯s bruise. ¡°I already said that I didn¡¯t kick my second sister. She¡¯s the one wronging me. Who knows, she might have given herself that bruise to make up a lie.¡±
¡°Nonsense!¡± Fang Manxue was angered.
She did not expect her to refuse to own up to it. ¡°You were clearly the one who kicked me!¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly appeared to understand. ¡°I get it. Fang Manxue, you¡¯re looking for opportunities to create problems for me and to cover up your bad reputation, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Someone heard her and found that her words made sense. She spoke up for Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fang Manxue, you¡¯re in the wrong here. To think you would nder your own third sister.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t believe her!¡± Fang Manxue was flustered.
She turned to Jiang Xingnan, who was sitting right next to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Brother Nan, you must have seen what happened earlier, didn¡¯t you? Tell the truth! As long as you¡¯re the one speaking, everyone will believe you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Nan, what happened earlier?¡± Liu Dan asked. ¡°Between Fang Manxue and Fang Xinxin, who is telling the truth?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression instantly darkened.
Jiang Xingnan, this bastard, hated her so much. She was certain that he would speak up for Fang Manxue.
Now that she took a closer look at the angles, she was certain that Jiang Xingnan had clearly seen her kicking Fang Manxue earlier.
¡°Of course it¡¯s Fang Manxue...¡± Jiang Xingnan deliberately dragged his words out.
Fang Manxue immediately teared up in joy. She said with grievance in her tone, ¡°Students, look. Brother Nan is also speaking up for me...¡±
Before the crowd of students could react, Jiang Xingnan added. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s Fang Manxue who is lying. This young master personally witnessed Fang Manxue mming against the corner of the desk to falsely frame Fang Xinxin.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not expect Jiang Xingnan to help her. A hint of surprise shed past her eyes.
Looks of disdain were instantly directed at Fang Manxue. ¡°That¡¯s really low of you. You even hurt yourself to nder someone?¡±
Sun Jiamu smiled mockingly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you jump off the building and insist that Xinxin pushed you down?¡±
Chapter 429: The Relationship Between Xingnan and Hao?
Chapter 429: The Rtionship Between Xingnan and Hao?
Fang Manxue did not expect Jiang Xingnan to lie through his teeth. She trembled in anger and said, ¡°Brother Nan, you¡¯re too much!¡±
¡°You were the one who asked this young master to speak up.¡± Jiang Xingnan smiled coldly. ¡°I can¡¯t possibly help you just because Fang Xinxin is ugly, and you¡¯re a little beautiful, can I?¡±
With the way he spoke, even the people, who were suspicious, immediately changed their minds and assumed that Fang Manxue was lying.
Despite Fang Manxue¡¯s aggrieved appearance, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart did not soften in the slightest.
She was certain that the damned bitch had many more vicious schemes in her mind.
However, she had clearly expected Jiang Xingnan to stand on Fang Manxue¡¯s side, considering their conflict.
She had assumed that the ss would be split in their opinion and intended to let the students believe whatever they chose to believe.
But Jiang Xingnan¡¯s actions caused her to re-appraise him.
Since he helped her this time, from now onwards, as long as he did not provoke her again, she would forget all their previous conflicts.
Fang Manxue left the ssroom with reddened eyes. She stepped into the hallway and took a photo of the bouquet of flowers through the window.
Fang Xinxin easily noticed her actions.
Was her second sister trying to make it obvious that she was sending the photos to Bai Qinghao? She would let her do as she pleased.
At this moment, Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone pinged. It was a message from Bai Qinghao.
[Do you like them?]
Fang Xinxin was smart and immediately understood his meaning.
She responded with a question: [You bought these flowers for me?]
Bai Qinghao responded directly: [En.]
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was enveloped in a sweet joy.
She recorded a voice message for him. [¡°Bai Qinghao, why did you decide to buy me roses?¡±]
The great CEO, who was both cool and manly, finally had some romantic ideas.
His cold and heavy voice did not contain much warmth. In truth, it was because he felt threatened: [I bought them because I wanted to.]
Jiang Xingnan, that stinky little brat, clearly could notpete with him in any way. Yet, he had an edge because of him being young and simr aged as Fang Xinxin.
On the other hand, he was older than her by six years.
If any other men had dared to look at his woman, he would already have killed him.
Yesterday, he had only arranged for Jiang Xingnan to be tossed into theke to reflect on his actions. But, the old woman back home called to nag at him for more than an hour.
If Jiang Xingnan could stay obedient, he would not invite trouble for his ears again.
Fang Xinxin sweetly responded to Bai Qinghao with three words: [I love them.]
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze was sharp and he noticed her messages. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect these flowers toe from Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°There are a lot of things which you wouldn¡¯t be able to imagine.¡± Fang Xinxin shot him a look of disdain.
For example, he was seated right next to an absolute beauty yet he unknowingly addressed her as ¡®ugly¡¯ over and over again.
In a few days, when her scars fully faded and she wiped off the medicine, his face would be beaten up in humiliation.
Fang Xinxin happily hugged the bouquet, which was even bigger than her, and went out of the ssroom.
¡°Hey, Fang Xinxin, didn¡¯t you say you were throwing the roses away? That¡¯s too much of a waste. Why don¡¯t you give it to the girls in ss?¡± Someone shouted at her while she was moving out. ¡°There are 999 roses. Everyone will be able to get a small bunch if distributed properly.¡±
She waved her hand. ¡°No, this is my first time receiving flowers. I¡¯m keeping them.¡±
Jiang Xingnan looked on gloomily as she left in joy. He smashed his fist against his table in anger.
If he had known she liked roses, he would have bought ten bouquets for her!
He was prideful. Now that Bai Qinghao was one step ahead, he naturally could not use the same methods.
Fang Xinxin returned to her dormitory and was struggling as she held the bouquet.
Chapter 430: I Want You To Be Disfigured Forever
Chapter 430: I Want You To Be Disfigured Forever
Most normal vases could not hold such arge bouquet of flowers.
She decided to fill a shallow pail with water and ce the bouquet in it. She set the pail on the square table leaning against the windows.
Therge bouquet of roses was in bloom beautifully. The sunlight spilled in through the window and seemed to add a golden glow to the beautiful petals. She reached into the pail and scooped a little water to pour over the flowers. Drop by drop, the drops rolled down the deep red petals like translucent pearls and made for a stunning sight.
The light fragrance of roses instantly filled the entire room. It was a pleasing sight.
999 roses...
They seemed to represent the eternity she was fated to share with Bai Qinghao.
Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful, yet vicious expression appeared in the doorway. She saw that Fang Xinxin was actually watering the roses and pursed her lips.
She had intended to send the photo of Fang Xinxin¡¯s roses to Bai Qinghao.
However, she realised that if the roses were from Bai Qinghao, she would be delivering a p to herself.
Ever since the incident where she delivered the blood-stained sheets to Bai Qinghao, only to realise that Fang Xinxin had climbed into his bed, she grew to be much more cautious.
She deleted the photo of therge, fresh bouquet that was stirring her jealousy.
Fang Manxue decided to let Fang Xinxin off this time. She would not take the risk and send the photo to Bai Qinghao.
She then nced at the bag Fang Xinxin carried everywhere with her before turning to return to her own dormitory room.
Fang Xinxin nced at her second sister¡¯s backview and did not pay her any attention.
She entered the bathroom and closed the door before washing off the medicine on her skin.
She looked at herself in the mirror. The red marks on her gorgeous face had already faded significantly.
Just as in her previous lifetime, Doctor Shi Qian¡¯s medicine was extremely effective.
She estimated that the scars would fadepletely in three days.
Bai Qinghao would return in four days. Did that mean she would be able to wee him with her beautiful appearance?
She decided that it was best to ask about the details of how he was returning.
She wondered if he would be able to recognise her when she went to pick him up.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
She brought out the small container in her bag and re-applied ayer of medicine on her skin. Afterwards, sheid down on her bed for a short rest.
Fang Manxue stayed in the next-door room and deliberated over the bag that Fang Xinxin carried everywhere.
She had asked Wu Jiatong, who simrly lived next door, and confirmed that Fang Xinxin stored her container of skincare in that bag.
She absolutely could not allow Fang Xinxin¡¯s skin to recover.
In fact, this time, e-like bumps due to skin allergy were not enough to satisfy her.
She wanted Fang Xinxin¡¯s face to rot and to such an extent that it could never recover!
Thus, she secretly made a call to request for a medicine that could be mixed into a paste. She specified that it had to be a painless medicine that would ruin one¡¯s look for eternity.
The person responded that such a medicine would take three to four days to obtain.
Fang Manxue ended the call and smirked viciously. She had more than enough time at hand!
An hourter, during the afternoon break time, Sun Jiamu and Wu Jiatong stepped into room 201 in dormitory building D1.
¡°Wow, the roses are beautiful. The entire room smells good!¡± Sun Jiamu eximed.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Do you guys mind if I store the flowers in the dorm room?¡±
After all, the room was shared amongst the three of them. If they minded the roses, she could take it back to the Yu Ting Vi.
Chapter 431: Pretending To Be Bai Qinghao To Gift A Phone
Chapter 431: Pretending To Be Bai Qinghao To Gift A Phone
¡°I would love the flowers to be here.¡± Sun Jiamu appeared slightly envious. ¡°Even if these beautiful roses aren¡¯t mine, the sight of them pleases my heart.¡±
Although Wu Jiatong was unhappy with Fang Xinxin, she did not wish to nitpick at such a pleasing bouquet of roses. She coldly responded. ¡°Do as you like.¡±
¡°May I ask if this is Miss Fang Xinxin?¡± A young woman dressed in an employee¡¯s uniform knocked against the dormitory door.
¡°I am.¡± She asked in confusion. ¡°What is it?¡±
¡°This phone was bought as a gift for you. A customer has paid for it. Please sign and receive it.¡±
Wu Jiatong ran over to see. ¡°Wow. It¡¯s a DX8. This phone is worth $1,600.¡± She shot Fang Xinxin a look of jealousy. ¡°What kind of luck do you have? There are people gifting you flowers and a phone.¡±
Sun Jiamu nced at the old phone that Fang Xinxin was using. ¡°Xinxin, your phone is so old. You must have used it for several years now. It even breaks down every so often. It¡¯s time you reced it.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± She nodded.
However, there was a special reason behind her current decision to keep it. She already had money and would already have reced it otherwise.
She asked the employee. ¡°May I know who bought this phone for me?¡±
The employee responded quickly. ¡°It is from Mr. Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°Wah! Xinxin, your fianc¨¦ really treats you too well.¡± Sun Jiamu sighed. ¡°The roses must have been from him as well. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have ced them so nicely in the pail.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned and responded directly to the female employee. ¡°I cannot receive this phone. Please take it back to your shop.¡±
¡°Mr. Bai said that it¡¯s for you. He¡¯ll be upset if you don¡¯t ept it.¡±
¡°He is a bastard. He has been clinging onto me and there¡¯s a possibility that he might even do something to harm me. Please take the phone back.¡±
¡°But...¡± The employee hesitated.
Fang Xinxin added. ¡°If something happens to me after I receive this phone, will you take responsibility?¡±
When the employee heard this, she finally left with the phone.
Wu Jiatong mocked her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you should learn to be content. Bai Qinghao treats you so well. He even bought you flowers and a phone. How could you say that he is a bastard and that he wants to hurt you?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t run your mouth off if you¡¯recking in brain cells.¡± Fang Xinxin sneered coldly. ¡°The flowers are from Bai Qinghao. But the phone definitely isn¡¯t.¡±
When Bai Qinghao wanted to buy her a car, he went ahead and bought ten luxury-branded ones.
He was generous to the point where the receiver would vomit blood in excitement.
She had seen the brand logo on the unopened box which the employee was holding. It was an imitation product.
First of all, based on her deduction, Bai Qinghao would never buy such a cheap phone for her.
Secondly, even if Bai Qinghao decided to be a little thrifty, he would never buy an imitation product.
Thus, she was certain that someone was using Bai Qinghao¡¯s name to buy her a phone. The person was trying to trick her into epting it.
¡°If it isn¡¯t from Bai Qinghao, who is it from?¡± Wu Jiatong was extremely curious.
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Although Fang Xinxin responded this way, she headed for the balcony and watched as the female employee left in a sedan car.
She memorised the car te number and sent Chi Minzhe a message: [Arrange for someone to follow the woman who is driving away from my school dormitory. Her car te number is XX412. Find out who exactly purchased a phone from her.]
He responded with an ¡®OK¡¯ emoji.
Thirty minutester, Chi Minzhe responded with a photo.
Chapter 432: Disdainful Imposters
Chapter 432: Disdainful Imposters
Before Fang Xinxin could open the message, Sun Jiamu approached her. ¡°My dear, who do you think pretended to be your fianc¨¦ to buy you a phone?¡±
¡°No matter what, it won¡¯t be Ya Lun.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Sun Jiamu deliberated over this. ¡°The possibility is actually rather high.¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°Most teachers would do it secretly if they wanted to pursue a student, but Ya Lun is making such an obvious fuss about it. With his personality, it¡¯s unlike him to impersonate someone else.¡±
That was unless Ya Lun had a special mission and needed to do so.
There was absolutely no need to do this over a simple phone.
¡°It must be Brother Nan, then?¡± Sun Jiamu making guesses.
Fang Xinxin found this strange. ¡°Why do you think it¡¯s Jiang Xingnan?¡±
¡°He likes you.¡± Based on Sun Jiamu¡¯s tone, she was absolutely certain about this.
¡°That can¡¯t be.¡±
¡°Believe me.¡± Sun Jiamu shot her a flirtatious look. ¡°It¡¯s easier for an outsider to see the full picture. Whenever I¡¯m with you, we always bump into Jiang Xingnan. But I¡¯ve never met him when I¡¯m alone. Although we may asionally brush shoulders, he doesn¡¯t seem to ever notice me.¡±
¡°But Jiang Xingnan has helped you twice in front of everyone...¡± She brought up her deliberations.
Sun Jiamu tugged Fang Xinxin back into the dorm. Since Wu Jiatong had already left, it was convenient for them to speakfortably. ¡°At first, I misunderstood it as well. But I realised that on both asions when he stood up for me, I was defending you. In other words, you¡¯re the person Jiang Xingnan was actually trying to help.¡±
¡°If you say it that way, it seems to make sense...¡±
¡°What do you mean by that? It obviously makes sense.¡± Sun Jiamu was certain. ¡°You don¡¯t know this but yesterday, a boy cut into my line when I was queuing to buy food at the cafeteria. Jiang Xingnan stood right by my side when I was being bullied yet he didn¡¯t give me a single look. Does that sound like something a boy, who likes me, would do?¡±
Fang Xinxin was distracted by a different point. ¡°Who bullied you? Tell me. I¡¯ll throw snakes at him!¡±
¡°My dear, you¡¯re too good to me. I¡¯m so moved!¡± Sun Jiamu embraced her. ¡°There¡¯s no need. He didn¡¯t manage to cut into my queue. Everyone around him was unhappy with him. He ran away with his tail between his legs.¡±
Fang Xinxin patted her shoulder. ¡°Everyone thinks that Jiang Xingnan likes you. Won¡¯t you be upset if he actually likes me?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to be angry about? I don¡¯t have any interest in Jiang Xingnan.¡± Sun Jiamu continued apologetically. ¡°I only just noticed that Jiang Xingnan likes you. I previously allowed everyone to misunderstand because... I can¡¯t beat Wu Jiatong in a physical fight. It would reduce my troubles if she assumed Brother Nan is protecting me.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m protecting you.¡± Fang Xinxin responded seriously. ¡°Whoever dares to touch you, I¡¯ll take away half of their lives.¡±
¡°Uuu...¡± Sun Jiamu pretended to cry. ¡°My dear sister, I¡¯m moved to tears.¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s move onto more serious topics. Jiang Xingnan is a prideful person. He may send a gift anonymously, but he would never do so with someone else¡¯s name.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship with Sun Jiamu was improving. Thus, she did not hide this from her. ¡°I¡¯ve already investigated the person¡¯s identity. We¡¯ll know once we take a look at this.¡±
She then opened her WeChat conversation with Chi Minzhe to check the photo he had sent.
It was a photo taken in a mobile phone shop. The female employee from earlier stood behind a ss counter to hand the unopened phone from earlier to a handsome, young man.
Although the photo was taken from the side, she easily recognised the man.
Chapter 433: More And More Intelligent
Chapter 433: More And More Intelligent
Sun Jiamu leaned in to look at the photo. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Bai Chenxi?¡±
Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°So you¡¯ve also recognised him.¡±
Sun Jiamu frowned. ¡°What is Bai Chenxi trying to do? He actually used Bai Qinghao¡¯s name to buy you a phone. Oh, I understand it now! He knows that you won¡¯t ept his gift unless he does this.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Sun Jiamu smiled. ¡°He definitely didn¡¯t expect you to reject his gift even after all this trouble.¡± She winked at her mischievously. ¡°My dear, how are you so smart?¡±
Fang Xinxin was slightly proud. ¡°That¡¯s because I possess a human brain.¡±
¡°Puhaha...¡±
The room was filled with Sun Jiamu¡¯sughter. Fang Xinxin¡¯s mood also got better with the noise.
In her previous life, she never had any friends. In this life, she learned that having friends was truly a wonderful feeling.
Sigh! She was truly too foolish in the past. Back then, she would never have figured it out.
The longer one lived, the smarter one tended to be.
Late afternoon, Fang Xinxin left the dormitory building and headed for the grassy area by the schoolke.
Jiang Xingnan stood in one of the school buildings to track Fang Xinxin¡¯s movements with his binocrs.
He took in the direction that she was headed for and rushed to arrive by thekeside before her. He thenid down on the grass.
There were groups of two to three students sittingfortably on the grass. Some of them were reading, some were sunbathing and the others were chatting.
Fang Xinxin found afortable position to sit down.
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s unhappy voice suddenly rang by her side. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how do I end up meeting an ugly woman like you all the time?¡±
Fang Xinxin finally noticed Jiang Xingnanying behind arge, man-made boulder.
She pursed her lips. As she recalled her earlier conversation with Sun Jiamu, she suddenly ridiculed him. ¡°Indeed, Jiang Xingnan. Why is it that I keep seeing a bastard like you at every turn?¡±
¡°I must be too unlucky.¡± His expression clearly conveyed his disdain.
¡°I see you at least five to six times a day. How could there possibly be these many coincidences?¡± She suddenly smiled mockingly. ¡°Jiang Xingnan, could it be that you like me?¡±
Jiang Xingnan did not expect to be seen through this easily. A suspicious flush appeared on his youthful, handsome features. He stubbornly insisted. ¡°Who would have feelings for you? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror!¡±
¡°Fine. You don¡¯t like me.¡± Fang Xinxin immediately nodded. ¡°I¡¯m warning you. You better not have any feelings for me. If you ever have feelings for me, you would be a dog.¡±
¡°Tsk!¡± He waved his hand. ¡°Quit dreaming. Even if I¡¯m single for the rest of my life, I would never have feelings for you.¡±
¡°Hu...¡± She let out a sigh of relief. ¡°That puts me at ease. Remember, don¡¯t buy any gifts for me.¡±
He had only just finished preparing gifts for her...
¡°Otherwise, you¡¯ll no longer be a human. You¡¯ll be a dog.¡± She smiled happily, ready to leave.
Jiang Xingnan red harshly at her back view.
He wished he could p her to death. This ugly woman even saw through his ns to send her gifts.
¡°Fuck, who does Fang Xinxin think she is? She must be delusional.¡± Some of the students by the side could not stand watching the scene any longer. ¡°How could Brother Nan possibly have feelings for her?¡±
A female student who was familiar with Jiang Xingnan¡¯s reputation spoke up. ¡°Our Brother Nan is one of the most attractive boys in our school. Everyone knows that he only likes beautiful girls. Even if he fell for a pig, he would never fall for Fang Xinxin...¡±
Several other students around them heard her andughed.
But Jiang Xingnan became angry. ¡°What are you talking about? If your brain isn¡¯t working, jump into theke to clear your mind.¡±
Chapter 434: Painful Memories (Part 1)
Chapter 434: Painful Memories (Part 1)
He proceeded to kick that female student straight into theke. She actually said he had feelings for a pig?
He could not let her off!
¡°Ahh, help me, I can¡¯t swim!¡± That female student struggled in theke.
Several other boys standing there knew how to swim but did not dare to help her.
Brother Nan was a tyrannical figure in the school. Anyone who dared to save the people whom he had kicked would have to face the consequences.
The female student struggled in theke and began reflecting on her behaviour. ¡°Brother Nan, I was wrong... You do like Fang Xinxin...¡±
¡°Who asked you to talk about that?¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s expression was stiff. ¡°Continue reflecting!¡±
¡°I-I shouldn¡¯t have... been a busybody...¡± She choked on the water and began struggling as her body grew heavy.
Jiang Xingnan made a gesture and a bodyguard appeared out of nowhere. He jumped into theke and scooped the female student out.
The female student coughed repeatedly. She was thoroughly soaked.
Jiang Xingnan made another gesture. The bodyguard then respectfully bowed and hid away once more.
¡°Brother Nan, you... you even brought a bodyguard along with you?¡±
¡°None of your business.¡± Jiang Xingnan walked away darkly.
He didn¡¯t n on keeping a bodyguard with him. However, yesterday, Bai Qinghao¡¯s people had tossed him straight into theke.
He was depressed to death after the episode.
Thus, he felt that it was safer to keep a bodyguard with him.
However, he understood clearly that all of Bai Qinghao¡¯s people were well-trained.
If Bai Qinghao truly wanted to take care of him, no amount of bodyguards could keep him away from harm.
For the next three days, Teacher Ya Lun began openly gifting flowers to Fang Xinxin. However, the flowers he chose were carnations.
He imed that they represented friendship.
He wanted to pursue her by first forming a friendship. He could not make a hasty move and use roses which represented love.
The news that Teacher Ya Lun had feelings for her instantly spread through the entire school.
Fang Xinxin refused to ept his flowers and tossed them away right in front of his eyes.
Aside from the ssroom, she did note into contact with Ya Lun at all.
On the evening of the fourth day, Fang Manxue received the secret news that Bai Qinghao was returning one day early!
Furthermore, it seemed like he wanted to give Fang Xinxin a surprise since he did not inform her of his early return.
Fang Manxue smiled darkly.
In dormitory building D1, room 201, Fang Xinxin stood at the balcony to watch the moon.
It was enveloped by dark clouds. Cold wind blew past her every so often. It seemed like a big storm was about toe.
She recalled that in her previous life, on this night, her phone quickly lost it¡¯s signal around this time.
Afterwards, when she left the school to buy snacks, someone had covered her mouth and nose firmly from behind. By the time she woke up, she was in a hotel room. At the time, she was only dressed in her underwear. Jiang Xingnanid right on top of her with an expression of anger and disgust.
¡°Fang Xinxin, you whore, you actually dared to drug me!¡± At the time, Jiang Xingnan¡¯s eyes had been bloodshot.
She could still recall the way he had shouted at her in anger. ¡°You think you can seduce me with that fat and ugly figure of yours? Let me tell you, even if you force me through such methods, you¡¯ll always remain disgusting to me!¡±
At the time, she had been unable muster any strength. Her entire body also seemed to be burning up.
She could barely see Jiang Xingnan¡¯s face and had even assumed that his voice was a hallucination.
Right then, Bai Qinghao had suddenly charged into the room and tossed Jiang Xingnan out.
Afterwards, Bai Qinghao went mad. He had forcefully picked her up and interrogated her. ¡°Is one Bai Chenxi not enough? How could you be shameless to the point of going around to seduce men like this?¡±
¡°Is Jiang Xingnan stronger than me? Or is Bai Chenxi better than me? How could you be so low!¡±
She had been forcefully taken...
Even after so many years, she could still recall the way Bai Qinghao had spoken at the time.
Chapter 435: Painful Memories (Part 2)
Chapter 435: Painful Memories (Part 2)
When she woke up the next morning, Bai Qinghao had already left.
At the time, she knew very well that someone had schemed against her!
She had wanted to confess to Bai Qinghao that she did not seduce Jiang Xingnan, and intended to request him to investigate this matter. However, she did not see him for many days after the incident.
When she went to the Yu Ting Vi, a bodyguard informed her that the Commander refused to see her.
Now that she thought about it, hadn¡¯t that bodyguard been Li Bingpan?
He was another person whom her second sister had bribed.
It was only muchter that she learned that Bai Qinghao nearly went insane because of this matter.
His heart had previously suffered an injury. His condition would not worsen as long as he took care not to be overly agitated.
However, this matter caused his emotions to be overwhelmed. He was angered to the point where he had to be hospitalised several times. After this episode, he nearly lost his life.
He waited every single day for her exnation. He even sent people to the Fang family to spread the word that as long as she was willing to exin, he would choose to believe her!
However, someone from the Fang family had passed a message on her behalf, iming that she hated Bai Qinghao. They had informed him that Fang Xinxin herself said she would sleep with all the men in this world except for him!
At first, Bai Qinghao did not believe that she would say such a thing. He had wanted to interrogate her face-to-face.
However, soon after Bai Qinghao received a message from her phone. The contents of the message simrly stated that she would ept any men in the world but him.
As for Jiang Xingnan, after he was tossed out of the room, he could not endure the effects of the drug and immediately searched for one of thedies working there. He then quickly resolved his needs.
Simrly, he grew to hate her even more after the event.
Fang Xinxin snapped out of her memories.
She nced at her phone. There was an hour till it was 8:30 in the evening. Her phone would then lose it¡¯s signalpletely.
Her phone was truly too old. The signal tended to fade off at times.
In her previous lifetime, it was only after she returned to the Fang home that she was able to use her phone.
Now that she deliberated over it, she felt that this matter waspletely unrted to her phone¡¯s signal.
Instead...
Someone had impersonated her to make another phone card with the same phone number. In a big city like Beijing, most of the mobile phone businesses only closed after 9pm.
When the new phone card was made, the phone card in her phone instantly became trash.
The only way to make a new phone card was to provide one¡¯s identity card as proof. Who would have the ability to do so?
Her identity card was previously kept at the Fang family, yet for strange reasons, it disappeared.
At that time, she had been unable to find it despite all her efforts.
As she didn¡¯t have many possessions to her name, she had assumed that there wouldn¡¯t be much harm to losing her identity card.
But someone had taken it to scheme against her.
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes and continued analysing her memories from her past life. She guessed that someone had tricked Jiang Xingnan intoing to that hotel room with her.
It must have been done with her phone number as well.
As she thought about this, she made a call to Jiang Xingnan.
The phone only rang twice before Jiang Xingnan¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°Fang Xinxin, did you take the wrong medicine? You¡¯re actually calling me?¡±
He tried his best to soundposed but Fang Xinxin caught a hint of excitement in his voice.
¡°Jiang Xingnan, listen to me.¡± Fang Xinxin responded seriously. ¡°Later, no matter who uses my phone number to send you a message, no matter where you are told to go, you¡¯re not allowed to go!¡±
¡°Eh... what are you up to?¡± He was confused.
¡°Just listen to me.¡±
¡°Why do I have to listen to you?¡± The boy¡¯s voice suddenly turned slightly cruel.
Fang Xinxin rubbed her forehead in pain. How was she supposed to exin this without making him suspicious of her ability to know what would happen in the future?
Chapter 436: Changing Their Life Trajectories
Chapter 436: Changing Their Life Trajectories
This bastard! She was trying to protect his body. Why was he being so uncooperative?
There was no way she could fool his intellect and scheming ways with a careless lie.
Thus, she revealed half of the truth. ¡°My identity card has been stolen by the Fang family. I suspect that they n to steal my phone number.¡±
¡°How is that rted to me?¡± Jiang Xingnan was confused.
¡°Fang Manxue¡¯s reputation has been ruined. She ns on hooking a rich husband. Her goal has been temporarily fixed on you.¡± She replied quickly. ¡°A few days ago, after you kicked a female student into theke, she went around spreading the news that you have feelings for me. It¡¯s already reached the entire school. I heard the Fang family discussing this among themselves earlier. They n on asking Fang Manxue to call you out with my phone number. They¡¯re making a n for you and my second sister to sleep together at a hotel.¡±
¡°Why are you telling me these things?¡± Jiang Xingnan smirked yfully. ¡°Could it be that you can¡¯t bear that your second sister and I be an item?¡±
¡°Forget it. Do as you like.¡± She hung up the call with a frown.
At most, Jiang Xingnan would end upnding with a random hostess at the hotel.
It was fine even if he grew to hate her the same way that he used to, in the past.
She had already warned him regarding this matter. She had no other responsibility towards him.
A minuteter, Jiang Xingnan called her back. ¡°Fang Xinxin, when will you regain the use of your phone number?¡±
¡°Tomorrow afternoon at around 2.¡± She then ended the call swiftly.
She hoped that Jiang Xingnan would not lose his chastity tonight.
¡°Fang Xinxin, you ugly, fat whore! It¡¯s all your fault! If it wasn¡¯t for you, how could this old man possibly touch a hostess... and how could I possibly lose my chastity that I¡¯ve been protecting for more than twenty years!¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s enraged voice seemed to rey in her mind.
If this happened again, she would certainlyugh at him. What was a man doing speaking about his chastity?
It wasn¡¯t as if he had actually lost anything.
However, muchter, she learned that despite Jiang Xingnan¡¯s reputation as a tyrant in school, he had never dated anyone. Even his first kiss was intact.
Furthermore, he was extremely picky and was unable to ept any random women.
Muchter, she identally saw Jiang Xingnan visiting Doctor Shi Qian. Thankfully, he did not fall ill.
However, that woman had a bad breath and the experience left a scar in his heart. Since then, he was never able to hold a woman again.
Sigh.
Even till the day she died, she never heard about Jiang Xingnan being attached to anyone.
In this life, she simply wanted this young man to avoid the tragedy which he had been previously caught up in.
Fang Xinxin felt that this was considered as a good deed.
She had tried her best. It was none of her business if Jiang Xingnan refused to listen.
She closed her eyes and tried her utmost to recall any other events that could possibly happenter...
However, she realised that after she had been drugged, and after Bai Qinghao tossed Jiang Xingnan out, she could not recall anything else but about the time when she was taken by Bai Qinghao.
She felt that she had to be missing something...
In that case, she would repeat the eventster.
This way, she would be able to see everything clearly.
Fang Xinxin checked her phone. It was now 8:30 already.
Just like in her past life, her phone was unable to receive any signal.
She was somewhat hungry.
She headed towards the same food stall right outside the school. As she turned around a corner, a figure suddenly appeared behind her and pressed a white towel against her nose.
At that time, she had identally breathed in the chemicals and lost consciousness.
Chapter 437: Role Playing
Chapter 437: Role ying
This time, she held her breath and pretended to struggle before ¡®losing¡¯ her consciousness.
The moment she fainted, a short, slender man lifted her onto his shoulder and ran around the corner, into a van.
The driver immediately started the car and began driving out of school.
The man tossed Fang Xinxin into the backseat and sprinkled a little Bai Jiu over her.
In an instant, the van was filled with the scent of alcohol.
¡°Monkey, will we get into trouble for doing this?¡± The driver seemed a little apprehensive.
Aside from the driver, Fang Xinxin and the man who had caught her were the only ones in the car. Thetter was most likely being referred to as Monkey.
¡°The useless surveince cameras have been disabled. But I¡¯m meeting someone new today. I can¡¯t be bothered to touch this one.¡±
¡°How did you meet this new girl of yours?¡±
¡°Of course it was in the red light district!¡±
The two chatted for a while without holding back. They seemed quite confident that Fang Xinxin was unconscious.
In fact, Fang Xinxin was fully awake. She had only pretended to faint.
Who exactly had hired them? She truly did not have any useful evidence.
She waited patiently and when the two men were distracted, she ced a bug around the size of a fingernail beneath the car seat.
Ten minutester, the van came to a stop in front of a hotel.
The man named Monkey supported the ¡®unconscious¡¯ Fang Xinxin out of the car and headed directly into the hotel.
As he made his way through the lounge, one of the staff noticed him and approached him. ¡°Sir, do you need any help?¡±
¡°My girlfriend is drunk. It¡¯ll be fine once I help her to her room.¡± Monkey carelessly found an excuse.
¡°I won¡¯t disturb you any further, then.¡± The staff noticed the strong stench of alcohol and did not suspect anything.
It was all toomon for men to bring intoxicated women to the hotel.
Fang Xinxin was supported into the elevator before they made their way into a hotel room. He then carelessly shoved her onto the bed.
He brought his phone out and dialled a number. He said simply, ¡°The person has been delivered into the room.¡±
He ended the call right after.
Fang Xinxin was certain that he nned to take off her clothes.
But she did not wish for her body to be exposed to be a stranger.
When Monkey approached to touch her shoulder, Fang Xinxin opened her eyes and caught his gaze.
Monkey was instantly caught by her hypnosis ability.
¡°I have taken Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes off andpleted my mission,¡± Fang Xinxin said. Monkey was ssy-eyed as he repeated her words.
Fang Xinxin reached for Monkey¡¯s phone to check the number that he dialled earlier.
Fuck! The call record had been wiped clean.
This man was quite alert. He deleted the number right after making the call.
She stuffed the phone back in his hands and shifted under the nkets before taking off her clothes. She then tossed them onto the floor.
Her eyes turned cold again.
Monkey slowly regained his awareness. He nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist poking out of sheets and the clothes scattered across the ground.
The words he spoke earlier reyed in his mind.
Chapter 438: Will you come?
Chapter 438: Will youe?
Monkey did not suspect anything. He turned to leave the hotel room and pretended to close the door whilst leaving it slightly ajar.
...
At the same time, Jiang Xingnan received a message from Fang Xinxin¡¯s number: [Smelly Breath Jiang, Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, Room 615. Let¡¯s have a proper battle. Do you have the guts toe?]
Jiang Xingnan stared at the message. It was a clear and open seduction.
Although Dan Feng Bai Lu hotel was not a particrly luxurious option in the city centre, it¡¯s conditions weren¡¯t bad. It was especially known to be visited by guests for one night stands.
He recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s slender, attractive figure. Her skin was fair and her body was voluptuous. The youth instantly felt his blood heating up.
Furthermore, he had feelings for Fang Xinxin and dearly wished to go see her.
However, Fang Xinxin had called him earlier to say that Fang Manxue intended on using her number. In fact, this was a message from Fang Manxue.
He did not wish to have Fang Manxue, that hypocritical whore, clinging onto him.
He stared at the message with some regret and did not reply.
[Smelly Breath Jiang, are you a fucking man? Your mother has already opened the room. Do youck the guts toe?]
Another message came through.
Jiang Xingnan smiled mockingly.
The message imitated that ugly Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone quite well.
It was a pity. Fang Xinxin would never have asked him out to a hotel.
He was quite curious to see what exactly was happening in room 615.
However, he recalled that Fang Xinxin had instructed him not to go there, no matter what.
Although he had argued with her earlier, he did not want to go against her wishes.
Normally, he drew enough frustration from her for the sake of catching her attention.
He feared that if he let his curiosity get the best of him now, he would worsen her dislike for him.
Besides, he had absolutely no interest in Fang Manxue. He was rich, tall and handsome. Normally, he had more than enough women hoping to sleep with him.
[Are youing or not! Say something, human!]
The messages were relentless.
Jiang Xingnan was slightly provoked. Fang Manxue, this whore, was really a slut!
He dialled a number in anger and was prepared to scold her thoroughly. Yet, the call was not answered even after a long wait.
She didn¡¯t even have the courage to pick up the call. It was clear that this was not Fang Xinxin herself.
He sent a message in reply: [I¡¯m not interested in you. Scram!]
The person on the other end was really Fang Manxue. She stared at his reply and waspletely taken off guard by this development.
Jiang Xingnan had hidden feelings for Fang Xinxin. She had assumed this to be an easy feat.
She could not afford to dy this any further.
She initially nned on fooling Jiang Xingnan to Dan Feng Hotel in room 615 to have a good ¡®celebration¡¯ with Fang Xinxin before informing Bai Qinghao to go watch the show. This way, Fang Xinxin could be forever kicked off from the Madam Bai seat.
Monkey had already brought Fang Xinxin to the hotel room. He even made sure that she was unconscious. This matter would be much more difficult if Fang Xinxin was on her guard.
Fang Manxue absolutely could not waste such a good opportunity.
Besides...
If her third sister didn¡¯t have any men to resolve her fire, she would be in serious trouble...
Since she couldn¡¯t move Jiang Xingnan, she immediately changed her target.
She imitated Fang Xinxin¡¯s way of speech to send Bai Chenxi a message: [I¡¯m sorry, Chenxi. My attitude was really poor previously. In fact, I¡¯ve always loved and admired you. I gave you the cold-shoulder intentionally to upset you. I¡¯ve realised my mistake. I¡¯m at Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, in room 615. I drank too much. I really wish to... will youe?]
Bai Chenxi responded really quickly.
He sounded extremely agitated: [Xinxin, do you mean it?]
Chapter 439: Be There Immediately
Chapter 439: Be There Immediately
[[I mean it. I don¡¯t have any feelings for Bai Qinghao. Even the sight of him disgusts me. You¡¯re the only person in my heart. I can¡¯t wait any longer. Hurry ande here!]
[I¡¯ll be there immediately!]
Fang Manxue read the message and smirked viciously.
There was a ¡®good show¡¯ing soon!
She stood around the corner outside the Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel and watched Bai Chenxi make his way inside the hotel.
Right after, she sent a message to Bai Qinghao with Fang Xinxin¡¯s number: [Chenxi, didn¡¯t I say I was drunk? I¡¯m at Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, in room 615. Why aren¡¯t you here yet?]
She pretended that it was a message sent to the wrong number.
It was a message from Fang Xinxin¡¯s number. She was certain that Bai Qinghao would read it as soon as he could.
He surely wouldn¡¯t have expected that, on the very day he returned from his business trip, his fianc¨¦e would betray him!
She could almost imagine Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger when he read the message.
Hahaha!
Fang Manxue beganughing internally.
Why didn¡¯t she think of Bai Chenxi earlier as a more suitable optionpared to Jiang Xingnan?
After all, Bai Chenxi was Fang Xinxin¡¯s old crush. It was more than normal for old feelings to be re-ignited.
This was not all. She had already arranged for a specific drug to be ced inside the room.
Any man who stepped in would lose his rationality and go insane if he did not do ¡®it¡¯.
The moment Fang Xinxin formed such a rtionship with Bai Chenxi, Fang Manxue was certain that Bai Qinghao would no longer want her.
Tonight, she not only nned to ruin Fang Xinxin¡¯s future with Bai Qinghao, but to kill two birds with one stone!
She was about to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman. The more she thought about this, the more excited she became!
An SUV was driving quickly on the road.
Bai Qinghao sat in the backseat expressionlessly. He was on his way back to the city centre.
Originally, his work was supposed to take five days toplete. He had worked day and night to rush through his work and return one day early. This was all to have more time with Fang Xinxin.
He wanted to surprise her and did not inform her of his early return.
She would surely be pleased to see him, wouldn¡¯t she?
Earlier in the day, during their video call, she had informed him with her sweet voice that she missed him.
At the time, his frozen heart had melted into something warm and soft.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I miss you too!¡± He whispered to himself quietly.
The car headed for a crossroad ahead and was about to turn in the direction of Yu Ting Vi when hemanded with a heavy voice. ¡°Head to Jing Hua University.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± The chauffeur, Li Bingpan, responded.
Ding...
Bai Qinghao received a new message from Fang Xinxin.
He read the contents of the message and realised that she had actually asked Bai Chenxi to a hotel room. The message was clearly sent incorrectly to his number.
His cold, frigid gaze instantly seemed to gather a powerful storm. He brought his phone out and immediately gave Fang Xinxin a call.
The call was not answered.
His expression became enraged.
Could it be that she had really drunk too much and sent the message to him by ident?
He was certain that when it came to feelings, Fang Xinxin would never betray him.
However, logically speaking, for the past ten years, Fang Xinxin had consistently avoided and hated him.
It was only muchter then she began treating him positively.
His feelings for her were too strong. If this message contained even the slightest hint of truth, he wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it!
Bai Qinghao tapped on the bluetoothmunication system installed in the car and instructed coldly. ¡°Send someone to Jing Hua University. Check if Fang Xinxin is at the dormitory.¡±
Afterpleting thatmand, he stared at his phone screen darkly.
He sent Fang Xinxin a message on WeChat: [Where are you?]
However, he did not receive any response.
At Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, in Room 615, Fang Xinxin waited for Monkey to leave and immediately put her clothes back on.
Chapter 440: Arrived At The Hotel
Chapter 440: Arrived At The Hotel
She then installed a pinhole camera behind the television.
After a few minutes, she noticed something to be amiss.
There was a strange, light fragrance in the air.
Most hotels used a form of aromatherapy. Initially, she had thought this to be the case. However, she quickly noticed that her body was growing weak and heated. Even her heartbeat seemed to be elerating.
It was clear that there were ¡®drugs¡¯ in this room. She could not remain in here any longer.
Back then, she had clearly been drugged while she was knocked unconscious. There hadn¡¯t been anything wrong with the room.
It seemed like there were some changes in this life¡¯s trajectories.
In that case, given that she had stopped Jiang Xingnan froming, could a different man show up in this room?
After all, she was 99.99% certain that this was done by Fang Manxue.
Didn¡¯t Fang Manxue intend for Bai Qinghao to witness her betrayal? In that case, it did not matter who the other party was.
Initially, she had nned to wait for Bai Qinghao here after ensuring Jiang Xingnan wouldn¡¯te.
It seemed like the n would need to undergo a change. It was likely that another man would show up before Bai Qinghao could.
Furthermore, her body was extremely weak right now. She did not have the ability to defend herself.
She could not take this risk.
In her previous life, on this night, she had been extremely helpless.
Although Bai Qinghao was here in time, and she was not actually taken by Jiang Xingnan, afterwards, she ended up doing it with Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao had been abnormally angered. His rage had harmed his heart.
Even till muchter, the misunderstanding that she had the habit of sleeping carelessly with men was never resolved.
For the subsequent ten years of their marriage, she was often forcefully locked up by Bai Qinghao.
Thankfully, with the experiences from her past life, she was well-prepared tonight.
The moment she realised there were drugs in her room, she held her breath and didn¡¯t inhale anymore of it.
She mustered her strength to stand up and staggered out of the room.
After leaving room 615, she began putting her back-up n into action.
She brought a room card out of her pocket and unlocked room 639 across from the original room. She had prepared this beforehand.
A woman with a simr figure as hers was waiting inside room 639. She was dressed in the same clothes as her and her face was covered with ayer of medicinal paste. When she saw Fang Xinxin, she nodded and headed straight into room 615.
Fang Xinxin smirked. Given that her second sister, Fang Manxue, had created such an borate trap for her, she naturally wouldn¡¯t waste her sister¡¯s efforts.
She would go along with her second sister¡¯s wishes and allow Bai Qinghao to personally witness ¡®Fang Xinxin¡¯s¡¯ betrayal.
Fang Xinxin held her breath in anticipation and caught the noise of a man¡¯s footsteps in the hallway.
She heard someone knocking against room 615¡¯s door. A momentter, Bai Chenxi¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯ming in!¡± Soon after, she heard the door opening and closing shut.
Fang Xinxin sat down on the bed in room 639 and turned her phone on. She first tapped on WeChat and saw that Bai Qinghao had sent her a message fifteen minutes ago.
[Where are you?]
She smiled lightly.
Bai Qinghao must have received a message from Fang Manxue about her meeting with a man at the hotel.
He actually reached out on WeChat to ask her about her whereabouts? It seemed that he was improving.
Perhaps, if she responded right now, Bai Qinghao would believe her.
However, just as Jiang Xingnan had said, the position of Madam Bai wasn¡¯t an easy ce to upy.
The Bai family was powerful and influential. They had too many enemies. Bai Qinghao was also unbelievably handsome and was one of the wealthiest men in this world. There were countless women waiting to fill up the space after forcing her aside.
Any careless scheme from a third party could easily cause rifts between the two of them.
Chapter 441: Already His
Chapter 441: Already His
Although their rtionship had improved significantly, it couldn¡¯t be discounted that she had avoided and hated him for more than ten years.
The perception that she would leave him anytime wasn¡¯t something that could be removed so easily.
She needed to work on building the trust between the two of them.
She wanted him to understand that even if he personally witnessed her with a man on the bed, it wouldn¡¯t be the truth.
Fang Xinxin resisted the urge to respond to Bai Qinghao¡¯s WeChat message.
She reached for theptop that she had arranged to be kept on the bedside table and clicked on an application. The situation inside room 615 was instantly and clearly disyed on the screen.
¡°Xinxin, I never thought you would send such a message to me.¡± Bai Chenxi climbed onto the bed in a hurry and embraced the woman on the bed.
The woman¡¯s figure was simr to that of Fang Xinxin. She was dressed in the same clothes and had the same hairstyle. Even her face was covered in medicine. Thus, he did not suspect anything.
He confessed to her emotionally. ¡°I knew from the start that you¡¯ve always loved me the most!¡±
The woman remained silent.
Bai Chenxi immediately began taking advantage of her. He said affectionately, ¡°Your figure has be really good ever since you lost weight. I really want to... will you give yourself to me?¡±
The woman pretended to resist. In truth however, the drugs in the room left her weak and willing.
At the thought that he would soon possess Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman, it wasn¡¯t clear if it was due to the medicine or his own excitement, but Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression grew agitated. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I love you, I love you!¡±
He tore her clothes open whilst expressing his feelings. ¡°I was wrong. I made you suffer too much grievance by letting you stay by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. In the future, let¡¯s always be together behind his back, alright?¡±
He then took off his clothes. As he took in the sight of the woman whose face was covered in a medicinal paste, perhaps he found it to be a little ufortable.
He reached for the light switch and shut it. The well-lit room instantly turned dimmed and was filled with a soft, red light. The atmosphere also turned ambiguous.
This hotel was a famous love hotel. Even the lights were specially chosen to meet the customers¡¯ needs. All sorts of adjustments could be made to it.
Bai Chenxi had been frustrated by his progress with Fang Xinxin. Hence, he did not waste any time...
Fang Xinxin watched on herptop as things developed further between Bai Chenxi and that woman.
She shifted her gaze away in disgust.
Although Bai Chenxi¡¯s figure wasn¡¯t poor, he was too skinny. Compared to Bai Qinghao¡¯s perfect, masculine and muscr figure, the difference was akin to that of heaven and earth.
It had been a long time since she watched an adult video. This live version wasn¡¯t too bad.
At this moment, she heard a rush of footsteps from the hallway.
Following which, room 615¡¯s door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure appeared right at the entrance.
When his sharp gazended on the couple on the bed, his frigid expression seemed to crack. A heavy murderous intent filled the room.
The ambiguous atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly.
Following which, a terrifying pressure filled the room. It was as though the death god himself was here.
Bai Chenxi immediately rolled off the bed and stared at Bai Qinghao in fright. He spoke up with a trembling voice. ¡°C... cousin, why are you here!¡±
The woman on the bed also tugged the sheets over herself. She trembled in fear.
Fang Manxue stood by the doorway and eximed in disbelief. ¡°Third Sister, you... why are you sleeping with Bai Chenxi? And, it seems like you¡¯re already his!¡±
The actual Fang Xinxin was inside room 639. She watched as the events unfolded in room 615.
No wonder she felt as though she had forgotten something.
It turned out that her second sister, Fang Manxue, had also appeared at the door.
Chapter 442: Found
Chapter 442: Found
In her previous life, she had been half-conscious on the bed when she nearly lost her body to Jiang Xingnan. Her awareness faded in and out and she had failed to remember that Fang Manxue was, in fact, the person behind this ¡®wonderful show¡¯.
Now that things had developed till this stage, Fang Manxue naturally could not stand to remain behind the scenes any longer.
Fang Manxue was really overjoyed that Bai Qinghao had caught Fang Xinxin¡¯s ¡®betrayal¡¯.
Bai Qinghao had mysophobia. Regardless of whether or not Fang Xinxin herself was willing, as long as she slept with another man, he would surely disdain it.
Furthermore, when Bai Qinghao stepped into room 615, he would also be influenced by the aphrodisiac. She guessed that Fang Manxue nned to volunteer her own body for Bai Qinghao¡¯s use.
Sigh.
Fang Xinxin exhaled heavily.
She suddenly felt the urge to show her second sister a thumbs up.
This scheme would not only ruin her entirely in front of Bai Qinghao and the Bai family but would also grant her second sister the opportunity to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
It was indeed a good scheme to kill two birds with one stone.
Fang Xinxin could feel Bai Qinghao¡¯s murderous intent even through theputer screen. With his personality, there was no way he could tolerate her sleeping with another man.
Perhaps, he would even bring out his gun and kill the couple directly!
It was fine if Bai Chenxi died. The death of a bastard was no serious loss to this world.
However, the woman was a prostitute whom she had paid toe here. To phrase things properly, she had employed this woman to be here. She couldn¡¯t allow her to die so easily.
She was about to stand up and head for the room to prevent Bai Qinghao from killing anyone.
However, she quickly noticed that the frightening, murderous intent in Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes had disappeared.
He turned expressionless and did not reveal any emotions.
Bai Chenxi was frightened that he would lose his life. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
He began carefully. ¡°C... cousin. I¡¯m sorry. I know that I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have slept with her. It was a mistake!¡±
He then pointed at the trembling woman in anger and gritted his teeth. ¡°It¡¯s her! She seduced me! I didn¡¯t want toe but she said that she was drunk. In the end, I decided toe by to check if she was okay. I didn¡¯t expect that she would cling onto me and refuse to let go. She even used every possible method to seduce me. I... I really lost my rationality for a moment. Cousin, please forgive me!¡±
As Bai Chenxi spoke, he began crying in regret, pitifully.
Fang Xinxin watched Bai Chenxi¡¯s change in attitude through the screen. Her mouth fell open in disbelief.
She had been watching the surveince cameras the entire time. The woman on the bed did not seduce him at all, ok. He was the one who clung onto her refusing to let go. He even whispered sweet nothings to her and took her body.
In the end... where were the deep feelings that he was confessing to the woman earlier?
The moment Bai Qinghao showed up, Bai Chenxi, this coward, shoved all the responsibilities on the woman. And right now, Bai Chenxi believed that Fang Xinxin was the person on the bed.
Fuck!
This was the Bai Chenxi she had loved for the entirety of her previous lifetime? He was a bastard to this extent. She genuinely began questioning her tastes...
Please give her a pair of knives! She wanted to stab her own eyes!
¡°Cough...¡± She cleared her throat.
In this life, her eyes were bright and beautiful. She would not harm herself.
It was a pity that Bai Chenxi was frightened and did not pay attention. In fact, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression had turned heavy because he had noticed that the woman on the bed wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin.
Otherwise, would Bai Qinghao wait to listen to his nonsense? He would already have rewarded him with a bullet.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s hearing was much stronger than that of normal people¡¯s. He seemed to have heard a soft, coughing noise.
His cold gaze scanned the entire room before pausing on the pinhole camera behind the television. His gaze then turnedplicated as he pursed his lips silently.
Chapter 443: Last-minute Husband And Wife
Chapter 443: Last-minute Husband And Wife
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Why did it feel as though Bai Qinghao had noticed the camera?
His eyes couldn¡¯t be that sharp, could they?
She had carefully hidden the pinhole camera.
Bai Chenxi saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger seemed to have reduced and immediately assumed that his tears were working. With renewed fervour, he put more emotions into crying. ¡°Cousin, you have to believe me. It was really Fang Xinxin who seduced me. I¡¯m innocent.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expressionless features instantly turned frigid cold. The dangerous aura also filled the room once more.
He gritted his teeth. ¡°Did you think that the person next to you is Fang Xinxin?¡±
Bai Chenxi felt his back turning cold in fright. He nced at the quiet woman suspiciously, ¡°Isn¡¯t she?¡±
When Fang Manxue heard this, she immediately shouted in disbelief. ¡°How could it be anyone else but Fang Xinxin?¡±
If it wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin, all her efforts were wasted!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp eyesnded on her. ¡°Why are you so certain it¡¯s her?¡±
His words made it clear that he was suspicious of her. Fang Manxue¡¯s heart skipped a beat in fright. She responded in embarrassment. ¡°Look at her figure, her hairstyle, the clothes on the floor and the medicine on her face. Isn¡¯t it obvious that it¡¯s my third sister?¡±
At this moment, the woman on the bed finally spoke up. ¡°Miss Fang has been especially well-known recently. She is also the great Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Isn¡¯t it normal to want to imitate her hairstyle and clothes? I¡¯m really not Fang Xinxin.¡± Her employer had instructed her beforehand to say this.
The woman¡¯s voice was very mature andpletely different from Fang Xinxin¡¯s. She then wiped the medicinal paste off.
Beneath the medicine, the face of a typical thirty years old woman was revealed.
It actually wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin! Fang Manxue¡¯s expression instantly turned poor. She clenched her fists tightly.
She had invested so much effort into this n. In the end, Fang Xinxin still got her way out of it!
She was angered to death!
Wait, where was Fang Xinxin, then? Monkey had clearly brought her here, yet she was nowhere to be found?
Fang Manxue began to feel apprehensive.
She immediately wanted to leave. However, as she took in Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure, she could not bear to leave.
The room had been drugged. Regardless of it all, Bai Qinghao was already affected by it. He would soon lose his rationality.
This was her opportunity!
She refused to leave even if she was beaten to death.
Bai Chenxi saw that the woman he had just touched was actually a stranger. He finally realised that he had been fooled. ¡°Who are you? Why did you trick me intoing here?¡±
¡°Who tricked you? You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t rify the situation...¡± The woman replied mockingly. ¡°Handsome, I didn¡¯t expect your character to be this problematic. The moment things went wrong, you med it all on me.¡±
¡°You!¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was extremely poor.
The woman fixed her hair and turned towards Bai Qinghao. ¡°The only sessor of the powerful and influential Bai family...¡± She had clearly recognised his identity.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned sharp and unhappy. She was frightened into shrinking back.
However, she still spoke up shakily. ¡°Sir, I only wanted to inform you that someone has drugged the room. This drug is extremely powerful. Once you inhale it, you¡¯ll definitely lose your rationality. Furthermore, the drug will affect the body very rapidly. It¡¯s too troublesome for you to look for another target. Why don¡¯t you...¡±
She gathered her guts to volunteer herself. ¡°Why don¡¯t you put up with the slight difort. We can be ast-minute husband and wife...¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was filled with disgust.
Hemanded sharply like a death god. ¡°Scram!¡±
Chapter 444: Supporting Chenxi and Manxue
Chapter 444: Supporting Chenxi and Manxue
The woman instantly had the feeling that if she did not leave now, she would lose her life here.
She was frightened into hastily picking up her clothes. She covered her nude figure carelessly and began putting her clothes on whilst running out the room. Within a few moments, she was gone.
Bai Qinghao had seen through the entire situation. His frigid, sharp gazended on Bai Chenxi. ¡°So you assumed that the woman earlier was Fang Xinxin. Your guts aren¡¯t small. You actually dared to have thoughts about Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°I absolutely wouldn¡¯t dare...¡± Bai Chenxi immediately knelt on the bed.
He did not pause to care for his image as he began kowtowing to plead for mercy. ¡°Cousin, please let me off! I was wrong, I was really wrong!¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at his pitiful, naked figure as he grovelled for forgiveness. A hint of disdain appeared in his distant, cold eyes. ¡°Even killing you would dirty my hands!¡±
Bai Chenxi immediately cried with his nose dripping. ¡°Thank you for your mercy, Cousin. I was really seduced by Fang Xinxin. If you don¡¯t believe me, please look. These are the messages she sent me!¡±
He rolled off the bed and searched through the scattered clothes on the floor for his phone. There were several messages from Fang Xinxin¡¯s number. In the messages, she disdained Bai Qinghao and professed her love for Bai Chenxi. She also asked him to meet her in room 615 in this hotel.
Bai Qinghao scanned the messages coldly. His jaw was clenched tightly and his figure was surrounded by a dark, enraged aura.
Based on his intelligence, he naturally believed that these messages did note from Fang Xinxin herself.
What made him angry was that someone had intentionally schemed for Fang Xinxin to lose her body to Bai Chenxi. This could not be forgiven!
Fang Manxue was about to shout, ¡®Good!¡¯ in response to Bai Chenxi¡¯s actions.
She was certain that Bai Qinghao would assume Fang Xinxin was a fickle woman after reading these messages. Even if she had escaped this scheme and Bai Chenxi had not managed to touch her, her image in Bai Qinghao¡¯s mind would definitely be affected.
Before she could say anything to exaggerate the situation, Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid cold gazended on her. ¡°Why have you been standing outside the room? Did you know that the room has been drugged?¡±
Fang Manxue had been worried that if she inhaled the drugs and Bai Qinghao refused to touch her, she would have to look for some other man to resolve the problem. Wouldn¡¯t that be a significant loss for her?
She did not mind sleeping with other men secretly. However, she absolutely could not allow Bai Qinghao to know about it.
Otherwise, how was she supposed to climb onto the seat of Madam Bai? Bai Chenxi was considered an outsider in the Bai family and was not even worthy of being called ¡®CEO Bai¡¯. Even if he had a wife, the woman would never be known as ¡®Madam Bai¡¯.
In the Bai family, Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife was the only person who had the right to be addressed as ¡®Madam Bai¡¯.
¡°Of course not.¡± Fang Manxue appeared shy. ¡°Earlier, Bai Chenxi was in the middle of doing that... As a girl, and as a virgin, it was too embarrassing for me. I didn¡¯t dare to enter.¡±
Her tone then changed and her expression appeared especially pitiful. ¡°How could I have known that the room was drugged? You¡¯ve misunderstood me!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± The corner of Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched upwards cruelly. ¡°Was it also a coincidence that you were waiting for me outside the hotel?¡±
¡°I was shopping nearby and coincidentally met you.¡± Fang Manxue lifted the shopping bag in her hand. ¡°Here are the new clothes I bought earlier. When I saw you entering the hotel... as you know well enough, I have strong feelings for you. I¡¯ve loved you deeply since I was young. I saw that your expression wasn¡¯t good and that you appeared to be in a rush. I only followed you out of curiosity.¡±
The cold mocking light in Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression worsened. His eyes were as sharp as a pair of knives. ¡°You sure aren¡¯t shy about using an excuse that would only fool a three years old.¡±
¡°I really didn¡¯t lie to you.¡± Fang Manxue appeared as though she was on the verge of crying in grievance. ¡°I was just curious...¡±
Chapter 445: I’m Also A Victim
Chapter 445: I¡¯m Also A Victim
Bai Chenxi also grew suspicious. ¡°How could there be such a coincidence? You even met CEO Bai right when he was on his way here.¡±
He narrowed his eyes. ¡°Could it be that this entire matter of Fang Xinxin asking me here was nned by you?¡±
Fang Manxue was flustered to death.
Even if this matter was truly done by her, she would never admit to it. ¡°No... how can you wrong me like this! If I really did this, would I appear here for you guys to use me?¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Bai Chenxi was a rtively intelligent man.
His gaze shifted onto Bai Qinghao in fear before he red at Fang Manxue. ¡°Do you dare say that you didn¡¯t take the risk toe here and climb into CEO Bai¡¯s bed?¡±
¡°I... I didn¡¯t.¡± Fang Manxue was gnashing her teeth in frustration now.
Admitting it wouldn¡¯t do. Denying it wouldn¡¯t help either.
If she admitted that she was taking the initiative to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed, she would appear to be too low.
But she feared that if she denied it, she would lose this opportunity.
Bai Qinghao suddenly reached for Bai Chenxi¡¯s phone and immediately dialled Fang Xinxin¡¯s number.
Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring!
The ringtone yed loudly from Fang Manxue¡¯s purse.
Fang Manxue instantly turned pale. She deeply regretted not tossing Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone card away earlier.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s eyes widened in anger. He raised his voice. ¡°Fang Manxue. You cheap whore, it was really you!¡±
He did not mind her efforts to ruin Fang Xinxin. However, she had dragged him in it with her and nearly caused him to lose his life. She really deserved to die!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure seemed to be enveloped by an aura of death. His sharp, frigid gazended on Fang Manxue, appearing as though he was staring at someone who was already dead.
Compared to Bai Chenxi¡¯s frustration, Bai Qinghao¡¯s anger was a hundred times more frightening. Fang Manxue¡¯s legs instantly turned weak. ¡°CEO Bai, I...¡±
¡°How did Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone end up in your hands?¡± Bai Qinghao gritted these words out coldly.
¡°I, I didn¡¯t...¡± Fang Manxue brought her phone out. ¡°This is my phone.¡±
What kind of person was Bai Qinghao? Of course, he easily guessed the answer to this matter. ¡°The phone is yours. You made a new phone card with Fang Xinxin¡¯s number and tried to trick her into sleeping with Bai Chenxi?¡±
¡°I, I... it¡¯s not like that...¡± Fang Manxue wanted to argue her way out of this.
However, she saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark to the point where it was nearly emitting smoke. She knew that she was done for.
She immediately turned and ran down the hallway, straight for the elevators. Out of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best.
But a bodyguard swiftly blocked her path. He held the cor of her clothes and lifted her up like a little chick. He then forcefully brought her back into the room.
¡°I¡¯ve never wronged an innocent.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice did not contain any warmth.
He tossed Bai Chenxi¡¯s phone onto the bed in disdain and brought out a white handkerchief to wipe his hands. ¡°Several days ago, Fang Xinxin mentioned that her identity card went missing in the Fang home. Did you visit the mobile store to make a brand new phone card under her number? Do you need me to retrieve the surveince camera records of that time? Or, did you employ someone to do this for you? Did you think that I wouldn¡¯t be able to force an admission?¡±
Fang Manxue was terrified that Bai Qinghao would check the surveince records. She had indeed employed a girl to make a new phone card for Fang Xinxin to hand it over to her.
She did not expect Bai Qinghao to even consider this tiny detail.
With the way things had developed, there was no longer any possibility of arguing her way out of this.
She copied Bai Chenxi¡¯s method and knelt down on the floor. ¡°CEO Bai, please forgive me. It was a moment of foolishness...¡±
Bai Chenxi thoroughly understood this matter. He red at Fang Manxue and scolded her ferociously. ¡°You cheap whore! You implicated me with your foolishness!¡±
He changed his attitude briskly and sped his hands together to beg Bai Qinghao. ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re insightful and attentive. You¡¯ve also seen that I fell for Fang Manxue¡¯s scheme. I¡¯m also a victim. There¡¯s absolutely nothing between Fang Xinxin and I. The person I slept with earlier was only a stranger.¡±
Chapter 446: Atoning For Her Crimes
Chapter 446: Atoning For Her Crimes
Bai Qinghao had stood in the room for quite some time. The drug effects were indeed powerful. Although he was used to restraining himself, he felt his blood pumping faster. He was hot to the point where he only wanted to take his clothes off.
The heat caused a hint of frustration to appear in his icy cold gaze. He shot the bodyguard a look.
The bodyguard immediately brought out a gun and pressed the nozzle against Fang Manxue¡¯s head. Fang Manxue nearly wet herself in fright. ¡°No, don¡¯t kill me. I won¡¯t do it again. I won¡¯t do it again!¡±
She then thought of something and immediately said to Bai Qinghao, ¡°CEO Bai, you need a woman to apany you right now. If you don¡¯t find someone to relieve the drug effects, your blood vessels will swell up and you¡¯ll die. Even if you don¡¯t die, you¡¯ll lose your rationality and go insane.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched violently. ¡°You sure understand this drug well. Where did you find it?¡±
¡°The ck... the ck market.¡±
¡°Very good.¡± Bai Qinghao shot a meaningful look at the pinhole camera behind the television.
Fang Xinxin, who was watching the show through the camera in the other room, instantly stiffened.
This time, she was certain that Bai Qinghao had discovered her.
She felt her admiration rise for him. Bai Qinghao had easily seen through Fang Manxue¡¯s scheme and returned justice to her.
As expected from the one and only, country¡¯s idol!
Fang Manxue was confused by Bai Qinghao¡¯s response of ¡®very good¡¯.
Could it be that he was interested in her?
Manxue immediately doubled her efforts. ¡°CEO Bai, the woman who slept with Bai Chenxi earlier, has an unclear background. It¡¯s clear that she works as a prostitute. You¡¯ve always had mysophobia. You can¡¯t possibly touch a dirty woman like that, right? If she has any illness, wouldn¡¯t that be a serious loss for you?¡±
She took a deep breath and lifted her beautiful little face. Today, she had worn a tight-fitting top with a low V-cut neck and paired it with a pair of skinny jeans. Even though she was kneeling on the ground, her figure still appeared slender and curvaceous. It was extremely seductive. ¡°CEO Bai, for the sake of atoning for my crimes, I¡¯m willing to offer you the virginity that I¡¯ve guarded for twenty years. My body is definitely clean...¡±
Bai Qinghao was expressionless. However, a hint of disdain shed past his distant gaze.
Bai Chenxi had yet to be fully relieved from the drug¡¯s effects. Earlier, he had stopped midway through his actions with that woman and was extremely ufortable now. When he heard Fang Manxue¡¯s words, his appetite was instantly stirred. He stared at her attractive figure in hunger.
Despite Fang Manxue¡¯s smelly reputation, she was still a beautiful woman with an attractive figure. Furthermore, she was actually a virgin.
Given that he was under the influence of the drug, he couldn¡¯t help but wish to obtain it.
However, Fang Manxue¡¯s target was his cousin.
This was also good.
Bai Chenxi also quickly began forming a scheme. At most, he would search for a prostitute to continue easing the fire in his body.
After Fang Manxue and his cousin slept together, he would search for Fang Xinxin tomorrow and inform her that Bai Qinghao was having an affair with Fang Manxue.
After that, all he had to do was coax Fang Xinxin. That ugly trash would definitely hate Bai Qinghao to death and obey him without fail.
Bai Chenxi collected his thoughts and began speaking up for Fang Manxue. ¡°Cousin, Fang Manxue made such a big mistake. It¡¯s too easy to let her off by killing her directly. Every woman treasures her first time. If you take it away from her, it¡¯ll be a serious punishment. Besides, the medicine is so powerful and no one knows where Fang Xinxin is. With your status and power, you can¡¯t possibly look for a prostitute. No matter what, Fang Manxue is still the daughter of the director of Fang Group. Why don¡¯t you let her serve you for a night to make-up for her crimes in this way?¡±
Fang Manxue did not expect Bai Chenxi to help her. She shot him a grateful look and took the initiative to move into the room whilst maintaining a kneeling posture.
Chapter 447: Done Watching The Show?
Chapter 447: Done Watching The Show?
Fang Manxue did not expect Bai Chenxi to help her. She shot him a grateful look and took the initiative to move into the room whilst maintaining a kneeling posture.
She knelt before Bai Qinghao and lifted her head with a sincere expression. ¡°CEO Bai, please give me a chance!¡±
She did not expect herself to still have an opportunity after her scheme was thoroughly exposed.
As long as it worked, regardless of whether or not he had feelings for her, there was no way he would mistreat her considering his wealth.
In the future, the Fang Group would be reborn. Fang Manxue herself would also be reborn.
In fact, if she was luckier and somehow managed to conceive, the position of Madam Bai would be definitely hers.
As her thoughts travelled, anticipation built up in her heart.
Bai Chenxi was very tactful. He picked up the clothes on the floor and began putting them on. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯ll leave this room to Fang Manxue and you. I¡¯ll take my leave first?¡±
It was best to escape immediately. However, Bai Qinghao did not express his agreement. Hence, he hesitated to take any action.
Fang Xinxin saw through the camera that Fang Manxue was only two steps away from Bai Qinghao.
She puffed up her little face. If Bai Qinghao dared to respond to Fang Manxue¡¯s request, she would definitely end her rtionship with him!
In the room, Fang Manxue opened her arms to embrace Bai Qinghao¡¯s leg. However, before she could do so, she was kicked aside onto the ground.
She looked up at the man who was as noble and powerful as an emperor with hurt in her expression. ¡°CEO Bai... is Manxue not good enough?¡±
A hint of mocking appeared in Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern features. ¡°Are you so cheap?¡±
¡°Manxue only wishes to make up for her mistakes...¡± She still wanted to hold onto her pride.
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll grant your wishes!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was frigidly cold.
In room 639, the moment Fang Xinxin heard his response, she mmed theptop shut in anger.
She did not wish to see Bai Qinghao again. Despicable!
What was all that about pursuing justice for his fianc¨¦e? He gave in the moment he met an attractive woman.
Fang Xinxin was angry to the point where she wanted to run far away. However, she recalled that Bai Qinghao had been loyal to her. He had even protected her with his own life.
¡°My wife, you have to live on well!¡± Those were the words he had said to her in their previous life, right before he died.
They had spent ten years as a married couple. Yet, there were still too many missed opportunities between the two of them. They had walked further and further away from one another with every misunderstanding.
No matter what, she struggled to let him go.
She did not wish to make the same mistakes.
Regardless of how furious she was, she wanted to stop this event from happening!
She opened herptop once more to continue watching the situation in room 615.
However, all she saw were clothes scattered across the ground.
The atmosphere was ambiguous.
Fang Xinxin instantly turned pale. She was angered to the point where even her heart was hurting.
The pain left her suffocating. Despair was spreading throughout her heart. Ever since her rebirth, Bai Qinghao had be her biggest pir of support.
Since he betrayed her, he should die right now.
Fang Xinxin climbed off the bed in anger. She did not pause to put on her shoes and prepared to charge through the hallway into the room across her¡¯s. She was going to kill that cheating couple!
The moment she opened room 639¡¯s door, she mmed into a hard wall.
Why was there a wall right outside the door?
She lifted her head to see that it was actually Bai Qinghao, who was still properly dressed in an expensive suit!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark and cold. His stony features fully conveyed his anger.
He said coldly, ¡°Are you done watching the show?¡±
Chapter 448: Old Love
Chapter 448: Old Love
She immediately turned back to nce at the situation in room 615 through theptop screen.
The room was still in ¡®mes¡¯.
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck and stared at Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure.
She couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°If you¡¯re here, who¡¯s the man with Fang Manxue right now?¡± Her mind was struggling to process the situation and could only ask a very foolish question.
¡°Bai Chenxi.¡± Bai Qinghao did not hold the answer back from her.
He then mmed the door shut.
Fang Xinxin was startled by the loud noise of the door mming shut. Herplexion was pale.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned heavier. He spoke up with a hint of unhappiness, ¡°What is it? You can¡¯t bear to see your Bai Chenxi, your old love, to be with Fang Manxue?¡±
¡°As if. Old love, my ass.¡± She gently knocked her fists against his chest and pouted. ¡°You¡¯re the one I can¡¯t bear to lose. When you said you would grant my second sister¡¯s wishes, I thought you meant that you would ept her...¡±
Bai Qinghao really wanted to beat her up thoroughly. However, he could not find it in him to hurt her. He could only keep his expression stiff. A dark shadow was nearly forming on his stern features.
He responded heavily. ¡°How could I possibly touch Fang Manxue, that whore? The sight of her leaves me disgusted.¡±
The only woman he was interested in was the little yful woman in front of him.
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she immediately beamed in joy. ¡°Bai Qinghao, how did you know that I was here?¡±
Bai Qinghao began to unbutton his shirt. His movements were especially fast. ¡°Didn¡¯t you cough to remind me about it?¡±
If he hadn¡¯t been aware that she was right next door, he wouldn¡¯t have stayed in room 615 for that long.
Firstly, he wanted to understand the situation clearly.
Secondly...
The drug effects were extremely strong!
She was his fianc¨¦e. There was no way he would allow her to escape in this situation.
¡°Cough...¡± She cleared her throat awkwardly.
She wasn¡¯t trying to hint anything to him. Her throat was simply itching.
However, since he had misunderstood, there was no need for her to rify this.
She was overjoyed. There had been no need for her to step in. He had absolutely no feelings for Fang Manxue and only felt disdain for her.
As expected, the love of her life was 100% loyal to her.
Bai Qinghao wrapped his arms around her. His voice was husky, and heavy. ¡°Fang Xinxin, do you remember thepensation you promised me?¡±
Fang Xinxin took in his stern features.
Charming brows, sharp nose, thin lips and eyes that were bloodshot from his desire.
She suddenly felt some fear and had the urge to escape.
However, she knew deep down that he needed her right now!
She could not be a coward.
Bai Qinghao noticed that she was trembling. He held onto his rationality with force and said darkly, ¡°You¡¯re afraid?¡±
His tone was certain.
She was already his. During this period of time, the two of them were always together. To think that she was still afraid of him!
Unhappiness shed past his face. These emotions caused his blood to start pumping with anger.
Fang Xinxin wanted to say that she wasn¡¯t actually afraid of him.
It was just that, in her memories, he had truly been too frightening on this night.
The recollection left her dazed for a moment and she only needed some time to breath andpose herself.
She stared into his reddened eyes and could not help her heart from aching for him despite the uncertainty from her past memories.
Regardless of it all, she was not going to escape from this.
However, there was still ayer of dried medicine on her face. It was really ufortable. She wanted to dy this for a minute to wash it off.
Chapter 449: Hao Didn’t Recognise Her?
Chapter 449: Hao Didn¡¯t Recognise Her?
Surely he wouldn¡¯t mind her taking a few minutes to wash her face, right?
However, Bai Qinghao assumed she was still trying to reject him at this moment.
The entire time, she had either been refusing him or relying on her great-aunt as an excuse.
He felt his anger rising. The heavy emotion caused his reddened eyes to appear enraged.
Normally, even when he wasn¡¯t angered, his frigid cold appearance was sufficiently frightening.
Right now, his rage appeared like a tornado, ready to swallow her whole!
Even the air in the room seemed to solidify.
This time, Fang Xinxin took a step back in fear.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure stepped forward. His furious self was relentless. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you looking for death?¡±
¡°No, please calm down.¡± She spoke gently and took the initiative to hold his elbow. ¡°Bai Qinghao, won¡¯t you calm down a little?¡±
Her soft, gentle voice caused him to regain some of his rationality.
He caressed her face and responded hoarsely. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t be afraid...¡±
She closed her eyes and quietly murmured. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m not afraid of you.¡±
His frozen heart was instantly moved. He brought her into his arms swiftly.
There were no more opportunities for her to escape!
On this night, the moon shone brightly and the stars twinkled by its side.
The moonlight scattered into the room through the balcony.
The room was engulfed in ¡®mes¡¯...
As the sky gradually lightened, Fang Xinxin nced at the man who was in a deep sleep due to exhaustion. She was both angry and frustrated.
This was their second time being intimate.
The dried up pieces of the medicine had fallen onto the bed.
Thankfully, there were wet towels on the bedside table.
As she often needed to wipe the medicine off her face, she had kept wet towels with her at all times.
She rested for a while before exerting force to retrieve a few towels. She then wiped her face clean and got off the bed to swipe the dried fallen pieces of medicine from the ground. She finallyid back onto the bed.
For the sake ofing home early, Bai Qinghao had spent thest four days forcefullypleting five days¡¯ worth of work. He had barely rested in the process.
After cleaning her face, Fang Xinxin also struggled to keep her eyes open. She tugged the nket over herself and obedientlyid in hisfortable, firm arms to go back to sleep.
The sunlight scattered into the room through the balcony. The warm rays lit up the entire room.
Some timeter, Bai Qinghao opened his well-rested eyes.
There was a woman in his arms.
He sat up to look at the woman in his arms. He had thought that he would see Fang Xinxin¡¯s face covered in a medicinal paste. Instead, he saw a beautiful womanying in his arms.
Her brows were curved beautifully, her nose were thin and sharp. Her eyshes were thick and charming. Her pinkish lips were also glossy to the point where one could not help but wish to touch them.
Her five features were well-crafted and her beauty was stunning. Even Bai Qinghao, who had seen many different women, felt that her beauty could not be described with words!
Bai Qinghao had just woken up and needed a moment to respond to this. As he took in the unfamiliar face, despite her beauty, his frigid cold features instantly turned enraged. He directly shoved her aside.
Fang Xinxin, who was in the midst of a beautiful dream, was pushed away with force. She nearly fell off the bed. Thankfully, she held onto the edge of the bed.
Her charming, bright eyes were drowsy with sleep. She nced coldly at Bai Qinghao with some anger.
It was early in the morning. Why did he shove her aside? Did he take the wrong medicine?
¡°Who are you? Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin?¡± Bai Qinghao demanded. His gaze was heavy with murderous intent, as though he would take her life any moment now.
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she suddenly recalled that Bai Qinghao had yet to see her true appearance.
Chapter 450: Nearly Killed
Chapter 450: Nearly Killed
To think that he had failed to recognise her.
But if he heard her voice, he would definitely realise it.
She suddenly felt the mischievous urge to tease him. Thus, she pouted and watched him pitifully but did not utter a word.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his sharp eyes as his patience faded. Murderous intent enveloped him as hisrge hand wrapped around her neck tightly. ¡°Since you refuse to speak, go ahead and greet the King of Hell!¡±
This person always refused to budge. Fang Xinxin was certain that with his immense strength, all he had to do was flex slightly and her little life would be lost.
Unfortunately, Fang Xinxin no longer had the opportunity to speak. Her neck was gripped tightly in his grasp. She could only gesture and point her index finger at her heart.
Her bright, charming eyes bored into him with force as she cried out internally. ¡®It¡¯s me... it¡¯s me!¡¯
Bai Qinghao stared at her sparkling gaze. The familiarity led him to think of Fang Xinxin.
As he stared at her little face, her lips and her unbelievably beautiful eyes...
He reacted almost instantaneously. The woman before him was Fang Xinxin!
The moment he realised this, he released his grip around her.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s neck had turned red from his strength. Her face was also flushed from theck of air. The instant he released her, she began gasping for breath.
She red at him in anger. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re crazy!¡±
As expected, it was Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice. Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was heavy. It seemed like this was his first time ever making a mistake and he felt extremely helpless.
¡°You almost killed me on the bedst night...¡± Her eyes were emitting angry mes. ¡°And now you nearly choked me to death!¡±
Fuck, it sure wasn¡¯t easy sleeping with the most attractive man on earth.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was heavy. A hint of self-me shed past his gaze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
He wasn¡¯t only apologising for failing to recognise her. He was also apologising for his rough actionsst night when he lost his rationality.
She knew that given his status and power, he had never apologised to anyone.
His words were akin to an emperor¡¯s decree. The people who heard it, could only obey.
It could be seen through his apology that he truly valued her a lot.
She felt a little pleased internally. However, she still harrumphed loudly. ¡°Hmph. Will an apology alone solve this problem?¡±
His sharp gazended on the red marks on her neck. He had been the one to strangle her earlier. His eyes were filled with regret. ¡°What do you want?¡±
Even if she was angered to the point where she wanted his life, he would give it!
She gritted her teeth to ask. ¡°Exin. Why did you try to kill me even though I slept with you?¡±
He brought her warm figure into his arms. His cold voice was full of doting. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how could I possibly bear to harm you?¡±
He sighed softly. ¡°I saw your face the moment I woke up and didn¡¯t manage to recognise you.¡±
Bai Qinghao had never expected himself to make such a foolish mistake.
He was truly always lost when it came to her.
She looked up in his arms and blinked innocently, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you recognise me?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never seen your bare face. I never expected that...¡± Hisrge palm gently caressed her beautiful face. The skin beneath his fingertips was fair and smooth. ¡°You would be this stunning.¡±
Fuck!
Bai Qinghao was a man with high standards. He had never praised a woman. In both his previous and current life, he had never praised her for being beautiful.
She never expected to receive such high words of praise from the love of her life!
Chapter 451: Stunning Beauty
Chapter 451: Stunning Beauty
The bestpliments always came from the man she loved. Her anger instantly dissipated. ¡°Am I really beautiful?¡±
She wanted to hear him praise her again. However, he only nodded. ¡°En.¡±
¡°Then, is my figure good?¡± Her figure wasn¡¯t concealed by the sheets. His sharp gaze took in her slender yet curvy figure. Her legs were long and thin and he could easily hold her waist in his hands. Her perfect posture wonderfullyplimented her perfect figure!
¡°There isn¡¯t a woman who couldpare to you.¡± These words were sincere.
He truly did not expect for her figure to be this oustanding after losing weight. Even her face was wless and stunning.
Although, regardless of how she appeared, the space she upied in his heart could not be altered, but he found that he could not take his eyes off her beauty.
When she heard this, her lips curved into a light smile.
Her smile was graceful yet charming. It seemed to contain a strange power. It was bright and left his heart deeply moved.
His heart was akin to ake that had frozen for thousands of years. All of a sudden, a small pebble fell in and caused the calm surface to ripple.
She leaned against his firm shoulder and said gloomily, ¡°Bai Qinghao, if you woke up to find that the woman in your arms really isn¡¯t me, what would you do?¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± His tone was firm.
¡°What if it really happens?¡±
¡°It would never happen.¡± Hisplexion was as cold as ice and it contained a hint of happiness. ¡°Aside from you, I would never touch any other woman.¡±
In fact...
Normally, he had absolutely no interest or feelings towards any other woman. Her body was the only one that could stir his interests.
He wasn¡¯t sure if the effects of powerful medicine could help him tolerate other women¡¯s approach.
But, at the very least, despite the effects of the aphrodisiacst night, when Fang Manxue crawled towards him, the disgust had left goosebumps on his body. If Fang Xinxin hadn¡¯t been around, he would have rather ended his own life than touch another woman.
¡°But earlier, you failed to recognise me...¡± She refused to give up.
¡°This won¡¯t happen again.¡±
She remained curious and insistent on asking again. ¡°Even if it would never happen, tell me. If you were intimate with another woman...¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you see the consequences earlier?¡± He was expressionless and his eyes were frigidly cold. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll kill her and then kill you. After that, I¡¯ll end my own life to apany you.¡±
Fuck!
She stared at his cold expression and pouted unhappily. ¡°You¡¯re the one who slept with the wrong woman. Why do I have to die with you?¡± Wasn¡¯t he the one who made the mistake?
He brushed his fingers through her hair and caressed the long strands gently. His icy-cold gaze was filled with possessiveness. ¡°I can¡¯t tolerate you being with any other man after I die. Even if we die, you can only be my woman!¡±
He refused to ept it even if he died!
Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t sure if she was supposed to be moved, or if she was supposed to find him insane?
His voice was husky. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re mine!¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
¡°You absolutely cannot betray me!¡± His voice was grave. If she dared to betray him, he would definitely kill her. He would even destroy the world!
¡°I got it.¡±
She frowned helplessly. This man¡¯s possessiveness was truly out of the ordinary.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes followed her closely as though he was trying to carve her image into his heart.
She returned his loving, gentle gaze. She was deeply moved by him.
As he took in the feelings in her gaze, his heart was simrly shakened. He murmured her name huskily. ¡°Fang Xinxin...¡±
Chapter 452: He Only Collected The ‘Interest’
Chapter 452: He Only Collected The ¡®Interest¡¯
¡°Qinghao...¡± She responded by calling his name.
To her, his tall and broad figure was akin to a mountain. It provided her with a sense of security and was her pir of support.
He waspletely enchanted by her soft voice.
A hint of heartache appeared in his cold gaze. Her current appearance was indeed rather battered.
However, despite his heartache, he did not regret his actionsst night.
She gently began to exin the misunderstanding fromst night. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I wasn¡¯t trying to reject you nor do I regretst night. I also don¡¯t regret losing my very first time to you.¡±
She reached out to touch his face. ¡°Last night, I simply wanted to wash off the medicine on my face before we did that... At that time I thought that it wouldn¡¯t take more than a few minutes. Besides, I was also worried that you wouldn¡¯t be interested in me with the medicine covering my face...¡±
When he heard this, he was shaken. It turned out that he had misunderstood her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± He apologised once more as guilt settled heavily in his heart.
Then, he kissed her forehead dotingly. ¡°Silly. How could I possibly be uninterested in you? You¡¯re the only woman I¡¯m interested in, in this entire world.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t apologise.¡± She tapped against his lips with her fingertip.
He pressed her down heavily like an immovable boulder.
His sharp gaze followed her fair skin and stunning looks closely. She was truly too beautiful!
Bright sunlight lit up the entire room as their bodies pressed together intimately. Her skin was soft to the point where he could barely see her pores.
She was truly stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were wide and charming and her eyshes trembled lightly like feathers. Her cherry blossom lips were smooth and soft. Even her figure was gorgeous to the point where it was difficult to describe it in words.
She was truly God¡¯s most perfect creation!
Although he was used to being unaffected by women, he found that he could barely take his eyes off of her.
Fang Xinxin felt as though she was being watched by a predator. A sense of danger was growing inside her.
His figure was tall and broad while she was on the petite side. Compared to him, she felt that the visual contrast alone was terrifying.
She truly felt like a weak, helpless flower. Compared to before she regained her looks, she was no longer capable of enduring tough storms.
¡°Fang Xinxin...¡± He caressed her cheeks gently as though he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
His gaze followed her closely as though she was his delicious meal.
She felt her heartbeat elerating.
A hint of struggle shed past his burning gaze.
It seemed like he was trying to restrain himself, putting in a lot of effort.
Chapter 453: Continue
Chapter 453: Continue
He was helpless against her.
Despite his attempts to restrain himself, he was really unsessful.
¡°Xinxin...¡± he coaxed huskily. His gaze was filled with determination.
She understood that with his usual methods of handling matters, he could have easily ignored her feelings.
However, as she took in his gaze, she actually noticed a hint of pleading.
Her heart shook heavily and she felt her mind turning soft. She closed her eyes and decided to ept this!
As she took the initiative to embrace his neck, a hint of joy shed past his face.
The episode ended after a couple of rigorous hours.
Fang Xinxin was covered in sweat. She felt as though all of her energy had been drained.
Bai Qinghao held her tightly and there was a rare hint of smile on his face.
He was very satisfied.
Fang Xinxin reached out her fair little hand to push him away. ¡°There¡¯s too much sweat. It¡¯s too sticky. Quickly let go of me.¡±
The moment she spoke, she realised that her voice was unbelievably hoarse.
In fact, her voice had turned hoarsest night. It only became better after she slept for a few hours.
Now, it was back to its original hoarse, broken state.
Bai Qinghao stood up and approached the desk in the room. He first used his phone to send a message before reaching for a sealed bottle of water. He twisted the cap open and handed it to her. ¡°Drink some water.¡±
She tried to lift her hand to receive it but realised that her limbs were sore to the point where she could barely move any of them.
He noticed her struggle and sat down by the bedside. He pressed the mouth of the bottle against her lips and fed it to her.
She was rather thirsty and quickly drank gulp after gulp of water.
¡°Do you want more?¡± His falcon-like gaze was especially doting as he watched her. His eyes were filled with his love for her.
She suddenly felt that, though this man was cold and unfathomable, he was also extremely considerate.
He was the one having a tougher time. She was certain that he was really thirsty as well.
Yet, he offered the water to her first.
She shook her head and replied softly. ¡°I had enough.¡±
After drinking the water, her throat felt much morefortable.
Bai Qinghao then returned to the desk and reached for another bottle. He tilted his head back and drank two bottles of water in a row.
Fang Xinxin watched his movements, clean and smooth, with a hint of seductiveness.
Furthermore, his figure wasrge and masculine. His abdomen muscles were well-defined and he appeared healthy to the point where it seemed like he possessed an infinite amount of strength!
Her mood turned pleasant just by watching his perfect figure.
However, as he waspletely naked at the moment, a hint of shyness appeared on her beautiful features.
Bai Qinghao nced at her with a hint of teasing. His voice was filled with joy. ¡°Do you like what you see?¡±
She quickly shifted her gaze and cleared her throat. Then, she nodded slightly.
She was really very satisfied.
She shifted her arms and smiled. Due to her good mood, her smile appeared as bright as the sunshine.
His tall and masculine figure was truly too charming for girls to handle!
The hint of joy on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face increased.
Fang Xinxin held the sheets against her naked figure and was somewhat troubled at the moment.
The sweat fromst night had dried up only to return again. She felt that her body was too sticky. She really wanted a shower. It would be best if it could be afortable, long, hot shower.
However, she did not even have the strength to lift her hands. She shifted her body carefully and found it to be ridiculously sore.
She was truly tired to the point where she felt like tearing up...
Bai Qinghao approached and tugged aside the sheets that she was holding tightly, with one smooth motion.
She was taken aback. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Chapter 454: ‘Resting’ For A Day
Chapter 454: ¡®Resting¡¯ For A Day
Bai Qinghao lifted her up into a bridal carry and headed for the en-suite bathroom. ¡°I¡¯m taking you to the washroom.¡±
She embraced his neck by reflex and tightened her grasp to stabilise her figure.
As she leaned in his arms to watch his handsome features, she felt deeply touched once again.
How did he know that she wanted a shower? Considering his intelligence, it made sense that he would guess it.
Bai Qinghao shifted his arms to feel her weight. She was far too light. It was as though he was holding a feather. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯re absolutely not allowed to lose any more weight!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t.¡± She was 1.67 metres tall and she only weighed slightly more than 45 kilograms.
Right now, her waist was thin and the areas that needed to be big were big. Her figure leaned on the thin side and everything was just right.
If she lost any more weight, it would be really a bit much.
He nodded in satisfaction before shifting the weight to hold her with one arm. He then reached out to turn on the shower with his other hand. He made sure to adjust the water to a suitable temperature.
The moment he ced her down, her legs weakened and she slid down against him.
He rushed to hold her up and lifted her up back in his arms. ¡°You¡¯re so useless. You can¡¯t even stand properly...¡±
¡°Who asked you to go so far!¡± She red at him.
The corner of his lips twitched upward as he asked softly. ¡°Are you satisfied with your future husband?¡±
¡°I¡¯m too satisfied.¡± She was sincere and felt that he surpassed her expectations to the point where she could barely keep up.
He then directed the shower head at her.
As the warm warmnded on her, she sighedfortably.
He held her with one arm and rubbed the shower gel against her body with the other. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯ve never helped another woman shower. You don¡¯t know how lucky you are.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve also never been served by a man before.¡± She harrumphed. ¡°You¡¯re receiving a serious privilege right now.¡±
His expression was filled with possessiveness. ¡°Whoever dares to touch you must be sick of living!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the only person who would dare to.¡± She restedfortably as bubbles formed against her skin. Both her body and heart were really warm.
All of a sudden, she noticed his movements turning stiff and heavy.
She lifted her head to see that his gaze had turned heated again.
A sense of threat immediately crept up. She quickly said, ¡°Bai Qinghao, you can¡¯t do as you please again!¡±
She really did not know if he was made of steel. Didn¡¯t he feel tired?
A hint of doting appeared on his frigid features. He tapped her sharp nose and spoke as though he was granting her a serious boon. ¡°Rest well for a day. I¡¯ll eat you afterwards!¡±
¡°Just a day?¡± She was dumbstruck.
She immediately began negotiating. ¡°I need at least a week!¡±
¡°Half a day,¡± his voice was husky but firm.
¡°Three days.¡± She lifted three of her fingers.
His expression was cold. Although his heart was filled with heartache for her, when it came to ¡®doting¡¯ on her, he refused to budge. ¡°No one has ever seeded in negotiating with me. If you say anymore, I¡¯ll take you right now!¡±
She truly had no more tears left to cry. She could only give in. ¡°Alright, alright. One day, then.¡±
At most, after a day, she would tell him that her great-aunt was here again?
She peeked at his cold and heavy expression. It wasn¡¯t easy provoking and teasing this man.
If she truly lied to him, she was certain that he would swallow her up alive.
From another perspective, it seemed like it was absolutely impossible to refuse him.
It was already quite a good deal getting one day to rest.
Bai Qinghao wanted to lengthen the shower time. Although he couldn¡¯t eat her up right now, the sight of her was nourishing for his eyes.
However, he was worried that she would be too tired. He kept a normal pace and helped her to wash away the soap on her skin.
Chapter 455: Exquisite
Chapter 455: Exquisite
Bai Qinghao carried her to the bathroom and turned on the hot water to help her wash up.
He also took a quick shower in between.
He then reached for his shirt, which had been left on the bedside table and handed it to her to use as a towel.
Fang Xinxin did not ask why he wasn¡¯t using the towels provided by the hotels. She understood that he had a serious case of mysophobia.
The hotels had different guests every single day. Even if the towels were properly disinfected, he would never use a towel someone else had used.
Earlier, there was a bathtub in the bathroom but he also did not turn it on for her to have a soak.
She suspected that he found the hotel bathtub to be too dirty.
As her thoughts drifted, she began to miss the luxury of soaking in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s bathtub. She often did so after she married him in their previous life.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, three knocks resounded against the door. Bai Qinghao tugged the sheets over and wrapped it tightly around her body. After ensuring that she was properly covered up, he carelessly reached for his pants and put it on. He then opened a door.
Butler Zhao stood in front of the door with a tray in his hand. He respectfully began. ¡°Young Master, here are the clothes you requested for.¡±
There was a fresh set of men¡¯s and women¡¯s clothes on the tray.
Bai Qinghao took the clothes and closed the door.
Fang Xinxin had noticed him using his phone earlier. She suspected that he had texted the butler to deliver the clothes then.
She reached for the clothes from his hands and quickly put them on.
After taking a hot shower, her body felt much morefortable.
She turned to see that he was properly dressed as well. As usual, he was dressed in a suit. He stood by the bedside to wait for her.
When Bai Qinghao opened the door once more, the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s chef pushed a meal cart into the room. He ced the freshly prepared, hot dishes onto the table. His head was lowered the entire time and he did not direct his gaze toward the bed even once. He then quickly left the room.
The room was instantly filled with the delicious scent of the food.
Fang Xinxin had beenpletely drainedst night.
They also ended up doing it again earlier today...
She checked the time to see that it was 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon.
She had been starving for quite some time.
The table in the room was long and rectangr. It was simr to an office desk.
Bai Qinghao pulled the two chairs backwards. Fang Xinxin¡¯s legs were extremely weak. She struggled to figure out how she would make her way to the desk.
Bai Qinghao returned to the bedside and lifted her up in a bridal carry without much effort. He ced her down on one of the chairs and said, ¡°It¡¯s not the mostfortable but bear with it for now. Have a meal here first. The dishes were prepared by the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s chefs in the hotel¡¯s kitchen. I¡¯m worried that if we take time to switch to a different location, you won¡¯t be able to bear the hunger.¡±
His thoughtfulness left her deeply touched. She nced at the dishes on the table.
Steamed egg with dried sea cucumber, premium boiled bird¡¯s nest, grilled wagyu steak, Australian lobster...
Right now, the market price for sea cucumbers was over eight hundred dors per catty. The bird¡¯s nest of this quality would also cost at least six hundred dors per catty.
Wagyu beef was also considered to be a delicacy. The texture was especially fatty and soft. The meat was well-marbled. A kilogram of raw wagyu meat would cost at least four hundred dors...
The ingredients for every dish were pricey. The taste made with these dishes were especially exquisite and fragrant.
There waspletely no need to ¡®bear with it¡¯ as he said. Instead, this seemed like a meal that was specially prepared for her.
She picked up the spoon and took a sip of the bird¡¯s nest. It was smooth and refreshing, and it melted in her mouth instantly. The taste was especially good. ¡°The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s chefs sure are skilled.¡±
Chapter 456: Bai Chenxi’s Stamina
Chapter 456: Bai Chenxi¡¯s Stamina
Bai Qinghao nced at her dotingly and picked up the knife and fork. He sliced one of the steaks into small pieces and pushed the te before her. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you wish to eat, all you have to do is instruct the chefs to make it.¡±
Look how considerate he was. He sliced the steak for her before he even took a bite of the food...
She was increasingly moved by him. She ced a prawn in his bowl and urged him. ¡°You should quickly eat too. You must be hungry.¡±
In the past, she would never have done this for him! Agitated emotions were filling up his heart space. He quickly dug into the food.
She frowned as she watched him eat. He did not reach for the prawn in his bowl. ¡°Don¡¯t you like prawns?¡±
She remembered that he did.
He would never admit that he could not bear to eat it. He felt content just by looking at it.
He was expressionless. ¡°Quickly eat!¡±
He saw that she was dazed and turned to look at her dotingly. ¡°What is it? Do you want me to feed you?¡±
She suddenly smiled. ¡°Bai Qinghao, could it be that you can¡¯t bear to eat it?¡±
He was seen through so easily. A hint of awkwardness shed past his eyes. He spoke up heavily. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±
Although he said so, he still saved the prawn for the veryst bite.
As he savoured it, he felt a sweetness filling up his heart. How wonderful it was that she was thinking of him...
After finishing their meal, Fang Xinxin stretched her waist and nced toward theptop she had tossed onto the bedside table.
The images in room 615 were still being broadcasted on theptop screen.
Last night, whilst she was ¡®battling¡¯ with Bai Qinghao on the bed, the situation in room 615 was simrly burning hot.
She had thought that it would be interesting to watch the live adult show whilst...
However, Bai Qinghao had taken up all of her attention. She could barely care about them.
Still, she had noticed that the activity in room 615 had ended especially early.
Meanwhile, Bai Qinghao had troubled her the entire night...
It seemed like Bai Chenxi¡¯s ¡®stamina¡¯ was absolutely iparable to Bai Qinghao¡¯s.
The sun was already shining bright. Yet, Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi remained asleep. They were very quiet.
Fang Xinxin watched as Fang Manxue shifted a little before abruptly sitting upright.
Fang Manxue was undressed and her figure waspletely exposed. Her body wasn¡¯t bad.
Fang Xinxin immediately turned to Bai Qinghao and saw that he wasn¡¯t even looking at the screen.
Thankfully, he wasn¡¯t looking at Fang Manxue¡¯s body.
Otherwise, she would definitely get jealous.
Bai Qinghao reached for the single-use hot towel on the table and threw it directly at theptop. Half of the screen was instantly obscured.
¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Fang Xinxin nced at him.
His expression was icy cold. ¡°Bai Chenxi is about to wake up. Do you wish to see him in an undressed state?¡±
She clung onto his tall and broad figure like a ko and softly whispered into his ears. ¡°Are you jealous?¡±
His expression was unhappy and he did not deny this.
¡°Ah! Bai Chenxi, you bastard. You¡¯ve stolen my first time! I hate you, I hate you!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s sharp cries could be heard from theptop speakers.
¡°What first time?¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s voice was filled with disdain. ¡°The sheets aren¡¯t stained with red. Who knows if that was your first or the hundredth time!¡±
¡°Not every virgin will stain the sheets with red.¡± Fang Manxue gritted her teeth to argue. ¡°Don¡¯t try to downy this. Can¡¯t you use somemon sense?¡±
¡°Indeed. Not every virgin will stain the sheets with red.¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s voice was extremely mocking.
¡°But you were loose. Fang Manxue, quit fucking acting. It might work if you lie to an innocent boy, but this old man is an experienced yer. Don¡¯t try and act innocent in front of me.¡±

Chapter 457: Stamina Comparison!!
¡°You¡¯reining about me... why don¡¯t we talk about yourck of stamina!¡± Fang Manxue shot back angrily.
¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s voice grew higher.
¡°Don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Fang Manxue ced her hand on her waist. ¡°At the very least, Bai Qinghao is more capable than you are.¡±
¡°Tsk, and how would you know that?¡± Bai Chenxi refused to believe her.
¡°Haven¡¯t you seen Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure? Can a gigolo like youpete with him in stamina?¡±
¡°What a pity. Last night, you wanted to kneel down to lick Bai Qinghao¡¯s feet but he didn¡¯t even offer you a proper nce. Moreover, he threw you to my bed.¡± Bai Chenxi gripped Fang Manxue¡¯s elbow and responded viciously. ¡°Let me tell you, you¡¯re but an old trash that I¡¯ve used. Bai Qinghao has severe mysophobia. Don¡¯t even think about climbing into his bed in this lifetime!¡±
¡°Haha! Is that so?¡± Fang Manxue smiled coldly. ¡°I have something to tell you as well. In this lifetime, the only person I¡¯ll marry is Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°Crazy.¡± Bai Chenxi shoved her aside and began getting dressed.
¡°Gigolo.¡± Fang Manxue refused to lose to him. She reached for the clothes scattered on the floor and began to put them on.
Fang Xinxin watched as Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi argued. She was dumbstruck.
She could hear the situation in room 615 through the microphone on the pinhole camera.
However, they were unaware of her interaction with Bai Qinghao in room 639.
Fang Xinxin nced at Bai Qinghao, who was expressionless. ¡°Hey, you say, was it actually Fang Manxue¡¯s first timest night?¡±
Women were always curious creatures.
Besides, her second sister frequently mentioned that she was a virgin. She even ran back and forth to Bai Qinghao¡¯s side proiming that she wanted to offer her virgin body to him.
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. ¡°Bai Chenxi is an experienced yer. He has slept with numerous women secretly. This is his bread and butter. He would never be wrong about a woman he has slept with. Didn¡¯t he say that Fang Manxue isn¡¯t one?¡±
He then leaned close to Fang Xinxin¡¯s ear. His low, heavy voice was seductive. ¡°Although you lost your innocence to me a long time ago, you¡¯re not like her...¡±
As Bai Qinghao recalled her taste, heat red up his eyes.
Fang Xinxin noticed his heated gaze and was worried that he would do something again. She rushed to put distance between them and stiffly told him, ¡°Bai Qinghao, you say, how did my second sister know that you¡¯re very capable? Could it be that you...¡±
His cold features turned heavy and his gaze turned sharp.
It was as though if she said anymore, she would meet with a great misfortune.
Fang Xinxin was startled. She pursed her lips together and did not dare to say anything further.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you continuing?¡± He narrowed his eyes.
¡°I¡¯m scared that I¡¯ll be beaten up.¡± She looked aggrieved.
Her features were charming and her eyes were bright and stunning. Apanied with her wronged expression, Bai Qinghao felt his frozen heart melt instantly.
He brought her into his arms and spoke with a stern expression. ¡°Fang Xinxin, listen up. In this lifetime, I¡¯ve only touched you.¡±
She was pleased internally. She lifted her head to ask him. ¡°Then, will you touch other women in the future?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± His cold, heavy voice was full of doting.
He did not directly answer her question.
¡°I want you to tell me.¡± She tugged on his sleeves.
Her earlier suspicion left him unhappy, so he changed the topic. ¡°Your second sister is also an experienced woman. It isn¡¯t strange for her to guess my stamina in bed.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not what I¡¯m asking about! Besides, she wasn¡¯t urate at all.¡±
Bai Qinghao was able tost the entire damn night!
Chapter 458: Poisoned Apple
Chapter 458: Poisoned Apple
She put on a fierce little expression and suddenly frowned. ¡°Bai Qinghao, it hurts...¡±
His cold expression instantly turned nervous. ¡°Where does it hurt?¡±
She pouted. ¡°Answer my question from earlier and I¡¯ll tell you. Otherwise, I¡¯ll just die in pain.¡±
Bai Qinghao began to tug her clothes open nervously. He wanted to see where it was hurting her. However, he quickly saw that her skin was covered in bruises and marks which he had left behind.
A hint of heartache appeared in his gaze. He gave in. ¡°Alright. I won¡¯t touch any other women in the future.¡±
She clung onto his broad shoulders happily. ¡°You have to keep your promise.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t ever go back on my words.¡± His expression was cold as he took in her spoiled little expression. His entire heart nearly melted into a puddle.
Fang Xinxin felt that he was especially charming. She rewarded him with a heavy kiss on his cheek. It left a loud smacking noise against his skin.
Bai Qinghas was dazed. She actually took the initiative to kiss him.
For him, this was akin to a miracle. He responded seriously. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you have to remain like this in the future.¡±
¡°Like what?¡± She took some time to process his words.
He tapped the ce she had just kissed. The intention behind his gesture was for her to kiss him frequently in the future.
Fang Xinxin pretended to be confused. ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡±
He held her in his arms and shifted, urging her to face upwards andy nted in his arms. He gritted his teeth coldly. ¡°Do you want me to spank your butt?¡±
¡°I got it.¡± She responded and thought to herself that it was still her own decision whether or not she wanted to kiss him.
As he began to unbutton her clothes, she rushed to hold his hands down. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
He responded in heartache. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it hurts? Let me see?¡±
She sat up straight and whispered softly in his ears. ¡°It hurts ¡®there¡¯. It¡¯s all your fault...¡±
A hint of guilt appeared in his eyes before it was reced with a sense of aplishment. He responded heavily. ¡°Remember this pain that I gave you.¡±
¡°...¡±
She stiffened. What a bad man!
She lifted her hands and rebuttoned her shirt.
At this moment, she heard the noise of the door mming closely followed by furious footsteps.
There was no need to check outside to know that Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi had left.
She turned to theptop screen and saw that the room was empty.
Fang Xinxin leaned into Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace. ¡°By the way, Bai Qinghao, I was angryst night when I saw that you came to the hotel with Fang Manxue.¡±
His heart rippled as he lowered his head to watch her. ¡°Were you jealous?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
He had promised her that he would stay far away from all women.
Her obedient answer left him overjoyed and he responded honestly. ¡°I received a message from ¡®you¡¯ that was addressed to Bai Chenxi, saying that you¡¯ll meet him at Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, in room 615. Although it seemed like a message sent to a wrong number, something seemed to be amiss. I sent the bodyguards to your school but you weren¡¯t at the dormitory so I came to the hotel to check.¡±
His lips twitched upwards mockingly. ¡°Coincidentally, I met Fang Manxue right at the entrance. She insisted on following me upstairs. I felt that this matter was possibly rted to her so I let her follow as she pleased.¡±
¡°I see.¡± She praised him. ¡°You¡¯re so smart.¡±
He caressed her long hair. Her hair was as smooth as the finest brocade. It was pleasant to touch. ¡°You¡¯re not stupid either. You knew how to protect yourself against your second sister¡¯s scheme.¡±
It wasn¡¯t suitable for her to mention her previous life. Thus, she could only nod. Fang Manxue surely would never have expected that she would end up eating the poisoned apple that she prepared for the enemy.
Chapter 459: Medicine
Chapter 459: Medicine
Bai Qinghao scanned the hotel room. Although the room quality wasn¡¯t poor for most people, he was used to residing in the presidential suites whenever he visited hotels.
Normally, he would not even have stepped into a hotel like the Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel.
Yesterday was a special asion.
Although he wanted to spend more ¡®alone¡¯ time with Fang Xinxin, he decided it was best for them to continue ¡®interacting¡¯ back at the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Xinxin also felt that there was no point in staying in this hotel any longer. She stood up to leave.
However, she immediately staggered and nearly fell on the ground.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were sharp. He quickly caught her in his arms before she could touch the ground. ¡°You¡¯re so useless!¡±
He was really worried.
¡°Hmph!¡± Fang Xinxin smacked her fist against his chest in protest to hisint. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it all your fault for going out of control like a beast?¡±
He was helpless.
She was far too attractive in his eyes. Furthermore, he had also been affected by the aphrodisiacst night.
Bai Qinghao did not waste any more time. He lifted her into a bridal carry and stepped out of the hotel room.
¡°Wait, myptop...¡± She was dressed in the clean clothes which the butler had delivered earlier.
Her clothes fromst night had beenpletely torn up by Ba Qinghao and could no longer be used. However, theptop contained a lot of important documents rted to her newpany. She needed to take it with her.
¡°The butler wille by to clean up the room.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She set her heart at ease at his words.
Bai Qinghao carried her into the elevator. On their way, they did note across anyone.
However, as they made their way through Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel¡¯s lounge, several customers were in the middle of checking in. They watched the couple in confusion.
¡°That seems to be Bai Qinghao?¡± One of them recognised him.
¡°He was actually carrying a woman! She seemed to be really beautiful. He walked so quickly, I couldn¡¯t tell who she was...¡±
An SUV had been waiting for them outside the hotel.
A bodyguard was surprised to see themander holding a woman. However, he still opened the car door expressionlessly.
Fang Xinxin not only found this embarrassing but was also exhausted. Thus, she kept her face pressed against Bai Qinghao¡¯s chest during the entire car ride.
Even the chauffeur failed to get a clear look of her expression.
As Bai Qinghao carried Fang Xinxin across the front yard and into the living room, the bodyguards and maids were all dumbstruck.
Their boss, who usually steered clear of women, actually carried someone who wasn¡¯t Fang Xinxin e. Was the sun about to rise from the west?
Everyone wanted to get a proper look at her appearance. Although only half of her face was exposed, they could tell that she was stunningly gorgeous!
They wondered how beautiful she would be when she revealed her proper appearance? No one thought that she could be Fang Xinxin, that ugly woman.
Bai Qinghao ced Fang Xinxin down on the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s luxuriously enormous bed. Fang Xinxin was exhausted to the point where her body was nearly paralysed. She quickly fell asleep.
Sometimeter, she dazedly felt a cooling sensation against her skin.
The soreness in her body had faded significantly.
She opened her eyes drowsily to see that Bai Qinghao was actually applying medication on her.
He held an exquisitely crafted container in his hand. It seemed to contain a transparent medicinal lotion.
¡°Are you awake?¡± The man¡¯s cold voice was slightly husky.
He had unbuttoned her clothes to apply the medication.
The sight of her truly stirred his desires.
¡°Are you applying medicine on me?¡± Her tone was certain.
She then yawnedzily.
¡°This was prepared by Doctor Shi. The effects are very good. Your body will recover by tomorrow.¡±
She becamepletely awake. ¡°You asked Doctor Shi for this sort of medicine? Is that appropriate?¡± How embarrassing.
¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it? He is a doctor.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
Chapter 460: Their Home
Chapter 460: Their Home
She decided to stop worrying about the matter. She abruptly pressed down on his hand. ¡°Bai Qinghao, let me do it.¡±
She had already lost half of her life. As he applied the medication on such an ¡®intimate¡¯ area, she was unable toe up with any pleasant thoughts.
¡°It¡¯s almost done.¡± His voice was dark and husky. She felt that she was nearly burned by his heated gaze.
She rushed to remind him. ¡°You promised that you would let me rest for a day. You can¡¯t...¡±
Bai Qinghao quickly stood up. He turned and headed into the en-suite bathroom.
Very quickly, the noise of the shower running could be heard.
Fang Xinxin was certain that he was taking another cold shower to extinguish the fire.
Afterst night, they had spent two to three hours this morning together. Yet, his stamina seemed to be infinite. Was he made of steel?
She felt a little heartache. She did not wish to force him to take cold showers.
However, she was certain that she really needed rest.
After struggling for a little while, she decided that she would do her best to satisfy him in the future.
Forget about this time though. Otherwise, his cold shower would be wasted.
In fact, she felt that if he hadn¡¯t helped her with the medication earlier...
He wouldn¡¯t have gotten tempted so quickly again.
Fang Xinxin watched as he stepped out of the bathroom with some heartache. ¡°Bai Qinghao, are you all right?¡±
¡°Is your heart aching for me?¡± Although his expression appeared stern and cold, there was a hint of joy in the slight curve to his lips.
Fang Xinxin however, could keenly feel his good mood. ¡°Of course I am.¡±
He brought her into his arms and said heavily, with some pding, ¡°You have to stay like this. You can¡¯t change again.¡±
She understood that he was afraid she would avoid him again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t.¡±
He pressed a loving kiss against her beautiful little face. ¡°I have important matters to deal with. Have a good rest at home.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded obediently.
He said ¡®home¡¯... In his heart, the Yu Ting Vi was their home.
Her mood was especially good as well. She did not ask when he would be back because she was certain he would return the moment he got free.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heavy gaze followed her closely. He could not bear to shift his eyes away for a single second.
There wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of scarring left on her fair cheeks. Her skin was as fair as snow and her five features were perfectly crafted. She was truly stunning!
He never thought that she would look this gorgeous after losing weight and regaining her original appearance.
It turned out that he had reserved such a precious treasure when he was young!
She lifted his head to watch him and asked in confusion. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t bear to leave you.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s feelings were fully exposed in his gaze.
¡°Hurry and leave now.¡± She nudged him. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡±
She would wait for him at home... these words made his heart skip a beat. It was an extremely warm feeling.
He exerted all of his restraint to shift his gaze away from her and gave her a slight nod.
Despite his tall and intimidating figure, he nced back multiple times with every step he took before he finally stepped out of the room.
Fang Xinxin watched the way he seemed to already miss her dearly. There was a faint smile on her lips.
Ever sincest night, their rtionship had be even better.
Fang Xinxinid downzily for another two hours.
The medication was indeed very effective. She felt the soreness fading quickly.
After taking another nap, her energy also recovered.
She attempted to move off the bed. Although her legs were still somewhat weak, she was able to walk now.
Chapter 461: The Maid Who Had Feelings For Hao
Chapter 461: The Maid Who Had Feelings For Hao
She got dressed and approached the vanity to take in her own appearance. There weren¡¯t any scars left on her face. She was truly stunningly beautiful!
It was no wonder that even Bai Qinghao was dazed looking at her beauty.
In her previous life, Doctor Shi had instructed her to continue using the medicinal paste for several days even after the scars faded. He had stated that this would help her skin appear especially smooth and soft to touchter on.
Thus, she approached the wine cab and reached for the small bottle of medicine. She applied ayer of it on her skin like a face mask.
She felt a little stuffy from staying in all day and decided to endure the difort to head out for a walk.
Normally, she would climb down the spiral staircase.
However, as her legs were still sore, she decided to take the elevator.
Ding!
With this noise, the elevator came to a stop. She stepped out of it and walked through the living room into the backyard.
There were several maids in the midst of cleaning the yard. When they saw her, their gaze turned strange.
A group of bodyguards who were on patrol walked past her gantly.
A few of them also shot her strange looks.
Fang Xinxin found their behavior to be weird. She brought her small mirror out to look at her own reflection. As per normal, her skin was covered in medicine and her true appearance was not showing.
Why were these bodyguards and maids looking at her weirdly?
Was it because she had a good figure? That didn¡¯t seem right. Her diet had seeded quite some time ago.
She approached a corner of the yard and suddenly heard two maids conversing.
¡°Dp you know Young Master brought a woman home with him today. Although I stood quite far away and didn¡¯t manage to get a good look at her, I¡¯m certain that she is very beautiful.¡± One of the maids said in a hushed voice.
The other maid was very interested in this piece of gossip. ¡°If Young Master brought a beautiful woman home, does that mean that Fang Xinxin, the ugly bitch, is about to be forced off the stage?¡±
¡°Of course. I asked around but I¡¯m not sure where Young Master has arranged for the beautiful woman to stay. I haven¡¯t seen her around.¡±
¡°The Yu Ting Vi is so big. Even if Fang Xinxin is staying here, Young Master can make it happen that she¡¯ll never find out about it.¡±
Fang Xinxin began to understand the matter. It turned out that the bodyguards and maids had mistaken the woman whom Bai Qinghao brought home today to be someone else. They assumed that she was about to lose her position.
It was no wonder that some of them had looked at her in sympathy.
She coughed lightly.
When the two maids saw her, they immediately jumped in surprise. One of them was especially flustered. ¡°Miss Fang, why are you here?¡±
¡°I¡¯m an ugly bitch?¡± She asked coldly.
¡°This...¡± The second maid lowered her head.
¡°Regardless of whether or not I¡¯m ugly, appearances aren¡¯t something anyone can control.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you wish to gossip. But as a subordinate, how could you run your mouth off like that? Calling your female master ¡®ugly¡¯?¡±
One of the maids saw that there wasn¡¯t anyone else around. So she became bold and mocked her. ¡°¡®Female master¡¯? You¡¯re about to be chased out of this ce. How could our young master possibly take a liking to such an ugly woman? Compared to you, it¡¯s more likely that he¡¯ll take a liking to me.¡±
Pa!
Fang Xinxin delivered a tight p to her face.
The maid red at her harshly. ¡°You actually dared to hit me?¡±
She had been long jealous of this ugly bitch for having the young master¡¯s love. She felt that she was much more beautiful than Fang Xinxin. On what basis did she deserve the young master¡¯s love?
¡°Even if I haven¡¯t married Bai Qinghao, even if I¡¯m still a guest in this ce,¡± Fang Xinxin frowned lightly and her expression was cold, ¡°with your attitude alone, I¡¯m going light on you by only giving you a p.¡±
¡°You...¡± The maid red at her harshly. She dearly wished that she could rip off her skin.
Butler Zhao approached them and asked. ¡°Chun Yu, what happened?¡±
Chapter 462: Fired Together
Chapter 462: Fired Together
Fang Xinxin had yet to speak up when the maid named Chun Yu held onto her sore cheek and cried out with aint. ¡°Butler Zhao, I was just picking up fallen leaves. I don¡¯t know why Miss Fang suddenly went crazy. She said that she didn¡¯t like the way I looked and suddenly pped me.¡±
¡°Liang Hong, what happened?¡± Butler Zhao turned to the other maid.
The maid¡¯s gaze shifted between Chun Yu and Fang Xinxin before she lowered her head. She bit her lip, appearing as though she was struggling to decide whom to help.
Chun Yu tugged on her wrist and lowered her voice. ¡°We¡¯re close sisters.¡±
Zhao Cheng took in Chun Yu¡¯s movement coldly and said to Liang Hong, ¡°Speak honestly.¡±
¡°Chun Yu is the one who has a wishful thinking. She feels that she is more beautiful than Miss Fang, and even said that Young Master is more likely to be fond of her than Miss Fang. She also said that Miss Fang will soon be chased out of the Yu Ting Vi. That¡¯s why Miss Fang pped her.¡± Liang Hong kept her head lowered.
Chun Yu was a lot more beautiful than she was. If Chun Yu was chased out of the Yu Ting Vi, she would be the most attractive maid in the Yu Ting Vi.
Who knew, she could even obtain the opportunity to climb into the Young Master¡¯s bed.
Besides, she was extremely intelligent. One of the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s rules was that the master¡¯smand was absolute.
Even if Miss Fang was only a guest, she was someone they could not afford to offend.
If she stood on the wrong side at this moment, she would definitely meet with great misfortune. Only an idiot would help Chun Yu right now.
When Chun Yu heard this, her eyes widened in anger. ¡°Liang Hong, How could you betray me like this?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t betray...¡± Liang Hong appeared to be in a difficult position. ¡°I only spoke the truth. I don¡¯t dare lie to Butler Zhao.¡±
She then turned to Fang Xinxin apologetically. ¡°Chun Yu¡¯s character is too strong. She was the one who encouraged me to call you an ¡®ugly bitch¡¯ privately. I didn¡¯t want to do so, but my personality is much weaker. I was afraid of offending her.¡±
¡°When did I encourage you?¡± Chun Yu was stifled with anger. ¡°Butler Zhao, don¡¯t listen to her.¡± She red harshly at Fang Xinxin. ¡°That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t stand the sight of you. You aren¡¯t good enough for Young Master. What about it?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Butler Zhao raised his voice. ¡°You dare to be rude to Miss Fang. You¡¯re throwing your life away!¡±
¡°I...¡± Chun Yu gritted her teeth and did not speak up again.
Fang Xinxin nced indifferently at the two maids, Chun Yu and Liang Hong.
On the surface, it seemed like Chun Yu was extremely vicious. Liang Hong repented on her mistake but she had done this because she had been backed into the corner.
In truth, this Liang Hong had pretended to be wronged when she betrayed her good friend. She even offered an insincere apology in order to earn her sympathy.
This Liang Hong was a true scheming whore!
This was all Bai Qinghao¡¯s fault for being too attractive. Even his subordinates had inappropriate thoughts about him.
¡°Chun Yu. Pack your bags and scram out of the Yu Ting Vi right away.¡± Butler Zhao Chengmanded coldly.
¡°Butler Zhao, please let me off. I forgot to think before speaking...¡± When Chun Yu heard this, her expression instantly became flustered.
She could not afford to lose this job. Although she was only a maid, her pay here was much better than anywhere else outside. The environment was good and her position also drew a lot of envy.
In fact, her role as a maid here brought her entire family a lot of pride.
However, the moment the Yu Ting Vi fired her, it was likely that no one in the entire country would dare to employ her. It would be extremely difficult for her to find a new job.
A hint of joy shed past Liang Hong¡¯s eyes. She spoke up pitifully. ¡°Butler Zhao, I wasn¡¯t rude to Miss Fang. Could you please...¡±
Butler Zhao initially nned to give Liang Hong a lighter punishment. However, Fang Xinxin coldly responded. ¡°Fire both of them!¡±
¡°N-no!¡± Liang Hong¡¯s eyes widened in fright. ¡°Miss Fang, I really didn¡¯t have any bad intentions. Please forgive me...¡±
Chapter 463: The Secret Xue Knows About Hao
Chapter 463: The Secret Xue Knows About Hao
If she kept this sort of scheming white lotus around, it could transform into a bomb anytime. Fang Xinxin paid no attention to her and turned to head to the living room.
Liang Hong could only beg Butler Zhao. ¡°Butler, she doesn¡¯t have the power to fire me. Please be merciful.¡±
¡°You spoke incorrectly.¡± Zhao Cheng responded expressionlessly. ¡°The young master has stated that she is the Yu Ting Vi¡¯sdy. She has the power to not only fire you, but also, if she wishes to rece every single employee in the Yu Ting vi, all she has to do is to say the word. Pack your things and scram immediately. Don¡¯t force me to arrange for men to throw you out of the estate.¡±
Liang Hong¡¯s eyes reddened in grievance. However, there was nothing she could do to change this.
Chun Yu mocked by the side, ¡°My good friend, don¡¯t assume that I¡¯m blind to your thoughts. I finally realised that I¡¯m not the only one who wished to climb into the young master¡¯s bed. You did too. You must have thought that given I¡¯m more beautiful, your chances would improve after I¡¯m forced away. Look what you¡¯ve done. Both of us have to leave from here now.¡±
¡°We¡¯ve lost our chance. How can you stillugh?¡± Liang Hong was nearly angered to death.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn¡¯t have said anything. As long as she remained in the Yu Ting Vi, she would have had some semnce of an opportunity.
Butler Zhao had only taken a few steps when he heard their conversation loud and clear. He was astounded.
His expression instantly turned stony with displeasure. ¡°The two of you are but mere servants. Servants should not have inappropriate thoughts about what¡¯s beyond their station. Our young master is our most noble master. Do you have the right to desire him? Guards! Reward Chun Yu and Liang Hong heavily with fifty canes! Regardless of whether they are dead or alive afterwards, toss them out of the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Several male servants approached them respectfully. They held the women against the ground with their feet and lifted poles that were as thick as their elbows, mming it against the two maids without any mercy.
The two maids were beaten up to the point where their skin tore open and their wounds were oozing with blood. They fainted from the pain several times but were unable to cry out.
This was because the guards made sure to shove balled-up pieces of cloth into their mouths beforehand.
The Yu Ting Vi would not allow these sort of servants to taint their masters¡¯ ears with their cries.
Fang Xinxin had heard Butler Zhao¡¯smand, but she chose to pretend not to have heard anything. She did not have any extra sympathy to waste on such people.
Now, she was curious to see if there were any other maids that would dare to have thoughts about Bai Qinghao after this incident.
It was likely that the other maids would ce the responsibility of this matter on her shoulders and she would soon be known as a jealous wife.
No matter.
Right from the beginning, she had no intention of keeping any subordinates who had inappropriate thoughts about their master.
Fang Xinxin sat in the living room on the first floor, sipping a cup of tea.
Butler Zhao approached and spoke respectfully. ¡°Miss Fang, the two maids have been beaten up with only a single breath remaining. They have been tossed out of the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded calmly and lifted the tea cup for a graceful sip.
¡°Fang Manxue is outside the vi requesting to meet you right now. She ims that she has an extremely urgent matter and needs to meet you immediately.¡±
¡°What¡¯s so urgent?¡±
¡°I asked her about it but she was unwilling to share the details. She ims that it is a secret rting to Young Master and that she has to speak to you herself.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
Her interest was indeed piqued. Fang Manxue, that vixen, was likely toe up with schemes regardless of whether or not Fang Xinxin was watching her. She felt there was no harm in seeing her perform a little. ¡°Send her in then. Arrange for someone to watch her. Don¡¯t allow her to take any photos or videos of the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
...
Fang Manxue stepped into the extravagant front yard. The luxurious view clearly unted the owner¡¯s wealth.
She brought her phone out to take a video to post on her social media. She wanted to post it on the school forum. This way, everyone would know that she was still a rtive of the emperor despite her poor reputation.
Chapter 464: Your Face
Chapter 464: Your Face
The bodyguard behind her immediately snatched her phone and deleted the video that she had taken. ¡°Miss Fang, you¡¯re not allowed to take any videos or photos.¡±
Fang Manxue was frustrated. ¡°You¡¯re such a busybody for a bodyguard.¡±
¡°These are orders from above.¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright... I won¡¯t take any photos or videos.¡± She stretched her hand out. ¡°Return my phone to me.¡±
She was angered to death. To think she wasn¡¯t going to be able to post anything on her social media.
The bodyguard returned the phone to her. ¡°If you do not heed my warnings and break the rules again, there¡¯ll be dire consequences.¡±
Earlier, Fang Manxue had watched as two wounded women were thrown out of the Yu Ting Vi. After asking around, she learned that the two maids had inappropriate thoughts and were ¡®rewarded¡¯ with fifty blows before being thrown out.
She did not have any sympathy for those two maids. However, towards Yu Ting Vi¡¯s punishment...
She was very fearful of them.
¡°I won¡¯t take any photos.¡± Fang Manxue kept her phone away in her bag and stepped into the extravagant living room.
The stone marble walls that made up the entryway had delicate designs crafted all over it. The marble pirs were four to five metres tall and made for an imposing sight. There was even a fancy crystal chandelier that added to the splendid, European-style design.
The entire living room was not only luxurious and extravagant but also made for a powerful and imposing sight.
It was indeed the highest form of luxury to be living here. It gave one a status worthy of admiration.
Fang Manxue saw that Fang Xinxin was seatedfortably on the enormous, imported sofa. She appeared like a dignifieddy of the ce.
A maid was respectfully pouring tea into her cup.
An ugly trash like her did not deserve such treatment.
It wasn¡¯t just the Yu Ting Vi. Even Bai Qinghao himself ought to belong to Fang Manxue.
Fang Manxue quickened her steps and scanned Fang Xinxin¡¯s face.
She saw that Fang Xinxin was still using the medicine paste and knew that she still had the opportunity to tamper with it. She heaved a slight sigh of relief internally.
She had already obtained the drug which would cause disfigurement.
As long as she mixed the powder into Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine, though she wouldn¡¯t feel anything at first, over time, her face would grow stiff. It would then begin to rot and suffer irreversible damage.
By then, even if a miracle ured, Fang Xinxin¡¯s rotten face wouldn¡¯t ever recover.
She wanted to see if Bai Qinghao would still want Fang Xinxin after she was utterly deformed!
Fang Manxue concealed the viciousness in her gaze. Instead, she put on a dumbstruck expression and rushed towards Fang Xinxin.
She snatched her teacup away. ¡°Xinxin, how could you be drinking tea at such a crucial moment!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her coldly. ¡°Fang Manxue, what exactly is so urgent? Spit it out quickly.¡±
She shot the maid a look and the maid immediately understood. She leaned down to pour her another ss of tea.
¡°You know that I¡¯m thirsty?¡± Fang Manxue ced the teacup, which she had just taken, on the coffee table and tried to reach for the one in the maid¡¯s hands.
However, the maid handed it over to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Fang did not instruct me to pour you a cup of tea.¡±
Fang Manxue criticised with an embarrassed expression. ¡°What kind of a servant are you? I¡¯m a guest here. And you...¡± Her gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine-covered face. ¡°You¡¯re a temporary guest at the Yu Ting Vi. How can you allow a subordinate to be this unrestrained in front of your second sister? Don¡¯t you know that by not giving your second sister any face, it¡¯s the same as throwing your own face away?¡±
When the maid heard this, a hint of fear shed past her face.
Fang Xinxin however, spoke up calmly. ¡°Fang Manxue, your face is your face. We¡¯ve always been different and unrted.¡±
Chapter 465: The Woman Hao Was Holding?
Chapter 465: The Woman Hao Was Holding?
And she even called her a temporary guest.
It seemed like Fang Manxue had yet to give up on Bai Qinghao.
That made sense. Early this morning, when her second sister fought with Bai Chenxi, she even swore that she would only ever marry Bai Qinghao. How could she possibly give up this easily?
The maid had been worried that she would be punished for neglecting the guest. After hearing Fang Xinxin¡¯s response, she was instantly relieved.
Fang Manxue was filled with rage but on the surface, she maintained a generous and understanding expression. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re my sister. I¡¯ll let it go regardless of whether you treat me as a proper guest or not. By the way, Xinxin, where did you gost night?¡±
Monkey clearly imed that he had kidnapped her and thrown heratose figure on the bed in room 615. How did it be someone else?
¡°Sleeping in the Yu Ting Vi.¡± Fang Xinxin came up with a random excuse.
Fang Maxue was suspicious. Could it be that Fang Xinxin had seen through her scheme? However, as she took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s innocent expression, she was unsure about the whole thing.
She had wanted to look for Monkey for a proper answer, but the person had gone off the grid.
She wasn¡¯t sure if he had run away, or if Bai Qinghao had dealt with him.
She did not dare to think too deeply about it.
However, it was a good thing that Fang Xinxin had been asleep in the Yu Ting Vi. Yesterday, Bai Qinghao had been affected by the aphrodisiac and because of the urgency of the matter, he had been unable to rush back to the Yu Ting Vi and could only look for a different woman to vent his desire.
In other words, a different, lucky woman had climbed into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
Fang Xinxin asked her directly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you had a secret to share rted to Bai Qinghao?¡±
Fang Manxue nced at the maid. ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate for me to say this in front of an outsider.¡± If the servant shared this information with Bai Qinghao, she would definitely be in trouble.
Fang Xinxin waved her hand and the maid immediately backed away.
¡°Here, I¡¯ll show you a photo.¡± Fang Manxue brought her phone out and tapped on a photo.
It was taken at night when Bai Qinghao entered the Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel.
This photo was taken of him from the side. ¡°I was shopping on the streetsst night when I met Bai Qinghao entering a hotel.¡±
She had taken this secretly before she followed Bai Qinghao in.
Fang Xinxin shrugged. ¡°Oh.¡±
¡°What ¡®oh¡¯?¡± Fang Manxue red at him. ¡°Why are you so silly? You¡¯re not even paying attention to this matter!¡±
¡°Why do I have to pay attention to it?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao supposed to be overseas for five days? He returned in four days and immediately visited a hotel...¡± The unfinished words clearly indicated that Bai Qinghao had slept with someone else.
Fang Xinxin pretended to y dumb. ¡°It¡¯s normal to check into a hotel after returning from a business trip. This is the so-called extremely urgent secret that you know about Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a hotel in our city. Isn¡¯t that considered a secret?¡± She gritted her teeth heavily. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you silly? Bai Qinghao clearly returned from his business trip early yet he didn¡¯t inform you. He went to sleep with some other woman!¡±
¡°It¡¯s just a photo. Don¡¯t spout nonsense about things that you don¡¯t have evidence for.¡± Suspicion appeared in her gaze. ¡°Second Sister, how did you know that Bai Qinghao returned from his business trip early?¡±
Fang Manxue did not expect her to ask this question. To prevent Fang Xinxin from suspecting that she had a spy in the Yu Ting Vi, she found a suitable reason. ¡°Earlier, when I was passing by the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s front yard, I heard the servants discussing this.¡±
¡°Is that so? What a coincidence!¡± Fang Xinxin pursed her lips and did not express if she believed her words.
Fang Xinxin intentionally changed the topic. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t wait until you¡¯re at a dead end to give up. Look at this...¡±
She then tapped on another photo. It was taken in broad daylight when Bai Qinghao carried a woman out of Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel.
Unfortunately, the woman in his arms kept her face pressed against Bai Qinghao¡¯s chest and her appearance was not revealed.
Chapter 466: Follow Second Sister Home
Chapter 466: Follow Second Sister Home
Fang Xinxin nced at the photo. Wasn¡¯t that a picture of Bai Qinghao and her leaving the hotel this morning? She frowned. ¡°How did you obtain this photo?¡±
Fang Manxue saw her reaction and assumed that she was angry. She immediately responded. ¡°Xinxin, no matter what, I¡¯m still your second sister. I admit that I still have feelings for Bai Qinghao. Who asked him to be that outstanding! You say, how many women in the world aren¡¯t charmed by him? But no matter what, he is your fianc¨¦. When I saw him entering the hotel, I felt that I had to take your feelings into ount. Hence, I could not pretend like I didn¡¯t see anything. Thus...¡±
She smiled bitterly. ¡°I stood outside the hotel for an entire night and half a day. I was shocked when I saw him carrying a woman out.¡±
In fact, she had spent the entire night and half the day on Bai Chenxi¡¯s bed. When she left room 615, she heard that Bai Qinghao had yet to leave the ce. Thus, she secretly hid by the side wanting to see who exactly had climbed into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
She then took this photo secretly.
When she saw that the woman¡¯s figure was impressive, she nned to impersonate the woman and im that she had slept with Bai Qinghao.
However, she recalled that she had slept with Bai Chenxi in room 615st night. If she told Fang Xinxin that she had slept with Bai Qinghao, on the off-chance that Fang Xinxin questioned Bai Qinghao about it...
The fact that she slept with Bai Chenxi would also be revealed. Not only would she have failed to seed in her goals, she would also suffer a great loss.
In any case, now that Bai Qinghao had slept with a different woman, she was certain that based on her understanding of Fang Xinxin, this dumb trash would be extremely concerned about loyalty.
How could she not be thoroughly heartbroken? Or angered to the point of turning violent?
A hint of surprise shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes. ¡°To think that that happened!¡±
It seems like Bai Chenxi¡¯s stamina in bed was really poor. After leaving room 615, Fang Manxue actually still had the strength to wait around.
On the other hand, she had been left unable to even move a finger in room 639. Bai Qinghao had to carry her out of the hotel eventually.
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Fang Manxue assumed that Fang Xinxin was agreeing with her and immediately became agitated. ¡°Xinxin, no matter what, your second sister also doesn¡¯t wish to see Bai Qinghao be seduced by other women. I really did not expect him to sleep with someone else behind your back!¡±
Previously, Fang Xinxin had been simrly surprised when Fang Manxue brought the sheets stained with blood to Bai Qinghao and imed that she had slept with Bai Chenxi.
She had beenpletely unaware that Fang Xinxin¡¯s first time had been with Bai Qinghao.
This time, the situation hadpletely reversed and she was actually using Bai Qinghao of having an affair.
If this had been in the past, Fang Xinxin would certainly have been provoked by Fang Manxue.
But after having experienced one life, she did not believe even a single word of Fang Manxue¡¯s.
Fang Xinxin was clearly aware that Bai Qinghao had been on her bedst night. However, she stayed silent and did not rify the matter.
Fang Manxue nced at her in sympathy. Her beautiful face was filled with heartache. ¡°Xinxin, your appearance is unattractive. Second Sister knew that Bai Qinghao would disdain you, but I didn¡¯t expect him to betray you even before the two of you are married. Bai Qinghao stayed for the entire night and half a day in a hotel room with that woman. It¡¯s clear that he cherishes that woman very much. I¡¯m sure that that woman will soone to Yu Ting Vi. You have to prepare yourself mentally.¡±
Her second sister was so ¡®thoughtful¡¯ towards her. Fang Xinxin cooperatively performed the show with her.
She nodded. ¡°En.¡±
Just an ¡®en¡¯? Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was slightly poor. Wasn¡¯t she supposed to jump up and scold Bai Qinghao for being worse than a beast and for not having a conscience? She would then leave the Yu Ting Vi in a fit of anger, wouldn¡¯t she?
She decided to continue nagging more.
Chapter 467: Unable To Part With Wealth
Chapter 467: Unable To Part With Wealth
¡°Xinxin, ah. You know that with your appearance... Bai Qinghao is surely already sick of you. Rather than remaining in the Yu Ting Vi and waiting for Bai Qinghao to toss you out, why don¡¯t you return to the Fang home with Second Sister right now.¡±
She then reached for Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist and turned to leave.
Fang Xinxin pulled her hand back with force. Her expression was cold. ¡°Did I say I was leaving with you?¡±
Fang Manxue did not expect her to be so strong. She staggered for a moment before managing to stand properly. She guessed that this was a result of Fang Xinxin¡¯s constant efforts to lose weight.
A hint of frustration shed across her face before she spoke up in grievance. ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m doing this for your own good. If you were chased out by Bai Qinghao, you wouldn¡¯t only be throwing your own face away, even our Fang family¡¯s face would be thrown away alongside yours.¡±
Fang Xinxin burst intoughter. ¡°Does the Fang family still have any face to speak of?¡±
Her icy cold gazended on Fang Manxue. ¡°Right now, you¡¯re the most outstanding white lotus bitch on this earth. Your mother is a bastard who would even scheme against her own daughter. As for Long Shuhai, I suppose he is just a gigolo whom your mother is raising.¡±
Fang Manxue was angered by her words. She also felt some fear. Based on Fang Xinxin¡¯s words, could she have noticed something?
She managed her expression and said carefully, ¡°Xinxin, what do you mean by that? No matter what, our mom is still your birth mother. Although, Second Uncle has taken some benefits from the Fang family, he is still our uncle.¡±
¡°Before my father went into aa, he never mentioned having a young brother.¡± Fang Xinxin had a strong feeling that everyone in the Fang family was an outsider. Aside from her father, none of them were her family!
Of course, though her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, was not rted to her by blood, he was as close to her as a family member.
However, she struggled to understand why a copy of the DNA test that was not tampered with actually indicated Fang Ln to be her mother!
¡°I know that both Mom and I made mistakes. We¡¯ve let you down.¡± Fang Manxue softened her attitude. ¡°But now that Bai Qinghao has betrayed you, and there is another woman trying to take over your position, I feel that we should be standing on the same side to deal with this outsider.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°In that case, I should really be staying here to deal with the outsider.¡±
Fang Manxue finally understood that there was absolutely no way to persuade Fang Xinxin to leave the Yu Ting Vi.
She scanned the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room. It was extravagantly decorated. Combined with Bai Qinghao¡¯s powerful status, if she had been in Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoes, even if Bai Qinghao betrayed her a hundred or even a thousand times, she would also struggle to give up this infinite pool of wealth.
Bai Qinghao must never have expected Fang Xinxin to be unfazed by his betrayal. To think that she was but a whore who was greedy for wealth.
¡°Alright. In that case, your second sister will stay too. I¡¯ll help you deal with the woman that Bai Qinghao is keeping outside.¡± Fang Manxue appeared as though she was making a difficult choice. ¡°You should know this as well but Bai Qinghao is a dangerous man to provoke. Yet, I¡¯m staying to help you deal with a woman whom he wants to protect. Your second sister is taking a serious risk right now.¡±
Although she spoke this way, internally, she felt that as long as she remained in the Yu Ting Vi, she would have an opportunity to climb into Bai Qinghao¡¯s bed.
She had slept with Bai Chenxi, but in this day and age, most women had slept with more than one man. She believed that Bai Qinghao would not mind it too much.
Besides,st night, Bai Qinghao hadmanded her to apany Bai Chenxi. She felt that she had cooperated with Bai Qinghao in some manner, didn¡¯t she?
Fang Xinxin responded to Fang Manxue¡¯s words. ¡°How could I bear for my second sister to ¡®take the risk¡¯ with me? There¡¯s no need for you to stay. Servants, send the guest away!¡±
A maid who was waiting outside the living room immediately approached them. She made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture to Fang Manxue. ¡°Miss Fang, this way please.¡±
Chapter 468: I Want You To Be Disfigured Forever (1)
Chapter 468: I Want You To Be Disfigured Forever (1)
Fang Manxue still had a lot of things to do. How could she possibly leave just like that?
She nced at the phone Fang Xinxin had left on the coffee table.
She turned quickly and used her bag to ¡®carelessly¡¯ nudge against it.
With a loud mor, Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone fell on the ground. Fang Manxue immediately picked it up. ¡°Aiya, Third Sister, I¡¯m so sorry. I identally threw your phone onto the ground.¡±
While saying so, she covered the phone with her bag and quickly removed the useless phone card from Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone and reced it with a functioning one.
She assumed that her actions weren¡¯t visible to anyone.
In fact, Fang Xinxin was able to see everything she was doing. She simply did not make any moves to interfere.
In her past life, Fang Xinxin¡¯s ¡®damaged¡¯ phone had begun working around this time too. However, the location had been the Fang home.
It turned out that Fang Manxue was the one who reced the phone card in her phone.
It was no wonder that the phone began working again.
Fang Manxue ced her phone back on the coffee table and frowned as she took in the old and worn-out phone. ¡°Xinxin, why are you using an old phone like this that¡¯s worth less than a hundred dors? Bai Qinghao is really too stingy when ites to you. It seems like you¡¯ve truly lost his favour. Even the way he treats you has changed.¡±
The maid hid a mocking smile. It seemed like Fang Manxue was unaware, but when the young master bought gifts for Fang Xinxin, he was generous enough to buy her ten luxury cars at a go.
Only Fang Xinxin alone received such a treatment.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to exin to Fang Manxue why she was still using such a phone. ¡°It¡¯s unrted to you. Why haven¡¯t you scrammed yet?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was extremely poor. She offered her own phone to Fang Xinxin. ¡°I¡¯ll let you use my phone.¡±
This was the phone that Bai Qinghao hadpensated her with, previously.
As long as Fang Xinxin epted it, Fang Manxue couldin to Bai Qinghao that Fang Xinxin had forcefully taken it.
Fang Xinxin nced at it and immediately recalled that back when Bai Qinghao had tossed Fang Manxue¡¯s phone into the fish tank, Fang Manxue had demanded a new one with a thick skin. This was the one that Bai Qinghao arranged for the servants to buy for her. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in a second hand phone.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion turned pale. However, she could only helplessly take the phone back. She then began negotiating. ¡°Third Sister, the sky is turning dark. It¡¯s not safe for a girl like me to go home alone. Let me stay here for a night.¡±
Everything else was secondary. The key was that she needed to find an opportunity to tamper with Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine!
¡°What¡¯s unsafe about it? We¡¯re not located in the forest. All you have to do is call a car to take you home.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand.
The maid immediately understood and began dragging Fang Manxue out.
¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m only requesting to be a guest here for a while. Aren¡¯t you being too heartless by chasing me out like this?¡± As Fang Manxue was dragged away, her voice rose by several notches.
She was frustrated about leaving just like this. Not only was she losing the opportunity to tamper with Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine, if Fang Xinxin stopped using the medicine, she would lose all hopes of carrying out an effective scheme.
Regardless of whether or not Fang Manxue was willing, the maid still dragged her out of the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Xinxin checked her phone and confirmed that Fang Manxue only reced the useless phone card.
In fact, she had intentionally left the phone on the coffee table so that Fang Manxue could carry out this matter.
She set a passcode to her phone card.
From now onwards, regardless of who had made a recement phone card for her number, they would be unable to use her phone number without the passcode.
Ding!
With this noise, Fang Xinxin received a new message. She tapped on it to see that it was from Fang Manxue.
Chapter 469: A Big Show Is Waiting For You
Chapter 469: A Big Show Is Waiting For You
[Xinxin, let the things in the past remain in the past. We¡¯re a family. If Bai Qinghao really chases you out, return to the Fang house. The Fang house will always be your home.]
She read through Fang Manxue¡¯s message. The first half was rather moving.
But the second half...
She had always been the Fang family¡¯s daughter. What did she mean by ¡®the Fang house will always be your home¡¯? On what basis did Fang Manxue have to speak as though Fang Manxue was the master and she was the guest?
Until she turned eleven, though her mother treated Fang Manxue well, it was clear that her mother had doted on her the most.
Although Fang Manxue had been young at the time, she had tried her hardest to please their mother.
It was only with their mother¡¯s personality changes that Fang Manxue¡¯s ambitions began to reveal itself over the past seven to eight years.
At the moment, her father was in aa and her elder brother was wrongly used of crimes which he did notmit. Even thepany that her father previously operated was in Fang Manxue and Fang Ln¡¯s hands.
Were it not for her rebirth, she would also be in an extremely pitiful state.
Thankfully, things were gradually turning for the better.
Some timeter, Fang Manxue sent her another message: [Xinxin, don¡¯t dy your responsibilities for a man. It¡¯s not worth it. You didn¡¯t even attend ss today. Quickly start preparing for sses.]
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. Fang Manxue¡¯s thoughtful and considerate tone made it seem as though she had attended school today.
Earlier this morning, Fang Manxue had still been in Bai Chenxi¡¯s bed.
If this had been in her previous life, this message from Fang Manxue would have moved her to death.
But right now... a hint of worry rose in her heart.
She narrowed her eyes and suspected that Fang Manxue had prepared a serious wee for her at school.
Du, du, du...
At this moment, a request for a video call came from her good friend, Sun Jiamu. She answered the call.
On the other end of the call, Sun Jiamu immediately shouted. ¡°My dear, why didn¡¯t youe to school today? You worried me to death!¡±
Fang Xinxin was astonished.
In her previous life, she had failed to see Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart and had intentionally pitted herself against him. She had neglected his sincerity.
She had been so thoroughly fooled that she never once visited her elder brother before she died.
In fact, she had been unable to sense anybody¡¯s concern for her.
In this life, she did not expect to find a good friend who would be concerned for her.
She felt moved. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I forgot to tell you beforehand.¡± She did not know that Sun Jiamu would be this worried.
¡°It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re alright. I even went to the Fang house to look for you.¡± Sun Jiamu continued. ¡°That mother of yours is really disgusting. She knows that our rtionship is good and held my hand to cry about how she knows she was wrong. She bbered about how she shouldn¡¯t have made everyone misunderstand that you¡¯re unfilial. She even said that she has turned over a new leaf, and that she has been crying everyday, waiting for you toe home. She said she wanted to visit you at Yu Ting Vi but was turned away at the door. With the way she spoke, even I was moved.¡±
¡°If you were moved, why do you think she¡¯s disgusting?¡± Fang Xinxin felt that Sun Jiamu wasn¡¯t someone with a heart of steel.
¡°I saw that you weren¡¯t at the Fang house so I left. But then I realised I had left my bag behind so I went back to retrieve it. Do you know what I saw?¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was full of anger. ¡°That horrid mother of yours was searching through my bag. There wasn¡¯t anything important in it so she gave up quickly. But what was especially horrible was that she actually told Long Shuhai she was only temporarily enduring ¡®Fang Xinxin, the whore¡¯. Long Shuhai then persuaded her and imed that the Fang Corporation didn¡¯t have any moneying in and only Bai Qinghao could rescue thepany. He said that a few words from you is all that is needed to obtain benefits from Bai Qinghao, and hence, they are all trying to coax you right now.¡±
Chapter 470: Lei Dian
Chapter 470: Lei Dian
The more Sun Jiamu spoke, the more upset she became. ¡°It¡¯s my first time ever seeing someone this shameless!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. She had been more than aware of these things ever since her previous life. Still, she said, ¡°Thank you for informing me.¡±
¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t believe in that nonsensical DNA test result. In this world, how could there be mothers who would address their own daughters as ¡®whores¡¯? Previously, I felt that the DNA test couldn¡¯t have gone wrong, but right now, I¡¯m certain that she isn¡¯t your birth mother!¡± Sun Jiamu concluded angrily.
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°The Fang family are just a bunch of poisonous scorpions. In a few days, I¡¯ll return home and look for ways to obtain their blood or hair. I¡¯ll do a new DNA test with all of them.¡±
¡°Why do you have to wait a few days?¡±
¡°Nothing is more important than spending time with Bai Qinghao.¡± In fact, her legs were sore to the point where she couldn¡¯t walk too much. She could only take some time to rest first.
¡°Hey, for the sake of a man...¡±
¡°He is worth it.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Sun Jiamu nodded. She spoke a few more words of concern before ending the call.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s message came in right after.
[There¡¯s ast minute issue. I won¡¯t be able toe home tonight. I¡¯m sorry.]
After reading it, Fang Xinxin felt a little dejected.
She wished that he could spend every moment with her. However, with his status and position, at times, he simply could not escape from his work...
In her previous life, she had also once dreamed of living well with him. However, he was always very busy. The Fang family¡¯s people always interfered and imed that he did not care for her whatsoever.
Thus, she grew to mind the way he was always busy, very much.
This time...
She was not upset about it. Instead, she was very understanding of him. She also felt proud of her fianc¨¦ for being this outstanding.
¡°Miss Fang, what would you like for dinner?¡± Butler Zhao approached to ask her respectfully.
¡°I don¡¯t have much of an appetite. Anything will do.¡± Without Bai Qinghao, the food won¡¯t taste as good.
¡°Do you have any other requests? The young master has instructed that your needs are to be fulfilled to the best of our abilities.¡±
¡°No.¡± She waved her hand.
If she wanted him to make Bai Qinghao appear here right now, could he do that?
Forget it.
She leaned back against the sofazily and took in the carved ceilings. She had just been intimate with Bai Qinghao this morning. She missed him dearly...
An hourter, a luxurious spread was prepared for dinner.
Fang Xinxin took in the twenty different dishes and frowned. ¡°Butler Zhao, I said that I didn¡¯t have an appetite. How am I supposed to finish all of these dishes?¡±
¡°Young Master has instructed us to serve you well. Even if you only take one bite out of the food, we are not to prepare a simple affair.¡±
Fang Xinxin sighed internally. Bai Qinghao truly doted on her like a princess.
Indeed, one to two bites of every dish would be more than enough to make her full.
The food was going to be wasted again.
Thus, she poured all the remaining food into a bucket and walked around the entire estate before stopping at a fenced area in the backyard.
The fences went around arge piece ofnd. In the corner of the space, there was a dog house built with white walls and zed roof tiles. It appeared just like a miniature home.
Inside the dog house was arge wild dog which Bai Qinghao had picked up ¨C Lei Dian.
Even the dog Bai Qinghao was raising was treated differently. It had its own home andnd.
Most people weren¡¯t treated this well.
Lei Dian immediately came running out of his home. He red harshly at Fang Xinxin and growled to warn her off.
In the past, Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t afraid of dogs. However, she was afraid of Lei Dian.
Chapter 471: Without Permission
Chapter 471: Without Permission
This was because Lei Dian was much bigger and fiercer than most dogs.
Two years ago, when she visited the Yu Ting Vi, she had even been bitten by Lei Dian.
At the time, Bai Qinghao had nearly beaten Lei Dian to death. As she did not wish for the dog to lose it¡¯s life, she had asked Bai Qinghao to let it off.
She took in Lei Dian¡¯s ferocious gaze and saw that even his fur was standing up in wariness. She felt that Lei Dian still remembered her.
He likely knew that she was the person who caused him to suffer a violent beating from his owner two years ago.
¡°The meeting between enemies only serves to anger both parties.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°Handsome dog, it¡¯s been a long time. Your head has grown bigger.
At the time, Lei Dian was only six months old. At this moment, he was more than two years old.
¡°Uu...¡± Lei Dian continued to make warning noises. It seemed as though he would jump over the fence anytime to bite her.
¡°Although there has been a conflict between the two of us and I caused you to suffer a beating, didn¡¯t you also take a bite out of me?¡± She smiled. ¡°Shall we take it that we both don¡¯t owe each other anything?¡±
In fact, this dog was quite intelligent and did not carelessly attack people. Bai Qinghao was really very fond of him.
A year ago, before she had been reborn, she hade to the Yu Ting Vi to speak up for the Fang family to Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao had pointed at her and made a few gestures at Lei Dian. He also forcefully embraced her.
He felt that at the time, Bai Qinghao had beenmunicating to this dog that she belonged to him.
At the time, she had immediately pushed Bai Qinghao aside and drawn the dog¡¯s ire. However, she still was not bitten.
It was only muchter, when she foolishly took Bai Qinghao¡¯s money and met Bai Chenxi in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s yard. At the time, she treated Bai Chenxi like her god. The love and admiration in her expression could not be concealed.
She had lost her footing and fell towards Bai Chenxi.
This dog must have assumed that she was letting it¡¯s owner down. It appeared out of nowhere and bit her viciously.
This enormous dog had bitten down on her wrist and forcefully tugged her away from Bai Chenxi.
Bai Qinghao had immediately wanted to care for her wound. However, at the time, she was really repelled by him and refused to let him touch her.
She only waited for the doctor toe to clean her wounds.
In fact, now that she thought about it, she felt that Lei Dian wasn¡¯t in the wrong. Who asked her to be foolish enough to fall for the wrong man?
The Yu Ting Vi was extremely big and Lei Dian had its own caretakers.
Perhaps Bai Qinghao knew that she was afraid of it. Ever since she¡¯d been living in the Yu Ting Vi, Lei Dian was kept behind the fences.
Thankfully, even the space behind the fence was quite big. It wasn¡¯t especially stifling to stay within it, was it?
Lei Dian narrowed his eyes to scan Fang Xinxin. He approached her side and sniffed her through the fences. Perhaps it was because he found Bai Qinghao¡¯s scent on her figure, but the warning noises emitting from his throat ceased.
Fang Xinxin recalled his previous bite and felt her wrist ache. Thankfully, the doctor that Bai Qinghao had found at the time was extremely skilled. The wound did not leave any scars behind. ¡°Here, I brought you some food.¡±
She was troubled over how to push the bucket of food into the fences when a male servant approached her. ¡°Miss Fang, please take the food back. Without Young Master¡¯s order, the dog won¡¯t eat anything given by anyone else.¡±
Fang Xinxin knew that this servant was responsible for caring for Lei Dian. ¡°How about if you gave it to Lei Dian?¡±
¡°It will only eat the food it recognises during meal times.¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be?¡± These dishes were considered delicacies.
¡°I¡¯ll give it a try for you.¡± The servant pushed open the gate and ced the bucket of food inside the fence.
Indeed. Lei Dian only gave a sniff before it turned and left.
¡°...¡± Fang Xinxin stated at the opened gates with wide eyes. ¡°The dog won¡¯t escape?¡±
¡°Young Master has instructed it to remain within this territory temporarily. It won¡¯t leave without permission.¡±
Chapter 472: Her Vacation Has Ended
Chapter 472: Her Vacation Has Ended
¡°This dog is so amazing?¡± Her eyes lit up.
¡°The dogs that Young Master raises are very intelligent.¡±
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have to improve my rtionship with it...¡±
The servant respectfully responded. ¡°You will have to do so through Young Master. Lei Dian does not favour anyone else. Please do not step into the space behind the fence. That is the earmarked space for the dog. It¡¯ll be quite a problem if you were bitten.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Fang Xinxin brought over a stool with back support and sat outside the fence for several hours.
She would let it be familiar with her scent so as to gradually improve their rtionship.
Arge bucket of leftovers that was much better than the food it usually received was right in front of it. Although it lingered around the bucket several times, it did not eat the food.
Fang Xinxin could tell that Lei Dian really wanted to eat it.
She attempted to coax him a few times before it stopped approaching her.
Around 8:00 p.m. in the evening, Fang Xinxin felt a little tired. After that, she returned to the main bedroom on the third floor to sleep.
As sheid on the enormous bed, she felt a little lonely.
She missed Bai Qinghao.
She missed him not out of loneliness. Instead, she was lonely because she missed him.
She wondered what he was doing right now.
She wrote a message and wanted to send it to him.
However, after deliberating over it, she felt it was better not to.
With their current rtionship, there was no way he wouldn¡¯t be contacting her if he was free.
She did not wish to disturb him if he was busy.
Perhaps it was because he had pushed her body to the limit and her stamina wasn¡¯t quite there yet, but she quickly grew tired. She yawned and fell into a deep sleep...
At dawn, Bai Qinghao returned to the main bedroom.
Fang Xinxin dreamed that Bai Qinghao was kissing her.
She opened her drowsy eyes to see that Bai Qinghao was actually pressing down on her. She was a little surprised. ¡°You... when did you return?¡±
His gaze carried heat as he took in her beauty. He went straight to the point. ¡°At daylight. It¡¯s been a day. It¡¯s time for me to continue collecting my interest!¡±
She could onlyy weak under his body and be swept away by his force.
They embraced intimately...
Afterwards, sheid bonelessly in his broad and firm arms.
It seemed like he did not sleepst night. She wasn¡¯t sure where he had gone off to, but she noticed that his eyes were a little bloodshot.
He was the Bai family¡¯s only sessor. His position and power were unique and he tended to be involved in confidential matters. She would not ask too much about it.
His eyes were closed as he patted on her back gently. ¡°You can¡¯t sleep?¡±
¡°I slept all nightst night.¡± She responded. ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy anymore.¡±
He opened his eyes and nibbled on her ear lightly. His voice was heated. ¡°Should we do it again?¡±
She rushed to respond. ¡°No, I really won¡¯t be able to take it! I just want to... look at you.¡±
She caressed his stern features. He was truly a handsome, masculine man made of steel.
Even as sheid in his arms, his strong figure caused her to feel that he was as powerful as a mountain.
Yet, at the same time, she felt very warm and safe.
Last night, Bai Qinghao had been busy with the Bai family¡¯s underground matters. On his way back he was ambushed. This incident indicated that there was some working behind the scenes with the intent of taking his life.
They had employed highly skilled assassins. All of them were well-trained and skilled with guns. Even his capable guards had been seriously injured. He had also received a light injury. Thankfully, after all the enemies were eliminated, none of his people lost their lives.
After the intense battle, he felt deeply exhausted.
However, when he returned to the Yu Ting Vi to see Fang Xinxin on his bed, her beauty had attracted him instantly.
Chapter 473: Fang Xinxin, It’s So Good To Have You
Chapter 473: Fang Xinxin, It¡¯s So Good To Have You
The blood in his body had been boiling for her.
Regardless of the fact that she was asleep, he had wanted to take her again.
His lips curved into a satisfied smile when she said that she couldn¡¯t take anymore. He tightened his firm arms around her and closed his eyes in contentment. He was thoroughly exhausted.
Fang Xinxin took in his tired state. Even without asking, she was certain that he did not manage to get any sleepst night.
Earlier, he had drained his energy getting intimate with her. He was definitely tired.
Sheid quietly in his embrace and did not move.
She was afraid of disturbing his rest.
It had only been a day and her body had just begun recovering. The earlier intimacy caused her body to be sore again.
Fang Xinxin truly did not know how to describe Bai Qinghao¡¯s stamina.
In any case, it would be a piece of cake for him to utterly ruin her in bed.
Before she realised it, she had fallen asleep in his arms.
Some timeter, Fang Xinxin was awoken by a gentle touch against her skin. She opened her eyes to see that Bai Qinghao was pressing on top of her once more. ¡°Aren¡¯t... you tired?¡±
¡°I slept for more than six hours. I¡¯ve had enough rest.¡± Even his voice sounded energetic.
He normally rested very little. On a normal day, he usually slept for at most five hours.
¡°Hey...¡± She wanted to say more but her lips were forcefully sealed by his. She was not given any opportunity to protest.
He then dominatingly brought her to pleasuring highs with him...
Fang Xinxin was exhausted to the point where she felt paralysed. Sheid unmoving in his arms but found that he appeared refreshed. He even seemed to be glowing. ¡°Are you made of steel?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± A light smile formed on his lips.
His icy cold gaze was filled with doting as he took her in.
¡°Even someone made of steel wouldn¡¯t be as strong as you.¡± She pouted.
He pressed a kiss against her soft lips dotingly. His heart and bodynguage thoroughly expressed his satisfaction as he took in her beauty. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it¡¯s so good to have you!¡±
She had said the same thing to him in the past. She lifted her brows. ¡°What¡¯s so good about me?¡±
He tapped on the tip of her nose lovingly. ¡°Everything.¡±
He was extremely satisfied with her body, satisfied to the point of wanting to ruin her!
He also adored her current personality a lot.
Her long eyshes trembled slightly and her lips curved upwards. Her smile blossomed like a beautiful flower. He could barely take his eyes away from her beauty.
He lifted hisrge palm and carressed her face as though she was very precious to him. His voice was low and heavy. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful!¡±
She was beautiful to the point where he wanted to keep her locked away forever, so that no one else could see her.
She rolled over toy on top of him. Her long, soft hair draped over his firm shoulder. She smiled. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re also very handsome.¡±
In fact, Bai Qinghao had always been much more outstanding than Bai Chenxi. He appeared like the noblest emperor standing above the mortals. She desired him but at the same time, she felt as though he was unattainable.
The reason she fell for Bai Chenxi in her previous life was partially because... she was too ugly and too fat. She was not good enough for him.
But at this time, she had regained her gorgeous, slender appearance. How could she possibly hold herself back from pursuing him?
One day, she would also stand at the highest point to hold his hand by his side.
Bai Qinghao listened as the woman he loved praised him. His stern features softened due to his joyful emotions.
He was used to being in the lead given his dominating personality. He turned over and pressed her under him.
She was trapped beneath him like a prey being stared at by a predator.
She felt as though she was the little, white rabbit about to be eaten by the wolf.
She spoke with some fear. ¡°Bai Qinghao, it¡¯s time to get up. It¡¯s almost afternoon. I really don¡¯t want to die on the bed.¡±
Chapter 474: Hao Is Injured
Chapter 474: Hao Is Injured
He naturally knew that she was afraid that he would lose control if they stayed on the bed any longer.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. He always felt like he could never have enough of her!
Considering that he was temporarily satisfied, he decided to let her off for now.
Bai Qinghao stood up and got dressed. It seemed like he was taking something into consideration as he deliberately turned away from her.
Fang Xinxin endured her aching body and sat up. She reached for her clothes whilst tapping on the remote control. The television across the bed flickered on.
Bai Qinghao saw that she had sat up and was about to turn towards her.
Suddenly, Fang Xinxin felt that he was concealing something. She narrowed her eyes. ¡°Turn around!¡±
Her tone wasmanding and firm.
He put on his shirt and began buttoning up. His sharp gaze flitted onto her for a moment. ¡°Fang Xinxin, the people who dare to speak to me in this manner have left to greet the King of Hell.¡±
Although his tone was threatening, his voice was not unhappy in the slightest.
¡°It¡¯s not like you can bear to hurt me.¡± She smiled in an attempt to win his favour and spoke sweetly. ¡°My dear, won¡¯t you please turn around?¡±
Her voice was sweet to the point where her own skin was covered in goosebumps.
However, Bai Qinghao enjoyed it very much. He silently gave in and turned to reveal his back.
Sigh, as expected, only soft tactics worked on her idol.
In fact, what she did not know was that she was the only one who received this special treatment.
Fang Xinxin shifted to his side and began to lift his formal shirt. She saw that there was a serious patch of bruise around twenty centimetres wide on his back.
A big bruise like this definitely was not a result of their intimacy. Was it because of a fight?
¡°You¡¯re injured! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Her eyes were filled with heartache. ¡°You went that far in bed even though you¡¯re injured.¡±
The concern in her gaze was sincere.
In the past, she always avoided him and even cursed him to die.
Bai Qinghao had never expected her heart to ache for him!
He took in the heavy concern in her shiny eyes and was deeply moved. He embraced her. ¡°I saw a doctor before I came home. The injury isn¡¯t serious.¡± He tightened his arms around her. ¡°If I didn¡¯t go ¡®that far¡¯ in bed, I would have died from my desire for you.¡±
Although he wasn¡¯t good at expressing himself, he wouldn¡¯t stutter at the moments that mattered.
She could not help but worry. ¡°Are you really alright?¡±
¡°I guarantee that I am ok. I¡¯ll be fine in a few days.¡± His expression was indifferent. A small injury like this barely bothered him.
If he had known that she would be this upset, he would have been willing to suffer a few more hits.
Fang Xinxin recalled that aftering home, they had had two rounds of intimacy. It added up to around five hours.
With his stamina, she concluded that the injury probably wasn¡¯t that serious.
Still, she frowned. ¡°Who was the one who hurt you? I¡¯m going to kill him!¡±
She wasn¡¯t joking.
With her abilities, she could easily create a lot of ¡®idents¡¯ if she had the intention to kill someone.
Anyone who dared to touch her idol absolutely had to be sent to hell!
From Bai Qinghao¡¯s perspective, Fang Xinxin appeared both soft and harmless. He did not believe she could kill anyone.
Still, her protective streak deeply moved him.
The matter wasn¡¯t any secret. Perhaps by tomorrow, it would be all over the news.
He shared expressionlessly. ¡°I met with an ambush yesterday with ten assassins. Four of them died from bullet wounds. Two of them switched to physicalbat after their guns ran out of bullets. I was injured at the time. My bodyguards dealt with four men while I got rid of the other six. The person who injured me has already been sent to hell.¡±
At this moment, the television mounted on the wall was broadcasting a piece of news.
Chapter 475: Don’t Be Injured Again?
Chapter 475: Don¡¯t Be Injured Again?
The television screen was disying photos taken at the location of Bai Qinghao¡¯s ambushst night.
Fang Xinxin nced at Bai Qinghao and felt fearful. ¡°It turns out that you were in such a dangerous situationst night. To think that I still wanted to send you messages.¡± She struggled to imagine the consequences if she had disturbed him then.
¡°It¡¯s alright. If you miss me when I¡¯m not around, feel free to send me a message.¡± He pressed her little head against his chest. ¡°I won¡¯t look at my phone when it¡¯s inconvenient. But whenever I have the time, I¡¯ll definitely respond to you immediately.¡±
Perhaps one day, she would be faced with the possibility that he would never return.
After all, he had yet to identify the person who was after his life. An ambush was bound to happen again.
At the thought that he wouldn¡¯t be able to see her again if he died, he felt his chest tightening. He said heavily, ¡°Fang Xinxin, if I don¡¯t return one day, you...¡±
She immediately cut him off. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that other men aren¡¯t allowed to covet after me? I can only belong to you!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± He could not tolerate any other men possessing her. Just the thought of this left his heart in pain. He gritted his teeth heavily. ¡°You can only be mine!¡±
¡°In that case, you have to take good care of yourself and live on well.¡± She sniffed.
He did not know that she could not even think of the idea of losing him.
If he died, her life would lose all its meaning.
¡°I¡¯ll definitely stay alive.¡± He embraced her tightly, as though to press her into being one with him.
Although his embrace was somewhat painful, she endured it quietly. She lifted her head to take in his handsome features.
She knew very well that with his power and position, most people wouldn¡¯t be able to even touch him.
That they dared to ambush him meant that the opponent definitely wasn¡¯t an ordinary man.
She asked him in worry. ¡°Have you found who the enemy is?¡±
¡°No.¡± He was afraid of worrying her and did not mention that this was the second ambush he had met with. The previous one happened when he had been at the border.
However, he felt that he needed to mention this to her because he wanted her to be mentally prepared.
She pursed her lips and frowned. She was worried that he would be in danger again. ¡°Bai Qinghao, can you promise me that you won¡¯t be injured again?¡±
It wasn¡¯t that Bai Qinghao was unwilling to promise her. However, at times, this was out of his control.
He did not want to disappoint her. He offered apromise. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡±
He took in her worried expression and pinched her nose. ¡°It isn¡¯t easy to hurt me.¡±
¡°You have to quickly find out who is targeting you. For the time being, remember to take more people with you when you head out,¡± she nagged him in concern.
His heart was warm. ¡°You¡¯re that worried about me?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded her little head with force.
He was her life!
Bai Qinghao was moved and embraced her tightly. His voice was filled with doting as he caressed her long hair. ¡°For your sake, I¡¯ll definitely take good care of myself.¡±
These words left her feeling a bit better. She pressed her little face against his firm chest.
Bai Qinghao took in the green, purplish marks on her skin. They had only just begun to fade before he gave her more marks.
A hint of heartache shed past his eyes. He reached for the medicine to put it on her skin.
Fang Xinxin was worried that he would lose control again. Thus, she rushed to say, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself. Turn around. You¡¯re not allowed to peek!¡±
He had wanted to take in the sight of the clear lotion against her skin.
He took in her stern, beautiful little appearance and could not bear to refuse her.
Moreover, it was afternoon already. He was worried that she was starving by now.
Chapter 476: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 1)
Chapter 476: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 1)
Thus, he turned and headed into the bathroom.
Fang Xinxin quickly applied the medicine on herself. As she felt the soreness in her body ease away, she got up to put on her clothes.
At the same time, Bai Qinghao stepped out of the bathroom dressed impably in a suit. He watched Fang Xinxin sit before the vanity to apply ayer of medication on her face.
He approached her from behind. ¡°Your skin has fully recovered. Do you still need the medicine?¡±
She nodded. ¡°It¡¯s good for my skin if I use it for a few more days.¡±
Bai Qinghao also preferred if others could not look at her stunning beauty. Hence, he did not stop her.
After she was done, he lifted her into a bridal carry. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±
She wasn¡¯t sure how many times he had carried her in this manner.
With a powerful and strong man like him, being held in a bridal carry became amon urrence for her.
After their meal, Bai Qinghao sat in the living room with Fang Xinxin in his arms. They watched the television together.
The shows he watched were all rted to military or financial affairs.
Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t especially fond of these in her previous life. However, she had developed a liking for them over a period of time.
Sheid quietly in his arms.
Bai Qinghao lifted his wrist to check the time. It was 1:30 in the afternoon.
He recalled her mentioning that she did not wish to dy her studies. ¡°Do you have sses this afternoon? Do you need to go to school?¡±
Fang Xinxin had two different lessonster in the afternoon. However, her body was extremely weak and sore. She did not feel like going anywhere. ¡°No.¡±
Butler Zhao did not catch their conversation. He approached at this moment to say respectfully. ¡°Miss Fang, you previously instructed me to remind you at 1:30 p.m. that you have two sses in the afternoon today. It¡¯s time to go.¡±
Fang Xinxin red at Zhao Cheng¡¯s expressionless face.
She had just lied to Bai Qinghao. Why was he throwing her fucking face away like that?
She had given these instructions to Zhao Cheng yesterday.
At the time, she was extremely tired and wasn¡¯t sure when Bai Qinghao would return. She was worried that she would be reluctant to attend ss today and had intentionally instructed the butler to remind her.
Zhao Cheng did not understand her reaction. ¡°Tong Yu, the chauffeur whom Young Master has arranged for you, is waiting in the front yard, Miss Fang.¡±
¡°Leave us. Fang Xinxin won¡¯t be attending her lessons today.¡± Bai Qinghao decided.
¡°Understood.¡± Butler Zhao backed away respectfully.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his cold and stern eyes.
He gave Fang Xinxin an unhappy nce. ¡°Don¡¯t you have sses? You dared to lie to me?¡±
¡°I...¡± She knew he hated it the most when people lied to him and wasn¡¯t certain if he was actually angry. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. I just wanted to spend more time with you.¡± She tugged on his sleeve sweetly.
¡°I¡¯ll grant it.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice carried the power he was born with.
That she was willing to dy her studies for him was also a sign that she cared for him.
Normally, anyone who dared to lie to Bai Qinghao would have their lives ended instantly.
He sighed internally once more. She was indeed his only weakness.
Fang Xinxin was startled. She almost mistook herself for a pitiful concubine that was begging the emperor for a favour.
She suddenly felt upset. She held onto his firm shoulders. ¡°Hmph, if you¡¯re not upset, why is your expression so cold?¡±
¡°How is my expression cold?¡± His features were always cold without much change. In truth, he felt that he had revealed his warmest side to her.
¡°Nevermind.¡± She took in his stern features. He was born with the powerful charisma of a king.
Even when he wasn¡¯t upset, he appeared stern to the point where it was frightening.
Whenever he was actually upset, it always ended with someone losing their lives.
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and habitually scrolled through the school forum.
Who asked her to be the most trending topic in Jing Hua University!
All of a sudden, the most popr forum thread caught her attention.
Chapter 477: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 2)
Chapter 477: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 2)
The most popr thread on the school forum was titled: [Fang Xinxin, what have you given to Bai Qinghao?]
Fang Xinxin tapped on the thread. Next to the title was the word ¡®HOT¡¯ in bright red. It indicated that the thread was extremely popr.
The contents of the thread was written in ck:
[As most would know, Fang Xinxin flunked her college entrance examinations two years ago. She sure is blessed. For her sake, a certain fianc¨¦, Bai Qinghao, contributed a hundred million dors to a school abroad.
Instantly, Fang Xinxin transformed from a student who had flunked her examinations to one who was attending a famous university abroad. She then made her way into Jing Hua University by transferring schools.
Most of us are also aware that Bai Qinghao has supported the Fang family financially for Fang Xinxin¡¯s sake. He has given them more than a billion dors over a period of time. Although the Fang family has been forced to return the sum, it was still an extremely generous hand...
Third, ever since Bai Qinghao was engaged to Fang Xinxin, the gifts he delivered to the Fang family for the celebration of every festivity were also especially generous.
Fourth, during ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯, Bai Qinghao made a generous donation of a billion dors to Jing Hua University on Fang Xinxin¡¯s behalf.
Fifth, Bai Qinghao recently bought ten luxury-branded cars for Fang Xinxin. I heard that the cheapest was worth more than five hundred thousand. The most expensive one is worth more than 25 million dors.
Although Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t driving the most expensive car to Jing Hua University, there are so many employees at the car dealership. The enormous purchase isn¡¯t that easily concealed.
...
The above are all matters that we all know about. I wonder just how much remains unknown to us!
Bai Qinghao is the wealthiest among the wealthy. There are a few women who are good enough to stand next to our great idol, Bai Qinghao.
No matter what, Fang Xinxin has contributed greatly to Jing Hua University. Without her, we would never have had our donation.
We won¡¯t discuss any other things in this thread.
We will only discuss facts. Bai Qinghao has contributed so much for Fang Xinxin. But what has Fang Xinxin done for Bai Qinghao?]
The firstment left by a certain student was as follow:
[Bai Qinghao doesn¡¯tck anything. I think besides her body, there¡¯s nothing more that she could possibly give him.]
The nextment responded to the above:
[Even if Fang Xinxin has sessfully lost weight, she still remains as ugly as ever. Even if she wants to offer her body, there¡¯s no way the idol will be able to take her.]
Here was the thirdment:
[Although money can¡¯t solve every problem in the world, nobody can survive without money. Fang Xinxin, Bai Qinghao has given so much to you. I think you better start kneeling down and grovelling!]
Fang Xinxin scrolled further down the thread and found that the earlierments were still polite.
The remainingments were especially cruel:
[There are countless women who wish to kneel and grovel at Bai Qinghao¡¯s feet. Fang Xinxin simply isn¡¯t good enough. Fang Xinxin is basically a vermin. She only knows to reach and ask for things from Bai Qinghao. The entire Fang family are a bunch of ingrates! The Fang family turned into vermin precisely because Fang Xinxin is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦. She ought to stand down from her position already!]
[Fang Xinxin has never given Bai Qinghao anything. She is doomed to remain a vermin in the Bai family for the rest of her life. Even if Bai Qinghao won¡¯t see thisment, I have to say this. Hurry up and leave Fang Xinxin. Having a woman like this is a real humiliation.]
[Fang Xinxin is a vermin +1.]
[Fang Xinxin is a vermin +2.]
She scrolled through hundreds of pages. Each one of them scolded her for being a vermin, +3, +4, +5...
She reached page two hundred and there were still countless cruel remarks dissing her.
Very fewments mentioned that she was innocently born into a lucky life. These were very quickly swallowed up by the flood of harshments.
Initially, Bai Qinghao was focused on the military news being broadcasted on television and did not pay attention to what Fang Xinxin was reading on her phone.
A few minutester, he noticed that her attention was still fixed on her phone. His sharp gaze shifted onto the small screen.
Fang Xinxin¡¯splexion was slightly pale. She rushed to put the phone away.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His heavy, cold voice carried a hint of concern.
Chapter 478: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 3)
Chapter 478: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 3)
¡°Nothing much.¡± She quickly shoved her phone into her pocket.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were especially sharp. Although he had only taken a quick look at her phone, he could guess what had happened.
He snatched the phone from her and scrolled through the forum within minutes. He then frowned harshly and called out. ¡°Butler!¡±
Butler Zhao, who was waiting outside the living room, walked over quickly. ¡°Your subordinate is here.¡±
¡°Find out exactly who is behind the trending thread in Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Dismember them and feed them to dogs.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Butler Zhao immediately received the order and left.
At this moment, Fang Xinxin¡¯s phone rang. It came from an unknown number. She hesitated for a moment before answering it. She immediately heard a flustered woman¡¯s voice. ¡°Is this Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°I am.¡±
¡°That¡¯s great. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to obtain your number. I am Liu Ping, a Year 2 student from ss 4.¡± The woman began introducing herself.
¡°I don¡¯t know you.¡± Her voice was extremely unfamiliar to Fang Xinxin. She was certain that she did not know this person.
Liu Ping responded. ¡°It¡¯s true that we don¡¯t know each other. But you¡¯ve been a popr topic recently and I¡¯vee to understand a lot about you through the media and through word of mouth. I was the one who posted the hottest topic on the form.¡±
Fang Xinxin was expressionless. ¡°So?¡±
Liu Ping¡¯s voice was apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m 23 years old this year. I took my college entrance examinations three times before I made it to Jing Hua University. When I learned that you had flunked and managed a twisted path into Jing Hua University, I was really jealous. I also have a fianc¨¦, but he is extremely stingy. He can¡¯t even bear to spend twenty dors on a small bouquet for me. Inparison, Bai Qinghao treats you unbelievably well. The more I thought about it, the more jealous I grew. But I truly didn¡¯t wish to hurt you. Through the thread, I only listed the good Bai Qinghao has done for you and vented out my feelings to question what you¡¯ve done for him. I also mentioned that you¡¯ve done a lot for Jing Hua University and asked everyone not to target you. I really did not expect my post to snowball in this manner. I responded to a lot ofments asking everyone not to criticise you, but no one listened. I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t mean to! If I had known things would turn out this way, I swear I wouldn¡¯t have made that thread!¡±
¡°Will an apology alone remove the harm you¡¯ve done to someone?¡± The person who responded was Bai Qinghao.
His voice was frigid cold and it gave Liu Ping the illusion that death was imminent. Even through the phone, she could feel a heavy pressure pressing on her. She asked carefully. ¡°Is this Bai...¡±
¡°Later, when Zhao Cheng collects your life, he can also make an apology for this matter,¡± Bai Qinghao responded coldly and ended the call.
Fang Xinxin was sitting in Bai Qinghao¡¯sp. He naturally overheard the conversation when she answered the phone. She took in his frigid cold expression. ¡°Hey, her crime isn¡¯t serious to the point where it deserves death, is it?¡±
Soon, she received another call from Liu Ping.
Faced with Bai Qinghao¡¯s freezing gaze, Fang Xinxin did not dare to pick up the call.
Her phone rang more than twenty times before she gathered up her guts to answer it.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m really sorry! I swear that aside from having a little jealousy, I really didn¡¯t intend to hurt you. I know that I made a mistake. Will you please ask Bai Qinghao to let me off!¡± Liu Ping¡¯s voice was filled with urgency.
Her fianc¨¦ was a businessman and was well aware of Bai Qinghao¡¯s ruthless methods. He had instructed her to immediately call Fang Xinxin to seek forgiveness and insisted that she would lose her life otherwise.
She was extremely regretful and fearful at this moment.

Chapter 479: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 4)
Fang Xinxin sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t do this again.¡±
¡°I promise I won¡¯t. If this happens again, my entire family will experience pain that is worse than death itself!¡± Due to the urgency of the matter, Liu Ping made a heavy vow without thinking twice.
¡°I¡¯ll let you off this time. I¡¯ll talk to Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Xinxin ended the call with those words.
She then dialled Zhao Cheng¡¯s number to ask. ¡°Butler Zhao, have you found the person responsible for the post?¡±
¡°I have. It is a student from your university named Liu Ping, from Year 2, ss 4. This subordinate has already sent the servants to carry out Young Master¡¯s orders.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t touch her. We¡¯ll leave this matter be.¡±
¡°But...¡±
¡°I¡¯ll speak to Bai Qinghao about this.¡± Fang Xinxin disconnected the call afterwards.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. As he nced at Fang Xinxin, a hint of displeasure shed past his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your sake.¡±
¡°I know.¡± She nodded. ¡°I¡¯m very moved.¡±
¡°No one is allowed to hurt you!¡± His expression was ruthless. ¡°Zhao Cheng will carry out the issued order.¡±
She shifted on hisp to face him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, listen to me...¡±
After having experienced one life, she no longer had much sympathy to spare. ¡°I¡¯m not being soft-hearted. But everything Liu Ping wrote on the forum are facts that the majority of the public are aware of. She did not make up any lies. There is a significant group of people who think simrly but haven¡¯t expressed their thoughts. The only difference between them and her is that she was rash enough to write her thoughts down. If everyone wasn¡¯t simrly angry, a small post like this wouldn¡¯t have rushed up to being the hottest forum post in Jing Hua University. I feel that she hasn¡¯t done anything wrong.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was frighteningly cold as he remained silent.
She held hisrge hand with her small ones and tugged at them pleadingly. ¡°Bai Qinghao, please let her off. I¡¯m begging you!¡±
¡°You¡¯re begging me for the sake of an unrted stranger?¡± His gaze was filled with displeasure.
She leaned closer to his ear and softly negotiated. ¡°If you let her off, I¡¯llpensate you well tonight, hmm?¡±
The sensation of her small hands against his made it hard for him to refuse her. But his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. ¡°Only tonight?¡±
¡°How long do you want it for, then?¡± She frowned.
¡°A week.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± She immediately agreed.
He pressed his palm against her back and forced her closer to him as he said ruthlessly, ¡°Fang Xinxin, you better think carefully about this. I won¡¯t be merciful for the uing week.¡±
She stared at him with some fear... and swallowed heavily. ¡°Great idol, you have to be merciful. At least leave me alive.¡±
Bai Qinghao watched her sharply and his lips twitched upwards into a ruthless smile.
This was how wonderful she was. He wasn¡¯t someone whose heart would soften!
After Fang Xinxin pleaded with him to message Butler Zhao to undo the earlier instructions, she brought her phone out and directed her attention back to Jing Hua University¡¯s forum.
She used her phone and logged into her ount registered under her name. As she took in the long forum post which she had no way of refuting, she began to type:
[The original post only listed five items. I¡¯ll add on to it.
Six, my father is currently in aa and is admitted to Jia Ya Hospital, a hospital belonging to Bai Qinghao¡¯spany, Sheng Shi Group. He is assigned to the VIP ward and his entire hospital fee is free-of-charge.
Seven, when Bai Qinghao brought me to ¡®Imperial Capital¡¯ for a meal, he spent over forty thousand dors on the bill.]

Chapter 480: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 5)
Chapter 480: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 5)
[Eight, Bai Qinghao bought a huge bouquet consisting of 999 roses for me. It was extremely expensive.
Nine, for the sake of making time for me, Bai Qinghao often rushes through his work without getting enough sleep. He would even rush back from his business trips to squeeze out just thirty minutes for me.
Simr incidents like the ones described above are countless. Ick the ability to describe them all in detail.
Bai Qinghao has given me too much. I truly have no way of refuting the above post, nor do I n on refuting it.
Just as everyone has written, with his power and position, what could I possibly offer to him? Don¡¯t even mention offering my body to him for life, there are countless women who would die for the chance to climb in his bed.
If I really said that I would offer my body to him for life, what more would I receive beyond the public¡¯s mocking? I¡¯m certain you will all say that all women have bodies to offer up; that I¡¯m not special.
Let¡¯s take on a different perspective then. If Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e isn¡¯t Fang Xinxin, but some other woman, what more could she give him but her own body?
This is a man who doesn¡¯tck anything. He could kill just with the weight of his money alone. His position is grand enough that it makes our neck sore to look up at him
It is simply a coincidence that I am the one upying the position of Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
It is true that because of him, I have taken one step into heaven.
I can only say that I have received, acknowledged and carved everything Bai Qinghao has done for me into my heart.
I will do my best to be more outstanding. Perhaps one day, I¡¯ll be able to catch up to him.
¨C Fang Xinxin.
I would just like to add that it sure is difficult writing out such a long post on my phone.]
Fang Xinxin¡¯sment was posted in her own name. It was quickly found by the forum moderator and was sent upwards into bing the firstment right after the original post. This way, everyone was able to immediately see her response.
In the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Manxue was enjoying a massage from one of the maids whilst scrolling through the hottest forum post in school.
Fang Ln watched her daughter¡¯s smile from the side. ¡°What¡¯s making you so happy?¡±
¡°Mom, I haven¡¯t even delivered the blow I prepared for Fang Xinxin.¡± Fang Manxue smirked mockingly. ¡°And someone else has already made a posted criticising Fang Xinxin for being a fucking vermin. Although the Fang family was implicated in the post, it¡¯s a small matter. As long as Fang Xinxin is in a pitiful state, I don¡¯t mind a little dirty water being sshed on my clothes.¡±
Fang Ln sat on the rocking chair next to her and reached for her phone. After reading the forum post, she frowned viciously. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that whore. It would be best if she decides to end her life out of misery. Just the sight of her makes me disgusted!¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it? With her ugly appearance, what right does she have to be the future Madam Bai?¡± Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly. ¡°Back then, even when I was an imitation, everyone trailed after me and called me ¡®Goddess Manxue¡¯. I never drew such negative reactions.¡±
¡°How could Fang Xinxinpete with you?¡± Fang Ln watched her daughter lovingly. ¡°You¡¯re better than her by a hundred times, a thousand times. She isn¡¯t even suited to hold your shoes!¡±
¡°I always knew that mom is the best.¡± Fang Manxue approached Fang Ln from the back and hugged her.
Fang Ln¡¯s expression was that of doting and love as she patted the back of her daughter¡¯s hand. ¡°This post is not wrong in any way. I bet Fang Xinxin has no way of refuting it. She can only submit to being called a vermin for the rest of her life.¡±
¡°My reputation is ruined and I no longer have the face to appear in Jing Hua University. It seems like Fang Xinxin will soon be the same as me!¡± Fang Manxue was pleased andughed viciously.
She scrolled upwards to refresh the page only to see that Fang Xinxin¡¯s response had been pinned at the top.

Chapter 481: What Have You Given Hao? (Part 6)
She read through Fang Xinxin¡¯s response and found that many of her schoolmates who were upset with Fang Xinxin had softened up after reading her post. They were quickly editing their ownments.
[Fuck! Fang Xinxin is quite humble. She remembers everything that Bai Qinghao has done for her so well. It seems like she isn¡¯t that ungrateful.]
[I shan¡¯t call her a vermin. Just as she said, even if someone else were in her ce, what would be able to do for Bai Qinghao? Wouldn¡¯t it be the same? Everyone should stop being jealous of her.]
[Hey, don¡¯t you guys feel that Fang Xinxin¡¯sst sentence, and I don¡¯t mean the one about the post being tiring to type, but the one about one day catching up to him. I feel that she secretly feels that she isn¡¯t good enough for Bai Qinghao. It seems like this love isn¡¯t easy for her as well...]
Comments like this received a lot of likes and were quickly pushed to the top.
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger. She reacted in an enraged voice. ¡°The people who were jealous of Fang Xinxin sure are weak. They forgave Fang Xinxin, that vermin, so easily? I¡¯ll show them better!¡±
Fang Manxue logged into a an ount under a different name and began her scolding:
[You guys sure are weak. Just because Fang Xinxin pretended to be pitiful, it doesn¡¯t alter her true appearance as a vermin. At the end of the day, she still hasn¡¯t done anything for Bai Qinghao!]
[She is a person who only knows how to take but not to give. She isn¡¯t even suited to hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes. She¡¯ll be clinging onto Bai Qinghao for the rest of her life. Doesn¡¯t your heart ache for your idol?]
Fang Manxue wrote many criticisms against Fang Xinxin and reposted each one three times. She saw that herments stirred up a new wave of attack against Fang Xinxin. Everyone began ¡®supporting¡¯ Fang Xinxin and urging her to quit being a ¡®vermin¡¯.
Fang Manxue finally felt better
...
One the first floor of the Yu Ting Vi, Fang Xinxin sat on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp facing him. Her phone had been facing away from him when she typed and he did not know what she had written.
¡°Bring myptop here!¡± Bai Qinghaomanded.
¡°Yes, sir.¡± A bodyguard respectfully went to retrieve hisptop. He then set up a simple office desk in the living room and ced theptop there before backing away.
Bai Qinghao could not bear to let go of Fang Xinxin. He shifted slightly to the side and reached for the mouse to click open the Jing Hua University¡¯s school form.
He immediately saw her response.
Especially thest line, ¡®I will do my best to be more outstanding. Perhaps one day, I¡¯ll be able to stand close to him.¡¯
The words conveyed her helplessness and a deep sense of inferiority.
Bai Qinghao tightened his arms around Fang Xinxin¡¯s soft figure. His gaze was filled with heartache for her. ¡°Catching up to me... Fang Xinxin, I never knew you felt this way.¡±
She smiled brightly as she did not wish to reveal her inferiorityplex to him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, those are just the words I wrote. I don¡¯t actually feel that way.¡±
Bai Qinghao however, knew that those words were her most truthful inner thoughts.
He clenched his fists as though he was making a difficult decision. He then pursed his lips. ¡°I can finish the Sheng Shi Group right now.¡±
If his sess was an obstacle between the two of them, he was willing to give up everything for her.
¡°You can¡¯t!¡± She pressed her index finger against his lips. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you are the youngest, most sessful man in the country. I admire you for it. You can¡¯t do that or I¡¯ll be guilty for the rest of my life.¡±

Chapter 482: This Was His Secret
She loved him. Even if she could not be of any aid to his future, at the very least, she did not want to hold him back.
¡°But...¡± He seemed to have more to say.
Her expression was stern. ¡°There are no buts!¡±
In her previous life, he had sacrificed his life for her.
She was certain that if she did not insist on this, he would definitely put his words into actions for her.
¡°Promise me that you won¡¯t have thoughts like this again,¡± she requested him earnestly.
¡°In that case, you have to promise me that you¡¯ll never think about leaving me!¡± His expression was especially grave.
¡°Alright.¡± She nodded.
After receiving her promise, Bai Qinghao gave up on his earlier intention.
After all, he was born to be sessful!
He watched her in heartache and said heavily, ¡°In future, no matter what happens, you¡¯ll always have me.¡±
¡°En.¡± At most, she would endure the entire world¡¯s criticisms and jealousy.
Let them be jealous for all they liked.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted onto the forum post on theptop. He rarely looked at posts like this. Normally, he would never respond to such a thing.
For Fang Xinxin¡¯s sake, however, he was willing to break his rules.
It would be easy to delete the post and make use of his power to ensure that this sort of content regarding Fang Xinxin would never appear anywhere again.
But he knew very well that suppressing the public¡¯s voices would only cause their anger to grow.
Resolving the situation properly was the right way to go about things.
Thus, Bai Qinghao shifted the mouse and began registering for an ount on the school form. The website immediately requested his phone number.
Fang Xinxin wondered if he was going to use his own phone number.
If the employees who managed the forum found it and discovered that he was Bai Qinghao, they could attempt to contact him through it.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghao began typing on theptop. He first concealed himself before he began attacking the Jing Hua University forum service. Within three minutes, the website was modified and it no longer required his phone number to register.
Fang Xinxin looked on in shock as Bai Qinghao easily found the weak spot in Jing Hua University¡¯s server. Wasn¡¯t the server made by outstanding students in Jing Hua University who imed that it was invincible?
This...
It turned out that she really did not understand Bai Qinghao well enough. She never expected him to be such an expert hacker!
This discovery left her dumbstruck.
She blinked her big eyes at Bai Qinghao. ¡°My dear, how long would it take for you to attack Jing Hua University¡¯s forum andpletely disable it?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze remained on the screen as he carelessly responded to her. ¡°Ten minutes.¡±
¡°...!¡±
Fang Xinxin was taken aback. She did not have much talent in this aspect. Her expression was filled with admiration as she said, ¡°There are very few internationally famous hackers who could do the same.¡±
¡°En.¡± His lips twitch upwards in apathy.
She took in his cold expression and grew excited. ¡°Is there any fame attached to your hacking abilities?¡±
¡°A little. Someone senselessly gave me a nickname ¨C King of Hell.¡±
Her eyes grew wide.
¡°Fuck! You¡¯re actually the ¡®King of Hell¡¯ that made it to the international ranking for hackers!¡±
No matter how tight the security was or how strong the firewall was, the ¡®King of Hell¡¯ could always easily ovee it. A few years ago, he directly broke into the server of a banking corporation. The other party had beenpletely unaware of this when he contacted them to quickly rece their system, threatening that he would scramble their data and alter it irreversibly otherwise.

Chapter 483: Hao’s Response
Chapter 483: Hao¡¯s Response
Those who had no savings registered under their names could easilye into possession of a serious sum, while those who had savings could quickly lose them.
The bank corporation was immediately frightened into offering him a frightening sum to rebuild the system for them.
He had agreed, but did not take a single cent from them.
He had even broken into a certain museum¡¯s server, but did not steal any documents from them.
There were countless incidents like these. Everyone in the business felt that the ¡®King of Hell¡¯ was a gentleman who merely did this to practice his skill, and did not have any unkind intentions.
The ones who were especially curious had offeredrge amounts of money to anyone who could uncover his identity. However, no matter how capable a hacker was, the attempts to unearth his identity remained unsessful till date.
The ¡®King of Hell¡¯ had barely shown up in the past few years and was gradually being forgotten.
There were always new talents in this circle and Bai Qinghao¡¯s name on the ranking had been reced.
However, most people, including Fang Xinxin, believed that if he showed up again, he would definitely be the first on that list, still!
To think that Bai Qinghao was that famous ¡®King of Hell¡¯!
With his power and status, it was unthinkable that he would indulge in something like hacking. More so, he had never harmed anyone.
This was his well-hidden secret!
The urgent secret that Fang Manxue had rushed over to tell him, about Bai Qinghao¡¯s so-called ¡®woman¡¯, wasn¡¯t a secret at all.
It was simply false information given with the intention of stirring up a conflict.
Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. It took her a long time to return to herself. She mumbled softly. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have told me this.¡±
A lot of other things had also changed in this lifetime.
For example, he had shared this secret with her.
If this had been their previous lives, with the way she had behaved in apletely brainless manner, she was certain that she would have announced it to the world for Bai Chenxi¡¯s sake immediately.
He held such a noble position yet he was also a world-renowned hacker. This news would not only receive a lot of attention, it was possible that people could even attempt to frame him for the crimes that he did not do.
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Bai Qinghao gave her a heavy look.
Since he had told her, he would choose to believe in her.
If she really betrayed him, he wouldn¡¯t be upset about being ruined by her.
Of course, it wasn¡¯t actually that easy to ruin him!
Fang Xinxin decided to seal this secretly tightly in her heart. She earnestly responded. ¡°I won¡¯t tell anyone.¡±
He nodded once and gave her a doting look.
He quickly scanned the hottest forum post. Comments against Fang Xinxin were still flooding in.
He began to use his newly registered ount to write the followingment:
[I am Bai Qinghao. I never expected that one day, my own position would cause such troubles and harm to my fianc¨¦e, Fang Xinxin.
So many of you are criticising Fang Xinxin for never giving anything to me? Some of you are even calling her a vermin...
Very well. Let me tell all of you just how much she has done for me.
The two of us have been engaged since we were young. Due to the Bai family¡¯s status, sending gifts for every festive celebration is nothing but basic respect.
All of you are saying that Fang Xinxin is making use of me to advance her own intentions. You¡¯re trying to force her to leave my side. Now that I think about it, there are far too many people around her who feel the same way. Things have evolved to the point where even unrted strangers think this way.
But none of you know exactly how much I¡¯ve struggled in my attempt to chase after her.]
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms as his fingers tapped heavily against the keyboard.
He continued writing expressionlessly:
[Ever since we were engaged, Fang Xinxin has always been avoiding me and hiding herself away from me. She has also made countless requests to end our engagement over the years. Even when her second sister, Fang Manxue, pretended to be my fianc¨¦e, she begged me not to expose the matter. I was the one who could not endure her being criticised as a third party any longer. I was the one who decided to expose her identity to the public.]

Chapter 484: The Difficult Road Of Chasing After My Wife
Chapter 484: The Difficult Road Of Chasing After My Wife
[It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t know how lucky she is. Instead... I finally understood today that she strongly believes she isn¡¯t good enough for me.
Catching up to me...
Although I¡¯m not one for much emotions, these words of hers leave my heart aching deeply.
It turns out that she has been enduring so much pressure over the years.
In my eyes, I have only ever needed her to be my wife.
To those who called her a vermin... You would never know that I have bought her countless, expensive gifts over the years. Ones that were far more costly than the ones listed in this post. But she has never epted any of them.
If she really wanted expensive things, she could pretend to be unmoved once, twice, or even thrice...
But could she do so for ten years? The truth is that she really doesn¡¯t care for the material goods that I can give her.
I was helpless and could only support the Fang family financially. I originally thought this would let the Fang family help me take better care of Fang Xinxin. But I never expected the vermins in that household to use that money for their own benefits.
I¡¯m not someone who is good at expressing my feelings. Beyond using the material things I had to win her affection, I didn¡¯t know how else I could do it.
Thus, I forced her to ept the things I gave her.
That year, when I learned that she had flunked her college entrance examinations, I spent arge sum obtaining a position for her in a university abroad. This was done without her knowledge. When I learned that she was unwilling to leave her home country, I helped her to transfer into Jing Hua University.
She only told me that the Jing Hua University¡¯s school dormitory was in an especially poor state. I simrly did not inform her when I donated a billion dors to the school under her name.
When I bring her out for meals, I am always the one who decides on the restaurants we visit.
She did not know beforehand when I bought those flowers for her.
She also only found out about the cars I bought when I showed them to her.
Do you guys understand what I am trying to say?
She has never asked for any item or money from me.
Previously, I gave her a sum of eight million dors but she immediately transferred it back to mypany¡¯s ount.
Every single cent I¡¯ve spent on her was done against her wishes. I did it without her knowing in the hope that she would have no choice but to ept it.
She isn¡¯t a greedy person. She is such a wonderful girl, yet you all are calling her bad names?
If she really wishes to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s, vermin, to be honest, I am willing to give everything I have, to her.
For the past ten years, I¡¯ve attempted countless methods to forcefully bind her, who was so intent on leaving, to my side]
...
He took in a draw of his cigarette and was silent for a long moment.
[Now that we¡¯re done talking about me, let¡¯s talk about my fianc¨¦e.
She is only a student. She has yet to properly step into society. It¡¯s not fair to talk about money.
But there are certain emotions and silent efforts that cannot be measured with money.
As everyone knows, not long ago, my fianc¨¦e weighed over 90 kilograms. These days, her weight is only around 45 kilograms. She has lost more than half of her weight.
Dieting...
It¡¯s easy to lose a few kilograms. But do you know how much my fianc¨¦e had to endure to lose that much weight?
She forced herself to eat very little. No matter how much food I prepared for her, or how I coaxed her to eat, she always refused to have more than a few mouthfuls.
How many of you can resist the temptation of countless delicacies?
She always woke up bright and early every morning. She hiked up the mountain for two hours when the sun rose, two hours when the sun was setting, and for two more hours when the sky turned dark.
Every single day, she spent six hours training hard no matter if it was sunny or raining. This is extremely difficult for a girl. How many of you could achieve something like this?
Normally, even when she is resting, she makes sure to do yoga.
She even refused my arrangement for a chauffeur to send her to school and has always been walking to school. The distance from our home to her school is more than ten kilometres. The journey back and forth is more than twenty kilometres each day.]

Chapter 485: Xin Has Also Done A Lot
Chapter 485: Xin Has Also Done A Lot
[Was it easy?
She endured so many hardships to lose weight for my sake. Even though her weight is of no importance to me.
Please don¡¯t say that she deserved it. All of you have so much to say even after she lost the excess weight. What would happen if she still was overweight? Should I be thankful that you haven¡¯t killed her with your criticisms?
For a long time, she rejected so much food for me. She ran for six hours and walked more than twenty kilometres every single day.
I¡¯ll ask simply: Are there any fianc¨¦es like her, who would silently contribute so much without saying a single word?
If there aren¡¯t, please keep your mouths shut.
I and my personal rtionships aren¡¯t ountable to anyone. I¡¯m very busy with my work. It¡¯s also impossible for me to spend time responding to a post like this.
I¡¯m making an exception for Fang Xinxin this time.
I¡¯m requesting for the people who are blind to the truth to stop criticising my fianc¨¦e and calling her names. Please don¡¯t ruin the rtionship I fought so hard to regain!
¨C Bai Qinghao]
Bai Qinghao posted the longment that he had written. At the same time, he edited his ount details to show that his identity was officially verified.
Normally, a newly postedment would get pushed all the way back. If anyone else had posted this, it likely wouldn¡¯t have gained any traction.
But he was Bai Qinghao. This post was pushed upwards at the speed of light. Quickly, it gained a hundred likes, a thousand likes, three thousand likes...
There was no need for the moderators to help him out. All the popr posts were naturally pushed upwards. Bai Qinghao¡¯s post immediately went to the very top where everyone could see it.
Although Fang Xinxin was seated in hisp, her head had been lowered as she scrolled through her own phone. She had not paid attention to what he typed.
She was waiting to read it after thement was made.
To her surprise, when she scrolled through the post made by Bai Qinghao, all she saw was an empty space.
But the post was gaining traction at a crazy speed.
She was dumbstruck. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re really popr! You didn¡¯t write anything yet you gained more than five thousand likes within minutes!¡±
The responses to hisment quickly grew to a thousand and was still increasing rapidly.
[Great Bai Qinghao... is this really you?]
[His identity is verified. It¡¯s really him!]
[I¡¯m so moved. It turns out that my idol is so deeply in love. He struggled so hard to chase after his wife. I¡¯m begging all of you to stop saying things to force Fang Xinxin to give up her position. I won¡¯t forgive any of you if you disrupt my idol¡¯s rtionship!]
[Fang Xinxin has also done a lot for Bai Qinghao. All of you who criticised her, better shut up right now. If you were in her ce, I¡¯m certain most of you would have taken all that you could. If you have the ability, go and run for six hours and walk twenty kilometres every day before you speak up. All of you weak girls would surely be left unconscious!]
Fang Xinxin read the responses and saw that people were beginning to support her at frightening speed. They praised her for having a good character and for not being greedy.
The ones who criticised her for being a vermin were also the target of everyone¡¯s attacks now.
Fang Xinxin looked up from thements and turned to the expressionless Bai Qinghao in confusion. She asked in curiosity. ¡°What did you write?¡±
If it really was an empty post, it wouldn¡¯t have caused such a big response.
¡°Nothing much.¡± A hint of difort appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face.
He would never tell her that he intentionally hacked her ount so that she wouldn¡¯t be able to read his response. Everyone else, however, could read it normally.
Fang Xinxin was intelligent. She narrowed her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡±
She recalled that he was a famous hacker and suddenly understood. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you hacked my ount, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Her tone was certain.

Chapter 486: What Did You Steal?
Chapter 486: What Did You Steal?
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
By not denying it, he was admitting to it. Fang Xinxin saw that Butler Zhao had returned from his chores and was standing guard outside the living room. She gestured for him toe in.
Butler Zhao stepped in and took the initiative to say, ¡°Miss Fang, this subordinate has cancelled the orders to take Liu Ping¡¯s life.¡±
She nodded slightly and reached her left hand out. ¡°Lend me your phone.¡±
Zhao Cheng nced at her. She was seated on the young master¡¯sp and was leaningpletely into his embrace. She did not appear graceful whatsoever.
He had some opinions against this but did not express his opinion. Instead, he reached for his phone.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern gaze stopped him. He indicated the butler to back away.
Zhao Cheng was confused. Nheless, he obeyed.
¡°Hey, why are you unwilling to even lend me your phone? You¡¯re so stingy!¡± She grumbled.
The butler was also helpless. What could he do when the young master denied him permission? He did not have the courage to go against his young master¡¯s orders.
Fang Xinxin tried to stand up from Bai Qinghao¡¯sp but was forcefully tugged back. He asked her heavily. ¡°Where are you going?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to borrow someone¡¯s phone and read your post.¡± She spoke as though this was obvious.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to look at it.¡± He demandinglymanded.
She frowned in confusion. ¡°Why are strangers allowed to read it, but not me?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t write thement for you to see.¡±
¡°...¡± What sort of reason was this? She put on a cold expression. ¡°I¡¯m angry now!¡±
He was unmoved. His cold, stern expression did not change and the aura around him remained heavy and powerful.
She did not falter against it. She leaned close to his ear and whispered. ¡°If you make me angry... I¡¯ll take back your ¡®benefits¡¯ for the uing week.¡±
¡°That¡¯s simple. I¡¯ll have the butler take away Liu Ping¡¯s life.¡±
¡°You!¡± She was angered. How was she so firmly held within his palm?
Since Fang Xinxin had promised to let Liu Ping off, she naturally would not go back on her words.
She took in a deep breath and forced a smile. ¡°My dear, I didn¡¯t say anything just now. The benefits will proceed as agreed.¡±
He lifted his dark brows and his gaze was as sharp as knives. ¡°Is this such an easy matter? The only people who dare to go back on their words before me are all beneath.¡±
¡°Beneath what?¡± she questioned.
His subordinates likely wouldn¡¯t have the guts to do this.
¡°The ground.¡±
¡°...¡± Alright, she understood.
They were all dead.
She did not wish to die. She widened her eyes and shot him a flirtatious look. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a littlepensation?¡±
Her coquettish look thoroughly melted his heart. On the surface however, he appeared unfazed. ¡°That¡¯s not enough.¡±
She was stifled with anger.
¡°No.¡± He shook his head directly.
She held her waist in anger. ¡°What do I have to do then?¡±
He held her waist tightly with one hand. His demanding yet frigid gaze held her in ce as he said heavily, ¡°I want you to cooperate with me enthusiastically for the uing week!¡±
¡°Fine, fine, fine,¡± she would agree to it for now.
He finally let the matter go.
Her gaze shifted amongst the bodyguards who were patrolling outside the living room. She deliberated over whom she would ask for a phone fromter.
He seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s no use racking your brains over it. No matter whom you ask, the result will not change.¡±
Without his permission, would they have the courage to lend her their phones?
Her gaze shifted onto his frigid expression. She pouted and insisted. ¡°I want to look at your post no matter what!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± His expression was stern as though there was no way of negotiating this.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin took the initiative to kiss him.
A hint of astonishment shed past his eyes.
Chapter 487: I Knew You Would Cry
Chapter 487: I Knew You Would Cry
She had taken the initiative to kiss him. His frozen heart was instantly overwhelmed with joy.
Fang Xinxin took advantage of his dazed stage and reached into his pocket for his phone.
She was about to lean back when Bai Qinghao tightened his arms around her waist. He pressed his palm against her back and kept her from leaving his arms. He forced her teeth apart and intertwined his tongue with hers intimately.
She tasted so sweet!
He could not help his desire from ring up.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s kiss was dominating. She had no way of resisting it and could only allow herself to be swept away.
Finally, as she grew breathless, he reluctantly ended their kiss.
She took a deep breath and lifted the phone in her hands. ¡°You¡¯ve epted my kiss. In exchange, I want to read thement that you wrote.¡±
He took in her reddened lips and could not find it in him to refuse her. He then took the initiative to unlock his phone for her.
Fang Xinxin immediately opened up the hottest post on Jing Hua University¡¯s forum.
When she read the content of hisment...
Her emotions overwhelmed her and her eyes began to turn misty.
She always believed that she was the one chasing after him.
But it turned out that for the past ten years, he had been struggling so hard and exhausting every method he could possibly think of, to hold onto her.
She felt that this road truly hasn¡¯t been easy for him.
In herst life, she was really a foolish bastard!
She always felt that she had nothing that she could give him.
But it seemed, in his eyes, she had already done so much.
Although this man has never mentioned anything, he had remembered everything she had done.
It was as though he was holding her preciously in his heart. He could see everything that the world was blind to.
She could not control her tears as they rolled down her cheeks.
The sight of her tears seemed to burn his heart.
Bai Qinghao watched her with heartache.
He sighed. ¡°I prevented you from reading the post precisely because I was afraid you would cry.¡±
Yet, she had insisted on reading it.
She smiled despite her tears. ¡°My dear, you¡¯re so smart.¡±
To think he even managed to guess this. ¡°Uuu...¡± Her cries turned louder as she began to sob like a child.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s body jerked heavily. His stern features instantly appeared helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t cry...¡±
What was the right way tofort a wailing woman?
¡°Don¡¯t cry!¡± Her sobs were growing even louder.
Bodyguard Liu Li¡¯s body had turned swollen due to being stung by bees. Boss has specially granted him a period of leave to heal from his injuries. He had finally recovered fully and was about to step into the vi to report to his employer.
He approached the entrance only to hear Fang Xinxin wailing loudly inside the vi.
He recalled the rumour that Boss had recently brought a beautiful woman to Yu Ting Vi and was hiding her away. Could it be that Fang Xinxin was thoroughly heartbroken and was about to be forced off her position?
If this had been in the past, Liu Li would definitely have set off fireworks to celebrate Fang Xinxin¡¯s exit.
But Fang Xinxin was the one who had begged Boss to keep his little life.
Furthermore, if she was really chased away, she would never be able to find another fianc¨¦ as outstanding as his boss. As he thought about it, he could not bear the idea of her leaving.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart was in shambles at the sight of Fang Xinxin in tears. He patted her slender back lightly. ¡°Be good. If you don¡¯t cry, I¡¯ll give you anything that you want.¡±
As expected, she stopped crying and asked softly. ¡°Can I cancel the week of pensation¡¯ then?¡±
A hint of frustration shed past his gaze. However, the sight of her shining eyes and her tears caused the pain in his heart to worsen.
Since she was unwilling, he would give in to her. ¡°Yes.¡±
Fang Xinxin knew that he had specially taken a week of leave to apany her. Considering how busy he was, she could not let this go to waste. ¡°No way, I was joking. I¡¯ll give you all the pensation¡¯ and ¡®interest¡¯ in the uing week!¡±

Chapter 488: Changing Targets?
Chapter 488: Changing Targets?
In a rare urrence, the astonishment on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face could not be concealed. He asked in uncertainty. ¡°Aren¡¯t you unwilling?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way I would be unwilling.¡± She pouted. ¡°I said that intentionally to tease you.¡±
She had wanted to see just how much he could dote on her.
The results were far beyond her expectations.
Truly, no one was better than Bai Qinghao!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart was flooded with joy. He gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t cry!¡±
She pressed her face against his chest and felt a sense of security enveloping her.
Hisrge palms were pressed gently against her back. As he lowered his head to watch her, his gaze was unbelievably doting.
For her, he was truly willing to give up his life!
Fang Xinxin held Bai Qinghao¡¯s phone and began to scroll through the forum. She watched as theizens switched sides slowly and began to speak up for her.
[Although Fang Xinxin is slightly ugly, she is indeed quite a good fianc¨¦e. Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes would never choose wrongly!]
[I didn¡¯t know that Fang Xinxin silently did so much for Bai Qinghao. She has never mentioned any of it. Even as a passer-by, my heart is aching for her...]
[Who dares to fucking criticise Fang Xinxin for not contributing anything! If you force her to give up her status as Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, this old man will make you pay with your blood!]
...
Inside the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Manxue watched as the ounts she had used to criticise Fang Xinxin were flooded with negative responses from her schoolmates.
¡°¡®Jealous whore¡¯, ¡®Envious trash¡¯, if you dare to ruin our idol¡¯s happiness, we¡¯ll toss you out of the school gates!¡±
A mountain of enragedments caused Fang Manxue to lose all courage to argue with them.
Everyone had yet to forget about the matter of her pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If they found out that she was the one behind thesements, she would be ruined.
Fang Manxue watched as Fang Xinxin instantly obtained the entire¡¯s school¡¯s protection. She threw her phone on the ground in anger. ¡°I¡¯m angered to death! Bai Qinghao actually personally responded to the post and helped Fang Xinxin escape yet another crisis!¡±
Fang Ln watched her coldly. ¡°If you¡¯re unable to withstand such a small matter, how will you deal with bigger matters? If you¡¯re angry, so be it. Why did you throw your phone on the ground? Thankfully, it was cushioned by the grass and wasn¡¯t damaged.¡±
She bent down to pick up the phone carefully.
Fang Manxue shouted with disbelief. ¡°Mom, isn¡¯t it just a phone? So what if it breaks!¡±
¡°If this was in the past, and Fang Xinxin was still bringing an infinite amount of support from Bai Qinghao to us, I wouldn¡¯t have made ament even if you destroyed one hundred phones.¡± Fang Ln narrowed her eyes slightly.
The wrinkles on the corner of her eyes appeared more obvious with this change in her expression. ¡°Right now, the Fang Group¡¯s money flow has been cut off. We all have to save up. Life isn¡¯t easy. That phone of yours costs several thousand dors. If you damage it, it won¡¯t be so easy for us to buy you another one.¡±
¡°We can¡¯t be poor to the point where we can¡¯t buy another phone...¡±
¡°We only have a small sum left. We have to use it for more important matters.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression turned heavy. She scanned Fang Manxue up and down. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a new teacher in your school, named Ya Lun?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. He is our new French teacher.¡±
¡°Seduce him.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s gaze appeared calctive for a moment. ¡°I investigated his background. Ya Lun Wilson is a nobleman from Scond. Previously, the Wilson family hadpletely disappeared. Yet, they suddenly reappeared in the past few years and gained power very quickly. Put simply, though Ya Lun cannotpete against Bai Qinghao, he is nheless very wealthy. If you are able to hold onto him, we won¡¯t just resolve the Fang Group¡¯s financial difficulties but also make a profit. You won¡¯t lose anything by marrying him either.¡±
#
Chapter 489: You’re My Only One
Chapter 489: You¡¯re My Only One
Fang Manxue stomped her feet in disdain. ¡°I have no interest in someone like Ya Lun. I told you that I won¡¯t marry unless it¡¯s Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°If you were really able to seduce Bai Qinghao, I naturally would have supported you. But you haven¡¯t been able to do it till date. Listen to me and find an opportunity to approach Ya Lun.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression turned angry. ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t know this but, within a few days of Ya Luning to our school, he made a public deration that he is pursuing Fang Xinxin. Even if I want to seduce him, I don¡¯t have any opportunity.¡±
When Fang Ln heard this, her expression was filled with hatred. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that whore! After stealing Bai Qinghao from you, she actually has thoughts about Ya Lun, as well?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Fang Manxue was simrly enraged. ¡°She is really an ugly vixen!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. Between Bai Qinghao and Ya Lun, you have to seduce one of them.¡±
A hint of viciousness shed past Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Bai Qinghao, you can only be mine.¡±
After Fang Xinxin was thoroughly disfigured, she would no longer be able to remain Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e for long.
...
In the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room, Fang Xinxin watched as the overall attitude in the forum page changed gradually.
Although thements were on her side, gradually, people began to directly address Bai Qinghao¡¯s newly created ount:
[Great Bai Qinghao, are you interested in getting another girlfriend? I¡¯ve had a crush on you forever. Give me an opportunity. I won¡¯t snatch the position of Madam Bai. I¡¯m willing to just sleep with you.]
[My idol, you are the most handsome man I have ever met. I love you. Ahhh, I really love you!]
[Great idol, I was so agitated when I saw your ount. Please give me some attention and respond to me...]
Various confessions began to appear and soon, there were more than two thousandments with such content. Furthermore, most people¡¯s ounts were attached with their photos. Through their photos, these people unted their charming figures, attractive appearances and outstanding grades.
¡°Fuck!¡± Fang Xinxin was overwhelmed by these images. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re too popr.¡± The moment the crowd of women found him, their eyes seemed to glow with desire.
¡°What?¡± Bai Qinghao did not understand.
¡°A lot of beautiful women have registered ounts on the forum to dere their love for you.¡± She pouted unhappily. ¡°Do you want to take a look?¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing to see. I won¡¯t waste time on meaningless things.¡± Bai Qinghao closed the forum page and took in the way she was pouting adorably. ¡°Are you jealous?¡±
This was so amazing. To think that she cared about him to this extent.
¡°Hmph.¡± She was depressed.
That her fianc¨¦ was too outstanding was also a form of pressure she could not escape from.
Bai Qinghao ran his fingers through her long hair. The soft sensation caused his heart to soften. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you know that you¡¯re the only woman that matters to me.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
He held her hand and pressed her palm against her chest. ¡°Should I dig my heart out for you to see?¡±
That¡¯s too violent!
Fang Xinxin wanted to say ¡®yes¡¯, but she recalled thest time when this man nearly disfigured himself because of a few words from her. If he really dug his heart out for her...
It wasn¡¯t worth trying.
¡°No, no. I believe you.¡± She shook her head quickly.
She nced outside the window and saw that the sky was a stunning blue colour. She tried to stand up from hisp.
However, his arms held her firmly within his embrace.
She took in his stern features and frowned in heartache. ¡°You¡¯ve been holding me for so long. Your legs must have turned numb by now.¡±

Chapter 490: Making Friends With The Dog
Chapter 490: Making Friends With The Dog
¡°You¡¯re as light as a feather. My legs won¡¯t turn numb.¡± He liked holding her.
¡°I want to go take a look at Lei Dian.¡± She pursed her lips.
A hint of astonishment shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t you hate it the most? You even said that you didn¡¯t want to see it again for the rest of your life?¡±
That was why whenever she was in the Yu Ting Vi, he kept Lei Dian within the fences andmanded the dog not to leave the premises.
If this was any other time, Lei Dian would have been able to move freely within the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s yard.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over his words. She had told him so two years ago. To think that he still remembered it so well. ¡°I was just joking. I¡¯ve decided to be friends with it.¡±
She tried to stand up again. However, before she could do so, Bai Qinghao lifted her into a bridal carry and walked straight out of the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s entrance. He was headed to the backyard.
Fang Xinxin wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into his embrace. She felt that just being here with him was the biggest form of happiness.
Even though they were quite a distance away from the fence, she could still hear Lei Dian barking and howling like a wolf.
These sounds weren¡¯t normal noises but an expression of a dog¡¯s joy when it met its owner. The cries came from deep within its throat.
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms as he approached the fence. Lei Dian¡¯s tail wagged furiously and it barked loudly.
¡°Sit down!¡± Bai Qinghao instructed.
Lei Dian immediately sat down obediently on the floor.
Bai Qinghao ced Fang Xinxin down and wrapped his shoulder around her. ¡°She is my woman. In future, she will be your owner as well. You cannot be rude to her.¡±
It wasn¡¯t clear if Lei Dian understood his words. The barks it made at Fang Xinxin sounded especially unfriendly.
Fang Xinxin felt insulted.
It was fine if Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates disliked her. But to think that even his dog hated her. Sigh...
It could be seen that she was truly that hateful in the past.
She wanted the people around him, including his dog, to change their minds about her.
Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°Going against my orders, are you asking to be disciplined?¡±
¡°Uu...¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao, why don¡¯t you let it out?¡± Fang Xinxin nced at it. ¡°I¡¯ve been here for so many days. It hasn¡¯t been able to move freely in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s yard because of me. I feel bad.¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid it¡¯ll bite you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t if you nag at it a few more times.¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows once more. ¡°I won¡¯t waste my breath.¡±
He lifted his hand and made a gesture to Lei Dian. Lei Dian immediately stretched it¡¯s body like a wild horse and jumped over the fence. It circled around Bai Qinghao in excitement.
Fang Xinxin attempted to approach it. As Lei Dian came close to her, it sniffed her without any unhappiness in its gaze. ¡°Eh? It doesn¡¯t seem to hate me?¡±
¡°You¡¯re carrying my scent on your body.¡± Bai Qinghao rubbed her head. ¡°It won¡¯t treat you like an enemy.¡±
¡°Come on, Lei Dian, let¡¯s go to the kitchen to look for food.¡± Fang Xinxin jogged a few steps ahead and turned back to see that Lei Dian was still waiting obediently by Bai Qinghao¡¯s feet. It refused to move.
Bai Qinghao, on the other hand, was gazing at Fang Xinxin¡¯s body movement.
Since she was able to run, it meant that her body was rtively fine. He could take her as he pleasedter.
In fact, Fang Xinxin was enduring the soreness in her body. She did not notice Bai Qinghao¡¯s thoughts. She waved at Lei Dian. ¡°Come on!¡±
Besides using food, she did not know how else to improve her rtionship with the dog.
Bai Qinghao instructed Lei Dian. ¡°Go.¡±
Chapter 491: Compensation
Chapter 491: Compensation
Lei Dian finally began to follow Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin headed to the kitchen and personally prepared arge portion of rice and meat for it.
Initially, Lei Dian refused to eat. However, after receiving Bai Qinghao¡¯s permission, it lowered it¡¯s head and began munching on the food with great enthusiasm.
Fang Xinxin saw that his fur appeared twice as thick as that of normal dogs. ¡°You say, you¡¯re a proper dog. But why is it that when you eat, you appear just like a pig?¡±
Lei Dian appeared to understand her. It lifted its head and narrowed its eyes in warning.
Fang Xinxin immediately recalled the time when it had bitten her. Her scalp tingled in fear as she rushed to hide behind Bai Qinghao. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that this dog of yours can really understand human words?¡±
¡°It¡¯s considered to be a talented dog. It¡¯s intelligence isparable to that of a ten years old child.¡±
She nced at him. ¡°Even your dog is talented. You must have chosen it carefully, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°No.¡± He responded expressionlessly. ¡°Once, when I was in the outskirts of the capital, I noticed a young puppy guarding it¡¯s mother¡¯s carcass. It had been caught in a hunter¡¯s trap. I saw that the puppy appeared pitiful so I brought it with me. However, it quickly escaped my hold and returned to it¡¯s mother¡¯s side. After I helped it to bury it¡¯s mother¡¯s body, it became obedient.¡±
Fang Xinxin was moved by his words. She turned to look at Lei Dian. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that. It seems like this is a very loyal dog.¡±
¡°It¡¯s very fierce. I¡¯ve consulted professionals. It¡¯s a mixed breed with both wolf and dog genes.¡± Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°It has half the instincts of a wolf. When I¡¯m not around, don¡¯t approach it on your own. It might be dangerous for you.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you let it roam freely around the yard? Give it the same treatment it used to have.¡± She did not wish for Lei Dian to live ufortably.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when it¡¯s more familiar with you.¡± Bai Qinghao saw that Lei Dian was almost done eating. He then waved his hand.
Lei Dian immediately swallowed and turned to leave the vi.
¡°Eh? Why did you make it leave?¡± Fang Xinxin stretched her neck in it¡¯s direction.
Bai Qinghao lifted her into his arms once more. He stepped into the vi¡¯s elevator and pressed for the third floor. ¡°We¡¯ve wasted too much time on the dog. All your remaining time belongs to me!¡±
¡°...¡± She had no way of arguing with this.
She leaned into his arms and took in his cold expression. She could feel his strength from the way he held her. The thought of what was to follow caused her heart to tremble.
He lowered his head slightly and nibbled on her ears. ¡°You¡¯re the one who said you¡¯ll pensate¡¯ me with ¡®interest¡¯ for a week.¡±
¡°I... can I go back on my words?¡± She smiled awkwardly with a wink.
¡°What do you think?¡± A hint of ruthlessness shed past his eyes.
If she dared to say ¡®yes¡¯, he would show her the consequences!
¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t do that, I won¡¯t do that.¡± She rushed to shake her head in fear.
She did not have the backbone to argue with him. This was because hermander was far too fierce.
After they arrived on the third floor, Bai Qinghao carried her into the bedroom and used a damp towel to wipe away the medicine on her face.
She harrumphed coldly. ¡°Why are you wiping my medicine away? Do you find me ugly?¡±
He patted her shoulder lightly. ¡°What are you talking about? Previously at the hotel, weren¡¯t you the one who wanted to wash it away?¡±
In fact, after the medicine was removed, her face appeared especially gorgeous. His desire for her instantly grew stronger.
¡°Ah, alright, then.¡± She wanted to dy further, but the next thing she knew, Bai Qinghao had pressed her down on the bed.
Her body was still aching yet he didn¡¯t leave her with anything to speak. He kissed her firmly.

Chapter 492: Satiated
His body was especiallyrge and strong. His back was broad and his waist was slender. As shey beneath him, she appeared especially soft and weak. The contrast made for a provoking sight.
The storm inside the room did not cease for a long time...
Aside from eating and sleeping, as well as asional breaks, Fang Xinxin was ruthlessly taken by Bai Qinghao for seven days straight.
She nearly died from his actions!
On the final night, Fang Xinxin felt as if her bones were about to shatter.
Bai Qinghao held her in his arms while theyid on the enormous bed. He was extremely satisfied. He had not expected her to properly cooperate with him. Her passion was undeniable.
Needless to say, he was very pleased with her performance.
Through the faint moonlight, he took in her stunning beauty with his ink ck eyes. He watched her as though she was the most precious thing he had ever seen.
His frozen, ruthless heart was filled with love for her.
If she had opened her eyes, she would have noticed the overwhelming emotions in his gaze.
Unfortunately, she was exhausted to the point where she could not even lift her eyelids.
The next morning, Fang Xinxin woke up alone on the bed. The space that Bai Qinghao normally upied was empty. She felt a little disappointed by this.
Although they had gone overboard for the past seven days, after one night of good rest, her body only felt slightly sore.
She breathed in the faint scent of medicine on her skin.
Bai Qinghao must have applied the medicine for her once more. Otherwise, she was certain she would be doomed right now.
She sat up and saw that there was a post-it note on her vanity.
She got off the bed and endured the ache in her legs to approach the table. She picked up the note and saw that the writer¡¯s handwriting was in cursive. It appeared bold and imposing:
[An urgent matter came up at the Bai family. Don¡¯t forget to have breakfast. Remember to think about me!]
This was Bai Qinghao¡¯s handwriting. She recognised it.
He even reminded her to think about him...
Even his words were as demanding as his personality.
Her disappointment instantly faded at the sight of the note he left behind.
She went into the bathroom and soaked in the hot water for twenty minutes. She then changed into a fresh set of clothes and applied a thinyer of medicine before stepping out of the room.
¡°Miss Fang, your breakfast is ready.¡± Butler Zhao spoke up respectfully.
¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to be polite. This is my duty.¡±
Fang Xinxin went downstairs and had breakfast. Post that, she stepped out of the vi to see that Liu Li was standing guard outside.
She sized him up and saw that he was fully recovered from his previous swollen figure. ¡°It seems like your time as a pig was short-lived.¡±
Liu Li lifted his slightly good looking face. ¡°Why does Madam sound a little upset about this?¡±
¡°Of course. You recovered in ten days. I was fat and ugly for several years.¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t say that it was only for a few years.¡± Liu Li took in her charming figure. ¡°Almost everyone is aware that only your figure is good. Your face remains unattractive.¡±
Fang Xinxin was toozy to inform him that this was thest day she needed to apply her medicine. ¡°Is that so?¡±
She suspected that Liu Li¡¯s dog eyes would be blinded by her stunning beauty tomorrow.
She headed for the row of luxury cars parked in the backyard.
The ten luxury cars were brand new and shiny. They made for an imposing sight.
Bai Qinghao was truly generous...
Whenever she saw the cars he had bought her, she could not help the red hearts that appeared in her eyes.
Tong Yu stood by one of the cars to ask. ¡°Miss Fang, where are you headed for today? Which car would you like to take?¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed at the Bugatti. It was the most expensive car here. ¡°I¡¯m going to school.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± Tong Yu climbed into the driver¡¯s seat. Liu Li also opened the door and upied the shotgun seat.
Fang Xinxin nced at him in confusion. ¡°Eunuch Liu, are you trying to get a free ride?¡±
#
Chapter 493: Bugatti Vs Ferrari
Chapter 493: Bugatti Vs Ferrari
When Tong Yu heard her addressing him as ¡®Eunuch Liu¡¯, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
¡°Please let me off, Madam!¡± Liu Li sped his hands together and begged pitifully. ¡°Madam, I know that you¡¯re generous. Please forgive me for my mistakes. I won¡¯t ever call you ugly again.¡±
Fang Xinxin was a very forgiving person. ¡°Deal.¡±
Hmph, ugly, ugly, ugly! Liu Li appeared defeated on the surface. Internally however, he made sure to repeat his insult for her thrice.
Fang Xinxin took in Liu Li¡¯s rebellious expression and knew that he was not being truthful.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates were all well-trained. It was inevitable that some of them would have stubborn characters. As long as he did not vocalise his thoughts, she would not bother with his opinions about her.
¡°Boss instructed me to follow by your side and to protect you,¡± Liu Li exined.
Fang Xinxin was well aware that Bai Qinghao¡¯s status was special. Eight days ago, he had admitted on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum that he cared for her.
Right now, to his enemies, she was one of his greatest weaknesses.
Thus, it was necessary to ensure that she was well protected at all times.
However, she did not like being followed. She found it stifling.
Forget it. She would ept this for the time being.
The Bugatti Veyron was the ultimate luxury car of all luxury cars. The moment they drove into the school, they became the centre of everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Wow, it¡¯s a Bugatti. That model is a limited edition one. It¡¯s worth more than 25 million dors!¡± One of her schoolmates eximed.
¡°I wonder who it is that owns such an expensive car...¡± The students gathered around to whisper among themselves. Fang Xinxin alighted from the car and greeted them with a smile. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡±
¡°It¡¯s Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e...¡±
One of the girls asked her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, is this one of the cars Bai Qinghao bought for you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± She admitted to it openly.
¡°It¡¯s too extravagant! The car is so shiny that it¡¯s blinding my eyes! I want one too!¡± The girl stared at the sparkling new car with envious eyes.
Fang Manxue¡¯s Ferrari was parked right next to it. It was worth around six hundred thousand dors. If this had been any other day, the car would certainly have caught a lot of attention.
However, right now, Fang Manxue and her car were beingpletely neglected.
Even Fang Manxue¡¯s own beauty was not as attention-drawing as the limited edition Bugatti.
Thankfully, after disappearing for seven days, Fang Xinxin finally came to school!
Fang Manxue took in the medicine on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face. Her gaze then shifted to the bag she always carried with her.
She decided to look for an opportunity to ¡®tamper¡¯ with her medicine.
Previously, she did not have any opportunities when Fang Xinxin was hiding away at the Yu Ting Vi. However, things were different now that she was in school.
Fang Manxue eyed the limited edition Bugatti in jealousy. She gritted her teeth hatefully. ¡°Everyone, stop staring at the Bugatti. So what if Fang Xinxin has a good car? She had to rely on a man to obtain it.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her in disdain. ¡°Second Sister, quit being jealous. You speak as though you relied on your own abilities to buy your car.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Manxue looked a little humiliated. ¡°At the very least, it wasn¡¯t gifted by a man. My family bought it for me.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Both your mother and you are vermin. You took advantage of me to obtain countless benefits from the Bai family. When you were forced to return the billion dors to Bai Qinghao¡¯spany, he did not charge any interest.¡± She sized Fang Manxue¡¯s Ferarri up. ¡°That car of yours is only worth six hundred thousand dors. It¡¯s nowhere near sufficient to pay up for the interest amount owed. Do you believe that, if you dare to mock me again with your words, I¡¯ll make you give up that car of yours for the interest you owe?¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes were nearly bulging out due to her anger.
¡°Enough, Fang Manxue. You should quit being jealous of your sister.¡± Someone stepped in to mediate the situation. ¡°Didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao already say that everything he owns belongs to Fang Xinxin?¡±
Fang Manxue nearly smashed her teeth with the way she was grinding them. The anger in her heart could barely be controlled.
#
Chapter 494: Fang Manxue’s Clarification
Chapter 494: Fang Manxue¡¯s rification
She was going to snatch all of this back!
Sheposed herself and put on a brilliant smile. ¡°Third Sister, we¡¯re a family. There¡¯s no need to be so calctive.¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid that you and I don¡¯t belong to the same family.¡± Fang Xinxin left these ambiguous words behind and turned to leave.
A crowd of students gathered around Fang Manxue to ask her. ¡°What did your third sister mean by that? Could it be that she¡¯s not your mom¡¯s actual daughter?¡±
¡°How could that be?¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s smile was stiff. ¡°Xinxin is just angry at our mom for almost causing her to be misunderstood as unfilial. She¡¯s simply throwing a tantrum.¡±
¡°But I heard that Bai Qinghao has already ceased all financial support to the Fang Group. He even dered that there¡¯s no need for anyone to give him face and to take care of the Fang family when ites to business.¡± One of the students spoke up in disbelief. ¡°This can¡¯t be as simple as a tantrum, right?¡±
¡°No matter what, Fang Xinxin has already done a DNA test with our mom. My mother is also Fang Xinxin¡¯s mother. This is a proven fact.¡± Fang Manxue nced at the students around her. ¡°I¡¯m warning all of you. Don¡¯t spread rumours around carelessly.¡±
¡°Tsk!¡± Everyone shot her looks of disdain.
A female student spoke up unhappily. ¡°Who do you think you¡¯re warning? Do you still think that you¡¯re that outstanding Goddess Manxue? We used to call you a ¡®Goddess¡¯ because you fooled us into believing that you¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. You worthless liar! Now that we know that Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t on your side, do you still believe that you¡¯re of any value?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it! Your mouth is so despicable. Did you forget the beating you received at ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯?¡± Someone rolled their sleeves up and shifted as though they were moving to hit her. ¡°Do you need me to help you remember?¡±
Fang Manxue was terrified of angering the masses. She rushed to apologise. ¡°Please don¡¯t be angry, everyone. This was all my fault. I have an urgent matter to attend to. I¡¯ll take my leave first...¡±
She then rushed to follow Fang Xinxin.
When she saw Liu Li standing guard at Fang Xinxin¡¯s side, a hint of frustration shed past her eyes.
It seemed like Bai Qinghao had even arranged a bodyguard for Fang Xinxin.
In that case, how was she supposed to ¡®tamper¡¯ with Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine? Wasn¡¯t this much harder than she had expected?
She needed toe up with a method to make Liu Li leave.
She jogged forward to walk by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. ¡°Third Sister, why did you leave so quickly?¡±
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to her. Manxue maintained her smile and shot Liu Li a nce.
She then whispered. ¡°Isn¡¯t he the bodyguard that Bai Qinghao usually keeps by his side? Why is he here in school with you? Do you know what I heard the other students discussing earlier?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡±
¡°You should be, Third Sister.¡± Fang Manxue spoke as though she had good intentions. ¡°The other students are saying that Bai Qinghao doesn¡¯t believe in you, that he is afraid you¡¯ll cheat on him. That¡¯s why he intentionally arranged for someone to watch you.¡±
If this had been in the past, Fang Xinxin would definitely have ordered Liu Li to scram.
To Fang Manxue¡¯s surprise, Fang Xinxin stopped walking and turned to narrow her eyes at her. ¡°Second Sister, are you trying to be funny? Didn¡¯t Jiang Xingnan, that bastard, say that my appearance is poor to the point where even a ghost wouldn¡¯t take a liking to me. How could Bai Qinghao be afraid that I¡¯ll cheat on him?¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was insincere. ¡°Don¡¯t be so self-deprecating...¡±
¡°Self-deprecating?¡± Fang Xinxin smirked mockingly. ¡°Previously, didn¡¯t you tell me that I needed to be aware of how ugly I am?¡±
¡°You also have your own strong points. Besides, you¡¯re no longer fat.¡±
¡°Stay further away from me.¡± Fang Xinxin suddenly turned in a different direction and walked away.
But Fang Manxue rushed to follow after her.
Fang Xinxin saw that Ya Lun was about to head into the school building.
She rushed to catch up to him, whilst instructing the man beside her. ¡°Liu Li, stop Fang Manxue from following after me.¡±

Chapter 495: Ya Lun’s Problem
Chapter 495: Ya Lun¡¯s Problem
She had serious business to conduct. It wasn¡¯t suitable for problematic individuals to sniff around her at the time.
Liu Li stretched his arm out and stopped Fang Manxue from chasing after her. ¡°Miss Fang, please do not follow.¡±
¡°Who is following?¡± Fang Manxue looked angry. ¡°This road doesn¡¯t belong to Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°It¡¯s true that the road doesn¡¯t belong to me. I have something to say to Teacher Ya Lun. Don¡¯t let her approach us.¡± Fang Xinxin instructed from afar.
Liu Li responded to Manxue. ¡°Did you hear that? You may walk as you please, to wherever you wish to, but please refrain from following after anyone.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Fang Manxue stomped her feet but gave up on her attempt.
Fang Xinxin, that vixen. She had an outstanding fianc¨¦ like Bai Qinghao, yet, she was openly seducing Teacher Ya Lun!
If this was any other time, Ya Lun would definitely have rushed over at the sight of Fang Xinxin. This time, however, he quickly moved to leave.
¡°Teacher Ya Lun!¡± Fang Xinxin called after him.
However, he only quickened his steps. She jogged forward and stopped him right before he could turn around the corner. ¡°Why are you running? Do you have a guilty conscience?¡±
Ya Lun scratched his blonde hair. His gem-like eyes appeared to be sparkling as he shot her his signature smile. ¡°Hi, Xinxin!¡±
He directly ignored her mention of his ¡®guilty conscience¡¯.
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes at him ruthlessly. ¡°I told you earlier that I want to see Wang Liangping within a week. By now, nine days have passed.¡±
¡°This, um...¡± Ya Lun¡¯s smile grew increasingly dazzling. ¡°The thief, Wang Liangping, is still abroad evading our captures...¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin felt that something was definitely strange about this matter. ¡°I¡¯m informing you officially right now that I¡¯m taking back my request for the Hei Xiao organisation to find Wang Liangping. After this, I will make sure the entire world is aware of how useless your organisation is!¡±
¡°No, don¡¯t!¡± Ya Lun rushed to wave his hand.
He was truly frustrated. He hade to this school with the intention of using the favourable position to pursue her.
He had decided that the only way to keep Wang Liangping in their hands without ruining the organisation¡¯s reputation was to offer himself up generously.
However, he did not expect her to refuse his pursuit. She even took a seven day leave from school.
Most importantly, she had an extremely powerful fianc¨¦. Unlike any other women, much of his usual strategies could not be attempted on her.
¡°Tell me then, when will I get to see Wang Liangping?¡± Fang Xinxin was intelligent.
She understood that the way Hei Xiao was dying this matter indicated that they were not truly interested in locating the person.
In fact, she had already instructed someone else to start looking for Wang Liangping. Unfortunately, the results she obtained was that Wang Liangping had disappeared in Mysia. He did not leave any traces behind whatsoever!
Ya Lun could only continue lying through his teeth. ¡°My dear client, we really couldn¡¯t find the person. How about this!. You take your request back and we¡¯ll pay you a good amount ofpensation. In exchange, don¡¯t publicise to anyone that your request was not fulfilled. What do you say?¡±
¡°No.¡± She had the feeling that aside from Hei Xiao, no one else would be able to locate Wang Liangping for her.
Ya Lun was extremely upset.
If this was anyone else, he would already have shot her to death. However, the person whom he was dealing with, was Fang Xinxin. He really could not do anything against her.
His boss was too much. He left such a difficult mess for him to clean up. ¡°What do you want from us then?¡±
¡°You have to find him!¡± Her tone was firm.
¡°I¡¯ll do it. I¡¯ll do it. I¡¯ll immediately send someone to urgently locate him for you. We¡¯ll definitely get back to you quickly. Please don¡¯t attack our reputation.¡± Ya Lun rushed to say.
He did not wait for her to reply before he ran away.
Fang Xinxin reached her hand out to his rapidly disappearing back view. ¡°Hey...¡±

Chapter 496: Why Won’t You Let The Person Go
Chapter 496: Why Won¡¯t You Let The Person Go
She had yet to agree to his words.
She brought her phone out to give him a call, only to learn that his phone was switched off!
That was fine. She had a French sster. She would head to his office after ss to talk to him once more.
Fang Manxue stretched her neck forward in an attempt to listen to their conversation. Unfortunately, the distance kept her from catching even a single word.
She saw that Ya Lun seemed to have run away. Did this mean that he wasn¡¯t that interested in Fang Xinxin?
Yeah, that¡¯s how it looked.
Fang Xinxin was extremely ugly. Did she truly believe that all the men in the world revolved around her? Since Ya Lun did not have feelings for Fang Xinxin, perhaps, she had an opportunity now?
Fang Manxue considered whether she ought to listen to her mother¡¯s advice and seduce Ya Lun.
However, she thought about Bai Qinghao, the man she had admired since she was young!
She refused to give up. She did not want Ya Lun. What she wanted was to be Madam Bai!
Ya Lun headed to an isted area and immediately made a call to the mastermind behind Hei Xiao. ¡°Boss, Fang Xinxin haspletely backed me into a corner. She insists that we hand Wang Liangping over!¡±
¡°Useless. You couldn¡¯t even handle a small matter like this,¡± the man¡¯s frigid voice conveyed his displeasure.
¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m useless.¡± Ya Lun rushed to admit. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe and handle Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°...¡±
The only response he received was silence that left his scalp prickling ufortably.
Ya Lun cried out internally. ¡®Boss, if you can¡¯t handle this either, you can¡¯t keep scolding me for being useless!¡¯
As he did not wish for his life to end, he could only grumble in his mind. He did not dare to express his displeasure in front of his boss. ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve locked Wang Liangping up for so long. How about we send him over to Fang Xinxin now?¡±
As long as they handed Wang Liangping over, Fang Shaohua¡¯s case would immediately improve.
He struggled to understand why his boss was holding onto the man and preventing Fang Shaohua from turning over a new leaf.
¡°We¡¯ll hold him for a while longer,¡± the voice on the other side finally seemed to give in slightly.
¡°But Boss, what am I supposed to say to Fang Xinxin...¡± He was extremely troubled.
¡°Does she know that we have him in our hands?¡±
¡°She doesn¡¯t. But I¡¯ve investigated and found that she has paid another organisation to locate Wang Liangping. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be long before she suspects that he is with us.¡± Ya Lun deliberated over this.
All of a sudden, he asked. ¡°If Fang Xinxin finds out that you¡¯re the person refusing to let go of Wang Liangping...¡±
¡°This matter was naturally done by you,¡± themand was given coldly before the call ended.
¡°No...¡± How did this be his responsibility?
This was clearly unrted to him, alright? Ya Lun stared at his phone as it beeped softly. He felt the urge to cry.
He lifted his head to the vibrant blue sky. The sun was bright today and there were no clouds whatsoever.
Would it be alright to cry out his feelings? ¡®The world should be a safe and just ce. I refuse to bear this responsibility!¡¯
...
Fang Xinxin headed to ss as per normal. However, Headmaster Ma took over their French ss and said that Lecturer Ya Lun was on leave.
His office was also empty.
She had truly over-estimated Ya Lun¡¯s character. He actually pretended to be ill to avoid her?
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. A possibility was slowly forming in her mind.
Based on what she recalled, Hei Xiao was an extremely well-connected and powerful organisation.
It had been so many days. It was more than likely that they already caught Wang Liangping.
She was almost certain that Wang Liangping was currently in Hei Xiao¡¯s hands. What she failed to understand was why they refused to let him go.
It seemed like she needed to rethink her ns.
Fang Xinxin sat before her desk. She had heard that Jiang Xingnan, who sat next to her, hadn¡¯t appeared in school in days.
It was best if he wasn¡¯t going to attend. She could not be bothered to deal with that bastard.
The moment she thought about him, Jiang Xingnan¡¯s slightly thin figure appeared in the ssroom.
#
Chapter 497: Preparing to Attack (Part 1)
Chapter 497: Preparing to Attack (Part 1)
He was dressed in an expensive set of casual wear with a coat ced casually in the crook of his arm. His youthful features appeared especially handsome and charming. It was undeniable that he was a picture perfect image of a wealthy man¡¯s son!
¡°Wow, Brother Nan is so handsome!¡± Several girls immediately appeared lovestruck.
¡°It¡¯s been days since Ist saw Brother Nan. The more I look at him, the more handsome he appears...¡± Wu Jiatong could not help but gasp in admiration. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the most handsome boy in our school is sharing a table with that ugly girl.¡±
She had spoken softly and only the students around her could hear her.
Although Fang Xinxin was not able to hear their whispers, she recognised through their gaze that they were jealous of her for sharing a table with Jiang Xingnan.
Truthfully speaking, she had no interest in sitting next to Jiang Xingnan.
Fang Xinxin moved her table forward and left arge gap for Jiang Xingnan to make his way between her and his seat.
Nheless, Jiang Xingnan pressed closely to the back of her chair as he passed by. He even pressed his hand against her back.
She pped his hand away and red at him in anger. ¡°What are you up to?¡± Was he trying to take advantage of her?
Jiang Xingnan had touched her intentionally.
However, he did not admit to this. ¡°I didn¡¯t stand properly. I was trying to stabilise myself.¡±
¡°Tsk.¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded him with an eyeroll.
After taking his seat, Jiang Xingnan nced at the medicine on her face. Although he could not make out her full appearance, he judged through her sparkling eyes that she seemed to be radiant with joy.
He whispered with some jealousy. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re not even married and you spent seven to eight days at the Yu Ting Vi. Don¡¯t you find your behaviour to be shameless?¡±
¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±
¡°How is this none of my business?¡± Jiang Xingnan clenched his fist tightly in his pocket.
Fang Xinxin knew through her previous lifetime that Jiang Xingnan and Bai Qinghao were distant rtives. ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy with me being at the Yu Ting Vi, go ahead and tell Bai Qinghao yourself.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t suited for you!¡± He warned her with a poor expression.
She found this amusing. ¡°In that case, who is suited for me?¡±
¡°The role of the Bai family¡¯s mistress really isn¡¯t something that you can shoulder.¡± Jiang Xingnan watched her with an expression of arrogance.
He spoke softly so that no one could overhear them. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to leave Bai Qinghao, considering how pitiful you are, this young master doesn¡¯t mind keeping you.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re mentally ill, please go see a doctor.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t read Bai Qinghao¡¯s post about how he has struggled to pursue me?¡±
¡°That post is only about him.¡± Jiang Xingnan narrowed his eyes. ¡°There¡¯s also the Bai family behind him. Once you enter the Bai family, you¡¯ll understand that the role of Madam Bai is extremely difficult to handle. You¡¯ll constantly be targeted by others!¡±
Jiang Xingnan was not wrong about this. However, in her previous life, she had spent ten years running away from her responsibilities. Despite this, Bai Qinghao had stood firmly before her to protect her from every possible harm.
Till the day she died, she had held onto her status firmly without any problems.
If Bai Qinghao hadn¡¯t loved her that dearly, guarding her with his own life, perhaps in this life, she would have chosen to keep distance between the two of them.
However, he had given up his own life for her. In this life, she would not leave him. Instead, she would grow to be a woman who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
¡°This is my business. There¡¯s no need for you to worry about it.¡± Fang Xinxin saw that the lecturer hade in. She did not waste her breath on arguing with Jiang Xingnan any further.
Her phone was set to silent mode. At this moment, she received a new message.
She lowered her head to see that it was from Sun Jiamu:
[Dear, the moment you came, Young Master Jiang appeared. It seems like your good rtionship with Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t enough for him to let go of his feelings.]
Chapter 498: Preparing to Attack (Part 2)
Chapter 498: Preparing to Attack (Part 2)
Fang Xinxin responded: [He should only be attending ss as per normal.]
[Have you been doing well at the Yu Ting Vi? Did you offer your body to Commander Bai?] After sending her message, Sun Jiamu turned back and winked at Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin did not wish to hide this from her.
She responded simply: [I did.]
[Wah... Wah!] Sun Jiamu responded with several exmations.
[How is Commander Bai¡¯s skill in bed?]
Fang Xinxin read her message and fell into an ufortable silence.
Sun Jiamu then responded with an apologetic sticker: [My dear, I don¡¯t mean anything weird. I was just curious. I shouldn¡¯t have asked about this.]
Fang Xinxin responded vaguely: [It¡¯s alright. He... He is just as outstanding in bed as he is in every aspect of life.]
She couldn¡¯t possibly admit that she had nearly died in bed, right?
[My dear, when I find a boyfriend, I¡¯ll definitely tell you about my boyfriend¡¯s ¡®skill¡¯...]
Fang Xinxin responded demandingly: [You¡¯re not allowed to have a boyfriend until you graduate!]
She did not wish to interfere with Sun Jiamu¡¯s private life. However, when she recalled that Sun Jiamu would soon encounter a bastard, she felt that she needed to prevent the same tragedy from happening to her.
Sun Jiamu responded with an astonished sticker. She then added that she would make sure to bring her boyfriend to her for approval.
Fang Xinxin finally gave in.
In the afternoon, Sun Jiamu applied for a half-day leave to handle some matters outside of school.
Fang Xinxin noticed that Fang Manxue¡¯s gaze had lingered on Liu Li, who was standing guard in the hallway, countless times.
Initially, most of the students were somewhat curious about the bodyguard she had brought with her.
However, they were only curious.
Fang Manxue¡¯s gaze, on the other hand, appeared thoughtful.
It was lunch time. Majority of the students were headed for the cafeteria.
The moment Fang Xinxin stepped out of the building, Fang Manxue rushed forward to walk by her side. ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll poison my food.¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s expression was awkward. ¡°Third Sister, what are you joking about? I¡¯m nning to treat you to a meal in a nearby restaurant. How about you pick the restaurant? This way, there won¡¯t be any problem.¡±
¡°Do you fucking understand humannguage?¡± Fang Xinxin was slightly impatient with her. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in being treated by you.¡±
¡°We¡¯re sisters. Is there a need to hold onto grudges like this?¡± Fang Manxue refused to give up.
She shot Liu Li a ¡®casual¡¯ nce. ¡°Bodyguard Liu, you¡¯ve been busy all afternoon. Why don¡¯t you go have a meal? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be by my sister¡¯s side. She won¡¯t face any troubles with me.¡±
She sounded as if she really had kind intentions.
Fang Xinxin suddenly understood that her second sister was intentionally trying to make Liu Li leave.
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Liu Li was expressionless. ¡°Someone will arrive to take over my shift in an hour.¡±
When Fang Manxue heard this, she felt especially frustrated.
With this bodyguard watching her, how was she supposed to ¡®tamper¡¯ with Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine!
¡°Alright then,¡± her voice was soft and her expression was thoughtful.
Fang Xinxin stopped outside the female dormitory and instructed Liu Li. ¡°Wait for me downstairs. Men aren¡¯t allowed into the female dormitory.¡±
¡°But...¡± Liu Li hesitated.
¡°It¡¯s ok. If you follow me in, others might treat you as a pervert. I¡¯ll shout for you if something really happens,¡± saying so, Fang Xinxin headed up the stairs.
One moment earlier, Fang Manxue had been extremely upset with Liu Li¡¯s clinginess. To think that Fang Xinxin, the fool, would create such a good opportunity for her.
#
Chapter 499: Preparing to Attack (Part 3)
Chapter 499: Preparing to Attack (Part 3)
Liu Li could only wait for her downstairs.
Fang Xinxin entered room 201. She ced her belongings on her bed and ordered two sets of takeaway to be delivered to her room.
Fang Manxue followed her in. Her gaze lingered on Fang Xinxin¡¯s bag for a moment before she smiled. ¡°You ordered two portions of takeaway. Is one meant for me?¡±
¡°No. The other portion is for Liu Li.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s beautiful features fully conveyed her displeasure. ¡°Third Sister, no matter what, I am still your elder sister. How could you order food for an insignificant bodyguard but not for me?¡±
¡°To me, he is much more important than you.¡± Fang Xinxin was expressionless.
¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m so moved. I didn¡¯t expect you to value me over your sister.¡± Liu Li¡¯s voice could be heard from outside the balcony. Fang Xinxin opened the window and poked her head out to see that he had climbed up a tree. He stood on one of the thicker branches and was positioned right outside her dormitory room. His gaze was fixed in their direction seriously.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°What are you up to?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t see what¡¯s happening to you downstairs, but I can do so if I climb up the tree.¡± Liu Li grinned cheekily. ¡°Boss hasmanded me to remain by your side and to protect you. This subordinate cannot go against his orders.¡±
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger. This bodyguard was so darn clingy. How was she supposed to carry out her ns!
Fang Xinxin did not mind his actions. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you wish to climb up the tree, but the problem is that, at that height, you can not only look into my dorm room but into several neighbouring ones. If it happens that someone is changing their clothes, and they mistake you for a pervert...¡±
Before she could finish, a sharp cry could be heard from the next-next-door dorm room. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s a pervert!¡±
Following which, several raw eggs were thrown in Liu Li¡¯s direction. Liu Li did not have enough time to avoid them and the eggsnded right on target.
Fang Xinxin rubbed her aching forehead.
Most girls kept small portable electric pots in their dorm rooms. This way, it was convenient for them to prepare a simple meal of noodles and eggs when they needed. It wasn¡¯t surprising that Liu Li was attacked with eggs.
Fang Manxue sniggered. It seemed like even the heavens were on her side.
Several female students charged downstairs angrily to confront Liu Li. One of them held their waist and said, ¡°The pervert on the tree that dared to peek at me when I was changing clothes,e down right now!¡±
Liu Li was covered in egg yolk and broken shells. He helplessly jumped off the tree to apologise., ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to. I was only trying to protect Fang Xinxin...¡±
¡°Who are you?¡± The student questioned.
¡°I¡¯m thest-minute bodyguard that CEO Bai Qinghao arranged for Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°It turns out that you¡¯re CEO Bai¡¯s subordinate. You are quite handsome.¡± The female student waved her hand. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll forgive you for peeking at me.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t peek...¡± He was really only looking at Fang Xinxin.
¡°You¡¯re still trying to argue your way out of this!¡±
¡°Alright, I apologise.¡± Liu Li lowered his head.
¡°Handsome, why don¡¯t you add me on WeChat?¡± The female student took in his somewhat handsome features and shot him a flirtatious look.
Liu Li was a young man. Considering that a beautiful university student was taking the initiative to hit on him, he naturally would not reject her. Coincidentally, he wascking a girlfriend.
The two of them then exchanged contact details.
Fang Xinxin tapped on her phone¡¯s camera application and began recording. She then quietly hid her phone into therge bouquet of roses that Bai Qinghao had gifted her a while ago. Although most of the flowers had dried up, it still kept her phone perfectly hidden.
She stepped onto the balcony and shouted at Liu Li. ¡°Don¡¯t climb the tree again. Your clothes are covered in raw eggs. Go and change into a new set of clothes.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll wait for the next bodyguard to rece my shift first,¡± Liu Li responded.
Fang Manxue saw that Fang Xinxin was facing away from her. She immediately took this opportunity and reached for Fang Xinxin¡¯s bag.

Chapter 500: Right Now
Chapter 500: Right Now
Fang Manxue brought out the bottle of medicine quickly and opened the tub. She then poured a packet of powder in and shook the tub gently. She watched as the powder quickly dissolved before she covered the tub once more.
When Fang Xinxin turned back, Fang Manxue had already returned the tub to its original position. She ¡®casually¡¯ asked. ¡°Third Sister, how much longer do you have to use that medicine on your skin?¡±
¡°How is that rted to you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just concerned about you,¡± Fang Manxue made up an excuse.
Today was thest day that Fang Xinxin needed to use her medicine. She nced at her bag and noticed that it had been shifted slightly.
There was no one else in the room. This bitch had touched her bag!
She recalled the way Fang Manxue used to tamper with her food and make-up. They were the reason for her excessive weight gain and disfigurement.
As a result, she grew to be both fat and ugly.
It was clear that her second sister was attempting the same scheme.
Fang Xinxin was enraged. However, she pretended not to have noticed anything and lied. ¡°I have to use it for another month. The doctor says that after a month, my skin will make a full recovery.¡±
Fang Manxue thought internally. ¡®Heh! It wouldn¡¯t take a month.¡¯
This time, she wasn¡¯t simply using drugs that would cause the whore¡¯s skin to be covered in e.
As long as Fang Xinxin used the tampered medicine thrice, she would be permanently disfigured! The amount of medicine left in the tub was sufficient for her to re-apply up to five times.
¡°It seems like the scabs on your face have already fallen. This medicine is very effective.¡± Manxue pretended to be interested.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin responded with a naive tone. ¡°The scabs have fallen but there are still scars on my skin. Doctor Shi was the one who prescribed this medicine for me. He is a famous doctor in our country. If it wasn¡¯t because of Bai Qinghao, he would never have given me such a precious medicine.¡±
¡°I look forward to the day you turn beautiful.¡± Fang Manxue patted Fang Xinxin on the shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m going to the cafeteria for a meal now.¡± She then left room 201 with a wave of her hand. As her mood was exceptionally good, her footsteps felt extra light.
Fang Xinxin waited till she left before she approached therge bouquet of dried flowers which was on her desk. She retrieved her phone and searched for the footage she had recorded.
She watched as Fang Manxue searched through her bag and added a ¡®powder¡¯ into her medicine.
She immediately made a call to Chi Minzhe and instructed him to make a trip here. She then gave him a sample of the medicine to be tested at a professionalb.
Three hourster, Chi Minzhe called her back. ¡°Miss Fang, your second sister sure is vicious! The powder she added to your medicine isn¡¯t anything simple. It¡¯s a banned drug that can only be obtained through the ck market. It won¡¯t change the colour of your medicine or emit any strange scent. It¡¯s colourless and odourless. Furthermore, you won¡¯t feel any pain when you use it. Initially, you¡¯ll only find your skin gradually turning numb. Appearance-wise also, it won¡¯t cause any changes. However, if you use it thrice, your skin will stiffen and eventually turn into ayer of rotten skin. It¡¯ll look even more frightening than the surface of the moon. By then, your nerves would be dead and there¡¯ll be no way to treat it. Put it simply, as long as you use this drug, you¡¯ll be disfigured for life!¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± Fang Xinxin cursed loudly in anger. Fang Manxue waspletely on a different level of evilness.
¡°Why would you fuck me?¡± Chi Minzhe responded fearfully. ¡°I only ept payments in cash and not via the body.¡±
¡°Scram. I am not in the mood to joke with you.¡± Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. ¡°Will you be able to obtain this medicine?¡±
Since her second sister enjoyed messing with her face so much, how could she possibly not return the favour?
Chi Minzhe responded. ¡°If someone like your second sister was able to obtain it, of course it¡¯ll be an easy feat for me. I¡¯ll ask someone I know. It¡¯ll take three to five days.¡±
#
Chapter 501: Live-streaming To Declare Her Love
Chapter 501: Live-streaming To Dere Her Love
¡°I want it right now.¡±
¡°That will cost you three times the normal price.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Fang Xinxin ended the call decisively.
A whileter, Chi Minzhe delivered a packet of fine powder to her.
At 4.00 p.m. in the afternoon, Fang Xinxin noticed that Fang Manxue was alone in room 202. She activated her ability and stepped through the wall into the neighbouring dorm room.
Fang Manxue was hiding in the bathroom to speak to a man on the phone. ¡°Aiya, why are you in such a rush? I¡¯lle visit you in a few days.¡±
¡°Baby, I can¡¯t wait anymore...¡± The man¡¯s voice was filled with urgency.
¡°I¡¯m not like all those women you meet outside. I¡¯m still an innocent virgin...¡± Fang Manxue whined.
¡°I know that you¡¯re an innocent youngdy. That¡¯s why I like you so much. If you need money, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
¡°Silly, am I the kind of girl who would demand money? But the fact that you¡¯re willing to give me money means that you care about me...¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s voice was especially high-pitched and sweet.
Fang Xinxin was filled with disgust at the sound of it.
It turned out that Fang Manxue was actually someone like this. God knew how many men she had slept with, thus far. To think she was still pretending to be a virgin.
As expected, there was a reason why Bai Chenxi insisted she was ¡®loose¡¯ after sleeping with her once.
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to expose her lie. Her gaze shifted onto Fang Manxue¡¯s purse.
She reached into it and retrieved a bottle of liquid foundation. She poured the powder Chi Minzhe had given her into the bottle and shook it lightly. The powder quickly dissolved without leaving any traces behind.
This liquid foundation was very expensive. Normally, Fang Manxue could not bear to use it very often.
It was also unlikely for her to share such a personal item like her cosmetics with others.
Fang Xinxin was not afraid of ¡®taking revenge¡¯ on the wrong person.
She ced the liquid foundation back to its original position and activated her ability to make herself appear invisible. After that, she stood by the side to watch the show.
After finishing her call, Fang Manxue stepped out of the bathroom. She did not notice anything to be amiss. As she had a dateter, she reached into her bag and applied ayer of the ¡®tampered¡¯ liquid foundation onto her face. She then carefully put on the rest of her make-up.
She felt as if she was being watched. However, she did not find anyone when she nced around the room.
Fang Xinxin watched her coldly by the side. Her lips twitched upwards mockingly.
Someone was about to face the consequences of her actions.
Fang Manxue picked up her bag and left the dormitory room with a beautifully made-up face. At the thought that Fang Xinxin would soon be disfigured, her footsteps felt especially light.
Fang Xinxin watched as her second sister left happily. She activated her powers once more and used it to return to her dorm room.
She contacted Bai Qinghao and confirmed that he would not be returning to the Yu Ting Vi tonight. Hence, she decided to stay over at school today.
At 9:00 in the night, Wu Jiatong returned to their dorm room waving her phone in her hand. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re staying in the dorm today? Quickly take a look at your second sister. She started a live-stream and is dering her love to Bai Qinghao. Look at the username she used: Feelings for Bai Qinghao.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at Wu Jiatong¡¯s phone screen and copied the website address to reach the live-streaming website. She searched for ¡®Feelings for Bai Qinghao¡¯ and quickly found Fang Manxue conducting a live-stream on the website.
In the video, Fang Manxue was alone in her room in the Fang family¡¯s vi. Fang Xinxin guessed that her date must have ended already.
¡°Dear handsome men and beautifuldies, my reputation has been especially poor recently. I¡¯m sure that everyone here knows me well.¡± On the screen, Fang Manxue had a self-mocking smile. ¡°Indeed, I am Fang Manxue, from Jing Hua University¡¯s Year 2, ss 3.¡±

Chapter 502: The Position That Originally Belonged To Fang Manxue
Chapter 502: The Position That Originally Belonged To Fang Manxue
[It turns out that you¡¯re the whore who pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Where did you find the face to still open a live-stream? Scram!]
[Smelly whore, you actually used ¡®Feelings for Bai Qinghao¡¯ as your ID. Do you have the right? You trash!]
[You¡¯re a third party who even dared to steal her sister¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Your skin is really thicker than the wall...]
Two to three hundred people thoroughly criticised Fang Manxue in the live-stream¡¯s chat room.
Fang Manxue¡¯s expression did not falter. Under the beautifying filter, her appearance appeared even more stunning than it usually did. Her figure was especially slender and her chest was curvaceous. ¡°I knew that everyone would scold me. But there are reasons behind why I pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Please listen to me.¡±
Immediately, another wave of criticism came in.
[What fart of an excuse could you have for pretending to be our nation¡¯s idol¡¯s fianc¨¦e? Are you still trying to argue your way out of this, you whore?]
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes seemed to be especially big because of the beautifying filter. Her eyes turned misty as she began. ¡°All this while, I felt very apologetic about pretending to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I really understand that I made a mistake. I hope that everyone will forgive me. In fact, I would never have made such a mistake. It¡¯s because... I have to begin this story from when I was young.¡±
She smiled miserably. ¡°In the Fang family, my dad is especially biased. Since I was young, I¡¯ve always been more beautiful and more outstanding than Fang Xinxin. Despite so, he always only liked Fang Xinxin. Everyone knows of how Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin¡¯s engagement came to be. My father saved Bai Qinghao¡¯s grandmother, Qin Hefang in the past. This was the reason why Grandmother Bai agreed to this marriage. It is a great honor to have a marriage alliance with the Bai family. We are both the Fang family¡¯s daughters, yet my father did not hesitate to the engagement happen between my third sister and Bai Qinghao. I¡¯m older than Fang Xinxin by a year. Logically speaking, this marriage matter should have belonged to me.¡±
Fang Manxue slowly teared up. ¡°The glory that was supposed to belong to me was lost just like that. I was disappointed and upset. But despite my grievance, I still silently offered my blessings to my third sister. Yet, my good third sister was not satisfied with a wonderful fianc¨¦e like Bai Qinghao. She even seduced Bai Qinghao¡¯s cousin, Bai Chenxi, of all people!¡±
Inside the dorm room, Fang Xinxin held her phone to listen to Fang Manxue¡¯s words. She felt herself growing enraged.
At the same time, she also felt very helpless.
Back when her father was still healthy, it was true that he loved her more. However, he never treated Fang Manxue poorly nor did he appear to be biased to either one of them.
But when the marriage alliance ured, her father did directly inform her that she was to be engaged to Bai Qinghao.
In her previous life, Fang Manxue had brought this matter up countless times.
As a result, she also could not help but wonder if her father had chosen Fang Manxue instead of her, would Bai Qinghao treat Fang Manxue this well right now?
Wu Jiatong shot a look of disdain at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t tell me that your second sister is speaking the truth?¡±
Fang Xinxin was on poor terms with her. She could not be bothered to exin the matter to her.
On the phone, following Fang Manxue¡¯s big reveal, the chatroom was flooded with responses.
As the reveal involved serious gossip between Bai Chenxi and Fang Manxue, the chatroom slowly became crowded. It increased from three hundred participants to a thousand, and it was still increasing...
The voices that had been criticising Fang Manxue also gradually ceased.
[Fang Manxue, quickly tell us how Fang Xinxin seduced Bai Chenxi!]
Messages like this flooded the chatroom.
¡°Make a donation. If no one makes any donation, I won¡¯t continue.¡± Fang Manxue insisted deliberately
The first lollipop was then donated into the chatroom.
#
Chapter 503: Worth The Money
Chapter 503: Worth The Money
A lollipop was only worth four cents.
Fang Manxue responded with some grievance. ¡°Are you using four cents to chase away a beggar? I¡¯ll only ept one thousand times the amount.¡±
[Are you trying to scam people here?] Someone shouted in the chatroom.
¡°I own a Ferrari. It¡¯s worth more than six hundred thousand dors. A thousand times of a lollipop is only worth forty dors. Even my petrol expenditure goes up to hundreds. If you¡¯re unwilling to give it, I won¡¯t say anything.¡± The moment she said so, someone really donated forty dors to her live-stream.
¡°Thank you for the great gift of forty dors, dear. Please ept my bow.¡± Fang Manxue really stood up and bowed in front of the camera.
[Quit wasting your breath. Quickly exin exactly how Fang Xinxin seduced Bai Chenxi.] Comments like this flooded into the chatroom.
¡°One of our lovely guests was generous enough to donate forty dors. Can¡¯t the rest of you be more generous?¡± Fang Manxue did not have much money these days. Hence, every dor was valuable. ¡°There are thousands of people in the chatroom right now. Are all of you poor?¡±
With such criticism, a lot of men really began searching through their pockets. A few cents, a dor, five dors, ten dors...
The donations gradually began to increase.
Fang Manxue watched as the donation exceeded two hundred dors. She pursed her lips happily and winked at the camera before blowing the audience a kiss. ¡°Thank you to all the sisters and brothers who donated. Regardless of whether or not you did it happily, I¡¯m very happy.¡±
[Hey, I say, Fang Manxue, do you n to talk or not? Stop going off on a tangent!] The chatroom was growing impatient.
Fang Manxue understood these people well. The more she dyed this, the more money she would receive.
Thus, she intentionally dangled the bait in front of them and used all sorts of topics to dy her big reveal.
Finally, as the donations shot up to a thousand dors and there were more than ten thousand people as audience in the live-stream, she started speaking on the topic. ¡°I realise that a lot of people don¡¯t know who Bai Chenxi is. Hence, let¡¯s talk about his background first. Bai Chenxi is from the Bai family. He is Bai Qinghao¡¯s uncle¡¯s adopted son. Even Bai Qinghao has to address him as ¡®cousin¡¯...¡±
[Cousin my ass. The great Bai Qinghao has never admitted to this. Don¡¯t try to twist matters!]
There were many conflicting responses in the chatroom.
Fang Manxue chose to pretend as if she could not see anything. ¡°Bai Chenxi is a capable man. He is attractive, refined and handsome. If it wasn¡¯t because my heart had moved years ago for Bai Qinghao, perhaps, I would also have taken a liking to Bai Chenxi.¡±
Although she spoke this way, in truth, she disdained Bai Chenxi.
She would never take a liking to Bai Chenxi. From the moment he was adopted into the Bai family, it was certain that he wouldn¡¯t have the rights to session. Bai Chenxi¡¯s wife would not even be addressed as Madam Bai. Once his adopted father passed away, his position in the Bai family would fade even further.
Although the Bai family gave Bai Chenxi a lot of money to start his ownpany, ignoring the fact that thepany had ess to the Bai family¡¯s connections, Bai Chenxi was nothing but the owner of a medium enterprise.
In order to convince everyone that Fang Xinxin was a third party, she could only exaggerate Bai Chenxi¡¯s image.
All of a sudden, a bright rainbow shed past the live-stream screen. It was apanied with joyful music. Someone had donated an ¡®aircraft carrier¡¯ to Fang Manxue. It was worth two thousand dors!
Fang Xinxin stood up in agitation. She read the ount name out and bowed at the camera. Following which, endless kisses were blown and a flood of praises escaped her lips.
[Fuck, someone actually gifted this pretentious whore two thousand dors. I wonder if he has gone insane...]
[Is there a need to do this in Fang Manxue¡¯s live-stream? Does he want to sleep with her?]
[Two thousand dors is enough for him to sleep with ten prostitutes. Is Fang Manxue worth this money?]

Chapter 504: Evidence
Chapter 504: Evidence
The mockingments flooded the chatroom. But Fang Manxue had grown used to their criticism and paid no attention to it. Money was far more important to her.
There were more than ten thousand people in the room and her poprity was extremely high at the moment.
She knew very well that these people came for the ¡®gossip¡¯ between Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi. They also wanted to watch how she nned to confess to Bai Qinghao.
However, she did not expect someone to donate two thousand dors to her.
It seemed like she was still extremely attractive. It was too early to give up.
Ding! She received a new message.
Fang Manxue tapped on her phone to see that it came from Bai Chenxi: [We fought that day at the hotel and I left in a rush. Considering how you¡¯ve been praising me, the two thousand dors can be considered payment for having you sleep with me.]
After reading the message, her lips nearly twisted in anger.
It turned out that the money came from the bastard, Bai Chenxi!
Paying her for sleeping with him... he was really treating her like a prostitute!
She rushed to respond: [Bai Chenxi, you better don¡¯t create trouble for me. What do you mean by paying me to sleep with you? We didn¡¯t sleep together!]
Bai Chenxi did not tear her stage down and wrote back: [Sure, sure, sure. Please go on.]
After all, his target was Fang Xinxin. Fang Manxue was sending Fang Xinxin into a ditch. Even if his cousin wanted to hold someone responsible, it would never be him. Why would he interfere with such a happy matter?
He immediately sent Fang Xinxin a message: [Xinxin, your second sister is conducting a live-stream. She says she has something rted to you to share. She even wants to confess to your fianc¨¦. The live-stream website is...]
Fang Xinxin nced at the message from Bai Chenxi and sneered coldly.
She redirected her attention back to the live-stream. Fang Manxue was currently on the receiving end of the audience¡¯s anger. However, unlike in the beginning, donations were flooding in endlessly.
Fang Manxueposed herself and continued. ¡°Dear handsome boy and beautiful girls, please don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll continue now. Bai Chenxi is so ¡®outstanding¡¯ that my third sister has harboured a crush on him since young. She ispletely head over heels in love with him...¡±
[At the end of the day, all you have are words? Do you have any proper evidence?]
If she did, they could directly contact Bai Qinghao through his ount on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum.
[That¡¯s right. Fang Xinxin previously responded to the hottest forum post on Jing Hua University saying that she¡¯s been chasing after Bai Qinghao. The person she has been harbouring a crush on is Bai Qinghao! Aren¡¯t you afraid that you¡¯ll be struck by lightning with the way you are twisting facts?]
The audience were not fools. Questions immediately flooded the chatroom.
Fang Manxue hated the fact that Bai Qinghao had tossed the video of Fang Xinxin confessing to Bai Chenxi into the fish tank. Although Bai Qinghao may have believed that Fang Xinxin was forced into confessing, the audience definitely wouldn¡¯t do the same. That was the best evidence she could have used.
Right now...
She could only highlight two old photos. She held her phone screen up to the camera for everyone to see. ¡°Everyone, please take a look at these photos...¡±
The first was when Bai Chenxi was at the park. The photo was taken the instant Fang Xinxin secretly peeked at him.
The other was taken when Bai Chenxi stepped out of his family¡¯s front yard. Fang Xinxin stood behind a corner to gaze at him.
Based on the photos, Fang Xinxin appeared to be around fourteen to fifteen years old. ¡°My third sister is neen now. This was taken five to six years ago. Look at the way she¡¯s watching Bai Chenxi with love in her eyes. One may be a coincidence, but the same cannot be said if it happens twice, right? Please look at the background of the photo. The first was taken at a park, and the second was at Bai Chenxi¡¯s home. The two locations are different. My third sister was the one who ran around to stalk him. If it isn¡¯t because she has a crush on him, why would she do this? I won¡¯t make up lies about my third sister. You asked for evidence, here it is!¡±

Chapter 505: The Position that Xinxin Snatched? (Part 1)
Fang Xinxin had joined the live-stream anonymously and watched as Fang Manxue presented her so-called ¡®evidence¡¯.
She waited for a bit to see if there was any other evidence.
After all, it was true that she had feelings for Bai Chenxi before she was reborn. Fang Manxue¡¯s instigations were partially the reason for those feelings.
Furthermore, Fang Manxue was a vicious whore. She often took videos and photos of her from afar.
Fang Xinxin truly could not be certain if she had any more ¡®evidence¡¯.
The photos Fang Manxue presented were immediately screen captured by countlessizens. Everyone ran to Jing Hua University¡¯s forum and wrote to Bai Qinghao with those photos.
Everyone started asking immediately for more.
[Do you have any more evidence?]
Fang Manxue was fearful of Bai Qinghao. She did not dare to say more about matters that she did not have evidence for. After all, it was true that this was all she had. ¡°No.¡±
Someone quickly responded in the chatroom: [You only have two photos and you¡¯re criticising your third sister for being unfaithful. Don¡¯t you think your evidence is too weak? Furthermore, this was taken so many years ago. Perhaps she was just young and immature, and fell for the wrong person.]
Fang Manxue said, ¡°My third sister did fall for the wrong person. It¡¯s precisely because these photos were taken five to six years ago that I can say that she¡¯s had a crush on Bai Chenxi since she was young.]
Questions flooded the chatroom once more.
[But in Jing Hua University¡¯s forum, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao appear to be very loving.]
Fang Manxue sighed. ¡°That indicates that my third sister has grown up. Perhaps in the past, she didn¡¯t understand the importance of money, power and status. Back when she had a crush on Bai Chenxi, she was purely following her heart. But right now...¡±
[You mean to say that your third sister has fallen for Bai Qinghao¡¯s power, status and money?] Questions like this came from most of the audience.
Fang Manxue nodded. ¡°Indeed. Otherwise, I can¡¯t exin why she had such a big change of heart.¡±
She frowned in concern and said, ¡°Money and power can be blinding. Just because of this, my third sister tossed aside the boy she has loved since she was young. If she meets someone more outstanding in the future, I wonder if she will have another change of heart? Although there isn¡¯t anyone more capable than Bai Qinghao, my third sister¡¯s change of heart always makes me worry. I also worry for our nation¡¯s idol.¡±
These words were recorded and directly posted onto the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Everyone tagged Bai Qinghao on their posts once more.
Theizens continued flooding the chatroom.
Fang Manxue responded to them and gradually began to tear up. ¡°When I decided to start a two hour live-stream, I really didn¡¯t expect to receive so much support and donations. Yes, I¡¯ve made a mistake. I shouldn¡¯t have pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. But I¡¯ve shared my reasons with everyone. I couldn¡¯t ept my sister¡¯s unfaithful thoughts. Furthermore, there is an order to seniority in the family. Back then, if it wasn¡¯t because my father was biased, I would have been the one engaged to Bai Qinghao. She snatched what was supposed to belong to me. All I did was love Bai Qinghao since I was young. I¡¯ve never told anyone how hurt I was when my fianc¨¦ was taken away from me. This pain will apany me till the day I die!¡±
Her tearful response was also recorded and reposted by the audience.
Fang Manxue actually managed to collect a lot of sympathy. Some of the audience even began criticising Fang Xinxin for being a third party.
Inside room 201, Fang Xinxin watched Fang Manxue¡¯s live-stream until it ended.
Wu Jiatong, who shared a dorm room with her, had been unhappy with her for a long time.
She immediately started criticizing her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it turns out that you snatched this engagement through your biased father!¡±

Chapter 506: The Position that Xinxin Snatched? (Part 2)
¡°For the sake of power and status, you actually shifted your affection towards Bai Qinghao! I never expected you to be like this. I hope that he¡¯ll quickly recognise you for the cheap woman that you are!¡±
Wu Jiatong criticised Fang Xinxin with an insincere sense of justice.
The two of them had engaged in various conflicts previously. Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to respond to her.
However, simr criticisms flooded the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Whenever someone tagged Bai Qinghao, they also tagged Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxinid on her bed to see that the criticisms were not ceasing whatsoever. Late at night, all her schoolmates remained awake to watch the ¡®show¡¯.
She felt a little troubled. It was more than easy to deal with Fang Manxue¡¯s scheme of using those two photos to im that she had feelings for Bai Chenxi.
But back then, her father had truly indicated for her to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
If at that time, Bai Qinghao was truly engaged to Fang Manxue, would she be the person he loved now?
This question left her frustrated and depressed. However, her body was thoroughly exhausted from Bai Qinghao¡¯s seven days of pensation¡¯. Although she had slept wellst night, after an entire day, she felt very tired.
The ache between her legs remained throbbing as well.
She was exhausted and quickly fell asleep.
...
Bai Chenxi waited till Fang Manxue¡¯s live-stream ended and right after, sent her a message.
[My dear, you sure are capable. You say, will my cousin suddenly decide to right the mistake and make you the Bai family¡¯s future Madam? Should I address you as my cousin-inw from now onwards?]
Fang Manxue was resting in the Fang family¡¯s bedroom. She responded to Bai Chenxi angrily: [Who is your ¡®dear¡¯! But thest two sentences shouldn¡¯t be a question. It¡¯s a certainty. I enjoyed reading those words very much.]
[I wish you sess then, my dear.]
Bai Chenxi apanied his message with an inappropriate sticker.
Fang Manxue could not be bothered to deal with him.
She thought about it and wrote a message to Wu Jiatong: [Jiatong, what is Fang Xinxin up to right now? I asked you to make her watch the live-stream. Did she cry in anger?]
Wu Jiatong responded immediately: [Your third sister is snoring in bed. She wasn¡¯t affected by your live-stream at all.]
[Hmph, I refuse to believe that everyone won¡¯t kill her with their criticisms for stealing my husband from me!]
...
The next morning, at 8 in the morning, Bai Qinghao returned to the Yu Ting Vi after working all night with the military. The moment he stepped into the vi, he asked heavily. ¡°Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Miss Fang slept at schoolst night.¡± Butler Zhao responded respectfully.
Bai Qinghao felt slightly regretful that he wasn¡¯t able to see her the moment he returned.
It¡¯s been an entire night and day since hest met her. He really missed her too much!
¡°Young Master...¡± Butler Zhao struggled to begin.
¡°Why are you stuttering so much?¡± He asked coldly.
Zhao Cheng rushed to take his phone out and opened the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum for him to see. ¡°Last night, Fang Manxue started a live-stream. The contents were reposted on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum and a lot of people tagged you. I know that you dislike Miss Fang Manxue, but much of what she said is rted to Miss Fang Xinxin. Would you like to take a look?¡±
Bai Qinghao would not waste any time on live-streams. However, since the butler said it was rted to Fang Xinxin, he took the phone and read through the posts that had tagged him.
Fang Manxue actually criticised Fang Xinxin for stealing her position as Madam Bai?
A group ofizens were even asking if he intended to correct this mistake, and return the position of Madam Bai to Fang Manxue?
#
Chapter 507: Hao’s Feelings (Part 1)
Chapter 507: Hao¡¯s Feelings (Part 1)
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark with a small, mocking smile.
The second photo which Fang Manxue had shared however, caused his gaze to turn cold with rage. ¡°Does Fang Xinxin know about the trouble Fang Manxue has caused? Has she responded to it?¡±
The butler responded. ¡°This subordinate does not know if Miss Fang is aware of the matter. As of now, she has not made any response to it.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble her over such a small matter. I¡¯ll handle it for her!¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. ¡°Previously, I instructed you to clean up room 639 at the hotel. Did you find Fang Xinxin¡¯sptop?¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
¡°Herptop contains surveince footage of Bai Chenxi and Fang Manxue sleeping together in room 619. Release it to all the major media outlets. Let everyone decide if they still feel the need to pursue this so-called ¡®justice¡¯.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± The butler immediately left to carry out his orders.
Bai Qinghao headed up the stairs and went into the study room on the second floor. He logged into the ount that he had previously registered on Jing Hua University¡¯s forum and wrote a long paragraph...
[Oh my god, our country¡¯s idol actually wrote a reply! He must be responding to the calls for his attention.]
[Fang Manxue, that bitch, she actually has the face to im that Fang Xinxin stole her position as Madam Bai. I didn¡¯t expect the truth to be like this...]
[Everyone look! An explosive news story has just been released. A footage of Fang Manxue sleeping with Bai Chenxi has been leaked!]
...
A wave of explosions ran through the forum. Inside the dormitory, Fang Xinxin stretched her bodyzily. She had just woken up.
She brought her phone out to see that Fang Manxue had sent her a messagest night:
[Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t pretend to be dead. I know that you watched my live-stream. Return the position of CEO Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e to me! Don¡¯t cling to it so desperately. Let me tell you, Bai Qinghao¡¯s grandmother is no longer around. If it wasn¡¯t because he is very filial to his grandmother, and has no way of opposing herst will, would he want someone as ugly as you? I¡¯m not afraid of demanding back what ought to belong to me publicly. I¡¯ve started a post on Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Through that I¡¯m going to let everyone see how exactly you¡¯ve stolen my position from me!]
Fang Xinxin checked the time. It was 8:00 a.m. in the morning.
If Fang Manxue wrote her post at midnight, she suspected that everyone had to be especially fired up right now over how she had only managed to be Madam Bai because of the Bai family¡¯ste elderly¡¯s final will.
Fang Xinxin was toozy to go on the forum page and check themotion. At the same time, she was also a little worried. In her previous life, Bai Qinghao¡¯s feelings for her did not waver in the slightest over the ten years they spent together. Was this really rted to the will his grandmother had left behind?
She washed up with a heavy expression before leaving the dormitory. She nned to return to the Yu Ting Vi to release footage of Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi sleeping together.
Afterwards, she would make use of the footage to prove that she did not have feelings for Bai Chenxi...
However, the ims that her father¡¯s unfair treatment and Grandmother Bai¡¯s final will actually led to her eventual engagement with Bai Qinghao was nearly impossible to refute...
She had been wary that her school mates would interrogate her over this matter.
To her surprise, as she made her way through school, no one used her of being a third party. None of them shot her any strange looks either.
Even when she met Wu Jiatong in the school cafeteria, the girl did not say a single word to her.
Something must have happened on the forum!
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and checked the Jing Hua University¡¯s post titled ¡®@Bai Qinghao¡¯.
She btedly realised that Bai Qinghao had written a response to it.
His words left her deeply moved yet again:
[When I was young, I encountered a fairy under the moonlight.]
#
Chapter 508: Hao’s Feelings (Part 2)
Chapter 508: Hao¡¯s Feelings (Part 2)
[She was as exquisite as a porcin doll, and had the most vivid and dazzling gaze. When she appeared, even the stunning moon faded into the background.
This was Fang Xinxin when she was young.
And that was the very first time I met her.
The Bai and Fang family were originally unrted. That year, Father Fang rescued my grandmother. Post that I visited Father Fang with her.
I¡¯m very grateful for that opportunity because it allowed me to encounter Fang Xinxin. Till this day, the memories of that time when I met her, remain deeply engraved in my mind.
With that one look, I knew that the person I wanted to share the rest of my life with was Fang Xinxin. Thus, the moment we returned home, I clearly told my grandmother that I wanted Fang Xinxin. I wanted her to only belong to me for the rest of her life!
Although I was young at the time, I had never requested anything from my family before that. This was the only thing I ever asked of them.
My grandmother stood against everyone¡¯s refusal and agreed to my request. Since then, Fang Xinxin became my fianc¨¦e.
Does everyone really believe that my grandmother would carelessly send me to the Fang family to choose whichever daughter just to repay the debt of saving her life? Fang Manxue sure has some amusing, wishful thinking.
Additionally, though Long Yifan had done a favour to the Bai family, the Bai could have repaid this debt in countless ways. If it wasn¡¯t because of my request, why would the Bai family go against their social status to have a marriage alliance with a family that was considerably lower than them?
Of course, matters ofpatibility in terms of power and wealth are but a materialistic way of perceiving the world. In my heart, the only woman who ispatible with me is Fang Xinxin.
Fang Manxue has delusional thoughts about possessing wealth and status, and of bing my fianc¨¦e. She even wronged Fang Xinxin for having impure thoughts and for wanting my power.
I¡¯ve seen your calls for ¡®justice¡¯. Please do not trust everything she says. I believe that my fianc¨¦e doesn¡¯t have any other men in her heart. The only person she loves is me. Please do not be blinded by Fang Manxue.
¨C Bai Qinghao]
After reading Bai Qinghao¡¯s response, Fang Xinxin felt her tears welling up in her eyes.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t because Dad was biased, and he made you Madam Bai, would you be this sessful right now? Return the position of Madam Bai to me!¡± She could recall the demands Fang Manxue had made in her past life.
¡°Xinxin ah, you¡¯re able to be Madam Bai right now because your second sister generously gave up her position to you. You have to treat her well and contribute to the Fang family. Find an opportunity to let your second sister be with Bai Qinghao. It¡¯s time you backed off from the rtionship. Bai Qinghao is only marrying you in order to fulfil his grandmother¡¯s final will. What¡¯s the point of a forced wedding like this?¡± Fang Ln¡¯s nagging also seemed to rey in her mind.
Back then, she had no way of refuting their words.
The problem that had troubled her for two lifetimes was finally resolved after reading Bai Qinghao¡¯s response.
It turned out that this marriage was not Grandmother Bai¡¯s final wish at all.
Her father had not been biased when he set up the engagement between her and Bai Qinghao. Instead, Bai Qinghao himself had requested for this marriage!
Due to this misunderstanding, she always believed that she had snatched her second sister¡¯s marriage. This was also why she always gave in to her all the time in her previous life.
She regretted the way she constantly avoided and resented Bai Qinghao back then. If she hadn¡¯t done so, she could have learned about his true feelings much earlier.
Fang Xinxin suddenly felt thankful to her second sister for starting that live-stream. Without her interference, she would never have learned about the true reasons behind her marriage matters.
She then searched for the post Fang Manxue had madest night about demanding back what she was owed.
In the past eight hours, a significant number of their schoolmates had expressed their support for Fang Manxue to be Madam Bai. Some of them sympathised with Fang Manxue and felt that it was understandable that she previously pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. They all felt that Fang Xinxin was only lucky to have made it to her current position.
None of them expected that Bai Qinghao himself had chosen her years ago.

Chapter 509: How To Marry Hao?
Chapter 509: How To Marry Hao?
Eight hourster, when everyone read Bai Qinghao¡¯s response, waves of criticism flooded in and shouted at Fang Manxue for being shameless. They scolded her for calling Fang Xinxin a third party when she was the actual third party. In thetest barrage ofments...
Fang Manxue was insulted especially ruthlessly. This was because footage of her sleeping with Bai Chenxi had been leaked!
[You¡¯re truly the world¡¯s number one whore! Fang Manxue, you slept with Bai Chenxi, yet you dared to start a live-stream professing your love for Bai Qinghao. Your whorish tendencies truly know no limits!]
[Fang Manxue, I¡¯ve seriously never seen someone cheaper than you. You imed that Fang Xinxin likes Bai Chenxi, despite having climbed into his bed. You must have felt great when Bai Chenxi rewarded you two thousand dors for sleeping with you!]
[Was sleeping with Bai Chenxi the way you chose to express your love for Bai Qinghao?]
[You better don¡¯t fucking appear at Jing Hua University. You¡¯ve fooled theizens and your schoolmates repeatedly. You better watch out or we¡¯ll show you the consequences!]
News that Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi had slept together was spreading through all the major media outlets rapidly. Thement sections online were filled with insults for Fang Manxue.
In the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Manxue sat on the couch with a paleplexion as she scrolled through the various news reports regarding the matter. She struggled to believe that screenshots of her with Bai Chenxi were being disyed on almost every major news website.
Many of the websites did not bother to censor her photos. The ¡®good show¡¯ between her and Bai Chenxi could clearly be seen by everyone.
It was obvious that someone was intentionally trying to draw attention onto this piece of news.
Fang Manxue read the countless insults written against her in thements section. She was angered to the point of wanting to delete them. However, she did not have the authority to do so.
She logged into the Jing Hua University¡¯s form and found that the post she made earlier was filled with insulting responses.
Even her live-stream ount, which was currently offline, was flooded with angry messages.
There were also a lot of inappropriatements from people who were there simply for entertainment.
She wanted to delete her post from the forum but found that her ount was frozen.
Fang Manxue was angered to the point where her lips had nearly twisted.
¡°Daughter, daughter!¡± Fang Ln had woken up and seen the news.
She rushed downstairs in her pajamas and pointed at her phone. ¡°Did you really sleep with Bai Chenxi?¡±
Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip with some humiliation. ¡°Yes... yes.¡±
Fang Ln lifted her hand in anger and nearly pped Fang Manxue in response. However, she held herself back because she loved her daughter too much. ¡°You were really too careless. Even if you wanted to sleep with Bai Chenxi, you shouldn¡¯t have allowed anyone to record footage of it!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know when they recorded it...¡± Fang Manxue nearly cried in anger.
¡°Tell me the exact details!¡±
¡°That night, I was the one who booked room 619 at Dan Feng Bai Li Hotel. Initially, I had nned to trick Fang Xinxin into sleeping with Jiang Xingnan. But Jiang Xingnan didn¡¯t turn up, so I used Fang Xinxin¡¯s name to ask Bai Chenxi out...¡± Fang Manxue covered her face in anger. ¡°I also didn¡¯t expect to end up in Bai Chenxi¡¯s bed. How could I have known that the room I booked myself would be tampered with? I ended up digging a hole for myself...¡±
Fang Ln red at Fang Manxue harshly. ¡°You fool! You should have been more careful when you schemed against Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°I was being careful!¡± Fang Manxue responded in frustration. ¡°I also don¡¯t understand how she evaded my scheme. It¡¯s as though she had seen what wasing.¡±
¡°As if! If she knew about this, would we still remain in the Fang home?¡± Fang Ln was unconvinced. She pressed her index finger heavily against Fang Manxue¡¯s forehead. ¡°You¡¯re so smart yet you fell into your own trap! It¡¯s fine that you failed to trick her but you actually created this big trouble for yourself!¡±
Chapter 510: It’s So Good To Have You
Chapter 510: It¡¯s So Good To Have You
¡°Mom, what do I do now...¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°Everyone knows that I slept with Bai Chenxi. How am I supposed to marry Bai Qinghao...¡±
Fang Ln sat down on the sofa weakly. ¡°You¡¯re still thinking about marrying Bai Qinghao? With this matter, you¡¯ll never be able to stand up with your head high for the rest of your life. Any family with the slightest bit of social status would never tolerate a woman like you marrying into their family. Not with this footage of you sleeping with another man spreading around the inte!¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue gritted her teeth. ¡°I must have been tricked by Fang Xinxin. It¡¯s her. She must have seen through my scheme and silently set up a trap for me!¡±
¡°You were the one who tried to harm her first. There¡¯s no way of arguing your way out of this.¡± Fang Ln was both angered and felt heartache for her daughter. ¡°Mom also wishes for Fang Xinxin to die. But you were really too careless!¡±
Her daughter¡¯s future was now thoroughly ruined.
Fang Ln was angered to the point where her chest ached.
Sheid back against the couch weakly. ¡°My god, what about my future? I originally thought that after you marry Bai Qinghao, I would be able to enjoy a life of wealth with you... You say you, why did you disappoint us like this!¡±
Long Shuhai also approached her with a dark expression. ¡°Manxue, ah, Manxue. What am I supposed to say to you?¡±
¡°This is all Fang Xinxin¡¯s fault. If you guys really have good intentions for me in mind, help me ruin her! Help me take revenge against her!¡± Fang Manxue cried out in anger. She then ran upstairs and locked herself in her room.
Long Shuhai watched her leave in worry and said to Fang Ln, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go take a look at Manxue? I¡¯m worried that she¡¯ll think of taking her own life.¡±
¡°You were in such a sorry state back then. You were worse than even a dog. Why didn¡¯t I see you taking your own life?¡± Fang Ln bit back.
¡°Why are you bringing up my past for no reason?¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you think about whose genes Manxue is carrying...¡± Fang Ln harrumphed coldly. ¡°My blood is flowing in her veins. Don¡¯t worry. Manxue isn¡¯t that weak.¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s expression was especially poor. ¡°We originally nned on bing rich through Manxue. But now...¡± He narrowed his eyes suddenly. ¡°Don¡¯t we still have Fang Xinxin? Why don¡¯t we shift our hopes onto her?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, that whore. Do you think she¡¯ll reciprocate if you pin your hopes on her?¡± Fang Ln mocked coldly. ¡°She doesn¡¯t even visit this home anymore.¡±
¡°In that case, we will have to rely on you as her mother to carry out a good scheme.¡±
A hint of ruthlessness shed past Fang Ln¡¯s eyes. She gritted her teeth. ¡°No matter what, Manxue is still my birth daughter. If she isn¡¯t happy, Fang Xinxin can also give up any thoughts of living a good life! Didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao bring a different woman back to the Yu Ting Vi a few days ago?¡±
¡°Are you thinking...¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to chase that ugly whore out of the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
...
At Jing Hua University, Fang Xinxin walked along a small path as she read Bai Qinghao¡¯s post again and again.
She really wanted to see him at this moment. Even if he was not in the country, she wanted to go see him right away!
She sent him a message: [Where are you?]
¡°Behind you.¡±
Instead of a reply, she heard the man¡¯s cold and heavy voice from behind her. She immediately noticed that his tall and broad figure was preventing the sunlight from reaching her.
She was fully engulfed by his shadow.
She turned around and Bai Qinghao was right before her. She immediately ran forward and clung onto him like a ko hanging off the ground. ¡°Why did youe here?¡±
¡°I was worried about you.¡± His simple response revealed his deep feelings for her.
She pressed her face against his firm shoulders and spoke in a thick voice wrung with emotions. ¡°Bai Qinghao, it¡¯s so good to have you in my life.¡±
Chapter 511: Properly Cherish You
Chapter 511: Properly Cherish You
It was as though their hearts were connected. The moment she wanted to see him, he was here.
She was the only woman he would ever have in his life. Bai Qinghao felt it was only natural that he treat her well. However, he did not express this.
His heavy voice carried a hint of heartache. ¡°How old are you? You¡¯re still crying at this age?¡±
His heartache only worsened her urge to cry. She buried her face in his chest and responded gloomily. ¡°I¡¯m only neen years old. I¡¯m not even twenty yet.¡±
He naturally knew this. If she was twenty, he would already have married her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡±
The sound of her crying left him feeling as though someone had stabbed him right in his heart.
She looked up with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not crying. I¡¯m happy. I mean it!¡±
He was worried she would fall off with the way she was clinging onto him and decided to bring her up into a princess carry. He then brought her to a nearby bench and sat down with her on hisp. He looked down at her little face covered in medicine. ¡°What¡¯s making you so happy?¡±
¡°It¡¯s because you wanted to marry me.¡± She had been too affected by the possibility that he agreed to their engagement for his grandmother.
If she had known he had chosen her himself, and that he wasn¡¯t doing this out of a sense of responsibility, she would never have fallen for Bai Chenxi in her past life. Instead, she would have held onto him no matter the difficulties.
Unfortunately, in the ten years of marriage they previously shared, she only came to this realisation at the very end.
She took in his cold and stern features. ¡°Thankfully, there¡¯s still time for everything.¡±
In this life, she could properly make up for all the love she previously owed him.
He lifted his brows as a hint of confusion shed past his eyes. ¡°Time for what?¡±
She would not mention events from their past life to him. ¡°To properly cherish you.¡±
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved by her words. He tightened his arms around her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, those are the words I wanted to say to you!¡±
His voice was especially serious.
¡°En.¡± She pressed her little face in his firm chest and felt the warmth of his embrace. As they quietly held each other, she felt a sweet happiness filling her up.
Bai Qinghao held her silently.
It was as though he could not bear to disturb the peace that they were sharing.
¡°Click!¡± A Jing Hua University student captured a photo of them embracing. He nned on posting it on Weibo.
Liu Li, who was guarding nearby, immediately stepped forward. He snatched the phone and was about to delete the photo when Bai Qinghao spoke up. ¡°Save the photo before deleting it.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Liu Li did not ask any questions. He sent a copy of the photo to his own email address, before carrying out his boss¡¯s order and deleting it from the phone.
When the students around them saw this, though their eyes remained fixed on Bai Qinghao, they did not dare to take any more photos.
Bai Qinghao was the country¡¯s idol. Naturally, the crowd around them began to grow.
Fang Xinxin said, ¡°Let¡¯s return to the Yu Ting Vi. I don¡¯t want to attend ss today.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure stiffened slightly and she immediately guessed it. ¡°Do you have work to do?¡±
He nodded slightly. ¡°I can rearrange it.¡±
¡°No, no. Don¡¯t dy your work.¡± She stood up from hisp and urged. ¡°Quickly go.¡±
He immediately felt a sense of loss when she left his arms. He tugged her back and responded heavily. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°But...¡± She wanted to argue but was cut off firmly. ¡°There are no buts.¡±
She looked up and saw a hint of fatigue in his expression. It was clear that he didn¡¯t catch any sleepst night.

Chapter 512: Yang Fen
¡°In that case, let¡¯s return to the Yu Ting Vi to rest.¡± She decided immediately.
If she had known he woulde looking for her after working all night, she wouldn¡¯t have slept in school and instead would have stayed in the Yu Ting Vi.
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly.
¡®Bai Qinghao, perhaps, my feelings for you are as strong as the ones you have for me.¡¯
By the time she awoke, it was afternoon.
She knew without opening her eyes that she was no longer in his warm embrace. She guessed that Bai Qinghao must have woken up.
She opened her eyes. As expected, Bai Qinghao was not by her side.
Perhaps he was in the backyard?
She washed up and applied ayer of medicine on her skin before stepping out of the bedroom.
Butler Zhao was waiting respectfully outside the room. ¡°Miss Fang, Young Master instructed me to inform you that he has urgent matters to handle. He will return as soon as possible.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
Bai Qinghao was the CEO of Sheng Shi Group, one of the most sessful corporations in the world. He was also the heir of the affluent Bai family. It was no surprise that he tended to be busy.
¡°Lunch has been prepared. Will you head to the dining room now?¡± Butler Zhao was very attentive.
¡°Alright.¡± After lunch, Fang Xinxin strolled through the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s garden. Bodyguard Liu Li followed right behind her.
Liu Li nced at her for a moment before speaking up. ¡°Fang Xinxin, a few days ago, Boss brought a beautiful woman back to the Yu Ting Vi. Do you know about this?¡±
¡°I do.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t mind it?¡±
She shook her head. ¡°What¡¯s there to mind?¡±
The beautiful woman Bai Qinghao had brought back home was her.
Liu Li thought internally that the ugly Fang Xinxin actually did not mind his boss having other women. Did it mean that her actual target was his boss¡¯s money?
He did not dare to offend this woman again and carefully kept his thoughts hidden away.
Some timeter, another bodyguard took over Liu Li¡¯s shift.
Fang Xinxin did not mind the people Bai Qinghao had instructed to protect her. She stood in the garden and took in the flowers that were blooming.
¡°Miss Fang, there¡¯s a youngdy named Yang Fen outside the front yard. She says she¡¯s here to meet you,¡± a maid stepped forward to report.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Send her away.¡± Although the name was familiar, Fang Xinxin did not know this person.
¡°She knows that you won¡¯t wish to see her. She said that she is...¡± the maid hesitated.
¡°What?¡±
¡°This subordinate only dares to speak if you promise not to me me.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
¡°She says that she is the Young Master¡¯s woman.¡± After speaking, the maid immediately lifted her head slightly to peek at Fang Xinxin¡¯s response.
If Fang Xinxin were any other woman, the news that her fianc¨¦ had another woman would definitely have angered her.
Instead, Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression did not change in the slightest. ¡°Tell her to scram.¡±
If this person was truly Bai Qinghao¡¯s woman, would she be afraid of entering the Yu Ting Vi?
¡°Understood.¡± The maid turned to leave. When she returned, she handed a yellow envelope to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Yang Fen asked me to hand this to you.¡±
Fang Xinxin opened the envelope to see that it contained a photo.
The photo captured the sight of Bai Qinghao leaving the Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel. He held a woman with a stunningly beautiful figure in his arms. The woman¡¯s appearance was unfamiliar but attractive.
The maid had sharp eyes and managed to catch a glimpse of the photo. She was internally shocked by the sight of her young master holding another woman. It seemed like Fang Xinxin would soon be forced off her position.
Fang Xinxin saw that the woman in the photo appeared especially strange... though the woman¡¯s body was clearly hers, her face was not!
Clearly, this photo had been edited and a stranger¡¯s face had been added onto it.

Chapter 513: Brother’s Love
Chapter 513: Brother¡¯s Love
Didn¡¯t Fang Manxue hide in a corner to take this photo after leaving room 615 that day?
She had then urgently sought her out and even showed her the photos in her phone. Although this was a different photo, Fang Xinxin could tell that they were taken from the same angle.
In other words, Fang Manxue was the person who had edited this photo to trick her.
Right now, her second sister¡¯s scandal was extremely big. She did not expect her to still have the energy toe up with this scheme.
It seemed like Fang Manxue truly hated her.
Fang Xinxin carelessly tossed the edited photo into the trash bin.
Ding!
Right then, she received a message on her phone.
She lowered her head to see that it was from her elder brother, Fang Shaohua.
She had been a popr figure recently and her elder brother had consistently expressed his concern for her.
She lifted her phone to write him a response. However, after thinking about it, she decided that it was best to give it some time.
After learning of her elder brother¡¯s feelings, she had assumed that she could pretend as though nothing happened.
However, her elder brother actually wanted to be with her...
She had already clearly expressed that she did not wish him to think too much about this matter. She would only be with Bai Qinghao in this life.
However, this was the message her brother sent her: [Xinxin, I... miss you.]
This... how was she supposed to interpret this?
Was he referring to the way an elder brother missed his young sister, or was he referring to something deeper?
It had been quite some days since she met her elder brother. Normally, she would have already visited him in Hong Sheng District.
Right now, however, she truly could only avoid him.
She instructed the maid to notify her chauffeur, Tong Yu, that she was preparing to head out.
After a while, Fang Xinxin sat in the backseat of her extremely extravagant Bugatti Veyron. As the car drove out of the front yard, all of a sudden, a woman who was waiting outside, ran forward to stand in their way.
Tong Yu rushed to step on the brakes. He had nearly crashed into her!
¡°Fang Xinxin, I have something to say to you!¡± The woman shouted in front of the car.
Fang Xinxin lowered the window and saw a woman whose appearance was identical to that of the woman in the edited photo.
Unfortunately, her figure was slightly less attractive than Fang Xinxin¡¯s.
That woman wore a pair of heels and she had a thinyer of makeup on. She approached the car and knocked lightly against the window. ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m Yang Fen. Earlier, I requested for the maid to hand a photo to you. Can we talk?¡±
Fang Xinxin saw that she was rather polite and nodded. ¡°Yang Fen... I was wondering why your name was so familiar. You¡¯re the nurse who epted Fang Ln¡¯s money and wrote the long post about my unfilial actions?¡±
¡°Miss Fang sure has a good memory. That¡¯s right.¡± She reached her hand out for a polite handshake. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not reciprocate her polite gesture. ¡°Do you need something?¡±
¡°Could we speak alone?¡± Yang Fen nced at the chauffeur, Tong Yu, and appeared somewhat wary.
¡°No.¡± Fang Xinxin responded expressionlessly. ¡°No matter what it is that you have to say, it¡¯s not important to me.¡±
¡°Is the matter rted to CEO Bai unimportant as well?¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered. ¡°You sure know how to attract my curiosity.¡±
She knew that Yang Fen hade with an ulterior motive. However, she still felt the urge to hear everything rted to Bai Qinghao.
Just like the way Bai Qinghao cared for her.
However, she would not mistake lies for truth.
She opened the car door and walked to the side of the road. Yang Fen rushed to follow after her. ¡°You saw the photo I gave you, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°What about it?¡± She lifted her brows.
¡°Aren¡¯t you angry that Bai Qinghao was holding me?¡± Yang Fen was astonished.
¡°What¡¯s there for me to be angry about?¡± It was an edited photo. Bai Qinghao would never even touch this woman.

Chapter 514: Yang Fen’s Web Of Lies
Chapter 514: Yang Fen¡¯s Web Of Lies
Yang Fen looked slightly apologetic. ¡°Miss Fang, the truth is, I only wrote that post because Madam Fang Ln instructed me to. I received her money and had to follow her orders. After the matter, I felt very upset and was worried that CEO Bai would punish me. Therefore, I went to apologise to him.¡±
Fang Xinxin smirked mockingly. ¡°You sure are interesting. You ndered me for being unfilial but you apologised to Bai Qinghao and not me?¡±
¡°This...¡± Yang Fen bit her bottom lip. ¡°I wasn¡¯t able to reach you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s much harder to meet Bai Qinghao than to meet me.¡± Fang Xinxin responded carelessly. ¡°With your method of running into a moving car, if you had stepped in the way of his car rather than mine, you most likely would have been directly crushed under his wheels.¡±
When Yang Fen heard this, she immediately felt her goosebumps rising in fear. ¡°Anyway, CEO Bai was very upset about the post I wrote. After I apologised sincerely, CEO Bai¡¯s anger finally receded. Coincidentally, his phone was out of battery, so he borrowed mine to make a call. After the incident, we ended up having each other¡¯s contact number. As you know, Bai Qinghao is the object of the entire country¡¯s admiration. There are countless women who have feelings for him. I¡¯m no different. I sent CEO Bai a lot of messages but he never once responded to me.¡±
Yang Fen observed Fang Xinxin¡¯s reaction as she spoke and looked for the slightest hint of anger. However, Fang Xinxin remained expressionless and did not reveal anything.
Yang Fen could only continue. ¡°I originally assumed that the messages I sent CEO Bai were futile and I was about to give up all hopes regarding him. However, that night, he suddenly made an urgent call to me and told me to go to Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel. He said he had identally taken an aphrodisiac and needed a woman. Furthermore, he had failed to contact you that night.¡±
She continued scrutinising Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression. But the other party remained unmoved.
Yang Fen suddenly felt apprehensive and carefully said, ¡°I¡¯m sure you know that countless women in this country can only dream of climbing into CEO Bai¡¯s bed. I¡¯m not an exception. That night, despite my uncertainties, I rushed to Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel and became intimate with CEO Bai.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not bother to even pretend to put on an angry expression. Instead, she asked indifferently. ¡°Are you done with your lies?¡±
¡°How am I lying?¡± Yang Fen frowned in anger. ¡°Miss Fang, I know that you have trouble epting this, but things have already happened.¡± She suddenly smiled with joy. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect someone as cold-hearted as CEO Bai to have such a gentle side to him. That night, he actually carried me out of the hotel. More surprisingly, someone took a photo of us and sent it to my phone to threaten me.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Fang Xinxin finally appeared interested. ¡°How did they threaten you?¡±
¡°The other party demanded a sum of money and threatened to release the photo to the public otherwise. If that happens, I¡¯ll be known as a third party.¡± Yang Fen smiled bitterly. ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m sure you know this but I¡¯m really short on money. Otherwise, I would never have epted your mother¡¯s offer to criticise you for being unfilial. After all, there are no grievances between us. Please do not resent me for that matter. I was only carrying out my task after receiving her money. In other words, even if I didn¡¯t make that post, as long as your mother offered the money, someone else would have done it.¡±
¡°Indeed.¡± Fang Xinxin responded., ¡°That is why I didn¡¯t look for you. I even spoke up for you when Bai Qinghao tried to take your life in revenge.¡± She smirked mockingly. ¡°Otherwise, do you think you would have been able to stand here with your life intact?¡±

Chapter 515: You Are Really That Greedy?
Chapter 515: You Are Really That Greedy?
¡°I knew it. Everyone knows that Bai Qinghao is extremely cruel. Yet, he was willing to forgive me.¡± Yang Fen appeared enlightened and her expression turned grateful. ¡°It turns out that Miss Fang was the person who helped me. Thank you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s clear gaze did not contain much emotion. ¡°I wasn¡¯t helping you. I was simply gathering some good karma for myself.¡±
After all, she had been too foolish in her previous life. After her marriage, she became both blind and paralysed. She was truly too pitiful.
By letting go of the people she could afford to let go of and gathering some good karma for herself, perhaps, her life would be slightly better this time?
Just as Yang Fen said, back then, she had only written the post because she had taken the money from Fang Ln. Even if she had not epted the task, someone else would have done it instead of her.
¡°Regardless, I¡¯m very grateful to you. However, these two things are separate matters.¡± Yang Fen appeared to be troubled. ¡°Miss Fang, the person who threatened me has a copy of the photo I gave you. They n on releasing it to the public. If we wish to conceal this matter, we will have to pay them a certain amount to seal their lips.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her attractive appearance and asked carelessly. ¡°How much?¡±
Yang Fen nced at the limited edition Bugatti Veyron waiting by the side. This car alone was worth more than 25 million dors...
Ba Qinghao had generously gifted ten luxury cars to Fang Xinxin. Even the cheapest one was worth five hundred thousand dors.
¡°I¡¯m not greedy.¡± Yang Fen responded. ¡°Didn¡¯t CEO Bai buy ten different luxury cars for you? It¡¯s not as if you can finish using all of them. You can give me any one of these cars.¡±
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. ¡°So you¡¯re trying to scam me of five hundred thousand dors?¡±
¡°How could this be a scam?¡± Yang Fen¡¯s expression was disapproving. She continued somewhat urgently. ¡°I don¡¯t have much money with me. I can¡¯t meet their demands.¡±
¡°How is that rted to me?¡±
¡°The fact that your fianc¨¦ slept with me is an extremely scandalous event.¡± Yang Fen urged her. ¡°That night, CEO Bai also did not wish for this to happen. He had been affected by the aphrodisiac and truly had no other way out. He really tried to contact you first but the calls were simply not getting through to your phone. I could tell that CEO Bai¡¯s heart was really set on you. Otherwise...¡±
A hint of helplessness appeared in her gaze. ¡°Otherwise, CEO Bai wouldn¡¯t have warned me not to look for you at the Yu Ting Vi. But I was threatened and I can¡¯t pay the amount that they are demanding. I could only thicken my skin ande here to look for you.¡±
Her gaze was pleading. ¡°¡±Miss Fang, please just give me a car or some cash of equal value. Let me pay the person who took the photo so that this matter can be concealed. Otherwise, if news that CEO Bai slept with me behind your back gets out, his reputation will definitely be affected. He slept with another woman despite having a fianc¨¦e. Considering his status and power, outsiders will also mock you for failing to hold onto his heart. They¡¯ll suspect that you don¡¯t have a firm hold on the seat of Madam Bai. Furthermore, if you don¡¯t give me the money that I need to pay them, I¡¯ll have to continue clinging onto CEO Bai. If you won¡¯t give me the money, I can only ask him for it.¡±
¡°It seems like you do make a little sense.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to be somewhat convinced.
Yang Fen saw that her expression had softened and assumed that she was willing to pay. Her eyes immediately lit up.
If she had known this would happen, she would have asked for more!
Perhaps...
She nced at the Bugatti in greed. ¡°You can just give me that Bugatti Veyron.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her in astonishment. ¡°You¡¯re that greedy? I really couldn¡¯t tell.¡±

Chapter 516: Beauty Competition
Chapter 516: Beauty Competition
¡°How could this be called as being greedy?¡± A hint of ridicule appeared on Yang Fen¡¯s expression. ¡°CEO Bai bought you ten different cars. I only asked for one of them.¡±
¡°Get this clear: The cars are mine, not yours.¡±
¡°But I¡¯m CEO Bai¡¯s woman.¡± Yang Fen threatened her. ¡°If you don¡¯t give the Bugatti to me, I¡¯ll continue clinging onto Bai Qinghao. You have to know that...¡±
Yang Fen scanned the medicine on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face with a look of disdain. She could not see her true appearance beneath it.
However, she previously saw a photo of Fang Xinxin. The frightening e that covered her face...
¡°Although you¡¯ve lost weight and have now obtained a good figure, you should still take a good look at your appearance.¡± Yang Fen touched her own face confidently. ¡°I¡¯m a little beauty. I can easily overtake you in any form ofparison. I¡¯ve already shared the most intimate rtionship with CEO Bai in that hotel. He even carried me out of that ce. This indicates that I do have a ce in his heart. You¡¯re so ugly. With my appearance, if I truly wish to fight for the position of Madam Bai with you, there won¡¯t be any seriouspetition.¡±
¡°So...¡± Yang Fen suddenly appeared charitable. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m being kind to you by only taking a Bugatti worth 25 million dors from you. The position of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯ is priceless!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled.
There waspletely no need for her to use the medicine anymore. As of now, she was more stunning than a goddess. If shepeted with Yang Fen, indeed, there wouldn¡¯t be any seriouspetition to speak of.
However, Fang Manxue, that whore, had added drugs into her medicine that could disfigure her.
Although she did not use that medicine, she needed to convince Fang Manxue that she had fallen for her scheme in order to force her to drop her guard.
Thus, she decided to continue using the medicine whenever she was outside until Fang Manxue was finally disfigured.
She did not expect to be looked down on by a gambling addict. ¡°Miss Yang Fen, don¡¯t think that I¡¯ve never investigated your background. You have a debt of several hundred thousand dors. The bank has already cklisted you. You must be having a tough time running away from your debtors. With your lowly situation, you think you¡¯re going easy on me? Why don¡¯t you go ahead and publicise the matter then.¡±
¡°You...¡± Yang Fen¡¯s expression became poor now that she was exposed.
Fang Xinxin indifferently rified. ¡°First of all, if the photo is released, even if it¡¯s real, it can cause no actual harm to Bai Qinghao. With his status and power, at most he¡¯ll be known for being a yboy from now onwards. Second, there¡¯s no need for you to worry if I¡¯ll lose my hold over the role of Madam Bai. Thirdly, as long as I don¡¯t mind this matter, that photo of yours will only be a piece of garbage.Oh, by the way, I already tossed that photo into the trash bin.¡±
Yang Fen was infuriated. The luxury car nearly entered her hands but disappeared just as quickly. ¡°If I cling onto Bai Qinghao, I¡¯ll eventually be Yu Ting Vi¡¯sdy and make you regret this!¡±
¡°In this life, there¡¯s nothing that I¡¯ll possibly regret.¡± She had been sufficiently foolish in her previous life.
Yang Fen saw that hard tactics did not work on her.
So, she decided to continue using her soft tactics. ¡°Could it be that you don¡¯t believe that Bai Qinghao and I were intimate? I¡¯ll tell you about the specific details of that night. In fact, it was your second sister, Fang Manxue, who wanted to scheme against you. Think about it. How could an outsider like me know about this? It¡¯s Bai Qinghao who told me about it. This is proof that everything I said is the truth.¡±

Chapter 517: Identity Of Her Employer
Chapter 517: Identity Of Her Employer
Fang Xinxin smiled and asked her. ¡°Did Fang Manxue teach you to say this?¡±
¡°How is this rted to her?¡± Yang Fen continued firmly. ¡°Everything I just said was the truth!¡±
She brought a photo out from her bag. It was identical to the one she had requested the maid to hand over to Fang Xinxin earlier.
She pointed at the face in the photo before pointing at herself. ¡°Do you see this? Look at the way Bai Qinghao is carrying me. He has never treated you like this, has he? I¡¯m bound to be Yu Ting Vi¡¯sdy!¡±
From the gates, she could look into the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s enormous and stunning yard. The extravagant European-styled main building clearly unted the owner¡¯s status and power.
If she could be the female owner of this ce, even if it was only for a day, she would be willing to sacrifice her life in return.
Fang Xinxin smirked mockingly. ¡°I wonder if I should describe you as pitiful or tragic? Or perhaps, I should say that your acting is really good?¡±
She took in the greed in Yang Fen¡¯s gaze. ¡°It seems that you¡¯re not good just at acting. You epted Fang Manxue¡¯s money to work for her, yet you¡¯re still trying to bite more than you can chew.¡±
She could not be bothered to tell her that the person in the photo was actually her. The person who slept with Bai Qinghao that night was also her.
She twisted the recording pen in her hand and yed a portion of what she had recorded. Yang Fen¡¯s voice immediately rang loud and clear:
¡°If we wish to conceal this matter, we will have to pay them a certain amount to seal their lips... Miss Fang, please just give me a car or some cash of equal value... Fang Xinxin, I¡¯m being kind to you by only taking a Bugatti worth 25 million dors from you...¡±
Yang Fen appeared confused. ¡°What do you mean by this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s simple.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Initially, I had nned on letting you off because you were simply working for someone else. It would have been ok if you scrammed after I refused to see you. Unfortunately, you became too greedy.¡±
She lifted her hand. The bodyguard guarding by the vi entrance immediately approached them. ¡°Miss Fang, what are your orders?¡±
Boss had instructed that Miss Fang had authority over all the people in the Yu Ting Vi.
¡°Yang Fen is under suspicion of attempting to scam 25 million dors from me. Send her to jail.¡± Fang Xinxin handed the recording pen to the bodyguard. ¡°This is the evidence.¡±
She then headed for the expensive Bugatti.
The bodyguard immediately pressed Yang Fen¡¯s arms behind her back and began dragging her towards Yu Ting Vi¡¯s work-use SUV.
Yang Fen¡¯splexion abruptly turned pale. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you can¡¯t do this. Bai Qinghao won¡¯t let you off!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin offered her an admiring nce after climbing into the car.
This was because Yang Fen was still concealing the identity of her employer.
¡°Fang Xinxin, Bai Qinghao will protect me. You¡¯ll definitely regret doing this, you¡¯ll regret it!¡± Yang Fen shrieked loudly. She struggled to believe that she had not only failed toplete the task that her employer gave her but was even about to be charged with a scam of 25 million dors.
Fang Xinxin was slightly unhappy about being dyed.
Nheless, she instructed Tong Yu to send her to Jia Ya Hospital. She nned on visiting her father, Long Yifan.
When they arrived at the hospital, Tong Yu parked the car and remained at the carpark to wait for her.
Fang Xinxin took the elevator up to the thirty-eight storey.
With a ¡®ding¡¯ noise, the elevator arrived at the highest floor. Fang Xinxin stepped into the hallway and approached a hospital ward guarded by two bodyguards.
¡°Miss Fang,¡± The two bodyguards immediately greeted her.
¡°Is my brother here?¡± She suddenly recalled that her brother often visited the hospital to care for their father. It was very likely that she would encounter Fang Shaohua here.
One of the bodyguards nodded.
Fang Xinxin was about to leave when the room door opened.
Fang Shaohua stood in the doorway with an expression of joy and surprise. ¡°Third Sister, you¡¯re here!¡±

Chapter 518: Sun Jiamu And Fang Shaohua’s Meeting (Part 1)
Chapter 518: Sun Jiamu And Fang Shaohua¡¯s Meeting (Part 1)
¡°Brother.¡± She gave him a natural smile and could only step into the hospital room.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze followed after her. ¡°Third Sister, have you been very busy? It¡¯s been days since youst visited our father?¡±
In the past, she always responded to his messages very quickly. These days however, her responses were very slow.
He knew that she was avoiding him.
Since she refused to visit him in the Hong Sheng District, he decided to guard the hospital room everyday. Now, he finally managed to meet her.
¡°I¡¯m a little busy.¡± Her newpany had just been established and that kept her busy. More importantly, she spent most of her time apanying Bai Qinghao.
Fang Shaohua did not say more. ¡°In that case, you have to take good care of your body. Don¡¯t overly exhaust yourself.¡±
¡°En.¡± She smiled. ¡°Brother should also take care of his health.¡±
Although her smile was the same as ever, in the past, he was always able to feel her concern for him. Right now however, all he noticed was a sense of distance from her.
Fang Shaohua could not express the disappointment he felt.
¡°It¡¯s a little warm today.¡± Fang Shaohua poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. ¡°There aren¡¯t any drinks in the room. Have some tea?¡±
¡°En.¡± She sat down and nced at her father¡¯s unmoving figure. ¡°How has Dad been recently?¡±
¡°Although there still isn¡¯t any indication of him waking up, his body has fully recovered from his surgery.¡± Fang Shaohua said with praise in his voice, ¡°The caretakers here aren¡¯t bad. They¡¯ve been taking very good care of him.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Fang Xinxin felt very grateful towards Bai Qinghao as this was all arranged by him.
Her father was hospitalised in Jia Ya Hospital and all the doctors and care workers hired for him were the best of the best.
¡°Is there any progress with my case?¡± Fang Shaohua wasn¡¯t originally hasty about this.
However, as he felt the distance increasing between them, he felt that he needed to get rid of his criminal charges quickly.
The two of them were not blood-rted. He needed to have his innocence back before he could openly pursue her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother...¡± A hint of worry shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve already employed several different organisations to pursue Wang Liangping. However, it¡¯s as though he haspletely disappeared. When we finally find him, the truth will be revealed. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s take it naturally.¡± Fang Shaohua knew very well that she was trying her utmost. He could also sense that someone was interfering with this matter behind the scenes.
However, he could not help but feel disappointed. He was worried he would lose the opportunity to pursue her...
The two of them chatted on and off for a while.
Fang Xinxin noticed that her brother¡¯s gaze was constantly fixated on her. It was as though he could not bear to look away.
This left her feeling very ufortable. She was about to say she needed to leave when her phone rang.
She brought her phone out to see that it¡¯s a call from Sun Jiamu. The moment she answered, Sun Jiamu¡¯s sweet voice could be heard. ¡°Xinxin, your father has been hospitalised for so long. I¡¯ve always wanted to visit him but I¡¯ve been too busy. Are you free today? I¡¯m thinking of visiting Uncle at the hospital.¡±
¡°Thank you for your thoughts, but it¡¯s alright.¡±
¡°No it¡¯s not.¡± Sun Jiamu asked, ¡°Are you busy? You can give me his hospital room number. I¡¯ll go there myself.¡±
Since she had said so, Fang Xinxin could only share the address with her. ¡°I¡¯m in the hospital room. You cane now.¡±
¡°I¡¯m only a short distance away. I¡¯ll be there immediately.¡±
After Fang Xinxin ended the call, Fang Shaohua asked. ¡°Was that the good friend you spoke about? Sun Jiamu?¡±
¡°En.¡± She had previously mentioned her to him.
¡°Do you need me to leave first?¡±
#
Chapter 519: Sun Jiamu And Fang Shaohua’s Meeting (Part 2)
Chapter 519: Sun Jiamu And Fang Shaohua¡¯s Meeting (Part 2)
Fang Xinxin thought about it and shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Sun Jiamu is trustworthy. I previously brought up your matter with her and she was rather sympathetic about your situation.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t need her sympathy!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not exactly sympathy. Her heart just aches for the grievance you have suffered...¡±
¡°She¡¯s just a stranger. I don¡¯t need her heartache!¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was slightly stiff.
¡°Brother...¡± She saw that hisplexion was poor.
She continued gently. ¡°If you don¡¯t like me telling Sun Jiamu about your matter, I won¡¯t do it again in the future.¡±
Fang Shaohua took in his third sister¡¯s careful expression and suddenly felt a hint of heartache. He sighed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xinxin. I¡¯m in the wrong.¡±
¡°Why are you apologising for no reason?¡± She frowned.
¡°You¡¯ve always been someone who understands what should be said and what shouldn¡¯t.¡± Fang Shaohua responded in heartache. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you wish to tell her about me.¡±
Besides, the entire country knew about him being imprisoned. It did not matter if one Sun Jiamu knew about it.
Fang Xinxin could tell that her elder brother was in a bad mood. She decided not to say anything more.
Fang Shaohua gaze lingered on Fang Xinxin. It was as though he was trying to carve her image into his heart.
Right now, it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to meet outsiders. If it was revealed that he wasn¡¯t actually ill, his temporary release would be rescinded.
Of course, the bodyguards outside the hospital room were the people Bai Qinghao trusted. They would not cause trouble.
He deliberated for a moment and decided to make his move first.
A few minutester, Sun Jiamu¡¯s voice could be heard from outside the hospital room. The bodyguards were preventing her from entering.
Fang Xinxin opened the room door and said, ¡°She¡¯s my friend. Let her in.¡±
The bodyguard spoke to Sun Jiamu. ¡°My apologies, Miss. We weren¡¯t intentionally trying to keep you out. We were only trying to fulfil our duties.¡±
Sun Jiamu pushed her thick-framed ck sses up. ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s good that you are so firm on this.¡± She added. ¡°Remember, don¡¯t ever let Fang Ln, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai, the three trouble makers, in here.¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t worry. The people who are not Miss Fang Xinxin¡¯s guests will never be able to disturb Mr. Long,¡± The bodyguard responded.
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Sun Jiamu stepped into the room with a basket of fresh, pink carnations. She approached the bedside to look at Long Yifan. ¡°Is Uncle better?¡±
¡°He is the same as ever.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s smile turned slightly bitter. ¡°The doctor said that my father will forever remain in aa.¡±
Sun Jiamu sighed and patted her on the shoulder. She then scanned the hospital room and saw that there was no one else here. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your elder brother was here? Where is he?¡±
¡°He left to take care of some matters.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Sun Jiamu responded. ¡°You previously mentioned that your brother is very good looking. I was looking forward to seeing him.¡±
¡°There¡¯ll be future opportunities.¡± Fang Xinxin received the basket of flowers from her. ¡°It¡¯s good enough that you came. Why did you spend money on this?¡±
¡°I wanted to buy something delicious for my uncle.¡± Sun Jiamu shrugged. ¡°But right now... I could only buy him flowers. I hope he will get well soon.¡±
The two of them chatted for a while. Fang Xinxin instructed the caretakers to take good care of her father before she left with Sun Jiamu.
At the carpark, Fang Shaohua stood behind a corner with a baseball cap on. He watched the two girls walking side by side.
His gaze never oncended on Sun Jiamu. Instead, it was fixed on Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin could sense someone watching her. She turned around but did not find anyone staring at her.
#
Chapter 520: Here To Find Information
Chapter 520: Here To Find Information
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Sun Jiamu asked.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Perhaps she was being overly cautious. At the very least, she did not sense any ill-intentions.
¡°The footage of your second sister, Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi has been exposed. This news is truly pleasing,¡± Sun Jiamu expressed her happiness. ¡°Let¡¯s see how she still intends to snatch Bai Qinghao from you.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Where are you headed to?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going back to school. What about you?¡±
¡°I still have things to do. You should go ahead first. Do you need my chauffeur to send you back?¡±
¡°I drove my own car here.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The two of them then went separate ways.
Fang Shaohua waited for Fang Xinxin to climb into the expensive Bugatti before he headed back to his own newly purchased car.
¡°Shaohua...¡± A middle-aged woman appeared behind him.
Fang Shaohua was wearing a mask. He turned back to see that the woman was actually Fang Ln.
The moment his gazended on her, he was enraged. He clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails into his palm.
He was almost fully certain that the person who caused him to be imprisoned was Fang Ln.
This was because his father had indicated that he was supposed to be the Fang Group¡¯s director. Only by removing him could Fang Ln take over his position.
Fang Ln noticed the hint of hatred in his gaze. She expressed with certainty. ¡°You¡¯re Shaohua, right?¡±
Fang Shaohua paid no attention to her. He reached for the car¡¯s door.
Fang Ln¡¯s gazended on his brand new car. This car was worth more than a hundred thousand dors. He was a criminal. Where did he find the money to buy such a good car?
Could it be that he had money hidden away?
She immediately felt some anger. However, her expression turned sorrowful as she blocked his way.
She touched his hand before he could open the car door. ¡°Shaohua, Mom wishes to speak to you.¡±
Fang Shaohua pulled his hand back in disdain. He red at her coldly.
¡°Mom has waited here for you so many times. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to finally meet you. Is your health better now?¡± Fang Ln scanned her with an expression of concern.
He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. She had no way of determining if he was actually ill.
If it was true, then that was fine.
Otherwise ... the temporary leave he had applied for, citing medical reasons...
She could use this to threaten Fang Xinxin. This way, that damn whore would have no way but to obediently beg Bai Qinghao for some benefits for the Fang Group!
Fang Shaohua was a smart person. He naturally could guess Fang Ln¡¯s ns. He suddenly coughed and tugged his mask down to spit a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground.
Fang Ln had checked. He was diagnosed with an infectious type of lung disease. If his illness was real, there was a chance she could be infected.
The sight of him coughing blood left her scrambling backwards in fear. She stared at his pale and thinplexion. It didn¡¯t seem like he was faking this. ¡°You¡¯re... you¡¯re really sick?¡±
Fang Shaohua brought a packet of tissue out of his pocket and wiped the blood away from his lips. ¡°Thank you for your concern. I¡¯m just one step away from death.¡±
Fang Ln hade looking for him in hopes of obtaining information that could be used against Fang Xinxin. Right now however, it seemed like she had to change her strategy.
¡°Shaohua, ah. You¡¯ve been released for so long yet you haven¡¯t visited Mom at home even once.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not my mom.¡± His tone was indifferent.
¡°Although I¡¯m not your birth mother, no matter what, I¡¯m still the adopted mother that raised you.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was slightly unhappy.
She then tried to look stern. ¡°Youmitted such a serious and ruthless crime. I won¡¯t talk about how it was a waste for me to bring you up. But at the very least, you should have some respect for me.¡±
¡°Do you dare say that my plight today has nothing to do with you?¡± Fang Shaohua smiled coldly.
#
Chapter 521: Lend Me Your Car
Chapter 521: Lend Me Your Car
¡°What do you mean by that!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression changed as she demanded. ¡°What do your crimes have to do with me?¡±
As she took in his mocking expression, she softened her stance. ¡°Shaohua, I understand that you have some misunderstandings about me, but these grievances between a mother and a son shouldn¡¯t be held onto. When your illness has been cured, return to prison and properly serve your sentence. Do your best to get an early release. We¡¯re still a family.¡±
She originally wanted to invite him back to the Fang family. However, hisplexion was especially poor and he had just coughed out blood. The stench of blood was thick in the air. There was no way it was fake.
He had a serious lung disease. If he passed his disease to the people in the family...
It was better not to take this risk.
¡°Mom is really worried about you.¡± Fang Ln appeared sorrowful as her tears welled up. ¡°Fang Shaohua, ever since you were imprisoned, your future was thoroughly ruined. Mom has been thoroughly heartbroken and I¡¯ve yet to fullye to terms with it.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Shaohua took in her radiant and healthy appearance.
This woman never once visited him in the prison during the past three years. She only came by once when he was first imprisoned and that also to question if he had any money saved under his name. She had wanted to take all his savings away. Was this what she meant by being thoroughly heartbroken?
¡°No matter how upset I was, I needed to get my act together. Your father also went into aa.¡± She intentionally put on a pitiful act. ¡°The entire family was dependent on your mom for a living. Your sister, Xinxin, in particr, really made me worry a lot. Perhaps it¡¯s because I didn¡¯t give her enough care, but she¡¯s alsoe to misunderstand me. You¡¯ve always been close to Xinxin. Right now, the Fang Group is facing a financial crisis. I won¡¯t be able to hold on for much longer. Could you help speak up for Mom in front of Xinxin?¡±
¡°No.¡± His refusal was decisive.
Fang Ln was angered to the point where her chest started to hurt. She was already lowering herself and being generous by speaking to this criminal!
¡°Shaohua, are you really going to watch as your father¡¯spany closes down?¡±
The mocking look in Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze increased. ¡°Look at me right now... I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s nothing I can do to help you.¡±
¡°Xinxin has always been obedient to you. As long as you tell her nicely, she¡¯ll definitely listen to you. Let¡¯s ask Bai Qinghao to help us.¡± Fang Ln spoke somewhat urgently. ¡°Even a little support from Bai Qinghao would be enough for the Fang Group to soar once more!¡±
The moment she mentioned Bai Qinghao, Fang Shaohua was angered. ¡°Don¡¯t you have any back bone? You¡¯re always relying on the Bai family for survival. Haven¡¯t you woken up after being called a ¡®vermin¡¯?¡±
¡°I...¡± Her tears rolled down her cheeks. ¡°Do you think I wish to be scolded? I¡¯m doing all this for your father. I don¡¯t want to stand and watch as his blood, sweat and tears are destroyed.¡±
¡°That year, when my father was still in charge, the Fang Group had millions of dors in its surplus fund. You were the one who depleted that money. You still have the face to mention that thepany was his blood, sweat and tears!¡± Fang Shaohua was enraged. ¡°Quit using my father¡¯s name to cover up your greed. Xinxin¡¯s intentions are clear. Since the Fang Group has be an empty shell, let it go down if it has to. There¡¯s no need to save it. Tossing money out of the window would be a better option than allowing you vermins to continue sucking her blood!¡±
¡°You!¡± Fang Ln could not keep up her act any longer. Her rage was clearly visible. ¡°What right does a criminal like you have to criticise me?¡±
¡°Criminal...¡± It turned out that he was nothing but a criminal to her.
Hisplexion turned pale and he smiled. His feelings for her had thoroughly died at this moment. ¡°Good... very good.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s heart did not ache at the sight of his sorrowful smile.
Instead, her gaze shifted onto his car. It was worth more than a hundred thousand dors. ¡°Is this your car? Mom has been rather tight on money recently. You¡¯re a filial child. Lend this car to me for a while.¡±
#
Chapter 522: Saving Fang Group
Chapter 522: Saving Fang Group
¡°You already mentioned that I¡¯m a criminal. How could I have a car?¡± Fang Shaohua responded. ¡°This belongs to Xinxin¡¯s. The car is also registered under her name.¡±
He had registered a newpany and an investment ount. This was all done under Fang Xinxin¡¯s name.
¡°It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s registered under her name. I¡¯ll just use it for a while.¡± Fang Ln extended her hand to hold the car door handle.
¡°Quit having bad ideas!¡± Fang Shaohua shoved her aside.
His gaze was ruthless as though he was watching someone who was doomed to die. ¡°I¡¯m sure you understand how much I hate you. I¡¯ve been charged with twelve years of imprisonment. It¡¯s only been three years. I still have nine years remaining. My time in the prison is long. It doesn¡¯t matter to me if this time lengthens. Besides, there¡¯s a chance that my illness won¡¯t be cured.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s goosebumps rose with the way he was watching her. ¡°You... what do you mean by that?¡±
Fang Shaohua smiled frighteningly. ¡°Mom, since you love me so much, your son doesn¡¯t mind dying with you. Alternatively, if my illness is cured and I don¡¯t have to die, I don¡¯t mind killing you and facing a longer prison term.¡±
She took in his murderous gaze and suddenly found him to be terrifying... he was dead serious.
¡°I was just making a joke. I¡¯m really busy, I have to leave now.¡± She turned around and ran away hurriedly.
Fang Shaohua watched as he escaped. The mocking expression in his gaze deepened.
At the same time, he was deeply miserable.
His mother did not care for him in the slightest.
Since the beginning, she did not ask about where he was living and if he was doing well. She did not sincerely ask about his illness. Instead, she only attempted to reach for the benefits in his palms and to take advantage of Xinxin.
He was more and more certain that she was no longer the mother that doted on him so dearly in the past...
His gazended on the blood on the floor which he had coughed out earlier.
Recently, he missed Fang Xinxin very dearly. Xinxin was already his yet she refused to leave Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
His crimes were yet to be cleared and his feelings were not reciprocated. This left him extremely exhausted.
Thus, there was no need for him to pretend to look like a patient.
As for that puddle of blood.
He had noticed early on that Fang Ln was following him. Thus, he made a small cut around his elbow and kept a bit of blood in his mouth. After coughing it out in front of Fang Ln, he sessfully convinced that horrid woman that he was ill.
...
When Fang Ln returned to the Fang home, she immediately tossed her bag onto the couch in anger.
Long Shuhai approached her and asked. ¡°Ln, did you manage to convince Fang Shaohua to coax Xinxin to help the Fang Group?¡±
¡°That criminal refused to do it! He even threatened to take me down with him now that he is seriously ill! I¡¯m angered to death!¡± Her beautiful, middle-aged features nearly twisted in anger.
She panted heavily in anger.
¡°Mom, did you manage to find any information that can be used against him?¡± Fang Manxue also rushed downstairs to ask. ¡°Fang Shaohua¡¯s health has always been good. How did he manage to fall seriously ill?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like he was pretending.¡± Fang Ln narrowed his eyes. ¡°Perhaps he was really infected in prison.¡± She then asked her. ¡°What about your scheme?¡±
¡°It¡¯s over.¡± Fang Manxue fell back weakly against the couch. ¡°Yang Fen previously went to the Yu Ting Vi to threaten Fang Xinxin and to scam a few hundred thousand dors out of her. But I didn¡¯t expect Yang Fen to be so useless. She didn¡¯t manage to get the money and was even sued by Fang Xinxin for fraud. She has been imprisoned.¡±
Fang Ln was astonished. ¡°Will Yang Fen betray us?¡±
¡°No. She¡¯s a terrible gambling addict. She owes several hundred thousand dors of debt. Hiding in jail is much more peaceful for her than being on the run.¡±
Fang Ln¡¯s heart eased out. Her gaze turned vicious as she schemed. ¡°We need to make Fang Xinxin return to the Fang home. She¡¯s the only one that can save the Fang Group!¡±
#
Chapter 523: Genius Amongst Geniuses
Chapter 523: Genius Amongst Geniuses
Long Shuhai was also troubled and asked. ¡°How can we make Fang Xinxin return here?¡±
¡°That dumb whore won¡¯t fall for any of our schemes.¡± Fang Manxue gritted her teeth in anger.
¡°She¡¯s extremely smart. She¡¯s not stupid any more.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s gaze was ruthless. ¡°Isn¡¯t she enjoying a great privilege because she¡¯s the future Madam Bai? Let¡¯s pull her off her position first.¡±
¡°I intend to do that as well.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s gaze was equally vicious as her mother¡¯s. ¡°Since my reputation ispletely ruined, I¡¯ll have her suffer with me!¡±
¡°It¡¯s easy to say this.¡± Fang Ln had a serious headache. ¡°But the Yu Ting Vi is very well guarded. Now that she¡¯s living there, it¡¯s difficult for us to even approach her. As for going to school... previously, when I failed to pull off the car ident act, my face was already thoroughly ruined. As for you...¡±
Her gazended on her daughter. ¡°With your current reputation, do you still dare go to school?
¡°At most, I¡¯ll just be scolded for being a ¡®whore¡¯.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s smile appeared more miserable than tears.
In the next moment, she became enraged. ¡°So what if I¡¯m scolded? The most upsetting thing is that being exposed alongwith Bai Chenxi makes it impossible for me to ever be ¡®Madam Bai¡¯!¡±
Her smile suddenly became very beautiful. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be upset though. Fang Xinxin will end up in a worse state. Very soon, Bai Qinghao won¡¯t want her anymore!¡±
¡°What did you do?¡± Fang Ln asked nervously. ¡°Is it safe?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry.¡± At the thought that Fang Xinxin would soon be disfigured, her upset emotions eased out.
Before that ugly trash was thoroughly disfigured, she would give her a good show to watch!
Thus, she logged into the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum and wrote a post tagging Fang Xinxin...
Fang Xinxin was currently reading through the data of thepany which she had recently opened.
Fantasy of War was a very popr game recently. Everyday, with the sales of the game equipment, membership,mercials, thepany was truly busy counting money.
At the same time, she was keeping track of the development of the new games. In a few days, herpany will release a brand new game.
Sun Jiamu sent her a message on WeChat: [My dear, have you seen the forum? Fang Manxue, that whore, she actually asked you for a battle!]
[I haven¡¯t seen it. It¡¯ll be the midterms examinations in two days. She probably ns on defeating me there?] Fang Xinxin directly replied with a voice message.
Sun Jiamu suggested: [My dear, I thought it was fake. Fang Manxue tagged you and wrote that there¡¯s an agreement between the two of you. Whoever loses will have to address each other as ¡®grandmother¡¯ in front of Bai Qinghao! Right now, Jing Hua University¡¯s students have started a forum page and are making bets on who will win. The forum is extremely hot right now. It¡¯s a pity that your grades have always been poor while Fang Manxue has always performed well. No matter how poor her reputation is, everyone believes that you are doomed to be humiliated this time around. How about you say that you¡¯re ill and cancel this bet with her.]
Fang Xinxi responded: [Don¡¯t worry.]
Sun Jiamu was very worried that her good friend would lose.
She called her up and said, ¡°Xinxin, I just read the forum post. You won¡¯t be able to cancel the bet. A lot of schoolmates are guessing if you¡¯ll pretend to be ill to run away from the challenge. To prevent you from losing... my grades are much better than yours. How about I give you tution for the next two days?¡±
¡°Thank you, dear. But there¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°My fianc¨¦, Bai Qinghao, is a genius among the geniuses. You¡¯ve been very busy these days. If I need help, I can ask Bai Qinghao to help me.¡±

Chapter 524: Exam Battle
¡°That¡¯s true. Bai Qinghao¡¯s talents are publicly acknowledged.¡± However, Sun Jiamu remained worried. ¡°But there¡¯s only two days left. Can you outperform Fang Manxue?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± Fang Xinxin wanted to say that there was no way she would lose.
This was because she already knew the questions that woulde, thanks to her memories from her past life.
However, there was still the need for some privacy between friends. In order to prevent anyone from suspecting her, she decided to keep some information to herself.
Sun Jiamu nagged her for a little while longer before ending the call.
That night, Fang Xinxin returned to the Yu Ting Vi. The moment she stepped in, she asked the maid. ¡°Has Bai Qinghao returned?¡±
¡°Young Master is in the study room,¡± the maid responded respectfully.
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she immediately headed to the second storey and entered the study room.
Bai Qinghao sat behind arge office desk dressed in a suit. His posture was upright and his hair was short. His features appeared especially serious as he held a pen to write quickly on the documents in front of him. His aura was naturally dominating and powerful.
It was as though he was an emperor from ancient times and was looking through papers that could determine people¡¯s life and death.
She stood by his side and silently took in the way he worked. He was cool and graceful, truly a very charming man.
She sighed.
No matter from which angle, he appeared as noble as a god. He was truly handsome in every way!
Bai Qinghao put his fountain pen down as he shifted his gaze onto her. ¡°Come here.¡±
She obediently did so.
He urged her to sit on hisp as a hint of concern appeared on his face. ¡°Why did you sigh?¡±
¡°I was just amazed by how handsome you are.¡± She took in his handsome features from a close distance. The more she looked at him, the more attractive she found him.
When he heard this, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. He tapped her nose. ¡°tterer.¡±
¡°I¡¯m just speaking the truth.¡±
He opened a document on hisptop in a good mood. ¡°Do you understand these?¡±
She turned to look at the document and scrolled through it. It was a summary of all of the content from her Year 2 sses. ¡°Bai Qinghao, did you organise this yourself?¡±
He nodded slightly. ¡°Previously, you set up a gamble with your sister. Your exams are in two days. I¡¯ll help you to revise.¡±
She was deeply moved.
Bai Qinghao was truly a good man. There was no one like him.
¡°My exams are in two days... there isn¡¯t enough time.¡± She intentionally put on a troubled expression. ¡°What if I lose? I¡¯ll have to call Fang Manxue ¡®Grandmother¡¯ in front of you. I¡¯ll lose face in front of everyone.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you lose. In the off chance that you don¡¯t perform well, I¡¯ll make sure the teachers give Fang Manxue a poorer grade than yours.¡±
¡°My second sister isn¡¯t stupid. She¡¯ll definitely be wary of this.¡±
¡°Easy.¡± A hint of ruthlessness shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll just have to make her disappear.¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head.
She had seen the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. Everyone was discussing her battle with Fang Manxue and nearly everyone was waiting to watch her lose.
They were waiting tough at her.
It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t bear for Fang Manxue to die. However, if she died now, everyone would easily guess that this was rted to Bai Qinghao.
She did not wish for him to ruin his reputation for her.
¡°Believe me, I¡¯ll definitely win.¡± She leaned her head against his shoulder.
Bai Qinghao did not actually believe she would win. This was because her performance ever since she was young... had always been poor.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to outperform Fang Manxue.

Chapter 525: Breathtakingly Gorgeous
Still, he nodded. ¡°En.¡±
When it came to feelings, he chose to believe that she would win.
For some reason, he was unwilling to suspect her words. Still, he knew rationally that it was better to make the necessary preparations in case she lost.
When that happened, at most, he would threaten Fang Manxue into cancelling the bet.
¡°Is there anything that you don¡¯t understand?¡± His distant and sharp gaze shifted onto theptop screen. ¡°I¡¯ll exin it to you.¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to exin about my school work?¡± She winked mischievously at him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, why don¡¯t we go to the bedroom to ¡®have a long conversation about life¡¯?¡±
Although she really wanted to watch her idol teach her...
Firstly, he was really busy. She did not wish to waste his time.
Secondly, she hoped to win over Fang Manxue through her own abilities, and not with his support.
She couldn¡¯t possibly remain under his protection forever. Once in a while, she needed to rely on herself, didn¡¯t she?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart was deeply moved. His gaze turned heated as he watched her. ¡°Fang Xinxin, do you know what you¡¯re talking about?¡±
She smiled. ¡°Of course.¡±
She then took the initiative and headed for their bedroom.
The next morning, when Fang Xinxin woke up, Bai Qinghao was already properly dressed and waiting by her bedside.
¡°Are you going to thepany?¡± she asked.
He nodded slightly as his cold gaze lingered on her. ¡°Are you going to school? I¡¯ll send you there.¡±
¡°I¡¯m skipping ss today. I¡¯ll go tomorrow.¡± If she went to school today, she would definitely be the centre of everyone¡¯s attention. They were bound to ask her how prepared she was.
It was better to hide at home in peace for a day.
Home...
It seemed like she had already begun treating Yu Ting Vi like her home. This was because Bai Qinghao was here.
She took in his handsome features.
It seemed like her feelings for him were growing by the day.
Bai Qinghao returned her loving gaze and for a moment, he almost believed that she loved him...
But, was this possible?
After all, she used to hate him so much.
Right now, she kept him in his heart and allowed him to take possession of a portion of it. Although this was not sufficient to satisfy him, he did not wish to push her too much.
This was because he believed that one day, her entire heart would be his!
Fang Xinxin was exhausted. She leaned back against the bed and quickly fell back to sleep.
Knock, knock, knock!
Someone was knocking against the door. She reached for her phone and saw that it was 9:00
in the morning. She felt slightly upset from being woken up and gloomily demanded. ¡°Who is it!¡±
¡°It¡¯s this subordinate.¡± Butler Zhao¡¯s voice rang from outside the room. ¡°Young Master instructed this subordinate to wake you up at 9:00 a.m.test. He would like you to wake up and have breakfast so that you don¡¯t harm your stomach.¡±
Bai Qinghao was so considerate of her health. The irritation she felt from being woken up instantly dissipated.
Fang Xinxin spent a few minutes washing up before she put on a dress. She then left the room without applying any medicine.
Butler Zhao was waiting outside the room. When he saw her breathtaking beauty, a hint of awe shed past his usual, stony features. ¡°Miss Fang, you...¡±
How breathtakingly gorgeous was she! Was this the right person?
Fang Xinxin nodded slightly and asked. ¡°What is it, Butler Zhao?¡±
It was only after hearing her familiar voice that Butler Zhao confirmed that this was truly the ugly Fang Xinxin, whose face had been covered in e previously.
Butler Zhao was well-experienced. He immediately returned to himself and concealed his emotions. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
He simply felt a little dazed. It was truly hard for him to believe that, after recovering, Fang Xinxin would turn out to be such a beauty!
Fang Xinxin headed downstairs to have breakfast. Afterwards, she brought an extremelyrge pair of shears to the garden to trim the bonsai there.

Chapter 526: Immediately Fighting For The Beauty
Chapter 526: Immediately Fighting For The Beauty
Doctor Shi and Bodyguard Liu Li passed by at the same time. When the two of them noticed the youngdy standing before the bonsai, they were both immediately dumbstruck.
The youngdy appeared to be around twenty years old. She carried herself with grace and had skin as soft and fair as snow. Her figure was stunningly gorgeous.
Her eyes were especially bright, beautiful and lively. It was as though she could speak with her gaze alone. Her brows were slightly curved and her ink-ck hair ended right around her waist. She had a unique, noble aura, just like that of an angel that had ascended on earth. Her pure beauty left one unwilling to taint her.
¡°She¡¯s too beautiful!¡± Shi Qian and Liu Li eximed almost at the same time.
Fang Xinxin nced at their dumbstruck expressions. She indifferently continued trimming the bonsai in front of her.
Shi Qian returned to himself and immediately approached her. He put on his signature smile and greeted her especially warmly. ¡°Hi! Beautifuldy.¡±
Fang Xinxin was toozy to deal with him and did not even bother to nce at him.
Shi Qian was not at all upset about being ignored by a world-ss beauty.
He brought his name card out and offered it to her. ¡°I¡¯m Shi Qian, CEO Bai¡¯s personal doctor here at the Yu Ting Vi. I¡¯m also a medical consultant at more than ten different famous hospitals at the city centre.¡±
After sharing his own background, normally, with his outstanding achievements, most beautiful women would treat him with respect and be willing to speak to him.
Despite not receiving any response, Shi Qian¡¯s smile remained dazzling. ¡°Beautifuldy, may I know your name? Could we be friends?¡±
Fang Xinxin shot him a look as though he was especiallyme. She then turned to a shorter bonsai and began trimming it.
¡°You are...¡± Shi Qian scanned her outfit.
Although she was wearing a conservative and simple dress, she appeared especially noble and graceful.
She definitely wasn¡¯t a servant. All the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s maids wore the same uniform.
Besides, none of Yu Ting Vi¡¯s maids dared to show him this attitude.
Shi Qian guessed patiently. ¡°Miss, are you the newly employed gardener? My family background is outstanding and I¡¯m well-educated. I¡¯m currentlycking a girlfriend. May I know if you would be willing to give me a chance?¡±
Doctors were very busy. He always preferred going straight to the point.
¡°Hey... Doctor Shi, you speak as though you¡¯re the only person who needs a girlfriend.¡± Bodyguard Liu Li had stood by the side to observe the beauty for quite some time.
The more he watched her, the more beautiful he found her to be. ¡°Beautifuldy, he is just a doctor, while I¡¯m a bodyguard! I¡¯m much stronger than him!¡±
Shi Qian was immediately upset. ¡°How are you stronger than me?¡±
Liu Li immediately lifted his chest and shot him a look of disdain. ¡°Doctor Shi, though your medical skills aren¡¯t bad, your shoulders and hands can¡¯t carry anything heavy. In summary, you¡¯re just a weak schr. I¡¯m different. I¡¯m Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai¡¯s, most dependable assistant and bodyguard. CEO Bai values me very much. It can be said that my future prospects are dazzlingly bright. Doctor Shi, when ites to fights, I can take on seven of you alone without any trouble.¡±
Shi Qian appeared enraged. ¡°Liu Li, I didn¡¯t teach you to tear down your brother¡¯s stage like this. Previously, when you were as swollen as a pig after being stung by bees, who was the one who helped you recover? I¡¯m your benefactor, do you understand?¡±
¡°What benefactor? Boss said that he covered all my medical fees. You epted the money. It¡¯s only natural that you simply carried out your job.¡±
¡°We won¡¯t talk about work. Let¡¯s speak about personal matters.¡± Shi Qian tried to appeal with his sincere emotions. ¡°It¡¯s so rare for your good friend to find a woman he likes. Can¡¯t you give in to me?¡±
Liu Li employed a more logical approach. ¡°I can give into you in all aspects but love. If you really treated me like a brother, you would know that I broke up with my girlfriend a long time ago. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to meet a stunning beauty. Even if I¡¯m foolish, I would never fucking give her to you.¡±

Chapter 527: Brain Versus Brawn (Part 1)
Chapter 527: Brain Versus Brawn (Part 1)
¡°You!¡± Shi Qian gritted his teeth. ¡°We¡¯llpete fairly and rely on our own abilities!¡±
Liu Li approved of this very much. ¡°Very well. We¡¯ll rely on our abilities!¡±
Shi Qian took a few steps toward the beautiful woman. From a closer distance, he could tell that her skin was perfectly soft and fair. It was as though she didn¡¯t have the slightest w.
She truly seemed like an art piece that was intentionally crafted in Heaven. ¡°Beautifuldy, please don¡¯t listen to Liu Li¡¯s nonsense about me being a weak schr. It would be more urate to say that I¡¯m talented, refined and elegant. Besides, education is the most important in our modern society. No one likes a man who is always involved in violence. There¡¯s nothing to be proud about being good at fighting. That Liu Li is but a gangster. So what if he can beat up seven to eight men? Compared to him, I¡¯m much better at earning money. Money is the most reliable...¡±
¡°Shi Qian, are you a fucking professional in tearing down people¡¯s stage?¡± Liu Li rushed to interrupt him. ¡°I¡¯m also an educated man. Otherwise, would I have the ability to remain by CEO Bai¡¯s side?¡±
¡°You were the one who tore down my stage first. Why can¡¯t I say a few truthful words?¡± Shi Qian was very dissatisfied.
It hadn¡¯t been easy for him all this while to find a beautiful woman he liked! There was no way he was giving her up!
¡°Hmph, with the way you¡¯re handling this, there¡¯s no way we can still be brothers!¡±
Shi Qian suddenly thought of something.
His eyes lit up as he spoke to the stunning beauty. ¡°Beautifuldy, you may not know this, but Liu Li has always prioritised his friendships over love. A while ago, CEO Bai wanted to punish him for Fang Xinxin when he told CEO Bai that, ¡®women are receable like clothes, but brothers are irreceable like limbs¡¯. With the word ¡®women are receable like clothes¡¯ alone, how could he possibly be worth relying upon?¡±
He patted his own chest and rmended himself unabashedly. ¡°Choose me. I¡¯m different. I¡¯ll definitely prioritise love over my friendships. If you marry me, I guarantee I¡¯ll treat you like an empress.¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± Liu Li was enraged. ¡°That¡¯s enough, Shi Qian. Since you brought up my old injuries, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡± He also began targeting Shi Qian. ¡°Beautiful, don¡¯t listen to him. I guarantee that I¡¯ll dote on my wife much more than him. Shi Qian isn¡¯t someone you can marry. As a doctor, he sees countless naked women everyday. Although it¡¯s part of his work, he told me that he has seen so many of them that he has grown disinterested in women. If you go out with him, you may end up sleeping alone everyday!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know that. I might be more capable than you.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s expression turned stony.
Liu Li did not respond to him. He was focused on protecting his self-image in front of the gorgeous woman. ¡°I¡¯m definitely more capable than him. Beautiful, please don¡¯t listen to him. That day, when I told CEO Bai that ¡®women are receable like clothes¡¯, I was targeting Fang Xinxin, that super ugly woman. I¡¯m sure you know that Fang Xinxin is our CEO Bai¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Her appearance is extremely frightening. Her skin is covered with e. Just one nce at her is sufficient to force you to vomit outst night¡¯s dinner.¡±
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she turned back slightly and red at him with some anger.
Her sparkling, bright eyes immediately left Liu Li awe-struck.
In the process, hepletely did not notice that she was angry. Instead, he assumed that her impression of him was improving. ¡°Of course, you¡¯re different. There¡¯s no way a goddess like you is receable. For your sake, I would be willing to even take my own life. Of course, the condition is that you have to first give me an opportunity, beautiful...¡±
Butler Zhao overheard this and immediately rushed over. ¡°Liu Li, what nonsense are you spouting!¡±
He then red at Shi Qian sternly. ¡°And you, Doctor Shi. The two of you didn¡¯t even figure out her identity before you began confessing. She is our Young Master¡¯s woman! Do you not want your lives anymore?¡±
#
Chapter 528: Brain Versus Brawn (Part 2)
Chapter 528: Brain Versus Brawn (Part 2)
Liu Li was dumbstruck. He immediately recalled the earlier matter. ¡°Previously, a woman came by the Yu Ting Vi to look for Fang Xinxin. I heard that Boss had personally carried her to the Yu Ting Vi. Could this be her?¡±
His expression immediately turned pitiful. ¡°Why does the woman I like belong to Boss? Even if you give me all the courage in the world, I wouldn¡¯t dare to have ideas about her!¡±
¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find a gorgeous woman to my liking, yet it turns out that she belongs to CEO Bai!¡± Shi Qian also grabbed his own hair in frustration. ¡°Could it be that doctors are doomed to struggle on the path of love?¡±
Butler Zhao¡¯s expression was stern as he lectured them. ¡°The two of you better begin thinking about how to hold onto your lives.¡±
Liu Li was astonished. ¡°Butler Zhao, Brother Zhao, does Boss care that much for this woman?¡±
¡°You were even willing to take your own life for her. What do you think?¡±
¡°This...¡± Liu Li nced at the beautifuldy who was slightly angered. ¡°Um... the earlier matter was but a misunderstanding. I pursued the wrong person. Please don¡¯t tell Boss. I¡¯m still young andcking in achievements. It¡¯s too much of a waste for me to die right now.¡±
¡°Same here...¡± Shi Qian grinned toothily. ¡°Beautifuldy, no amount of courage would be sufficient to convince me to hit on CEO Bai¡¯s woman. This isn¡¯t just a matter of losing my job. CEO Bai¡¯s methods... My family still requires an heir in the future.¡±
Butler Zhao wanted to speak up, however, Fang Xinxin shot him a look and indicated for him not to be a busybody.
Butler Zhao understood and immediately fell silent. He watched as the two men made fools of themselves more and more.
The more Liu Li took her in, the more gorgeous he found her to be. He immediately praised her generously. ¡°Boss¡¯s taste has finally returned to normal. I already said that with Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugly appearance, it would be a problem even if she were only Boss¡¯s maid...¡±
¡°Liu Li!¡± Butler Zhao truly could not stay silent any longer. He immediately shot him a look.
Was it really okay to insult someone right on their face that they didn¡¯t even have the ability to be a maid?
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gorgeous features became increasingly dark.
Unfortunately, Liu Li failed to consider that the stunning beauty before him could be Fang Xinxin. He also did not notice her stormy expression.
In fact, he grew even more enthused. ¡°I know it¡¯s wrong to talk bad about someone behind their back. However, us brothers have always been unhappy with Fang Xinxin. What kind of person is our boss? He is as noble as a god. It is only right that he is paired with this goddess standing before me. Boss must have been blind to be taken with Fang Xinxin previously.¡±
He then shot Zhao Cheng and Shi Qian a look. ¡°The two of you won¡¯t betray me and run off to Fang Xinxin to tell her what I said, will you?¡±
Shi Qian was more careful. ¡°Brother Liu, I feel that Boss and Fang Xinxin are quitepatible.¡±
This way, won¡¯t the gorgeousdy before him be left unattached?
He was not afraid of speaking against his conscience for the sake of his future.
Butler Zhao sighed helplessly. ¡°Doctor Shi is smarter.¡±
He directed his stony look at Liu Li as though he was doomed to remain a fool for the rest of his life. He truly wanted to gift the word ¡®stupid¡¯ to Liu Li! ¡°It seems like the three days of training that Boss assigned to you was too light. You forgot about it so quickly.¡±
¡°Hey, Old Zhao, I nearly lost my life in those three days. They were not light at all.¡± Liu Li began trembling at the thought of it.
He swallowed heavily and shot Fang Xinxin a look. ¡°Beautifuldy, you won¡¯t talk bad about me in front of Boss, will you? I¡¯ve been praising you this whole time. My personality tends to be more direct.¡±
He then nodded to himself. ¡°I always said that Boss would be enlightened one day.¡±
He took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning gaze. It was as though a spotlight was permanently directed at her. She was wlessly beautiful. ¡°I knew that Boss would eventually abandon Fang Xinxin, and that his tastes would eventually return to normal. I never expected that day toe so quickly, though.¡±

Chapter 529: Doctor Shi’s Whitewashing Attempt
Chapter 529: Doctor Shi¡¯s Whitewashing Attempt
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was dark and difficult to decipher. She had a strong urge to p Liu Li to death.
She could not be bothered to watch the two of them any longer. She turned around and stepped into the vi¡¯s living room.
Liu Li found this amazing. ¡°Wow, she¡¯s already entered this ce and is living in the vi¡¯s main building? Everyone knows that Boss previously carried a woman home in his arms, but with the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s size, no one could be certain where he was hiding her. Now that she¡¯s entered the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main building, what will happen to the ugly woman, Fang Xinxin?¡±
Butler Zhao decided to go against Fang Xinxin¡¯s orders to remind Liu Li. He patted Liu Li on the shoulder with a sigh. ¡°You better watch out.¡±
Liu Li took in Zhao Cheng¡¯s strange attitude and felt insecure. ¡°Brother Zhao, why do I feel a little apprehensive?¡±
Shi Qian quickly kept the name card that Fang Xinxin did not ept back into his wallet. ¡°Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin? Did CEO Bai chase her out of the Yu Ting Vi?¡±
Butler Zhao was not a busybody. He did not wish to implicate himself in the trouble. ¡°Cough!¡±
After clearing his throat once, he left without saying anything.
Liu Li and Shi Qian followed him into the vi¡¯s living room. The two nced around and only found the gorgeous beauty from earlier sitting on the couch.
Liu Li spoke up first. ¡°Goddess, have you seen Miss Fang around?¡±
¡°Does Fang Xinxin still stay here?¡± Shi Qian was simrly curious.
¡°I was originally sent here to protect Fang Xinxin. It¡¯s good that she was finally chased out.¡± Liu Li spoke up in the name of justice. ¡°Our poor boss was tied to such an ugly woman for years. His reputation has nearly been ruined.¡±
Shi Qian initially wanted to nod in agreement, however, his eyes were sharp and he caught the scar on the beautiful woman¡¯s palm...
Previously, Fang Xinxin had stopped Bai Qinghao from disfiguring himself and in the process, she had injured her palm. He had bandaged her wounds twice. He hade here today to check on the recovery of her wound as well.
It couldn¡¯t be so coincidental that the two people had scars in the same ce, could it?
Unless... this woman was Fang Xinxin!
The more he looked, the more he felt that they were the same person.
Their eyes were equally bright. Her lips, her figure...
Furthermore, the fact she was here right now... Bai Qinghao¡¯s feelings weren¡¯t that fickle.
He became certain that this stunning beauty was Fang Xinxin!
Shi Qian snapped out of his thoughts and was instantly covered in cold sweat from fright.
Thankfully, he only flirted with her and did not speak as viciously as Liu Li.
That man always brought up Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugliness at every turn. ¡°Brother Liu, you shouldn¡¯t say that. Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t actually all that bad. A youngdy like her worked so hard to lose weight, all for CEO Bai¡¯s sake. She ran more than six hours a day, waking up earlier and sleepingter than most people. She¡¯s actually quite amazing.¡±
Liu Li watched him strangely. ¡°Doctor Shi, that¡¯s not what you said behind her back.¡±
Shi Qian did not wish for a taste of Liu Li¡¯s special training. He was thin and bony, and could not afford to suffer like that. ¡°The things I said behind her back are all jokes. What I said earlier are my true thoughts. We are all educated people. We shouldn¡¯t judge her by her cover. Fang Xinxin has a beautiful soul. She treated me to a meal and bought me sweets. I still remember it after all this time.¡±
¡°Doctor Shi, I thought you hated her to the point where you were shouting vulgarities?¡± Liu Li began gesturing dramatically. ¡°You said that Fang Xinxin humiliated you at ¡®Imperial City¡¯, that Boss made you pay for your own bill because of Fang Xinxin, and that your face waspletely thrown away. You even said that you had to eat tens of thousands of candy all because of Fang Xinxin. Everyone helped you but it was still useless. All that sweetness still caused your throat to hurt. You even said that Fang Xinxin should watch out not to let you find any information that can be used against her. Otherwise, you would definitely force her to her death!¡±
#
Chapter 530: More Vicious Than Fang Xinxin
Chapter 530: More Vicious Than Fang Xinxin
¡°Enough, Liu Li!¡± Shi Qian rushed to cover his lips.
He reprimanded him severely. ¡°Stop talking poorly about Fang Xinxin!¡± Otherwise, there¡¯ll be more sharks waiting for you in the pool.
Fang Xinxin took in Shi Qian¡¯s expression and was certain that he had finally recognised her.
As expected, doctors were a lot more insightful than most people.
Liu Li pped his hand away. ¡°I¡¯m just happy for Boss!¡±
At this moment, Bai Qinghao stepped into the living room dressed in a suit. His steps were firm and his noble aura instantly filled the living room, forcing the temperature to drop slightly.
His sharp gazended on Liu Li. ¡°What¡¯s worth making you happy on my behalf?¡±
Liu Li immediately stood behind him politely.
He started tteringly, ¡°Boss, congrattions on forcing the ugly woman, Fang Xinxin, off the stage.¡±
Since his employer¡¯s feelings had finally changed, there was no need for him to restrain himself any longer.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes coldly. ¡°You think that Fang Xinxin is ugly?¡±
¡°Ugly to the point where she shouldn¡¯t be seen in public.¡± Liu Li did not dare lie to his employer.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. Her soft, fair skin appeared like snow and her beauty was akin to that of a goddess.¡±
Even fools would not describe her stunning beauty as ugly.
Bai Qinghao immediately understood that Liu Li did not recognise the beautiful woman before him as Fang Xinxin. He did not bother to correct his misunderstanding.
¡°By the way, Boss...¡± Liu Li hesitated.
¡°Get to the point. Don¡¯t stutter.¡± Bai Qinghao approached Fang Xinxin and sat down by her side.
Liu Li followed after him. ¡°Um, does Fang Xinxin know that you¡¯re hiding a beautiful woman in your home?¡±
He nced at Fang Xinxin. Clearly, this was the person whom others believed was being hidden away.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. His expression was cold. ¡°What is it? Do you wish to pursue justice for Fang Xinxin?¡±
If that was the case, perhaps his life was worth pardoning.
Liu Li was a person who at least knew to express his gratitude. ¡°Although I feel that Fang Xinxin is truly ugly, she¡¯s been your fianc¨¦e for such a long time. Recing her so quickly isn¡¯t very fair, is it?¡±
Fang Xinxin never expected Liu Li to speak up for her.
Bai Qinghao appeared expressionless.
However, a hint of interest had appeared in his ink-ck eyes. ¡°Tell me then, how should I make this fair?¡±
¡°You¡¯re as noble as a God and outstanding among all men. It¡¯s truly insulting to your pride if you do not rece her with a beautiful woman.¡± Liu Li spoke carefully. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already brought thedy you hid away into your home, how about you give Fang Xinxin some marypensation?¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his hand to caress Fang Xinxin¡¯s long hair. His actions were especially gentle. He then carelessly asked. ¡°How much would be suitable?¡±
¡°That would depend on the amount Miss Fang demands.¡± Liu Li then immediately added. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry. Although your feelings have changed, I¡¯m definitely still on your side. In fact, both my thumbs are up in response to your actions. The reason I¡¯m requesting somepensation on her behalf is because I find her too pitiful. She¡¯s not just an ugly woman. She¡¯s now a woman you¡¯ve abandoned.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not know if she was supposed to be angry or happy...
This Liu Li deserved to die and to live as well...
She reached out to hold Bai Qingao¡¯s hand. She intentionally fluttered hershes and softened her voice., ¡°CEO Bai, your bodyguard sure is a busy body. You¡¯re with me right now. Yet, he is pitying your fianc¨¦e.¡±
When a beautiful woman flirted, her gaze had the power of a ten thousand watt generator. Bai Qinghao enjoyed this very much. He wrapped his arm around her slender shoulders. ¡°How would you like this to be handled?¡±
Liu Li had a bad feeling. Could it be that this woman was even more vicious than Fang Xinxin?
#
Chapter 531: Finally The Truth
Chapter 531: Finally The Truth
¡°Boss, you can¡¯t punish me for this.¡± Liu Li immediately rified. ¡°This subordinate was only offering a suggestion. Please take it as a joke if you don¡¯t agree.¡±
Fang Xinxin had intentionally softened her tone earlier and he did not recognise her voice.
Shi Qian rubbed his forehead in pain. He was fearful that Liu Li would identally create some trouble and implicate him.
He wanted to escape, but he had yet toplete the task he came to do.
¡°CEO Bai, I don¡¯t care!¡± Fang Xinxin sweetly tugged on Bai Qinghao¡¯s arm and pointed at Liu Li. ¡°I don¡¯t like him! Pluck his head off for me to use as a football!¡±
Liu Li¡¯s eyes immediately widened in astonishment. A hint of rage shed past his eyes.
He did not expect the woman in front of him to be a vixen. ¡°Beautiful woman, I didn¡¯t offend you, did I?¡±
Shi Qian immediately responded in his mind. ¡®You offended her and how.¡¯
Liu Li did not take her words seriously. ¡°Boss is wise and farsighted. He won¡¯t listen to you.¡±
¡°Carry out her orders.¡± Bai Qinghao made a gesture with his hands. Two bodyguards immediately stepped in and restrained Liu Li.
Liu Li was frightened to the point where he almost wet his pants. ¡°Boss, you can¡¯t treat me like this. Previously, you wanted to end my life for the sake of the ugly Fang Xinxin. Right now, for the sake of a beautiful woman, you¡¯re once more...¡±
¡°Forget it, don¡¯t frighten him.¡± Fang Xinxin finally spoke normally. She nced at the two bodyguards. ¡°Return to your posts.¡±
The two bodyguards turned to Bai Qinghao in hesitation. After receiving his nod, they politely backed away.
Liu Li released a sigh of relief. ¡°Beautiful, I knew that you would have a good heart. I was almost frightened to death. When I angered Fang Xinxin, I had to endure three days of special training and nearly lost my life. I didn¡¯t expect you to only crack a joke with me after I offended you. As expected, you¡¯re much better than that ck-hearted Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Liu Li, some day, if you ever find yourself dead, remember to sew your lips up so that you can be reincarnated as a mute in your next life.¡± Fang Xinxin reminded him kindly.
¡°Why?¡± Liu Li struggled to understand this.
Shi Qian was terrified that he would make the matters even worse. It was clear that CEO Bai was an emperor who would sacrifice his entire country for the sake of pleasing his lover.
He approached Fang Xinxin¡¯s side and spoke to her. ¡°Miss Fang, CEO Bai instructed me to check if the wound on your palm has fully recovered.¡±
He intentionally emphasised the word, ¡®Miss Fang¡¯, so as to remind Liu Li of her identity.
Liu Li was dazed for a moment.
Both Shi Qian and him only knew of one ¡®Miss Fang¡¯. It couldn¡¯t possibly be the ugly woman he was thinking of, could it?
He turned towards the stunning beauty by Boss¡¯s side. Both her gaze and her attractive figure were especially attractive.
He tried to imagine what she would look like with ayer of medicine on her face...
Wasn¡¯t this Fang Xinxin?
Fuck!
How was this possible? How could Fang Xinxin be a stunning beauty? There was no way this was happening!
However, no matter how he took her in, especially when he noticed the scar on her palm, he realised that this was absolutely Fang Xinxin.
Liu Li instantly suffered ten thousand points of damage. He could not return to himself from the attack!
Liu Li snapped out of his daze and recalled the way he had called Fang Xinxin ugly earlier. He was immediately covered in cold sweat.
Fang Xinxin extended her left palm towards Doctor Shi Qian. The wound had recovered, leaving behind a thin and long scar.
Shi Qian was worried that CEO Bai would be jealous. He quickly put on a pair of gloves to check on her wound. He then used a stethoscope to give her a quick check-up, before concluding. ¡°CEO Bai, Miss Fang¡¯s hand has fully recovered. Her body is also healthy.¡±
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly and waved his hand.
Shi Qian began to turn away.

Chapter 532: Settle The Dues
Chapter 532: Settle The Dues
The moment he turned around, Fang Xinxin called out to him.
Her voice was clear and bright. ¡°Doctor Shi, don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave. We still have to ¡®reminisce about the past¡¯.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m very busy. Let¡¯s reminisce some other time...¡± Shi Qian dearly wished that his feet could begin flying.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold voice came from behind. ¡°Stop right there.¡±
Shi Qian was about to step out of the vi¡¯s door. Now, he could only move his leg back. His signature smile seemed to be especially bitter today. ¡°CEO Bai...¡±
The imperial decree instructed him to stop. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn¡¯t dare to run.
Liu Li red at him unhappily and whispered. ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have any loyalty whatsoever. You actually tried to run away without me.¡±
¡°Who says I was running? I¡¯m just busy.¡±
¡°What could you possibly be busy with? Didn¡¯t we agree to go drinking together tonight?¡±
¡°Quiet. Stop tearing down my stage. Are you trying to shorten my life?¡± Shi Qian recalled the way Liu Li had nearly been shot to death after offending Fang Xinxin. The three days of training he had suffered were also worse than death. It was much more frightening than being killed on the spot.
Fang Xinxin smiled dazzlingly and innocently. She made for a stunning sight. ¡°Doctor Shi, we haven¡¯t settled our bill yet. A gentleman like you won¡¯t leave his dues unpaid, right?¡±
¡°Aiyo.¡± Shi Qian took in her gorgeous smile.
Although she was beautiful, he felt his scalp prickling with pain. ¡°Miss Fang, what debts could be there between us?¡±
Fang Xinxin kindly reminded him. ¡°I bought so many candies for you that your teeth nearly dropped from the sweetness. You wanted to kill me for it, didn¡¯t you?¡±
She then leaned into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms and whined. ¡°Qinghao, I previously treated Doctor Shi to a meal out of the goodness in my heart. I even paid his bill at ¡®Imperial City¡¯. Yet, he went around telling everyone that I caused him to lose his face...¡±
Shi Qian¡¯s expression turned stiff. He red at Liu Li hatefully and whispered. ¡°This is all your fault. Look at this. I knew I wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from this. Would this have happened if you had kept your mouth shut?¡±
¡°How could I have known that this beautiful woman was Fang Xinxin, that ugly...¡± Liu Li was full of regrets. ¡°I thought that she left, and that it was harmless to say those things. Why are you ming me? If you weren¡¯t trying to snatch from me...¡±
He noticed Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern gaze and his heart immediately skipped a beat in fright.
Bai Qinghao asked coldly and heavily. ¡°Snatching what?¡±
Liu Li trembled in fear.
If Boss found out that both Shi Qian and he were pursuing Fang Xinxin, how were they supposed to hold onto their lives?
¡°Snatch... snatch...¡± Liu Li was afraid of answering truthfully.
However, he was also afraid that the consequences would be far worse if he lied.
His youthful, rather charmingplexion turned pale.
Fang Xinxin understood what Bai Qinghao was capable of doing when he was jealous. If he found out that the two idiots had tried to pursue her, they would be doomed to die.
Although Shi Qian and Liu Li always disliked her, she knew from her past life that they were both very loyal to Bai Qinghao.
For Bai Qinghao¡¯s sake, she could not allow them to really die.
Thus, Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°Liu Li and Shi Qian were fighting to tter me.¡±
She wasn¡¯t lying. Instead, she chose to look over the fact that they did so to pursue her.
Liu Li rushed to nod. ¡°Indeed, Boss.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned meaningful for a moment but thankfully, he did not pursue the matter further.
Liu Li recalled the way he had insulted Fang Xinxin earlier. He even said that she wasn¡¯t good enough to be with Boss. Now, he felt regretful to the point of wanting tomit suicide.
He guessed that he would have to suffer another three days of special training.
He wondered if he would be lucky enough to hold onto his life after enduring it once more.
Shi Qian took in Liu Li¡¯s paleplexion and patted him on the shoulderfortingly.
This was because he knew that Liu Li had offended Fang Xinxin far more and was doomed to be way more pitiful than he would be.

Chapter 533: Live Or Die
Chapter 533: Live Or Die
Liu Li understood the reason behind Shi Qian¡¯s actions. His heart was bitter to the point where it nearly transformed into a bittergourd.
¡°Doctor Shi, I treated you to a meal and bought you sweets out of good intentions. Yet, you distorted my good intentions and turned them into vicious ones. Don¡¯t you feel that you deserve to die?¡± Fang Xinxin askedfortably.
¡°I deserve to live.¡± Shi Qian knew that there was no way to escape from this misfortune.
As he took in Bai Qinghao¡¯s dark expression, he offered himself up for punishment. ¡°The death penalty can be lifted, but the penalty for living is difficult to escape. I shall punish myself by forfeiting three months of my sry.¡±
¡°Forfeiting your sry...¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re the servant of an emperor from ancient times?¡±
Shi Qian secretly peeked at Bai Qinghao¡¯s dark expression. Wasn¡¯t CEO Bai more frightening than a tyrannical emperor from ancient times? ¡°What does Miss Fang want then?¡±
¡°You should know that I won over thirteen million dors in a lottery. I don¡¯t need your money.¡± Fang Xinxin responded with a smile., ¡°You can keep your three months of sry. Instead, how about Doctor Shi taking afortable run around the Yu Ting Vi thirty times?¡±
¡°Thirtyps around the Yu Ting Vi...¡± Shi Qian¡¯s pleasant, masculine voice rose by nearly eight pitches. ¡°The Yu Ting Vi is massive. Onep is more than ten kilometres. Why don¡¯t you just end my life instead?!?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have your life. It¡¯s such a wonderful thing to have one less person who dislikes me in this world.¡± She, then, turned to the man who was seated leisurely next to her with a smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Qinghao?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with love and doting as he turned to her and nodded. ¡°You can have anything you wish for.¡±
¡°This is a misunderstanding!¡± Shi Qian immediately spoke up. ¡°Everything is a misunderstanding! How could I possibly dislike Miss Fang? The entire world knows that I, Shi Qian, love beautiful women the most. Your appearance isparable to that of a goddess. Although I wouldn¡¯t dare have ideas about you, I¡¯m most definitely fond of you in every possible way.¡±
¡°These are two separate matters. I¡¯m the future Madam Bai, yet you treated my goodwill like poison. If I don¡¯t punish you with thirtyps, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t understand who exactly I¡¯m going to marry.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he immediately wrapped his arm around Fang Xinxin¡¯s waist and brought her close to him.
He liked it when she spoke in this way. Her words indicated that she was his woman, and that he was her strongest support.
¡°Hurry up. Do you wish to die or run thirtyps?¡± Fang Xinxin demanded.
¡°Thetter.¡± Shi Qian bitterly shot Liu Li a look full of sympathy.
He guessed that this troublemaker would be in an even worse state.
Liu Li¡¯s back was covered in cold sweat. He recalled the sharks in the pool, the thousands of bees that had attacked him, and the seemingly infinite amount of snakes in that cave. He really wanted to die!
¡°Both of you can leave now.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand.
Liu Li let out a sigh of relief imperceptibly. He was about to leave when Shi Qian caught hold of him. ¡°Miss Fang, did you forget to do something?¡±
Liu Li was about to explode. He asked in rage. ¡°Shi Qian, what do you mean by this?¡±
¡°We¡¯re good brothers. If someone is about to die, we should die together.¡± Shi Qian felt that no matter what, he needed to at least have someone apanying him through the difficult thirtyps.
¡°You!¡± Liu Li red at him hatefully.
Unfortunately, Shi Qian¡¯s expression was indifferent.
Fang Xinxin blinked her big eyes innocently. ¡°I didn¡¯t forget anything.¡±
Shi Qian reminded her. ¡°Earlier, Liu Li repeatedly emphasised that you are ugly. Aren¡¯t his actions even worse than mine?¡±
¡°Earlier, he begged Bai Qinghao forpensation on my behalf. His service outweighs his sins. We¡¯re even now.¡± Fang Xinxin was generous enough in her conduct.
When Liu Li heard this, he was deeply moved. He had thought that he waspletely doomed, and did not expect Miss Fang to let him off so easily.

Chapter 534: Mid-term Examinations
Chapter 534: Mid-term Examinations
She was ready to let go of the past simply because he had said a few words to help her obtain somepensation.
This indicated that... she actually paid attention to people¡¯s merits.
He peeked at her stunning beauty. Her appearance was definitelypatible with Boss¡¯s. Furthermore, it seemed like she had a wonderful character.
He suddenly felt some admiration for his boss¡¯s insight.
She was truly an undiscovered gem. Right now, she shone bright and radiantly in a way that it couldn¡¯t be hidden by anyone or anything.
Shi Qian could not ept this. Liu Li¡¯s mouth was much more vicious than his, yet he did not suffer any consequences. On the other hand, he had thirtyps to endure on his own...
¡°Liu Li, watch Shi Qian well. As long as he is still breathing, he will only be allowed ten minutes for every meal and four hours to rest every night. All his remaining time should be spent in running.¡± Bai Qinghao borated his order.
¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Liu Li¡¯s response was especially loud and clear. He dragged Shi Qian out of the building.
The living room was finally quiet again.
Fang Xinxin leaned into Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace and asked lovingly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave for work? Why did youe back so quickly?¡±
¡°I missed you.¡± The deep longing in his gaze could not be concealed.
The few hours he had endured away from her had felt like days.
She tightened her arms around him. ¡°Bai Qinghao...¡±
He returned her embrace and pressed a doting kiss on her forehead.
The next day, it was Jing Hua University¡¯s mid-term examinations.
Initially, it should have happened much earlier. However, not every university conducted mid-term examinations. Most universities even had decided to do away with this system.
Thus, Jing Hua University had spent some time debating if they needed to do the same. Eventually, they decided to go ahead with the n of holding the mid-term examinations.
This was also why the examinations were dyed till today.
Bai Qinghao personally drove Fang Xinxin to school. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much about your results. I¡¯m here.¡±
Fang Xinxin stood next to the window and blew him a kiss. ¡°With your encouragement, I¡¯ll definitely perform well.¡±
Bai Qinghao received her kiss and his sternplexion turned suspiciously pink. ¡°I¡¯m not encouraging you.¡±
She smiled.
That was right. He was not encouraging her.
Instead, he stood in front of her and protected her from every possible harm. Even in her past life, he was loving her in his own ways.
Unfortunately, she never knew of this. Worse, she even hated him at the time.
As she took in his charming and stern features, her heart was filled with guilt.
In this life, she wanted to be an independent and capable woman even as she enjoyed his love and support.
Bai Qinghao waited for Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure to disappear before he finally drove away.
Fang Xinxin did not allow him to arrange another bodyguard to follow behind her. It made her far too eye-catching and she could not rx through the day.
Furthermore, almost everyone believed that she was ugly. Even his enemies felt that there was no need to kidnap an ugly woman to threaten him with.
Thus, she would not be his weakness until her true appearance was revealed.
As Fang Manxue was still in the midst of carrying out her scheme of tampering with her medicine, Fang Xinxin made sure toe to school with a thickyer of medicine on her face. Her true appearance could not be seen through it.
The moment she stepped into her ssroom, a group of students gathered around her.
¡°Aiyo, Fang Xinxin, you actually dared to show up today?¡± Her roommate, Wu Jiatong, began mocking her. ¡°After you lose to your second sister, you¡¯ll have to kneel down to her in front of Bai Qinghao and address her as your grandmother, won¡¯t you?¡±
Sun Jiamu approached them. ¡°Wu Jiatong, what do you mean by that? Our Xinxin won¡¯t lose!¡±
¡°Enough of that, Sun Jiamu. Even if you are on good terms with Fang Xinxin, it doesn¡¯t change the fact that she is a terrible student. Her performance is always at the very bottom of the ss. If I recall correctly, she failed miserably during thest semester. She hasn¡¯t even taken the makeup exam for it. If she messes up her midterm examination, ording to the Jing Hua University¡¯s rules, she¡¯ll lose the opportunity to take the makeup examinations.¡±

Chapter 535: Foolproof Plan
Chapter 535: Foolproof n
The person who spoke up was Liu Dan, who had feelings for Fang Manxue.
Despite the scandal between Fang Manxue and Bai Chenxi, his feelings remained unchanged for her.
For a boy with a simple family background like him, her fall from grace had given him hope for his unrequited feelings.
Perhaps, she would finally direct her gaze toward him?
Fang Manxue came to school early today. After taking her seat, she immediately became the centre of everyone¡¯s attention. She wanted them to see exactly how she nned to step on Fang Xinxin.
Liu Dan peeked at Fang Manxue but discovered that she did not even take a single nce at him. He immediately felt a hint of disappointment.
It was true that she was the youngdy of a wealthy family. Although the Fang Corporation was currently facing financial difficulties, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
¡°How do you know that our Xinxin will do poorly?¡± Sun Jiamu red at Liu Dan.
Before Liu Dan could respond, Fang Manxue spoke up. ¡°Third Sister, I really have to thank you this time.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°What did I do for a ck lotus like you to thank me?¡±
¡°Who did you just call a ck lotus?¡± Fang Manxue was enraged.
¡°You.¡± Her response was direct.
Fang Manxue¡¯s chest felt hot with anger.
However, she held onto her smile. ¡°I won¡¯t be petty with you. Besides, soon you¡¯ll be kneeling down in Bai Qinghao¡¯s presence to address me as your grandmother!¡±
¡°Tsk, you speak as if you¡¯re certain to win,¡± Fang Xinxin spoke in disdain.
¡°Hmph, right now, the entire country knows about the agreement we made. It¡¯s difficult even for Bai Qinghao to protect you.¡± Fang Manxue responded confidently. ¡°When our examination results are out and you¡¯re kneeling down before me, I¡¯ll let you know exactly why I thanked you.¡±
Unlike on other days, Fang Xinxin had already investigated this matter and discovered that there was an underground betting deal and the Fang family had borrowed arge sum of money, betting that Fang Manxue would win.
Fang Xinxin guessed that she was thanking her for if she lost, she would be helping the Fang family earn arge sum of money.
¡°I¡¯m going to win,¡± Fang Xinxin informed Fang Manxue, only to receive snorts of derision from Fang Manxue and the entire ss.
This was because from a young age, she had never once performed better than Fang Manxue.
Although previously in French ss, her performance was far beyond what Fang Manxue and Jiang Xingnan could achieve, in this mid-term examinations, they would be tested in Mandarin, English, Mathematics, French...
All these added up to nine different subjects.
As long as Fang Manxue¡¯s total score was better than hers, she would win.
Thus, no one believed that Fang Xinxin could win.
Even Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze was filled with worry.
Jiang Xingnan entered the ssroom at that time. As he passed by Fang Xinxin, he whispered. ¡°I¡¯ll try to let you copy my paperter.¡±
Fang Xinxin was astonished. She had expected Jiang Xingnan to mock her and was surprised that he actually offered to help.
Fang Manxue wasn¡¯t certain if Jiang Xingnan had feelings for the ugly Fang Xinxin but she already made preparations for it.
A teacher from another ss stepped into the ssroom and stood on the lecturer¡¯s podium. ¡°The mid-term examinations for the Year 2 students were prepared by the respective subject teachers. Your performance in this examination will determine ten percent of your overall grades. Due to the private agreement between Fang Manxue and Fang Xinxin, this examination is receiving a lot of attention from the public. Thus, for the sake of ensuring that everything is handled fairly, we will be recording the entire process. The seats will be assigned by drawing lots. After the papers are handed in, I will cover everyone¡¯s names. The teachers will also be recorded whilst they grade the papers. I guarantee that they will not be able to see your names when they grade your papers and will do it fairly. No one is allowed to raise their voice or move about while the examination is being conducted...¡±
Everyone listened seriously while Fang Manxue smirked.
#
Chapter 536: Memorable Event
Chapter 536: Memorable Event
It was impossible for Jiang Xingnan to arrange for Fang Xinxin to sit by his side now to copy his papers!
Everyone drew lots and took their seats. Fang Xinxin was extremely unlucky. She was surrounded by the worst performing students.
Almost everyone was waiting for Fang Xinxin to lose.
This was all because her abilities were truly too far from Fang Manxue¡¯s.
The examinations for nine different subjects were conducted seriously and finally ended after two days.
Fang Manxue felt that she performed very well this time. She approached Fang Xinxin. ¡°Third Sister, the results will be out in two days. I¡¯ll arrive on time for you to kneel before me.¡±
As of now, she was still on leave from school.
This was because the scandal between Bai Chenxi and her was still trending. She did not wish to see her ssmates¡¯ judgemental gaze!
Sun Jiamu red at Fang Manxue¡¯s back.
Her gaze was filled with rage. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her? She¡¯s acting as if she knows she will win.¡± She approached Fang Xinxin and asked. ¡°My dear, how do you think you performed this time?¡±
Fang Xinxin responded. ¡°Same as usual.¡±
¡°...¡± Sun Jiamu was stunned.
Her good friend¡¯s normal performance was terrible. If this examination went the same as always, wasn¡¯t she doomed?
The other students felt the same. One of the female students expressed her disagreement. ¡°Fang Xinxin, it¡¯s fine if you¡¯re trash, but why did you have to go ahead and make this agreement with Fang Manxue? It¡¯s a separate issue if you throw your own face away, but you¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e! You¡¯ll cause him to lose face as well this time!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The other students were also unhappy.
Fang Xinxin was innocent but had no way of exining the matter. She had already seen the papers in herst life and was well prepared for it. How was she supposed to lose to Fang Manxue?
She could only let her schoolmates target her for two days straight.
Two dayster, Fang Xinxin arrived at school in the morning. Normally, there were always a few students absent from the Year 2 and Year 3 sses. Today, however, the attendance was impable.
Everyone was curious to see if Fang Xinxin would really kneel before Fang Manxue...
She even had to do it in front of Bai Qinghao...
Didn¡¯t this mean that they would have an opportunity to see Bai Qinghao?
The head of teaching, Ma Yong, stepped into the ssroom with a list containing the student¡¯s performance.
He stood on the lecturer¡¯s podium and said, ¡°Lecturer Ya Lun Wilson is on leave today. Hence, I will announce the results for the Year 2, ss 3¡¯s students on his behalf.¡±
¡°Headmaster, quickly tell us. Between Fang Manxue and Fang Xinxin, who won?¡± Wu Jiatong asked in agitation.
Most of the other students were simr in anticipation of the results.
Ma Yongting knocked against the podium. ¡°Quiet! We¡¯re in ss. As teachers, we may not interfere with your private matters, but it doesn¡¯t mean that we look positively upon it. I will now announce the top three students based on the overall grades. In third ce, Liu Dan.¡±
This announcement did not cause much reaction.
¡°In second ce, Jiang Xingnan,¡± Ma Yongting continued.
¡°Wow, Brother Nan is in second ce. In that case...¡± Everyone whispered among themselves and turned to look at Fang Manxue.
¡°Fang Manxue will definitely win then. Her results are always neck to neck with Brother Nan¡¯s!¡±
Fang Manxue must be in the first ce!¡±
¡°Our country¡¯s idol¡¯s fianc¨¦e will really be kneeling down to a slut...¡±
Everyone¡¯s whispers left Fang Manxue smiling arrogantly.
The thought that Fang Xinxin would be kneeling before her with Bai Qinghao as witness, and that she would finally be able to vent all the anger she had been enduring during this period, she felt extremely pleased.
Fang Manxue sighed as though she was helpless. ¡°I even invited news reporters to our school. Third Sister, don¡¯t me your sister for letting them record you when you kneel down to meter. After all, this is a memorable event.¡±
#
Chapter 537: Fang… Xinxin
Chapter 537: Fang... Xinxin
Everyone looked outside the window and discovered that there were reporters armed with cameras guarding right outside the room.
Sun Jiamu raised her voice in anger. ¡°Fang Manxue, you¡¯re too much! Did you have to inform the reporters about your agreement with Xinxin?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin is an extremely poor student. Although her grades are terrible, she is still Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly. ¡°She is supposed to kneel to me in front of Bai Qinghao. With Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and status... if he tries to interfere and to stop her from kneeling... that is why I invited the media to act as my witness. This way, she won¡¯t be able to escape from fulfilling her agreement!¡±
If this had been in the past, she wouldn¡¯t have invited the reporters so openly. But right now...
Ever since her video with Bai Chenxi was exposed, she hadpletely severed ties with the position of Madam Bai. She was no longer bothered about doing things so openly.
As of now, her only goal was to thoroughly ruin Fang Xinxin!
¡°It¡¯s fine, Jiamu.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled at her good friend. ¡°There¡¯s no way to run away from it if I¡¯ve really lost. Let Fang Manxue do as she pleases.¡±
It was good that the reporters were here. As of now, it wasn¡¯t certain who the unlucky one was.
¡°Alright, quieten down everybody!¡± Headmaster Ma¡¯s expression was stern. ¡°Right now, I¡¯ll announce the first ce. It¡¯s Fang... cough, cough!¡±
The headmaster suddenly fell into a coughing fit and could not continue his words.
When Fang Manxue heard the surname, she immediately smiled arrogantly and shot Fang Xinxin a look of disdain.
All the students in ss also felt that the results were fixed. They all shot looks of sympathy at Fang Xinxin.
After all, Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t the only person losing face. If the future Madam Bai knelt down to someone else, the entire Bai family¡¯s face would be thrown away.
Even Jiang Xingnan could not control the urge to send Fang Xinxin a message:
[I told you not to marry into the Bai family and to be my girlfriend instead. Now that you¡¯ve thrown the Bai family¡¯s face away, you¡¯ll be chased out of the Bai family. Things will be much harder to handle then. But that¡¯s alright. After everything ends, I¡¯ll ept you.]
The examinations had concluded and everyone had returned to their original seats.
Jiang Xingnan was seated right by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side.
Fang Xinxin lowered her head to read the message and turned to look at Jiang Xingnan.
His head was lowered as though this matter waspletely unrted to him.
Wu Jiatong openly ttered Fang Manxue. ¡°Regardless of how Fang Manxue has fallen from grace, she is still one of Jing Hua University¡¯s top performing students. Competing with her is akin to asking for death. Fang Xinxin, you better kneel down properlyter.¡±
She had past conflicts with Fang Xinxin and dearly wished that thetter would die.
Fang Manxue lifted her chin. ¡°No matter what happens, I¡¯ll always have the ability to crush Fang Xinxin beneath my feet!¡±
¡°Cough... I have a bit of a flu.¡± Ma Yongting cleared his throat and raised his voice again. ¡°I¡¯ll continue. The first ce belongs to Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°What?¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s arrogant smile froze. ¡°How could that be? There¡¯s no way this could have happened!¡±
¡°Wow! It¡¯s actually Fang Xinxin!¡± The students were dumbstruck.
They turned to Fang Xinxin in disbelief and saw that she appeared indifferent. They weren¡¯t certain if she was tooposed, or if she was simrly overwhelmed by her own results.
Even Jiang Xingnan shot Fang Xinxin with a look of surprise.
¡°My sister, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Sun Jiamu gave Fang Xinxin a thumb-up.
¡°Headmaster Ma, did you read wrongly?¡± After processing her shock, Fang Manxue returned to herself and demanded loudly. ¡°I performed very well in this examination. It¡¯s impossible that I don¡¯t have a good score. Fang Xinxin is the worst performing student in the entire school. How could she achieve the first ce?¡±
#
Chapter 538: Surprise, Surprise
Chapter 538: Surprise, Surprise
Headmaster Ma responded firmly. ¡°I did not read wrongly. This is precisely what is written here. Student Fang Manxue, you do have a ranking. You are ranked fourth in the entire school this time. You did very well. Please keep up the good work.¡±
¡°Who wants to be in fourth ce? What I want is the first ce! I want to perform better than Fang Xinxin, I want her to lose!¡± Fang Manxue shrieked.
Her expression was somewhat crazy as though she had lost her mind.
The cameramen in the hallway were recording all of this. One of the reporters on the side urged his associate. ¡°Capture Fang Manxue¡¯s expression. We¡¯ll show the audience that she lost her rationality after suffering from the shock.¡±
Fang Manxue clearly heard these words. She red at them in anger. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you here to take footage of my humiliation. You¡¯re not allowed to record anymore!¡±
The reporter had not received Fang Manxue¡¯s money. She responded seriously. ¡°I was invited here to collect material for my news report. I am only recording the truth. Miss Fang Manxue, there¡¯s no need for you to be upset.¡±
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger.
She turned to Ma Yongting in defiance. ¡°Headmaster Ma, the entire school knows that Fang Xinxin is terrible at studying. How could she have gotten first ce? Could it be that even the school is trying to protect Fang Xinxin? Did you guys help her out with her grades?¡±
Although all the students had simr thoughts, this matter was unrted to them and they did not wish to lose their face with the cameras recording.
Ma Yongting¡¯s expression turned heavy.
He criticised her sternly. ¡°Student Fang Manxue, I understand that you are struggling to ept this. However, you cannot smear our school¡¯s reputation. For the examination this time, everyone¡¯s seats were at a proper distance. Moreover, the entire examination process was recorded. Even the names on the papers were covered. The teachers were also recorded while marking the papers. They fairly gave every student their grades before taking off the tape to see the student¡¯s name. Jing Hua University would never help a student to cheat. I was also surprised to see that Fang Xinxin has achieved first ce. For this matter, I even checked the surveince cameras records of the event. I saw that throughout the entire process, her eyes never left her paper. She also submitted her work the moment she was done.¡±
¡°Couldn¡¯t you guys have leaked the questions beforehand?¡± Fang Manxue demanded.
Ma Yongting reprimanded her in anger. ¡°That¡¯s even less possible. The questions were written right before the examinations and the teachers were also filmed as they did so. The moment the papers were printed, they were immediately sealed and sent to the venue. There wasn¡¯t any time to leak the questions even if we wanted to. Due to the attention we received from the public, the school took this matter very seriously. Fang Manxue, if you still have doubts, we will allow you to check the surveince cameras records.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion alternated between turning green and pale. She could not ept this result at all.
Fang Xinxin finally spoke up. ¡°Manxue, I know that you have difficulty epting this. The truth is, even before I made this agreement with you, I had been working very hard to improve my performance. I did this for the sake of bing a better student. Even though my grades were very poor in the past, that doesn¡¯t mean I cannot improve. Simrly, though your grades were very good, it doesn¡¯t mean you won¡¯t fall behind. You¡¯ve been so focused on outperforming me that your intentions turned inappropriate. You say, isn¡¯t it only right that you lost?¡±
She would never admit that she knew all the questions based on her memories from her past life.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Sun Jiamu also mocked her. ¡°Fang Manxue¡¯s thoughts are inappropriate. She hasn¡¯t only been thinking of outperforming Fang Xinxin. She even ran off to sleep with other men outside. Her life is so exciting. How could she have spent any time studying?¡±
¡°Indeed. It would be weird if a slut like her did not lose,¡± Jiang Xingnan responded.
Suddenly, all students felt that this logic actually made sense.
#
Chapter 539: New Star Student
Chapter 539: New Star Student
After all, Fang Xinxin¡¯s outstanding performance was actually already revealed when she previously outperformed Brother Nan and Fang Xinxin in French ss.
It was logical for her to win again.
¡°Fang Manxue, honestly speaking, I was seated right by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side during the examination and I made sure to watch carefully to see if she would cheat. But the answer is ¡®no¡¯. I originally wanted tough at her, but I found out that she is actually a good student...¡±
¡°It seems like the title of Jing Hua University¡¯s ¡®star student¡¯ will no longer be Fang Manxue¡¯s. Instead, it will now belong to Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, everyone knows that this examination was carried out fairly. You should ept it if you¡¯ve lost. The sight of you refusing to ept your loss is frankly too ugly!¡±
The students began to roll their eyes at Fang Manxue and expressed their disdain.
Even Headmaster Ma spoke up in a heavy voice. ¡°Fang Manxue, as responsible humans, we should always treat our opponents with respect, so that we mayfortably greet them once more in the future. You backed Fang Xinxin into a corner and boasted about your abilities to the hilt. You went too far this time.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was as pale as a sheet of paper. She red at Fang Xinxin hatefully and stood up to leave.
¡°She¡¯s leaving just like that?¡± Sun Jiamu spoke up in anger. ¡°She lost and she hasn¡¯t even knelt to Xinxin in front of Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up as well. ¡°Headmaster Ma, I would like to take a leave today.¡±
¡°Approved.¡± Ma Yongting waved his hand.
Fang Xinxin followed her out of the ssroom. As she passed by the hallway, she spoke in a casual manner. ¡°Dear reporter friends, since Manxue was the one who invited you guys here, you can¡¯t let her down.¡±
¡°That makes sense.¡± The reporters and the cameramen rushed to keep up with them.
Fang Manxue knew that things were bad. Her footsteps grew increasingly hurried.
The students in ss poked their heads out of the windows hoping to watch the continuation. This was much more interesting than their lesson.
...
In a luxury, business-use car parked by the Jing Hua University¡¯s entrance, Bai Qinghao sat on the imported leather seats with a ss of red wine on the coffee table before him.
He tasted it slowly. Even the way he held the ss was extremely graceful.
Butler Zhao stood outside the window to report. ¡°Young Master, the results for Jing Hua University¡¯s Year 2 students have been released. Miss Fang has ranked first in the entire school.¡±
When Zhao Cheng first received the results, his jaw nearly fell off in shock.
Bai Qinghao knew very well that this was Fang Xinxin¡¯s own achievement.
This was because she previously instructed him not to help or intervene. She had wanted to rely on her own abilities.
Although he had felt that she couldn¡¯t win, he had been helpless against her pleading and could only give into her.
He had nned to deal with Fang Manxue after Xinxin lost, but she had given him a surprise instead.
It turns out that his Xinxin was so outstanding. She had performed the best in her entire school year.
¡°Where¡¯s Fang Manxue?¡± Bai Qinghao felt disgusted at the mention of this woman.
However, the agreement between Xinxin and the whore needed to be carried out.
Butler Zhao pointed at Fang Manxue, who was running out of the school gates. ¡°There.¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and bodyguard Liu Li, who was waiting by the side, immediately stepped forward. He caught Fang Manxue by the wrist and dragged her back.
¡°Let go of me!¡± Fang Manxue struggled to escape but her efforts were futile.
Fang Xinxin stepped out of the school gates soon. A group of reporters and cameramen followed behind her.
Bai Qinghao previously sent people to understand the situation inside the school. He knew that these reporters were invited by Fang Manxue.
His sharp gazended on Fang Manxue. ¡°You even invited the media to humiliate Xinxin?¡±
¡°CEO Bai, I...¡± Manxue bit down on her bottom lip.
She had no way of arguing out of this.
¡°Bai Qinghao, why are you here?¡± Fang Xinxin asked.
#
Chapter 540: Kneel!
Chapter 540: Kneel!
¡°No matter who won or lost between the two of you, the agreement should be fulfilled.¡± Bai Qinghao appeared as though he did not know about the result.
The Bai family¡¯s status and power were extraordinary. If Xinxin had lost, he would not have minded carrying out some underhanded tricks. But if his own woman won, he would not allow anyone to criticise them for bullying Fang Manxue.
Some people enjoyed pretending to be speaking out in the name of justice. This was most suitable for this situation.
A reporter spoke up in excitement. ¡°CEO Bai, Fang Manxue was the one who lost.¡±
Fang Manxue looked at Bai Qinghao with a pitiful expression. ¡°CEO Bai, I was simply joking around with my third sister. Even if her grades are better than me, this was only a joke. There shouldn¡¯t be a need for me to kneel down.¡±
She had admired Bai Qinghao since she was young. Kneeling down before Fang Xinxin, the person she looked down on the most, while her idol was watching would be worse than killing her!
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. ¡°If Fang Xinxin had lost, would you have let her off?¡±
¡°I...¡± Fang Manxue wanted to lie, but was cut off by Fang Xinxin. ¡°Of course not. The agreement was made between the two of us. She has already invited reporters to capture the sight of my humiliation. How could she possibly have let me off? Fang Manxue, please fulfill the agreement.¡±
¡°The agreement was made in front of me.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was as cold as ice. ¡°Since I had agreed to act as a witness, I will not allow either of you to go back on your words.¡±
This meant that if Fang Manxue did not carry out her promise, she would be offending him.
The consequences of offending Bai Qinghao...
No one had the ability to withstand it.
Fang Manxue¡¯splexion was even worse than that of a corpse. She saw that a crowd was gathering around them. There were schoolmates and passerbys...
She bit her bottom lip and knew that there was no use convincing Bai Qinghao.
She turned to Fang Xinxin pitifully. ¡°Third Sister, let¡¯s forget about the agreement. I was wrong...¡±
The cameras were still recording the entire scene. Fang Xinxin also put on a simrly upset expression. ¡°Fang Manxue, if, for even a moment, you had thoughts about letting me off, I would have given in. But you backed me into a corner, inviting all these reporters and acting as if you were ready to crush me beneath your feet. You and Mom have cheated over a billion dors from the Sheng Shi Group. After that incident, I begged Bai Qinghao to let the both of you off. When you pretended to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, I begged him again on your behalf. Even when the both of you came up with a fake ident to im that I was unfilial, I still asked Bai Qinghao to forgive both of you... Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me thrice... I will no longer take our rtionship into ount.¡±
¡°You never once begged him on our behalf!¡± Fang Manxue criticised her mercilessly.
Her expression was fierce. ¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be in such a sorry state!¡±
Compared to her loss of control, Fang Xinxin appearedposed. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®sorry state¡¯? You¡¯re living well and are standing here unharmed. If I didn¡¯t beg him on your behalf, wouldn¡¯t you be reflecting on your deeds in prison right now?¡±
¡°Fang Manxue, you should just kneel down. ept your loss gracefully. You were the one who tagged Fang Xinxin in the school forum and asked her to wait to kneel in front of you.¡± One of the schoolmates mocked her. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve lost, you can¡¯t run away from your responsibility.¡±
¡°Indeed. Mistakes shouldn¡¯t be endured more than once. If someone like you doesn¡¯t kneel, there¡¯ll be no more right and wrong in this world!¡± One of the passers-by spoke up and everyone began expressing their agreement.
¡°Fang Manxue, hurry up and kneel! Kneel!¡± All the people surrounding them began shouting at her.
Fang Manxue watched Bai Qinghao¡¯s graceful and noble figure with dazed eyes. She then turned to the crowd who was backing her into the corner. Their looks of disdain...
She recalled the video of her and Bai Chenxi that was exposed. To think that now she had even lost publicly to Fang Xinxin.
Her rage and frustration took over her and the pressure caused her feet to weaken. She fell on her knees before Fang Xinxin.

Chapter 541: Passers-by
Chapter 541: Passers-by
Click, click, click!
The reporters and passers-by frantically began taking photos of Fang Manxue kneeling before Fang Xinxin.
One of the passers-by spoke up. ¡°Miss Fang Manxue, ording to your agreement with Fang Xinxin, you still have to address her as ¡®Grandmother¡¯!¡±
¡°Hurry up!¡± Several passers-by shouted at her once more.
Fang Manxue was thoroughly humiliated. At this stage, addressing Fang Xinxin as her grandmother wouldn¡¯t make much difference. She cried out in tears. ¡°Grandmother!¡±
The humiliation left her wishing that she could burrow into a hole and escape their eyes.
She took in the disdain and hatred in their gaze and felt ashamed to the point of wanting to die!
Who didn¡¯t know how to pretend to be a good person?
Fang Xinxin appeared to snap out of her daze as she rushed to help Fang Manxue up. ¡°I was just thinking of letting our agreement go. Aiya, Second Sister, why did you actually kneel? I really can¡¯t ept you addressing me as ¡®Grandmother¡¯. Stand up, please stand up!¡±
Fang Manxue gritted her teeth in anger. She rushed to stand up and red at Fang Xinxin. ¡°I¡¯ve already knelt and called you ¡®Grandmother¡¯. Stop acting, you hypocrite!¡±
¡°My second sister, Manxue, has always been arrogant. I had thought that, no matter what, she would never kneel. The moment she knelt down, I was really dumbstruck.¡± Fang Xinxin exined to everyone. ¡°Since she believes that I¡¯m a hypocrite, in that case, I will ept her kneel and also her addressal to me as ¡®Grandmother¡¯. After all, this is what she should be doing.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it? Only those who ept their losses gracefully are worthy of admiration.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue definitely did not expect a genius like herself to lose to the worst performing student. She miscalcted...¡± Whispers could be heard all around them.
Fang Manxue felt the urge to rush forward and p Fang Xinxin. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguards. Hence, she did not have the guts to do it.
She clenched her fists tightly and red at Fang Xinxin hatefully.
This slut was still using the facial cream which she had tampered with. Soon, she would be thoroughly disfigured!
She would return a thousand times the amount of humiliation she received today when Fang Xinxin would finally be ugly!
The blow Fang Manxue had suffered was too big. She staggered and rushed to leave the ce hastily.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s icy cold gaze did notnd on Fang Manxue even once. This was because he found her too dirty to look at.
Fang Xinxin boarded the business-use car and sat next to Bai Qinghao.
The door was closed and the car drove steadily out of the school. The crowd that had gathered finally dispersed as well.
Bai Qinghao stretched his arm out to hold Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoulder.
He nced at the few passers-by who had reacted especially strongly earlier before turning to the woman in his arms with admiration in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯ve improved. You finally know how to hire a few ¡®street actors¡¯ to create the appropriate atmosphere.¡±
¡°You noticed?¡± Fang Xinxin stuck her tongue out mischievously.
The few people who had demanded Fang Manxue to kneel down loudly earlier were hired by her.
Some words were not suitable for her to say.
After all, she was still a student. It wouldn¡¯t be good if the audience felt that she was forcing her own sister. However, there was no problem in borrowing a few ¡®passers-by¡¯ to speak up for her.
¡°I really can¡¯t hide anything from you.¡± She leaned against Bai Qinghao¡¯s firm and broad shoulders.
She tapped on her phone and quickly found that photos of the earlier incident had spread across the inte.
Fang Manxue¡¯s name was in the headlines of most media websites and even the school forum.
Thement sections were also filled with criticism against Fang Manxue.
It wasn¡¯t possible for everyone to be biased towards her. There would always be some naysayers. However... she could barely find any.
She suddenly understood. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you hired ghostwriters to ensure that the media would only write articles that would benefit me, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Qinghao caressed her soft, long hair gently. His cold, heavy voice was filled with doting. ¡°Clever.¡±
#
Chapter 542: Jealous Bai Qinghao
Chapter 542: Jealous Bai Qinghao
Fang Xinxin asked. ¡°What if I had lost?¡±
A hint of gentleness appeared in his gaze. ¡°Nheless, they would only write articles that benefit you. As for Fang Manxue, I have countless methods to make her give up on her agreement with you.¡±
¡°For example?¡±
¡°Making her ¡®disappear¡¯. The murderer would have been Bai Chenxi. What do you think of this idea?¡±
¡°It is a good idea. But since I¡¯ve won, I don¡¯t wish to get your hands dirty.¡± She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist and continued gloomily. ¡°Bai Qinghao, let me resolve my own problems by myself.¡±
After experiencing one life, she felt that she could not always depend on him. She needed to learn to stand on her own two feet.
¡°Alright.¡± He would stay behind her, or in front of her, when necessary and continue protecting her.
Right then, Fang Xinxin received a voice message from Sun Jiamu:
[My dear, when I saw Fang Manxue, that whore, having to kneel down to you despite her earlier arrogance, I truly felt great! You¡¯re amazing!]
Fang Xinxin responded with a voice message as well: [Whatever makes you happy.]
However, Bai Qinghao noticed a hint of indulgence in Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice. ¡°You seem to treat her very well?¡±
He began to feel jealous. All of her indulgence ought to only belong to him!
¡°She treats me very well too.¡±
¡°You¡¯re only allowed to treat me well!¡± His expression was stony as hemanded her tyrannically.
She lifted her brows in amazement. ¡°Bai Qinghao, are you jealous? The person who sent me a message earlier was Sun Jiamu. She¡¯s my ssmate and roommate. Most importantly, she¡¯s a girl!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± He repeated himself seriously. ¡°You should only have me in your heart. There shouldn¡¯t be space even for a woman!¡±
She did not dare to defy him openly.
Instead, she patted his firm back gently. ¡°Bai Qinghao, Sun Jiamu is a friend worth having. In my heart, you are definitely the most important person to me. However, we all need some friendships. Besides, she¡¯s the only person aside from you who treats me well.¡±
She did not dare to bring up her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, as she was afraid that he would be jealous one again.
Bai Qinghao was very satisfied that she did not bring up Fang Shaohua. He did not express his disagreement any further. This indicated that he was silently epting it.
Still, he reminded her. ¡°You should always be wary of other people¡¯s intentions. When it¡¯s inappropriate to be foolish, you have to be smarter than them. Do you understand?¡±
She nodded obediently like a young child that was being lectured. ¡°Oh.¡±
The two of them returned to the Yu Ting Vi and set fire to their main bedroom...
Inside the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Manxue threw herself into Fang Ln¡¯s arms in tears. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to kill Fang Xinxin! I¡¯m going to kill her!¡±
Fang Ln had also seen the photos of her beloved daughter kneeling down to Fang Xinxin on the inte. Her expression was filled with rage. ¡°She deserves to die!¡±
¡°Manxue, didn¡¯t you say that this would be an easy win for you?¡± Long Shuhai reproached her with some resentment. ¡°How did you end up losing to that ugly whore?¡±
¡°How would I know that she would improve so quickly? She actually scored the best in the entire school year. Uu...¡± Fang Manxue was in tears. ¡°All my face was thrown away. I can¡¯t show up in school anymore. I don¡¯t have the guts to do so!¡±
¡°How can you not attend school?¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s expression was stern. ¡°Jing Hua University is an excellent school. Most people struggle to even get a ce there!¡±
Fang Ln red at Long Shuhai before turning to Fang Manxue in heartache. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t wish to attend school. Take some time to rest at home.¡±
¡°Look at you. You¡¯vepletely spoiled her rotten...¡± Long Shuhai said with resentment. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, Manxue¡¯s temper wouldn¡¯t be this bad.¡±

Chapter 543: Living, Dead Man
Chapter 543: Living, Dead Man
Fang Ln raised her voice immediately. ¡°You¡¯re ming me? If it wasn¡¯t because you don¡¯t have the ability to protect Manxue, would she suffer such a heavy grievance? Manxue and Bai Chenxi¡¯s videos had just begun to spread and now we have this matter to deal with. Will you only be happy when we¡¯ve forced our daughter to her death?¡±
Long Shuhai finally fell silent. ¡°Do as you like then.¡±
Fang Manxue lifted her head hatefully. ¡°Mom...¡± She then nced at Long Shuhai. ¡°And you, don¡¯t be too upset with me. Even though I¡¯m in this sorry state, in a few days, Fang Xinxin will only be in an even worse state!¡±
Fang Ln was confused. ¡°You can¡¯t enter the Yu Ting Vi or head to school. It¡¯s difficult for you to even approach that slut right now. How will she end up in a worse state than you?¡±
¡°If a woman is disfigured, what more can she count on?¡± Fang Manxue had noticed that Fang Xinxin was still using her medicine.
ording to the time it would take for the medicine to take effect, Fang Xinxin¡¯s facial muscles should be rather stiff by now.
In a few days, it would rot to the point where it could never be healed.
It was as though she could already see Fang Xinxin¡¯s disfigured sight. She beganughing viciously. Her smile was somewhat crazed.
¡°My daughter, did you do something to Fang Xinxin¡¯s face again?¡± Fang Ln also began to feel excited.
¡°That¡¯s right. I have not only given her medicine that would cause her to have e, but this time, I will make it impossible for her to ever recover!¡±
¡°How did you do it?¡±
¡°Why are you asking so much!¡± Fang Manxue was unwilling to share the entire matter with her.
Fang Ln took in Fang Manxue¡¯s paleplexion with some worry. ¡°Manxue, yourplexion isn¡¯t good. Your expression also appears to be a little stiff. Do you feel unwell?¡±
Fang Manxue would never think that Fang Xinxin had pulled the same trick on her, which she tried to use and that too, by mixing it into her foundation. ¡°It¡¯s probably because I cried too much today.¡±
¡°For the time being, it seems like nothing can be done on your side.¡± Fang Ln began to scheme. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll have to go take a look at that living, dead man.¡±
...
The next morning, Fang Xinxin visited Jia Ya Hospital and found Fang Ln resting on a seat in the hallway. She appeared to be very tired.
The moment Fang Ln saw her, she approached her. ¡°Xinxin...¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Do you need something?¡±
¡°I wasn¡¯t sure where your father was transferred to after he left the hospital I arranged for him. Otherwise, I would havee much earlier to guard by his side. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find out that he was here.¡± Fang Ln then nced at the two bodyguards standing firmly in front of the hospital room. ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect the bodyguards to stop me from entering when I camest night.¡±
¡°Did she reallyest night?¡± Fang Xinxin asked.
One of the bodyguards responded promptly. ¡°She camest night at 8:00 p.m.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at her phone. ¡°It¡¯s already 9:00 in the morning. I truly didn¡¯t expect Madam Fang to have the patience to wait for thirteen hours.¡±
¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m really disappointed in you!¡± Fang Ln raised her voice. ¡°You won¡¯t even address me as ¡®Mom¡¯?¡±
¡°Are you my mom?¡± Her gaze was filled with mocking.
¡°How could I not be?¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was certain. ¡°We¡¯ve already done the DNA test!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s do it again? The results from thest time aren¡¯t right.¡± Her voice wasposed and rather than questioning, she was already certain of the facts.
Fang Ln was frightened to the point where her heart nearly skipped a beat. However, she was a well-experienced person and did not reveal any of her feelings. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. The Fang Group is currently in financial difficulties. Your father has also been hospitalised for such a long time. He still needs money. It¡¯s better to save up as much as we can.¡±
#
Chapter 544: DNA Test Again!
Chapter 544: DNA Test Again!
¡°That makes sense.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°However, my father is admitted under Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Jia Ya Hospital. Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t charging us any money. Since the Fang Group is facing financial difficulties, I¡¯lle up with the money for the DNA test.¡±
¡°You child, how can you keep relying on Bai Qinghao?¡± Fang Ln spoke as though she had good intentions. ¡°Men cannot be relied upon. Xinxin ah, these matters aren¡¯t urgent. Let me first go in and take a look at your father.¡±
Saying so, she reached out to push the hospital room door open.
But one of the bodyguards held her back. ¡°My apologies, Madam Fang. Without Miss Fang¡¯s permission, no one is allowed to enter.¡±
Fang Ln had already attempted every possible trick she could on the bodyguardsst night. They were all futile. She knew very well that the solutiony in Fang Xinxin¡¯s hands.
She instantly softened her attitude. ¡°Xinxin, considering that I¡¯ve been waiting in this hallway for the entire night, let me visit your father. We¡¯ve been husband and wife for over twenty years. No one has the right to separate us.¡±
¡°You should leave now.¡± Fang Xinxin was unmoved. ¡°Don¡¯t make memand the bodyguards to throw you out.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t try to intimidate me with power!¡± Fang Ln had stayed up the entire night and her temper was affected. ¡°Lawfully and morally, Long Yifan is my husband. You don¡¯t have the right to keep us apart!¡±
¡°Lawfully... you¡¯ll have to actually be my mother for that to count.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°As for morally...¡±
She brought out her phone and tapped on a few photos before holding it in front of Fang Ln.
Fang Ln saw that they were all photos of her and Long Shuhai sleeping together in the Fang family¡¯s bedroom. Herplexion instantly turned pale.
She trembled. ¡°You... how did you get these photos!¡±
Fang Xinxin had already suspected that the two of them were problematic in herst life.
Naturally, she would look for evidence in this life.
Thus, she bribed one of the Fang family¡¯s helpers into taking these photos for her.
¡°It¡¯s none of your business how I obtained these photos.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Madam Fang, you say, if I release these photos to the public and let everyone know that you brought my so-called Second Uncle home after my father went into aa, would you still have any morals to speak of?¡±
¡°My daughter.¡± Fang Ln¡¯s expression was flustered.
She tugged her to the side and whispered. ¡°You can¡¯t let these photos spread. Otherwise, you will also lose your position as Madam Bai. If Bai Qinghao has such an unrestrained mother-inw, it will only ruin the Bai family¡¯s reputation.¡±
¡°If you knew that this would ruin their reputation, why did you sleep with Long Shuhai?¡± Fang Xinxin recalled the way her father had treasured her mother and instantly felt enraged.
¡°I...¡± Fang Ln began crying softly. ¡°Your father went into aa. I¡¯m also a human. I have needs. Your second uncle also took very good care of me. It was a moment of foolishness that led to this...¡±
¡°It isn¡¯t that simple, is it?¡± Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes and took in her pitiful state. ¡°Why do I feel that your strong rtionship with him must have begun many years ago?¡±
¡°How is that possible?¡± Fang Ln rushed to deny this. ¡°I never once let your father down before his ident. Aiyo, I feel so dizzy!¡±
She acted as though she suddenlycked energy and was about to faint.
Fang Xinxin supported her and pretended to identally tug on her hair.
After Fang Ln stabilised herself, she quickly found an excuse and escaped from there.
Fang Xinxin did not pursue her. Instead, she lowered her head to look at the two strands of hair in her hand.
At this moment, with a ¡®ding¡¯ noise, a man with a pleasant appearance stepped out of the elevator.
He approached her and greeted. ¡°Hi! Miss Fang, I¡¯ve brought the things you wanted.¡±
#
Chapter 545: Crying?
Chapter 545: Crying?
The man had a mischievous smile and an attractive appearance. His ink ck brows were curved and his nose was sharp. Combined with his tall figure, these features gave him an especially approachable aura.
This was Chi Minzhe, from the private investigation office.
Chi Minzhe handed two items to her. The two transparent containers each contained a few strands of hair. They were individuallybelled with the names, ¡®Fang Manxue¡¯ and ¡®Long Shuhai¡¯.
¡°Alright.¡± Fang Xinxin received the containers. ¡°Thank you.¡±
She did not wish to return to the Fang home. Instead, she had instructed Chi Minzhe toe up with ways to obtain Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue¡¯s hair samples.
Combined with Fang Ln¡¯s hair, which she managed to snare earlier, she now had everything she needed from the three troublemakers in the Fang home.
¡°It¡¯s only right that I do my work after receiving your money.¡± Chi Minzhe approached the hospital room door to ask. ¡°Since I¡¯m here, may I go in to take a look at Uncle?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for that,¡± she responded.
Chi Minzhe insisted. ¡°We¡¯ve cooperated on so many things, and I¡¯ve earned a lot of money through you. It¡¯s only right that I visit my employer¡¯s father. By the way, the only reason I didn¡¯t bring any gifts is because it isn¡¯t appropriate for me to bring any food for your father right now.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled and took the initiative to open the hospital room door, inviting him in.
Chi Minzhe approached the hospital bed and took in the sight of Long Yifan breathing quietly. ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯ve been paying attention to the Fang family as instructed. To be honest, based on what I¡¯ve observed, I¡¯m certain that the woman in the Fang House isn¡¯t your birth mother. Likewise, your second uncle does not appear to resemble your father in the slightest. It seems like your mother has found a man outside to rece your father.¡±
Fang Xinxin red at him. ¡°What are you talking about!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sharing this matter with your father.¡± Chi Minzhe waved his hand. ¡°Regardless of whether he is able to hear us, I¡¯ve seen too many cruel urrences in my line of work. Personally, I would rather be a smart person who has to suffer some hurt, than a clueless fool. No matter if it¡¯s me, or the helper that you¡¯ve bribed, we¡¯ve both obtained evidence that your mother is sleeping with Long Shuhai. Your father deserves to know the truth. Who knows, he could have been schemed by this cheating couple back then as well.¡±
Following his words, a tear abruptly rolled down Long Yifan¡¯s cheek.
Fang Xinxin saw this and was startled. She called out in heartache. ¡°Dad!¡±
¡°I...¡± Chi Minzhe covered his mouth as a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s better to be a clueless fool. To think that my words caused him to cry. It seems like your father truly loves your mother very much.¡±
¡°My father must have heard you.¡± Fang Xinxin rushed to press the emergency button by Long Yifan¡¯s bedside.
Soon enough, a doctor rushed into the room. ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Doctor, quickly take a look at my father. He cried!¡± Fang Xinxin made way for the doctor.
The doctor immediately conducted a careful examination on Long Yifan. ¡°This is a good thing. The patient is showing signs of regaining consciousness.¡±
¡°When will he wake up?¡±
¡°We cannot be certain about that.¡± The doctor responded. ¡°It could be very soon, but he could also remain unconscious forever.¡±
Fang Xinxin sat down on the chair next to the bed and held her father¡¯s hand tightly to say. ¡°Dad, you have to wake up!¡±
Chi Minzhe stayed for a little while longer before leaving.
Fang Xinxin gently retrieved a few strands of Long Yifan¡¯s hair. She then removed a few strands of her own. After carefullybelling everything, she sent the five different samples for examination to Jia Ya Hospital¡¯s DNA examination centre.
There were too many poisonous snakes in the Fang home. She needed to recognise the truth about all of them carefully.

Chapter 546: Star Student
Chapter 546: Star Student
Fang Shaohua didn¡¯t have any physical resemnce to any of the Fang family members, be it when he was young or after he had grown up. Many years ago, her parents had clearly informed her that her elder brother was an adopted son who did not share any blood rtions with her.
There was no need to further examine this fact.
She hoped that the results this time would disprove the results they previously received about the other three.
Otherwise, her birth mother...
She truly would not know how to handle this matter.
However, she was also very fearful. If Fang Ln was not her birth mother, what exactly happened to her mother?
She needed to wait several days for the results to be confirmed.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was heavy as she left Jia Ya Hospital.
After returning to the Yu Ting Vi, she stood in the main bedroom¡¯s balcony to take in the sight of the well-kept flower garden.
Her gaze did not seem especially focused on anything.
Right then, Bai Qinghao embraced her from behind. He understood that she was in a poor mood and spoke up in heartache. ¡°Xinxin, you secretly obtained the Fang family¡¯s hair for a DNA test.¡±
His tone was certain.
¡°En.¡± She was not surprised that he knew.
This was because Jia Ya Hospital was one of the hospitals under the Sheng Shi Group.
¡°The process is supposed to take seven working days toplete. Should I urge them to prioritise this matter?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± She suddenly felt fearful of learning the truth.
The consequences would likely be too much to bear.
¡°It¡¯s been so many years. A few days won¡¯t make any difference.¡± She needed to use this time to consider how she would deal with the Fang family if Fang Ln truly was not her mother.
¡°Alright.¡± He pressed a kiss on her forehead lovingly and breathed in the scent of her shampoo. ¡°Regardless of the result, I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡±
She turned around and embraced him. ¡°Bai Qinghao...¡±
She loved him dearly.
Bai Qinghao sensed her tumultuous feelings and tightened his arms around her, as though he was trying to press them into one being.
She was this unhappy...
Perhaps, if Fang Shaohua¡¯s crimes were washed off, she would feel happier?
A momentter, Bai Qinghao took the opportunity while he was alone in his study to make a call. ¡°Hand Wang Liangping over to Fang Xinxin and share the results of our interrogation with her.¡±
¡°Boss, you¡¯ve finally thought things through!¡± On the other end of the call, Ya Lun was nearly moved to tears. ¡°You don¡¯t know how much I¡¯ve suffered. I¡¯m a French teacher yet I¡¯ve been taking leaves everyday in fear of attending school. I¡¯m on the brink of being fired from school. I don¡¯t even know who Fang Xinxin has employed to look for me, but they are so persistent in forcing me to hand over Wang Liangping. I had to run abroad to escape them.¡±
¡°Return to the country and settle this matter.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
...
Fang Xinxin attended school as per normal. As her performance had been adjudged as best in the entire school, she suddenly transformed into Jing Hua University¡¯s star student.
Based on Jing Hua University¡¯s rules, she was also allowed the opportunity to retake the tests which she had failedst semester.
She naturally was able to score full marks in all of these tests.
This time, no one suspected whether the marks were reliable or not. They only assumed that she kept a low profile previously.
After all, the fact that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e was also only revealed recently.
In the afternoon, when Fang Xinxin was resting in her dormitory room, her roommate, Wu Jiatong, appeared to pay careful attention to her actions.
Fang Xinxin brought out a bottle of medicine and headed to the washroom. She washed off the dried medicine to reveal her stunning appearance.
Although the medicine was beneficial for her skin, it was quite ufortable using it everyday.
This was especially so due to the attention it attracted from the people around her.

Chapter 547: Terrifying Ghost
However, considering the days that had passed since Fang Manxuest tampered with her medicine, it wasn¡¯t nearly time for her to be permanently disfigured.
That vicious woman, Fang Manxue, wanted to permanently ruin her looks. She sure had some wishful thinking!
Although she had been using the medicine all this while, she did not use the one Fang Manxue had tampered with.
She brought out the fake, rotten flesh skin which she had previously prepared and pasted it on her forehead and cheeks.
These weremonly used as acting props. As they were high quality and costly, the effects were very convincing.
Fang Xinxin then applied some cosmetics to blur the edges of the mask. Her stunning appearance transformed into a frightening, rotting face.
Afterpleting this, she intentionally covered her face and shrieked. ¡°Ah!¡±
Wu Jiatong immediately rushed into the washroom. ¡°What happened, Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°My face, why did this happen to my face?¡± Fang Xinxin removed her hands in disbelief, revealing her rotten sh.
Wu Jiatong instantly turned pale from fright. ¡°Your face is so terrifying!¡±
¡°There must be a problem with the medicine I¡¯m using. I need to visit the hospital!¡± Fang Xinxin rushed out of the dormitory while covering her face with her hands.
The moment she left, Wu Jiatong immediately brought her phone out to make a call. ¡°Manxue, your third sister is in serious trouble! I just saw that her entire face had be rotten. It looked even more frightening than the ghosts in horror movies.¡±
¡°How could this be? Isn¡¯t my third sister undergoing treatment with the medicine that she always uses? How could this have happened?¡± She sounded very concerned.
¡°It seems like there are some problems with the medicine she is using. She is on her way to the hospital.¡±
¡°Thank you for helping me pay attention to her. I¡¯ve already transferred your reward to your WeChat ount.¡± Fang Manxue ended the call.
There wasn¡¯t the slightest hint of concern for Fang Xinxin on her face.
A vicious smile appeared on her lips. The ugly whore¡¯s appearance was finally thoroughly ruined. Hahaha!
She wanted to visit the hospital to treat her face? The damage was permanent. There was nothing she could do to possibly make it better.
The next step was for everyone to take a proper look at Fang Xinxin¡¯s ugly, rotten face. She would see if a thoroughly disfigured woman could still possibly remain as the future Madam Bai!
Outside room 201, Fang Xinxin, who was supposed to have run away, remained standing right outside the door. She heard Wu Jiatong make a call to Fang Manxue. Her lips were curved into a mocking style.
It wasn¡¯t clear who exactly was disfigured yet.
Her second sister¡¯s foundation had been tampered with the same drug.
She suspected that, due to the release of Fang Manxue¡¯s and Bai Chenxi¡¯s videos, as well as the recent incident where Fang Manxue had to kneel to Fang Xinxin, her second sister rarely wore make-up recently.
This also exined why she had yet to be disfigured.
Nheless, after a few more applications, she would have a taste of her own medicine.
After leaving school, Fang Xinxin took two days of sick leave to trick Fang Manxue into believing that she was receiving treatment for her face.
Her elder brother¡¯s case could not be dyed any further. Hence, she wore a mask and visited Hei Xiao¡¯s headquarters to look for Ya Lun.
On a certain old street, Fang Xinxin approached a typical looking private house and went straight to the point. ¡°Where¡¯s Ya Lun?¡±
The middle-aged man who was guarding by the door responded. ¡°He hasn¡¯t been around recently. However, he left his WeChat contact details for you.¡±
The moment Fang Xinxin added Ya Lun¡¯s WeChat contact, a video call came in from Ya Lun.
She answered the call and took in the sight of Ya Lun¡¯s bright, blonde hair. ¡°I¡¯ve hired someone to investigate this matter and they informed me that Wang Liangping has been captured by you. You¡¯ve been fucking lying to me that the person isn¡¯t in your hands. Do you find it fun to fool your client like this?¡±
#
Chapter 548: Man Behind The Secret Organisation
Chapter 548: Man Behind The Secret Organisation
¡°Miss Fang, I really wasn¡¯t trying to fool you. This isn¡¯t my fault,¡± Ya Lun exined pitifully.
¡°Is it my fault, then?¡±
It was our Boss who refused to let him go. As his second-inmand, there was nothing I could have done. Although he felt extremely bitter about this, his boss had instructed him to shoulder this wrongdoing.
Thus, Ya Lun could only reply. ¡°We¡¯re both not in the wrong.¡±
Fang Xinxin understood that Ya Lun did not possess any reasons to keep Wang Liangping away from her.
It was likely that someone else had interfered with this matter behind the scenes.
In her previous life, she recalled overhearing Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates mentioning the Hei Xiao organisation.
Now that she thought about it, she felt it was likely that the subordinates were reporting Hei Xiao¡¯s matters to Bai Qinghao and carrying out his instructions.
Hei Xiao¡¯s members had a frightening reputation and were famous for only obeying their first-inmand. They were loyal to no other.
In other words, the leader behind Hei Xiao had to be Bai Qinghao!
He must have found out about Fang Shaohua¡¯s feelings for her despite their rtionship as adopted siblings.
He tended to be jealous easily. It was possible that he was controlling the matter to prevent Fang Shaohua¡¯s crimes from being investigated. This was because the moment Fang Shaohua was proven to be innocent, Bai Qinghao would gain another love rival.
Bai Qinghao was cold, ruthless and decisive. He rarely changed his mind when it came to the matters he had already decided on.
If she fought with him about this matter, he would only believe that she had very strong feelings for her adopted brother. The consequences would then worsen.
Currently, though her brother¡¯s case was dyed, it seemed like Bai Qinghao was still willing to let go of Wang Liangping. The result was not as bad as it could have been.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this and decided not to pursue the matter any longer. ¡°Since you¡¯ve caught him, when will you hand him over?¡±
¡°I¡¯m abroad right now. I was nning on returning today, but I¡¯m suddenly being pursued for revenge. Give me a few days. After I kill these people, I¡¯ll immediately return to the country and hand him over to you.¡± Ya Lun lifted his phone and showed her the hotel room he was in. ¡°I can hear their footsteps. They¡¯re on their way here right now!¡±
Indeed. A momentter, with a loud crash, the hotel room was kicked open. Several men dressed in ck suits and masks then rushed into the room, firing their guns at him.
Ya Lun kicked the bed forward to block the bullets and climbed out of the window. He then snuck his way into the room next door. ¡°Miss Fang, they are pursuing me. I¡¯ll have to end the call here. See you when I¡¯m back!¡±
Fang Xinxin stared at her phone in silence for several seconds.
Given that his life was at stake, she would give him some time.
She could remain patient for several more days.
She nced at the middle-aged man in the room. ¡°Your second-inmand is being pursued. Aren¡¯t you going to help him?¡±
¡°He said that he could handle this alone.¡±
Fang Xinxin shrugged carelessly and left the unassuming ¡®private home¡¯.
She walked down the street and enjoyed the cool breeze.
She had been especially busy for the past few days. Why did it seem like she had forgotten about something?
Oh yes, it was Sun Jiamu.
Based on her memories, Sun Jiamu was supposed to meet a man named Feng Dongkai recently. He would trick her into his bed and force her to have an abortion... a series of misfortune would begin right from her school life.
Sun Jiamu treated her very well. Fang Xinxin refused to allow the same misfortunes to happen to her again in this life.
She immediately sent a voice message to Sun Jiamu:
[My dear, where are you? Why have you been skipping your sses recently? You haven¡¯t contacted me much either.]
Sun Jiamu responded with a phone call. She sounded both apologetic and joyful. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m so sorry. I recently fell in love and forgot all about my dear friend. I deserve to die.¡±
#
Chapter 549: Awkward Moment!
Chapter 549: Awkward Moment!
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned heavy.
She waste. Sun Jiamu had already met Feng Dongkai and fallen in love with him.
She did not know of the proper timeline of events between the two of them. It was truly too difficult to have prevented them from meeting.
¡°My dear, have you been intimate with him?¡± Fang Xinxin went straight to the point.
¡°He did try a few times... but we¡¯ve only just gotten to know each other. I¡¯m not willing to be that intimate with him yet. ¡± Sun Jiamu responded shyly.
Fang Xinxin released a breath when she heard this. ¡°How did you meet him? What kind of person is he? To think you hid this away from me so well. I¡¯m disappointed in you as a friend.¡±
¡°I was just searching for a good opportunity to share this with you.¡± Sun Jiamu responded happily. ¡°A while ago, my father hired a new vice-president for hispany. His name is Feng Dongkai. He is a senior from our Jing Hua University. He carries himself with grace and his appearance is especially charming. I met him when I visited my father¡¯spany and to my surprise, he began pursuing me passionately from the moment we met. He even said he fell in love with me at first sight. For the past few days, he¡¯s been sending me flowers and little presents everyday. I¡¯ve never been in love and couldn¡¯t withstand his passionate pursuit. A few days ago, my brain was especially heated and I agreed to his pursuit and became his girlfriend.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°Do you like him?¡±
¡°He treats me very well and pays attention to me everyday. I¡¯m very moved by him. I suppose I do like him a little because of this. My feelings for him aren¡¯t especially strong yet. He has a very good character. His father, Elder Feng, is a powerful political figure, yet he came to work on his own. He said that his family originally intended for him to work in politics, but he had grown sick of it and decided to choose business. He ns to first gather experience in our Sun family¡¯spany before starting his ownpany in the future. I feel that he is quite hard working.¡±
Fang Xinxin really wanted to inform Sun Jiamu that Feng Dongkai was nothing but a particrly well-packaged bastard. In the future, when she married him, he would abuse her to the point where she would suffer three miscarriages. He would even have an affair and a child out of wedlock.
After fearing that Sun Jiamu would expose the Ma family¡¯s dirty secrets, they even imed that she had a mental illness and locked her up in a hospital.
However, the bastard was performing so well right now. Even if she shared the matters of the future with Sun Jiamu, she could not be certain that Sun Jiamu would believe in her.
Besides, how was she supposed to exin her own rebirth?
She thought about it and decided to use a different method to help Sun Jiamu discover Feng Dongkai¡¯s true colours.
¡°My dear, listen to me. You have to stay away from that Feng Dongkai...¡± Fang Xinxin wanted to continue when she heard a man¡¯s voice, ¡°Mumu, who are you speaking to? Is it your good friend, Xinxin? Let¡¯s invite her to my home when she¡¯s free. We¡¯ll have to treat her to a good meal.¡±
¡°It¡¯s Xinxin.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s voice sounded especially sweet. ¡°Dongkai, I¡¯m warning you.When you meet my best friend, you had better be on your best behaviour. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Feng Dongkai¡¯s voice sounded gloomy for a moment before he regained his confidence. ¡°Right now, I¡¯m not as important as Xinxin to you. However, that¡¯s alright. One day, you¡¯ll fall deeply in love with me.¡±
The two chatted for a while before Feng Dongkai addressed Fang Xinxin politely. ¡°Is this Miss Fang? I¡¯m Jiamu¡¯s boyfriend. My name is Feng Dongkai. If there are any opportunities in the future, I would love to meet you.¡±
Fang Xinxin instantly felt a little awkward. Clearly, Feng Dongkai had been by Sun Jiamu¡¯s side earlier. He must have heard her telling Sun Jiamu to stay away from him.

Chapter 550: Protect Sun Jiamu
Chapter 550: Protect Sun Jiamu
It wasn¡¯t suitable to continue with her earlier words right now.
Some matters were more appropriate when addressed with evidence. If she insisted on pursuing this matter without any proof, she would instead appear especially petty.
¡°We are but strangers. There¡¯s no need to be happy to meet me. Will you hand the phone back to Jiamu?¡± Fang Xinxin responded politely.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s voice could quickly be heard. ¡°Xinxin, it¡¯s me. I¡¯ve snatched the phone back.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke seriously. ¡°Alright, Jiamu. I¡¯m going to tell you something very important right now. Before the semester ends, you¡¯re not allowed to be intimate with him. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be friends anymore!¡±
Clearly, Sun Jiamu was currently at Feng Dongkai¡¯s ce.
The possibility of such matters when a man and a woman were alone at home was undeniable.
From what she recalled, Sun Jiamu had taken a few days off from school when it was approaching their final examination. This was likely for the sake of having an abortion.
In other words, it was likely that Jiamu would soon be taken advantage of by this Feng one.
¡°Miss Fang, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re interfering too much?¡± Feng Dongkai, who was listening by the side, grew unhappy.
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to the bastard¡¯s resistance. She continued. ¡°I, Fang Xinxin, will never go back on our words. Jiamu, if you still care about our friendship, listen to me.¡±
¡°I know you¡¯re saying this for my own good. I¡¯ll listen to you, my dear.¡± Sun Jiamu had suffered from Feng Dongkai¡¯s relentless soft tactics for the past few days. He was constantly trying to...
She was in the midst of searching for the right reason to refuse him.
Xinxin¡¯s words gave her a very suitable excuse. She warned Feng Dongkai, who was by the side. ¡°You heard her. Stop clinging onto me in the future. If I lose Xinxin, my only friend, I¡¯ll definitely break up with you!¡±
¡°Alright, alright. Mumu, don¡¯t be angry. Shall we head out for lunch?¡± Feng Dongkai gave in and made a suggestion.
Sun Jiamu chatted briefly with Fang Xinxin before ending the call.
Fang Xinxin knew that a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing like Feng Dongkai would never give up this easily.
Otherwise, would Sun Jiamu be forced into having an abortion in their previous lives?
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this and immediately sent a message to Chi Minzhe:
[Send someone to secretly protect my friend, Sun Jiamu. If her boyfriend, Feng Dongkai, attempts to initiate intimacy with her,e up with ways to stop them. Additionally, the Feng family clearly wants Feng Dongkai to pursue a career in politics. Given that he graduated with outstanding results from Jing Hua University, why didn¡¯t he do so? Investigate this. Also, dig out all the news rted to his past rtionships.]
Chi Minzhe responded immediately: [Understood.]
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. Regardless of how attractive he was, he was still a bastard. How could it be possible that he didn¡¯t have any unsightly history?
The only possibility was that the powerful elder in the Ma family was suppressing the news.
When she obtained the right evidence, she wouldn¡¯t have to speak poorly of Feng Dongkai in front of Sun Jiamu. She would directly chase him away from Sun Jiamu¡¯s side!
Fang Xinxin returned to the Yu Ting Vi and shared a sweet dinner with Bai Qinghao.
They then shared a passionate night in the main bedroom. After their intimacy, Bai Qinghao embraced her lovingly. His cold, heavy gaze was filled with love for her. ¡°Xinxin, you must have been sent directly from heaven into my arms.¡±
Fang Xinxin leaned into his arms and responded sweetly. ¡°I should be the one saying those words.¡±
A rare hint of a smile appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face. He watched her lovingly. ¡°You¡¯re really sneaking further into my heart every single day.¡±
Ding!
Fang Xinxin had received a new message.
She picked up her phone to check it.
It was a message from Sun Jiamu: [My dear, did you send someone to watch Dongkai and I?]
#
Chapter 551: Guard Sun Jiamu
Chapter 551: Guard Sun Jiamu
[That¡¯s right.] Fang Xinxin responded helplessly.
She felt a little frustrated. How was Chi Minzhe this useless? He was discovered instantly.
Two minuteter, Sun Jiamu¡¯s response came in.
[I understand that you have good intentions, but it¡¯s better not to send someone to watch us. Dongkai isn¡¯t happy about it. I also don¡¯t like being watched.]
Fang Xinxin responded with one word: [En.]
She then rubbed her forehead in pain.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Qinghao held her as he scanned the messages she had sent. ¡°Did something happen to your friend?¡±
She lifted her head to see his cold, charming appearance. She felt very moved.
After learning she had sent someone to watch Sun Jiamu, he immediately understood that something had happened to her and did not reprimand her for secretly sending men to watch them. Exactly how much did he trust her?!?
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
She did not try to conceal anything as she made a call to Chi Minzhe in front of Bai Qinghao. ¡°How on earth do you handle things? I asked you to watch them and you were discovered before the night was over.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, that Feng Dongkai isn¡¯t a simple man.¡± Chi Minzhe responded in grievance. ¡°The men I had sent aren¡¯t people who would be discovered so quickly. But the problem is that Feng Dongkai is too much of a degenerate. He tried to force himself on Sun Jiamu the moment he got in the car. My people could only look for opportunities to disrupt them. He immediately understood the situation. I didn¡¯t have any way to save them from exposure. Sun Jiamu has now returned home alone. All in all, though my people were discovered, at the very least, she did not lose her innocence tonight. However, I have the feeling that Sun Jiamu won¡¯t be able to escape Feng¡¯s palms.¡±
¡°I asked you to investigate Feng Dongkai¡¯s history. How did it go?¡±
¡°It isn¡¯t easy.¡± Chi Minzhe responded helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ve already found all of Feng Dongkai¡¯s ex-girlfriends. However, they all unanimously stated that Feng Dongkai is a good person and refused to share anything more. It¡¯s clear from their frightened expressions that this man has a problem. After graduating from Jing Hua University, Feng Dongkai once disappeared for fifteen days. I have news that he had abused his ex-girlfriend, Wen Shiming and was locked up after being used by Wen Shiming. However, she refuses to admit this matter. With Elder Feng suppressing this issue, I also wasn¡¯t able to obtain his case file.¡±
It turned out that it was not that Feng Dongkai disliked working in politics. Instead, it was because he had lost the opportunity after having a criminal record. Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°I won¡¯t trouble you for this matter anymore, then. I¡¯ll handle it myself.¡±
After ending the call, she felt that she could only ask Bai Qinghao for help.
As she deliberated over how to begin, Bai Qinghao spoke up first. ¡°I¡¯ll find Feng Dongkai¡¯s case file for you.¡±
¡°Thank you,¡± she responded sincerely.
His expression turned heavy. His tone was somewhat unhappy. ¡°Is there a need for ¡®thank yous¡¯ between us? Are you asking for death by being this polite, en?¡±
The next morning, Bai Qinghao headed to thepany.
Fang Xinxin decided to guard Sun Jiamu¡¯s side to prevent her from losing her innocence and having to deal with irreversible consequences.
She contacted Sun Jiamu on WeChat and learned that she was currently in the Sun family¡¯s vi. She headed straight there.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
Fang Xinxin pressed on the Sun family¡¯s doorbell.
There was no response. She pressed the doorbell repeatedly but still did not receive any response.
Thirty minutes ago, Sun Jiamu had clearly informed her she was at home!
Did something happen?
#
Chapter 552: What Right Do You Have?
Chapter 552: What Right Do You Have?
She immediately raised her voice. ¡°Jiamu, Jiamu? Are you at home? Open the door. If you won¡¯t open the door, I¡¯m going to start banging on it!¡±
Immediately after saying so, she kicked the vi¡¯s door harshly with a loud noise.
There was no response. So, she continued kicking the door.
Her actions remained futile and she contemted using her special powers to gain entry.
At this moment, she heard footsteps approaching. The vi door opened finally.
A man dressed in a id button up and dress pants stood at the door. His features appeared cheerful and refined. However, Fang Xinxin noticed a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
He smiled lightly. ¡°Hello, are you Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Feng Dongkai.¡± She was certain about his identity.
Fang Xinxin sized him up and found his smile fake to the point where it left her nauseous.
In her previous life, she had seen his face in a magazine right before she lost her sight.
¡°I am.¡± Feng Dongkai offered his left hand to her. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Sun Jiamu¡¯s boyfriend. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±
Fang Xinxin was not interested in shaking hands with him. She shoved him aside and immediately headed into the vi. ¡°Why are you here? You took so long to open the door. Where¡¯s Jiamu?¡±
The living room was luxuriously decorated. All the technology in the house was also especially costly. However, there wasn¡¯t anyone else besides them.
¡°Where are the Sun family¡¯s helpers? Where are Father Sun and Mother Sun?¡± She continued asking as she headed up the second floor.
Jiamu had previously mentioned that her bedroom was the first room on the second floor.
¡°Uncle Sun and Auntie Sun have left to work. The helpers took a day off.¡± Feng Dongkai quickly followed after her to exin. ¡°Jiamu is resting in the room on the second floor. She isn¡¯t feeling well. I was taking care of her earlier so it took me some time to open the door.¡±
He made it sound as though everything was appropriate.
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin paused in her steps and turned back to see that Feng Dongkai appeared calm.
Her gaze held a warning. ¡°Let me tell you, Feng one, you better don¡¯t have any inappropriate thoughts about Jiamu. If anything happens to her, I¡¯ll definitely bury you with her!¡±
¡°You...¡± Feng Dongkai¡¯s expression darkened for a moment before it eased. ¡°Miss Fang, what do you mean by that? Jiamu is my girlfriend. If this is what you mean by having inappropriate thoughts, it¡¯s only right that I have them. As for others, I would only protect Jiamu. How could I possibly harm her?¡±
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to listen to this beast in disguise prattle on. She entered the first room on the second floor and saw that Sun Jiamu wasying on the bed with her eyes closed.
There was a thin nket on her and she appeared to be asleep.
¡°Jiamu is sick. She only just fell asleep.¡± Feng Dongkai sat down by her side and whispered. ¡°Miss Fang, please speak quietly and don¡¯t wake her up.¡±
Fang Xinxin tugged aside the sheets to see that Sun Jiamu was wearing a sleeveless sleeping gown. There was a red mark on her fair elbow.
Her gaze turned cold as she red at Feng Dongkai. ¡°What happened to her elbow?¡±
There weren¡¯t any changes in Feng Dongkai¡¯s expression. ¡°Earlier, she said she was feeling dizzy in the washroom so I carried her here. I must have been too nervous and used too much force.¡±
¡°Is that so? Turn around.¡± Fang Xinxin suddenly instructed harshly.
Feng Dongkai clenched his fists tightly beneath his sleeves.
This ugly, Fang Xinxin. If she wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and if he did not fear the Bai family¡¯s power, he would never allow himself to be instructed by her!
¡°Miss Fang, do you have to look at me like I¡¯m a criminal?¡± Feng Dongkai¡¯s expression was extremely poor. ¡°What right do you have to tell me what to do?¡±
#
Chapter 553: Don’t Leave
Chapter 553: Don¡¯t Leave
He paused for a moment before adding. ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re relying on Bai Qinghao¡¯s influence to bully others?¡±
¡°This is unrted to Bai Qinghao.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°As Jiamu¡¯s friend, I have the right to protect her from danger.¡±
¡°You speak as if I would harm her. I¡¯m her boyfriend. I¡¯ll always be the first to protect her.¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed out coldly, ¡°If she ispletely fine and only asleep, why would she remain asleep despite our conversation?¡±
¡°She was very unhappy that you sent someone to watch her yesterday. She didn¡¯t sleep well so she¡¯s sleeping quite deeply right now...¡±
He wanted to continue but Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to listen to his nonsense. She grabbed the back of his cor and lifted him up. After that, she threw him out mercilessly.
Feng Dongkai did not expect her to be so strong as he fell head-first onto the ground. He cried out in pain, ¡°Ah...¡±
Fang Xinxin took this opportunity to lift Sun Jiamu¡¯s skirt.
She saw that her underwear appeared untouched and she did not seem to have any injuries. She finally set her heart at ease.
This indicated that Sun Jiamu had yet to lose her innocence.
She covered her skirt properly and gently patted her face. ¡°Jiamu, wake up!¡±
She patted her a few times but did not receive any reaction.
She immediately red at Feng Dongkai. ¡°What did you feed her?¡±
Feng Dongkai stood up from the ground in a sorry figure. His expression was filled with rage as he considered killing Fang Xinxin.
However, he quickly recalled that she was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e and did not dare to act lightly. ¡°She is just sleeping deeply. I didn¡¯t feed her anything.¡±
Fang Xinxin, this ugly trash, had ruined his good matter. If she did not appear, he would have sessfully bedded Sun Jiamu!
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin did not believe him. She continued shaking and calling Sun Jiamu. Sun Jiamu finally then opened her eyes. She appeared especially tired. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re here...¡±
The joy in her gaze could not be concealed.
She immediately sat up and lowered her head to check her own clothes. When she saw that she was still properly dressed, she immediately sighed in relief.
She held onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s hands tightly and requested. ¡°Don¡¯t leave. Stay here with me.¡±
¡°Alright, I won¡¯t leave,¡± Fang Xinxin promised.
Sun Jiamu rxed finally.
Feng Dongkai approached the bed and gently addressed Jiamu,. ¡°Mumu, you¡¯re awake. Do you feel any difort?¡±
¡°Go away!¡± Sun Jiamu had also noticed something to be amiss.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mumu?¡± Feng Dongkai appeared confused. ¡°You were fine earlier. Why are you suddenly upset at me?¡±
Sun Jiamu struggled to exin this as well.
A hint of hurt appeared in Feng Dongkai¡¯s charming expression. ¡°Just because your friend doesn¡¯t like me, your attitude towards me has changed.¡±
¡°No...¡± She felt that something wasn¡¯t right about Feng Dongkai.
Fang Xinxin carefully examined Sun Jiamu¡¯splexion before asking. ¡°My dear, do you feel especially weak and tired? You can¡¯t even raise your hand, can you?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Jiamu nodded.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned heavy. ¡°Those are the symptoms of having taken sleeping pills.¡±
¡°But I didn¡¯t take any...¡±
Feng Dongkai also rushed to say, ¡°Jiamu and I didn¡¯t share anything to eat today.¡±
Fang Xinxin continued asking Sun Jiamu. ¡°After Feng Dongkai came here, did hee into contact with anything you ate or drank?¡±
Sun Jiamu contemted for a moment before responding. ¡°I had a ss of water. At the time, he was also in the living room. Right after that, I felt especially tired and he supported me upstairs toy down. Afterwards, I was so tired that I couldn¡¯t open my eyes. The moment I woke up, I saw you.¡±

Chapter 554: Friendship That Would Last Till The End Of Time (Part 1)
Chapter 554: Friendship That Would Last Till The End Of Time (Part 1)
Fang Xinxin questioned her. ¡°Are all your helpers on leave today?¡±
¡°No.¡± Sun Jiamu frowned. ¡°You didn¡¯t see the helpers?¡±
¡°Very clearly, Feng Dongkai added sleeping pills to your water and sent the helpers away,¡± Fang Xinxin concluded.
Through the time they had spent together, Fang Xinxin had learned that Sun Jiamu was not a careless person. Since she had promised not to be intimate with Feng Dongkai, there was no way she would give him the opportunity for it to happen.
In that case, it was very likely Sun Jiamu had also be pregnant in her previous life because of Feng Dongkai¡¯s despicable approach.
¡°Feng Dongkai, you!¡± Sun Jiamu threw a pillow at him in anger.
Feng Dongkai suffered a blow from the pillow and rushed to exin. ¡°Mumu, don¡¯t listen to Fang Xinxin¡¯s nonsense. Your helpers learned that you were feeling unwell and left to purchase medicine for you. How could I possibly add sleeping pills to your water...¡±
¡°The cup is still downstairs.¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it? Everything will be clear once we check that ss of water.¡±
Feng Dongkai¡¯s handsome and cheerful appearance finally changed slightly. ¡°Even if you find something in the water, it¡¯s not rted to me!¡±
¡°So you¡¯re admitting that there are sleeping drugs in the cup?¡± Fang Xinxin pointed out.
¡°I¡¯m only talking about a hypothetical situation.¡± Feng Dongkai responded in anger. ¡°Regardless of whether or not there are problems with the water, it wasn¡¯t done by me. The Sun family has so many enemies in the business world. Perhaps it was someone else with unkind intentions.¡±
¡°Jiamu is clearly feeling unwell. Why didn¡¯t you bring her to a doctor?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Are you about to say that she appeared fine? You weren¡¯t even able to wake her up. Is this what you consider ¡®fine¡¯?¡±
¡°In any case, you¡¯re intentionally trying toe in between Jiamu and I!¡± Feng Dongkai grew thoroughly frustrated.
Fang Xinxin decided to admit it. ¡°You¡¯re absolutely correct.¡±
For the sake of protecting her life, she needed to keep this perverted and abusive man far away from Jiamu!
¡°You!¡± Feng Dongkai was nearly trembling in anger. There had never been a woman he had failed to obtain.
He was just about to seed once more when an ugly Fang Xinxin appeared out of the blue. It truly drove him to anger!
¡°Mumu, you heard her.¡± Feng Dongkai adjusted his expression and suddenly sounded especially hurt. ¡°Fang Xinxin is nning oning in between us. I¡¯ve never met her before. There¡¯s no way I could have offended her...¡±
Sun Jiamu leaned back against the bed frame. She first nced at Fang Xinxin before turning to Feng Dongkai.
She said weakly, ¡°Feng Dongkai, if Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t like you and wishes for us to break up, in that case...¡±
¡°Stop interacting with her in the future.¡± Feng Dongkai urged. ¡°She¡¯s just a friend. You can always make more. But I¡¯m your boyfriend. In the future, we will be married and we will spend a lifetime together. You can¡¯t give me up for a friend.¡±
Fang lifted her brows. ¡°Jiamu, go ahead and say how you feel.¡±
Regardless of whether or not Sun Jiamu intended on giving up their friendship for this bastard, just based on the way Sun Jiamu had treated her all this while, Fang Xinxin decided she would not allow her to be with Feng Dongkai again, or for the same tragedy to repeat itself.
Sun Jiamu was silent for a moment before she reached out to hold Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand. She spoke apologetically to Feng Dongkai. ¡°Dongkai, I¡¯m sorry. To me, Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t just a friend. She is the only person who sincerely cares about me. I believe that there are always reasons behind her actions. If I have to make a choice between the two of you, I would choose her.¡±

Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She tightened her grip around Jiamu¡¯s hand.
She would definitely cherish this friendship well!
Fang Xinxin turned away from Feng Dongkai and quickly sent a message.
Feng Dongkai appeared to have suffered a serious blow.
He smiled in disappointment. ¡°Mumu, I love you so much, yet my feelings for you cannotpare with that of your friend¡¯s...¡±
¡°Enough of that.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Feng Dongkai, you¡¯ve only known Jiamu for a short period of time. How deeply could you possibly love her? Besides, how many women have been on the receiving end of your hypocritical love? Xu Xue, Huang Qing, Yang Fengru... why don¡¯t you sum them up?¡±
¡°You...¡± Feng Dongkai did not expect this ugly woman to have almost fully pieced together his past.
His heart jumped, but he appearedposed on the surface. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. It¡¯s true that I¡¯ve been in several rtionships. However, all those women were greedy for my money and we eventually broke up due to ipatibility. If you¡¯ve found my ex-girlfriends, whatever you hear from them will only be nder born from their dissatisfaction with me.¡±
Fang Xinxinfortably responded. ¡°All your ex-girlfriends unanimously felt discontented with you and decided to nder you. Some of them are daughters from wealthy families, while others are star students from famous schools. But you¡¯re iming that they were allcking in character and are out to defame a good person like you, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Sun Jiamu appeared to understand something. ¡°It¡¯s not possible that they were all of poor character. Xinxin, is Feng Dongkai hiding something from me?¡±
Feng Dongkai rushed to speak up. ¡°Mumu, don¡¯t listen to Fang Xinxin. Everything she says is nonsense. Since she intends to try and break us up, it makes sense that she is speaking poorly about me right now!¡±
¡°Come on, Jiamu.¡± Fang Xinxin supported Sun Jiamu off the bed. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the hospital. We¡¯ll deal with Feng Dongkaiter.¡±
She nced at Sun Jiamu¡¯s clothes and said to Feng Dongkai, ¡°I¡¯m going to help Jiamu change. Leave the room.¡±
Feng Dongkai was excited for this opportunity to head downstairs and clean up the ss of water from earlier.
He immediately responded. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll be right outside the door. Call me if you need my help.¡±
He then thoughtfully shut the bedroom door for them.
Inside the room, Fang Xinxin nced at the rows of clothes in the closet. ¡°What do you want to wear?¡±
¡°Anything will do.¡± Sun Jiamu responded and lowered her voice. ¡°Xinxin, you asked Feng Dongkai to wait outside. What if he goes to clean the ss of water I drank earlier...¡±
¡°I¡¯m more worried that he won¡¯t,¡± Fang Xinxin replied mockingly and retrieved a set of casualwear for her.
Outside the door, Feng Dongkai had run downstairs while being careful to keep his footsteps light. He brought the ss kept on the dining table to the kitchen and quickly washed it with dishwashing liquid before returning it to its original spot. He then stood casually outside the bedroom as though nothing had happened.
Sun Jiamu changed into a set of casualwear and stepped out of the bedroom with Fang Xinxin¡¯s help.
Feng Dongkai pretended as though he had been guarding outside the room the whole time.
He said in a concerned voice, ¡°Mumu, since you¡¯ve changed,e here. I¡¯ll apany you to the hospital.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Sun Jiamu was a smart person. She was certain that this person nearly vited her while she was ¡®asleep¡¯.
If it hadn¡¯t been for Xinxin, perhaps she would already have lost her innocence!
At the thought of this, she found Feng Dongkai especially disgusting and lowly!
¡°Alright, alright. I won¡¯t touch you. This misunderstanding will definitely be resolved!¡± Feng Dongkai appeared to be helpless.
He was a very stubborn man. The more he could not obtain a woman, the more he wanted her!
#
Chapter 556: Fang Xinxin, The Bad One?
Chapter 556: Fang Xinxin, The Bad One?
Sun Jiamu normally appeared unassuming because she tended to dress conservatively. Her thick-framed, ck sses also concealed half of her face.
He knew very well that if Jiamu dressed up well and removed her sses, she would definitely be a stunning beauty!
He most enjoyed digging out this sort of hidden gems and discovering their beauty. It gave him a great sense of aplishment.
He had been nearly sessful with this one and refused to allow this opportunity to slip away from his hands.
The three of them visited a nearby hospital. After examining her, the doctor frowned. ¡°Miss Sun, unless you¡¯ve been struggling with insomnia for a long period of time, it isn¡¯t appropriate for you to take sleeping pills. There are harmful side effects to your health. From what I can tell, you are very healthy and have no need for these. Please cherish your body while you are young.¡±
Sun Jiamu immediately turned pale. She had really consumed sleeping pills while she was unaware!
Fang Xinxin supported the silent Sun Jiamu out of the hospital.
As they walked along the streets, Feng Dongkai rushed to catch up with them.
He tugged on Sun Jiamu¡¯s arm. ¡°Mumu, listen to me. Even if you¡¯ve consumed sleeping pills, it doesn¡¯t mean that it¡¯s rted to me...¡±
Sun Jiamu pushed his hand aside and red at him. ¡°I called my helper, Auntie Ji. She said she had wanted to send me to the hospital when she saw that I was feeling unwell, but you lied to her that you had already taken me to a doctor. You even sent her to a hospital that was two hours away to buy medicine. You say, when did you take me to a doctor? What did you n on doing to me when there was no one else at home?¡±
Feng Dongkai had already nned out his exnation.
He put on a heartbroken expression. ¡°Mumu, listen to me. The only reason I sent Auntie Ji away was because I wanted to take good care of you myself. I swear, I would never do anything to you while you¡¯re asleep. Ever since Fang Xinxin spoke poorly of me yesterday, I can clearly tell that your attitude towards me has changed.¡±
Fang Xinxin sneered from the side. ¡°In that case, it seems like I¡¯m in the wrong for pointing out your mistakes?¡±
Feng Dongkai paid no attention to Fang Xinxin, the ugly whore whose face appeared to be covered in something.
He rushed to say to Sun Jiamu. ¡°I swear, I only wanted to spend some time alone with you in those two hours.¡±
¡°Jiamu, do you believe in his vow?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her.
Sun Jiamu shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t. If it were me, I would never feed the person, whom I love the most, any medicine that would harm them while they were unaware.¡±
¡°How harmful can sleeping pills be?¡± Feng Dongkai was a little frustrated.
Sun Jiamu stared at him with wide eyes. ¡°So you¡¯re admitting that you were the person who fed me the sleeping pills!¡±
Feng Dongkai was fearless. ¡°I already said it wasn¡¯t me. You¡¯re ming me just because I wasn¡¯t by your side at the time?¡±
He then red harshly at Fang Xinxin. ¡°What about her? She was there when you woke up. There were only the three of us in that home. Couldn¡¯t it have been Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no reason for her to do such a thing!¡± Sun Jiamu raised her voice.
¡°There is!¡± Feng Dongkai responded in anger. ¡°She wants to tear us apart and is willing to use whatever means she has to wrong me! That¡¯s her reason!¡±
Fang Xinxin could not help but admire Feng Dongkai. ¡°Interesting, really interesting. How did I be the bad person here?¡±
Feng Dongkai nced at Fang Xinxin and asked weakly. ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯ve never ever offended you. Why do you insist on breaking up Jiamu and I? Don¡¯t you know? We are bothpatible in terms of family background, education, talent, and many other areas. It could be said that we¡¯re a match made in heaven.¡±
Fang Xinxin could not say openly that in her past life, she had seen how unfortunate Sun Jiamu was, to be with this beast.

Chapter 557: Jealous About What?

Initially, Sun Jiamu also wanted to understand this.
Right now however, she answered on her behalf. ¡°Because your character is bad.¡±
Feng Dongkai lifted his head to look at the boundless, azure blue sky. The weather today appeared especially cheerful.
When he turned back to Sun Jiamu once more, his eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Mumu, though I¡¯ve been in a few rtionships in the past, I¡¯ve never loved someone as deeply as I love you. I really didn¡¯t expect that, as my girlfriend, you would suspect me over a few words from your friend. Think about it yourself. You¡¯re already my girlfriend. It¡¯s only a matter of time that we would be intimate someday. No matter how much I wanted to rush this matter, there was really no need for me to feed you sleeping pills!¡±
.
He forcefully held his tears back and spoke especially miserably. ¡°Mumu, I¡¯m begging you. I beg you to trust me!¡±
He held Sun Jiamu¡¯s hands once more. ¡°I¡¯m also someone with a good family background. After all the time we¡¯ve been together, can¡¯t you tell if I was actually being sincere to you?¡±
Sun Jiamu tugged her hands free expressionlessly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to say anything more. Since Xinxin doesn¡¯t like you, I won¡¯t be with you.¡±
Feng Dongkai¡¯s handsome features held a hint of viciousness.
On the surface, he appeared hurt. ¡°Mumu, no, I won¡¯t give up! Our rtionship doesn¡¯t conflict with your friendship. Why are you giving me up for Fang Xinxin?¡±
Fang Xinxin watched as the bastard performed wlessly. She was nearly moved by him.
At the thought that this was how he had treated Sun Jiamu in their past lives, she even felt the urge to kill him!
Sun Jiamu appeared very calm. ¡°Feng Dongkai, I¡¯m not someone who wavers easily when ites to feelings. I don¡¯t love you. It¡¯s just that, no one has ever treated me well and I¡¯ve never been pursued by a boy. I had no resistance against your fervent pursuit and I only agreed to be your girlfriend because my heart softened. There isn¡¯t any foundation to our rtionship. Furthermore...¡±
She sighed. ¡°I no longer have any trust in you and that is an extremely frightening matter when ites to rtionships. We should break up.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t agree to breaking up!¡± Feng Dongkai became agitated.
The only time there could be a break up was if he had grown sick of ying with the girl!
¡°There¡¯s no meaning in clinging onto each other...¡± Sun Jiamu frowned.
At this moment, Liu Li, who was dressed in a ck suit, approached them. He handed a document envelope to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Fang, Boss instructed me to hand this to you.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin received it and tore open the envelope to look at the document with a red header.
Liu Li stood right behind her. He nced at the medicine on her face and was confused. She had clearly regained her stunning appearance. Why was she still using the medicine?
Although he was really curious, he did not ask any questions.
¡°Fang Xinxin, this is all your fault!¡± A hint of hatred shed past Feng Dongkai¡¯s eyes as he began to speak without restraint. ¡°Are you happy now that you¡¯ve ruined my rtionship with Jiamu? I think you must be jealous of Jiamu!¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Tell me about it. What exactly am I jealous of? If you want to say that you treat Jiamu well, there¡¯s no way you canpete with the way Bai Qinghao treats me. In terms of family background, both Jiamu and I are daughters from wealthy families. Even if the Fang family is currently facing financial difficulties, didn¡¯t you hear what Bai Qinghao said? Everything that belongs to him belongs to me. In terms of school performance, thisdy¡¯s results are the best in her entire school year. I¡¯m now the star student of Jing Hua University. I would like to request for Mr. Feng not to nder my good character. Why don¡¯t you exin exactly what you think I should be jealous of?¡±

Chapter 558: Removing The Proof
Chapter 558: Removing The Proof
¡°You...¡± Feng Dongkai was speechless.
It took him a few seconds to force out a short response. ¡°You¡¯re ugly!¡±
If this had been in the past, Liu Li would definitely have expressed his agreement.
However, ever since he saw Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning beauty, even when he recalled it right now, he found himself to be thoroughly charmed.
¡°Stupid. Is it worth discussing physical appearances among gentlemen?¡± Liu Li felt the need to stand up for his boss¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
The moment he spoke up, however, he recalled the way he always used to point out her appearance in the past. He immediately felt a little silly. His cheeks undoubtedly hurt from his own attack. He could almost imagine a group of crows flying above his head...
The moment Liu Li appeared, Feng Dongkai had guessed that he was Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguard.
Bai Qinghao was powerful and influential. Even if this was only one of his subordinates, it wasn¡¯t appropriate to offend him.
Thus, he only gritted his teeth in response to Liu Li¡¯s words.
Sun Jiamu, however, was very disappointed.
She raised her voice and criticised him sternly. ¡°Mr. Feng, you¡¯ve gone too far. You actually dared to say that my Xinxin is ugly. How could you judge a book by its cover? It¡¯s not as if you¡¯re especially handsome yourself. I had thought that you were a refined man. Bullshit!¡±
Feng Dongkai did not expect her to care so deeply for Fang Xinxin. He was both angered and frustrated. ¡°Mumu, I...¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart felt very warm from her good friend¡¯s protection.
She handed the file to Sun Jiamu. ¡°My dear, take a look at this yourself. I asked Bai Qinghao to help me retrieve Feng Dongkai¡¯s case file. Previously, one of his ex-girlfriend sued him for abusing her and ruining her chances at conception. At the time, Feng Dongkai had intended to enter politics after his graduation. It isn¡¯t that he doesn¡¯t have any interests in politics, but that he has a criminal record and has no choice but to work in business. He even dared to openly lie that he wasn¡¯t interested in politics.¡±
Sun Jiamu received the file and quickly read through the documents inside. She then red at Feng Dongkai. ¡°You actually have serious, abusive tendencies!¡±
Feng Dongkai¡¯splexion was especially pale and poor. ¡°Mumu, listen to me. That was a mistake Imitted in my youth. The reason I harmed Wen Shiming was because she cheated on me and I became too angry...¡±
¡°It is clearly mentioned here...¡± Sun Jiamu pointed out. ¡°You abused her on many, separate asions! Youmitted a crime!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already turned over a new leaf...¡±
Fang Xinxin reminded her. ¡°Jiamu, the file also contains documentation of all of Feng Dongkai¡¯s ex-girlfriends¡¯ past injuries and hospital records. All of them were threatened by the Feng family to the point where they were too frightened to speak about this. However, it¡¯s undeniable that they visited the doctor for their injuries.¡±
¡°How can you prove that I was the one who injured them?¡± Feng Dongkai trembled in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t nder me!¡±
¡°All of them were born in good families and were injured in the period that they were with you. If you weren¡¯t the person who hurt them, could it be that they all inflicted injuries on themselves? Besides, several of them have already admitted that you¡¯re an abusive pervert. Do you want me to bring them out for you to hear their statements? Your Feng family may be powerful, but that doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t conceal everything forever.¡±
Feng Dongkai¡¯splexion became especially poor. He saw that a crowd was gathering around them and knew that it would be disadvantageous to himself if he continued causing amotion.
He wanted to argue his way out of this but knew that with Bai Qinghao¡¯s interference, there was no way he could win.
He lost his courage and immediately wanted to escape.
But Liu Li held his arm firmly. ¡°This matter isn¡¯t settled yet. Mr. Feng, there¡¯s no need to rush to leave.¡±
Feng Dongkai¡¯splexion was nearly turning green. ¡°I have urgent matters to deal with.¡±
¡°A few minutes won¡¯t make much difference.¡±
Liu Li brought his phone out and tapped on a video before handing it over to Sun Jiamu. ¡°Miss Sun, please take a look at this.¡±
In the video, Feng Dongkai rushed down the Sun family¡¯s vi stairs. He then picked up the cup and washed it hurriedly, before returning to the second floor as though nothing had happened.
#
Chapter 559: Send Him To Jail
Chapter 559: Send Him To Jail
Fang Xinxin said apologetically, ¡°Jaimu, previously at your home, I messaged Liu Li to secretly take this video. After recording this, he immediately went to retrieve Feng Dongkai¡¯s case file for me.¡±
Sun Jiamu red at Feng Dongkai harshly. ¡°What more do you have to say? If you didn¡¯t spike my drink with sleeping pills, why did you run off to wash the cup?¡±
¡°I...¡± Feng Dongkai could not argue against this.
Sun Jiamu delivered a loud and harsh p on Feng Dongkai¡¯s face. ¡°Initially, I was only suspicious of you but I now know the truth well. You¡¯re a pervert with serious abusive tendencies. It¡¯s only been days since we got together yet you spiked my water with sleeping pills and tried to hurt me. You¡¯re practically inhumane!¡±
A clear, red handprint was left on Feng Dongkai¡¯s face. Ever since he was young, he was doted on and deeply cherished. No one had ever dared to hurt him!
Sun Jiamu was but another cheap woman he had almost yed with.
For a moment, he could not conceal his vicious and ruthless gaze as he red at Sun Jiamu. His eyes were eerie to the point where it seemed like he would swallow her alive.
If it hadn¡¯t been for Bai Qinghao¡¯s bodyguard, even if they were still on the streets, he would have beaten this woman to death!
Sun Jiamu was frightened by his vicious re.
She suddenly felt that the person before her was not the refined and capable senior she knew. Instead, it was a beast concealed in human flesh!
The fear overwhelmed her. If it hadn¡¯t been for Fang Xinxin, how serious would the consequences of being with him be...
Fang Xinxin did not wish to waste any more time on Feng Dongkai. She directly instructed Liu Li. ¡°Feng Dongkai spiked Sun Jiamu¡¯s drink with sleeping pills and attempted to rape her. There is already sufficient evidence for this. Send him straight to jail.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± Liu Li directly dragged Feng Dongkai towards a car parked nearby.
Feng Dongkai¡¯s wrists were pressed behind his back. He red at Fang Xinxin harshly and shouted. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t be so pleased with yourself. There are consequences to offending our Feng family. I definitely won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Fang Xinxin saw that a crowd was gathering among them and did not argue with him. ¡°Is that so? Those whomit crimes will always be punished for their mistakes.¡±
One of the passers-by recognised Feng Dongkai. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the Feng family¡¯s young master, Feng Dongkai? He has abusive tendencies?¡±
¡°I was paying attention to their argument for quite some time. He spiked his girlfriend¡¯s drink with sleeping pills and tried to force himself on her...¡±
¡°That¡¯s a serious matter. We have to share this on Weibo.¡± Another passer-by brought his phone out.
Feng Dongkai¡¯s reputation immediately turned sour across the inte.
A luxury Bugatti Veyron was parked by the roadside. Tong Yu was in the driver¡¯s seat.
Fang Xinxin supported Sun Jiamu in the car. Sun Jiamu¡¯splexion was especially pale. ¡°Take us to the Sun family¡¯s vi.¡± The most important thing right now was to send Sun Jiamu home.
¡°Understood.¡± Tong Yu nodded.
...
At the Sun family¡¯s vi, Fang Xinxin supported Sun Jiamu through the entrance and was immediately greeted by Sun Zhiming.
He appeared especially flustered. ¡°Mumu, are you alright? I came home only to find out from the helpers that Feng Dongkai had sent them away. This matter is too strange.¡±
He then greeted Fang Xinxin politely. ¡°Xinxin is here too.¡±
Sun Zhiming was Sun Jiamu¡¯s father. Fang Xinxin previously came to know of Mr. Abott through him and sessfully purchased the distribution rights for Fantasy of War.
Thus, Father Sun was familiar with her.
¡°Dad, I was nearly in a serious ident.¡± Sun Jiamu was on the verge of tears.

Chapter 560: Sun Jiamu’s Dream (Part 1)
Chapter 560: Sun Jiamu¡¯s Dream (Part 1)
¡°What happened? Tell me, I¡¯ll take care of this for you!¡± Sun Zhiming asked urgently.
Sun Jiamu sat down on the couch as the staff poured two cups of tea for her and Fang Xinxin.
She told her father about Feng Dongkai¡¯s past, his earlier actions as well as Fang Xinxin¡¯s help.
Sun Zhiming pped his own head and expressed regret. ¡°Mumu, initially, you were reluctant to ept Feng Dongkai¡¯s pursuit. I was the one who felt that he was a talented man. I influenced your decision. My daughter, I was in the wrong. I misjudged!¡±
¡°Dad, this isn¡¯t your fault.¡± Sun Jiamu shook her head. ¡°You only persuaded me to ept his pursuit. At the end of the day, I was the one who made the decision. This isn¡¯t rted to you.¡±
¡°Thank god you¡¯re fine.¡± Sun Zhiming turned to Fang Xinxin in gratitude. ¡°Xinxin, thank you so much. If it wasn¡¯t for you, my Mumu would be in serious trouble right now.¡±
Fang Xinxin responded with a smile. ¡°Jiamu and I are good friends. Since I knew of his past, it only makes sense that I stopped her from being with that bastard.¡±
Sun Zhiming was deeply moved. ¡°In the future, if there is anything our Sun family can do for you, Xinxin, you must ask without hesitation. Uncle will definitely help you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± Fang Xinxin did not try to refuse him further.
After all, there was nothing wrong about having extra support.
¡°Are you... busy?¡± Sun Zhiming nced at his daughter¡¯s poorplexion in worry.
He said to Xinxin, ¡°You are our Mumu¡¯s only friend. She suffered a serious fright...¡±
¡°Uncle, I understand what you mean. There¡¯s no need to ask. Of course I¡¯ll stay to apany her.¡±
¡°Thank you so much.¡± Sun Zhiming sighed in relief.
Fang Xinxin had a simple meal with Sun Jiamu before they headed up the second floor to rest.
Sun Jiamuid down on the bed. As the effects of the sleeping pills had yet to fully pass, she still felt very weak. ¡°My dear, do you want to sleep a while with me?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. She tugged the sheets over Sun Jiamu properly. ¡°Sleep. I¡¯ll guard by your side.¡±
Ding!
Fang Xinxin lowered her head to see that she had received a message from Bai Qinghao. He was asking when she would return to the Yu Ting Vi.
Sun Jiamu easily guessed this. ¡°Is your fianc¨¦ looking for you? Go ahead and leave if you¡¯re busy.¡±
Fang Xinxin responded to his message before saying. ¡°I¡¯ve already informed Bai Qinghao that I won¡¯t return tonight. I¡¯ll be with you.¡±
¡°En.¡± Jiamu was deeply moved.
She did not wish to refuse her. Since young, she tended to be alone and did not have many friends. Thus, she wanted to enjoy this friendship a little.
Sun Jiamu was extremely drowsy and quickly fell asleep. She had a terrifying dream. In her dream, Feng Dongkai drugged her with sleeping pills and took her innocence while she was asleep.
She was enraged and lost control. She wanted to sue him but he imed that he was only taking care of her when she was ill, that she had given him the wrong signal while she was ill and caused him to make a mistake in a moment of passion.
He knelt down and begged for forgiveness, making various assurances that he would love her forever. She did not consider that he had drugged her and assumed that it was only a mistake. Thus, she could not bear to actually sue him.
Unfortunately, she was pregnant after this one incident. She could not bear to abort her child.
However, Elder Feng said that she was not even twenty years old and was still a student. He imed that the Feng family could not afford to be humiliated by a daughter-inw who was pregnant before marriage and forced her to abort her child.
She ignored Feng Dongkai out of anger, but he frequently sent her texts and wrote her messages. Every so often, he would also look for her in school.
For two years, his feelings for her did not waver.
Thus, she finally forgave him and married him after her graduation.
#
Chapter 561: Sun Jiamu’s Dream (Part 1)
Chapter 561: Sun Jiamu¡¯s Dream (Part 1)
That was the beginning of her nightmare. After their marriage, she finally realised that Feng Dongkai had serious, abusive tendencies. He left her covered in wounds and bruises everyday. She suffered three instances of miscarriage and her body was permanently harmed. She was no longer able to conceive.
The two years of messages, letters and feelings which he had poured into her were all faked. During their fights, she learned that he had spent money to pay someone to send those things to her. The only time he personally did anything for her was when they used to meet up.
Feng Dongkai then threatened her with her family¡¯s safety, preventing her from going for a divorce. He even kept a mistress outside and eventually had an illegitimate son with his mistress...
For the sake of giving his mistress and child a proper status, the Feng family imed that she was mentally insane.
At the time, her parents tried to seek justice on her behalf but were targeted by Elder Feng. The entire Sun Corporation eventually became bankrupt.
In the end, she could no longer tolerate this and killed Feng Dongkai. She then took her own life.
¡°Ah... no, no!¡± Amidst her sleep, Sun Jiamu cried out in fear.
Fang Xinxin sat by her bedside and gathered her attention to activate her power.
She had one hand on Sun Jiamu¡¯s forehead as she slowly transferred her own memories of Sun Jiamu¡¯s previous life into her mind.
Although Sun Jiamu hadn¡¯t been reborn, she had the right to know the truth about the things that were supposed to have happened to her.
Fang Xinxin could not admit that she had been reborn. Thus, she could only allow Sun Jiamu to experience these things through her dream.
If Sun Jiamu was unwilling to deliberate over this issue, even if she activated her powers, Sun Jiamu would not be able to have these experiences through her dreams.
However...
She watched as Sun Jiamu suffered in her dreams.
Fang Xinxin understood that her attempt was sessful.
The moon shone brightly on this night.
A gust of cold wind rushed into the Sun family¡¯s home, rustling the curtains with it.
Sun Jiamu gradually awoke from her deep sleep. The first thing she saw was Fang Xinxin seated by her bedside. She had rested her chin on her palm and was dozing.
She turned to the clock and saw amidst the darkness that it was already 3:00 a.m..
Her good friend did not return to the Yu Ting Vi to be with Bai Qinghao. Instead, she was guarding by her side.
Sun Jiamu felt moved. She called out softly. ¡°Xinxin.¡± She truly hoped she would be able to cherish this friendship forever.
Fang Xinxin yawned and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡±
The sleeping pills¡¯ effect had finally worn off.
She sat up and embraced Fang Xinxin, crying softly. ¡°My dear, I had a terrifying dream. In my dream, I married Feng Dongkai and suffered four miscarriages. Feng Dongkai, that abusive pervert, he even had a mistress and gave birth to a son with that mistress. During that period, he beat me up everyday...¡±
It was not a dream, but the actual incidents that had happened in Sun Jiamu¡¯s previous life.
The only difference was that Fang Xinxin had interfered in this life.
Fang Xinxin hugged her andforted softly. ¡°It¡¯s just a dream.¡±
¡°But it felt too real to me, as though it really happened!¡± Sun Jiamu trembled in fear.
She suddenly pressed a heavy kiss against Fang Xinxin¡¯s cheek. ¡°My dear, I really feel that if I continued being with Feng Dongkai, all of those things would have happened! You saved me!¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
Good friends never lied to one another. Since she nodded, it meant that it was the truth.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s dream did not include anything unrted to Feng Dongkai that would happen in the future. This was because she wasn¡¯t actually reborn. ¡°Then, how did you know that those things would have happened had you not interfered?¡±
Fang Xinxin sat up and turned to look at a ss of water on the table. Her gaze turned cold.

Chapter 562: Xinxin’s Confession to Sun Jiamu
Chapter 562: Xinxin¡¯s Confession to Sun Jiamu
The cup flew through the air and paused thirty centimetres away from Sun Jiamu.
Sun Jiamu was dumbstruck. ¡°You... you have special abilities?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to admit she had been reborn, in case it caused future problems. ¡°Every so often, I¡¯ll also have some predictive ability. It doesn¡¯t always work, but coincidentally I was able to see your future with Feng Dongkai. That¡¯s the reason why I was so insistent on stopping you from being with him.¡±
¡°My dear, you¡¯re too amazing! You actually have special abilities!¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze was immediately filled with admiration.
¡°Don¡¯t you find me strange?¡±
¡°What¡¯s strange about you? You¡¯re a living person, and an especially amazing one at that.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze was sparkling with envy.
¡°It¡¯s not that amazing. I¡¯m just a human.¡±
Sun Jiamu embraced her tightly and rested her head against FangXinxin¡¯s shoulder. ¡°My dear, I was almost doomed by Feng Dongkai. You saved me from a tragedy. Uuu...¡±
She felt the urge to cry.
Fang Xinxin was not used to being embraced by anyone besides Bai Qinghao. ¡°Your voice is a little hoarse. Drink some water.¡±
She took the ss of water from mid-air and handed it to her.
Sun Jiamu received it and finished it in several gulps. ¡°Even the water you¡¯ve poured tastes sweet.¡± She suddenly thought of something. ¡°You offended Feng Dongkai for me. Elder Feng won¡¯t let you off.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Fang Xinxin responded. ¡°The evidence behind Elder Feng¡¯s corrupted behaviour has already been collected. He has already been imprisoned. The moment Elder Feng copses, the Feng family would lose its power. Bai Qinghao helped me with this.¡±
¡°I really have to thank you for this.¡± Sun Jiamu sighed.
It was her best friend that had helped her. Thus, she would not thank Bai Qinghao. Instead, she would appreciate Fang Xinxin more.
¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me. We¡¯re good friends. It¡¯s my duty to help you when you¡¯re in trouble.¡±
However, Sun Jiamu preferred not to trouble others. ¡°I wish to say the same to you.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯m a little tired.¡± Fang Xinxin took the cup from Sun Jiamu and ced it on the bedside table. She then stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll head to the guest bedroom to sleep.¡±
Sun Jiamu tugged her onto the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t go to the guest bedroom. Let¡¯s sleep together.¡±
Fang Xinxin staggered and fell on top of her. ¡°Thankfully I lost weight. Otherwise, I could have crushed you alive.¡±
¡°Haha, right now with your 1.67 metres height and 45 kilograms weight, you¡¯re as light as a feather...¡±
The two yed for a while before falling asleep in the same bed.
Their friendship was even stronger now.
...
The next day, Fang Xinxin left the Sun home after having breakfast. She first made a trip to her newly opened gamingpany before strolling along the streets.
Ding, ring, ring, ring, ring!
Her phone rang. It was a call from the Head of Teaching, Ma Yongting.
She answered the call. ¡°Head Ma, it¡¯s so rare to receive a call from you. How may I help you?¡±
As her grades used to be especially poor, and because she was an eyesore in the previous French teacher¡¯s eyes, she often visited the teaching department. Thus, Head Ma had her phone number.
¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± Ma Yongting¡¯s cheerful voice could be heard on the other end. ¡°Therge-scale evening party previously held at the Yuhua district had focused on the theme of ¡®Love for Our Community¡¯. This time, the focus is on public welfare. Thus, they weren¡¯t able to invite many celebrities. Coincidentally, our Jing Hua University is located in Yuhua district. Hence, the organisers asked us to send someone to host the event.¡±
#
Chapter 563: Warming Yuhua With Love
Chapter 563: Warming Yuhua With Love
¡°During the evening party, several of ourmunity¡¯s voluntary organisations as well as our Jing Hua University¡¯s music students will be performing. Everything has been prepared and the event will be held between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. tonight. It will be conducted at the Great Hall of the People in Yuhua district.¡±
Fang Xinxin responded indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m a Science student. All these performances are unrted to me. Why are you bringing this up?¡±
¡°There are six thousand audience seats in the hall and it¡¯ll be separated into the first and second storey. Our Jing Hua University is the main driving force of this event and has received two thousand seats for our students. I secured a few of the best seats on the second floor for you.¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted herbrows. ¡°Headmaster, I am just one person. I can possibly upy more than one seat, could I? There¡¯s no such thing as free lunch in this world.¡±
¡°Hehe, you saw through it?¡± Ma Yongting sounded a little embarrassed. ¡°Um, our Jing Hua University has an especially popr forum post these days. Have you seen it?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been busy and haven¡¯t had any time to check the forum.¡±
¡°I see. A while ago, during ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯, your fianc¨¦, Bai Qinghao¡¯s speech was especially well-received. It was then broadcasted by several television stations, drawing love and attention from people of every background. For the past few days, many elderly from the Yuhua district have been hoping to witness Bai Qinghao¡¯s charms in person. Thus, could we invite your fianc¨¦ to this event? The title for the event has already been decided. It¡¯s called, ¡®Warming Yuhua With Love ¨C Showing Our Elderly Love¡¯.¡±
Fang Xinxin was a little angered. ¡°Bai Qinghao has never enjoyed participating in such activities. Are you trying to tie us down with your so-called ¡®morals¡¯? If you hope for him to continue making any donations, he should be allowed to do so voluntarily. It¡¯s his business that he is wealthy. Please do not attempt to force him into anything.¡±
¡°This is a misunderstanding. All the focus tonight is on caring for our elderly. There isn¡¯t any need for donations. It¡¯s just that the elderly in the area have been hoping to see Bai Qinghao and we heard their voices loud and clear. I¡¯m simply expressing our people¡¯s wishes. We won¡¯t need him to go on-stage to speak. All he will have to do is to take a seat in the audience. We¡¯ve been preparing for the event for so long but we haven¡¯t invited any celebrities. Won¡¯t it be especially embarrassing if half the seats are unupied? If Bai Qinghao could show up, our seats will definitely be filled. Furthermore, the event will also be live-broadcasted.¡±
¡°Alright. I¡¯ll pass your request onto Bai Qinghao and inform you through textter.¡± Fang Xinxin ended the call and wrote a message to Bai Qinghao regarding this matter.
Bai Qinghao responded in a few minutes: [Are you going?]
Fang Xinxin recalled that in her previous life, Fang Manxue had been the emcee for the event. At the time, Fang Manxue had invited her up on the stage in front of everyone.
Back then, she had still been overweight and was covered in e. Fang Manxue had invited the audience to act as witnesses to her devotion towards losing weight.
In fact, Fang Manxue had merely wanted them to all have a good look at how ugly and fat she was.
At the time, her clothes had been cheaply bought and she had appeared very fearful. The moment she went on-stage, she was on the receiving end of everyone¡¯s mockingughter.
The feeling that she had nowhere she belonged to, left her feeling humiliated even now.
However, things had changed in this life. Fang Xinxin searched through the forums and saw that the emcee was no longer Fang Manxue, whose reputation had been ruined. Instead, it was the school¡¯s beauty, Mo Shanshan.
It was unlikely for Fang Manxue to invite her on-stage this time, was it?
She could not be bothered to attend the party. However, she understood through Bai Qinghao¡¯s message that he would not attend the event if she was not going.

Chapter 564: Best Seats
Chapter 564: Best Seats
Indeed, there were many posts on the forum describing how the elderly of Yuhua district were hoping to personally witness the sight of Bai Qinghao¡¯s charms.
Fang Xinxin did not wish to let them down.
She deliberated over the matter and sent a reply to Bai Qinghao: [I am.]
He responded quickly: [Let¡¯s go together then.]
She was going to appear with Bai Qinghao and they would be upying the best seats avable. She was certain that they would have a lot of attention on them.
Fang Xinxin stepped into a mall and purchased a white, v-neck dress that reached her knees. There was a gold belt around the waistline which entuated her slender figure perfectly.
The dress was simple and suitable for all sorts of asions. It was appropriate for everyday wear as well.
Thus, she changed into the dress right after purchasing it.
She then paired it with a set of gold heels and found a nearby salon to do her hair. Her hair was styled into a top knot and it entuated her youthful aura.
She instructed Tong Yu to send her clothes back to the Yu Ting Vi.
Right then, Sun Jiamu sent her a message on WeChat: [My dear, do you want to attend the evening party at the Great Hall together tonight?]
[Let¡¯s meet at the entrance at 7:20 p.m.] She replied.
Fang Xinxin had a simple dinner at a restaurant and took a cab to the Great Hall.
She noticed Sun Jiamu ncing around at the entrance. The moment she saw her, she waved her arms enthusiastically. ¡°Hello, my dear Xinxin. I¡¯m over here!¡±
Fang Xinxin approached and asked in concern. ¡°Are you feeling better now? Has the effect of taking sleeping pills gonepletely?¡±
¡°I was absolutely alright after I woke up in the morning.¡± Sun Jiamu smiled. ¡°This evening party came at the right time. I¡¯ll rely on it to improve my mood.¡±
¡°En.¡±
The two of them entered the crowded Great Hall together.
¡°Here, my dear. This is your ticket.¡± Sun Jiamu handed a small piece of paper to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Although all the tickets for this event are free, the tickets were first assigned to the performers. It¡¯s all right that we weren¡¯t able to get the front row seats. I bought two tickets for the third row.¡±
¡°Head Ma left me five tickets for the best seats on the second floor. Let¡¯s head there together.¡±
¡°Those seats are really good. They were specially saved for the leaders and you can¡¯t even purchase them with money.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Head Ma must have hoped for you to invite Bai Qinghao, didn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°Smart. But I didn¡¯t invite him. I only asked if he was interested. He said he woulde and the moment the news was released, the entire inte copsed.¡±
Sun Jiamu understood. ¡°It turns out that our country¡¯s idol is attending the event after all. It¡¯s no wonder that the six thousand seats for a free event like this are all upied. There were even people selling the tickets secretly.¡±
Her attention had been heavily focused on Feng Dongkai for the past few days and she did not pay much attention to themotion on the inte.
As the two of them chatted, they quickly arrived at the best seats in the house.
Most of the audience in the first row were leaders from the Yuhua District and Jing Hua University.
If this had been in the past, Fang Xinxin would certainly feel pressured.
However, she had spent ten years of her past life as Madam Bai. She had been through all sorts of situations and remained unfazed by this.
¡°Dear members of the audience, I am the host for tonight¡¯s event, Mo Shanshan.¡± A young, beautifuldy around the age of twenty-three appeared on the stage. She was dressed in a pink evening gown and her voice was especially pleasant to hear.
¡°I am your other host, Shen Jia.¡± Another man around the age of fifty spoke up.
The two of them then bowed to the audience together. ¡°Good evening, everyone.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure everyone is aware of how the previous event, ¡®Warming Jing Hua University With Love¡¯ shook the entire city. We hope that tonight¡¯s event will have the same effect.¡± Mo Shanshan smiled. ¡°I am one of the young students from Jing Hua University.¡±
#
Chapter 565: Will He Attend Or Not?
Chapter 565: Will He Attend Or Not?
The host, Shen Jia, spoke humorously. ¡°I am a resident from Yuhua district and am considered an elderly in my fifties. It is my honour to work with a young student from Jing Hua University. Our evening party tonight is filled with the bright energy from the youth, and the active energy from the eldery. We¡¯ve managed to synchronize all sorts of different styles. It also indicates that our youth can have a good time with our elderly.¡±
Thousands of the audience seated beneath the stage chuckled at his humour.
Shen Jie continued. ¡°Everyone grows old. In fact, life as an elderly is rather interesting as well. We hope that through tonight¡¯s party, we¡¯ll be able to inspire more youths to engage with our elderly and to warm our Yuhua district with love.¡±
The female host, Mo Shanshan, said, ¡°We will now begin our first performance: a dance titled, ¡®The City of Dreams¡¯. It will be performed by our elderly dance team from Yuhua district. Let¡¯s give a round of apuse to wee them!¡±
The two hosts separated and headed off the stage. Ten elderlydies in their fifties slowly stepped onto the stage. They were dressed in costumes with crop tops. They got into their positions and began dancing as the music yed...
The next performance was a solo flute performance by a senior from Jing Hua University...
Seven programs passed by just like that. Throughout the performances, the audiences¡¯ gaze shifted onto the empty seat on the second floor repeatedly. They only found Fang Xinxin, whose face was covered with a frighteningyer of medicine. There was no hint of Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure.
[Why isn¡¯t our country¡¯s idol here? I came here to see Bai Qinghao...] Someone made a post tagging Fang Xinxin on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum.
[I watched this boring event for too long. There isn¡¯t even a single idol. I¡¯m really losing my patience. Wasn¡¯t it confirmed that Bai Qinghao would be attending tonight? If that was not the case, this princess would never have attended such a boring event.]
[This young master also came to witness CEO Bai¡¯s charms. It¡¯s a good learning opportunity. Is CEO Baiing or not? If he isn¡¯t, I¡¯m leaving now.]
Every so often, people would leave grumbling and frustratedments on the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum. More and more people were tagging Fang Xinxin on their posts.
Fang Xinxin took a look at the forum. She then nced down from her seat, taking in the sight of the crowd downstairs.
The music was too loud.
She could only respond on the forum: [Bai Qinghao is very busy. Although he said he would attend, he did not mention what time he would arrive. Those who are unable to wait should just leave.]
[If our idol ising, we should still wait.] Every so often, someone would respond to herment.
Sun Jiamu was simrly reading through the forum. She said to Xinxin, ¡°My dear, it sure is stressful being our country¡¯s idol¡¯s future wife. In the future, when I look for a partner, I definitely won¡¯t look for someone as capable. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be watched whenever I make a single move.¡±
Fang Xinxin was also helpless. Bai Qinghao treated her too well. He had dedicated his life to protecting and loving her.
Since the moment he was born, he stood out among the masses as a figure akin to an emperor.
In their second life, she would not distance herself from him no matter what. Her greatest wish was to grow old with him.
All of a sudden, a neat row of armed bodyguards appeared on the red carpet. They were dressed in ck suits and seemed especially expressionless.
Everyone, including the host on-stage, turned to look at the entrance.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad-shouldered figure appeared. He was dressed in a well-pressed ck suit and seemed to have stepped right out of a magazine. He was cold and noble,manding a frigid cold aura. It was as though frost was forming all across the ce with his appearance.
He was truly handsome!
He was as outstanding as an emperor. One nce at him caused the audience to both admire and fear him.
The six thousand audience members werepletely speechless. Almost everyone¡¯s gaze followed Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure firmly.
Bai Qinghao approached the seat by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. Liu Li immediately ced a dark gold embroidered cushion on the seat.

Chapter 566: Facial Transformation
Chapter 566 - Facial Transformation
Bai Qinghao finally sat down. His posture was upright and intimidating. His powerful aura immediately filled the room.
A row of armed bodyguards stood expressionlessly behind him.
The seat to his left was empty, while Fang Xinxin sat to his right. Sun Jiamu had upied the seat to Fang Xinxin¡¯s right.
The performance continued on-stage. As the lights were darkened, everyone¡¯s attention gradually shifted back on-stage.
Some of the audience maintained their admiring gaze in Bai Qinghao¡¯s direction. Unfortunately, he appeared expressionless and gave them no attention.
.
[Bai Qinghao has really appeared. He is so handsome. If only he could give me a nce!] Someone with a profile image of a beautifuldy expressed her feelings on the Jing Hua University forum.
[Everyone feels the same way, but how many of us could he possibly look at? Save it. Our idol can only appear in the dreams ofmoners like us.]
[This shitty evening party is nowhere as exciting as our idol¡¯s appearance among the audience. It¡¯s a pity that he won¡¯t be giving a speech on stage...]
Everyone bombarded the Jing Hua University¡¯s forum with a bunch ofments.
No one noticed Fang Manxue standing in a dark corner hidden behind the curtains on-stage. She had been waiting for Bai Qinghao¡¯s appearance.
Bai Qinghao was outstanding and as noble as a god.
Yet, her position as a goddess and a star student... even her reputation as a virgin werepletely ruined...
Everything was lost!
Even the Fang Group itself could no longer hold on due to its financial difficulties.
She took in the presence of Fang Xinxin, that permanently disfigured ugly duckling. She sat by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side with a noble expression. How could Fang Manxue possibly not detest her?
That day, Wu Jiatong had personally witnessed her rotting skin.
It had been days yet there was no news of Fang Xinxin¡¯s disfigurement.
Indeed, Fang Xinxin had always been ugly. In that case, she would allow everyone to witness exactly how ugly Fang Xinxin was.
Fang Manxue noticed that the performers on stage were putting on a show of facial transformation,monly found in Sichuan. This sort of performance was very suitable for her third sister, hahaha!
The host, Mo Shanshan, headed backstage to the breakroom for a rest whilst the performance went on. She wanted to take this opportunity to fix her make-up.
All of a sudden, a white handkerchief was pressed against her nose. She immediately lost consciousness.
Fang Manxue supported the unconscious Mo Shanshan into the changing room and took the microphone from her hand. She then kicked her in the face harshly. "Whore. I¡¯m the actual Jing Hua University¡¯s goddess. Jing Hua University¡¯s events have always been hosted by me. Do you think you have the right to snatch my seat? But..."
She muttered to herself. "I won¡¯t me you. This is all Fang Xinxin¡¯s fault. I¡¯m going to ruin that ugly whore right now!"
Fang Manxue had already changed into a red gown and was dressed in a red pair of heels. Her hair was curled into soft waves and her dress revealed her cleavage beautifully. She also had a thickyer of make-up on her face.
She approached the mirror in the changing room and took in her own beauty with satisfaction.
"I¡¯m the only person in the entire world who ispatible with Bai Qinghao." Her expression was vicious.
Unfortunately, her future had been entirely ruined by that video!
She refused to allow Fang Xinxin to obtain the things she could never have.
The performer on-stage was Zheng Jun, a year 4 student from Jing Hua University. He was about to leave the stage when Fang Manxue stepped onto the stage in a pair of ten centimetres tall heels. "Senior Zheng Jun, please wait a moment. The Sichuan¡¯s unique facial transformation performance has another exciting segment. We will require your cooperation for this."
Zheng Jun was dumbstruck. When they were rehearsing the event, why hadn¡¯t anyone mentioned anything about a special segment?
However, right now, there were six thousand people present. The live-stream cameras were also directed at them.
Chapter 567: Fang Xinxin On Stage
Chapter 567: Fang Xinxin On Stage
He stayed cooperatively on stage and did not move.
Fang Manxue noticed that the audience appeared confused. She smiled beautifully and spoke in a cheerful tone. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Our host, Mo Shanshan, is feeling unwell and requested for me to take over her role. Hello everybody, I am a year 2 student from Jing Hua University. My name is Fang Manxue.¡±
The audience, even Head Ma Yongting, felt that something was amiss.
However, no one could pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Ma Yongting, who had been watching the event progression attentively, searched for Mo Shanshan backstage. However, he could not find her.
It was inappropriate for him to force Fang Manxue off the stage right now.
He recalled that Fang Manxue had hosted many of Jing Hua University¡¯s previous events. Those events were always well-received. Thus, he decided to let her be for the time being.
¡°Haha...¡± Fang Manxue smiled beautifully.
As her make-up today was especially charming, she appeared stunning beneath the spotlight. ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone must have heard about me recently. Indeed, I am our country idol¡¯s Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e¡¯s sister.¡±
The audience began to whisper among themselves. However, no one left their seats.
Fang Manxue¡¯s smile was unfazed. ¡°Although tonight¡¯s focus is for our youth and elderly to share the stage together, it is inevitable that such an event is slightly dull. My third sister and I have prepared a ¡®surprise¡¯ for everyone. Could I invite the lights to focus on Fang Xinxin, who is seated on the second floor? Let¡¯s give a warm wee to Fang Xinxin and invite her on-stage!¡±
In an instant, amidst the audience seats, a bright spotlight focused on Fang Xinxin¡¯s seat. She became the centre of everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Xinxin, what is your second sister up to this time?¡± Sun Jiamu asked in concern.
She knew very well that Fang Xinxin destested Fang Manxue. There was no way the two had worked together to prepare a surprise.
Even Bai Qinghao frowned. He lowered his voice to say. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to leave.¡±
¡°Since my second sister has such good intentions, how could I possibly leave so abruptly?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled.
The spotlight followed her as she made her way down the stairs. She stepped onto the stage with a powerful presence.
A rare hint of worry shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and heavy gaze.
On-stage, Fang Xinxin nced indifferently at Fang Manxue. Her second sister was truly stubborn. She insisted on following the trajectory of their previous lifetime.
Despite the fact that Fang Manxue was no longer the emcee, she still invited her on-stage the way she did in their previous life. It was a pity that Fang Xinxin would not allow herself to be humiliated again.
Fang Manxue took in the little white dress Fang Xinxin was wearing. It cinched at the waist with a gold belt and entuated her slender waist. Her arms and legs also appeared especially fair and thin. With a set of gold high heels, her figure could only be described as perfect!
¡°Although Fang Xinxin¡¯s face is a little ugly, her figure isn¡¯t bad...¡± Many in the audience were discussing among themselves.
Fang Manxue had assumed Fang Xinxin would be dressed sloppily and had wanted the audience to see that even her clothes were disgraceful. She did not expect Fang Xinxin to be dressed so suitably for the stage.
Although Fang Manxue was disappointed, she did not show it in her expressions.
She continued speaking into the microphone. ¡°Earlier, Senior Zheng Jun performed an exciting show of Sichuan¡¯s facial transformation. What most of our audience may not know is that my third sister is actually quite talented in this skill as well.¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be. Fang Xinxin actually knows how to perform facial transformation?¡± Someone asked loudly from the audience¡¯s seat.
Fang Manxue took in everyone¡¯s confused expression. She smiled and exined. ¡°Think about it. My third sister went from being over 90 kilograms heavy to 45 kilograms. Isn¡¯t that a great transformation? Her skin is either covered in countless tiny pimples, or in a thickyer of medicine.¡±
#
Chapter 568: Expose Her Ugliness
Chapter 568: Expose Her Ugliness
She gestured towards the thickyer of medicine on Fang Xinxin¡¯s skin. ¡°My third sister¡¯s face has transformed so much. Even Sichuan¡¯s specialty performance cannotpare to it. Everyone has seen her face when it was covered with pimples and now when it¡¯s covered with medicine. Hence, she shall perform her third transformation and remove her medicine to reveal her true, ugly appearance.¡±
Shen Jia, the male host, had been silent this whole time. He finally picked up his microphone to speak unhappily. ¡°Fang Manxue, aren¡¯t you being too out of line? How can you criticise someone¡¯s appearance at such an event?¡±
Fang Manxue was gambling her everything. She was determined for Fang Xinxin to lose her face and be tossed off the position of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯.
As someone who had already lost everything, she was fearless about saying and doing these things!
¡°It¡¯s a bit too much to say that I¡¯m criticising her.¡± Fang Manxue put on a helpless expression.
She wasn¡¯t sure why her face felt a little stiff. Was it because she had put on too much make-up? ¡°Fang Xinxin is Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. As the future noble Madam Bai, it¡¯s only right that she should have a deserving appearance. No matter if it¡¯s our Jing Hua University¡¯s students, theizens, or our audiences, which of them would disagree that Fang Xinxin is too ugly for Bai Qinghao? Although I¡¯m the host, does that mean I should go back on my conscience to speak dishonestly?¡±
At the thought that an ugly whore had stolen the Bai Qinghao whom she had admired and loved since she was young, Fang Manxue was thoroughly enraged.
She did not hold back her words. ¡°Fang Xinxin is ugly. Even if she has a thickyer of medicine on, it doesn¡¯t conceal the fact that she¡¯s ugly!¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he immediately felt the urge to shoot Fang Manxue to death.
He was about tomand someone to drag this crazy woman off the stage.
However, he received a message from Fang Xinxin: [Don¡¯t worry.]
¡°Wah!¡± The audience beneath the stage were overwhelmed.
¡°What kind of host is this? She¡¯s actually insulting someone on-stage. She must have lost her mind...¡±
¡°She might be a little insane, but Fang Manxue has already slept with Bai Chenxi. Her reputation is also thoroughly ruined. I bet she¡¯s just decided to throw her entire face away...¡±
¡°Although her words are harsh, Fang Manxue¡¯s performance is much more entertaining than the dance those olddies were putting on!¡±
Themotion beneath the stage was relentless. Initially, there were very few people watching the live-broadcast of the event from home. With Fang Manxue¡¯s interference however, the audience number immediately spiked up.
A lot ofizens were even watching the performance online.
¡°Senior Zheng Jun, may I trouble you to help my third sister to wipe off her medicine.¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s pleasant voice contained a hint of excitement. ¡°I trust that our audience present with us today, as well as our dear friends watching our live-broadcast from home must be excited to see exactly how ugly Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e is. They must be full of anticipation to see just how frightening her ugliness is.¡±
She then spoke mockingly to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Third Sister, you definitely cannot try to escape. You¡¯ll let down thousands of our dear audience.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression wasposed and she appeared especially serene and unfazed.
She did not have a microphone and could not speak up.
She couldn¡¯t possibly raise her voice to scream, could she?
Jiang Xingnan sat in the first row of the audience¡¯s seats. His gaze wasplex as he watched Fang Xinxin.
He recalled the frightening e that had covered her skin...
He truly could not bear for her to be humiliated by Fang Manxue in front of thousands of audience.
He wanted to go on-stage and to pull her away. However, he also felt that perhaps it was good for her to experience this matter once.
This way, she could finally understand that she truly wasn¡¯t suited to be Madam Bai.
At the same time, in an apartment in Hong Sheng District, Fang Shaohua sat in his living room and watched as Fang Manxue backed Fang Xinxin into a corner. He truly wished that he could stab Fang Manxue to death!

Chapter 569: Time For Truth
Chapter 569: Time For Truth
At the Fang family¡¯s vi, Fang Ln and Long Shuhai were watching the live-broadcast with great relish.
Long Shuhai was a little worried. ¡°It isn¡¯t very good for Manxue to treat Fang Xinxin like this, is it?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Fang Ln harrumphed coldly. ¡°Since my daughter has lost the right to enter the Bai family, what¡¯s wrong with thoroughly ruining Fang Xinxin! Let me tell you, beneath Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicinal pack, is a rotten face that will never recover. Let everyone take a good look at it. I want to see if the Bai family will be able to ept such an ugly daughter-inw.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± The rage in Long Shuhai¡¯s heart was also difficult to appease. ¡°Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t even suited to hold our Manxue¡¯s shoes. What right does she have to be the future Madam Bai!¡±
...
In the Yuhua district¡¯s Great Hall, Bai Qinghao appeared strangely at ease as he sat amongst the audience.
Initially, he did not wish for anyone to see his Xinxin¡¯s stunning good looks.
However, since Fang Manxue insisted on backing her into the corner, it meant that an unpolished diamond was meant to eventually outshine everyone.
At the same time, jealousments flooded the inte:
[Fang Manxue isn¡¯t wrong. Fang Xinxin is as ugly as a ghost. She really isn¡¯t suited to be with Bai Qinghao. Even if I only have the appearance of an unassuming passer-by, I¡¯m still ten times more attractive than she is.¡±
[It¡¯s a disgrace to the Bai family to have such an ugly woman marry our country¡¯s idol. I would be the better option if we werepared...]
[We can¡¯t me Fang Manxue. Although it¡¯s not Fang Xinxin¡¯s fault for being ugly, she shouldn¡¯t have appeared here with her frightening looks. She clearly deserves this considering how she gave Fang Manxue the opportunity to target her.]
Sun Jiamu took in all of the jealous and pretentious whores. She was angered to the point where her lungs nearly exploded. She immediately responded:
[All of you are just jealous! No matter how beautiful you all are, you¡¯ll never be able topete with Fang Xinxin!]
Unfortunately, she was unable to fight the masses and herment was quickly lost among the many voices.
On stage, Fang Manxue saw that Zheng Jun wasn¡¯t moving and urged him. ¡°Senior Zheng, I told you to remove Fang Xinxin¡¯s medicine. Let¡¯s see if your facial transformation act will be able topete with my third sister¡¯s.¡±
Zheng Jun hesitated. ¡°Although times have changed, our ancestors have taught us that ambiguous acts between men and women are inappropriate. As a man, no matter what, I shouldn¡¯t be handsy against a woman.¡± Besides, this was the future Madam Bai. How could he possibly dare to touch her?
¡°I didn¡¯t know that Senior Zhen Jun was so cool...¡± There were two thousand Jing Hua University students present. Their impression about him immediately turned favourable.
Fang Manxue was stifled with anger. ¡°Since you refuse to do it, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± She then red at Fang Xinxin¡¯s indifferent appearance. ¡°Third Sister, your facial performance hasn¡¯t beenpleted yet. Your second sister shall help you toplete it.¡±
She then took a wet wipe and reached for Fang Xinxin¡¯s face.
¡°I won¡¯t trouble Second Sister. I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Fang Xinxin was helpless.
Her second sister insisted on humiliating her before thousands of audience members. It was truly difficult to refuse her great hospitality.
In their previous life, at this very same ce, her second sister had humiliated her while iming that she was encouraging her to lose weight. As a result, she had been thoroughly disgraced and had transformed into the city¡¯sughing stock.
It was time she gave her second sister a surprise.
Fang Manxue harrumphed coldly. ¡°Hurry up then.¡±
It was good that she did not have to force the ugly whore into it.
However, she was worried that her rotten face would be too disgusting.
Fang Xinxin lifted her fair hand and began to wipe away the dried-up medicine on her face.

Chapter 570: Stunningly Beautiful
¡°Dear audience, it¡¯s the moment we¡¯ve all been waiting for. Please watch as Jing Hua University¡¯s Year 2, ss 3¡¯s student, as well as our country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Fang Xinxin, performs her facial transformation act!¡± Fang Manxue spoke to further stir up the agitated atmosphere.
All six thousand members of the audience directed their gaze at Fang Xinxin.
Every television broadcast camera was also directed urately at Fang Xinxin¡¯s face.
Everyone held their breath.
As the medicine on Fang Xinxin¡¯s face had dried up, she only had to tug at it a few times to peel it off.
Ever since she began using the medicine, she carried wet wipes with her everywhere she went.
She reached into a pocket for a packet of single use wet wipes. She tore open the packaging and cleaned her face thoroughly.
The next moment, her fair, stunning appearance was revealed.
Her eyes were as bright and clear as a pair of jewels. They appeared to be sparkling with light. Her nose was sharp and her lips were moist, soft and pinkish. Combined with her stunning, perfect figure, she was stunning from every angle!
More amazingly, it was clear through the camera lenses zooming in that she was not using any make-up. Yet, her skin appeared soft and baby smooth. There was not the slightest w.
[Fuck! Is this Fang Xinxin? I¡¯mpletely awe-struck by her beauty. This is basically heaven¡¯s best creation!]
[My god, I¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful girl. Her beauty is iparable!]
[Stop bringing up the Four Legendary Beauties, the famous concubines and those idols of yours. Those ancient and modern beauties fade into the background whenpared to her! I¡¯m going to take her with me! She¡¯s too beautiful. It¡¯s no wonder that she¡¯s Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e...]
Thement sections online began exploding.
All the six thousand audience members in Yuhua district¡¯s Great Hall held their breaths. They refused to blink as they took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning appearance. Their initial shock had given way to absolute awe.
They did not wish to look away from her for even a moment!
Jiang Xingnan sat beneath the stage. His seat was especially close to Fang Xinxin and he was in absolute stupor.
He found this really difficult to ept. Fang Xinxin, who had been known to be the ugliest in the entire city, was actually stunning to the point where it was difficult to put into words.
He recalled that he often called Fang Xinxin an ugly trash, an ugly bitch...
He truly felt his own face being pped loudly.
Jiang Xingnan instantly suffered a serious, painful blow to his heart.
In an apartment in Hong Sheng District, Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze was fixated on Fang Xinxin¡¯s gorgeous appearance. Although he was surprised, he was not very shakened.
Since his Xinxin was born, she had looked like a stunning porcin doll, hadn¡¯t she?
This was but her true appearance.
He was thankful that such a wonderful Xinxin was his woman.
When his crimes were washed off and when he finally regained his freedom, he would definitely provide the best future for her.
At the Fang family¡¯s vi, Long Shuhai and Fang Ln were stunned to the point where their chins had nearly fallen onto the ground.
¡°How can Fang Xinxin be this beautiful?¡± Fang Ln stood up from the couch and raised her voice to criticise. ¡°She¡¯s the world¡¯s ugliest whore! This isn¡¯t Fang Xinxin! It cannot be!¡±
¡°Ln, don¡¯t be agitated.¡± Long Shuhai embraced her.
¡°I¡¯m angered to death!¡± Fang Ln shoved him aside and red at him angrily. ¡°Their mothers are identical. Why was she able to give birth to such a stunning daughter with Long Yifan, yet you were that useless. Manxue¡¯s appearance and figure are both iparable to that of Fang Xinxin!¡±
Long Shuhai coaxed her and said, ¡°Our Manxue is also very beautiful!¡±

Chapter 571: Fang Manxue, The Idiot
¡°What¡¯s the use of her being beautiful if she can¡¯tpete against her daughter!¡± Fang Ln¡¯s lips were twisting in anger. ¡°If I had known this, I would have had a daughter with Long Yifan!¡±
Long Shuhai¡¯s wrinkles seemed to increase from his agitation. ¡°If you didn¡¯t pretend to be Long Yifan¡¯s wife, would he have wanted you?¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Ln raised her voice, ¡°Watch your words. If it wasn¡¯t for me, would you have been able to enjoy the past few years of wealth?¡±
¡°Alright, Ln.¡± Long Shuhai embraced her and softened his attitude. ¡°I¡¯ve given you so much. Despite the fact that we separated for years, I never married anyone because of you.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that what you should be doing?¡± She asked sternly.
¡°Of course it is.¡± Long Shuhai rushed to agree. ¡°You must have gone silly from anger. Our Manxue is also a great beauty. How can a mother criticise her own daughter for not being beautiful enough?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of Fang Xinxin, that whore!¡±
...
On the second floor of the audience seats in Yuhua district¡¯s Great Hall, Sun Jiamu took in her best friend¡¯s stunning appearance and heaved arge sigh of relief. She also felt joy on her behalf.
This time, Fang Manxue wouldn¡¯t be able to humiliate Xinxin again.
One seat away, Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was as deep as the ocean.
He appeared expressionless as he had already known of Xinxin¡¯s beauty.
However, he was too attracted to Fang Xinxin. His cold, sharp gaze was fixated on his fianc¨¦e on-stage. He could not bear to look away even for a moment.
Behind him, Liu Li felt his cheeks turning swollen from the metaphorical beating he was experiencing.
Who asked him to always ask Fang Xinxin to take a look in the mirror in the past. He even mocked her for being the ugliest in the world...
His lips were too toxic and now that the tides have changed, he wondered how many people would scold him for being blind?
However, at the thought that he wasn¡¯t the only person with poor eyesight.
Liu Li instantly felt better.
On stage, Fang Manxue saw that the audience werepletely speechless. As both Fang Xinxin and her were facing the audience, she did not turn to check Fang Xinxin¡¯s face.
¡°Everyone must be frightened by Fang Xinxin¡¯s rotten face, right?¡± Fang Manxue spoke in what she assumed was good humour. ¡°My third sister¡¯s e-covered face, her medicine-covered face and finally, her frightening, rotten face. I¡¯m sure that no one would have expected Fang Xinxin¡¯s triple facial transformation act would be even more frightening than a female ghost. However, this rotten face is her true appearance. Is everyone able to tolerate the fright?¡±
She then asked Zheng Jun. ¡°Senior Zheng, how about it? Is my third sister¡¯s facial transformationparable to yours?¡±
Everyone beneath the stage looked at Fang Manxue as though she was an idiot. Much of the audience began booing and jeering.
Zheng Jun turned to the side. He stared in awe at Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning beauty. ¡°I am willing to admit my defeat. No matter how perfect my performance was, it cannotpare to the revtion of her true appearance!¡±
Fang Manxue had already noticed something amiss from the audience¡¯s reaction.
When she heard Zheng Jun¡¯s response, she turned to look at Fang Xinxin. She stared in disbelief at her fair, stunning appearance and began shrieking. ¡°How is this possible? This cannot be Fang Xinxin!¡±
Zheng Jun really despised Fang Manxue¡¯s attitude of backing them into the corner.
He took the initiative to hand his microphone over to Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin responded calmly with the microphone in her hand. ¡°Fang Manxue, why isn¡¯t it me?¡±
Fang Manxue backed away in fright. Her feet staggered and her heels slipped against the ground. She fell on the floor. ¡°This isn¡¯t how you actually look. It isn¡¯t!¡±

Chapter 572: No More Opportunities
Chapter 572: No More Opportunities
She wasn¡¯t sure what had gone wrong. Fang Xinxin had clearly used the medicine that was tampered with. Why wasn¡¯t she disfigured? Instead, she even regained her original appearance!
Fang Manxue¡¯s loss ofposure caused everyone to explode withughter. They were enjoying a good show.
They whispered among themselves. ¡°Fang Manxue¡¯s act is truly much more entertaining than any other regr performance.¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared unruffled. Her pleasant voice could be heard through the cordless microphone. ¡°I don¡¯t wish for anyone to misunderstand anything. There are countless photos of me when I was young. My appearance hasn¡¯t changed that much over the years. I have never had stic surgery. I simply lost weight and treated my e. As for the e that I¡¯ve been suffering from over the years, it was caused by the ¡®medicine¡¯ my second sister added into my make-up. I¡¯ve finally recovered my original appearance. I hope everyone doesn¡¯t make inurate spections about my appearance, such as things like stic surgery.¡±
The audience fell silent at her words.
[Wah! Fang Xinxin¡¯s every move and every stance is gorgeous. Even her voice is movingly sweet...]
[She stands out amongst the crowd and there are no others like her. My eyes can only contain Fang Xinxin...]
[Where are the jealous ghosts who said that Fang Xinxin was frighteningly ugly, and that they were more suited to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e? They even imed that they were ten times more attractive than Fang Xinxin. I bet their faces are swollen from the face beating they¡¯ve suffered!]
On Jing Hua University¡¯s forum, every so often, various schoolmates, nerds and girls would post theirments. They had a lot of feelings to express.
When Fang Manxue heard this, she immediately stood up and yelled into the microphone. ¡°Fang Xinxin, when did I tamper with your make-up? Don¡¯t nder me. I¡¯ll make you take legal responsibilities!¡±
[Everyone, do you think Fang Xinxin is speaking the truth? Was Fang Manxue truly the person behind her e over the past few years?] People immediately began specting online.
[Look at how arrogant Fang Manxue, the number one whore, is. She has fully revealed her vicious side on stage. Is there anything she wouldn¡¯t dare to do? It¡¯s really possible that she actually did it.]
Thements were all supportive of Fang Xinxin now.
On stage, Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze was gorgeous and unruffled. ¡°Fang Manxue, you know very well whether or not you¡¯ve done it. I¡¯ve already prepared the evidence. Don¡¯t worry, once you get off this stage, you¡¯ll have to take the legal responsibilities you deserve.¡±
Fang Manxue instantly turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Her eyes were filled with fear and even her lips began trembling.
The camera zoomed into her face, capturing her expression perfectly.
Everyone took in her reaction and knew with certainty that Fang Xinxin was not lying.
Fang Manxue knew very well that her third sister would never lie.
It seemed like Fang Xinxin had long known that her medicine was tampered with. She had even discovered the ¡®drugs¡¯ that were in her medicinal pack...
She could somewhat predict her near future.
At this moment, Fang Manxue hated herself deeply for missing the right opportunities. Fang Xinxin¡¯s beauty dazzled the entire city and even the entire world!
She was too jealous of Fang Xinxin¡¯s beauty. She wanted to charge forward and scratch Fang Xinxin¡¯s face. She wanted to ruin it!
From the corner of her eyes, she noticed two armed bodyguards watching her sternly. It was as though they would move against her the moment she did anything inappropriate.
It was obvious that Bai Qinghao had sent them to protect Fang Xinxin.
She did not have any more opportunities.
Fang Manxue struggled to ept the way Fang Xinxin was standing beautifully on stage.

Chapter 573: Confession
Even if she was doomed to be imprisoned, she would make sure that this whore was humiliated first.
At the thought that Fang Xinxin did not possess any talent or skills to speak of, Fang Manxue smiled viciously. ¡°Thank you, Senior Zheng Jun, for apanying my third sister and I for this performance of facial transformation. Next, my third sister shall present a performance she prepared herself.¡±
Zheng Jun headed off the stage and everyone¡¯s attention shifted onto Fang Xinxin.
Unfortunately, she remained silent for several seconds. The six thousand members of the audience waited in silence with her.
¡°Third Sister, aren¡¯t you going to perform?¡± Fang Manxue smiled as though they were very close to one another.
Fang Xinxin responded honestly. ¡°I was pulled onto the stage by youst minute. As a Science student, I thought from the beginning that I would only be part of the audience. I was never told to prepare any performance.¡±
¡°Wah...¡± The audience were astonished.
¡°If Fang Xinxin can¡¯t perform, she should get off the stage. She¡¯s embarrassing herself by standing there!¡±
¡°She¡¯s so beautiful. Her figure is also perfect. It¡¯s not a bad idea to stand there for us to admire her.¡±
¡°Fang Manxue is really too much. I think she is intentionally trying to humiliate Fang Xinxin. It¡¯s one thing that the pitiful Fang Xinxin has lost her face, but she¡¯s even ruining our Bai Qinghao¡¯s face...¡±
Sun Jiamu felt as though she was sitting on needles. She was extremely worried about how her friend would take to being embarrassed this way.
Jiang Xingnan watched Fang Xinxin from beneath the stage. He hoped she would understand that despite her beauty, the position as Madam Bai was still a great distance away from her.
Bai Qinghao clenched his fists. He really wanted to send Fang Manxue flying from the stage with a kick. This bitch! After this, he would make sure that she would never be able to stand up again!
As his cold, distant gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin, it was filled with heartache. He deliberated if he ought to go on-stage to ease her difort.
Beneath the stage, the crowd whispered among themselves furiously.
While on stage, Fang Manxue added fuel onto the fire. ¡°There¡¯s a category of people described to be, ¡®Empty straw bags with only beauty to speak of¡¯. Third Sister, you must be someone like that, aren¡¯t you? You¡¯re standing on stage despite not having any talent to speak of. Are you a monkey invited to make usugh?¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s humor drew the audience¡¯sughter.
¡°If you don¡¯t know how to perform, quit dying everyone¡¯s time. Quickly scram from this stage!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s voice turned sharp and stern.
Even if she would soon meet with misfortune, she could still create the perfect exit for herself. She could still force Fang Xinxin to be a helplessughing stock in front of thousands of audience.
Bai Qinghao stood up and was about to head up the stage...
Fang Xinxin smiled beautifully. ¡°Since Fang Manxue insists on forcing me to perform, I¡¯ll sing a song for everyone.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he sat back down.
¡°When did you learn to sing?¡± Fang Manxue narrowed her eyes slightly.
¡°I don¡¯t have to tell you about my personal matters.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s sweet voice could be heard through the microphone. ¡°Could the audio technician backstage find the soundtrack for ?¡±
Fang Manxue insisted on causing trouble. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I don¡¯t like this song!¡±
There was a chance that Fang Xinxin would sing this well. She needed to prevent this from happening! She would not allow the whore to receive any good attention whatsoever!
¡°Boo...¡± The crowd began jeering in response to Fang Manxue¡¯s words.
Fang Xinxin was not affected. She maintained her smile before the cameras. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s change it to . This song is for the audience, as well as for someone special to me.¡±
This time, before Fang Manxue could interrupt, the music began ying.

Chapter 574: Confession Continuation
Chapter 574: Confession Continuation
The noisy audience also gradually quietened down.
Although everyone had very little expectations from a Science student¡¯s song, Fang Xinxin was still the future Madam Bai. They were really interested in hearing her sing.
Amidst the slow background music, Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice carried some grief as it filled the entire Great Hall:
¡°All of my dreams are about you, all of my thoughts are about you.
I wonder if you, whom I love deeply, are able to understand my heart.¡±
The moment she opened her mouth, her voice rippled through their hearts. The crowd was instantly stunned.
Everyone appeared dumbstruck. Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t just singing well. She was doing even better than a professional singer, alright!
Both Jiang Xingnan beneath the stage and Fang Shaohua who sat before the television were in disbelief.
Was this Fang Xinxin, who never had any skills to speak of?
Sun Jiamu was extremely agitated. She never knew that her friend was actually this outstanding. She was truly happy for her!
Even Bai Qinghao, who was usually indifferent, appeared slightly surprised.
He had never known that his Xinxin could sing. Furthermore, she was singing so well.
Indeed, his Xinxin has never said she could never sing. She had refrained from performing this skill before.
He wondered just how many surprises she still had waiting for him.
He gave the bodyguards standing by his side some instructions. They immediately informed the audio technician backstage to turn off Fang Manxue¡¯s microphone.
On stage, Fang Manxue¡¯s mouth fell open from her shock. Why could this cheap whore sing? Since a young age, she had never shown the ability to sing. To think that she had left the audience in awe the moment she began.
Fang Manxue was angered to death!
¡°Audio technicians, turn the music off. Turn it off!¡± She screamed loudly.
She refused to allow Fang Xinxin to be the centre of attention.
However, she realised that both the music and Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice could still be heard clearly. Instead, it was her own voice that was silenced.
Someone backstage had turned her microphone off.
Without an active microphone, who would be able to hear her on stage.
There was no point in raising her voice. Out of fear for the bodyguards watching her, Fang Manxue could only stand there with ring eyes.
¡°I miss you. I spend my nights tossing and turning for you.
In this lovesick evening, I protect my love for you alone.
You are the person I love the most. You are the person I¡¯ve spent my whole life yearning for.
Fate led me to fall for you in this life. You¡¯ve taken up my entire heartspace.
You are the person I love the most. You are the person I¡¯ve spent my whole life yearning for.¡±
Fang Xinxin continued singing. Her voice was emotional and it contained some grief. Her voice worked with her appearance and her gaze was loving as she stared straight at Bai Qinghao seated in the audience.
Through her actions, even idiots could tell that this song was not only meant for the audience. It was also meant for Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao listened to her moving voice and the grief she was expressing. He could deeply feel the love she was conveying.
It was as though she was disying her love for him through her song!
His expression gradually turned intoxicated.
What was more moving than having the woman of your heart express her love for you in a song?
Fang Xinxin had a voice kissed by the angels. It moved every single person in the audience, including those who sat before their televisions at home. They inevitably began to recall their own painful memories.
Everyone was emotionally moved!
¡°You are the only person that matters in this lifetime. We¡¯ll spend this entire life supporting each other.
I¡¯ll always keep you in my heart... We¡¯ll spend this entire life supporting each other.¡±
As Fang Xinxin finished, the audience remained in a stunned silence.

Chapter 575: Xinxin’s Moving Words
Chapter 575: Xinxin¡¯s Moving Words
It seemed like everyone was still immersed in her song.
¡°Thank you, everyone!¡± Fang Xinxin bowed towards the crowd.
The audience finally seemed to snap out of their daze and burst into thunderous apuse. Their apuse seemed to grow louder by the minute, and their palms were turning red.
Every so often, someone from the crowd would shout in admiration. ¡°Good! That was a good song!¡±
Fang Manxue appeared to have be one of the decorations on stage.
Shen Jie, the host, approached the centre of the stage and spoke into his microphone. ¡°I truly did not expect Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice to be this beautiful and moving. Your emotions were strongly conveyed. Miss Fang, I trust that everyone is very curious about what you meant earlier when you said that the song was dedicated to someone else besides the audience.¡±
At this moment, Bai Chenxi upied one of the seats amongst the audience.
Fang Xinxin had given him too many surprises tonight!
He never expected the fat and ugly Fang Xinxin to possess such a stunning beauty and charming figure after losing weight. She even sang a song beautifully!
It was nearly the best song he had ever heard in this lifetime.
He recalled the way he used to despise Fang Xinxin, and how he had repeatedly pushed her away.
A hint of regret shed past Bai Chenxi¡¯s face. He had spent this entire night drowning in regret and disbelief.
If he had known she was this outstandingly beautiful, he would have epted her long ago!
From what he recalled, Fang Xinxin had always watched him with a shy but admiring gaze ever since they were young. This hadsted for over ten years. He refused to believe that it was all an act.
He also refused to believe she would bepletely ruthless towards him.
Perhaps, the song earlier was dedicated to him?
The moment this thought shed by, Bai Chenxi lifted his head and stared fixedly at the stage. A hint of anticipation shed past his face.
Jiang Xingnan, who was seated in the first row, knew that Fang Xinxin did not have him in mind when she sang her song. He felt a wave of acute disappointment.
Fang Shaohua, who was watching the programme from home, listened to the host¡¯s question. A hint of anticipation appeared on his especially pale face.
There wasn¡¯t a single woman who did not value her first time.
Xinxin was his...
They had been close ymates since they were young. Although they did not share any blood rtion, they were much closer than any siblings could be.
The person Xinxin loved the most in her lifetime... was him, wasn¡¯t it?
Gradually, Fang Shaohua lost control over his anticipation.
At the Great Hall, on the second storey, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and indifferent. However, his figure was enveloped in a dangerous, cold aura. Even Sun Jiamu, who was one seat away from him, was left trembling.
Bai Qinghao nced at Jiang Xingnan, who was seated in the first row, and Bai Chenxi, who was hidden amongst the crowd.
His mind even thought about that greedy Fang Shaohua who wasn¡¯t present right now.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s song had a special meaning. It was clearly dedicated to the person she loved the most in this life.
If she were not thinking of him, he would make sure that the bastard would pay with his life!
Sun Jiamu trembled in her seat. She wasn¡¯t sure if Bai Qinghao had taken the wrong medicine but he looked as if he was itching to kill someone.
As Fang Xinxin was about to answer the emcee¡¯s question, Sun Jiamu began praying internally:
¡®My sister, you better not speak carelessly. If the song wasn¡¯t meant for Bai Qinghao, please keep your mouth quiet. Otherwise, blood might be shed before we even know it.¡¯
Fang Xinxin, who made a dazzling figure in her white gown on stage, did not hear Sun Jiamu¡¯s prayer.
Her eyes appeared to be sparkling as she nced at Bai Qinghao lovingly. She said seriously, ¡°I would like to gift this song to... Bai Qinghao.¡±

The moment everyone heard her stunning voice, understanding immediately filled their expressions.
Jiang Xingnan pursed his lips in disappointment.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s anticipative expression also turned white with pain.
¡°Hu...¡± Sun Jiamu released a breath in relief.
She was thankful that blood would not be shed tonight. Her good friend, who was on stage, had no idea how dangerous the situation had been earlier. Her fianc¨¦ was willing to kill for her!
Bai Chenxi clenched his fists in anger. Fang Xinxin, that indecisive woman. She must have been taken in by Bai Qinghao¡¯s status. Why else would she have a change of heart?
.
Bai Qinghao, alone, was able to rx his tense and tightened muscles.
All this while, Fang Xinxin had been expressive with her feelings for him. He was constantly able to feel them.
Still, ten years of her avoidance remained like a needle pierced in his heart. It was difficult for him topletely bury it, and he could only choose to ignore its presence.
Her good behaviour still left him fearful of losing her at some point of time.
After all, regardless of how strongly she expressed her feelings, she had never once clearly said that she loved him, did she?
¡°Our country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao, is your future fianc¨¦. There¡¯s nothing more suitable than dedicating this song to him,¡± Shen Jiaplimented with a smile.
Fang Xinxin watched Bai Qinghao lovingly and spoke sweetly into the microphone. ¡°Bai Qinghao, thank you for remaining by my side all this while and for supporting me through all of the hardships we¡¯ve encountered. isn¡¯t only a song dedicated to you. My feelings for you are as described in the song. All of my thoughts, dreams and feelings are full of you. You are the person I love and yearn for the most. In this life, I only wish to spoil you, to love you and to share my entire life with you!¡±
Everyone knew of Bai Qinghao¡¯s power and influence, but none of them had seen the side of Bai Qinghao when he had remained devoted to her despite her blind and paralysed state. At the very end, he had even sacrificed his life for her.
After surviving one lifetime, she was willing to give up on the materialistic matters of life. She truly only wished to love and spoil him, and to spend her entire life with him!
The expression on Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning face was especially sincere. Her gaze was open and did not contain the slightest duplicity. Her voice was genuine and it conveyed her deep feelings for him as well as her apanying sorrow.
Her deep and sincere love moved everyone¡¯s hearts.
The entire audience present were touched tonight!
Jiang Xingnan¡¯splexion was pale with disappointment. Bai Chenxi was also gritting his teeth to the point where they were nearly breaking.
In an apartment in Hong Sheng district, Fang Shaohua fell backwards on the couch.
It was as though he had lost his entire strength. His body felt weak and his heart... ached to the point where it overwhelmed him.
Why was it that he had obtained Xinxin¡¯s body, but not her heart?
At the Great Hall in Yuhua district, Fang Manxue was angered to the point where she nearly gave Fang Xinxin a few tight ps. This shameless whore! She actually confessed to Bai Qinghao in front of thousands of people. She was truly throwing her face away!
Fang Manxue seemed to have forgotten that she once imed that it was the umted fortunes of ten lifetimes that led her to being Bai Qinghao¡¯s ¡®fianc¨¦e¡¯...
Sun Jiamu was deeply moved as she murmured in her seat. ¡°My dear, the love you share with him is truly inspiring!¡±
In the dark hall, the bright spotlight focused on Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure.
The audience shifted their gaze onto him.
Bai Qinghao was dressed in a neatly pressed, ck suit. He made for a stern and cold figure, but for once, he did not appear indifferent. Instead, he appeared deeply moved in ways that could not be described.

Chapter 577: Bai Qinghao’s Tender Emotions
Chapter 577: Bai Qinghao¡¯s Tender Emotions
If one looked carefully, his eyes even appeared slightly misty.
Of course, he would never cry before thousands of audience and the cameras.
For Bai Qinghao, tears were things that he did not possess. All he would ever shed was blood!
His stern, indifferent appearance was working hard to conceal his emotions to the best of his abilities.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s words had overwhelmed years of defense which he had built in his heart. In an instant, all the ice in his heartspace had melted.
He had never known that Fang Xinxin¡¯s feelings for him were this true and sincere.
Her love for him was as deep as an ocean. It left his heart overwhelmed with sweetness.
Furthermore, he was truly taken aback that she would confess to him in front of so many people despite her shy personality.
Bai Qinghao willed away the urge to tear up. His tall and broad figure stood up from the seat and he quickly made his way up the stage. He took the microphone from the emcee and paused a step away from Fang Xinxin. He watched her lovingly and spoke in a serious and sincere voice. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I love you.¡±
Thunderous apuse immediately filled the Great Hall. Every wave of apuse drowned out the echoes of the previous one.
In their previous life, Bai Qinghao never once said these words to her despite their ten years of marriage.
She never expected to hear the words that she had only ever dreamt of.
The love of her life had confessed to her before countless people.
She was too moved!
She jumped into his arms.
Bai Qinghao embraced her slender figure tightly as he continued whispering into her ear. ¡°I love you, I love you, I love...¡±
On the live-broadcasted programme, the image of the two of them embracing lovingly moved hundreds of thousands of audience.
[Wah! This is too romantic! Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice is so beautiful, and her appearance is absolutely gorgeous. She is definitely a goddess. Our goddess¡¯s love is so moving...]
[Bai Qinghao really loves Fang Xinxin a lot. I¡¯m both envious and touched...]
[Fang Xinxin was so brave to confess. With a fianc¨¦ that loves her this much, it must be worth it even if she has to sacrifice her life for this love!]
Thement section online was flooded. Almost all of them expressed their blessings for the couple.
At Fang Shaohua¡¯s apartment, he leaned back against the couch weakly and watched as Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin embraced. The pain in his heart overwhelmed him while tears rolled down his cheeks.
He struggled to understand what happened.
Xinxin, you¡¯re already mine, yet you¡¯ve abandoned me...
The pain gradually spread throughout his body and he felt as though he had been abandoned by the entire world.
Destion, loneliness and pain.
He struggled to endure it. He reached for the remote control and turned the television off.
At the Fang family¡¯s vi, Long Shuhai and Fang Ln were both trembling in anger. They pointed at the image of Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao embracing and cursed at her endlessly.
Beneath the stage, Jiang Xingnan who was seated in the first row felt as though his heart had sunk into an icy cer.
He was unfamiliar with the matters of love, and this was his first experience of heartbreak.
It was as though his heart had suffered a wound and was bleeding endlessly.
Bai Chenxi alone struggled to ept his defeat. Fang Xinxin had always loved him deeply. Why was she confessing to Bai Qinghao?
Sun Jiamu was in tears because of how touched she was.
Although her own first love had ended badly, she was genuinely happy that her best friend had found true love.
¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯re mine. Mine!¡± Fang Manxue shrieked in anger. As her microphone was switched off, only the audience who sat near the stage could hear her.
All of them shot her looks of disdain.

Chapter 578: Horror Show
All of a sudden, several people sitting in the first row pointed at Fang Manxue¡¯s face and shrieked. ¡°Quickly look, is that a crack on Fang Manxue¡¯s face?¡±
¡°Fang Manxue¡¯s face is so frightening!¡±
As their voices grew louder, everyone¡¯s attention shifted onto Fang Manxue.
It was as though this was a scene taken right out of a horror movie. A mark akin to a spider web had appeared on her face. In the next moment, the faint lines split open into cracks. Her face was even more frightening than that of a ghost¡¯s!
Everyone was terrified by just looking at her.
Fang Manxue¡¯s face had turned numb and she barely felt anything. She noticed everyone¡¯s frightened gaze and caught the noise of her flesh cracking open...
She touched her own face and immediately felt the uneven gaps appearing there. She was instantly frightened into screaming. ¡°Ah!¡±
Fang Xinxin saw clearly that karma had found its way into Fang Manxue¡¯s hands. She was permanently disfigured!
However, she did not expect to have thousands of audience members witness this moment!
Fang Manxue could no longer remain on stage. She ran backstage and quickly escaped everyone¡¯s eyes.
Fang Xinxin lifted the microphone and spoke through it to calm the audience. ¡°Earlier, I performed an act of facial transformation. Fang Manxue also wished to give everyone a surprise and joined in. Now that the performance has ended, she has left the stage. From everyone¡¯s expressions, it seemed like you were more frightened than pleasantly surprised.¡±
Her humour stirred the audience¡¯sughter and exined the reason why Fang Manxue¡¯s face suddenly appeared so frightening.
Fang Manxue had be disfigured because Fang Xinxin used her own tactics against her. As this issue was caused by Fang Xinxin, it was best to keep a low profile.
Next, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin both gave a short speech before they quickly left the stage.
An elderlydy from Yuhua district¡¯s dance team took over as the female host. She joined Shen Jie to continue hosting the event.
In a luxury Rolls-Royce outside the Great Hall, Bai Qinghao embraced Fang Xinxin. He gently kissed her neck and looked at her with love.
From the front seat, Liu Li handed a sealed document envelope to Fang Xinxin. ¡°You previously conducted several DNA tests at Jia Ya Hospital. The results came out today. Boss instructed me to collect it on your behalf.¡±
Fang Xinxin received the document and tore open the envelope to read the results.
She finally understood the rtionship of every member in the Fang family.
Fang Manxue did not share any blood rtions with her father, Long Yifan. She was the blood daughter of Fang Ln and Long Shuhai.
As for Long Yifan and herself, they were both indeed father and daughter.
The most amusing matter was that despite Long Shuhai¡¯s ims of being their uncle, he had no blood rtions with Long Yifan. He was an actual outsider!
As for Fang Ln and herself, they were not mother and daughter, but they were still rted by blood. The DNA results hypothesised that Fang Ln was likely her mother¡¯s twin sister.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this. Before she turned eleven, it seemed like her mother did bring up having a twin sister a few times. If she recalled correctly, this twin sister was named Fang Liyin.
Based on blood rtions, Fang Liyin would be her aunt. She had once asked why her aunt was never around.
However, the mention of her twin sister always left her mother in tears. She only said that Liyin was no longer alive and had requested her not to ask anymore questions.
Afterwards, she refused to give up and went to ask her father for more information.
At the time, her father had said that Fang Liyin had eloped with a man when she was fifteen.
Several years after the incident, she wrote a letter to her family and said that she was living poorly outside. The Fang family then learned that Fang Liyin had passed away due to an ident on a boat.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s grandparents had very poor health. Their young daughter had passed away at a young age and they were unable to even bring her remains home. This had left them depressed.
As they did not wish for her mother to be upset, and because this matter was of the past, no one ever mentioned Fang Liyin¡¯s matter at the Fang home.

Fang Xinxin never expected that her damn aunt, Fang Liyin, was pretending to be her mother!
She realised that Fang Liyin had officially entered the Fang family seven to eight years ago. That meant that her birth mother had been missing for nearly eight years...
In that case... where had her mother, Fang Ln, been all these years?
Fang Xinxin suddenly became frightened.
She was worried about the worst possible situation.
Bai Qinghao read the results with Fang Xinxin and came to know of the truth behind the Fang family.
As he took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s paleplexion, he easily guessed her worries...
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± He opened his arms and held her tightly in his embrace. He spoke with some heartache in his voice. ¡°I¡¯ll immediately send someone to investigate Fang Ln¡¯s whereabouts..¡±
Fang Xinxin shifted closer into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms and leaned her head against his shoulder. Her voice was slightly broken. ¡°Bai Qinghao, will my mom be okay?¡±
Fang Liyin was pretending to be the female owner of the Fang family. In order for her to secure this position, she must have been scheming over a long period of time.
It was very likely that the real Fang Ln was already...
Bai Qinghao was not good atforting others. He also did not wish to lie to her. Thus, he responded heavily. ¡°No matter what happens, I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡±
¡®Just as you said, I¡¯ll spend my entire life doting on you and loving you.¡¯
¡°Uu...¡± She could not control her tears anymore. ¡°You horrible man. You¡¯re not even willing to lie to me. Tell me that my mom will be fine, that she¡¯s waiting somewhere to return home to me!¡±
She knew very well that Bai Qinghao could not bring himself to lie to her precisely because he loved her very much.
¡°Xinxin, Xinxin!¡± Bai Qinghao called her name and kissed her tears away in heartache. ¡°I¡¯m here. I¡¯m with you.¡±
As Fang Xinxin¡¯s cries turned softer, he lifted his hands and tried to wipe her tears away.
¡°My brother has the right to know the truth.¡± Fang Xinxin reached for her phone and took a photo of the DNA results. She then sent it to Fang Shaohua through WeChat and wrote a long message exining the truth about Fang Liyin.
She sent the same message to her good friend, Sun Jiamu.
Several minutester, Fang Shaohua gave her a call. The moment she answered, Fang Shaohua spoke urgently. ¡°Third Sister, where are you? I¡¯lle right now!¡±
Bai Qinghao spoke up coldly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble you. I am here to apany my fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°These are separate matters. Bai Qinghao, is there a need to be jealous of me?¡± Fang Shaohua sounded clearly unhappy. ¡°Xinxin must be very unhappy right now. The Fang family has been eaten up by three greedy wolves. We need to clean up our home.¡±
¡°I¡¯m the only person in Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart. what right do you have to make me jealous?¡± Although Bai Qinghai said so, in truth, he still minded the twenty years of sibling rtionship Fang Xinxin shared with Fang Shaohua. This was especially due to Fang Shaohua¡¯s ambiguous feelings regarding her. ¡°I will handle the Fang family¡¯s matters. There¡¯s no need for you to do anything.¡±
¡°You...¡± Fang Shaohua wanted to continue.
But Bai Qinghao cut him off and reminded coldly. ¡°You¡¯re currently a criminal. If you appear in front of those thieves, it¡¯ll be obvious that you¡¯re on bail for medical reasons despite beingpletely healthy. You¡¯ll only cause unnecessary trouble for Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°Brother, it¡¯s alright.¡± Fang Xinxinforted him. ¡°I¡¯ll handle the Fang family¡¯s matters well. I won¡¯t let them take anything more that doesn¡¯t belong to them. None of them will be able to escape the consequences they deserve! Don¡¯t worry.¡±
She ended the call after that.
On the other side of the call, Fang Shaohua smiled bitterly.

Chapter 580: We’re Still A Family
Chapter 580: We¡¯re Still A Family
A man, who had lost his freedom, did not have the right to give his beloved woman any happiness to speak of, much less the right to stand up for her.
At the entrance of Yuhua District¡¯s Great Hall, Sun Jiamu read the message from Fang Xinxin and was astonished over herplicated family background.
She was also frustrated at Fang Liyin¡¯s behaviour. Initially, she wanted to give her good friend a call to give her support.
However, she quickly noticed Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao seated in the Rolls-Royce parked nearby.
Sun Jiamu approached the car and heard Fang Xinxin end her call with Fang Shaohua. She nced at Bai Qinghao and said, ¡°Mr. Bai, please take good care of Xinxin.¡±
In this situation, it was better for her fianc¨¦ to apany her rather than her good friend.
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to tell me that.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless.
Fang Xinxin gave her a light smile. ¡°Jiamu, don¡¯t worry. No matter what happens, I¡¯ll be fine. I have something to settle. I¡¯m returning to the Fang home now.¡±
Sun Jiamu understood that her good friend was worried about her mother¡¯s safety, but was pretending to be strong.
Her heart ached for her but she could only nod helplessly.
Bai Qinghao instructed the chauffeur to head towards the Fang home.
Right then, Fang Xinxin received a new message: [Xinxin, could you give me Fang Shaohua¡¯s address? I¡¯ll visit him on your behalf.]
It was from Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin had previously mentioned Fang Shaohua¡¯s matters to her. Jiamu had believed that her elder brother was innocent and was rather sympathetic to his circumstances.
She deliberated over this and sent her the address at Hong Sheng District. She then added: [Thank you.]
[We¡¯re good friends. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me.]
Sun Jiamu responded quickly and sent her a sticker of two characters embracing.
...
At the Fang family¡¯s vi, ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ rushed forward the moment Fang Xinxin alighted from her car. ¡°You whor... you damned child, where have you been? I tried to call you only to realise that you have actually cklisted me. I was just about to go look for you. So you know to return home!¡±
Long Shuhai also approached her in anger. He put on the airs of an elder and began reprimanding her. ¡°Xinxin, how could you confess to Bai Qinghao in front of thousands of people? Don¡¯t you have any upbringing?¡±
¡°Your second sister just saw a doctor. She¡¯s permanently disfigured with no hopes of improving!¡± Fang Ln appeared especially unhappy as she vented. ¡°You were the one who did this, weren¡¯t you?¡±
The two of them criticised Fang Xinxin as her elders and had no idea of the consequences that they would soon face.
Bai Qinghao alighted from the car at this moment. The temperature in the yard instantly fell by several degrees, and ayer of frost seemed to form around them.
Just by standing there, his tall and broad-shouldered figure appeared especially noble. He instantly drew everyone¡¯s respect.
¡°C... CEO Bai!¡± Long Shuhai immediately lowered his head as if to kiss up to him. His expression immediately turned respectful. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you mention it before making a visit here?¡±
He had discussed this with ¡®Fang Ln¡¯. Since Manxue was thoroughly ruined, no matter how angry they were, they could only rely on Fang Xinxin to live well.
Of course, if Fang Xinxin refused to be their puppet, they would kill her!
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ also forced a smile. Her sharp, reprimanding tone, immediately dropped by several pitches. ¡°My son-inw, you¡¯re here. No matter what, I¡¯m still Xinxin¡¯s mother. Although there was some unhappiness between us, those are matters of the past. Regardless of everything, we¡¯re still a family.¡±

Chapter 581: His Own Home
Chapter 581: His Own Home
Bai Qinghao pursed his lips and smiled mockingly.
He had met countless shameless people, but not someone as lowly as these people were.
¡°CEO Bai, did youe to see me?¡± Fang Manxue had a surgical mask on as she rushed out of the Fang family¡¯s vi in agitation.
She wanted to throw herself into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms but noticed that six bodyguards had alighted from the SUV next to him. Their expressions were especially stern and their aura was intimidating. She did not dare toe closer.
She could only pause ten steps away from Bai Qinghao in hesitation.
She red at Fang Xinxin in hatred. Her harsh gaze was filled with murderous intent. ¡°You must have done something to my face. Why else would I be disfigured?¡±
Her gaze then became gentle as she turned to Bai Qinghao. She teared up. ¡°CEO Bai, Fang Xinxin caused me to be disfigured. You have to help me find justice. You have to!¡±
If he was willing to take pity on her, even the slightest bit of attention that fell from the gap between his fingers would be sufficient for her to live in wealth and glory for the rest of her life.
Before Bai Qinghao could respond, Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°Why should he find justice for you?¡±
A hint of humiliation shed past Fang Manxue¡¯s face.
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ rushed up instead. ¡°A woman¡¯s appearance is akin to her life. Manxue is Bai Qinghao¡¯s rtive and she has suffered a serious grievance. It¡¯s natural that he should help her.¡±
¡°What a good ¡®rtive¡¯! But since you guys believe I was the person who did this...¡± Fang Xinxin was expressionless. ¡°Do you think that my fianc¨¦ would interfere in this matter?¡±
¡°CEO Bai, you are the Bai family¡¯s sessor.¡± Long Shuhai¡¯s heart ached heavily for Fang Manxue¡¯s face. ¡°If the person who actually harmed Manxue is Fang Xinxin, you have to be fair and ce justice before family.¡±
¡°Hahaha...¡± Their words caused Bai Qinghao tough. However, his voice did not contain any warmth whatsoever.
Forget disfigurement, even if his Xinxin had killed someone, he would only ept the matter and protect her.
Long Shuhai and the others felt the scalp prickling ufortably. However, they couldn¡¯t fully understand Bai Qinghao¡¯s intentions.
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ gathered her courage and made an inviting gesture with her hand. ¡°My good son-inw, don¡¯t just stand there. Come in and have a seat!¡±
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to her as she stepped into the Fang family¡¯s vi..
This was the home which her father, Long Yifan, had bought for herself. She could enter it as she pleased.
Bai Qinghao did not even offer ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ a look of disdain. He followed Fang Xinxin into the Fang home¡¯s living room.
Long Shuhai, ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ and Fang Manxue followed them in.
There were a lot of fruits left on the table. Several of them were half-eaten.
Long Shuhai rushed to exin. ¡°CEO Bai, we ate something besides deep fried food, but ording to our contract, it¡¯s been a few days since the promised three months have concluded. It¡¯s no longer a problem for us to eat this.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Ln chimed in. ¡°My son-inw, you¡¯ve really tortured your mother-inw¡¯s taste buds badly over the past few months.¡±
Fang Xinxin nced around and scanned the vi¡¯s living room thoroughly.
She sighed internally. Fang Manxue¡¯s family of three had truly taken advantage of them for more than seven years.
A bodyguard ced a luxurious, hand-sewn cushion on the couch. Bai Qinghao took his seat like an emperor. His aura was intimidating.
Although he was seated and the Fang family¡¯s people were standing, they could nheless feel his powerful aura.
¡®Ln¡¯ knew that Bai Qinghao was only biased towards the cheap whore. She rushed to speak up. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re such a child. Why aren¡¯t you attending to CEO Bai?¡±
¡°This is my home, as well as Bai Qinghao¡¯s home.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°He doesn¡¯t need me to attend to him in his own home.¡±
Chapter 582: Who Disfigured Fang Manxue?
Chapter 582: Who Disfigured Fang Manxue?
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his frozen, cold heart felt moved again.
He was pleased by the fact that the ce which belonged to her was also his home.
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ nced at Fang Xinxin. From a closer distance, this cheap whore was even more beautiful than she had appeared on the television.
At the thought that her daughter, Manxue, was now permanently disfigured and could no longer be presentable, she really wished she could kill Fang Xinxin!
Long Shuhai had the same thoughts as Fang Ln. However, he was smart enough not to show it.
¡°Xinxin spoke very well.¡± Fang Ln put on the airs of the female owner of this ce. ¡°CEO Bai, feel free toe home frequently in the future. It would be even better if you decided to live here permanently.¡±
Bai Qinghao lit a cigarette and narrowed his cold and heavy eyes. He paid no attention to her.
Fang Xinxin scanned Fang Ln¡¯s family of three. ¡°Why do you guys believe that I was the one who disfigured Fang Manxue?¡±
Despite the surgical mask, it was clear that Fang Manxue¡¯s re was extremely fierce. She raised her voice to demand. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t you, who else could it have been?¡±
¡°We¡¯ve barely met recently.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°How could I have had the opportunity to do something like that?¡±
¡°Stop denying it. I know that you were the one who did this!¡± Fang Xinxin clenched her fists tightly in anger.
She looked just about ready to charge forward and hit Fang Xinxin.
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ spoke as though she was a mature and understanding mother. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Mom was wrong. My heart was aching too much for your second sister¡¯s face. To think that her beautiful face is ruined. Right now, you¡¯re our Fang family¡¯s only hope. Even if we¡¯re mad at you for ruining her looks, we won¡¯t me you for it.¡±
Fang Manxue was initially angry.
If Fang Xinxin¡¯s crime was confirmed, she wouldn¡¯t just me her. She would even kill her!
However, as she deliberated over it, she felt that Fang Xinxin definitely wouldn¡¯t admit to doing it.
Perhaps a softer tactic would guide her into confessing her wrongdoing. The crime of disfiguring someone was sufficient to send her into jail for several years.
After this matter was confirmed, even if Bai Qinghao wanted to protect her, the Bai family would be drowned by the negativements from outsiders.
¡°I haven¡¯t done it. Why should I admit to it?¡± Although Fang Xinxin did do this, she wasn¡¯t foolish enough to tell them so. ¡°Second Sister is clearly trying to wrong me.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin, stop denying it!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes widened in anger. ¡°My face was clearly disfigured by a medicine that can only be purchased in the ck market. You¡¯re the only person who knows I tried to use this on you...¡±
She realised that she had spoken too much and rushed to cover her own lips.
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his eyes immediately narrowed. His sharp gaze seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
Fang Manxue trembled. Her legs instantly felt weak.
Fang Xinxin however, appeared indifferent. ¡°Second Sister, you¡¯re already ruined. Go on. Why don¡¯t you continue speaking?¡±
¡°Fine!¡± Fang Manxue decided to go all out.
Even if her own scheme was to be revealed, even if this would guarantee her death, she would ensure that Fang Xinxin would go down with her. ¡°I was the one who added things into your medicine, I was the one who first thought to disfigure you. But you managed to avoid my scheme and you didn¡¯t use the medicine that I had tampered with. That is why you decided to take revenge on me. You found the same type of medicine and caused me to be permanently disfigured with it, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Indeed. Things were exactly as she said. However, Fang Xinxin was certain that Fang Manxue was recording their voices right now. ¡°Second Sister, did water enter your brain? I¡¯m more attractive than you by ten, no, by a hundred times. Why would I try to disfigure you? You must have offended someone and were schemed by them. This matter ispletely unrted to me.¡±
Fang Manxue did not expect her to still deny it. Her voice turned sharp. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re still refusing to admit it? I¡¯m going to kill you, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
She rushed forward like a mad woman and tried to scratch her face.

Chapter 583: Family Of Three
Chapter 583: Family Of Three
Fang Xinxin did not move but the bodyguard by her side immediately stepped forward and sent Fang Manxue flying with a kick.
Fang Manxue crashed limply against the ground like a broken doll.
She cut a sorry figure and began screaming. ¡°Mom, Fang Xinxin bullied me. Help me take revenge! Revenge!¡±
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ nced at the row of bodyguards behind Bai Qinghao. They all appeared especially intimidating. She did not dare to provoke them as she rushed to help Fang Manxue up. ¡°Alright, Manxue. You child, your sister already said that she didn¡¯t do it. So, we¡¯ll treat this as she said.¡±
Fang Manxue¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. She stood up in humiliation and stomped her feet. ¡°Mom!¡±
¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any overnight grudges between sisters.¡± Long Shuhai tried to y mediator. ¡°In the future, we will still have to rely on Xinxin for help.¡±
¡°It¡¯s one thing that you¡¯re refusing to help me. But you¡¯re even standing on her side!¡± Fang Manxue¡¯s re was as sharp as a pair of knives.
Fang Xinxin sat down by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side and indifferently began speaking. ¡°Second Sister, you should address him as ¡®Father¡¯. Perhaps this way, he would find the courage to openly stand on your side?¡±
Fang Manxue was dazed for a moment. She did not understand what these words meant?
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ and Long Shuhai both felt their hearts skipping a beat. Could it be that the whore had found out something?
¡°Third Sister, what nonsense are you speaking?¡± Fang Manxue raised her voice. ¡°How could I carelessly address someone as ¡®Father¡¯?¡±
Fang Xinxin brought a stack of photos out from her bag and carelessly tossed it on the ground. ¡°Take a look at this. Would it really be careless to address him as ¡®Father¡¯?¡±
These were photos of ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ and Long Shuhai sharing a bed.
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ could not argue her way out of this. ¡°Xinxin, Mom had already exined this matter to you. This only happened because I was too lonely. I¡¯ve let your father down, but I definitely won¡¯t do this again.¡±
She nced at Bai Qinghao, who appeared expressionless, and said carefully, ¡°Why did you bring this matter up in front of CEO Bai? When you marry into the Bai family in the future, they¡¯ll take advantage of this issue tough at you.¡±
Fang Xinxin asked in confusion. ¡°You¡¯re not my mother. Why would theyugh at me for this?¡±
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ turned pale. She was certain now that the whore knew something but continued to insist. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re going too far. Although there are some conflicts between the two of us, you can¡¯t go against your conscience and refuse to acknowledge your own mother!¡±
She continued seriously. ¡°We¡¯ve already done a DNA test at a public organisation. At the time, you were the one who chose the direction for us to head towards. The organisation was also randomly chosen. The results cannot be faked.¡±
Long Shuhai was covered in cold sweat. He chimed in. ¡°That¡¯s right, Xinxin. Don¡¯t be stubborn about this.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, Fang Xinxin is too ruthless and cold. She refuses to acknowledge even her own mother.¡± Fang Manxue added fuel to the fire. She wanted to ruin Bai Qinghao¡¯s good impression of Fang Xinxin. ¡°If you marry someone without conscience like her¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Qinghao raised his voice. His eyes were as sharp as knives.
Fang Manxue shrunk back in fear. She did not dare to speak up again.
Fang Xinxin could not help but apuse, as though to encourage them. ¡°Fang Liyin, Long Shuhai, Fang Manxue, the three of you are indeed a united family of three. Even at this moment, you¡¯re all working together to argue your way out of this.¡±
The moment ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ heard her real name, she understood that this was over. As someone who had seen all sorts of difficulties, she refused to back down. She maintained a fierce expression as she shouted. ¡°Xinxin, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about!¡±
Long Shuhai also tried to argue in fear. ¡°Xinxin ah, though your second uncle shouldn¡¯t have slept with your mother, but Manxue is definitely my elder brother¡¯s child¡¡±
Chapter 584: The Buried Truth
Chapter 584: The Buried Truth
¡°Enough.¡± Fang Xinxin patiently announced the end of their act. ¡°What fart of a Second Uncle are you, ¡®Long Shuhai¡¯? I should be addressing you as Yang Xueyao, shouldn¡¯t I?¡±
She brought out a stack of documents with a passport photo attached to the very first page, and mmed it on the coffee table.
The passport photo was of Long Shuhai¡¯s face, however the photo was a ck and white shot taken more than ten years ago.
¡°Let me tell you a story.¡± Fang Xinxin began indifferently. ¡°Many years ago, a couple named Fang Huaitian and Zhao Yun gave birth to a beautiful pair of twin girls. They named them Fang Ln and Fang Liyin. Since young, Ln was sensible and thoughtful. Her younger sister, Fang Liyin, however, was always disobedient. During her school days, she smoked, drank, fought and even caused trouble outside. Eventually, when she turned fifteen, she eloped with a gangster named Yang Xueyao. Due to this matter, Fang Huaitian and his wife were angered to the point where they disowned their daughter, Liyin. Five yearster, Fang Ln turned twenty-five and she married Long Yifan. They both adopted a boy named Fang Shaohua. As for Fang Liyin, she did not have a good life after eloping. She wrote letters on multiple asions to her elder sister seeking help. Her sister naturally lent her money behind their parents¡¯ backs. In the fifth year of her marriage, Fang Ln was pregnant. Unfortunately, it was a stillbirth.¡±
Fang Xinxin then brought an old hospital document out and ced it on the table. ¡°These are the records from Fang Ln¡¯s hospital visit that year.¡±
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Fang Ln was heartbroken over this. At the same time, her younger sister and Yang Xueyao had a daughter. Unfortunately, the two of them barely had enough money for themselves. How could they possibly raise a child? Thus, Fang Liyin sent her daughter to her elder sister for adoption.¡±
She had heard her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, mention this in the past. Her mother had indeed been pregnant that year. This was also why both of them had never suspected Fang Manxue¡¯s background.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Manxue, who appeared as pale as a sheet of paper. ¡°Fang Ln named her young sister¡¯s daughter Fang Manxue. Ever since then, Second Sister, you became my parents¡¯ child and led a blissful life.¡±
Fang Manxue fell down on the ground. ¡°How did you find out about this? How...¡±
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to her and continued. ¡°My parents have never lied to you about your birth. Thus, you always knew that you were not my parents¡¯ biological daughter. In fact, you even met Fang Liyin and Yang Xueyao secretly on multiple asions. Unfortunately, my elder brother and I did not know of this. Our parents were worried that we wouldn¡¯t treat you well if we knew about this. Thus, they kept this truth from us. In fact, among all of us, you received the best treatment in the Fang home.¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Fang Manxue raised her voice. ¡°What do you mean by the best treatment? Since Fang Ln imed she would treat me as her birth daughter, why did she still give birth to you!¡±
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ tried to stop her immediately. ¡°Manxue, what are you talking about?¡±
But Fang Manxue could no longer control herself. ¡°Mom, Fang Xinxin clearly already knows everything. What¡¯s the point in denying this any longer?¡±
When ¡®Fang Ln¡¯ heard this, her legs weakened and she nearly fell down.
¡°That¡¯s right, at this point, what¡¯s the use in trying to lie?¡± Fang Xinxin had a faint smile on her lips. ¡°Why weren¡¯t my parents allowed to give birth to me? Fang Shaohua is an adopted child. Fang Manxue, you also weren¡¯t their own child. My parents loved each other dearly and they only gave birth to me as a representation of their love. Were they out of line in doing so?¡±
Fang Manxue had no way of refuting this.

Chapter 585: The DNA Trick
Fang Xinxin then brought several DNA documents out and tossed them on the ground. ¡°These DNA tests clearly rify that Long Shuhai, oh, I mean Yang Xueyao, Fang Liyin and Fang Manxue are a true family of three.¡±
Fang Liyin refused to give in. ¡°Xinxin, we¡¯ve done a DNA test together. The results from that test rified that we¡¯re mother and daughter. I didn¡¯t do anything to tamper those results...¡±
¡°It¡¯s true that you didn¡¯t tamper with those results. However...¡± Fang Xinxin continued coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve already investigated this situation. Fang Liyin, you are identical twins with my mother, Fang Ln. Both of you were born with identical gic information. That is also why the DNA test concluded that you are my birth mother. However, despite sharing the same gic information at birth, these things will change given the experiences the both of you had. The problem is that in a small town, most of the equipment is less updated and they were unable to recognise these small changes. Such a situation can be considered as a mistake that only has a one percent chance of uring.¡±
Fang Xinxin could not help but apud her. ¡°Fang Liyin, you were indeed very smart. Although you allowed me to decide the direction to head to at the time, the ce you chose was an isted organisation located away from the city. The organisation had been relying on old equipment and that exins the results they gave us. Fang Liyin, you relied on this one percent chance to solidify your lies. Unfortunately, I took a few strands of your hair to Jia Ya Hospital. and did a new DNA test with their updated equipment. And the rest of you...¡±
She red at Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai. ¡°Your shameful connection to each other was finally revealed! Do you still wish to argue against this? If you do, I¡¯ll reward each of you with one hundred rounds of caning! Go ahead and continue to get caned until you¡¯re willing to admit it!¡±
¡®Long Shuhai¡¯, no, Yang Xueyao...
¡®Fang Ln¡¯, who was actually Fang Liyin, as well as Fang Manxue...
The three of them were especially pale and had to hold onto one another to keep standing.
Fang Xinxin sat back down on the couch and leaned back weakly with tears in her eyes. ¡°Seven years ago, when I was eleven, I suddenly felt that my mother seemed to have changed. Three years ago, my father had aa and was hospitalised, I suddenly had a second uncle, Long Shuhai, who appeared out of nowhere to upy the Fang home.¡±
Bai Qinghao listened as his fianc¨¦e brought up the Fang family¡¯s history. He held her hand tightly as though to give her strength.
As he watched her, his gaze was filled with heartache.
Fang Xinxin suddenly asked in resentment. ¡°Tell me, were you the ones who put my father in aa? Where is my mother right now!¡±
Given that the truth was seen through, Fang Liyin could no longer deny this any longer. She spoke up urgently. ¡°Xinxin, listen to me. I definitely didn¡¯t harm your father. His health was poor and a stroke left him in aa. As for your mother, Ln, she is my sister. How could I possibly hurt her? Eight years ago, she suddenly disappeared and none of us could find her. My brother-inw, Long Yifan, was especially heartbroken. I saw that he had thoughts of taking his own life. That is why I decided to pretend to be my older sister and to enter the Fang home.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°You speak as though it¡¯s the truth. Why would my father keep such a big matter from me?¡±
¡°He kept it from Shaohua and you because he was worried the both of you would be heartbroken.¡±
¡°My father and mother¡¯s rtionship was very strong. If he did not mistake you to be my mother, he would never have lived for so many years with you!¡±

Chapter 586: Fang Liyin’s Crimes
Chapter 586: Fang Liyin¡¯s Crimes
¡°Xinxin, back then I was genuinely afraid that your father would take his own life. I had no choice but toe to the Fang home. Your father was the one who misunderstood me to be your mother.¡± Fang Liyin insisted. ¡°Initially, I thought that this was a good method to keep him at ease while I searched for your mother.¡±
A hint of heartbreak appeared in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that after seven to eight years, your mother remains missing.¡±
¡°My father is now in aa. Isn¡¯t it easy to be able to exin this however you would like to?¡±
Long Shuhai spoke up to help her. ¡°Xinxin, your aunt is speaking the truth. She truly had no choice but toe to the Fang home. Firstly, she was afraid your father would take his own life if he failed to find your mother. Secondly, Shaohua, Manxue and you were all very young. It was necessary for someone to take care of the three of you.¡±
¡°Speaking of which, my mom is your family¡¯s benefactor.¡± Fang Manxue spoke up arrogantly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, when my mom first came to your home, Fang Shaohua was already almost eighteen. That was fine. However, you were only eleven at the time. You owe my mother a debt for bringing you up.¡±
¡°Hmph, bringing me up?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°You whore. You sure are good at elevating your mom¡¯s status. Fang Liyin is the prime suspect for my mom¡¯s disappearance. Your family of three also took over our Fang family¡¯s inheritance and ate up all of the money in my father¡¯spany. You evennded my brother in jail. Is this the so-called debt you speak of?¡±
¡°...¡± Fang Manxue did not dare to speak up again.
Fang Liyin trembled slightly. ¡°Xinxin, you can¡¯t speak carelessly. I¡¯ve never harmed my sister. The reason your father¡¯s money was depleted is because I wasn¡¯t very good at managing thepany...¡±
¡°You bought several luxury branded cars worth hundreds of thousands. Every time you visited the mall, you spent recklessly on clothes and make-up. All the purchases you made were always from expensive brands.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke coldly. ¡°Is this what you mean when you say that you were poor at managing thepany? Aside from spending the Fang Corporation¡¯s money, you¡¯ve never done anything to manage it. You didn¡¯t just empty out the Fang Corporation¡¯s finances. You even used up the money meant for the projects that were still in-progress when my father copsed.¡±
¡°Since the money has been used up, we won¡¯t be able to return it.¡± Fang Liyin insisted shamelessly. ¡°Xinxin, no matter what, I¡¯m still your aunt. I only used a bit of your family¡¯s money. What about it? Even if my sister was...¡±
Fang Xinxin listened patiently as she paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Even if my sister wasn¡¯t missing, she would definitely lend me the money if I was struggling.¡±
Fang Liyin put on a loving attitude. ¡°Xinxin ah, no matter what, you¡¯ve addressed me as ¡®Mom¡¯ for over seven years. Your fianc¨¦ is also the wealthiest man in the country. Forget about the fact that we¡¯ve used up the Fang family¡¯s money. Besides...¡±
She said sternly, ¡°Your elder brother, Fang Shaohua, is in jail because of his own crimes. This is unrted to me!¡±
¡°So far, it seems like my brother¡¯s imprisonment is unrted to you.¡± Fang Xinxin shifted her sharp gaze onto Yang Xueyao. ¡°Do you still remember Wang Liangping, the thief from three years ago?¡±
Yang Xueyao was covered in cold sweat. ¡°I... I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about.¡±
¡°You gave Wang Liangping a sum of money to help him escape to Mysia. He has now been arrested.¡± Ya Lun had returned to the country and handed Wang Liangping over.
He even voluntarily offered to change the statement from the previous interrogation.
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Wang Liangping has already confessed to his crimes and admitted that you were the person behind the entire matter three years ago. You were the one who instructed Wang Liangping to steal my phone. You then sent Fang Shaohua a message while pretending to be me, instructing him to head to room 416 in Fu Chun Hotel. You first drugged Sun Fangfang, who was in the room, andmited the crime. After my brother was tricked into the room, you knocked him out and ced him on the bed with Sun Fangfang, who was heavily injured.¡±

Chapter 587: List Of Crimes
Chapter 587: List Of Crimes
Yang Xueyao shouted in agitation. ¡°I asked Wang Liangping to steal your phone and to send your brother a message in your name, but I didn¡¯tmit this crime. You¡¯re ndering me!¡±
¡°Wang Liangping is an experienced offender. You paid him a lot of money just to steal a phone and to send a message like that? He immediately grew suspicious of you and was afraid that his actions would lead to serious trouble. He followed you secretly and recorded the footage of youmitting the crime.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze was ruthless. ¡°Yang Xueyao, go on and try to argue for yourself when you¡¯re in jail!¡±
When Yang Xueyao heard this, he fell on the ground with a pale expression. His entire body felt weak. ¡°It¡¯s over. Everything is over.¡±
¡°Shuhai... Xueyao, you... how could you havemitted such a crime! You even framed Shaohua for it?¡± Fang Liyin reprimanded him while pretending to be angry. ¡°No matter what, Shaohua is still my sister¡¯s adopted son.¡±
¡°Enough of that.¡± Yang Xueyao spoke mockingly. ¡°Back then, you were the one who asked me toe up with ways to deal with Fang Shaohua. That Fang Shaohua was too outstanding and hepleted all his work impably. It was impossible to find the slightest w in thepany. Besides, his body was also strong and he even won several underground wrestling battles. He could handle up to ten gangsters on his own. The method I used was the only one that could prevent Fang Shaohua from climbing onto the Fang Group¡¯s director¡¯s seat. Back then, weren¡¯t you very thankful to me fornding him in prison? Why are you changing your words now?¡±
¡°You, you...¡± Fang Liyin¡¯splexion was extremely poor.
Fang Manxue appeared enraged. ¡°Dad, how could you betray my mother right now...¡±
¡°Did you think that Fang Xinxin would let the both of you off for swallowing the entirety of the Fang family¡¯s inheritance?¡± Yang Xueyao appeared as though he was ready to face death. ¡°Right now, there¡¯s no difference whether or not I expose her involvement in this matter.¡±
¡°It seems like my fake Second Uncle is the most insightful.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
She reached for the cup of tea which the bodyguards had prepared for Bai Qinghao and took a sip. ¡°Fang Manxue, I¡¯ve calcted the entire sum that your family has taken from mine and will be suing all of you for fraud. The sum of money isrge enough for the three of you to remain in jail for a long, long time. Yang Xueyao alsomitted the crime of framing my elder brother, Fang Shaohua. He can count on being imprisoned for the rest of his life. Likewise, considering that you added harmful material into my medicine that could permanently disfigure me, you¡¯ll have to deal with two charges as well. Just like him, you¡¯ll spent the rest of your life in jail.¡±
When Fang Manxue heard this, she fell down onto the ground murmuring to herself. ¡°I can¡¯t ept this, I can¡¯t ept this...¡±
She could not handle a loss like this. It wasn¡¯t supposed to turn out like this. She was supposed to be Madam Bai!
However, by this stage, there was no longer any opportunity to turn things around.
She red at Fang Xinxin with murderous intent and jealousy. Unfortunately, she could not kill her.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone changed suddenly. She smashed the teacup in Fang Liyin¡¯s direction. ¡°You evil witch, where is my mother? Tell me, where did you hide my mom?¡±
¡°Ah!¡± The teacup smashed against Fang Liyin¡¯s forehead and left her bleeding. She cried out in pain. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I really don¡¯t know! She was already missing when I came to the Fang home!¡±
Bai Qinghao saw that the Fang family¡¯s mess was just about sorted. He waved his hand. ¡°Send these three garbage to jail. ¡®Take very good care of them¡¯.¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡± The bodyguard behind him responded.
¡°No! Third Sister, will you please let me off? I know I was wrong!¡± Fang Manxue begged pitifully.
Fang Liyin¡¯s gaze was filled with fear. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m your aunt. You can¡¯t do this to me!¡± With the way things appeared, they were going to be jailed for the rest of their lives!

Chapter 588: Let’s Not Ever Separate Again
Chapter 588: Let¡¯s Not Ever Separate Again
Only Yang Xueyao understood that they hadpletely lost this time. His head was loweredpliantly.
Fang Xinxin dearly wished that she could skin them alive. How could she possibly let them off?
Three bodyguards dragged Fang Liyin, Yang Xueyao and Fang Manxue into the SUVs parked in the front yard. They were sending them off to enjoy ¡®free meals¡¯ for the rest of their lives...
Bai Qinghao wrapped his fianc¨¦e in his arms. His cold, heavy gaze was filled with heartache. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t worry. The professionals will interrogate them. Fang Liyin will definitely confess and tell them your mother¡¯s location.¡±
Sheid in his arms weakly as tears rolled down her cheeks. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I really didn¡¯t expect that there would be a den of wolves hiding in my family.¡±
¡°Everything is over now. I promise you that they will never be able to do anything to you again.¡± Bai Qinghao was filled with regret.
Due to his poor rtionship with Xinxin in the past, he had neglected to notice the Fang family¡¯s suspicious matters.
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
Fang Xinxin scanned the enormous Fang family¡¯s vi. Only herself and Bai Qinghao were left in this ce. ¡°In the future, let¡¯s not ever separate again, okay?¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Bai Qinghao held her tightly and gave her a kiss.
...
At the same time, on the twentieth storey of a particr apartment building in Hong Sheng District, Sun Jiamu stepped out of the elevator with a fruit basket. She approached an apartment door and pressed the doorbell.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
There was no response.
She refused to give up and continued to press the doorbell for ten more times. Still, no one came to the door.
Jiamu knew very well that Fang Shaohua was definitely at home.
Thus, she raised her voice to shout. ¡°Fang Shaohua, open the door! I know that you¡¯re inside!¡±
Still, there was no response.
¡°Xinxin was the one who asked me toe see you!¡± Only after saying this, did he finally open the door.
She nced over and saw an extremely refined-looking man standing there.
His nose was thin and sharp, while his brows were well-shaped. His gaze was bright and pure, yet at the same time, they appeared as deep as an ocean. His five features were perfect to the point where there weren¡¯t any ws to speak of.
He wore a white dress shirt apanied with a pair of ck suit pants. The simple outfit did not conceal his graceful and dark aura.
With one nce, Sun Jiamu found herself deeply attracted to him!
This waspletely different from Ma Dongkai, who she did not feel any chemistry with.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart began elerating without control. She could barely take her eyes away from him.
Compared to her agitated state, Fang Shaohua was expressionless. He did not even look directly at her. He asked indifferently. ¡°You are... Sun Jiamu?¡±
¡°Handsome, you¡¯re really amazing. You were able to guess my name even though it¡¯s the first time we¡¯re meeting. Xinxin must have mentioned me to you.¡± Sun Jiamu offered her right hand. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s graceful features were filled with cold indifference. He had no intention of shaking her hand. ¡°Do you need something?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I mention it earlier? Xinxin asked me toe see you.¡± Sun Jiamu retracted her hand with some embarrassment. She smiled.
¡°You¡¯re done seeing me. You can leave now.¡± He expressionlessly moved to close the door.
Sun Jiamu noticed a hint of misery in his gaze. She did not consider that he could be heartbroken, and only assumed that he was extremely affected by his time in prison.
She had heard about Fang Shaohua¡¯s history. Since young, he had been a hardworking and intelligent child. After he began working, he was even more outstanding than ever.
A capable man like him had actually been framed into being imprisoned for three years. Although he was on bail for medical reasons right now, he still had another nine years of sentence toplete.
Her heart strangely began aching.

Chapter 589: Soulmate
Chapter 589: Soulmate
She pretended not to notice the distant look in Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze as she stepped into his apartment. She ced the fruit basket on the dining table. ¡°I¡¯m here on behalf of someone else. I have to carry out my task well. I¡¯m not done looking at you yet.¡±
She scanned the room. It was decorated with a modern taste. The kitchen and living room were pressed closely in this three room apartment, and he even had a balcony.
¡°This ce isn¡¯t too bad.¡± She praised generously.
In fact, she was ady from a wealthy family. Normally, she wouldn¡¯t even praise her own family¡¯s vi.
She wanted to scan the ce further. However, the moment she turned around, she mmed into a human wall. She lifted her head to see that Fang Shaohua was ring at her darkly. ¡°Could you please scram now?¡±
She rubbed her aching nose. ¡°Hey, why are you like this? You¡¯re not a gentleman at all. I came to visit you with good intentions.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need your good intentions.¡±
¡°Xinxin was the one who asked me toe visit you!¡± She emphasised.
Xinxin... the moment Fang Shaohua heard her name, he felt a hint of heartache.
Sun Jiamu watched as he felt silent and felt that he truly doted on his sister very much. ¡°Um, Mr. Fang, although we¡¯re strangers, considering my rtionship with Xinxin, I¡¯m sure the two of us are somewhat acquainted now. You should wee me with a cup of tea, shouldn¡¯t you?¡±
She then sat down on his couch. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I won¡¯t leave until I¡¯ve had a cup of tea.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was unhappy. ¡°Is there any point to this?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Sun Jiamu nodded. As she stared at his handsome face, she added meaningfully. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±
This handsome man appeared so serious, she could not help but tease him a little.
A hint of rage shed past Fang Shaohua¡¯s face. He stared at her for a second and reached for the disposable cup on the table. He poured some tea from the pot and mmed the cup before her heavily.¡±Hurry and scram once you¡¯re done with this!¡±
At the thought of how they had framed him for harming and raping a woman, he grew angry. He absolutely hated women!
Aside from Xinxin, all the women in the world were trash!
The handsome man had poured her a drink. Sun Jiamu paid no mind to his anger and happily began drinking. However, she took care to drink especially slowly.
A small sip and another small sip...
With her speed, was it even possible to finish this cup of water by tonight?
Fang Shaohua was also a patient person. He took in her actions and did not rush her. ¡°Leave on your own when you¡¯re done.¡±
He was giving Xinxin face by not chasing her out.
He then headed back into his study room. He opened up the websites of variouspanies and began analysing their financial data.
The financepany he had registered under Xinxin¡¯s name was developing rapidly. The more he failed in terms of love, the more he needed to work hard.
Otherwise, if he had absolutely nothing to his name, how was he supposed topete with Bai Qinghao?
No matter what, he wanted to snatch his Xinxin back!
The moment Fang Shaohua began working, he forgot about everything else. He did not even notice that he was being watched.
Sun Jiamu stood by the ajar study room door and watched as he sat gracefully before the study table. His expression was especially focused and his gaze seemed to carry a hint of hurt apanied with strength.
His lips were slightly pursed and his long eyshes cast a light shadow on his face. He was extremely charming.
Before she knew it, she was staring at him dazedly.
She had the strong feeling that this man was the soulmate she had been looking for!
Xinxin previously mentioned that Fang Shaohua had always stayed away from women ever since he was young.
It seemed that... he was still a virgin!
Sun Jiamu felt that if a man like him genuinely fell for someone, he would definitely be very devoted.

Chapter 590 - Go Home
Chapter 590: Go Home
Due to Fang Shaohua¡¯s difficult past, it was impossible for him to take the initiative. She was an intelligent girl. She would work hard to fight for the things she wanted.
Thus, Sun Jiamu decided that she would pursue Fang Shaohua.
Before Fang Shaohua knew it, it was midnight. He stood up from his seat and saw that Sun Jiamu was standing by the study room¡¯s door. He frowned. ¡°Why are you still here?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± She carelessly found an excuse. ¡°I¡¯m not done with that ss of water.¡±
She had ced it down mid-way.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was cold and indifferent as he spat out. ¡°Scram!¡±
Sun Jiamu dug her ears and stared at him in disbelief. ¡°Mr. Fang, what did you just say? It¡¯s midnight right now. You¡¯re asking a girl like me to leave at this hour?¡±
¡°Are you leaving or not?¡±
She harrumphed coldly. ¡°No. I¡¯m going to stay here tonight!¡±
Fang Shaohua lifted his brows and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t me me then.¡±
She swallowed and stared at him with some fear. ¡°You¡ what are you going to do?¡±
Could it be that he wanted to ¡®eat her up¡¯?
Although things were progressing rather quickly, since she had set her mind on him, she would ept it.
Fang Shaohua reached for the box of tissues on the table and approached Sun Jiamu. He wrapped two pieces of tissues around her wrist and began dragging her out.
Sun Jiamu was deeply hurt. ¡°Fang Shaohua, what do you mean by this? You have to wrap my wrist in tissues before touching me. Do you find me dirty?¡±
She had grown up as a wealthy youngdy. How could she possibly ept such a treatment?
She was extremely angry!
¡°You asked for this.¡± He forcefully dragged her towards the door and grabbed the fruit basket along his way to toss it out of the door.
He wanted to push her out. However, Sun Jiamu held onto the door, refusing to leave.
Fang Shaohua could only forcefully tug her hand away. There was no way she couldpete with his strength and she could only watch as her fingers left the door one by one.
Sun Jiamu also became angry. She directly jumped into Fang Shaohua¡¯s arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. She hung on his body the way a ko would.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was extremely dark. ¡°You stupid woman, you¡¯re really shameless!¡±
¡°You dared to bully me! I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Fang Shaohua tugged on her with force and gritted his teeth angrily. ¡°Get off!¡±
In contrast with his anger, Sun Jiamu suddenlyughed. ¡°I refuse.¡±
Fang Shaohua was stifled with anger. This was his first time meeting such a shameless woman. He felt the urge to beat her up and toss her out.
However, she was Xinxin¡¯s only friend. She was also visiting him out of good will.
Even if he did not wish to give her face, he should give Xinxin some face.
Additionally, he had never raised his hand against a woman. He could only ask angrily. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡±
¡°It¡¯s toote right now. It isn¡¯t safe for me to go home. I want to stay here.¡± She blinked at him pitifully.
Normally, most men would soften their attitudes when a woman spoke to them this way.
But Fang Shaohua disliked women. Furthermore, his heart already belonged to someone. Thus, he did not feel anything besides distaste. ¡°This isn¡¯t appropriate.¡±
¡°If something happened to me on my way home¡¡± Sun Jiamu softened her tone. ¡°Won¡¯t you feel guilty?¡±
Fang Shaohua was extremely ufortable with the way her soft body was pressing against his. He hardened his expression. ¡°No.¡±
¡°How would you exin it to Xinxin then?¡± Sun Jiamu insisted. ¡°If something happens to me, Xinxin will feel guilty!¡±
Xinxin was his weakness. Fang Shaohua rubbed his forehead helplessly and gave in. ¡°Get off me. I¡¯ll send you home.¡±
Chapter 591 - Your Girlfriend
Chapter 591: Your Girlfriend
Sun Jiamu realised that it was impossible for her to stay here any longer today.
She sighed internally. She had thought if she had stayed here tonight, she would have been able to seduce him. After all, the water closer to the pavilion enjoyed the best moonlight.
She was extremely worried that she would not seed.
Nheless, there was plenty of time. There was no need to worry about him running away.
She negotiated with him. ¡°Alright. I have a request.¡±
¡°You even dare make requests of strangers?¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s frown seemed to grow heavier. He clearly did not wish to agree to whatever she had to say.
¡°What do you mean by strangers? I already said that we¡¯re acquaintances.¡± Sun Jiamu emphasised. ¡°I won¡¯t make things difficult for you. Just¡¡±
She pointed at the fruit basket he had tossed out of the door. ¡°You have to ept that fruit basket before sending me home. Otherwise¡¡±
Fang Shaohua did not have the patience to deal with her. He was worried that she would stir up more trouble and rushed to agree. ¡°Fine.¡±
Sun Jiamu, finally then unwillingly, released his neck.
Earlier, when she was hanging onto him, she had noticed that his body was especially firm. It waspletely unlike that of those weak intellectuals.
Xinxin hads previously mentioned he used to participate in underground wrestling to earn his pocket money¡
She nced at him secretly. Thankfully, he didn¡¯t raise his hand against her earlier. Otherwise, she would have been doomed. She wondered if she could withstand even a single punch from him!
She picked up the fruit basket and ced it back on the dining table. Fang Shaohua had already left the apartment and was waiting by the elevator entrance. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
She shut the door for him and approached his side to ask. ¡°Fang Shaohua, do you hate me?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± The cold and indifferent man responded without any hesitation whatsoever.
¡°¡¡±
Sun Jiamu really wanted to p herself. She shouldn¡¯t have asked this. ¡°What do you hate about me?¡±
¡°Everything.¡±
¡°¡¡±
She was stifled with anger and raised her voice to ask. ¡°Fang Shaohua, are you mentally ill?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Stay further away from me in the future.¡± He could not be bothered to say anything more to her.
Sun Jiamu really wanted to let her temper flow out. However, as she took in his handsome side profile, she recalled that this man was still wrongfully charged with a crime. The only reason he was able to remain out of jail for the time being was because he was on bail for medical reasons. It wasn¡¯t even clear when he could be cleared of the wrongful usations.
Her heart ached for him.
If she had gone through the same experiences, she was certain she would be as temperamental as he was.
She decided not to be petty with him.
The two of them headed to the underground carpark. Fang Shaohua stopped in front of a BMW SUV. He opened the car door and took the driver¡¯s seat.
Sun Jiamu nced at the brand new car and took the passenger¡¯s seat. ¡°Your car isn¡¯t too bad. It must cost at least a hundred thousand dors.¡±
Xinxin previously mentioned that he had bought himself a new car. The one he owned in the past had long been sold by Fang Liyin, that whore of a woman.
Fang Shaohua drove towards the vi in Qian Shan Wan. It was midnight and there were very few cars on the road. He drove quickly towards her home.
¡°Drive slower.¡± She wanted to spend more time with him. She watched as he headed for her home. ¡°You didn¡¯t even ask for my address. Xinxin must have mentioned it to you.¡±
He remained silent as he lowered the car window. Then, he lit a cigarette.
He took a drag and released white, wispy smoke into the car. It slowly escaped through the window.
Sun Jiamu took in his gloomy expression and found her heart aching. She really wanted to take care of him. ¡°Fang Shaohua, do you have a girlfriend?¡±
He remained silent.
¡°You don¡¯t have to answer.¡± She continued. ¡°Xinxin said that you¡¯re single.¡±
¡°You¡¯re twenty-five this year, aren¡¯t you? Your height seems to be above 1.87 metres¡¡±
¡°What kind of girls do you like?¡±
She carried on the monologue while he remained quiet. It was as though he did not wish to waste his breath on even a single word.
She did notin about this. All of a sudden, she threw him a heavy bomb. ¡°Fang Shaohua, how about I be your girlfriend?¡±
Chapter 592 - Believe In Him
Chapter 592: Believe In Him
Fang Shaohua, who was pretending she did not exist, finally gave her a strange look. ¡°Do you know what you just said?¡±
¡°I do.¡± She nodded her little head. ¡°I want to be your girlfriend.¡±
If only Xinxin had been the one to say these words to her.
He was not moved in the slightest. ¡°Are you threatening me with the circumstances if I reject a rich youngdy like you? Did you think you could get me easily with my pitiful circumstances? And then kick me aside when you grow tired of me?¡±
¡°Hey, you can¡¯t think of me that way.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression turned heavy. ¡°I won¡¯t make false advances towards anyone I¡¯m not genuinely interested in. Besides, I¡¯m not someone to hurt other people¡¯s feelings.¡±
¡°Ha¡¡± He smiled coldly as a hint of misery shed past his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m someone who still has unfinished time. Who knows when I¡¯ll have to be locked up for another nine years? I don¡¯t need you to waste your youth on me.¡±
Although he appeared indifferent, she could hear the misery in his tone. ¡°Don¡¯t undervalue yourself?¡±
¡°Did you think I would be grateful to you for showing your sympathy to a criminal like me?¡± This only caused him to hate her more. ¡°I don¡¯t need anyone¡¯s pity!¡±
Sun Jiamu took a deep breath. She did not wish for any misunderstandings to get created between them. ¡°I admit that I do have some sympathy for you. That is because you were framed. Anyone would be upset at the thought of a talented young man suffering such experiences. However¡¡±
She took in his charming appearances and did not lie to him. ¡°You also have a lot of advantages that are attractive to me. I think that you¡¯re really handsome. Your resilience despite your painful circumstances is also very moving. Besides, you were released for medical reasons and you haven¡¯t actually been cleared of your charges. Yet, you didn¡¯t give up on yourself and you only grew stronger. Who else could have established apany under circumstances like yours? And to purchase a car like this? Of course, I¡¯ve seen countless good men. What attracts me to you is your resilient character.¡±
If she had not said this, he wouldn¡¯t have known that he had that many advantages. Fang Shaohua was dazed for a moment. His deste heart also felt slightly moved. A momentter, he asked indifferently. ¡°Why do you believe that I was framed?¡±
¡°Xinxin has shared with me about the details of your crime.¡± Moreover, he had rejected her firmly, a wealthy youngdy who had sent herself into his arms.
She continued. ¡°How could you possibly have gone to meet a woman from a nightclub? Besides, the victim, Sun Fangfang, even tried to seduce you beforehand. If you were genuinely interested, there waspletely no need for you to take her forcefully. Xinxin said that it must be Fang Liyin and her family who did this to you. I believe in my good friend. After getting to know you, I¡¯ve alsoe to believe in you.¡±
She patted him on the shoulder and nced at him resolutely. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely be cleared of the charges.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± He wasn¡¯t an unreasonable person. Aside from Fang Xinxin, Sun Jiamu was the first person to believe he was wronged.
Very quickly, the car arrived at Qian Shan Wan¡¯s vi entrance. Sun Jiamu alighted the car with some hesitation. ¡°Um, if there¡¯s anything I can do to help you, feel free to let me know.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Fang Shaohua never liked owing anyone favours.
¡°In that case, thank you for sending me home.¡± Before she could finish speaking, he stepped on the elerator and the car quickly left her sight.
¡°Hey¡¡± Sun Jiamu stared at the car¡¯s rear lights and stomped her feet in anger. ¡°You haven¡¯t told me if you want me to be your girlfriend!¡±
She brought her phone out and searched through her messages for Fang Shaohua¡¯s phone number. Previously, before visiting him at Hong Sheng district, she had asked for his address.
Xinxin had been worried that she wouldn¡¯t be able to find him. Thus, she had shared his phone number with her.
Chapter 593 - Clearing Up The Fang Family Villa
Chapter 593: Clearing Up The Fang Family Vi
[Fang Shaohua, won¡¯t you let me be your girlfriend? I believe that your name will definitely be cleared. Even if it¡¯s otherwise, even if you¡¯re locked up again, I¡¯ll wait for you to be released.] She wrote a message to Fang Shaohua.
She returned to the Sun family¡¯s vi andid down on her bed, waiting for his response.
At the Hong Sheng District, Fang Shaohua had just alighted from his car when he received a message from an unsaved number¡
He dearly hoped that this message was from Xinxin.
If that was the case, he would immediately agree. Such a request from her would fill him with joy.
However, he knew with certainty that Xinxin was currently with Bai Qinghao. There was no way she would think of him right now.
The person who sent this message was definitely Sun Jiamu.
His gaze was dark as he responded: [No. Let¡¯s not waste each other¡¯s time.]
Sun Jiamu waited for quite a while at home. As expected, Fang Shaohua had rejected her. However, she was not upset.
[I won¡¯t give up. From now onwards, I¡¯m your girlfriend. I won¡¯t ept any refusals!]
Fang Shaohua responded very quickly this time: [You¡¯re crazy. Stay further away from me!]
[Previously, didn¡¯t you already mention that you were crazy? What a coincidence! We¡¯re a match made in heaven, hahaha!] This message was not acknowledged in any way.
¡
The next morning, Fang Xinxin woke up in one of the guest rooms in the Fang family¡¯s vi.
Bai Qinghao noticed someone watching him and opened his eyes. The moment he saw her, his gaze turned doting. ¡°Good morning.¡±
¡°En.¡± She smiled.
He recalled the way she had confessed to him in front of thousands of audience the previous evening and murmured. ¡°All my thoughts, dreams and feelings are full of you. You are the person I love and yearn for the most. In this life, I only wish to spoil you, to love you and to share all my time with you!¡±
She warmly responded. ¡°Aren¡¯t those the words I used to confess to you?¡±
He pressed a kiss against her forehead. ¡°Those are also the words I wish to say to you. I¡¯m not good at expressing myself, Xinxin. But I wish for you to know that you¡¯re more important to me than my own life.¡±
She was deeply moved. ¡°The same goes for me.¡±
¡°Xinxin¡¡± He embraced her tightly. He felt as though he now possessed the entire world.
Sheid in his arms and quietly returned his embrace, savouring the sweet moment between them.
Bai Qinghao recalled the Fang family¡¯s circumstances and felt his heart aching for her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely locate your mother for you.¡±
¡°Thank¡¡± She was about to express her gratitude.
¡°You don¡¯t ever have to thank me for anything.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± She nodded.
After waking up, Fang Xinxin fired all the helpers in the Fang home. Initially, Bai Qinghao wanted to send the people from the Yu Ting Vi over. However, she refused him without any hesitation.
This was because the Fang home was not only her home. It was also her elder brother¡¯s home.
Her parents had always treated Fang Shaohua like their own son.
Her brother was currently wronged, but there was a possibility that he would return to the Fang home. She believed he did not wish to have Bai Qinghao¡¯s people here at the time.
She ced a recruitment advertisement online, seeking two bodyguards, a chef, a gardener and two helpers.
Very quickly, there were responses. She chose six suitable people and the Fang family¡¯s people were quickly reced.
Bai Qinghao did not like for the Fang home to be littered with Fang Liyin, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai¡¯s things. Hemanded the staff to toss away all their belongings.
Chapter 594 - Finally Cleared Name
Chapter 594: Finally Cleared Name
But Fang Xinxin focused her thoughts on making good use of the trash till thest moment. She felt that their things were too expensive and it would be a waste to throw them away. Thus, she sold them to a second hand store and earned a small amount of money.
The next afternoon, Bai Qinghao instructed Butler Zhao to refurnish the Fang home thoroughly. His choices were naturally very expensive.
Fang Xinxin wanted to pay Bai Qinghao back for it.
She turned to see that he was seated on the brand new, imported leather couch drinking a cup of coffee. His expression was cold and stern, and his aura was impably graceful and noble.
His powerful presence made for an imposing sight.
She did not dare to mention giving him money.
Sigh! He had more money than he could possibly need. If she tried to offer him some, first of all, he would have absolutely no need for it. Second of all, he would definitely be angry.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over this and gave up on the thought.
Sun Jiamu gave her a call right then. She answered the call but before she could speak up, Sun Jiamu began. ¡°My dear, why didn¡¯t you tell me that your elder brother, Fang Shaohua, is so handsome?¡±
Fang Xinxin wanted to arrogantly respond, ¡®How could my brother possibly be ugly?¡¯
But then she nced at Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold expression and was worried that he would get jealous. Thus, she could onlyugh awkwardly. ¡°He is average-looking I suppose.¡±
¡°What do you mean by average? Fang Xinxin, your eyesight is so poor! Your brother is really, really handsome!¡± Sun Jiamu refused to give up.
¡°Haha.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°It seems like you have a good impression of my brother.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Sun Jiamu continued. ¡°I feel that Fang Shaohua really isn¡¯t too bad. I wonder when his name will finally be cleared? Although I know there isn¡¯t much I can¡¯t do, but if you ever need my help, just let me know.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± Fang Xinxin was happy at the mention of this matter. ¡°Thewyer has already umted sufficient evidence of my brother¡¯s innocence. Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, his case will be re-evaluated in court. After the judgement is given, my brother will be able to regain his freedom!¡±
¡°Really? That¡¯s great! Which court will it be at? I¡¯ll go listen.¡±
¡°The City Centre¡¯s Yuhua Court.¡±
Fang Xinxin shared the address. She did not think too much about Sun Jiamu¡¯s joyful voice.
After all, Sun Jiamu was the daughter of a wealthy family. Although Fang Xinxin felt that her brother was extremely outstanding, to other people, he was still a man who had been in jail.
Thus, she did not think too much about Sun Jiamu¡¯s attitude towards Fang Shaohua. She assumed that her good friend was only happy for her.
Bai Qinghao waited for her to end the call before he tugged her soft body into his arms. He spoke heavily. ¡°Do you really think that Fang Shaohua¡¯s appearance is average?¡±
Fang Shaohua was indeed very attractive. He suspected that his fianc¨¦e was lying to his face.
¡°Don¡¯t worry about my brother¡¯s appearance. In any case, to me, you¡¯re the most attractive.¡± Fang Xinxin pressed a kiss on his cheek.
Bai Qinghao enjoyed this feeling very much and did not harp on the matter anymore.
¡
At 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon, at Yuhua District¡¯s court.
Towards the end of court, all the people present stood up. The judge firmly announced. ¡°In conclusion¡ the evidence clearly points to Yang Xueyao as the perpetrator against the victim, Sun Fangfang. Yang Xueyao¡¯s crimes will be separately handled. Fang Shaohua is to be cleared of his charges and released immediately!¡±
Fang Xinxin had invited a lot of reporters to the event beforehand. She wanted the entire world to know that her brother was innocent.
There were also a lot of people watching this scene.
The moment the session ended, the audience immediately began apuding loudly.
In particr, Fang Xinxin and Sun Jiamu¡¯s palms had turned red from the way they were pping.
¡°Mr. Fang, could you share with us how you¡¯re feeling right now?¡± One of the reporters lifted the microphone in Fang Shaohua¡¯s direction.
¡°I¡¯ve finally cleared my name. This is all thanks to my third sister¡¯s efforts.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze shifted past the crowd of people tond firmly on Fang Xinxin¡¯s figure.
Chapter 595 - Sun Fangfang’s Apology
Chapter 595: Sun Fangfang¡¯s Apology
Sun Jiamu noticed that he did not give her even a single nce. A hint of disappointment shed past her eyes.
However, as she remembered the way Xinxin had worked hard for his case, as well as their strong sibling rtionship, she felt that this was only natural.
As Xinxin had spoken to all of the reporters beforehand, none of them asked any ufortable questions. Most of them seemed happy on his behalf and spoke to him kindly.
At that moment, the victim, Sun Fangfang, approached him. She bowed towards Fang Shaohua. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Fang. I was confused about the situation and misidentified you. It was my fault that you were wrongly imprisoned for three years.¡±
Everyone was no longer suspicious of Fang Shaohua¡¯s innocence.
This was because Wang Liangping had recorded the entire process of Yang Xueyao hurting her.
Fang Shaohua dearly wished that he could kill Sun Fangfang.
She had been hurt and raped and she had lost the ability to conceive. It was true that she was very pitiful.
But what about him?
Three years ago, her insistence forced him to suffer three years of imprisonment!
The time he had lost was for naught. His future had been ruined and he had to suffer everyone¡¯s criticism. His time in prison had also been difficult. All of these grievances¡ who could make them right for him?
Honestly speaking, there was no way he could have any thoughts about someone like Sun Fangfang. Just the thought of touching her left him disgusted!
His charges had just been cleared and the media was watching them. Fang Shaohua did not wish to make a scene. He only responded coldly. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past now.¡±
Fang Shaohua stepped past Sun Fangfang to approach Fang Xinxin. He lowered his gaze to take in her stunning beauty.
Her five features were perfect and her skin was especially fair. The most attractive of them all was her bright gaze. Her eyes seemed to sparkle more beautifully than the stars in the night sky could. He struggled to take his eyes away from her.
He was finally free and could openly pursue her now!
This was his Xinxin. He dearly wished that he could embrace her right now!
Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao¡¯s ruthless figure stepped between him and Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao took in the concealed emotions in Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze and felt the urge to send him back into jail.
However, if he did so, Xinxin would be heartbroken.
He held Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoulders firmly and spoke coldly. ¡°Fang Shaohua, pay attention to your words and actions.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry about that.¡± Fang Shaohua deliberated if it was appropriate to make his intentions obvious.
As he watched Xinxin lean into Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace, he suddenly understood that if he dered his intentions at this point of time, he would only cause more trouble for her.
Bai Qinghao had seen through his thoughts and deliberately reminded him of so.
Thest thing he wanted to do was to make things difficult for Xinxin.
Besides, how could he possiblypete with Bai Qinghao right now?
The only option was to endure this and to be more powerful. Then, he would have the right topete against Bai Qinghao!
Sun Jiamu ran before him and smiled happily. ¡°Fang Shaohua, I¡¯m so happy for you!¡±
She did not expect his name to be cleared so quickly.
Thankfully, she had already confessed her feelings yesterday and made it clear that she would be his girlfriend despite his crimes. She was thankful she had managed to leave a good impression on him.
However, she knew very well that Xinxin had been working on his case for a long time. He had already been waiting for this for quite some time.
Fang Shaohua did not even nce at Sun Jiamu. It was as though he could only see Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin was worried that other people would notice his thoughts. She rushed to say. ¡°Brother, Fang Liyin and her family have already been sent to jail. Let¡¯s return home.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he frowned slightly.
He did not like that his fianc¨¦e was family with Fang Shaohua.
However, the two had grown up as adopted siblings and were indeed a family.
Chapter 596 - Welcome Back Home
Chapter 596: Wee Back Home
¡°En.¡± Fang Shaohua nodded.
The group then returned to the Fang family¡¯s vi together.
Fang Shaohua stood in the frontyard and took in the sight of the home which he had been yearning for so long. His gaze gradually turned misty.
He had been forced to leave home for three years.
Today, he was finally back!
Bai Qinghao had urgent matters to settle at work. Only Sun Jiamu and Fang Xinxin had apanied him back.
Fang Xinxin stood by Fang Shaohua¡¯s side and took in his tears. She spoke in heartache. ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve really suffered.¡±
Shaohua heard this and felt his withered heart turning sour. He could no longer control his urge to bring Xinxin into his arms. He swallowed his tears and said, ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯ve also suffered. Your brother is back. In the future, I¡¯ll protect you well.¡±
¡°Brother!¡± Xinxin also teared up.
Despite the feelings her brother had for her, he had never once hurt her in any way.
In her heart, he was always her brother.
She did not feel ashamed of their embrace. It was but a simple hug between siblings.
Sun Jiamu took in the sight of them embracing and was deeply moved by their words. Uuu, she also wanted a brother like this.
However, she did not wish to be Fang Shaohua¡¯s sister. She wanted to be his wife.
The three of them stepped into the vi where the six helpers were already waiting.
Fang Xinxin introduced them to Fang Shaohua and mentioned. ¡°All the previous helpers were Fang Liyin¡¯s people. I¡¯ve fired all of them. These six people have been newly hired by me. Brother, what do you think? Should we hire more people?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Fang Shaohua scanned the extravagant furniture at home. ¡°Everything here was reced?¡±
Fang Xinxin wanted to say that Bai Qinghao purchased all the stuff. However, she was worried that her brother would be upset. Thus, she only nodded. ¡°En. I didn¡¯t like using the things Fang Liyin and her family used. I sold all their possessions to a secondhand store. I¡¯ll give you the moneyter.¡±
¡°Keep it for yourself.¡± He shook his head.
He dearly wished that he could give everything he owned to her. How could he possibly take her money?
Besides, whilst helping him with his case, she had travelled all over the ce and even hired people to look for Wang Liangping. She had also spent a significant sum on thewyers fees.
Fang Xinxin felt that it wasn¡¯t right to be calctive between siblings. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll keep the money for myself.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gazended on Sun Jiamu. He coldly looked at her. ¡°You can leave now.¡±
¡°Brother, what are you talking about!¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned heavy as she spoke with some anger. ¡°Jiamu is my guest. My home is half her home. If you do this again, I¡¯ll be angry!¡±
¡°Did you hear that?¡± Sun Jiamu smiled. ¡°Mr. Fang, this ce is just like my home. I n to stay here for a long time.¡±
The water closer to the pavilion enjoyed better scenery. This way, there was no need to worry that she would fail to seduce him.
Fang Xinxin immediately weed her. ¡°Sure, Jiamu. You can stay here for as long as you like.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gazended on Fang Xinxin. ¡°What about you? You¡¯ll also stay at home, right?¡±
He knew that she had been living in the Yu Ting Vi these days.
¡°Um¡¡± Fang Xinxin began awkwardly. ¡°Brother, I¡¡±
Sun Jiamu saw that her good friend was in a difficult spot. She decided to cut straight to the point. ¡°As an elder brother, haven¡¯t you been keeping up with the news about your sister? Right now, her rtionship with Bai Qinghao is extremely good. They are always by each other¡¯s side. You shouldn¡¯t try to split them up. Just as they say, ¡®One would rather tear down a temple than to break a couple apart¡¯¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Fang Shaohua could not help but raise his voice.
Xinxin was his!
Chapter 597 - Dote On Her
Chapter 597: Dote On Her
Sun Jiamu was frightened by the way his expression suddenly turned scary. ¡°Why are you being so fierce!¡±
Fang Xinxin tried to mediate between them. ¡°My brother has been in a bad mood for the past few years. Don¡¯t mind him.¡±
Jiamu recalled that he had been imprisoned for three years and her heart ached for him. ¡°I won¡¯t be offended by this.¡±
Fang Xinxin then gave Fang Shaohua a stern look. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, if you show Jiamu an attitude without a good reason, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore!¡±
¡°Hey¡ that¡¯s too much.¡± Sun Jiamu rushed to tug on her friend. She did note to ruin their sibling rtionship. ¡°The two of you have been separated for three years. You should take care of each other.¡±
Fang Shaohua took in his sister¡¯s gaze for several seconds and understood that she was being serious. He immediately gave in. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t ignore me.¡±
Since young, he had doted on her the most and always gave into her. The thing he feared most was making her unhappy.
Xinxin¡¯s heart instantly softened. ¡°As long as you promise not to be fierce to Jiamu.¡±
Fang Shaohua shot a frustrated re at Sun Jiamu and then fell silent.
He did not wish to tell his third sister that this woman had bad intentions and was trying to seduce him.
Fang Xinxin saw that he did not protest and took it as a silent agreement.
¡°About Mom¡ Does Bai Qinghao have any evidence?¡± No matter how much Fang Shaohua hated Bai Qinghao, he had to admit that Bai Qinghao had the highest chance of locating Fang Ln.
Xinxin shook her head. ¡°Fang Liyin refuses to say anything. He said he¡¯ll try his best to find out about her as soon as possible.¡±
A hint of worry shed past Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes. He said seriously, ¡°Mom will definitely be alright.¡±
His adopted mother had always treated them equally. Ever since they were young, he always had all the things that Xinxin had. At times, they even gave him things that they did not give Xinxin.
To him, his adopted parents, Long Yifan and Fang Ln, were his birth parents.
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded her head seriously. However, she could not help but have a bad feeling about the whole matter.
Fang Shaohua asked her about several details. For example, aside from the DNA test, how did she learn that his adopted mother had a stillbirth that year? And that she adopted Fang Manxue right after?
Xinxin had obtained the medical records from the incident. She had also visited their old neighbours from back then.
After considering the things their parents previously said to them, she eventually figured out the truth.
In the evening, Shaohua, Xinxin and Jiamu had dinner together.
Xinxin then left as she had things to do. Fang Shaohua did not wish to be alone with Sun Jiamu at home. He also borrowed an excuse to leave.
The moment he left, Jiamu felt that there was no point in staying in the empty Fang vi and could only leave.
¡
Fang Shaohua drove his BMW SUV to follow behind the extravagant Bugatti Veyron.
Fang Xinxin was seated in the car ahead of him. Her chauffeur was Bai Qinghao¡¯s employee, Tong Yu.
He did not wish to follow Xinxin. However, he had a lot of words he wished to say to her alone.
He was also worried that she would return to the Yu Ting Vi¡
He did not want to see her with Bai Qinghao any longer. However, he did not know how to begin talking about this.
Thus, he could only quietly follow her.
He saw that the car was not headed in the direction of the Yu Ting Vi. It seemed like his third sister truly had other matters to settle.
Fang Shaohua could not help but feel ashamed for thinking that she was headed to the Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s car stopped outside the prison facility.
He was too familiar with this ce. He had once been locked up here for three years.
This ce was like a shadow that he could not erase.
Fang Xinxin alighted from the car and stood, as though waiting for something.
Chapter 598 - Repay The Debt
Chapter 598: Repay The Debt
Fang Shaohua noticed that she was looking towards him and understood that she was waiting for him.
Thus, he could only thicken his skin and stop his car before hers. He alighted and rushed to exin. ¡°Third Sister, I didn¡¯t mean to follow you¡¡±
¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have to exin.¡± She smiled. ¡°You¡¯re just concerned about my safety. But don¡¯t worry, I will take good care of myself.¡±
He hesitated to speak.
She was intentionally taking away the opportunity for them to have a frank conversation, and to avoid the matter from that day. However, he did not wish to shirk it the way she did.
She calmly continued. ¡°Fang Liyin has already been interrogated. However, she was extremely stubborn and refused to talk about Mom¡¯s location. She said she wouldn¡¯t say it even if it costs her life and insists that when she arrived at the Fang home, Mom was already missing.¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re here to¡¡± Fang Shaohua took in her beautiful features. ¡°Against someone like Fang Liyin, appealing to her logic and feelings is useless.¡±
¡°I have a method to force her to speak the truth.¡± She lifted the bag of clothes and the make-up kit in her hands.
¡
In a dark, simple prison cell, Fang Liyin was covered in wounds and remained shrunk in the corner.
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s ¡®special care¡¯, she had already been beaten up to the point where she was on herst breath. Furthermore, it had been days since shest had any food or water.
All of a sudden, a cold breeze swept through the cell and left her trembling.
There were no windows in this prison cell. How could there possibly be a breeze?
She nced towards the steel bars in confusion.
With a creaking noise, the steel gate to the cell actually opened on its own.
Heavy footsteps could be heard entering her cell. She tried her best to scan the ce but did not see anyone.
Could it be¡ a ghost?
Fang Liyin instantly turned pale.
¡°Hahaha¡ hahaha¡¡± A stern and resentful female¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°My sister, I¡¯m here to see you!¡±
¡°You¡ who are you?¡± She asked carefully.
¡°Yinyin, how did you forget your own sister?¡± The resentful voiceughed. ¡°Your sister has been so lonely in the underworld. Quick,e and apany me!¡±
¡°Ah, you¡¯re Fang Ln!¡± Fang Ln was the only person who addressed her that way.
Fang Liyin suddenly shrieked in fear. ¡°Someone,e! There¡¯s a ghost! There¡¯s a ghost!¡±
However, it was as though this eerie prison cell had been forgotten. No matter how much she raised her voice, no one came to her aid.
¡°Yinyin, don¡¯t be afraid¡¡± A freezing cold hand suddenly touched Fang Liyin¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s time. Your sister is only here to pick you up for our reunion¡¡±
Fang Liyin clearly felt the freezing cold sensation against her skin. However, the space before her waspletely empty. There wasn¡¯t anyone present. If this wasn¡¯t a ghost, what could it be!
She trembled and said, ¡°Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have killed you. Please let me off!¡±
The air seemed to stop moving for a moment. Fang Ln suddenly appeared out of thin air. She was dressed in a red dress which she often wore in the past.
Her hair covered half of her face messily. However, her pale whiteplexion could still be seen. ¡°Why? I took such good care of you that year. I adopted your daughter and gave you so much money. Why did you kill me!¡±
Fang Liyin watched as the ghost appeared and nearly lost her voice. She shrunk backwards in fear and trembled against the wall. ¡°Sister¡ I¡ I¡ that year, I owed too much money and was forced into a corner. You helped me to repay several debts, but you refused to help me again. If I didn¡¯t kill you, I wouldn¡¯t have gotten the money to repay my debt¡¡±
Chapter 599 - Confession
Chapter 599: Confession
She then began crying in fear. ¡°I had so many gambling debts and I was jealous of you for having such a good husband. He was loaded with money while my Yang Xueyao was full
of ws. I really had no choice. Please let me off. I was blinded with greed!¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t just take my life. You didn¡¯t even take proper care of my body¡¡± Fang Ln appeared to be muttering resentfully.
Fang Liyin immediately responded. ¡°I¡¯ll definitelye up with a way to return to the Fang family¡¯s storeroom and retrieve your body from beneath the ground. I¡¯ll bury you well and give you a proper ce to rest!¡±
¡°You should have already done so that year!¡± The voice no longer sounded as frightening as it did before. Instead, it sounded angry and criticising.
¡°That¡¯s because Fang Xinxin was living in the storeroom and I was afraid that something would go amiss, and she would find out¡¡± Fang Liyin responded before she noticed something wrong.
Fang Ln¡¯s voice now sounded different and very much familiar. She raised her voice. ¡°You¡¯re Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
¡®Fang Ln¡¯ brushed her hair back to reveal her true appearance. She was actually Fang Xinxin. ¡°Fang Liyin, you¡¯vemitted so many heinous acts. I didn¡¯t expect you to be actually afraid of ghosts.¡±
¡°You pretended to be a ghost to trick me!¡± Fang Liyin finally reacted.
¡°That¡¯s right, Yinyin.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°My mom shared everything with you, didn¡¯t she? It¡¯s clear from the fact that you knew she often brought me to the graveyard when I was young, and the way I know she addressed you as ¡®Yinyin¡¯.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning gaze was filled with hatred. She dearly wished that she could cut Fang Liyin into a thousand pieces. ¡°You actually killed my mother and buried her in the storeroom where I lived for seven years!¡± The thought of this left her covered in goosebumps.
¡°Who asked her to stop helping me?¡± Fang Liyin suddenly turned resentful. ¡°I was her sister yet she watched as the debt collectors backed me into a corner without offering any help!¡±
¡°You admitted that she had helped you multiple times with your debts. You were greedy and even murdered someone, yet you dare to im that you were right!¡± Fang Xinxin clenched her fists tightly and delivered a harsh kick against her neck. Fang Liyin immediately lost her voice in pain. She started to cry silently.
She wanted to tell someone that Fang Xinxin was a monster who could turn invisible.
Unfortunately, the extreme pain in her throat left her unable to speak.
Fang Xinxin had taken away her ability to speak!
¡°I¡¯ve already recorded the things you said earlier. Your death sentence is here. Be prepared to die.¡± Fang Xinxin controlled the urge to kill her as she turned to leave the dark prison cell.
Inside the prison break room, Fang Shaohua rushed forward the moment his third sister appeared. ¡°Did you find anything?¡±
Initially, he had wanted to go in with her. However, she refused and he could only wait outside.
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. It was although she had lost all her strength. She fell sitting on the chair.
Fang Shaohua took in her paleplexion and guessed the answer. Still, he carefully asked. ¡°Then¡ our mom?¡±
Fang Xinxin handed the recording pen, which she was holding, to him. He had just begun ying the recording when Bai Qinghao stepped into the breakroom. ¡°Xinxin, why didn¡¯t you inform me beforeing here!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao¡¡± She stood up and rushed into his arms.
When Fang Shaohua saw this, he was very disappointed. He would never be the person she looked towards for support.
However, his attention was suddenly drawn towards the recording pen. After Fang Xinxin pretended to be a ghost, Fang Liyin¡¯s words could be heard loud and clear:
¡°Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have killed you. Please let me off!¡±
Chapter 600 - The Body
Chapter 600: The Body
Fang Shaohua staggered backwards. His adopted mother, Fang Ln¡ was actually dead!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned heavy. He embraced Fang Xinxin tightly. He was thankful that he could be by her side at this moment.
He wanted to tell her not to be upset. However, her mother had passed away. How was she supposed to be happy?
He had a thousand words to say, but he could only murmur softly. ¡°Xinxin¡¡±
Inside the break room, there were police officers apanying them. After hearing the entire recording, several of the police officers who were involved in the case felt that Fang Liyin waspletely inhumane!
That night, a female corpse was dug out from beneath the Fang family¡¯s storeroom ground. It had rotted to a significant degree.
As the corpse was wrapped in stic wrapping and the ground was sealed with a thickyer of cement, the horrid smell did not escape the ground.
Bai Qinghao originally did not wish for his fianc¨¦e to witness this scene. However, she was insistent.
Fang Xinxin watched as her mother¡¯s corpse was dug out from beneath the storeroom where she had lived for more than seven years!
Her tears fell endlessly.
It turns out her mother had always been apanying her in this room. She had suffered all alone beneath the ground.
Yet she had always been unaware.
¡°Mom!¡± Fang Xinxin tried to rush towards the corpse. However, Bai Qinghao embraced her tightly and prevented her from going near.
The corpse had rotted to a significant degree and it wasn¡¯t suitable to approach it.
The dead had already left the world. It was better to ensure the wellbeing of the living.
Fang Shaohua approached his adopted mother¡¯s corpse in misery. He was simrly stopped by a police officer. The officer warned. ¡°Please do not touch the crime scene!¡±
¡°Xinxin, you have to be strong!¡± Fang Shaohua turned to see that his sister was crying miserably. He also teared up silently.
He struggled to imagine the trauma she now had to live with after living with her mother¡¯s corpse for seven years.
Bai Qinghao thought the same. The heartache left him deeply in pain. However, there was nothing he could do besides loving Xinxin more from now onwards.
As the Fang family¡¯s vi was now a crime scene, it was temporarily sealed. They could only return to it after the case was closed.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s saliva was retrieved for a DNA test with the corpse. She then returned to the Yu Ting Vi with Bai Qinghao.
Although Fang Shaohua did not wish for her to leave, he understood that only Bai Qinghao could give her thefort she needed right now. Thus, he did not stop her.
He then returned to his own apartment in the Hong Sheng District.
Bai Qinghao sealed off all news regarding the discovery of Fang Ln¡¯s corpse. Aside from several officers involved in the case, the public waspletely unaware of this matter.
Yu Ting Vi.
Fang Xinxin stood in the main bedroom¡¯s balcony. Her gaze was deste as she stared at the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s stunning and vast backyard garden. She was overwhelmed with heartbreak.
Bai Qinghao embraced her from behind, holding her firmly in his arms. His heart was aching for her. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t be too upset. Auntie is resting in heaven right now. She wouldn¡¯t wish to see you like this.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. My mom has always doted on and loved me the most.¡± Fang Xinxin forced a smile despite her paleplexion. However, her smile was filled with sorrow. ¡°When I was young, she once said that she hoped I would spend my whole life in happiness.¡±
¡°You have Auntie¡¯s blood in your body. Right now, what you can do is to live well and spend each day happily. This way, she will be able to leave this world without any regrets.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded heavily and turned around to press her face against his chest. Her tears soaked his expensive, white dress shirt.
However, he paid no heed to it. He only wished that she never had to suffer something like this again.
¡°I¡¯m slightly thankful that my father is in aa.¡± Her voice was gloomy., ¡°This way, he will not know that my mom is no longer around.¡±
Chapter 601 - Sister-in-law?
Chapter 601: Sister-inw?
Her father loved her mother dearly. She was worried that he wouldn¡¯t take the news well if he found out.
Previously at the hospital, her father had teared up. Although he did not regain consciousness, the doctor said that once in a while, it was possible her father could hear them speaking.
In order to prevent her father¡¯s condition from worsening, she instructed her brother not to mention their mother¡¯s passing in front of him.
Bai Qinghao was typically cold and ruthless. Even if the sky copsed, it wouldn¡¯t cause him to frown.
However, his fianc¨¦e¡¯s pain caused his heart to ache terribly.
The only thing he could do right now was to apany Xinxin and protect her constantly.
The next morning, they received a call from the police, informing them of the results of the DNA test between Xinxin and the corpse which they had dug out from the Fang home. It was confirmed that the deceased was Fang Xinxin¡¯s birth mother, Fang Ln.
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s interference, the Fang family¡¯s case was being handled rapidly.
Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were charged with attempted murder, fraud and for nting false evidence. They were sentenced to lifetime imprisonment and were not allowed to appeal for a shorter time.
Fang Liyin on the other hand, was charged for multiple charges including murder. She was given a death sentence.
On the day that Fang Liyin¡¯s death sentence was carried out, the family¡¯s vicious acts were finally exposed through the media.
Fang Ln¡¯s actual remains were properly buried in a graveyard in the outskirts of the city centre.
As some time had passed, Fang Xinxin¡¯s hurt from losing her mother gradually eased a little.
Throughout this period of time, Sun Jiamu had been reporting to Fang Shaohua¡¯s apartment everyday. When she saw the news about Fang Liyin¡¯s death sentence, she rushed to give Fang Xinxin a call. ¡°My dear, forgive me. I¡¯ve only just learned that your mother passed away.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± On the other side of the phone, Fang Xinxin sounded at ease. ¡°Fang Liyin is already dead. My mother will be able to rest peacefully now. I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t wish to hear words offort from anyone, so I wasn¡¯t able to tell you about my mother when the news first broke.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Sun Jiamu knew that this sort of pain only worsened with other people¡¯sfort. Besides¡ Xinxin had lived in the room where her mother¡¯s corpse was buried for more than seven years. Considering the trauma that she would have gone through, it was amazing that she made it out of this unscathed.
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Besides, Bai Qinghao has been guarding closely by my side recently. I¡¯m strong and I¡¯ve already recovered a lot.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about your brother, either.¡± Sun Jiamu began with some embarrassment. ¡°My dear, I¡¯ve been visiting your brother every single day. A few days ago, I noticed that his mood was especially poor, but I didn¡¯t realise that I apanied him through this difficult time by ident.¡±
Fang Xinxin was surprised. She rushed to ask. ¡°My dear, you¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I have feelings for your brother.¡± Sun Jiamu decided to be honest. ¡°I¡¯m trying to pursue him. However, he keepsing up with ways to get rid of me. Do you know, I¡¯ve been visiting his ce everyday, but he kept trying to chase me out all this while. If I hadn¡¯t insisted that the apartment belongs to you and that I¡¯ve already received your permission to visit the Hong Sheng District, he wouldn¡¯t have given up. Thankfully, he no longer tries to keep me out. He just treats it as though I¡¯m invisible. I hope you won¡¯t me me for clinging onto him using you as an excuse.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t me you, Jiamu. I¡¯m really happy.¡± Fang Xinxin sounded agitated. ¡°I really, really hope things will work out for you and my brother!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Sun Jiamu was also happy. ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯m going to be your sister-inw for sure!¡±
¡°That¡¯s a promise.¡± Fang Xinxin thought about it and continued. ¡°Jiamu, in fact, I bought the apartment in Hong Sheng District with the savings my brother previously had. I spent over a hundred thousand dors. The apartment is also registered under his name. He doesn¡¯t know this because I made the decision to buy the apartment for him. He believes that I have rented that apartment for him for ten years.¡±
Chapter 602 - Adopted Siblings
Chapter 602: Adopted Siblings
¡°You did well, my dear. Property prices have been rising recently. Fang Shaohua really made a good deal on this.¡± Sun Jiamu suddenly thought of something. ¡°You and your brother are really close. He gave you so much money at a go.¡±
¡°¡¡± Fang Xinxin fell silent for a moment.
She did not wish to tell Sun Jiamu that her brother had feelings for her. She was worried that Sun Jiamu wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it.
There were certain things that should be left unsaid between friends. Otherwise, it would only cause hurt.
Jiamu was an especially good girl. Perhaps one day, her elder brother would really fall for her. Besides, she hoped that her brother¡¯s feelings for her could stay hidden forever.
After a few seconds, Fang Xinxin found a suitable excuse. ¡°Oh, my brother gave me the money to help him with his case. You know that I spent a lot of money onwyer fees and for hiring professionals to help me locate Wang Liangping. Since I had enough money on my own, I decided to help my brother with it.¡±
In fact, this was also the truth.
If she did not have the money to help her brother, that sum would definitely have been prioritised for clearing his name.
Sun Jiamu did not suspect anything. ¡°You siblings are really close. Fang Shaohua is so lucky to have a sister like you.¡±
¡°He¡¯ll be even luckier if he marries you. My brother is an introvert and doesn¡¯t tend to take the initiative. My dear, you have to work hard!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m full of motivation!¡±
The two of them chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
Jiamu deliberated over this and decided not to tell Fang Shaohua that the Hong Sheng district was registered under his name. Otherwise, it could reignite his efforts to chase her away.
Fang Xinxin had alreadypleted the make-up exams for the sses she previously flunked. She managed to score the highest in the entire school year every single time.
Time had flown by and a year had passed. She was now a Year 3 student.
Fang Xinxin rarely visited school. However, her grades were good and Bai Qinghao was also protecting her. Thus, no onemented on her absence.
On this day, Fang Xinxin was sunbathing in the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s yard. Bai Qinghao sat by her side and thoughtfully peeled an apple for her.
She received it from him and took a bite. As she soaked in his doting gaze, she felt especially blissful.
Bai Qinghao brought her into his arms and pressed a kiss on her cheek. ¡°Xinxin, I have to make a trip to thepany.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡± She waved her hand.
The period after her mother¡¯s burial, he had guarded closely by her side, refusing to leave for even a moment. Although a year had passed, he still stayed constantly close to her. She was deeply moved by his actions.
¡°You have to be obedient at home,¡± he instructed with some worry.
She lifted her chin and watched as he departed. Her gaze was filled with yearning.
She was growing more and more clingy. She did not wish to separate from him for even a moment.
The sunlight was bright and its golden rays seemed to envelop the entire city. However, in the next moment, dark clouds were forming.
It seemed to hint that Fang Xinxin¡¯s peaceful days were about to be interrupted.
She stood up and returned to the vi¡¯s living room.
She reached for the remote control and clicked on to see the television broadcasting a particr news:
[The Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter, Bai Jingrou, was actually the powerful Long Group¡¯s Director¡¯s daughter. The Long Group had finally found its sessor!]
When Fang Xinxin saw this news, her pupils shrunk for a moment. She clenched her fists tightly.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s deceased uncle did not have the ability to conceive. However, he had two adopted children. They were Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou.
In other words, Bai Chenxi and Bai Qinghao were adopted siblings.
Once she married into the Bai home, these two people would have to address her as ¡®sister-inw¡¯.
Chapter 603 - Foolish Actions Of The Past
Chapter 603: Foolish Actions Of The Past
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin had first suffered a miscarriage before losing her sight and eventually bing partially paralysed.
There was no clear evidence that Bai Jingrou was behind all this. However, after having experienced life once, she deliberated over these matters greatly and felt that Bai Jingrou was the most suspicious candidate.
The Bai family was firmly guarded. There were many matters that could only be done by the people inside.
Furthermore, Bai Jingrou was especially frightening because she was capable of hypnosis. Although she appeared kind and virtuous, in fact, she was much harder to deal with,pared to Fang Manxue.
The Long Group¡¯s family n had more than a hundred years of history behind it and was renowned. The Long Group itself was a global enterprise with countless businesses under its gship name. When it came to wealth and power, it was second only to the Bai family.
Although the Long Group was enormous, it was on the verge of decay.
Nheless, the Long Group¡¯s sessor and youngdy was a good match for the Bai family.
The Long Group¡¯s current director, Long Jingyuan, originally had three sons. However, his eldest son passed away as a child. His second son, Long Guochen, also lost his life in a recent car ident. His third son, Long Gan, had been missing for twenty-five years. Till this date, he remained a missing person. It was very likely that he was no longer alive.
The biggest regret in this matter was that none of Long Jingyuan¡¯s three sons had any children of their own. Thus, the great and powerful Long Family was facing significant challenges with session issues.
Fang Xinxin read through the news online. ording to the article, through DNA tests, it was confirmed that Bai Jingrou is Long Gan, the missing third son¡¯s daughter.
In other words, she was the Long Group¡¯s director¡¯s granddaughter.
The hottest news right now was not of the respectable Director Long¡¯s reunion with his granddaughter, but of Bai Jingrou breaking down in tears before the media as she shared how her father had passed away due to a serious illness. She shared that her father had located her right before his death and confessed her true family background to her.
Fang Xinxin closed her eyes and recalled the words Bai Jingrou had spoken to her in her previous life. ¡°Fang Xinxin, look at yourself. You¡¯re not just blind. You¡¯re even paralysed right now. Your entire Fang family are like leeches to the Bai family. You¡¯re not suited to be my cousin-inw. Truly, you should let go of my cousin, Bai Qinghao. He deserves a better woman.¡±
¡°But Bai Qinghao doesn¡¯t have any other women by his side.¡± In her previous life, her response had revealed her insecurities.
¡°No matter what, the Bai family¡¯sdy¡¯s position will never belong to you!¡±
She could still recall the words Bai Jingrou said to her clearly.
In her previous life, after she married into the Bai family, everyone felt that only Bai Jingrou was truly a good match for Bai Qinghao.
Her identity as the Long Group¡¯s sessor further made herpatible with Bai Qinghao.
Bao Jingrou was too good at concealing her schemes. Till the moment Fang Xinxin died, she had struggled to understand how this woman actually felt.
At the very least, she had never clearly stated that she liked Bai Qinghao. Had she confessed to Bai Qinghao without Fang Xinxin knowing about it?
In her memories, Fang Xinxin had foolishly pushed Bai Qinghao towards Bai Jingrou repeatedly. However, he remained loyal towards her nheless.
In this life, she would not repeat the same stupidity again.
She looked through the photos of Director Long embracing Bai Jingrou warmly and frowned.
Strangely, she struggled to look away from Director Long¡¯s face. She felt that there was something familiar about him.
What was it?
She thought hard in her mind about this.
However, she recalled that Director Long would pass away from a heart attack within a year or two.
Although Long Group had yet to be passed to Bai Jingrou, after Director Long¡¯s death, she rapidly and firmly took hold of the position of a sessor despite the fact that there was no written will. She then inherited the Long family¡¯s powerful enterprise.
Fang Xinxin found several other photos of Director Long. He appeared to be very friendly and healthy.
Chapter 604 - Fang Xinxin’s Career Moves
Chapter 604: Fang Xinxin¡¯s Career Moves
He was sixty-six years old this year and his management skills were not to be looked down on. Even now, he handled the Long Group wonderfully. He seemed like someone who still had years ahead of him. Why would he pass away so quickly?
Could it be that Bai Jingrou was behind this?
This matter was unrted to her.
However, it was quite a coincidence. Her father also had the surname ¡®Long¡¯.
She spent fifteen minutes reading through various news before turning to herptop. She quickly began designing a blueprint of a small neighbourhood of homes.
A year ago, she had withdrawn all her money from stocks and purchased a piece ofnd under apany named, ¡®Sunshine Property and Finance Company.¡¯ She was nning to move to a neighbourhood named, ¡®Embroidering Sunshine¡¯.
When she first purchased thisnd, it was a rather isted area. There was very little traffic flow and there were few facilities in the area. Worst of all, there was even a waste disposal nt right next to it.
Thus, thoughnd in the outskirts of the city was expensive, she obtained this one easily with five hundred million dors.
Most people disdained this piece ofnd. After her rebirth, however, she insisted on owning this precious gem of and.
Just as she remembered, in the past year, more than three different universities relocated to this area. Variouspanies then followed along with a renowned hospital. This district was slowly growing popr.
Most importantly, the waste disposal nt that had keptnd prices low suffered countlessints from the residents due to the harmful gases that they were emitting.
They were forced to move away and the space they previously upied was even converted into a park.
Due to this, the ¡®Jin Xiu Jiao Yang¡¯ Project¡¯snd had transformed into a piece of gem. The prices had also increased tenfold.
A lot of people were curious about the person behind this project. Their keen insight was definitely to be admired!
Thankfully, with Bai Qinghao¡¯s help, no one was able to investigate any of the investments that Fang Xinxin had made.
At the same time, her gamingpany, Sunshine Gaming, had grown significantly after the sess of the game . She then led her team of employees to develop several other good games. The moment they were released, they were simrly sessful.
Her gamingpany thus also helped her to earn a lot of money.
Towards the end of her Year 2 studies, she had also opened a fashionpany. It was also named ¡®Sunshine Fashion¡¯.
Due to her rebirth, she understood future trends very well.
She was a fashion major in university. The clothes she designed were both stylish and beautiful. When it came to materials, she knew when the prices would drop without affecting the quality of the final products.
Within a year, Sunshine Fashion had made more than several billion dors in earnings. Of course, that was its total ie and not actual profit.
Additionally, she had invested in various projects and made some money through them.
All of these were opportunities given to her through her rebirth.
She was not only doing this for the day she could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Bai Qinghao.
She was also working to undercut Bai Jingrou¡¯s position and make herself stronger!
Additionally, she was especially happy that her brother¡¯s financepany was bing more sessful by the day. It was developing at a rapid pace.
Fang Xinxin edited the design blueprint repeatedly before finallypleting the ns for ¡®Embroidering Sunshine¡¯ Project. She then sent the blueprint to herpany¡¯s project department¡¯s email, instructing them to begin construction.
Afterpleting her work, she sighed in relief and sat down for a sip of tea.

Chapter 605: Leave Bai Qinghao

¡®Embroidering Sunshine¡¯ Project had been dyed for more than a year. Finally, they could begin construction. Initially, they were supposed to kick off the project right after purchasing thend.
Unfortunately, at the time, she had spent all her funds on thend.
After obtaining thend, she used it to draw several million dors of loan from the bank. Although she could have then spent the money on construction, she decided to use it for her fashionpany, as well as other investments.
Thus, she did not have any money left for this project.
It was dyed till this moment. Thankfully, her fashionpany was now making profits and she had repaid all her debts to the bank. She now had the funds to proceed with this project.
After taking the longer path, she no longer had any more debts. Instead, she had billions of funds avable for her use.
A young man stepped into the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room.
Fang Xinxin closed herptop from where she sat on the couch. She looked up to see that it was actually Jiang Xingnan.
He was dressed casually and wore a yful smile on his face. He appeared just like the model appearance of a rebellious young master.
¡°Why are you here?¡± A hint of confusion shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes.
¡°Everyone says that it¡¯s an honor to freely enter the Yu Ting Vi.¡± Jiang Xingnan responded casually. ¡°I¡¯m sure you didn¡¯t expect me to do so.¡±
She was supposed to be surprised by this. However, through her memories from her past life, Fang Xinxin hade to know of Jiang Xingnan¡¯s unique identity. She had simply remained silent on this matter all this while.
Since he had made his way here, there was no need for her to conceal this any longer. ¡°What¡¯s there to be surprised about? Aren¡¯t you Elder Bai¡¯s god-grandson? However, it seems that Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents did not recognise you as their god-son. You say, if Bai Qinghao¡¯s grandfather has taken you to be his god-grandson, should you address Bai Qinghao as ¡®Brother¡¯?¡±
If this guy used Elder Bai¡¯s name to enter the Yu Ting Vi, no one would dare to stop him.
Jiang Xingnan¡¯s smile faded. ¡°Did Bai Qinghao tell you about this?¡±
¡°Would you believe me if I said no?¡±
¡°In that case, the people from the Bai home must have told you. This matter has never been truly settled. There are very few people who know of this. Did you bribe the helpers from the Bai family?¡± Jiang Xingnan decided not to focus on this matter. ¡°Nevermind! Fang Xinxin, have you seen the news today?¡±
His gaze was fixated on her.
He had been waiting for her in school everyday. However, ever since the third year of their studies, she barely attended ss.
He finally could not tolerate it anymore and decided to seek her out on his own.
Jiang Xingnan took in her fair and soft skin as well as her stunning beauty. He realised the more he watched her, the more he was charmed.
She frowned. ¡°Are you referring to Bai Jingrou, the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter, who became the Long family¡¯s sessor?¡±
¡°Do you know what this means?¡± He averted his gaze as his expression turned serious.
She waved her hand and appeared not to care. ¡°Is this rted to me?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin¡¡± He suddenly approached her with a hint of infatuation in his gaze.
He began earnestly. ¡°It¡¯s been more than a year. I¡¯ve been waiting for you! You can¡¯t remain in the Bai family. Listen to me and leave Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Fang Xinxin rejected him decisively.
A hint of pain shed past Jiang Xingnan¡¯s gaze. ¡°I said this before but you won¡¯t be able to hold onto the position of Madam Bai for long!¡±
¡°Jiang Xingnan, I¡¯ll be honest with you. In this life, there is only one thing I¡¯ll never give up on. That is¡ Bai Qinghao.¡± Her attitude was resolute.
Her greatest mistake in her past life was to push Bai Qinghao away.
She had lost too many opportunities to be with him.
Chapter 606 - Burning Pit
Chapter 606: Burning Pit
¡°Since you¡¯re so resolute, I won¡¯t hide this from you any longer.¡± Jiang Xingnan seemed to havee to a difficult decision.
He said with some hesitation, ¡°The truth is, back when Grandmother Bai decided on your engagement with Bai Qinghao, Grandfather Bai had opposed her decision. However, he could not persuade her to change her mind. I¡¯m here because I¡¯ve received Grandfather Bai¡¯s instructions to pursue you.¡±
Fang Xinxin appearedposed. She sped her hands togetherfortably. ¡°I expected this.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Jiang Xingnan¡¯s expression was especially serious. ¡°I¡¯ve really liked you for a long time. I¡¯ve had feelings for almost the moment Grandfather Bai instructed me to pursue you. In fact, even when you were ugly¡ even before you regained your good looks, I had already liked you.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± This took her by some surprise. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you only liked beautiful women with good figures?¡±
He harrumphed with some arrogance. ¡°You still had some attractive points.¡± For example, she actually wasn¡¯t afraid of snakes despite being a girl. Additionally, her aura, her gaze, her singing voice¡ and many others.
¡°I don¡¯t need your generosity.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. In this life, she only needed Bai Qinghao¡¯s love.
¡°Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Jiang Xingnan was on the verge of raising his voice. ¡°The only person on your side, Grandmother Bai, has already passed away. Grandfather Bai doesn¡¯t support your marriage with Bai Qinghao!¡±
Fang Xinxin searched through her memories. ¡°In fact, Grandfather Bai¡¯s attitude towards this marriage is more neutral than you are iming. After all, to him, histe wife¡¯s promise is akin to his. I think you¡¯re withholding some of the truth. You must have volunteered to pursue me in a feat of ¡®bravery¡¯. Grandfather Bai must have only agreed to this jokingly.¡±
Jiang Xingnan¡¯splexion turned red in humiliation after being seen through. ¡°So what!¡±
¡°You¡¯re wasting your time.¡± Fang Xinxin rewarded him with four words.
Jiang Xingnan saw that she appeared unmoved. He grew flustered. ¡°Fine, I was in the wrong for this. But¡¡± He gritted his teeth and decided to share his observations about the Bai family with her. ¡°Let me tell you, Bai Jingrou isn¡¯t a simple woman. I can tell from the way she looks at Bai Qinghao that she is interested in him. Furthermore, that woman hides her schemes especially well. If you marry into the Bai family, there¡¯s no way you¡¯ll be able topete against her. Listen to me. If you leave Bai Qinghao, perhaps Bai Jingrou will let you off¡¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s brows lifted in surprise.
She had already known that Bai Jingrou hid her intentions very well.
However, she did not expect Jiang Xingnan to warn her about this.
¡°Thank you.¡± Thus, she expressed her gratitude to him.
Although Jiang Xingnan was rather rebellious and had a bad temper, in fact, he disdained speaking poorly of others.
The fact that he was telling her this right now meant that he had seen things that he could not share with her.
Jiang Xingnan sighed heavily and red at her. ¡°It seems like you won¡¯t listen to my advice!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t wish to repeat my feelings for Bai Qinghao again.¡± She instructed a helper. ¡°Pour Young Master Jiang some tea.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m full from my anger against you!¡± Jiang Xingnan reached for the teacup held by Fang Xinxin and drank from it. He tilted his head back and downed it.
¡°You!¡± She red at him.
He waved the cup before and intentionally kissed the cup. ¡°This is called an indirect kiss, do you understand? Let me tell you, I won¡¯t change my mind easily. Since you insist on throwing yourself into a burning pit, I¡¯ll wait for the day you run out of the Bai family crying. Of course¡¡±
A hint of worry shed past his eyes. ¡°I hope that you¡¯ll be unharmed when that dayes.¡±
Chapter 607 - Meet The Elders
Chapter 607: Meet The Elders
Fang Xinxin asked him. ¡°Do you know something about Bai Jingrou?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll tell you if you promise to be my girlfriend!¡± He offered.
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to deal with him. She nced at the cup in his hands before looking at him. ¡°You should be thankful that Bai Qinghao isn¡¯t home right now, and that there aren¡¯t any maids in the living room. Otherwise, Bai Qinghao would have dealt with you before I could do anything to you.¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Did she think he was a fool? He had carefully chosen this opportunity to speak to her.
But Jiang Xingnan did not hurt her. Instead, he even warned her to be wary of Bai Jingrou. Thus, she decided not to be offended about him kissing the cup.
She then left for herpany. Jiang Xingnan found it meaningless to stay there any further and also left.
An hourter, she received a message from Bai Qinghao: [Xinxin, are you free tomorrow? I¡ wish to take you to the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.]
A hint of joy shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes as she read his message.
She responded almost immediately: [Sure.]
Bai Qinghao, who was currently in the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO¡¯s office, read her message nervously and then sighed in relief.
God only knew that he had been hoping to take her back to the Bai family more than a year ago.
However, he had been worried that she wouldn¡¯t be used to the environment. She also felt there wasn¡¯t any need for her to meet his family that early on.
After all, even after he married Fang Xinxin, he had no ns on moving into the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
Xinxin was nearly twenty-one years old. He had thought of marrying her when she turned twenty. Unfortunately, her mother¡¯s passing was revealed that year and it wasn¡¯t suitable to organise a wedding then. Now, it was finally the right time.
Bai Qinghao had fantasised about marrying Fang Xinxin countless times.
He brought his phone out. The wallpaper was Xinxin¡¯s photo.
His rough fingers brushed against the image of her stunning beauty, as though he was holding her in person.
No matter what, she always had the power to move his heart.
He kissed the image gently and began speaking slowly and heavily. ¡°Xinxin, will you marry me?¡±
He had repeated these words countless times in his heart.
In a few days, he would make them a reality!
The next morning, Bai Qinghao did not head to thepany. Instead, he handled his work from Yu Ting Vi¡¯s study.
Hepleted the tasks by 10:00 a.m. and immediately asked Butler Zhao, who was waiting outside the door. ¡°Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°She is in the dressing room next to the main bedroom,¡± Butler Zhao responded respectfully.
Bai Qinghao rushed upstairs and pushed open the door into the dressing room. He saw that Fang Xinxin was dressed in a lc dress that went past her knees. Her hair was tied into a bun and she had applied a thinyer of makeup. As a result, she appeared even more gorgeous than she normally did.
She was taking in her own appearance through the mirror. When she saw him enter, she immediately turned around. ¡°Bai Qinghao, do you think it¡¯s alright if I head to the Bai family¡¯s mansion dressed like this?¡±
¡°You can do whatever you like.¡± His gaze was filled with love. He brought her into his arms and nibbled on her ear softly. ¡°My Xinxin looks beautiful no matter what she wears!¡±
She pushed him away gently and whined. ¡°I¡¯m asking for your opinion! Tell me.¡±
¡°It¡¯s very suitable.¡± He sized her up carefully and found that the more he looked at her, the more beautiful she appeared. ¡°The next time we return to the Bai family¡¯s mansion, there¡¯s no need to put in this much effort. You can dress however you like.¡±
She lifted her chin and looked at him. ¡°I¡¯m doing this because you¡¯re important to me.¡±
In her previous life, when he took her home to meet the Bai family¡¯s elders, she had intentionally dressed crudely. Her make-up had been thick and her clothes were revealing.
As a result, the Bai family elders immediately disliked her.
Chapter 608 - Visiting The Bai Family
Chapter 608: Visiting The Bai Family
Not only that, even the helpers at the mansionughed at Bai Qinghao for having a poor taste and for taking a liking to her.
She had truly erected her own gravestone.
This time, she would not only avoid the mistakes she made in her previous life but would also do her best to gain the Bai family¡¯s liking.
The two of them sat in a Rolls-Royce. The driver was Bai Qinghao¡¯s chauffeur, Li Bingpan.
Fang Xinxin nced at Li Bingpan from the backseat.
He had once been bribed by Fang Manxue. Now that Fang Manxue was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment, she wondered about his thoughts.
That night when Fang Manxue had schemed against her at the Dan Feng Bai Lu Hotel, Li Bingpan had informed her that Bai Qinghao would arrive home a day earlier from his business trip.
Speaking of which, he had yet to deal with this disloyal thing.
She had stopped Bai Qinghao and told him not to be hasty about this.
This was because they had yet to find the person who tried to secretly murder Bai Qinghao more than a year ago.
That person must be aware that Bai Qinghao was investigating him. Since then, he did not reappear again.
If Li Bingpan could be bribed once, he would definitely be bribed again. The only difference was that his employer would be different this time around.
All they had to do was to see if that person would target him.
The Rolls-Royce drove into an enormous and luxurious Chinese-style manor. There were various stunning and expensive flowers nted on both sides of the road.
As the car came to a stop, a helper immediately opened the car door respectfully.
Bai Qinghao alighted the car with Fang Xinxin.
A row of helpers were waiting respectfully. They immediately bowed and greeted them in unison. ¡°Wee, Young Master and Miss Fang!¡±
In their previous life, they had not been greeted this warmly. She turned to him in confusion. ¡°Bai Qinghao?¡±
¡°This way, you¡¯ll know with certainty that the Bai family always values you.¡± He did not have much expression on his cold and stern face.
Nheless, she keenly felt his love. She smiled slightly.
She scanned the surroundings. The Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s front yard was decorated with a modern, Chinese-style approach. There were beautiful flora and fauna, apanied with a rock garden. A gentle stream flowed through the rocks to fall into an enormous manmadeke. It made for a stunning sight.
The Chinese-style buildings were decorated with carefully crafted tiles. Every single tile appeared unique and stunning. The overall image it left was imposing!
With one nce, it was clear that the owner of this home was especially noble and out of the ordinary.
Bai Qinghao brought Fang Xinxin through the front yard. Due to his stern disposition, he did not introduce her to the Bai family¡¯s mansion¡¯s design and sights.
This was of no significance. She had been husband and wife with him for more than ten years, and had also spent quite some time living here. She was extremelyfortable with this ce.
However, as everyone believed this was her first visit, she took care not to appear too familiar.
The two of them approached a pavilion and sat down on the stone seats. A helper immediately brought a tter of fruits and desserts forward. She ced it down on the stone table.
¡°I have to leave for a while.¡± Bai Qinghao caressed Fang Xinxin¡¯s hair gently. His voice was warm. ¡°Wait here for me obediently.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded slightly and watched as he left.
In her previous life, the same thing had happened.
Although he returned within ten minutes, in the short time he was away, she met Bai Jingrou. Under Bai Jingrou ill-intended guidance, she misrecognized the Bai family¡¯s butler to be the Bai family¡¯s elder and addressed a butler as ¡®Grandfather¡¯.
What made this worse was that Bai Qinghao, along with his parents and Elder Bai, hade there right at this moment and witnessed her humiliation.
She was thoroughly mortified and believed Bai Qinghao had left intentionally to embarrass her.
She had hated him to death at that moment and lost control. She had ended up insulting Grandfather Bai as an old peasant.
With a few words, she had offended the entire Bai family.
Chapter 609 - Another Love Rival
Chapter 609: Another Love Rival
Although they had nned to have lunch at that time, there was no way they could do so under those circumstances. All the Bai family members had insisted that Bai Qinghao dissolve his marriage contract with her. Simrly, she had provoked him with harsh words and demanded her own freedom.
Despite his rage, he had dered that there was no way she would ever escape from his hands!
Furthermore, he had forcefully tied her up and taken her to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Their marriage was then registered in such a manner.
Now that she reflected on this, there was no way Bai Qinghao could have schemed against her. He had no reasons to do so.
He had gone away to invite his grandfather and his parents to meet her.
He did not insist upon her to take the initiative to greet her elders, and had instead given her sufficient face and spoiled her rotten!
Fang Xinxin felt especially frustrated whenever she recalled her own foolishness from her past life.
If she were to be this stupid again, she would rather have a block of tofu fall from the sky and end her life.
As expected, as soon as Bai Qinghao turned around the corner, a young woman in a pink dress with a coat around her shoulders approached Fang Xinxin. Her figure appeared slender and attractive and her features were charming. She was definitely a stunning, graceful beauty. Combined with her gentle and dignified aura, she was the absolute model of a well-brought up youngdy from a wealthy family.
This was Bai Jingrou.
In their previous life, Fang Xinxin had thought that she was extremely beautiful and charismatic from the moment they met. At the time, she had been ugly and fat and was dressed poorly. She instantly felt the stark contrast in their appearances and had struggled to manage her own insecurities.
However, things were different this time around.
Currently, her figure was better than Bai Jingrou¡¯s. Her appearance was also better. She was dressed in¡ the same style of long-piece dress. She stood proudly and confidently!
Bai Jingrou carefully sized up Fang Xinxin¡¯s slender figure and her snow white skin. The light make-up she had applied only entuated her stunning features.
She was absolutely wless in terms of her appearance and figure!
Bai Jingrou was deeply astonished, especially when she noticed the pink dress Fang Xinxin was wearing. It was almost identical to hers.
Bai Jingrou had thought that the dress she had on, entuated her beauty. However, she was frustrated at the realisation that as she stood side by side with Fang Xinxin, her beauty did not match up with Fang Xinxin¡¯s. She felt a hint of difort at this.
Fang Xinxin noticed the unhappiness in her eyes and smiled mockingly.
She had intentionally worn the same dress to disgust her.
Who asked Bai Jingrou to scheme against her to mistake the butler for Grandfather Bai?
¡°You must be Fang Xinxin. Nice to meet you. I¡¯m Bai Jingrou. I believe my cousin must have mentioned me in passing before.¡±
Jingrou pushed the difort away and smiled gracefully. She took the initiative to speak up first.
Fang Xinxin responded with a mild smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Bai Qinghao has never mentioned you before.¡± Fang Xinxin was speaking truthfully and was not trying to humiliate her.
Bai Jingrou did not expect that Fang Xinxin wouldn¡¯t give her any face. Her smile stiffened for a moment. ¡°That¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll introduce myself to you, then. The Bai family¡¯s elder has two sons. The elder son adopted my brother, Bai Chenxi, and I.¡±
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°My adopted brother, Bai Chenxi, can be considered childhood friends with Miss Fang. I heard that you both are very close. My father has already passed away. Currently, Grandfather Bai¡¯s younger son, Bai Hong, only has one son. That would be my cousin, Bai Qinghao. The Bai family values their bloodline heavily. When my adopted brother, Bai Chenxi, and I were adopted, it was emphasised that we would not have any rights to session. In other words, my cousin, Bai Qinghao, is the Bai family¡¯s only sessor.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for Miss Bai to exin so much. It¡¯spletely unnecessary.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled lightly. ¡°I¡¯ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since I was young. I know these things better than you.¡±
Bai Jingrou appeared to restrain herself, as though she had a good temperament. ¡°In that case, take it as I¡¯m being a busybody. I simply wanted to let you know that you¡¯re very lucky to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. His identity is far more valuable than my adopted brother¡¯s.¡±
Chapter 610 - Show-off
Chapter 610: Show-off
Although Bai Jingrou¡¯s words were casually spoken, Fang Xinxin understood her hint that she was not good enough for Bai Qinghao.
She picked up one of the teacups on the table and took a sip of the piping hot tea. The taste was faintly sweet and its scent lingered in her mouth. This was the taste of a premium grade Bi Luo Chun Tea.
¡°Good tea,¡± Fang Xinxin murmured. She had no intention of responding to Bai Jingrou.
However, Bai Jingrou did not notice this. A hint of arrogance shed past her expression. ¡°By the way, you should really congratte me.¡± She continued on her own. ¡°As the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter, though my position is valuable for its affiliation with the Bai family, I do not actually have any blood rtions with them. To my surprise, a while ago, my rtives finally located me. I really did not expect myself to be Long Group¡¯s old director¡¯s granddaughter¡¡±
The meaning of her words was clear. She was hinting that she was a good match for the Bai family.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows as she took her words in.
In her previous life, she had never noticed that this woman¡¯s feelings for Bai Qinghao were this obvious.
In fact, Bai Qinghao was an extremely outstanding man. It was normal for Bai Jingrou to fall for her cousin who had no blood rtions with her.
However, though they were both from the Bai family, Fang Xinxin knew very well that they were not actually familiar with each other.
This was because Bai Qinghao had lived in a different vi with his parents when he was young. Ever since he became an adult, he had lived in the Yu Ting Vi independently.
Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou on the other hand, had lived with their parents.
Thus, the two Bai families only met on rare asions at the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
Bai Jingrou chattered on relentlessly. To her surprise, Fang Xinxin did not give her any response whatsoever. With her intelligence, she naturally understood that Fang Xinxin was intentionally ignoring her.
The silence was awkward for a moment and a hint of rage shed past her seeminglyposed gaze.
If this had been anyone else, they would have rushed to tter her the moment they realised that she was the Long Group¡¯s sessor.
How could they possibly ignore her?
¡°Do you dislike my identity as the Long family¡¯s granddaughter?¡± The valuable identity drew a lot of envy. The ruined Fang family had no way ofparing against her. Bai Jingrou wanted to see the self-hatred in Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression. To her surprise, Fang Xinxin remained indifferent. There was no way of telling how she actually felt.
¡°That¡¯s true, you¡¯re the future Madam Bai. Of course¡¡± Bai Jingrou wanted to continue.
Fang Xinxin lost her patience and cut her off. ¡°You¡¯re also a well-educated individual. Don¡¯t you feel any shame in asking a stranger to congratte you?¡±
She then asked in amusement. ¡°Or could it be that you¡¯re intentionally taking advantage of your status as the Long Group¡¯s granddaughter to mock me?¡±
Bai Jingrou was clearly doing so. But, of course, she refused to admit to it. ¡°How could that be? You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±
She wouldn¡¯t be as foolish as Fang Liyin and her daughter. Their ambitions were painted all over their faces.
In the past, she had secretly kept tabs on the Fang family¡¯s situation.
Initially, she had assumed that Fang Liyin and Fang Manxue would deal with Fang Xinxin. This way, she wouldn¡¯t have to spare any effort on this.
To her surprise, the mother and daughter werepletely useless. One had ended up dead and the other had been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. They were truly rubbish!
What was more upsetting was that Fang Xinxin had actually sessfully lost weight. She even regained her stunning appearance. This left herpletely frustrated.
Bai Jingrou fell into deep thought. She refused to participate in a battle without guaranteed sess. She managed her expression and pointed at a short distance away. ¡°Look, they¡¯re here!¡±
Around the corner, an extravagantly dressed middle-aged woman could be seen approaching them. She was supporting an elderly man in his sixties. The man was dressed in a Chinese-style white shirt.
Chapter 611 - Meet The Parents
Chapter 611: Meet The Parents
¡°It¡¯s Madam Bai and¡¡± A maid coincidentally ¡®passed by¡¯ Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. She spoke a little and rushed forward to bow to the pair.
Fang Xinxin was holding onto a teacup. Her hand paused in mid-air for a moment.
The elderly man in his sixties was the old Bai family¡¯s mansion¡¯s butler, Bai Mingde. The woman was Bai Jingrou¡¯s adopted mother, Huang Zhishu.
As expected, the past events were repeating and they were attempting to mislead her.
Bai Jingrou must have arranged for this maid to appear. Otherwise, there was no reason for someone to appear by her side and to only finish half of her sentence. Unfortunately, she had failed to see through this in her previous life.
Bai Jingrou spoke up with some urgency, ¡°We mustn¡¯t disrespect the elders. Let¡¯s go and bow to them.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyelids twitched a little. She sat without moving and noted internally that this was her second attempt to mislead her.
¡°Miss Fang, we cannot disrespect our elders.¡± Bai Jingrou spoke louder with ¡®good intentions¡¯. ¡°My cousin, Bai Qinghao, respects Madam Bai very much. This is the same for Bai¡ Aiyo, in any case, we cannot pretend not to see them.¡±
In their previous life, Fang Xinxin had naturally assumed that Bai Jingrou meant to address the second person as Grandfather Bai.
The pitiful her had mistaken Bai Jingrou¡¯s adopted mother to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother, and the elderly man to be Bai Qinghao¡¯s grandfather.
In a miserable sight, she had greeted Butler Bai Mingde. ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯m your future daughter-inw. Look, do you think you¡¯re satisfied with me?¡±
¡°And you, you¡¯re Bai Qinghao¡¯s mom, aren¡¯t you? Don¡¯t even think that I will address you as ¡®Mom¡¯.¡±
All the maids by the side hadughed at her. It was only after she turned around that she noticed Bai Qinghao supporting the actual Elder Bai a short distance away. Furthermore, his actual parents were by his side as well.
At the thought of the humiliation from back then, Fang Xinxin resisted the urge to smash her head against a rock.
Bai Jingrou saw that Fang Xinxin was still sitting. She looked back and saw that Bai Qinghao, Elder Bai and his parents were approaching. She rushed to tug on Fang Xinxin. ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go greet them!¡±
Fang Xinxin tugged her hand back and remained seated. ¡°Greet who?¡±
¡°Our seniors, of course.¡± Bai Jingrou spoke as though this was the way it was supposed to be. ¡°As juniors, we cannot neglect our elders.¡±
She attempted to mislead her persistently.
Fang Xinxin continued to sip her tea as she responded indifferently. ¡°You can go ahead.¡±
¡°You¡¡± A hint of viciousness shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze. Why wasn¡¯t this woman falling for her scheme?
Logically speaking, considering Fang Xinxin¡¯s good rtionship with Bai Qinghao, she was supposed to be enthusiastic about pleasing the Bai family¡¯s elders.
By now, Bai Qinghao had approached her along with Grandfather Bai.
Fang Xinxin finally stood up. She bowed slightly towards the Bai family¡¯s elder, Bai Chongshan, and smiled to greet him. ¡°Nice to meet you, Grandfather Bai.¡±
Bai Chongshan was dressed in Zhongshan attire. His hair wasbed backwards and his white moustache was long. His hair had also turnedpletely grey. Although his gaze was heavy from his years of experience, he appeared spirited and his eyes were sharp. It was obvious that he had been a legendary figure in his youth.
¡°You must be Fang Xinxin.¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s tone was certain. He sized Fang Xinxin with his sharp gaze. He noticed that she was dressed appropriately and her appearance was outstanding. She moved gracefully like a noble.
Her appearance and the way she carried herself made herpatible for her grandson. Her family background was the only aspect that was slightlycking.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi, stood behind Bai Chongshan. His father appeared strict and intimidating, while his mother appeared dignified and elegant. With one nce, it was clear that they were outstanding individuals.
The two of them carefully sized Fang Xinxin up. They were surprised by her appearance but politely made sure that their gaze did not linger.
Chapter 612 - Scheme Seen Through
Chapter 612: Scheme Seen Through
¡°Uncle, Auntie.¡± Fang Xinxin bowed slightly to both of them.
Truthfully speaking, in this life, she disdained bowing towards anyone.
However, they were Bai Qinghao¡¯s direct rtives. It was alright to give them this respect.
¡°En.¡± The couple nodded slightly as a response.
Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°Xinxin, when you meet my family in the future, it will suffice to simply greet them. There¡¯s no need for you to bow. My woman doesn¡¯t have to lower her head towards anyone!¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Fang Xinxin responded with some awkwardness. ¡°I was being polite earlier.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Bai Qinghao added overbearingly, ¡°It¡¯s also alright if you don¡¯t wish to greet them.¡±
¡°I respect everyone from your family.¡± She smiled lightly.
Bai Qinghao approached her side and held her shoulder. ¡°As a sign of my respect towards you, I brought my family here to meet you.¡±
He always acted as he intended and was not afraid of insulting the Bai family¡¯s elders to their face.
When Bai Chongshan heard this, he did not be angry. Instead, he was very satisfied at the sight of his only grandson. ¡°Qinghao, you¡¯re just like your grandfather when I was young.¡±
Bai Jingrou saw that Bai Qinghao had brought the elders here to meet Fang Xinxin and was clearly intending on spoiling her to death. A hint of sourness filled her heart. However, she maintained a dignified expression to bow towards Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and his wife.
Bai Hong and his wife appeared indifferent. Only Bai Chongshan responded with a light nod.
¡°Cousin.¡± When Bai Jingrou greeted Bai Qinghao, her voice was especially soft. It was akin to that of a little rabbit that drew one¡¯s doting.
Bai Qinghao nced at her coldly. ¡°Why were you pulling Xinxin earlier?¡±
¡°Oh¡ I¡¡± Bai Jingrou was about to respond when Fang Xinxin pointed at Butler Bai Mingde and Huang Zhishu. ¡°She asked me to bow to both of them.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression instantly turned heavy. ¡°Bai Jingrou, who do you think you are? You asked my woman to bow to a butler and your mother?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Bai Jingrou did not expect Fang Xinxin to say this. Herplexion instantly turned pale.
When Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi heard this, they turned and saw that Huang Zhishu was actually supporting the butler. The three of them were intelligent people and immediately understood the matter.
Under their gaze, Huang Zhishu rushed to release Butler Bai Mingde. She approached them quickly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Jingrou, that child, is too filial. She wanted toe and greet me, but she did not intend for Miss Fang to misunderstand.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Chong Shan¡¯s expression was stern and he clearly did not believe her.
He spoke in a voice that was cold and firm despite his age. ¡°Daughter-inw, I feel the need to remind you that the Bai family has never allowed outsiders to interfere with the matters of its bloodline. My elder son, Bai Pu, took you as his wife. Although the two of you did not manage to conceive, my younger son, Bai Hong, and his wife already had Bai Qinghao at the time. There was absolutely no need for the both of you to adopt any children. Although you both insisted on bringing Chenxi and Jingrou in, we won¡¯t mistreat you now that Bai Pu has passed. The adoption contract written back then is clear as day. Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou have absolutely no rights to session. If they are unhappy with that, they may leave the Bai family and receive a sum of money in exchange. Simply because they refuse to leave, it doesn¡¯t mean that you and your children can step past your boundaries. Do you understand?¡±
Huang Zhishu was in rage internally. However, she nodded understandingly on the surface. ¡°Yes.¡±
Chapter 613 - Change Surnames
Chapter 613: Change Surnames
Bai Chenxi stood behind the corner at the end of the hallway. As he listened to Grandfather Bai¡¯s words, he clenched his fists tightly.
Did they deserve to suffer this humiliation simply because they were not of the Bai family¡¯s bloodline? Frustratingly, despite how poorly Elder Bai treated them, he could not bring himself to let go of the wealth and glory which the Bai family gave him.
On the other hand, to Bai Qinghao¡¯s Grandfather and parents, everything Bai Qinghao did was always correct.
He truly hated him!
One day, he would ruin Bai Qinghao and take possession of the entire Bai family¡¯s wealth!
Bai Jingrou lowered her head. Although she felt especially humiliated, she simrly could not bring herself to give up the position and wealth which she enjoyed in the Bai family.
Although she was the Long family¡¯s only sessor, the Long family still could notpete with the Bai family.
Besides, the two statuses did not sh and they both had their own advantages.
Butler Bai Mingde approached them. His wrinkled face was covered in cold sweat as he exined to Bai Chongshan. ¡°Elder, my apologies. This subordinate twisted his feet by ident earlier and Madam insisted on supporting me. I did not realise that it would cause such a misunderstanding. I trust that Miss Jingrou did not intentionally lead Miss Fang to bow towards Madam and this subordinate.¡±
Initially, this matter was hidden between the lines. However, he stepped forward and clearly put it out in the open.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression turned poor. ¡°Uncle De, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I really didn¡¯t intend for this to happen.¡±
Bai Mingde had worked for Elder Bai for most of his life. He was naturally loyal to a fault and was deeply respected in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion. Thus, everyone had to address him as ¡®Uncle De¡¯.
Initially, he had been confused when Madam Huang Zhishu supported him for seemingly no reason.
Although he had a poor impression of Fang Xinxin at first, he now felt that it was the elder son¡¯s family that had grown impatient from concealing their schemes for so many years. They were finally showing their true colours.
In the past, Fang Xinxin was on poor terms with everyone from the old mansion. She had also assumed that Butler Mingde was on Huang Zhishu¡¯s family¡¯s side. However, after observing the situation clearly, she realised that this was not the case.
In fact, Butler De noticed immediately that he had been used.
¡°Alright. I¡¯ve already said everything that I need to say.¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s insightly gaze scanned Huang Zhishu and Bai Jingrou for a moment. ¡°There¡¯s no need to exin further. Remember your boundaries.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu responded obediently.
Fang Xinxin suddenly felt very pleased.
In the past, she did not pay good attention to Bai Jingrou¡¯s position in the Bai family and assumed that they had always doted on her. In contrast, she thought herself to be a proper outsider.
However, it seemed like that was not the case.
She stood on her tiptoes and whispered into Bai Qinghao¡¯s ears. ¡°Your grandfather and your parents are quite cute.¡±
A hint of a smile appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m d that you like them.¡±
In fact, he understood his grandfather and parents¡¯ thoughts very well.
The Bai family¡¯s business was enormous and its influence was overwhelming. As a result, it was inevitable that they had to deal with countless enemies outside.
They did not wish for there to be trouble at home as well.
However, his Uncle Bai Pu had refused to take their advice. Although the Bai family had a sessor, he insisted on adopting Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou.
Of course, he was uninterested in what the two of them had been named prior to their adoption. After they entered the Bai family, their surnames were changed to ¡®Bai¡¯.
The Bai family¡¯s wealth and power stirred everyone¡¯s greed. The same went for Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou who had managed to officially step into the Bai family.
If they did not care for the Bai family¡¯s power, the siblings would long have scrammed from this ce. Why would they stay to endure an unfair treatment?
Back when Bai Pu had passed away, the Bai family had given Huang Zhishu and her children a sum of money and requested them to change their surnames. However, they had refused to do so.
They insisted that the Bai family was their home and refused to leave. It would have been fine if they were genuinely seeking a peaceful home. Unfortunately, each one of them hid their own ambitions.
Chapter 614 - Bai Family Luncheon
Chapter 614: Bai Family Luncheon
Thus, the actual members of the Bai family did not treat this group of outsiders well.
Bai Chongshan as well as Bai Hong and his wife overheard Fang Xinxin¡¯s whisper. A hint of smile appeared unanimously across their faces.
Bai Jingrou, however, clenched her fists tightly. She had nned to lead Fang Xinxin into mistaking the Bai family¡¯s elders so that she would humiliate herself. Why did things appear to be moving out of her control¡
A maid approached and bowed respectfully. ¡°Lunch has been prepared.¡±
Bai Chongshan nodded sternly. ¡°Let us all head there now.¡±
The group of them stepped into the Bai family¡¯s dining room. It was connected to the Bai mansion¡¯s enormous living room.
Arge Chinese-style round table was ced in the centre of the dining room. A rotating tray was ced on top of it with various exquisite-looking dishes.
A lot of thought had also been ced in their seating arrangement. Elder Bai Chongshan took his seat first. Bai Hong and his wife then took their seats by his side. Next, Bai Qinghao, Huang Zhishu and Bai Jingrou took their seats.
Fang Xinxin deliberated over her own seat as she watched them. However, Bai Qinghao had already tugged the chair next to his. ¡°Xinxin, sit here.¡±
She obediently took the seat he offered.
Bai Jingrou was coincidentally seated directly across from her.
Bai Chongshan nced at Bai Jingrou and Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes with an insightful gaze. He then spoke to Bai Jingrou with some unhappiness. ¡°Jingrou, pay attention to what you wear in the future. Don¡¯t wear the same type of clothes as your future sister-inw. Outsiders may view this as a sign of disrespect to her. You were too immature this time.¡±
These words were especially pleasing to Fang Xinxin¡¯s ears.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s future sister-inw. In other words, Grandfather Bai approved of her rtionship with Bai Qinghao.
As expected, Bai Qinghao¡¯s rtives were just as wonderful as he was.
This time, Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes reddened genuinely. She spoke up in grievance. ¡°Grandfather, I¡ I didn¡¯t know that Miss Fang would wear this today.¡±
It was clear from the way she addressed her that she did not acknowledge Fang Xinxin¡¯s identity.
Bai Chongshan naturally noticed this. However, as Fang Xinxin had yet to marry into their family, he allowed her to do as she pleased. ¡°Do your best to avoid it. Do you understand?¡±
¡°I understand.¡± The morepliant Bai Jingrou behaved, the more enraged she felt on the inside.
Huang Zhishu watched as her daughter suffered a grievance. She was simrly angry but pretended to remain unfazed.
She had taught Chenxi and Jingrou that the more they wanted from the Bai family, the more they needed to keep their desires hidden.
¡°Grandfather Bai, you¡¯re so adorable.¡± Fang Xinxin could not help but praise him.
She sighed internally and struggled to understand why she addressed such an adorable elderly as an ¡®old peasant¡¯ in her previous lifetime. She had immediately offended Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents. Since then, she waspletely isted in the Bai family and only had Bai Qinghao on her side.
Thankfully, she had the opportunity to prevent the same event from repeating itself.
¡°Nonsense. How could you describe someone as stern as me as ¡®adorable¡¯!¡± Although Bai Chongshan reprimanded her, he did not appear to be unhappy in the slightest. Instead, he seemed to enjoy her words. The more he looked at Fang Xinxin, the more he was satisfied with her.
Fang Xinxin smiled without responding.
Bai Chenxi then stepped through the doors to enter the Bai mansion. He smiled gently to greet the elders. ¡°Grandfather, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Cousin, Mom.¡±
Huang Zhishu nodded lightly. Aside from her, no one responded to him.
He was used to this. He tugged his chair back to sit by Bai Jingrou¡¯s side. ¡°Cousin informed the entire Bai family to be present at lunch. I couldn¡¯t possibly be absent for this.¡±
He did not look at Fang Xinxin. This was because he knew that the ones who held the Bai family¡¯s power did not like him.
Right now, he did not have the ability to go against them.
Chapter 615 - Family Vs Outsiders
Chapter 615: Family Vs Outsiders
¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± With Bai Chongshan¡¯s word, everyone began digging in.
Bai Qinghao thoughtfully served a bowl of soup to Fang Xinxin. He then ced a lot of various dishes in her bowl.
Fang Xinxin felt slightly embarrassed as the elders were present. She said softly, ¡°I can help myself.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. They won¡¯t mind it. If they do, we won¡¯te home to eat again.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. The Bai family¡¯s men were simr in one aspect. They tended to focus on their careers and disliked having to deal with trouble at home.
Yet, when his Uncle Bai Pu had been alive, he insisted on adopting a son and a daughter to cause problems.
Of course, this was mainly caused by Huang Zhishu¡¯s instigations.
The Bai family was sufficiently magnanimous for not tossing this group of mother and children out of their home, considering how long it has been since his uncle passed away.
Back when he was alive, Bai Pu did not have many abilities. He was dependent on the Bai family for his survival.
The Bai family¡¯s business, influence and position were entirely built on Bai Qinghao¡¯s grandfather and father¡¯s hard work.
As of today, the Sheng Shi Group under his name had far exceeded the achievements that the generation before him had garnered.
He truly did not think much of his inheritance. However, he naturally would not reject the things that belonged to him.
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved by Bai Qinghao¡¯s words. She whispered. ¡°Qinghao, it isn¡¯t very good to speak to our elders like that, is it?¡±
¡°The Bai family is different.¡± Bai Qinghao looked at Fang Xinxin seriously. ¡°The Bai family¡¯s people can feel free to live as they please. Naturally, the same does not apply to outsiders.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± She understood this very well too.
Qinghao¡¯s father, Bai Hong, had been a powerful figure since young. He held a lot of influence in his hands. His mother, Ya Yunzhi, had always been by Bai Hong side and the couple rarely returned home.
It seemed like it was extremely rare for the entire Bai family to gather for a meal. They had given Fang Xinxin sufficient face on this day.
Bai Hong and his wife rarely interfered with Bai Qinghao¡¯s matters. This was because their son was extremely independent and aplished. There was no need for them to worry about him. Bai Chongshan was of the same attitude.
Huang Zhishu and her children were also used to this.
Bai Jingrou nced at them from the corner of her eyes and watched as her cousin, Bai Qinghao, doted on Fang Xinxin despite his usual, cold disposition. Her heart was overwhelmed with jealousy.
She hated that Fang Xinxin had received the Bai family¡¯s favour from the moment she appeared.
She was the Bai family¡¯s daughter, albeit an adopted one, but she had never received such positive attention from her family.
She wanted to dere to the Bai family that she had be the Long Group¡¯s sessor. Compared to Fang Xinxin, she was much more suited to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Bai Qinghao.
However, despite how valuable the status of Long Group¡¯s sessor was, it still could notpare with the Bai family¡¯s overwhelming power.
Right now, most of the powerful figures in politics, including the president himself, had been personally led into their positions by Grandfather Bai in his youth.
Bai Hong¡¯s position was also intimidatingly great.
He simply had no interest in vying for a greater position. Otherwise, he could easily take possession of Bai Chongshan¡¯s authority.
Combined with the influence that Bai Qinghao had secretly umted over the years, as well as his financially powerful Sheng Shi Group¡
The Bai family¡¯s empire could not be shaken and was an existence akin to an emperor¡¯s pce!
Bai Jingrou was genuinely tempted to bring up her status as the Long Group¡¯s sessor.
However, she also feared that the three intelligent people in the Bai family would notice that she was intentionally emphasising her own status.
There was a chance that things would not go as she hoped.
Thus, she did not dare to speak up.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s and Fang Xinxin¡¯s engagement had been decided by thete Bai family¡¯s grandmother, Qin Hefang.
Back when she had been alive, Qin Hefang was deeply respected in the Bai family. The Bai family would not easily go back on the promise she had made.
If Fang Xinxin did not make any obvious mistakes, the Bai family naturally would not interfere with this marriage.
Chapter 616 - Great Grandchildren
Chapter 616: Great Grandchildren
Bai Jingrou¡¯s thoughts drifted here and there. She watched as Bai Qinghao took considerable care of Fang Xinxin. In contrast, she had just been reprimanded by Bai Chongshan. She instantly lost her appetite.
She wanted to leave the dining table. However, she did not have the courage to do so while the seniors were still present.
After finishing his dinner, Bai Qinghao quietly handed a small, exquisite square box to Fang Xinxin beneath the table.
Fang Xinxin turned to him with wide, shining and confused eyes.
Bai Qinghao leaned close to her. His frozen, cold heart was somewhat apprehensive, yet he appeared cold and indifferent on the surface. He asked lightly. ¡°Will you agree to it?¡±
Fang Xinxin was confused. ¡°What?¡±
¡°The thing I handed to you earlier. Do you agree to ept it?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
Bai Qinghao watched as she nodded. He could not conceal the smile on his face. He then seriously announced. ¡°Since everyone is present, I will announce some good news. There is an auspicious day in two weeks¡¯ time. My wedding with Xinxin will be arranged on that day.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that too fast?¡± Bai Jingrou reacted without thinking and was taken aback when she noticed that the elders were looking at her coldly.
Huang Zhishu also understood that her daughter had acted out of line. She rushed to reprimand. ¡°The Bai family¡¯s elders haven¡¯t even said a word. As a junior, you shouldn¡¯t be speaking out of line.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯splexion was slightly pale. ¡°Mom, I meant to say that Cousin¡¯s wedding is a serious matter. I¡¯m afraid that two weeks won¡¯t be enough time to prepare for it.¡±
Fang Xinxin was also dumbstruck.
In their previous life, Bai Qinghao had forcefully brought her to have their marriage registered. He did not announce this matter in front of everyone. Considering her attitude at the time, she guessed that he was probably afraid she would object if he had said it first.
Furthermore, she had also offended the entire Bai family at the time.
In their previous life, they did not even attend the wedding.
The Bai family had thoroughly be aughing stock.
The thought of it gave her a headache.
Fang Xinxin was dazed for a moment before a hint of joy shed past her eyes. She looked at Bai Qinghao lovingly before lowering her head shyly.
Ever since her rebirth, she had been waiting to be his wife once more!
Bai Qinghao had been paying attention to her reaction. He saw that she did not be upset and was even clearly happy about this. He held her hand beneath the table tightly in agitation. ¡°I¡¯ve been preparing for my wedding for a long time. There¡¯s no need for outsiders to concern themselves about it.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s face was pped loudly and clearly in front of everyone. She felt humiliated and could only bite her bottom lip silently.
Bai Chongshan expressed his opinion. ¡°Qinghao is already twenty-six this year. Fang Xinxin is also twenty years old now. It¡¯s time you both married. It would be best if you gave me my grandchildren soon.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry about that.¡± Bai Qinghao looked at his fianc¨¦e lovingly. ¡°Xinxin and I have our own ns.¡±
He did not agree to it in case Xinxin was unwilling to have his children¡
At the thought of this possibility, he subconsciously frowned. He then quickly distracted himself from that thought. Perhaps, she would be agreeable to it?
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. ¡°It¡¯s only appropriate that you have my great grandchildren soon! Of course, the Bai family has to take its face into consideration. Pregnancy before marriage is not something to boast about. There¡¯s only two weeks before the wedding¡ Even if my future granddaughter-inw conceived right now, no one would be able to tell if this happened before or after the wedding.¡±
¡°Grandfather, I¡¯m not pregnant right now.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke shyly. ¡°We¡¯ll take up this matter slowly. Of course, if I do conceive, I¡¯ll definitely keep the baby.¡±
Bai Chongshan was rather satisfied with this answer and nodded sternly.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frozen heart was overwhelmed with joy. In other words, Xinxin was willing to have his child!
Chapter 617 - Borrow Her For A Moment
Chapter 617: Borrow Her For A Moment
In that case, he really had to do as Grandfather said and work hard to ¡®make¡¯ a baby.
Fang Xinxin savoured the way her fianc¨¦ was holding onto her hand tightly. She felt sweetness bubbling up in her heart.
¡°It¡¯s good to have the wedding earlier.¡± Bai Hong also expressed his opinion. ¡°Qinghao has always been independent. He can make the decisions for his own matters.¡±
¡°Son, go ahead as you n. Mom doesn¡¯t have any objections.¡± Ye Zhiyun took in her oustanding son, Bai Qinghao. She was pleased with him no matter how she looked at him.
She had always followed her son¡¯s decisions and never had to worry about him.
¡°In that case, the wedding is decided.¡± Bai Hong stood up and bowed towards Bai Chongshan. ¡°Father, my office is busy. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±
¡°Father, I¡¯ll head back with Bai Hong.¡± Ye Zhiyun also stood up.
The couple had their own vi in the outskirts of the city and rarely stayed here.
¡°Qinghao, take good care of your fianc¨¦e.¡± Bai Hong¡¯s words were an acknowledgement of Fang Xinxin¡¯s status as his daughter-inw.
Bai Qinghao nodded. Fang xinxin rushed to stand up. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, please take care.¡±
Bai Jingrou had admired Bai Qinghao since she was young. However, Bai Qinghao had always been engaged to Fang Xinxin. To think that the man she had loved since her childhood was soon to be married!
Yet, she still did not dare to express her hidden feelings.
She clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails into her skin. Her paleplexion was obvious but within seconds, she mustered up a smile. ¡°In that case, you have my congrattions, Cousin, Miss Fang.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t even address me as your cousin-inw. Do you have any opinions against me?¡± Fang Xinxin asked lightly.
¡°How could that be?¡± Bai Jingrou responded appropriately. ¡°You haven¡¯t married into the family, have you? Once you do, I¡¯ll naturally address you as Cousin-inw. Earlier, you also addressed Cousin¡¯s parents as ¡®Uncle¡¯ and ¡®Auntie¡¯. You couldn¡¯t possibly address them as ¡®Father¡¯ and ¡®Mother¡¯ this early on, could you?¡±
This cheap cousin of his was a busybody. Bai Qinghao frowned unhappily.
Bai Hong paused by the entrance of the living room. ¡°If Fang Xinxin is willing to address me as ¡®Father¡¯, I will naturally be happy to ept it.¡±
Ye Yunzhi followed after her husband and turned towards the dining room and said, ¡°Likewise.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not expect Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents to help her. She really felt the urge to address them as ¡®Father¡¯ and ¡®Mother¡¯ right now.
However, it was true that she had yet to marry into the family. It would be too embarrassing to jump the gun right now. If news of this spread, she would definitely turn into aughing stock.
Two weeks would pass by in a sh. Thus, she turned to the couple sincerely. ¡°Thank you.¡±
Bai Hong and his wife nodded and left.
The maids wiped the table clean and brought a tray forward. There were three red packets on the tray.
Bai Chongshan handed the three red packets to Fang Xinxin. ¡°This is the gift your future parents-inw as well as myself have prepared for you for our first meeting. They¡¯re busy and instructed me to hand this to you on their behalf. Qinghao isn¡¯tcking in any wealth, hence we didn¡¯t go overboard on the gift. Don¡¯t mind it if it¡¯s too little.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t. Thank you, Grandfather.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up and received it politely.
She held the red packets in her hands. They were all very thin.
Bai Jingrou was especially jealous. The Bai family¡¯s elders were very generous. Perhaps, she could attempt to switch the red packets before Fang Xinxin opened them.
This matter was an extremely simple feat for her.
¡°Come, Xinxin. Follow Grandfather to my study room. I wish to speak to you.¡± Bai Chongshan stood up.
Fang Xinxin obediently followed after him but realised that Bai Qinghao was still holding onto her hand.
Bai Chongshan simrly noticed his grandson¡¯s behaviour. He spoke with a cold expression. ¡°I¡¯ll borrow my granddaughter-inw for only a moment.¡±
Chapter 618 - Concealed Schemes
Chapter 618: Concealed Schemes
¡°Don¡¯t make things difficult for her, or say anything that will make her unhappy.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and his tone was stern. With his noble and charismatic aura, he made for an intimidating sight without needing to appear angry.
Even Bai Chongshan did not dare to easily offend his grandson.
Of course, Bai Qinghao was also the greatest source of his pride. The position that his son, Bai Hong, had in the political world today could not have been obtained without his grandson¡¯s hardwork and schemes.
Bai Qinghao was definitely an even more outstanding figure than Bai Hong!
He lifted his hand and waved it as an acknowledgement of his grandson¡¯s request.
Bai Qinghao finally released Fang Xinxin¡¯s little hand.
Bai Chenxi had been mostly silent tonight. He watched as Fang Xinxin headed up the stairs. He recalled that her appearance was stunning to the point where one nce at it was sufficient to leave anybody dumbstruck.
He then recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s previous, ugly and fat appearance¡
Despite the fact that nearly two years had passed, he still struggled to be ustomed to her stunning beauty.
The woman, who had admired him since he was young, now behaved like conjoined twins with Bai Qinghao.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s stomach was heavy with regret. If only he had epted and slept with Fang Xinxin back then.
He still hoped that it wasn¡¯t toote to regret things right now.
He wanted both the Bai family and Fang Xinxin! Bai Chenxi concealed the schemes he had in mind and smiled in a refined manner. ¡°Cousin¡¡±
Bai Qinghao was not interested in listening to his nonsense. He followed Fang Xinxin up the stairs.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s smile stiffened. His seemingly refined appearance turned vicious.
Huang Zhishu noticed the change in her son¡¯s expression. She frowned slightly. ¡°Compose yourself.¡±
¡°I understand, Mom.¡± Bai Chenxi nodded.
His mother had always educated him appropriately. She taught him that he needed to conceal his ambitions before he could cause the copse of the Bai family. Otherwise, he would only be eliminated.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze was fixated on Bai Qinghao¡¯s charming back view. Her gaze waspletely lovestruck.
Bai Chenxi noticed his sister¡¯s gaze and whispered. ¡°Jingrou, you were too rash today.¡±
Bai Jingrou was always open with her brother and mother. ¡°I will take note of my behaviour in the future.¡± So what if Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin¡¯s wedding was impending? There were countless troubles she could cause within the next fourteen days!
In the study room upstairs, several framed calligraphy pieces were disyed on the wall.
There were famous antiques as well as Bai Chongshan¡¯s works. Bai Chongshan was extremely fond of calligraphy. His works also drew a lot of admiration.
The shelves were also filled with various books and the scent of books was heavy in the air.
Fang Xinxin directly approached a beautiful calligraphy piece hung on the wall. It wasn¡¯t signed.
Nheless, she read the words out softly: [All rivers run into the sea]
¡°What beautiful calligraphy! Grandfather, you must have written this, didn¡¯t you?¡±
A hint of astonishment shed past Bai Chongshan¡¯s experienced gaze. ¡°How did you know?¡±
¡°These words appear to be written by an experienced hand. The ink gives off a refined aura and the strokes were made without any hesitation. It has the boldness of a dragon¡¯s spirit! Calligraphy tends to resemble the person who wrote it. It is outstanding in ways that are simr to you, Grandfather.¡± Although Fang Xinxin was speaking truthfully, it was likely that she was also trying to tter him.
¡°Hahaha¡ I never expected that my future grand daughter-inw would have a keen appreciation for calligraphy.¡± A hint of admiration appeared in Bai Chongshan¡¯s gaze.
¡°Grandfather, you tter me too much. I¡¯ve also practiced calligraphy a little myself. I¡¯ll write some words for you when we have the time.¡± She had intentionally learned this after her rebirth in order to win Grandfather Bai¡¯s favour. She had invested time to learn this skill deeply.
Come to think of it, it had been more than a year since she secretly began her practice.
¡°Good, good.¡± Bai Chongshan stroked his white beard and suddenly spoke seriously. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you will soon marry into our Bai family. In the past, the rumours about you and Bai Chenxi¡¡±
Chapter 619 - Your Proposal Wasnt Romantic
Chapter 619: Your Proposal Wasn¡¯t Romantic
¡°Those are all rumours.¡± Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°Grandfather, think about it. Your grandson, Bai Qinghao, is so outstanding. Even if I was blind, I would still be able to tell that a sesame seed like Bai Chenxi is in no way anypetition for a diamond. Put it simply, logically speaking, it¡¯s impossible for me to like Bai Chenxi.¡±
¡°Is Qinghao really in your heart?¡± Bai Chongshan struggled to put his worries to rest. ¡°I only have one grandson. If you hurt his feelings¡¡±
¡°Grandfather, he really upies the space in my heart.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was sincere. ¡°He upies all of it.¡±
This was Bai Qinghao¡¯s first time sneaking behind a door to listen to their conversation. When he heard this fianc¨¦e¡¯s serious confession, his frozen heart was instantly filled with joy and sweetness.
He had followed after them because he was worried about Xinxin. Thankfully, he had decided to do so.
Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t he have missed out on hearing her feelings?
Bai Chongshan stroked his white moustache in satisfaction. ¡°Truthfully speaking, in the past, both Qinghao¡¯s parents and I did not approve of this marriage. However, as you were a granddaughter-inw selected by myte wife, as well as the only request Qinghao has ever made of us, we decided to let things be. Qinghao absolutely detests betrayal. We initially thought that, considering the rumours between you and Bai Chenxi, it would be unlikely for your rtionship toe to fruition. To think you would both be able to make it this far. Grandfather has seen the performance where you sang for Qinghao. I also heard your confession for him. I was also deeply moved by you.¡±
He suddenly winked at her mischievously. ¡°You sang too well. I¡¯ll tell you this secretly: I¡¯m actually your fan. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not a singer.¡±
¡°Haha, in that case, I¡¯ll sing for Grandfather every so often.¡± She winked back at him with the same mischievous attitude. Bai Qinghao was sufficiently eye-catching. She was not interested in the entertainment circle. With Bai Qinghao¡¯s influence and her own appearance and figure, it was a simple feat for her to be famous.
However, she did not enjoy being pursued by cameras every single day. She would rather let other people live out their super star dreams. She preferred to remain an audience and to simply watch them.
¡°Hahaha!¡± Bai Chongshanughed in relief.
He approached her and patted her on her shoulders. ¡°I¡¯m an old man. Although much of my life has passed by, I believe that I still have a good eye for people. If you be Qinghao¡¯s wife, I¡¯ll have nothing to worry about.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you down,¡± she promised him sincerely.
Truly, in this life, she would do her utmost to love the husband who had sacrificed his own life for her.
The two of the chatted casually for a while longer. Bai Chongshan told her to spend some time living in the old mansion and she agreed to his request. He then pointed at the door. ¡°Go on. Qinghao should be rather impatient by now.¡±
Fang Xinxin bowed to him lightly and turned to leave. The moment she opened the study room¡¯s door, she was wrapped tightly in Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace.
¡°Fang Xinxin, I love you so much!¡± His cold, heavy voice was filled with his love for her.
She pushed him away shyly. ¡°Grandfather is still here.¡±
He was looking in their direction.
¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine¡¡± When Bai Chongshan smiled, the wrinkles in the corner of his eyes deepened. He waved his hand without being upset. ¡°There¡¯s no need to mind me. I know what it¡¯s like to be young.¡±
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin walked down the stairs together and stepped out of the living room. They strolled slowly through the beautiful, Chinese-style garden.
It was 3:00 in the afternoon.
It was a beautiful day. The sky was clear and blue.
A gentle breeze brushed past them. The wind wasfortable.
Fang Xinxin paused by the cobblestone path and turned to look at Bai Qinghao. She murmured softly. ¡°You didn¡¯t even propose to me before you announced our marriage.¡±
Chapter 620 - Marry Me
Chapter 620: Marry Me
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression instantly turned heavy. A hint of viciousness shed past his eyes, as though hinting an iing typhoon. ¡°Why? Are you going back on your words?¡±
He wasn¡¯t sure why he kept fearing her rejection. Perhaps it was because he had silently practiced his proposal countless times.
He¡ had even felt the urge to see a doctor. Could it be that he was suffering from pre-marriage anxiety disorder?
She shifted closer and lifted her head to take in his silent, enraged expression.
If she were anyone else, she would definitely have been frightened to death.
However, she knew that this person absolutely wouldn¡¯t hurt her. She lifted her hand and caressed his cold and stern face. ¡°Silly. How could I possibly go back on my words? I can¡¯t wait to marry you as soon as possible!¡±
His enraged expression instantly dissipated with her gentle tone. He was confused. ¡°Then¡¡±
¡°What I meant to say is that I¡¯m definitely willing to marry you. But you have to propose to me first.¡± She blinked herrge, sparkling eyes at him. ¡°You know what a proposal is? A diamond ring and getting down on one knee. That¡¯s so romantic.¡±
It¡¯s a pity that this husband of hers wasn¡¯t a romantic.
¡°You make sense.¡± A rare hint of a smile appeared on Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression. He then frowned. ¡°I was too hasty. I should have first prepared a romantic proposal for you.¡±
He had been imagining his proposal for more than a year.
He had rehearsed it in his mind countless times. However, in the end, his fear of rejection overwhelmed him and he opted to act first before rifying matters, misleading her into agreeing.
She was the only one he feared losing. However, it was too embarrassing to admit it. Instead, he continued seriously. ¡°Although it wasn¡¯t romantic, I did propose to you. I gave you the diamond ring and you agreed to ept it.¡±
¡°Did you?¡± She lifted her brows in confusion. ¡°Why don¡¯t I know about this?¡±
¡°During lunch.¡± He responded seriously. ¡°You epted my proposal ring. When I asked if you were willing, you nodded.¡±
She reached into her pocket to retrieve the squarish box he had handed her earlier. She did not open it to check at the time. ¡°It¡¯s true that it happened, but I didn¡¯t know that this was a wedding ring¡¡±
You fucking fooled me into agreeing!
She opened the delicate box to find an extremelyrge diamond ring sitting inside. It sparkled in a dazzling manner.
¡°This diamond is so big and it was carved so beautifully. It¡¯s sparkling from every angle!¡± Fang Xinxin brought the ring out and checked the brand logo on the wedding band.
It was made from the luxury brand of all luxury brands, Cartier. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this style of wedding rings from this brand.¡± She had nned to marry him and had naturally paid attention to the wedding rings avable in the market.
Of course, she did not suspect that this was an imitation. With just one nce, it was clear that this was an extremely valuable diamond. Furthermore, he wasn¡¯t the one to buy imitation goods.
¡°I hired Cartier¡¯s Chief Designer, Mason, to design it. There is only one such pair of rings in this world.¡± The wedding rings for Xinxin and him naturally had to be unique. Bai Qinghao brought out a simr jewelry box from his pocket. It contained a male wedding band made with the same style of design. ¡°I ordered these rings more than a year ago.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes glittered with tears. She hit him lightly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡±
She then asked immediately. ¡°This diamond is so big. It has to be at least eight carats, no?¡±
¡°The diamonds on the rings are eight carat big.¡± Bai Qinghao nodded. ¡°I wanted to buy you something bigger, but Mason said it would affect the overall appearance of the ring.¡± A ring like that screamed the choice of someone who only just had their first taste of wealth.
¡°It¡¯s big enough. You even hired the chief designer from a world famous luxury brand¡ this is too expensive!¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached for his money.
This pair of rings must have cost nothing less than hundreds of million dors.
Chapter 621 - Ill Marry You Nonetheless
Chapter 621: I¡¯ll Marry You Nheless
¡°Money isn¡¯t a problem. Besides, all of my money was earned for you to spend.¡± He took in her bright gaze. ¡°Do you like it?¡±
She nodded.
He suddenly took the ring from her hands and knelt down. He looked up at her and began seriously and lovingly. ¡°Fang Xinxin, will you marry me?¡±
Since she wished for a proposal, even if she had already agreed to this marriage, he was happy to do anything for her.
¡°I will!¡± She nodded with tears in her eyes.
This had never happened in her previous lifetime.
¡°I wanted to prepare a more romantic set-up.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with anticipation. ¡°But I can¡¯t stand to wait for even a minute longer!¡±
¡°This is sufficiently romantic.¡± Her voice was thick with tears.
She knew that his status was as valuable as that of an emperor and he was used to others kneeling down to him. He had never bowed to anyone and there wasn¡¯t a single person in this world who deserved him to lower himself.
However, for the sake of having her as his wife, he had done so.
She reached her hand out emotionally and Bai Qinghao immediately ced the ring on her finger. He then pressed a heavy kiss against her hand and announced seriously. ¡°From this day forward, you are my wife.¡±
From the first time he had seen her, she was already his!
He added this silently in his heart.
Fang Xinxin was in tears. As he stood up, she rushed into his arms. ¡°My dear! My dearest husband!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and stern face was filled with joy. He coaxed warmly. ¡°Once more.¡±
¡°Hubby!¡± She responded obediently and even pressed a kiss on his cheek.
Bai Qinghao held her tightly in his arms and felt as though he had obtained the entire world!
¡°Did you forget something?¡± He waved the ring in front of her.
She immediately understood and reached for it. She first pressed a kiss against the ring before carefully cing it on his ring finger. She then seriously instructed him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, from now onwards, you¡¯ll be carrying my unique mark everywhere you go.¡±
His heart was filled with sweetness, but he was unhappy with her words. ¡°What do you mean by that? We¡¯ve been engaged since we were young, alright?¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡± She pped her own forehead. ¡°Look at my memory.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to hit yourself.¡± His expression was heavy and his gaze was filled with heartache. ¡°Your head is mine, your body is mine. Every inch of you belongs to me¡¡± He truly found himself falling deeper and deeper for her everyday.
¡°En, en.¡± She nodded and then warned him. ¡°I demand for the same!¡±
¡°That goes without saying.¡± Bai Qinghao lovingly caressed her slightly messy hair. ¡°My eyes and heart have only ever had space for you.¡±
She leaned into his arms and could not help but thank the gods. Exactly how wonderful of a man had they given her?
There was no other man like him!
Bai Qingrou stood hidden behind a corner and watched as the two of them exchanged rings and embraced each other sweetly. Her heart was overwhelmed with jealousy and theposure on her expression had long turned unnatural!
Bai Chenxi approached from behind and tugged her away, taking her to a safer ce. He said mockingly, ¡°Look at you. Are you still that dignified sister of mine? You look like a jealous woman. If the Bai family¡¯s people were to see you like this, wouldn¡¯t the past twenty years of acting be instantly ruined?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Bai Jingrou red harshly at her brother. ¡°You only know tough at me. Our goal has been clear for years. It was your responsibility to seduce Fang Xinxin and mine to seduce Bai Qinghao. Right now, Fang Xinxin is enjoying Bai Qinghao¡¯s embrace. Have you managed to seduce her?¡±
Chapter 622 - Bai Family’s Leech
Chapter 622: Bai Family¡¯s Leech
¡°You speak as if you¡¯ve be Madam Bai.¡± Bai Chenxi harrumphed coldly. ¡°You¡¯re in no position tough at me.¡±
He hated that, despite having the surname ¡®Bai¡¯, his wife would not be addressed as ¡®Madam Bai¡¯.
Those people at the Bai family who refused to die, as well as Bai Qinghao, all stubbornly treated him as an outsider.
Bai Jingrou was provoked into anger by his words. ¡°Bai Chenxi. you¡¯re truly the Bai family¡¯s good-for-nothing! With my status, I¡¯m no longer who I was before. I¡¯m the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. I have the Long group supporting me, but what do you have? In the future, you¡¯ll still have to rely on this sister of yours. So, you better speak politely to me!¡±
Bai Chenxi was extremely good at adapting to circumstances. He immediately softened his tone. ¡°Alright, provoking each other will only hurt our feelings. Let¡¯s save our abilities for dealing with Bai Qinghao.¡±
Bai Jingrou immediately corrected him. ¡°You¡¯ll never be Bai Qinghao¡¯s opponent.¡±
¡°You shouldn¡¯t always exaggerate about other people¡¯s abilities and diminish your own!¡±
¡°I¡¯m speaking the truth.¡± Bai Jingrou smirked mockingly. ¡°Besides, my goal is to be Madam Bai. The person I have to deal with is Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°That cheap woman clearly doesn¡¯t know who she¡¯s facing. It isn¡¯t a pity even if you kill her.¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s heart wasn¡¯t soft. ¡°If you have a good heart, at least leave her corpse intact?¡±
Bai Jingrou released a long breath as her smile turned vicious. ¡°Isn¡¯t it easy to kill her? What I n to do is to ruin her!¡±
Bai Chenxi patted her on the shoulder as though to encourage her. He watched as Bai Qinghao left, leaving Fang Xinxin alone. He indicated to Bai Jingrou that her opportunity was here.
¡°Brother, take a guess. How much do you think the three people, who refused to die, put in Fang Xinxin¡¯s red packets?¡± A hint of greed shed past her eyes.
Although she had already be the Long Group¡¯sdy, she had yet to receive a single cent from them.
¡°You¡¯ll know after you take it.¡± Bai Chenxi instructed her. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to split me a portion after you get it.¡±
¡°You wish.¡± Bai Jingrou pushed him aside and approached Fang Xinxin. She smiled beautifully. ¡°Miss Fang, why are you alone? Where¡¯s my cousin?¡±
She stared at the enormous ring on her finger. It was so bright!
She truly wanted to take it for herself. Unfortunately, she could not afford such a big goal right now.
¡°He left for a moment.¡± Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t clear what he had left for. She noticed that Bai Jingrou had changed into a different, green dress. ¡°You changed your dress?¡±
¡°I¡¯m so sorry for the earlier incident. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have worn the same style of dress as you did.¡± She disdained wearing the same dress as a woman of a lower status than hers. This would only lower her own noble position.
Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You know this as well. It is not about our clothes. Instead¡ in the Bai family, you simply don¡¯t have the power to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me.¡±
In her previous life, this woman had secretly humiliated her too much. In this life, she would return it to her bit by bit.
¡°You¡¡± Bai Jingrou was enraged.
She nced at the ring on her finger and suffered another blow. Finally, she could not contain her arrogance. ¡°What do you count for, Fang Xinxin? You¡¯re but a wealthydy from a ruined enterprise. Oh, it seems like you¡¯re no longer a wealthydy then. Hasn¡¯t your Fang Group closed down already? At most, you¡¯re just the Bai family¡¯s leech!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes glinted.
Indeed, ever since her mother¡¯s body was found, thepany her father had created had filed for bankruptcy.
This was because Fang Liyin had made a mess of the Fang Group and borrowed countless debts under the Fang Group¡¯s name. It wasn¡¯t worth it using arge sum of money to revive thispany.
Chapter 623 - Red Packets
Chapter 623: Red Packets
After much discussion with Fang Shaohua, they decided to let the Fang Group go and work on their own businesses individually.
Currently, from the perspective of an outsider, Fang Xinxin indeed only had the status of the future Madam Bai.
She secretly clicked on the recording pen in her pocket and started recording Bai Jingrou¡¯s words.
Earlier, she had intentionally provoked her. She would wait for the right opportunity to y this recording.
Bai Jingrou watched as Fang Xinxin remained silent and assumed that she had sessfully suppressed her. She felt great internally and added. ¡°Oh, I forgot. Your family still owns a mansion where a murder took ce.¡± She immediately smiled. ¡°To think that there was a corpse hidden beneath the Fang family¡¯s storeroom, and that it was actually your mother¡¯s corpse. You enjoyed thepany of a dead body for more than seven years in that storeroom. You must have livedfortably didn¡¯t you? The Fang family¡¯s vi was originally worth some money. Now that it has be such a frightening haunted house, I wonder if you¡¯ll be able to sell it even if you offer it at a much lower price?¡±
¡°Bai Jingrou, is this the side you¡¯ve been hiding for so long?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My Fang family vi will never be put on sale. Although it may count as a haunted house to others, my mother doted on me dearly and will only pray for my safety. There¡¯s nothing wrong with sharing herpany. There¡¯s no need for you to worry about my family¡¯s vi.¡±
She suspected that Bai Jingrou would not go on any further and decided to silently end the recording.
Bai Jingrou scanned the surroundings. Aside from Bai Chenxi, who was hidden behind the corner, there wasn¡¯t anyone else nearby.
She did note for a casual conversation. She suddenly stepped forward and held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand warmly. ¡°My apologies, Miss Fang. I was in the wrong earlier and went out of line. Don¡¯t be upset with me.¡±
Fang Xinxin noticed that this woman had suddenly turned polite and guessed that she nned on stealing her red packets.
In her past life, she had hated Bai Qinghao too much and only opened the red packets after several days.
In the end, she found that each red packet only contained twenty dors.
She was angered to the point of¡ it hadn¡¯t been an issue about the amount. She was upset about the tant disrespect.
Considering the Bai family¡¯s wealth, to give their future daughter-inw twenty dors had been an intentional act of humiliation. It would have been better if they did not give her even a single cent.
At the time, she had immediately looked for Bai Qinghao and fought with him over this matter.
Bai Qinghao had asked his family only to learn that they each gave her a cheque worth six million dors.
Someone had reced her red packet at some point. As it had been a few days since she received the red packet, they were unable to find out the truth.
She deliberated over it and realised that Bai Jingrou had interacted with her at that time and her actions had been extremely suspicious.
However, when she pointed this out, Bai Jingrou had burst into tears and imed she would never do such a thing.
Everyone felt that, given she was the Long Group¡¯s only sessor, why would she becking money? There was no way she would have taken it.
Thus, the money she received disappeared just like that and there was no one she could me.
This time, she would definitely catch this thief in her act.
As Fang Xinxin deliberated over this, she noticed Bai Jingrou reaching for her red packets. She then quickly ced a different set of red packets into her pocket.
As expected, Bai Jingrou had been the one to rece her eighteen million dors with a few hundred dors!
Very good!
She didn¡¯t even know that Bai Jingrou had this sort of talent. She moved so quickly and truly acted like a thief.
Fang Xinxin was about to deal with this thief when Bai Chenxi appeared from behind a corner.
He raised his voice. ¡°Jingrou, there¡¯s no need to be so secretive when giving Miss Fang red packets!¡±
Chapter 624 - Sleight Of Hands
Chapter 624: Sleight Of Hands
Bai Jingrou was very intelligent and almost immediately understood the situation. She intentionally dropped the red packets she had taken. ¡°Eh? Cousin-inw, your red packets fell.¡±
She then bent down and considerately picked them up, handing them over with a smile. ¡°These are from the Bai family¡¯s elders. Keep them with you carefully.¡±
Fang Xinxin epted them calmly. She watched Bai Chenxi thoughtfully and realised that this bastard had reminded Bai Jingrou to cease her actions.
Furthermore, he had done so seamlessly, leaving her with no way to be upset.
She understood that the Bai siblings weren¡¯t easy to deal with. Nheless, she had plenty of time to handle them.
Xinxin opened the red packets on the spot unhappily. As expected, each contained a cheque worth six million dors.
The cheques were signed by the different elders and it was clear which belonged to whom.
Fang Xinxin then took out the red packets which Bai Jingrou had stuffed into her pockets.
She opened them. ¡°You secretly gave me red packets? You even gave me three at a go. There¡¯s twenty dors in each one of them. Those who don¡¯t know may think you were trying to rece my red packets with these ones worth sixty dors.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s smile stiffened. How could she possibly admit to it? ¡°Miss Fang, you¡¯ve misunderstood me. I only wished to give you some red packet because it¡¯s your first time visiting our family. It¡¯s an expression of my sincerity.¡±
¡°Misunderstood?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Why would you give me three red packets then?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡± Bai Chenxi naturally spoke up for his sister. ¡°It¡¯s like this. One of the red packets is from my sister, and the other two are from my mother and I. We asked her to hand them to you all at once.¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡± Bai Jingrou rushed to agree with her brother. ¡°I was worried you wouldn¡¯t ept it, so I ced them in your pocket secretly.¡±
¡°Not bad, sixty dors.¡± Fang Xinxin directly threw the money at Bai Chenxi¡¯s face. ¡°I won¡¯t ept such a rge¡¯ sum. Keep it for yourself.¡±
Bai Chenxi was hit directly in the face and his expression immediately turned poor.
¡°Is Miss Fangining that it¡¯s too little?¡± A hint of mocking shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes. ¡°Sincerity is more important than the gift itself. I didn¡¯t expect my future cousin-inw to be such a superficial person.¡±
¡°Hahaha.¡± Fang Xinxinughed. ¡°Bai Jingrou, don¡¯t act as if you¡¯re on a higher moral standing.¡± She narrowed her eyes lightly. ¡°Are you expressing your sincerity through a light gift? You know better than anyone else that you were trying to rece my money with a mere sixty dors. Do you think I would ept this excuse of yours? You¡¯re too shameless!¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯splexion turned pale. She exined in frustration. ¡°I didn¡¯t touch your red packets. They fell when I tried to give you mine¡¡±
¡°When you weremitting a crime, your brother, Bai Chenxi, noticed Butler Bai Mingde watching us and made you stop.¡± Fang Xinxin did not waste her breath. ¡°Butler Bai will report this incident to Grandfather. Who knows what sort of conclusion he wille to?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s face became as white as a sheet of paper.
Fang Xinxin had nearly managed to show Bai Jingrou the consequences. If only she had truly managed to take the cheques.
She was simrly angry that Bai Chenxi had interfered.
Xinxin kept her red packets in her bag and left in anger while Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou pretended to be strolling in the yard.
Jingrou felt fearful. ¡°Brother, thankfully you noticed Butler Bai. Otherwise, I would be doomed.¡±
Chapter 625 - Handling The Butler
Chapter 625: Handling The Butler
Bai Chenxi lowered his voice. ¡°It seemed like Fang Xinxin expected you to do so. To think that she would arrange for Butler Bai Mingde to watch you secretly. Considering Bai Mingde¡¯s loyalty, he will definitely report your actions truthfully. Thank god you reacted fast and didn¡¯t keep the red packets in your own pocket. Otherwise, we would be doomed.¡±
Bai Jingrou was still worried. ¡°Even if we managed to escape from being caught red-handed, it¡¯s too much of a stretch to im that we were trying to hand Fang Xinxin our red packets.¡±
¡°Those Bai family¡¯s elders, who refuse to die, have always disliked us.¡± Bai Chenxi frowned. ¡°We can¡¯t let the Butler Bai tell them about this. Otherwise, we¡¯ll be in trouble.¡±
¡°En.¡± A hint of ruthlessness shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s face. She smirked mockingly. ¡°Fang Xinxin believes that a simple scheme like this would render me helpless. Isn¡¯t it just a butler? It¡¯s more than easy to seal his lips.¡±
Bai Chenxi had a lot of faith in his sister. ¡°I knew you would have a way to deal with this.¡±
¡°Leave it to me.¡± The glint in Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes was meaningful.
All of a sudden, her phone pinged.
She checked to see that the Long Group¡¯s old director, Long Jingyuan, had sent her a message: [Xiao Rou, are you living well in the Bai family? Do you need any help financially?]
Bai Chenxi read the message and immediately said, ¡°Quickly tell that old man that you¡¯re extremely poor. Ask him to transfer some money to you.¡±
¡°I just praised you for a moment and you¡¯ve lost yourposure already.¡± Bai Jingrou rolled her eyes and spoke heavily. ¡°Long Jingrou is especially intelligent. It¡¯s been days since our rtionship was acknowledged, but aside from sending me some clothes and jewelry, he hasn¡¯t sent me a single cent. He is either wary of me or testing me. If I reveal my greed right now, he will only grow more suspicious of me.¡±
Hence, she wrote a mature reply to him: [Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. I¡¯m living¡ very well. I¡¯m notcking in any way financially.]
As expected, through her message, Long Jingrou quickly noticed her hesitation and sensed that she was facing trouble.
He immediately replied: [Grandfather transferred a sum of money into your ount. If you suffer any grievances in the Bai family, remember to tell me. Do you understand?]
[Thank you, Grandfather. You are my only proper family in this world.] Bai Jingrou apanied this message with a sticker of a moved expression.
Ding! With this noise, she received a notification from the bank that the Long Group¡¯s finance department had transferred two million dors into her ount.
Bai Chenxi had been staring at her phone. He immediately opened his eyes in astonishment. ¡°That old man sure is generous. He gave you two million dors so easily.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± A hint of greed shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze. ¡°The entire Long Group belongs to me!¡±
¡°We didn¡¯t manage to get the money from Fang Xinxin earlier. Split the old man Long¡¯s money with me!¡± Bai Chenxi demanded.
¡°Brother, I need this money for something.¡± Bai Jingrou red at him. ¡°If you need money, why don¡¯t you look for your Fang Xinxin? The three Bai elderly gave her eighteen million dors as a greeting gift. Even half of that is much more than mine. All right, I need to tackle Butler Bai¡¯s problem. I¡¯m leaving first.¡±
She then turned to walk away.
Bai Chenxi deliberated over this and felt that his sister made sense.
In the past, whenever he asked anything of Fang Xinxin, that foolish woman always gave into him.
Although she had changed a little, it shouldn¡¯t be much to borrow some money from her, was it?
¡
Butler Bai Mingde had seen the show of ¡®exchanging¡¯ or ¡®gifting¡¯ red packets earlier. He immediately headed for the old mansion and was about to turn around a corner.
Chapter 626 - Hypnotise
Chapter 626: Hypnotise
Bai Jingrou suddenly appeared by his side. She smiled and greeted him. ¡°Uncle De, where are you headed to?¡±
¡°I have something to report to the Elder.¡±
¡°It must be about the red packets that I gave Miss Fang earlier, isn¡¯t it?¡± She asked him directly.
Bai Mingde understood that Bai Chenxi had noticed him earlier. He did not conceal it. ¡°Indeed.¡±
Bai Jingrou spoke in an upset manner. ¡°I¡¯m sure you could tell as well, but Miss Fang doesn¡¯t seem very happy with me. She actually said that I was trying to swap her red packets with mine. I¡¯m the only granddaughter from the Long Group. How could I possibly do such a thing? Look, when my grandfather, Director Long, gives me pocket money, he generally offers two million dors at a go.¡±
She then showed him the message she received from the bank earlier. ¡°Fang Xinxin is intentionally trying to attack me. Please don¡¯t believe in her words. Could you put in a good word on my behalf when speaking to Grandfather Bai?¡±
Bai Mingde scanned the message and saw that the Long Group had truly sent her two million dors. ¡°How does Miss Bai wish for me to do so?¡±
¡°Tell him that¡¡± Bai Jingrou thought about it. ¡°Tell him that I picked up Miss Fang¡¯s red packets with good intentions, but she intentionally framed me and imed that I was trying to rece her red packets.¡±
Bai Mingde was astonished. ¡°Miss Bai, that was not the case. It¡¯s inappropriate for you to do so.¡±
¡°I also had no intention of recing her red packets. Do you think it¡¯s appropriate for her to frame me?¡± Bai Jingrou stepped closer to him and secretly stuffed a cheque into his hands. ¡°This is an expression of my sincerity. I hope you will help me.¡±
Bai Mingde nced at the cheque. It was for sixty thousand dors.
She sure was generous.
He handed the cheque back to her. ¡°Miss Fang is to be Madam Bai with certainty. I have spent my whole life working for the Bai family. If I make up lies about her, I will be chased out of the Bai home. I cannot ept your money. Besides, no matter who this issue is about, as a butler, I cannot be dishonest.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine if you won¡¯t do it. Keep the money with you¡¡±
¡°I cannot.¡± Bai Mingde forcefully pressed the cheque back into her hands. ¡°If you insist any further, please do not me me for telling the Elder that you attempted to bribe me into giving him a false report.¡±
Bai Jingrou could only take the cheque back. She gritted her teeth. ¡°In that case, you insist upon reporting the earlier matter truthfully to Grandfather Bai?¡±
¡°Indeed. Although you are the great Director Long¡¯s granddaughter, it is one thing that he has given you money. It ispletely irrelevant to the matter of yours and Fang Xinxin¡¯s red packets.¡± Bai Mingde responded professionally. ¡°I trust that the Elder can form his own judgements after learning the truth.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze suddenly turned cold. As though in response, Bai Mingde¡¯s eyes turned nk.
¡°Earlier, Bai Jingrou identally dropped Fang Xinxin¡¯s red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Fang Xinxin.¡± Bai Jingrou spoke slowly.
Bai Mingde repeated mechanically. ¡°Earlier, Bai Jingrou identally dropped Fang Xinxin¡¯s red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Fang Xinxin.¡±
Bai Jingrou repeated this several times until a strong impression was formed in Bai Mingde¡¯s mind. She then smirked in satisfaction. ¡°Go on.¡±
Bai Mingde then headed for the mansion.
She had initially nned on making Bai Mingde insist Fang Xinxin had framed her for swapping their red packets.
However, she realised that it was difficult to make this matter look convincing given that there was only twenty dors in each of her red packets.
Chapter 627 - Wait For Right Opportunity
Chapter 627: Wait For Right Opportunity
If this matter was blown up and Fang Xinxin came to ask about the inconsistent report, she would only be at the losing end.
It was better to minimize this issue.
Fang Xinxin had guessed that Bai Jingrou would do something to Butler Bai Mingde. She was hiding behind a corner with her phone held up and had recorded everything that happened earlier.
Combining both her previous and current life, this was her first time seeing Bai Jingrou perform hypnosis.
Her skill worked too quickly!
Her abilities were outstanding. Unlike normal, skilled psychiatrists, she did not have to spend time waving a pocket watch before the patient, nor did she require the patient to rx and think of anything. She could directly influence their thoughts!
As expected, Bai Jingrou was indeed a terrifying opponent to have.
Thankfully, this woman¡¯s hypnosis was not absolutely powerful. Against individuals like Bai Qinghao who had a powerful aura and a strong will, her skill was useless.
Fang Xinxin temporarily did not n on releasing the video of Bai Jingrou using her abilities on Uncle Mingde.
This was because Bai Jingrou had changed her mind in time when she attempted to swap the red packets. When she hypnotised Butler Mingde, she also did not convince him to do anything out of line.
Even if she released this video, at most, Bai Jingrou would only be reprimanded by the Bai family¡¯s elders.
That wasn¡¯t the consequence she was hoping for.
She would tolerate this for a little longer and wait for a suitable opportunity to use the video. It was wiser to deliver a harsh, firm blow to the opponent.
Fang Xinxin kept her phone in her pocket and headed for the Bai family¡¯s mansion. Right before she entered the living room, Bai Qinghao stepped out and tugged on her hand to urge her towards the yard.
¡°Where did you go earlier?¡± She asked softly.
¡°I had some instructions for Liu Li.¡± Bai Qinghao appeared slightly secretive.
She frowned. ¡°What¡¯s there for you to hide from me?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll find out soon.¡±
A few minutester, Liu Li drove a SUV and came to a stop right before them.
Bai Qinghao tugged her into the backseat before she asked. ¡°Where are we going?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll know when we arrive.¡± He did not answer her directly.
Fang Xinxin took in the familiar route and recalled her past memories.
They were headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau.
In their previous life, he had forcefully brought her to this ce. Due to the Bai family¡¯s power, her objections were of no effect.
The registration was but a formality. At the time, she had hated Bai Qinghao to death. In contrast to that, she was filled with anticipation right now.
Fang Xinxin smiled.
Bai Qinghao took in her stunning smile and felt that inparison, even a thousand blooming flowers would appear dull. He instantly became dazed from watching her.
As expected, Liu Li stopped the car before the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Fang Xinxin intentionally turned towards Bai Qinghao in confusion. His gaze was cold and heavy but filled with anticipation. ¡°Didn¡¯t you agree to my proposal? The wedding will be in two weeks. Let¡¯s register our marriage first.¡±
She sat there without moving.
He was suddenly worried that she would go back on her words. Perhaps it was because she was too lovely, but he often felt that she would slip out of his fingers easily. ¡°You can¡¯t go back on the promise you made to me!¡±
She lifted her hand to touch his face and pressed a kiss against his lips. ¡°Silly. There isn¡¯t a single woman in this world who wouldn¡¯t wish to marry you. I haven¡¯t gone foolish. Did you bring the necessary documents to register our marriage?¡±
Bai Qinghao was left dumbstruck by her kiss. He savoured the lingering, soft sensation against his lips while Liu Li responded on his behalf. ¡°Madam, please be rest assured. Boss has already instructed this subordinate to bring all the documents along.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± It turned out that these were the instructions he had given Liu Li. Fang Xinxin opened the car door and headed into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was filled with joy and he rushed to follow after her.
Chapter 628 - Cheap Relatives
Chapter 628: Cheap Rtives
Fifteen minutester, right before the employees at the Civil Affairs Bureau were about to knock off from work, the two of them collected their marriage documents and returned to the SUV.
Liu Li turned back to look at the red booklets in his boss¡¯s hands. ¡°Congrattions, Boss. You finally have the belle of the ball in your arms.¡±
He then nced at Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning appearance.
Ever since she regained her appearance, he sincerely felt that she was absolutely stunning.
He had no trouble calling her the ¡®belle of the ball¡¯. On countless asions, he had looked back at his past, blind self and chided himself for mistaking her for an ugly woman.
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s in his arms and murmured softly. ¡°We¡¯re finally married. From this day onwards, you¡¯re mywfully wedded wife!¡±
¡°You¡¯re my husband.¡± She leaned against his firm embrace and added. ¡°The best husband I could have ever asked for!¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he was deeply moved. He reminded her heavily. ¡°I¡¯m not as good as you say.¡±
His love was extremely tyrannical. He did not allow anybody¡¯s interference.
¡°In my heart, you are.¡± Her voice was soft and it nearly melted his entire heart. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I love you.¡±
Although Liu Li was driving in the front seat, Bai Qinghao could not stop himself from confessing his true feelings in her ear.
¡°I love you too.¡± Fang Xinxin did not hold herself back from confessing her true feelings to him once more.
Bai Qinghao held his lovely wife in his arms and secretly decided that he would never let go of her hands even in his death.
Liu Li felt that his boss and Madam were truly loving. As an unattached man, he was filled with envy.
He did not wish to disturb their sweetness, but the car was nearing a crossroad. He could only speak up. ¡°Boss, where would you like to go?¡±
Fang Xinxin responded first. ¡°Return to the old mansion. I promised Grandfather to spend some time there.¡±
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly. Her promises were the same as his.
The car returned to the Bai family¡¯s mansion.
As expected, after Bai Mingde was hypnotised by Bai Jingrou, his report of the incident made light of the situation and did not cause any trouble.
Bai Chongshan did not mention this matter.
Bai Jingrou, Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu had stubbornly remained at the old mansion for the past few years. Fang Xinxin understood that the family of three were trying to better understand the Bai family through this and to search for the right opportunity to win the Bai family¡¯s favour.
After all, when they previously lived away from the Bai mansion, they had absolutely no way of interacting with anyone from the Bai family.
Thus, they threw a big fuss and moved back into the old mansion.
Despite this, the Bai family remained distant towards them.
After dinner, it was only 6:30 in the evening. Grandfather Bai Chongshan deliberated over Fang Xinxin¡¯s sleeping arrangement. ¡°Tonight, Xinxin will stay¡¡±
¡°She can share a room with me,¡± Bai Qinghao responded heavily.
¡°Good.¡± Bai Chongshan agreed. Nothing was more important than his future great-grandson.
Bai Jingrou bit on her bottom lip. A hint of grievance shed past her eyes.
Huang Zhishu understood her daughter¡¯s feelings and knew that it was not suitable for her daughter to speak up. Thus, she began. ¡°Father, Qinghao and Miss Fang have yet to conduct their wedding. If they share the same room right now, would it cause unpleasant rumours¡¡±
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes in unhappiness. Everyone seated at the table instantly felt the air turning frigid cold.
He could not even be bothered to tell this cheap aunt of his that he had registered his marriage with Xinxin. These outsiders did not deserve to know about his private matters.
Huang Zhishu sensed Bai Qinghao¡¯s unhappiness and shrunk back in fear. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Take it that I never said anything.¡±
Chapter 629 - Past Matters
Chapter 629: Past Matters
¡°What rumours could there be?¡± Bai Chongshan was unbothered. ¡°Qinghao and Xinxin have been living together in the Yu Ting Vi for ages. I haven¡¯t seen anyone getting upset about this. Zhishu, don¡¯t interfere in their young people¡¯s business in the future.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Huang Zhishu was reprimanded by her father-inw and she felt unhappy internally.
Bai Jingrou smiled gently. ¡°Cousin, you¡¯ve lived in the Yu Ting Vi for over a year with Miss Fang yet there hasn¡¯t been any good news. Both of you have to work hard. Grandfather is still waiting for his great-grandson.¡±
Although these words sounded like an innocent expression of well wishes, Fang Xinxin could hear the words between the lines.
What Bai Jingrou meant to say was that, despite cohabitating with Bai Qinghao for more than a year, Fang Xinxin actually did not manage to conceive!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s body was as strong as a bull. Naturally, no one would think that there was anything amiss with him. They would only me Fang Xinxin for failing to conceive.
As expected, Bai Chongshan¡¯s greying brows furrowed. ¡°Xinxin, you really have to put more effort into this matter.¡±
¡°Grandfather, we previously didn¡¯t wish for a child because I didn¡¯t want Xinxin to conceive out of wedlock,¡± Bai Qinghao responded sternly.
Everyone understood that the two of them had been using contraceptives previously. Thus, it was only natural that Xinxin did not conceive..
¡°As long as you both are healthy.¡± Bai Chongshan responded seriously. ¡°Don¡¯t use contraceptives in the future. Otherwise, how long would it take for my great-grandson to appear?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll take things naturally.¡± Bai Qinghao appeared unmoved.
However, he could not help but feel a hint of worry internally.
He had said those words earlier to stop Grandfather from worrying. In truth, they had not used any contraceptives in the past one year.
Could it be that Xinxin could not conceive? Or, was it a problem with him?
He decided to make time to undergo a health check-up soon.
Fang Xinxin, however, was not at all worried about this matter. This was because in her previous life, she had once been pregnant.
Unfortunately, early on in the pregnancy, she lost her child due to a bowl of abortion medicine.
At the time, she had detested Bai Qinghao and had wished for his death. Thus, she constantly dered she wanted an abortion.
However, at the end of the day, she could not bear to do so. After all, the child was also hers.
Bai Qinghao had locked her in the old Bai family¡¯s mansion and prevented her from leaving the ce fearing that she would visit the hospital for an abortion.
One day, while strolling through the yard, she felt tired. Thus, she asked the helper to move a table and chair onto the grass patch. She also asked them to prepare a medicinal soup that was good for the child and some desserts.
She had rested for a while before reaching for the medicinal soup. However, the moment she brought the soup to her lips, she noticed that it had a strange scent.
She immediately decided not to drink it.
However, her mind suddenly turned dazed and she felt as though she had lost control of her own limbs. She then lifted the bowl from the table and drank it all.
In their previous life, Bai Qinghao had coincidentally seen her cing the bowl down. He then rushed forward to ask urgently about what she had drunk.
Her consciousness finally then returned to her. However, she immediately felt an intense wave of pain in her stomach and it left her unable to speak.
Afterwards, it was revealed that it was a bowl of abortion medicine. Her child was lost just like that.
At the time, all the Bai family¡¯s elders, as well as Bai Qinghao, believed that she had intentionally taken the medicine to abort the child.
The Bai family¡¯s elders were upset to the point where they demanded Bai Qinghao to divorce her.
Bai Qinghao also grew to hate her deeply.
¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you be cruel to the point of killing your own child? If you have the ability, you shoulde after me and take my life! Why did you harm an unborn child!¡± Bai Qinghao had demanded in rage.
Despite the time that had passed, his words remained deeply engraved in her heart.
However, no matter how she exined it, he refused to believe that she had not done it willingly.
Chapter 630 - Chicken That Couldnt Lay Eggs
Chapter 630: Chicken That Couldn¡¯t Lay Eggs
Who asked her to dere time after time that she wanted to abort the child? In her previous life, she hadmitted too many evil deeds and destroyed everyone¡¯s trust in her. The Bai family were once again disappointed in her.
She was too heartbroken by the incident and starved for nearly half a month. Finally, when she was only left with skins and bones, Bai Qinghao stopped mentioning this matter again.
Ever since that incident, she could no longer conceive again.
That bowl of medicine not only killed her child. It had also harmed her body.
Everyone mocked her for being a chicken that couldn¡¯ty eggs.
The Bai family naturally did not want a daughter-inw who could not conceive. Furthermore, everyone believed that this was a result of her own actions. Even Bai Qinghao had to endure the pressure from the elders.
Despite this, Bai Qinghao would rather end his own bloodline than to abandon her. In fact, in order to protect her, he nearly cut off his rtions with the Bai family.
On several asions, Fang Xinxin realised that Bai Qinghao would visit a small roomte at night. The room was filled with various items meant for babies.
There were prams, diapers, milk powder, rice powder¡
She had asked the butler about this and he informed her that Bai Qinghao had personally chosen these items after learning that she was pregnant.
She had stood outside the room to watch as Bai Qinghao touched the items in heartache. On many asions, his eyes had been wet.
It was clear that he had loved their unborn child dearly.
Fang Xinxin could never understand why she had lost control over her body and drank that medicine.
Aside from this, there were also several asions where shemited foolish acts outside of her control. Each one of these incidents pushed her into a deeper hole.
She had secretly investigated this matter and it took a long time before she finally learned that Bai Jingrou was capable of hypnotising others!
Unfortunately, Bai Jingrou was extremely skilled. Through all the experiences she had, she could not find the slightest evidence to prove that Bai Jingrou was behind it all.
She returned to herself from those memories.
Fang Xinxin recalled the child she had lost and a hint of hatred shed past her eyes as she nced at Bai Jingrou.
Bai Jingrou assumed that she had unintentionally stepped on Fang Xinxin¡¯s sore spot and smirked.
If this woman could not conceive, God was truly on her side.
Bai Qinghao brought Fang Xinxin upstairs. It was clear that the two of them were going to rest.
Bai Jingrou took in their back views. The man appeared tall and broad-shouldered while the woman was small and slender. Appearance-wise, they appeared to be a match made in heaven.
However, Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t supposed to upy the space by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. That space belonged to her!
Beneath Bai Jingrou¡¯s refined appearance, her jealousy was spilling over.
She paid attention to movements from Bai Qinghao¡¯s room for quite some time.
The two of them did not leave their room even once.
Jingrou was extremely angry!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s room was especially extravagant and luxurious. Whenever he wasn¡¯t around, only the helpers were allowed to enter his room to clean it.
Fang Xinxin, however, had moved into his room openly and was even on the receiving end of Bai Qinghao¡¯s doting.
She couldn¡¯t be hasty about this matter.
Despite this situation, Bai Jingrou told herself that she had waited for over twenty years. A little while longer wouldn¡¯t make much difference.
The next morning, it was nearly 9:00 when Bai Qinghao brought Fang Xinxin downstairs.
Bai Chongshan was watching the television in the living room. He took in their glowing demeanors and felt that his great-grandchildren were on their way. ¡°I¡¯m an old man, so I didn¡¯t wait for you young people for breakfast.¡±
Chapter 631 - Poisoned Food
Chapter 631: Poisoned Food
Last night, Fang Xinxin nearly died in Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms.
However, since they had just collected their marriage certificate, she decided to let him have his way.
¡°Cousin, Miss Fang,e and have breakfast.¡± Bai Jingrou brought three tes of steaks out from the kitchen. There was also milk and bread prepared on the table. ¡°I prepared breakfast myself. Come and have a taste.¡±
She smiled kindly.
Fang Xinxin did not dare to eat Bai Jingrou¡¯s food. She was worried that it was poisoned. Even if it was not poisoned, she wouldn¡¯t eat anything made by her.
Bai Qinghao frowned and instructed the staff. ¡°Take it all away!¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The helpers waiting by the side rushed to remove the dishes from the dining table.
Bai Jingrou did not expect Bai Qinghao to not give her any face. A hint of humiliation appeared on her expression and she seemed to want to cry. ¡°Cousin, I understand that you have mysophobia and that you won¡¯t have the food prepared by outsiders. But I wore a pair of gloves when I prepared breakfast and I paid special attention to hygiene.¡±
Bai Chongshan heard this from where he sat on the carved, red wood sofa. A hint of heartache shed past his eyes. ¡°Jingrou, I told you that Qinghao won¡¯t eat your food and asked you not to be a busybody. You should have listened to me.¡±
The helpers quickly served a new set of dishes. The kitchen had prepared minced meat porridge, bird¡¯s nest soup, sunny side-ups, French sandwiches¡
Bai Qinghao was expressionless. He acted as though Bai Jingrou was invisible while he tugged Fang Xinxin towards her seat.
¡°Cousin, I know that you don¡¯t like me, but I truly see you as family. I waited all morning for you and I haven¡¯t even had breakfast¡¡± Jingrou¡¯s tears rolled down her cheeks.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze finally shifted onto her for a moment. He said ruthlessly, ¡°No one asked you to wait. Stop looking for trouble.¡±
She turned pale. To him, her grievance and requests for his favour were seen as attempts to look for trouble!
However, if she truly did as he said, she wouldn¡¯t even have the opportunity to appear before his eyes!
Fang Xinxin really loved Bai Qinghao. She liked that he had no space for any other women but herself in his heart.
Bai Jingrou watched as they fed each other breakfast. Almost sobbing, she ran out of the living room in heartbreak.
¡°My daughter¡¡± Huang Zhishu who was also in the living room initially stayed silent. However, she could not help feeling worried and quickly chased after her.
Next to the Chinese-style garden, Bai Jingrou hatefully snapped the roses that were blooming beautifully.
One by one, every blooming flower was snapped off the branch. Her vicious gaze appeared to be imagining the branches as Fang Xinxin¡¯s life.
Huang Zhishu approached in heartache. ¡°My daughter¡¡±
¡°Mom!¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°I¡¯ve liked Bai Qinghao for more than twenty years. Why won¡¯t he look at me? Fang Xinxin, that vixen, she stole him from me!¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao is yours. No one can take him away!¡± Huang Zhishu narrowed her eyes. The wrinkles on the corner of her eyes also crinkled up. ¡°You have to be patient. Urgency will only lead you to make mistakes.¡±
¡°You always say that¡¡±
Huang Zhishu patted her on the back and began to educate her. ¡°That year, your adopted father, Bai Pu, also had feelings for someone else. He was deeply in love with a vixen named Hu Lewei. I approached him step by step and not only ruined Hu Luwei but even convinced your adopted father to bring Chenxi and you into the Bai family.¡±
¡°Mom, did our adopted father know that my brother and I are¡¡±
Zhishu cut her off. ¡°Of course not. He always believed that I was a virtuous woman who loved him deeply. If it wasn¡¯t because he was Elder Bai¡¯s oldest son and had the Bai family¡¯s support, how could I possibly have been interested in him? His younger brother, Bai Hong, is quite outstanding. It¡¯s a pity that he is extremely loyal. Aside from his wife, Ye Yunzhi, he isn¡¯t interested in any other woman.¡±
Chapter 632 - Calligraphy Challenge
Chapter 632: Calligraphy Challenge
¡°Even the president has to give way to Bai Hong. Why didn¡¯t you seduce Bai Hong instead?¡± Bai Jingrou asked.
¡°I tried but it was to no avail. Bai Hong is much wiser than Bai Pu. Additionally, though his wife, Ye Yunzhi, doesn¡¯t appear like someone who would step in, she isn¡¯t someone you can ignore. She also has the support of a powerful family. It truly wasn¡¯t easy to deal with them. Furthermore, I came to know of Bai Hong after I became Bai Pu¡¯s wife. With Bai Hong¡¯s character, he would never touch his elder brother¡¯s woman. I was also worried the Bai family would look deeper into you siblings¡¯ identity¡¡± Huang Zhishu sighed. ¡°Due to various reasons, I could only be the Bai family¡¯s useless son¡¯s wife.¡±
¡°You already did very well.¡± Bai Jingrou responded warmly. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t stepped into the Bai family, where would the glory and wealth we¡¯re enjoying today be?¡±
¡°Indeed.¡± Huang Zhishu caressed her daughter¡¯s hair softly. ¡°My daughter is so outstanding. I was restricted by too many factors and could only seduce Bai Pu. But you¡¯re different¡¡±
She narrowed her eyes slightly. ¡°You¡¯re the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter. The Bai family spent over twenty years raising you. Even if the elders don¡¯t look upon you favourably, they at least have some feelings for you. You¡¯ve also be the Long Group¡¯s only sessor.¡±
¡°Only an outstanding man like Bai Qinghao is good enough for me.¡± Bai Jingrou responded firmly. ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve liked Bai Qinghao for over two decades. The more he disdains me, the more I must obtain him.¡±
¡°Back then, on several asions when I ¡®acted up¡¯, Bai Pu had still been protecting Hu Lewei. A few instances doesn¡¯t represent anything.¡±
Bai Jingrou gathered herself back together. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely make sure that Fang Xinxin ends up in an even worse state that Hu Lewei did that year!¡±
¡°This is how my daughter should act.¡± Huang Zhishu reminded her. ¡°Right now, you must maintain yourposure. To make Bai Qinghao disappointed in Fang Xinxin, you have to work step by step. Do you understand?¡±
¡°As your daughter, I won¡¯t perform worse than you.¡±
¡
An hourter, Grandfather Bai Chongshan instructed the helpers to ce a square table in the Chinese-style garden. A calligraphy brush, ink, as well as empty white scrolls were prepared.
Bai Chenxi apanied by his side.
¡°Grandfather, are you nning on writing?¡± Bai Jingrou approached him with a smile.
¡°That¡¯s right. Are you feeling better?¡± Calligraphy was one of Bai Chongshan¡¯s greatest hobbies. He lifted the brush and dipped it into the ink before writing on the scroll in smooth, daring strokes.
Bai Jingrou obediently responded. ¡°I¡¯m feeling much better. Thank you for your concern, Grandfather.¡±
Bai Chongshan saw that Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were standing nearby beneath several trees. He waved at them toe over.
The two of them approached the ce.
Bai Chongshan lifted the scroll he had just written on. ¡°Look at what I just wrote.¡±
¡°Your strokes are smooth and daring. This is a really good piece,¡± Fang Xinxin gave a simple but truthful praise.
¡°Grandfather, I also wish to practice my calligraphy.¡± For the sake of pleasing this old man, Bai Jingrou had been practising her calligraphy secretly. Right now, she could already manage a good piece of calligraphy work.
¡°Good, good.¡± Bai Chongshan nodded.
Jingrou picked up the brush and narrowed her eyes schemingly. She then wrote fourplicated characters that required many strokes. Every stroke she left behind was made suitably and her words appeared very pleasing.
Bai Chenxi rubbed his chin and waspletely at a loss as to what his sister had written. ¡°Jingrou, what did you write?¡±
Huang Zhishu approached from the house and took in the unique words on the scroll. ¡°I don¡¯t recognise these words either.¡± She turned curiously towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Miss Fang, you¡¯re well-educated and are a talented woman from the famous Jing Hua University. I¡¯m sure you must recognise these words.¡±
Chapter 633 - Hidden Strengths
Chapter 633: Hidden Strengths
The question was suddenly directed towards her. Fang Xinxin realised that this family had schemed together to make things difficult for her and humiliate her. However, things would not go their way this easily.
Bai Jinghao frowned. He did not enjoy calligraphy. ¡°None of you understand these words, why would you ask Xinxin about it?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t these the words ¡®Zan Yin Shi Zu¡¯ written in the Qin Script calligraphy style?¡± Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult at all. It¡¯s very simple.¡±
Bai Jingrou was unhappy. ¡°Miss Fang, you¡¯re exaggerating too much just because you recognise these words. Qin Script calligraphy is extremely difficult. It took me many years of practice to achieve this level of words.¡±
Even Bai Chongshan nodded in agreement. ¡°Xinxin, if you¡¯re unable to outperform Jingrou¡¯s calligraphy, you¡¯ll have to be more humble.¡±
¡°Grandfather!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark. ¡°Xinxin knows how to conduct herself well.¡±
Fang Xinxin was overjoyed that her husband stood firmly on her side. Bai Qinghao was unaware that she was well-versed with Qin Script calligraphy.
She smiled. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you guys? Who says I¡¯m not being humble? All I said was that Qin calligraphy is simple. Let me demonstrate it for you guys.¡±
She approached the square table and lifted the brush, dipping it into the ink. She then wrote a whole paragraph of words in Qin Script with ease.
Her appearance was stunning and her posture was at ease. Her focused expression as she moved the brush was especially charming.
Everyone present was dazed.
Even the way she wrote made for a stunning scenery,meant to be admired.
As she ced the brush down, everyone took in the words she had written in Qin Script with amazement:
¡®One must study to enhance theirpetency, one must strengthen their resolve to study. Over-excessive indulgence will obstruct one from inspiring their spirits, a violent spirit cannot draw respect.
The passing years and our withering ambitions will eventually leave us with a crippled spirit. If we do not broaden our horizons and choose to instead lock ourselves up in misery, what¡¯s the use for regret when it¡¯s toote!¡¯
¡°Good words!¡± Bai Chongshan eximed in admiration. ¡°Xinxin, most of the young people these days aren¡¯t familiar with Qin Script. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so skilled in this area.¡±
Bai Chenxi was simrly astonished.
Fang Xinxin had a beautiful singing voice and her appearance was charming without any ws. Although he could not recognise the words she had written, even from the point of someone unfamiliar with calligraphy, he felt that her words were written with spirit and were strangely pleasing to the eyes.
He wondered if she had any other secrets hidden away.
A heavy sense of regret was festering in his chest. He strongly regretted not epting her confession back then.
Although he was now developing feelings for her, he no longer dared to express it due to Bai Qinghao¡¯s presence.
Bai Qinghao approached Fang Xinxin¡¯s side and took the brush from her hands, cing it down. He gently caressed her slightly messy hair. ¡°How many more surprises do you have waiting for me?¡±
¡°Just a few.¡± She smiled.
For example, she had special abilities.
She nced towards Bai Jingrou who had just recovered from shock.
And that seemingly soft and weak woman even knew how to hypnotise others.
In this lifetime, she wanted to see exactly who was more capable between the two of them!
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Fang to be this skilled at Qin Script.¡± Bai Jingrou praised unwillingly. She wasn¡¯t foolish enough to lie through her teeth and im that these words were poor. Doing so would only cause her to appear especially narrow-minded.
¡°Earlier, Miss Bai gave me a test. I would also like to ask now. What do you think are these words I wrote?¡± Fang Xinxin asked.
Bai Jingrou read the passage out. ¡°I truly do not know where these words are from.¡±
Bai Chongshan picked up the scroll Fang Xinxin had written on and admired it. ¡°These words are from Zhu Ge Liang¡¯s . It teaches that without proper hard work and a good resolve, one cannot attain good results in their studies. Overindulgence and idleness stops us from gathering our resolve. If we allow our ambition to wither away with time, we will only be left with regrets when we find ourselves to have be someone without any aplishments.¡±
Chapter 634 - Promise To Jingrou
Chapter 634: Promise To Jingrou
¡°As expected, Grandfather knows the most.¡± Fang Xinxin sincerely admired Grandfather Bai¡¯s vast knowledge. Just like the teachings from these words, she also hoped to achieve more while she was young and to prevent herself from regretting muchter. Thus, she had been working especially hard during the past two years.
¡°Miss Fang¡¯s Qin Script is much better than mine.¡± Bai Jingrou understood when it was best to back off. ¡°I admit my defeat.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no such thing as defeat to talk about here.¡± Fang Xinxin had also practiced these words in secret. Her goal was identical to Bai Jingrou¡¯s, to win Bai Chongshan¡¯s acknowledgement.
Huang Zhishu did not expect that the daughter who always made her proud would lose at this moment. Her expression turned poor for a second before she quickly looked towards Fang Xinxin in ¡®admiration¡¯. ¡°As expected of the woman Qinghao has taken a liking to.¡±
¡°She is my wife.¡± Bai Qinghao instructed coldly. ¡°In the future, in this home, everyone will address her as Madam Bai.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Bai Jingrou could not ept this. How could a woman who had yet to marry into the family count as Madam Bai!
¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, scram out of the Bai family right now!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was stern. His words were amand and he did not allow any room for negotiations.
Huang Zhishu tugged at her daughter¡¯s hand quietly. Bai Jingrou unwillingly responded. ¡°I understand.¡±
She had her own ways of kicking Fang Xinxin off the stage.
This was but a form of addressing her. She would endure it for the time being.
Bai Chongshan seemed to have thought of something and began. ¡°Qinghao, ah. Jingrou has been working in apany for almost two years and has been promoted to a managerial role. Her abilities are outstanding. I know that your Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Fashion Design Department is looking for a Chief Designer. Grandfather has already promised to let her train in yourpany for a few months.¡±
A hint of displeasure shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze. ¡°Grandfather, haven¡¯t you always agreed to not interfere with mypany?¡±
¡°Grandfather should not have agreed to this without asking for your opinion.¡± A hint of guilt appeared on Bai Chongshan¡¯s face. ¡°But for the past two years, Chenxi, Jingrou and your aunt, Huang Zhishu, have been apanying me in the old mansion. You and your parents rarely visit. They¡¯ve worked hard to apany me. Jingrou is someone with abilities yet she¡¯s been ving away at somebody else¡¯s smallpany. She doesn¡¯t have much experience that she can boast of. Give her an opportunity to work at your Sheng Shi Group. Even if she stays there only briefly, it will help her obtain a higher pay in the future.¡±
Bai Jingrou heard the word, ¡®pay¡¯ and breathed out of her nose heavily as a silent sneer.
Her n was to quickly inherit the Long Group and to take on the position of Madam Bai.
The Long Group¡¯s old director was extremely wise. He did not allow her to interfere with the Long Group¡¯s business and the meaning behind his words were clear: she did not have enough experience.
If she gained some experience in the Sheng Shi Group, that old man would have no other reasons to stop her from inheriting the Long Group!
Although she felt this way internally, she quickly said, ¡°Cousin, don¡¯t worry. If I don¡¯t perform well at work, you can fire me anytime.¡±
The entire family was urging Bai Jingrou to step into the Sheng Shi Group. Fang Xinxin felt that they had to be scheming something behind their backs. She was stumped as to how to convince Bai Qinghao to reject them.
Bai Qinghao responded indifferently. ¡°I have already promised to give Fang Xinxin the position of Chief Designer in the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Fashion Design Department.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes lit up. What a wonderful husband! Although, he had never actually promised her this.
¡°Ah, I forgot. Xinxin also studies fashion design. Her third year of studies will be ending soon. Indeed, it¡¯s time for her to look for an appropriate internship.¡± A hint of regret shed past Bai Chongshan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have promised Jingrou.¡±
Chapter 635 - Meeting An Elder
Chapter 635: Meeting An Elder
Throughout his lifetime, he had fulfilled all the promises he made and would not go back on his word easily.
Bai Qinghao knew very well that his Grandfather preferred to keep his word and deliberated over how to solve this matter well.
This opportunity would affect her chances of inheriting the Long Group. Hence, Bai Jingrou refused to back off easily. ¡°Cousin, I saw on the news that yourpany has designed a new collection of clothing and is about to begin its production. Between Miss Fang and I¡ how about we both spend three hours to design a product. For the sake of fairness, we will both do it in an empty room with surveince cameras. Afterwards, we will hand our work over anonymously and allow thepany leaders to vote. Whoever¡¯s design wins will take the position of the Chief Designer.¡±
¡°That¡¯s very fair.¡± Bai Chongshan nodded. ¡°Qinghao, what do you think?¡±
¡°I agree,¡± Fang Xinxin responded first.
She understood very well that Bai Qinghao did not wish for his grandfather to go back on his word.
A hint of victory shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes. Fang Xinxin was still a university undergraduate. How was she supposed topete with someone who had more than two years of working experience?
Huang Zhishu was very confident in her daughter¡¯s design skills as well.
Fang Xinxin was doomed to lose. When that happened, she would not only lose the position of the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Chief Designer but would also lose face as Madam Bai!
Bai Qinghao nodded in acknowledgement.
Although he was uncertain about Xinxin¡¯s chances, her promises were the same as his.
Bai Qinghao apanied Xinxin for a little while longer. As there was a lot of work to manage at thepany, he quickly left for work.
He nned to finish all the urgent business in his hands right now and to look through the projects that were awaiting approval. This way, after their wedding, he could spare some time to have a honeymoon with Xinxin.
Elder Bai was in his seventies. After practicing calligraphy for a while, he grew tired and returned to his room.
Huang Zhishu and her children also left.
Fang Xinxin was strolling through the yard on her own when she noticed an elderly man dressed in a Zhong Shan attire with a head of gray hair. He sat on a stone stool around the corner and held a walking stick in his hand.
He was the Long Group¡¯s old director, Long Jingyuan.
As she sized him up, Long Jingyuan also turned to look at her. He was immediately taken aback by her stunning beauty. But he nodded at her politely.
For some reason, Long Jingyuan found this youngdy to be rather familiar.
¡°Director Long, what are you doing here?¡± Fang Xinxin greeted him with a smile.
¡°Do you know me?¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s grayed brows shifted slightly.
¡°I¡¯ve seen your photos on the news.¡± Fang Xinxin responded honestly. ¡°You appear more friendly than you do in pictures.¡±
¡°That¡¯s interesting.¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s face crinkled with his smile. ¡°Everyone says that I appear stern. You¡¯re the first to say that I look friendly.¡±
¡°For some reason, I find you especially friendly and approachable.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled lightly. ¡°You may think that I¡¯m saying this to tter you, but I genuinely feel that way.¡±
¡°I recognise you as well. You must be Fang Xinxin.¡± Long Jingyuan responded with a smile. ¡°A year ago, your face was frequently seen across the media.¡±
¡°It must have drawn yourughter.¡± She responded helplessly. ¡°The Fang family has too much poor news circting outside.¡±
She took in the elderly in front of her and recalled that he would soon pass her way¡
For some reason, she felt deeply upset about this.
She did not wish for him to die.
Chapter 636 - Familiarity And Warmth
Chapter 636: Familiarity And Warmth
She considered reminding Long Jingyuan to be wary of Bai Jingrou.
However, Bai Jingrou was his blood rted granddaughter. What position was she supposed to use to remind him of this? No one would suspect their own granddaughter, right?
This could even lead her to be seen as someone harboring unfathomable motives.
Bai Jingrou suddenly rushed over urgently. ¡°Grandfather, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you wereing? The Bai family¡¯s yard is so big. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find you.¡±
She saw that Fang Xinxin was also present and her heart instantly skipped a beat.
She absolutely could not allow these two people to be too familiar with each other!
Long Jingyuan responded to Bai Jingrou. ¡°Jingrou ah, Grandfather is worried that you¡¯re not living well in the old mansion. I came specially to see you. In fact, I know Bai Chongshan, that old man, rather well. I was allowed to enter the Bai family¡¯s mansion without any trouble.¡±
¡°Is that so? That¡¯s wonderful.¡± Although Bai Jingrou responded this way, she felt that this wasn¡¯t a good thing.
Long Jingyuan repeatedly interfered with her inheritance of the Long Group. If backed into a corner, she would have to eliminate him¡ If Long Jingyuan and Bai Chongshan were close, and the Bai family interfered with his death, she would have to face trouble. In that case, she would have to be especially careful about this matter.
¡°I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to disturb their reunion. Thus, she headed for the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
¡°Wait a moment.¡± Long Jingyuan took in her backview and strangely felt that he could not bear to part from her. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Could you give Grandfather your phone number?¡±
Grandfather¡ Bai Jingrou¡¯s heart began pounding when she heard the way Long Jingyuan addressed himself to Fang Xinxin.
He even called her ¡®Xinxin¡¯ so familiarly.
Could it be that this old man had discovered something?
¡°I addressed myself as your Grandfather without your approval.¡± Long Jingyan exined. ¡°Xinxin, since I¡¯m older than you, don¡¯t mind this.¡±
¡°You¡¯re my elder. It¡¯s only right that I address you as Grandfather.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was warm. She turned back and brought her phone out to say. ¡°Please give me your phone number. I will give you a call.¡±
He did as she said.
She then quickly dialled his number, exchanging contact information with him.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression turned dark for a moment.
After Fang Xinxin had left, she leaned against Long Jingyuan¡¯s shoulder sweetly. ¡°Grandfather, why are you treating a stranger so well? I¡¯m your actual granddaughter!¡±
Long Jingyuan could not exin why he was strangely very fond of Fang Xinxin from the first moment. But he found a suitable excuse to cate her. ¡°She will soon be Madam Bai. Although the Long Group is also an influential family like the Bai family, we are still second to them. There are benefits to building a good rtionship with her.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s voice was filled with grievance. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t like me as your granddaughter.¡±
Long Jingyuan patted her on the shoulder dotingly. ¡°You¡¯re my only living rtive. How could I possibly dislike you? In the future, the Long Group will rely on you.¡±
¡°Grandfather, when will you let me work at the Long Group then?¡± Only by stepping into the Long Group could she gain better control of the Long family¡¯s finances.
¡°There¡¯s no rush. You should train for a little while more.¡± Long Jingyuan patted himself on the chest. ¡°Grandfather is still as healthy as a bull. I can manage thepany for another ten years with no problem.¡±
Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly¡ if she waited for those many years, everything would be meaningless by then!
This old thing had better not force her to push him into a coffin.
¡°I¡¯ll be working at the Sheng Shi Group from tomorrow onwards.¡± She took a step backwards in an attempt to make several steps forward.
She said softly, ¡°If I perform well at my cousin¡¯spany, I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll have the time to take over the Long Group in the future. You know that I only wish to be your granddaughter. I¡¯m not interested in the Long Group¡¯s money.¡±
Chapter 637 - Xiao Aiting
Chapter 637: Xiao Aiting
Long Jingyuan did not express his intentions. ¡°Whether or not you desire it, you are still the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. Who asked you to be Grandfather¡¯s only living rtive? It¡¯s a good thing that the Bai family is willing to let you into the Sheng Shi Group.¡±
Did this mean that the Bai family was beginning to acknowledge her character?
Bai Jingrou initially thought to ask him to visit her frequently at the Bai mansion. However, she recalled that Fang Xinxin would be living here for a period and did not dare to do so. She was worried that unexpected problems would ur.
Long Jingyuan held the walking stick in his hands and headed into the old mansion with Bai Jingrou¡¯s support. He yed a few rounds of chess with Bai Chongshan while sipping on some tea.
His granddaughter busied herself the entire time, taking good care of him.
He wasn¡¯t certain why but he felt extremely distant from his granddaughter.
Was it because they were separated for over twenty years and had never lived together?
¡
The next morning, at 7:40, a Bugatti Veyron drove into the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s main office¡¯s car park located in the business district.
Work began at 8:00 a.m. and the employees tended to flood in around this time.
Fang Xinxin alighted from the extravagantly luxurious Bugatti Veyron. A crowd of employees had already begun to gather when her car came to a stop.
¡°Wow, it¡¯s a Bugatti!¡± A female employee eximed.
There were also male employees sizing up the car to discuss. ¡°This car is worth over twenty-five million dors. Very few people can afford it even in a bustling ce like the city centre¡¡±
Everyone watched as Fang Xinxin alighted and people were further taken aback. They allmented. ¡°A good car is trulypatible with a beautiful woman!¡±
¡°Tsk, isn¡¯t it just Fang Xinxin? Look at that car te. Even ghosts would recognise it. Wasn¡¯t Boss the one who bought this car for her?¡± A female employee located at the back of the crowd sounded particrly jealous. ¡°If she was relying on herself, as a broke female student whose family has gone bankrupt, I bet she wouldn¡¯t be able to afford a Cherry QQ worth a few thousand dors.¡±
Most of the people who parked their cars here were employees from the Sheng Shi Group. When they overheard her words, they all turned to look at her in amazement.
Another female employee tugged on her sleeves and whispered. ¡°Xiao Aiting, don¡¯t you know who she is? She is our future CEO¡¯s wife. Don¡¯t offend her.¡±
The employee named Xia Aiting harrumphed coldly. ¡°So what if she is the future CEO¡¯s wife? That¡¯s only because she is lucky.¡± She asked in Fang Xinxin¡¯s direction, ¡°Miss Fang, won¡¯t you allow us to speak the truth? Tell us yourself. If Boss didn¡¯t not purchase this Bugatti for you, would you have the right to own such a car?¡±
The crowd of employees turned to look at Fang Xinxin with strange expressions.
They all felt that Xiao Aiting was somewhat correct.
But the truth was, with Fang Xinxin¡¯s achievements today, she could easily purchase a Bugatti Veyron worth over twenty-five million dors. She simply chose not to do so.
Fang Xinxin asked indifferently. ¡°In that case, who do you think has the right to own this car?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter. Only Miss Bai Jingrou, who is the true granddaughter of the Long Group can afford such a luxurious car.¡± Xiao Aiting¡¯s expression was filled with admiration as she spoke about Bai Jingrou. ¡°She is the Long Group¡¯s only sessor and is a proper well-breddy from a good family. Her status is extremely valuable.¡±
Fang Xinxin noticed that Bai Jingrou¡¯s car had coincidentally driven into the carpark. After parking her car, Bai Jingrou immediately approached them. ¡°Bai Jingrou herself can¡¯t afford a Bugatti Veyron. Didn¡¯t you see? Her car is a Mercedes-Benz worth only a few hundred thousand dors.¡±
¡°Only a few hundred thousand dors¡¡± Xiao Aiting appeared to have heard an especially amusing joke.
She scanned the silent crowd around them. ¡°Everyone, did you hear that? It seems like a few hundred thousand dors isn¡¯t a lot to Fang Xinxin. She¡¯s been acting like a leech and clinging onto our boss. I bet that if you leave our boss, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to afford a thousand dors!¡±
Chapter 638 - Chief Designer
Chapter 638: Chief Designer
Fang Xinxin smiled.
The Qiao Yang Finance Group that she had established was involved in various industries. It¡¯s yearly profit was more than ten digits.
To speak the truth, she had never taken a single cent from Bai Qinghao to establish her own business. She had also never relied on Bai Qinghao¡¯s influence to get to this point. That was also why no one was aware of the aplishments she had made thus far.
She even had no trouble handing over a billion dors in cash right now if the need truly came up.
However, even if everyone felt that she was poor and deste, very few of them would openly mock her.
This was especially so considering how it was an open secret that Bai Qinghao doted on her dearly. She was also the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s future CEO¡¯s wife. As employees of Sheng Shi Group, it was unlikely for them to offend her so foolishly.
Clearly something was amiss with this Xiao Aiting.
Bai Qingrou¡¯s car was not parked very far and she had clearly overheard their words after alighting. Still, she pretended not to have heard anything as she approached them. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
¡°You must be Miss Bai Jingrou. Aiyo, I¡¯ve seen your photos on the news. I¡¯ve heard a lot of good things about you!¡± Xiao Aiting immediately put on a ttering expression.
¡°I am. You are?¡±
¡°I¡¯m Xiao Aiting, from the fashion department. I heard that you will soon be the Chief Designer in our department. Please take care of me in the future.¡±
Bai Jingrou smiled in a refined manner. ¡°That hasn¡¯t been decided yet. Today, Miss Fang and I willpete by handing over a design each. Whoever wins will be the Chief Designer.¡±
¡°How is she possibly your opponent?¡± Xiao Aiting ttered her. ¡°If she weren¡¯t relying on Bai Qinghao¡¯s status, you would have easily crushed her just as the great Long Group¡¯sdy. Besides, I¡¯ve seen your designs. You¡¯ve won the third ce in an internationalpetition, haven¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Wow!¡± An employee eximed. ¡°To win third ce in an internationalpetition means that she must be an outstanding expert.¡±
The crowd began to whisper among themselves. ¡°I heard that the position of Chief Designer was already fixed for Miss Bai Jingrou. It was Fang Xinxin who interfered¡ Fang Xinxin is an inexperienced student who has just finished her third year of university. I bet she¡¯ll suffer a humiliating loss this time¡¡±
Fang Xinxin took in everyone¡¯s reaction.
She then nced at Bai Jingrou. Although Bai Jingrou had a refined smile on and was dressed appropriately, a hint of satisfaction shed past her eyes.
Fang Xinxin immediately understood.
She heard that the position was fixed¡ For this matter, aside from Bai Qinghao and Bai Chongshan, only Bai Jingrou and her family knew of it. The first two would never spread news about it. It was most likely that Bai Jingrou had been the one spreading the rumours.
As for Xiao Aiting, seeing how she was so hasty to step on her future CEO¡¯s wife, she had most likely been won over by Bai Jingrou.
Bai Jingrou was cunning and ruthless. She was much harder to deal with than Fang Manxue.
In her previous life, she had suffered countless losses. Her miscarriage, the loss of her sight, the ident that left her paralysed¡
Even then, she had failed to find the instigator and could only rely on her instincts to guess that it had been Bai Jingrou.
Bai Jingrou truly hid her schemes too well.
Bai Jingrou had to be very pleased with her position as the Long Group¡¯s sessor. Unfortunately, she was used to being seen as refined in front of others and it was not suitable for her to bring this matter up herself.
Thus, she relied on someone else to do it for her.
Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. ¡°In which internationalpetition did you win such an outstanding prize? Share it with us so that we can admire you for it.¡±
¡°Oh, it isn¡¯t anything big¡¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was humble.
¡°You only have the right to admire her for it.¡± Xiao Aiting shot Fang Xinxin with a look of disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re amazing just because you¡¯re Jing Hua University¡¯s star student. You haven¡¯t even stepped into the working society. I¡¯ll give you a reminder out of the goodness of my heart. Your aplishments are only sufficient for you to y pretend.¡±
Chapter 639 - Distorted Information
Chapter 639: Distorted Information
She was implying that Fang Xinxin only had the abilities to please Bai Qinghao in bed.
Fang Xinxin naturally had no trouble understanding this. But she did not get upset.
Instead, she brought a folded newspaper out of her back and showed the crowd one of the pages. ¡°Bai Jingrou won the third prize in thispany, didn¡¯t she?¡±
¡°So, you know about it. Yes, that¡¯s the one.¡± Xiao Aiting immediately nodded. ¡°It¡¯s time you admitted your defeat.¡±
Fang Xinxin ced the newspaper on the bo of her car. ¡°Everyone, please take a good look. Although the headline says that Bai Jingrou won the third ce, the truth is that it was thepany she worked at, Xing Feng Fashion Company, which participated in thepetition along with fifteen other fashionpanies from the city centre to try and win the third ce. Of course, I agree that this also requires some level of capability. Afterwards, ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ submitted her design to an international designpetition. But she did not win the third prize. Journalists these days sure are willing to write headlines carelessly to draw in readers.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was slightly poor and Xiao Aiting immediately jumped in to protect her. ¡°There¡¯s a chance that Miss Bai will win a prize in the internationalpetition.¡±
¡°There is a time difference in the two countries but the result from the internationalpetition has just been released. Unfortunately, Miss Bai¡¯s design did not win any award.¡± Fang Xinxin tapped on her phone and revealed the results for thepetition.
Bai Jingrou smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The process is more important than the result.¡±
Xiao Aiting demanded in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what¡¯s wrong with you? It¡¯s none of your business that Bai Jingrou participated in thepetition. Do you have to tear her face down in front of a crowd?¡±
The group of employees around them did not express their opinion. Silence was gold.
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Are you the only one allowed to boast in front of others? I¡¯ll return your question from earlier. What¡¯s wrong with me telling everyone the truth?¡±
¡°You!¡± Xiao Aiting was left speechless. ¡°Bai Jingrou is the only sessor of the outstanding Long Group. You¡¯ll never be able topete against her.¡±
This time, the agreement on everyone¡¯s faces was also clear. They simply chose to remain silent.
Fang Xinxin also noticed their secretly pleased expressions.
It was likely that there were still people who enjoyed talking about how she had be a phoenix after clinging onto the right tree branch. ¡°I have no intention of arguing about this. After all, everyone dreams of having a good background. No one has the right to choose the circumstances to which they are born. But the hard work we put in after, can change a lot of things. Likewise, I haven¡¯t taken anything from Bai Qinghao. I love him dearly and there is no way I would take anything from him. Soon, you will all understand this. Work will begin in 10 minutes. Let¡¯s stop crowding around here.¡±
Everyone checked the time and immediately began running towards the lounge on the first floor.
¡°All you can do is talk big. If you have the ability, bring out some proper aplishments.¡± Xiao Aiting shot her a mocking look and rushed to leave.
¡°Miss Fang, I didn¡¯t expect the Sheng Shi Group to have such a sharp-mouthed employee.¡± A hint of apology appeared on Bai Jingrou¡¯s face. ¡°Although my birth is above yours, I never thought to use it to suppress you. Please don¡¯t be offended.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t even release a fart when everyone was gathering around us. All you did was silently enjoy the attention. There¡¯s no need to act as a hypocrite right now.¡± Fang Xinxin could not be bothered to deal with her. She turned and headed for the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s office building.
She stepped through the revolving doors and made her way through the extravagant lounge.
The employees¡¯ lifts were flooded and there was a crowd of people queuing for it. Some of the employees had chosen to take the stairs.
The lift meant for the upper management on the left, however, waspletely empty.
Chapter 640 - Give My Place
Chapter 640: Give My ce
She hesitated for a moment before stepping into the lift meant for the upper management.
The group of employees noticed this and some of them immediately felt unhappy. Xiao Aiting immediately spoke up for them. ¡°Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t have any title whatsoever in the Sheng Shi Group. What right does she have to take that lift?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The rest of the employees were about to bete but could only wait for the elevator. They suppressed their anger silently.
Bai Jingrou watched as Fang Xinxin stepped into the lift and wanted to follow. However, the bodyguard standing by the side immediately stopped her. ¡°My apologies, Miss. Please show me your upper management staff pass.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have it¡¡±
¡°In that case, you can not take this lift.¡± The bodyguard handled this matter professionally.
Bai Jingrou pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Why is she allowed to, then? She isn¡¯t an upper management staff either.¡±
The bodyguard responded. ¡°She is our CEO¡¯s future wife. Her face itself is proof of her identity.¡±
¡°I¡¯m Bai Jingrou, the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter. Could you make a concession for me?¡±
¡°Please head to the employee¡¯s lift on the right.¡± The bodyguard made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture.
Bai Jingrou was stifled with anger. She noticed that the crowd of employees were all smiling in amusement as though they were mocking her. She suffered a blow internally. Her expression was cold. ¡°You¡¯re just a small bodyguard. Who gave you the courage to look down on people and treat them differently?¡±
¡°My apologies.¡± The bodyguard exined helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t wish to make things difficult for you, either. However, these are the CEO¡¯s orders. I have no choice but to abide by them.¡±
Everyone understood through his words that Bai Qinghao¡¯s rtionship with Bai Jingrou was poor. Additionally, the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter did not have much value in the Bai family.
Fang Xinxin had pressed on the lift button to keep the doors open. ¡°If Miss Bai won¡¯t take this lift, I¡¯ll head upstairs first.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯splexion alternated between red and white in humiliation. She approached the employees¡¯ lift on the right. There was a long queue and it was too awkward for her to cut the queue.
Everyone¡¯s gaze left her wishing that she could stuff her head into the ground.
She was angered to the point of wanting to take the stairs. However, the fashion design department was on the thirty-first floor. She had a pair of heels on and could not make it that far.
There were five minutes left before work would begin. If she waste on her first day of work, she would leave a poor impression on her superiors and colleagues.
She was frustrated and helpless. At this moment, Xiao Aiting waved at her from inside the lift. ¡°Miss Bai, pleasee in.¡±
¡°Hey, it isn¡¯t right to cut the queue.¡± Some of the people in the line were upset.
¡°I¡¯ll give my space up to her. Will that do?¡± Xiao Aiting stepped out of the lift and allowed Bai Jingrou in.
This time, no one had anything to say.
¡
On the thirty-first floor of the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s office building, Fang Xinxin stepped out of the elevator. The different offices down the hallway werebelled ¡®production department¡¯, ¡®business department¡¯, ¡®materials department¡¯¡
She stepped into the office marked as the fashion design department.
The moment it was 8:00 a.m., Bai Jingrou stepped into the office.
Several office tables were arranged into a neat row and there was only one empty seat left.
With their appearance, everyone immediately turned to look at the both of them.
A middle-aged man dressed in a ck suit with a blue tie was waiting for them. He introduced himself. ¡°I am the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Vice-President, Yang Tian. It¡¯s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Fang, Miss Bai.¡±
It was clear that he knew both of them.
Bai Jingrou smiled gracefully. ¡°Nice to meet you, Vice-President Yang.¡±
¡°Nice to meet you,¡± Fang Xinxin also greeted him politely.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯mte!¡± Xiao Aiting ran into the office urgently.
Yang Tian frowned sternly. ¡°It is inappropriate to act this brashly.¡±
Chapter 641 - Design Competition
Chapter 641: Design Competition
¡°I will pay attention next time.¡±
¡°Beingte once a month will lead to a fine, twice will result in a demerit point and thrice will cause you to lose your year-end bonus.¡± Yang Tian reminded her coldly. ¡°This is your second time beingte this month.¡±
Although the Sheng Shi Group was generous with its pay, it was also extremely strict with its employees.
¡°I promise there won¡¯t be a third time.¡± Xiao Aiting apologised again and took the only empty seat left in the office.
Yang Tian gestured towards the fifty fashion designers present. ¡°These individuals are all our capable fashion designers.¡± He then turned to Fang Xinxin and Bai Jingrou. ¡°In a moment, both of you willpete with one another and the winner will be their supervisor. Later, you both will follow me to a conference room and design your product there. I will supervise the process entirely and will not participate in the voting. Your designs will be submitted anonymously and twenty members from the upper management will vote for the winner.¡±
Bai Jingrou suggested. ¡°Since the winner will supervise these fifty designers, why not let them participate in the voting as well? This way, the upper management cannot be biased towards either of us.¡±
Yang Tian turned towards Fang Xinxin. Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°I agree.¡±
Bai Jingrou was still worried. ¡°Vice-President Yang, my mother would also like to supervise thispetition with you. Is that alright?¡±
After all, if Yang Tian was supervising, it meant that he would know which design belonged to whom. If he leaked the news and allowed the upper management to vote for Fang Xinxin¡¯s design¡
Thus, it would only be fair if her mother was arranged to watch Yang Tian and stop him from sharing anything.
Yang Tian naturally guessed her concerns. ¡°It seems like Miss Bai has difficulties trusting me?¡±
¡°My mother simply wishes to watch how I design.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Tian clearly did not believe her. Still, he nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Where is she right now?¡±
¡°She has already arrived in the lounge. I will ask her to supervise uster.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
In a conference room on the sixty-seventh floor, a long, extravagant conference table was installed. Rows of chairs were neatly arranged on every side.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Jingrou sat on opposite ends of the table and were separated by a significant distance.
No matter how strong their vision was, they could not see each other¡¯s design across the distance.
Various materials including pen, paper and ink had been prepared.
They were both given three hours toe up with their design.
Jingrou had already thought of her design. Thus, she immediately moved her pencil. She was certain that she would be able toplete the design within an hour. Based on speed alone, she was guaranteed to defeat Fang Xinxin.
To her surprise, after fifteen minutes, Fang Xinxin stood up. She spoke loudly and clearly. ¡°I¡¯m done!¡±
¡°So fast?¡± Bai Jingrou lifted her head and watched her in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, are you actually done?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Xinxin stepped out of the conference room.
Bai Jingrou was quite upset about this. Although she had drawn this design countless times, since it was especially intricate and unique, it still took her an hour toplete it.
She signed her name on the bottom right corner.
¡°My design isplete!¡± The moment she spoke, a female secretary stepped into the room. She used a smallbel sticker to conceal their names mentioned on their work.
This way, no one would be able to tell who the design belonged to.
The two designs were then ced side by side.
Bai Jingrou remained worried. She intentionally moved the design on the right to the left.
This way, the person from before could not get any hints about Fang Xinxin¡¯s work.
Chapter 642 - Vote Counting
Chapter 642: Vote Counting
Yang Tian watched her actions from the surveince room. His lips twitched upwards mockingly.
It seemed like Bai Jingrou¡¯s personality was especially narrow-minded.
Since CEO Bai had given the instructions for them to carry out thispetition fairly, he naturally would not allow any personal bias to interfere with the results. In addition, CEO Bai was someone who disdained such methods.
Huang Zhishu, who was also in the surveince room, noticed her daughter¡¯s actions. She took in Yang Tiang¡¯s mocking gaze and began with some embarrassment. ¡°Haha, Jingrou moved the papers carelessly¡¡±
Yang Tian replied expressionlessly. ¡°It¡¯s clear that Miss Bai believes that by cing the designs side-by-side, it would hint to the various members of the upper management that a certain design belongs to Fang Xinxin. They would then choose to vote for Fang Xinxin. She has thought too much about this. The Sheng Shi Group would never do such a thing.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure that isn¡¯t what she thought¡¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to give any exnation.¡±
¡
Ten minutester, twenty members of the upper management stepped into the conference room. Their charisma was powerful as they paused before the conference table.
Two designs were revealed one after another to them.
The design was erged and disyed on the projector. At the same time, on the thirty-first floor, the design department had also begun its voting.
Bai Jingrou watched the entire process closely. She was afraid that the voters would be biased towards Fang Xinxin¡¯s work.
At the moment, it appeared that the voting process was fair.
Twenty minutester, the votes were summed up.
Bai Qinghao stepped into the conference room dressed in a neatly-pressed suit. His footsteps were firm and his noble and cold charisma was undeniable.
With his entrance, everyone felt as though ayer of frost had formed around the entire conference room.
The CEO¡¯s assistant, Zhuo Li, followed closely behind.
Several members of the upper management were seatedzily. The moment they saw Bai Qinghao, they immediately stood up and bowed in unison. ¡°CEO Bai.¡±
¡°Sit down!¡± Bai Qinghao took the seat at the head of the table. ¡°Have the results been tallied?¡±
Anna, the secretary in charge of this matter, spoke up. ¡°Yes, Sir.¡±
¡°Where¡¯s Fang Xinxin?¡± Bai Qinghao scanned the room and could not find her.
A member of the upper management spoke up. ¡°Earlier, I noticed Miss Fang drinking coffee at the nearby Starbucks.¡±
Bai Jingrou appeared slightly unhappy. ¡°CEO Bai, please take a look at Fang Xinxin¡¯s work attitude. She actually went for coffee during work hours.¡±
Following her words, several members of the upper management frowned.
Bai Qinghao responded coldly. ¡°Neither of you have been hired yet. At the moment, she isn¡¯t thepany¡¯s employee. After submitting her design, she has the right to arrange her private time as she pleases.¡±
¡°¡¡±
Jingrou could not refute this. It seemed like he was right.
Bai Qinghao lifted his wrist and checked the time on his luxury watch. He still had other matters to handleter. ¡°We won¡¯t wait for Fang Xinxin. Go ahead and announce the results.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Anna approached herptop and arranged for the projector to disy both of the submitted works along with their umted votes.
One design had obtained seventy votes. The other had obtained¡ zero votes!
Anna removed the stickers on both works before everyone. The designer¡¯s name was then revealed.
¡°Wow¡¡± Twenty members of the upper management expressed their exmations at the same time. They appeared to be surprised by this result.
Bai Jingrou¡¯splexion had already turned pale when she saw the design that won zero votes.
Bai Qinghao frowned and asked with a heavy voice. ¡°How many people participated in the voting this time?¡±
Chapter 643 - Alice’s Work
Chapter 643: Alice¡¯s Work
¡°Twenty members of the upper management and fifty designers from the design department,¡± Anna responded respectfully.
¡°In other words, one member won all the votes.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s back was facing the projector. He did not see the winner¡¯s name.
He nced at theptop before him. To his surprise, the name was¡
Fang Xinxin stepped into the conference room with a cup of coffee. ¡°Who won all the votes? Could it be that I suffered a serious loss?¡±
She nced at the projector screen and smiled. ¡°It turns out that Bai Jingrou lost. Hahaha, she has truly thrown her face away this time.¡±
Everyone¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. She was dressed in a white suit. It cinched at the waist and perfectly entuated her slender figure. Her long hair flowed down her back and her five features were stunningly attractive.
She was truly a charming beauty!
Several members of the upper management lost their stern expressions and smiled slightly at her words.
Bai Qinghao lifted his hand and gestured towards her. ¡°Come here.¡±
Fang Xinxin tossed the cup in her hand into the trash bin and approached his side. ¡°CEO Bai, I won some face for you this time, didn¡¯t I?¡±
¡°En.¡± Bai Qinghao nced at Bai Jingrou¡¯s design before carefully taking in Fang Xinxin¡¯s.
A hint of surprise shed past his eyes. He truly did not expect that her design would be this perfect. ¡°I announce that in thispetition between Fang Xinxin and Bai Jingrou, the winner is Fang Xinxin. From this moment onwards, she will be the Chief Designer and Supervisor of the fashion design department.
The members of the upper management immediately apuded loudly.
Bai Jingrou struggled to ept the results. She had not only suffered a serious humiliation by losing thispetition. If she failed to enter the Sheng Shi Group, that old thing from the Long Group would continue to rely on herck of experience to stop her from entering the Long Group.
In that case, when would she finally gain control of the Long Group!
¡°I can¡¯t ept this!¡± Bai Jingrou normally would never go against Bai Qinghao. However, right now, she could not pause to consider this.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. ¡°What can¡¯t you ept? Do you find the voting process to be unfair?¡±
¡°The voting was conducted fairly!¡± Several members of the upper management spoke up. ¡°I voted for the design that was more outstanding.¡±
Bai Jingrou bit on her bottom lip. ¡°I¡¯m not saying that the voting is unfair. But Fang Xinxin is a university student who hasn¡¯t stepped into society properly. On the other hand, I have a lot of experience in design. How could it be that my design won zero votes?¡±
¡°Your design is too bad, duh.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed out the truth.
Everyone¡¯s gaze shifted onto the designs on the projector screen.
Fang Xinxin had designed a maxi dress. The embroidery was intricate and the design was smoothly and cleanly drawn. Her skills as a professional were undeniable. Even the brand logo drawn on it seemed to add to the beauty of this product.
On the other hand, Bai Jingrou had designed an outfit with the style of a specific ethnic group. The design was intricate,plicated and colourful. When taking both designs in side-by-side, it was clear that Fang Xinxin¡¯s work was significantly better than Bai Jingrou¡¯s.
Bai Jingrou had no way of defending her work. However, she still began firmly. ¡°There¡¯s no way of denying it. I agree that the winning piece is outstanding with no ws to pick at. However, the design style for this piece is simr to that of Alice¡¯s, the winner fromst year¡¯s international designpetition. As everyone knows, Alice does not often release her designs. However, if it¡¯s to give CEO Bai some face, I believe she would be happy to gift one to Fang Xinxin.¡±
Following her words, everyone fell silent.
Chapter 644 - I am Alice
Chapter 644: I am Alice
It seemed like this was a genuine possibility. Furthermore, her design was made with the same style as Alice¡¯s previous work.
¡°I admit my defeat if Alice¡¯s work suppresses me with everyone¡¯s votes.¡± Bai Jingrou spoke indignantly. ¡°But if Fang Xinxin has borrowed Alice¡¯s work to obtain victory, that¡¯s too¡¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Bai Qinghao raised his voice. ¡°Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t someone who would use other people¡¯s work.¡±
Bai Jingrou attempted to reason with him. ¡°I understand that CEO Bai is protecting his fianc¨¦e. However, protecting her unconditionally is unprofessional and will only make it harder for the public to ept this!¡±
Fang Xinxin directly admitted it. ¡°I admit, this design indeed belongs to Alice.¡±
Immediately, all the members of the upper management were shocked.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s brows lifted in joy. The Sheng Shi Group would never hire a designer that took someone else¡¯s work as her own. Since Fang Xinxin openly admitted to it, once the matter was released, she would not only struggle to enter the Sheng Shi Group but would never be able to find space for herself in this industry. ¡°You admitted to it yourself. Look, CEO Bai, even Fang Xinxin has confessed to it.¡±
Bai Qinghao also did not expect Fang Xinxin to be foolish enough to tell everyone this. His expression was dark. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¡±
He thought about it and decided it was not important. Even if she ended up unemployed in the future, he would raise her for the rest of his life.
Thus, he did not say anything to reprimand her.
Fang Xinxin took in everyone¡¯s strange gaze and said unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me as though I¡¯m a monster.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, you are the future Madam Bai. I truly did not expect your character to be this despicable.¡± Bai Jingrou finally had a good reason to crush her beneath her feet. ¡°You cannot take advantage of CEO Bai¡¯s favour to do as you please. Taking someone¡¯s work for your own will not only throw your face away. You are also throwing CEO Bai¡¯s face away¡¡±
Each member of the management appeared to agree with her words. The disdain was clearly disyed on their expressions.
¡°Enough!¡± Fang Xinxin cut her off. ¡°Miss Bai, I understand that you are in a rush to dere victory over me. But you should let me finish my words!¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡± Bai Jingrou refused to believe she could argue her way out of this. If she still dared to dere that this wasn¡¯t Alice¡¯s work, she would only draw more unhappiness against her. By then, the saliva from the critics would drown her alive.
¡°I am Alice,¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s clear, graceful voice could be heard from every corner of the conference room.
¡°What!¡± Amotion took over the conference room. Everyone¡¯s gaze was filled with astonishment.
A hint of surprise also shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze. His Xinxin truly took him by surprise all the time.
Bai Jingrou raised her voice in disbelief. ¡°How could you be Alice!¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Fang Xinxin brought a stack of name cards out from her pocket and handed one over to her. ¡°Here, this is my name card.¡±
A member of the upper management spoke up with some embarrassment. ¡°Alice, may I have one too? I am Li Haiping, the business department¡¯s manager. I am also your fan. Hehe, I¡¯m a slightly older fan of yours.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Xinxin immediately handed a name card to her.
Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly. She spoke in disdain. ¡°It¡¯s just a name card. I could print one myself. Are we really going to believe her just because of a name card¡¡±
¡°Go ahead and give Alice¡¯s studio a call. Ask the secretary working there if I, Fang Xinxin, am actually Alice,¡± Fang Xinxin suggested.
¡°I would do it even if you didn¡¯t mention this.¡± Bai Jingrou directly dialled the official contact number for Alice¡¯s studio which was avable through her studio¡¯s website.
In order to humiliate Fang Xinxin publicly, she tapped on the speaker mode. ¡°Hello, may I know if this is Alice¡¯s secretary, Miss Qin Qing?¡±
Chapter 645 - Career Progression
Chapter 645: Career Progression
¡°I am.¡± A woman could be heard speaking through the phone. The speaker mode made her voice clearly audible through the conference room.
¡°I am¡ the Long Group¡¯s only granddaughter, Bai Jingrou.¡± She paused for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s like this, a female student from Jing Hua University named Fang Xinxin is iming to be the great designer Alice¡¡±
¡°Our studio has never interacted with you. How did you learn of Alice¡¯s identity?¡± The secretary, Qin Qing, was very suspicious. ¡°Could it be that someone ran their cheap mouth off and shared this information with you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one who told her,¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up.
The other party¡¯s tone immediately turned respectful. ¡°Alice, you¡¯re with Bai Jingrou? Your mouth definitely isn¡¯t cheap. It¡¯s worth millions.¡±
Isn¡¯t it? With Alice¡¯s reputation and status in the design world, every piece she designed was worth a lot of money.
¡°Alice, when will youe by the studio? You¡¯re always so elusive. We have over a hundred VIP clients on the waiting list. Everyone is waiting for you to return¡¡±
Bai Jingrou did not wait for Qin Qing to finish speaking. She ended the call with a poor expression.
Fang Xinxin was actually Alice. How did something this unbelievable ur?
Every member of the upper management who had been suspicious immediately looked at Fang Xinxin differently. Their CEO¡¯s future wife was not a flower vase. Although she was young and had yet to step into the society properly, she had already won the internationalpetition thrice!
Her name was famous throughout the entire world!
Even Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned admiring as he looked at Fang Xinxin.
An outstanding fianc¨¦e like her truly made him proud.
¡°Miss Bai, how could you suspect Fang Xinxin¡¯s character? Even if she wasn¡¯t Alice, she would never pretend to be someone whom she isn¡¯t. Your actions have truly crossed the line.¡± A member of the upper management criticised her.
Everyone then relentlessly reprimanded Bai Jingrou for being so rude.
She nced at Bai Qinghao and saw that there was disdain in his eyes as he nced at her. She felt deeply humiliated and ran out of the conference room with a pitiful appearance¡
¡°I¡¯m sure that there aren¡¯t any more opinions against Fang Xinxin taking up the position of chief designer, is there?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze swept through the conference room.
Li Haiping raised her hand. ¡°CEO Bai, I have something to say¡¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned heavy. ¡°Speak.¡±
¡°Alice is an outstanding designer. It¡¯s too unfair for her to only take the position of the chief designer. She should at least be the department¡¯s manager.¡±
¡°Make sense.¡± Bai Qinghao nodded. ¡°The fashion department¡¯s manager has just retired and the position is currently empty. We¡¯ll have Fang Xinxin take on this role.¡±
The vice-president, Yang Tian, handled matters appropriately and was efficient with his work. He had also been in thepany for quite some time.
If that was not the case, he would have directly made Xinxin the vice-president.
Of course, if she were willing, he would also be happy to offer his position to her.
After the meeting concluded, it was announced through thepany¡¯s staff¡¯s webpage that Fang Xinxin would be taking on the role of a manager in the fashion design department.
In the surveince room, Huang Zhishu witnessed Bai Jingrou¡¯s escape and quickly left.
She had thought that she would see her daughter seed grandly today and did not expect things to turn out this way. She was stifled with anger!
Vice-President Yang Tian apanied Fang Xinxin to the fashion design department on the thirty-first floor. He then announced it to everyone. ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone has seen thepany¡¯s notice. From this moment onwards, Fang Xinxin is the manager of the fashion department.¡±
Everyone remained silent except for Xiao Aiting who spoke up with some jealousy. ¡°All fifty of us in the fashion design department have been trying to be the Chief Designer but to no avail. She didn¡¯t even have to work here and easily jumped to be the manager. As expected, one¡¯s career progression would be different with CEO Bai¡¯s protection.¡±
Chapter 646 - His Outstanding Fiancée
Chapter 646: His Outstanding Fianc¨¦e
Yang Tian reacted heavily. ¡°What nonsense are you spouting? The Sheng Shi group has always valued capability over everything else. Fang Xinxin did not rely on any rtionship to be a manager. Her ability alone is sufficient for her to manage this role well.¡±
¡°She is only a university student. She doesn¡¯t even have any work experience¡¡± Xiao Aiting refused to ept it.
¡°Enough. Don¡¯t make an embarrassment of yourself just because you have a few years more work experiencepared to her. There¡¯s still a lot you don¡¯t know.¡± Yang Tian spoke directly. ¡°Fang Xinxin is the renowned international fashion designer, Alice.¡±
Following his words, a wave ofmotion rose.
¡°Is that for real? It can¡¯t be¡¡±
¡°It is absolutely true. Earlier, Bai Jingrou, who lost thepetition, personally called Alice¡¯s design studio to confirm it.¡± Yang Tian continued. ¡°In the future, you will all have to respect Fang Xinxin¡¯s leadership. I hope you will show your outstanding performances to her.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke up as well. ¡°I am a fair superior. I will treat all of you ording to your abilities. In addition, I will not spend too much time as a manager in this ce. I trust you all to understand why.¡±
¡°Is Manager Fang busy with Alice¡¯s studio or is she setting time aside to have a baby with CEO Bai?¡± A female employee asked in good humour.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°All of the above. In other words, when I leave this ce, the ones with the right capability will naturally take over my position. Of course, I will not allow anyone to get by without putting in real work.¡±
There were countless people who were hoping to ascend into the role of a manager. They spoke to Fang Xinxin in admiration and adoration.
Xiao Aiting stood gloomily in her position and did not argue any further.
Fang Xinxin did not ept any of their ttery. She only instructed everyone to focus on their work.
The design department¡¯s manager was in charge of many different aspects of their work. This included visiting production sites to conduct inspections. Her work hours were very different from a normal office worker.
On that day, news that the internationally renowned designer was actually Fang Xinxin exploded across the inte.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s name became famous once more.
When Bai Jingrou saw the news, herplexion nearly turned green. Fang Xinxin, the whore, had not only obstructed her from entering the Sheng Shi Group but had also made it difficult for her to find the right excuse to enter the Long Group.
As of now, the public only knew that she was the famous designer, Alice.
But Bai Qinghao was the only person who understood exactly how sessful Fang Xinxin¡¯s career was.
In the past two years, the ¡®Qiao Yang¡¯ Finance Group had developed by leaps and bounds. This included the fashion, gaming and propertypanies under its banner.
With the appearance of such a sessful enterprise, as the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO and the Bai family¡¯s future sessor, how could he possibly not investigate this matter?
It was only after looking into this matter that Bai Qinghao realised his fianc¨¦e was behind all of this!
She truly had an outstanding foresight for investment. Nearly all her investments had given significant returns. It was almost as though she had the ability to predict the future. Every decision she made led to great sess.
What was it they said about the Long Group with a hundred years of history? It still had some glory right now.
However, he believed that soon, her achievements would outdo the Long Group¡¯s past fame.
He discovered that there were news articles iming that only the Long Group¡¯s only sessor, Bai Jingrou, was good enough for him.
The fact of the matter was that even if Bai Jingrou was the Long Group¡¯s sessor, she would never be able topete with his fianc¨¦e.
There was no need to mention how outstanding his fianc¨¦e was. It would have been so even if she was an absolute good-for-nothing.
Chapter 647 - Valuable Tool
Chapter 647: Valuable Tool
She was the woman Bai Qinghao would love and dote on for the rest of his life.
Fang Xinxinid in Bai Qinghao¡¯s armsfortably as she scrolled through her phone. She found a news article iming that the Sheng Shi Group was interested in acquiring the gamingpany under Qiao Yang Finance Group. She asked him with some surprise. ¡°Are you interested in acquiring it?¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at the news articles. ¡°Those are just rumours. It¡¯s likely that anotherpany is interested and intentionally released those rumours to test waters.¡±
¡°I thought you were interested.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t help but wish I could give everything I own to you. How could I possibly acquire yourpany?¡± He hooked his index finger and brushed it against the top of her nose dotingly.
She smiled happily. ¡°Listen to me. What I meant was that if you¡¯re interested in acquiring thepanies I own, there¡¯s no need to go through any trouble. Just tell me and I¡¯ll happily offer them to you.¡±
Although he was not interested in her possessions, he was still deeply moved by her words. ¡°Xinxin¡¡±
¡°En?¡±
He embraced her tightly and spoke heavily. ¡°You¡¯re so good to me.¡±
¡°You¡¯re even better to me.¡± She returned his hug and felt her heart being filled up by him.
Bai Qinghao kissed her lips lovingly.
The night burned brightly with their effort to ¡®create a human¡¯¡
The next day was a Saturday and there was no need to attend work.
Fang Xinxin was dressed in a white set of casualwear with a simple handbag in her hands. She stood waiting in the Bai family¡¯s mansion¡¯s front yard.
Bai Jingrou noticed her beautiful silhouette from afar. Although she was dressed simply, her noble and stunning aura could not be concealed.
Her heart was filled with envy as she approached her. Still, she smiled and greeted her. ¡°Miss Fang, are you preparing to head out?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Since the other party was polite, Fang Xinxin had no reason to be rude to her, for now.
Her chauffeur, Tong Yu, drove an extremely extravagant Astin Martin car into the front yard. He came to a stop right by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side.
¡°I really envy you. My cousin actually bought ten different luxury cars for you to drive as you please.¡± Bai Jingrou frowned, a hint of disappointment shing past her eyes. ¡°Unlike me, the Bai family only bought a Mercedes Benz worth a few hundred thousand dors for me.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao really spent too much.¡± Fang Xinxin responded indifferently. ¡°I would rather he spent more frugally.¡±
She genuinely felt that Bai Qinghao was too generous when it came to giving her money.
Bai Jingrou however, assumed that Fang Xinxin was showing off. A hint of rage shed past her eyes.
Bai Chenxi also approached them at this moment. Fang Xinxin¡¯s beauty shone through despite how simply she was dressed. He could not help but be taken aback.
Each time he met this woman, he always found her to be more beautiful than before!
Furthermore, he truly did not expect her to be the internationally renowned fashion designer, Alice! When he first learned of this news, his jaw had nearly fallen onto the ground.
Bai Chenxi smiled at Fang Xinxin in what he assumed was a charming, refined manner. ¡°I wonder if I should address you as Xinxin or Alice?¡±
¡°Please address me as Madam Bai.¡± Fang Xinxin corrected him.
¡°Xinxin, we grew up together. Let¡¯s not argue about the way to address each other.¡± His gaze shifted onto the Aston Martin parked by the side. ¡°Where are you preparing to go? Do you need me to give you a ride?¡±
¡°I have my own chauffeur.¡± Fang Xinxin did not pay him any attention. She climbed into the backseat of the Aston Martin. Her chauffeur, Tong Yu, then smoothly drove out of the Bai family¡¯s mansion.
Bai Jingrou saw as the car faded away into the distance and made a spitting sound in anger. ¡°She thinks she¡¯s so amazing for having caught Bai Qinghao. In the end, isn¡¯t she just relying on her appearance?¡±
Bai Chenxi took in his sister¡¯s upset expression. ¡°Bai Qinghao liked her even when she was ugly. She isn¡¯t relying on her appearance. She is relying on her body. Of course, considering that she is a famous fashion designer, she also has some ability.¡±
Since Bai Qinghao treated her the same regardless of her appearance, it meant that she was an extremely valuable tool.
Chapter 648 - Buying An Apartment
Chapter 648: Buying An Apartment
¡°What ability?¡± Bai Jingrou refused to acknowledge his words. ¡°Who knows? Maybe even her title as a famous fashion designer was ¡®purchased¡¯ secretly by Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°Stop being jealous. Fang Xinxin¡¯s works definitely live up to international standards. When ites to matters under the international spotlight, everyone¡¯s judgement is fair.¡± Bai Chenxi nced at his sister¡¯s appearance and figure. ¡°I say, your work ability cannotpare against Fang Xinxin. Although you¡¯re also a beauty yourself, both your appearance and figure are also significantlycking whenpared with Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°Who speaks like that?¡± Bai Jingrou was unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m your sister!¡±
¡°It¡¯s precisely because you¡¯re my sister that I¡¯m helping you acknowledge the truth. You need to work harder.¡± It wasn¡¯t a simple matter to attract Bai Qinghao¡¯s attention.
¡°Enough. Stop dying time. Let¡¯s go.¡± The both of them headed out of the house together.
The siblings did not expect to meet Fang Xinxin in one of the showrooms belonging to one of the city centre¡¯s biggest real estatepanies.
The real estate agent, Liu Ling, was in the midst of introducing the ce to Fang Xinxin.
There were several exquisite coffee tables and chairs arranged in the lounge. It was specially arranged for clients visiting the ce to rest.
Bai Jingrou and Bai Chenxi entered the real estate office together.
The man was handsome while the woman was beautiful. They were both dressed expensively and immediately became the centre of everyone¡¯s attention.
One of the female real estate agents noticed them and rushed to wee them. ¡°Sir, Miss, are you interested in buying an apartment? I can introduce something suitable to the both of you.¡±
Bai Chenxi did not pay her any attention. He approached Fang Xinxin, who was seated in the lounge. ¡°Xinxin, what a coincidence! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here. This must be fate.¡±
In the past, Fang Xinxin always came up with countless methods to please him and meet him.
He truly did not expect for things to change this drastically. Right now, he was the one struggling to hold onto her.
Fang Xinxin did not even look at him. Her attention was focused on the photos of the apartments in Liu Ling¡¯s phone.
Bai Jingrou followed Bai Chenxi to approach her. ¡°Miss Fang, what a coincidence. Are you also nning to purchase an apartment?¡±
Liu Ling, who was in the midst of introducing the ces to Fang Xinxin, stood up and smiled. ¡°Are the two of you interested in purchasing an apartment? I am Liu Ling, a real estate agent here. Could I provide the two of you with any assistance?¡±
¡°I¡¯m nning to purchase an apartment. I¡¯m not sure if there¡¯s anything suitable for me here.¡± Bai Jingrou nned on investing in an apartment and had brought her brother, Chenxi, along with her to make a good decision.
Customers were all emperors. Liu Ling received them warmly. ¡°I currently have a lot of apartments avable on sale. May I know what type of apartment you are looking for? What is your budget?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s initial budget was a million dors.
However, she saw that Fang Xinxin was present and recalled that Long Jingyuan had given her two million dors.
She immediately said proudly, ¡°I¡¯m looking for a new apartment with three rooms and two living spaces. The environment should be good. My budget is two million dors.¡±
¡°Your budget is rather generous. I have a lot of apartments that will fit your conditions.¡± Liu Li enthusiastically flipped open a booklet and began her introduction. ¡°In the Song Hua Bei Wan District, there is a new apartment that is well-furnished. The prior owner only lived in this ce for a month. There are three rooms and two living spaces. It could be remodeled into having four rooms if you¡¯re interested. It costs 1.5 million dors¡¡±
Bai Jingrou saw that there were two empty seats at the coffee table. She chose the seat next to Liu Ling and sat down.
Bai Chenxi, on the other hand, sat on the empty seat by Fang xinxin¡¯s side.
The four seats were fully taken up.
Another employee served two cups of piping hot two for them. While Liu Ling was busy introducing the apartments to Bai Jingrou, Bai Chenxi leaned close to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, have you found any apartments to your liking?¡±
Fang Xinxin paid no attention to him.
She did not wish to sit with this pair of siblings. However, she was well-acquainted with Liu Ling.
Chapter 649 - Car Sick
Chapter 649: Car Sick
Almost two years ago, Fang Manxue had framed her for having an affair with a middle-aged man.
Through the phone call, Liu Ling had helped her rify this matter.
Of course, Fang Xinxin had instructed her beforehand to speak truthfully.
This property agent, Liu Ling¡¯s character wasn¡¯t bad. She had just joined thispany and needed to build up a good work credit. Fang Xinxin did not wish to affect her reputation.
Thus, Fang Xinxin did not move from her seat.
¡°Don¡¯t show me second-hand ces like these. I want a brand new apartment. I don¡¯t mind having to furnish it from scratch.¡± A hint of disdain shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s refined and beautiful appearance.
¡°Of course, of course. I¡¯ll introduce you to a few different ones¡¡±
A few minutes after Liu Ling rambled on, Fang Xinxin stood up. ¡°I wish to take a look at that two hundred metres square foot apartment in Mian Lan North District.¡±
¡°Of course. I¡¯ll immediately take you there.¡± Liu Ling stood up and spoke apologetically to Bai Jingrou. ¡°Miss, I need to take a client to visit an apartment. Will it be alright if someone else introduces the apartment to you?¡±
Bai Jingrou asked her gently. ¡°Aren¡¯t I a client as well? Why can¡¯t you stay to introduce the apartments to me and let someone else take her there?¡±
¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Fang Xinxin was the one who spoke up.
Liu Ling worked as a property agent and had a keen eye for details. She recognised that the two people were on poor terms.
However, Fang Xinxin was an important and wealthy client of hers. On the other hand, thedy before her clearly appeared to be a customer that was difficult to work with.
Thus, the choice was clear for Liu Li.
She immediately responded. ¡°Miss Bai, firste-first-serve is a principle that everyone must follow. Miss Fang sought me out first. Thus, I can only give you my apologies.¡±
¡°You recognise me? ¡± Bai Jingrou had yet to introduce herself.
¡°I¡¯ve seen your photos on the news. You are the Long Group¡¯s director¡¯s granddaughter.¡±
Bai Jingrou was upset. This person knew of her noble status but still did not give her any favours. No matter how outstanding Fang Xinxin was, she was but a designer who was slightly famous.
Bai Jingrou suddenly realised the main point. Since the other party had recognised her identity, she had to know that Fang Xinxin was Bai Qinghao¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
It made sense that the future Madam Bai would be more worthy of one¡¯s attention.
In other words, the other party was biased towards the Bai family. Once Fang Xinxin left the Bai family, she wouldn¡¯t even be worth a fart.
At the thought of this, she felt better.
Bai Jingrou changed her attitude. ¡°I am the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter. Fang Xinxin is my cousin, Bai Qinghao¡¯s, fianc¨¦e. I was just joking earlier. I would neverpete with her.¡±
Indeed, she would never.
¡°Take her for a visit to the apartment.¡± Right after she spoke, Bai Chenxi chimed in. ¡°We¡¯ll go with the both of you. Who knows, we might take a liking to that apartment.¡± Apartments were secondary. After all, he wasn¡¯t the one looking to make a purchase. It was more important to use this opportunity to reduce the distance between Fang Xinxin and him.
Liu Ling was ced in a difficult spot. ¡°If all three of you take a liking to the same apartment¡¡±
¡°We will let Xinxin have it.¡± Bai Chenxi grinned at Fang Xinxin. His gaze was filled with ttery.
Fang Xinxin also hoped for Liu Ling to have more sessful sales. ¡°Let¡¯s go, then.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s take thepany¡¯s car. This way, please.¡± Liu Ling made an ¡®after you¡¯ gesture warmly.
A sedan car worth around ten thousand dors was parked outside the office entrance.
Bai Jingrou rushed to take the front seat. She intentionally left the backseats for Bai Chenxi and Fang Xinxin so as to create an opportunity for her brother. She hastily made up an excuse. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, ah. I tend to get carsick easily so I¡¯ll take the front seat.¡±
Chapter 650 - Scheming
Chapter 650: Scheming
Fang Xinxin naturally saw through her scheme.
Bai Chenxi nned to sit with Fang Xinxin in the backseat together. When the chauffeur would brake during the journey, he could pretend to lose his stability and embrace her.
He took in her beautiful appearance and figure and greatly regretted not tasting her back when he had the opportunity.¡±
¡°Ladies first!¡± Bai Chenxi pulled open the car door and spoke coolly.
After Liu Li took her seat, and Fang Xinxin took the seat in the middle, he would have the opportunity to sit by her side.
Liu Ling was just as polite. ¡°Miss Fang, go ahead first.¡±
Fang Xinxin climbed into the car without reservations. Liu Ling followed after.
Bai Chenxi was unwilling to sit by Liu Ling¡¯s side. He closed the car door and went around the car to sit by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side.
He took in her side profile. Her skin was as fair as snow, her nose was thin and sharp, and her lips were the shade of a cherry blossom pink¡
From every angle, she was absolutely perfect.
His heart skipped a beat.
Fang Xinxin had always had feelings for him. Her heart must have changed because of Bai Qinghao¡¯s status and family background. Although she was a materialistic woman, he could not deny that her face and body were both extremely attractive!
Bai Chenxi swore internally that he would obtain her!
Bai Jingrou shifted her phone quietly in the front seat and turned her phone camera on. She aimed the lens at the backseat to capture the situation behind.
She nned to record everything when her brother found the opportunity to lean close towards Fang Xinxin. It would be best if Fang Xinxin fell straight into Bai Chenxi¡¯s arms!
How would Bai Qinghao react after seeing this?
Bai Chenxi and Bia Jingrou did not share their thoughts but were both aiming to create the same opportunity.
As long as he had photos of Fang Xinxinying in his arms, he could make Fang Xinxin listen to him obediently without even showing the photos to Bai Qinghao!
Fang Xinxin naturally knew that these two individuals did not have any good intentions.
Since Bai Chenxi shamelessly insisted on sitting by her side, she directly asked Liu Ling to change seats with her.
This way, Liu Ling was ced in between them.
Before Bai Chenxi could change his seat, the chauffeur started the car.
Bai Jingrou was simrly upset. Her ns had fallen through midway.
However, this was alright.
Later, at the apartment, she would try her best to obtain photos of Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi standing alone in the room.
It would be a piece of cake to make the property agent leave.
Ten minutester, the car came to a stop before a run down apartment building in the Mian Lan North District.
The group alighted from the car.
Bai Jingrou nearly could not believe her eyes. The building appeared very old. Even the paint was peeling off. There were wires hanging loosely from the electric poles, strewn over the walkways and the walls and there was even rubbish littered all over the floor.
Bai Chenxi also asked in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t tell me that you took a liking to an apartment here?¡±
¡°I did.¡±
¡°Look at the environment. I wouldn¡¯t even be bothered to step into this old building.¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was filled with disdain.
¡°That¡¯s your problem.¡± Fang Xinxin and Liu Ling stepped into the poorly lit building.
Bai Chenxi and his sister exchanged nces. Although they had just said they would never enter the building, they quickly followed.
They approached the elevator and noticed a signboard right before it.
[The elevator is under repairs.]
Liu Li spoke apologetically. ¡°The apartment is on the sixth floor. We can only take the stairs.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Fang Xinxin had dressed in a set of sportswear today apanied with a pair of sports shoes. In the past, she had covered long distances with the purpose of losing weight. She had also been consistent with working out.
Six flights of stairs were no trouble to her!
Chapter 651 - Surveying The House
Chapter 651: Surveying The House
She nced at Bai Jingrou¡¯s heels. ¡°Since you aren¡¯t interested in this apartment, how about you wait downstairs?¡±
Bai Jingrou would never give up this opportunity to obtain photos of her and Bai Chenxi. So she said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I can handle the stairs.¡±
The four of them made their way up the poorly structured stairs. The handles were made of steel and most of the paint had peeled off.
After climbing up six flights of stairs, all of them were covered in trash. The ce emitted a thick and nauseating stench.
¡°What sort of environment is this?¡± Bai Jingrou grumbled.
On the sixth floor, they found that the ground was covered in a thickyer of dust. It seemed like it had been quite some time since the ce was cleaned.
Liu Li unlocked the steel gates to reveal a wooden door in poor condition.
Creak¡
As the wooden door was pushed open, the door even swayed slightly. It seemed like it was on the verge of falling off the hinges.
The apartment was positioned away from the sun and the entire light was blocked by the building in front of it. Despite it being daylight, it waspletely dark in the apartment.
Liu Ling immediately searched for the light switch after entering the apartment. She clicked on it a few times but the old light bulbs only flickered for a few moments before going out. She smiled and said jokingly, ¡°It seems like the light bulbs have be spoiled. The wiring here is truly too old.¡±
Perhaps it was because it had been too long since this ce had been visited but the group immediately felt an eerie, cold sensation seeping into their bones.
Although it wasn¡¯t well-lit in the apartment, the entrance was open and the light that filtered through allowed them to get a good look at the apartment¡¯syout.
The entire furniture was covered in a white cloth. A thickyer of dust had formed on top of it.
Bai Chenxi carelessly tugged the cloth off the sofa. The dust immediately flew into the air and caused all of them to begin coughing. ¡°This apartment must have been empty for at least five to six years!¡±
¡°It¡¯s been ten years since this apartment was vacated.¡± Liu Ling suddenly turned on a handheld torch. A well-lit figure suddenly appeared with a bright glow in its hands.
¡°Ah, there¡¯s a ghost!¡± Bai Jingrou was frightened and immediately ran into Bai Chenxi¡¯s arms.
¡°Sister, are you that easily frightened?¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze was focused on Fang Xinxin. If only she had run into his arms.
However, Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze was indifferent as though she waspletely unmoved by all of this.
She had allowed this pair of siblings to follow her because she also wanted to observe if there was anything inappropriate about them.
After all, they were only adopted siblings, weren¡¯t they?
However, even though Bai Jingrou was currently in Bai Chenxi¡¯s arms, she could clearly tell that there wasn¡¯t any inappropriate behavior. It was almost as though¡ these two were not adopted siblings but actual siblings.
¡°I¡¯m so sorry. I must have frightened you with the handheld torch.¡± Liu Ling said apologetically. ¡°This apartment has been empty for ten years. I was worried there wouldn¡¯t be any electricity so I prepared a handheld torch.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the ce.¡± Liu Ling was actually apprehensive as well.
However, she maintained a professional smile as she pushed open the doors of various bedrooms. Her tone was suitably crisp as she began introducing. ¡°This apartment has five rooms and two living spaces. It is very big, spread across two hundred and fifty metres square feet of space. It is sufficient for four generations of a family with an additional room for a helper. It is also priced at a great value. It is avable for sale at eight hundred thousand dors and is one third of the current market price for such apartments.¡±
¡°This is an apartment in Mian Lan North District. No matter how old the ce is, it is located in a good area. It shouldn¡¯t be that cheap.¡± Bai Jingrou was suspicious. ¡°Is there a problem with this ce?¡±
She approached the main bedroom. ¡°Look at this bedroom. It¡¯s quite big. There¡¯s even a balcony.¡± She scanned the bathroom in the en-suite bedroom. ¡°The bathroom is also much bigger than normal bathrooms though it appears extremely eerie.¡±
Chapter 652 - Building A Story
Chapter 652: Building A Story
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°It¡¯s like this¡¡± Liu Ling did not hide the truth from them. ¡°Thirty years ago, the first upants of this apartment were a married couple. Due to serious illness, theymitted suicide by hanging themselves on a rope against the water pipes in the bathroom.¡±
Bai Jingrou was frightened into immediately backing away from the bathroom.
¡°The second owner of this apartment lost his mind after purchasing this apartment. He killed his wife and children and even dismembered their bodies.¡± Liu Ling brought out several newspaper cut-outs from her bag. ¡°Here are the news articles for both incidents. Since then, this apartment has be a ¡®haunted¡¯ house and the price has steadily dropped. The most frightening incident happened to the third upants. It was bought at half the market price and the female owner was murdered by her lover. He froze her body in the freezer and lived in this home for half a month. When her husband returned, he then killed her husband. After this matter, the lover was afraid of being punished byw andmitted suicide in this apartment.¡±
The more Liu Ling spoke, the more frightened she also felt. ¡°Five lives have already been lost in this apartment. After changing upant thrice, the apartment was never sold again no matter how low the prices fell.¡±
As Fang Xinxin was the future Madam Bai, Liu Ling did not dare to hide the truth from her.
Bai Jingrou trembled at her words. Perhaps it was due to her irrational fears, but she felt as though there were many pairs of eyes watching her in the apartment.
She wanted to tug Bai Chenxi to leave with her. However, she realised that if she captured photos of Fang Xinxin and Bai Chenxi here, she could make up a story of them hiding in a haunted house in fear of being caught. It would be a piece of evidence that was extremely difficult to refute!
By then, there would be no need to mention a wedding, Fang Xinxin would immediately be chased out of the Bai home.
At this thought, she gathered her courage and shot Bai Chenxi a look.
Bai Chenxi also hoped to gather evidence and control Fang Xinxin. Thus, he managed to ovee his fear and decided that he would forcefully kiss Fang Xinxin when they entered the next room.
However, they first had to make Liu Ling leave.
They were in the midst of looking for a good opportunity when Liu Ling¡¯s phone rang. She rushed to the balcony. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. Please let me answer a call.¡±
Fang Xinxin and the Bai family¡¯s siblings were left alone in the living room.
Bai Chenxi pretended to trip and fell towards Fang Xinxin with his arms stretched.
But Fang Xinxin appeared to have eyes on the back of her head. She immediately took a step to the side to avoid him.
Bai Jingrou had raised her phone to take a photo of them, but only managed to snap images of her elder brother falling onto the ground alone.
A resentful male voice could suddenly be heard. ¡°What are you doing¡¡±
¡°Ghost!¡± Bai Jingrou jumped in fright. Her phone instantly fell onto the ground.
Even Bai Chenxi¡¯splexion turned white due to the stranger¡¯s voice.
Fang Xinxin turned around to look at Tong Yu. She nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
Tong Yu approached them and stopped two steps behind her.
¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Tong Yu used to follow Bai Qinghao. Hence Bai Jingrou naturally recognised him. ¡°Why did youe here? And why did you speak up suddenly like that?¡±
¡°Miss Fang instructed me toe.¡± Tong Yu responded expressionlessly. ¡°We were supposed to have arrived downstairs at the same time. However, Miss Fang¡¯s Aston Martin is too expensive and it wasn¡¯t safe to park it by the roadside. The nearby car parks were also full. I camete because it took me some time to park the car.¡±
Bai Chenxi grumbled. ¡°Xinxin, why would you bring your chauffeur to look at an apartment?¡±
Fang Xinxin responded lightly. ¡°To keep you siblings from harbouring ill-intentions.¡±
¡°How is that possible¡¡± Bai Chenxi sneered coldly.
¡°If it¡¯s impossible, why did you throw yourself at me earlier?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°And Bai Jingrou, what were you trying to do with your phone camera earlier?¡±
Bai Jingrou appeared slightly embarrassed as she picked up her phone.. ¡°I identally clicked on the camera button earlier.¡±
Chapter 653 - Change Of Strategy
Chapter 653: Change Of Strategy
¡°That excuse of yours will only fool ghosts.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled indifferently.
All of a sudden, she said creepily, ¡°Bai Chenxi, Bai Jingrou, a house like this attracts unwanted spirits. If you have inappropriate thoughts in such a ce, it¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll be possessed by one of them, or you¡¯ll suffer three years of misfortune. Who knows, something dirty may already be clinging onto you.¡±
¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡± Bai Jingrou jerked back in fright. She immediately red at Liu Ling, who had just returned after attending a phone call. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You knew that this is a haunted house and a murder took ce here. Why did you still bring us to this apartment?¡±
¡°Miss Fang knew this beforehand and still requested to view this apartment.¡± Liu Ling rushed to respond.
Bai Jingrou was in disbelief. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯ve just picked up¡ you just received eighteen million dors from the Bai family¡¯s elders. You¡¯re also a rtively famous fashion designer. You can¡¯t possibly be poor to the point where you have to buy a haunted house, are you? Could it be that you¡¯re nning to pretend to be poor to take more money from the Bai family?¡±
¡°You must be mentally impaired.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly.
¡°You speak as if you haven¡¯t received a single cent from the Bai family. The Bai family has been trying to chase your family away with a sum of money for quite some time. Why do you refuse to leave? From what I know, from the day you, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi entered the Bai family, you¡¯ve been receiving up to twenty thousand dors of pocket money every month. Every holiday, you take money for clothes from them. Not to mention, there are the red packets which you receive during the New Year. I heard that the Bai family also reces your cars every five years. You¡¯ve been taking advantage of the Bai family and using your rtionship with them to obtain benefits from outsiders. The Bai family have been requesting for you guys to leave the Bai home and cut off all rtions with them, yet the three of you have stubbornly clung onto them in refusal, in hopes of having another day of free lunch. What gives you the right to criticise me?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯splexion turned extremely poor. ¡°How do you know all of this so well?¡± Her cousin, Bai Qinghao, was unlikely to speak about these things.
That was because the money they were receiving was not from Bai Qinghao, but came from the Bai family¡¯s business.
Fang Xinxin spent ten years as Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife and had slowly learnt about this in the Bai family¡¯s mansion.
The helpers would gossip among themselves every so often. Bai Jingrou and her family also had the habit ofing by once in a while to take something from the Bai family¡¯s storeroom. Thus, she slowly understood the full picture.
¡°I¡¯ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since we were young. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to know these things?¡± Fang Xinxin gave her a suitable answer and nced at her in disdain. ¡°It¡¯s normal for Bai Qinghao to want to give me money, and more so, for the Bai family¡¯s elders to give me red packets the first time they met me. Compared to you, the Bai family¡¯s leeches, I¡¯m much better!¡±
¡°Who are you calling leeches?¡± Bai Jingrou nearly lost control over her tone.
This Fang Xinxin was especially skilled in making people unhappy.
¡°I¡¯m calling you.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly as she returned the term ¡®leech¡¯, which she had received from Bai Jingrou in herst life, back to her.
Bai Jingrou was angered to the point where her expression changed drastically. Bai Chenxi raised his voice at that time. ¡°Enough, Sister! We¡¯re all a family here. Why are you arguing with Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Brother, why are you on her side?¡± Jingrou was taken aback.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was also poor after being called a ¡®leech¡¯. Furthermore, there were outsiders, Tong Yu and Liu Ling, witnessing this.
However, he decided to change his strategy.
Bai Qinghao always worked impably. He had a power status and was extremely influential. Fang Xinxin was his only weakness.
If he wanted to ruin Bai Qinghao, he could only do so through Fang Xinxin. Thus, he needed to first win her liking. ¡°You were the one who mocked her first.¡±
Bai Jingrou was especially insightful and immediately understood her brother¡¯s intentions. Thus, she remained silent despite her dark expression.
Chapter 654 - Haunted Apartment
Chapter 654: Haunted Apartment
She nced at Tong Yu and Liu Ling. After checking that the two of them did not appear to be mocking them, she felt slightly better.
With Tong Yu around, it was unlikely that she would obtain any useful materials to use against Fang Xinxin.
Bai Jingrou turned without saying a word and quickly left the room. Bai Chenxi also did not wish to remain in this haunted house any longer. He said apologetically, ¡°Xinxin, my sister is young and immature. Don¡¯t mind her.¡±
He left hurriedly soon after.
Fang Xinxinughed. His sister was young¡ Bai Jingrou was three years older than her!
After viewing the apartment, Fang Xinxin, Liu Ling and Tong Yu headed downstairs together and found Bai Chenxi and his sister waiting by the car downstairs.
¡°You guys are still here?¡± Liu Ling asked out of politeness. ¡°I wonder if Miss Bai and Mr. Bai have taken a liking to the haunted¡ the house you saw earlier?¡±
¡°That building is so run down and the apartment is so creepy. Just entering the ce alone will cause us misfortune. I won¡¯t take it even if you give it to me for free!¡± Bai Jingrouined in disdain.
¡°You think too much.¡± Liu Ling mocked her internally. Even if the apartment was going for one third the market price, it was still worth eight hundred thousand dors.
Gifting an eight hundred thousand dors apartment to her? What a joke.
However, she did not express her feelings on the surface.
Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t to apany Xinxin, I wouldn¡¯t have stepped into a haunted house.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Liu Ling did not say more. These wealthy young people were used to luxury. From the beginning, she had no intention of bringing them along. It was them who had insisted oning here.
¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯ll bring your car over from the carpark. Please wait for a moment.¡± Tong Yu waited for Fang Xinxin¡¯s nod before he turned to head across the road.
Fang Xinxin stood in ce waiting for him.
¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re not taking the property agent¡¯s car back?¡± Bai Chenxi tried to make conversation with her.
She did not respond.
¡°Will you be viewing more apartments?¡± Bai Chenxi asked again.
But she remained indifferent to him.
Bai Chenxi took this in and decided to head to the stall by the roadside to purchase a few bottles of mineral bottle. He handed them to Bai Jingrou and Liu Ling.
After the two of them thanked him, he then offered a bottle to Fang Xinxin. ¡°You must be thirsty. Have some water?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not receive it. Instead, she headed to the stall to buy a bottle of water for herself.
A momentter, Tong Yu parked the Aston Martin by the roadside to wait for her.
Bai Chenxi waited for Fang Xinxin in surprise. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±
A man around the age of forty to fifty then ran over in a hurry. ¡°My apologies, Property Agent Lu, I¡¯mte.¡± He immediately handed his apartment ownership documents and identity card over to her.
Liu Ling brought out the empty apartment sale contract which she had prepared beforehand. She rested it on the car boot and filled it in ording to the details on his identity card. She then showed it to him for confirmation.
The middle-aged man signed the documents before Fang Xinxin was offered the paper to sign as well.
After watching her sign her name, the middle-aged man sighed in relief. ¡°After listing it for sale for so many years, I¡¯ve finally managed to sell this haunted apartment.¡±
Liu Ling spoke up. ¡°Mr. Yu, Miss Fang Xinxin is very busy. She intends to make the full payment at once. Since the contract has been signed, let¡¯s go andplete the transfer of ownership.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± The middle-aged named Yu nodded his head.
Bai Jingrou finally understood the matter. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you really bought the haunted house?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°Earlier, I told Liu Ling to ask you guys beforehand. You guys said you didn¡¯t want it, so I bought it.¡±
¡°Your brain¡ Did water go into your brain? Do you not have enough things to buy?¡± Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly. ¡°There¡¯s no way you¡¯ll be able to sell this apartment in future.¡±
Chapter 655 - Liking Towards Haunted Apartments
Chapter 655: Liking Towards Haunted Apartments
The middle-aged man named Yu became especially unhappy. ¡°It¡¯s her business whether or not she wants to buy it. How is it rted to a passer-by like you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m a passer-by?¡± Despite his words, Bai Jingrou did not mind this turn of events very much. It was a good sign that Fang Xinxin enjoyed wasting money.
She bought a haunted apartment the moment she received money from those elders in the Bai family. People had died one after another in this apartment. Was Fang Xinxin hoping that the three Bai elders would die earlier?
Bai Chenxi was still immersed in his act of being a good person. ¡°Xinxin, was there a need to rush into signing a contract by the roadside?¡±
¡°Um¡ I¡¯m so sorry.¡± The middle-aged man named Yu spoke up again. ¡°I was nearby coincidentally and I heard from Liu Ling that someone was interested in this haunted¡ this house. I am extremely busy during this time so I had no choice but to make Miss Fang sign the contract here.¡±
Fang Xinxin transferred the full payment to the property agent¡¯spany¡¯s ount. She then apanied the middle-aged and Liu Ling to transfer the ownership of the apartment.
Bai Jingrou took in their rear view and said to Bai Chenxi in confusion, ¡°Brother, why did Fang Xinxin buy this haunted apartment? She has the Yu Ting Vi, a luxurious ce, to live in. There¡¯s no way she¡¯ll use this apartment.¡±
Bai Chenxi deliberated over this. ¡°A haunted apartment in Mian Lan North District¡ Fang Xinxin¡¯s birth mother is named Fang Ln. She was murdered at the Fang home by Fang Liyin. Perhaps, Fang Xinxin purchased this apartment because it also has the word ¡®Lan¡¯ in its name?¡±
¡°I bet she must have gone insane after spending seven years with her mother¡¯s corpse and has taken a liking to haunted apartments.¡± Bai Jingrou added.
¡°That¡¯s also a possibility.¡±
¡
That night, in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion, only Grandfather Bai Zhongshan, Huang Zhishu, Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou were present for dinner.
Bai Qinghao was busy with work and was working overtime at the office. He did not intend to return for dinner.
Bai Jingrou took in the table of sumptuous dishes. She was starving to the point where her stomach was nearly caving in. However, she did not dare to move her chopsticks before the Bai family¡¯s elder gave his word.
¡°Grandfather, can we eat now?¡± Bai Chenxi was also hungry.
¡°Xinxin didn¡¯t say that she won¡¯t be home for dinner. Let¡¯s wait for a while longer,¡± Bai Chongshan instructed sternly.
It seemed like Fang Xinxin was rather important to this old man. That was also a good thing. Bai Chenxi narrowed his eyes. ¡°Xinxin will soon be a member of our family. It¡¯s true that we should wait for her.¡±
Bai Jingrou was extremely angered by the old man¡¯s unfair treatment.
She had been in the Bai family for a long time, but never received his favour.
Inparison, an outsider was being doted on even before she properly entered the family.
What she did not know was that it was the ambition that her family had failed to hide that actually provoked the Bai family¡¯s ire. If it wasn¡¯t for thete Bai Pu, their family of three would already have lost their positions.
Five minutester, Fang Xinxin stepped into the vi. She greeted Bai Chongshan with a smile. ¡°Grandfather.¡±
¡°Good. Come over and sit.¡± Bai Chongshan pointed at the seat he had deliberately left open for her.
¡°Miss Fang sure is easily liked. Our entire family has been waiting for you.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled sweetly.
Fang Xinxin nced indifferently at her. ¡°Bai Jingrou, your words are interesting. If you wish to mock me for putting on airs and making you guys wait, you can speak directly. You must be the only person who tries so hard to mock people imperceptibly. Besides, I didn¡¯t even ask your family of three to wait.¡±
She then tugged on Bai Chongshan¡¯s arm sweetly. ¡°I¡¯m only a family with you, Grandfather.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s body was covered in goosebumps from her act.
However, Bai Chongshan thoroughly enjoyed Fang Xinxin¡¯s behaviour.
He rubbed his beard happily. ¡°Yes, yes. Xinxin, you must be hungry. Dig in.¡±
Chapter 656 - Future Schemes
Chapter 656: Future Schemes
Bai Jingrou also wished she could act spoiled in front of Bai Chongshan. She wasn¡¯t sure why, but despite having lived in the Bai family with her mother and elder brother for more than two years, this damned old man was not the slightest bit close to them.
Was it really because they did not share the Bai family¡¯s bloodline?
After their meal, Bai Jingrou immediately attacked Fang Xinxin. ¡°Grandfather, did you know? Miss Fang spent eight hundred thousand dors to purchase a haunted apartment located in Mian Lan North District. Quite a lot of people have died in that apartment¡¡±
She then exined the history of the apartment before saying, ¡°I never expected Miss Fang to use the red packets she had received from the elders to purchase a haunted apartment.¡±
Bai Chongshan raised his eyebrows at her words. He turned towards Xinxin. ¡°Little girl, you really bought a haunted apartment?¡±
Fang Xinxin was rather moved by the way Grandfather Bai affectionately addressed her as ¡®Little girl¡¯. ¡°En.¡±
Bai Chongshan appeared unmoved by this knowledge. Bai Jingrou did not expect him to be indifferent. Still, she stubbornly continued. ¡°The red packets and a bloody apartment are both red. I wonder if the two conflicting reds will bring about misfortune. Is Fang Xinxin trying to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck?¡±
¡°What nonsense are you spouting!¡± Bai Chongshan raised his voice sternly. ¡°Xinxin isn¡¯t someone like that.¡±
Fang Xinxin raised her brows. ¡°Bai Jingrou, did you go insane just because you failed to perform better than me and couldn¡¯t enter the Sheng Shi Group? You sure dare to run your mouth as you please. I am Madam Bai. The better the Bai family¡¯s luck, the better my life will be. How could I possibly ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck?¡±
¡°Are you really Madam Bai? You haven¡¯t even stepped into the family yet you dare to apply gold to your own face¡¡± Bai Jingrou wanted to continue.
Bai Chongshan cut her off. ¡°Apologise to your cousin-inw right now! Otherwise, you can scram out of the Bai family immediately.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes reddened as spoke in grievance. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have spoken this honestly if it wasn¡¯t for the Bai family¡¯s good. You¡¡±
¡°Apologise!¡± Elder Bai Chongshan¡¯s wrinkled face was especially stern.
¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯m sorry¡¡± Bai Jingrou was clearly unwilling.
Elder Bai was a rather superstitious man. Bai Jingrou knew that Bai Qinghao would definitely stand on Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. Thus, she intentionally took the opportunity while he was away to say these words so as to create a rift between Elder Bai and Fang Xinxin.
Who would have thought that she only ended up throwing her own face away.
Fang Xinxin had bought a total of ten, cheap apartments from Mian Lan North District today. After travelling back and forth, she was exhausted. She could not be bothered to respond to Bai Jingrou and headed back to her room to rest.
Elder Bai also went to his study.
Bai Jingrou and her family usually only visited the Bai family¡¯s main mansion building for meals. They lived in a smaller building named, ¡®Jing Xin Residence¡¯, right behind the main building.
The three of them returned to Jing Xin Residence.
The moment Bai Jingrou stepped into the living room, she cursed in a low voice. ¡°The old things in the Bai family are all biased ghosts. He actually didn¡¯t care if the Bai family¡¯s luck would be affected!¡±
¡°I think it isn¡¯t that Elder Bai doesn¡¯t care about it. It¡¯s just that nothing bad has happened to the Bai family yet for him to take this matter seriously.¡± Bai Chenxi smiled viciously. ¡°You say, if something does happen to the Bai family, won¡¯t Fang Xinxin be in for a serious treat?¡±
¡°Brother, I was thinking the exact same thing.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled darkly.
Bai Chenxi sat down on the couch and rubbed his chin. ¡°I was just wondering why my normally capable sister put on such a show today. It turns out that you were setting the stage for your future schemes. Don¡¯t ruin Fang Xinxin, though. Just put some distance between her and the Bai family¡¯s old people. Have you forgotten that she is my prey?¡±
¡°If only you were as capable as your sister.¡± Huang Zhishu poured herself a cup of tea and criticised. ¡°Fang Xinxin used to like you a lot. She was already yours at the time.¡±
Chapter 657 - Controlling The Bai Family
Chapter 657: Controlling The Bai Family
¡°I will obtain her!¡± Bai Chenxi gritted his teeth hatefully.
All of a sudden, Bai Jingrou¡¯s phone rang. She answered the call before speaking in excitement. ¡°Brother, Mother, did you know? I asked someone to investigate and I found out that Fang Xinxin actually purchased ten different haunted apartments today! It would really be strange if the Bai family¡¯s luck isn¡¯t affected by this.¡±
¡°Ten apartments¡¡± Bai Chenxi frowned. ¡°Did she go insane?¡±
¡°Think about it. Her mother¡¯s corpse was buried under the storeroom where she lived for seven to eight years. It¡¯s such a frightening matter. I bet she must have had trouble putting that trauma down.¡± A hint of viciousness shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes. ¡°Even if she manages to put it down, we must convince everyone that she has yet to.¡±
¡°When she¡¯s stuck in a difficult spot in the Bai family¡¡± Bai Chenxi patted his own arm. ¡°I¡¯ll lend her my shoulder to lean on.¡±
¡°Brother, I¡¯ll help you again when that happens. You¡¯ll have to hold tightly onto the opportunity to obtain Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±
¡
The next morning, when Fang Xinxin woke up, Bai Qinghao was sleeping right by her side.
She took in his sleeping profile. His eyshes were long and his nose was sharp. His thick brows were rxed and his expression was not stern as it usually was. Instead, he gave off anguid charisma.
Sensing her gaze, Bai Qinghao opened his eyes.
His eyes were truly as stunning as a pair of obsidian gemstones. It was a pity that his gaze was often too sharp and cold. His one nce always left everyone in fear.
However, whenever he looked at her, the feelings conveyed through his gaze were sufficient to drown her.
He stretched his arm and brought her into his embrace, burrowing into her neck and breathing in her scent. ¡°My wife, you smell so good!¡±
His words lifted her mood up. She gently caressed his face. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m your wife now.¡±
Although there was still some time till their wedding, they were already awfully wedded couple.
However, aside from Liu Li, no one else was aware of this matter.
Since their wedding was impending, she could not be bothered to bring this up to anyone.
Sheid in his arms and scrolled through the news on her phone.
All of a sudden, she noticed an eye-catching news headline from a small media website.
[The future Madam Bai purchased ten haunted apartments with the money she received from the Bai family¡¯s elders. What were her reasons for doing so?]
She tapped on the headlines and found that the article actually wrote that she had purchased ten different haunted apartments in the Mian Lan North District. The author imed that she had done so for the sake of obtaining the Bai family¡¯s authority as soon as possible. The Bai family¡¯s luck was too strong, and as per the article, she was intentionally trying to ruin it through the possession of those haunted apartments.
They even criticised her for having gone mentally unhinged after spending eight years in a room where her mother¡¯s corpse was buried.
Thement section was filled with criticisms for her. They reprimanded Fang Xinxin for being so vicious.
A few smarterizens pointed out that perhaps, the future Madam Bai had her reasons for buying those apartments?
Fang Xinxin was angered for around thirty seconds before the emotions faded into indifference.
The current her wasn¡¯t as easily angered as she used to get in the past.
Bai Qinghao nced at her phone and frowned unhappily. ¡°The journalists these days are truly fearless! They even dare to write these things.¡±
Fang Xinxin rested her chin against her palm and asked. ¡°Do you believe in what they wrote?¡±
¡°Is there even a need to ask?¡± He tapped on her sharp nose.
¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean¡¡± She pouted.
Chapter 658 - News Report
Chapter 658: News Report
He tugged her back into his arms. ¡°Foolish girl. Everything the Bai family owns will one day belong to our future child. There isn¡¯t anyone in this world who hopes for the Bai family to continue prospering more than you. You haven¡¯t gone silly. Why would you try to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck?¡±
With regards to children, he had already gone for a hospital check-up recently and confirmed that his body did not have any problems in that aspect.
He had been cohabitating with Xinxin for so long, yet there weren¡¯t any signs of pregnancy. Could it be that she¡
He could not help a hint of worry as he quickly added. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want a child.¡±
She sighed in bliss. ¡°I have such a wonderful husband who trusts me so much. I¡¯m really so happy. Hubby, won¡¯t you worry that my mental health isn¡¯t faring well?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Bai Qinghao kissed her cheek lovingly. ¡°At the time, you were unaware that your mother¡¯s body was buried beneath the storage room that you lived in. It¡¯s natural that you didn¡¯t feel anything amiss since you were unaware. Although you found the body after, you were no longer living in the Bai family. Even if it caused some trauma to you, afterwards, I spent the time carefully apanying and taking care of you. I can tell that your mental health is stronger than anyone else¡¯s.¡±
¡°Even more than yours?¡± She raised her brows.
He chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m absolutely insane. I¡¯ve gone insane due to my love for you.¡±
His words left her in pain. She red at him. ¡°You spoke wrongly earlier. What did you mean when you said you carefully apanied and took care of me during that time?¡±
His expression turned heavy. ¡°Was I not good enough? Tell me. I¡¯ll learn to be a better husband.¡±
¡°You¡¯re more than good enough!¡± She burrowed into his arms and acted spoiled. ¡°What I meant was that you¡¯ve apanied me for much longer than that. You¡¯ve always been by my side ever since I was a child.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± He gently caressed her long, silky hair that flowed down her back. He murmured lovingly. ¡°I¡¯ve wanted you as my wife since we were children.¡±
Her heart was bubbling in joy but she spoke gloomily. ¡°Bai Qinghao, aren¡¯t you going to ask me why I bought those ten haunted apartments? In fact, only five of them are rted to murder incidents. The other five were sold cheaply for other reasons. That news outlet exaggerated the truth and wrote that all ten apartments are haunted.¡±
¡°Mian Lan North District¡¡± Bai Qinghao deliberated over this and quickly understood. A hint of smile appeared on his cold, stern features. ¡°My wife has a good insight.¡±
¡°Hahaha.¡± It was a wonderful thing to be praised by the love of her life. Sheughed happily.
Bai Qinghao instructed his people to take the article down. The newspany was also immediately shut down.
After washing up, the two of them headed downstairs for breakfast.
Bai Jingrou and her family also joined them at the table. She wasn¡¯t sure if Bai Qinghao had gotten to read the article that Fang Xinxin purchased the haunted apartments in an attempt to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck. However, she was certain that Elder Bai Chongshan saw it.
She even saw the elder reading the news with his sses.
However, both the elder and Bai Qinghao did not mention this matter. Bai Jingrou and her family naturally did not dare to bring it up.
After breakfast, Bai Jingrou and her family returned to Jing Xin Residence behind the main building.
¡°I thought Fang Xinxin would interrogate you about the news from this morning.¡± Bai Chenxi nced at Bai Jingrou. ¡°Could it be that she didn¡¯t see the news rted to her purchasing those haunted apartments?¡±
Bai Jingrou was in the midst of scrolling through her phone. ¡°She saw it. It wasn¡¯t just her. The entire Bai family knows of it.¡±
¡°But they didn¡¯t show any reaction¡¡±
Chapter 659 - Dead Fish
Chapter 659: Dead Fish
Bai Jingrou lifted the nk webpage on her phone screen. ¡°That news article has been taken down. Even the news website has been forced to shut down. It¡¯s only been a few hours. Fang Xinxin doesn¡¯t have the ability to do this. Only the Bai family does.¡±
Bai Chenxi was slightly worried. ¡°You say, will Fang Xinxin think that you intentionally arranged for someone to write this article?¡±
Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly. ¡°I was waiting for her to interrogate me. I even prepared a whole bunch of excuses to prove that she¡¯s wronging me. But I didn¡¯t expect her to remain so quiet. She must be trying to keep this matter small. The more she intends to do so, the more this matter will blow up!¡±
¡
Three dayster, Fang Xinxin headed downstairs after waking up and a helper immediately rushed to greet her. ¡°Miss Fang, things are bad¡¡±
¡°What happened?¡± She asked.
¡°All the fishes in the mansion¡¯s pond have died overnight!¡± The helper¡¯s expression was flustered. ¡°The Elder is currently by the pond.¡±
Fang Xinxin heard this and immediately rushed towards the manmade pond on the south side of the mansion. From afar, she saw that thousands of fishes were floating on theke¡¯s surface with their white bellies facing upwards.
Elder Bai stood by the pond with a look of pity on his face. ¡°All the fishes have died. What a pity!¡±
Bai Chenxi, Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu stood by the elder¡¯s side. Their expressions were fearful.
When Fang Xinxin appeared there, they immediately turned towards her.
¡°Miss Fang, you¡¯re here.¡± Bai Jingrou hesitated to speak. ¡°You¡¡±
¡°What about me?¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.
¡°Nothing.¡± Bai Jingrou shook her head.
¡°Father, the fishes have died without reason. This is a sign of misfortune!¡± Huang Zhishu addressed Bai Zhongshan.
¡°Pei, pei, pei! What do you mean by misfortune? Shut your dirty mouth.¡± Bai Zhongshan frowned. He raised his voice. ¡°Bai Mingde!¡±
Butler Bai, who was waiting nearby, approached him. ¡°Elder, what are your orders?¡±
Although Elder Bai studied a bit of Feng Shui, he was not superstitious by nature. ¡°Arrange for someone to investigate the water quality. If someone dared to poison my fish pond, they must be tired of living! Remove the dead fishes to prevent the water from being affected.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s heart shrunk for a moment. However, she recalled that Bai Mingde was the person-in-charge of this matter and her eyes glinted.
¡°Understood.¡± Bai Mingde immediately left the ce to carry out his orders.
Fang Xinxin sighed internally.
An old butler that was hypnotised by Bai Jingrou. What results could he possibly find?
She was certain they would conclude that the fishes died without any rhyme or reason.
Afterwards, the me would conveniently be pinned on her head.
¡°Xinxin, what do you think about this?¡± Bai Chongshan took in the pond full of dead fishes with a look of pity.
¡°Someone must have poisoned them.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s response was simple and direct.
¡°That¡¯s what I think as well.¡± Elder Bai¡¯s sharp gaze swept past Bai Jingrou and her family. ¡°You guys better not be the ones behind this!¡±
Huang Zhishu immediately cried and proimed her innocence. ¡°Father, you know that I¡¯m the most obedient. I haven¡¯t caused any trouble since I married into the Bai family.¡±
¡°Grandfather, this is our family¡¯s pond.¡± Bai Chenxi spoke indignantly. ¡°No matter how useless your grandson is, I would never do anything to our own family¡¯s fishes. I swear, if I yed a role in this matter, let God strike it¡¯s thunder upon me.¡±
¡°Of course you would make a vow like this. You aren¡¯t the person responsible for this.¡± Fang Xinxin nced at him mockingly before turning towards Bai Jingrou.
Chapter 660 - Problems
Chapter 660: Problems
The meaning behind her gaze was clear.
A hint of grievance appeared in Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression. ¡°Miss Fang, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you¡¯re suspecting me?¡± Tears were nearly forming in her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know how I offended you. You¡¯re always upset with me¡¡±
Besides calling out her grievance, it seemed like she had no intention of swearing her innocence.
¡°Enough!¡± Bai Chongshan raised his voice in unhappiness. ¡°I have more than enough troubles. I¡¯m already an old man, yet there are so many issues for me to deal with. Are you trying to anger me to death?¡±
¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t mean that at all.¡± Bai Jingrou rushed to speak untruthfully. ¡°I dearly wish you would live to a hundred.¡±
Looking at Bai Jingrou, it seemed like it was a daily affair for her to speak untruthfully.
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. Taking in the scene they had caused, it seemed like it was a good choice to not inform them that she had already registered her marriage with Bai Qinghao.
¡
In Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO¡¯s office, Bai Qinghao sat behind arge office table. The fountain pen he held in his hand danced across the documents which he was quickly reading through.
Liu Li knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Boss, a problem has arisen at the old mansion.¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his gaze from the documents. His eyes turned slightly cold and he indicated for Liu Li to continue speaking.
¡°All the fishes in the old mansion¡¯s pond died overnight. Elder Bai has instructed Butler De to investigate the quality of the water in the pond.¡±
¡°They didn¡¯t pin the matter on Xinxin, did they?¡±
¡°Not at the moment.¡± Liu Li shook his head.
Bai Qinghao responded coldly. ¡°The Elder can handle a small matter like this himself.¡± He waved his hand and Liu Li immediately left the office.
For the past two days, Bai Qinghao had been working overnight in order toplete all of the documents awaiting his approval. This way, he would have the time to go on a honeymoon with Xinxin after their wedding.
For the next two days, the two guard dogs the Bai family was raising barked non-stop and kept everyone awake.
Late at night, Elder Bai struggled to sleep with the noise. He tugged on a sweater and headed to the dog house.
He saw that Fang Xinxin was standing outside the dog house. The two dogs behind the cage barked relentlessly at her.
¡°Xinxin, what are you doing here?¡± Bai Chongshan was very surprised to see her.
¡°Oh, the dogs keep barking.¡± She responded with a frown. ¡°I came to see what the problem was.¡±
Bai Jingrou also came there. She cried out in astonishment. ¡°Miss Fang, why are the two dogs barking at you?¡±
¡°You can eat whatever you want. It¡¯s your own problem if you choke. But you can¡¯t spout nonsense as you please.¡± Fang Xinxin curved her index finger towards Bai Jingrou. ¡°Come here!¡±
Bai Jingrou was confused but still approached her.
Fang Xinxin took ten steps away from her and watched as the two dogs barked frantically at Bai Jingrou. ¡°Now, I¡¯m also allowed to say that the dogs are barking at you, aren¡¯t I?¡±
¡°¡¡± Bai Jingrou was rendered speechless.
That was fine. A little bit of intelligence wasn¡¯t enough for Fang Xinxin to run away from trouble.
There were many more problems waiting for her!
Bai Chongshan frowned and called for a helper. ¡°We can¡¯t leave these dogs barking incessantly. Call a vet over and inject them with some tranquilizers.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The helper immediately went to carry out his orders.
The dogs finally fell silent and everyone returned to their own rooms to rest.
The next day, Elder Bai Zhongshan practiced his calligraphy in the yard as per normal.
Fang Xinxin, Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu apanied him.
Butler Bai Mingde stepped forward to give his report. ¡°Elder, this subordinate has sent a sample of the water in the pond for examination. The results show that there wasn¡¯t any problem with the water quality.¡±
¡°You¡¯re sure that there isn¡¯t any problem?¡± Bai Chongshan ced the brush down and frowned.
Chapter 661 - Chain Of Unfortunate Events
Chapter 661: Chain Of Unfortunate Events
¡°It has been examined once and confirmed that there aren¡¯t any problems.¡±
¡°That¡¯s strange.¡± A hint of confusion shed past Bai Chongshan¡¯s gaze.
All of a sudden, a male helper charged towards Elder Bai Chongshan with a dagger in his hands as though he had gone insane. It seemed as if his dagger was about to pierce Bai Chongshan.
Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu, who were several steps away, immediately turned pale in fright. They both cried out in shock at the same time.
But Tong Yu appeared seemingly out of nowhere. With a kick, he sent the helper flying.
Elder Bai had yet to recover from the ordeal. His wrinkled face was extremely pale.
Fang Xinxin rushed to support the elder and asked in concern. ¡°Grandfather, are you alright?¡±
Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu also rushed forward. They said in unison, ¡°Grandfather/Father, are you ok?¡±
Elder Bai red angrily at the male helper who was held firmly on the ground by Tong Yu. He narrowed his eyes and saw that it was actually Hao Changsheng, who had worked in the Bai family for a long time. ¡°There are no grudges between us. You¡¯ve been taking my Bai family¡¯s sry, yet you dared to attack your master!¡±
¡°Hahaha! Hahaha!¡± Hao Changshengughed maniacally as he pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Demon, she¡¯s a demon!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡±
¡°She isn¡¯t human, she isn¡¯t human!¡± Hao Changsheng¡¯s expression twisted frighteningly. ¡°With Fang Xinxin around, the Bai family will never have peace! You¡¯ll suffer great misfortunes!¡±
Bai Chongshan was extremely angered by these words. ¡°Nonsense! Exactly who sent you to attack me?¡±
Hao Changsheng appeared not to have heard anything. His expression was maniacal and even his eyes were frighteningly bloodshot.
¡°Take him away. Interrogate him firmly. Force him to utter the instigator¡¯s name, no matter what!¡± Bai Chongshan waved his hand.
Tong Yu was about to carry out his orders when Hao Changsheng fell forward and copsed on the ground.
Bai Mingde immediately stepped forward. He checked for his breath with two fingers and reported heavily. ¡°Elder, he has stopped breathing.¡±
¡°Can you tell the cause of his death?¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s grey brows furrowed.
Bai Mingde scanned the corpse carefully. ¡°He appears unharmed. The cause of death is not noticeable to the eye.¡±
Huang Zhishu trembled in fright. She fearfully spoke to Bai Chongshan. ¡°Father, this Hao Changsheng suddenly lost his mind and died without a clear cause. Could it be that there really is something dirty in our mansion?¡±
¡°Grandfather, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly.¡± Bai Jingrou also appeared frightened.
Bai Chongshan¡¯s gaze was sharp despite his old age. He nced at the two of them. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±
Huang Zhishu appeared to have decided to give it her all. ¡°Father, too many strange things have been happening in our family. First, it was the fishes that died without any cause. Next, it was the dogs that barked relentlessly through the night. Even our long-time helper has gone insane. Could it be that there really is a problem with our Bai family¡¯s luck?¡±
Bai Chongshan raised his voice. ¡°Our Bai family is extremely prosperous. How could there be any problems!¡±
¡°For some matters, it is better to believe than otherwise.¡± Huang Zhishu began carefully. ¡°Father, I heard that Miss Fang recently used the money she received from younger brother, younger sister-inw and you to purchase ten haunted apartments. Those apartments are haunted. Could they have affected our Bai family¡¯s luck.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Bai Jingrou continued softly. ¡°If our Bai family¡¯s good luck was ruined by our future cousin-inw, will she be able to shoulder this responsibility?¡±
Bai Chongshan looked at Butler Bai Mingde. ¡°What do you think about this matter?¡±
Chapter 662 - Turn Them Into Ghosts
Chapter 662: Turn Them Into Ghosts
¡°It isn¡¯t good for this subordinate to speak on this matter.¡± Whenever there were arguments between his masters, as long as it did notpromise the Bai family¡¯s overall status, it wasn¡¯t right for him to express his private opinion.
Bai Chongshan rubbed his grey beard and appeared to be deep in thought.
Tong Yu stepped forward and said, ¡°Elder, I believe that this matter is unrted to Miss Fang. Rather than luck, it is clear that Hao Changsheng was instructed to act in this way.¡±
¡°How did you appear so quickly earlier?¡± Bai Chongshan verbalised his confusion.
Tong Yu did not hide this from him. ¡°Miss Fang had instructed this subordinate to secretly protect you from any harm.¡±
Bai Chongshan shifted his questioning gaze onto Fang Xinxin. ¡°Little girl, you knew beforehand that I would be in danger?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°But just as Huang Zhishu and Bai Jingrou said, a lot of ¡®strange¡¯ things have been happening in the Bai family. I was worried and immediately thought of you first. After all, you¡¯re an elder and it isn¡¯t good for you to suffer any fright. Thus, I decided to let Tong Yu pay attention to your safety at all times.¡±
¡°I think you were just trying to keep an eye on the elder,¡± Bai Jingrou mocked.
Fang Xinxin wanted to exin, but Bai Chongshan waved his hand. ¡°Xinxin, this little girl, definitely was not trying to do that. If it wasn¡¯t for her, perhaps my life would have been lost today.¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s tall and broad figure approached them.
Butler Bai Mingde stepped forward and reported the incident to him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp and cold gaze swept past Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu. ¡°The two of you believe that Fang Xinxin ruined the Bai family¡¯s luck, is that it?¡±
The mother and daughter pair that had been chattering on earlier immediately lost their courage after meeting his frigid cold gaze.
¡°I was just making a conjecture¡¡± Huang Zhishu began with some hesitation.
¡°A conjecture¡¡± A hint of mocking shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re dissatisfied with Xinxin¡¯s words or behaviour, feel free to scram out of the Bai family! This way, the Bai family¡¯s luck would bepletely unrted to you outsiders.¡±
¡°Qinghao, that wasn¡¯t what I meant.¡± Huang Zhishu immediately dered passionately. ¡°No matter what happens to the Bai family, I¡¯ll always be willing to remain in the same boat with the Bai family and confront the troubles together.¡±
Bai Qinghao appeared to have heard an especially humorous joke. He lifted his brows. ¡°Haven¡¯t you spent the past twenty years as leeches of the Bai family? Sharing the same boat and confronting the same problems? You speak as though the Bai family is in an extremely poor state.¡±
¡°That isn¡¯t what I meant¡¡± Huang Zhishu wanted to continue exining. The Bai family¡¯s influence and status was iparable in this country.
But Bai Qinghao did not have the patience to listen any further. He instructed in a heavy voice. ¡°Take Hao Changsheng¡¯s body away. Have a forensic investigator examine his body and rify the cause of his death.¡±
He then narrowed his eyes coldly. ¡°If this matter is found to be rted to anyone, punish them by death!¡±
Several people were left trembling in fright from his words.
¡°Understood.¡± Two of the helpers waiting by the side stepped forward to move the body away.
Fang Xinxin was unaffected. ¡°Hurry up and find out exactly who was behind this. It would be best if the instigator is dragged forward. We¡¯ll dismember them before burying them.¡±
¡°Miss Fang, you can¡¯t push away the me just by speaking harshly.¡± Bai Jingrou did not wish to offend Bai Qinghao and only said, ¡°I believe that Cousin¡¯s people will investigate fairly.¡±
¡°From the moment my uncle, Bai Pu, brought two outsiders into the Bai family, the Bai family was doomed to never know peace.¡± Bai Qinghao rubbed Fang Xinxin¡¯s cheek. ¡°But there¡¯s no need to be afraid. If anyone is found causing trouble in the Bai family, even if they refuse to leave, we can turn them into ghosts!¡±
Chapter 663 - Spoiled Madam Bai
Chapter 663: Spoiled Madam Bai
His words were clearly directed at Huang Zhishu and her daughter. Both theirplexions were especially poor.
¡°Qinghao, I don¡¯t feel very well. I¡¯ll go back to rest first,¡± Huang Zhishu spoke up with some embarrassment. She bowed before turning to leave.
¡°Cousin, regardless of whether you believe in us¡¡± Bai Jingrou spoke firmly. ¡°My mother and I are absolutely loyal to you and to the Bai family. I hope you won¡¯t misunderstand us.¡±
Her eyes were reddened as though she had suffered a serious grievance. She then followed after her mother.
¡°Don¡¯t pay them any mind.¡± Bai Chongshan spoke. He nced towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Little girl, you saved my life earlier. What reward would you like?¡±
¡°Although I gave Tong Yu the instructions, he was the one who rescued you. Give the reward to him.¡± Fang Xinxin was very generous.
Tong Yu was the chauffeur Bai Qinghao had arranged for her. He had been working for her for more than a year.
He was diligent and loyal. It was only right that he received some reward.
¡°No, no.¡± Tong Yu rushed to speak. ¡°I was merely carrying out orders. I cannot steal Miss Fang¡¯s aplishment.¡±
Bai Chongshan instructed. ¡°Since Xinxin has spoken, Butler, arrange a sum of money as reward for Tong Yu!¡± As for Fang Xinxin, she was his grand daughter-inw. The gratitude he had for her naturally could not be expressed through mary means.
¡°Understood.¡± Butler Bai Mingde responded respectfully.
Tong Yu could only speak in gratitude. ¡°Thank you, Elder. Thank you, Miss Fang.¡± He then followed the butler to collect his reward.
Bai Chongshan watched as Fang Xinxin obediently leaned into Bai Qinghao¡¯s arms. He scanned her expression carefully and saw that her eyes were filled with love as she returned Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze.
He rubbed his beard in satisfaction and left quietly, giving the two of them space.
¡
At Jing Xin Residence, Bai Jingrou sat down on the couch and chugged a cup of tea in anger. ¡°Mom, you say, exactly what charms do Fang Xinxin, that vixen, possess? Bai Qinghao is too biased towards her!¡±
¡°Look at her appearance and figure. As you said, she is the living image of a vixen. How could any man be spared from her charms?¡± Huang Zhishu¡¯s expression was simrly enraged. ¡°She actually dared to address me by my full name earlier. The Bai family didn¡¯t even think to stop her. I¡¯m her elder!¡±
¡°You¡¯re too useless. You didn¡¯t even point it out.¡± Bai Jingrou then sighed. ¡°With the way she is being spoiled in the Bai family right now, even if you spoke up, I¡¯m sure no one would stand up for you and force her to address you as ¡®aunt¡¯. Besides, she hasn¡¯t even married into the family. She doesn¡¯t have the right to address you as such.¡±
¡°The Bai family members are all blind.¡± Huang Zhishu sat down by her daughter¡¯s side and took in her beautiful and refined appearance. ¡°My daughter is so outstanding. She graduated from a renowned university and is well-educated. She even knows hypnotism. To think that the Bai family hasn¡¯t taken a liking to you¡¡±
¡°Mom!¡± Bai Jingrou rushed to cover her lips. She nced around and after confirming that there wasn¡¯t anyone around, she ced her hands down. ¡°You absolutely cannot tell anyone that I know hypnotism.¡± This way, it was easier for her to carry out her schemes.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Aside from your brother and me,¡± Huang Zhishu spoke firmly. ¡°There isn¡¯t anyone who knows of this.¡±
¡°Will my brother¡ keep this a secret?¡± Bai Jingrou was slightly worried.
¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Huang Zhishu assured her. ¡°We¡¯re your family. All of us worked to make you the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. We definitely won¡¯t harm you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Bai Jingrou nodded firmly. ¡°My mother is so beautiful and noble. When I finally be Madam Bai, you won¡¯t have to suffer anymore grievances!¡±
Chapter 664 - Cardiac Arrest
Chapter 664: Cardiac Arrest
Huang Zhishu nodded. She had been looking forward to such a future for a long time.
She then thought of something and spoke up in concern. ¡°Will they find any problems rted to Hao Changsheng?¡±
¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about the way I handle matters.¡± A hint of viciousness shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes. ¡°There¡¯s no way they¡¯ll find any clues leading back to us.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
¡
The next day, Bai Qinghao and Bai Chongshan sat down for a chess match in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s yard.
Fang Xinxin brought another chair over to sit by their side. ¡°Both of you are really skilled. You¡¯ve had almost six matches yet it isn¡¯t clear who the winner is.¡±
Bai Chongshan asked her. ¡°Between Qinghao and I, who appears to be more skilled?¡±
Fang Xinxin tapped on her chin. ¡°Grandfather, would you prefer to listen to the truth or to lies?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s the truth.¡± Bai Chongshan put on a stern expression. ¡°I¡¯m already an old man. I have no interest in words that go around the circle.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Fang Xinxin could only speak truthfully. ¡°Bai Qinghao¡¯s skills are slightly above yours. However, he is a junior and he is worried about your health. Thus, he has been giving in to you. Still, he doesn¡¯t like being at a disadvantage. Thus every single match has ended in a draw.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Bai Chongshan looked at her in surprise. ¡°You actually observed us this clearly? Xinxin, little girl, you¡¯re not too bad yourself.¡±
¡°I¡¯m Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife.¡± She smiled. ¡°With such a smart and capable husband, I can¡¯t be too foolish myself.¡±
¡°Good, good!¡± Bai Chongshan responded back with a smile. ¡°In fact, I¡¯ve always known that Qinghao is especially meticulous. Although I knew that he has been in control of our chess contests, I¡¯ve still only been able to move my pieces as he intended them to.¡±
This was the reason why his grandson performed so outstandingly in both chess and his career despite his young age.
Bai Qinghao raised his brows. ¡°Why do you enjoy the matches so much if you know you won¡¯t be able to defeat me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m slowly putting in the effort and working hard so that I can eventually defeat you.¡± A hint of grievance and helplessness appeared on Bai Chongshan¡¯s wrinkled features. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your skills have only been improving in the past ten years. No matter how hard I work, I¡¯ll never be able to keep up with the pace of you young people.¡±
¡°Grandfather, you have to understand that this is all thanks to your outstanding bloodline. Bai Qinghao took after your capability and therefore became this intelligent,¡± Fang Xinxin ttered him.
Bai Chongshan nodded and smiled. ¡°I enjoy hearing those words.¡±
At this moment, Tong Yu approached them and respectfully began speaking. ¡°Elder, Boss, Miss Fang, the cause behind Hao Changsheng¡¯s death has been found. He died of a cardiac arrest.¡±
Bai Chongshan was surprised. ¡°He had a heart disease? I¡¯ve never heard of this.¡±
¡°He dids.¡± Tong Yu reported. ¡°ording to the forensic investigator, he had been controlling his symptoms with medication while he was alive.¡±
¡°Did he consume any other medication?¡± Bai Qinghao questioned.
Tong Yu shook his head. ¡°He died abruptly because of cardiac arrest.¡±
Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°To think that they didn¡¯t leave a single clue behind. It seems like the instigator is quite capable!¡±
Bai Chongshan deliberated over this. ¡°Could it be that he really died because of his illness?¡±
¡°And he so happened to have attempted to kill you right before that?¡± Bai Qinghao asked.
Bai Chongshan fell silent and his expression stiffened. He understood that this matter could not be so simple.
Fang Xinxin suspected that Bai Jingrou was behind this. In fact, her entire family was too suspicious.
However, the other party was really cunning and did not leave any clues behind.
¡°Grandfather, it¡¯s clear what the person¡¯s motives are, based on the series of events that have happened recently.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°They intend to pin the me onto me and chase me away.¡±
Chapter 665 - Bai Bloodline
Chapter 665: Bai Bloodline
¡°In the Bai home, no one can force you to do anything!¡± Bai Qinghao tugged her up from her seat and brought her into his arms. He nudged her to sit on hisp.
Fang Xinxin waved her hand at Tong Yu and he immediately backed away in understanding. ¡°Since they have yet to seed, they will definitely attempt to strike again. How about we return their schemes with our own?¡±
Bai Chongshan raised his brows. ¡°You mean, we should convince them that I believe that the apartments you bought affected the Bai family¡¯s luck?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± She nodded.
Bai Qinghao frowned. ¡°No. If that happens, Grandfather will have to criticise you. You¡¯re my woman. No one is allowed to criticise you. Not even the Bai family¡¯s elder!¡±
¡°You stinky brat!¡± Bai Chongshan was unhappy. ¡°Look at you, you¡¯re so protective of Xinxin¡¡±
Bai Qinghao did not wish to listen to these unpleasant words. ¡°Grandfather, I need to remind you that Fang Xinxin is the only person who can further the Bai family¡¯s bloodline.¡±
¡°Did you think I wouldn¡¯t be able to understand you just because I¡¯m old?¡± Bai Chongshan was confused. ¡°There are countless women in this world. Why does it have to be her?¡±
Fang Xinxin was simrly confused.
Bai Qinghao gently caressed Fang Xinxin¡¯s cheek. ¡°She is the only woman I love. I won¡¯t touch any other woman besides her.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The elder was also a loyal man himself. ¡°Your feelings sure are strong. It seems like, for the sake of my future grandchildren, I¡¯ll have to treat Xinxin even better.¡±
¡°I¡¯m d you understand.¡± Bai Qinghao nodded in understanding.
Butler Bai Mingde led a man in his thirties over to their side.
The man looked at them and immediately bowed to introduce himself. ¡°CEO Bai, I am Yuan Qi, the person-in-charge of Yong Heng Wedding Company. After receiving the wedding design ns and programme schedule from you, ourpany has developed simtion images for the event itself. Please take a look at it.¡±
Saying so, he brought out a red photo album.
Bai Qinghao received the album and opened it. The first image was of a beautiful garden. The walls were covered in pink roses. The second image was of a cobblestone path with pink rose bushes on both sides.
The third image was of a romantic stage that had been built on a grass patch. Tables were neatly arranged before the stage and the area was surrounded with fresh flowers¡
Fang Xinxin leaned into his embrace as she took in the stunningly designed event location. ¡°Wow! The simtion images of the event location themselves look so romantic!¡±
¡°I¡¯m d you like them.¡± Bai Qinghao whispered into her ears. ¡°I designed them myself.¡±
¡°Hubby, you¡¯re so good to me!¡± Fang Xinxin did not mind that there were other people around them. She pressed a kiss against his cheek.
Bai Chongshan stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the wedding matters to you young people to worry about. I¡¯m old now and not as energetic as I used to be. I¡¯ll y the role of an attendee for your wedding. Feel free to let me know if you need my cooperation in any way on that day.¡±
¡°Grandfather, please go ahead and rest.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. Grandfather had the habit of taking an afternoon nap at this time everyday.
¡°Alright.¡± Bai Chongshan headed off with a nod.
Yuan Qi said, ¡°CEO Bai, I have found several outdoor gardens suitable for the wedding. Here are videos of the locations. Please take a look and see if they are to your liking.
They received the phone and saw the videos.
Bai Qinghao took a few nces at them before his expression quickly turned heavy. ¡°The environment is too poor. These won¡¯t work!¡±
Yuan Qi was covered in cold sweat. ¡°CEO Bai, these are the best I could find.¡±
Chapter 666 - Wedding Venue
Chapter 666: Wedding Venue
He carefully asked. ¡°How about, you personally select the location for the wedding?¡± The decision had to be made quickly. The wedding was only a few days away and it would take time to prepare the venue.
Of course, he did not dare to verbalise his thoughts.
Bai Qinghao did not criticize him as he had already made several trips to prepare these options. It was the locations themselves that were not up to standard. ¡°Everything has been prepared. Only the location iscking.¡±
He wanted to prepare a romantic wedding for Xinxin. Holding it in a hotel, church or in an outdoor venue were all far too typical.
He wanted to choose a special location, but this made the decision much harder.
Fang Xinxin suddenly spoke up. ¡°Why don¡¯t we hold the wedding in the Yu Ting Vi? The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s backyard is iparable. I think that if we decorate the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s backyard in this manner, it will definitely be stunning.¡±
Butler Bai Mingde normally refrained from expressing his opinions. However, he spoke up when he heard her words. ¡°Miss Fang is right. There are countless beautiful gardens and sceneries in the city centre, but none of them areparable to Yu Ting Vi¡¯s backyard.¡±
Bai Qinghao did not consider this beforehand. This was because the Yu Ting Vi was his own home.
Who would hold their wedding in their own home?¡±
¡°But¡¡± Bai Qinghao hesitated.
¡°Hubby, let¡¯s freeze this.¡± Fang Xinxin deliberated over it.
She felt that holding a wedding in the Yu Ting Vi would not only make for a stunning sight. It would also help them save arge sum of money for the wedding. Her husband had spent too much money on her. She wanted to help him save up a little.
Based on Bai Qinghao¡¯s character, it was likely that he would not rent a location but directly purchase one.
Bai Qinghao could not resist it when his wife acted spoiled towards him. He nodded lightly. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t mind it.¡±
¡°Of course I don¡¯t.¡± Her expression was filled with joy. ¡°In this lifetime, the Yu Ting Vi is my favourite ce because it¡¯s your home.¡±
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved by her words. ¡°Fang Xinxin, in this life, I, Bai Qinghao, will never let you down!¡±
She leaned against his arms in bliss.
No matter how the world changed or time passed, she would also never let him down.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were busy for several days as they prepared for the wedding. They also had their wedding photos taken.
In the midst of this, the Bai family appeared to have forgotten the issue of the haunted apartments affecting the Bai family¡¯s luck.
On this day, Fang Xinxin visited her elder brother, Fang Shaohua¡¯s,pany, Hua Feng Finance Company with awyer, Li Shaohong, by her side.
Her brother¡¯spany had been developing especially well for the past couple of years. As it was a newpany, the office upied the ninth and tenth floors of the Huan Ya Building.
Fang Xinxin had visited her brother¡¯s office several times in the past. She entered Huan Ya building¡¯s lift with Li Shaohong with ease and pressed on the button for the tenth storey.
The ss door with the words ¡®CEO¡¯s Office¡¯ printed on it was tightly shut.
Fang Xinxin had given her good friend, Sun Jiamu, a call beforehand.
Sun Jiamu had spent her previous winter vacation working as the CEO¡¯s secretary for her brother. She was continuing to do so this summer vacation.
She heard that her elder brother had left to discuss a contract and would only return at 3:00 in the afternoon.
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and checked the time on the screen. It was 2:30 right now.
¡°Oh, Xinxin, you¡¯re here!¡± Sun Jiamu stepped out from the secretary¡¯s office by the side and nced at Lawyer Li Shaohong in surprise. ¡°And Lawyer Li. May I know what you¡¯re here for?¡±
Li Shaohong had previously helped Fang Shaohua to overturn his case. Sun Jiamu had previously met him once when she attended the court proceedings for this matter.
¡°I was requested by Miss Fang to look for CEO Fang for some matters,¡± Li Shaohong spoke politely without revealing any details.
¡°My brother isn¡¯t back yet. May I trouble Lawyer Li to wait for us in the guest room?¡± Fang Xinxin made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture in the direction of the guest room.
Chapter 667 - Unrequited Love
Chapter 667: Unrequited Love
He followed her words and headed over. Fang Xinxin walked behind him and personally poured him a cup of tea.
¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± Li Shaohong had sat down on the sofa to rest. When he saw that Fang Xinxin had brought a cup of tea in for him, he immediately stood up and was overwhelmed by her generosity. He could not ept the tea that the future Madam Bai had personally prepared.
¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m CEO Fang¡¯s secretary.¡± Sun Jiamu also rushed to speak up. ¡°It is my responsibility to prepare tea for the CEO¡¯s guests.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Fang Shaohua is my elder brother and you are my good friend. There¡¯s nothing wrong with helping you to pour a cup of tea.¡±
Sun Jiamu was deeply moved by these words.
¡°Lawyer Li, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll call for you when my elder brother returns. I have something to say to Jiamu. ¡± Fang Xinxin spoke to Li Shaohong.
He immediately nodded in understanding.
She headed over to the secretary¡¯s office with Sun Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin scanned the environment. The windows were clean and the documents in the shelves were neatly arranged. There was even a cactus nt on the office desk. Fang Xinxin began with a sigh. ¡°Jiamu, you are the Sun Group¡¯s only daughter and you are a capable woman yourself. It must be ufortable for you to be a CEO¡¯s secretary.¡±
¡°It isn¡¯t ufortable at all. I¡¯ve learned a lot by your brother¡¯s side.¡± She said, ¡°It¡¯s good training for me. It¡¯ll also be helpful if I ever decide to return to the Sun Group to work.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded slightly and asked. ¡°How has your rtionship with my brother been?¡±
Sun Jiamu sighed. ¡°For the past couple of years, I¡¯ve been visiting Fang Shaohua¡¯s home frequently. At times, I would even insist on staying over.¡± She frowned. ¡°But no matter how I¡¯ve tried to seduce him, he remains unmoved.¡±
Her shoulders slumped down. ¡°I wonder if it¡¯s because I¡¯m not attractive enough.¡±
Fang Xinxin carefully sized her up. Her five features were charming and her skin was fair. Her brows also framed her face perfectly. She was definitely a beauty herself. However, her thick frame sses appeared especially out of style and it concealed her beauty. ¡°Jiamu, I think you should consider changing the way you dress yourself. Look for a good stylist and let him rmend some clothes for you. Your figure is good. If you dress yourself well, you¡¯ll definitely be able to charm him to death.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Sun Jiamu was surprised.
¡°I¡¯m certain of it.¡± Fang Xinxin rubbed her chin. ¡°There¡¯s no point in waiting. Bai Qinghao always buys clothes and jewelry for me. He has also gifted me a lot of make up. I feel that I do have some skills when ites to fashion. Why don¡¯t I help you deliberate over this? We¡¯ll go out right after this meeting.¡±
¡°Sure!¡± Sun Jiamu immediately agreed. She carefully asked her. ¡°Xinxin, your brother told me that he already has someone he likes. Do you know who that is?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart sank for a moment. She chose to shake her head as she was worried about losing Jiamu as a friend.
Sun Jiamu sighed. ¡°I¡¯ve been clinging onto Fang Shaohua for the past two years but I¡¯ve never seen any potential partners in his life. Even when I ask him about her, he refuses to tell me anything. I think that he is lying to me. He must be intentionally saying so to force me to back down.¡±
She appeared just like a warrior about to charge into war. ¡°Hmph, I will never give up on Fang Shaohua!¡±
¡°Is my brother¡¯s attitude towards you still very poor?¡± Fang Xinxin was troubled by this matter as well. However, she was secretly thankful that Sun Jiamu did not ask more about the person her brother liked.
¡°I can only say that it¡¯s just slightly better than how it was when I first met him.¡± Sun Jiamu felt a little helpless. ¡°But he says that the most he can do is be friends with me. He asked me not to dream of anything more.¡±
Chapter 668 - Relentless Efforts
Chapter 668: Relentless Efforts
She leaned close to Fang Xinxin¡¯s ear to whisper. ¡°Let me tell you, I even stripped naked and waited for him on the bed, yet all he did was scold me for being shameless. He then left in a fit of anger. After all this time, nothing has happened between the two of us.¡±
This left Fang Xinxin feeling just as helpless. ¡°My dear, I really wish I could push you into my brother¡¯s arms.¡±
¡°I wish for the same.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was pitiful. ¡°But it seems like he isn¡¯t the slightest bit attracted to me. He always maintains a good distance between himself and all the women around him. I can¡¯t help but suspect if he is gay?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. He absolutely isn¡¯t.¡± Fang Xinxin responded firmly. ¡°I can guarantee that my brother is attracted to women.¡±
Sun Jiamu sighed as she sat down before her office desk. She rested her chin on her hands. ¡°At times, I really envy you siblings. Your rtionship is really good.¡±
¡°Since young, my brother has always doted on me dearly.¡±
¡°Xinxin, your brother really trusts you very much.¡± Sun Jiamu analysed. ¡°Financially, Hua Feng Finance Company has stabilised and is prospering. Yet, the ownership of thispany still belongs to you. Recently, he purchased the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth storey of this building and all of these were done in your name. If it was me, if I had any siblings, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to do the same. After all, legally this indicates that both thepany and the offices don¡¯t belong to me.¡±
Fang Xinxin patted her on the shoulder. ¡°I won¡¯t betray my brother¡¯s trust.¡±
Sun Jiamu watched her apologetically. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m sorry. I actually thought about persuading your brother to transfer the ownership back to his name. I only gave up because I was afraid it would make him unhappy. After all, you are the future Madam Bai. If you marry Bai Qinghao, you¡¯ll be a family with him. Although the Bai family would never pay any attention to a smallpany like ours, it¡¯s still better for him¡¡±
¡°I can tell from your thoughts that you have his welfare in mind.¡± Fang Xinxinforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much about the ownership of thepany and the offices. There are some things that my brother hasn¡¯t told you yet. My brother started thispany back when he was on bail for medical reasons. As his crimes had yet to be cleared and he was still a criminal, it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to start apany in his own name. That is why he borrowed my identity to do so. I also gave my brother nine million dors to start his business. Although I tried to give it to him, my brother insisted he would only be borrowing it. Ever since hispany began making profits, he has returned both the interest and the original sum to me. Although hispany is now sessful, he is a very sentimental person. I am his only living rtive. For the sake of thanking me, he purchased the four floors of offices under my name. I¡¯m sure he is trying to tell me that he values me as a sister very much.¡±
¡°No wonder.¡± Sun Jiamu finally understood. ¡°I was still confused about how he had the money to start apany in the first ce. Of course, I did guess that you could have been helping him.¡±
¡°He is my only brother. If I don¡¯t help him, who will?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone was slightly heavy. ¡°Jiamu, though my father is in aa, I at least have one living blood rtive in this world. In that way, you could say that my heart has a home.¡±
She continued softly. ¡°But my brother is different. He really is an orphan.¡±
¡°You know of his birth background?¡± A hint of surprise shed past Sun Jiamu¡¯s eyes.
Chapter 669 - Tragic Past
Chapter 669: Tragic Past
¡°My father previously mentioned it to me. Back when he was young, he had a good friend named Ji Shengmin. Ji Shengmin and his wife ran a hotel and used to take very good care of my father. However, due to an ident, both he and his wife passed away. They left behind Ji Shaohua, who was less than a year old at the time.
The Ji family¡¯s rtives swallowed up the couple¡¯s inheritance but were unwilling to raise Shaohua. The first time my father went to the Ji home to visit Shaohua, he was extremely small and thin. It was clear that he wasn¡¯t fed well. My father personally took care of him for a few days and even gave the Ji family money, instructing them to take good care of Shaohua. At the time, they did give him their verbal promise to do so.
However, less than a dayter, my father began to worry again. When he visited Shaohua once more, he was already missing. After my father questioned them several times and threatened to call the police to arrest them for human trafficking, they finally admitted that they sent him to an orphanage. My father immediately rushed there.
At the time, there was already a couple who were preparing to adopt Shaohua. My father secretly investigated them and learned that the man who wanted to adopt him had violent tendencies. Although he owned a home, he also had several debts. Even his own birth child has passed away under his poor care. The woman also had depression. If Shaohua was adopted by such a couple, his life would definitely be doomed.
Fang Xinxin paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°At the time, my parents had just gotten married. A newly wedded couple normally wouldn¡¯t adopt a child, but my father was too worried so he brought the matter up to my mother. He did not expect my mother to be so kind and worry for Shaohua. She agreed to the matter readily. As my father had evidence that he was close friends with Shaohua¡¯s parents, as well as proof that the couple who were interested in adopting him were not suitable candidates, my parents sessfully adopted Shaohua.¡±
¡°My father said that he previously wanted Shaohua to keep the surname ¡®Ji¡¯. However, he also did not wish to let Shaohua know that he was an orphan in case it made him unhappy. Thus, during the adoption process, he changed Shaohua¡¯s surname to ¡®Fang¡¯. My mother also said that Shaohua was an especially easy child to care for. He was always very obedient and rarely made her worry. When he was around five to six years old, he was already as mature as a ten year old child. She really liked him very much.¡±
Fang Xinxin approached the window and took in the sight of the busy traffic outside. ¡°It was also when he was around five to six years old that he identally found the adoption certificate at home. At the time, he could already recognise words and knew how to use the inte. Thus, he actually found the meaning of the word ¡®adoption¡¯ and went crying to my parents, asking if he really wasn¡¯t their child.¡±
She sighed. ¡°My parents did not wish to lie to him and told him the truth. Ever since then, my brother became even more obedient and matured even faster.¡±
She truly wished her brother did not know that he had been adopted by the Fang family. Perhaps this way, he would consider her his actual sister and would not fall for him.
As of today, she absolutely did not dare to mention her brother¡¯s feelings for her in front of Sun Jiamu.
¡°It turns out that Fang Shaohua¡¯s birth was so tragic.¡± Sun Jiamu was in tears. ¡°Uuu¡ I¡¯ll definitely take good care of him in the future.¡±
Fang Xinxin reached for the tissue box on the office desk and helped her to wipe her tears. ¡°Although my past is rather unfortunate, my brother¡¯s past is even more upsetting. If his parents were still alive, he would be a wealthy young master with nothing to worry about.¡±
Chapter 670 - Return Things
Chapter 670: Return Things
She sighed heavily. ¡°Ever since my brother came to the Fang home, my parents have always treated him as their own. However, despite being an outstanding man, he was wrongfully jailed for three years. If it had been anyone else, the person would already have broken down and may have already gone insane. Instead, my brother remained resilient. As of today, my brother is much more sessful than most people. He is a man worth loving. I grew up with him and understand better than anyone that my brother is especially kind-hearted. If you were to be with him, over time, you¡¯ll definitely be able to receive a happy end.¡±
Right now, she only hoped that her brother could restrain his feelings for her and see her only as a sibling.
Sun Jiamu sniffled heavily and tried to stop her tears. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m not afraid of telling you this. I really love Fang Shaohua a lot. In the past two years, as I¡¯ve interacted with him and slowly grown closer to him, I¡¯ve onlye to love him even more. I can¡¯t live without him anymore!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart ached for her. She reminded her with some difficulty. ¡°My brother is slightly stubborn. If you insist on pursuing him, it¡¯s unavoidable that you¡¯ll have to suffer along the way¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Sun Jiamu quickly poured her a ss of water. ¡°You¡¯ve spoken so much. You must be thirsty. Have some water.¡±
¡°En.¡± She received the cup and took a sip. She then brought up the reason she was here today. ¡°Jiamu, I have good news for you. In eight days, Bai Qinghao and I will be holding our wedding ceremony.¡±
She then winked. ¡°In fact, Bai Qinghao and I have already registered our marriage.¡±
¡°Truly?¡± Sun Jiamu embraced her in joy. ¡°That¡¯s wonderful. Congrattions, my dear!¡±
Fang Xinxin nearly lost grip of the cup in her hand. She rushed to put it down. ¡°Tomorrow, news of our wedding will be released.¡± She handed an exquisite invitation card over. ¡°You¡¯ll have to be in attendance no matter what.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely be there!¡± Sun Jiamu promised happily. ¡°I want to be your bridesmaid.¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
Sun Jiamu asked her. ¡°Did youe to give your brother an invitation? In that case, Lawyer Li¡¡±
She nodded. ¡°I¡¯m about to get married. It¡¯s not suitable for my brother¡¯spany, as well as his offices, to be registered under my name. If anything happens to me, he won¡¯t be the first in line to receive my things¡¡±
¡°Pei, pei. Watch your mouth!¡± Sun Jiamu spoke angrily. ¡°You will live in happiness for the rest of your life. Nothing like that will happen!¡±
That remained an uncertainty. Bai Jingrou was a woman full of schemes and was much more capable than Fang Manxue. But Fang Xinxin did not bring up her worries. Sun Jiamu was sufficiently troubled by her brother¡¯s problems. She did not wish to add to her friend¡¯s burden. ¡°Regardless, I¡¯ll only be able to put my worries at rest after I return my brother¡¯s things to his name. Don¡¯t even think about persuading me otherwise.¡±
Sun Jiamu could only nod her head at those words.
At this moment, Fang Shaohua stepped out of the elevator and passed by the secretary¡¯s office. He noticed Fang Xinxin and his eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Xinxin, why are you here?¡±
His instantly joyful expression caused Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze to darken.
In the past two years, though Fang Xinxin and Fang Shaohua rarely met up, she realised that whenever Shaohua saw Xinxin, he would appear especially happy and excited. The intention in his gaze was somewhat ambiguous.
She had a vague sense of foreboding. However, at the thought of the experiences this pair of siblings had ovee, and Xinxin¡¯s feelings for Bai Qinghao as well as how well Xinxin treated her, she could only force herself not to think that way.
Chapter 671 - Signed Without Looking
Chapter 671: Signed Without Looking
¡°I¡¯ve been here for a while.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up with a smile. She followed Fang Shaohua into the CEO¡¯s office.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me beforehand? I could have waited for you.¡± Fang Shaohua prepared tea for her as he spoke.
¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare tea for me, Brother.¡± Fang Xinxin scanned his office.
An enormous, ck office table was paired with a genuine leather office chair. To the side, the guest sitting area was furnished with a leather couch imported from Italy. The matching coffee table appropriatelyplimented the furnishing style without losing the noble touch.
There were ceiling-to-floor windows on both sides decorated with money trees. It was indeed afortable office.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that my brother would be this capable. I¡¯m very proud of you,¡± Fang Xinxin spoke honestly.
¡°Do you really think so?¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart was filled with expectations.
Almost two years ago, he had already taken Xinxin¡¯s body. However, she was unwilling to mention this matter.
Back then, hispany was still not stable. As he did not have the ability to bring her happiness, he had tolerated this matter. But as of now, his Hua Feng Company was a new, outstanding member in the finance world. His ie was stable and generous.
He had also purchased four storeys of offices in the Huan Ya Building. He used two for his ownpany and rented out the other two. The rent alone was more than sufficient for him to live well.
Although hispany could notpete with Bai Qinghao¡¯s Sheng Shi Group, it was sufficient to give her some sort of guarantee for her future.
It was time for his Xinxin to return to his side!
¡°Of course.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded seriously. ¡°My brother is the most outstanding brother in this world.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression darkened. He did not wish to be her brother!
¡°By the way, Brother. I need some help from you.¡± Fang Xinxin brought out a document and ced it onto the office table. ¡°I was hoping you would sign your name here.¡±
She then approached Fang Shaohua¡¯s side to flip open the document. She pointed at several spaces.
Fang Shaohua directly signed his name without even checking the contents of the document.
When Sun Jiamu saw this, she felt very envious of his trust towards Fang Xinxin. Whenever she gave him documents to sign, he always made sure to read carefully.
Her heart felt bitter at the thought that Fang Xinxin was the only person in his eyes. He did not even pause to greet her.
Sun Jiamu was an intelligent person. She had already noticed something amiss but was simply unwilling to recognise it, wasn¡¯t it?
Fang Xinxin watched as Fang Shaohua signed his name and dialled Li Shaohong¡¯s number. ¡°Lawyer Li, you cane in now.¡±
Lawyer Li made his way from the guest reception room to the CEO¡¯s office. He nodded towards Fang Shaohua. ¡°CEO Fang, how are you?¡±
Fang Xinxin handed the documents over to him. ¡°You can begin the transfer of ownership.¡±
¡°No problem. I willplete it by today.¡± Li Shaohong was about to leave when Fang Shaohua asked. ¡°Wait, what transfer of ownership?¡±
¡°Mr. Fang, don¡¯t you know?¡± A hint of confusion shed past Li Shaohong¡¯s eyes. ¡°Miss Fang asked me to prepare a contract beforehand to transfer the Hua Feng Finance Company as well as the four storeys of Huan Ya Building under her name to yours. You¡¯ve just signed the contract for this matter. I will directlyplete the transfer and there is no need for the two of you to do anything else. I guarantee that I willplete this task before work ends today.¡±
¡°Wait, don¡¯t do it!¡± Fang Shaohua tried to stop him.
Fang Xinxin waved her hand. ¡°My brother has already signed his name. Lawyer Li, go ahead.¡±
Li Shaohong nced at Fang Shaohua but decided to listen to Fang Xinxin. He left with the contract in his hand.
¡°Xinxin, what are you trying to do?¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression turned heavy.

Chapter 672: Treat Jiamu Well
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for your business to be under your name?¡± She was unfazed by this matter.
¡°But¡¡± She was the very reason why he had worked so hard.
He wasn¡¯t sure why, but when he saw that Sun Jiamu was also in his office, he could not continue saying those words. Thus, he gave Sun Jiamu a look. ¡°Secretary Sun, please step out first.¡±
Jiamu nodded.
Finally, when they were alone in the office, he began bitterly. ¡°Xinxin, must you draw the line clearly with me?¡±
¡°Brother, I don¡¯t wish for your finances to be implicated by the Bai family.¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t asked anything of Bai Qinghao. How is this rted to him?¡± A sense of foreboding suddenly filled his heart.
Fang Xinxin did not wish to hide this from him. She brought the invitation out from her bag and ced it on the office table. ¡°Tomorrow, the news will report that Bai Qinghao and I will soon hold our wedding ceremony. I did not want you to find out through the news, so I came personally to tell you about this.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯splexion suddenly turned frighteningly pale. He clenched his fists in an attempt to control himself as he spoke heavily. ¡°You can¡¯t marry him!¡±
¡°In this lifetime, I will only ever marry him!¡± Fang Xinxin insisted. ¡°Brother, I am Bai Qinghao¡¯s wife. In the past, you¡ back when it was inconvenient for you, it was fine that you set up thispany under my name. But right now, it¡¯s better that it gets transferred back in your name.¡±
Fang Shaohua watched her fixatedly. His miserable gaze contained a hint of begging. ¡°Xinxin, you clearly know that more than a year ago, on that day in Hong Sheng district, when I was drunk, I clearly had¡¡±
Already obtained you!
Fang Xinxin assumed that he was about to mention his confession to her. She rushed to cut him off. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t bring that up anymore!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°No matter what, Bai Qinghao is the only person in my heart. I¡¯ve only ever seen you as my brother.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke. ¡°In this lifetime, I will only ever marry him. If you truly love me as your sister, please let go of me and grant my wish, alright?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not my sister. We¡¯re not rted by blood!¡± He suddenly raised his voice.
She responded gently. ¡°But we¡¯re much closer than siblings. You¡¯ve never ever hurt me. You¡¯ve always only thought about me. If I can¡¯t be with Bai Qinghao, I won¡¯t only be upset but my world would also¡ be ruined.¡±
Ruined¡ Fang Shaohua suddenly fell back onto the real leather seat.
It was as though all of his strength had been sucked out of him. ¡°Then do you know that¡¡±
If I lose you, my life will also lose it¡¯s only ray of sunshine, it¡¯s only hope!
Fang Xinxin understood her brother¡¯s feelings for her and did not wish for him to continue. She was afraid she would hurt him more and worsen her own heartache.
She brought out a marriage certificate from her purse and showed it to him. ¡°Bai Qinghao and I have already registered our marriage. Although our wedding will be in eight days, legally, I am already his wife.¡±
Fang Shaohua took in the photo of the two of them standing shoulder-to-shoulder. In the photo, Fang Xinxin¡¯s smile was filled with joy. Even the normally stern and cold Bai Qinghao had a hint of a smile.
Pain gradually spread through his entire heart. He felt as though a hole had been punctured through his chest and it left him unable to breath.
In the end, the Xinxin he had loved ever since he was young, still married another man!
Fang Xinxin kept the wedding certificate back and took in Fang Shaohua¡¯s heartbroken expression.
She also felt the urge to cry.. ¡°Brother, please let go of me and treat Jiamu well.¡±
Chapter 673 - Sneaky Measures
Chapter 673: Sneaky Measures
¡°Why do you have to be so cruel¡ You¡¯re not just rejecting me, you¡¯re pushing me towards another woman.¡±
¡°She¡¯s the one you should be treasuring. As for me, I¡¯ll always be your sister.¡± Fang Xinxin left these words behind and turned to leave decisively.
Fang Shaohua appeared as though his soul had been stolen. He stared nkly at her back view.
Right before she stepped out of his office, she paused.
He could not help but think that she had changed her mind. However, she only added heavily. ¡°I hope that you¡¯ll attend my wedding.¡±
Right after, she disappeared before his eyes.
It was as though she hadn¡¯t only stepped out of his office, but out of his life.
Tears rolled down Fang Shaohua¡¯s cheeks, yet he waspletely unaware.
Tears were meant to be salty. Why was it that all he could taste was bitterness?
Ten minutes ago, Bai Qinghao stood in the enormous Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO Office.
He knew that Fang Xinxin would meet Fang Shaohua today and inform him of her uing wedding.
He already knew that Fang Shaohua had inappropriate thoughts towards Fang Xinxin. Thus, he did not arrange for someone to follow after Xinxin. Instead, he had his men install a voice recording device beneath Fang Shaohua¡¯s office desk.
When he heard Fang Xinxin returning all of Fang Shaohua¡¯s assets to his name, Bai Qinghao was very satisfied.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s Hau Feng Financepany as well as the four storeys of offices in Huan Ya Building were worth quite some money.
Considering how Xinxin returned them to him without any hesitation, she truly did not hold any greed for his money.
When he heard Fang Shaohua iming that Xinxin was not allowed to marry him, Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes shed with murderous intent.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have allowed Fang Shaohua to clear his name two years ago. It would have been better if he had remained locked up!
His heart had softened for Xinxin but this has only added further obstruction to the happiness he shared with Xinxin.
When Fang Xinxin insisted on marrying him and dered that Fang Shaohua was only her brother, a hint of satisfaction shed past his eyes.
¡°If I can¡¯t be with Bai Qinghao, I won¡¯t only be upset. My world would also¡ be ruined.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s heavy and heart-aching voice could be heard clearly through the voice recording device.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frozen heart moved deeply listening to these words!
He had never known that he was this important to Xinxin. He was important to the point where if she lost him, she would be¡ ruined.
He closed his eyes.
Likewise, if he lost her, he would lose all attachments to the world. Fang Xinxin was his life!
He was thankful that he had secretly installed this voice recording device. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have heard his beloved wife¡¯s moving confession.
He had wanted to murder Fang Shaohua, but he felt all his anger dissipating after this.
At the end of the day, Fang Shaohua was but a pitiful man who would never obtain the love of his life.
When Xinxin invited Fang Shaohua to her wedding, Bai Qinghao immediately felt that this was a good idea. Fang Shaohua needed to clearly understand that Xinxin was a woman he could never have!
He could hear the noise of the office door closing. He guessed that Xinxin must have left.
Bai Qinghao was about to turn off the device when he heard Fang Shaohua¡¯s angered voice. ¡°To think that the great Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO Bai would sneak around to do such a thing?¡±
He had clearly noticed the device.
Bai Qinghao smiled lightly and said coldly, ¡°Not bad. You actually found it.¡±
Chapter 674 - Truth Revealed
Chapter 674: Truth Revealed
¡°Bai Qinghao, let me tell you, I won¡¯t give up on Xinxin! I won¡¯t!¡± Fang Shaohua suddenly raised his voice.
¡°Do you wish to scram back into prison?¡± Bai Qinghao threatened him coldly.
¡°I¡¯m no longer the same Fang Shaohua from before. I won¡¯t make it easy for you to scheme against me.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice was indifferent. He did not sound the slightest bit afraid. ¡°Of course, if I do end up imprisoned, you better make sure to kill me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll definitely tell Xinxin that you were behind it.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡± Bai Qinghaoughed. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll give you the opportunity to do so? I¡¯ll surely ¡®end¡¯ you before you get the chance to speak to her.¡±
¡°That¡¯s even better.¡± Fang Shaohua alsoughed softly. His gaze was filled with anticipation. ¡°This way, Xinxin will think of me and miss me for the rest of her life.¡±
¡°You sure have it thought out perfectly. Should I grant your wish then?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was frigid as he tapped against his office desk.
¡°I look forward to your decision.¡± Fang Shaohua responded before dismantling the audio recording device. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it into the trash bin.
¡
Fang Xinxin left Fang Shaohua¡¯s office. As she made her way past the secretary¡¯s office, she heard the clutter of documents dropping onto the ground.
She rxed her serious expression and entered the office to see Sun Jiamu on her knees. She was visibly flustered while picking the documents up.
Fang Xinxin rushed forward to help her. ¡°Jiamu, after your work ends, I¡¯ll help you toe up with ideas on how to dress up.¡±
Earlier, when Sun Jiamu left the CEO¡¯s office, she had been unable to hide her suspicions. Thus, she had left the door slightly ajar and stood outside to listen to their conversation.
She did not do so intentionally. She simply wanted to confirm if the suspicions that had grown over the past two years were true¡
It turned out that the woman Fang Shaohua loved was truly his own sister, Fang Xinxin!
Right before Fang Xinxin left the office, she had hurried to return to her own office.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart was pounding loudly from the conversation she had overheard earlier.
Her heart was both bitter and in pain. She could not believe this!
However, as she thought about it more, she realised that Xinxin was extremely outstanding. Even as a woman, she could not help but admire her. It wasn¡¯t surprising that Fang Shaohua, who had grown up with her, would have feelings for her.
From Xinxin¡¯s words earlier, it seemed like she had already known about this.
However, when Sun Jiamu asked if she knew who Fang Shaohua had feelings for, she had imed she did not know.
Jiamu understood that Xinxin was trying to protect their friendship.
¡°There¡¯s no need to wait for work to end. Let¡¯s go know.¡± Sun Jiamu took the opportunity topose herself as she rearranged the documents. When she lifted her head, she was smiling brightly as though she was clueless to what had happened earlier.
¡°Sure.¡± Fang Xinxin waspletely unaware that Sun Jiamu had heard their conversation and turned to leave.
Sun Jiamu followed after her. As she stared at her back view, she whispered softly in her heart:
I don¡¯t wish to lose this friendship either. All I can do is to pretend that I don¡¯t know anything.
Besides, Xinxin only had Bai Qinghao in her heart. She hadn¡¯t done anything wrong.
The two of them took the elevators downstairs and visited a nearby department store. Fang Xinxin helped Sun Jiamu to pick a few new outfits and a set of makeup products.
Fang Xinxin watched as Sun Jiamu tried on various outfits and was surprised by how wonderful her figure was.
¡°I¡¯ve tried so many outfits. Which did you like?¡± Sun Jiamu asked.
¡°They all look beautiful on you. Let¡¯s buy them all.¡± Fang Xinxin handed her card to the employee. ¡°Bill, please.¡±
Chapter 675 - Shopping Spree
Chapter 675: Shopping Spree
¡°Why are you paying?¡± Sun Jiamu wanted to snatch the bill but was stopped by Xinxin. ¡°My dear, I¡¯m making a lot of money these days. What¡¯s wrong with buying you some clothes? Take it. I¡¯ll be angry if you refuse to take it.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Jiamu was well aware of Xinxin¡¯s aplishments in her career. The Qiao Finance Group was really flourishing.
Her good friend dreamed of the day she could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Bai Qinghao.
On the other hand, Sun Jiamu did not have such great aspirations. She only wished to be with Fang Shaohua, and to, one day inherit her father¡¯s Sun Corporation. She dreamt of a stable life.
After purchasing the clothes, they visited a hair salon nearby.
Fang Xinxin searched for pictures of the hairstyle that was trending recently ¨C long hair with side bangs. She said to the hairstylist, ¡°Please style my friend¡¯s hair ording to this photo.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± The hairstylist quickly gave Sun Jiamu a haircut and then blew dry her hair to style it.
The make-up artist in the salon also assisted Jiamu with a lightyer of make-up.
When Sun Jiamu stood up, Fang Xinxin removed her thick frame sses and stood back to take her in. She was dressed in avender maxi dress. The delicate flower prints made a beautiful contrast against her snow white skin. Thevender belt also caused her waist to appear especially slender. All in all, her figure appeared especially charming.
With her newly cut side bangs and shoulder-length hair, her almond-shaped face was entuated. Her eyes were wide and apanied by her small nose and pink lips, she made for a stunning sight.
¡°Wow, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡± Fang Xinxin could not help but exim. ¡°I really did not expect my Jiamu to be this stunning after dressing up!¡±
¡°Am I really that beautiful?¡± Jiamu hesitated.
Fang Xinxin pointed at the customers around them. ¡°Look, all the customers are stunned by your beauty.¡±
She then pointed at the mirror behind her. ¡°Now, take a look at yourself.¡±
Sun Jiamu turned around. The woman in the reflection was dressed in a stylish,vender dress. Her skin was fair and her features were charming. She struggled to believe that she could be this beautiful after dressing up!
Fang Xinxin tossed her thick framed sses away. ¡°In future, don¡¯t wear sses anymore. It covers up your beauty. Besides, your eyesight is nearly perfect. It won¡¯t harm you if you don¡¯t wear sses.¡±
¡°En.¡± Sun Jiamu nodded lightly.
After leaving the salon, the two of them approached the entrance of Huan Ya Building. ¡°Jiamu, you¡¯re so beautiful right now. You should have a date with my brother. I won¡¯t disturb the two of you.¡±
Jiamu understood that she did not wish to see Shaohua. ¡°En. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll apany your brother.¡±
Fang Xinxin heard her words and deliberated over her good friend¡¯s tone. She suddenly realised that perhaps Jiamu had learned something.
However, since she chose to remain silent on the matter, she felt that maintaining the status quo was a good option.
¡°I hope you¡¯ll be my sister-inw,¡± Xinxin added deliberately.
¡°Me too.¡± Jiamu nodded.
Tong Yu had driven the car over and Fang Xinxin climbed into the backseat.
Sun Jiamu held several shopping bags in her hands and quickly entered the Huan Ya Building. She went up to the tenth storey and knocked against the CEO¡¯s office door.
There was no response.
She was Fang Shaohua¡¯s secretary and naturally had the keys for the CEO¡¯s office.
She unlocked the door and found that the office was empty.
She brought her phone out and dialled Fang Shaohua¡¯s number. However¡ his phone was switched off.
She immediately headed towards the Hong Sheng District to look for him.
For the past two years, she frequently visited Fang Shaohua at his apartment in Hong Sheng District to sleep over. Over time, she had gained her own room in his apartment.
Chapter 676 - Stormy Evening (Part 1)
Chapter 676: Stormy Evening (Part 1)
The apartment had three rooms and two living spaces. Fang Shaohua upied the main bedroom while she had forcefully demanded the other bedroom. Thest room was his study area.
Of course, nothing physical had ever happened between the two of them.
Still, she had the spare keys to his home.
She put away the clothes from her shopping bags into the closet and quickly drove out of the district to look for Fang Shaohua.
She recalled the cafes and entertainment spots he frequently visited.
She searched every location he could possibly be at. However, she could not find him.
The sky gradually darkened and the moon shone brightly in the sky.
As it began to drizzle, Sun Jiamu parked her car against the roadside and murmured in worry. ¡°Fang Shaohua, where are you right now?¡±
He wasn¡¯t at home, neither was he at the ces he normally frequented¡
Home¡ that¡¯s right. Fang Shaohua did not have any friends he could confide in. It was likely that he had returned home!
For the past two years, Fang Shaohua had always stayed in the Hong Sheng District. Hence, she hadpletely forgotten to consider his home¡ the Fang family¡¯s vi!
After Mother Fang Ln¡¯s body was found, the Fang Vi had been sealed for a while. However, after the crime was resolved, it was reopened.
Although Shaohua and Xinxin both did not live there, there were helpers who frequently visited the Fang Vi to manage and clean the ce.
There was even a bodyguard by the surname of ¡®Liu¡¯ guarding the entrance.
She drove quickly to the Fang family¡¯s vi, parking the car in front of the vi¡¯s gates. She lowered her window and pressed the car horn.
The bodyguard recognised her and opened the vi gates.
¡°Sir Liu, may I know if Fang Shaohua is home?¡± Sun Jiamu shouted towards the bodyguard.
He nodded.
Sun Jiamu stepped on the elerator and drove her car toe to a stop before the Fang family¡¯s building. As expected, Fang Shaohua¡¯s car was parked there.
After parking her car, she ran into the Fang home underneath the rain. Thankfully, she was able to dash in quickly and did not get drenched.
The vi door was slightly ajar and it waspletely dark inside. She could barely see her own outstretched fingers.
Sun Jiamu recalled that Fang Ln¡¯s body had been buried beneath a certain storeroom in this building¡
The body had been buried for nearly eight years before it was finally discovered.
She immediately trembled in fear.
She found herself paralysed standing before the door.
It was raining heavily and the wind was really cold that night. The thunder was also especially loud.
Just by standing before the entrance, she felt herself trembling.
However, at the thought that Fang Shaohua was inside¡
She mustered her courage and pushed the door open to enter.
Hu¡ hu¡
The cold wind came in furiously through the entrance and left her skin covered in goosebumps.
The lights¡ where was the light switch? She had visited this ce in the past but had never noticed where the switches were located.
It should be next to the door, shouldn¡¯t it?
She reached out to feel against the wall but failed to locate it.
Ring, ring, ring¡ Ring, ring, ring!
Her phone suddenly rang. With the stormy rain and the dark room, the noise was especially startling.
Sun Jiamu jumped in fright. She lowered her head to see that she had received a call. She answered with a tremble. ¡°Hello¡ who is this?¡±
There wasn¡¯t any noise from the other end. She could barely make out the noise of someone breathing.
Her scalp prickled ufortably and she immediately ended the call. She then turned on the torch light on her phone.
The ray of light lit up the enormous vi living room. However, it caused the dark corners to appear especially frightening.
She rushed to press her palms together. ¡°Auntie Fang, please rx. I am Xinxin¡¯s good friend and Fang Shaohua¡¯s future wife. I am your future daughter-inw. You have to take care of me.¡±
Right after she spoke, the vi lights turned on.
¡°Ah!¡± Sun Jiamu was especially afraid of ghosts. She immediately shrieked in fright.
Chapter 677 - Stormy Evening (Part 2)
Chapter 677: Stormy Evening (Part 2)
¡°Miss Sun, are you all right?¡± Bodyguard Liu appeared behind her. He had been the person to switch on the lights. ¡°When I called you earlier, I dropped my phone by ident. When I picked it up once more, you had already hung up.¡±
¡°Why do you have my number?¡± Sun Jiamu was concerned.
¡°Miss Fang gave it to me. She said that the Young Master maye here once in a while and that you may follow him over. She was worried that you would feel frightened in this ce and asked me to take care of you.¡±
¡°Xinxin is too thoughtful.¡± Sun Jiamu was deeply moved. ¡°Thank you, Sir Liu. I¡¯m all right.¡±
¡°Young Master is upstairs. Would you like me to apany you upstairs?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±
¡°Ok then.¡± Bodyguard Liu opened his umbre and turned to head out to the front yard.
The entire vi was well-lit and was furnished with expensive furniture. She knew that all the furniture in here had been reced.
Now that the ce was properly lit, Sun Jiamu was no longer afraid. She headed up to the second floor.
She coughed and the noise sensors immediately activated the lights in the hallway.
¡°Fang Shaohua!¡± Sun Jiamu looked at the rows of rooms on the second floor. She recalled that Fang Manxue and Yang Xueyao were both in jail, but Fang Liyin had already been shot to death.
When she was alive, Fang Liyin had impersonated as the female owner of this home and lived here for nearly eight years. Would she return as a ghost to this vi?
She sighed. It was no wonder that to the outsiders, the Fang vi was already considered as a haunted house.
She wondered which room Fang Liyin had upied when she was alive. She was afraid to search every room.
However, Sun Jiamu realised that she wouldn¡¯t be afraid even if Fang Liyin returned as a ghost.
A cheap woman like her had it easy with a death sentence!
She recalled Xinxin mentioning that Fang Shaohua¡¯s room was the innermost one on the third floor.
Sun Jiamu immediately headed up. In the past, the Fang vi¡¯s floors were lined with carpets. Now that the owners no longer lived here, the carpets had been removed.
Late at night, her high heels clicked against the ground loudly.
It was truly a frightening noise.
For the man she loved, she was willing to brave through her fear of ghosts.
She found that the innermost room on the third floor was slightly ajar. The lights were shut and the room appeared very dark.
The moment she pushed the door open, she could smell the heavy stench of alcohol in the air.
The light switch was right by the door. She quickly turned it on.
She found more than seven bottles of alcohol on the ground. Fang Shaohua was alsoying on the floor.
She rushed over to help him up. ¡°Why are you sleeping on the floor? It¡¯s cold tonight. You¡¯ll catch a chill!¡±
She wrapped his arm around her shoulder and supported him up. It was only then that she realised he was really heavy!
She helped him toy down on the bed and thoughtfully removed his shoes. She bent down to tug the sheets over him.
Fang Shaohua suddenly opened his eyes dazedly. He could see Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning beauty before him. His eyes lit up with joy. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded. ¡°I was worried about you. I had to search a lot of ces before I finally found you.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± Fang Shaohua suddenly tugged her forward and pressed her beneath him. He murmured huskily. ¡°Won¡¯t you stay by my side for the rest of our lives?¡±
¡°Alright.¡± She nodded seriously.
As long as he wanted her, she was willing to spend the rest of her life with him.
Outside the windows, the thunder had grown louder and the rain poured down heavily. The trees swayed along with the heavy storm.
Chapter 678 - Mistaking Jiamu For Xinxin
Chapter 678: Mistaking Jiamu For Xinxin
The next morning, Fang Shaohua woke up and stared at the ceiling in a daze. He felt as though his brain had turned into mush. It took him some time to process what had happened.
His arm felt slightly numb. He lowered his head and saw that Sun Jiamu was sleeping in his embrace!
He jumped awake in fright and with his movements, the woman in his arm slowly woke up.
¡°I¡¯m so tired¡ let¡¯s sleep a little longer.¡± Sun Jiamu rubbed her eyes and tugged the sheets closer to herself to yawn.
Memories of their intimacy fromst night slowly came back to his mind. Fang Shaohua nearly lost his voice from his shock. ¡°Why is it you?¡±
Why was it Sun Jiamu? Last night, it had clearly been Xinxin!
It was clear that in his drunken state, he had seen wrongly and mistaken her for someone else.
¡°I came to look for you.¡± Sun Jiamu murmured. ¡°Then, you pulled me onto the bed¡¡±
¡°I¡ I¡¯m sorry!¡± Fang Shaohua did not know what to say. He scrambled off the bed and picked up his clothes from the ground before stumbling out of the room.
After he left the room, the drowsiness in Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze disappeared. She sat up and began to tear up.
Truthfully, she had woken up before he did. However, she did not know how to face him and could only pretend to be asleep.
Last night, she had already be his. However, at that vital moment, his words had been, ¡°Xinxin¡¡±
His heart would not ache for her tears and pain.
To think that all he had for her was an apology.
He left without even thinking to take responsibility for her.
Forget it.
Things like responsibility were no longer meaningful.
Her heart was already thoroughly broken.
She had pursued him for two years, but never gotten hold of his heart.
Perhaps this was better.
Sun Jiamu picked up hervender dress from the floor and got dressed numbly. She had thought he would praise her for her beauty.
What was the point of hoping for such things from a man who could not see her?
She put on her heels and staggered out of the room¡
Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart was both overwhelmed and numb. He visited a nearby store and purchased two portions of breakfast before returning to the Fang family¡¯s vi.
However, Jiamu¡¯s car was no longer parked in the front yard.
He headed to the third floor and as expected, she had already left.
He dropped the breakfast on the ground. He also did not have the appetite to eat. He turned to head towards the yard. He wasn¡¯t sure why, but he was worried about Jiamu.
Although he did not love her, she had apanied him for two years.
Earlier, he had run away as though to escape. That must have hurt her a lot, didn¡¯t it?
He brought his phone out and typed out her number. However, he paused at thest digit and deleted the numbers.
This repeated endlessly. Thirty minutester, he finally called her number. All he could hear on the other end was a mechanical voice. ¡°The number you¡¯ve dialled is currently unavable.¡±
It was working hours. Perhaps she had gone to work?
Fang Shaohua drove to the office. In the past, he would never pause when he passed by the secretary¡¯s office.
Right now, however, he took the initiative to knock against her office door.
¡°CEO Fang, Miss Sun hasn¡¯te to work yet.¡± A cleaningdy informed him.
Fang Shaohua then entered his office to wait. After an afternoon, Sun Jiamu still did not appear.
He returned to the Hong Sheng District and assumed that she would be waiting for him at home.
Home¡
For the past two years, she always insisted on living here. Without realising, he had grown to treat this ce as Jiamu¡¯s home as well.
Chapter 679 - Resignation
Chapter 679: Resignation
There was no one at home and Sun Jiamu¡¯s shadow was nowhere to be found.
He could not help but step into her room to check. He found that her closet was open and there were several shopping bags in it.
Did shee by earlier?
He checked the receipts on the shopping bags. The bills were paid yesterday at 5:00 p.m. and the signatures on the receipt belonged to Xinxin.
He calcted the time and guessed that Xinxin must have bought these clothes for Sun Jiamu the previous afternoon.
Jiamu must have returned herest night before heading to the Fang Vi to look for him.
Fang Shaohua felt the urge to head to the Sun home to look for Sun Jiamu.
However, besides an apology, what else could he say to her?
Fang Shaohua felt very lost. He loved Xinxin deeply and never expected this to happen between Jiamu and himself.
His head ached badly. Rationally, he knew that as a man, and needed to take responsibility after stealing a woman¡¯s innocence.
However, he also needed to be responsible for Xinxin!
Even if Xinxin did not want him, he still struggled to let her go.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart hurt badly. He felt deeply flustered and helpless.
At the thought of what happened between Jiamu and himst night, the only emotion he did not experience was regret.
He did not regret it.
He thought about it. After attending Xinxin¡¯s wedding and confirming that she did not need him, perhaps, he could take on the responsibility as a man for Jiamu.
He switched the television on and every major news outlet was reporting on the news of Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin¡¯s uing wedding.
He closed his eyes in pain. His heart was bleeding.
For the next three days, Fang Shaohua attended work as per normal. Perhaps, this was because he was worried about Sun Jiamu.
To his surprise, the shock and fright he experienced from learning of Xinxin and Bai Qinghao¡¯s wedding had faded significantly.
Fang Shaohua sat in the CEO¡¯s office and frowned deeply. Sun Jiamu had skipped work for three days. As her boss, he would give her a good punishment!
However, he then recalled that he was the reason behind her absence!
An event like this was surely very hurtful for a girl. He immediately lost all thoughts of punishing her.
At this moment, Tian Siyu, the HR Manager, knocked against his door. She then entered the office. ¡°CEO Fang, Sun Jiamu¡¡±
¡°She¡¯s here?¡± Fang Shaohua stood up in agitation.
¡°No.¡± Tian Siyu handed a letter of resignation to him. ¡°This is the letter of resignation that Secretary Sun Jiamu emailed to our department. Please take a look at it.¡±
Fang Shaohua opened it and saw that the A4 size paper listed personal matters as the reason for her resignation. Sun Jiamu¡¯s signature was at the bottom of the page.
He clenched his fists tightly as his handsome features turned vicious for a moment.
This damned woman. He had yet to settle the debt between them. How could she possibly run away!
He angrily dialled her number but found that her phone was still shut off.
He then drove to the Sun family¡¯s vi in a fit of anger.
As he approached the neighbourhood, he deliberated over it before purchasing some gifts at the supermarket. He then pressed the Sun family¡¯s vi¡¯s doorbell.
A female helper opened the door. She clearly recognised him. ¡°Mr. Fang, it¡¯s you.¡±
¡°Is Sun Jiamu here?¡±
¡°Mydy isn¡¯t at home. I¡¯m not sure when she will return.¡±
¡°Hand this to her for me.¡± Fang Shaohua left the gifts behind before driving away.
At the very least, she was safe.
Sun Jiamu stood in a room on the third storey of the vi. She watched through the windows as Fang Shaohua drove away.
She smiled bitterly.
So what if he came to look for her?
She did not cklist him on her WeChat or phone. If he was sincere, he could have messaged her.
Chapter 680 - He Could Only Watch Xin And Hao Love Each Other
Chapter 680: He Could Only Watch Xin And Hao Love Each Other
Jiamu took her phone out. In the past three days, she did not receive a single message from him.
Fang Shaohua, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you¡ she habitually began writing a long message to him.
For the past two years, she had sent countless, simr messages to him.
This time, however, she deleted the message and did not send anything more to him.
¡°Sun Jiamu, I don¡¯t love you. I already have someone I love. Will you stop acting this low?¡±
¡°I beg you to stop clinging onto me. I already told you. I won¡¯t ever have feelings for you!¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s previous harsh words and disdain seemed to rey in her mind again and agin.
Perhaps, he even felt disgusted at the fact that he mistook her for Xinxin three nights ago, didn¡¯t he?
Sun Jiamu sat down, hugging her knees close to herself. She buried her head between her legs as she cried.
Ding!
Fang Shaohua actually sent her a message on WeChat: [I¡¯m sorry!]
These words filled Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart with pain and bitterness.
What she wanted to hear from him was ¡®I love you¡¯, and not these words.
She wiped her tears away and wrote a response to him: [It¡¯s alright. Let¡¯s treat it as though nothing ever happened between us.]
Fang Shaohua returned to his office to see the message from Sun Jiamu. He was initially surprised, but after reading the contents of her message, his expression turned heavy.
What did she treat him as? How could they treat it as though nothing had ever happened!
However, as he read her message, he found that he had nothing he could say.
For the next three days, they did not contact one another.
For the past six days, Fang Shaohua frequently stared at his phone. Initially, he wasn¡¯t sure exactly what he was doing.
He read through the past conversations he had with Sun Jiamu countless times.
Finally, he understood that he was waiting for her messages.
[Fang Shaohua, I really like you a lot. I¡¯ve pursued you for so long. Won¡¯t you give me an opportunity?]
[Handsome, don¡¯t be so heartless. No matter what, I¡¯m a student from a famous university. I¡¯ve ced my face down to pursue you like this. Can¡¯t you reciprocate even a little?]
[Fang Shaohua, I really like you a lot. Tell me, where am Icking? I can change¡]
[Fang one, I don¡¯t care if you already have someone you like. I¡¯ve fallen for you. You¡¯re mine!]
For the past two years, she had texted him nearly every single day.
In the past six days however, the only message he received from her was to put distance between them. He struggled to get used to it. He wasn¡¯tfortable with it at all!
He dialled Sun Jiamu¡¯s number again but found that her phone was still turned off.
It would be Xinxin¡¯s wedding tomorrow.
Jiamu was Xinxin¡¯s good friend. She would definitely be there. When he met her at the wedding¡
Fang Shaohua gathered his resolve.
¡
At this moment, in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
Bai Jingrou had spent the past few days watching Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao leave home and return from work together. They were extremely intimate and loving.
As she watched them, her teeth had nearly broken from the way she gritted them together.
However, on the surface, she had to continue treating Fang Xinxin politely.
Bai Chenxi noticed his sister standing alone in the garden. He approached her and spoke unhappily. ¡°Jingrou, do you actually know how to stop the wedding? Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin will be getting married tomorrow. You sure are being patient.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled coldly. ¡°It won¡¯t be so easy for them to conduct their wedding!¡±
At this moment, Ji Qing, a maid, walked by. She held a tray with an empty bowl on it. When she walked by them, she bowed politely. ¡°Miss Bai.¡±
¡°En.¡± Bai Jingrou nodded.
Ji Qing left quietly.
Chapter 681 - Yu Ting Villa Maid
Chapter 681: Yu Ting Vi Maid
Bai Chenxi asked her. ¡°That maid looks quite familiar. Where have I seen her before?¡± He then pped his own head. ¡°It¡¯s the Yu Ting Vi maid. I met her in Bai Qinghao¡¯s Yu Ting Vi. Why is she here at the old Bai family¡¯s mansion?¡±
¡°She was always a maid from the old Bai mansion. She¡¯s quite quick-witted and managed to work at the Yu Ting Vi for several years because she won Elder Bai¡¯s favour. She¡¯s just been transferred back.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled and replied. ¡°Right now, she is the Elder¡¯s personal maid.¡±
¡°Do you mean that she is trying to seduce the elder?¡±
¡°You¡¯re looking down on her appetite.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly. ¡°The man she likes is not the old man who refuses to die, Bai Chongshan. It¡¯s the young Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°I really can¡¯t tell.¡± Bai Chenxi appeared deep in thought.
¡°There¡¯s a lot you fail to notice. How could the people serving the Elder be simple in any way?¡± Bai Jingrou continued mockingly. ¡°Back then, Fang Xinxin was so ugly. Did you notice that she is actually a stunning beauty?¡±
¡°Fine. I admit that I¡¯m blind.¡± Bai Chenx¡¯s expression was slightly heavy.
¡°Ji Qing, this maid, will be extremely useful in the future!¡± Bai Jingrou smiled calctively.
¡°Don¡¯t talk about the future. Let¡¯s talk about the present.¡± Bai Chenxi frowned. ¡°After tomorrow, Fang Xinxin will be Bai Qinghao¡¯s formal wife in the eyes of the public. Your beautiful dream is about to be ruined.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly. ¡°At the moment, it seems like only Elder Bai has the ability to stop the wedding.¡±
¡°That old thing can barely wait for Bai Qinghao to get married. How could he possibly stop the wedding?¡± Bai Chenxi hated the surname ¡®Bai¡¯. This was because though he carried the surname as well, he was not acknowledged as a member of the Bai family.
¡°That¡¯s not within his control.¡± Jingrou¡¯s smile was especially ¡®graceful¡¯.
That evening, the Bai family¡¯s elder, Bai Chongshan, became seriously ill and fell into aa. He was immediately sent to the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Jia Ya Hospital.
On the thirty-eighth floor of Jia Ya Hospital, Grandfather Bai was admitted into one of the hospital suites in the VIP patient ward.
Bai Qinghao, Fang Xinxin as well as Bai Jingrou¡¯s family of three stood inside the hospital.
Even Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi rushed over in a hurry.
¡°Doctor, how is my father doing right now?¡± Bai Hong immediately asked the moment he stepped into the hospital room.
Doctor Guo Yi began seriously. ¡°Elder Bai suffered a heart attack and is currently in aa. The situation isn¡¯t very optimistic right now.¡±
¡°When will he wake up?¡±
¡°We can¡¯t be certain about that. It might take a few days, but it may also¡¡± Doctor Guo¡¯s words meant that there was a possibility Bai Chongshan would never wake up.
Bai Hong¡¯s expression was heavy.
Guo Yi scanned the room. ¡°Quiet should be maintained in the hospital room. It would be best if only one or two family members remain to watch the patient. Everyone else should return.¡± Saying so, he left the hospital room.
Bai Jingrou immediately volunteered. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, please go home first. I¡¯ll stay behind to take care of Grandfather.¡±
Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi were unmoved by her way of addressing them.
¡°You¡¯re not the elder¡¯s actual blood rtive.¡± Bai Hong responded. ¡°How could we make you stay behind?¡±
Bai Jingrou was directly and clearly humiliated. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
Bai Chenxi spoke heavily. ¡°In that case, we will trouble you guys to decide who should stay behind.¡±
¡°We will wait outside.¡± Huang Zhishu knew that their presence was unwanted. She tugged her children to the hallway outside.
This was the patient¡¯s ward for the VIP. There werefortable chairs scattered all across the hallway.
Chapter 682 - Dying Wish
Chapter 682: Dying Wish
The three of them sat right outside the Elder¡¯s hospital room.
Inside the room, Bai Hong nced at his unconscious father. ¡°It seems like Father won¡¯t wake up until tomorrow and Qinghao¡¯s wedding is tomorrow¡¡±
Ye Yunzhi was also put on the spot. ¡°We¡¯ve already notified all the guests. It wouldn¡¯t be good if we suddenly cancelled the wedding¡¡±
¡°But Father¡¯s illness¡¡± Bai Hong frowned heavily. He then nced at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Qinghao, what do you think about this?¡±
The hospital room door was left slightly ajar. Bai Jingrou stood closely to the door in the hallway and appeared as though she was using her phone. In truth, however, she was listening to their conversation.
She thought internally: The Elder is on his deathbed. The Bai family will most likely cancel the wedding.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghao spoke firmly. ¡°The wedding will be held nheless!¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Bai Hong actually agreed immediately.
Bai Jingrou was immediately angered to the point where her heart was hurting. Ever since Hao Changsheng failed to kill Grandfather Bai, the Bai family became especially cautious when it came to protecting him. There was absolutely no way for her to carry out any scheme.
She had considered countless plots before she finally managed to trigger the Elder¡¯s heart attack.
She did not expect the Bai family to be this heartless. They were actually insisting on carrying out the wedding regardless of the Elder¡¯s condition.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice could then be heard. ¡°Qinghao, Grandfather is so seriously ill. Is it a good idea to still hold a wedding right now?¡±
Bai Jingrou resisted the urge to tear off Fang Xinxin¡¯s lips. She was certain that Fang Xinxin was beyond excited for the wedding and was putting up a weak protest for the sake of it.
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with it!¡± Bai Qinghao responded seriously. ¡°If we cancel the wedding for Grandfather, he will feel guilty when he wakes up.¡±
Huang Zhishu knocked against the hospital room door and entered. ¡°Qinghao¡¡± She bowed lightly towards Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi. ¡°Younger Brother-inw, Younger Sister-inw, I¡¯m also the Bai Family¡¯s daughter-inw. There¡¯s something I feel I must say. Is that alright?¡±
Bai Hong¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Speak.¡±
¡°Earlier, the doctor informed us that the Elder is in a critical state.¡± A hint of hesitation shed past Huang Zhishu¡¯s face. ¡°If Qinghao hold his wedding tomorrow and Father¡ if he passes away, wouldn¡¯t it be¡¡±
¡°You rotten mouth!¡± Huang Zhishu scolded. ¡°Sister-inw, do you hope for Father to pass away that much?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± She rushed to exin.
¡°It¡¯s clear to me that you don¡¯t wish for Qinghao to hold his wedding.¡± Ye Yunzhi¡¯s expression was stern. ¡°Why do you have such an unkind heart?¡±
Huang Zhishu exined hastily. ¡°I¡¯m saying this for Fang Xinxin¡¯s sake.¡±
Fang Xinxin pointed at herself in disbelief. ¡°How is this rted to me again?¡±
¡°Think about it, Xinxin.¡± Huang Zhishu spoke clearly. ¡°If the Elder passes away tomorrow, and the Bai family insists on holding a wedding, everyone will say that it was the newly married daughter-inw that cursed the Elder to death. You would then be wrongly med for cursing your rtives¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Qinghao raised his voice. ¡°To think that an outsider dares to run her mouth off here. She is my woman. Who dares to say that about her!¡±
Huang Zhishu refused to give up. ¡°Qinghao, my words may not be pleasant to hear, but it¡¯s the truth.¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with murderous intent.
Huang Zhishu was certain that if looks could kill, she would already have died several thousand times by now.
She immediately rushed out of the hospital room in fright.
However, she still felt that it was necessary for her to speak earlier.
Bai Qinghao frowned as he nced lightly at his parents. ¡°If Grandfather truly passes away tomorrow, I will announce that it was his dying wish for us to hold the wedding as per normal.¡±
Chapter 683 - A Good Woman
Chapter 683: A Good Woman
The wedding was not to be postponed. He had already waited for too damn long!
Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi nodded. The couple went out of the hospital room, leaving Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin to take care of the Elder.
Bai Qinghao saw that Fang Xinxin¡¯splexion was slightly poor. It was already 11:00 in the evening. He said with some heartache, ¡°Go ahead and rest. Everything will be fine as long as I¡¯m here.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± She shook her head. ¡°Grandfather treats me very well. I wish to remain here with him.¡±
He was deeply moved by these words.
In the past, she once mentioned that she hated both him and his family.
Hence, he loved the current her even more dearly, and was filled with gratitude towards God for how she had changed.
If Fang Xinxin could hear his thoughts, she would definitely say, ¡®You were the one who changed me from a bastard to a good woman.¡¯
His evesting love from their previous lifetime had left a permanent mark in her heart.
Bai Qinghao rarely expressed any emotions, making most people assume that he was cold-hearted.
However, Fang Xinxin could see a hint of grief in his sharp gaze.
He was worried about Grandfather.
She reached out her hand and held his. ¡°Qinghao, don¡¯t worry. Grandfather will be alright.¡±
Based on her past life, Grandfather Bai still had many more years to live.
However, back then, she had not been present for her own wedding. The wedding with an absent bride had caused Bai Qinghao to be aughing stock.
She hadn¡¯t learned to care for Grandfather Bai at the time and naturally did not know how long it took for him to wake up.
¡°En.¡± He wasn¡¯t sure if it was her gentle concern that put his heart at ease, or if it was because he had grown to trust her deeply. The restless worry he was feeling, disappeared in an instant.
At midnight, the noise of footsteps and a walking stick clicking against the ground could be heard in the hallway.
Long Jingyuan, the director of the Long Group, entered the hospital room with his bodyguards.
He nced at the unconscious Bai Chongshan and sighed. ¡°Aiyo, Old Bai, you¡¯re only several years older than me. Why are you lying over there? When I visited you a few days ago, you were still so energetic. Is your body that useless?¡±
Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu had already left by this time. Bai Jingrou, who had been waiting in the hallway, rushed to follow after him when she saw her own grandfather appear. ¡°Grandfather, why did youe here?¡±
Long Jingyuan noticed his own granddaughter and said, ¡°Jingrou, ah. You¡¯re still here at this time?¡±
¡°Grandfather Bai is ill. I¡¯m worried about him.¡± She nodded. Her heart was extremely heavy.
The Bai family did not release news about Elder Bai¡¯s illness. How did this Old Long find out about it?
It didn¡¯t matter that he was here to visit the patient. The problem was that the person next door was¡
If Long Jingyuan saw the unconscious man next door, she would be ruined!
While everyone was distracted, she quietly swallowed a pill.
¡°You¡¯re a filial child.¡± Long Jingyuan spoke appropriately. He noticed Fang Xinxin, who was seated by the hospital bed and his eyes lit up. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re also here.¡±
¡°Grandfather Long, hello.¡± Fang Xinxin stood up and greeted him with a smile.
She poured him a cup of tea and handed it over to him. ¡°Grandfather Long, please have some tea.¡±
Long Jingyuan received the cup. The more he looked at Fang Xinxin, the more he felt at home with her. ¡°Xinxin, ah. You¡¯re getting married tomorrow?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin responded with a smile. ¡°Will you attend my wedding?¡±
¡°I will, of course I will!¡± Long Jingyuan patted his own chest and dered. ¡°Grandfather Long will definitely prepare a big red packet for you!¡±
Chapter 684 - Become My Grandson-in-law
Chapter 684: Be My Grandson-inw
He wasn¡¯t sure why but he felt a sense of closeness towards her. As though, even if he had to give the entire Long Group to Xinxin right now, he would be willing.
His sharp gaze then shifted towards the silent Bai Jingrou. Once more, he felt keenly that her intentions were impure.
He recalled that Bai Jingrou had provided her and her father¡¯s, Long Xuan¡¯s, hair.
He had a DNA test conducted with that along with his own hair and confirmed that her father was indeed his son. ording to the results, she was also certainly her granddaughter.
Bai Jingrou was absolutely a blood rtive of the Long family. During the DNA test, he had sent his own subordinate to observe the entire process. The results could not be wrong.
This was the truth. Why was it then, that he did not feel close to Jingrou at all?
Long Jingyuan found this embarrassing.
¡°No, no, no.¡± Fang Xinxin rushed to wave her hands. ¡°Grandfather Long, it¡¯ll be enough that you¡¯re present. You don¡¯t have to prepare any gifts.¡±
¡°I have to, I have to.¡± The more Long Jingyuan looked at Fang Xinxin, the more he felt satisfied with her.
Even Bai Qinghao noticed that Long Jingyuan¡¯s attitude towards Fang Xinxin was out of the ordinary. He raised his brows.
However, after deliberating over it, he realised that his Xinxin was not only a stunning beauty but also had a wonderful heart. It was only natural that everyone would be fond of her.
Long Jingyuan nced at Bai Qinghao. Just by sitting there, Bai Qinghao¡¯s charisma was undeniable. He was a noble and powerful presence and was definitely a king among men!
At times, he truly envied the Old Bai for having such an outstanding grandson.
On the other hand, he only had a granddaughter whom he did not like very much.
Still, it was a blessing that he had a granddaughter. The Long family barely had any children left.
¡°You didn¡¯t even address me as ¡®Grandfather¡¯ when you saw me.¡± Long Jingyuan turned to Bai Qinghao sternly. It was clear who he was addressing this to.
¡°Director Long.¡± Bai Qinghao only gave him a polite response.
¡°Even Fang Xinxin calls me Grandfather Long. You¡¯re so impolite.¡±
Bai Qinghao was unfazed. He responded coldly. ¡°If Director Long is unhappy, please feel free to leave.¡±
Long Jingyuan was speechless. He rubbed his beard and red at him. ¡°You¡ I won¡¯t be petty with a junior.¡±
¡°Just because you are older, it doesn¡¯t mean you can take advantage of your seniority.¡±
¡°You have a strong character.¡± Long Jingyuan did not be angry.
Instead, he praised him with a smile. He then sighed. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. If only you could be my grandson-inw.¡±
Bai Jingrou suddenly blushed. She spoke shyly. ¡°Grandfather¡¡± She also wished she could marry Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao nced at Bai Jingrou¡¯s shy and bashful expression. His gaze was filled with mocking. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that granddaughter of yours.¡±
¡°Cousin¡¡± Bai Jingrou was bluntly humiliated. Her eyes reddened in grievance.
She originally assumed Long Jingyuan would stand up for her. However, she was unaware that even Long Jingyuan himself hoped for a different granddaughter. It was a pity that matters of blood rtion could not be altered.
He patted her shoulder infort. ¡°Jingrou ah, Grandfather was wrong. I made an inappropriate joke.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Bai Jingrou felt upset internally, but she supported Long Jingyuan to sit on the couch. ¡°Grandfather, please sit down. You must be tired. I¡¯ll massage your shoulders for you.¡±
She then began pressing on his shoulders.
Bai Qinghao lifted his wrist and checked the time. It was already midnight. He frowned. ¡°Xinxin, go home and rest. It won¡¯t be good if you attend our wedding with a pair of dark eye circles.¡±
¡°But Grandfather¡¡± She spoke up in concern.
¡°I¡¯ll stay by his side.¡± Bai Qinghao responded. ¡°My parents wille by soon. I¡¯ll go home to rest after.¡±
She nodded. ¡°En. Then I¡¯ll go next door to visit my father for a while before returning to the Fang family¡¯s vi.¡±
Chapter 685 - The Long Familys Third Son Married Out Of The Family
Chapter 685: The Long Family¡¯s Third Son Married Out Of The Family
Bai Qinghao nodded lightly in agreement. However, he could not help but worry. Mother Fang Ln¡¯s body had been buried in the Fang family¡¯s vi for nearly eight years. Would Xinxin feel afraid returning there?
However, she will be marrying out of her family tomorrow. It was necessary for her to go from the Fang home to enter the Bai home.
When Long Jinyuan heard these words, a hint of surprise shed past his face. ¡°Xinxin, your father is hospitalised in the room next door?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s heart jumped in fright at his question.
¡°That¡¯s right, Grandfather Long.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°My father suffered a stroke five years ago and went into aa. The chances of him waking up is very low.¡±
Long Jingyuan held his walking stick to stand. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take this opportunity to visit your father.¡±
Truly, the very thing you fear will alwayse! Bai Jingrou¡¯s heart nearly mmed out of her chest. She spoke somewhat unhappily. ¡°Grandfather, it¡¯ste at night. You must be tired. You should go home and rest early.¡±
¡°It won¡¯t be toote to leave after visiting Father Fang.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Bai Jingrou wanted to try harder to stop him. However, Bai Qinghao was an extremely intelligent man. It would be bad if he noticed something amiss.
Still, she absolutely could not allow Long Jingyuan to see Long Yifan!
Fang Xinxin wanted to refuse him. However, after considering that he had good intentions, she agreed. ¡°Ok then, Grandfather Long, please follow me.¡±
Bai Jingrou supported Long Jingyuan out of the hospital room as he asked Fang Xinxin. ¡°What¡¯s your father¡¯s name?¡±
¡°My father¡¯s name is Long Yifan.¡± Fang Xinxinfortably replied.
¡°Oh?¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s grey brows lifted. ¡°Your father also has the surname of Long? In that case, he shares the same ancestors as my Long family. Why isn¡¯t his surname Fang?¡±
Fang Xinxin was not embarrassed to tell him. ¡°Um¡ My father married into the Fang family. He became a son-inw living in his wife¡¯s family, so I naturally took my mother¡¯s surname.¡±
When Long Jingyuan heard this, he became extremely angry. His sudden anger caused his old body to tremble.
Speaking of which, it had been twenty-seven years ago. Back then, his third son, Long Xuan, had fought with his family over a woman and eloped with that woman!
He even dered that all his future children would take on that woman¡¯s surname!
This event had angered him to death! That son of his had thrown away the faces of all eighteen generations of their ancestor. At the time, he immediately dered that he did not have a son like this. He even told Long Xuan to never return home, and to take it as though the Long family never had a child like him.
After that, the rebellious child truly disappeared for twenty-seven years. When Jingrou came to meet him, she said that he had passed away from an illness and that his body was buried in a graveyard outside the city. Even the hair used for the DNA test had been retrieved right before he passed.
He had been to the graveyard to visit that unfilial child who had thrown his own family away for a woman. At the time, he had reprimanded him loudly for dying and for leaving a white-haired old man to send his children away.
Back then, he had been stubborn and felt that he could survive losing a useless son like Long Xuan.
However, he never expected that the Long family¡¯s lineage would end up in such a pitiful state. Today, they could only rely on Long Xuan¡¯s only child, Bai Jingrou, to further the Long family¡¯s bloodline.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Grandfather Long?¡± Fang Xinxin noticed that he was upset.
Long Jingyuan returned from his thoughts and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I merely recalled something unhappy from the past.¡±
¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Please cheer up. I hope you won¡¯t be too upset about it anymore.¡± Fang Xinxinforted him.
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m no longer upset about it.¡± In truth, Long Jingyuan had regretted this matter a long time ago.
If he had the opportunity to go back in time, no matter how upset he was, he would never have chased Long Xuan out of his home.
So what if he was a useless son? At the end of the day, wasn¡¯t he still his son?
He once posted a deration in the newspaper in an attempt to look for Long Xuan. He had hoped he would return to the Long family after seeing it.
Chapter 686 - The Old Man Cannot Meet Long Yifan
Chapter 686: The Old Man Cannot Meet Long Yifan
Unfortunately, the past was set in stone.
In the end, it was Jingrou who delivered the news of Long Xuan¡¯s death, as well as the grey hair he left behind when he had been alive.
They quickly arrived in front of Long Yifan¡¯s hospital room.
Bai Jingrou was always prepared for unexpected circumstances. This time, however, she was filled with regret.
If she had known that causing Bai Chongshan to fall ill would not only fail to stop Bai Qinghao¡¯s wedding, but also draw Long Jingyuan into meeting Father Fang, she would never have taken this risk!
However, the people she was dealing with were all extraordinarily intelligent.
Based on Long Jingyuan¡¯s character, the more she interfered with this, the more insistent he would be about meeting Long Yifan.
Thus, Bai Jingrou did not dare to say a single word to persuade him not to visit Father Fang.
Right now, what options did she have to stop the two of them from meeting?
Suddenly Bai Jingrou held her stomach. Herplexion was pale and she muttered. ¡°Aiyo¡¡±
Long Jingyuan turned to her in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jingrou?¡±
¡°Grandfather, my stomach really hurts¡¡± She appeared to be in a lot of pain, and it did not seem as though she was acting.
No matter how much Long Jingyuan disliked his only grandchild, he would still worry for her. ¡°Grandfather will bring you to a doctor immediately¡¡±
Bai Jingrou had intentionally done this to draw him away. Still, she insisted. ¡°But, you were just about to visit Fang Xinxin¡¯s father¡¡±
¡°There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Long Jingyuan shook his head. ¡°Your health is more important.¡±
Bai Jingrou lowered her head as her eyes glinted with viciousness and satisfaction. A momentter, she had a helpless smile on. ¡°Both my mother and my adopted brother aren¡¯t around. I can only trouble you, Grandfather.¡±
Long Jingyuan seemed to have understood. Besides Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu, the Bai family would not care if Bai Jingrou was dead or alive. He immediately became angry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Jingrou, you still have your grandfather!¡±
¡°Grandfather¡¡± Bai Jingrou leaned her head against Long Jingyuan¡¯s shoulder. He supported her towards the doctor¡¯s office.
Long Jingyuan took a few steps before he turned back to speak to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ll visit your father another time.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head.
She took in Bai Jingrou¡¯s feeble back view and had a feeling that Bai Jingrou did not wish for Long Jingyuan to meet her father.
A hint of a suspicion rose in Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart.
A momentter, she received a message from Bai Jingrou: [Don¡¯t assume that you can grow close to my grandfather just by addressing him as ¡®Grandfather Long¡¯. Let me tell you, Fang Xinxin, no matter how much you tter my grandfather, you¡¯ll never be able to obtain any benefits from the Long Group!]
If Fang Xinxin had been anyone else, she most definitely would have chosen to avoid Long Jingyuan after reading this message to avoid causing herself troubles.
Fang Xinxin had suffered too much in the past and never knew who exactly schemed against her. She could only vaguely guess that it had been Bai Jingrou.
Thus, she enjoyed going against Bai Jingrou. The more Bai Jingrou tried to keep her away from Long Jingyuan, the more she would do the exact opposite!
Fang Xinxin stayed in her father¡¯s hospital room for a while before she headed to the thirty-eighth floor to inquire about Bai Jingrou¡¯s condition.
She wanted to know if Bai Jingrou had been pretending to be ill earlier.
The doctor had diagnosed Bai Jingrou with acute abdominal pain and said it was likely she had eaten something wrong. He had prescribed her some medicine and told her to rest at home.
It turns out she was not pretending to be ill. Could it be that Fang Xinxin was thinking too much?
After this matter, Long Jingyuan brought Bai Jingrou to the Long family¡¯s vi to rest.
Jingrouid on the enormous bed in the main bedroom while Long Jingyuan stood by her bedside. He took in the sight of his granddaughter¡¯s paleplexion and spoke in heartache. ¡°Jingrou, ah. You have to take good care of your health. You are the only family member that Grandfather has right now.¡±
Chapter 687 - Borrowing Xins Hair To Become Longs Lady
Chapter 687: Borrowing Xin¡¯s Hair To Be Long¡¯s Lady
¡°Grandfather, I will!¡± Bai Jingrou suddenly broke into tears. She cried as though her heart was aching badly. ¡°Grandfather, I, I¡¯m so happy that you care so much for me!¡±
Long Jingyuan sat down by the bedside to embrace her. ¡°Silly child, what are you crying for?¡±
¡°Grandfather, won¡¯t you stay away from Fang Xinxin?¡± Bai Jingrou spoke in grievance. ¡°You don¡¯t know this. Although I¡¯m the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter, all of them treat me as though I¡¯m an outsider. You¡¯re my only family right now. I don¡¯t want Fang Xinxin to steal away your love for me too.¡±
She appeared to be like a child who was jealous.
Long Jingyuan rubbed her head lovingly. ¡°Silly child. It¡¯s true that Fang Xinxin and I hit it off well. However, you are my actual granddaughter. I¡¯ll always dote on you the most. I understand the difference very well.¡±
¡®But you aren¡¯t promising to stay away from Fang Xinxin.¡¯ Although Bai Jingrou thought this way internally, she understood that she could not go too far. ¡°En, alright then.¡±
¡°Our Long Group has over a hundred years of history. You are the great Long Group¡¯s only sessor. You don¡¯t need the Bai family on your side.¡± Long Jingyuan said, ¡°In the future, the Long family is your actual home. Come by and stay here often.¡±
¡°Grandfather!¡± Bai Jingrou was in tears as she appeared deeply moved. In truth, however, she hated this old thing to the core.
Their rtionship had been acknowledged for quite some time, but this old thing never brought her to the Long home to stay before this. As a result, she felt rather humiliated having to remain in the Bai family. Thankfully, this old man was finally giving in.
Living in the Bai family gave her the opportunities she needed to approach Bai Qinghao. She would not give up on it.
In the future, she would upy both ces.
Long Jingyuan watched as his only granddaughter cried. Logically speaking, his heart ought to ache deeply for her. However, he wasn¡¯t sure why but something felt amiss.
¡°Grandfather, do you know?¡± Bai Jingrou brought up some things that were mentioned previously in the Bai family. ¡°Back when my father was alive, he told me that you loved collecting antiques, and that you were especially fond of a particr antique sword from the Han Dynasty. He even said that you owned a jade ring that belonged to the Qing Dynasty¡¯s Empress Dowager. He said that you only wore that ring once every month. He also said that you disliked eating onions and fish¡¡±
She sobbed in tears. ¡°Back when my father was alive, he remembered all of your likes and dislikes clearly. However, he regretted it deeply that he was never able to express his filial piety towards you. In the future, I will definitely help my father in taking good care of you.¡±
¡°Good, good.¡± After hearing these words, Long Jingyuan was reminded of his third son, Long Xuan. He was soon in tears as well.
He instructed his granddaughter to rest early before he left the room.
The moment he left, the tears on Bai Jingrou¡¯s face stopped flowing. A hint of hatred shed past her eyes.
She had temporarily gained control of this damned old man.
However, he was someone who kept his word. Since he mentioned that he would visit Fang Xinxin¡¯s father, Long Yifan, another day, he would definitely do so.
The two of them were father and son.
Indeed, Long Yifan was the third son Long Jingyuan had chased out of the Long home that year.
The Long Group was powerful and had a hundred years of history. Yet, more than twenty years ago, the Long Family¡¯s third son dered his intentions to marry into amon woman¡¯s family to be their son-inw.
At the time, Long Jingyuan was in his forties and had absolute control over his family. He also prioritised his face greatly.
Long Xuan had been seriously beaten up by the elder, yet he refused to change his mind.
Long Xuan had been given two options. First, to remain in the Long Family and to break up with the woman he loved, and second, to leave the Long family in order to remain with the woman he loved.
He chose thetter.
Afterwards, Long Xuan changed his name and became Long Yifan.
Chapter 688 - Xin Found Blood On Shaohuas Bed
Chapter 688: Xin Found Blood On Shaohua¡¯s Bed
Bai Jingrou had learned about all of this from her birth father.
Back then, her father had been the Long family¡¯s servant. To think that her real father had been a servant!
Bai Jingrou had absolutely no way of epting her disgraceful birth. Thankfully, that father of hers had some conscience. He had never once disturbed thefortable lives of Bai Jingrou and Bai Chenxi in the Bai family.
Moreover, he told her something important: Long Yifan was the third son of the Long family.
She saw that Long Yifan had been in aa for many years, and that it was unlikely for him to regain consciousness.
Thus, she bribed a nurse to bring her a few strands of Long Yifan¡¯s hair. She also bribed the Fang family¡¯s servants to help her obtain Fang Xinxin¡¯s hair. She then pretended that those were hers.
With those things in her hands, she was able to visit the Long Group and had a DNA test done.
With the DNA results, she easily became Long Jingyuan¡¯s blood-rted granddaughter.
At the moment, the most important matter was to stop Long Jingyan from seeing Long Yifan.
She needed to drag this for as long as possible. If her schemes fell apart nheless, she would have to send the old thing to his grave.
¡
At the same moment, Chauffeur Tong Yu was driving an extravagant Aston Martin to send Fang Xinxin to the Fang family¡¯s vi.
This ce was over twenty years old. It was the gift Long Yifan had given Xinxin when she turned one years old.
Although the property wasn¡¯t designed like recent, modern homes, the quality of the home as well as the gardens were all rather good.
As there wasn¡¯t anyone living in the Fang home at the moment, there was only a bodyguard at home most times. The rest of the chores in the home were done by part-time helpers who came by during the day.
Fang Xinxin turned on the lights in the living room and took in the extravagantly furnished home.
Her father was in aa, while her mother had passed away. Her brother wasn¡¯t living in this ce either.
It seems like the Fang family had truly scattered.
She could not help but think of her childhood days, back when their entire family lived happily together.
She passed by the living room and approached a storeroom. She pushed the door open and took in the sight of the ce which she had inhabited for nearly eight years. Besides having a smaller window, it appeared just like any other room.
She nced inside.
Although it had been nearly two years, she could still clearly recall when they had dug her mother¡¯s body out from the ground.
However, she was not frightened in the slightest.
Although she had been reborn, she had never met a ghost and felt that these things did not exist.
Even if they did, considering how much her mother had loved her, she would definitely be protecting her from heaven.
As for Fang Liyin, that murderer who had been shot to death, even if she became a ghost, Fang Xinxin would have her own methods to ruin her!
¡°Mom, your daughter will be getting married tomorrow.¡± She murmured to herself. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that both you and Father won¡¯t be able to send me out.¡±
Her heart felt a little bitter.
She closed the storeroom door softly.
She then headed up to the third floor. Previously, her aunt, Fang Liyin, had forced her to leave in the storeroom.
Afterwards, in an attempt to please Bai Qinghao, Fang Liyin sent her to a room on the second floor.
In fact, initially, her room had been the second innermost room on the third floor while the innermost room belonged to her brother, Fang Shaohua.
Ever since they regained the Fang home, the rooms were restored to their original appearance.
Every so often, when the two of them came back to stay, they would always use their original rooms on the third floor.
She saw that Fang Shaohua¡¯s room door was slightly ajar and unlocked. She frowned and stepped into the room. She immediately noticed the messy bed. The sheets had clearly been tugged open.
Furthermore, the bed actually had a¡ a bloodstain that seemed to have dried up over a few days.
Based on the position of the stain, it was likely that¡ someone¡¯s first time had been taken here.
Someone patted her shoulder from the back. She immediately jumped in fright and spun around to see that it was Bai Qinghao. ¡°Why are you here? Who is watching Grandfather?¡±
Chapter 689 - Night Before Wedding
Chapter 689: Night Before Wedding
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with love for her. ¡°I was worried about you so I came over. My parents are at the hospital.¡±
¡°But you¡¯ll have to leave from the Yu Ting Vi tomorrow to receive me.¡±
He gently caressed her hair and watched her lovingly. ¡°I¡¯ll rush to the Yu Ting Vi tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll spend the night with you here first.¡±
This was the ce where Fang Ln¡¯s body had been found. He was really worried about leaving her alone here.
¡°En.¡± She nodded lightly.
His gaze shifted onto the blood-stained sheets. He appeared deep in thought. ¡°If I recall correctly, this is Fang Shaohua¡¯s room.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. My brotheres by to stay here every once in a while.¡± Fang Xinxin took in his stern and cold expression. If he suspected something between Fang Shaohua and her, the wedding would have to be cancelled!
It seems like¡ cough, would it be better to think of a solution right now?
He remained silent.
So she asked coldly. ¡°What do you think about it?¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡± He lifted his inky ck brows.
She pointed towards the blood-stained bed.
He pped her butt lightly and looked at her seriously. ¡°I won¡¯t suspect you. It seems like you¡¯ll have a sister-inw soon.¡± It was clear that the blood-stain had been there for several days.
She was pleased with his response. She pressed her face against his chest. ¡°As long as you trust me.¡±
¡°Silly.¡± He patted her back lightly as he spoke heavily and lovingly. ¡°You are my wife. As your husband, it¡¯s a given that I trust you.¡±
She brought her phone out and gave Bodyguard Liu a call. ¡°Sir Liu, hello. I wanted to ask if my brother brought a woman home several days ago?¡±
¡°It was around a week ago. Mr. Fang Shaohua returned to his room first. At around midnight, Miss Sun Jiamu came to visit him. They left one after another the next morning.¡± Sir Liu¡¯s voice could be heard from the other end.
Fang Xinxin ended the call and said happily, ¡°It¡¯s really Jiamu. I really hope she will be my sister-inw!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to pay so much attention to his love life.¡± Bai Qinghao held her shoulders and nudged her out of the room. Post that, they headed next door into her room.
¡°En.¡± She yawned.
She checked her phone and saw that it was nearly 2:00 a.m..
He knew that she was very tired.
Thus, they were only intimate once.
The two of them fell into deep sleep.
The next morning, Bai Qinghao woke up around 7:00 in the morning. He saw that Fang Xinxin was still asleep.
Her eyebrows appeared long and curled, and her appearance was stunning.
He pressed a firm kiss against her lips and whispered. ¡°I¡¯ll head back to the Yu Ting Vi now. I¡¯ll be back soon to pick you up. You can sleep for a little longer.¡±
She nodded in a daze.
He quietly put on his clothes and left.
At around 8:00 in the morning, Fang Xinxin was woken up by the knocks against her door. She yawned and stretched before getting out of bed.
After getting dressed, she opened the door to see that the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s butler, Zhao Cheng, was apanied by two young women. ¡°Madam, we have brought the wedding dress you previously chose with Young Master. These are the make-up artist and stylist¡ Please have your breakfast now. They will then help you get ready after that. This way, we will be just in time for when the Young Masteres to pick you up.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Fang Xinxin drank the bird¡¯s nest soup which Butler Zhao Cheng had prepared. She then changed into her wedding dress in the room on the second floor.
Chapter 690 - Beautiful Bride
Chapter 690: Beautiful Bride
She allowed the stylist and make-up artist to work on her as they pleased.
All the preparations were finallyplete.
A row of extravagant wedding cars drove into the Fang family¡¯s yard at the same time. Every car was decorated with flower petals arranged into the shape of a heart. The mirrors were also decorated with red ribbons.
Bai Qinghao stepped into the living room dressed in a dark blue suit. His front pocket was adorned with a silk red flower.
Twenty bodyguards made for an imposing sight as they waited outside in two neat rows.
¡°Where¡¯s Xinxin?¡± Bai Qinghao asked the man.
¡°Madam is upstairs.¡± Butler Zhao responded respectfully.
Bai Qinghao checked the clock on the wall and did not rush her.
Around fifteen minutester, Fang Xinxin made her way down the stairs dressed in a wedding gown.
The wedding gown was white with a fluffy skirt. A thin wedding veil concealed it ever so slightly and made for an especially stunning sight.
The v-shaped cor was adorned with a whitece sewn with flowers. Delicate roses were embroidered across her shoulders and arms. The wedding dress was wrapped around her slender waist and shifted with her every movement. Apanied with her stunning looks, she seemed to be the purest angel. Her graceful, stunning beauty was undeniable!
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was filled with awe. Although he knew that his wife was an outstandingly beautiful woman, he was still greatly surprised by her today.
Fang Shaohua, who hade earlier, was seated on the sofa. When he saw Xinxin ascending the stairs, he immediately stood up. His handsome features also clearly conveyed his awe!
Xinxin was so beautiful in a wedding gown!
Her innocence apanied with her noble aura made her appearance an eye-catching sight. It was nearly impossible to take their eyes off her.
A hint of dejection shed past Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes. It was a pity. The woman he loved the most was getting married, but he was not the groom.
Bai Qinghao nced at Fang Shaohua¡¯s heartbroken appearance. He reminded the guy coldly. ¡°Xinxin is fated to be only mine!¡±
Fang Shaohua silently clenched his fist and felt the urge to explode.
But Bai Qinghao was not afraid. At most, he would have his subordinates tie Fang Shaohua up. No one was allowed to disturb his wedding today!
Of course, if he did so, Xinxin would definitely be upset.
It would be best if Fang Shaohua knew his limits.
Bai Qinghao stepped forward to receive Fang Xinxin. He stretched his arms out sincerely. ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯re so beautiful today!¡±
Fang Xinxin sized him up. He was dressed in a deep blue suit fit for a noble. He had paired it with a white dress shirt and a deep blue tie. The material was of high quality and it entuated his good upbringing. This caused his originally tall and broad-shouldered figure to appear even more charming!
Furthermore, his gaze was cold and his expression was stern. His distant aura added onto his charisma and left her with the urge to shriek.
¡°You¡¯re very handsome today as well!¡± She smiled. To think that an outstanding man like this was her groom. This must be the luck she had earned from her past ten lives.
The two of them headed down the stairs into the living room. She nced at Fang Shaohua in surprise. ¡°Brother, didn¡¯t I say it would have been alright to head straight to the wedding venue? Why did youe here?¡±
Fang Shaohua was also dressed in a formal suit. He could not help the ache rising in his heart as he smiled with a somewhat paleplexion. ¡°My sister is getting married today. It¡¯s only right that I¡¯m here to send you off.¡±
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She really wished she could throw herself into his arms.
However, Bai Qinghao tended to get jealous too easily. It was better not to.
Her gaze turned misty as she responded heavily. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±
Chapter 691 - Start Of The Wedding Ceremony
Chapter 691: Start Of The Wedding Ceremony
She was extremely grateful that he was representing their parents to send her out.
More importantly, she was thankful that he never once exposed his feelings for her. He always prioritised her well being above all else.
¡°Young Master, Madam. The guests have arrived at the wedding in the Yu Ting Vi. It¡¯s time to head over.¡± Butler Zhao reminded them from the side.
Bai Qinghao nodded lightly. He held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand and guided her towards the frontmost car.
A row of luxury cars slowly drove out of the Fang family home. They upied several kilometres of road and made for an imposing sight. Nearly the entire country was watching their celebration.
The cars then drove into the Yu Ting Vi. Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand to get out of the car. They walked across a long red carpet and were surrounded by reporters whose cameras clicked endlessly.
There was a white, romantic backdrop, an entry way made of fresh flowers and an extravagantly decorated path. A massive, heart-shaped hot air balloon floated in the azure sky. It was decorated with pink ribbons covered in swarovskis. The swarovskis sparkled dazzlingly against the sunshine. Further up ahead, the main wedding venue was covered in pink rose petals.
The entire venue was stunningly beautiful and iparable!
All the guests present today were capable individuals from all walks of life. Bai Qinghao¡¯s father, Bai Hong, was greeting the guests himself.
Grandfather Bai remained unconscious and Ye Yunzhi had stayed behind in the hospital to care for him.
Huang Zhishu had gone all out to dress elegantly this morning. She stood with her son, Bai Chenxi, amidst the guests and greeted them as though she was one of the hosts.
It was a pity that nearly all the guests, who were present, understood that the two of them did not upy much position in the Bai family. Their attitudes towards them remained lukewarm.
Bai Jingrou, on the other hand, had taken great care to dress up. She wore a light yellow off-shoulder gown. Her hair was tied in a bun and her make-up was carefully and delicately applied. She made for a pleasing sight.
As she was the Long Group¡¯s Director¡¯s granddaughter, a lot of men had surrounded her in hopes of gaining her favour. It could be seen that she was favoured by a small but influential circle of people.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s car had also arrived at the Yu Ting vi. He stepped into the ce and took in the extravagantly decorated venue. It was filled to the brim with guests. He was immeasurably dejected.
Indeed, Bai Qinghao was more capable of giving Xinxin the happiness she deserved.
He searched the ce for Sun Jiamu¡¯s figure but did not find her.
The enormous wedding stage was around half a metre tall. It was lined with a red carpet and the backdrop was decorated with fresh flowers. Yuan Qi, the host of the wedding, began speaking. ¡°Some of the most talented and wealthiest people have gathered here today,ing from all spheres of life. I represent the groom and the bride to wee everyone¡¡±
He went on and on to tter the guests as well as the couple. After some time, he said, ¡°Next, let us invite our groom and bride toe on stage to exchange their rings!¡±
Bai Qinghao, who was dressed in a well-pressed suit, went up the stage first. He stood by the host¡¯s side and faced the audience.
His perfect, charming features and noble charisma immediately caused all the women present to swoon. ¡°The groom is so handsome!¡±
As music began to y, Fang Xinxin held Fang Shaohua¡¯s arm while she made her way down the long path. She arrived at the centre of the square stage ahead.
¡°Wow, the bride is too beautiful!¡± Another wave of praises began.
Fang Shaohua represented Fang Xinxin¡¯s father. He received the microphone from the host and spoke to Bai Qinghao. ¡°As Fang Xinxin¡¯s brother, I am personally handing my sister over to you today. I hope that you¡¯ll spend the rest of your life loving and caring for her well. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Only god knew that, for him to hand over the woman he had always loved to another man, was as painful as having to slit his own wrist.
Chapter 692 - You May Kiss The Bride!
Chapter 692: You May Kiss The Bride!
However, as long as she was happy¡ even if he had to die from heartbreak, he would not mind it.
The guests fell silent. Bai Qinghao was known as the King of Hell to them.
Although Fang Shaohua was Fang Xinxin¡¯s adopted brother, wasn¡¯t he afraid that he was throwing his life away by threatening the King of Hell?
But Bai Qinghao was getting married today and was in an extremely good mood. He smiled lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Xinxin is my life!¡±
¡°Wow! CEO Bai has always maintained a cold attitude towards women. To think that he would make such a promise! I¡¯m so moved. It¡¯s too romantic!¡± One of the female guests cried out in envy.
Many other guests found themselves agreeing with her.
¡°Next, let¡¯s invite the groom and bride to exchange rings!¡± The host spoke excitedly.
The wedding was being live-streamed by several television stations. In front of countless cameras and pairs of eyes, Bai Qinghao knelt down on one leg. His expression was loving as he ced an enormous diamond ring on Fang Xinxin¡¯s finger.
¡°What a big wedding ring. It has to be at least eight carats!¡± The guests began to express their envy once more.
Fang Xinxin put a ring on his finger as well.
¡°The groom may kiss the bride!¡± The host sounded especially excited.
Bai Qinghao stood back up on the stage. He lowered his head and pressed a deep kiss against Fang Xinxin¡¯s pink lips. Countless cameramen clicked their shutters to record this memorable moment.
The audience sitting before their television sets at home watched as the country¡¯s idol, Bai Qinghao, kissed his bride. The cameras zoomed in to show their loving gaze. Every expression was captured and Bai Qinghao¡¯s deep love for Fang Xinxin was fully conveyed through the lens.
Most of the people watching could not help but tear up.
Sun Jiamu stood in a hidden corner to see the happy couple. She offered them a sincere blessing in her heart.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s performance from earlier had surprised her. She did not expect that he would personally hand Xinxin over to Bai Qinghao.
Bai Jingrou held a ss of red wine and stood before a basket of roses. As she watched the couple on stage, her carefully made-up face had turned pale from anger.
It seemed like if she applied any more force, the winess in her hand would shatter.
Bai Chenxi was once again deeply stunned by Fang Xinxin¡¯s outstanding beauty.
Long ago, he had greatly despised Fang Xinxin. Right now, however, he could not help but feel the urge to marry Fang Xinxin. He dearly wished that he was the groom!
¡°Look at you, being gloomy all by yourself. You¡¯re even gritting your teeth in hatred.¡± Bai Chenxi approached Bai Jingrou¡¯s side and whispered. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you doing anything to stop the wedding?¡±
¡°Do you think I don¡¯t wish to?¡± Bai Jingrou scanned the environment. ¡°Didn¡¯t you realise? There are highly-skilled snipers hidden all over the ce. If anyone dares to cause trouble at this wedding, they¡¯ll immediately be shot dead.¡±
¡°Send someone out to die then.¡± Bai Chenxi harrumphed loudly. ¡°I refuse to believe that the wedding will still go on even if someone is killed.¡±
¡°It really will.¡± Bai Jingrou responded unhappily. ¡°Don¡¯t you see all the armed bodyguards standing around. Some of them have even snuck among the guests. Even if someone dies, they¡¯ll immediately be dragged away without leaving a mark. Bai Qinghao has already instructed them. Even if someone dies, the wedding is to carry on as per normal.¡±
¡°It means that Bai Qinghao is already irrevocably in love with Fang Xinxin.¡± Bai Chenxi narrowed his eyes. ¡°Once we gain control of Fang Xinxin, we will have control of Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes glinted viciously. ¡°It¡¯s nearly impossible to gain control of Bai Qinghao otherwise. However, once the wedding ends, I¡¯ll have my own method to drag Fang Xinxin off the position of Madam Bai!¡±
¡°Cheers!¡± Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou whispered quietly among themselves.
When they saw someone approaching, they immediately knocked their sses together gently and pretended as though they were having a normal conversation.
Chapter 693 - Looking For His Girl
Chapter 693: Looking For His Girl
Fang Shaohua had already stepped off the stage. As he watched the happily married couple, a hint of pain shed past his eyes for a moment.
When Bai Jingrou saw this, she appeared confused.
What was there to be upset about his sister getting married? She recalled that he did not share any blood rtions with Fang Xinxin. Suddenly she took another look at his expression¡
Jingrou immediately understood. Fang Shaohua had feelings for Fang Xinxin!
This was big news.
Fang Shaohua only lost control of his expression for a moment and quickly appeared indifferent again. He stood up and moved through the wedding venue to search for Sun Jiamu¡¯s figure.
Bai Jingrou swayed the wine ss in her hand and watched as the red liquid swirled around.
She narrowed her seemingly innocent and refined eyes and began nning. Since Fang Shaohua had feelings for Fang Xinxin, there was no way that he would not do anything.
Knowing one¡¯s enemy was the first step to victory.
She had naturally investigated Fang Xinxin¡¯s adopted brother, Fang Shaohua.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s career was prospering. His newly opened Hua Feng Finance Company was a new but strongpetitor in the finance world.
He currently lived in the Hong Sheng District and had a girlfriend named Sun Jiamu. Although the two of them did not publicly dere their rtionship, they often lived together and were most likely a couple.
It was likely that Sun Jiamu did not know that her boyfriend had feelings for Fang Xinxin, right?
Jingrou recalled that a middle-aged part-time helper was in charge of taking care of Fang Shaohua¡¯s home. If she recalled correctly, the person was named Gao Ru.
It was a good idea to target Gao Ru. Perhaps that helper would know of something?
Fang Shaohua made several rounds through the venue but did not locate Sun Jiamu. He then approached Butler Zhao Cheng, who was in the midst of greeting guests. ¡°Is Miss Sun here?¡±
¡°Are you referring to Madam¡¯s friend?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Zhao Cheng pointed towards the main vi building. ¡°I saw her over there earlier.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± Fang Shaohua immediately headed in that direction.
Sun Jiamu was standing behind a tree. When she saw Fang Shaohua approaching her, she immediately moved to avoid his gaze.
Although she missed him dearly, she did not wish to see him!
She watched Fang Shaohua pass by the trees and assumed that he had missed her. She was just about to sigh in relief.
But to her shock, Fang Shaohua spun around. He quickly made his way before her. ¡°Jiamu!¡±
Sun Jiamu jumped in fright. Her expression was slightly awkward. ¡°CEO Fang, do you need something?¡±
Fang Shaohua sized her up. She was dressed in a pink, bridesmaid gown. The well-fitted gown entuated her stunning beauty. She had paired it with a pair of gold, sparkling wedges. Her hair was tied up in a top-bun and her make-upplimented her almond shaped face.
She appeared especially noble, beautiful and charming!
A hint of awe shed past his eyes. He never expected that Jiamu, who tended to dress poorly, would be this beautiful.
Sun Jiamu did not miss the awe in his gaze. She did not expect him to take a second look at her and could not help but feel a little bitter.
Fang Shaohua heard the way she addressed him and immediately frowned.
Normally, she only addressed him as ¡®CEO Fang¡¯ at work. Outside of work, she always addressed him by his full name, or by ¡®Shaohua¡¯.
He scanned the crowd nearby and grabbed her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have something to say to you!¡±
¡°What more do we have to say to each other?¡± Sun Jiamu wanted to shake his hand off. However, his grip only tightened. It was impossible for her to escape.
¡°If you would like to cause amotion, go ahead and struggle.¡± His expression was indifferent.
Sun Jiamu saw that there were several guests watching them. She did not wish to cause trouble at Xinxin¡¯s wedding and could only obediently follow him.
Chapter 694 - Civil Affairs Bureau
Chapter 694: Civil Affairs Bureau
Fang Shaohua brought her to the back of the building. There weren¡¯t many people around. He finally released her wrist. ¡°Jiamu, with regards to that night, I¡¯m really sorry!¡±
Sun Jiamu¡¯s skin was very soft. His grip easily left a red mark on her wrist. However, she did not pay attention to it. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Forget it. Didn¡¯t I say to treat it as though nothing happened?¡±
¡°But that was your first time¡¡± He could not pretend as though nothing had happened.
¡°So what?¡± She pursed her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that, just because I slept with you, you¡¯ll marry me?¡±
Fang Shaohua took in her beautiful little face. He suddenly spoke with aplex gaze. ¡°That¡¯s not impossible.¡±
This time, she was the one who was surprised. Her heart skipped a beat. ¡°You¡¡±
Could it be that she did upy some space in his heart?
His response however, immediately ruined her anticipation. ¡°As a man, it is only right for me to take responsibility.¡±
Although he also owed Xinxin some responsibility, she was already married.
Marrying Bai Qinghao would indeed make her happier than if she married him.
Besides, Xinxin also mentioned once that she would never be able to stop worrying until the day he had his own family.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart was filled with bitterness.
Fang Shaohua only spoke of responsibility. He did not have any feelings for her.
This was not the marriage she desired.
However, she realised a miserable fact: As long as he would have her, she was willing to marry him.
This was because she could not help but think that one day, Fang Shaohua would eventually fall for her!
Sun Jiamu suppressed the misery in her heart. She smiled beautifully. ¡°Do you mean it?¡±
Her smile was stunningly beautiful and Fang Shaohua suddenly struggled to look away from her. ¡°A gentleman would never go back on his words.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, then.¡± This time, Sun Jiamu took the initiative to hold his hand.
Fang Shaohua followed behind her to ask. ¡°Where are we going?¡±
He was held by her small, soft hand and felt a warm feeling enveloping his heart.
¡°To the Civil Affairs Bureau.¡± Sun Jiamu said, ¡°We¡¯re not required here any longer. Let¡¯s go. No one will notice anything amiss.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Fang Shaohua hesitated.
He was not fully prepared for marriage.
Sun Jiamu naturally understood his thoughts. They were written all over his face. She put on a stern expression. ¡°I don¡¯t care. You have two options. If you are a man, you wille with me to register our marriage right now. If you wish to run away from your responsibilities, that¡¯s fine as well. We will not see each other for the rest of our lives then.¡±
Fang Shaohua recalled the past few days. Sun Jiamu had gonepletely missing from his life. She definitely had the ability to keep to her word.
To not see her again for the rest of their lives, he found that¡ he somewhat could not ept this.
¡°Of course I¡¯m a man. That night at the Fang home¡ didn¡¯t youe to understand that very well?¡± He leaned close to her ear to whisper.
Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. She understood that he was choosing the first option.
The two of them held hands and climbed into Fang Shaohua¡¯s car to leave the Yu Ting Vi.
After stepping off the stage, Fang Xinxin left to change into a Chinese-style red gown. The top half of the gown hugged her figure tightly while the bottom half flowed loosely. She had apanied it with a pair of red shoes. Her outfit appeared especially exquisite.
A gown like this was suitable for her to walk around and greet the guests. All this while, Bai Qinghao¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. She was truly stunningly beautiful no matter what she wore.
In between greeting the guests, Fang Xinxin had paid attention to Fang Shaohua¡¯s movements.
When she saw him leaving hand-in-hand with Sun Jiamu, she smiled sincerely.

Bai Qinghao noticed her smile. ¡°What¡¯s making you so happy?¡±
¡°My brother is finally with Jiamu. I no longer have to worry about them,¡± she responded with a smile.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and forcefully tugged her close. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to worry about your brother!¡±
¡°You know that you¡¯re the only person in my heart. Don¡¯t be jealous.¡± She did not wish to attract the guests attention and lowered her voice. ¡°Aside from romantic love, a person should also have some familial love and friendships.¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re only allowed to have me!¡± He was unbelievably demanding, but she did not mind it. In any case, she had been siblings with Fang Shaohua and best friends with Jiamu for so long.
He had never done anything to interfere in these rtionships.
This meant that he agreed in his own way for her to treasure her family and friends.
She nced at him lovingly. ¡°There¡¯s only you. Are you happy now?¡±
¡°You¡¯re that reluctant?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted his ink-ck brows. However, he could not help his lips from twitching into a smile.
Today, the entire world finally learned that he had married Xinxin!
¡°CEO Bai, why don¡¯t I see Elder Bai around?¡± A guest came by to ask.
¡°He is feeling unwell and is resting at the moment.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless.
¡°I see. Could I go visit Elder Bai?¡± The guest had good intentions.
¡°There¡¯s no need. Enjoy the celebration.¡±
¡°Sure, sure.¡± That guest did not dare to say more. He returned to mingling with the other guests.
Several guests had already inquired about Elder Bai but all the Bai family members responded the same way.
Some of the guests were looking at their phones. One of them coincidentally found the following headline:
[Elder Bai is stricken with illness, but Fang Xinxin insisted on holding the wedding, regardless of his life and death. She is frightened that she wouldn¡¯t make it into a wealthy family otherwise!]
The news was apanied with a photo of Elder Bai being brought into Jia Ya Hospital.
Initially, very few guests saw this article. Gradually, however, everyone present heard about it and began searching for the article.
As several media outlets were live-streaming the wedding venue, this news began trending.
[It can¡¯t be. The elder in their family is on the verge of death, yet they have the mood to hold a wedding? Fang Xinxin must be terrified that she will lose this opportunity to marry into a wealthy family!]
[Hasn¡¯t Elder Bai always been very healthy? It must be because Fang Xinxin bought those haunted apartments and affected the Bai family¡¯s luck. That¡¯s why Elder Bai¡¯s health copsed instantly.]
[I bet Fang Xinxin must have gone insane from living with her mother¡¯s corpse. She¡¯s crazy. She bought ten haunted apartments at a go!]
The discussion online grew louder by the second.
Soon, everyone was searching for the article that had reported on the haunted apartments purchased by Fang Xinxin.
Although the article had been taken down a long time ago, quite some people had reposted it. Those reposts quickly began trending.
Everyone¡¯s gaze turned strange as they watched Fang Xinxin. Some of them even began to whisper among themselves. ¡°Could Elder Bai be already¡¡±
Some of the guests were frightened to hear these discussions. ¡°Shh¡ don¡¯t talk nonsense in the Bai family¡¯s territory.¡±
Bai Jingrou sat obediently among the guests, watching everyone¡¯s reaction. A hint of viciousness shed past her eyes.
Even if she failed to stop the wedding, she would not allow Fang Xinxin to have a good time on her wedding day!
Just as everyone began to specte if Elder Bai had already passed on, a business car drove into the venue. Elder Bai, who was dressed impably in a suit, was supported by Ye Yunzhi as he alighted the car.
He stepped into the wedding venue majestically.
All the reporters immediately raised their cameras to snap photos of the moment.. The guests present were also taken aback.
Chapter 696 - Washing Off The Rumours
Chapter 696: Washing Off The Rumours
Even the busybodies who were watching the live-stream online felt their jaws falling at the sight of Elder Bai.
At this moment, the rumours of Fang Xinxin insisting on holding the wedding regardless of Elder Bai¡¯s health immediately ended.
Bai Hong rushed to receive him. ¡°Father, why are you here?¡±
¡°My only grandson and granddaughter-inw are getting married. Of course I should be here.¡± Bai Chongshan nodded towards the guests and smiled. ¡°I read the news online as well. My old body causes trouble all the time. I must have made everyone worry. It was one of my greatest wishes for my grandson, Bai Qinghao, to marry Fang Xinxin and for me to attend their wedding.¡±
¡°In that case, what is your ultimate greatest wish?¡± A reporter asked.
¡°Is there a need to even ask?¡± Bai Chongshan stroked his grey beard. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s to hold my great-grandson.¡±
His humour caused the guests tough.
¡°Granddaughter-inw,e over here.¡± Bai Chongshan waved at Fang Xinxin.
She approached him and obediently greeted him. ¡°Grandfather.¡± She was really thankful that the elder had woken up and even made his way here to attend the wedding.
Bai Chongshan put on a stern expression and said, ¡°Exin to everyone. Why did you buy the haunted apartments in Mian Lan North District? Theizens these days are more ridiculous than ever. They actually dared to say that my only granddaughter-inw purchased those apartments to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck. Even idiots wouldn¡¯t do such a thing to shoot themselves in the foot, much less my granddaughter-inw, who is a talented student from Jing Hua University and the world famous designer, Alice.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled in response. ¡°Everyone, this matter is rather simple. Although I study fashion design, Alice¡¯s work studio does not only focus on design work. We also ept architectural design work. A while ago, Gu Group, one of the biggest propertypanies in the city centre approached my work studio in hopes of obtaining my assistance for an Urban Renewal Project in Mian Lan North District. I was asked to assist them with redesigning the apartment buildings there. In other words, Mian Lan North District will most likely transform in the uing days. Therefore, I decided to take on this gamble and invested in ten, low-priced apartments there. They aren¡¯t all haunted apartments. Four of them are haunted, while the other six were simply being sold cheaply. If the government decides to demolish these apartments and relocate the inhabitants, it would not matter if they were haunted because they would be rebuilt anyway. I¡¯ll also be able to make a lot of profit. On the other hand, if I end up losing this gamble, it doesn¡¯t matter. I don¡¯t mind losing the money.¡±
When the guests present heard this, they immediately headed to the Gu Group¡¯s official website to check their recent projects. One of the guests spoke up. ¡°Madam Bai, you¡¯ve won the gamble. Gu Group has just released a formal announcement that Mian Lan North District will be fully demolished and all its inhabitants will be relocated while the buildings will be rebuilt. The apartments you bought cheaply will definitely spike in price. You¡¯ll make a lot of profit.¡±
¡°That is why.¡± Elder Bai spoke up. ¡°My granddaughter-inw was only making an intelligent investment decision. Please stop spreading the rumours of her trying to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck.¡±
¡°Madam Bai is really too insightful!¡± One of the guests said admiringly.
¡°I wonder who was so low? She was just making an investment yet they insisted on saying she was trying to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck. I bet the people who wrote the article are the ones who are trying to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck!¡± Someone chimed in and all the guests immediately expressed their agreement.
Bai Jingrou gripped her wine ss tightly, nearly causing it to shatter.
She had set up countless schemes, yet Fang Xinxin actually did not be the sinner who was ruining the Bai family¡¯s luck and had caused Elder Bai¡¯s death.
More upsettingly, wasn¡¯t Elder Bai in a critical condition? How did he manage to wake up and attend the wedding!
After causing amotion like this at the wedding, even the rumours of Fang Xinxin trying to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck were thoroughly washed off!
Chapter 697 - Putting A Stop To The Rumours
Chapter 697: Putting A Stop To The Rumours
In fact, the Elder¡¯s illness was also one of Bai Jingrou¡¯s schemes.
The Elder had the habit of lighting an incense before he slept. Thus, she hypnotised Deng Cui, the maid who was in charge of cleaning the Elder¡¯s room, into tampering with the incense. The fragrance of the tampered incense was meant to cause the Elder to suffer a heart attack.
Bai Jingrou suddenly realised that she hadn¡¯t seen Deng Cui around in the mansion today. Could it be that she had already been found?
But that didn¡¯t matter. Even if Deng Cui confessed to her crimes, she would not be able to state Bai Jingrou¡¯s involvement in this matter.
At this moment, the Long Group¡¯s Director, Long Jingyuan, approached them with a walking stick in his hands. He spoke up with a voice that had gone slightly hoarse with his age. ¡°Xinxin, ah. Grandfather Long is a littlete.¡±
Fang Xinxin rushed to support him. ¡°Grandfather Long, it¡¯s alright. As long as you¡¯re here.¡±
A reporter noticed Fang Xinxin taking the initiative to support Long Jingyuan. He rushed to take photos of the scene.
¡°I should havee earlier.¡± Long Jingyuan sighed. ¡°I wasn¡¯t feeling too well so I took some time to rest before leaving. My body is old and unreliable now!¡±
¡°Grandfather Long, you will definitely live till a hundred.¡± She wasn¡¯t sure why, but she found that she had a soft spot for the elderly before her.
Bai Jingrou rushed to stand up from the guest sitting area. She pushed Fang Xinxin away from Long Jingyuan¡¯s side and reced her to support Elder Long. ¡°Grandfather, you¡¯re here. Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were feeling unwell?¡±
Long Jingyuan noticed Bai Jingrou¡¯s movements. However, he assumed that she was feeling jealous and did not say anything about it. ¡°I¡¯m much better after resting for a while.¡±
Fang Xinxin was unaffected by this. She turned to leave.
At this moment, Long Jingyuan brought out an envelope and handed it to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, ah. This is the wedding gift Grandfather Long has prepared for you.¡±
Fang Xinxin received it with some confusion. The envelope seemed to contain a document?
Bai Jingrou had a sense of foreboding. Still, she maintained a smile to ask. ¡°Grandfather, what did you prepare for Fang¡ for Cousin-inw? It seems so mysterious wrapped in an envelope.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve never seen a wedding gift wrapped in a document envelope.¡± The other guests were also curious.
¡°It¡¯s ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares,¡± Long Jingyuan responded.
Following his words, all the guests were in an uproar.
The reporters also rushed to capture this scene.
Bai Jingrou turned as pale as a sheet of paper. She questioned him with some anger. ¡°Grandfather, I am your granddaughter. How could you give the shares away to an outsider!¡±
Fang Xinxin was also taken aback. At the moment, the Long Group had a worth of ten billion dors. Ten percent of their shares was equivalent to a billion dors. Why was Director Long giving her such a heavy gift!
Even Bai Qinghao, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi were extremely surprised.
A reporter asked him. ¡°Miss Bai Jingrou is right. Ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares is worth up to a billion dors. Director Long, do you have any reasons for doing so?¡±
Long Jingyuan responded. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sure you must know that I do not have any male heirs. Before finding Jingrou, the Long family only had an old man like me left. As the Long Group did not have any heirs, I even once considered donating the Long family¡¯s inheritance to a charity organisation after I died. Although I¡¯ve now found my granddaughter, Jingrou, money is no longer an important matter to me. I feel very close to Fang Xinxin. When I¡¯m with her, I always feel like I¡¯m with my family. I already have one foot in the grave. Since I felt the urge to give her the shares, I decided to go ahead and simply do it.¡±
Chapter 698 - Gifting The Long Group Shares
Chapter 698: Gifting The Long Group Shares
¡°Grandfather, have you thought about my feelings?¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes had reddened. She was able to tolerate all matters. However, this involved a loss of a billion dors.
Furthermore, though she was his granddaughter, she had only ever received two million dors of pocket money from him. She did not own the slightest bit of his shares!
¡°Your feelings?¡± Long Jingyuan turned to her in confusion.
He spoke with some unhappiness. ¡°Jingrou, didn¡¯t you say that you didn¡¯t verify our familial rtionship for the sake of the Long Group¡¯s inheritance? Besides, though our Long family has over a hundred years of history, we¡¯re but one of the affluent families in this country. The business foundation and achievements that the Long Group has today were all things I personally fought for. I have the right to decide what should be done with the Long family¡¯s assets. What is this? Are you revealing your true colours just because I gave ten percent of our shares away?¡±
¡°Grandfather, that wasn¡¯t what I meant. I just¡¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s tears rolled down her cheeks. ¡°I was just jealous. You¡¯re treating an outsider even better than you treat your own granddaughter.¡±
¡°Enough of that.¡± Long Jingyuan also softened his attitude. ¡°In any case, you are the Long family¡¯s only sessor.¡± Strangely, he did not wish to hand his inheritance over to Bai Jingrou.
Fang Xinxin read the document and saw that it was actually ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares.
She ced the document back in the envelope and handed it back to Long Jingyuan. ¡°Grandfather Long, I have received your sincere blessing, but I cannot bring myself to ept such a grand gift.¡±
¡°This old man brought this for you. ept it!¡± Long Jingyuan insisted. ¡°Besides, you already received it. There¡¯s no such thing as returning a wedding gift!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced thoughtfully at Bai Jingrou, who was clearly struggling to ept this. She then nodded lightly.
Based on her recollections of her past life, Long Jingyuan would soon pass away.
Currently, it seemed like he would rather hand his stocks over to an outsider like her than to give it to Bai Jingrou. This meant that Long Jingyuan was not especially fond of this granddaughter.
It was a good idea to ept the stocks. After all, Bai Jingrou was a woman with impure intentions.
In this lifetime, she would not allow Long Jingyuan to die.
Considering the favour Elder Long had given her today, if Bai Jingrou truly cheated all his money away one day, she would return this ten percent of shares to him. At the very least, it would be enough for him to enjoy afortable retirement.
Bai Jingrou watched as Fang Xinxin shamelessly epted the shares worth a billion dors. Her face nearly turned green from anger.
That was her money!
Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu were simrly trembling in anger. Jingrou¡¯s things were akin to theirs! Losing it felt as painful as losing a portion of their flesh!
¡°Madam Bai, Elder Long was but being polite with you. Where did you find the face to ept his shares?¡± Huang Zhishu could not contain her anger as she spoke up for her daughter.
Before Fang Xinxin could respond, Long Jingyuan raised his voice. ¡°You¡¯re only Jingrou¡¯s adopted mother. Who gave you the right to interfere with my Long Group¡¯s matters? What is it? You haven¡¯t taken enough of the Bai family¡¯s money? Are you also greedy for my Long family¡¯s money?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Huang Zhishu immediately turned pale. ¡°Director Long, that wasn¡¯t what I meant.¡±
¡°If it wasn¡¯t what you meant, then keep your mouth shut.¡± Long Jingyuan shot her a warning look.
Bai Jingrou was full of grievance, but she did not dare to speak again. She only said, ¡°I¡¯m feeling unwell. Please excuse me.¡± Saying so, she quickly ran out of the wedding venue.
No one paid attention to Bai Jingrou.
Fang Xinxin stood before the reporters to dere. ¡°Everyone, the Long Group is a powerful corporation with a hundred years of history. It¡¯s inevitable that they¡¯ll be targeted by greedy individuals. I, Fang Xinxin, will make a promise today to temporarily ept the shares Director Long has given me. In the future, if he ever has the need, all he has to is to ask and I will return everything I own back to him.¡±
Chapter 699 - Gone Crazy
Chapter 699: Gone Crazy
Madam Bai herself had dered this before the media on her wedding day. This meant she had absolutely no way of going back on her words.
One day, if Director Long truly sought her out and she went back on her words and refused to return him the shares, she would suffer a serious loss of her face.
Furthermore, at the moment, it seemed like there were people with impure intentions in the Long family. Based on her words, she was doing a good deed by protecting some of the shares on his behalf.
This time, no one felt that Fang Xinxin was being greedy.
After all, if someone insisted on gifting you a billion dors, only fools would say no.
When Long Jingyuan heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. He had spent his lifetime navigating through the business world and had developed a good eye for character.
Fang Xinxin was not a greedy girl. She would absolutely stick to her words. It was his own granddaughter, Bai Jingrou, who always seemed to be hiding her true side.
Still, he would never take back a gift he had given.
[Fang Xinxin is beyond blessed, ah. What did they mean by ¡®ruining the Bai family¡¯s luck¡¯? She received a billion dors at one go. I bet the Bai family¡¯s luck is actually improving!]
[Dear gods above, why won¡¯t Director Long see me like a family? Don¡¯t mention a billion dors. Even a million dors would be great!]
[She received a billion dors and is even set to make profits through the ten haunted apartments she purchased. Even if she leaves the Bai family now, Fang Xinxin will remain absolutely wealthy¡]
The audience watching the live-stream was in an uproar. They were more agitated than they would have been if they received the money themselves.
Bai Chenxi was also heavily angered. He immediately wanted to leave the wedding venue, but was held back by Huang Zhishu. ¡°Son, you cannot leave?¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Huang Zhishu whispered to him. ¡°We¡¯ve lost a billion dors just like that. I¡¯m even angrier than you are. But your sister has already left from here. If we leave with her, outsiders will assume that even the two of us are greedy for the Long Group¡¯s money.¡±
Bai Chenxi unhappily sat back down on his seat. The table before him was covered in expensive and luxurious dishes. However, he did not have the slightest bit of appetite.
He shifted his seemingly charming gaze onto Fang Xinxin and took in her stunning beauty and perfect figure. If he had known she would amass this much wealth one day, he would definitely have epted Fang Xinxin¡¯s confession back then!
He gripped his fists tightly. He truly regretted it very much!
Bai Qinghao, on the other hand, did not have much feelings about the shares Fang Xinxin received.
With his own wealth and status, a billion dors wasn¡¯t that big of a sum to him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart ached for his wife. He urged her to return to the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main building to rest first while he stayed behind to continue entertaining the guests.
The Bai family¡¯s iconic wedding was receiving a lot of viewership through the live-streams. The news of Fang Xinxin receiving ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares further caused the inte to explode.
In Jing Xin Residence located behind the Bai family¡¯s main vi, Bai Jingrou smashed a teacup the moment she entered the living room. She then kicked the table over and smashed several of the decorative vases¡
Smashing noises filled the air.
The living room quickly turned into a mess.
Quite some timeter, Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu were dumbstruck by the sight that greeted them upon their return.
¡°Daughter, you¡¯ve gone mad!¡± Huang Zhishu reprimanded her.
¡°I am mad. Long Jingyuan, that damned old man. He insists that I don¡¯t have enough experience and refuses to let me work at the Long Group, yet he handed a billion dors over to Fang Xinxin, that whore!¡± Bai Jingrou was angered to the point where her refined facade was ruined.
Huang Zhishu held her in heartache. ¡°My daughter, don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry. The Long Group is worth ten billion dors. Although we¡¯ve lost a billion dors, don¡¯t we still have nine billion dors? That enormous sum is all yours.¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was vicious. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Long Jingyuan remains standing in my way. His body is still very strong. If he refuses to die, I don¡¯t know if he might one day go crazy and decide to gift the entire Long Group to Fang Xinxin instead.¡±
Chapter 700 - Showing Her Ability
Chapter 700: Showing Her Ability
¡°That is why he needs to die.¡± Bai Chenxi was the one who spoke up.
He could not help but exim. ¡°The power of blood rtions sure is amazing. Sister, you¡¯ve relied on your abilities and your schemes to please the Old Long yet he remains wary of you. Fang Xinxin didn¡¯t seem to have done anything, yet with the way Elder Long looks at her, it¡¯s as though he knows she is his family. Even outsiders must be wondering if Fang Xinxin is his actual granddaughter.¡±
¡°Why aren¡¯t they wondering if Fang Xinxin is his kept mistress?¡± Bai Jingrou responded hatefully. ¡°If unpleasant rumours begin to spread, we¡¯ll nder Fang Xinxin in this way.¡±
¡°How could you possibly nder her?¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. ¡°Carelessly cing crimes over her head won¡¯t do you any good, unless we¡¯re able to find some proper evidence. Besides, Elder Long has grieved for his wife for years. He doesn¡¯t have any inappropriate thoughts whatsoever towards anyone. Considering his age, he most likely doesn¡¯t even have the ability to do so anymore. Furthermore, no matter how wealthy the Long family is, it¡¯s still second to the Bai family. Fang Xinxin has just be Madam Bai. I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be any media outlet that dares to write such headlines.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. I just lost my mind due to anger. A false usation won¡¯t cause any harm to Fang Xinxin.¡± A hint of hatred shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s eyes. ¡°As of now, the only way for me to be the Long Group¡¯s sessor is for Long Jingyuan to die. Only then will I gain possession of the entire Long Group.¡±
Huang Zhishu stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t carry out any ns for now. The man has just gifted Fang Xinxin those stocks. If something happens to him, others might suspect that you did it because you were unhappy with him.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Bai Jingrou nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll have to scheme slowly to make sure that damned old man passes away slowly without realising anything¡¡±
At this moment, Fang Xinxin had already left the wedding venue. She stepped into the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s main building and rested on the couch.
A helper guided Long Jingyuan into the living room. ¡°Director Long, this way please.¡±
¡°Grandfather Long¡¡± Fang Xinxin saw him and immediately stood up. She waved the helpers away. ¡°Leave us for now.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± All the helpers left the living room.
Long Jingyuan watched her and immediately understood. ¡°Xinxin, do you wish to speak to Grandfather Long alone? I¡¯m going to speak first. If it¡¯s about those ten percent shares, I definitely won¡¯t take it back.¡±
¡°No, I¡¯ll protect the shares on your behalf.¡± Fang Xinxin supported him to sit on the couch. She then personally poured him a cup of tea.
Long Jingyuan held the teacup for a sip. ¡°It¡¯s a premium grade of Bi Luo Chun. What a good tea!¡±
¡°Grandfather Long¡¡± Fang Xinxin hesitated.
He spoke up, ¡°Little girl, what is it? Go ahead and speak frankly.¡±
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll go straight to the point.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°Grandfather Long, there¡¯s only very little time before you will pass away. At that time, Bai Jingrou, the only sessor of the Long family, will dere to the world that you died from a heart attack.¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Long Jingyuan mmed his walking stick against the ground. ¡°I don¡¯t have any heart diseases.¡±
¡°In other words, someone is targeting your life.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared certain of this.
¡°You¡¯re speaking of matters that have yet to happen. Xinxin, how do you know this?¡± Long Jingyuan saw that she appeared very certain of what would happen. He struggled to contain his disbelief.
Fang Xinxin sat down on the couch across from him. Her gaze turned cold as she stared at the coffee table. Very quickly, the fruits, the teapot, the fruit knife and the napkins on the table¡ began floating.
When Long Jingyuan saw this, his wrinkled face fully conveyed his shock. ¡°You¡¡±
Chapter 701 - Her Sincerity
Chapter 701: Her Sincerity
Her gaze returned to normal as all the things floated back to their original positions. She said in a light tone, ¡°I have special powers and am able to move objects without touching them. I also have some other abilities. Every so often, I am able to predict the future. Although it happens rarely, if certain images of the futuree to my mind, they are bound to happen.¡±
In fact, she did not have the ability to predict the future. She had simply lived a lifetime and knew of the things that happened back then.
However, she did not wish to tell anyone about that. Thus, she chose a different method that would achieve the same results.
¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Long Jingyuan was very agitated.
Fang Xinxin poured herself a cup of tea and sipped on it lightly. ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve heard of the Qiao Yang Finance Group that was started just two years ago, right?¡±
¡°Of course. Almost everything that their branchpanies invest in, makes great profit. The owner of the corporation works as if they have the ability to predict the future. It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t know who they are¡¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. ¡°Xinxin, little girl, you¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m Qiao Yang Group¡¯s hidden director. Thanks to Bai Qinghao¡¯s protection, no one has been able to figure out my identity.¡± Fang Xinxin said, ¡°Around two years ago, someone won thirteen million dors from purchasing the lottery. I was the winner back then. I relied on my ability to purchase the lottery tickets that would win the grand prize. That sum also became the funds I needed to start my ownpany. The reason for my aplishments today and the sess of mypany is all because of the asional glimpses into the future. It has nothing to do with Bai Qinghao.¡±
Long Jingyuan now fully believed in Fang Xinxin. ¡°When will I pass away then?¡±
¡°It should be two months from now.¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her brows in thought. ¡°I only saw the news article reporting on your death. The news article may have been released a littleter.¡±
Long Jingyuan¡¯s gaze turned heavy. ¡°Xinxin, do you know what happened to the Long Group after my death?¡±
¡°It was inherited by Bai Jingrou.¡±
¡°I mostly understand the entire matter now.¡± Long Jingyuan suddenly smiled coldly. As of today, he had be an obstruction in Bai Jingrou¡¯s way. His only granddaughter could only inherit the Long Group with his death.
Family was in no wayparable to the value of an enormous corporation like the Long Group.
Fang Xinxin approached his side and patted his shoulder lightly. ¡°Grandfather Long, please don¡¯t be too upset. I told you about these things because I don¡¯t wish for you to die. Your Long family has very capable bodyguards. I initially thought of sending someone to protect you secretly. However, it would be time-consuming for them to infiltrate into the Long family and could also cause you to be suspicious. Based on your intelligence, I felt that perhaps it would be better to tell you the truth directly. I trust that given your experience in the business world, if you learn of what there is to be wary of, you¡¯ll definitely be able to protect yourself well. Not everyone in this world prioritises money. At the very least, because you treat me very well, I¡¯m willing to spend money to ensure your safety.¡±
Of course, hiring some bodyguards to protect him wouldn¡¯t cost that much money.
Long Jingyuan was deeply touched as he held her hand. He appeared especially old at this moment. ¡°Xinxin ah, how I wish you were my granddaughter.¡±
He wasn¡¯t sure why, but he could keenly sense the sincerity in her words. He did not doubt her in the slightest.
He could even sense that she genuinely hoped for him to live a long life. Her intention was not the slightest bit hypocritical, unlike that of Bai Jingrou¡¯s. Although she was his granddaughter, he always felt ufortable when it came to her.
Chapter 702 - Pay With Her Life
Chapter 702: Pay With Her Life
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Grandfather Long, you can consider me as your granddaughter. I don¡¯t have a grandfather anyway.¡±
¡°What happened to him?¡± Long Jingyuan asked.
¡°Ever since I was born, I¡¯ve never met my grandparents. My parents have also never mentioned them to me. I remember asking my father about them, but he always appeared very heartbroken at the mention of them. He said that he is an unfilial child and that he holds a lot of guilt towards them. He told me he once visited them secretly a few times, just from afar. However, his brother was afraid that he would snatch his inheritance and chased him away.¡± Fang Xinxin shrugged. ¡°I¡¯ve also asked my adopted brother, Fang Shaohua, about this. He is also clueless about it. I¡¯m an adult now, but I have no idea if my grandparents are still alive in this world.¡±
This time, it was Long Jingyuan who patted her handfortingly. ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t be upset. I believe that no matter if your grandparents are alive or not, they would hope for you to be healthy and safe.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to have thought of something. ¡°Grandfather Long, I forgot to mention this but Bai Jingrou knows hypnosis. Her ability works on anyone who doesn¡¯t have a strong will and she is able tomand them to carry out her orders.¡±
¡°There¡¯s such a thing?¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded.
She frowned. ¡°Although Bai Jingrou is your granddaughter, her intentions are impure. A while ago, the elders from the Bai family each gave me a red packet with a cheque for six million dors as a greeting gift. Before I had the chance to open the red packets, Bai Jingrou actually attempted to hypnotise me and tried to rece the red packets with her own red packets that only contained twenty dors. Unfortunately, in the process of recing the red packets, Bai Chenxi reminded her in time and she quickly stopped her attempt. This matter was personally witnessed by the Bai family¡¯s old butler, Bai Mingde.¡±
Long Jingyuan responded. ¡°I understand Bai Mingde¡¯s character very well. He would definitely report this matter truthfully to Bai Chongshan.¡±
¡°It should have been that way.¡± Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and showed him the video she had recorded. ¡°Bai Jingrou attempted to bribe Bai Mingde but was unsessful. She then hypnotised him. In the end, Uncle De followed her instructions and reported to Elder Bai that she was simply returning the red packets which I had dropped, out of good intentions. This is the process of her hypnosis.¡±
After watching the video, Long Jingyuan frowned heavily. ¡°What a frightening skill! Are there any ways of oveing it?¡±
Fang Xinxin deliberated over it. ¡°Her hypnosis won¡¯t always work. I think that with your strong willpower, Bai Jingrou will never be able to hypnotise you. Otherwise, she would already have entered the Long Group and gained control of thepany. Would there be a need for her to be this angry over ten percent of thepany¡¯s shares?¡±
¡°That makes sense.¡± Long Jingyuan nodded.
¡°When she uses her ability, she needs the other party to look in the eye. If she does that to you, you can focus on thoughts and strengthen your willpower to reduce the likelihood of falling under her control. At times, perhaps pretending to have fallen under her control, would also be a good scheme to y?¡±
¡°Thank you for your reminder.¡± Long Jingyuan asked in curiosity. ¡°If you have recorded evidence of her hypnosis, why didn¡¯t you publicise it?¡±
¡°She stopped her crime midway. As long as she attempts to argue her way of this, the Bai family won¡¯t be able to punish her much.¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish for Bai Jingrou to receive a soft punishment. What she desired was for Bai Jingrou to pay with her life one day!
Long Jingyuan immediately understood. ¡°Xinxin, has there been a serious conflict between the two of you?¡±
Her miscarriage, loss of sight, paralysis¡
Chapter 703 - Keep It A Secret
Chapter 703: Keep It A Secret
In her previous life, she had failed to find the person whonded her in that pitiful state.
All the clues pointed towards Bai Jingrou. Did that count as a conflict?
In this life, if she still remained helpless, all the misery she had previously experienced would repeat.
Thus, she could only endure right now.
She intended on returning Bai Jingrou the same pain which she had given her. She did not wish to depend upon anyone else. She would rely on her own abilities to kill Bai Jingrou!
Long Jingyuan was after all Bai Jingrou¡¯s blood-rted grandfather. Even when he heard that Bai Jingrou was after his life, he did not seem to wish to eliminate her.
After all, they were family.
Thus, Fang Xinxin smiled lightly. It was not suitable for her to say more about this. ¡°Grandfather Long, I promise you I will never harm an innocent person. I¡¯m only telling you this much because I hope for you to remain alive. I hope that you will consider my good intentions and keep my abilities, as well as the conversation we had today, a secret.¡±
She was keeping her own abilities hidden so as to eventually use them against Bai Jingrou¡¯s hypnosis.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Grandfather Long won¡¯t tell anyone.¡± Long Jingyuan guaranteed.
¡°Grandfather Long, you have to remain healthy and well.¡±
¡°I, Long Jingyuan, am not weak. Since I¡¯m now on my guard, no one will be able to harm me.¡± Long Jingyuan stood up. ¡°A lot of the guests present today are my old friends. I¡¯ll go greet them.¡±
She nodded lightly.
A momentter, Bai Qinghao stepped into the living room. He sat down by her side. ¡°What did you and Director Long talk about?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing much. I just reminded him to be wary of Bai Jingrou.¡± She smiled.
¡°Bai Jingrou is indeed the type of woman who would even target her own family for money,¡± Bai Qinghaomented expressionlessly.
Fang Xinxin nced at him in surprise. ¡°You understand her so well?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just relying on my intuition.¡± Bai Qinghao lifted her into a princess carry and headed to the main bedroom on the third floor.
Upon reaching the room, he ced her down on the bed.
He sat by the bedside and took in her stunning appearance. He murmured lovingly. ¡°Xinxin, finally, the entire world knows that you¡¯re my wife!¡±
The next day, Fang Xinxin only awoke in the afternoon. She opened her eyes to see Bai Qinghaoying by her side.
He watched her fixatedly and lovingly. From his gaze, it was as though he could have enough of her. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±
She nced at the clock on the wall. ¡°It¡¯s afternoon. Why did you remain in bed with me till this time?¡±
¡°It¡¯s the day after our wedding. It¡¯s fine toze in bed today.¡± He embraced her soft and slender body and pressed a deep kiss against her lips. ¡°I couldn¡¯t bear to leave you and this bed.¡±
¡°Haha.¡± She was overjoyed at his words. She lifted her hands and rubbed his cold cheeks. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to leave you either.¡±
¡°The butler will send someone up with foodter. Let¡¯s not leave the room today.¡±
¡°Really?¡± She lifted her brows. ¡°What are we going to do here?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
In the end, they really had their meals in the room. Afterwards, they enjoyed afortable hot bath before returning to bed.
Fang Xinxin checked her phone and saw that Sun Jiamu had sent her a photo on WeChat this morning. She tapped on it and saw that it was actually a photo of Sun Jiamu and Fang Shaohua¡¯s marriage certificate!
Xinxin embraced Bai Qinghao in agitation and kissed his cheek with a loud smacking noise.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. ¡°Why are you so happy?¡±
Chapter 704 - A Tough Road Ahead
Chapter 704: A Tough Road Ahead
She waved her phone before him and showed him the photo. ¡°Quickly look. My brother married Sun Jiamu yesterday. This is great news!¡±
A hint of surprise shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze. ¡°It is good news that he is married.¡±
This way, he wouldn¡¯t keep thinking about Xinxin. Bai Qinghao was worried he would end up killing him one day!
¡°Jiamu is a good woman. My brother will definitely be happy with her.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared certain.
Bai Qinghao was expressionless. ¡°What¡¯s so good about her? She will never be able topete with you.¡± He nced at his wife in dissatisfaction. ¡°Why do you appear happier about Fang Shaohua¡¯s marriage than your own?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no such thing.¡± She embraced his shoulder from behind and nibbled on his ear lightly. ¡°Hubby, you can¡¯t possibly be jealous about this, could you?¡±
¡°Who is jealous?¡± He would never admit to it.
He tugged her down and made hery in his arms. ¡°My wife¡¡±
¡°En?¡± She took in his handsome appearance from his arms and found that he had a perfectly outstanding jawline.
Her husband was really too handsome. She was nearly dazed from looking at him!
¡°Are we really married?¡± He lifted hisrge palm and gently caressed her face. ¡°It feels as though I¡¯m dreaming¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s real.¡± She nodded her head with force.
¡°From now on, you¡¯re not allowed to leave me!¡± He dered demandingly. His cold and heavy tone could not conceal his gentleness whatsoever.
¡°En.¡± She nodded obediently.
She sat up and dialled Fang Shaohua¡¯s number.
Her call was quickly picked up. Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice sounded a little gloomy. ¡°Xinxin, you¡ are you well?¡±
¡°Brother, I¡¯m doing very well.¡± Her voice clearly conveyed her joy. ¡°Congrattions on your wedding.¡±
¡°Did Jiamu tell you about it?¡± Fang Shaohua sounded a little indifferent. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. The woman he hoped to marry was Xinxin!
¡°You have to treat Jiamu well¡¡± She told him happily, ¡°Could you ask Jiamu to answer the phone?¡±
¡°I¡¯m on a business trip. We¡¯re not together.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice was dull.
Fang Xinxin frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction. ¡°You just registered your marriage with Jiamu yesterday and you left for a business trip today? Have you considered her feelings?¡±
¡°Thepany has too much to deal with.¡± Fang Shaohua was not interested in continuing this conversation. ¡°I have to head back to work. I¡¯ll end the call for now!¡±
¡°Brother, remember to return home early to apany my sister-inw!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry too much about my matters. All you have to do is be happy.¡± Fang Shaohua ended the call after saying that.
Fang Xinxin frowned. It seemed like there was still a long and difficult path ahead for Fang Shaohua and Sun Jiamu.
Bai Qinghao embraced her in heartache. ¡°It¡¯s not suitable to interfere too much in other people¡¯s rtionship. Let them be. You¡¯re only allowed to focus on me.¡±
¡°You¡¯re so demanding!¡± She red at him coquettishly.
Recently, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were both busy with their own work. They could not make time for a honeymoon.
They quickly returned to their work. However, they also did their best to make time to stick with each other.
Bai Jingrou and Bai Chenxi who were living in the old Bai family¡¯s mansion were already angered to the point where their organs were hurting.
Three dayster, in the afternoon, Fang Xinxin had invitations sent out using the name of the gamingpany under Jiao Yang Finance Group.
Chapter 705 - Entry To The Event
Chapter 705: Entry To The Event
She had invited some of the top yers toe experience their new game, , which would soon be released.
In this game, yers were assigned to groups and ced in arge battlefield holding a gun fight. The winning team would then be rewarded with arge roasted duck drumstick, thus giving the game its name, .
Fang Xinxin had applied for two weeks of marriage leave from Sheng Shi Group. Thus, she was able to work on her own matters while still carrying the title of the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s Design Manager.
At 3:00 in the afternoon, she came to Jiao Yang Gaming Company.
The press conference venue for the new game was on the sixth floor of the building.
The moment Fang Xinxin arrived on the sixth floor, she noticed Bai Jingrou stepping out of the elevator next to hers. She was dressed in a straplessvender gown.
Her hair was tied in a low bun with a few strands loosely framing her face. Considering that her make-up was exquisite and that she had worn a gown suitable for an evening party, it was clear she had taken great care to dress up today.
Bai Chenxi followed right behind her, looking as refined as ever.
¡°Why are you here? Shouldn¡¯t you be working at the Sheng Shi Group right now?¡± Bai Jingrou sized her up in surprise.
¡°I applied for a wedding leave.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s answer was short. She headed forward without pausing any longer.
Bai Jingrou took in her glowing appearance. Fang Xinxin appeared to be in an especially good mood.
In contrast, for the past few days, she¡
Whenever she remembered that Long Jingyuan, that damned old man, had given Fang Xinxin ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares, she felt enraged. She had been angered to the point where she nearly spat out blood.
Bai Chenxi took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning appearance and could barely take his eyes away from her. It had only been a few days and she became even more beautiful. Her aura and charisma had grown even more attractive. Furthermore, she was now the owner of shares worth a billion dors¡ she was a very wealthy woman!
He rushed forward to stop Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, wait. I have something to say to you.¡±
She shifted to the left to walk around him. ¡°I have nothing to say to you.¡±
He moved with her and continued obstructing her path. ¡°It won¡¯t take long.¡±
Fang Xinxin noticed some of the guests watching them. She did not wish to make a fuss and spoke directly. ¡°I¡¯ll only give you a minute.¡±
¡°I let you down in the past.¡± Bai Chenxi took in her dazzling appearance and finally voiced the remorse he had been experiencing for the past two years. ¡°I really regret it. Can we start over again?¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared to have heard an especially humorous joke. ¡°Bai Chenxi, please take a good look at the situation. I¡¯m your cousin-inw! What do you mean by starting over again? Nothing ever began between us.¡±
¡°So what if you¡¯re my cousin-inw? Ever since we were young, you¡¯ve clearly liked me¡¡±
¡°I only pretended to do so for the sake of angering Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Bai Chenxi wanted to continue when she raised her voice. ¡°Get out of my way!¡±
He noticed that the guests passing by, were pausing in their tracks and did not wish for unpleasant rumours to spread.
He changed the topic and asked. ¡°Are you headed to the Jiao Yang Gaming Company¡¯s press release? They are very strict about the entry today. Those without an invitation won¡¯t be able to enter the event.¡±
The sixth floor was reserved for the press release event. Almost everyone was here for this event.
¡°All the guests invited today are famous, well-experienced yers.¡± Bai Chenxi brought an invitation out. ¡°This is my invitation. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡±
¡°But as far as I know, you don¡¯t y games¡¡±
¡°I told you to scram!¡± She frowned and considered calling the bodyguards over.
¡°Brother, let¡¯s head in. Don¡¯t pay her any mind.¡± Bai Jingrou tugged her brother¡¯s hand. The two of them handed their invitations over and sessfully entered the event hall.
Post entering, they waited by the side to see her being embarrassed.
Chapter 706 - Business Proposal
Chapter 706: Business Proposal
Perhaps she had also received an invitation?
However, Fang Xinxin did not have to show anything at the door. She directly entered the event hall.
Bai Jingrou refused to ept this. She questioned the employees who were in-charge of weing the guests. ¡°Does she have an invitation?¡±
¡°No,¡± Fang Xinxin was the one who responded.
¡°In that case, why is she allowed to enter?¡± Bai Jingrou asked unhappily.
The employee responded. ¡°Because she doesn¡¯t need one.¡± This was CEO Fang. The entirepany belonged to her.
Bai Jingrou however, assumed that the employee was giving Fang Xinxin special treatment because she was Madam Bai.
The more she thought about it, the more it left her infuriated.
Thus, she decided to secretly contact someone to ¡¯cause trouble¡¯.
Bai Chenxi was also upset. The Bai family was truly powerful. Just by having the title of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯ on her head, she was able to get anywhere she desired.
The extravagant press release venue was splendidly decorated. Countless colourful balloons floated against the ceiling. Rows of chairs were arranged against the walls. At the centre of the event hall, there was a long, rectangr dining table. Various exquisite fruits and desserts were avable for the guests.
The service staff carried trays of red wine and cocktails as they weaved through the crowd.
Every so often, a guest would pick up a drink for a taste.
At the end of the event hall, there was an elevated square stage around twenty metres square wide.
The moment Bai Jingrou stepped into the venue, she had been seeking her target.
As expected, she found a middle-aged man dressed in a ck suit. She immediately approached him. ¡°Hello. May I know if you are CEO Yi, Yi Jinbin?¡±
¡°I am.¡± Yi Jinbin sized her up in confusion. ¡°You are?¡±
¡°I am ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ Company¡¯s project manager, Bai Jingrou. I¡¯m representing mypany to attend this event.¡± She stretched her hand out. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±
¡°From what I know, ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ is a fashionpany. We haven¡¯t invited anyone from yourpany.¡± Yi Jinbin did not shake her hand.
¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled and said, ¡°Although you haven¡¯t invited us, my brother is a top yer in the game that yourpany runs. He owns two gaming ounts and obtained two invitation cards. Thus, I followed him here.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you, CEO Yi. I am Bai Chenxi. I¡¯m also the person in-charge of Chen Xi Corporation.¡± Bai Chenxi also wanted to shake his hand.
Yi Jinbin would not believe in Bai Jingrou¡¯s words. This was because the siblings did not look like gamers who would invest enough time and effort to be top yers.
On the other hand, it wasn¡¯t difficult to purchase invitation cards from actual top yers who had been invited.
The two of them had likelye for other reasons.
Yi Jinbin went straight to the point. ¡°It seems to me that the both of you are here for other reasons.¡±
Bai Jingrou maintained a graceful smile. ¡°It¡¯s like this. My brother is here to take a look at yourpany. On the other hand, I¡¯m representing ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ Fashion Company to be here. ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ is keen on stepping into the gaming industry. As it has only been two years since yourpany was first set up, we¡¯re interested in acquiring yourpany¡¡±
Yi Jinbin¡¯s expression was stony as he responded shortly. ¡°I¡¯m not open to a discussion on this issue.¡± The director herself had stated earlier that theirpany was not avable for sale.
¡°CEO Yi, you haven¡¯t listened to our offer¡ mypany is offering a very generous sum.¡±
¡°Miss Bai, from what I know, ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ Fashion Company isn¡¯t making as much profit as our Jiao Yang Company is. What are you guys going to rely on to purchase ourpany?¡± Yi Jinbin¡¯s expression was filled with disdain.
¡°Even if you won¡¯t ept our offer, we can discuss a cooperation deal. ¡®Xing Feng¡¯ Fashion Company is open to bing a shareholder¡¡±
If she sessfully closed this deal or helped theirpany be a shareholder, she would be able to obtain the share of profits that her CEO had promised her.
Chapter 707 - 7: Raising Her Voice For Justice
Chapter 707: Raising Her Voice For Justice
Of course, considering Jiao Yang Gaming Company¡¯s aplishment today, this matter would not be easily achieved.
¡°Our Jiao Yang is notcking in money. It¡¯s impossible for you guys to be a shareholder. If there are no other matters, please excuse me now.¡± Yi Jinbin did not give her any more attention as he left to greet the other guests.
¡°Hey¡¡± Bai Jingrou wanted to continue.
However, the other party had already left to speak to anotherpany¡¯s old CEO. He waspletely uninterested in speaking to her further.
At this moment, a young man could be heard speaking agitatedly to the employees at the entrance. ¡°I am a loyal client of yourpany¡¯s games. Why won¡¯t you let me in?¡±
¡°My apologies. But we cannot allow you into the venue if you do not have an invitation.¡± The employee handled this matter professionally.
¡°I don¡¯t care, I¡¯m going in!¡± The young man forcefully pushed his way in. The employees had no choice but to hold him back and a scuffle immediately followed.
¡°My apologies, Sir. There were over ten thousand experienced yers who were interested in participating in our event. The guests were selected randomly through our system. If everyone is allowed to enter the event without an invitation, this would be extremely unfair to the other guests. I seek your understanding on this. We¡¯re very sorry.¡± The employees kept exining.
¡°You guys are too much. I¡¯m already here, yet you¡¯re still trying to stop me!¡± The young man was extremely angry. In fact, he was not a gamer whatsoever. He had been called here by Bai Jingrou.
When Bai Jingrou saw this, she rushed over to ask. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
The young man spoke in anger. ¡°This cheappany refuses to let me in because I don¡¯t have an invitation!¡±
Bai Jingrou suddenly raised her voice. ¡°Jiao Yang Gaming Company is too discriminatory. They don¡¯t have any morals to speak of. Are they intent on going back on all their promises?¡±
The entire event hall fell silent. The guests turned to her in confusion.
Yi Jinbin rushed over. ¡°Miss Bai, what happened? Why do you say so?¡±
Bai Jingrou pointed at the young man who was being stopped at the door. ¡°Everyone, please take a look at this young man. He is a gamer who is loyal to Jiao Yang Gaming Company, and came to attend this event with good intentions but was stopped outside the door. No matter how he pleaded, they did not give into him. But what about Fang Xinxin?¡±
She then pointed towards Fang Xinxin, who was in the midst of tasting a ss of red wine.
Yi Jinbin rushed to ask her. ¡°How is this rted to her?¡±
¡°I asked Fang Xinxin. She simrly doesn¡¯t have an invitation. You guys im that no one is allowed to enter without one¡ Yet you did not even bother to check before letting her in. At the end of the day, isn¡¯t it because she is Madam Bai?¡± Bai Jingrou criticised loudly. ¡°Is your Jiao Yang Gaming Company this discriminatory?¡±
In any case, Xing Feng Company was not strong enough. It was clearly impossible for them to acquire the Jiao Yang Company. Hence, Bai Jingrou was not afraid of offending them.
After speaking, Bai Jingrou suddenly noticed Bai Qinghao seated in one of the booth seats in the corner of the event hall. His cold gaze was directed at them.
My god, why was Bai Qinghao here?
If she had known he was present, she wouldn¡¯t have spoken that way.
However, she was truly angry. Fang Xinxin had stolen her position as Madam Bai and taken the ten percent of Long Group¡¯s shares that belonged to her. She felt that she would go crazy if she did not humiliate Fang Xinxin in some way!
Some of the reporters raised the cameras to snap photos. ¡°She is Long Group¡¯s onlydy, Bai Jingrou¡ I didn¡¯t expect this to happen. Is she standing up for justice?¡±
¡°The Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter is attacking her cousin-inw. We¡¯re in for a good show.¡±
The young man, who was being kept outside the door, watched this happen.
Chapter 708 - The Hidden Director
Chapter 708: The Hidden Director
He immediately cooperated with Bai Jingrou and continued his performance in anger. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true that I don¡¯t have any power or status. I¡¯m just a loyal customer. Am I in the wrong for being one? I¡¯m not allowed to enter the event because I don¡¯t have any wealth or status to speak of, while Madam Bai is allowed in because she has both. The moral values that the Jiao Yang Company is disying has truly impressed me.¡±
¡°Now that they mention it, it does sound rather discriminatory. They should only allow guests with an invitation in. Everyone else should be denied entry. Otherwise, it¡¯s really unfair¡¡± Many of the guests present began to express their own views.
Bai Jingrou secretly peeked at Bai Qinghao for his response but found that he was expressionless. She wondered what was on his mind.
Even if he wanted to deal with her, she would ept it. In any case, she was only speaking the truth. She felt that if she did not do anything to humiliate Fang Xinxin right now, she would end up spitting out blood.
Yi Jinbin was about to respond when Fang Xinxin approached them. She saw that Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze was filled with mocking. ¡°Miss Bai Jingrou, you ndered Jiao Yang Gaming Company for having no morals and intentionally attacked their reputation. You will have to take legal responsibilities for this matter.¡±
¡°Thispany was discriminatory by letting you into the event. Aren¡¯t we allowed to speak the truth?¡± Bai Jingrou was fearless. ¡°Even if we went to court over this, I wouldn¡¯t lose. On the other hand, many more people will learn of Jiao Yang Gaming Company¡¯s discriminatory attitude!¡±
Although the venue remained quiet, most of the guests were beginning to appear upset. Of course, there were also guests who felt that Bai Jingrou had gone crazy.
Yi Jinbin rushed to exin to everyone. ¡°Please don¡¯t listen to Miss Bai Jingrou¡¯s nonsense. Our Jiao Yang Gaming Company isn¡¯t discriminatory at all. Although Fang Xinxin does not possess an invitation card, she is the host of today¡¯s event and she absolutely has the right to be here.¡±
Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly. ¡°What event host? CEO Yi, why don¡¯t you just say that the Jiao Yang Gamingpany belongs to Fang Xinxin.¡±
¡°It really does belong to Fang Xinxin.¡± Yi Jinbin bowed towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°CEO Fang.¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was filled with disbelief. ¡°Jiao Yang Gaming Company is one of thepanies under the management of the Jiao Yang Finance Group. If thispany belongs to Fang Xinxin, you might as well say that she is the hidden director of Jiao Yang Finance Group.¡±
¡°She is indeed Jiao Yang Finance Group¡¯s hidden director.¡± Yi Jinbin responded seriously. ¡°This identity of hers is absolutely the truth. Otherwise, Jiao Yang Finance Group would immediately expose us. Miss Bai, do you feel surprised? Are you taken aback?¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ that¡¯s impossible¡¡± Bai Jingrou was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Bai Chenxi was also dumbstruck.
Fang Xinxin was actually the director of Jiao Yang Finance Group. She was an extremely big and important figure!
In an instant, he felt as if he had missed tens of billions of dors!
¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to interview the director behind Jiao Yang Finance Group, but she¡¯s never appeared before the public eye. To think that today, Miss Bai Jingrou would force her to reveal herself.¡± A reporter took countless photos of Fang Xinxin. ¡°Director Fang, you¡¯ve aplished a lot despite your young age. May I know if you had to rely on the Bai family in order to do this?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin relied on herself to get to where she is today.¡± At this moment, Bai Qinghao, who was dressed in a suit, approached the crowd with a cold and stern expression. He held a ss of red wine in his hand.
His noble and cold aura immediately drew the respect of everyone present.
Bai Jingrou took in the appearance of the outstanding man she had feelings for. She then lowered her head to mutter. ¡°Cousin, Fang Xinxin is only a student. Where did she find the money to start a business? You must have given her the funds to do this, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Chapter 709 - Backfired
Chapter 709: Backfired
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. ¡°Around two years ago, Fang Xinxin won over thirteen million dors from the grand prize of a lottery event. She relied on that money to begin as a mid-sized enterprise. The Bai family has never assisted the Jiao Yang Finance Group in any way for it to reach its achievements today. In fact, Fang Xinxin actively hid the fact that Jiao Yang Finance Group is apany under her name to ensure that no one would give her privileges considering her rtionship with the Bai family.¡±
¡°Wow!¡± Everyone present was astonished.
¡°It turns out that the winner of the lottery from back then was Fang Xinxin!¡±
¡°Thepanies under Jiao Yang Finance Group have been prosperingtely. The propertypany under them previously purchased a piece ofnd for six hundred million dors. As of now, the value of thatnd has skyrocketed up to six billion dors¡¡±
¡°Jiao Yang Fashion Company as well¡ I heard that their profit goes up to billions of dors.¡±
¡°Everyone says that the Jiao Yang Finance Group¡¯s director is a publicly recognised god of the stock markets. All the stocks she invests in always guarantee good returns¡¡± Countless exmations of admiration could be heard from the crowd.
Yi Jinbin ttered her. ¡°Our director, Fang Xinxin, is the model image of a sessful entrepreneur. As the CEO for the Jiao Yang Gaming Group under the management of the Jiao Yang Finance Group, it is truly my pride and honor to be working under such an outstanding director!¡±
A thunderous apuse immediately followed his deration.
A reporter pushed her microphone towards Bai Jingrou. ¡°Miss Bai, Miss Fang is indeed the owner of this gamingpany as well as the host of this event. You did not bother to understand this properly before you attacked the Jiao Yang Gaming Company for having poor morals. May I know if you are always this unreasonable in handling matters?¡±
Bai Jingrou turned as pale as a sheet of paper. She bit down on her bottom lip. ¡°I¡¡±
She wanted to leave but was stopped by a bodyguard.
The reporter continued asking. ¡°Miss Bai, Xiao Aiting, the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s employee you previously bribed, constantly targets Fang Xinxin for having a status that is ipatible with CEO Bai Qinghao. She also constantly emphasises your status as the Long Group¡¯s onlydy. May I know what your motivations are for doing this? Could it be that you feel that the Jiao Yang Group¡¯s capable Director Fang cannotpete against a flower vase like yourself?¡±
Bai Jingrou was enraged. ¡°Who are you calling a flower vase? Who says I bribed Xiao Aiting?¡±
¡°Xiao Aiting admitted to it herself by posting about it online.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t believe her!¡± Bai Jingrou refused to admit it. ¡°I¡¯ve never bribed her!¡±
¡°But she has records of the bank transfer she received from you. Let¡¯s not talk about that for now.¡± The reporter paid no mind to her insistence.
She continued. ¡°We should always turn to the facts. It¡¯s true that your status as the Long Group¡¯s only sessor is rather impressive. However, you were only lucky to be born into that role. Fang Xinxin, on the other hand, personally fought for the achievements she has today. You made use of your own family background to suppress someone who was honestly working hard. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed of yourself?¡±
Bai Jingrou struggled to maintain her graceful facade. ¡°I have the right to not answer your question.¡±
When Bai Chenxi saw this, he quietly moved to a corner to prevent catching anyone¡¯s attention.
The young man who first stirred up themotion also tried to leave from there. Fang Xinxin shot the bodyguards a look and someone immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Fang Xinxin approached him and asked. ¡°Since you im to be an experienced yer and client of our Jiao Yang Gaming Company, may I know which games you actively participate in? What is your gaming ID?¡±
¡°I¡¡± The man began to stutter.
¡°You can¡¯t answer me, is that it?¡± Fang Xinxin nodded towards a man dressed in a ck suit.
The man spoke up. ¡°I am one of the employees at Jiao Yang Gaming Company. Earlier, I overheard Miss Bai Jingrou making a call from behind a corner. As the conversation was rted to ourpany, I had no choice but to record it.¡±
He then yed a clip.
Chapter 710 - Stay At The Police Station
Chapter 710: Stay At The Police Station
¡°Find someone to cause amotion for me. I¡¯m at the Jiao Yang Gaming Company¡¯s press release event.¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s voice could clearly be heard through the recording.
The young man who had started themotion immediately tried to run away. However, he was easily held by the bodyguards.
Everyone turned to Bai Jingrou in disdain.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the great Long Group¡¯s only granddaughter would do something like this¡¡±
¡°She is clearly the one who iscking in morals. She caused trouble for the Jiao Yang Gaming Company and even came up with false usations.¡±
The discussion among the guests could be heard clearly.
Bai Jingrou turned pale. She smiled apologetically. ¡°Director Fang, I¡¯m so sorry. I made a mistake by ident¡¡±
Fang Xinxin appeared indifferent. ¡°Some matters cannot be resolved with just an apology. You instigated others to cause trouble at mypany. I will hand this matter to thew to give me the justice that I deserve. Please send her and the man who caused trouble to the police station.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The bodyguards immediately dragged Bai Jingrou and the young man away.
Bai Jingrou nced at Bai Qinghao and saw that his expression was frigid cold. It was clear he would not step in to help her.
She did not embarrass herself by attempting to ask for it.
Bai Chenxi had been avoiding the ¡®attention¡¯ and sessfully managed to avoid being implicated.
However, now that his sister had been taken away, he could only rush to leave the venue.
The reason Bai Qinghao did not stand up for Fang Xinxin this time was because she had the ability to be just as outstanding and impressive without his protection.
At times, guarding by her side silently and waiting for the moments she actually needed him was a different feeling altogether.
The emcee stood on the event stage and began the trial experience for the game that was soon to beunched. He invited a lot of the guests up on the stage to have a go at it.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao stood beneath the stage to watch the event. They left nearly two hourster.
Bai Jingrou had sent people to Jiao Yang Gaming Company to cause trouble. However, this matter did not cause actual harm to the Jiao Yang Group. Thus, a few hourster, it was determined that she would only be detained at the police station for three days.
This matter was publicised by the various media outlets online.
Bai Jingrou had the image of a well-educated and refined youngdy. Thus, no one expected her toe up with such schemes in the dark. The public opinion of her instantly plummeted.
Bai Qinghao left to handle some important matters for the Bai family. It had been days since Fang Xinxinst saw Grandfather Bai and she decided it would be a good idea to spend more time with him.
At 5:00 in the evening, Tong Yu drove Fang Xinxin into the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
From afar, she noticed Elder Bai Chongshan looking out from the front yard searchingly.
After the chauffeur parked the car, Fang Xinxin alighted and hurried towards the elder. ¡°Grandfather, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for someone?¡±
Ji Qing, the maid who was behind the elder, spoke up. ¡°Madam, the Elder has been waiting for you here for the past two days.¡±
Elder Bai red at her. ¡°Know your limits.¡±
¡°Understood, Elder.¡± Ji Qing politely retreated behind him.
Bai Chongshan spoke to her happily. ¡°Xinxin ah, little girl. You¡¯re finally here. Grandfather is old now. Your mother-inw and father-inw are both busy and rarely return to the old mansion. Although I understand that both you and Qinghao are busy, Grandfather still wishes to spend more time with you young people. Every extra day I can have with you guys is valuable. Who knows when I¡¯ll leave this world¡¡±
¡°Grandfather, don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± Fang Xinxin held his arm. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely live to be hundred.¡±
The Bai family¡¯s front yard garden was in excellent condition. The grand rock garden was perfectlyplemented with a manmadeke. The small path by thekeside was suitably even and wide. Ever so often, it would weave through the trees. Overall, it made for an extremely grand and luxurious Chinese-style garden!
Chapter 711 - Current Status
Chapter 711: Current Status
They were strolling in the garden when Huang Zhishu hurried over. She urgently said to Elder Bai, ¡°Father, Jingrou is in trouble!¡±
Bai Chongshan raised his eyebrows. ¡°What happened to her?¡±
Huang Zhishu nced at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Jingrou identally offended the Jiao Yang Gaming Company, which is under the management of the Jiao Yang Finance Group that Xinxin owns. Now, she¡¯s being detained in the police station!¡±
A hint of surprise shed past Bai Chongshan¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Jiao Yang Finance Group that has been achieving all sorts of aplishments in the past two years belongs to Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Fang Xinxin was the one who responded.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect my granddaughter-inw to be this capable!¡± Elder Bai was especially pleased and praised her.
He then shot Huang Zhishu with an unhappy look. ¡°Previously, you even hinted to me that Xinxin¡¯s identity isn¡¯t as valuable as Bai Jingrou¡¯s, as the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. I¡¯m sure you didn¡¯t expect Xinxin to be this capable. With the Jiao Yang Finance Group¡¯s current performance, it¡¯s inevitable that it will one day outdo the Long Group.¡±
He suddenly appeared to have thought of something. ¡°I forgot. Xinxin already owns ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares. Right now, Xinxin can already rely on her own ability topete with the Long Group. You say, as an elder, why are you so short-sighted? You insist onparing your adopted daughter with my granddaughter-inw. Your adopted daughter is in no way as outstanding as Xinxin.¡±
Huang Zhishu¡¯s expression was especially poor. It would have been fine if Jingrou was her adopted daughter, but she was actually her birth daughter!
Her birth daughter was being thoroughly insulted by this damned old man but she was helpless against it. ¡°Yes, yes. But no matter what, Jingrou is still the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter! Father, you can¡¯t just leave Jingrou to remain detained in the police station!¡±
¡°What exactly did she do? How long will she be detained for?¡± Elder Bai had no choice but to ask.
¡°She identally offended Xinxin.¡± Huang Zhishu spoke as though to minimize the severity of the matter.
Fang Xinxin frowned. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®identally¡¯? She intentionally caused trouble for me, alright?¡± She then repeated the whole event to the Elder.
Elder Bai¡¯s expression was stern as he reprimanded Huang Zhishu. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Jingrou always known to stay within her boundaries? Xinxin is Madam Bai, yet she still dared to cause trouble at Jiao Yang Gaming Company. In that case, let her remain in the police station for a few days to reflect on her mistakes.¡±
¡°But, Father¡ Jingrou has always been pampered. How would she be able to endure this¡¡± Huang Zhishu was flustered.
¡°Since she made a mistake, she has to take responsibility for it. There¡¯s nothing left for you to say!¡± Elder Bai appeared resolute to stick by his decision.
Huang Zhishu backed away obediently. She nced secretly at Fang Xinxin and a hint of viciousness shed past her eyes.
This cheap whore! It was one matter that she had upied her daughter¡¯s position as Madam Bai. To think that she even caused her outstanding daughter to be detained. She was angered to death!
Fang Xinxin supported Elder Bai back to his room to rest and then sat down in the backyard to water the sunset.
The sun was nearing the horizon and it painted the sky with its colours. The red, orange and green weaved in between each other¡ and thete afternoon sky appeared just like an illusion. It was difficult to take one¡¯s eyes away from this beautiful sight!
Bai Chenxi stood behind Fang Xinxin and watched as the stunning sunset colours amplified her stunning figure. Her beauty was out of this world!
His heart could not help but skip a beat.
This woman¡¯s appearance truly left him astonished.
Bai Chenxi saw that there wasn¡¯t anyone else around. He approached her. ¡°Xinxin.¡±
She nced at him coldly. ¡°Address me as Madam Bai.¡±
¡°Xinxin, we grew up together. We¡¯re childhood friends¡¡±
She could not be bothered with his words and quickly turned to leave. He rushed to stop her. ¡°Listen to me¡¡±
Chapter 712 - Confession
Chapter 712: Confession
¡°Get straight to the point!¡±
¡°I apologise on Jingrou¡¯s behalf. She shouldn¡¯t have caused trouble at yourpany. It¡¯s still a light punishment for her to be detained for three days.¡± Bai Chenxi watched her in infatuation.
At the thought that she was the director behind the wealthy Jiao Yang Finance Group, his heart was filled with all sorts of unpleasant feelings.
If he had epted her feelings back then, Jiao Yang Finance Group would be his today!
He recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s feelings for him in the past and felt certain that she still loved him.
Thus, he summoned up his courage to confess. ¡°Xinxin, I love you!¡±
Fang Xinxin came to a halt. She stared at him in disbelief. Did he take the wrong medicine? Instead of begging for mercy on his sister¡¯s behalf, he was actually confessing to her?
Unbeknown to them, the first thing Bai Qinghao did after finishing his work was to return to the Bai family¡¯s old mansion to inquire about his newly wed wife¡¯s whereabouts.
The helper informed him that she was in the backyard and he soon came searching for her.
When Bai Qinghao saw that Bai Chenxi was also present, he paused behind the rock garden. He wanted to see what tricks Bai Chenxi had to pull.
This foolish thing. He actually dared to confess to his wife. He had to be tired of living!
But then, he recalled the unconceble feelings Fang Xinxin used to hold for Bai Chenxi.
Although he was fully aware of Xinxin¡¯s feelings right now, his cold, frozen heart could not help but be unhappy.
¡°Xinxin, I know that you don¡¯t love Bai Qinghao at all.¡± His gaze was loving. ¡°You only love his power and wealth, don¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Qinghao began to feel anxious.
He was deeply afraid Xinxin would give an answer that would drive him to murder someone.
¡°I already have enough money.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent.
But Bai Chenxi remained firm. ¡°No one wouldin about having too much money. By bing Madam Bai, you¡¯re able to stand at the highest point of this world. Thus, you¡¯re in love with Bai Qinghao¡¯s money! And the man you actually love is me!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly and responded coldly. ¡°Bai Chenxi, I don¡¯t owe you any exnations for my feelings or actions. You¡¯re not good enough! Still, as your cousin-inw, I don¡¯t mind telling you this out of the goodness of my heart. I won¡¯t deny that I do like Bai Qinghao¡¯s money.¡±
Hidden behind the shadows, Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression had turned cold. His body appeared to be covered in a frigid coldyer of frost.
Fang Xinxin sensed the piercing gaze from around the corner and could not help but shiver.
Bai Chenxi lit up with a smile. ¡°I knew it. You¡¯re not sincere towards Bai Qinghao. You¡¡±
¡°Stop!¡± Fang Xinxin cut off his wishful thinking. ¡°Let me ask you this first. Setting aside the enormous wealth Bai Qinghao possesses, don¡¯t you simrly love the Bai family¡¯s money? If you don¡¯t like it, why is your family of three still clinging onto the Bai family?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Bai Chenxi had no way of refuting this.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent as she pointed out. ¡°Everyone loves money. Anyone who ims otherwise is always being untruthful. Why did I work so hard to start my ownpany? To earn money. And what for? It¡¯s so that one day, I¡¯ll be good enough for Bai Qinghao. Bai Qinghao is someone who is standing on the highest peak of this world. I would be lying if I imed I didn¡¯t not like his money. However, I love him even more. Compared to him, his money is of no significance to me. I¡¯ve never desired his money. If Bai Qinghao somehow ends up losing all his wealth one day, I would still love him.¡±
Behind the corner, Bai Qinghao was deeply moved by her words. This was his wife. She was honest, beautiful and genuine.

Chapter 713: Borrowing Money
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°No! You¡¯re clearly in love with me!¡± Bai Chenxi struggled to ept this. ¡°Ever since we were young, it was obvious that you had feelings for me¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s because I was insecure at the time and I believed I wasn¡¯t good enough for Bai Qinghao. I was also manipted by Fang Manxue, that rotten sister of mine, into acting that way.¡± She sized him up. ¡°Bai Chenxi, I¡¯m not trying to criticise you, but from my point of view, you¡¯ll really not even fucking good enough to hold Bai Qinghao¡¯s shoes. How could I possibly take a liking to you?¡±
¡°You!¡± He clenched his fists tightly.
His veins were nearly popping out from anger. He had wanted to coax Fang Xinxin into returning to his side and to convince her to help him deal with Bai Qinghao. However, it seemed like all his ns were falling apart.
¡°What is it? Are you going to hit me?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly.
She had special abilities. It would be more than easy for her to leave him paralysed.
¡°No. Even if I had all the courage in the world, I wouldn¡¯t dare to touch you, Madam Bai.¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s shoulders drooped at the rejection. He scanned their surroundings and suddenly said, ¡°Xinxin, considering that we were close when we were children, will you lend me some money?¡±
¡°How much do you wish to borrow?¡± Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes.
In their past life, Bai Chenxi had borrowed the eight million dors that Bai Qinghao had given her for her pocket money. He never returned the sum to her and just remembering this left her infuriated.
In this life, he would not receive a single cent from her.
¡°Eight¡ eight million dors.¡± Bai Chenxi did not dare to ask for too much. ¡°Eight million dors should be a very small sum for you right now.¡± A hint of pleading shed past his eyes, ¡°The Chen Xi Enterprise I¡¯m running isn¡¯t being managed very well right now and it¡¯s on the verge of copse. Please lend me some money.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not even worth a single cent to me, yet you dare ask for eight million dors. Quit your wishful thinking!¡± She turned to leave.
He wanted to follow after her. However, he had only taken two steps when Liu Li caught hold of his arm.
He turned back to see that Bai Qinghao was only five steps away from him and his aura was frigid cold!
Bai Chenxi¡¯s legs immediately weakened in fear. ¡°C¡ cousin¡¡±
¡°Take him away. Take good ¡®care¡¯ of him.¡± Bai Qinghao waved his hand. Liu Li quickly dragged Bai Chenxi away.
Very quickly, Bai Chenxi¡¯s cries of misery and pain could be heard all throughout the Bai family¡¯s old vi.
The loud shrieks left the servants in the backyard trembling.
Bai Qinghao was in an especially good mood. Bai Chenxi, that pile of shit, used to be the greatest obstruction between Xinxin and him. Right now, however, his beloved wife did not think he was valuable even as trash.
How could he not be happy?
He rushed forward and easily caught up to Fang Xinxin in a few steps. He embraced her soft body from behind and lowered his head to breathe in the scent on her hair. ¡°You smell so good¡¡±
She did not turn around as she leaned back into his embrace. ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave to handle the Bai family¡¯s affairs? Why are you back so quickly?¡±
¡°I missed you.¡± Bai Qinghao pressed a firm kiss against her cheek.
She listened to his cold, heavy voice and felt deeply moved.
In their past life, he had never confessed to her, or expressed that he loved or missed her in any way.
In this life, however, he had learned to say that he loved and missed her.
He had really changed a lot.
She leaned into his arms and lifted her head to look at the setting sun. The sky was dyed a beautiful, dazzling colour. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I wish this moment couldst forever.¡±
Unfortunately, she still had many trials to ovee.
¡°I don¡¯t need an evesting moment.¡± He held her tightly.. ¡°I only hope that, no matter what happens, I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡±
Chapter 714 - Pregnant Or Not?
Chapter 714: Pregnant Or Not?
She nodded emotionally.
Three dayster, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao headed downstairs in the morning to see Elder Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi on the couch.
Doctor Shi Qian was giving the three Bai family¡¯s elders their routine check-up.
¡°Xinxin,e. You should get a check-up too.¡± Bai Chongshan waved her over.
Fang Xinxin felt a little nervous. In her previous life, this was the moment when she found out she was pregnant.
¡°Alright.¡± She sat down on the couch.
Shi Qian first measured her blood pressure. He then used a stethoscope on her¡ After conducting all sorts of basic check-ups, he drew a sample of her blood and said that he would take it back for an examination.
She nodded amiably.
Shi Qian picked up his medicine box to leave when Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°Doctor Shi, Bai Qinghao hasn¡¯t had a check up yet.¡±
¡°CEO Bai had it done previously. He doesn¡¯t need one right now.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Fang Xinxin did not notice anything amiss about this.
Shi Qian brought her blood sample to the hospital. An hourter, he dialled the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
It was Elder Bai who answered the call. He did so in the ¡®speaker¡¯ mode.
¡°Elder, don¡¯t worry. Madam Bai is very healthy.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s voice could be heard clearly through the living room.
Elder Bai nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Everything is good as long as my granddaughter-inw is healthy. This way, she¡¯ll be able to give me my great-grandchildren soon.¡±
In their previous life, Fang Xinxin had clearly be pregnant on this day. She rushed over to ask. ¡°Doctor Shi, may I know if I¡¯m pregnant?¡±
¡°Madam, you¡¯re not pregnant.¡± Shi Qian answered clearly from the other end.
Fang Xinxi frowned. Why wasn¡¯t she pregnant?
Were the results wrong? Or did the trajectory in this life change?
¡°There truly aren¡¯t any problems with my body?¡± Despite the distance, Shi Qian could hear her clearly through the phone.
¡°Madam, you¡¯re especially healthy. If you wish for a child, eventually, it will happen,¡± Shi Qianforted her.
After the call ended, Bai Chongshan spoke seriously to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Qinghao ah, your wedding with Xinxin has been held. From now onwards, you have to stop using contraceptives.¡±
¡°I know what to do.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and heavy.
Fang Xinxin sat silently by the side. Bai Qinghao previously told the elders that they were using contraceptives. Truthfully, however, throughout the two years they lived together in the Yu Ting Vi, they had never used any contraceptives.
Bai Hong spoke up. ¡°Father, there¡¯s no rush in having a child. Qinghao and Xinxin are both young.¡±
These words made the Elder unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m already old. I¡¯m looking forward to holding my great-grandchildren. This matter is fixed. The two of you better conceive soon.¡±
Bai Qinghao nced at Xinxin¡¯s slightly disappointed expression. It seemed like she was upset because she was not pregnant? At the thought that she was willing to have his child, he was overwhelmed with joy.
¡°Father, when ites to children, it all depends on fate. Rushing them won¡¯t help.¡± As Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother, Ye Yunzhi also spoke up for Fang Xinxin.
¡°Alright, alright. I won¡¯t rush them.¡± Although he agreed verbally, he still felt that this matter needed to happen quickly.
Fang Xinxin returned to her room and instructed a servant to purchase a pregnancy test for her. She quietly used it in the bathroom.
Soon, she discovered that she truly wasn¡¯t pregnant! Why wasn¡¯t she pregnant?
Bai Qinghao stepped into the bedroom to see Fang Xinxin standing before the windows with a dejected expression. He spoke up in heartache. ¡°My wife, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Chapter 715 - Xin Cant Lay Eggs
Chapter 715: Xin Can¡¯t Lay Eggs
Fang Xinxin ran into his arms and spoke gloomily. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯m not pregnant.¡±
¡°I know.¡± Bai Qinghao caressed her long, soft hair. ¡°Didn¡¯t Shi Qian say that we¡¯ll have one eventually?¡±
He had secretly undergone a check-up and confirmed that he did not have any problems in that area.
However, it was true that she had remained without a child for the past two years. He wanted to say that there weren¡¯t any problems with his body but he quickly swallowed those words back down.
If she still did not conceive in the future and the Bai family¡¯s elders pressured her, he would tell them that it was his problem.
She said unhappily, ¡°What do we do if I really can¡¯t conceive?¡±
¡°In that case, we¡¯ll spend the rest of our lifetime together.¡± He brushed his fingers through her hair and savoured the soft,fortable sensation.
She shook her head. ¡°The Bai family¡¯s elders won¡¯t agree to this.¡±
¡°We¡¯re not spending our lifetime with them.¡± Bai Qinghao lifted her head and looked at her seriously. ¡°My wife, don¡¯t feel any pressure to have a child. If they dare to interfere with this, at most we¡¯ll live permanently in the Yu Ting Vi and never return to the old Bai family¡¯s mansion.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± She nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve decided. Even if I remain a hen that can¡¯ty eggs, I won¡¯t let go of you.¡±
His gaze was doting as he watched her. He then frowned. ¡°What do you mean by a ¡®hen that can¡¯ty eggs¡¯? Who dares to speak about you in that manner? I¡¯ll rip their lips off. You¡¯re my most precious treasure in this lifetime!¡±
¡°En, en.¡± She leaned into his warm embrace and felt safe.
If she never conceived in this lifetime, though there would be some regrets, she would still treasure her time with him.
In the Jing Xin Residence behind the old Bai family¡¯s mansion, Bai Jingrou had just returned home. She sat down on the couch with a dark expression.
Huang Zhishu handed her a bowl of bird¡¯s nest soup that she had personally prepared. ¡°My daughter, you¡¯ve just been released. It must have been tough on you. Have some of this to replenish your body¡¯s nutrients.¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®released¡¯!¡± Bai Jingrou red at her as she sipped the bird¡¯s nest soup. ¡°I was only detained for three days. Don¡¯t exaggerate!¡±
Bai Chenxi shot his sister an unhappy look. ¡°Why are you losing your temper at Mom?¡±
Bai Jingrou was infuriated. ¡°I¡¯m just angry. Those damned Bai family¡¯s elders watched while I was being detained when a single word from them would have been enough to prevent this. What made me more furious was that when I went to greet them this morning, the three of them were busy instructing the doctor to give Fang Xinxin a check-up. They didn¡¯t even give me a proper nce.¡±
¡°Enough, enough. Don¡¯t be angry anymore.¡± Huang Zhishu¡¯s heart ached for her daughter. ¡°We¡¯ll kill them all one day.¡±
Bai Chenxi suddenly frowned. ¡°Fang Xinxin is doing well. What¡¯s the need for a sudden check-up?¡±
Huang Zhishu responded. ¡°The Bai family must be wanting to know if she would have any problems conceiving.¡±
Bai Jingrou ced the bird¡¯s nest soup down. ¡°Does she? They have been cohabitating for so long. Could she already be pregnant?¡±
A hint of viciousness shed past her eyes.
If Fang Xinxin, that whore, dared to be pregnant, she would not only force her into an abortion but would leave her unable to conceive for the rest of her life!
¡°The results aren¡¯t out yet.¡± Huang Zhishu nced towards the door.
At this moment, a maid hurried over. She whispered into Huang Zhishu¡¯s ear before backing away.
¡°Mom, how is it?¡± Bai Jingrou stood up in agitation.
¡°Based on the blood test, Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t pregnant.¡± Huang Zhishu told her the result.
¡°It¡¯s good that she isn¡¯t pregnant. If she is, it would be troublesome trying to remove that child.¡± Bai Jingrou appeared deep in thought.
Chapter 716 - Together Yet Apart
Chapter 716: Together Yet Apart
¡°But she¡¯s healthy and may have a child anytime¡¡± Huang Zhishu could not help but worry.
¡°She may not have enough time in the Bai family for that to happen.¡± Bai Jingrou suddenly smiled mockingly.
¡°Sister, do you have something nned?¡± Bai Chenxi asked in curiosity.
Bai Jingrou smiled coldly. ¡°A few days ago, didn¡¯t I send someone to look into Fang Shaohua by targeting his part-time worker, Gao Ru? Guess what I found?¡±
¡°Quickly tell me!¡± Bai Chenxi was extremely interested.
¡°Fang Xinxin actually had an affair with Fang Shaohua!¡± Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly. ¡°You say, if Bai Qinghao finds out about this, will Fang Xinxin immediately be thrown off the seat of Madam Bai?¡±
She thought further about this. ¡°Doesn¡¯t Fang Shaohua have a woman named Sun Jiamu by his side? She¡¯s also Fang Xinxin¡¯s best friend, isn¡¯t she? You say, how will Sun Jiamu react if she finds out that her man slept with Fang Xinxin?¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin would then be isted by both her family and friends.¡± The wrinkles in the corner of Huang Zhishu¡¯s eyes deepened with her smile.
¡°When Fang Xinxin is ruined, I¡¯llfort her and make use of that opportunity to get into her good books.¡± Bai Chenxi schemed. ¡°After that, even if she is useless for dealing with Bai Qinghao, the Jiao Yang Group Finance under her name will be mine¡¡±
Bai Chenxi grinned in excitement, as though he could see the day he would be a wealthy man. ¡°Sister, how do you n on exposing this matter?¡±
¡°As usual, I¡¯ll make use of someone else¡¯s hands.¡±
¡
On the twentieth floor of an apartment in Hong Sheng District, Sun Jiamu stood alone on the balcony to take in the view of the city lights. The city was bustling.
Three days ago, she had registered her marriage with Fang Shaohua.
She had believed this would be the beginning of her happy, married life. However, the truth was the exact opposite.
She still remembered when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau with the red booklets in their hands. Her smile had been bright.
Fang Shaohua, however, did not reveal the slightest emotion. It was impossible to tell how he felt.
That night had been their wedding night. As theyid on the bed, she had taken the initiative to embrace him from behind. However, he had responded by saying that he was tired.
Hepletely had no intention of touching her.
Thus, the two of them slept through the night facing away from each other.
The next morning, Fang Shaohua left on a business trip.
He did not approve of her previous resignation letter.
As his secretary, she naturally understood that the business trip he had left for was not important at all. He could have sent a manager on his behalf.
Yet, he insisted on making the trip himself. When she asked to follow him, he stated that he did not need any help.
It was clear that he was avoiding her.
Sun Jiamu sighed subconsciously. Her mood was low as a bitter sensation spread through her heart.
It turned out that by marrying a man who did not love her, she would end up in a state where she was abandoned by her newly wedded husband.
It had been three days, but Fang Shaohua did not contact her even once.
She even felt that, inparison, he paid more attention to her when they had just been friends.
Ever since he left, she sent him a message every night before she slept. However, he never replied.
She could not allow things to go on this way.
She brought her phone out and dialled Fang Shaohua¡¯s number. It rang for quite some time. Just when she assumed he wouldn¡¯t answer the call, Fang Shaohua¡¯s low, husky voice could be heard from the other end. ¡°Hello¡¡±
She took a deep breath and spoke normally, ¡°Hubby, are you doing alright outside?¡±
He was silent for a moment. Perhaps, he did not expect her to address him in this manner.
A momentter, he responded lightly. ¡°En.¡±
Chapter 717 - Stained Bedsheet
Chapter 717: Stained Bedsheet
¡°What have you been eating for the past few days? Which hotel are you staying at? Do you have enough clothes with you?¡± She tried her best to look for topics to talk about.
¡°I still have something to take care ofter. Let¡¯s not discuss these meaningless things.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s tone was indifferent. ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡±
She sensed his cold attitude and tolerated the bitterness in her heart but maintained a light tone. ¡°Come back soon.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± He was about to end the call when she rushed to say. ¡°Wait.¡±
His tone turned impatient. ¡°What else is there?¡±
¡°Take good care of yourself.¡± Her voice conveyed her deep feelings for him. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m waiting for you at home.¡±
With that, she ended the call.
On the other end, Fang Shaohua stared at his phone and was dazed for a long time.
He was an orphan. Although his adopted parents had doted on him dearly, he always felt that he did not have a proper ce to return to.
She said she would be waiting for him at home.
Those words moved his heart deeply. He was someone whocked love and her words made him feel warm.
At the Hong Sheng District, Sun Jiamu ended the call and sat down on the living room couch.
The part-time helper, Gao Ru, was working on the chores. She came into the living room and said, ¡°Madam, the sheet in the closet hasn¡¯t been washed for nearly two years. The weather is good today. Should I take it out for a wash?¡±
A hint of curiosity shed past Sun Jiamu¡¯s eyes. ¡°What sheet?¡±
¡°The bedsheet in the top left corner of the closet. The Young Master took care to store it there and instructed me not to touch it.¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Sun Jiamu walked into the main bedroom. Her slippers brushed against the floor as she reached for the closet doors. She opened it and looked toward the top left corner. All she saw was a cotton quilt. ¡°I don¡¯t see any sheet?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll retrieve it for you.¡± Gao Ru brought a chair over. She stood on the chair and shifted the quilt aside. As expected, a neatly folded bed sheet was hidden right behind it.
Sun Jiamu received it in confusion. ¡°Why is a bedsheet hidden so well?¡±
She then shook the bedsheet open. To her astonishment, there was a patch of blood stain on it. ¡°This¡¡±
Considering that it was stained on a bedsheet, it was either from a woman¡¯s period or a woman¡¯s first time.
She recalled the night she slept with Fang Shaohua in the Fang Vi. At the time, the sheets had been white, unlike the one she was holding which were light blue.
It wasn¡¯t her blood. In that case¡
Sun Jiamu¡¯s gaze turned heavy. She nced towards Gao Ru. ¡°Auntie Gao, do you know where the blood came from?¡±
Gao Ru lowered her head and hesitated. ¡°I¡ I¡¯m just a helper. It isn¡¯t right for me to say too much.¡±
¡°Go ahead and tell me.¡±
¡°Madam, I¡¯m telling you this because you¡¯re a really good person and I don¡¯t want you to be tricked.¡± Gao Ru appeared to have gathered her resolve before she began speaking. ¡°It was nearly two years ago. On that particr day, Mr. Fang was drunk. Miss Fang Xinxin came by to apany him. The two of them¡¡±
Sun Jiamu frowned. ¡°Wait, you personally saw them together?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°In that case, don¡¯t use such ambiguous words.¡± A hint of unhappiness shed past Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression.
Gao Ru rushed to exin further. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Mr. Fang had been drunk that day when Miss Fang came by. I was coincidentally on leave and only rushed over when Miss Fang called for me toe take care of him. After Mr. Fang woke up, I found this bedsheet. At the time, I even reminded Mr. Fang that he needed to take responsibility for a girl¡¯s first time. He told me that he would. I swear, if I¡¯m lying, I¡¯ll definitely be struck by lightning!¡±
Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression turnedplex. A momentter, she spoke indifferently. ¡°Alright. Fold the sheet and return it back to its ce.¡±
Chapter 718 - Claiming Innocence
Chapter 718: iming Innocence
Gao Ru could only follow her instructions and return the bed sheet to its original location. She peeked at Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression. ¡°Madam, aren¡¯t you angry? Fang Xinxin is your good friend, yet she actually slept with Mr. Fang¡¡±
Wasn¡¯t she supposed to lose her temper after finding out that her husband had an affair? And then, wasn¡¯t she supposed to confront Fang Xinxin and cause amotion?
¡°What¡¯s there to be angry about?¡± Truthfully, Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart was in extreme pain. She was only maintaining a calm facade.
¡°But on that day, it had been Miss Fang who asked me toe take care of Mr. Fang¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s also possible that Fang Shaohua slept with another woman, and Fang Xinxin came by afterwards to see the mess. She then called you over to clean it up.¡±
Gao Ru fell silent for a moment. ¡°That¡¯s also possible.¡±
¡°Besides.¡± Sun Jiamu smiled bitterly. ¡°Based on the time you described, I hadn¡¯t met Fang Shaohua at the time. No matter who he slept with, it was his freedom to do so.¡±
In other words, even if something truly did happen between Shaohua and Xinxin, she did not have the right to be angry.
This thought left her heart in pain!
¡°I didn¡¯t know that Madam would be this epting.¡± Gao Ru did not say more.
Sun Jiamu scanned her lowered head and narrowed her eyes. ¡°Auntie Gao, go ahead and tell me. What are your intentions?¡±
¡°Madam, I don¡¯t understand your meaning¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not a fool.¡± Sun Jiamu harrumphed coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve been with Fang Shaohua for nearly two years. Quit finding excuses. What did you mean when you said that the weather was good today and you wanted to wash the sheet? Since you¡¯ve always known about this matter, but never mentioned it for the past two years, it means that you were never interested in bringing it up earlier. Why did you talk about it today, then?¡±
Gao Ru repeated her words from before. ¡°Madam, I¡¯m really doing this for your own good. A few days ago, after you married Mr. Fang, you even gave me a red packet. You¡¯re good friends with Fang Xinxin. The fact that she previously slept with your husband¡ it was fine before the both of you married. But now¡ you¡¯ve just married Mr. Fang and he is neglecting you to this extent. I was worried it was because of Fang Xinxin and I did not wish for you to suffer without knowing anything. That is why I decided to be the bad person and to tell you about this.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Sun Jiamu did not believe her.
¡°I definitely won¡¯t lie to you.¡± Gao Ru appeared especially sincere.
¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was indifferent as she instructed. ¡°Let me remind you, since you didn¡¯t witness anything personally, it means that the blood stain may not belong to Fang Xinxin. This matter concludes here. You are not to bring it up to anyone else, do you understand?¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡± Gao Ru rushed to agree.
She was only a part-time worker and was in charge of handling the house chores and preparing their meals. After finishing her work, she quickly left.
After leaving the Hong Sheng District, Gao Ru hid in an alleyway. She appeared especially flustered as she made a call. ¡°I did as you told, but Sun Jiamu didn¡¯t have much reaction to the news.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Sun Jiamu to be this epting andposed. Observe Sun Jiamu for a little longer and see if she causes amotion over this matter. If she doesn¡¯t, then you should do this¡¡±
Gao Ru listened to her instructions and rushed to express her agreement.
That night, Sun Jiamu was very surprised. Fang Shaohua actually returned from his business trip.
The moment he returned home, Sun Jiamu asked. ¡°Have you had dinner?¡± She took his document bag from him and brought his slippers out from the shoe closet.
Chapter 719 - Bitter Question
Chapter 719: Bitter Question
¡°I¡¯ve eaten. There¡¯s no need for you to busy yourself.¡± Truthfully, Fang Shaohua hadn¡¯t had dinner yet. He only said so because he did not wish for her to worry.
He changed into a pair of slippers and saw that her face was bare without any make-up. Her skin was fair and soft, and her five features were very beautiful. Why hadn¡¯t he ever noticed that she was so beautiful?
She wore a pink set of pajamas with cartoon prints on it. It made her appear slightly mischievous and adorable.
His gaze lingered on her for a moment.
Sun Jiamu poured him a cup of tea and sliced some fruit onto a te for him. ¡°Drink some hot tea and have some fruit first.¡±
She then turned to head into the kitchen. A momentter, she stepped out with a te of freshly prepared fried rice. She handed it to him. ¡°Even if you¡¯ve had dinner, you should still eat something.¡±
In fact, she knew that he had yet to eat. He was likely afraid of troubling her.
It was only 6:30 in the evening and he had just returned from abroad. It was unlikely that he had the time to eat on his way back.
Fang Shaohua nced at her for a moment. He felt that she was very considerate. He received the te and began to eat the fried rice that she had personally prepared.
The two of them sat in silence.
Sun Jiamu headed into the bathroom in the main bedroom. She washed the bathtub before filling it with hot water. She then found a clean set of pajamas and ced it on the towel rack. ¡°Hubby, go take a bath after you¡¯ve eaten. The trip must have been tiring. Take this opportunity to rx.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice could be heard from the living room.
Sun Jiamu came out again and took the empty te from him. ¡°Do you want a little more food?¡±
She ced the empty te in the kitchen. The part-time worker woulde by tomorrow to wash it.
Fang Shaohua stepped into the main bedroom to see that the tub was filled. He nced at the towel rack. She had even thoughtfully prepared his pajamas for him.
He took off his clothes and took a long bath.
Twenty minutester, Fang Shaohua stepped into the bedroom in his pajamas. Sun Jiamu saw that his hair was wet. She reached for the hairdryer to help him dry his hair.
He frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll help you.¡± She smiled.
¡°I said I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± He was used to being taken care of by anyone, especially women!
Her expression stiffened for a moment. She handed the hairdryer to him. ¡°Sure.¡±
Her backview was slightly gloomy as she left the room. His heart ached strangely. ¡°Jiamu¡¡±
She turned back with a smile to ask. ¡°What is it, Hubby?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just not used to being taken care of. In the future, you don¡¯t have to do these things for me.¡± After all, she was a daughter from a wealthy family. These weren¡¯t things she was supposed to do.
Sun Jiamu felt extremely bitter.
Aside from all these things, what else could she possibly do for him?
She was his newly wedded wife, but he did not even desire intimacy between them.
As he dried his hair in the room, the noise from the hairdryer interrupted the quiet in the apartment.
Sun Jiamu sat in a daze on the couch.
During the past two years, she had learned that Fang Shaohua was a very loyal and stubborn man.
Fang Xinxin had left a very deep mark on his heart. She wasn¡¯t certain if she could ever obtain his love in this lifetime.
She really wanted to ask him whether he really slept with Fang Xinxin.
If it was true, even if this was in the past, she realised that¡ the possibility alone left her heart bleeding.
Right now, Fang Shaohua and her were like strangers who had married.
She was afraid that if she asked, their weak and awkward rtionship would fall apart.
She also did not dare to ask Fang Xinxin about this. She was afraid that she would lose her only good friend.
Hence, she could only swallow this bitterness down.
Chapter 720 - Fall In Love?
Chapter 720: Fall In Love?
Sun Jiamu found that she waspletely helpless.
She headed to the guest bedroom for a shower and changed into ace nightgown with spaghetti straps.
Fang Shaohua was watching television on the couch.
She approached his side and knelt down on the couch to embrace his neck. ¡°Hubby¡¡±
¡°Jiamu, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Hubby.¡± She pecked his cheek lightly.
¡°Don¡¯t mess around.¡±
¡°Who is messing around?¡± She began to undo his shirt buttons. ¡°Hubby, even if you don¡¯t love me, we¡¯re a married couple. No matter what, you have to fulfill your responsibilities as my husband, don¡¯t you?¡±
The next morning, when Sun Jiamu awoke, she was the only person on the bed. Fang Shaohua was nowhere to be found.
However, as she recalled the night before, she could not help but smile.
Physical intimacy was also considered as progress, wasn¡¯t it?
For the next few days, Fang Shaohua and Sun Jiamu headed to thepany together in the day and were intimate when they returned home at night.
To Fang Shaohua, since his wife desired for him to fulfil his responsibilities as a husband, he did not have any reason to refuse her.
Sun Jiamu only hoped he would like her a little more.
Even if¡ he only liked her body, that was good enough.
Around ten dayster, Fang Shaohua suddenly began ignoring her again.
He had still been fine in the morning, but she wasn¡¯t sure what happened in the afternoon. His attitude was especially cold.
At 4:00 in the afternoon, Sun Jiamu sat in the secretary¡¯s office to consider Fang Shaohua¡¯s strange behaviour when she suddenly received a voice recording on her phone.
¡°Mr. Fang, I¡¯m so sorry. I told Madam about the things that happened between Miss Xinxin and you.¡± Gao Ru¡¯s voice could be heard through the recording.
¡°What do you mean?¡± It was Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice.
¡°Around two years ago, when you had gotten drunk and slept with Miss Xinxin.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I instruct you not to mention this matter to anyone!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It was Madam who found the bedsheets left from the incident. I didn¡¯t dare to lie and could only tell her the truth.¡±
¡°Scram! From now onwards, you¡¯re fired,¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s enraged voice could be heard.
Sun Jiamu listened to the recording and understood it meant that Fang Shaohua had truly slept with Fang Xinxin. Her heart was instantly in pain. She could not help her tears.
Fang Shaohua stepped out of the CEO¡¯s office and passed by the secretary¡¯s office to see that she was crying.
He wasn¡¯t sure why, but her tearful appearance left him feeling somewhat flustered.
He approached her side with a frown. ¡°Why are you crying?¡±
She lifted her head from where she sat behind the office desk and asked softly. ¡°Is it true that you slept with Fang Xinxin?¡±
He nodded lightly. His expression was filled with pain. ¡°I don¡¯t wish to hide this from you.¡±
¡°Then¡ Do you love me?¡± She asked with difficulty.
His heart strangely ached for her tears, but he shook his head.
¡°In that case, in the future¡¡± She smiled bitterly. ¡°In the future, could you possibly fall in love with me?¡±
Chapter 721 - Rift
Chapter 721: Rift
¡°I¡¯ve already given all my love to Xinxin.¡± Fang Shaohua closed his eyes in pain. ¡°In this lifetime, I won¡¯t love anyone aside from Xinxin.¡±
¡°But you married me!¡± She wanted to scream, but her voice sounded broken and weak.
¡°I already told you; it¡¯s because I took your first time. I married you to take responsibility for you.¡±
Her heart was bleeding. She murmured softly. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to take responsibility. I want your love.¡±
¡°I previously took Xinxin¡¯s first time when I was drunk.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart was in pain. ¡°I had wanted to take responsibility for her, but she married Bai Qinghao and doesn¡¯t need me. Nheless, I let her down with my actions. I can¡¯t let you down too. I can give you a marriage and promise you that you¡¯ll be my only woman. The only thing I cannot promise is love.¡±
She had pursued him for nearly two years. She asked him with a sigh. ¡°There isn¡¯t the slightest possibility that you¡¯ll fall for me?¡±
¡°Xinxin asked me to take good care of you. She hopes that you¡¯ll be her sister-inw.¡± Fang Shaohua was indifferent. ¡°By marrying you, I can stop Xinxin from worrying. I can also take the responsibility I owe you. That is why you became my wife.¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Sun Jiamu raised her voice.
Fang Shaohua nced at her angered expression in surprise. He had never known that she could get angry?
For the past two years, she tried to win his liking with every possible method and had never lost her temper at him.
Sun Jiamu felt like she was a beggar. She had been begging for scraps for him for so long.
She always waited for the day he would turn to look at her.
However, the truth was actually this painful.
Sun Jiamu stood up. She reached for the tissues on the table and wiped her tears away before heading for the door.
Fang Shaohua reached out to hold her elbow.
Just when she thought he would ask her to stay, he said, ¡°The things that happened between Xinxin and I¡ don¡¯t tell anyone about it.¡±
Sun Jiamu¡¯s heart turned frigid cold. She said mockingly, ¡°I can¡¯t promise that I won¡¯t tell anyone.¡±
A hint of anger shed past his face. ¡°Sun Jiamu, must you insist on ruining Xinxin¡¯s happiness? She is already married. She won¡¯t affect you in any way!¡±
She smiled as she slowly pushed his hand away from her arm. ¡°Since she snatched away your heart, I¡¯ll y the role of a bad woman.¡±
Since he valued Xinxin this much, she would anger him in this way.
This was because he only became angry with her for Xinxin. If it wasn¡¯t for Xinxin, he wouldn¡¯t even give her a single nce, wasn¡¯t it?
¡°You!¡± A hint of viciousness shed past Fang Shaohua¡¯s dark gaze.
¡°What is it? Are you thinking of hitting me now?¡± Sun Jiamu lifted her chin.
Fang Shaohua took in her beautiful appearance. His voice was both indifferent and tired. ¡°I don¡¯t hit women.¡±
¡°Then, let go!¡± Her voice was as cold as ice.
Fang Shaohua wasn¡¯t sure why, but a small part of him could not bear to do so. ¡°Only if you promise not to hurt Xinxin.¡±
¡°Fine.¡± Sun Jiamu directly agreed. At the same time, she felt her heart being enveloped in misery.
Xinxin was her only and closest friend.
Chapter 722 - Impossible!
Chapter 722: Impossible!
Back then, at the Jing Hua University¡¯s dormitory, when she fell off her bed, Xinxin had been the one who caught hold of her. If it hadn¡¯t been for her, perhaps her neck would already have broken.
If it wasn¡¯t for Xinxin, she would already have been ruined by Feng Dongkai. It had been Xinxin who rescued her.
Although Fang Shaohua did not know all these things, he understood how strong her friendship with Xinxin was.
What a joke! After spending so much time with him, he actually believed she would harm Xinxin.
She only ever had the best intentions for Xinxin.
This meant that he had never once properly understood her.
Indeed. This time, she really ought to give up.
Fang Shaohua was surprised by how quickly she responded. He then recalled her close friendship with Xinxin and understood that she wouldn¡¯t hurt her.
Her gaze shifted onto his grip around her arm and he rushed to let go of it.
¡°Fang Shaohua, I¡¯m tired.¡± Sun Jiamu appeared slightly numb. ¡°You¡¯ve taken responsibility for me. You¡¯re a good man. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯ll never be able to give me the love I desire.¡±
Her high heels clicked loudly as she stepped out of the office.
As he took in her deste back view, a sharp pain suddenlynced through his heart.
He wasn¡¯t sure why, but when she said she was tired, he did not feel any relief whatsoever. Instead, he felt both flustered and frustrated.
She suddenly paused in her footsteps and added. ¡°Do you know why I found out about you and Xinxin? It was the part-time helper, Gao Ru, who recorded your conversation with her. She sent it to me. I suspect she doesn¡¯t just n on destroying our rtionship. She must be targeting Xinxin. You are Xinxin¡¯s older brother. You can¡¯t let this recording be exposed. Otherwise, you¡¯ll cause irreversible damage to Xinxin¡¯s reputation.¡±
She then appeared to have thought of something. ¡°You started ignoring me starting this afternoon. Gao Ru must have recorded it then. Could it be that the recording has already been leaked to the public?¡±
She reached for her phone to check.
Fang Shaohua responded with certainty. ¡°No.¡±
She stiffened. All of a sudden, she understood everything. Herplexion was pale as she smiled. ¡°Fang Shaohua, you¡¯re an intelligent man. Even if Gao Ru, the part-time worker, believes that you slept with Xinxin, she doesn¡¯t have any evidence. You could have denied it yet you admitted to it so quickly. You even sent the recording to me¡ You were testing to see if I would harm Xinxin?¡±
She waved her phone before him. ¡°The recording that was sent to my phone, I deleted it right after I listened to it.¡± She smiled bitterly. ¡°You really didn¡¯t need to test me like this. It turns out that there isn¡¯t any trust between the two of us. Let¡¯s get a divorce.¡±
Her tone was heavy. This time, she did not turn back nor did she look at him again. She directly headed into the elevator.
Thus, she missed his expression of pain and regret.
¡
In Yu Ting Vi¡¯s study, Bai Qinghao was in the midst of scanning through the documents on his desk. Right then, he received the same recording from a stranger¡¯s phone number.
After listening to the recording, Bai Qinghao¡¯s frown deepened. His eyes had reddened and he appeared like an enraged beast.
He immediately made a call. When no one answered, he raised his voice. ¡°Guards!¡±
A bodyguard immediately stepped into the room. He asked carefully. ¡°Boss, what are your instructions?¡±
¡°Find out the source of this phone number. Bring the person before my eyes right now!¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡± The bodyguard immediately left to carry out his orders.
Bai Qinghao clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails into his flesh. Fang Shaohua actually slept with Fang Xinxin two years ago.
How was this possible? It was absolutely impossible!
Chapter 723 - Threatened
Chapter 723: Threatened
Nearly an hourter, the bodyguards dragged Gao Ru into the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room.
Bsi Qinghao sat on the couch. With the clicking noise of a lighter, he lit a cigar.
The bodyguards shoved Gao Ru forward and she fell onto the ground.
She raised her head to see the cigar Bai Qinghao was holding. He took a long draw of it before smoke escaped his lips.
He appeared as noble as a god, yet the aura around him was murderous and frightening. Gao Ru was left trembling in fear.
¡°Please¡ please have mercy!¡± Gao Ru naturally understood why he had dragged her here.
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. He tapped the cigar against the ashtray. ¡°Are there any spare copies of the recording?¡± If this recording were to be exposed to the public, not only Xinxin¡¯s reputation would be ruined, even the Bai family¡¯s face would bepletely thrown away.
¡°No, no.¡± Gao Ru immediately responded. ¡°I would never dare to make copies of it.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice did not reveal much of his emotions. ¡°There¡¯s a method of punishmentmonly used in ancient times, known as Lingering Death, where a person¡¯s flesh is sliced off little by little until a thousand cuts are made. If the flesh isn¡¯t cut cleanly and is still attached to the bone, more cuts are made. It seems like you¡¯re interested in getting a taste of this experience.¡±
He shot the bodyguard a look.
He immediately retrieved a dagger in understanding and approached Gao Ru intimidatingly.
Gao Ru nearly wet her pets. ¡°Mr. Bai, I really don¡¯t have copies of the recording. I wasn¡¯t the one who recorded it. It was Mr. Fang who recorded it!¡±
Before the bodyguard could make a move, Gao Ru was frightened into confessing everything. ¡°Several days ago, I received a call from a stranger. She threatened me with my family¡¯s safety and forced me to confess the secrets between Fang Shaohua and Fang Xinxin. She imed that if I were not honest, she would harm my family. I was really afraid, so I told her about the one incident I knew that urred between Mr. Fang and Fang Xinxin in the Hong Sheng District. Sshe told me to tell this to Sun Jiamu first, to see her reaction.
But after more than ten days, Sun Jiamu still did not make a fuss about the news. The woman then told me to obtain proper evidence that something had happened between Fang Shaohua and Fang Xinxin. So I went to Mr. Fang Shaohua with the recording pen which I had secretly prepared. I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Fang to admit to it so quickly and was surprised by how easily I had obtained the recording. But Mr. Fang found the recording pen that I was hiding. He used my phone to send the recording to you and deleted it from my phone right after. I really don¡¯t have a spare copy of it. If you don¡¯t believe me, you may ask Mr. Fang.¡±
Bai Qinghao appeared deep in thought. ¡°What did that stranger tell you to do after obtaining the recording?¡±
¡°She told me to send it to her.¡± Gao Ru continued. ¡°But Mr. Bai, I really didn¡¯t obtain a copy of the recording nor did I send it to you. In fact, Mr. Fang Shaohua had guessed that you would find me and he told me to tell you everything honestly.¡±
Gao Ru was in tears. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m an honest person. I really don¡¯t know why that stranger made me do these things. She must be after Miss Xinxin and Mr. Fang. I don¡¯t understand her motive either, but I couldn¡¯t offend her. You¡ I also can¡¯t offend you. I beg you to have mercy.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was as cold as ice. ¡°Were the things you said in the recording the truth?¡±
¡°Ye¡ yes, it¡¯s true¡¡± Gao Ru nodded.
In an instant, it was as though Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was burning. His fists cracked loudly as he clenched them.
Gao Ru¡¯splexion turned pale in fright. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m innocent. I promise I won¡¯t tell anyone about this. Please let me off.¡±
Chapter 724 - She Betrayed Him?
Chapter 724: She Betrayed Him?
Bai Qinghao instructed someone coldly. ¡°Lock her away. Interrogate her about the stranger¡¯s appearance and locate her down!¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
¡
In the Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s exquisite, Chinese-style garden, Fang Xinxin was in the midst of a chess game with Elder Bai.
However, she was in no way an opponent to the Elder.
She always ended up in a defeat mid-way. After losing another round, Fang Xinxin scrunched her beautiful face into a fierce look. ¡°I¡¯m not going to y anymore. Grandfather keeps bullying me!¡±
¡°In that case, Grandfather shall give into you in the next round?¡± Bai Chongshan stroked his beard with a smile.
Everytime he yed chess with his grandson, he would lose. But everytime he yed with his granddaughter-inw, he would regain those victories. It truly left him in a good mood.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s chess skills weren¡¯t actually poorer than the elder. She was losing to him intentionally to make him happy. ¡°Who needs you to give into me?¡±
¡°Alright, alright. In that case, you¡¯ll have to work harder.¡± Elder Bai was in an extremely good mood. ¡°Who knows, you may beat this old man one day.¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± She intentionally responded. ¡°One day, I¡¯ll definitely win.¡±
The elder brought his phone out to check the time. ¡°Didn¡¯t Qinghao say that he would be back by this time? Why isn¡¯t he home yet?¡±
Right after he spoke, a ck SUV drove into the old mansion¡¯s yard.
Bai Qinghao alighted from the car and approached them with a frigid cold appearance.
His vicious gaze gave them the false illusion that they were surrounded by typhoons. Ayer of frost seemed to have crystalised the area.
All the helpers were left scuttering away in fright.
¡°Qinghao¡¡± Elder Bai had begun.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was dark as he took hold of Fang Xinxin¡¯s wrist. He then began dragging her towards the main building.
His harsh grip left her in pain. She frowned and tried to escape his hold. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Hey, what are you doing to my granddaughter-inw?¡± Elder Bai tried to follow them in worry. However, Bai Qinghao turned back and shot him a cold look in warning. ¡°Don¡¯t interfere!¡±
His murderous gaze made it impossible for the elder man to continue.
Fang Xinxin wasn¡¯t sure what happened either. Nheless, she rushed tofort him. ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯m alright.¡±
She did not continue to struggle for fear that the old man would worry and followed Bai Qinghao obediently into the old mansion.
Bai Qinghao dragged her up to the third storey. The moment the room door was mmed shut, he tossed her onto the bed.
He then pressed her down.
Fang Xinxin hit his chest. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you¡¯ve gone mad. What are you doing!¡±
The murderous intent in Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze worsened. He gritted his teeth. ¡°Fang Xinxin, I told you before. If you betray me, you¡¯ll die!¡±
She understood that his rationality was being controlled by his anger. She immediately agreed. ¡°Fine.¡±
Her response was decisive and it left Bai Qinghao startled for a moment.
He took in her bright, open gaze. It waspletely unfazed.
His enraged mind suddenly quietened. This was because his thoughts were softly beginning to speak up for her. There was no way she would betray him¡
In their previous life, the more enraged he was, the more Fang Xinxin went against him.
This time, however, she did the exact opposite. She lifted her small, fair hands and held his cheeks. ¡°Even if you want me to die, you should at least let me understand why, right?¡±
The anger that was dissipating in Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze immediately re-ignited.
He brought his phone out and yed a recording of a conversation between a man and a woman:
¡°Mr. Fang, I¡¯m so sorry. I told Madam about the things that happened between Miss Xinxin and you.¡± A middle-aged woman¡¯s voice could be heard.
¡°What do you mean?¡± It was Fang Shaohua¡¯s voice.
Chapter 725 - Believe In Her
Chapter 725: Believe In Her
¡°Around two years ago, you got drunk and slept with Miss Xinxin.¡± The middle-aged woman spoke again.
¡°Didn¡¯t I instruct you not to mention this matter to anyone!¡± Fang Shaohua sounded enraged.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It was Madam who found the bedsheet left from the incident. I didn¡¯t dare to lie and could only tell her the truth.¡±
¡°Scram! From now onwards, you¡¯re fired.¡± Fang Shaohua sounded furious.
Fang Xinxin frowned after listening to the recording. ¡°The man in the recording is my brother, Fang Shaohua. And the woman is¡ Gao Ru, the part-time worker hired to take care of my brother¡¯s apartment in the Hong Sheng District.¡±
¡°You sure remember her well!¡± Bai Qinghao took in her expression and demanded heavily. ¡°What more do you have to say! You actually dared to¡¡±
Her stunning features suddenly turned frigid cold. ¡°I actually dared to what? Continue speaking!¡±
¡°You had the guts to do it but not admit it?¡± He narrowed his ink-ck eyes. His gaze was filled with murderous intent.
Fang Xinxin remained fearless. Perhaps it was because she loved him too much in this lifetime. Although most people would grow frightened with even the news of his arrival, she wasn¡¯t the slightest bit afraid.
However, she also could not tolerate the slightest grievance from him. This was likely because he had spoiled her rotten in the past two years. She looked at him coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve determined that I¡¯m guilty just like that?¡±
¡°I¡¯m asking why you decided to betray me!¡± He raised his voice. As long as she said she did not do it, and that she was wronged, he would believe her.
She smiled. However, her smile was extremely dull. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I have a question for you too. Why are you determining that I betrayed you with such little evidence? Fine. You may think however you like. We¡¯ve been together for so long, but it turns out there isn¡¯t any trust between us whatsoever.¡±
She suddenly felt very bitter. All she could remember were Jiang Xingnan¡¯s words. He had hoped that on the day she was kicked out of the Bai family, she would be unharmed.
Leaving Bai Qinghao, the ruthless King of Hell¡ how could she possibly escape this unscathed?
At the thought of leaving him, she felt her heart nearly shattering into pieces.
Bai Qinghao took in her miserable smile and felt pain piercing through his heart. ¡°No¡¡±
He brought her into his embrace and held her tightly. He nearly pressed her into his body with the force he was using. ¡°Fang Xinxin, don¡¯t smile like that. I believe in you. I believe in everything you say!¡±
He was terrified that she would give up and became scared that he would lose her. Even if there was strong evidence against her, he would rather choose to believe in her!
She looked at his cold, heavy gaze and felt a hint of hope. She began unhappily. ¡°You just said that I betrayed you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m just angry and jealous!¡± Bai Qinghao spoke hatefully. ¡°Considering Fang Shaohua¡¯s response, even if nothing happened between the both of you, it doesn¡¯t change the fact that there was something ambiguous going on!¡±
Only god knew how much he wished to murder Fang Shaohua. However, he was afraid of making her upset.
She punched his chest. However, his body was too firm and it only left her hand hurting. ¡°Nonsense! He has only ever been a brother to me!¡±
Bai Qinghao held her hand and spoke in heartache. ¡°Your hand has turned red.¡±
¡°Although he is my brother, I don¡¯t know why he would say such a thing.¡± Fang Xinxin frowned. A hint of dejection shed past her eyes. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to believe me.¡±
¡°I will.¡± He promised seriously. With her words, he was able to set his heart at ease.
Chapter 726 - Im Sorry, Wife
Chapter 726: I¡¯m Sorry, Wife
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, someone knocked against the door firmly. Bai Qinghao spoke heavily. ¡°Who is it?¡±
¡°Young Master, it¡¯s me.¡± Bai Mingde, the old butler, said, ¡°Mr. Fang Shaohua sent someone with a gift. He said that he would visit personallyter.¡±
Bai Qinghao opened the room door to see Butler Bai with a white, square box in his hands.
He received it and saw that Elder Bai Chongshan was also outside the door. He appeared to be peeking into the room.
¡°Where¡¯s Xinxin?¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s expression was filled with concern. He red at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Did you make things difficult for my granddaughter-inw?¡± Earlier, Qinghao had appeared as though he was about to murder someone. The sight had left his old little heart frightened.
¡°Grandfather, I¡¯m alright.¡± Fang Xinxin was moved. She spoke to him from where she sat by the bed.
¡°As long as you¡¯re fine.¡± He addressed Bai Qinghao sternly. ¡°Dote on your wife. We¡¯ll have to rely on her for the Bai family¡¯s future children.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to tell me that.¡± Bai Qinghao shut the door expressionlessly and left them outside.
Fang Xinxin nced at the box in his hands. ¡°What gift did my brother send?¡±
Bai Qinghao opened to see that it contained a light blue bed sheet. He took it out and found a patch of dried blood stain on the centre.
¡°This¡¡± Fang Xinxin was confused as she stared at it. ¡°Did my brother take the wrong medicine? Why would he send something with dried blood on it?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned heavy. He asked coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Gao Ru, the part-time worker, ims that this bed sheet from Fang Shaohua¡¯s bed in the Hong Sheng district has your blood.¡±
¡°My blood?¡± Fang Xinxin appeared even more confused. ¡°Why would my blood be on my brother¡¯s bedsheet?¡± All of a sudden, she appeared to have recalled something.
She chuckled. ¡°It must be that incident¡¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and harsh gaze watched her firmly. ¡°What incident?¡±
Fang Xinxin did not answer him directly. Instead, she asked. ¡°Why do you think my blood would be on my brother¡¯s bedsheet?¡±
He could not answer this.
A woman would only bleed if it was her first time. Xinxin had already lost his innocence to him much before the day Gao Ru imed that these sheets had been stained.
Even if something truly existed between Fang Shaohua and her¡ there wouldn¡¯t be any blood on the sheet. Of course, Xinxin would never let him down in this way!
¡°There has to be a misunderstanding.¡± Bai Qinghao was certain of this.
Fang Xinxin suddenly asked him. ¡°Where¡¯s Liu Li, your bodyguard?¡±
¡°Why are you looking for him? He is currently stationed at the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
¡°Call him over.¡±
Bai Qinghao frowned but dialed Liu Li¡¯s phone. After a moment, he said, ¡°Liu Li will be here in twenty minutes.¡±
¡°Good, my brother will be here at the same time.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°I¡¯ll rify this matter to you at that time.¡± She did not wish for his misunderstanding to worsen with her exnation.
Bai Qinghao took in her charming features. Her gaze was open and she did not appear guilty in the slightest. This seemed to put his feelings at ease.
¡°Wife, I¡¯m sorry!¡± He brought her into his arms and said heavily.
¡°Why are you apologising?¡± She lifted her brows.
¡°I shouldn¡¯t have gotten jealous so quickly¡¡± His gaze appeared slightly flustered. ¡°In fact, I believe in you. If I truly thought you were guilty, I wouldn¡¯t have given you an opportunity to exin. I would have shot you to death there and then!¡±
¡°Fuck!¡± She red at him sharply. ¡°Can you bear to? If you lose a good wife like me, you¡¯ll never be able to find a good recement.¡±
Chapter 727 - Venomous Scorpion
Chapter 727: Venomous Scorpion
Indeed.
In this entire world, no other woman would love him as much as she did.
She was willing to live for him, die for him, and give him her everything!
One day, he would finally understand her feelings.
Bai Qinghao took in her loving gaze and understood that she loved him fiercely with her life.
He was deeply moved. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be able to bear for that to happen. I would rather sacrifice my own life than to hurt you even the slightest.¡±
She sighed and pressed her face against his firm chest. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I love you so much. How could I possibly let you down?¡±
His frozen heart trembled heavily. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¡±
¡°Stop apologising.¡± Fang Xinxin took in his apologetic gaze and understood that he reciprocated her feelings for him just as strongly.
This man was a figure akin to a god. He was always above everyone else and was always treated like an emperor.
It was likely that he had never apologised to anyone in his entire lifetime. She had to be the very first.
This already meant that he valued her much more than himself.
She truly¡ could not bear to even be angry at him.
In the bedroom, he wrapped her small figure in his embrace¡
Outside the door, Elder Bai made sure there wasn¡¯t anymotioning from the room before he set his heart at ease and left.
In the Jing Xin Residence behind the old Bai mansion, Bai Chenxi walked back and forth with an impatient expression.
¡°Gao Ru, that part-time helper, has already been arrested by Bai Qinghao. Could she say anything that may affect us?¡±
Bai Jingrou sat on the couch with a teacup in her hands. She took a sipfortably. ¡°We weren¡¯t the ones who ¡®interfered¡¯ in this matter. How could she possibly expose us?¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Bai Chenxi rxed a little. ¡°Earlier, Fang Shaohua sent someone with a gift for Bai Qinghao. What could it be?¡±
¡°It has to be the bloodstained bedsheet from when he slept with Fang Xinxin. Aside from that, what else could he give Bai Qinghao?¡± Fang Jingrou continued mockingly. ¡°I simply don¡¯t understand. Doesn¡¯t Bai Qinghao have mysophobia? If Fang Xinxin has already slept with Fang Shaohua, how could he possibly touch a dirty woman like her!¡±
¡°She is attractive and has a good figure.¡± Bai Chenxi recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning figure.
Her body proportions were perfect and her five features were beautifully crafted. ¡°I doubt there is any man on this earth who could possibly reject her appearance.¡±
¡°She only knows how to seduce with her looks¡¡±
¡°Sister, stop being jealous.¡± Bai Chenxi appeared infatuated. ¡°Fang Xinxin is the Jiao Yang Group¡¯s director. She is also the world famous designer, Alice. She has both beauty and brains¡¡±
¡°Enough of that. Quit praising her.¡± Bai Jingrou smiled coldly. ¡°Didn¡¯t the helpers see Bai Qinghao dragging Fang Xinxin into the room in rage? How could Bai Qinghao possibly tolerate his woman betraying him? Who knows, Fang Xinxin¡¯s little life may end with a gunshot today!¡±
¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± A hint of hunger shed past Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze. He appeared as though he would begin to drool anytime.
¡°She¡¯s getting off easy if she dies just like that.¡± A hint of viciousness shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze. ¡°If she manages to survive, she¡¯ll definitely suffer a harsher fate than death.¡±
Bai Chenxi took in his sister¡¯s ruthless gaze. She was like a venomous scorpion. He trembled. ¡°Thank god that I¡¯m your blood-rted brother. Otherwise¡¡±
Chapter 728 - You Are Already Mine
Chapter 728: You Are Already Mine
¡°Brother.¡± Bai Jingrou warned him with a vicious expression. ¡°You had better not stand in my way. Otherwise, I won¡¯t take our rtionship into ount.¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Bai Chenxi was unmoved. ¡°Fang Xinxin, that whore, refuses to lend even eight million dors to me. And the Bai family has only ever treated me like an outsider. If Bai Qinghao dies, everything will belong to me! Of course, if Bai Qinghao is willing to marry you and hand over a portion of the Bai family¡¯s wealth to me, in that case, I could consider letting him off.¡±
¡°If Bai Qinghao refuses to marry me,¡± Bai Jingrou narrowed her eyes darkly. ¡°I¡¯ll help you to eliminate him!¡± If she couldn¡¯t have him, Fang Xinxin was not allowed to get him either!
¡°My good sister, I¡¯m waiting to see how you¡¯ll take the position of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯ from Fang Xinxin.¡±
Bai Jingrou suddenly smiled gently. ¡°The main bedroom has fallen silent. Perhaps, Fang Xinxin has already been murdered by Bai Qinghao in his rage.¡±
¡
Twenty minutester, Bodyguard Liu Li arrived at the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
As Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin made their way down the stairs, Liu Li stood in the living room to greet them respectfully. ¡°Boss, you were looking for me?¡±
¡°Wait by the side.¡± Bai Qinghao began coldly and heavily.
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Liu Li stood aside respectfully.
Several minutester, Butler Bai Mingde led Fang Shaohua into the living room.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand and Bai Mingde backed away in understanding.
At the same time, he instructed the bodyguards to ensure that busybodies could not approach the living room.
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze was slightly heavy as it shifted between Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin who were seated on the couch. The two of them appeared as per normal and did not seem the slightest bit affected by this. Weren¡¯t they supposed to have a falling out over this?
Fang Xinxin stood up and rushed to wee him. ¡°Brother¡¡±
¡°Third Sister, you¡¯ve suffered. Brother will bring you home now!¡± Fang Shaohua watched her unblinkingly.
He took in the stunning beauty of the girl he had loved ever since he was a child and found that he could not let go of his feelings for her, no matter what!
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and watched Fang Shaohua sharply, as though he desired to cut him into a thousand pieces.
If eyes could kill, Fang Shaohua believed he would already have died countless times by now.
Bai Qinghao spoke slowly and sharply. ¡°Do you think you cane and go from the Bai home as you please?¡±
What he meant was that there was no need to consider bringing Xinxin away. Perhaps Fang Shaohua himself would not be able to leave this ce safely today!
¡°As long as Xinxin is willing to leave with me, it¡¯s fine even if we have to die together.¡± Fang Shaohua harrumphed coldly. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of your Bai family in the slightest!¡±
Fang Xinxin was angry. She put on a stern face. ¡°Brother, what are you talking about? I¡¯m not willing to leave with you! And you¡¡± She red at Bai Qinghao. ¡°You promised me earlier in the room that you wouldn¡¯t disrespect your brother-inw!¡±
¡°He isn¡¯t worthy.¡± Bai Qinghao spat the three words out coldly.
Fang Shaohua wasn¡¯t interested in being his brother-inw. ¡°Third Sister, do you intend on remaining here to be looked down on by Bai Qinghao?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was heavy. ¡°He doesn¡¯t look down on me. We¡¯re doing very well.¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t he mind that you¡¡± Fang Shaohua was extremely agitated. She raised her brows and waited for him to continue. ¡°Brother, why did you stop talking?¡±
By this point, Fang Shaohua had no more reasons to hold himself back. ¡°You¡¯re already mine. Doesn¡¯t Bai Qinghao mind?¡±
The moment he spoke, the entire living room fell into a strange silence. If a needle fell at this moment, it would certainly echo through the room.
Chapter 729 - The Truth
Chapter 729: The Truth
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was frigid cold. Although he remained silent, his gaze raged with murderous intent. Even the temperature around him seemed to have fallen to freezing point.
The scene from earlier reyed in his mind.
¡°Hubby, promise me. You can¡¯t make things difficult for my brotherter. Leave this matter to me.¡± Fang Xinxin requested in his arms.
¡°He ndered you for having impure rtions with him¡¡±
¡°My brother isn¡¯t someone like that. He must have misunderstood something.¡±
¡°He ought to be ughtered a thousand times over.¡± His tone was certain.
¡°I won¡¯t let him off if he intends to harm me, but I also believe he would never do that.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°If you really kill my brother, you¡¯ll end up damaging our rtionship irreversibly.¡±
Bai Qinghao pursed his lips silently. He deliberated about it and felt that there were always other methods to killing Fang Shaohua. Would the me possibly fall on his head if Fang Shaohua died out of the blue one day?
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned even more vicious as he recovered from his thoughts.
Liu Li stood by the side in the living room and felt the urge to run away.
Even if Madam cheated on Boss, they weren¡¯t supposed to let an outsider like him find out. If Boss decides to kill him to silence him¡ he would really have to die a wrongful death.
Fang Xinxin watched Fang Shaohua in amazement. ¡°Brother, our rtionship has always been innocent. How did I be yours? Why don¡¯t I know about this?¡±
Fang Shaohua took in her charming features. She appeared especially sincere and open, and it did not seem like she was lying. He reminded her. ¡°It was almost two years ago. On that day, I was drunk when you came to the Hong Sheng District to look for me.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his expression turned dark. He was instantly enraged as he mmed his fist against the coffee table.
With a loud noise, the strong, red wood table shattered.
If this punch hadnded on a person, they would definitely have died!
Fang Xinxin and Liu Li¡¯s heart both jumped simultaneously in fright. Bai Qinghao was truly too terrifying!
But Fang Shaohua remained unmoved. He had already been prepared for death when he came.
¡°And then?¡± Xinxin asked him. ¡°Tell us everything you believe happened.¡±
¡°When I woke up, I felt strangely rxed.¡± Fang Shaohua continued. ¡°I noticed the blood on the sheets and vaguely recalled seeing you. Afterwards, when I questioned Gao Ru, the part-time worker, she confirmed that you had called her over to clean the house. My clothes at the time had also been changed. I asked Gao Ru and she said it wasn¡¯t her who had done so. In that case, it had to be you.¡±
When Liu Li heard this, he scratched his head. ¡°Why does this sound so familiar?¡±
¡°Did you sleep with my brother and cause the misunderstanding tond on my head?¡± Fang Xinxin suddenly joked mischievously with Liu Li.
Liu Li made several spitting noises in session. He then rushed to rify. ¡°Madam, you mustn¡¯t wrong me like that. I don¡¯t like men. I only like beautiful women.¡±
¡°Did you think I would take a liking to you?¡± Fang Shaohua shot him a look. ¡°You¡¯re just a bodyguard. Don¡¯t speak up if this is unrted to you.¡±
¡°It actually is rted to Liu Li.¡± Fang Xinxin lifted the bedsheet that had been ced against the couch.
¡°Oh, I remember!¡± Liu Li pped his head. ¡°On that day, I was receiving Boss¡¯s special training and had been thrown into a cave filled with snakes. I had nearly died with the way all of those snakes were clinging onto me. Madam¡ At the time, she was still Miss Fang. Miss Fang was really my saviour. She called me over to Hong Sheng District at thest minute. When I headed over, I saw that Fang Shaohua waspletely wasted in the main bedroom. His clothes were also wet from alcohol.. Afterwards, I helped him change into a new set of clothes. So¡¡±
Chapter 730 - Too Pure
Chapter 730: Too Pure
Liu Li patiently exined to Fang Shaohua. ¡°Madam was not the person who changed your clothes. I changed them for you. As for the blood stain on the bed, I had also noticed it at the time. Back then, Madam had a cut on her palm from a knife. The wound had opened up when she supported you onto the bed and it stained the sheet.¡±
Fang Xinxin felt a headache as she rubbed her forehead. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re really heavy. At the time, my hand was hurting badly. When I supported you onto the bed, you even fell on top of me and nearly kissed me. But I covered my mouth and you only ended up kissing the back of my hand for a moment.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his gaze turned frigid cold and his expression tightened. He reached into the handgun in his pocket and was ready to kill!
Fang Xinxin noticed Bai Qinghao¡¯s murderous intent and rushed to his side. She pressed his hand down to keep him from being impulsive.
Her gaze remained on Fang Shaohua. ¡°Brother, though you kissed the back of my hand, but I immediately knocked you out with a ss bottle because I was so angry. When you woke up, didn¡¯t you notice any pain at the back of your neck?¡±
Now that she mentioned it, Fang Shaohua recalled that his neck had ached badly for several days after the incident. It turned out that she had hit him with a ss bottle.
She then red sternly at Bai Qinghao. ¡°And you. At the time, when I was at my brother¡¯s home, didn¡¯t you coincidentally do a video call with me? I was the one who told you to send Liu Li over while we chatted over the phone. You even saw that my brother waspletely drunk and wasted on the bed and mentioned that there was nothing he could possibly do in that state. You even said that even if someone stabbed him, he wouldn¡¯t feel a thing.¡±
Bai Qinghao suddenly chuckled. His mocking could be heard through his cold, heavy voice. ¡°Fang Shaohua, it¡¯s true that I had a call with Xinxin on that day. To think you¡¯re this foolish. You can¡¯t even tell if you actually slept with someone? And you dared to im that you had obtained Xinxin. Let me tell you, you¡¯ll never have Xinxin. On the other hand, however, your foolishness seems to have worsened over time!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at the bloodstained sheet. ¡°Brother, the blood on the sheet really isn¡¯t mine. Besides, I already lost my innocence to Qinghao much before that incident. Didn¡¯t he tell you about this?¡±
¡°I assumed Bai Qinghao was lying to me, and that he was doing so in an attempt to end my feelings for you. I didn¡¯t expect you to really be his.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression was especially poor. As he took in the mocking in Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze, he felt that he was truly very foolish!
Liu Li could not help but speak up as well. ¡°Mr. Fang, though I am only a bodyguard, I would never be as foolish as you. At the very least, I¡¯ll definitely know who I slept with very well and I wouldn¡¯t make this sort of mistake¡¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Fang Shaohua raised his voice in anger. It was revealed that he had never had Xinxin. The truth he believed in was but a misunderstanding.
This left him feeling humiliated and angered.
This time, Fang Xinxin spoke up for Liu Li. ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t expect you to misunderstand this. If I had known, I would definitely have exined it much earlier. But I really didn¡¯t know about this in the slightest.¡± She then sighed. ¡°I think that you¡¯re really too pure. It must be because you don¡¯t have much experience.¡±
Chapter 731 - Truly Love Her
Chapter 731: Truly Love Her
Despite Fang Shaohua¡¯s charming good looks, he seemed both embarrassed and awkward.
Bai Qinghao took in his appearance and was secretly pleased.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze suddenly turned heavy. She said unhappily, ¡°Brother, though you misunderstood this for two years, you are still an intelligent man. When Gao Ru, the part-time worker, asked you about this, there was no way you couldn¡¯t tell that she had bad intentions. Why did you admit to it immediately? Regardless of whether it was true, you could have denied it, couldn¡¯t you?¡±
Fang Shaohua criticised her immediately. ¡°I had thought you would go on to be happy after marrying into the Bai family. But it turns out that someone instructed Gao Ru to start this matter with the intention of forcing you out of the Bai family. It isn¡¯t easy to be Madam Bai. The reason I decided to admit to this matter was to force Bai Qinghao to give up on you.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, his expression turned cold and enraged. ¡°Find the person behind Gao Ru. Toss them directly into the sea to feed the sharks!¡±
¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Liu Li immediately instructed his subordinates to work faster.
Fang Xinxin, however, watched Fang Shaohua with disapproval. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m doing very well in the Bai family. Let¡¯s not talk about Bai Qinghao¡¯s status and wealth. Even if he were any other man, perhaps someone with just a little wealth, it¡¯s unavoidable that he¡¯ll encounter someone interested in me. Despite all that, Bai Qinghao¡¯s feelings for me have never changed. Regardless of how ugly or fat I used to be, he has always loved me.¡±
¡°I¡¯m just the same!¡± Fang Shaohua raised his voice. ¡°I¡¯ve never looked down on you in the past.¡±
¡°That¡¯s because we¡¯re family.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°Besides, Brother, you¡¯re not the same as Bai Qinghao. He would never marry someone else, but you¡¯ve already married Sun Jiamu.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s body trembled. ¡°That¡¯s because¡¡± He needed to take responsibility for Jiamu.
¡°There aren¡¯t so many reasons.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed out. ¡°The truth is that you don¡¯t love me as much as you think you do. In fact, your feelings for me aren¡¯t romantic love at all.¡± She sighed. ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve never known your birth parents. All you¡¯ve ever had is the Fang family. Furthermore, we grew up in a family together and you¡¯re used to having me around all the time. The feelings you hold for me are a result of familiarity and are a form of dependency born from your loneliness. You¡¯ve never had a rtionship with a woman. It¡¯s only natural that you would make such a mistake. It indicates that you need to interact with more women. It¡¯s precisely because you don¡¯t understand what romantic love is that you would mistake familial love for romantic love.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true¡¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯splexion instantly turned pale.
¡°If you truly love me as much as you say, why would you register your marriage with Sun Jiamu on the day of my wedding?¡± Fang Xinxin told him clearly, ¡°That¡¯s because you actually have feelings for Jiamu. Nowadays, when you don¡¯t get to see Jiamu, do you miss her? When you watch her being hurt and upset, does your heart ache for her?¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯splexion was as pale as a sheet of paper and his gaze was filled with shock. However, he found that he could not refute her words.
This was because, without his own awareness, his heart had grown to ache for Jiamu. Whenever he could not see her, he would actually miss her¡
Fang Xinxin took in his reaction and concluded. ¡°Brother, when ites to love, you¡¯re still too innocent. The woman you truly love is your own wife, Jiamu. It¡¯s not me. That is why you have to treasure her well. She has done a lot for you. Let this misunderstanding go. In future, we will remain siblings.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze wasplex as he stared at Fang Xinxin. He wanted to refute her words but found that he could not make even a single noise.
Chapter 732 - Disappeared
Chapter 732: Disappeared
It was as though everything she said was true.
¡°Do you know why you were able to keep this matter a secret for two years despite the misunderstanding that you had already obtained me?¡± She watched him with her clear, open gaze.
He responded. ¡°It¡¯s because I didn¡¯t have the ability to give you happiness. I was working hard to catch up to Bai Qinghao¡¡±
¡°No, that is only an excuse you¡¯ve been relying on.¡± Xinxin shook her head. ¡°In terms of career, you¡¯ve always known that you¡¯ll never be able to catch up to him. Furthermore, you were also able to tolerate our cohabitation for nearly two years. My rtionship with Qinghao only makes you feel like you¡¯ve lost the only person you can safely share your feelings with. It isn¡¯t love. However, you assumed that you have already loved me for years and so you were unwilling to give up. In that state, you wanted to risk everything to see if you could sessfully snatch me back.¡±
Fang Shaohua¡¯splicated feelings were easily seen through and mercilessly exposed by Fang Xinxin.
¡°You¡¯ve asked me a question several times: Between Bai Qinghao and you, who is more outstanding?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled lightly. ¡°Now that I think back on it, it really seems like you held a grudge against Bai Qinghao, as though I was a toy you were both vying for.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not a toy!¡± Bai Qinghao demandingly held her waist and tugged her close. She was more important to him than his own life!
Fang Xinxin shot him a smile but her gaze remained on Fang Shaohua. ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve always struggled with admitting defeat. A significant portion of your feelings for me came from your unwillingness to lose to Bai Qinghao. It was simply your pride acting up. However, you need to understand that your current actions will only hurt the person whom you truly love. You should hurry home and look for Jiamu. I gave her a call but she has turned her phone off. You¡¯ve caused such a bigmotion that even Jiamu believes something happened between the two of us. Quickly go and exin all of this to her and pursue your own happiness!¡±
Fang Shaohua finally appeared a little flustered. He spun around and ran for the door but paused right before he could leave. He said sincerely, ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m sorry!¡±
He apologised heavily before running out.
Fang Xinxin stood by the door side and watched as he drove out of the old Bai family¡¯s mansion.
Bai Qinghao approached her and embraced her from behind. He spoke up coldly and heavily. ¡°Are you disappointed that your brother doesn¡¯t actually love you?¡±
She turned back and shot him a re. ¡°Disappointed my ass. You are my only man. Just having you alone is tough enough for me to handle!¡±
He chuckled huskily and tightened his arms around her. ¡°Besides you, I, Bai Qinghao, will never have eyes for any woman.¡±
Liu Li silently backed away from the living room and gave them some space.
Bai Jingrou stood far, behind a corner. She took in the sight of them embracing by the door. She was so angered that her charming features nearly twisted.
How did Fang Xinxin survive after sleeping with Fang Shaohua? Wasn¡¯t she supposed to be kicked off the position of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯?
Very quickly, Bai Qinghao made use of Gao Ru to contact the woman behind all this, iming that she had found evidence of Fang Shaohua and Fang Xinxin¡¯s rtionship. However, she needed to meet her personally to hand the evidence over.
However, calls from Gao Ru¡¯s phone would not go through. The messages also seemed to have not reached anyone.
It was clear that the woman had noticed something amiss and did not dare to meet Gao Ru. She also never threatened Gao Ru again.
¡
Fang Shaohua returned to his apartment in the Hong Sheng District and searched through the ce urgently. However, he could not find Sun Jiamu anywhere. Even the clothes in her wardrobe had disappeared.
He entered the bathroom and found that her bathrobe and toothbrush had also disappeared!
Chapter 733 - Left Already
Chapter 733: Left Already
She was a generous person and would not throw a petty fit in this manner.
This indicated that she was genuinely attempting to leave his life, and remove all signs of ever being with him.
A set of keys ced on the dining table was especially eye-catching. These were the keys to his home as well as¡ the keys to his Hua Feng Finance Company¡¯s office.
A divorce contract was ced under the keys.
He skimmed through the contents and it cited irreconcble differences as a reason for their divorce. There would be nopensation given to her post-divorce.
She had already signed her name. Once he did the same, the contract could be submitted to awyer and their divorce could proceed.
He immediately dialed thepany. The human resource staff informed him that she had submitted another resignation letter and was currently not in the office.
¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce¡¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s resigned voice reyed in his mind.
¡°No¡¡± Fang Shaohua clenched his fists tightly. He did not wish for a divorce.
Xinxin was right. He did have feelings for Jiamu!
He brought his phone out and gave her a call. However, the call would not go through.
He then attempted to send her a message but it was rejected.
She had blocked his number!
Fang Shaohua immediately drove towards the Sun family¡¯s vi located at Qian Shan Wan.
Sun Zhiming, Sun Jiamu¡¯s father, sized Fang Shaohua up coldly from where he sat on the couch. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
Considering his cold expression, Fang Shaohua was certain that Sun Jiamu had informed them about their conflict.
¡°Leave.¡± Wang Xinlin, Sun Jiamu¡¯s mother, spoke in anger. ¡°You¡¯re an eyesore in my home.¡±
¡°Mother¡¡± Fang Shaohua addressed her in this manner for the first time. He then spoke to Sun Zhiming. ¡°Father, won¡¯t you tell me where Mumu is? There¡¯s a misunderstanding between us. I need to clear things up with her.¡±
¡°We don¡¯t have a son-inw like you.¡± Sun Zhiming cleared his throat coldly. ¡°Servants, send him out.¡±
The helpers immediately made a polite gesture for Fang Shaohua to leave. ¡°Mr. Fang, please take your leave.¡±
If this had been any other time, Fang Shaohua would most certainly have left immediately.
In fact, he would have been unwilling to even step into the Sun family¡¯s home.
He had searched for Sun Jiamu relentlessly, but no one was aware of her location.
Jiamu was already a fourth year undergraduate and she was supposed to be carrying out her internship. However, she did not take on the internship the school rmended for her.
Even Xinxin herself wasn¡¯t sure where Jiamu had gone.
¡°Mother, Father, I was in the wrong. I treated Jiamu poorly.¡± A hint of remorse shed past Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes. ¡°I regret that I didn¡¯t treasure her well. Please let her know that I won¡¯t sign the divorce agreement. I will wait for her and continue searching for her. Jiamu is my wife and she will remain so for the rest of my life!¡±
He then stood up to leave.
Sun Zhiming took in his back view. Frankly, he was a little moved. ¡°Shaohua is also a good child. His parents aren¡¯t by his side anymore but he still grew up to be outstanding. If anyone else had suffered a false usation the way he did, they would most definitely have given up. Yet, he sessfully became a good businessman in his own right.¡±
¡°He is quite outstanding.¡± Wang Xinlin¡¯s heart also softened. ¡°¡®One would rather tear apart a universe, than to tear apart a marriage.¡¯ Should we persuade Jiamu to reconsider?¡±
¡°But she¡¯s already left on a trip to distract herself from her heartbreak. We don¡¯t have any ways of contacting her right now.¡± Sun Zhiming frowned.
¡°In that case, we can only wait for her to return.¡± Wang Xinlin sighed.
¡
Although Sun Jiamu had left, she did not travel especially far.
She rented a property with an apanying yard in a vige around two hundred kilometres away from the city centre. The mountains and clear water made for a stunning sight and the vigers were simple but warm people. There were only around thirty households in the vige.
The property she rented was located on a mountain. Each day, she only had to walk a short distance to see the sunrise and sunset on the summit.
Chapter 734 - Fresh Start
Chapter 734: Fresh Start
Although there weren¡¯t many households in this vige, there was a small grocery store. She could get her daily necessities easily and there was an abundance of meat and vegetables for her to buy.
The owners of her rental home had left to start a business in the city centre. Thus, they were able to rent their home to her.
The property was quite clean. The owners had only brought their clothes with them and the space was well-furnished. Jiamu spent some time cleaning the ce up before visiting the grocery store.
As she walked along the asphalt path, vigers who passed by her every so often would greet her.
¡°Little girl, you¡¯re not a local are you? What brings you to our vige?¡± An olddy asked her.
¡°I just rented a home here. It sits right on the mountain,¡± she responded politely.
She nned on spending some time here to give herself a break from the city noise and have a quiet life. Thus, it was necessary for her to build amicable rtions with the vigers here.
¡°Oh, it must be the Li family¡¯s home. They all left for the city centre.¡± The olddy appeared very familiar with this news. She then sized her up. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re quite a looker. Are you married?¡±
Sun Jiamu nodded. However, she did not say that she was already divorced.
¡°You¡¯re already married?¡± The olddy was slightly disappointed. ¡°There are a lot of single men in our vige. I was hoping to introduce a partner for you if you were single. I¡¯m Grandma Liu. I often match-make the young people in our vige.¡±
Sun Jiamu smiled politely in response. She met several other vigers on her way and chatted with them lightly.
She then arrived at the small grocery store and discovered that it was located inside a viger¡¯s home. It was a newly built, three-storey property. The space on the first floor hadrge windows all around and the shelves were well-stocked.
Various items were being sold.
Sun Jiamu hesitated in the yard. She wanted to purchase something, but her upbringing taught her that it was inappropriate to enter someone¡¯s home without permission.
A young man spoke up behind her. He used the ngmon in their vige. ¡°Excuse me, you are¡¡±
Sun Jiamu turned around to see a young man in his early twenties. He appeared especially tall and tanned. His five features were rather charming and he was quite handsome. He was dressed in a singlet, a pair of jeans and a pair of slippers. He appeared to be quite easy going.
The man realised that he had never seen her around. He immediately repeated himself without using any ng. ¡°Are you here to purchase something?¡±
He sized her up with his ink-ck pupils and discovered that she was especially beautiful. Her figure was also perfect.
She was definitely the most beautiful woman in their vige.
¡°Yes.¡± Sun Jiamu nodded. ¡°May I know when the owner of this shop will return?¡±
¡°I am the owner.¡± The man stepped into the living room and turned left into a room stocked with items. ¡°Go ahead and take a look.¡±
Sun Jiamu headed in and picked up a basket from the corner of the room. She filled it with a bottle of oil, a packet of salt, a bottle of soy sauce, some seasoning powder, a bag of rice as well as other necessities.
After adding a bottle of shampoo and the likes, she managed to fill up two baskets.
She paid for the items and picked up tworge grocery bags with some difficulty. She nned to head up the mountain immediately.
¡°Where do you stay?¡± The man asked. ¡°I¡¯ll help you carry the things back.¡±
She nced at him in confusion.
¡°I¡¯m Lin Haisheng.¡± He exined. ¡°I don¡¯t have any bad intentions. It just seems difficult for you to carry that back all by yourself, so I offered to help.¡±
Sun Jiamu deliberated over it and nodded. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll trouble you. Thank you.¡±
She had parked her car in the yard and regretted not driving it over. She wouldn¡¯t have troubled him otherwise.
Chapter 735 - Xin Has Gone Blind?
Chapter 735: Xin Has Gone Blind?
The two of them walked side by side up the asphalt road. A viger passing by teased him. ¡°Haisheng, is this your girlfriend? Not bad. She¡¯s really beautiful!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± Lin Haisheng¡¯s tanned cheeks turned suspiciously red. ¡°I¡¯m not that lucky.¡±
He peeked at the youngdy by his side. Her skin was fair and her aura was outstanding. With one look, it was obvious she was ady of a wealthy family from the city.
How could a girl like her possibly marry a nobody from a vige like him?
Sun Jiamu spoke apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve made them misunderstand.¡±
¡°I should be the one apologising.¡± A hint of regret shed Lin Haisheng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Could I ask for your name?¡±
¡°Sun Jiamu.¡±
He nodded lightly. The two of them did not speak further. When they arrived at the Li family¡¯s home, Li Haisheng immediately noticed the Audi Q7 parked in the yard. He lived in this vige and naturally knew that the Li family had moved away and rented their home to her. He also knew that this wasn¡¯t the Li family¡¯s car.
The license te on the car belonged to someone who lived in the city. Considering that she could afford this car, her family background definitely wasn¡¯t poor.
Lin Haisheng felt a hint of disappointment. Truthfully, he did not wish for her background to be too well-off. This was because he hoped to pursue her.
Sun Jiamu watched as Lin Haisheng kindly helped her move the items into the house. He also separated the items and ced the food into her kitchen, and the soaps into her bathroom.
¡°You don¡¯t have to help me with all this. You can just ce them down.¡± She rushed to say.
¡°It¡¯s no problem.¡± Lin Haisheng wiped the sweat away from his forehead. ¡°You¡¯ve just arrived. I used to visit the Li family all the time. I¡¯m sure I know this ce better than you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me.¡±
He then brought a small notebook out from his pocket and wrote a string of numbers with a ballpoint pen.
Sun Jiamu received it. ¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Lin Haisheng hoped internally that she would request he stay a little for a cup of tea.
Sun Jiamu spoke up first. ¡°I can¡¯t offer you a cup of tea as I live here alone. I hope you understand.¡±
Lin Haisheng rushed to reply. ¡°It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t worry. Remember to contact me if you need any help. We live in the same vige. I should take care of you.¡±
She smiled lightly but did not n on troubling him.
For the next few days, Sun Jiamu¡¯s phone was switched off. She also did not use the inte.
She spent her mornings on the summit of the mountain watching the sunrise. She would then return home to cook some congee. In the afternoons and evenings, she would prepare two dishes for herself. Aside from visiting the grocery store once, she rarely left her home.
She had hoped to rely on an unfamiliar ce to forget Fang Shaohua. However, she only grew to miss him more.
Perhaps due to her longing, her appetite was especially poor. Even mild dishes left her feeling nauseous¡
At the same time, in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
Recently, Fang Xinxin was living in the old mansion and apanying Elder Bai just as he requested.
She had made countless calls to Sun Jiamu.
However, Sun Jiamu¡¯s phone remained switched off.
In fact, a few days ago, Jiamu had sent her an email to inform her that she was safe and well.
However, she still hoped to contact her and to personally rify the misunderstanding about herself and her brother.
Jiamu did not respond to her messages or her WeChat messages.
Fang Xinxin guessed that her good friend had even refrained from using the inte.
Her brother, Fang Shaohua, had searched through the city centre for Sun Jiamu. He had nearly inspected all the streets, alleys, hotels and even restaurants.
Unfortunately, Jiamu remained nowhere to be found.
Chapter 736 - One Step Ahead
Chapter 736: One Step Ahead
She sighed. Since she knew Jiamu was safe, she could not afford to divert too much attention to her right now.
Based on her memories, Bai Jingrou would save Ye Yunzhi, Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother, today. Consequently her position in the Bai home would also be elevated.
As she had not paid much attention to the Bai family in her past life, she wasn¡¯t very certain about the details of this incident.
From what she heard, something had fallen from above and Bai Jingrou threw herself forward to push Ye Yunzhi aside. She then sprained her leg and received the Bai family¡¯s elders¡¯ concern.
Fang Xinxin stood in the yard and noticed Bai Jingrou on the second storey of the Jing Xin Residence. She was standing on the balcony.
This meant that the incident had yet to happen.
However, she was dressed in a white dress and had her hair up in a bun. She had also done her make-up and it seemed she was preparing to head out soon.
Fang Xinxin intentionally wore a simr dress today. Her hair was also done in a bun.
High-rise littering was indeed a worrying issue.
However, Bai Jingrou had saved Ye Yunzhi at the crucial moment.
She felt that this was a scheme.
Perhaps, she could interfere with this scheme by dressing the same way Bai Jingrou did.
Fang Xinxin searched for Ye Yunzhi¡¯s number and dialled her number.
Ye Yunzhi sounded a little delighted on the other end. ¡°Xinxin ah, why did you think to call Mom so suddenly?¡±
Her loving voice left Fang Xinxin somewhat dazed for a moment.
Back when her mother, Fang Ln, had been alive, she had also spoken to her in the same loving and gentle manner.
¡°Mom, I miss you.¡± She spoke with some sadness. She missed her birth mother dearly, but wasn¡¯t Qinghao¡¯s mother also her own mother?
Ye Yunzhi was surprised. She sounded a little moved as she responded. ¡°Mom is in the wrong. I must have neglected you. You¡¯ve just married Qinghao and I was afraid of disturbing the both of you. How about this? I¡¯m shopping at the Guo Mao Building. I¡¯ll buy you some clothes. Do you have the time toe over right now?¡±
Fang Xinxin was just about to ask for a location. It was even better that she shared it with her voluntarily. ¡°I¡¯ll head there right now. I should be there in twenty minutes.¡±
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll wait for you at the building entrance.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Xinxin ended the call and saw that Bai Jingrou was getting in her car.
She immediately climbed into hers and stepped on the elerator to rush out of the Bai family¡¯s mansion before her.
Bai Jingrou watched as Fang Xinxin sped away. She disappeared in a matter of seconds. This whore normally always had Tong Yu driving her around and acted as though she was a big figure. To think that she would drive personally right now.
¡°Is she rushing for a reincarnation?¡± Bai Jingrou mocked.
A hint of viciousness shed past her eyes. In a moment, she would be Ye Yunzhi¡¯s saviour. She would then be able to crush this whore beneath her feet.
Fang Xinxin parked her car right outside Guo Mao Building and saw Yu Yunzhi waving at her. Yu Yunzhi held a shopping bag in her other hand.
Fang Xinxin immediately rushed over whilst ncing around.
All of a sudden, a flower pot fell from above and seemed like it would hit Ye Yuznhi.
Mom, be careful!¡± Fang Xinxin shouted loudly and ran forward to push her aside. The two of them fell onto the ground as the flower pot smashed into smithereens by their side.
It did so with a loud mor.
¡°Ah!¡± A passer-by cried out in fright.
Fang Xinxin¡¯splexion was pale as she checked to see if Yu Yunzhi was unharmed. ¡°Mom, are you alright?¡±
Ye Yunzhi was still shaken up badly. Her daughter-inw had rescued her without any concern for herself. Even now, her first priority was ensuring that she was safe.
She could not help but be deeply moved. ¡°Xinxin, are you unharmed?¡±
Chapter 737 - Steal The Opportunity
Chapter 737: Steal The Opportunity
Fang Xinxin made an effort to stand up but realised that her foot was hurting. ¡°I sprained my leg¡¡±
¡°Let Mom take a look. Are you alright?¡± Ye Yunzhi knelt down to check her injury.
¡°Mom, let¡¯s move beneath the shelter first. It¡¯s safer.¡± Ye Yunzhi then supported Fang Xinxin to head beneath the building¡¯s shelter.
Passers-by approached to ask in concern. ¡°Are the both of you ok?¡±
¡°God knows who that trouble-maker was! How could they throw a flower pot down? If it hit anyone, it would definitely have cost their life!¡± A middle-ageddy criticised in anger.
¡°That¡¯s right. Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re really lucky.¡± An old man pointed at Fang Xinxin. ¡°If she didn¡¯t save you, your life would already be lost.¡±
¡°Uncle, she is my mother. Even if I have to exchange my life with hers, it¡¯s only right that I do so.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke. In fact, only Bai Qinghao was worth sacrificing her own life. She would not do so for anyone else.
But who didn¡¯t have the ability to say moving words?
Ye Yunzhi also spoke up. ¡°She¡¯s my daughter-inw.¡±
¡°Good daughters-inw like her are too rare these days. You have to treat her well,¡± Everyone urged her.
¡°Yes, yes. You¡¯re right.¡± Ye Yunzhi nodded.
¡°Let¡¯s go and check the surveince camera records! We have to figure out who exactly did this. They¡¯re too much!¡± The passers-by spoke up.
At this moment, a middle-aged man rushed out of the building.
He apologised incessantly to Ye Yunzhi and Fang Xinxin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m so sorry. I fought with my friend earlier and threw the pot out in a fit of anger. I regretted it immediately. I¡¯m so sorry!¡±
This building was amercial and residential building. The first five floors belonged to a departmental store, while the ten storey above that belonged to residences.
Fang Xinxin red at him in anger. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too much! If someone died, would you pay with your own life?¡±
¡°I¡¯m really sorry!¡± The middle-aged man apologized again. He saw that her leg was injured. ¡°Are you hurt? Quickly go visit the hospital for a check-up.¡±
¡°If something happens to my daughter-inw¡¡± Ye Yunzhi was enraged. ¡°I¡¯ll make you pay with your life!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡± The middle-aged man apologised again sincerely.
Fang Xinxin sized him up. His face appeared rather thin and his eyes were deep-set. He had sharp brows and his skin was dull as though someone had ced a grey filter over it. He appeared like a collected person and did not resemble someone who would throw things down in a feat of anger.
In any case, he appeared like a very rational person.
¡°Which floor do you stay on? What¡¯s your apartment number?¡± Fang Xinxin asked calmly. ¡°Give us your name and phone number.¡±
¡°Why are you asking so much?¡± A hint of wariness shed past his eyes.
Fang Xinxin pointed at her own injury. Earlier, that flower pot was thrown down and it smashed into a thousand pieces. I sprained my leg pushing my mother aside. Of course I¡¯m going to ask for your contact information. Did you think you could run away from this responsibility?¡±
In fact, with her wealthy background, this amount ofpensation was of no importance to her.
However, she felt that this man was not a simple figure. She hoped that she would be able to find something amiss about Bai Jingrou by investigating him.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying. ¡°I live in apartment number 606. My name is Guan Jiping. My phone number is ********. I will transfer the amount of the hospital bills to you when you need them. I have something after this so I won¡¯t be able to apany you to the hospital.¡±
Fang Xinxin decided not to make things difficult for him any further.
¡°Xinxin, let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡± Ye Yunzhi supported her to the car and drove towards the hospital.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s car had arrived across the street at some point and she managed to witness the entire scene.
Chapter 738 - Guan Jiping
Chapter 738: Guan Jiping
She sat in her car and dialed a number. Once the call was connected, she said angrily, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say to throw the flower pot when I arrive? Look what you¡¯ve done. Fang Xinxin rescued Ye Yunzhi. We really gave that whore a free favour!¡±
The middle-aged man named Guan Jiping turned around the corner and headed into an alleyway to answer the call. ¡°I mistook her for you. Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes and hairstyle were both very simr to yours today.¡±
Bai Jingrou suddenly recalled Fang Xinxin¡¯s clothes. She immediately felt a little flustered. ¡°Could she have guessed that I was behind this?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Guan Jipingforted her. ¡°I use a different phone when I contact you. Besides, it¡¯s true that I live on the sixth floor of the Guo Mao Building. It¡¯s also true that I was fighting with a friend, and that I threw the pot in a fit of anger. As for the number I gave to Fang Xinxin, that is the phone number I normally use. Even if she looks into this matter, she won¡¯t be able to find anything.¡±
¡°You really can¡¯t do anything well.¡± Bai Jingrouined in resentment. ¡°You better remember this. Even if you can¡¯t help me, you can¡¯t cause trouble for me.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Guan Jiping then asked carefully. ¡°Are your mother and Chenxi doing well?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to concern yourself with that.¡± Bai Jingrou ended the call in anger.
A slightly helpless expression appeared on Guan Jiping¡¯s tired face. He was useless and the only thing he could do right now was to silently guard them.
Fang Xinxin visited the hospital with Ye Yunzhi¡¯spany and soon after returned to the Bai family¡¯s old mansion.
Bai Qinghao rushed into the living room and saw Fang Xinxin seated on the sofa. He approached her in heartache. ¡°Where¡¯s the injury?¡±
¡°Xinxin sprained her ankle.¡± It was Ye Yunzhi who spoke up. ¡°This was all my fault. If it wasn¡¯t to help me, she wouldn¡¯t have been injured. Thankfully, the doctor said she only needs to rest for a couple days.¡±
Bai Qinghao knelt down before Fang Xinxin and checked her injury.
Ayer of gauze was pasted on her ankle and there was some ointment applied on her skin.
¡°In the future, you have to prioritise your own life first!¡± Bai Qinghao instructed Xinxin seriously. What he meant was that it wasn¡¯t worth putting her own life at risk even if it was for his mother.
Ye Yunzhi nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Daughter-inw, our Qinghao loves you dearly. He won¡¯t be able to take it if something happens to you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Bai Qinghao responded expressionlessly. ¡°If she dies, I¡¯ll apany her.¡±
Fang Xinxin was initially angry but when she heard the words he added, she felt deeply moved.
¡°What if I die, then?¡± Ye Yunzhi could not resist the urge to ask.
Bai Qinghao gave her the best response. ¡°I¡¯ll send you off grandly and take revenge for you.¡±
¡°My good son.¡± Ye Yunzhi was especially satisfied. She wasn¡¯t the type of mother-inw who demanded for her son¡¯s time even after he was married. She believed that children needed their own freedom once they became adults.
Besides, her only son was already standing at the peak of this world. There was no need for her to worry for him.
¡°Send someone to investigate if this incident of high-rise littering was done intentionally or if it was a coincidence.¡± Elder Bai, who was also in the living room, sternly gave this instruction over the phone.
Bai Hong, Bai Qinghao¡¯s father, rushed over at that time. He expressed his sincere gratitude to Fang Xinxin for saving his wife.
Even Bai Jingrou and her family expressed their admiration for Fang Xinxin¡¯s actions. It wasn¡¯t clear what they actually thought about this matter.
The people that Elder Bai sent to investigate this matter reported that Guan Jiping, the middle-aged man, was a delivery worker. He had been single for years and was hardworking. He had a few friends and they all spoke well of him.
Chapter 739 - Blind
Chapter 739: Blind
He did not have any interactions with the Bai family¡¯s people and was a responsible, good citizen.
The high-rise littering incident was most likely an ident.
As Fang Xinxin had saved Ye Yunzhi, her position in the Bai family improved further.
Bai Jingrou had to watch silently while the scheme, which she had prepared, benefited Fang Xinxin. Yet, she could not expose the truth. This left her extremely angered.
It seemed like her methods were too light!
¡
Two dayster, Bai Qinghao supported Fang Xinxin as they strolled through the Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s garden.
¡°You don¡¯t have to support me.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke helplessly. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve already recovered.¡±
For the past two days, he remained closely by her side to take care of her and had dyed his work significantly.
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll hold you.¡± He lifted her into a princess carry and sat down on the reclining chair ahead. He kept her in his arms and ced her on hisp.
She was already used to him holding her in his arms every so often. She leaned against her firm chest and found that she liked it when this cold and ruthless man doted on her.
Ji Qing, one of the maids, stood at a distance and watched as Fang Xinxin shamelessly sat on the man¡¯sp in broad daylight.
She was nearly twenty-six. Yet, she did not have a partner.
Of course, she wouldn¡¯t take a liking to any typical man.
She wanted to climb into her Young Master¡¯s bed. However, he was bewitched by Fang Xinxin and wouldn¡¯t take a single nce at any other women.
It seemed like, if she hoped to obtain Young Master¡¯s favour, she would only have the opportunity to do so when Fang Xinxin was dead!
Ji Qing¡¯s expression was filled with jealousy.
Bai Jingrou stood before the windows in her room in Jing Xin Residence. The windows were half-shut. She held a pair of binocrs in her hand as she observed Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao for a moment. She then shifted the binocrs and saw the burning rage on Ji Qing¡¯s expression.
Someone who dreamt of climbing into their master¡¯s bed¡
However, it wasn¡¯t too bad to have foolish people like her who dreamed of the impossible. She was very fond of them as tools.
Bai Jingrou smirked mockingly.
In the yard, Fang Xinxin moved on Bai Qinghao¡¯sp to face him.
Her bright, sparkling gaze was fixated on his handsome features. She barely blinked. It was as though she couldn¡¯t have enough of him.
¡°Why do you appear so focused?¡± His heavy, cold voice was extremely gentle.
¡°I¡¯m looking at you.¡± She sighed softly. ¡°I wish I could look at you forever.¡±
In her previous lifetime, she had lost her sight for several years from this moment onwards.
There were too many beautiful views she loved in this world.
She took in his charming features and his figure. She wished to look at him forever.
Bai Qinghao returned her gaze and noticed a hint of sadness in her eyes. His heart tightened. ¡°Xinxin, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
She lifted her hand and caressed his face. ¡°Bai Qinghao, you say, if I be blind one day and am no longer able to see you, what do we do?¡±
He frowned and responded firmly. ¡°That won¡¯t happen!¡±
She insisted. ¡°I¡¯m just saying, what if¡¡±
¡°There are no ¡®what ifs¡¯!¡± He embraced her tightly as though to press her into one being with him. ¡°I won¡¯t allow anyone to hurt you in the slightest.¡±
She hugged his waist tightly and recalled that right after she became blind in their previous life, he had shot the maid who blinded her to death. He then found countless famous doctors to treat her.
She once heard him telling a doctor that he needed to cure her no matter what it cost.
Initially, she had been deeply moved because he guarded her side closely, refusing to leave.
Gradually, however, he appeared in front of her less frequently.
At the time, Bai Jingrou¡¯s instigations led her to believe that he disdained her now that she was blind.
In truth, it was because his health had deteriorated and he needed to receive treatment in the hospital. At the time, he had already been doing his best to spend as much time as he could with her.
Chapter 740 - Previous Life’s Events
Chapter 740: Previous Life¡¯s Events
He had an old injury near his heart. In the past, she often angered him and caused him to lose control due to his emotions. At that time, his heart had nearly copsed.
Thankfully, in this life, she had finally woken up and learned to treasure his feelings. She did not provoke him the way she did in the past.
His current health status appeared to be very good.
After she became blind, the Bai family had urged him to divorce her. However, he did not listen to any of their words.
Instead, the people who mentioned a divorce in any way suffered badly.
Just as it happened in the past, Bai Hong requested for Bai Qinghao¡¯s opinion in some of the political affairs he was managing.
An hourter, Bai Qinghao urged her to rest well and left the old Bai family¡¯s mansion.
Fang Xinxin sat alone on the reclining chair and checked her phone for the time.
In her previous life, she returned to her room several minutes from now. She was then knocked out by someone.
In her unconscious state, she had felt something being ced on her eyes. It caused a burning sensation and the pain had woken her up. After that, she lost her sight and suffered a life without vision till the moment she died.
In this life, she absolutely would not allow the same thing to happen.
Fang Xinxin stood up and slowly headed into the old mansion¡¯s main building. She headed up the stairs and strolled into a room.
A maid quickly followed her in. She raised the baseball bat in her hands and swung it heavily towards Fang Xinxin.
To her shock, Fang Xinxin shifted towards the side as though she had a pair of eyes on the back of her head. As she ced too much force in her swing, the person staggered forward.
Fang Xinxin took a clear look at the person who had ambushed her. It was Ji Qing, one of the maids who worked here.
She was the Elder¡¯s personal maid and had previously worked at the Yu Ting Vi for some time.
After Ji Qing missed, she spun around and swung the bat towards her once more with a shout. ¡°Whore, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
Fang Xinxin stood without moving. The current her was toozy to deal with someone like Ji Qing.
Liu Li, who had been hiding behind the door, immediately sent Ji Qing flying with a kick.
Ji Qing¡¯s body was flung several metres away. She mmed against the wall before falling onto the ground.
¡°Ah!¡± She cried out miserably in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
¡°Speak! Who sent you to attack Madam? What did you n to do to Madam?¡± Liu Li approached her and pressed his feet against her back.
Fang Xinxin watched the whole scene expressionlessly. Internally, however, she felt a lot of different emotions.
In fact, in her previous life, Bai Qinghao had also sent Liu Li to protect her. However, she hated him strongly at the time. How could she possibly ept his good intention?
At the time, she had chased Liu Li away and it was only then that Ji Qing had the opportunity to attack.
After she became blind, Bai Qinghao had been worried that she would be bullied. He specially invited a famous coach to teach her how to fight. Thus, despite being blind, she had some goodbat skills.
Furthermore, she also had her own special abilities to rely on. It was more than simple for her to deal with a maid.
However, since there wasn¡¯t any need, she could not be bothered to deal with this herself.
Thus, she instead instructed Liu Li to hide in preparation to handle this.
¡°Fang Xinxin, this vixen, has bewitched the Young Master! She shows off her rtionship with him in the garden every single day. Is there a need for someone to instruct me to deal with her?¡± Ji Qing smiled mockingly. ¡°I simply wish to give her a good beating and to teach her a lesson.¡±
Fang Xinxin held her forehead. ¡°My husband and I can do however we please in our own family¡¯s yard. No one asked you to watch us. You fucking think I¡¯m a vixen for seducing my husband?¡± Her gaze turned cold. ¡°Don¡¯t think I haven¡¯t noticed. Your gaze is always green with envy when you watch Bai Qinghao with me. You must be dreaming of the day he¡¯ll take you in, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Ji Qing suddenly appeared agitated. ¡°Previously, Young Master clearly told me that I¡¯m intelligent and capable. He even transferred me to the Yu Ting Vi to work for him. Young Master really likes me! If it wasn¡¯t for you, we would already be together.¡±

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°You¡¯re a maid. Isn¡¯t it normal for him topliment you if you did well in your job?¡± Fang Xinxin looked at her as though she had gone insane. ¡°I¡¯ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since we were children. It¡¯s only normal that we got married. I think you must have gone delusional from dreaming about being a third party!¡±
¡°I will only have the opportunity to be with Young Master if I eliminate you.¡± Ji Qing red at her hatefully. ¡°You are the one obstructing my happiness. It¡¯s you!¡±
¡°It seems like there¡¯s no point in reasoning with you.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke indifferently. ¡°Search her body and see if there are any potential items she was nning to use to harm me. Treat her exactly how she nned to treat me.¡±
¡°Yes, Madam.¡± Liu Li immediately searched Ji Qing¡¯s clothes and discovered a packet of powder. ¡°I¡¯m not sure how this is meant to be used?¡±
¡°Feed it to me.¡± Ji Qing said, ¡°I was nning to feed it to you forcefully.¡± She knew she could not escape punishment and decided to choose the less painful route. Although the drug contained poison, consuming it would cause less harm.
¡°Pour it on her eyes.¡± Fang Xinxin instructed coldly.
When Ji Qing heard this, she was immediately frightened into begging for forgiveness. ¡°Madam, please forgive me!¡±
¡°This powder won¡¯t take your life. You nned on rubbing it against my eyes, but it¡¯s unfortunate that I don¡¯t have the ability to receive your kind intentions. Why don¡¯t you try it yourself?¡± Fang Xinxin waved her hand expressionlessly.
Liu Li immediately held Ji Qing down and poured the powder against her eyes. She immediately began shrieking miserably. ¡°Elder, please save me! Elder! Fang Xinxin, this evil woman, she is trying to murder me¡¡±
¡°Write out a contract dering that she is suffering the consequences of her own actions and make her sign it. Lock her up first and interrogate her to find out the person behind her.¡± Fang Xinxin instructed him.
Liu Li immediately began carrying out her orders.
Fang Xinxin headed down the stairs from the third floor.
Bai Jingrou was standing by the staircase on the first floor ncing upwards. When she saw that Fang Xinxin was unharmed, a hint of disappointment shed past her refined expression.
¡°Are you checking to see if I¡¯ve gone blind?¡± Fang Xinxin spoke coldly.
¡°I don¡¯t understand what Cousin-inw is saying.¡± Bai Jingrou further rified. ¡°Earlier, I was taking a stroll nearby when I heard amotion. I came to take a look because I was curious.¡±
Fang Xinxin took in Bai Jingrou¡¯s beautiful, innocent expression.
This woman could seamlessly hypnotise others and was very good at taking advantage of other people¡¯s greed and unkind thoughts.
Ji Qing had likely been controlled by Bai Jingrou in this matter.
However, there wasn¡¯t any concrete evidence that she could use. Perhaps, even Ji Qing herself was unaware that she had been hypnotised. Although she had the video of Bai Jingrou hypnotising Butler Bai Mingde, it did not indicate that she was involved in this matter.
¡°Earlier, it seems like the Elder¡¯s personal maid offended you?¡± Bai Jingrou asked softly. ¡°You handled the Elder¡¯s people without asking for his opinion first. Aren¡¯t you being too disrespectful to him?¡±
¡°I¡¯m the Bai family¡¯sdy. I have the right to manage the staff here.¡± Fang Xinxin did not pay her any attention. She sat down on the sofa and turned on the television.
A momentter, the Elder returned from his stroll outside. Bai Jingrou immediatelyined to him. ¡°Grandfather, Cousin-inw instructed someone to make Ji Qing, your maid, blind! I told her that Ji Qing is your personal maid and that she ought to give you some face, but Cousin-inw refused!¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Elder Bai Chongshan lifted his face. His wrinkled features appeared slightly stern.
¡°Grandfather, though Ji Qing is only a maid, she served you personally for many years. Normally, she is also rather intelligent and capable.¡± Bai Jingrou put on apassionate act.. ¡°Even if she made Cousin-inw upset, it¡¯s still a little too much to blind her.¡±
Chapter 742 - Throw Her In The Sea
Chapter 742: Throw Her In The Sea
¡°Why is it too much?¡± Bai Chongshan was unmoved. ¡°Xinxin is my Bai family¡¯s proper granddaughter-inw. She has the right to manage the Bai family¡¯s servants however she likes.¡±
Bai Jingrou did not expect the Elder to be this biased towards Fang Xinxin. She was angered to the point where she felt like vomiting blood. However, she put on a fake smile. ¡°Grandfather is right.¡±
Bai Chongshan seemed to have thought of something and frowned unhappily. ¡°Jingrou, in the future, don¡¯t carelessly use your cousin-inw of crossing the line. An outsider like you does not have the right to judge the Bai family¡¯s matters. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Grandfather¡¡± Bai Jingrou did not expect the old thing to say this. The anger in her heart immediately worsened.
Bai Chongshan took in the dissatisfaction on her face. His expression immediately turned cold. ¡°Previously, when I was nearly stabbed by Hao Changsheng, it was your cousin-inw who sent someone to protect me. Furthermore, your aunt Ye Yunzhi¡¯s life was also saved by Fang Xinxin. In the Bai family, Xinxin is an important benefactor of ours and no one has the right to insult her.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Bai Jingrou lowered her head.
Bai Chongshan seemed to guess that she was upset. ¡°If you¡¯re not happy about this, haven¡¯t you already found your blood rtive? I believe that Old Long will wee you at his home. You can leave anytime you please.¡±
Bai Jingrou urgently dered. ¡°It¡¯s true that my grandfather, Long Jingyuan, is happy to wee me. But I¡¯m not someone who will forget about the kindness others have shown me. It was the Bai family that raised me. The Bai family will always be my home.¡±
Her fanciful words sounded sincere. Truthfully, however, Long Jingyuan had only given her two million dors and bought her some clothes and essories. She had not received anything else from him.
That Old Long had even stopped her from stepping into the Long Group¡¯s management.
It was different staying in the Bai home. Every month, she had a significant sum of pocket money. Every season, she also received clothes and make-up¡ Every three to five years, she got a new car.
It wasn¡¯t as if the Long family would run away. There was no harm in holding onto the both of them and receiving twice the benefits.
Besides, remaining in the Bai family was the only way of growing close to Bai Qinghao.
Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to obtain any opportunities to meet Bai Qinghao.
Bai Jingrou nced surreptitiously at Fang Xinxin.
She wouldn¡¯t be as foolish as the stupid Fang Manxue who seduced Bai Qinghao without knowing her own worth.
She would only have the opportunity to be Madam Bai after thoroughly eliminating Fang Xinxin, who was the greatest obstacle in her path.
She refused to believe it. If Fang Xinxin died, would Bai Qinghao possibly die with her?
She had countless vicious thoughts, yet she spoke apologetically to Fang Xinxin on the surface. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Cousin-inw. I was a little disrespectful earlier. I shouldn¡¯t have been sopassionate to the point where I even tried to stand up for the maid.¡±
Fang Xinxin raised her brows. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that you werepassionate in any way.¡±
A hint of humiliation appeared on Bai Jingrou¡¯s refined facade. She forced out a smile and said a few polite words before leaving.
Elder Bai Chongshan smiled dotingly at Fang Xinxin. ¡°Granddaughter-inw, don¡¯t mind an outsider. In the Bai home, Grandfather will always be on your side.¡±
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved.
¡
Several hourster, Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates received news that the unknown woman who previously threatened Gao Ru was Ji Qing.
Bai Qinghao learned that Ji Qing had tried to hurt Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes. He immediatelymanded his people to tie Ji Qing to a heavy boulder and toss her into the sea.
The stunning, boundless ocean rippled for but a moment.
That night, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had been intimate once in their room when someone knocked against their door.
¡°Who is it?¡± Bai Qinghao responded with some irritation.
¡°Young Master, it¡¯s me.¡± It was Yu Ting Vi¡¯s Butler Zhao Cheng¡¯s voice. ¡°I have something to report to you.¡±
Chapter 743 - Headlines
Chapter 743: Headlines
¡°Wait for me in the study.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
Bai Qinghao put on his clothes and headed for the study. The Yu Ting Vi¡¯s Butler, Zhao Cheng, was already waiting for him.
When Zhao Cheng saw him, he immediately brought out a stack of newly developed pictures. ¡°Young Master, please look at these photos¡¡±
The photos were of the disfigured Fang Manxue. She appeared to be covered in bruises and suffering from miserable beatings in the prison. ¡°This was received from Zhen You, a reporter from Jing Hua Newspaper Office. ording to him, someone ns on writing an article with these photos, iming that it was Madam Fang Xinxin who caused Fang Manxue to be disfigured. They also arranged for someone to secretly take photos of Fang Manxue being beaten up in prison and n on criticising Madam for arranging this ¡®care¡¯ for Fang Manxue.¡±
Ever since someone wrote an article about Fang Xinxin purchasing haunted apartments in a bid to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck, Bai Qinghao informed all media outlets that they were not allowed to write any articles that would affect Fang Xinxin negatively. If they wanted to do so, they needed to first receive his permission. Otherwise, they would be going against the Bai family intentionally.
No one dared to offend the Bai family.
Thus, this article that would harm Fang Xinxin was immediately suppressed and a report was made to him.
¡°These photos are meant to be tomorrow¡¯s news headlines. Jing Hua Newspaper Company is afraid of offending you. Young Master, how would you like this to be handled?¡± Butler Zhao Cheng awaited his orders.
Bai Qinghao possessed an aura unique to a ruler.
He said heavily, ¡°Tomorrow¡¯s headlines will continue to be about Fang Manxue¡¯s disfigurement. However, the contents are to be changed. Find a female prisoner who has a grudge against Fang Manxue to take the me. Write that she was the one who disfigured Fang Manxue. Additionally, make the readers assume that Fang Manxue was the one who intentionally caused trouble in prison, and that she deserved to be beaten up.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Butler Zhao Cheng immediately left to carry out his orders. On his way out of the study room, he noticed Fang Xinxin approaching and greeted her respectfully. He then took his leave.
Fang Xinxin had been outside the door earlier and overheard their conversation.
She approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side and embraced him from behind. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re so good to me.¡±
No one could nder her through the media outlets again.
Even if she had truly been the person behind Fang Manxue¡¯s disfigurement.
As for the beatings she had been suffering daily in prison, they were most likely the ¡®care¡¯ Bai Qinghao had specially arranged for her.
Bai Qinghao turned to the side and tugged her onto hisp. He embraced her thin waist and pressed a kiss against her fair cheek. ¡°You¡¯re my wife. If I don¡¯t treat you well, who should I be treating well?¡±
She leaned into his embrace and felt especially content.
¡
The next morning, Bai Jingrou reached for her phone the moment she got out of bed.
She saw that the headlines were rted to Fang Manxue¡¯s disfigurement and immediately smiled viciously.
Fang Xinxin, that whore, would soon gain a terrible reputation now that everyone knew she had disfigured her own sister.
To her shock, she read through the contents and saw that the article imed that it was a female prisoner who had disfigured Fang Manxue. It even imed that Fang Manxue¡¯s actions had led her to suffer beatings in the prison.
She was angered to the point where smoke was nearly emitting from the top of her head.
It hadn¡¯t been easy obtaining photos of Fang Manxue¡¯s disfigurement and beatings that she suffered. She had nned to rely on theizens¡¯ power to draw significant criticism onto Fang Xinxin, and drag her into jail through charges of intentional injury.
She did not expect the article¡¯s intention to change this drastically.
To think that a woman prisoner would be med for Fang Manxue¡¯s disfigurement. In the future, even if this matter was dragged back onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s head, no one would believe it.
Bai Jingrou was intelligent and immediately understood that Bai Qinghao was the one behind this.
It seemed like even if she possessed any news that would damage Fang Xinxin¡¯s reputation, there wouldn¡¯t be any media outlets that would be willing to receive it.
Chapter 744 - New Trick
Chapter 744: New Trick
Bai Jingrou was extremely angry. At the same time, however, she also felt some fear.
She had investigated secretly and learned that Ji Qing, who was previously locked up in the storeroom, had disappeared. It was as though she had vanished from the face of this earth. It was likely she was already dead.
It seemed like taking a gradual approach against Fang Xinxin was no longer a good idea.
She needed to eliminate her with one blow and settle this once and for all.
¡
Recently, Fang Xinxin felt especially happy everyday.
This was because she had already gone blind in her previous life around this time. In this life, however, her vision remained as sharp as ever.
However, she did not let her guard down.
For her, an extremely life-threatening event would ur at around 5:00 p.m. in the evening today.
Based on her recollections, a servant from the old mansion would soone to inform her that Bai Qinghao was inviting her to a restaurant outside for a meal.
At that time, she had followed the servant out and in the end, a car sent her flying on the streets. Thankfully, she did not pass away from the event. However, her body was paralysed for the rest of her life.
In her blind and paralysed state, Bai Jingrou and her family had criticised her for running about the streets despite being blind.
As she had already offended all the Bai family¡¯s elders by then, aside from Bai Qinghao, no one from the Bai family supported her.
She even tried tomit suicide twice, but was stopped by Bai Qinghao on both asions.
Back then, the fake Fang Ln¡¯s identity was not exposed. Fang Manxue had also been safe and well.
Bai Qinghao had made use of the Fang family¡¯s safety to threaten her into remaining alive.
In this lifetime, the fake Fang Ln was already dead. Fang Manxue had also received the punishment she deserved. She had been disfigured and suffered daily beatings in prison.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes were also unharmed.
Naturally, she also would not allow anyone tond her in that paralysed state once more.
As expected, an unfamiliar maid hurried over to her side and politely said, ¡°Madam, Young Master informed me to take you to ¡®Imperial Capital¡¯ Restaurant for a meal. The table has already been reserved. Would you like to head over there now?¡±
Fang Xinxin leaned back against the reclining chair in the yard. Her gaze was cold as she sized the maid up. ¡°What¡¯s your name? What are your duties here? I¡¯ve been in the old mansion for quite some time now but I¡¯ve never met you. Look into my eyes and answer my questions!¡±
The maid did not expect her to ask this. She faltered for a moment before returning her gaze. ¡°I am Ah Cai. I was newly hired to take care of the gardens.¡±
¡°Who was it that hired you?¡±
¡°It was¡ Butler Bai.¡±
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and dialled the old Butler Bai Mingde¡¯s number. He responded that he did not hire someone like this.
Ah Cai lowered her head and peeked at Fang Xinxin secretly. She wasn¡¯t sure what the person on the other end of the call told her. She felt uncertain and flustered.
¡°Who sent you to harm me?¡± Fang Xinxin asked casually.
A hint of panic shed past Ah Cai¡¯s expression. ¡°Madam, I¡¯m not sure what you¡¯re talking about.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao is away on a business trip and will only return tomorrow. How could he possibly invite me to dinner?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°Moreover, Butler Bai says that he never hired you.¡±
Ah Cai knew that she waspletely seen through and immediately thought to escape. However, her expression suddenly turned ck and her movements became stiff.
¡°Go on. Change into a new set of clothes and rece Fang Xinxin to go meet Bai Qinghao.¡±
A voice repeated endlessly in her mind.
Ah Cai¡¯s gaze was nk as she followed the instructions.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze was frigid cold as she watched her from behind.
In her previous life, after her ident, Bai Qinghao had sent someone to capture Ah Cai. However, she had stubbornly refused to reveal the person behind the ident even if it meant it would cause her own life.
As for that driver who hit her, he had killed himself on the spot ¡®out of fear¡¯.
Someone was putting in this much effort to paralyse or even kill her.
Chapter 745 - Unlikely Discovery
Chapter 745: Unlikely Discovery
It surely wasn¡¯t easy looking for someone who had the courage to kill himself right after the ident.
How could she let their effort go to waste?
Fang Xinxin had special powers. The highest level of her powers enabled her to move through objects. Inparison, controlling someone¡¯s thoughts through hypnotisation was much easier.
Indeed, she had hypnotised Ah Cai. At the very least, she needed to ensure that this car ident event would pass without affecting her.
At 5:00 in the evening, Fang Xinxin visited a coffee shop. She sat on the second storey in a seat right next to the windows. She watched as Ah Cai made her way through the streets. A ck sedan car charged right towards her and sent her flying in a split second.
Ah Cai¡¯s figure was akin to that of a kite with a broken string. She flew across the air andnded on the ground, covered in blood.
As Fang Xinxin watched this scene, memories of her own car ident reyed in her mind.
¡°Ah! There¡¯s a car ident! Quickly, make a police report!¡± A passer-by cried out.
A crowd began to form around the fallen figure. The driver pushed them aside and headed in to see that Ah Cai wasying on the ground. Hisplexion turned pale as he murmured to himself.
Fang Xinxin paid close attention to his lips and concluded that his words said, ¡°It¡¯s the wrong person¡¡±
As expected, the car ident had been a scheme.
Ah Cai passed away on the spot while the driver was arrested. Naturally, he was interrogated for his motives.
However, the driver was especially stubborn. He refused to confess to anything and insisted that the incident was an ident.
Fang Xinxin headed back to the old Bai family¡¯s mansion. When Bai Jingrou saw that she was unharmed, a hint of shock shed past her eyes.
Although it disappeared quickly, Fang Xinxin still noticed it.
¡°Miss Bai, you seem very surprised that I returned home alive?¡± Fang Xinxin smiled indifferently.
¡°Cousin-inw, I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about.¡± Bai Jingrou put on an innocent expression. ¡°Are you in a bad mood because Cousin is away on a business trip?¡±
¡°You understand what I¡¯m saying.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly.
¡°I really don¡¯t understand. Won¡¯t you exin it to me?¡± Bai Jingrou asked humbly.
Fang Xinxin did not waste her breath on her any further. She turned and headed up to the main bedroom on the third storey.
[I told you to pay close attention to Bai Jingrou secretly. Have you found anything?] Fang Xinxin sent Ya Lun a message.
Bai Jingrou was not a simple figure. If she sent Detective Chi Minzhe to watch her, he would easily give himself away.
In contrast, there was nothing to worry about if she left it to Ya Lun, the second-inmand of an underground organisation.
Ever since Fang Shaohua¡¯s case was resolved, Ya Lun resigned from his job as a lecturer at Jing Hua University and returned to his original job.
Ya Lun responded: [I was just about to message you. I found something big. Auntie Qiu, the old maid in your home previously sought Bai Jingrou out secretly. Bai Jingrou paid her a hundred thousand dors in cash but Auntie Qiu quickly died in a car ident thereafter. The person who hit her was Wang Xun. You know who Wang Xun is, don¡¯t you? He was the person who killed Ah Cai, the fake gardener.]
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. Auntie Qiu, that old woman, was a maid previously employed in the Fang family¡¯s vi. She had followed Fang Ln for many years and Fang Liyin had been very fond of her. She wasn¡¯t a simple figure.
Afterwards, when Fang Ln¡¯s body was found and all the Fang family¡¯s staff were dismissed, Auntie Qiu disappeared.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Auntie Qiu and Bai Jingrou to interact.
Fang Xinxin immediately typed: [Did you find out why Bai Jingrou gave Auntie Qiu money?]
Ya Lun analysed and replied: [There aren¡¯t any clues for the time being. However, it¡¯s very likely that it had been to seal her lips. She even murdered her to keep her silent. It¡¯s likely that something very important is being hidden.]
Chapter 746 - Unconnected Clues
Chapter 746: Unconnected Clues
Fang Xinxin urged him: [I don¡¯t need you to tell me that. Hurry up and investigate further.]
He responded with an emoticon of an ¡®OK¡¯ gesture.
That evening, Fang Xinxin headed to the thirty-eight storey of Jia Ya Hospital to visit her father.
She sat by his bedside and took in the sight of her unconscious father.
She sighed. ¡°Dad, you¡¯ve been asleep for nearly five years. When will you finally wake up?¡±
Long Yifan, who was in aa, did not respond to her.
¡°It¡¯s alright. Even if you remain like this forever, as long as you¡¯re still alive, I would still have a living rtive. This alone makes me content.¡± Although she knew that her father could not respond to her, she could not help but chatter on by his side.
A female nurse entered the room. She reced the IV drip for Long Yifan.
Long Yifan was in aa and could not consume any food. He relied on an IV drip to sustain his life.
Fang Xinxin nced at her. Although she had a mask on, Fang Xinxin noticed through her eyes, eyshes and bangs that this was an unfamiliar nurse. She then checked her name tag which read ¡®Li Jie¡¯.
¡°Where is Nurse Liang Chen, who used to take care of my father?¡± Fang Xinxin asked casually.
Nurse Li Jie spoke with some pity. ¡°She fell off a cliff when she went for a trip to the mountains and passed away. I was recently transferred over by the hospital to take care of Mr. Long Yifan.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned.
Liang Chen actually died from a fall? Auntie Qiu had just passed away. To think that she also died.
Could it be this coincidental?
For some reason, Fang Xinxin felt that Liang Chen¡¯s death was rted to Bai Jingrou.
However¡
One was Auntie Qiu, a maid who used to work at the Fang Vi, and the other was a nurse who took care of her father. Between the two of them, what were themonalities?
Fang Xinxin instructed Ya Lun to investigate the two of them. However, he found that there wasn¡¯t anything linking the two of them in their background, ages, etc.
The only simrity they shared was that they both previously served the Fang family¡¯s people.
Liang Chen was specially tasked with caring for her father, Long Yifan. Auntie Qiu had the ability to interact with everyone in the Fang family.
Their deaths were definitely meant to conceal a secret and this secret had to be rted to the Fang family¡¯s people.
Fang Xinxin could not think of anything.
However¡
As she took in the sight of her father on the hospital bed, she began to worry.
If something could happen to her father¡¯s nurse, her father could also be at risk.
Thus, she gave Bai Qinghao a call. ¡°Hubby, could you send a doctor to secretly examine the safety of all the things my father has been using? Including the medicine he has been given.¡±
Bai Qinghao, who was in the midst of a business trip, seemed to have sensed something. He did not ask any questions and immediately responded. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for Doctor Shi to investigate and I¡¯ll tighten the security around Father¡¯s hospital room.¡±
Ever since they married, he began to address Long Yifan as ¡®Father¡¯.
¡°Thank you, Hubby,¡± Fang Xinxin said sincerely.
¡°We¡¯re husband and wife. What¡¯s there to be polite about?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice conveyed a hint of worry. ¡°Wife, have you noticed something amiss?¡±
¡°I just have the feeling that someone will try to harm my father.¡±
¡°I promise you that no one will be able to touch him.¡±
¡°En.¡± She was deeply moved and nodded. He had never once broken a promise made to her.
After ending the call, she recalled that Grandfather Long Jingyuan had yet to inform her of his safety today.
Ever since she reminded him of his soon-to-be death, she requested that he give her a message or a call everyday.
He usually contacted her around this time everyday. Today, however, there wasn¡¯t any news from him. She decided to give him a call.
However, after five attempts, her calls remained unanswered.
She felt a sense of foreboding.
Chapter 747 - Jeopardy
Chapter 747: Jeopardy
Fang Xinxin instructed her bodyguard and chauffeur, Tong Yu, to drive her from the hospital to the Long family¡¯s vi. At the same time, she requested Bai Qinghao to arrange for more than twenty bodyguards to apany her.
When she arrived at the Long family¡¯s entrance, the bodyguard watching the gates refused to let her in.
¡°I am Fang Xinxin. I have a meeting with Director Long. Open the gates!¡± Fang Xinxin lowered the window and said.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment. ¡°But¡¡± The director¡¯s granddaughter herself had instructed him not to allow Fang Xinxin into the Long family¡¯s mansion.
¡°Didn¡¯t your Director Long instruct you that regardless of the time, you are not allowed to stop me from entering the Long family¡¯s vi?¡± For the sake of Long Jingyuan¡¯s safety, Fang Xinxin had requested he give this instruction to all the Long family¡¯s bodyguards.
¡°He did.¡± The bodyguard immediately gave in. ¡°Please go ahead.¡±
Fang Xinxin led an army of cars into the Long family¡¯s front yard and stopped right before the door.
Fang Xinxin instructed the moment she alighted. ¡°Immediately begin looking for Director Long!¡±
¡°Yes, Madam.¡±
A group of bodyguards rushed into the Long family¡¯s vi¡¯s living room. A middle-aged man led a group of male servants to stop them. ¡°Who are you? Who gave you the courage to enter the Long family¡¯s home!¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression was cold as she stated. ¡°I am Fang Xinxin. I came to look for Director Long!¡±
¡°So it¡¯s Miss Fang.¡± The middle-aged man introduced himself. ¡°I am this mansion¡¯s butler, Gong Hua.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t Director Long inform you all that I am to be treated as a VIP guest?¡±
¡°He did¡¡± Gong Hua nodded with some hesitation.
¡°In that case, you will inform Director Long to meet me immediately.¡±
¡°The Director is currently resting. No one is allowed to disturb him.¡± Guo Hua¡¯s attitude was a little firm.
However, Fang Xinxin noticed a hint of poorly concealed anxiety in his gaze. She did not waste her breath on him. She waved her hand and her bodyguards immediately took down the Long family¡¯s servants. Then they charged upstairs to search for him.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin felt a hint of danger suffocating her. She felt sincerely worried for Long Jingyuan¡¯s safety.
She felt that if she was even half a minutete, he would be in danger.
Thus, she brought her phone out and immediately dialed Bai Jingrou¡¯s number.
In a certain bedroom on the third floor of the Long family¡¯s mansion, Long Jingyuanid unconscious on the bed. There was an open wound on his forehead and the bed was covered in blood.
Bai Jingrou held a cup in her hands. She dissolved a tablet in it and spoke viciously. ¡°You stupid old man. You tell me, you already have one foot in the grave, what¡¯s the point in holding so tightly onto the Long family¡¯s inheritance? Who asked you to guard against me as though I¡¯m a thief! Once you eat this, you¡¯ll die in your dreams. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely inherit the great Long family which has a hundred years of history.¡±
She pinched Long Jingyuan¡¯s chin and was about to feed him the water in the cup.
All of a sudden, her phone rang. She nced at the screen and saw that it was actually a call from Fang Xinxin!
Although she had saved that Fang woman¡¯s phone number, the two of them had a poor rtionship and rarely interacted with each other. Why would she suddenly call her?
She hesitated to answer when suddenly, she heard a flurry of footsteps heading up the stairs. It was clear that a crowd hade to charge into the Long home.
She understood the situation and immediately stood up to head into the washroom. She poured the water in her cup into the toilet bowl and washed it clean in the sink.
She then returned to her bed and picked up a handkerchief to press it against Long Jingyuan¡¯s bleeding wound.
Fang Xinxin hurried up the stairs and heard a phone ring from one of the rooms. She immediately brought her bodyguards to kick the door.
With a loud noise, the door was kicked open. Bai Jingrou stood up in fright. When she saw who it was, she immediately raised her voice in rage. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you actually brought so many people to trespass into someone else¡¯s home!¡±
Chapter 748 - Venomous Scheme
Chapter 748: Venomous Scheme
Fang Xinxin made for a powerful sight as she led a crowd of bodyguards into the room. She saw that Long Jingyuan¡¯s forehead was covered in blood and hisplexion was pale, as though he had already stopped breathing.
She immediately felt nervous to the point where her heart began pounding loudly.
For some reason, though she did not interact much with Long Jingyuan, she was terrified that he would die.
It was as though she would lose someone very important if he died. She couldn¡¯t identify the reason behind the strong sense of uncertainty that had overtaken her.
She quickly approached the bed and shoved Bai Jingrou aside. She checked Long Jingyuan¡¯s breath and noticed that he was still breathing.
She heaved a small sigh of relief and turned to re at Bai Jingrou harshly. ¡°You tried to murder Director Long?¡±
Bai Jingrou criticised her in rage. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you¡¯re full of nonsense. Long Jingyuan is my grandfather and my only living rtive. How could I possibly murder him?¡±
¡°I heard Grandfather shouting very loudly. When I ran in, I saw that someone had smashed a vase against his forehead and was about to stab him with a knife. I was the one who scared him away with my shouts. Bai Jingrou pointed at the open window. ¡°Look. He escaped through the window. I was the one who saved Grandfather.¡±
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered with her nonsense at the moment. She saw that Long Jingyuan¡¯s wound was still bleeding heavily. She immediately brought out some medicine to stop his bleeding and a bandage. She dipped the bandage into the medicine and pressed it against his wound. It finally stopped bleeding.
Recently, there were always a lot of troubling matters. Thus, she had developed the habit of carrying such medicine on her at all times.
¡°Immediately send Long Jingyuan to Jia Ya Hospital!¡± Fang Xinxinmanded her people.
¡°Yes, Madam.¡± The bodyguards lifted Long Jingyuan up to bring him away.
Bai Jingrou shouted in anger. ¡°Wait a minute, Fang Xinxin. What gives you the right to bring my grandfather away? Even if he needs to be sent to the hospital, I should be the one doing it!¡±
However, she was blocked by a group of bodyguards and could only watch as Long Jingyuan was carried out of the room.
¡°Servants, servants!¡± Bai Jingrou raised her voice.
She did not receive any response. When she headed to the living room on the first floor, she finally noticed a group of servants on the floor. They were covered in bruises and were moaning in pain.
Clearly, Fang Xinxin¡¯s bodyguards had beaten them up.
The Long family¡¯s servants naturally did not have the ability to go against the Bai family¡¯s well-trained bodyguards.
However, Elder Long¡¯s bodyguards could.
Around two months ago, Long Jingyuan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He hired fifty bodyguards to ensure his safety.
All of his food and drinks were tested. He would only consume them when they were proven not to contain any poison.
Even when she tried to approach him, his bodyguards remained by his side.
Thus, she did not have any opportunity to kill him.
Bai Jingrou was extremely intelligent. She naturally understood that Long Jingyuan had grown wary of her and was even suspicious of her.
Thus, she could only quietly wait for an opportunity.
Although Long Jingyuan had a strong will and it was normally impossible for her to hypnotise him, thankfully, the old thing was still an old thing.
He fell ill. When someone was sick, their consciousness would grow weaker. She was able to find a loophole in his willpower to hypnotise him.
Under her hypnosis, Long Jingyuan made amand to divert away the bodyguards who usually stuck closely by his side.
Originally, she had nned on making Long Jingyuan leave in a car and arrange for an ident to happen.
However, she had just given the instructions over the phone when she heard Long Jingyuan speaking in heartache. ¡°Jingrou, it turns out that you¡¯re really after my life!¡±
She saw that Long Jingyuan, who was originally sitting dazed on the bed, now appeared fully conscious.
Even when people with strong will power were hypnotised, they would quickly regain consciousness. It seemed like Long Jingyuan was someone like that.
She was frightened into dropping her phone. She immediately knelt down and cried in fright. ¡°Grandfather, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been misled by greed. I am your only granddaughter, your only rtive in this world! Please let me off!¡±
Chapter 749 - In The Nick Of Time
Chapter 749: In The Nick Of Time
A hint ofplexity shed past Long Jingyuan¡¯s gaze. As he hesitated, Bai Jingrou quickly reached for the flower vase on the table and smashed it against his head.
With a loud mour, a gushing wound appeared on Long Jingyuan¡¯s forehead.
Since Bai Jingrou had already revealed her intentions to kill him, she decided to personally send him to his death. After all, this was her only opportunity to kill him.
Once Long Jingyuan died, considering he did not have any other living family members, wouldn¡¯t the Long Group¡¯s business with over a hundred years of history belong to her?
As for how he died, at the end of the day, wasn¡¯t she the one who got to decide it?
Who would have thought that Fang Xinxin, this whore, would interrupt her!
Right now, she could only pray that Long Jingyuan would pass away. Otherwise, she would be doomed once he woke up!
Bai Jingrou quickly got into her car and followed closely behind Fang Xinxin to Jia Ya Hospital.
The moment they arrived at the hospital, Long Jingyuan was immediately brought into the surgery room for emergency rescue.
Fang Xinxin stood in the hallway outside the operating theatre. She felt very anxious and uncertain.
Bai Jingrou rushed to her side and waited nervously. ¡°Dear God, you have to protect my grandfather.¡± She sped her hands together and prayed in tears.
A doctor stepped out of the surgery room. He first nodded towards Fang Xinxin before noticing Bai Jingrou¡¯s heartbroken appearance.
He spoke urgently. ¡°Miss Bai, your grandfather lost too much blood. His blood type is extremely rare. It is the Rh B Negative Blood Type, also known as the ¡®Panda Blood¡¯. Only two percent of the people in this world share that blood type. As Rh blood types are split into Type A and Type B, it¡¯s even rarer. Our hospital doesn¡¯t have such blood in stock. You¡¯re Director Long¡¯s granddaughter. There is a high chance you are of the same blood type. May I know what your blood type is?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was filled with regret. ¡°My blood type is Type O. I take after my mother.¡±
¡°In that case, we must quickly request for volunteers in the city toe to the hospital to donate blood to Director Long.¡± The doctor spoke with a frown. ¡°Director Long is in a critical situation. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to wait for even ten minutes¡¡±
Bai Jingrou thought it would be best if Long Jingyuan died immediately. She naturally did not wish for him tost till someone could donate their blood to him.
But Fang Xinxin suddenly spoke up. ¡°Doctor, My blood type is Rh B Negative.¡±
The doctor was surprised for a moment. He then immediately made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture. ¡°Madam Bai, please follow me.¡±
This hospital belonged to Bai Qinghao¡¯s Sheng Shi Group. The doctors naturally knew of her.
They hurriedly conducted a test to confirm Fang Xinxin¡¯s blood test before they proceeded with a blood transfusion for Long Jingyuan.
Bai Jingrou felt her heart sinking the entire time. It wasn¡¯t clear if she was too worried or too nervous, but her beautiful, refined features appeared especially pale.
A momentter, the doctor stepped out of the surgery room. Bai Jingrou rushed to approach him. ¡°Doctor, how is my grandfather doing?¡±
¡°We have sessfully closed his wound. Thankfully, Madam Bai gave him her blood in time and Director Long¡¯s life was saved. However, his injury is quite serious and it will take between three to five days for him to regain consciousness.¡±
Bai Jingrou appeared to have staggered forward in joy. In truth, however, she lost her stability from fear.
The old man actually, actually didn¡¯t die!
¡°Thank¡ thank god.¡± Bai Jingrou was on the verge of tears from joy.
¡°Doctor, before Director Long regains consciousness, keep him in the intensive care ward. No one is allowed to approach him,¡± Fang Xinxin instructed expressionlessly.
¡°Understood.¡± The doctor immediately followed her instructions. Bai Qinghao had instructed them to always carry out Madam Bai¡¯s orders.
Chapter 750 - Mysterious Assailant
Chapter 750: Mysterious Assant
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Bai Jingrou immediately shouted in anger. ¡°Fang Xinxin, what do you mean by this? Who gave you the right to stop me from visiting my own grandfather?¡±
She immediately turned to the doctor. ¡°Doctor, I want to transfer my grandfather to a different hospital.¡±
¡°This¡¡± The doctor turned towards Fang Xinxin.
Logically speaking, Bai Jingrou was Long Jingyuan¡¯s only rtive and she possessed the right to make such a request.
However, this hospital belonged to Sheng Shi Group and everything in this ce operated ording to Bai Qinghao¡¯s orders.
¡°Ignore her.¡± Fang Xinxin instructed indifferently.
The doctor carried out the procedures and very quickly, Long Jingyuan was sent into the intensive care unit ward.
Fang Xinxin even arranged for two bodyguards to guard by the entrance of the ward. Outsiders were not allowed to approach the ce.
Fang Xinxin busied herself through the evening and finally had some time to rest on the bench in the hallway.
She was able to put her heart at ease now that Long Jingyuan¡¯s life was saved.
¡°Ding!¡± With this noise, the elevator on the thirty-eighth floor opened. Elder Bai Chongshan hurried out of the elevator with Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi following behind him.
¡°Grandfather!¡± Bai Jingrou immediately rushed towards Bai Chongshan.
Bai Chongshan¡¯s gaze did not pause on her. He hurried towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Xinxin, Little Girl, Long Jingyuan was nearly beaten to death by someone?¡±
She nodded lightly. ¡°Grandfather Long has a very big wound on his forehead and he lost a lot of blood. Thankfully, the hospital was able to conduct a blood transfusion in time and his life was saved.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Bai Chongshan¡¯s expression rxed a little as he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That Old Long is a good friend of mine. He is younger than me. I wouldn¡¯t want him to leave first.¡±
¡°Mom, Brother!¡± Bai Jingrou greeted Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi.
The both of them nodded. Their expressions were especially serious.
Bai Chongshan furrowed his grey brows. He then red sharply at Bai Jingrou. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been living at the Long home recently? How did you take care of Old Long!¡±
¡°I¡¡± Bai Jingrou teared up as she spoke. ¡°I heard shouting noises in Grandfather¡¯s bedroom but by the time I rushed in, he was already injured.¡±
¡°What did the assant look like?¡± Bai Chongshan demanded angrily. ¡°I¡¯ll immediately send someone to cut him into a thousand pieces!¡±
¡°He escaped through the window the moment he saw me.¡± Bai Jingrou continued helplessly. ¡°I wasn¡¯t able to get a proper look at him. I only remember that he was around 1.75 metres tall. He wasn¡¯t especially fat or thin. He had a crew cut hairstyle¡¡±
There were countless men on the streets who would fit this description. It waspletely useless.
She then red at Fang Xinxin in anger. ¡°Grandfather, Xinxin is growing more and more out of hand! Today, she brought more than twenty bodyguards to break into my Long home. She even beat up all my Long family¡¯s helpers. Right now, she¡¯s even stopping me from visiting my grandfather!¡±
Bai Chongshan¡¯s gaze was sharp from his years of experience. ¡°Your Long family? I¡¯m sure you would be pleased if the Long family was truly yours.¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not what I meant¡¡± Bai Jingrou rushed to exin. ¡°Grandfather, the Bai home will always be my home.¡±
Bai Chongshan was not in the mood to watch her put on an emotional act.
He narrowed his gaze and spoke with certainty. ¡°Xinxin, this brat, she must have charged into the Long home to bring Old Long to the hospital, didn¡¯t she? Long Jingyuan has been surrounded by capable bodyguards these days. How did he end up beaten to this state? Where are his bodyguards? What did the assant use to injure him?¡±
¡°A vase.¡± Fang Xinxin responded calmly. ¡°Grandfather¡¯s forehead was injured with a vase.¡±
¡°What kind of an assassin is that?¡± Bai Chongshan appeared deep in thought as he nced at Bai Jingrou.. ¡°I¡¯m afraid using the vase must have been ast-minute idea. The assant must have prepared a different method but was interrupted by sudden changes in the situation, didn¡¯t he?¡±
Chapter 751 - Definitely Not A Plot Of Murder For Money
Chapter 751: Definitely Not A Plot Of Murder For Money
¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡± Bai Jingrou appeared very innocent.
Bai Chongshan said, ¡°In this period, the Long family¡¯s security has been especially tight. How could amon person possibly approach Long Jingyuan? Only his granddaughter would have this opportunity. Guards,e!¡±
Two of the bodyguards behind him came forward. ¡°Elder, what are your orders?¡±
¡°Capture Bai Jingrou. Lock her in the Bai family¡¯s storeroom.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The two bodyguards immediately held Bai Jingrou firmly.
Herplexion was pale as she cried. ¡°My Grandfather is on the verge of death. I am his only rtive. Right now, he needs me by his side. Grandfather Bai, you can¡¯t lock me up!¡±
¡°So what if he is your grandfather? Considering the Long family¡¯s enormous wealth, who knows if you were the one who tried to murder Long Jingyuan in an attempt to obtain their one hundred years old business.¡±
¡°Why would I do that? The Long family¡¯s business has always been mine. I¡¯m it¡¯s only sessor!¡± Bai Jingrou argued back.
All of a sudden, she turned towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Cousin-inw, won¡¯t you speak up for me? When you entered the Long family¡¯s bedroom, you saw that I was pressing a handkerchief against Grandfather¡¯s forehead to stop his bleeding. Also, you can also check my phone. There are records that I dialed 120¡¡±
As her hands were pressed behind her back, Bai Chenxi rushed to reach into her bag to retrieve her phone. He searched through it. ¡°Grandfather, there really are records of my sister calling for the emergency ambnce.¡±
¡°Father, Jingrou has always been an obedient and kind child. She definitely wouldn¡¯t kill someone for money.¡± Huang Zhishu was in tears as she begged for mercy on her daughter¡¯s behalf. ¡°Dad, you can¡¯t wrong Jingrou like this. If you lock her up, what if Director Long ends up passing away¡ Jingrou will lose her only opportunity to send him off. Could you bear to do that to her?¡±
Bai Chongshan became uncertain when he heard this. He turned towards Fang Xinxin.
¡°Lock her up.¡± Fang Xinxin responded directly. ¡°I had already reached the bedroom when Bai Jingrou dialled for an ambnce. She only did so to cover up her intentions.¡±
When Bai Jingrou and the rest heard this, they immediately understood that it was Fang Xinxin¡¯s request to put her under arrest.
Indeed, Fang Xinxin had given Elder Bai a call earlier to inform him of the whole series of events.
Huang Zhishu saw that her daughter was about to be dragged away and quickly knelt down.
She cried. ¡°Father, nothing is more precious than family in this world. Jingrou has never met her birth parents and is already pitiful enough. I can guarantee with my own life that she would never attempt to harm her own family for money.¡±
She then red at Fang Xinxin. ¡°It must be Fang Xinxin. She must have grown greedy after obtaining ten percent of the Long Group¡¯s shares and wants more. As long as she frames Jingrou for this, she¡¯ll sessfully eliminate Elder Long and Jingrou, killing two birds with one stone! Father, you cannot fall for Xinxin¡¯s trick and be used by her!¡±
Bai Jingrou followed suit and knelt down. She sobbed miserably. ¡°Grandfather Bai, I guarantee it with my life, if I really killed my own grandfather, I¡¯ll suffer a life worse than death!¡± In any case, she waspletely unrted to Long Jingyuan. She could make as many such vows as needed.
¡°I only wish to be by my grandfather¡¯s side while he is still in a critical state. If something happens to him¡ I don¡¯t wish to have any regrets. I won¡¯t be able to do anything to him with the way you are all wary of me anyway. At most, I¡¯ll remain outside the ward and won¡¯t approach him.¡±
She knew hypnosis and could kill Long Jingyuan just by being outside, sealing his lips forever.
Chapter 752 - Guarding The Old Man
Chapter 752: Guarding The Old Man
Seeing this, Fang Xinxin said, ¡°Since Bai Jingrou has made such a serious vow, let¡¯s not lock her up.¡±
Bai Chongshan was in the midst of hesitating. When he heard this, he nodded. ¡°Alright then. In any case, Old Long will wake up within three to five days. When he wakes up, it will be clear whether or not Jingrou tried to murder him.¡±
His sharp gazended on Bai Jingrou. ¡°I¡¯ll believe in you for the time being. Spend more time with Old Long. After all, he is yourst living rtive in this world.¡±
¡°Thank you, Grandfather!¡± Bai Jingrou was deeply moved and immediately kowtowed towards him.
Bai Chongshan¡¯s expression was heavy when he stated. ¡°You should be thanking your cousin-inw. She was the one who spoke up for you. I¡¯m only listening to her intentions.¡±
Bai Jingrou smiled gratefully towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Thank you, Cousin-inw.¡±
Although she said so on the surface, internally, she mocked Fang Xinxin for being useless trash. Fang Xinxin¡¯s soft heart would only give her the opportunity to send her into hell.¡±
Fang Xinxin naturally understood that Bai Jingrou was nning something again. Locking her up would make it difficult for this brat to get up to her mischief.
Long Jingyuan would awaken within three to five days and Bai Jingrou definitely would not allow him to wake up. In other words, she would do something within this time period.
Hence, Fang Xinxin was ready to catch her in the act.
Bai Chongshan stood outside the intensive care unit for a while. Soon, he left with Huang Zhishu.
Fang Xinxin took in the sight of Long Jingyuan lying on the hospital bed through the transparent ss. He had an oxygen mask on and was dressed in a patient¡¯s clothes. His wrinkled features were pale and he appeared especially thin. It seemed as though he would cease breathing anytime.
At the thought of how lonely Long Jingyuan could be, she found that he was truly quite pitiful.
Even his only granddaugher had attempted to murder him. Her actions could only be described as inhumane.
Bai Jingrou stood several metres away from Fang Xinxin. The anxiety in her expression was obvious. ¡°Uu¡ I wonder when my grandfather will wake up. I hope he does so soon.¡±
Her words made her appear to be an extremely filial granddaughter.
Fang Xinxin pursed her lips together and did not respond.
Bai Chenxi, who had also stayed behind, spokefortingly. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry. Director Long will be fine.¡±
¡°En.¡± Bai Jingrou nodded pitifully. Internally, however, she dearly wished that Long Jingyuan would quickly die. Immediately!
Bai Chenxi¡¯s seemingly refined gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. His expression was filled with heartache. ¡°Xinxin, it¡¯s already midnight. You must be tired. I will guard outside Director Long¡¯s room. Go ahead and get some sleep.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to be a busybody.¡± Fang Xinxin was expressionless.
For some reason, she struggled to stop worrying for Long Jingyan. It wasn¡¯t just because she was grateful for the Long Group¡¯s stocks which he had given her.
She felt an unexinable hint of heartache for him.
It was as though Long Jingyuan was her rtive. She felt anxious and flustered as if she was on the verge of losing a family member.
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Bai Chenxi smiled warmly and approached her.
Fang Xinxin immediately shouted to stop him. ¡°Maintain a distance of five steps away from me.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Bai Chenxi was confused.
¡°Because your appearance is repulsive.¡±
¡°¡¡±
Bai Chenxi could always rely on his face to coax a woman into giving him everything. When it came to Fang Xinxin, however, he keenly understood that Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart had changed and she no longer loved him!
He was angered, upset and even felt the urge to ruin her.
Unfortunately, he did not have that ability right now.
However¡
He nced at Bai Jingrou, who was seated on the bench.
Considering his sister¡¯s abilities, he was afraid Fang Xinxin would soon die without even realising it!
Chapter 753 - Heart-to-heart With Father
Chapter 753: Heart-to-heart With Father
At 3:00 in the morning, Bai Jingrou began to yawn frequently. She struggled to even keep her eyelids apart.
Thus, she said to Fang Xinxin, ¡°Cousin-inw, I¡¯m really too tired. I¡¯ll visit a nearby hotel to rest for a while. You should get some rest soon.¡±
She then nced at the two Bai family¡¯s bodyguards outside the hospital ward. ¡°With the Bai family¡¯s people guarding the hospital room, Grandfather will definitely remain safe. Please don¡¯t me me for not being able to stay here any longer. If I exhaust myself, Grandfather¡¯s heart will definitely ache for me. I¡¯lle again tomorrow afternoon.¡±
What was that about exhausting herself? That Bai Jingrou sure found a grand reason to excuse herself to go to sleep.
In fact, Fang Xinxin understood very well that it was especially tiring for Bai Jingrou to use her hypnosis.
She could only use her skill to the best of abilities when she was energetic and in a good state. Thus, she could not allow herself to be too tired.
Bai Chenxi was also curious about his sister¡¯s n. Hence, he left with her.
After the both of them were gone, Fang Xinxin sent a message to Ya Lun. ¡°Send over a high quality imitation skin based on Long Jingyuan¡¯s appearance.¡±
There were many exquisite masks that were even more well-made than those used on television sets. If one did not look carefully, they truly would not notice the difference.
This intensive care unit ward was no longer safe for Long Jingyuan.
She needed to take some pre-emptive measures.
Ya Lun responded with an ¡®OK¡¯ emoticon.
Fang Xinxin instructed the bodyguards to inform her when Bai Jingrou was about to make her way to the hospital again and entered the VIP hospital ward where Long Yifan was admitted next door.
There were two beds in the VIP room. One of which was upied by Long Yifan, while the other vacant bed was asionally used by her when she visited him.
She also needed to rest. Her own abilities could also only work to the best effect when she was well-rested.
She sat by Long Yifan¡¯s bedside and reached out to tuck the corner of the sheets against him. As she took in his thin appearance, she suddenly thought of Long Yifan.
Previously, when she first met Long Jingyuan in the Bai family, she had found him somewhat familiar. However, she had struggled to understand why that was so.
She now understood that Long Yifan and Long Jingyuan appeared uncanningly simr at times.
Both of them were unrted. Why would they appear this simr?
¡°Dad, both Mom and I have the surname ¡®Fang¡¯, while your surname is ¡®Long¡¯. Does that mean that your mother¡¯s surname is also ¡®Long¡¯?¡± Fang Xinxin recalled asking him when she had been young.
Her father had not gotten angry. Instead, he had held her and spoken seriously. ¡°My good daughter, my surname follows my father. He is also your grandfather. He once said that our family always has to keep our ancestors¡¯ names. That is why my surname is ¡®Long¡¯.¡±
¡°But if I don¡¯t take your surname, others willugh at you.¡±
¡°For your mother, it¡¯s nothing to me if othersugh at me. Besides, no matter whose surname you have, you¡¯ll always be my blood family. You¡¯re daddy¡¯s little precious girl.¡±
¡°In that case, Daddy is my big precious daddy!¡± She had responded sweetly.
¡°Xinxin is so sweet!¡± Long Yifan had not been able to resist kissing her chubby cheeks.
Fang Xinxin returned to herself. She felt a little sad as she watched her father.
She muttered to herself. ¡°Dad, I wonder when you¡¯ll finally wake up. I really regret not being able to take good care of you in the past. I hope you¡¯ll wake up and give me another opportunity to do so. I really wish to hear you calling me your ¡®precious daughter¡¯ again.¡±
Long Yifan¡¯s left hand trembled ever so slightly. As his hands were tucked beneath the sheets, Fang Xinxin did not notice this.
Chapter 754 - Danger
Chapter 754: Danger
Fang Xinxin recalled that Long Jingyuan, who was hospitalized in the intensive care unit, had a Rh B Negative blood type.
Both her father and herself had the same blood type.
Wasn¡¯t this blood type extremely rare? How could there be three individuals with panda blood in the same hospital?
As for Bai Jingrou, who was Director Long¡¯s granddaughter, to think that her blood type was O.
Although it was possible that she took after her mother.
But both her father and Long Jingyuan had the surname ¡®Long¡¯. They also appeared quite simr and had the same blood type. Could there be these many coincidences?
A shocking possibility slowly arose in Fang Xinxin¡¯s mind¡
She checked the time. It was 3:00 in the morning.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s thoughts shifted as she realised that Elder Bai Chongshan had most likely informed Bai Qinghao that she was apanying the unconscious Director Long in the hospital.
Bai Qinghao was abroad on a business trip. It was strange that he did not call to check on her.
A bad feeling arose in her heart. Fang Xinxin immediately called Bai Qinghao.
The tone rang for a while before Bai Qinghao answered. ¡°My wife, why are you still awake at this time? Are you still at the hospital.¡±
¡°You know that I¡¯m at the hospital?¡±
¡°Grandfather gave me a call to inform me.¡± Bai Qinghao continued. ¡°I¡¯ll be able to see you in an hour¡¯s time.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you away on a business trip? Wasn¡¯t it supposed to take you three to five days to return?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart nearly skipped a beat.
¡°Director Long is unconscious. Grandfather said that you are too worried about him to leave the hospital. I¡¯m worried about you so I decided to return early.¡±
¡°Wait, where are you right now?¡±
¡°Liu Li is driving. In a minute, I¡¯ll arrive at Huang Long Slope.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart immediately began pounding loudly. She shouted. ¡°Tell Liu Li to turn the car around right now! There is an ambush hidden at Huang Long Po. Watch out for spies in the car. Don¡¯t trust anyone besides Liu Li!¡±
A loud gunshot noise was suddenly heard and Bai Qinghao¡¯s call got cut off.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart mmed loudly against her ribcage in fear.
In her previous life, Bodyguard Liu Li had died protecting Bai Qinghao. At the time, Bai Qinghao and Liu Li had been on the way back to the city after a business trip. The ambush had urred at Huang Long Slope, a location an hour away from the city. She heardter that there had been a spy amongst the bodyguards who were with them.
Although Bai Qinghao survived that incident, he suffered a gunshot to his chest and was seriously injured. The wound nearly killed him.
ording to her memories, this would only happen three monthster.
Why was it brought forward?
She recalled that she had gotten pregnant and suffered a miscarriage in her previous life. However, in this life, she still wasn¡¯t pregnant.
It seems like things wouldn¡¯tpletely go the same way as they had in her previous life.
Who had gotten injured from that gunshot earlier?
She prayed to god that it wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao!
This time, there was no way that Chauffeur Li Bingpan was the spy. This was because he did not apany them on the trip.
Li Bingpan, that disloyal thing, was kept as bait to draw in enemies. He was being closely watched and could not cause any trouble.
Fang Xinxin really wanted to call Bai Qinghao and ask about his safety.
However, she knew very well that if he was in the midst of a gun fight, a call at this moment would only expose his location and worsen his danger.
She made a decision on the spot and dialed Ya Lun.
His drowsy voice could be heard on the other end. ¡°Madam Bai, it¡¯s sote. What do you need from me?¡±
¡°Ya Lun, Bai Qinghao is in danger. I need your help.¡±
Ya Lun immediately became fully awake. ¡°Madam Bai, where is he? I¡¯m referring to Bai Qinghao. I¡¯ll go look for him immediately.¡±
Chapter 755 - Search Operation
Chapter 755: Search Operation
¡°I¡¯ll go look for him. There¡¯s something more important for you to do.¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s tone was firm. ¡°Look for two individuals to impersonate as my father, Long Yifan, and the Long Group¡¯s director, Long Jingyuan. Then, arrange for them to be transferred to a different hospital. Be wary of Bai Jingrou. That woman is capable of hypnosis. If I¡¯m not wrong, she will attempt to hypnotise a doctor or a nurse to murder the two of them. They are in danger and you are the only person who can guarantee their safety. I won¡¯t be able to set my heart at ease if I leave them to someone else.¡±
¡°I can promise you that.¡± Ya Lun frowned, ¡°But¡¡±
¡°I promise that your boss will return safe and sound.¡±
Ya Lun faltered for a moment. He was very surprised that Fang Xinxin actually knew that the person behind Hei Xiao was Bai Qinghao. Based on her tone, it seemed like she had already known of this matter for quite some time.
Did Boss tell her about it? But¡ didn¡¯t he say to keep this a secret?
Did he reveal the truth without even informing him?
After ending the call, Fang Xinxin arranged for a hundred bodyguards to travel towards Huang Long Slope via twenty helicopters.
She sent another hundred bodyguards to travel by car to search for Bai Qinghao along Huang Long Slope.
Thankfully, Bai Qinghao doted on her dearly and had once dered that all his subordinates alongside the business he owned needed to be absolutely obedient to her.
Fang Xinxin sat in one of the helicopters and used a set of binocrs to look here and there.
On their way, they had found several corpses in the forest located at the slope.
She was extremely tense from her anxiety.
¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to be safe!¡± She felt as though her blood was about to rush out of her skin due to worry.
Half of the helicoptersnded in the spacious areas of the forest.
The other half remained in the air. If they located any enemies, they would immediately shoot them down.
Fang Xinxin alighted as well and was about to instruct the bodyguards to begin searching for Bai Qinghao, when her phone rang.
The screen indicated that it was a call from Bai Qinghao. She immediately answered.
¡°My wife, I met with a small problem earlier. I¡¯m sorry I ended our call.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold, heavy voice was apologetic. ¡°I only managed to find time to call you now that the problem is solved.¡±
Fang Xinxin finally rxed after hearing his voice. ¡°Bai Qinghao, where are you right now?¡±
¡°In front of you.¡± Bai Qinghao leaped off of a nearby tree andnded firmly on the ground. His figure was powerful and strong, and his white dress shirt and ck pants were covered in blood. It appeared as though the King of Hell himself had ascended.
The dark, early morning sky caused him to appear especially cold. All the bodyguards present there could not help a shiver.
Fang Xinxin rushed towards the blood-covered Bai Qinghao. She stopped before him and asked urgently. ¡°Are you injured?¡±
¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± He took in her joyful expression. It seemed like she was especially happy that he had made it out alive.
But she did not believe him. ¡°But you¡¯re covered in blood¡¡±
¡°It belongs to the assassins who ambushed me.¡± A hint of murderous intent shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze. ¡°This time I eliminated twelve assassins in one go.¡±
Fang Xinxin scanned him carefully. Aside from appearing exhausted, he truly did not seem to be injured. She finally rushed into his arms. ¡°Thank god you¡¯re fine!¡±
Bai Qinghao was covered in blood from his earlier battle. If this had been in the past, she definitely would have found him dirty.
Right now, however, she was trembling in his arms.
His frigid, frozen heart was slowly enveloped by warmth.
Chapter 756 - Safe And Sound
Chapter 756: Safe And Sound
He embraced her tightly as though they were the only people left in this world. Their eyes could only contain each other and there was no space for anyone else!
More than a hundred bodyguards stood in neat rows ready to bemanded. Their expressions remained indifferent at the sight of their boss and his wife kissing.
¡°Boss, I lost too much blood. I¡¯m about to die.¡± Liu Li stepped out from the side. He held his wounded shoulder tightly.
Fang Xinxin pushed Bai Qinghao aside gently and nced at Liu Li. She was very happy. ¡°You¡¯re alive.¡±
In her previous life, Liu Li had died for Bai Qinghao in this gun fight. She was quite happy that he had made it out alive this time.
That was because she hoped for Bai Qinghao to have as many loyal subordinates as he could.
¡°Yes, Madam. My shoulder was shot. It really hurts,¡± Liu Li gritted his teeth to say.
Bai Qinghao instructed the helicopters to return. He then arranged for a helicopter to send Liu Li directly to the hospital.
Afterwards, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao returned to the Yu Ting Vi together.
As Fang Xinxin had caused a bigmotion by moving so many bodyguards and helicopters, there was no way to hide this matter from the Bai family¡¯s elders. They called and confirmed Bai Qinghao¡¯s safety before setting their worries at rest.
Earlier, Bai Qinghao had been in an SUV on his way back to the city centre.
Liu Li had been driving while another bodyguard upied the front seat.
Bai Qinghao sat in the back.
At the time, that bodyguard had vaguely heard her reminding Bai Qinghao of possible spies and was about to take action. However, Bai Qinghao was one step ahead and had shot him to death.
There was still a minute before they arrived at Huang Long Slope and they were around five hundred metres away.
Bai Qinghao was apanied by two cars which carried eight bodyguards. Thankfully, he was lucky and had yet to step into the trap set up for him.
There were twenty assassins waiting to ambush Bai Qinghao.
They did not expect Bai Qinghao¡¯s car to suddenly turn around five hundred metres before from the trap.
They quickly reacted and began chasing after Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s side was well-trained. They rushed into the forest and hid themselves to wait for the right opportunity and finally eliminated ten men each.
Although they were outnumbered, the enemies were still thoroughly annihted.
Bai Qinghao exined the situation in detail. He then expressed with a sigh. ¡°My wife, if it wasn¡¯t for you, perhaps I would have died today.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± She frowned. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely live on well and apany me till I am old.¡±
He was deeply moved as he embraced her soft, slender figure. ¡°My wife¡¡±
¡°En?¡±
¡°I have something to ask you.¡± He deliberated over it before speaking. ¡°How did you know that there was a spy among my bodyguards? And how did you know that the enemy was preparing to ambush me.¡±
She paused for a moment. ¡°If I say that, once in a while, I have the ability to predict the future, would you believe me?¡±
She did not wish to tell him about her previous life. Back then, she had been too foolish and her actions were shameful. She did not wish for him to ask about his miserable ending.
He stiffened. A hint of light shed past his cold and heavy gaze. He nodded. ¡°I believe in everything you say.¡±
She was deeply moved as she pressed her face against his firm chest. ¡°I dreamt that you would meet with danger, so I told you about it. I didn¡¯t expect it to really happen.¡±
Chapter 757 - Waiting Game
Chapter 757: Waiting Game
He nodded lightly and did not ask any further. He then caressed her long, soft hair and spoke lovingly. ¡°Wife, I didn¡¯t expect that you would bring so many people toe searching for me.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t all of them your subordinates?¡±
¡°Your feelings made me really happy.¡± It turned out that his wife had been so worried for his safety.
¡
Earlier, in a hotel near the Jia Ya Hospital, Bai Jingrou received news that Fang Xinxin had actuallymanded a bunch of helicopters and bodyguards to go rescue Bai Qinghao.
It seemed like Bai Qinghao was in serious trouble.
She wasn¡¯t worried about Bai Qinghao dying. If he actually died, the Bai family would end up in her elder brother¡¯s hands. That was also a good thing.
Instead, she was angered that Fang Xinxin actuallymanded this much power in the Bai family. To think that she would be able to move these many subordinates.
Fang Xinxin had left the hospital and Bai Jingrou felt that this was her opportunity.
Thus, she put on some make-up and changed into a nurse¡¯s uniform which she had prepared. She put on a hat and a mask before heading for the Jia Ya Hospital¡¯s doctor¡¯s office.
Hmph, so what if the security was especially tight?
Once she hypnotised the doctor, she would be able to take Long Jingyuan¡¯s life.
Besides, there was no need for her to take action personally.
There was also Long Yifan. Although he was unconscious, he remained a time bomb. If Long Yifan awoke one day, her status as the fake sessor to the Long Group would be exposed.
There was no harm in eliminating both of them at one go.
She would remove Long Yifan at the same time.
Bai Jingrou was an especially careful person. She would not set her heart at ease until Long Jingyuan and Long Yifan were both dead.
Thus, she hypnotised the doctor and followed after him while pretending to be a nurse.
They first visited the intensive care unit. She watched personally as the doctor injected Long Jingyuan with a medicine that would put him to eternal rest. After that, they visited the VIP ward. Doctor Guo Yi injected Long Yifan with the same medicine.
After this series of events, Bai Jingrou was finally able to set her heart at ease.
Fang Xinxin thought herself capable of being her opponent. As if!
Right now, no one in this world knew that Bai Jingrou was not the Long family¡¯s actual sessor.
In a few hours, when Long Jingyuan¡¯s death was discovered, the Long family¡¯s business would be hers!
At the thought of this, Bai Jingrou smiled in greed.
She returned to the hospital and began to wait anxiously for news that Long Jingyuan had passed away.
At 8:00a.m. the next morning, she still did not receive any news from the hospital.
Bai Jingrou could not sit still any longer and began to pace back and forth in her hospital room.
She dialed Bai Chongshan¡¯s number and spoke in a tone of concern. ¡°Grandfather, have you had breakfast?¡±
¡°I just ate. I¡¯m strolling in the old mansion¡¯s yard.¡± Bai Chongshan sounded a little suspicious. ¡°Jingrou, you don¡¯t usually call me at this time. What happened?¡±
¡°My grandfather is in intensive unit care and I¡¯m really worried about him. It also made me realize that I haven¡¯t taken good care of you in the past few years. Jingrou cannot help but feel guilty.¡±
¡°Is that all? As long as you remain obedient, you¡¯ll still be able to lead a good life in the Bai family.¡±
The Elder seemed to be hinting at something. Could he have discovered something? Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression turned heavy. However, her tone remained light and ttering. ¡°Grandfather, don¡¯t worry. This grand daughter of yours will never cause trouble for you.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Chongshan ended the call.
Bai Jingrou dialed her mother immediately after. There wasn¡¯t any news from the hospital whatsoever. Instead, she learned that Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had safely returned to Yu Ting Vist night.
Chapter 758 - Suspicion
Chapter 758: Suspicion
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
She could not pay attention to other matters.
She only wanted to know why the hospital wasn¡¯t informing anyone of Long Jingyuan and his son¡¯s deaths!
No! She could not wait any longer.
Bai Jingroubed her fingers through her hair and changed into a set of casual wear. Soon, she visited the thirtieth floor of the Jia Ya Hospital.
Both the intensive care unit and Long Yifan¡¯s VIP ward were guarded by bodyguards from the Bai family.
Aside from doctors and nurses, no one was allowed into the two hospital rooms.
Long Yifan¡¯s hospital door was shut and she had no way of checking the situation inside.
The intensive care unit was visible through the transparent window. It was a pity, however, that the curtains were closed and she could not see what was happening inside!
Bai Jingrou turned to ask the bodyguards. ¡°Is my grandfather alright?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The bodyguard shook his head.
¡°Did Fang Xinxine by?¡± She asked again.
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
No matter what she asked, the bodyguards imed they could not answer her questions.
Bai Jingrou then visited the doctor¡¯s office and found that Doctor Guo Yi, the doctor she had hypnotised yesterday, did note to work today.
She rushed to ask the doctor on shift about Long Jingyuan¡¯s status. ¡°Doctor, may I know how my grandfather, Long Jingyuan, is doing right now?¡±
¡°Madam Bai instructed that Director Long¡¯s status cannot be revealed to anyone.¡± The doctor responded expressionlessly.
¡°I am Long Jingyuan¡¯s granddaughter.¡±
¡°My apologies. Madam Bai¡¯smands are akin to the imperial edict. If you wish to know, go ahead and ask Madam Bai.¡±
Bai Jingrou caused a smallmotion but failed to learn anything.
She could not help but feel fearful.
She made a call to Doctor Guo Yi but found that his phone was turned off.
A sense of foreboding filled her heart. Could it be that her scheme was exposed?
For a moment, she felt the urge to escape.
However, she believed that Fang Xinxin was intentionally suppressing news of Long Jingyuan¡¯s death. Perhaps she nned to take advantage of the shares she owned to control the Long Group.
The more she thought about this, the more she felt that it was possible.
This meant that she needed to quickly announce to the public that Long Jingyuan was dead! This way, she could immediately take over the Long family¡¯s business!
Bai Jingrou stood outside the intensive care unit and raised her voice. ¡°I want to see my grandfather!¡±
¡°Miss Bai, please do not make things difficult for us.¡± A bodyguard stopped her.
¡°I have the right to see him!¡± Bai Jingrou insisted.
¡°In that case, please request for permission from Madam.¡± The bodyguard spoke professionally.
¡°How is my Long family¡¯s business rted to Fang Xinxin?¡± Bai Jingrou was enraged. ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to do this!¡±
At this moment, the bodyguards received a call. They immediately detained Bai Jingrou¡
In the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room, Bai Qinghao sat on the couch with an upright posture. The expensive couch appeared just like an emperor¡¯s throne with his presence.
Although Ya Lun was standing, he could sense the immense pressure arising from Bai Qinghao¡¯s powerful charisma. His body trembled a little as he reported. ¡°Miss Fang instructed me to transfer Long Jingyuan and Long Yifan to a different hospital. Earlier, she also asked me to detain Miss Bai Jingrou¡¡±
He then exined how Bai Jingrou had hypnotised Doctor Guo Yi in an attempt to murder Long Yifan and Long Jingyuan.
¡°Boss, Madam gave me directmands yesterday. I think she already knows that you are the person behind Hei Xiao.¡± Ya Lun spoke thoughtfully. ¡°Furthermore, she seems very familiar with Bai Jingrou¡¯s ns and was able to prepare for it beforehand.. She even knew that you would meet with danger. Isn¡¯t this far too coincidental?¡±
Chapter 759 - Ability To Predict Future
Chapter 759: Ability To Predict Future
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes slightly. He appeared nonchnt. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±
However, Ya Lun immediately felt an immense, invisible pressure weighing on him. Logically, he knew that considering his boss¡¯s love for his wife, he shouldn¡¯t say anything bad about her.
However, his loyalty urged him to speak up. ¡°Fang Xinxin isn¡¯t simple. Should you be a little careful of her?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to be careful about?¡± Bai Qinghao lit a cigarette and responded indifferently. ¡°If she desires this life of mine, it has always been hers anyways.¡±
Fang Xinxin was coincidentally making her way down the stairs. When she heard these words, a hint of joy shed past her eyes.
Ya Lun, however, suffered a serious blow. ¡°Boss, if you di¡ if something happens to you, what will happen to us?¡±
Bai Qinghao was indifferent. ¡°You¡¯ll be able tomand the entire Hei Xiao, then. Isn¡¯t that a pretty good deal?¡±
¡°No, no.¡± Ya Lun¡¯s expression fully conveyed his ¡®Thanks, but no thanks¡¯ feelings. ¡°I only wish to be a second-inmand. I don¡¯t have the ability to lead this group.¡±
Back then, when his Wilson family had met with trouble, it was Bai Qinghao who secretly assisted him. Without Bai Qinghao, his family would already be in ruins.
Ya Lun had once sworn to remain eternally loyal to Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin understood that Ya Lun was loyal. She suddenly spoke up. ¡°Ya Lun, don¡¯t worry. Bai Qinghao is more important to me than my own life. I will never hurt him.¡±
Ya Lun watched her for several seconds. Her clear, open gaze conveyed her sincerity.
At the very least, on the surface, he could not spot any hints of ill-intentions against Bai Qinghao. ¡°I hope you¡¯ll be able to do as you say.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± She smiled and sat down by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side.
Bai Qinghao began coldly. ¡°In the future, I don¡¯t wish to hear any words of suspicion against Fang Xinxin again.¡±
¡°¡I understand.¡± Ya Lun nodded helplessly.
He felt that his boss was truly the incapable ruler that the Asians often spoke of. Fang Xinxin, on the other hand, was the disastrous vixen that led him to be so.
¡°Have you found out who sent those assassinsst night?¡± Their shooting skills,bat skills and movements are very simr to the group that ambushed me two years ago at the border.¡±
Ya Lun turned towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Madam, since you are able to predict the future, do you know who was behind Boss¡¯s attack fromst night?¡±
Fang Xinxin shook her head.
In her previous life, she waspletely uninvolved in these matters. She only learned about Bai Qinghao¡¯s ambush muchter and waspletely unaware about the enemy.
¡°Boss, I have to remind you.¡± Ya Lun said, ¡°Madam only informed you of this a minute before the ambush. Of course, as you said, I believe she told you about it with good intentions.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned heavy. ¡°Are you sick of living? I just warned you that you¡¯re not allowed to suspect her. Scram to the Thousand Snake Cave to reflect for three days.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Ya Lun turned as pale as a sheet of paper. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m really afraid of those snakes.¡± He wouldn¡¯t be afraid if it was only ten or twenty snakes. But the cave filled with snakes caused his goosebumps to rise.
Fang Xinxin spoke up for him. ¡°He has good intentions, don¡¯t punish¡¡±
Ya Lun was dragged away with a paleplexion.
He truly regretted saying more. If he had known this, he wouldn¡¯t have suspected Fang Xinxin.
Chapter 760 - I Believe In You
Chapter 760: I Believe In You
Fang Xinxin turned to look at him firmly. She did not wish for any misunderstandings to crop up between the two of them. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I can exin why I only informed you of this matter a minute before it happened.¡± She frowned. ¡°ording to my prediction, this was only supposed to happen three monthster. I was worried that I would cause too many changes by telling you early. I was also¡ not very certain if this event would actually take ce.¡±
Based on her memories, she was supposed to have suffered a miscarriage by now, and would have be unable to conceive.
Ever since her rebirth, she had yet to be pregnant though the medical check-ups indicated that she did not have any problems in this area.
The trajectory of their lives had changed.
Bai Qinghao embraced her and pressed a kiss against her head lovingly. ¡°I believe in you.¡±
Fang Xinxin pressed her face against his chest.
He gently patted her back and spoke somewhat stiffly. ¡°You already knew that Bai Jingrou had the ability to hypnotise others?¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
¡°You told Ya Lun about it.¡± But you didn¡¯t tell me.
She easily resolved this matter with one sentence. ¡°That¡¯s because I knew Ya Lun would tell you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± He did not suspect this.
She closed her eyes in difort.
In fact, a while ago, she had told Long Jingyuan about Bai Jingrou¡¯s ability without telling him.
This was because Bai Jingrou once hypnotised her in their previous lives to force her into killing Bai Qinghao.
In the end, Bai Qinghao suffered a gunshot to his abdomen and was seriously injured.
It was only when her hands were stained with his blood that she realised she had shot him.
The Bai family had rushed over to witness the scene of her harming him.
She had hoarsely muttered. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to do this¡¡±
Before he fell unconscious, he had instructed them that they were not allowed to kill her.
How could the Bai family possibly forgive her? Thus, in the period he was unconscious, she was heavily beaten up by the Bai family¡¯s servants.
Bai Chongshan as well as Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents both hated her thoroughly and silently ignored the servants¡¯ behaviour.
She could sense that though Bai Qinghao loved her in their previous lifetime, he did not love her as much as he did right now.
Of course, that was not his fault. She also wished she could strangle herself to death at the thought of the vicious acts she hadmitted.
After Bai Qinghao slowly recovered from his injury, he punished all the servants who hurt her with death. He did not mention this incident again.
However, with that incident, the trust between Bai Qinghao and her disappeared.
In their previous life, she always imed she hated him and wanted to stay clear of him. Thus, he misunderstood that she had actually been after his life.
However, that life was different from this one.
Right now, she was dearly loved by the Bai family¡¯s elders and was slowly building trust between Bai Qinghao and herself.
Although she had the confidence that Bai Jingrou¡¯s hypnosis would not work on her, there was still a small possibility that simr events would re-ur¡
She wondered if Bai Qinghao or the Bai family¡¯s elders would react the same way they did in their previous lifetimes?
This was a matter that always troubled her.
Thus, she did not inform any of the Bai family members that Bai Jingrou was capable of hypnosis.
Additionally, for the Bai family, Bai Jingrou was after all their adopted daughter. Although they always seemed cold to her, she had lived with them for over twenty years.
Humans wereplicated creatures. In fact, Bai Jingrou was already receiving a certain level of protection from them.
For example¡
Previously, all the fishes in the Bai family¡¯ske had died. The dogs also barked for no good reason in the middle of the night. With the Bai family¡¯s intelligence, how could they possibly believe this was a result of bad luck?
But if the Bai family was unwilling to pursue the matter, there was nothing she could do about it.
Chapter 761 - More Trust
Chapter 761: More Trust
In other words, if Bai Jingrou and her family only made small mistakes, the Bai family¡¯s elders would actually tolerate it.
In the past, these matters were always handed over to Bai Chongshan. Bai Qinghao never interfered.
Fang Xinxin had also tolerated it without pursuing the issues further. This was because she did not want those small mistakes from Bai Jingrou. She wanted her tomit a mistake big enough that she would never be able to stand up again, so that even the Bai family¡¯s elders themselves would be unwilling to protect her!
At the moment, however, it seemed like she wouldn¡¯t be able to wait for Bai Jingrou to cross the line any further. She needed to deal with her as soon as possible.
She took in Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and stern features.
She suddenly felt a hint of guilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
He lifted his brows. His sharp gaze was filled with heartache for her. ¡°Why are you apologising?¡±
¡°In this life, I should be giving you more trust.¡± It wasn¡¯t right for her to be trapped in the misunderstandings of their previous life.
Perhaps, it was because she had held feelings for him even back then, that was why she struggled to let go of the misunderstanding for so long.
¡°You speak as though there wasn¡¯t any trust between us in our previous life.¡± Bai Qinghao caressed her hair dotingly.
She stiffened. ¡°You know of our previous lifetime?¡±
He shook his head. His cold and heavy tone was filled with certainty. ¡°All I know is that be it in this life or the previous, or even in the lifetimes toe, I will always love you and dote on you!¡±
She carefully asked, ¡°Then¡ what about trust?¡±
¡°As long as they are the words you say, I¡¯ll always believe them.¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly teared up.
She suddenly understood the reason why Bai Qinghao never questioned her for shooting him back then.
It was not because he had misunderstood that she hated him and wanted him dead.
But because he had believed in the words she had murmured. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to do this¡¡±
He kissed her tears away in heartache. His expression was filled with worry. ¡°Wife, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°My own stupidity is driving me to tears.¡± She began to cry harder.
In this lifetime, she would not allow herself to hurt him again.
Nor would she give Bai Jingrou the opportunity to hypnotise her. It turned out that this misunderstanding could be easily resolved. All she needed to do was to give him more trust.
¡°Who says you¡¯re stupid?¡± He held her with one arm and lifted her chin with his other hand, pressing a sweet kiss against her lips. ¡°Even if you¡¯re actually stupid, I¡¯ll still love you.¡±
¡°Hubby¡¡± She swore she would never suspect him in the slightest, again.
However, she would save her special abilities as a secret for him to slowly discover. He was the one who didn¡¯t ask about it. Perhaps, one day, it would be a surprise she could give to him.
He embraced her dearly as though he had obtained the most precious treasure in this world.
A momentter, Elder Bai Chongshan, Ye Yunzhi, Bai Hong, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi came to the Yu Ting Vi.
They were naturally here to visit Bai Qinghao. At the same time, they also asked if Fang Xinxin was doing well.
Just as Bai Qinghao gave the instructions to send the guests away, Huang Zhishu began to hesitate. ¡°Qinghao, Aunt has something to ask you¡¡±
His gaze was as sharp as knives as he nced at her. It was as though he couldpletely see through her.
His cold and dangerous aura left everyone shivering.
Huang Zhishu was frightened into changing her words immediately. ¡°Aunt has something to¡ beg of you.¡±
¡°Speak.¡± His cold and heavy voice did not reveal any of his emotions.
¡°Jingrou went to the hospital to visit her grandfather, Long Jingyuan but was detained by your people.¡± Huang Zhishu continued fearfully. ¡°May I know what she did wrong? Could you let her off?¡±
Chapter 762 - Extra Layer Of Protection Gone
Chapter 762: Extra Layer Of Protection Gone
¡°Scram.¡± A hint of impatience shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression.
Huang Zhishu was frightened into trembling. However, she could not back down when it came to her own daughter.
She knew that it was useless to continue begging him any further. Thus, she turned to Elder Bai Chongshan. ¡°Father, though Jingrou is my adopted daughter, I¡¯ve always treated her as my own. She has always been a good child and is the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. If news spread that Bai Qinghao has detained her, her reputation would be ruined.¡±
Fang Xinxin suspected that Bai Jingrou was not Long Jingyuan¡¯s granddaughter. Instead, there was a possibility that she herself was part of the Long family¡¯s bloodline.
However, this was only a suspicion. She did not wish for others to think that she was greedy for the Long family¡¯s wealth. Thus, she did not n on bringing this matter up yet.
In any case, when Long Jingyuan awoke, the truth would be revealed. There was no need to rush this matter.
Bai Chenxi spoke up as well. ¡°Grandfather, considering that Jingrou is the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter and that us siblings have been apanying you in the old mansion for the past few years, please help my sister.¡±
The elder¡¯s expression was heavy. ¡°Since Qinghao has taken over this matter, it isn¡¯t right for me to interfere.¡±
¡°Brother-inw, Sister-inw¡¡± Huang Zhishu turned to the silent Bai Hong and his wife.
¡°Qinghao knows his limits,¡± Bai Hong spoke up coldly.
Huang Zhishu was angered. She put on a disheartened expression. ¡°Fine, all of you are treating Jingrou like an outsider. It was one matter when she was only seen as an adopted daughter. Since all of you don¡¯t think kindly of her, let her return to the Long family and give up the Bai name.¡±
Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi did not care about this.
Elder Bai, however, was angered into ring at her. ¡°Very good. Consider it that the Bai family raised her for nothing then. From this day onwards, Jingrou is no longer a member of the Bai family!¡±
Huang Zhishu spoke in pain. ¡°Since Jingrou isn¡¯t a member of the Bai family¡¡± She turned to Bai Qinghao fearfully. ¡°You can¡¯t detain her.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched into a hint of a cold smile. ¡°Since she isn¡¯t a member of the Bai family, she won¡¯t be missed even if she dies.¡±
Of course, even if she were an outsider with the Bai family¡¯s name, her death would not affect anyone.
Huang Zhishu¡¯s original intentions were to rescue her daughter. She did not expect things to turn even worse. ¡°Qinghao, that wasn¡¯t what I meant. I just wanted you to let go of Jingrou¡¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was indifferent, akin to that of the King of Hell. ¡°If you make me repeat the word ¡®scram¡¯ again, don¡¯t even think about stepping out of the Yu Ting Vi!¡±
Bai Chenxi was frightened into dragging Huang Zhishu with him as he ran out of the ce.
Although they were both very unhappy, there was nothing they could do.
The Bai family¡¯s elders excused themselves. Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin finally returned to their bedroom to continue their private theme of ¡®making a baby¡¯¡
In the Jing Xin Residence behind the old Bai mansion.
Huang Zhishu¡¯s legs were weak as Bai Chenxi supported her to sit down on the sofa.
¡°Mom, things are going to be bad!¡± Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression was dark and filled with reprimand. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have removed Jingrou from the Bai family at this time. If she remains part of the Bai family, she would still have ayer of protection.¡±
¡°I thought that Bai Qinghao would let go of her if this happened.¡± Huang Zhishu gritted her teeth in anger. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qinghao to be this ruthless. He ispletely inhumane!¡±
She held her son¡¯s hand. ¡°Chenxi, what should we do now?¡±
¡°Sister¡¯s plot to kill Long Jingrou must have failed.¡± Bai Chenxi was a smart man. ¡°As long as Jingrou¡¯s fake status as the Long family¡¯s only sessor isn¡¯t exposed, Elder Long won¡¯t pursue this matter. She should remain unharmed and well.¡±
Chapter 763 - Not Your Granddaughter
Chapter 763: Not Your Granddaughter
¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Bai Chenxi pursed his lips. ¡°Long Jingyuan is an old man now. He can¡¯t possibly kill hisst remaining granddaughter, can he?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just afraid that Jingrou¡¯s identity will be exposed¡¡±
¡°That is why we must hope that Jingrou will be more intelligent and insist that she onlymitted the crime out of her greed for money. With a clear motive, no one will pause to consider if her status as the Long family¡¯s daughter is true or not.¡±
¡°Your sister is very smart. I¡¯m sure she would have already thought of this.¡± Huang Zhishu did not worry about this.
A hint of displeasure appeared in Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze. ¡°But just in case, if Jingrou is really ruined this time¡¡±
Huang Zhishu nodded. ¡°Mom knows what to do.¡±
¡
Two dayster, in the morning, in an intensive care unit on the thirtieth storey of the Jia Ya Hospital, Long Jingyuan opened his eyes as heid on the hospital bed.
His gaze slowly became clear and he immediately noticed Fang Xinxin who was guarding by his bedside.
¡°Xinxin¡¡± Long Jingyuan spoke hoarsely.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression lit up when she saw that he had awoken. She rushed to press the bell to call for a doctor.
Doctor Shi Qian rushed over and conducted a thorough examination for Long Jingyuan. He concluded that Long Jingyuan was no longer in a critical state and gave them a set of instructions to follow before leaving the room.
¡°Water¡¡± Long Jingyuan was extremely thirsty.
Fang Xinxin hurriedly poured in a cup of warm water. She supported him to sit up and considerately stacked the pillows up for him to lean against. She then slowly fed him some water.
Long Jingyuan felt much better after drinking some water. He took in her dark circles. It was clear that she hadn¡¯t slept well in quite some time. ¡°Little girl, Grandfather Long must have made you worry.¡±
She shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you are well.¡± She nced at the bandage wrapped around his forehead. ¡°How did you end up being injured so seriously? Who did it?¡±
Long Jingyuan pursed his lips silently. His expression was heavy.
¡°Bai Jingrou was the one who injured you with a flower vase, isn¡¯t it?¡± Her tone was filled with certainty.
Long Jingyuan¡¯s voice turned pleading. ¡°Xinxin, could you not pursue this matter?¡±
In other words, he was admitting that Bai Jingrou had been the person who injured him.
¡°Why?¡± Although she had already guessed his thoughts, she still asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that, if I hadn¡¯t rushed there in time, you would already have died in her hands.¡±
Long Jingyuan sighed heavily. ¡°After all, Jingrou is my only family. That year, I made a mistake in chasing her father, Long Xuan, out of the family. I regret it deeply. I already have one foot in the grave. If my death will allow Jingrou tofortably seed the Long family¡¯s business, in that case, there is no harm¡ even if my life ended a little earlier.¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly felt deeply moved. The person before him was but an old man who dearly yearned for his family.
He was even willing to forgive someone who had attempted to murder him.
¡°What if Bai Jingrou isn¡¯t your granddaughter?¡± Her voice was very soft.
A hint of astonishment shed past Long Jingyuan¡¯s gaze. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I did a DNA test with the hair she previously brought to me. Her father is my son, Long Xuan. The DNA test conducted with her hair also revealed that she is my granddaughter. Those tests cannot be wrong. I personally watched it happen. There is no way the samples were reced.¡±
¡°The results from DNA tests are undeniable.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°Could you tell me why you chased Long Xuan, your third son, out of your home that year?¡±
Chapter 764 - Blood Type
Chapter 764: Blood Type
Long Jingyuan recalled his memories from the past. His voice was filled with sadness. ¡°That was more than twenty years ago. My third son, Long Xuan, met a woman. That woman was selfish and insisted upon my son to marry into her family. What did her demand count for? Her family background was not of any value. I was so angry at the time, I locked Long Xuan up for several days and gave him a good beating. Still, he insisted on being with that woman.¡±
Fang Xinxin remained silent as she listened.
¡°I once sought that woman out and tried to give her some money to leave Long Xuan, but she refused. I thought that she had taken a liking to Long Xuan¡¯s status as the Long family¡¯s third young master, and desired more than that sum of money.¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s voice was filled with both anger and sadness. ¡°Afterwards, for the sake of revealing her true colours to Long Xuan, I gave him two choices. The first was to remain in the Long family and breakup with her, while the second was to scram out of the Long family forever if he wished to marry her. This would mean that he would no longer be rted to the Long family and could not tell anyone that he was the Long family¡¯s third son.¡±
He sighed heavily. ¡°I only thought about giving Long Xuan a scare. I didn¡¯t expect him to choose the second option without hesitating in the slightest. I also did not expect that he wouldpletely disappear from my life from that day onwards.¡±
Long Jingyuan¡¯s tears began to flow. ¡°Truthfully, over the past few years, my initial anger, upset and worry¡ has been reced by regret. But despite my efforts to look for him, he never returned. I did not expect Jingrou to approach me with news of his death. If he had struggled to provide a living for himself outside and sought my help, I would have forgiven him.¡±
Fang Xinxin reached for some tissues and handed it to him. ¡°Grandfather Long, may I ask what that woman¡¯s name was?¡±
¡°Xuan Er called him Xiao Lan.¡± Long Jingyuan wiped his tears. ¡°She was amon woman of lowly birth. I never looked into her background.¡±
¡°Even the names are the same¡¡± Fang Xinxin murmured softly.
¡°What?¡± Long Jingyuan did not understand.
¡°My mother¡¯s name is Fang Ln,¡± said Fang Xinxin suddenly.
It was public knowledge that Long Yifan had married into his wife¡¯s family. Fang Xinxin¡¯s birth mother was Fang Ln¡ Long Jingyuan began to suspect something. He turned to Fang Xinxin in shock and hope. ¡°Could it be that¡¡±
¡°Grandfather Long.¡± Fang Xinxin suddenly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you conducted a DNA test to confirm your rtionship with Bai Jingrou? Take a guess. What blood type do you think Bai Jingrou has?¡±
¡°My Long family¡¯s bloodline is the rare Rh B Negative Blood.¡± Long Jingyuan suggested. ¡°She should have the same.¡±
¡°A few days ago, you fell into aa due to the serious injury on your forehead and needed a blood transfusion.¡± Fang Xinxin exined the matter. ¡°The doctor asked Bai Jingrou and she said her blood type was O, and that she took after her mother.¡±
¡°Although that is possible, the likelihood is quite small.¡± Long Jingyuan was deep in thought. ¡°Who donated the blood to me, then?¡±
¡°It was me.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed at herself.
¡°What a coincidence. Your blood type is also Rh Negative B?¡±
¡°En.¡± She smiled. ¡°You also find this to be a coincidence. There is something even more coincidental. This hospital doesn¡¯t have this blood in their reserve. But Jia Ya Hospital currently has three people with this blood type.¡±
Long Jingyuan took in her charming little face and genuinely felt the urge to love and protect her as one did to their family. ¡°Besides the two of us, who is the other person?¡±
Chapter 765 - Xins Father, Long Yifan, Is Long Xuan
Chapter 765: Xin¡¯s Father, Long Yifan, Is Long Xuan
¡°My father¡ Long Yifan,¡± Fang Xinxin answered him.
Long Jingyuan suddenly understood. He sat up from the bed abruptly. ¡°This cannot be coincidental. It¡¯s very possible that your father, Long Yifan, is my son, Long Xuan!¡±
Fang Xinxin nodded lightly. ¡°I was also considering this possibility.¡±
¡°Hurry!¡± Long Jingyuan trembled from agitation. He got off the bed without pausing to put on his slippers. ¡°I¡¯m going to see Long Yifan. Right now!¡±
¡°My father has been on the hospital bed for several years. A few minutes won¡¯t make any difference. Please put on your shoes first.¡± Fang Xinxin supported him up and knelt down to help him put on his slippers. She then supported him out of the hospital room. ¡°I arranged for my father to be in the room right next door so that it would be convenient for you to see him.¡±
Right as they approached the hospital room next door, Long Jingyuan suddenly froze in fear.
Fang Xinxin turned to him in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Grandfather Long?¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be disappointed.¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s hand froze in mid-air. He was deeply fearful that after pushing this door open, he would not see the son whom he had been missing dearly.
¡°In that case, let me show you a photo of him first.¡± Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and tapped on one of the pictures she had saved. In the image, a lively middle-aged man was captured. He had very short hair and a squarish jawline. His brows were slightly furrowed with worry and this caused him to appear slightly old. This photo was taken a long time ago.
Long Jingyuan was extremely agitated. ¡°He¡ he is your father?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± She nodded.
¡°That¡¯s my son, my Xuan Er!¡± Long Jingyuan mustered up his courage after looking at the photo. He pushed the hospital room door open.
A middle-aged man was asleep on the bed right next to the window. Although he was still in his forties, his hair had begun to grey. Perhaps it was because of hisa and because he had relied on IV for nutrition for a long time, he appeared especially thin and fragile.
After twenty years, the man¡¯s appearance had changed significantly. Still, Long Jingyuan immediately recognised the unconscious man to be his son, Long Xuan!
¡°Xuan Er, Xuan Er!¡± Long Jingyuan cried as he trembled.
He approached the bedside and took in the sight of his son who was still alive and well. Although his son could not respond to him, Long Jingyuan was already in tears. For him, all he needed was for him to be alive.
Fang Xinxin tugged a chair over and supported him to sit down.
Long Jingyuan sat down by the bedside and held Long Yifan¡¯s hand tightly. He spoke up hoarsely. ¡°Xuan Er, it¡¯s Father. Father is here to see you! I¡¯ve finally found you!¡±
Fang Xinxin began to tear up at this scene.
It turned out that aside from her father, she still had another living rtive in this world.
Perhaps it was because he had heard his father¡¯s call, a tear rolled down Long Yifan¡¯s cheek.
Fang Xinxin became extremely agitated. She immediately said, ¡°Grandfather Long, look! My father is crying! He must be able to hear you. Continue speaking to him! Around two years ago, my father seemingly heard me speaking and teared up as well. The doctor mentioned that such reactions are a sign that he may regain consciousness!¡±
Long Yifan immediately became even more agitated. He stood up. ¡°My son, you can hear me speaking, can¡¯t you? I miss you. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have chased you out of the family or disagreed with your marriage. Your eldest brother passed away a long time ago. Your second brother also died in a car ident a while back. You¡¯re my only son now. I can¡¯t lose you. I absolutely can¡¯t!¡±
Chapter 766 - Xinxin Is The Successor Of The Long Group
Chapter 766: Xinxin Is The Sessor Of The Long Group
All of a sudden, Long Yifan opened his eyes.
Fang Xinxin thought she was seeing things. Her father was actually awake?
She rubbed her eyes and took another look. Father Long Yifan¡¯s eyes remained open. She immediately teared up in joy. ¡°My god, my father is awake! Thank god! He is finally awake!¡±
Long Jingyuan was simrly crying in joy. He whispered. ¡°Thank god, thank god!¡±
¡°Doctor, we need to call a doctor!¡± Fang Xinxin was about to call for assistance.
At this moment, Bai Qinghao coincidentally brought Doctor Shi Qian into the room.
When they saw that Long Yifan was awake, they became astonished.
Bai Qinghao approached Fang Xinxin¡¯s side and embraced her. He attempted to wipe her tears away in a heart ache. ¡°My wife, don¡¯t cry.¡±
His wife had previously brought up the possibility that she could be Long Jingyuan¡¯s only granddaughter. Based on the current situation, it seemed like that had turned out to be the truth. He was also happy that she had found another family member.
Fang Xinxin nodded. ¡°I¡¯m just so happy.¡±
Doctor Shi Qian carefully conducted a thorough examination for Long Yifan. He then sighed in amazement. ¡°I never expected Mr. Long Yifan to regain consciousness after five years of being in aa. This is truly a miracle.¡±
¡°How is my father¡¯s health?¡± Fang Xinxin asked urgently. ¡°Will he make a full recovery?¡±
¡°The patient has been in aa for too long and his muscles have seriously atrophied. He won¡¯t be able to stand up within a short amount of time. Although it¡¯s impossible for him to recover to his original state of health, if he is well taken care of and diligently participates in physiotherapy, he should have no issues in regaining his independence,¡± Shi Qian exined professionally.
¡°That¡¯s good enough, that¡¯s good enough. This is wonderful!¡± Long Jingyuan was crying like a child despite his age.
He had thought that he was left all alone as an old man to live out his final days. He never expected Long Xuan to still be alive.
He nced at Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao.
He even had a stunningly beautiful and precious granddaughter, and an extremely outstanding grandson-inw.
Long Jingyuan felt that his life was absolutely perfect right now. Even if he had to die now, he would¡ still have some regrets.
Bai Jingrou, that vixen, who had impersonated the Long family¡¯s sessor, was yet to be dealt with.
She was a ticking time bomb!
However, right now, he was too happy to deal with her.
On the hospital bed, Long Yifan¡¯s lips moved as though he was trying to say something.
¡°What is he saying?¡± Doctor Shi Qian nced at Long Yifan and struggled to hear him.
¡°Father, I¡¯m unfilial¡¡± Long Yifan¡¯s gaze was fixated on Long Jingyuan and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely be heard.
Long Jingyuan leaned closer and somehow managed to hear him. He was once more in tears. ¡°My son, I¡¯m the one who was wrong. I was too foolish!¡±
Director Long was actually addressing Long Yifan as his son? Doctor Shi Qian was taken aback. He immediately understood that there was a problem with Bai Jingrou¡¯s identity.
He nced at Fang Xinxin. She had already be Qiao Yang Group¡¯s director with her own abilities. If she was also the Long Group¡¯s sessor, her status would be even more valuable.
Shi Qian was astonished but this shock on his face onlysted for a few seconds. He restrained himself andforted Long Jingyuan. ¡°Elder Long, please do not be too agitated. Although your son has just woken up, your body is also still quite weak. Be careful not to overwhelm yourself.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t, I won¡¯t.¡± Long Jingyuan held onto Long Yifan¡¯s hand tightly, refusing to let go. ¡°I¡¯m so happy!¡±
He was deeply moved.
The moment his son regained consciousness, he reprimanded himself for being unfilial. It was clear that his son still greatly valued him as a father.
Chapter 767 - Family Reunion
Chapter 767: Family Reunion
Shi Qian was a little confused. ¡°How did you manage to agitate Mr. Long Yifan earlier? If it wasn¡¯t with a sufficiently intense emotional reaction, he wouldn¡¯t have woken up. Of course, it¡¯s a miracle that he even regained consciousness. Perhaps it is more suitable to ask Mr. Long Yifan this question.¡± If it had been anyone else, they would not have been able to wake up from a longa like this and would have most likely, passed away in that state.
Long Yifan was cared for in the Jia Ya Hospital and received very good treatment. He also had a strong desire to live. This was one of the reasons why he was able to regain consciousness.
¡°Of course, Mr. Long Yifan can choose not to answer my question. I am asking this out of my own personal curiosity. I hope to understand the situation a little better.¡± Shi Qian¡¯s expression was filled with anticipation.
Fang Xinxin fed her father some warm water. After his throat felt a little better, he spoke up hoarsely. ¡°I heard my father calling me. Over the years, I¡¯ve always wanted to return home¡ My father said that I was the only person he had left¡ I was worried and wanted to look at him¡ so I woke up.¡±
He spoke slowly in a shaky voice. Everyone listened attentively and tried their best to understand before they got the whole gist of it.
When Shi Qian heard this, he sighed in wonder. ¡°The power of family is indeed amazing. Thank you for answering my question, Mr. Long Yifan. Have a good rest.¡± He brought up a few more matters for the patient to pay attention to before leaving the hospital room.
¡°Father¡¡± Long Yifan kept repeating. ¡°I¡¯m unfilial¡¡±
Long Jingyuan was both heartbroken and overjoyed as he cried. ¡°No, no. I was wrong.¡±
Long Yifan¡¯s gaze shifted onto his daughter, Fang Xinxin. He wanted to wave her over but found that he did not even have the strength to raise his hand. He could only call for her. ¡°Xinxin¡¡±
¡°Dad!¡± Fang Xinxin approached his bedside and took in his thin figure with teary eyes.
She had wanted to help her father gain some weight.
However, he could only rely on IV for nutrition in hisa and it was impossible for him to gain any weight. She could only watch as he grew thinner and thinner by the day.
¡°You¡¯ve suffered¡¡± As Long Yifan took in the daughter he loved dearly, he began to tear up again.
Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m doing very well.¡± She tugged Bai Qinghao close and said to him, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve been married to Qinghao for some time. I regret that you weren¡¯t able to attend our wedding.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. As long as you are both happy.¡± Long Yifan sized up Bai Qinghao.
He saw that his figure was tall and strong, and he had a cold and powerful aura. With one nce, it was clear that this was an outstanding and capable individual.
He had always been very satisfied with Bai Qinghao and Xinxin¡¯s childhood engagement.
¡°Father,¡± Bai Qinghao addressed him heavily.
¡°Good, good.¡± Long Yifan nodded again. Having a son-inw was akin to having another son. His gaze shifted around the room. ¡°How long was I unconscious for? Where is your mother and your brother? And Manxue?¡±
¡°¡¡±
Long Jingyuan, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin fell silent.
Too much had happened in the past five years.
¡°Father, you¡¯ve been unconscious for five years.¡± Bai Qinghao said finally, ¡°A lot of things have happened since then. I will exin them in detail to you at ater date.¡±
Xinxin¡¯s matters were also his. It was the same if he exined them.
However, Long Yifan¡¯s body was currently weak and it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to suffer any agitation.
Long Jingyuan knew of the Fang family¡¯s matters. He rushed to speak up. ¡°My child, you¡¯ve just awoken. Focus on recovering first.¡±
A sense of foreboding filled Long Yifan. ¡°They¡¡±
Fang Xinxin suddenly realised. ¡°Look at me. I was so happy that I forgot to inform Brother.¡± She then brought her phone out to give Shaohua a call.
Chapter 768 - Compatible Backgrounds
Chapter 768: Compatible Backgrounds
On the other end of the call, when Fang Shaohua learned that his father had woken up, he became extremely agitated.
Fang Xinxin ended the call and said, ¡°Dad, Brother says he is on the way to the hospital right now. You¡¯ll get to see him soon.¡±
Long Yifan had just gained consciousness and he struggled to recall his memories. All of a sudden, he remembered something. He hurriedly held onto Fang Xinxin¡¯s hands. ¡°My daughter, there¡¯s something wrong with your mother. She isn¡¯t your mom! Her sister, Fang Liyin, is impersonating her!¡±
¡°Dad, I already know about this matter.¡± She nodded.
Her father spoke slowly and with some difficulty.
She realised that her father had suffered a stroke and fallen into aa because Fang Liyin added a drug into his food that would worsen his illness.
Five years ago, her father suspected that something was amiss with Fang Liyin. Thus, he followed her secretly to a rented apartment and caught her in an affair with another man. He had be extremely angry and suffered a stroke. Due to the drug he had been fed, his condition immediately worsened and he fell into aa.
Right before hepletely lost consciousness, he had heard that adulterer addressing Fang Ln as Fang Liyin.
It was only then that he became certain that his sister-inw was actually pretending to be his wife.
Fang Xinxin felt that, rather than having Bai Qinghao exin everything that happened in their family, it would be better to do so herself.
Thus, she detailed everything that Fang Liyin, Yang Xueyao and Fang Manxue had done in the past few years.
She also informed him that Fang Liyin had already been shot to death, while Yang Xueyao and Fang Manxue were both sentenced to life imprisonment.
She also exined Fang Shaohua¡¯s matters to him.
The only thing she did not bring up was the news of her mother¡¯s death.
When Long Yifan heard this, he fell silent for a long time.
Even Long Jingyuan, who was seated by the side, could not resist cursing Fang Liyin and her family.
¡°Fang Liyin and her familymitted too many evil acts. They deserve the punishment.¡± Long Yifan replied seriously.
His expression was filled with guilt as he took his daughter in. ¡°Xinxin, this is all my fault. I wasn¡¯t able to help you after I fell unconscious and even burdened you. You¡¯ve suffered.¡±
¡°Dad, don¡¯t say that.¡± Fang Xinxin shook her head. ¡°I was the one who didn¡¯t take good care of you.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Long Yifan did not miss the information she had left out. ¡°What about your mother¡ where is she now¡±?
¡°She¡¡± Fang Xinxin could not tell him that her mother was already dead, and that her body had been buried in the storeroom in the Fang family home for more than seven years.
She did not wish to agitate her father and could only tell him a kind lie. ¡°We¡¯ve lost contact with her. When you¡¯ve recovered, won¡¯t you personally go look for her?¡±
¡°Yes, of course.¡± Long Yifan appeared worried but resolved. ¡°I need to recover quickly so I can go look for her.¡±
Fang Xinxin fed him some lightly seasoned porridge. As he had just awoken, it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to have anything oily.
After Fang Shaohua arrived at the hospital, another emotional reunion ured.
Shaohua was overjoyed that his adopted father had gained consciousness, while Long Yifan¡¯s heart ached for the jail term his adopted son had suffered.
He was also especially happy that his adopted son was already married.
Afterwards, Elder Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi also visited Long Yifan at the hospital.
The three of them were especially surprised that Long Yifan was actually the son who had been chased out of the Long Group years ago.
Originally, Fang Xinxin¡¯s background had been a little poorer than Bai Qinghao¡¯s.
However, now, she was not only the Qiao Yang Group¡¯s Director but also the Long Group¡¯s Director¡¯s only granddaughter. Her status was beyond valuable and in terms of family background, she was definitelypatible with Bai Qinghao.
Chapter 769 - Confrontation
Chapter 769: Confrontation
The fact that Long Jingyuan had found his long lost son and granddaughter after years was kept a secret.
Although both Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi were Bai family members, they remained unaware of this fact.
Two weekster, Long Jingyuan made a full recovery from his wound and was discharged from the hospital.
As for Long Yifan, or more urately, Long Xuan, he had also recovered significantly. As he did not wish to remain in the hospital everyday, Fang Xinxin brought him back to the Yu Ting Vi to recover.
It hadn¡¯t been easy for Long Jingyuan to reunite with his son. He naturally followed him to the Yu Ting Vi for a temporary stay.
In any case, there were many rooms in the Yu Ting Vi and it was no trouble having them over.
On this day, Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu came to the Yu Ting Vi with the request to see Bai Qinghao.
To their surprise, they were sessfully led into Yu Ting Vi¡¯s living room.
Bai Qinghao was sitting on the couch. His posture was upright and his expression was frigidly cold. He carried the aura of a ruler about him.
Fang Xinxin, who was indescribably beautiful, sat by his side.
Bai Chenxi took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s fair skin and stunning beauty. He began to feel a sense of jealousy and anger once more.
This woman was supposed to be his! He deeply regretted not epting her feelings back then.
¡°Qinghao ah, you detained Jingrou when Elder Long became unconscious. So many days have passed since then.¡± Huang Zhishu nced at Bai Qinghao carefully and attempted to ask. ¡°Even if she did something wrong, she has received the punishment she deserves. Isn¡¯t it time to release her?¡±
Bai Qinghao was expressionless. His lips twitched ever so slightly into a hint of smile. He lifted the cigar between his fingers and took a draw. Wisps of smoke rose into the air.
Huang Zhishi could not guess his thoughts and the atmosphere turned awkward.
At this moment, Long Jingyuan, who had gone for a stroll, returned.
When Huang Zhishu saw him, she immediately greeted him warmly. ¡°Elder Long, you¡¯re just in time. Qinghao suspects that Jingrou has bad intentions against you and has detained her. It¡¯s been eighteen days since he put her under guard. Aren¡¯t you doing just fine right now? Jingrou is a child with a good heart. Please speak up for her.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Bai Chenxi pitched in as well. ¡°Elder Long, don¡¯t forget that Jingrou is yourst living rtive. Can you bear to watch her suffer as she remains locked up?¡±
He had waited with his mother for some time, but the Bai family did not seem to wish to deal with Jingrou in any way.
They thus believed that Long Jingyuan did not tell anyone that Jingrou had attempted to murder him. They assumed that it was because the old man could not bear to lose his only living rtive in this world.
Huang Zhishu continued hopefully. ¡°Elder Long, you must havee to the Yu Ting Vi to beg for mercy on behalf of Jingrou, right?¡±
Both of them did not know that Long Jingyuan was temporarily living in the Yu Ting Vi.
¡°Qinghao, let Bai Jingrou out. Let¡¯s resolve this matter,¡± Long Jingyuan finally spoke up.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand. A bodyguard waiting by the side went to the storeroom in the building next to the main vi and dragged Bai Jingrou over.
Bai Jingrou¡¯s hands were pressed behind her back. She entered the living room to see that both her mother and brother were present. She nodded slightly at them. She then saw Long Jingyuan standing in the living room with his hands behind his back. She was very surprised that the damn old man was still alive!
In that case, the fact that she had smashed a vase over his head could no longer be concealed. She immediately put on a guilty expression and spoke apologetically. ¡°Grandfather!¡±
¡°I am not your grandfather.¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s wrinkled face was extremely cold.
Bai Jingrou did not know that her status had been exposed and assumed he was still angry at her for plotting to murder him.
She considered the fact that no one had dealt with this matter for so long and felt certain that the old man¡¯s heart must have softened by now. He must not be able to bear to expose her misdeeds.
Thus, she knelt towards Long Jingyuan in tears. ¡°Grandfather, Jingrou was foolish and made a mistake. Please forgive me!¡±
Chapter 770 - Escape The Blame
Chapter 770: Escape The me
¡°Tell me then, what mistake did you make?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Jingrou searched for the right words. ¡°I was careless and didn¡¯t hold the vase properly. I ended up injuring your head.¡±
¡°Careless?¡± Long Jingyuan smiled mockingly. ¡°You sure are able toe up with a new way to describe murdering someone for their money.¡±
Bai Jingrou lifted her head to look at him in shock. ¡°Grandfather, how could you think that way? You¡¯re my only living rtive. How could I possibly try and harm you for money?¡±
¡°Back when you smashed that vase against my head, I keenly felt the force you applied to that blow which showed your murderous intent.¡± Long Jingyuan nced at Fang Xinxin gratefully. ¡°If Xinxin hadn¡¯t rushed over in time, I would have died in your hands!¡±
¡°Grandfather, you¡¯ve really misunderstood me!¡± Bai Jingrou refused to admit to it. She turned and red at Fang Xinxin in anger. ¡°It¡¯s you. You must have set up this trap for me because you are greedy for the Long family¡¯s wealth.¡±
¡°Oh? What kind of trap did I set up for you?¡± Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. ¡°Could it be that I forced you into smashing the flower vase against Elder Long¡¯s head?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Bai Jingrou had no choice but to admit that she had hurt him with the vase.
First of all, Long Jingyuan had personally witnessed her doing so. Secondly, her fingerprints were on the vase.
¡°Grandfather, no matter what, Fang Xinxin is the one with bad intentions. She wasn¡¯t satisfied with the ten percent of shares you gave her.¡± Bai Jingrou spoke as though with good intentions. ¡°You mustn¡¯t be fooled by her.¡±
Bai Qinghao held his wife while sitting on the couch. When he heard Bai Jingrou pushing all her crimes onto his wife¡¯s head, he dearly wished he could shoot this whore to death right this instant!
However, this was the Long family¡¯s matters and he had promised not to interfere. Thus, he maintained his silence.
When this matter was settled, he would eliminate Bai Jingrou, this troublemaker!
Long Jingyuan was unmoved by her words. He sat down on the couch and a servant quickly served him a cup of hot tea.
Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu remained standing. No one paid any attention to them.
It was silent in the living room for a moment. Long Jingyuan unhurriedly tasted the tea. ¡°You know Auntie Qiu, don¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression turned flustered for a moment. She pretended to be confused as she looked around the living room. ¡°Grandfather, are you asking me that?¡±
¡°Obviously.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡± Jingrou shook her head obediently.
Long Jingyuan lifted his hand and a servant brought a stack of photos over.
In the photos, Bai Jingrou was captured while in a secret meeting with Auntie Qiu. The photos clearly depicted scenes of Jingrou handing arge bag over to Auntie Qiu. After Bai Jingrou left, Auntie Qiu opened the bag and counted the money inside. There was around a hundred thousand dors.
When Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu saw the photos, they both turned pale. However, they remained silent.
¡°Do you recognise her now?¡± A hint of rage could be heard in Long Jingyuan¡¯s voice. ¡°She is the Fang family¡¯s ex-servant. Tell us, why did you give her a hundred thousand dors?¡±
Bai Jingrou did not expect her meeting with Auntie Qiu to be photographed! She felt a sense of foreboding and immediately began making up stories. ¡°It¡¯s like this. I was out shopping once and nearly got into a car ident. It was Auntie Qiu who saved me. I gave her the money as a form of my gratitude.¡±
¡°Why did you say you didn¡¯t know her earlier, then?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t wish to ruin my benefactor¡¯s reputation.¡± Bai Jingrou lied to his face.
Chapter 771 - Another DNA Test?
Chapter 771: Another DNA Test?
Long Jingyuan did not expose her lies. ¡°What a coincidence. Right after you gave Auntie Qiu the money, she was killed in a car ident by Wang Xun. I¡¯m sure you know of Wang Xun, don¡¯t you? He is the killer you hired. And Ah Cai, the woman you hired to impersonate as the Bai family¡¯s gardener in order to trick Xinxin into leaving the house so that Wang Xun could kill her in the guise of a car ident. I¡¯m sure you never expected to be seen through, and for Wang Xun¡¯s car to hit Ah Cai instead.¡±
Bai Jingrou was overwhelmed with shock. On the surface, however, she maintained an innocent expression. ¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t understand what you are trying to say!¡±
But Long Jingyuan continued questioning her ruthlessly. ¡°I¡¯m sure you know of Liang Chen, don¡¯t you? She is the nurse who used to care for Fang Xinxin¡¯s father, Long Yifan.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never even met Fang Xinxin¡¯s father. How could I possibly know the nurse who used to take care of him?¡± Given how dire the circumstances were, Bai Jingrou was no longer afraid of worsening it.
No matter what he said, she absolutely would not admit it.
This was because the moment she did so, she would be admitting to murder.
¡°After Auntie Qiu passed away, Liang Chen left on a trip to the mountains and fell to her death. On that same trip, someone saw Wang Xun appear. You say, could it be that Wang Xun had pushed her off of the cliff?¡± Although Long Jingyuan was asking questions, he appeared to already know the answers.
¡°Grandfather, why are you bringing up all these people whom I don¡¯t know?¡± Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was filled with confusion.
¡°You insist on pretending further, is it?¡± Long Jingyuan went on to expose everything. ¡°Although Auntie Qiu and Liang Chen appear to be two, unrted individuals, they share amonality. They are both rted to the Fang family¡¯s people. Auntie Qiu used to be the Fang family¡¯s helper and had the ability to interact with everyone in the Fang family.¡± His gaze shifted onto his granddaughter, Fang Xinxin, who was seated on the couch. ¡°That includes Xinxin.¡±
He paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°As for Liang Chen, back when she was alive, she had been Long Yifan¡¯s, Fang Xinxin¡¯s father¡¯s, personal nurse. She had the ability to get close to Long Yifan.¡± His sharp, wise gazended on Bai Jingrou. ¡°Meanwhile, you brought your father¡¯s and ¡®your¡¯ hair to me and requested for a DNA test to be done. Based on the result, you were proven to be the Long Group¡¯s only sessor. Clearly, your ¡®father¡¯s¡¯ hair had been taken from Long Yifan by Nurse Liang Chen. As for ¡®your hair¡¯, Auntie Qiu had obtained them by searching through the trash bin for Fang Xinxin¡¯s hair while she had been working at the Fang home as a servant. It¡¯s no wonder that you were able to seed with the DNA test ploy. However, you must not have expected Auntie Qiu to realise the way you became the Long family¡¯s granddaughter, and to threaten you for money. Thus, you murdered her to silence her.¡±
Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu were both deeply astonished. It turned out that Long Jingyuan already knew that Fang Xinxin was his actual granddaughter. He even knew of all of the schemes hidden during this time!
It seemed¡ Jingrou was truly doomed this time.
Bai Jingrou also did not expect Long Jingyuan to know so much. Despite this, she harrumphed coldly. ¡°Grandfather, Auntie Qiu and Liang Chen are both dead. No matter how you nder me, you don¡¯t have any evidence behind these ims. How did you find out about these matters? Did Fang Xinxin tell you about them?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± It was Fang Xinxin who responded to her. ¡°I was the one who investigated these matters and told my grandfather about them.¡±
Long Jingyuan also nodded.
Bai Jingrou spoke angrily. ¡°You¡¯re even addressing him as your grandfather. You¡¯re truly harbouring evil motives.¡±
She then immediately said to Long Jingyuan, ¡°Grandfather, you must not believe in Fang Xinxin. This woman has too many connections and must have used them to pin her crimes on me. I¡¯m the one who did the DNA test with you. I¡¯m your actual granddaughter. She¡¯s trying to impersonate me. If you don¡¯t believe me, we can have another DNA test done!¡±
Chapter 772 - Caught Red Handed
Chapter 772: Caught Red Handed
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Look at that indignant expression!
She appeared as though she had a clean conscience.
In fact, Bai Jingrou understood that she had lost all her advantages. She only spoke the way she did to dy time.
It would be best if she could find an opportunity to escape on their way to the hospital.
¡°Since the DNA test has already been done, what¡¯s the point of repeating it?¡± Long Jingyuan was unmoved.
At this moment, a maid pushed a middle-aged man on a wheelchair into the living room.
Long Jingyuan pointed at the middle-aged man. ¡°I¡¯m sure you know him, don¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Jingrou did not know that Long Yifan had woken up from hisatose state. She sized him up and found him a little familiar, but could not recognise where she had previously seen him.
Long Yifan spoke up to tease her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were my daughter? You can¡¯t even recognise your own father?¡±
¡°¡¡± Bai Jingrou jumped in shock. ¡°You¡¯re Long Xuan!¡±
She had seen Long Xuan¡¯s old photos. Although the man before her appeared much thinner, they were indeed the same person.
¡°Inw, you¡¯ve finally awoken!¡± Huang Zhishu pretended to greet him happily. ¡°Thank god, you regained consciousness!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Uncle. Now that you¡¯re awake, my cousin-inw must be very happy.¡±
¡°Who is your inw, or your Uncle?¡± Long Yifan was not fooled by their acts. His expression was especially poor. ¡°Scram aside!¡±
The two of them were deeply embarrassed. Theirplexions alternated between turning red and pale. Still, they took a few steps back.
Long Jingyuan approached his son¡¯s wheelchair and helped to pull the nket further up his waist. ¡°Xuan Er, Father is at fault. Previously, I had nned to visit you right after Xinxin¡¯s wedding. At the time, I did not know that you were Long Yifan. Bai Jingrou was too scheming. She threw a fuss before me iming to be jealous and heartbroken of my fondness for Fang Xinxin. She stopped me from seeing you at that time. I was too foolish and was not able to visit you immediately. I never expected it to lead to so much trouble.¡±
¡°Father, this isn¡¯t your fault.¡± A hint of guilt shed past Long Yifan¡¯s gaze. ¡°I¡¯m unfilial. I was unable to care for you as I should have, for far too long.¡±
¡°I was also wrong back then.¡± Long Jingyuan continued. He appeared deeply heartbroken. ¡°Back then, I shouldn¡¯t have chased you out of the family.¡±
His wise gaze shifted to re at Bai Jingrou. ¡°My son is still alive here. Previously, you made use of Xinxin and his hair to conduct a DNA test with me. The results from that were all urate. What¡¯s the need to repeat a DNA test with you, Bai Jingrou? You wish to look for an escape? I think it¡¯s time for you to obediently ept your death. You impersonated as my granddaughter, you scammed me for two million dors, and even attempted to murder me. Not only so, you killed Auntie Qiu and Liang Chen. The responsibility for all of these is enough for you to be shot to death several times over!¡±
Bai Jingrou finally turned pale and fell on the ground. She murmured to herself. ¡°No¡ I don¡¯t want to die!¡± She lost control as she climbed towards Long Jingyuan. ¡°Grandfather Long, considering that I was your granddaughter for a while, please let me off! Please let me off!¡±
¡°You¡¯re asking me to let you off? Would you have spared my life?¡±
¡°I really wasn¡¯t after your life¡¡±
¡°You left me with a serious injury on my head and right after that, you hypnotised Doctor Guo Yi to inject Long Xuan and me with a medicine that would kill us in our sleep. All of your actions were recorded by the surveince cameras.¡± A hint of murderous intent shed past Long Jingyuan¡¯s gaze. ¡°If Xinxin hadn¡¯t been prepared for your schemes, Xuan Er and I would both be dead by now.¡±
He tossed a phone towards Bai Jingrou.. On the screen, the video clip of Bai Jingrou hypnotizing Doctor Guo Yi and posing as a nurse to apany him as he harmed Long Jingyuan and Long Xuan was being yed.
Chapter 773 - Sacrificing To Protect Something More Important
Chapter 773: Sacrificing To Protect Something More Important
Bai Jingrou nced at the clip being yed. ¡°I clearly turned the surveince cameras off beforehand.¡±
¡°I sent someone else to install a pinhole camera.¡± Fang Xinxin answered her question.
¡°But, I personally witnessed Doctor Guo Yi injecting Long Jingyuan and Long Xuan with the medicine that would kill them. I even watched as they stopped breathing. Why are they still alive?¡±
¡°I arranged for criminals on death sentences to put on high-quality synthetic masks and for them to rece the two of them. You were nervous at the time, and stood behind Doctor Guo Yi as a nurse. Hence, you failed to gain a clear look at them. The people who died were criminals on death sentences. As for the reason they were willing to cooperate, it¡¯s because I promised to give their families a sum of money. In any case, they were doomed to die. Thanks to you, however, they were able to diefortably and with a peaceful mind.¡±
¡°I see.¡± Bai Jingrou suddenlyughed maniacally. She hadpletely lost the facade of a refined and gracefuldy which she usually maintained. ¡°Fang Xinxin, you are indeed capable. It¡¯s no wonder that you were able to be Madam Bai!¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°You¡¯re finally admitting that you desire the position of Madam Bai.¡±
¡°Indeed. By this point, there¡¯s no use in begging for mercy. I also have nothing else to hide.¡± Bai Jingrou suddenly turned towards Bai Qinghao emotionally. ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re so outstanding. You say, how could there be a woman who doesn¡¯t love you?¡±
Her tone became despondent. ¡°We¡¯re not rted by blood. Although I live in the Bai family and the outsiders consider us to be close family members, I¡¯ve never been able to approach you. You¡¯ve always looked down on me. I only wanted to be good enough for you. That is why I became foolish and impersonated being the Long family¡¯s sessor¡¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips twitched into a faint, cold smile. ¡°You¡¯re greedy, vain and full of heinous schemes. You sure know how to push the me onto me. Was the wealth and glory that the Bai family gave you insufficient? You clearly knew that Fang Xinxin and I have been engaged since we were children. Our marriage was inevitable. No matter how pitiful you act, death is your only consequence!¡±
¡°Cousin¡¡± Bai Jingrou turned flustered.
As long as she gained a hint of sympathy from this man, she would be able to escape death. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m a member of the Bai family. You can¡¯t take my life just because I made a mistake against the Long family¡¡±
¡°Your mother has already released you from the Bai family¡¯s name.¡± Bai Qinghao informed her of the truth coldly.
¡°No¡¡± Bai Jingrou turned to her birth mother in disbelief. ¡°Mom, how could you do such a thing?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Jingrou.¡± Huang Zhishu appeared deeply apologetic. ¡°At the time, you were being held by Bai Qinghao. I thought I would be able to exchange your freedom in this way. I never expected¡¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t expect for Cousin to be even more ruthless after taking the Bai family¡¯s name away from me, did you?¡± Bai Jingrou suddenly turned miserable. ¡°After all, I¡¯m not your birth daughter. I¡¯m only an adopted child. I can¡¯t me you for abandoning me for the sake of holding onto your own position in the Bai family.¡±
¡°Jingrou¡¡± Huang Zhishu appeared heartbroken. ¡°I¡¯ve always treated you like my own¡¡±
In fact, Bai Chenxi and Jingrou were both her blood-rted children. However, this secretly had to be kept safe, no matter what.
With the way the situation had escted, they could only make a sacrifice for something more important and give up on Jingrou.
Bai Jingrou also understood that there were no benefits to dragging her mother and brother down with her. Her chances for survival were dependent on their safety!
Thus, she said so intentionally.
Bai Chenxi also reprimanded her with an expression of heartache. ¡°Sister, you were too foolish. How could youmit murder for money!¡±
Chapter 774 - Last Wish
Chapter 774: Last Wish
¡°Everything has already been done. I don¡¯t wish to listen to anyone¡¯s lecture.¡± Bai Jingrou appeared numb.
She turned to Bai Qinghao and watched as he wrapped his arms gently around Fang Xinxin. She suddenly said, ¡°Cousin, is Fang Xinxin really that great? It¡¯s been so many years. Is she really so wonderful that your eyes never turned in my direction even once?¡±
¡°Do you wish to know why?¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was cold and heavy. It did not hold the slightest feelings for her.
¡°Why?¡± Bai Jingrou wanted to know this too much.
A hint of disdain shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s dark and distant gaze. ¡°Because you¡¯re dirty. No matter how refined or graceful you act, you can never conceal the greed and filth in your soul.¡±
¡°Hahaha, hahaha!¡± Bai Jingrou burst intoughter. Her voice was filled with misery.
Bai Qinghao found herughter a horrid noise. ¡°Servants, seal her lips up!¡±
¡°Wait.¡± Bai Jingrou rushed to stop. ¡°Cousin, I have a wish. I don¡¯t believe that after being the Bai family¡¯s adopted daughter for over twenty years, the Bai family¡¯s elders won¡¯t have any feelings for me. Your parents are one thing, but I wish to have a phone call with Grandfather Bai Chongshan.¡±
Bai Qinghao sped his hands together and rested them on hisp. He appeared noble and graceful. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±
¡°I¡¯m doomed to die. Considering that I¡¯m a member of the Bai family, won¡¯t you grant me my final wish?¡±
Bai Qinghao smiled cruelly. ¡°I like it best when the dead pass on with their grievances undealt and unresolved.¡±
Bai Jingrou teared up miserable. Her smile turned soft and beautiful. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I understand that you¡¯re ruthless and cruel. I also understand that you will never be interested in me. That is why I sent someone to assassinate you two years ago when you were at the border. A few days ago, I simrly arranged for assassins to hide in ambush and take your life. That is because I won¡¯t allow Fang Xinxin to have the man I can¡¯t have!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± It wasn¡¯t clear if Bai Qinghao believed in her. He felt that things weren¡¯t as simple as she made it sound. Still, he asked with some interest. ¡°Tell me more about it. A woman like you, how did you manage to contact and move those assassins?¡±
Bai Jingrou did not go into the details. She only responded with four words. ¡°Money can do anything.¡±
Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. She felt that the person who had tried to murder Bai Qinghao wasn¡¯t Bai Jingrou.
Those assassins were simply too capable. Money alone was unlikely to move them.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gaze swept past Bai Jingrou. He appeared to see right through her. ¡°You¡¯re admitting to this crime voluntarily. Who are you trying to protect?¡±
¡°I was the one who did it. Forget it if you won¡¯t believe me.¡± Bai Jingrou pursed her lips and fell silent.
Huang Zhishu suddenly brought her phone out and dialed Elder Bai Chongshan¡¯s number. She hurriedly said, ¡°Father, Jingrou is in trouble. You have to save her¡¡±
Bai Chongshan¡¯s voice could be heard from the other end. ¡°Qinghao has already informed me that she attempted to murder someone for money. Her death will evoke no pity from me!¡±
¡°But Father, no matter what, she is still your adopted granddaughter. Over the years, she has been considerably obedient in the Bai family¡¡±
¡°Obedient?¡± Bai Chongshan smiled coldly. ¡°The fishes in the old mansion¡¯ske all died overnight because she poisoned them. The dogs also howled in the middle of the night because she injected them with a drug. Even Hao Changsheng, the male servant who attempted to stab me¡ though it appears that he died from a heart attack, in truth, he was hypnotised by Bai Jingrou. I¡¯ve already located his apartment and found the medicine he was taking for his heart condition prior to his death. They were all reced with something else.¡±
Chapter 775 - Fondness
Chapter 775: Fondness
¡°¡±Right before the incident, a servant noticed Jingrou sneaking into Hao Chengsheng¡¯s room. What would a wealthy youngdy like her have to do in a servant¡¯s room? It could only be to rece his medicine. Bai Jingrou also previously attempted to rece Xinxin¡¯s red packet, worth eighteen million dors, with a few hundred dors. She clearly disyed that her character is lowly and evil. She poisoned theke and killed all the fishes in an attempt to frame Fang Xinxin for ruining the Bai family¡¯s luck. Did she think that all of these would go unnoticed if she just hypnotised Butler Bai Mingde?¡±
Bai Chongshan¡¯s tone was heavy and exhausted. ¡°Butler Bai Mingde was never hypnotised by her. Or it would be more urate to say that her hypnosis was not strong enough to control the strong-willed Butler Bai. I¡¯ve always known about all this. I only suppressed these matters because I was giving face to her adopted father, and taking into consideration that we¡¯ve raised her for over twenty years. I¡¯ve reminded her multiple times¡ to not desire for the things that did not belong to her. I told her to live as an upright person. Did she listen to me? With how things have escted, I no longer wish to protect her nor am I willing to do so. Let¡¯s treat it as if the Bai family has never raised her.¡±
With that, he ended the call.
Huang Zhishu actually knew that Elder Bai Chongshan had some feelings for their family.
After all, for the past few years, she and her children have always apanied Elder Bai in the old mansion.
However, she did not expect him to be this aware about all of Jingrou¡¯s schemes. Right now, the only person who could rescue Jingrou was gone¡
Fang Xinxin recalled the events he had brought up. They had ended without any proper conclusions.
Based on the Bai family¡¯s intelligence, it was impossible for them not to look further into this matter.
She had suspected that Elder Bai was intentionally suppressing these matters and did not make a fuss about it.
It turned out that things were truly as she had surmised.
The only thing that surprised her was that Butler Bai Mingde actually hadn¡¯t been hypnotised.
Fang Xinxin calmly took in Bai Jingrou¡¯s paleplexion. ¡°Back when the newspapers wrote articles about how I purchased haunted apartments to ruin the Bai family¡¯s luck, though you did not personally instruct thepanies to do so and chose to send someone in your stead, that person still gave you away. At the time, Elder Bai had begged me to not give you any trouble for it.¡±
She sighed. ¡°Bai Jingrou, you always seem to think that the Bai family¡¯s elders don¡¯t have any fondness for you. But for all the schemes you¡¯ve executed, Elder Bai repeatedly requested for me to give you more opportunities. You¡¯re a member of the Bai family and he could never bear to punish you. He did not want you to die. Even Bai Qinghao¡¯s parents knew about this but they never interfered. This means that they gave you some face. The Bai family¡¯s elders may appear cold on the outside but they are all warm-hearted and do have warm feelings for you.¡±
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Otherwise, how could you possibly receive so much pocket money from the Bai family every month? You received new clothes and cosmetics every season, and even got new cars every three to five years. The Bai family has never mistreated you.¡±
Her gaze shifted onto Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi. ¡°They have never mistreated the two of you either.¡±
¡°But I don¡¯t want those!¡± Bai Jingrou did not seem to feel the slightest guilt. ¡°If they truly cared for me, they should have stopped Bai Qinghao and you from marrying! They should have made Bai Qinghao marry me!¡±
¡°No one can make decisions for me when ites to my marriage.¡± At this point, Bai Qinghao¡¯s words were also a silent admission of the Bai family¡¯s elders¡¯ feelings for Bai Jingrou.
After all, they had raised her for over twenty years. Even spending too much time with a cat or a dog would cause feelings to grow, much less a human.
He did not like Bai Jingrou. Still, he would not stop the Bai family¡¯s elders from treating her well.
Still, their protection meant nothing if she harmed Xinxin. He absolutely could not ept that.
It was due to Elder Bai¡¯s interference that he finally understood Bai Jingrou¡¯s schemes in the recent past.
Chapter 776 - Moving Out
Chapter 776: Moving Out
¡°Bai Jingrou, the Bai family¡¯s elders were able to endure your schemes.¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes.
His cold and heavy tone did not contain the slightest hint of warmth. ¡°But since you¡¯ve shown the desire to kill Xinxin, I won¡¯t tolerate you! Servants, drag Bai Jingrou away! Blind her eyes and break all her bones until she is doomed to be paralysed for a lifetime. Arrange for her to be shot to death muchter!¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± The bodyguards guarding by the door immediately stepped forward to drag Bai Jingrou out of the house.
Huang Zhishu turned pale in fright. She cried out in a flustered state. ¡°No, Qinghao, please have mercy¡¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp gazended on her and Huang Zhishu immediately shrunk back in fear.
Bai Chenxi understood that even God himself wouldn¡¯t be able to save Bai Jingrou now. He supported his mother¡¯s frail figure. ¡°Mom, these are the consequences of Jingrou¡¯s actions.¡±
¡°Cousin, how could you be this cruel¡¡± Bai Jingrou was now truly frightened. ¡°Even if you want me to die, you can shoot a bullet to my head and end my pain immediately. Why must you torture me like this?¡±
¡°Do you know where Ji Qing, the maid, is right now? Her corpse is in the ocean for the sharks to feast on. You hypnotised Ji Qing in an attempt to blind Xinxin. You then sent Wang Xun to hit Xinxin with his car in an attempt to leave her dead or atleast paralyze her.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze conveyed his murderous intent. ¡°Wang Xun has already confessed that you were the one who instructed him to do everything. I¡¯m going easy on you by returning your schemes to you. To think you still have the face to beg for mercy¡¡±
Bai Jingrou was pale, however, she refused to give up. ¡°Cousin, I was wrong. I beg you. Please consider me as a member of the Bai family and show me some mercy¡¡±
Bai Qinghao instructed coldly. ¡°Seal her lips. Take her away.¡±
A bodyguard immediately retrieved a white cloth from his pocket and stuffed it into Bai Jingrou¡¯s mouth. He then dragged her out to the front yard. Bai Jingrou¡¯s expression was filled with despair.
¡°Wait.¡± Bai Qinghao suddenly spoke up heavily.
A hint of hope shed past Bai Jingrou¡¯s gaze. Was he willing to show her some kindness?
¡°Even if Bai Jingrou is paralysed and blind, make sure that she is carefully watched. Don¡¯t let her escape. Take good ¡®care¡¯ of her at all times of the day! I want her remaining days to be worse than death!¡± Bai Qinghao instructed coldly.
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± The bodyguards immediately left to carry out his orders.
Huang Zhishu fainted from the immense heartache.
Bai Chenxi was trembling from head to toe and barely managed to control himself from begging for mercy on his sister¡¯s behalf.
Bai Jingrou was crying silently in despair. The bodyguards dragged her into a business car parked in the yard.
¡°My mother is feeling unwell. I¡¯ll send her back to the old mansion.¡± Bai Chenxi supported Huang Zhishu out of the Yu Ting Vi.
Long Jingyuan and Long Yifan were both extremely satisfied with Bai Qinghao¡¯s decision.
If Bai Jingrou had seeded with her evil schemes, by now, Xinxin would be the one who was paralysed and blind.
They were unable to ept this, no matter what.
¡°Qinghao, ah. I have nothing to worry about now that Xinxin is with you.¡± Long Jingyuan spoke up. ¡°In this period, Long Xuan and I have been in the Yu Ting Vi troubling the both of you. We n on returning to the Long home to live from now on.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Long Yifan, who was also Long Xuan, spoke up. ¡°It¡¯s been too long since I returned to the Long home. I miss home.¡±
¡°We¡¯re a family. You¡¯ll never trouble us.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression softened slightly. ¡°The Yu Ting Vi is Xinxin¡¯s home, as well as your home. As long as both of you wish to be here, you maye over any time.¡±
¡°Good, good.¡± Long Jingyuan pushed Long Yifan¡¯s wheelchair and with the servants¡¯ help, they managed to leave in a car. In fact, they mainly wanted to give the young couple a little more time with each other.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao watched as the two of them left. She took in his stunning good looks from the side and felt her heart being filled with warmth.
Chapter 777 - Jingrous Birth Father
Chapter 777: Jingrou¡¯s Birth Father
Bai Qinghao had dealt with Bai Jingrou swiftly. He was both ruthless and cruel.
If it was anyone else, they certainly would not have been able to do the same to Bai Jingrou, who had belonged to the Bai family.
The Bai family¡¯s elders, for example, would definitely have hesitated.
Thankfully, however, the Bai family elders decided not to interfere in this matter.
Bai Qinghao was truly devoting his entire life to loving her.
Fang Xinxin recalled the unfortunate plight from herst life. At the thought that Bai Jingrou was now suffering the same pain she previously did, Fang Xinxin felt especially great.
Bai Qinghao nced at his wife from the side. The deep love in her gaze could not be concealed and it caused his frozen heart to tremble. He brought her tightly into his arms and spoke hoarsely. ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked. ¡°Why are you apologising for no reason?¡±
¡°Thank god you¡¯re alright.¡± He murmured. ¡°If Bai Jingrou had seeded in her schemes, I can¡¯t imagine how much suffering you would be enduring right now. I can¡¯t imagine how much my heart would be aching.¡±
She stiffened. In her previous life, hadn¡¯t she been exactly that pitiful?
However, she did not repeat the same mistakes from her past life. Once was enough. ¡°I don¡¯t know about anything else, but I know with certainty that no matter what happens to me, even if I be paralysed and blind, you would never throw me away.¡±
In their previous life, he had even sacrificed his life for her useless one.
¡°Silly, I don¡¯t even have enough time to dote on you. How could I possibly throw you away?¡± Bai Qinghao had known from the very moment heid his eyes on her that he was irrevocably in love with her.
She leaned into his broad and firm embrace and felt her heart being filled with warm emotions.
¡
In the Jing Xin Residence behind the old Bai Mansion¡¯s main building, Bai Chenxi supported his mother in the living room and waved all the helpers away.
Huang Zhishu immediately reached for the drawer beneath the coffee table and retrieved a phone card which she had never used. She then dialled a number. ¡°You have to save Jingrou. She is our daughter. Bai Qinghao ns on shooting her to death. He even ns on torturing her first¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± A middle-aged man responded. ¡°Bai Qinghao moves too quickly. I¡¯ve received news that Jingrou has already been blinded. Her legs have also been broken. She barely has half her life left with her. Even if we rescue her now, there¡¯s no meaning to it. It will only increase the risk of us being exposed.¡±
¡°My god¡¡± Huang Zhishu held onto the phone and began to sob. ¡°What do we do, what do we do?¡±
¡°Jingrou insisted on keeping us a secret. She did this precisely to give us the opportunity to avenge her.¡± The man¡¯s voice carried thick hatred. ¡°We will give Jingrou the revenge she deserves!¡±
Huang Zhishu ended the call in tears.
Bai Chenxi stood by his mother¡¯s side. He had overheard the call and understood that Jingrou was truly doomed. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be upset.¡±
¡°How could I not be upset?¡± Huang Zhishu hugged her son in tears. ¡°Jingrou is your sister. She is your birth sister, who shares a father and mother with you!¡±
¡°That is why, as our father says, I¡¯ll get her the revenge she deserves.¡± Bai Chenxi gritted his teeth.
Huang Zhishu wiped her tears. ¡°Your sister was ruined despite her intelligence. Chenxi, you cannot be rash.¡±
¡°Now that Sister¡¯s schemes have been exposed, the Bai family members will definitely watch me closely.¡± Bai Chenxi narrowed his eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t do anything right now. We can only rely on Father¡¯s hidden influence to deal with Bai Qinghao.¡±
¡°In the future, don¡¯t mention your father anymore. If the people behind him learn of our rtionship with him, everything will be over.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Bai Chenxi was actually a rather tight-lipped person. Which intelligent person would dig a hole for themselves to fall in?

Chapter 778: Old Gigolo
In an apartment on the sixth storey of Guo Mao Building, Guan Jiping ended the call with Huang Zhishu. Right after, a middle-aged woman with a powerful charisma walked out of the bathroom. She was dressed in a bathrobe. ¡°Who were you on the phone with?¡±
The woman was born with a squarish jawline, bushy brows and a high nose bridge. Her lips were very thick and there was even a small dent on her face. Her five features, when put together, were especially hideous.
Her skin was tanned from the frequent exposure to the sun. Her body was firm and her gaze was stern. With one nce, it was obvious that she was an escaped convict who was more than capable of murder.
Guan Jiping smiled at her gently. His gaze was filled with love when he looked at her. ¡°I¡¯m a delivery man. Earlier, a customer called to ask why their parcels weren¡¯t delivered yet.¡±
The woman approached Guan Jiping¡¯s side and sat down on hisp coquettishly. ¡°Was it a man or a woman?¡±
He gently caressed her damp hair. ¡°It was a woman. Why? You¡¯re even jealous of a stranger?¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± The woman harrumphed coldly. ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to visit. I¡¯ll kill whoever dares to disturb us!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Guan Jiping replied dotingly. ¡°You¡¯re the only person in my heart. How could I possibly allow a stranger to interfere with our reunion?¡± He watched her lovingly. ¡°Your status is unique. For your sake, I never got married despite my old age. Moreover, I¡¯ve never been with any other woman. I¡¯ve devoted my entire heart to waiting for you.¡±
When the woman heard this, the murderous intent in her gaze dissipated slightly. She looked at him apologetically. ¡°Jiping, I¡¯ve let you down. It¡¯s been so many years, yet I¡¯ve not been able to give you a child.¡±
Once, when she had led her team out on a mission, she suffered a serious injury and lost the ability to conceive.
¡°What¡¯s the need for a child?¡± Guan Jiping smiled as though he did not mind. ¡°All I need is you. As long as you¡¯re alive, and I¡¯m able to be with you every once in a while, I¡¯m content.¡±
She leaned against his arms. ¡°I¡¯m often pursued and chased by my enemies. If I spend too much time with you, it will only put you in danger. Trust me. I truly wish that I can always be with you.¡±
¡°I understand your feelings.¡± He embraced her as though he was deeply moved. Away from her sight however, the disgust and disdain in his gaze was in to see. ¡°It¡¯s more important that you stay alive.¡±
She pressed a card against his palm. ¡°Don¡¯t do this delivery job anymore. It¡¯s too tiring. There¡¯s some money in this card. You can choose a different job.¡±
He refused it like he always did. ¡°I won¡¯t touch a single cent of your money. I only have my sincere love to offer you. If I use your money, I¡¯ll lose myst ability to remain as a man before you.¡±
She was deeply moved as she took the card back and did not force him to ept it. ¡°Alright. It was precisely your sincerity that moved me.¡± She then took in hismon features. ¡°Jiping, you¡¯re not allowed to betray me! Otherwise, I¡¯ll definitely kill you!¡±
He understood her background. She was cruel and ruthless, and would certainly do as she said.
He was deeply fearful internally, but did not reveal it in the slightest.
¡°It¡¯s been more than twenty years.¡± Guan Jiping said with some unhappiness. ¡°I¡¯ve never had any other women but you. Hasn¡¯t my singlehood clearly conveyed my sincerity? What else do you want from me?¡±
¡°I was wrong.¡± She nudged his head close in agitation and kissed him hungrily.
¡°I don¡¯t me you.¡± He returned her kiss for a little while before standing up. He approached the window and took in the sight of the traffic outside.
She saw that he appeared a little despondent from the back and approached to ask in concern. ¡°Jiping, is something on your mind?¡±

¡°Until Bai Qinghao¡¯s death, the hatred in my heart cannot be extinguished!¡± Guan Jiping suddenly spat out.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely kill him!¡± The woman embraced him from the back in heartache. She lifted his left hand to see that his ring finger and pinky were missing.
Guan Jiping turned back to see that her expression was filled with heartache. ¡°With those words of yours, I won¡¯t have to worry any longer.¡±
¡°Bai Qinghao is too much. Even if he is the emperor, I¡¯ll take his life away for daring to cut your fingers off!¡± A hint of murderous intent shed past the woman¡¯s gaze.
Guan Jiping nodded. ¡°Under your protection, I¡¯ve never suffered in any way. I¡¯ve always chosen to stay away from the underworld, but I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qinghao to be this vicious. My only hope is that he dies soon.¡±
The only way for his birth son, Bai Chenxi, to inherit the Bai family¡¯s business was to remove Bai Qinghao.
He was powerless and did not have any influence. Thankfully, he came to meet her through a series of coincidences. Initially, he did not know of her identity.
The two of them met infrequently and she was always very wary of him. She had kept her line of work a secret for more than twenty years.
However, he could tell that she wasn¡¯t a simple figure. Thus, he maintained their ambiguous rtionship.
Two years ago, he finally learned of her background.
He naturally would not give up on the opportunity to make use of her. Thus, for the sake of his birth son, Bai Chenxi¡
He ruthlessly sliced off two of his fingers and imed that Bai Qinghao had done it.
Naturally, her heart ached for him and she dered she would take revenge on his behalf.
¡°Bai Qinghao¡¯s influence is too wide. Even on his own, he makes for a powerful enemy.¡± She frowned. ¡°I arranged for my people to ambush him on two asions. The first was two years ago and the second was just a while back. On both asions, I¡¯ve failed.¡±
¡°In that case, he will definitely be on his guard.¡± He began to worry. ¡°Will you be in any danger? I don¡¯t wish for you to take any risks for me. How about we forget it¡¡±
¡°No.¡± Hatred shed past the woman¡¯s gaze. ¡°Since I¡¯ve promised you that I¡¯ll take his life, I definitely won¡¯t go back on my words. Wait for it. Next time, I¡¯ll look for the most opportune time to kill him!¡±
¡°You¡¯re so good to me.¡± He brought her into his arms as his eyes shed calctively.
He understood her character very well and knew that she would never go back on her words. That was why he spoke in such a way.
He would use her power to remove Bai Qinghao.
Then, when Chenxi inherited the Bai family¡¯s wealth, he would kill her. After that, he would live a happy life with Zhishu and Chenxi. How could he possibly have any feelings for an ugly woman who could not even conceive!
She had a reputation that would leave people across the world trembling. He would not be fooled by how she seemed to have lowered her guard before him.
How could he possibly not have any greed for the wealth she had amassed? He simply disdained the small sums she offered him and chose to refuse them.
It had been over twenty years. Through guesses and asional nces, he had grown familiar with her bank details. When she was truly dead, wouldn¡¯t all her wealth belong to him?
The thought left him especially excited!
¡
The next day, news that Bai Jingrou impersonated the Long Group¡¯s sessor was released. At the same time, her attempts at murder were also exposed.
In an instant, the public¡¯s hatred was focused on Bai Jingrou.
The Long Group held a press conference to rify that Fang Xinxin was Director Long¡¯s actual granddaughter. At the same time, Director Long¡¯s third son, Long Xuan, also appeared at the press conference.
Various parties congratted Director Long Jingyuan for reuniting with his son and granddaughter.
At the press conference, a reportermented in amazement. ¡°Third Long Young Master, it¡¯s truly a miracle that you were able to wake up after five years ofa. It¡¯s a pity that your wife passed away ten years ago.¡±
¡°Are you referring to Fang Liyin?¡± Long Xuan was expressionless. ¡°She harmed my family and deserved to die..¡±
Chapter 780 - She Is Dead
Chapter 780: She Is Dead
¡°I¡¯m not referring to your wife¡¯s sister, Fang Liyin. I¡¯m referring to your wife, Fang Ln¡¡± The reporter was about to continue when Fang Xinxin quickly spoke up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. We will not answer any questions rting to this topic.¡±
Long Xuan, however, grew nervous. ¡°This reporter, what did you say happened to my wife, Ln?¡±
When the reporters heard Fang Xinxin¡¯s words, they immediately understood that the Long family was concealing Fang Ln¡¯s death from Long Xuan. They fell silent and did not respond.
¡°My apologies, everyone.¡± Long Jingyuan rushed to speak up. ¡°Today¡¯s press conference will end right now.¡±
Fang Xinxin quickly pushed Long Xuan¡¯s wheelchair out of the venue.
Long Jingyuan also rushed to follow.
The three of them headed to the thirtieth storey of the Long Group¡¯s building and entered the break room inside the director¡¯s office.
The break room connected to the office was an apartment with a room and a living room.
Long Xuan sat on his wheelchair and stared past the ceiling-to-floor windows to take in the view of the city. ¡°Both of you already knew that Ln is dead, didn¡¯t you?¡±
His tone was certain.
¡°Dad¡¡± Fang Xinxin approached his side. ¡°We didn¡¯t mean to hide this from you. Your body was still recovering and we were afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to take the news.¡±
These words were akin to a confirmation of Fang Ln¡¯s death.
Long Xuan appeared to have aged by ten years in an instant. His eyes began to tear up. ¡°Ln is dead. She is really dead¡¡±
Despair and misery filled his gaze. His whole being appeared to have been swallowed by misery.
¡°Dad.¡± Fang Xinxin knelt down by his feet and leaned against his legs. ¡°Mom really isn¡¯t around anymore. So, you have to live well. I¡¯ve already lost my mother. I can¡¯t lose you, too!¡±
Long Xuan¡¯s gaze turned guilty. ¡°All these years, Dad has never taken good care of you.¡±
He took in his daughter¡¯s heartbroken expression with a loving gaze. Hope seemed to be growing in his withered heart. ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t worry. No matter how heartbroken I am, I don¡¯t wish to leave you.¡±
He spoke with some difficulty. ¡°My daughter, did you know? In fact, over the years of Fang Liyin pretending to be your mother, I had also noticed things amiss here and there. However, I chose to neglect them. At times, I even lied to myself that she was Ln. That was because I had the feeling that your mom was no longer around. Furthermore, Fang Liyin truly knew some things that were meant to be kept between your mother and I. I regret that I didn¡¯t look into this sooner.¡±
¡°What kind of a bastard am I? I actually couldn¡¯t tell that my own wife had been reced.¡± His gaze shifted to his father. ¡°Father, this son of yours has too many ws. Over the past twenty years, I¡¯ve actually visited you many times. I¡¯ve also seen the poster you published in the newspapers to look for me. I immediately headed to the Long home when I saw it. However, you weren¡¯t at home at the time. My second brother, Long Guo, was home and he told me to never return as he feared it would interfere with his session rights. In order to notpete with him, I only dared to look at you from afar.¡±
Long Jingyuan was deeply moved. ¡°Xuan Er, I never knew Guo Dong did such a thing while he was alive. You¡¯re not unfilial. I was the one who raised your second brother poorly.¡±
¡°Ln was a good woman.¡± Long Xuan sighed. ¡°Xinxin told me that you have some misunderstandings about Ln¡¯s character and believed she was after the Long family¡¯s inheritance. In fact, Ln truly did not care about my identity as the Long family¡¯s third son when she was alive. After I left the Long family, her feelings for me did not waver. At the time, she said that it was fine to leave the Long family¡¯s inheritance to my second brother if he wished to have it all. She only mentioned that I needed to remind my brother to take good care of you. After all, both Ln and I were unable to care for you.¡±
Chapter 781 - Li Bingpan
Chapter 781: Li Bingpan
When Long Jingyuan heard this, his expression turned guilty. ¡°If only I knew this earlier. I shouldn¡¯t have stopped you from being with Fang Ln. If I hadn¡¯t, perhaps your family wouldn¡¯t have suffered so much.¡±
Long Xuan shook his head. ¡°Father, you had your own position to consider at the time. I was the one in the wrong. I clearly knew that you preferred to have a daughter-inw who was of equal standing with our family, yet my heart fell for Ln. Everyone has their own fate. No one can predict what will happen in the future.¡±
¡°My son, you¡¯ve really grown up. You¡¯re really mature now.¡± Long Jingyuan did not expect his son to not me him and immediately began to tear up.
¡°Father, I¡¯ve not only grown up. I¡¯ve also grown old.¡± Long Xuan smiled bitterly. He was in his fifties now.
¡°In the eyes of your father, you will always be a child.¡± Long Jingyuan¡¯s gaze was filled with love as he watched his son.
Sometimeter, Fang Xinxin and Long Jingyuan apanied Long Xuan to visit a graveyard in the suburbs.
Long Xuan remained before Fang Ln¡¯s gravestone for an entire afternoon. He was silent, his eyes filled with despair. He appeared as though he had nothing more to live for.
Fang Xinxin and Long Jingyuan remained by his side in worry.
¡°Initially, I thought that once I recovered and learned to walk again, I would go and look for you.¡± Long Xuan murmured.
Fang Xinxin was frightened by his words. ¡°Dad, you promised me that you won¡¯t leave us.¡±
¡°I previously thought your mother was missing, and wanted to go looking for her.¡± He sighed as he touched his wife¡¯s gravestone. ¡°Ln, in this lifetime, I¡¯ve let my father down. I¡¯ve also let you and our children down. I can¡¯te to you immediately, but don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t marry anyone else. I¡¯ll watch our children carefully and love them properly in your stead.¡±
¡°Dad¡¡± Fang Xinxin was deeply moved as she approached Long Xuan.
The three of them only returned to the Long family¡¯s vi when it became dark.
For the past few days, Fang Xinxin had been apanying her father and grandfather in the Long family vi. Even Bai Qinghao was temporarily staying in the Long home with her.
People were taken aback by Fang Xinxin¡¯s status as the Long family¡¯s only granddaughter.
Although the Long Group was second to the Bai family¡¯s power, Fang Xinxin was not only the Long family¡¯s sessor but was also the director of the Jiao Yang Finance Group.
Her marriage to Bai Qinghao was initially believed to have mismatched statuses of the spouses. In an instant, however, their marriage became that of equals and was celebrated by the world.
Several dayster, Fang Xinxin headed to the Guo Mao Building to shop. As her chauffeur, Tong Yu, was ill, Li Bingpan stepped forward and volunteered to drive her.
A BMW SUV then drove out of the Long family¡¯s backyard.
Li Bingpan was focused on driving.
Fang Xinxin wore arge, pink bucket hat that was in trend these days. From the backseat, she nced at Li Bingpan who was working both as a bodyguard and a chauffeur.
Back then, he had been bribed by her second sister, Fang Manxue. This person remained by their side despite not being heavily valued. She had guarded against him for more than two years.
Someone who had been bribed once would most definitely sumb to his desire again. He finally could not endure any longer and was making a move!
The car was just about five hundred metres away from the Long family¡¯s vi when Fang Xinxin suddenly said, ¡°Park the car by the side. Go to the nearby convenience store and purchase a packet of wet wipes for me.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Li Bingpan did not suspect anything. He immediately alighted the car and did as she said.
After he returned from his trip, he tugged open the backseat¡¯s door to hand the wet wipes to her.
Her bucket hat was pulled downwards and he could not see her face clearly.
As he had clearly watched Fang Xinxin board the car earlier, he did not suspect anything.
Li Bingpan returned to his seat and continued driving. He brought out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
As a chauffeur, he was not allowed to smoke while driving. However, this did not stop him. At most, he would toss the cigarette away after she reprimanded him.
Chapter 782 - Mastermind?
Chapter 782: Mastermind?
To his surprise, Fang Xinxin continued using her phone and did not even pause to nce at him.
Through the rearview mirror, Li Bingpan could not gain a clear look of her face. He only saw therge bucket head concealing most of her lowered face.
The wispy smoke slowly filled the vehicle. In the backseat, Fang Xinxin inhaled the smoke and quickly lost consciousness. Her head nted forward and her appearance remained concealed by the bucket hat.
¡°What a smooth mission!¡± Li Bingpan smirked arrogantly. ¡°Now that I¡¯ve captured Fang Xinxin alive, the reward money will be more than enough for me to spend the rest of my life in luxury.¡±
The cigarette he lit earlier contained drugs that would cause one to lose consciousness. It filled the vehicle with the smoke dissipating slowly inside.
Of course, he had taken the antidote beforehand and was not affected by it.
The car was not headed towards the Guo Mao Building. Instead, it drove out of the city centre and into the mountain region in the suburbs. There, a group of people were waiting in ambush.
Someone was nning to use Fang Xinxin to take Bai Qinghao down.
¡
At the same time, in the Yu Ting Vi, an office desk had been arranged next to the pool. Bai Qinghao sat before the desk and watched as a blinking red dot moved across the map on hisptop screen.
Fang Xinxin, who was supposed to be in Li Bingpan¡¯s car, was seated by Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. She spoke up indifferently. ¡°He has driven into the mountains.¡±
They had long been on their guard against this trash. Earlier, when Li Bingpan left for the convenience store, she had hurriedly alighted from the car. A woman who was dressed identically to her had quickly reced her.
Li Bingpan¡¯s car was bugged with a tracker and the red dot on the map indicated the car¡¯s location.
Behind the red dot, ten green dots were rapidly approaching the red dot from every direction. These were Bai Qinghao¡¯s people.
Very quickly, the red and the green dots ovepped.
That indicated that Li Bingpan and his people had discovered that the woman in the car was not Fang Xinxin.
A portion of Bai Qinghao¡¯s people carried pinhole cameras on their clothes.
Through theptop screen, they watched as a gun battle urred between Bai Qinghao and Li Bingpan¡¯s people.
Li Bingpan and his men appeared not to have expected their hostage to be swapped. A woman who had been sent as bait waspletely useless as a threat against Bai Qinghao. Right as they cursed heavily at the discovery, they were surrounded by Bai Qinghao¡¯s men. Caught off guard, they quickly sumbed to serious injuries.
Two hourster, all twenty men on Li Bingpan¡¯s side were killed.
They managed to keep one man half-alive and interrogated him regarding the identity of the mastermind. However, the man insisted that he had received Bai Jingrou¡¯s money, and that waspleting his mission because he valued honour, no matter if Bai Jingrou was already ruined in captivity.
Corpses were scattered across the forest. That included Li Bingpan¡¯s, whose eyes remained open despite his death.
Bai Qinghao watched as the circumstances unfolded. Despite the sight of the corpses, his wife remained unfazed. A hint of astonishment shed past his distant gaze. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡±
She shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll just take it as if I¡¯m watching a movie.¡± Although the earlier scenes were camera footage of the actual situation in the mountains.
He smiled. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that my wife was this brave.¡±
She took the initiative to sit on hisp, wrapping her slender arms around his firm body.
¡°En?¡± He sensed that something was troubling her.
¡°I have the feeling that the mastermind behind all this isn¡¯t Bai Jingrou.¡± Fang Xinxin frowned.
¡°Indeed, it isn¡¯t her. She didn¡¯t have the ability to do so. The people who tried to abduct you in an attempt to threaten me, are from the same organisation as the men who previously tried to ambush me twice.¡± Bai Qinghao watched Fang Xinxin and a hint of worry shed past his eyes. ¡°Wife, they are clearly targeting me. I¡¯ve implicated you in all this.¡±
Chapter 783 - Go To The Enemy’s Nest
Chapter 783: Go To The Enemy¡¯s Nest
¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Fang Xinxin tapped on his lips. ¡°We¡¯re husband and wife. No matter what happens, we will endure the good times and hardships together.¡±
He was deeply moved by her words and embraced her tightly. ¡°In this third attack, the men sent by the enemy are all escaped convicts. They entered the country illegally and do not have any identity documents on them. However, Li Bingpan was first approached by someone from the organisation. I¡¯ve already sent Ya Lun to personally follow that man. I believe we will soon be able to obtain the truth.¡±
¡°En.¡±
¡°When we identify the people, I¡¯ll destroy their entire organisation!¡± Rage shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gaze.
She urged him concernedly. ¡°Hubby, you have to be careful. The mastermind seems to be ying a long game. The first time they attempted to ambush you was two years ago. The second time was a little while ago and the third time was today. We have no way of predicting when they might strike again.¡±
In their previous life, the enemy had still been pursuing Bai Qinghao ten yearster.
At the time, she had both been paralysed and blind. Worse, she had be Bai Qinghao¡¯s hurdle. When they fell from the rooftop of that building, he had used his own body as a cushion and sacrificed his life in order to protect her.
If she hadn¡¯t been his burden at the time, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have died.
At the thought of this, Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart was enveloped by severe pain.
¡°For your sake, I will definitely pay attention to my safety.¡± Bai Qinghao embraced his wife tightly and swore internally that he would prioritize her safety first and ensure she would not face anymore dangers.
¡
Several dayster, Ya Lun, who had been investigating this matter, disappeared.
Thest message they received from Ya Lun detailed how he was pursuing the man who came into contact with Li Bingpan. He had been slowly unravelling the mystery and discovered that this matter was rted to the Blood Fiend Alliance operating outside of the borders.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. He had never interacted with the Blood Fiend Alliance. Why would they make repeated attempts on his life?
However, most of such organisationsprised of assassins, who were willing to sell their lives for money.
Perhaps, someone had offered a price for his life?
In that case, it certainly had to be arge sum of money. Only a few individuals would be able to offer it.
With a target identified, he quickly sent his men to investigate if any of hispetitors had mysteriously lost arge sum of money in the past two years.
Bai Qinghao was not someone who would wait for the enemy to appear.
Ya Lun was his capable subordinate, as well someone who could be considered a¡ friend.
He needed to go rescue him.
Furthermore, he had alreadymanded Hei Xiao¡¯s people to identify the Blood Fiend Alliance¡¯s nest. He nned to personally bring them to ruin after confirming their location.
¡°My wife, are you interested in living in Hei Xiao¡¯s headquarters for a period of time?¡± In the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s yard, Bai Qinghao embraced Fang Xinxin and pressed a kiss against her forehead.
Thest ce Ya Lun visited before he went off the grids was an ind near the Pacific Ocean. It was very likely that the Blood Fiend Alliance¡¯s old nest was located right there.
The Blood Fiend Alliance was not an ordinary group. He needed to personally deal with them.
However, before leaving, he needed to arrange a suitable ce for Fang Xinxin.
Hei Xiao¡¯s headquarters was well-hidden and it was upied by many of the best assassins in the world. If she stayed there, she would most definitely be well-protected.
She lifted her chin to look at him. ¡°You¡¯re finally admitting that you¡¯re Hei Xiao¡¯s mastermind?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you already guess it?¡± He lifted his palms and carrassed her soft hair dotingly. ¡°The mastermind of an organisation of assassins will only be even more cruel.¡±
His sharp gaze watched her closely. ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡±
She shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t even have enough time to love you. How could I possibly be afraid?¡±
His frozen heart was deeply shaken by her words. ¡°My wife, I love you too.¡±
I love you far more than I value my own life.
He added these words silently.
Chapter 784 - Stealthy Escape
Chapter 784: Stealthy Escape
She pressed a kiss against his lips lovingly. ¡°Hubby, where are you headed to?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll head to Panama first, before heading to Mo Jia La Ind near the Pacific Ocean. That is where Ya Lun wasst seen.¡± He did not conceal Ya Lun¡¯s disappearance from her.
¡°En.¡± She nodded obediently. ¡°But, I wish to go with you.¡±
She had discovered that events were not unfolding as they did in her previous life. There was a possibility that the both of them would not live till the day they fell from the building in the previous life.
Thus, she was especially worried.
¡°No.¡± He refused her with a heavy expression.
She lifted her chin and spoke unhappily. ¡°Are you worried that I¡¯ll be a burden to you?¡±
In their previous life, she had only begun to lose weight and heal her face after marrying him. It was unlike this life, where she had already be thin and beautiful before their marriage.
Back then, for the sake of quickly losing weight, she had hired professionals to teach her wrestling, judo and Chinese boxing.
She had even learned how to shoot.
As she was Madam Bai, she was able to rely on Bai Qinghao¡¯s face to hire the best of the best.
She was innately talented and had trained very well. It was unfortunate that the same could not be said about her intelligence and she fell for countless schemes.
In this life, she also frequently practiced the skills she had previously learned, in secret.
With the assistance of her special abilities, her capabilities were further enhanced. She did all of this for the sake of ensuring that she would not be a burden to him again.
By now, her gun skills were already perfect. Herbat skills were also much better than what they had been in her previous life.
The problem was that they rarely met with any trouble. She was also toozy to dere to the world that she was good at fighting.
Bai Qinghao also never inquired about it. Perhaps letting the Blood Fiend Alliance assume that she was helpless may give her an advantage some day.
¡°Silly, how could you say something like that?¡± He pped her elbow slightly with a frown.
His tone however, was filled with heartache. ¡°Remember, you¡¯re never a burden to me. Even if the dayes where you do end up being a burden, I would be more than willing to have you by my side.¡±
¡°Uu¡ Hubby.¡± She pressed her little face against his chest. ¡°Won¡¯t you take me with you?¡±
¡°No.¡± He was not someone who would change his mind easily.
Fang Xinxin also did not wish to argue with him.
Hei Xiao¡¯s headquarters was located in an underground abandoned city in the desert outside the border.
The headquarters itself appeared to be a city on its own. The entrance was made of enormous and heavy steel gates. It was likely that even a bomb wouldn¡¯t be able to break this thing. It had its own high-technologyboratory, a warehouse filled with heavy-duty weapons, a storeroom for food reserves, individual apartment spaces, a conference room¡
Fang Xinxin had never visited this ce in her previous life. She was truly taken aback by the sight of it and was left in awe.
If she stayed here, she would be absolutely safe. Even ghosts wouldn¡¯t be able to locate her.
Under Bai Qinghao¡¯smand, all the assassins who were not engaged in missions swore to ensure her safety with their lives and to absolutely obey hermand.
In one of the apartments in the base, Bai Qinghao embraced her thoroughly before he forced himself to leave.
He also informed her that he would return soon.
As she took in his back view, she instinctively felt that something was bound to go wrong.
However, she did not have any memories rting to the events that would soon ur.
Furthermore, it seemed like the current trajectory of events would not resemble the one that urred in their previous lifetime¡
¡
In Panama.
Bai Qinghao stepped out of a stunningly elegant vi and headed to the yard to board the backseat of a helicopter.
This was one of the properties he owned outside the country.
The helicopter ascended into the azure sky and left the bustling city. It headed beyond the horizon across the ocean.
The helicopter¡¯s trajectory was clearly disyed on the screen from the pilot¡¯s seat.
Bai Qinghao moved an eye at the bodyguard in the co-pilot seat and sensed something to be amiss. He suddenly brought his gun out and pressed it against the back of the person¡¯s head.
¡°Don¡¯t fire! It¡¯s me!¡± Fang Xinxin was dressed in a man¡¯s suit and a baseball cap. She hurriedly raised both her hands.
Chapter 785 - Explosion
Chapter 785: Explosion
When Bai Qinghao heard her familiar voice, a hint of emotion shed past his cold gaze. ¡°My wife!¡±
Fang Xinxin unfastened her seat belt and turned around to crawl into his seat. She jumped into his arms. ¡°Hubby!¡±
Bai Qinghao embraced her tightly. He finally then realised how much he missed her after being away from her for days. ¡°Why did youe here?¡±
¡°I missed you.¡± She sat down by his side and leaned into his embrace.
In fact, what he wanted to ask was that it wasn¡¯t possible for her to leave the Hei Xiao Headquarters. How did she end up here?
However, the stunning woman in his arms was undoubtedly Fang Xinxin, his wife.
His cold gaze shifted towards the pilot. Perhaps his wife has secrets which she did not wish for outsiders to know. Hence he did not ask about it any further.
They looked out of the windows. The helicopter was soaring across the azure blue sky. The weather was good and the sunshine blended across the clouds to make for a stunning sight. The scenery was especially breathtaking.
All of a sudden, the pilot took the opportunity while the two of them were taking in the view to retrieve a handgun. He then aimed it directly at Bai Qinghao¡¯s chest and fired.
Bai Qinghao responded quickly. He brought Fang Xinxin with him and leaned to the side at a lightning speed. Although the bullet avoided his heart, he still suffered a gunshot to his chest.
The pilot immediately tried to fire a second shot. But Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold. She activated her special powers and caused his grip against the gun to go ck. The bullet missed them and pierced through the helicopter¡¯s window.
At the same time, Bai Qinghao brought his gun out and fired a fatal shot to his head.
Fang Xinxin saw that Bai Qinghao was bleeding heavily from his chest. She hurriedly reached for the first aid kit from the back to tend to his wound.
As the pilot was dead, the helicopter quickly began to drift from its intended trajectory. It also grew unstable.
¡°Bai Qinghao, do you know how to fly a helicopter?¡± Fang Xinxin was pale as she questioned him.
¡°I¡¯ve never piloted a helicopter, but I¡¯ve attended a few lectures. I understand how it works.¡± Bai Qinghao endured the pain from his wound as he leaned forward to the pilot¡¯s seat to ce the helicopter into an auto-pilot mode.
All of a sudden, they heard beeping noises from the pilot¡¯s seat. A countdown was disyed on the screen¡ 10, 9, 8, 7, 6¡
His expression changed. ¡°There¡¯s a bomb on the helicopter, it¡¯s going to explode! There are life jackets under the seats! We need to jump into the ocean!¡±
He immediately opened the safety door at the back of the helicopter.
The moment the door was opened, the wind rushed into the cabin and the entire helicopter became unstable.
Fang Xinxin looped the straps of the first aid kit against herself. She then reached for the life jacket under the seat and grabbed Bai Qinghao¡¯s hand to fall out of the helicopter.
The two of them fell rapidly towards the ocean. The helicopter swayed forward and exploded with a loud boom two secondster!
Although they had cut it too close, due to the speed at which they were falling and the distance to which the helicopter had shifted in that much time, they managed to stay a good distance away from the helicopter.
The two of them keenly felt the scalding heat from the explosion. The jarring sensation left them dizzy, but it did not injure them.
If they were even two secondster, they would have died in that helicopter!
As they fell towards the ocean, Fang Xinxin held tightly onto the life jacket with one hand. She gripped Bai Qinghao¡¯s palm tightly with her other hand.
The boundless ocean was beneath them. Without a life jacket, no matter how good they were at swimming, they were bound to die.
Moreover, Bai Qinghao had suffered a serious injury. If theynded separately, given how broad the ocean was, it was likely they would never be able to find each other again.
Thus, she absolutely refused to separate from Bai Qinghao.
They were falling into the ocean from mid-air. Although the water was beneath them, when theynded, the impact was bound to be sufficient to kill them.
Chapter 786 - History Repeating Itself?
Chapter 786: History Repeating Itself?
Bai Qinghao took the initiative to embrace Fang Xinxin midway and adjusted their positions so that he was beneath her. He nned to cushion her fall with his own body.
¡°My wife, you have to live on well!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold and heavy voice was hoarse. He tried his best to imprint her image in his mind. There were too many emotions conveyed through his gaze. He could not bear to leave her.
He dearly wished to spend a lifetime with her. However¡
The circumstances would not allow for it.
Fang Xinxin realised his intentions. As she heard his familiar words, the memories from her previous life began to rey in her head.
In their previous lifetime, as they had fallen from the rooftop of a skyscraper, he had cushioned her fall with his body, leaving the same words behind.
At the time, she had been both blind and paralysed.
And he had used his life to protect her.
In this life, she had grown beautiful. Still, at the most critical moment, he was using his life to protect her.
It turned out that no matter how she appeared, he was willing to devote his entire life to loving her!
Fang Xinxin understood that they were falling from too great of a height. The impact upon collision would be just as strong as when they had fallen from the rooftop.
She absolutely would not allow Bai Qinghao to sacrifice his life for her once more. She attempted to shift their bodies and to protect him instead.
However, he held her tightly and prevented her from moving.
She could only watch as they fell closer towards the surface of the water.
Fang Xinxin took a deep breath in and held it so that she would not choke on the sea water.
At the same time, she concentrated on the surface of the water and activated her power. She wanted to help both their bodies remain afloat the moment theynded in the water.
Unfortunately, the force upon impact was still too great.
Their bodies smashed against the ocean heavily and began to sink downwards.
After sinking nearly thirty metres beneath the surface, their bodies finally began to float.
Right after falling into the ocean, Bai Qinghao immediately released Fang Xinxin from his embrace. The painful collision caused him to suffer serious injuries.
Thankfully, he had protected her and she was most likely unharmed.
Even as he faced death, he did not wish to let go of her.
This was because he knew the moment he released her, he would no longer be able to see her again. He would have to head towards death all by himself.
However, he was seriously injured and they only had one life jacket.
He wanted to give the remaining hope of survival to her.
He had no choice. For the first andst time, he let go of her hands.
He originally thought that he would sink towards the depths of the ocean alone. To his shock, Fang Xinxin maintained her tight grip on his palm. She began to busy herself with his other hand.
She was actually helping him into the only life jacket they had!
He understood what she was doing and his dazed gaze quickly regained focus. He red at her underwater and shot her the sharpest look he could muster.
Fang Xinxin noticed his expression. Despite the fact that they could not speak, she clearly recognised his anger and understood that he was trying to stop her.
He wanted to ce the life jacket back on her. Unfortunately, he had suffered serious injuries when he fell and was in immense pain. He could not move his body due to the extreme difort.
He was deeply flustered. Thankfully, right after she ced the life jacket on him, she embraced him tightly and began to swim upwards.
Right as they were about to suffocate and choke on the water, they finally broke the surface.
Fang Xinxin coughed out all the water which she had swallowed and began to breathe in the fresh air hungrily.
Bai Qinghao was not as lucky. After suffering serious injuries, despite the fact that he was afloat, his head was nted and he was barely conscious.
Chapter 787 - Sea Peril
Chapter 787: Sea Peril

In their previous lifetime, Fang Xinxin had been unable to swim. Thankfully, she had learned to do so in this life.
She had learned everything she previously could not do in case of emergencies.
She had naturally also learned CPR.
However, they were not onnd. He was afloat with the only life jacket and she had to hold onto him to keep herself from sinking.
She scanned the surroundings. No matter where she looked, the ocean remained boundless. She had no idea where the nearestnd was.
She wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself from sinking. She then supported Bai Qinghao¡¯s head with one hand while she pressed her other hand against his abdomen. She activated her special powers to apply force against his abdomen repeatedly. Soon, he began to cough out the seawater he had swallowed.
He coughed loudly before finally regaining consciousness.
¡°My wife¡¡± Hisplexion was pale as he opened his eyes. He did not expect to see her again. His heavy gaze was filled with astonishment.
¡°Bai Qinghao¡¡± The moment he regained consciousness, she felt the urge to cry. ¡°You have to hold on.¡±
He lowered his head to see that the life jacket was still on him. She was holding onto him to remain afloat.
Blood was spreading from his wound into the water.
A small group of fish was already drawn towards them due to the fresh blood.
A hint of panic shed past his gaze. He tugged against his life jacket in an attempt to give it to her. ¡°You¡ put on the life jacket and move away from me¡ otherwise, if the blood attracts the sharks, we¡¯ll be doomed¡¡±
¡°You want me to put on the life jacket and watch as you sink into the ocean, until even your corpse is missing?¡± She asked him.
¡°¡¡± He was silent for a second before he responded with a pale expression. ¡°My injuries are too serious¡ I won¡¯t be able to stay alive for much longer.¡±
¡°Do you have anything more to say?¡± She had a first aid kit slung against her body. However, it was hung against her back. She tried her best to tug against the strap and bring it forward.
¡°I¡¯ve already written my will¡ If I die, all mypanies, movable properties, immovable properties and stocks¡ all of my wealth will be inherited by you.¡± He began to say hisst words.
She was deeply moved and in tears. ¡°And then? You want me to take your money and go sleep with other men, is that it?
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to!¡± His expression turned demanding for a second despite his paleplexion. ¡°You¡¯re mine! If anyone dares to touch you, I won¡¯t let them go even if I be a ghost!¡±
¡°Why do you care so much if you¡¯re going to die anyway?¡± She finally brought the first aid kit before her chest.
¡°I¡¡± He took in her stunning features. His gaze was filled with love for her. He simply did not wish to be a burden to her.
Fang Xinxin naturally understood his thoughts. She held onto him as she treaded the waters before carefully holding his head with her hands.
Her shining, bright gaze was serious as she watched him. ¡°Bai Qinghao, listen to me. I¡¯m not joking with you. I¡¯m not interested in your money nor do I want to be with any other men. If you end up dying, I will definitely die with you.¡±
Her words left his aching, numb heart deeply moved. It was as though he could no longer feel the pain from his injuries.
¡°If I nned on tossing you aside, I would already have done so before we broke through the surface.¡± She kissed his pale lips. ¡°Right now, you¡¯re going to cooperate with me. We¡¯re going to save ourselves. You¡¯re not allowed to think that you¡¯re a burden to me!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gaze turned misty. He was extremely emotional at the moment..

Her stunning features were especially serious. Her gaze conveyed her strong resolve and her deep love for him.
He understood that she truly could not lose him!
She was not joking.
If he died, she would seriously give up on living.
His heart was deeply moved and nodded subconsciously.
However, his body was really enveloped in pain. He could barely move them through the pain and numbness.
His gunshot wound was also bleeding relentlessly. His life was quickly seeping out of him.
The first aid kit was top grade stic and could float against the water. Fang Xinxin was about to open it when her goosebumps rose with the sensation of imminent danger.
She scanned the quiet, boundless sea but did not discover anything.
Bai Qinghao also had keen senses. He simrly felt the impending threat. He said heavily, ¡°Something¡¯sing!¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin responded.
She was dressed in a bodyguard¡¯s suit. As the outfit was tailored, it fit her well.
Still, her jacket was a burden to her right now.
She brought out a handkerchief out from her pocket and quickly rolled it up into a ball. She quickly opened Bai Qinghao¡¯s suit jacket and dress shirt to press it against his gunshot wound. Fastening his clothes back, she tugged his palm over, urging him to press on his wound. ¡°Press against it first, even if it¡¯s to slow the bleeding by a little. I¡¯ll dive in the water and check the situation out.¡±
He followed her instructions and pressed the handkerchief against his wound.
The bleeding finally slowed down.
Fang Xinxin took a deep breath and dived underwater. She swam a circle around him.
Her vision was much better than most people. Underneath the water, she could see countless small fishes attracted by the blood seeping into the water.
They were not frightening.
What was frightening was that an enormous shadow was pressing close.
Beneath the water, within the ocean, it was a distance away from them and she could not see it clearly.
However, based on its shape, it was likely to be a great white shark!
Her expression quickly changed. Truly, the very thing you were afraid of would alwayse!
She swam upwards and broke the surface but failed to find Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure.
The waves swept past over and over.
She frantically nced around before finally discovering Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure. He had already been swept around forty metres away.
¡°My wife¡¡± Bai Qinghao spoke weakly.
He was seriously injured and could barely move.
He was wearing a life jacket. All his energy was consumed just by pressing against his wound and maintaining his head above water.
For the first time, his gaze was filled with fear. He was not afraid of death. However, he was worried that she would quickly drown in the ocean without a life jacket.
Earlier, they shouldn¡¯t have separated.
Even if they were doomed to die, they should have held onto one another.
The prickling sense that danger was approaching grew stronger.
Bai Qinghao discovered that an enormous great white shark was swimming towards them.
Fifty metres, forty metres, thirty metres¡
It was pressing closer¡
Bai Qinghao quickly unfastened his life jacket and tossed it aside. Perhaps, Xinxin could reach the life jacket and have a greater chance at survival.
To think that the all-powerful, noble and respected Bai Qinghao would one day be a shark¡¯s meal.
If he wasn¡¯t paralysed from his wounds, he would definitelybat the creature with his bare hands.
With his well-trained skills, perhaps, even a shark like this would lose to him.
It was a pity that he was only a shadow of his powerful self right now.
The man-eating shark was right before him. Just as it was several metres away, it opened it¡¯s enormous mouth to swallow Bai Qinghao whole.
All of a sudden, a dagger flew into the shark¡¯s mouth. It pierced through it¡¯s throat and cut clean through its back..

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
At the same time, Fang Xinxin appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Bai Qinghao to embrace him. Right before the shark could swallow them, she allowed the waves to sweep them away from it.
Fang Xinxin had picked up the life jacket that Bai Qinghao tossed away and was currently wearing it.
The shark was in immense pain from it¡¯s wounds. It shifted its body in anger. The sweep of its tail alone was akin to a blow received from over a thousand kilograms of weight.
At the same time, it tossed Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin further away from it.
Thankfully, the shark did not hit them. Otherwise, with its power, they were bound to be minced meat.
The ocean was deep and boundless. Fang Xinxin held onto Bai Qinghao tightly, fearing that they would be separated.
The shark located them urately and swam rapidly towards them once more.
Fang Xinxin hurriedly removed her suit jacket and raised it up in the direction of the shark¡¯s mouth.
If anyone else had been floating in the ocean whilst holding onto someone, they definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to put much force into their throw.
Fang Xinxin, however, was different. She activated her special powers and the jacket immediately wrapped around the shark¡¯s top lip.
She then quickly took Bai Qinghao¡¯s jacket away and tossed it over. It wrapped firmly around the shark¡¯s bottom lip.
With it¡¯s mouth firmly held shut, the shark made for a much more pleasant sight.
It began to writhe around in the water in difort, in an attempt to shake the clothing off.
However, Fang Xinxin had relied on her powers to ensure they would cling against its skin. It did not fall off despite its desperate attempts.
She truly wished that she could fire a few shots against the shark. Unfortunately, the guns had been soaking in the water and could no longer be used.
Fang Xinxin was worried they would be injured by the shark¡¯s movements. She held onto Bai Qinghao tightly and swam backwards.
The shark had already suffered a serious injury. All they had to do was to hold on for a little longer and they would be able to escape from this situation alive.
To their surprise, the shark appeared to have located its target again. It suddenly swung it¡¯s enormous tail towards them.
They were nearly hit.
Bai Qinghao had choked on a few mouthfuls of water. He spoke up with some difficulty. ¡°There¡¯s a folding knife in my pocket¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s great!¡± The folding knife she usually kept on her had sunk into the ocean after it pierced through the shark¡¯s back. She had found its loss a great pity.
She searched his pockets for the knife and unfolded it to three times its original length.
Her gaze turned cold. The knife went flying once more into the shark¡¯s lips, cutting through its organs.
It was a pity that the fish¡¯s body was too strong. The knife remained stuck in it¡¯s stomach and did not pierce through cleanly.
The shark was in immense pain. It writhed heavily in the ocean, sending the water sttering all around itself.
Several minutester, its movements finally ceased. Its enormous body remained half-afloat in the water.
Bai Qinghao took in Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning, paleplexion and was astonished. He struggled to believe that she had sessfully killed an enormous shark whilst protecting him and keeping them afloat.
He had seen the way the two knives had cut the shark earlier. Her strength was way beyond what a normal human could achieve!
Fang Xinxin did not wish to spend time exining things to him for now. She tugged at Bai Qinghao¡¯s arm and quickly swam towards the shark¡¯s carcass. ¡°I¡¯m not sure when we will findnd. We need to obtain some food.¡±
If they ended up afloat for several days, they would starve to death.
Besides, he had suffered a serious injury and needed some food.
It was difficult for her to swim while dragging someone along with her in the ocean..

Thankfully, the strong wind was moving in her direction. The enormous waves quickly pushed the shark¡¯s body closer to them.
¡°Bai Qinghao, do you still have any strength?¡± She lowered her head to take in his paleplexion.
He shook his head. His four limbs had grown numb and he could not move his arms or legs.
She kept one arm around his waist and supported his head to remain afloat. She then opened the first aid kit with her other hand.
The first-aid kit was made with top-grade stic and it remained afloat in the ocean.
She had wrapped the strap around herself so the first-aid kit remained on her despite all the difficulties they faced.
There were many medicines useful for emergencies, for injuries, fever, bleeding¡
There was also a surgical knife. She brought out the surgical knife and made an approximate guess of the surgical box¡¯s size. She then quickly cut around two kilograms worth of meat from the shark¡¯s body.
She carelessly washed the meat with the seawater to take away the blood. She then shook it dry as much as she could before storing it in the first aid box.
The fish meat took up all the remaining space in the box as she shut it close.
The shark¡¯s body was truly too big. It bled relentlessly and the seawater around them was quickly dyed red.
They needed to move away from the corpse immediately. Otherwise, it would only attract more dangerous predators.
She had spent all her energy dealing with this shark and did not have the strength to deal with anything else anymore.
Thus, with the life jacket on her, she held onto Bai Qinghao tightly and quickly began swimming away from the shark¡¯s body.
When they were about a hundred metres away, she saw from afar that several sharks had broken the surface and were eating the carcass¡
In an instant, the fright left her covered in cold sweat.
Bai Qinghao noticed this too. He narrowed his sharp gaze slightly.
She brought Bai Qinghao to swim further away, until they could no longer locate the shark¡¯s body.
Thankfully, no other sharks had pursued them.
Bai Qinghao had already grown unconscious. He rested his head against Fang Xinxin¡¯s shoulder and murmured subconsciously. ¡°Watch,pass¡¡±
Fang Xinxin was dressed in the life jacket as she held onto Bai Qinghao. The ocean appeared boundless and they were drifting along with the waves.
Although they would not drown anytime soon, they did not have any directions to pursue.
No matter where she looked, the deep blue ocean appeared boundless. They were but a small speck on this enormous body of water and it seemed like they would lose their lives here anytime.
She was stumped as to where they were supposed to head when she heard Bai Qinghao¡¯s words. She lifted his left arm and saw the expensive watch on his wrist. On the centre of the watch, there was a short needle with a diamond on its end. It appeared to be a decoration but it was actually pointing in the north direction.
She immediately understood that his watch also functioned as apass.
However, his gunshot wound had already been soaking in the sea water for too long.
She wasn¡¯t sure how long it would take them to findnd. If things persisted as they were, he would die of a wound infection.
She needed to remove the bullet from his chest!
Fang Xinxin patted Bai Qinghao¡¯s face and watched as he regained a hint of consciousness. She gritted her teeth to say. ¡°Bai Qinghao, I¡¯ll do a surgery on you.¡±
¡°In the ocean?¡± A hint of astonishment shed past his eyes.
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
¡°Alright.¡± There wasn¡¯t the slightest hint of objection on his pale face.
Truthfully, he understood that the moment she removed the bullet from his wound, he would suffer immense blood loss. As they were both soaking in the water, he would then quickly lose his life.
It was good to die like this.
At the very least, he wouldn¡¯t be a burden to her any longer..

Chapter 791: Operation

Fang Xinxin noticed his thoughts and spoke up in determination. ¡°I won¡¯t let you die. I¡¯ve said it before. If you die, I¡¯ll apany you in death!¡±
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved by her resolve. His gaze began to turn misty.
However, carrying an operation out in the ocean was bound to lead to death.
Still, no matter what it was she hoped to do, even if it was to mess with his own life, he would support it.
At this moment, he was already too weak to respond.
Fang Xinxin understood that his life was in critical danger. However, she was choosing not to think about it. This was because the more she thought about it, the more she felt she would break down mentally.
She held onto his waist with one hand and opened the floating first aid kit with her other hand.
She first brought out therge piece of shark meat, cing it on the lid.
The first aid kit was well stocked. It even contained a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and a packet of gauze.
She washed the surgical knife in the ocean before cing it on one side of the first aid box. She then used one hand to open the bottle of rubbing alcohol, pouring a little on the knife to wash it clean.
She had used this knife to cut the fish meat earlier and needed to disinfect it well.
She then wiped it repeatedly with gauze soaked in alcohol.
Next, she opened the bottle of medication that would stop his bleeding in preparation.
¡°I wanted to operate on you from the start.¡± Whilst preparing the tools, she spoke to him. ¡°But the waves were too strong. With the way they came one after another, there¡¯s no need to mention surgery. I¡¯m sure the moment I opened the first aid kit, everything in it would have been swept away. I could only wait till the waves calm down, like now.¡±
¡°En.¡± He barely responded in a soft voice.
¡°This first aid kit is a treasure to us. I grabbed it right before jumping off the ne, all for the sake of taking care of your wound.¡± She tried to sound as rxed as possible.
He knew of this. Unfortunately, he was weak to the point where he could not respond back.
¡°I¡¯m sure you must have noticed when I was killing the shark, that both of the knives were thrown with more force than a normal person can muster. You must have seen how the two suit jackets clung onto the shark as well.¡± She told him with a smile, ¡°I have special powers.¡±
Despite her smile, her gaze was only filled with concern for him.
A hint of shock shed past his sharp gaze. However, it quickly changed into understanding.
All her preparations were finallyplete. Fang Xinxin removed Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt andid it on her shoulder. She then tugged against Bai Qinghao, helping him toy afloat on the water.
She then closed her eyes to concentrate. The next time she opened her eyes, her gaze was cold and focused on Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao was shocked to realise that his body was slowly floating above the water. It then stilled ten centimetres above the surface.
He remained afloat just like that.
My god, her abilities were too amazing! What sort of treasure was she?
He always believed his wife to be a flower, one that could only rely on him for protection.
It turns out that she was extremely strong and capable, and that she could protect him too.
He had a dominating and cold personality, and did not need a woman¡¯s protection. However, the other party was her. She was using her life to protect him and this left him deeply moved.
Fang Xinxin was worried that she would be distracted. Hence, she did not speak up again.
She wiped the skin around his injury with a gauze soaked in rubbing alcohol.
The injury had turned pale from the exposure to the sea water. She held onto his body and scanned the injury.
Thankfully, the bullet did not pierce his organ.
She opened up the injury and saw that the bullet was lodged inside his flesh.
She did not have a pair of tweezers to remove it. After confirming the location and depth of the bullet, her gaze turned cold as she activated her powers. The bullet quickly flew out of his body andnded into the water.
At the same time, she brought out the medicine she had prepared earlier. She poured it against his wound and the bleeding stopped quickly..

Truly, Bai Qinghao was too wealthy. All the medicines prepared for him were the best quality avable in the market.
She scanned the infected flesh around his injury and deliberated over it before deciding to cut it all away to prevent the infection from spreading. She then sprayed the wound with anotheryer of medication to stop it from bleeding.
Finally, she applied ayer of medication suited for knife and gun wounds.
Bai Qinghao had previously mentioned to her that this medicine was especially effective.
She quickly brought out arge roll of waterproof bandage from the first aid kit and carefully wrapped it around his injury.
Fang Xinxin made sure to tighten the bandages and only rxed after ensuring that water would not seep into his wounds.
The entire process took around ten minutes. All this while, Bai Qinghao endured the immense pain in silence with furrowed brows.
The surgery was carried out without any anesthesia and it was difficult to imagine the pain he was swallowing. Fang Xinxin truly had to admire his endurance.
Earlier, Bai Qinghao had already suffered serious blood loss. The process of the surgery further worsened his condition. He had at least lost another hundred grams of blood.
Thankfully, the operation waspleted.
She had expanded a lot of energy into activating her special powers and could no longer hold on.
As she lost hold of her focus, Bai Qinghao¡¯s body swayed from where it floated above the surface of the water and sshed right back into the ocean.
Bai Qinghao was still somewhat conscious. As he took in her paleplexion, his gaze was filled with heartache.
He had thought he was doomed to die, but did not expect her to levitate him and sessfully perform a surgery on him.
His life was temporarily secured. However, she had expanded too much energy and willpower in the process.
The first aid kit was still a useful tool. Fang Xinxin hurriedly packed the medicine away and sliced a few pieces of the shark meat. She ate it to replenish her strength.
She treated it as though she was eating sashimi. It was a pity they did not have any condiments to help with the taste.
It was especially fishy and disgusting!
However, they had no choice. She was too hungry. For the sake of her survival, she forced herself to swallow it.
She then sliced a few more pieces, bringing it to Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips.
¡°Hubby, you have to eat something!¡± Fang Xinxin took in his paleplexion and spoke in heartache.
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he endured the disgust and swallowed the shark meat which she fed him.
She put the surgical knife and the remaining shark meat back into the first aid kit, shutting the box tightly.
Bai Qinghao was especially heavy and it was tiring to keep him afloat.
Fang Xinxin took her life jacket off and ced it back on him.
¡°You¡ keep it on¡¡± He spoke weakly with a gasping breath. It appeared as though he had only moved his lips.
¡°You should wear it. I can save more energy if I hold onto you.¡± She insisted.
After the life jacket was returned to Bai Qinghao, his eyes fell shut.
Fang Xinxin hurriedly checked his breath. Thankfully, he was still breathing and had only lost consciousness. She finally rxed a little.
She had expanded too much energy and was about to copse.
Fang Xinxin needed rest.
However, she also had to support his body and ensure that his head remained afloat despite his unconscious state.
She nced at the floating first aid kit and shifted it beneath his cheek, so that his head rested on it.
The life jacket kept him afloat well.
His head was also well-supported.
She then took off the strap of the first aid kit and looped it around his figure, in case the box slid away from him.
After taking care of him, she now needed to take care of herself.
She had the shirt she had taken off him. The material was heavy when soaked and it would only inhibit their movements. Still, she had held onto it in case of emergencies.

She unbuttoned the shirt and tugged it open by its sleeves. She saw that it was rather long and wrapped it around their bodies tightly.
Now that they were tied together, the waves would not separate them.
She changed their positions with some difficulties, wrapping her arms around him and leaning her head against his shoulder in an attempt to rest.
She was truly exhausted.
Her stamina was fully expended and she could not keep her eyes open any further.
However, she could not afford to sleep!
Bai Qinghao was already unconscious. Although he was leaning against the first-aid kit and it was unlikely for him to slide into the water, there was a possibility that he would move in his sleep.
If she fell asleep and failed to notice this, the first aid kit would move above his head and cause him to drown.
She herself also faced the risk of drowning in her sleep.
Thus, she pinched her thigh harshly and relied on the pain to keep herself awake.
Right now, she could not pause to consider where the waves were nudging them towards.
She simply did not have the strength to guide them in any direction.
She wasn¡¯t sure how long they had drifted through the ocean. As she had expected, with the movement of the waves, Bai Qinghao¡¯s head quickly slid off of the first aid kit and the box began to press his head beneath the water.
If she had not noticed this in time, he would most certainly have drowned to death!
Fang Xinxin lifted her hands with some difficulty and re-arranged his head back to its original position.
She made sure to rely mostly on his life jacket to remain afloat.
She would not do anything more to waste the little stamina she had left.
All she needed to do was to ensure that their heads remained above water.
She employed a lot of willpower to keep herself awake.
Before she knew it, the sun had set. The entire ocean was surrounded by an isting darkness.
The surface of the water was pitch-ck and she could only rely on the moonlight to see a little of her reflection against it.
The ocean was at times peaceful and quiet, and at times enraged and powerful.
An entire day had passed. She was certain it was almost 3:00 in the morning right now. They had yet to have a single sip of water.
She was really thirsty.
She felt as though smoke was emitting from her throat.
She noticed that Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips were cracked and dry. It was clear that he was also thirsty.
She really wished she could drink the sea water.
However, her rationality reminded her that she could not afford to do so. Otherwise, the salty sea water would only expand more of the water she had in her body to process it. Her body would be dehydrated faster.
Still, she could not make water appear out of thin air.
She nced towards the pitch-ck night sky.
She wanted to ask God when exactly he nned on making the sky rain.
This way, they would at least have some water to drink.
She took in the bright, sparkling stars and guessed that it was unlikely for any rain to ur tonight.
Or perhaps, she hoped they would be lucky ande into contact with a floating bottle of water.
The helicopter that had exploded earlier had been well-stocked with mineral water.
She sighed. It was most likely those bottles had been sted into pieces and were nowhere to be found.
Fang Xinxin took in Bai Qinghao¡¯s pale lips with heartache.
He was seriously injured and was currently a patient. He needed water more than anyone.
At this rate, he would die of thirst.
She needed toe up with a way to produce water.
She also discovered something bad.
He was having a fever!
She leaned back to touch his forehead. It was scalding!
He had to be burning up to forty degrees celsius.
At this rate, the fever would hurt his brain. It could even cause lingering conditions. She needed to ease his fever somehow..

Chapter 794: Drinking Blood

Thankfully, there was medication for fever in the first aid box.
She held his head up with one hand and opened the first aid kit with her other hand. She then retrieved two small pills from the bottle of fever reducing medicine.
After closing the lid, she tilted his head back to lean against the box and stuffed the medicine into his mouth.
Without any water, he wouldn¡¯t be able to swallow the pills.
Fang Xinxin was stumped.
His mouth was extremely dry right now. She only wished that she had some saliva to help him take the medicine.
Although the idea was disgusting, for the sake of survival, everything was fair game.
She pursed her lips and found that she was thirsty to the point where she could not offer him any saliva.
But, she had to make him swallow the pills!
Fang Xinxin was helpless. She supported his head with one head and opened the first aid kit with her other hand once more. She brought the surgical knife out.
Strengthening her resolve, she made a cut against the back of her hand while carefully avoiding her veins.
She then tossed the knife back into the box and hurriedly brought her hand towards his lips, feeding him her blood.
He was far too thirsty. In his unconscious state, he swallowed the liquid instinctively.
Following which, he swallowed the pills in his mouth.
She had not made a deep cut. Very quickly, it ceased to bleed. She shifted her hand away and brought a waterproof ster out from the first aid kit. She pasted it over her wound.
This way, the sea water would note into contact with her cut.
She stared at the first aid kit in a daze. There was a transparent bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Her vision was turning blurry and she even felt the urge to drink it as if it was water.
Her rationality reminded her that she could not afford to drink it. It would poison her to death.
Sigh.
How was she supposed to make water appear?
She lifted Bai Qinghao¡¯s wrist to check the time. It was 4:00 in the morning.
The night sky was pitch ck and the stars were no longer anywhere to be found.
At this moment, the water was especially cold.
A smallyer of mist was forming above the surface. All of a sudden, she realized something. When the water vapor came into contact with the cold air, it would condense into water droplets.
This was it!
She finally had a method of producing water.
She needed a bottle and a knife.
The surgical knife was readily avable. As for the bottle¡
There were three bottles in the first aid kit. The ss bottle containing the rubbing alcohol was thergest. As Bai Qinghao¡¯s wound still needed to be cleaned, the rubbing alcohol would be important for him.
She needed to keep it.
She nced at the other two bottles. One contained the fever medicine and the other contained the medicine for his wound.
Both were essential.
She saw that there was a packet of pills in a ziplock bag by the side.
She poured the fever reducing pills into the small bag. This way, the bottle would be empty.
She touched her head and retrieved a ck hairpin from her hair. It was around one millimeter wide and five centimeters long.
She first ced the knife into the bottle before sliding the handle of the knife into the hairpin. The hairpin rested against the mouth of the bottle, keeping the tip of the knife from touching the bottom of the bottle.
Finally, she closed the first aid kit and rested Bai Qinghao¡¯s head against it. She also ced the prepared bottle on the first aid kit.
The temperature was especially cold before sunrise and the fog was heavy.
As the fog came into contact with the cold knife, water droplets would form and slide along the knife to drip into the bottle.
Did she have any other items made of metal or steel? These items were especially useful for forming water droplets.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s watch!
The chain of his watch had to be made of gold.
However, she did not have any other bottles to ce his watch in.
She did not dare to pour the medicine for his wound elsewhere. She was afraid it would be contaminated..

She could only take his watch off for now.
She saw that there was nowhere suitable for her to ce it. Thus, she used her hair tie to bind it onto the side of the first-aid kit.
When a smallyer of water formed on the surface of the watch, she directly licked it.
At the very least, it would ease some of her thirst.
Countless little droplets formed on the surface of the watch. It eventually eased the painful dryness in her throat.
Three hourster, the bottle was nearly filled with water.
It was a pity that the bottle was too small. It could barely contain a hundred millimeters of water.
She reached for the bottle and drank half of it thirstily.
It was only fifty millimeters of water, yet the water was half gone.
She did not feel significantly better.
She truly wanted to finish the remaining water. However, the fog was lifting and the rising sun reflected against the surface of the water.
No more water droplets would form.
Fang Xinxin returned the watch to Bai Qinghao¡¯s wrist.
She then brought the surgical knife out of the bottle, cing it back into the first aid kit. Finally, she tucked her hairpin back into her hair.
She closed the lid of the bottle and kept the remaining water into the first aid kit.
She would feed it to Bai Qinghao when he woke up.
Originally, with his watch guiding them, if they swam towards the north, they could have headed to their original destination: the Mo Jia La Ind.
Unfortunately, it had been twenty-four hours since shest slept and she did not have the strength to swim. They could only drift along the surface of the water.
The sky was an azure blue, much like the surface of the water. The line which separated the sky and the ocean was sparkling with the reflection of the sunrise and it made for a stunning sight.
A cold wave of ocean breeze blew by and it startled her awake.
If the time and location were more appropriate, she would definitely have paused to appreciate the scene.
Just a moment ago, the waves had been calm. Right now, however, the waves were powerful and it left their hair soaked.
Another powerful wave swept past.
She had predicted that it would submerge them beneath the water. Thus, she took a deep breath in and held her breath while reaching out to pinch Bai Qinghao¡¯s nose. She needed to ensure he would not choke.
Both of them were brought twenty meters beneath the surface.
Thankfully, his life jacket quickly brought them back to the surface. The first aid kit also quickly floated upwards.
As the first aid kit was waterproof, she did not worry that the items would be damaged.
She had tied herself to him with his shirt and quickly floated up with him.
When their heads emerged from the surface, she quickly took in a deep breath .She also released his nose to allow him to breathe.
He barely reacted despite the powerful wave from earlier¡
Fang Xinxin could not help but worry. She was deeply fearful that he would die.
Thankfully, when she brought her hand beneath his nose, she found that he was breathing weakly.
Everything was well as long as he was alive.
If he died, she would also give up all hopes of living.
He was seriously injured. Still, she understood that whatever consciousness he had left, he was using it to protect her and to take care of her.
Even earlier, when he had taken off his life jacket while the shark made the move to bite him.
She knew very well that he was afraid she would drown to death without a life jacket. He had hoped she would be lucky enough to find that life jacket after he died. At the very least, it would increase her chance of survival.
Thankfully, she had been right by his side and immediately retrieved that life jacket.
They had ovee even the most dangerous moment. She absolutely would not allow them to die here!
She wasn¡¯t sure when they would findnd.
Their survival was dependent on the small amount of water they could collect and the piece of shark meat they had in the first aid kit.
In order to prevent the meat from spoiling, she brought it out when the water was calm to dry it..
Chapter 796 - Woke Up
Chapter 796: Woke Up
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
By the afternoon, the sun was scalding hot.
She touched his forehead and realized that he was still burning up.
Damn it! His fever had yet to break.
At this moment, the ocean was very calm.
Bai Qinghao had only eaten a few slices of shark meatst night. He needed to eat something before taking the fever-reducing medicine again.
Fang Xinxin sliced a few thin slices of the half-dried shark meat and fed it to him. However, he could not swallow in his unconscious state.
She was helpless and could only tug the pieces of meat out from his mouth. She then chewed it up and fed it to him with a kiss.
She wasn¡¯t being stingy. They only had around two and a half kilograms of fish meat. Since yesterday, they had both eaten some of it.
She had also dried up a portion of it.
Now, they only had around one and a half kilograms of fish meat left.
If they failed to findnd in time, this would be their only source of food. She needed to ration it as well as she could.
She chewed on more pieces of fish meat and fed it to him. When he failed to swallow, she brought out the small bottle of water she had collected and fed some to him.
She then made him take another dose of fever reducing medicine.
With her repeated actions, the bottle of water was quickly emptied. But thankfully, he had unconsciously eaten a quarter of a kilogram of fish meat.
She ate a little of the food herself.
She checked the remaining meat and saw that they had around a kilogram left.
She kept the remaining food into the first aid kit and began to think about the shark¡¯s corpse from earlier.
It had been especiallyrge.
It would have been sufficient to keep them alive for days.
It was a pity that given the circumstances, she could only retrieve a small portion of its meat.
The afternoon sun was scalding and Fang Xinxin¡¯s skin felt as if it was being burnt.
Her fair skin had turned red due to the burn.
At this rate, they would both be especially tanned.
However, she realized their survival wasn¡¯t even confirmed. Whether they ended up tanned or not was secondary.
¡°Xinxin¡¡± Bai Qinghao murmured to himself in his unconscious state.
His weak voice could barely be heard. Still, it left her deeply moved.
Even in his current state, he was thinking of her. It was clear that this man loved her dearly.
She was really, really, really thirsty!
She really wished she had water to drink. Her throat was painfully dry again.
She saw that Bai Qinghao¡¯s lips had also cracked.
However, she did not have any more methods to resort to. They were floating amidst the ocean and she could not obtain pure water.
She was looking forward to the evening. It would be best if she could collect more water then.
It was a pity that the more she looked forward to something, the slower time seemed to pass. The seconds seemed to be moving at a tenth of its speed.
In order to reduce the likelihood of a heatstroke, at times, she would pour some sea water over both their heads.
¡°Bai Qinghao, you have to hold on!¡± She murmured. Her throat was so dry that she could barely speak.
She finally endured past another sunset and another evening¡
Finally, it was early morning.
She repeated the same method fromst night, licking the water droplets from the surface of the watch and drinking half the bottle of water she collected.
She saved the remaining water for Bai Qinghao.
At around 8:00 in the morning, she touched his forehead¡
His fever had subsided.
Thank god.
She could barely keep herself awake. Her eyes were sliding shut every so often.
She really wanted to sleep! If she held on any longer, she felt she would die of exhaustion!
She was relying on an immense willpower to keep awake.
Thankfully, at this moment, Bai Qinghao¡¯s lids fluttered and he woke up.
Almost immediately, he gasped out. ¡°Xinxin!¡±
Chapter 797 - Awake
Chapter 797: Awake
His voice was especially hoarse due to his dry throat.
¡°You¡¯re finally awake!¡± A hint of excitement appeared on Fang Xinxin¡¯s stunning features. She seemed as though she had finally seen a ray of hope after years of destion.
She embraced him tightly and pressed kisses against his pale cheeks.
¡°I¡¯m actually alive! To think that I could see you again!¡± He returned her embrace with the same fervor. If this had been any other time, his grip would definitely have bruised her.
However, he was now seriously injured and barely had any strength.
¡°En, en. You¡¯re still alive. We¡¯re still together.¡± Fang Xinxin nodded repeatedly. She was already in tears.
In fact, while he had been unconscious, she had checked his breath repeatedly for fear that he would die.
Although she wasn¡¯t a doctor, she had been both blind and paralysed in her past life. Her prolonged illness had turned her into a good doctor. She understood that his consciousness meant that he had made it past the critical period.
Bai Qinghao had been mostly unconscious the whole time, but he was somewhat aware of what had happened.
He knew that she had fed him food and water.
¡°En, we¡¯re still together!¡± His gaze fully conveyed how moved he felt.
¡°Now that you¡¯re awake, you must be hungry.¡± She opened the first aid kit. ¡°Quickly eat something and drink some water.¡±
¡°Water¡¡± A hint of surprise shed past his gaze. ¡°How did you obtain water?¡±
¡°I ced the surgical knife into a bottle before sunrise and collected some dew drops.¡± She handed the bottle to him and removed the lid. ¡°Quickly drink it.¡±
His wife sure was smart. She even came up with a method to collect water. He nced at the half-filled bottle. There was only around fifty millimeters of water. ¡°It didn¡¯t evaporate in the day?¡±
¡°I closed the bottle tightly in the daylight and stored it in my pocket. The bottle was soaking in the seawater to keep from being evaporated.¡±
He finally understood. Although it seemed like a small portion of water, she went through many difficulties to keep it for him.
She saw that his lips were cracked and urged. ¡°Hurry and drink it!¡±
At daylight, her throat had been painfully dry and it hadn¡¯t been easy stopping herself from drinking this water.
He shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m much better now. You can have it.¡±
She was far too thirsty. She also understood he would not take all the water for himself. Thus, she said, ¡°The sun has set. It¡¯s time for dinner. Let¡¯s eat something and split the water between the two of us.¡±
She saw that he wanted to protest and hurriedly added. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to argue with me. You need to drink some water and eat some food. My heart will ache if your wound doesn¡¯t recover.¡±
He also understood that his current, wounded state was a burden to her.
Since she loved him dearly, he needed to recover as quickly as he could.
Thus, they sliced more pieces of the shark meat, around five hundred grams of it together. They relied on the small amount of water to help them to swallow each mouthful.
Just like this, all the water was used up.
They had around seven hundred grams of fish meat still left.
Their food was running out and they could only collect a small amount of water every morning.
Although their chances for survival were low, Bai Qinghao strangely felt overjoyed.
What reason did he have to be unhappy? His wife was devoting her entire being to loving him. Despite the time, the risks and the dire circumstances, she had refused to abandon him!
He swore that if they both survived, he would dote on her even more than he previously did!
After eating, Bai Qinghao seemed to have thought of something. ¡°How long was I unconscious for?¡±
¡°You were in aa for two days and two nights.¡±
¡°I remember that I had a fever.¡± He frowned. ¡°You fed me medicine before early morning. You couldn¡¯t have had any water with you at the time..¡±

¡°That¡¯s right.¡± She nodded without any suspicion about his questions. ¡°You knew that you had a fever?¡±
¡°My mind had been especially heavy at the time.¡± He said, ¡°The fever caused the medicine to taste especially bitter and I was unable to swallow it. How did you find the water to make me take it?¡±
¡°I¡¡± She pursed her lips. She did not wish to tell him that she had cut herself and fed him her blood. ¡°I used my saliva.¡±
It was a white lie.
He frowned.
She grew unhappy. ¡°What about it? Do you find my saliva dirty?¡±
¡°Everything about you is sweet to me.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s body was weak from his injuries, but his eyes were especially sharp. ¡°But I¡¯m certain you didn¡¯t even have enough saliva at the time.¡±
¡°¡¡± She had no way of refuting it.
At that moment, his mouth had been filled with a sweet, copperish taste.
He carefully scanned her paleplexion and hoped it wasn¡¯t as he guessed.
He saw that she had pressed her left hand behind her back. ¡°Give me your hand.¡±
She offered her right hand. ¡°My skin has gone all wrinkly from soaking in the water. What¡¯s there for you to look at?¡±
¡°I¡¯m talking about your left hand!¡± He demanded.
She refused and he could only employ all his strength to forcefully tug her hand up. When he saw the ster on the back of her hand, he asked. ¡°What happened here?¡±
¡°I got injured identally.¡± She held onto her lie stubbornly.
¡°You must have cut yourself to feed your blood to me,¡± he spoke firmly.
¡°So you knew.¡± She had no choice but to admit it.
He teared up in heartache. ¡°Fang Xinxin, how could you do that!¡±
Bai Qinghao, whose features were cold and frigid, usually had a firmposure and barely showed any emotions to anyone. However, right now, he was actually in tears. The sight of it left Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart aching.¡±I didn¡¯t have any other method¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t want it to be like this, not like this!¡± He whispered in guilt as he embraced her.
¡°I just wanted you to be better.¡± She said, ¡°If you were in my position, you would have done the same, wouldn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to do this again. Do you understand!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it in the future.¡±
He was helpless as his heart drowned in both pain and love for her. Dear God, he truly did not know how he was supposed to love her. How could he make up for all he owed her?
¡°Sleep for a little while.¡± He caressed her cheek in heartache as he took her exhaustion in.
Fang Xinxin nced at the bandage around his chest. ¡°Bai Qinghao, we need to clean your wound first.¡± Earlier, he was unconscious and it had been difficult for her to do anything.
She could no longer rely on her abilities to levitate him. It expended too much energy and she was certain that she would lose consciousness if she tried.
Their circumstances would worsen if that happened.
Now that he was awake, things would be much easier.
He could not fight against her stubborn insistence. He also understood that it was important for him to quickly recover. Thus, he gave in.
She opened the first aid kit and soaked a piece of gauze in rubbing alcohol.
He took off the life jacket and ced it on her.
Then, he held onto her shoulders to keep the top half of his body above the surface.
She hurriedly removed his bandages and peeled off the dried-upyer of medicine with the surgical knife. She disinfected his wound methodically and re-applied a newyer of medicine, before wrapping it up with more bandages.
After that, he eased himself back into the water in exhaustion.
Fang Xinxin returned the life jacket to him.
He was currently a patient and it was difficult for him to tread in the turbulent water. He was also much heavier and it would be more tiring for him to hold onto her.
Thus, it was for the best that she held onto him..

She closed the first aid kit and used his dress shirt to tie the both of them together once more.
¡°Get some sleep,¡± he spoke up.
¡°En. Wake me up if you¡¯re tired.¡± She was truly too exhausted. She wrapped her limbs around him like a ko and leaned against his shoulder, quickly falling asleep.
He lowered his head and took in her stunning features. There was a heavy shadow beneath her eyes. His heart was aching deeply for her and it felt as though it was bleeding.
He was intelligent and understood that she had endured two days and two nights of wakefulness to keep the both of them from drowning.
Although they were floating amidst the ocean, as he took in her stunning features and felt her limbs wrapped around him, his heart rippled and his body responded.
However, this wasn¡¯t the appropriate time for such matters.
She slept deeply and gradually loosened her grip around him, floating close by.
Although the shirt was tying them both together, it was unavoidable that her head would tilt towards the water.
He supported her head with some difficulty and brought her closer to lean against his shoulder.
The two of them were still adrift when Fang Xinxin woke up. She opened her eyes to see the burning hot sun. It left her skin feeling prickly hot. She did not have to check the time to know that it waste afternoon.
Fromst evening till this afternoon, Fang Xinxin had sufficiently made up for her sleep debt.
However, hunger left her body feeling weak. Her throat was also painfully dry.
She had slept against his shoulder for so long. Yet, her neck¡ did not feel stiff whatsoever.
She vaguely recollected someone massaging her shoulders while she had been asleep.
She lifted her head and immediately saw Bai Qinghao¡¯s paleplexion.
His dark circles were obvious.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up earlier!¡± She spoke hoarsely as she looked at him in heartache. ¡°You¡¯re injured. You need sufficient rest.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± He shook his head and opened the first aid kit with some difficulties. ¡°Eat some food and drink some water.¡±
Fang Xinxin saw that there was a bottle of water in the first aid kit.
She was certain that he had relied on her method to obtain more water early in the morning.
She really could not fathom how he had done so while taking care of her despite his injuries.
Anyone else would have died with his wounds. It was clear that he had a greater willpower than the average man.
Most importantly, the bottle was full of water. This meant that he had yet to drink from it.
Her heart immediately ached for him. ¡°We¡¯ll go by the same rules and split it equally. Don¡¯t try to convince me to drink more. If we waste our breath any longer, the water will evaporate. That¡¯s simply too wasteful.¡±
He was deeply moved and nodded reluctantly.
This time, they only had a few slices of the shark meat and shared a hundred millimeters of morning dew.
They then relied on the remaining shark meat and the water they collected every morning while drifting for two more days.
It was another morning. Despite how little they had been eating, all their food was finally gone.
It had been six days since they fell into the ocean.
Neither of them had eaten sufficiently since then. The miserly bottle of morning dew they collected every morning was also barely enough to keep them alive.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were not only dizzy from their hunger. They were also about to die from thirst!
It seemed as though God had been ying a joke on them. For the past six days, it never rained even once.
Fang Xinxin was hoping that Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinates would locate them.
However, she also knew that they likely could not urately identify where they werest seen..

The two of them drifted for six days and had now moved a great distance from where they had firstnded. The ocean was wide and boundless. Locating them was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Their chance of survival was far too small.
In other words, it was realistically unlikely for anyone to rescue them.
Although they had eaten some food, they were both extremely thirsty and were barely alive!
Bai Qinghao also felt very helpless. He spoke up hoarsely. ¡°Xinxin¡¡±
His voice could barely be heard.
¡°En?¡± Likewise, she could only respond weakly.
He touched her lip. ¡°Drink some of my blood¡ bite me.¡±
Speaking a few words had already exhausted nearly all his energy.
She leaned against his shoulder and lifted her head with some difficulty. Her lips were dry and cracked. ¡°I would rather die.¡±
He closed his eyes helplessly. ¡°I can¡¯t bear for you to die. But I¡¯m sure I would be very happy if I died with you¡¡±
Soon, he could not speak any further.
Several hourster, both of them were thoroughly dehydrated.
Bai Qinghao watched as Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes closed. ¡°Xinxin, you can¡¯t sleep¡¡±
If she slept now, she would never wake again!
¡°Bai Qinghao, I can¡¯t hold on any longer¡¡± She was nearly on herst breath.
Although he was her husband, at times, she preferred addressing him by his name.
This was because he was the one and only Bai Qinghao.
In the past six days, his injuries had recovered significantly. However, as they barely ate or drank, his willpower was also depleting.
It seemed like God intended on starving them to death just like this.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin noticed something soaring across the sky. She seemed to have found hope as she gained the strength to tilt her head backwards. ¡°Is that a ne?¡±
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao shook his head. His voice was as light as a breath. ¡°It¡¯s a seagull.¡± His pitiful wife mistook a little bird for a ne. It was likely she was hallucinating.
¡°So it¡¯s not a ne.¡± Her shoulders drooped.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She opened the first aid kit and retrieved a few fever reducing pills. She then activated her special powers and sent it flying in the direction of the seagull.
If this had been any other time, she would have sessfully taken the bird down.
However, in her weak and dying state, her concentration was much weaker.
Although the pills found their target, the bird only swayed for a moment before continuing on its flight.
¡°Don¡¯t run away!¡± She gasped in regret. That was a source of food.
In the next moment, Bai Qinghao had tossed a surgical knife out. It urately hit the seagull¡¯s body.
It fell into the ocean with a ssh.
Fang Xinxin did not expect Bai Qinghao to be this skilled. She was deeply moved and kissed him on the cheek. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re amazing!¡±
Bai Qinghao was somewhat embarrassed by her praise. ¡°Let¡¯s go pick it up.¡±
The two of them used all their strength to swim towards the floating bird. It was still warm when they picked it up.
They retrieved the surgical knife and immediately took turns to drink the warm seagull¡¯s blood.
The taste was unpleasant and most people would have trouble swallowing it. Still, it was extremely delicious to them.
They thoroughly drained the carcass of its blood.
Finally, they seemed to havee back to life now that their thirst was slightly eased..

Soon after, they plucked the feathers off the carcass and sliced it open with the surgical knife.
They carefully removed its organs and washed it clean.
The entire carcass was sliced into pieces. In the process, they also collected half a bottle of its blood.
This was all done by Bai Qinghao.
As expected, things were always better when her husband was there to care for her.
The two of them could not bear to touch the remaining blood and decided to save it.
Fang Xinxin then picked up a piece of the raw meat. She bit into it and immediately spat it out in disgust. ¡°Ew, ew, it¡¯s so bad!¡±
Bai Qinghao watched her in heartache. ¡°The sun is bright right now. The wind is also strong. Let it dry up a little first so that it will be more ptable.¡±
¡°En.¡± She could only wait for the raw meat to dry up before eating it again.
The two of them relied on the meat and blood they had collected, as well as some morning dew, to survive for the next two days.
After nine days, at midnight, the ocean became extremely fierce. Every wave that swept past them pulled them beneath the surface.
They relied on the life jacket and their willpower to break the surface each time.
The humid air however, left Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin panting in anticipation. It seemed like it would soon rain.
As expected, thirty minutester, a heavy rainstorm appeared.
They opened their mouths in excitement and cupped their hands together to drink, thoroughly satisfying their thirst.
Finally, they could stop worrying about water for some time.
When they were thoroughly satiated, Bai Qinghao tossed away most of the things in the first aid kit.
He had mostly recovered from his wounds. It was more important to collect rainwater right now.
He saved a few fever reducing pills and some of the medicine for wounds in a small ziploc bag.
The bottle of rubbing alcohol was emptied and washed with rainwater before being filled up.
The other two emptied bottles were also filled up.
The enormous first aid kit itself could likely hold ten kilograms of water.
With a proper reserve of water, they would survive for the next few days.
The first aid kit would remain afloat without any of their efforts. Even the three bottles of rainwater could be properly shut close.
Fang Xinxin tore a portion of Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt into strips and tied the bottles to the first aid box.
This way, the remaining water would not be a burden to them.
After all their work, like a cruel joke, the rain ensued for two days and two nights.
The powerful raindrops smashed against their skin painfully. They could barely keep their eyes open.
At times, Bai Qinghao would reach his hands out to protect his wife. It was a pity that his efforts barely made a difference.
Due to the enormous rainstorm, the waves were also powerful. At times, it would sweep them twenty meters away and at times, it would toss them upwards.
They could only embrace each other tightly. They refused to separate even in death.
Otherwise, with the current circumstances, if they separated, a single wave would send them hundreds of meters apart.
After remaining adrift for days and barely surviving, they were both exhausted. It would be impossible for them to swim towards each other once more.
The rain was relentless and not a single bird was in sight.
Although the rain at times lightened and seagulls flew by, they were too far for the two of them to do anything.
Finally, the rain finally ceased. It had been three days since theyst ate.
This time, they were not dying of thirst. Instead, they were starving to death.
They could only drink some of the rainwater they had saved up, to fill up their stomachs.
Just as they were about to start hallucinating due to hunger, they saw an ind from afar.

Fang Xinxin, who was starving, struggled to keep her eyes open. She felt as if she was hallucinating.
That¡¯s because she hoped too desperately to findnd.
At times, she would fantasize that a ne was flying by to pick them up. She also thought about escaping to other dimensions, as the fictitious characters in the novels she had read would do.
It was a pity that there was no such thing in real life.
After drifting for ten days, her soft and fair skin had gonepletely wrinkled. She was about to soak in the ocean to her death!
The ind before them appeared just like paradise.
Was she hallucinating on the verge of her death?
She blinked again and realized that the ind did not disappear. She hurriedly tugged on Bai Qinghao¡¯s elbow. ¡°Hubby, quickly look. Is that a mirage?¡±
He nced towards the distance and spoke with a hint of excitement. ¡°That¡¯s an ind.¡±
Although she was nearly starving to death, she immediately seemed to regain a lot of energy. She leaned forward and lifted her right hand to block off the bright sunlight. ¡°It¡¯s actually an ind!¡± This was wonderful. They could finally stand on propernd!
Indeed.
Both of them immediately began swimming towards the ind with all their might.
The ind appeared a good distance away and the waves were ferocious and kept setting them back significantly. They had swam over fifty meters with much difficulty and a single, powerful wave shoved them backwards by forty meters in one go.
¡°Fuck!¡± Fang Xinxin could not resist cussing.
Bai Qinghao was well brought up and was not prone to cursing. However, he watched as his wife¡¯s cheeks reddened with anger and could not help but find her adorable. ¡°How about you hold onto me? I¡¯ll swim towards the ind.¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be faster if we move together. I really miss standing onnd too much.¡± She felt her blood pumping with energy.
Bai Qinghao felt that drifting amidst the ocean with his wife was also a unique form of bliss.
After all, he only needed her to be happy.
The two of them exhibited an impressive amount of willpower as they swam towards the ind.
It was still at least several kilometers of distance away. The two of them spent nearly five hours swimming before they finally arrived on the ind.
They stepped on the soft sand, supporting each other in treading through the waters. The water slowly moved beneath their chests, towards their knees and finally beneath their feet.
¡°Wow! We¡¯re finally fucking onnd!¡± Fang Xinxin untied the shirt that held Bai Qinghao and her together. She then spread her limbs open andid back on the sand.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s energy was also thoroughly drained. Heid down by her side in exhaustion.
A wave came towards them and crashed against the shores weakly. The warm water swept past their figures and returned to the ocean.
Their bodies shifted slightly with the wave, but they were not washed adrift. Instead, only their clothes became slightly more damp.
It was afternoon and the sun was scaldingly hot.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao rested on the beach for several minutes. They sat up after recovering some strength.
Bai Qinghao took in his wife¡¯s wrinkled skin with heartache. Her skin was peeling in some areas.
Thankfully, it recovered significantly after they arrived on the shore.
In fact, his skin had also be wrinkled from drifting in the ocean. However, as a man, he was unbothered by this.
He picked up the first aid kit along with the three small bottles of water tied onto it..
Chapter 803 - Survival On Island (Part 1)
Chapter 803: Survival On Ind (Part 1)

He picked up the shirt they had discarded aside earlier. He held all the items with one hand and tugged Fang Xinxin up with the other. ¡°Wife, let¡¯s search for a ce to avoid the sunlight before we look for food.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nced towards the burning hot sun. ¡°We have to find somewhere with shade.¡±
Otherwise, they would likely suffer from heat stroke.
In fact, both of them were currently in very poor health. They were dizzy from hunger and their skin was wrinkled after drifting in the ocean for days.
Fang Xinxin felt that she was doing alright. She would quickly recover from the surface wounds and her hunger with some food.
But Bai Qinghao¡
Although his gunshot wound had recovered significantly, hisplexion appeared especially poor.
Previously, when they had fallen in the ocean, he had protected her and suffered the impact of their fall. Could it be that he had lingering injuries from the fall?
This was an unidentified and uninhabited ind. Both of them were starving and did not dare to venture too deep into the ind for fear that they woulde across threats that they could not handle.
However, after walking for several hundred meters, all they found were short bushes and a single, enormous tree. None of them could provide any useful shade.
The two of them no longer had any more strength left to explore the ce.
Bai Qinghao scanned their surroundings and found a piece of tnd. He supported Fang Xinxin to sit. ¡°It seems like we¡¯ll have to build a shelter ourselves.¡±
Fang Xinxin discovered that there were a lot of mosquitoes in this ce. Both of them had already been bitten many times. ¡°Let¡¯s build one by the beach. There are too many mosquitoes here.¡±
¡°En.¡± He nodded. As he took in the reddened bumps on her skin, his heart ached for her. ¡°Find a ce to rest. Leave this matter to me.¡±
¡°Is your body alright¡¡± She asked in concern.
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Truthfully, he felt pangs of pain in his body every so often. However, he felt much better than when he first got injured and felt that could still endure it.
¡°Drink some water first.¡± She retrieved a bottle tied to the first aid kit. It had been used to contain rubbing alcohol, but had since been emptied and filled with rain water.
He received it and emptied the entire bottle.
Fang Xinxin also finished the water in the other two bottles.
As the bottle was too small, it barely contained enough water from them. Thus, they also drank some of the water they had stored in the first aid kit.
Finally, when their thirst was satiated, they were left with around 2.5 liters of water in the first aid box. It would likelyst them for two more days.
Looking for food was more urgent than building a shade right now.
Bai Qinghao scanned their surroundings and spoke up, ¡°Wife, I¡¯ll go to the seaside to see if there is any food we can eat.¡±
He wanted to bring her along with him. However, her exhausted appearance left his heart aching. Thus, he said, ¡°Find somewhere cool to wait for me. I¡¯ll be back quickly.¡±
She nodded.
She also wanted to help. However, she was nearly paralysed from exhaustion.
She noticed a small shadow cast by a tall tree and sat down underneath to doze off.
Almost an hourter, as Fang Xinxin began to worry for Bai Qinghao, he returned. He held a bundle made from his shirt in his arms.
She hurriedly stood up. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back.¡±
His heart rippled looking at her overjoyed expression. ¡°En.¡± He opened the dress shirt in his arms. It contained a small pile of shells. ¡°These are edible seafood.. But we don¡¯t have a pot or a source of fire.¡±
Chapter 804 - Survival On Island (Part 2)
Chapter 804: Survival On Ind (Part 2)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°We¡¯ll eat it raw then. It¡¯s more important that we don¡¯t die from hunger.¡± She concentrated on using the surgical knife to remove the raw meat from the shellfish. She then sliced them into thin pieces to make it more ptable.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart ached at the thought of making his wife eat something like this. However, he was also helpless.
In this uninhabited ind, their survival was of utmost importance.
Fang Xinxin however, felt that the shellfish he had collected were much better than the raw seagulls they had eaten at sea. She asked as she chewed. ¡°I didn¡¯t see any shellfish where we had been earlier. You must have walked a long time to find these.¡±
He took in her stunning, but tanned skin. ¡°I didn¡¯t walk very far. It was around a few hundred meters, at most.¡±
She brought a piece of the sliced meat to his mouth. ¡°You should eat too¡¡±
He nodded.
As it had been inconvenient carrying these back, he had considered eating while picking the shellfish. However, doing so would dy his return and she would be starving.
Thus, he brought all the edible shellfish back at a go.
Both of them ate arge pile of raw, fishy shellfish together. Then they drank some of the rainwater from the first aid kit.
Finally, they were around three quarters full and had recovered from the verge of death.
In fact, drifting amidst the ocean was especially tiring even if one did not swim.
Bai Qinghao had walked a long time to look for food and was exhausted.
The sun was no longer as bright as earlier. Thus, they found a shaded spot beneath the trees where there were less mosquitoes. They embraced each other and fell into deep sleep.
They only woke up at midnight.
As they were located near the beach, the sea breeze was humid and painfully cold.
Bai Qinghao opened his eyes to pitch-ck darkness. He shifted hisrge and strong body to protect Fang Xinxin from the wind.
She curled up in his embrace and murmured softly. ¡°It¡¯s so cold.¡±
He tightened his arms around her in heartache. He hated himself for being unable to offer her any warmth.
Despite his best efforts to protect her, Fang Xinxin was woken up by the cold.
She opened her eyes to see that he was watching her deeply¡
¡°When did you wake up?¡± Her voice was husky from sleep.
¡°Just now,¡± he spoke softly.
She curled up in his arms. ¡°Hubby, if only we had some way to ease the cold.¡±
¡°We do.¡± As his thoughts began to shift, his cold, heavy voice also sounded deeper.
¡°We don¡¯t have a fire.¡± She frowned. ¡°How are we supposed to warm up?¡±
¡°We can create warmth ourselves.¡±
¡°But it¡¯s been days since west showered¡¡±
¡°That doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Bai Qinghao shook his head.
¡°But I mind it!¡± She dered her thoughts clearly.
Thus, they used the precious water they had left to wipe themselves clean.
It was truly too cold. Even the air around them seemed to be freezing. Their goosebumps were raised and they would likely fall sick if they remained in this condition any longer. They had to do something about it.
They naturally could not pass up on a good solution.
They embraced each other intimately.
The warmth surrounded them¡
¡
Nearing daylight, Bai Qinghao got up to collect water.
After pouring some water into the three bottlesst night, they had wiped themselves off with the remaining water. The first aid kit was now emptied.
Bai Qinghao approached the seaside and looked for the most humid location. He then opened the first aid kit.
He collected some tree branches and tied them up into a simple pyramid shaped support.
At the center of the tree branches was the surgical knife..
Chapter 805 - Survival On Island (Part 3)
Chapter 805: Survival On Ind (Part 3)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
This way, the water droplets that condensed on the surgical knife in the early morning would flow along the surgical knife to drip into the first aid box.
The first aid box was used to contain the surgical knife.
But the lid itself could also be used to collect water.
Thus, Bai Qinghao took off his expensive, waterproof watch. He arranged it to simrly hang above the lid. This way, there would be another source of pure water.
For the time being, he could not locate any other items suitable for collecting drinkable water.
Bai Qinghao returned to where Fang Xinxin was lying beneath a tree.
She was still asleep.
They had been too unrestrainedst night and she was thoroughly exhausted.
After drifting ashore for so long and enduring countless dangers, both of them had been overwhelmed with emotions.
The shells he had stored in his shirt earlier had fully dried up. Even their clothes had fully dried up by yesterday afternoon.
After embracing her earlier, they had gotten fully dressed again.
He unbuttoned his shirt and wrapped it around her. It would be good if it warmed her up even slightly.
He had thought to leave to collect some dew water from the leaves. However, as he watched her sleep, he realized that she was trembling.
He was worried she would fall sick. Thus, he sat down on the ground and lifted her into his arms, allowing her to rest in his embrace.
Fang Xinxin was thoroughly exhausted. She opened her eyes drowsily and when she saw that it was him, she quickly fell back asleep.
Her husband¡¯s embrace was indeed much warmer.
As Bai Qinghao held her, he swore internally that he would build a shelter for them when the sun rose. He would not let her sleep on the ground again.
By the time the morning mist had faded and the sun had risen, Bai Qinghao had to put Fang Xinxin down to ensure the water he had collected would not evaporate. He then went to check on the first aid box nearby.
He approached and saw that there were around three hundred millimeters of water in the box. There was also around two hundred millimeters of water in its lid.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
As expected, this ind was much more humid and they could collect more water than they did when they were adrift.
Although five hundred millimeters of water was not sufficient for them tost through the day, at the very least, they would not die of thirst.
If he failed to collect more water or was unable to locate a water source, perhaps he would look for edible fruits to hydrate them.
He carefully poured the water on the lid into the box before closing it.
He then searched for an area with a lot of shade and buried the box there.
This would prevent the water from evaporating when the temperature became too high.
Bai Qinghao then returned to the beach to search for edible shellfish once again.
After an hour, he finally collected around a kilogram of shellfish.
There were barely any edible shellfish on this beach.
The ind itself seemed to have very few sources of food.
His pockets were stuffed with shellfish. He held another pile in his palms as he returned to Fang Xinxin.
She had just awoken when Bai Qinghao ced the pile of seashells by her side.
He then brought more out from his pockets. The two of them resolved the breakfast situation like that.
¡°It sure is good to have a husband.¡± She smiled beautifully as she teased him. ¡°I get breakfast the moment I wake up.¡±
Bai Qinghao saw that she was smiling sincerely. However, this only caused him to feel more guilty. ¡°Silly.¡±
She was the only one who would think that there was anything good about this situation. If any other woman had to suffer with him like this, they would most definitely have resented him to death.
¡°You¡¯re the silly one.¡± Fang Xinxin asked him for the surgical knife to continue removing the meat from the shellfish but he did not hand it over.. Instead, he removed several pieces of meat and sliced them thinly before cing them on a clean leaf for her.
Chapter 806 - Building Shelter (Part 1)
Chapter 806: Building Shelter (Part 1)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
She received it and the two of them happily had a meal of raw shellfish.
Right after, Bai Qinghao began collectingrge leaves, vines and branches to build a shelter for them.
As he was building it by hand, his progress was extremely slow.
The only knife which they had needed to be kept for slicing food. He did not wish to use it on the vines in case it turned blunt.
Fang Xinxin wanted to help. However, Bai Qinghao did not allow her and she could only watch from the side.
After discussing it, they decide to build their shelter next to a hill near the beach. It was only slightly taller than them and was suitable for blocking off the wind.
There was arge, emptynd before the hill and was suitable for constructing a shelter.
Bai Qinghao tied the branches up with vines and began building arge roof. Every so often, he would addrge leaves and grass onto it.
Four thin and dried up tree trunks were used as poles to hold the roof above the ground. He dug them into the ground firmly.
He moved arge rock over and stood on it to attach vines onto the top of the tree trunks.
Next, he began adding tree branches to make the entire structure stronger¡
Fang Xinxin watched him for a while before she left to look for food.
Bai Qinghao instructed her to avoid walking too deep into the forest in case she met with danger.
She agreed to this and only nned to stroll around the area. After heading around three hundred meters into the forest, the forest became much thicker and there were many more mosquitoes.
Her shoes had already fallen off when they had been drifting. She truly could not make it far with her bare feet.
After a few hundred meters, her feet were already scratched by the ground.
She scanned her surroundings and did not find a single fruit. It seemed like there were no hopes of eating any fruit.
However, it had already been eleven days since they had any fruits or vegetables. If they did not eat something nutritious, they would quickly fall ill.
Vegetables and fruits were the best options.
She scanned the thick vines¡.
All of a sudden, she felt that this was also a good option.
She squatted down and began to dig for the nt roots.
As it was too difficult to dig with her hands, she searched for arge rock to use. She uncovered arge amount of grass roots and saw that they were plump with moisture. She patted away the dirt and began to nibble on the roots.
They tasted clean and sweet¡ they were delicious!
The grass roots were also a form of vegetable. At the very least, it would provide them with some nutrients.
She nibbled on enough to get full before digging another pile out for Bai Qinghao.
However, there wasn¡¯t anything she could use to carry the grass roots.
Bai Qinghao normally wore his shirt and only took it off when they needed to carry something.
She saw that bamboo of various sizes were growing by the side and decided she would weave a bamboo basket.
She broke off as many thin bamboos as she could and tied them up with a rattan string. She then carried it back to Bai Qinghao and tossed them next to the shelter he was building.
She saw that Bai Qinghao was shirtless as he used the vines to strengthen the structure.
His features were stern and he had a set of sharp brows and bright eyes. Apanied with his sharp nose and thin lips, his charisma was through the roof.
As he busied himself beneath the sunlight, his back was dripping with sweat and his muscles were taut with the strength he was using. His waist was thin and his arms were thick. He appeared as masculine and charming as a leopard. Every movement he made was filled with strength.
He was truly, unbelievably seductive!
Fang Xinxin watched him fixatedly and swallowed her saliva subconsciously.
As though sensing her gaze, Bai Qinghao¡¯s sharp eyes shifted onto her. He saw her slender figure beneath the sunlight and realized that her cheeks were bright red. Her expression also appeared especially love struck..
Chapter 807 - Building Shelter (Part 2)
Chapter 807: Building Shelter (Part 2)
He could not help emitting a small smirk as his sharp gaze became heated.
His hungry look left Fang Xinxin feeling especially bashful.
She wasn¡¯t sure if her cheeks had turned red from the way he was watching her, or due to the burning sun¡
The sunlight was bing especially hot. However, there weren¡¯t any big trees nearby and they could not escape from it.
She really hoped the shelter would bepleted sooner.
She picked up the shirt he had tossed onto the ground and headed back into the forest.
She wrapped the grass roots she had dug out earlier with his shirt and returned to his side. She poured them out onto the ground. ¡°Hubby, eat some grass roots.¡±
He nodded slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll eat after I¡¯m done with this.¡±
Fang Xinxin held his shirt and went to the nearby beach. She confirmed that there weren¡¯t any more shellfish like the ones Bai Qinghao previously collected.
Although there were some other colorful shellfish, she did not recognise them and naturally would not take them.
They were only left with a few fever reducing medicine and wound dressing medication. If they ate anything poisonous by ident, they would most definitely die.
She deliberated over it and decided to attempt fishing by the beach.
Unfortunately, she did not see a single fish in the water.
She stood on the beach and looked afar. Suddenly, she saw that there was a half submerged rock mountain around a kilometer away.
Perhaps there would be some fish there?
Fang Xinxin decided to walk there. She left faint footprints on the beach as she approached the rock mountain. As expected, there were a few average sized fishes swimming there.
However, she did not have a and could not fish them out.
She stepped into the water. When the water came up to her knees, she bent down and began flipping over the rocks in the sand.
After flipping through more than ten rocks, she discovered arge sea crab!
It had to weigh at least three hundred grams.
She immediately used her thumbs and middle fingers to pinch the sides of its shell to prevent its pincer from cutting her.
She took it out of water and wrapped it firmly in Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt.
She then bent down and continued searching. Soon, she had collected ten more sea crabs of simr sizes.
She lifted her chin and saw that the sun rays were bing even more lethal. For the sake of survival, she had given up all concerns about getting tanned. However, she was still worried about getting a heatstroke.
Besides, she had already collected enough for one meal.
There were plenty of crabs and little fish here. She would visit again to collect more food in the future.
She carried the crabs back to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Hubby, look what I¡¯ve found!¡±
She opened the bundle of cloth to show him.
When he saw the crabs, he immediately praised her. ¡°My wife is too capable.¡± But he frowned the next second. ¡°Don¡¯t do these things anymore. Leave them to me.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. I had nothing to do anyway.¡± She saw that he had already built the foundation for the shed with four pirs. Two sides of the walls were filled in and the tops of the pirs were strengthened to eventually hold up the roof.
On the groundid a rooftop made out of tree branches, weaved with leaves and grass. It was around two square meters wide and three square meters long.
Bai Qinghao lifted the entire roof by himself and stood on arge rock to hoist it onto the pirs he had built.
Fang Xinxin was amazed by his efficiency. It had only been half a day and he had actually built a shed that would provide them shelter from wind and rain.
This was extremely difficult to do without a knife or any tools. He had relied entirely on his hands to tie these branches, leaves and vines together.
She approached his side and tugged open his hands. She saw that his wide and firm palms were covered with blisters. There were countless small cuts on his skin. His body was also stained from sweat and dirt.
Her gaze was filled with heartache. However, there was nothing she could have done to prevent this..
Chapter 808 - Learning To Make The Best Of The Situation
Chapter 808: Learning To Make The Best Of The Situation
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
They needed something to protect them from the rain and the wind. Otherwise, an abrupt rainstorm or an especially chilly night would leave them both ill.
It wasn¡¯t just about bing each other¡¯s burden. They were also afraid they would both die on this ind.
Bai Qinghao attached the roof firmly onto the pirs with rattan. He then pressed his palms against the structure to ensure that it was stable before finally rxing.
Fang Xinxin dug the first aid kit out and brought it over. She tore out one of her sleeves to use as a towel.
She opened the first aid kit to reveal the water he had collected today. They had drunk some of it earlier and around four hundred millimeters was still remaining.
She carefully poured some out to dampen the ¡®towel¡¯. She first wiped his wounds clean carefully before wiping his face.
She dampened the towel repeatedly and wiped all the stains off his skin.
A damp towel couldn¡¯t remove all the dirt. However, it would at least relieve some of his difort.
Furthermore¡
He had mysophobia.
Thankfully, he was only insistent about when they were at home, now that they were trapped outside¡
It was enough that they survived.
It was already 3:00 in the afternoon.
She retrieved some of the wound dressing medicine they had saved and applied it onto his cuts.
She then brought the pile of grass roots she had collected over. They sat down and opened up the bundle of crabs she had caught.
The eleven sea crabs were still alive.
¡°It¡¯s time for lunch. Quickly eat.¡± She urged him in heartache and skillfully picked up a sea crab and handed it to him.
Bai Qinghao copied her actions. He carefully avoided the pincers and broke off a w before offering it to her.
She received it happily and began to suck on the flesh. Although it was a little fishy, the taste was extremely sweet. ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡±
This was much better than the raw fish and raw seagull meat!
The crabs were nearly 1.5 kilograms in weight in total. They were also very fresh. After sharing the crabs, both of them were quite full.
As they were very thirsty, they shared the grass roots and drank some of the water from the first aid kit.
Just like that, they had a ¡®delicious¡¯ meal.
Fang Xinxin nced at the first aid kit. They only had around fifty millimeters of water left.
It was really too little.
She had wanted to save up more water. However, the sun was bright and they were really thirsty. Considering that the temperature would be cooler in the evening, they decided that it would be better to drink less at night.
Their hunger was satiated while their thirst was barely quenched.
They rested in the shed for around an hour. As the sunlight grew weaker, Fang Xinxin stood up to look for dinner.
¡°My wife, you should rest. I can go.¡± Bai Qinghao picked up his shirt and headed for the area where she had found the crabs earlier.
Fang Xinxin did not stop him as his wounds had mostly healed.
He had embraced her for a long timest night and even built a shed this morning. It was clear that he had recovered significantly and was doing pretty well.
She did not sit idly. Instead, she brought the pile of bamboo she had found earlier and used the surgical knife to cut them into thin slices.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt was already very worn down. If they used it anymore, soon, he wouldn¡¯t be able to wear it again.
They really needed a basket.
Although she worried that the knife would turn blunt, she could not slice the bamboo any other way. Thus, she could only rely on this knife.
She paid attention not to cut herself and over the time, her movements became smoother.
The ground was soon covered in a pile of bamboo strips of varying sizes.
Fang Xinxin had previously watched a video about making slippers with bamboo strips. As of now, both their phones were likely at the bottom of the ocean..
Chapter 809 - Make A Fire
Chapter 809: Make A Fire
At the time, she had only skimmed through the video and vaguely learned the steps.
In truth, she did not know how to weave slippers.
Now that the bamboo strips were prepared, she attempted to weave them based on however much she could remember from the video. She made a lot of mistakes and had to undo the weaving several times¡
By the time Bai Qinghao returned, the sun had already set and Fang Xinxin hadpleted a bamboo basket.
A hint of admiration shed past his eyes. ¡°My wife, how many more surprises do you have for me?¡±
She lifted her brows. ¡°You¡¯re surprised just like that?¡±
She sighed twice.
He ced the pile of crabs down and watched her in heartache. ¡°Why did you sigh?¡±
Was it because she hadnded on an uninhabited ind with him and had grown sick of the poor living conditions here?
He needed to take her away from this ce!
She smiled. ¡°You¡¯re a CEO with billions in wealth yet you praised a small basket of mine. This basket is so ugly. It can only be used to carry items. If another woman managed toe up with something more beautiful, wouldn¡¯t you be¡¡±
It turned out that she had sighed over his praise. He caressed her long hair lovingly. ¡°There isn¡¯t anyone else here. But even if there were others, I wouldn¡¯t take a single nce at them.¡±
She lifted her chin and took in his stern features. His gaze was serious and he did not seem to be joking in the slightest.
Fang Xinxin understood his feelings all too well. She was deeply moved and nodded.
¡°Wait for me here.¡± Bai Qinghao stood up and left the shed. He headed into the forest.
¡°Don¡¯t go too far,¡± She raised her voice to say. It was getting dark and it wasn¡¯t safe to go into the forest.
Even if he was sufficiently alert and well-trained, she could not help but worry.
When the sky waspletely dark, Bai Qinghao returned with an enormous, dried tree trunk and arge rock. He tossed them outside the shed.
Soon after, he brought several tree branches and a bunch of dried grass into the shed.
Fang Xinxin watched as he searched for several rocks nearby. Heid them on the ground, twenty centimeters apart to make a simple fire pit. He then ced the twigs and dried grass which he had found in the center of the fire pit.
Finally, he picked a rtively big branch and ced it in the center. He dug a hole with the surgical knife and inserted another branch into it.
He then twisted the twig between his palms, causing it to rub against the branch it was lodged into.
He gradually increased his strength as he did so.
Fang Xinxin watched his actions and btedly realized that he was attempting to make fire!
It was a pity that it was extremely difficult to produce fire with this method.
He spent nearly thirty minutes but could not ignite a single spark.
She saw that his palms were covered in blisters and could not help but speak up in heartache. ¡°Hubby, forget it. It¡¯s cold in the evening and it¡¯s difficult to make a fire. Why don¡¯t we try again tomorrow afternoon? It¡¯ll be much easier when the weather is hot.¡±
¡°It¡¯s precisely because it¡¯s cold in the evening that we have to make a fire now.¡± He did not give up and continued persisting without a change in expression. It was as though he could not feel the pain in his palms.
She understood that he was stubborn and did not persuade him any further.
He nced at her in pain. ¡°My wife, you should eat the crabs raw first. It¡¯ll be veryte if we wait to cook the food.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± She shook her head. ¡°If there¡¯s fire, I would prefer to eat the food when it¡¯s cooked. I don¡¯t wish to eat anything raw again.¡±
¡°Wait a little while longer, then.¡± He understood that it wasn¡¯t good for her to eat too much raw food as the food could contain bacteria.
It would be troublesome if they fell sick. They only did it due to theck of options previously.. Now, however, he would not allow his wife to eat any more raw food besides fruits and vegetables!

Fang Xinxin dearly wished that a lighter would appear out of nowhere at this moment.
It was too difficult to create a fire with wood.
It was a pity that they truly did not have ess to any other tools.
Around an hourter, with Bai Qinghao¡¯s persistent effort, sparks finally formed from the tree branches and the dried leaves began to burn.
¡°This is amazing! We finally have a fire!¡± The joy on her face was in to see.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s brows rxed. He immediately added the withered grass he had collected earlier into the firepit. As the fire grew stronger, he added some thin branches and finally some thicker firewood¡
Fang Xinxin watched his actions closely. She knew that he was well-trained in outdoor survival skills.
Through her past life, she had learned that all hisbat skills and gun skills were obtained through real life experience and proper training.
Thus, he was able to remainposed on an uninhabited ind like this. He was unflustered as he did what they needed to survive.
She nced at the pile of thick tree branches outside the shed. It would be sufficient to keep the fire burning till midnight.
If they carefully rationed it, the fire could evenst through the night.
Most importantly, with a fire, they could cook now.
Fang Xinxin nced at therge rock he had previously found. It had arge dip in the center. He had clearly intended to use it as a wok.
It was a pity that they still could not cook without water.
Both of them were well-educated and understood that seawater contained too many minerals and salt. Eating food cooked with seawater would affect their health and in rare cases, it could even poison them.
In other words, they could only use drinkable water to cook.
However, they had yet to locate any water sources within a kilometer from where they were.
Both of them relied on the water they collected every morning to keep themselves hydrated. They absolutely could not use it to cook.
Fang Xinxin sighed internally. She knew that Bai Qinghao wanted to give her the best and hoped he would not be upset.
She smiled and said, ¡°Hubby, have you ever had barbecued sea crabs?¡±
Bai Qinghao was also troubled by theck of water. Since young, he had been trained by the best of the best. Thus, his survival skills andbat skills were very good.
Considering his unique status, he would not have survived till this day if it were not for his abilities.
He did not mind the current, difficult conditions. As long as he was with Xinxin, he felt that he would always be happy.
However, he truly could not bear to put her through any sufferings.
He watched as she smiled beautifully and was smart enough to realize that she was intentionally putting on an act to stop him from worrying.
He swore that he would improve their living conditions tomorrow.
¡°No.¡± He shook his head. He truly never had barbequed sea crabs in the past.
¡°In that case, we¡¯re in luck tonight.¡± She found several long branches from the pile and pierced them through the crabs. She then ced it in the fire pit to cook.
Bai Qinghao saw that it wasn¡¯t easy for her to pierce the branches through the crabs. Thus, he quickly fastened several long branches to the top of the firepit. This way, a makeshift barbeque grill was formed.
When roasting the food, they only needed to pile the food on top of the grill. This would save a lot of energy.
Unlike most food, crabs only needed around ten minutes to cook.
The originally translucent crabs had turned red and the sweet scent of freshly cooked seafood filled the air. It stirred their appetites..

Chapter 811: Settling In
Bai Qinghao retrieved thergest crab and ced it on tworge leaves. He then opened the shell and removed all the meat, handing it over to Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin did not stand on ceremony and immediately epted it. She bit down on the crab¡¯s meat. ¡°It¡¯s so good! I¡¯m so happy! After so many days of eating raw food, we can finally have cooked food!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart rippled.
This was his wife. After drifting through the ocean for so many days and finally findingnd, a simple meal of cooked food alone left her this satisfied.
She wasn¡¯t interested in wealth. She was stunningly beautiful with an amazing figure. She had special abilities and was a star student from a famous school. She was even a world famous designer and was worth billions¡
He knew all her strong points by heart. His eyes were filled with love as he watched her. ¡°Eat slowly. Be careful not to burn yourself.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded., ¡°Hubby, you have to eat too. It¡¯s really good!¡±
He nodded.
The barbequed crab meat was very fragrant and sweet. Although it was a little dry and could not bepared to steamed or boiled crabs, to the two of them, cooked food was unbelievably delicious right now!
The two of them ate arge pile of barbequed sea crabs just like that.
Thankfully, the crab meat itself contained some moisture and it was alright for them not to drink any water.
After finishing their meal, they sat by the fire and chatted idly. Every so often, they would add some wood into the fire pit.
They discussed their current circumstance; it had been eleven days. The Bai family¡¯s people had yet to find them.
They were certain that the Bai family¡¯s people were searching for them. However, they could only rely on boats and airnes. If they did not know their exact location and had failed to find them within hours of the ident, or if they had searched in the wrong direction, their rescue efforts would most likely be futile.
Furthermore, the two of them had drifted for ten days before finally locatingnd.
Looking for them was akin to searching for a needle in the haystack.
Several years ago, when an airne had exploded andnded in the ocean, despite the efforts of several countries, the ne¡¯s remains were never located.
Simply put, it was nearly impossible for the two of them to be rescued.
Based on their observations, this ind appeared to be uninhabited.
They could only pray that a boat or a fisherman would pass by and help them.
Hopefully, a boat would appear soon¡
Fang Xinxin prayed internally.
Both of them had drifted for many days and suffered a lot of surface wounds. They needed to recover properly.
Furthermore, the hunger and thirst they had been enduring, as well as Bai Qinghao¡¯s wounds, left them extremely weak.
It hadn¡¯t been easy for them to findnd.
They decided to remain here temporarily for a few days until their bodies recovered.
On this night, they had a firepit keeping them warm and afortable shed to sleep in. The hill behind them blocked off the cold sea breeze.
They did not feel cold.
Their surroundings were quiet and dark. If it wasn¡¯t for the fire, they would struggle to even see their own fingers.
Perhaps it was because they were with the person they loved. They both felt very content and were not lonely in the slightest.
At around 10:00 p.m., Bai Qinghao headed out of the shed.
Fang Xinxin was nervous as she asked. ¡°Hubby, where are you going?¡±
It was pitch ck outside. It would be extremely dangerous if he met with a venomous snake or a poisonous insect in the forest.
¡°I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s figure disappeared into the dark.
Around ten minutester, he returned with arge pile of dried grass. ¡°I found this in the morning when I was building the shed. I was too busy to bring it back at the time, but I think we can use it now..¡±

She immediately understood. ¡°We cany on it when we sleep.¡±
¡°En.¡± He nodded. ¡°Sleeping on the ground was too cold and hardst night. With this, it¡¯ll be a little morefortable.¡±
Due to their intimate posturest night, they were still covered in sweat till now.
She was deeply moved by his thoughtfulness.
This man was always trying to make her life a little happier.
Bai Qinghao moved the firepit to the side to reveal the warm ground beneath it. He thenid the dried grass on top of it to form a makeshift bed.
He had wanted to ce his shirt on top of the grass to keep it from pricking them.
However, his shirt was previously used to contain the sea crabs and was now both dirty and smelly. It could not be used until they washed it.
Fang Xinxinid down on the dried grass. The ground was still warm from the fire.
Although the dried grass was a little prickly and itchy,pared tost night¡¯s freezing conditions, it was much morefortable.
The temperature on this ind contrasted significantly between day and night. In the day, it was hot enough to kill someone while at night, it was freezing cold.
It was almost like they were living in a desert.
The fire was shifted one meter away from them and it continued burning.
Fang Xinxin was exhausted from the day and was extremely drowsy. ¡°Hubby, you should sleep too. Don¡¯t forget to save the fire.¡±
This way, they wouldn¡¯t have to rely on rubbing pieces of wood together when they wanted to start another fire.
She wanted to ask if he knew how to when he responded. ¡°Alright.¡±
His answer indicated that he did. She finally fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Qinghao dug a small hole next to the fire pit. He smashed some of the firewood that had turned white from burning into smaller pieces and pushed them into the hole.
He covered it with ayer of ash. This way, the fire tinder was saved.
In order to stay warm, he kept the fire going.
Afterpleting all of this, Bai Qinghao eventually went to Fang Xinxin¡¯s side. His injuries had yet to fully recover and the entire day of hard work had also left him exhausted.
He eventually fell asleep.
Both of them were too exhausted to do anything but sleep on this night.
Later in the night, the fire quietly died. The two of them were once again cold and had to embrace each other to stay warm.
With the remaining warmth from the fire, it wasn¡¯t as ufortable as the previous night.
Early in the morning, Bai Qinghao woke up.
He lifted his wrist to check the time. It was 5:00 in the morning.
He had slept for around seven hours. As he was used to sleeping very little, this was more than enough for him.
He looked at Fang Xinxin, who was still in deep sleep in his arms. Her features were stunning. Although her skin had gotten darker, it remained as soft and clear as ever.
His heart was filled with love for her.
He wanted to watch her forever. However, he needed to leave to collect morning dew.
Otherwise, they would die of thirst without any drinking water.
He moved quietly as he carried the first aid kit and headed towards a humid area near the sea. He relied on the surgical knife and his watch to collect water the same way he did yesterday.
Five hundred grams of water was really insufficient for one day.
Bai Qinghao carried the three empty bottles to collect morning dew.
The three bottles were especially small. Two of them could only take in one hundred grams of water each, while therger bottle which had earlier contained rubbing alcohol could hold three hundred grams of water. In all, it would only be sufficient for another five hundred grams of water..
Chapter 813 - Dew Water
Chapter 813: Dew Water
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
He busied himself till it was past seven. By the time the sun was out and most of the dew water evaporated, Bai Qinghao had collected around one kilogram of dew water.
After filling up the bottles, he had emptied them into the first aid kit before collecting more.
Combined with the water in the first aid kit, they now had 1.5 kilograms of water.
This would be somewhat sufficient tost them through the day.
At the very least, it was much better than what they had yesterday.
After collecting the water, he brought the first aid kit back to the shed. He nned to head to the beach to collect more crabs.
However, he saw that Fang Xinxin had already woken up. She had re-started the fire and even steamed some crabs. The freshly steamed crabs were arranged neatly on arge leaf.
This time, the crabs were not barbecued but steamed!
In fact, Fang Xinxin had also awoken when Bai Qinghao got up.
She couldn¡¯t possibly continue sleeping when her husband was busy, could she?
Well, actually, she could.
However, she was well-rested. Thus, when she saw that he had gone to collect dew water, she headed back to the beach to catch some sea crabs.
This time, she did not use his shirt. Instead, she used the bamboo basket she had made yesterday. She spent around two hours filling the basket up with sea crabs.
By the time she returned to their shed, the fire fromst night had already burnt out.
However, she was not worried. At most, they would look for more wood to restart the fire.
Thankfully, after pushing aside the ash, she found that there were still sparks in the fire tinder saved fromst night.
She immediately ced a pile of dried grass and branches on top of it. She blew against the sparks and gradually, the leaves caught fire.
Slowly, she added more branches and firewood.
She arranged the stones which Bai Qinghao had usedst night around it to form a new firepit. She then used thergest rock as a wok.
Therge rock took thirty minutes before it was hot enough to cook.
Although the sea water could not be used to boil food, it could still be used to steam.
Thus, she picked arge leaf and folded it into a makeshift bowl. She then poured the sea water into the wok.
After that, she arranged the tree branches on top of the wok to make a simple steaming rack.
She ced the crabs on the steaming rack and as the seawater began to boil, the steam from it slowly cooked the crabs.
If they had been at home, the crabs would have been ready in fifteen minutes.
However, they did not have a lid for this wok. This steam escaped quickly and the crabs took nearly forty minutes to cook.
She also ced a pile of crabs around the fire and barbequed them.
When Bai Qinghao returned, four of the crabs were steamed while the rest were barbecued.
When she saw him, she immediately smiled. ¡°Hubby,e have breakfast!¡±
Bai Qinghao had thought that it would take him three hours to catch the crabs and start another fire.
He did not expect his wife to have done it all by herself when he returned.
He was deeply moved. However, his heart also ached for her.
He approached her side quickly without pausing to nce at the food. He tugged her hands over and checked that they were not injured before rxing.
He was worried that the tinders had extinguished and she had to start the fire by hand. If she did so, she would most definitely have hurt her hands.
Thankfully, it seemed like the tinders fromst night were well-preserved.
Fang Xinxin opened the first aid kit and was astonished. ¡°Why is there so much dew water today?¡±

It was obvious that the surgical knife and watch alone could only help them collect around five hundred grams of water regardless of how humid the ce was.
He had to have collected the remaining, drop by drop from the forest.
The two of them went ahead and had a delicious meal of crabs.
However, crabs belonged to the cold variety of food. It wasn¡¯t good to always eat them.
The sun was hot in the day and there was no need for a fire.
Thus, they preserved the tinders carefully.
Bai Qinghao left for the forest to collect some firewood. As they did not have any food reserves, he decided to also look for food.
This time, he headed deeper into the forest.
Fang Xinxin instructed him to be careful before he left. She remained near the shed to collect slim bamboo poles and long leaves.
She used the surgical knife to slice the bamboo thinly. She then attempted to make a basket which they could carry on their backs. With yesterday¡¯s experience, her movements were much smoother.
She even tried to make a pair of straw slippers. She chose a thin and long piece of dried grass and weaved it through the small hole she had left on the sole. She then split the end into two.
She made several attempts based on the video she had seen in the past and finally made a pair of slippers for herself.
Her feet were scratched up from all the walking she did and that left Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart aching dearly.
The first pair of slippers were rather ugly. However, she picked things up quickly and was soon able to make a nicer pair of slippers for Bai Qinghao.
She lifted her head towards the sky and guessed that it was past 12:00 in the afternoon.
Why wasn¡¯t Bai Qinghao back yet?
She could not help but worry. She regretted not going with him.
However, he did not wish for her to be too tired and insisted that she rest in the shed.
Thus, she could only mess with these things.
Although they agreed he would return with food, she could not sit and wait.
She brought Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt and the basket she had made to the beach which was around a kilometer away. As she approached the rock mountain, this time, she did not search for crabs. Instead, she submerged the basket into the water. There were groups of small fish swimming there.
However, each one of them was only the size of a finger.
She had been eyeing these fish for a while.
She ced some of the raw crab meat from earlier into the basket as bait. Very quickly, arge group of fish swam into the basket. She then lifted the basket out of the water with one smooth movement.
As the water drained out of the basket, countless small fishes were left wriggling in it. She then poured the fish into the shirt.
She repeated this several times until the shirt was filled up. She was lucky enough to also catch several big fishes.
She then searched through the rocks and caught two more crabs before returning.
She took a few steps and paused to look at the rock cliff at the end of the beach. It was around twenty meters tall and was naturally formed withrge rocks. It was possible to climb a cliff like that.
She suddenly felt the urge to stand on it to see what the entire ind looked like from that height.
She ced the two crabs into the shirt and tied it tightly with dried grass. She then ced the bundle into the basket.
She carried the basket on her back as she climbed her way up.
She had made the strap of the basket by cutting the sleeves of her shirt and slicing them into thin strips. Thus, her shirt had be sleeveless.
Her body had recovered significantly. With the use of her special powers, though it was difficult, she still managed to climb her way up the cliff.
She stood on top of the cliff and realized that the ind was surrounded by the seemingly boundless ocean.

The ind was especially big. The further she looked into the ind, the thicker the forest appeared to be. She could not see where the woods ended.
There were no signs of any other humans as well.
This was a proper, uninhabited ind.
To the side of this ind, there was a smaller beach.
It seemed like there were a lot of edible shellfish there. Furthermore, there were ck and white creatures wriggling on the sand.
They were sea snakes!
She counted at least thirty sea snakes. The sight of them left Fang Xinxin¡¯s scalp prickling. At the same time, she was very excited.
For the past few days, she had drunk and eaten enough. She also slept well and was now wearing a pair of straw slippers. She was much morefortable than when she had been barefooted.
Even the surface wounds she suffered from drifting in the ocean had recovered.
Sea snakes were venomous. If anyone else had seen this many sea snakes, they would most certainly have run away.
Fang Xinxin, however, began to climb down the cliff in excitement. She stood by the beach and brought out the surgical knife, approaching the snakes. Her gaze was cold as she concentrated and activated her special abilities,
The knife flew through the air and smoothly cut off one sea snake¡¯s head.
As her gaze turned frigid once more, another sea snake was killed.
She repeated this over and over. Soon, all the sea snakes were killed. Their bodies continued wriggling on the beach despite the fact that they were dead.
She first headed to the forest nearby to look for leaves. She arranged ayer of leaves on the inside of the basket before returning to the beach with arge tree branch in her hands.
By then, all the sea snakes had stopped squirming. They remained unmoving on the beach.
She held the cloth bundle in her hand and used the tree branch to test the sand. She saw that there were vague movements beneath her feet.
As expected, a sea snake poked its head out from beneath the sandy surface. She immediately used the surgical knife and sliced its head off.
When picking up their bodies, she used arge leaf to do so.
Very quickly, she collected all the sea snakes. There were 32 of them. The number was just enough to fill up the entire basket.
Although she could have activated her special powers to levitate the bodies into the basket, such a move would overexert her strength. Thus, she decided to pick them up by hand to save some strength.
She did not climb up the rock cliff again. Instead, she went into the forest and went around the cliff. After turning left, she could return to the shed she shared with Bai Qinghao.
The moment she stepped into the forest, she heard Bai Qinghao shouting urgently. ¡°Xinxin!¡±
¡°My wife! Where are you?¡±
His voice was panicked and slightly hoarse. It was clear that he had been looking for her for some time.
¡°Hubby, I¡¯m here!¡± She responded loudly.
Very quickly, Bai Qinghao pushed aside the underbrush in his way and headed towards her. The moment he saw her, he rushed towards her and embraced her.
He was much taller than her and immediately saw the basket full of sea snakes which she was carrying on her back. Worry shed past his eyes. He rushed to check her from head to toe. ¡°My wife, are you alright? Did you get bitten?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She shook her head. ¡°I was very careful. I used my powers to control the knife and to slice off their heads.¡±
He finally rxed after hearing her response. ¡°Next time, leave these matters to me.¡±
He took the basket and the cloth bundle from her.
She instantly felt much lighter.
The two of them returned to their shed.
She pointed in the direction of the beach she had been at earlier. ¡°Hubby, there are a lot of sea snakes over there. I¡¯m sure we will find more the next time we go. There are also a lot of shellfish there. We don¡¯t have to worry about food anymore..¡±

He nodded lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t do these things in the future. Leave them all to me.¡±
¡°What am I supposed to do then?¡±
¡°You can stand by the beach and enjoy the breeze. Go look at the scenery.¡±
¡°¡¡± She smiled. Any other man would have been overjoyed to have her help at a time like this. Yet, he could not bear to make her work. ¡°I¡¯ll fall ill if I¡¯m too free. I¡¯ll do the easier chores.¡±
He took in her sunburnt, reddened cheeks with heartache. ¡°Don¡¯t do any chores. Be obedient.¡±
She did not argue with him.
He spoke up in difort. ¡°Do you know how worried I was when I returned to see that you weren¡¯t there?¡±
She fell silent. He had found her when she was still a distance away from the shed. He had to have spent a long time looking for her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I got too excited at the sight of so much food that I forgot about the time.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve made you suffer.¡± Bai Qinghao thought of their current circumstances and could only sigh helplessly.
It seemed like they could not rely on a passing boat. After resting for a few more days, they would have toe up with ways to leave this ce themselves.
The two of them returned to their shed. Fang Xinxin saw that there were tworge piles of fire food there as well as two wild chickens.
¡°Wow, chickens!¡± She said happily, ¡°This willst us days.¡±
¡°My wife, look at this!¡± Bai Qinghao brought a basket out from behind the pile of firewood and handed it to her.
She saw that the basket was filled with green mangoes. Her eyes lit up with surprise. ¡°These are mangoes!¡±
She immediately picked one up and peeled off its skin to bite into it.
It was a pity that the mangoes here were sour and hard. They were not ripe yet and tasted very bad. Still, she ate it all without wasting any.
She was overjoyed that they had fruits to eat. Only God knew how much she missed the taste of fruits.
Bai Qinghao was upset by this. ¡°My wife, I¡¯ve really made you suffer.¡±
She did not mind it though. ¡°It¡¯s enough that we don¡¯t have to starve on an ind like this.¡±
After her first life, she had decided she would take things as they came here.
As long as they were happily in love, there was nothing worth being upset over.
Bai Qinghao ced the basket down and picked up a sea snake. He skinned it and sliced it¡¯s meat into long strips. He then ced the pieces on arge leaf and made skewers with tree branches.
He then retrieved the fire tinders and started another fire.
The two of them had a delicious meal of barbecued sea snakes.
The scent of barbequed sea snakes filled the air. Fang Xinxin drizzled the meat with some fresh mango juice. This way, the meat was seasoned with a sour and sweet taste.
After their meal, they began to busy themselves again.
Bai Qinghao took the surgical knife from Fang Xinxin. Although they had shared a meal, the basket remained filled to the brim. He visited the beach nearby and skinned all the remaining sea snakes. He then sliced the meat up.
He made a simple rack with wood and hung the meat up with grass. This way, the meat they could not finish in time would air dry.
This would prevent the meat from spoiling.
Fang Xinxin was also busy. She sliced up all the fish and removed their guts.
Therger fishes could be barbecued while the smaller ones could be used to make soup.
The fish¡¯s guts were very bitter. Thus, she needed to remove all of them.
Due to the hot weather, the fish would begin spoiling in a matter of hours.
Thus, she simrly hung all the clean fish up to dry.
It was a pity that they didn¡¯t have any salt. Otherwise, fermenting these meat with salt would make them taste much better.
They also did not have any salt for the snake meat they were putting to dry..

Chapter 817: Salt Field
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
One could fall sick without consuming sufficient salt. Thankfully, the ocean was a treasure trove and it was more than easy to obtain some salt.
If she had enough time, she would make a salt field. She could obtain as much salt as she wanted from the ocean.
However, neither of them nned on remaining on this ind for too long.
At the moment, they were only intending to recover their minds and bodies here.
She arranged the fish to dry on a piece of rock, while Bai Qinghao finished hanging the sea snakes up on the rack. He ced all the skin aside and headed afar to dig a hole.
She watched as Bai Qinghao left the rack aside and headed near the beach to dig a hole with a thick tree branch.
Fang Xinxin immediately understood that he was trying to obtain some salt.
She wanted to help him. However, the sun was extremely bright and she did not wish to be tanned even more. It was easy to make a salt field and it was more than enough for him to handle it alone.
She was exhausted from killing all the sea snakes earlier. Thus, she rested in the shed.
The sand was very soft. In around two hours, he had dug a salt field around the size of five square meters.
The ocean¡¯s waves were powerful. They crashed against the sand and gradually filled up the salt field he had dug. The waves receded into the ocean soon.
In this manner, the salt field was filled up with seawater.
Once the sunlight dried up the moisture in the salt field, they would obtain the rough sea salt.
However, it would take time for the sea water to dry up.
The salt field wasn¡¯t too deep. The sunlight was also very bright. Perhaps they would be able to obtain salt in a day¡¯s time.
Bai Qinghao returned to see his wife standing by the shed. She was watching him.
He smiled gently.
Fang Xinxin saw that he was covered in sweat. When he approached, she realized that he smelled strongly of the sea snake¡¯s fishy scent.
Although she hadyered the basket with leaves, it also smelled extremely fishy at the moment.
However, they did not have any pure water they could use to shower with.
As evening approached and the sun began to set, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao headed to the shallow waters to wash up.
They could feel the sea salt remaining on their skin after. This wasn¡¯t good for their skin.
However, it hadn¡¯t been easy for them to collect dew water. They only had enough to drink and could not use it to shower.
They could not bear to even use a little to wipe themselves down.
They also soaked the basket and his shirt in the ocean to remove the fishy scent.
A whileter, they retrieved the basket and opened up his shirt. They scrubbed it well before bringing it back to the shed.
The temperature was starting to drop again. It was always especially cold at night.
They ced the half-dried fish and sea snakes in the basket and brought it back to the shed with them.
They weren¡¯t afraid of the cold anymore. Bai Qinghao had collected enough firefood tost them days.
The two of them sat by the fire. They had built a rack next to the fire and hung up all the sea snake meat so that it could slowly dry up from the heat of the fire.
The fish were also arranged on top of leaves on the ground. Soon, the moisture would evaporate and they would be preserved dried fishes that couldst them for a while.
In the evening, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin did not have anything to do besides asionally adding some wood to the fire.
Although the day had tired them out, Bai Qinghao was still full of energy.
He felt that they could perhaps do something before sleeping.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. She had grown much thinner. Still, her figure was curvaceous and attractive. Her shirt was now sleeveless and her thin arms were showing. The tan gave her a beautiful, healthy look and it left his heart aching dearly.
Despite her sun darkened skin, she remained as charming as ever to him.

Fang Xinxin noticed his heated gaze and looked away with a blush.
She coincidentally noticed the two wild chickens hanging on the rack. They had been cleaned up and their feathers had been plucked.
She could not help but be curious. ¡°Hubby, how did you catch the wild chickens?¡±
Normally speaking, wild chickens tended to react fast. It was very difficult to catch them, no matter how skilled one was.
However, he had managed to catch two while he had been collecting firewood.
¡°I first dug a few holes and caught a few worms as bait. I waited for the wild chickens to fall into the trap before covering the holes with lids made from tree branches. I was lucky enough to catch two.¡± Although he answered her question, he also brought her into his arms.¡±This isn¡¯t the time to ask such questions.¡±
He watched her lovingly. ¡°Don¡¯t you think we have more important things to do right now?¡±
She understood his meaning and blushed again.
As the night grew deeper, the fire remained burning. It added warmth to the frigid night.
The two of them embraced each other intimately.
The next morning, the two of them collected morning dew together. They were able to fill the first aid kit with 2.5 kilograms of water.
That was more than enough drinking water for them. They could even use around five hundred millimeters of water to cook sea snake soup.
They also had more food now. The food they collected yesterday couldst them days.
Furthermore, even if they finished everything, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to collect more.
Right now, they desperately wanted to take a shower.
Their clothes also needed to be washed. They could feel the salt particles on the surface of the fabric and it left them feeling ufortable.
Both of them hoped it would rain soon.
However, the more they hope for something, the less things would go their way. Each day, the sun remained burning hot. There wasn¡¯t the slightest sign of rain.
They had more than enough food for the time being. The ind was also abundant withrge banana leaves. Bai Qinghao spent a day digging five holes beneath shaded trees. He then arranged ayer of banana leaves in it. He hoped to be able to collect some rain water if it rained.
He then found tworge rocks with dips in the center. He ced them outside the shed hoping they would fulfill the same purpose.
Fang Xinxin weaved more baskets in the shed. She also made more straw slippers for Bai Qinghao and herself.
She did not leave the shed to work anymore. She wanted to regain her fair skin.
All the work to preserve their food was left to Bai Qinghao.
It was another evening. Bai Qinghao returned from the salt field with a basket of coarse sea salt.
The coase sea salt contained a lot of mineral particles. They needed to filter it before they could consume it.
Fang Xinxin sliced off the bottom of a bottle with the surgical knife. It then became a hollow funnel. She filled the funnel with sand, mud and ash to make a simple filter.
She sliced a small fabric from Bai Qinghao¡¯s clothes and tied it to the mouth of the bottle with rattan.
She mixed the coarse salt with a small amount of pure water and filtered it through the funnel.
They repeated this several times until the filtered water was clear. All the minerals were removed from the coase salt and it eventually became table salt.
As they needed to save up on their drinking water, they only made sufficient salt to have everyday.
When cooking the snake meat, dried fish and dried chicken, they were able to make it taste much better with a small amount of sun.
After a few days, as Fang Xinxin had paid attention to stay away from the sun, her skin became much fairer.. The rough skin texture due to drifting in the water had also recovered and her skin was once again soft and smooth.
Chapter 819 - Someone Else Is Here
Chapter 819: Someone Else Is Here
As for Bai Qinghao, his fair skin had be especially dark after working day after day.
Fang Xinxin attempted to help him on many asions but he always made her stop.
It had been more than ten days since the both of them arrived on this ind. During this period, they did not see any boats. Even the skies above remained clear, without any nes passing by.
They analyzed the current circumstances and felt that there was no hope in waiting for rescue.
Thankfully, Bai Qinghao appeared to have made full recovery from his wounds.
In the past ten days, they had collected a good amount of dried fish and dried sea snake meat. They also had a packet of filtered table salt.
The dew water they collected each day was used for drinking and cooking. Whatever they had left would be used to wipe themselves down.
There wasn¡¯t any extra water to shower with.
It was neary autumn and the temperature contrast between day and night was worsening.
Within two kilometers distance, they could asionally catch a few wild chickens and pick some wild fruits. There were no other animals within sight.
It was impossible to hunt for animals and use their hide to make clothes.
If they remained on this ind, when winter arrived, they would freeze to death without any proper clothing.
This morning, they collected the dew water and had breakfast. Bai Qinghao nned to head deep into the forest to look for other animals. Fang Xinxin could not help but worry and decided to apany him.
Bai Qinghao was wearing his worn dress shirt and carried a basket on his back. It contained the first aid kit with their water supply.
He held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand, leading her deeper into the forest.
Initially, the forest wasn¡¯t especially thick. As they made their way deeper however, they had to push through more and more overgrown bushes and trees. After walking around two kilometers, the thick forestpletely covered the azure sky and made it difficult for them to see ahead of themselves.
They both held thick branches in their hands and used them to push the thick bushes aside. They also carved signs onto nearby trees with rocks to help them on their way back.
The further they went, the more poisonous insects and mosquitoes they found.
It seemed like they could not go any further. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
Just as they were about to give up on this adventure, they noticed that someone appeared to beying beneath arge tree ahead.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao did not approach the person. From twenty meters away, they could see that it was not a living person beneath the tree. It was a rotting corpse.
The corpse was turning brown and the person¡¯s face was no longer recognisable. He appeared to be wearing a pair of brown khakis. There was also a basket and a hatchet by his side.
A hint of excitement shed past Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Hubby, could it be that there are other inhabitants on this ind?¡±
¡°That¡¯s possible.¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his sharp eyes. ¡°In that case, there¡¯s hope for us.¡±
¡°You say, was this man an inhabitant on this ind or did he end up drifting onto this ce like we did?¡± Fang Xinxin frowned to ask.
¡°He must have been living on this ind.¡± Bai Qinghao nced at the hatchet by the corpse. ¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have had a hatchet with him.¡±
They did not approach the corpse. It was covered with arge amount of flies and poisonous insects. It would be troublesome if they were poisoned.
¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared deep in thoughts as she nced at the thick forest ahead.
There were knife carvings on the trees nearby. ¡°Look at the markings on those trees. They appear to be made from the same de. It seems like this person made them when he was alive. He must have been trying to keep himself from getting lost..¡±

¡°It seems like we shouldn¡¯t proceed further into the forest.¡± Bai Qinghao was also thinking over this matter. ¡°The mist around the forest ahead hasn¡¯t dissipated despite the hot sun. It seems like this isn¡¯t a regr mist. It contains poison. This person must have died from inhaling the poisonous mist.¡±
Fang Xinxin scanned their surroundings. ¡°In that case, perhaps we should head to the other side of the ind. There may be inhabitants there.¡±
Bai Qinghao nodded. ¡°This is someone who lived on the ind. Even a ¡®local¡¯ died. We can¡¯t take the risk of breathing in the mist.¡± He deliberated over it. ¡°We can make a raft from bamboo and travel along the outskirts of the ind for a look.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Xinxin agreed.
¡°We¡¯ll have to cut a lot of bamboo then.¡± Bai Qinghao nced at the hatchet neary the corpse. He instructed Fang Xinxin. ¡°My wife, take a few steps back. I¡¯ll go retrieve the hatchet.¡±
There was no need for the basket. They had one themselves.
Fang Xinxin took a few steps back and reminded him. ¡°Hubby, you have to be careful.¡±
He nodded and picked up a tree branch with a lot of leaves on it. He slowly and quietly approached the corpse, using the branch to wave away any insects that flew near him.
Once he got close enough, he bent down to pick up the hatchet.
His movements appeared to startle the insects on the corpse.
The crowd of poisonous worms on the corpse began to wriggle frantically, while the flies swarmed upwards into a thick, ck mist.
Thankfully, the hatchet was around half a meter away from the corpse. Bai Qinghao moved quickly and backed away rapidly after picking the hatchet up. Although some insects flew towards him, they were easily waved away. He was not bitten.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao began to head backwards. They had only traveled around a hundred meters when they heard hissing noises.
This sound was too familiar¡ It belonged to a snake.
Furthermore, it sounded like there was arge group of snakes.
Her scalp began to prickle in difort. Although she had special abilities and it had been easy for her to kill those sea snakes on the beach, in the thick forest, it was difficult for her to see ahead.
The snakes were hidden in the forest and were especially difficult to find.
If the snakes were in the bushes, she was afraid that by killing one, it would startle the rest into attacking them.
Thus, they both fell silent and sharpened their ears to locate the snakes.
They noticed that a bush ahead was shifting back and forth. The grass around the area was also rustling.
Several snakes with sharp heads and brown and yellow patches were crawling on the ground.
My god, these were venomous snakes.
In this environment, they could not consider these snakes as food. It was more important that they escape to protect their lives.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin immediately headed in the other direction. They had only taken a few steps when they noticed that the grass ahead was rustling.
They scanned their surroundings and realized that there were movements all around them.
They exchanged a nce. Unfortunately, it seemed like they were thoroughly surrounded by the venomous snakes!
¡°Hubby, what do we do?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯splexion was pale.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was heavy. He wrapped one arm around her tightly and held the hatchet with his other hand. ¡°My wife, I will protect you.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s climb up the tree.¡± Fang Xinxin got ready to climb onto the tree. However, she lifted her head to see that there were a lot of snakes, around the thickness of her wrist, wrapped around the tree branches.
Furthermore, around three meters above them, a snake was hung on a tree branch. It seemed to have discovered them and it slowly stretched its head towards them. It felt like it would fall off the tree any second.
My god, it was as if these snakes were dering war on them.
The two of them stood with their backs pressed against each other. More and more snakes appeared to be crowding around them.. The snake above their head was also about to fall upon them.
Chapter 821 - Barely Escaped
Chapter 821: Barely Escaped
¡°Hubby, these snakes appear to be provoked by something. They¡¯re about to attack us.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke nervously.
Bai Qinghao held the hatchet in his hand. ¡°The substance on the hatchet we picked up earlier seems to be attracting these snakes.¡±
Thankfully, he had been on his guard earlier and had wrapped the hatchet with leaves before picking it up.
¡°Should we toss it away, then?¡± She suggested.
¡°We can try doing that.¡± He watched as the snakes pressed closer and tossed the hatchet far away.
As expected, a portion of the snakes immediately moved in the direction of the hatchet.
However, a portion of the snakes appeared more interested in living prey and continued pressing close.
There weren¡¯t as many bushes around them. Very quickly, the snakes began to slither out of the bushes and towards them.
¡°There are too many snakes on the bushes and on the ground. Although there are also some on the trees, we should be able to deal with them. I think it¡¯s better to climb the trees.¡± Fang Xinxin analyzed.
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly.
Fang Xinxin noticed that there were only two snakes on therge tree ahead. She activated her powers and sent the surgical knife flying forward. It sliced the head of one of the snakes immediately.
She activated her powers once more and incapacitated the other snake in an instant. The snake¡¯s corpse fell onto the ground.
At the same time, the snake that was above their head fell towards them.
Fang Xinxin could not respond fast enough. Just as the snake was about to touch her, Bai Qinghao waved the thick branch in his hand and delivered a harsh blow to the snake, sending it flying several meters away from them.
The imminent danger above their heads was resolved for now.
¡°Hubby, I can use my power to levitate you for a while, but I can¡¯t do it to myself.¡± She nced at the brown branches above them. It was around three meters away. ¡°I¡¯ll step on your shoulders and grab onto that branch to swing onto that tree. I¡¯ll levitate you to me after.¡±
The snakes were pressing closer and closer. There were also snakes on the neighboring trees.
The only tree they could escape to was the one she had dealt with earlier. They had no other options.
Bai Qinghao immediately knelt down. Fang Xinxin gently held onto his head and stepped on his shoulder.
After he stood up, she tried her best to maintain her bnce, straightening up on his shoulders.
Just as she was about to stumble, Bai Qinghao quickly dropped the tree branch in his hand and held onto her legs firmly. She stabilized herself and reached upwards to hold onto the tree branch.
She swung herself back and forth several times before releasing her grip andnding on the tree ahead.
She nearly missed thending. Thankfully, she wrapped her limbs around a tree branch tightly and barely managed to hold on.
Bai Qinghao remained where he was. The snakes were closing on him slowly.
Fang Xinxin breathed in sharply. No matter how strong her abilities were, she could not deal with these many snakes.
Several snakes were already beginning to attack. Thankfully, he had picked up the stick and was beating them away.
They appeared enraged at the sight of their fellow snakes being killed. All the snakes immediately got ready to attack.
He was on the verge of being bitten.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold as she activated her powers. Bai Qinghao immediately began to levitate in the air.
The snakes did not give up. They stretched upwards in an attempt to bite him..

Thankfully, she had levitated Bai Qinghao to a sufficient height and he was not bitten.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze remained cold as Bai Qinghao¡¯s body floated onto the tree branch she was standing on.
Since his body was heavy, she ended up using a lot of energy. Her body felt weak and she swayed a little.
Bai Qinghao quickly caught hold of her and kept her from falling.
There were still a lot of snakes near them. The snakes appeared to sense that they were on the tree and began to slither upwards.
Bai Qinghao nced at the thick vines growing around the tree. He tugged on three of them and twisted them into a rope. He then reached upwards and looped it around the tree branch above them in a ¡®U¡¯ shape. He held onto both ends of the rope and said to Fang Xinxin, ¡°Hold onto me tightly!¡±
Fang Xinxin immediately embraced his shoulders tightly. Before the snakes could reach them, Bai Qinghao held onto Fang Xinxin and swung forward with force. He calcted the amount of strength needed carefully and theynded exactly on the tree across them.
They repeated this over and over again and quickly escaped from the snakes.
Fang Xinxin nced back at the hatchet afar. She felt upset having to give up on it. It hadn¡¯t been easy traveling this far yet they were returning empty handed.
Furthermore, though she had recovered significantly, there were more and more blisters on Bai Qinghao¡¯s hands these days.
He had been breaking all the firewood which they used by hand. Even the shed had been made from his bare hands.
At times, he even had to jump on the tougher wood to break them.
Although he always picked the softer and smaller ones, it was still very tough on him.
Furthermore, since they couldn¡¯t wait for rescue, they had ns to build a wooden raft to escape.
That would require a lot of thick wood. It was impossible to do so without a hatchet.
Thus, Fang Xinxin¡¯s gaze turned cold as she nced at the hatchet from afar. It soared towards them across the air.
Bai Qinghao understood why his wife insisted on having the hatchet. He did not stop her.
She plucked arge leaf and used it to catch the hatchet. She shouted immediately. ¡°Let¡¯s run!¡±
They had made it away from the snakes and were running in the direction of the beach.
They had endured many difficult circumstances to make it this far and their bodies had be strong.
They were able to make it out of the ce quickly.
In a blink of an eye, they were gone.
Bai Qinghao remained behind his wife the whole time to ensure none of the snakes would reach her.
After making it past a certain distance, they looked back to see that the snakes were retreating.
They understood that the venomous snakes were guarding the portion of the forest which was engulfed with poisonous mist. They would not leave their territory.
It was no wonder they had never encountered a single venomous snake despite living in their shed for so long.
They finally heaved a sigh of relief and headed to the beach.
Bai Qinghao washed the hatchet thoroughly with sea water. He scrubbed it repeatedly with mud and soaked it several times to ensure that there wasn¡¯t any scent clinging onto it.
The traces of the mist in the forest were still present on their skin, so they took a quick shower with seawater and washed their clothes.
Fang Xinxin hid in the shed in only her underwear.
She often did this! At times, she only wore her underwear, and at other times, she wore everything but her underwear.
She had no choice as they did not have any other clothes with them.
They had nned on escaping with a raft made from wood. After all, they could not spend the winter here. They were bound to freeze to death.
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s watch as apass, they wouldn¡¯t have to fear losing their direction in the ocean..

However, as it had taken them ten days before they previously foundnd, it was possible that their journey on a wooden raft would take just as long.
If they were unlucky, they could even be separated by the rough water and be left adrift once more.
Thus, they discussed with each other and decided that it was likely that the corpse they found had been an inhabitant on this ind when he had been alive.
In other words, there had to be other inhabitants on this ind.
Furthermore, the corpse was dressed in modern clothes. He had to be part of modern society.
This ind was especiallyrge. Even when she stood from a height, she could only see the thick forest and not beyond it.
They concluded that this ind was separated into two parts. Their side of the ind was not inhabitable due to the poisonous mist. Thus, it was not suitable for anyone to live on it.
Perhaps, things would be different on the other end?
Fang Xinxin could not help but imagine if there was a newly developed resort on the other side of the ind.
However, with the sheer number of venomous snakes they had encountered, it was unlikely anyone would think of building a resort here. They could easily lose their lives.
In any case, the thought that they were about to head to a ce inhabited by people meant that they would find a boat to leave the ind.
This made her very excited.
Bai Qinghao began chopping wood and searching for thick vines to bind them together. He needed to ensure that the raft would be sturdy, hence he made sure to look for trees that were as thick as his arm. He also used the strongest vines he could find.
This took up a lot of energy.
He worked hard by the side. Each time he lowered his head, he would see the straw slippers which his wife had made. The sight of them always left his heart feeling warm.
The wooden raft waspleted in three days.
They could not wait any longer. They hurriedly ced all their food reserves into a basket and did not forget to bring their first aid kit as well as the only life jacket they had with them.
The raft was around three square meters wide. It was filled up with their items.
Bai Qinghao even brought the natural ¡®wok¡¯ they used to cook with, insisting that he would keep it as a souvenir.
Fang Xinxin sat on the wooden raft while Bai Qinghao stood half-submerged in the ocean as he pushed the raft deeper into the waters.
When the water came up to his waist, he climbed onto the raft and used arge oar he had made with the hatchet to move them forward.
It was around 8:00 in the morning.
Fang Xinxin stood on the raft and nced at the ind. She watched as the ind got further and further away from them. The bright sun cast a golden light on thend and left the sand on the beach sparkling dazzlingly. She looked further ahead and saw their shed located right before the thick forest. The sight appeared just like a paradise.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Qinghao stood by her side as he nced at her beautiful features.
¡°I suddenly feel like I¡¯ll miss this ce a little.¡± she pursed her lips lightly.
He opened his firm arms and embraced her, speaking in heartache. ¡°If you like it here, we can stay for a few more days.¡±
¡°No.¡± She shook her head. ¡°Our family must be going mad with worry. It¡¯s better that we hurry home.¡±
Although they had intentionally avoided talking about their family, they were both worried about them.
Speaking more about the matter would only worsen their misery.
They could only keep their worries in their heart.
He nodded lightly and guided the raft to move along the outskirts of the ind.
However, the ocean waves appeared to be moving against their intended direction. He guided the boat alone and their progress was very slow.
At times, they would travel thirty meters with much difficulty only to be pushed right back.
When Fang Xinxin saw this, she could not help but reach for the other oar to help him..

Bai Qinghao frowned and spoke heavily. ¡°My wife, you should rest! Leave it to me!¡±
She replied with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±
His expression turned stern. ¡°Listen to me! Or I¡¯ll be angry!¡±
His gaze grew heated looking at her. It seemed as though he wanted to swallow her whole.
She knew that the consequences would be dire if he was angry. Even when they were on the ind, he dished out his punishments regardless of their location.
As the ind was uninhabited, their intimate figures could be seen from all over the ce.
She noticed his heated gaze and was worried that he would really do as he pleased.
Thus, she sat down obediently and picked up the umbre next to the basket. She lifted it over her head.
This umbre was made with bamboo pieces. She hadyered the thin bamboo pieces into the shape of an umbre and arranged dried leaves between the pieces. She had then attached a thick branch to form the handle of the umbre.
The most primitive form of umbre was made in this manner.
Bai Qinghao had been worried that she would be caught in the rain. He also stressed over the thought that she would be burnt from the sun. Thus, he made this umbre just for her. It made life much easier.
Beneath the umbre, she remained cool andfortable. Bai Qinghao, however, was covered in sweat as he rowed their raft forward.
In fact, ever since they arrived on this ind, she only did some chores on the first few days. She spent the rest of the time resting and was well-taken care of by him.
They even had sufficient dew water to drink. They just didn¡¯t have enough for showers.
¡°Now that I think about it, it hasn¡¯t been all that difficult living on this ind with you around.¡± She sat in the center of the raft and spoke to him while he worked hard.
His gaze was filled with heartache. ¡°You¡¯re the only fool who would think this way.¡±
Without her, he would already have died in that ocean.
During the ten days they drifted in the ocean, he had been seriously injured and she single-handedly kept him alive.
He felt that he needed to treat her very well.
Thus, once his body made good recovery on the ind, he would rather suffer the exhaustion than to make her work in any way.
The sun was zing hot yet the ocean remained as ferocious as ever.
Fang Xinxin stayed beneath the umbre and did not feel too hot.
They traveled along the outskirts of the ind for nearly four hours before they finally arrived on the other side of the ind.
They looked forward and saw that the ind was an inverted ¡®U¡¯ shape on this side.
On the edge of the ind was a natural white beach. Above the shallow waters, there were more than thirty homes built from wood.
The houses were supported by thick pirs that were submerged beneath the waters.
The houses were built at the tip of the naturally ¡®U¡¯ shaped ind and were best positioned to avoid the powerful waves.
There were average-sized boats tied to every wooden house.
The boats appeared very primitive. They were around two meters wide and four meters long. They also relied on man made oars.
In the shallow waters, there were a few people washing something.
They finally found other inhabitants and this seemed like a proper vige. Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were finally able to set their worries away.
It seemed like they no longer had to face any more risks. They could safely leave this ce.
One of the men standing on the beach appeared to see them. He suddenly raised his voice and shouted something iprehensible. His voice could easily be heard through the entire vige.
Everyone looked out from their homes towards them.
As Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin approached them, they noticed that all of the people here had dark skin tones and curly hair.
Where exactly did the powerful waves send them drifting to?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Soon, all the inhabitants hurried out of their homes. They climbed down the staircases and jumped onto their boats, rowing quickly towards the beach.
Everyone¡¯s gaze was fixated on Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao. Their expressions were filled with awe as they looked at Fang Xinxin.
Many women were clearly interested in Bai Qinghao¡¯s muscr build and his handsome features.
The men also appeared hungry as they stared at Fang Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao frowned unhappily. His expression became especially cold and ruthless and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The men on the beach sensed his frigid gaze and finally restrained themselves a little.
The crowd naturally moved apart for them. A young man with a metallic scepter came forward while everyone else remained behind him respectfully.
The man appeared indifferent. He had a firm and lean figure and wore a crown made of feathers on his head. He was shirtless and wore a pair of shorts that came up to his knees. Based on everyone¡¯s respectful demeanor, it appeared that he was the leader of this vige.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were also sizing up the people here.
Most of the men were wearing shorts while the women were dressed in¡ ¡®bikinis¡¯.
More urately, they were a very thin strip of fabric around their chest and a pair of extremely short shorts. Their figures were barely concealed.
The clothes they wore were colorful, as if patched together with many fabrics.
Perhaps it was due to the difficult lives they led or the ce they were located at, but their skin tones were very dark.
The young man with a scepter said something and a middle-aged man stepped into the water and pushed Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin¡¯s raft ontond.
The inhabitants appeared to be whispering among themselves. However, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin could not understand them well.
They did not appear to be speaking in a recognisablenguage, but were instead using their local, aboriginalnguage.
All the houses seemed to be made by hand from wood. This was not the appearance of a beautiful resort. Even the roofs of the homes were made with grass.
They did not see any base stations nearby. None of the locals appeared to own a phone either.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin immediately understood the situation and were very disappointed.
Their hopes quickly diminished.
However, only a few of the inhabitants here were daring enough to only use a few pieces of leaves to cover up. Most of them were dressed in modern clothes.
This meant that the people here had to be somewhat educated.
At the very least, they had to have a way to contact the outside world.
Right now, they needed to ask for help to reach out to the people in their homes.
But thenguage barrier was a serious problem.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin got off their raft and stepped onto the shore. When the inhabitants saw the worn out clothes they were wearing¡
Fang Xinxin¡¯s shirt had be sleeveless. She had used the sleeves to make the straps for their basket.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s shirt was also repeatedly used to hold items. It was extremely wrinkled and torn.
Their expensive and luxury-branded outfits had be worn and torn. They appeared nearly like beggars.
The inhabitants¡¯ gaze turned very sympathetic.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin exchanged looks. They felt depressed. Both of them had a self-assured and confident disposition. To think they would be sympathized with!
The people here must think that they were refugees.
The man holding the scepter said something, but they both could not understand him. Their expressions were nk.
They watched as he stepped forward. There was a glint in his eyes as he opened his arms to embrace Fang Xinxin.
Bai Qinghao immediately stepped forward to stop him.. He spat out coldly. ¡°Scram!¡±

The young man was startled by Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid cold tone and took a step back.
Fang Xinxin wanted to say that perhaps this man only wanted to give her a polite embrace as a form of greeting.
However, in that case, why didn¡¯t he embrace Bai Qinghao, who stood in front of her? Thus, she remained silent.
They were seriously outnumbered by this crowd and still needed to request for a boat from them to leave this ind.
Furthermore, aside from Bai Qinghao¡¯s watch, they did not own any other items of value.
They still needed the watch as apass. Perhaps, they could hand the watch over and request for apass?
¡°May I know if any of you can speak Chinese?¡± Fang Xinxin raised her voice to ask. When she did not receive any response, she asked in English. ¡°Can anyone here speak English?¡±
Bai Qinghao also attempted more than ten differentnguages. But the crowd remained befuddled.
The inhabitants seemed to guess that they were asking something. They spoke incessantly in their localnguage but to no avail.
Unfortunately, neither of them could not understand it.
The man with a scepter suddenly pointed to himself. He repeated the same two words over and over again.
Fang Xinxin repeated his words to ask. ¡°Yi Mo?¡±
He nodded and gave her a thumbs-up.
She finally got it. ¡°Do you mean to say that your name is Yi Mo?¡±
She was speaking in Chinese and he appeared to not understand her.
She repeated herself in English and he nodded. He said in broken English, ¡°I know not too much. Only two here.¡±
His pronunciation was thick with the local ent. Fang Xinxin had to pay good attention to vaguely understand. He meant that there were only two of them who could speak English here and he was one of them.
Bai Qinghao asked. ¡°May I know how we can leave this ce?¡±
¡°In spring, volunteerse by ne.¡± Yi Mo responded.
Bai Qinghao frowned at his response.
It was autumn right now. If they waited till next spring, wouldn¡¯t they have to wait for six months? ¡°Is there any other way?¡±
Yi Mo shook his head.
A tall and voluptuous young woman with an olive skin tone made her way through the crowd. She took the initiative to introduce herself with broken English. ¡°I am He La. Wee!¡±
She then opened her arms towards Bai Qinghao in an attempt to embrace him.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze was as sharp as knives. His stern disposition made her pause.
He La did not be angry. Instead, she appeared even more interested. ¡°Stay here for now. Follow me¡¡±
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin exchanged looks and followed after her.
They did not notice the men watching Fang Xinxin as she left. It seemed like they would start to drool anytime.
Under Yi Mo¡¯s re, they had no choice but to look away.
The women, on the other hand, were watching Bai Qinghao with heated looks. They appeared excited.
He La made her way across the beach and stepped into the shallow waters. She approached a house and climbed her way up the staircase.
This was an extremelyrge home. The pirs had been dug deep into the waters and the home was built a meter above the surface.
Every home was built individually with a small boat tied onto its pirs.
The boats closely resembled the ones shaped like a leaf frequently used in ancient times.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin climbed up the stairs and headed into the home.
They made their way through the hallway into the living room. The ground wasyered with thick, dried up mud. In the center of the room, there was arge, t rock. A rack made with three metal sticks arranged like a tripod was ced on top of the rock..

There was arge, steel wok on top of the rack.
The wok was steaming hot. It was clearly being used for cooking.
The fire beneath the wok crackled loudly. He La retrieved some fire wood from a pile by the side and added it to the fire pit.
Fang Xinxin scanned their surroundings. Two long wooden nks were embedded into the wall. Various tableware made from y were neatly arranged on it.
Aside from those, various animal skins were hung up on the wall. There were also decorative pieces made from fish bones and beads.
A room was connected to the living room. In it, there was arge wooden bed and a simple table. Various y bottles were ced on the table.
Twoyers of animal hide were arranged on top of the wooden bed as a mattress. A wooden mat wasyered above it.
After Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin scanned the ce, He La spoke enthusiastically to Bai Qinghao. ¡°In the future, you stay here.¡±
What did she mean by that¡ Bai Qinghao did not n on staying here long term.
Before he could respond, He La headed to the living room. She retrieved two y bowls from the shelves and filled the bowls with piping hot fish soup. She handed them to Bai Qinghao. ¡°You eat.¡±
Bai Qinghao felt that something was amiss. He did not receive it. ¡°This is your home?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± He La had an almond shaped face. She stood upright as though to show off her muscr figure and smiled at him. ¡°Do you like it?¡±
Bai Qinghao wasn¡¯t sure if she was asking about her apartment or herself. Nheless, he responded coldly. ¡°No.¡±
He La was unfazed by his rejection. Her skin tone was honey colored from the frequent exposure to the sun. She smiled, revealing her white teeth. ¡°I am the prettiest here.¡±
Fang Xinxin understood that she was the most attractive girl in this vige. ¡°May I ask if you are African? Or perhaps, are you Indian?¡±
He La shook her head. ¡°This is Tjavualji. The volunteers say we don¡¯t belong to any country.¡±
After the conversation, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin vaguely understood that this was an unknown ind in the Pacific Ocean. It was separated from and forgotten by most of modern society.
They used to have a poption of five hundred people. However, around thirty years ago, as the hygiene on this ind was poor, a serious epidemic urred. More than four hundred people died and only forty of them were left.
Since then, they had gradually developed and there were now around one hundred people on this ind.
There weren¡¯t any industries on this ind. The inhabitants relied on hunting and fishing to survive. Some of the inhabitants also had the skills to make simple pottery.
Originally, all the clothes they wore were made from animal hide. Around three years ago, soldiers from a nearby country found them by ident. After understanding that they did not belong to any country, several countries worked together to send volunteers over and to donate some items to them.
Their modern clothes and some of their food reserves came from those volunteers.
The volunteers had stayed for a period of time to learn theirnguage, and to teach them a little English. However, most of the people here could not learn it well. Moreover, they were unwilling to learn.
Even the ones who had managed to do so, forgot everything they learned due to theck of practice.
He La and Yi Mo were naturally talented and had managed to fare a little better.
In the past three years, the volunteers had visited the ce twice. On their second visit, they brought some rice as well as seeds to grow beans, corn, oat and many other types of food.
It was a pity that the people here did not manage to grow most of them sessfully. Even the ones they did, were not to their taste.
Right now, the only food they were still growing were beans, corn and oat..

However, to the people who lived here, having ess to three new varieties of food was sufficient to improve their life significantly.
The volunteers hade by ne and promised to visit again next spring.
The inhabitants here have never left their home. Even when they left to fish, they always stayed near the ind.
Thus, the only way they knew to go out of this ce was through the volunteers who visited by ne.
The little boats they used to fish could not be relied on for far travels. Those boats overturned too easily and could cost them their lives.
Most importantly, this ce was their home. They had no interest in leaving.
After understanding the situation, both Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin felt very helpless.
There was no way they would stay here till next spring. The volunteers also did not specify when exactly they would return. What if they went back on their promise?
They stood in the hallway and nced out of the window to see the boats attached to the homes. They were all too small.
These boats were absolutely no match for the powerful waves. They were only slightly better than a wooden raft.
He La approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side and took in his stern and attractive features. ¡°Stay. I will treat you well.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned lightly. She was fairly intelligent. How could she possibly misunderstand He La¡¯s intentions?
This woman was interested in Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao shook his head. ¡°I will leave this ce.¡±
¡°No.¡± He La refused.
She was determined to have this man!
Fang Xinxin asked her another question. ¡°Is this your home?¡±
He La nodded. Her expression was proud. ¡°My home is good, yes? It¡¯s the biggest among the women.¡±
¡°There is only one room here.¡± Fang Xinxin pointed at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Where do we sleep?¡±
¡°He sleep with me.¡± He La patted her own chest.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned dark. She had expected this. ¡°What about me?¡±
H lifted her hand and pointed towards the home in the center of the vige. ¡°You stay there.¡±
Bai Qinghao asked. ¡°Whose home is that?¡±
The crowd on the beach had dispersed. It seemed like all the homes were upied and there weren¡¯t any vacant spaces.
¡°Yi Mo¡¯s,¡± He La answered directly.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression turned dark. His aura was frigid cold from his rage.
H felt that he appeared much more charismatic than Yimo. With just one nce, it was clear he was a capable ruler. Although she was a little afraid, she was more lovestruck.
In their vige, both men and women were thought to be attractive when they were well-built and fair.
She was the fairest woman in this vige. Although her skin was a shade of honey, it was much lighter than all the women in this ce.
As for the woman who had just arrived, though she was very fair, she didn¡¯t appear strong enough.
More importantly, the vige leader was smitten with this woman. She believed that this woman wouldn¡¯t be He La¡¯s rival.
Fang Xinxin finally understood. The moment the two of them arrived in this ce, Yi Mo and He La had imed their stakes on them.
It seemed like these two were rather powerful here.
Bai Qinghao immediately held Fang Xinxin¡¯s hand and turned to head out of the house.
¡°Don¡¯t go¡¡± He La rushed to follow.
Bai Qinghao turned back and red at her coldly. The murderous intent in his gaze sessfully made her falter.
She watched unhappily as they left. They walked through the shallow waters and returned to the beach.
Fang Xinxin spoke to Bai Qinghao in Chinese. ¡°Hubby, do we leave now?¡±
He leaned close to her ear and whispered.. ¡°We¡¯ll stay here for a while and steal a boat.¡±
Chapter 829 - Accusation
Chapter 829: usation
This was a decision he had made out of helplessness.
Although he could figure out how to make a wooden raft, a proper boat was beyond him.
Even though the boats they had here were small, it was still safer than traveling by a wooden raft.
Previously, they had stored a lot of items on their wooden raft. Several vigers kept ncing towards it with interest. All of a sudden, a viger raised his voice. He spoke iprehensibly.
Yi Mo, the vige head, was right by the side. He approached the wooden raft and picked up the hatchet in their basket.
Yi Mo seemed to have dered something and in an instant, they were surrounded by the vigers. Everyone¡¯s expressions were fierce.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had a sense of foreboding. However, they did not escape.
This was because they were dealing with over a hundred people and these vigers were familiar with the ce. In this situation, there was no way for them to escape.
Yi Mo pointed sternly at the markings on the hatchet and asked in English. ¡°Where did you find this?¡±
Fang Xinxin responded, ¡°We drifted to an uninhabited part of this ind. It is on the opposite side of where we stand now. This ind is especially big and it took four hours to row against the current and get here. From where we first arrived on the ind, we traveled around two kilometers and found a portion of the forest surrounded by thick fog. There was a corpse there and it had already begun to decay. Based on the corpse¡¯s clothes, it seemed to be a man. We found this hatchet next to the corpse and picked it up. There were also a lot of venomous snakes there. We were nearly bitten.¡±
She gestured as she spoke and repeated herself several times before Yi Mo finally understood.
He spoke to the vigers in their localnguage and they all seemed very agitated. Their gaze was furious as they stared at Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao exchanged nces. They had only picked up a hatchet. The vigers¡¯ reactions were clearly amiss.
He La nced at Bai Qinghao in sympathy and pursed her lips together silently.
Bai Qinghao pointed at Yi Mo and asked He La. ¡°What did he say to them?¡±
¡°He said¡¡± He La wanted to speak truthfully. However, Yi Mo shot her a warning look. As she still wanted to continue living in this vige, she could only shake her head.
This man was doomed. He was about to die under the vigers¡¯ hands.
Everyone had seen the way this man always held the woman¡¯s hand and shoulder. From the expressions, it was clear that they were a couple.
They believed that the vige head had God¡¯s blessing. The women he took a liking to, always ended up being his.
From the moment this couple arrived, when the vige head made a move to embrace her, he had already dered his ownership of her.
This man had stopped the vige head from doing so. In other words, he had challenged the vige head¡¯s power.
He originally had only one more chance of survival; that was to be with her and to be her man.
It was a pity that he had rejected her request when she brought him to his home earlier.
The corpse they spoke of was one of their vigers named ¡®Nuo¡¯.
Earlier, this woman said they had only picked up Nuo¡¯s hatchet. She understood this.
It was a pity that the vige head dered that the man had killed Nuo and stolen his hatchet.
Thus, he was doomed.
Based on the rules of their vige, he would be burned alive.
He La was the most popr woman in this vige. Although she had taken a liking to the man, she wasn¡¯t fixated on him. It wouldn¡¯t be that great of a loss to lose him.
She would not start a conflict with the vige head over a man who had rejected her.
¡°Nuo, Nuo!¡± One of the middle-aged women cried out in tears. She appeared to have suffered a serious blow and lost consciousness..
Chapter 830 - Misunderstanding
Chapter 830: Misunderstanding
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
He La nced at the middle-aged woman. That was Nuo¡¯s mother. She had fainted due to grief.
Yi Mo nced at Bai Qinghao in sympathy and spoke to Fang Xinxin in English. ¡°He will die. The situation is dangerous. Come to me.¡±
Fang Xinxin frowned in confusion. ¡°Earlier, you intentionally caused a misunderstanding, right? What did you tell everyone?¡±
Yi Mo believed He La would not betray him. There wasn¡¯t another person here who knew English. Thus, he wasn¡¯t afraid to speak to her honestly. ¡°He killed Nuo. He must pay with his life.¡±
¡°He did not!¡± Fang Xinxin replied in rage. ¡°You intentionally framed him!¡±
A hint of murderous intent shed past Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze. From the moment Yi Mo picked up the hatchet, to when he witnessed everyone¡¯s agitation and then the middle-aged woman¡¯s reaction, he had guessed the situation.
Yi Mo was unashamed as he responded. ¡°This is all for you.¡± His gaze was hungry as he stared at her. ¡°Once he dies, you are mine!¡±
He suddenly pointed at Bai Qinghao andmanded in their localnguage. ¡°Kill him! Take revenge for Nuo!¡±
The vigers held up their hatchets, hammers and poles in agitation. They then charged towards Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao would not stand still for them to attack them. Thus, before the first viger could m his pole at him, he quickly held Fang Xinxin and dodged to the side.
As the assant fell forward, he snatched his pole and used it to fight back against the other vigers who wereing towards him with hatchets in their hands.
He swept them aside, sent them flying with a kick and choked them¡ Bai Qinghao¡¯s moves were delivered in a bewitching manner. Although none of them were killed, they were sent crashing onto the ground within a matter of seconds.
When Yi Mo saw this, a hint of rage shed past his vicious expression. ¡°Kill him! We must kill him!¡±
The vigers¡¯ blood was pumping due to their anger. They stood up over and over again to continue the fight and appeared as fierce as tigers¡
Gradually, Bai Qinghao began to weaken from needing to protect Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin had nned on revealing her skills to help him. It was no trouble for her to deal with a few people.
However, she thought about it and felt it would be too difficult for the both of them to deal with over a hundred people.
Besides, these vigers were only being used by Yi Mo.
She needed to outsmart him.
She saw that the vigers appeared to be targeting Bai Qinghao. Thus, she spoke to Yi Mo. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to go to you? I¡¯ming now.¡±
Bai Qinghao watched as Fang Xinxin left his side. A hint of worry shed past his eyes.
¡°You should have been with me from the start. He wouldn¡¯t have had to die, then.¡± Yi Mo spoke in English. ¡°Remember, you killed him.¡±
Fang Xinxin approached Yi Mo.
Yi Mo took in her stunning features and her fair skin. His gaze was filled with admiration.
The women in their vige were miles away from this woman¡¯s beauty.
At the thought that he would soon obtain her, he was very excited.
He held Nuo¡¯s hatchet in his hand and was about to embrace her.
To his shock, Fang Xinxin snatched the hatchet from him and quickly pressed the de of the hatchet against his neck. ¡°Tell them to stop. Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
Yi Mo¡¯s expression was filled with shock and rage from her threat. ¡°Woman, you don¡¯t even have the guts to kill a chicken, much less a man¡¡±
Before he could finish, Fang Xinxin dug the de against his neck, causing him to cry out in pain.
He began bleeding from the shallow cut.
Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. ¡°I¡¯ll let you find out if I have the guts to kill you. If you don¡¯t stop now, I¡¯ll deepen the cut.. Soon, you¡¯ll lose your life!¡±
Chapter 831 - New Leader
Chapter 831: New Leader
Yi Mo realized that she was serious and immediately turned pale from fright. ¡°Stop!¡±
The vigers watched as their vige head was being threatened and could onlye to an abrupt halt.
¡°You, tell the vigers that he didn¡¯t kill Nuo!¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s words were directed at He La.
But He La hesitated. Yi Mo also seemed to want to stop her.
Fang Xinxin pressed the hatchet deeper. ¡°Tell He La to rify the matter!¡±
¡°Exin!¡± The sharp pain left Yi Mo feeling as if he would lose his head any moment. He could not pause to consider anything else.
He La helplessly began to exin the matter to the vigers in their localnguage. She told them that this man did not kill Nuo. He had only picked up Nuo¡¯s hatchet.
Nuo had died in the forest due to the poisonous fog. He had likely suffocated to the death.
The vigers slowly calmed down.
Many of them turned to look at their vige head in confusion. They then nced at Bai Qinghao and spoke iprehensibly to He La.
Fang Xinxin could guess what they were saying. ¡°Tell them that your vige head intentionally framed him to obtain me!¡±
He La did not wish to do so. Wouldn¡¯t she be thoroughly offending her vige head by doing this?
If the vige head managed to escape unscathed, she would be doomed.
Just as she was hesitating, Fang Xinxin addressed her worries in English. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your vige head is doomed to die.¡±
A muscr man suddenly said something to He La.
He La immediately raised her voice. ¡°Yi Mo has lost his mind! In order to obtain the new woman, he framed that man! Once that man dies, the woman will be his!¡±
¡°He La, you¡¯ve gone mad!¡± Yi Mo was in shock.
With her words, everyone would lose their faith in him as the vige head!
Fang Xinxin said mockingly to Yi Mo, ¡°You fool. Can¡¯t you tell? There is another capable man in this vige who wishes to rece you. Since you asked for it, I shall grant his wish.¡±
When He La heard this, she tranted Fang Xinxin¡¯s words in their localnguage for him.
The man shot Fang Xinxin a smile in gratitude.
¡°We need to leave this ce. Prepare your best boat for us!¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to stay in this horrid ce for a second longer.
Bai Qinghao had nned on stealing a boat to leave.
There was no harm in snatching one right now.
All the men here stared at her with hungry eyes. The women¡¯s gaze was also heated as they watched Bai Qinghao.
If they stayed here any longer, more trouble would follow the two of them.
It was safer to leave the ce as soon as possible.
¡°Yi Mo¡¯s boat is the biggest. It¡¯s the one in the center.¡± He La pointed to the boat attached to thergest house. Although it appeared bigger than the rest, it was still a simple boat in the shape of a leaf.
Bai Qinghao spoke to Fang Xinxin. ¡°My wife, let¡¯s go to Yi Mo¡¯s boat.¡±
She nodded lightly and kept the hatchet against Yi Mo¡¯s neck, following his instructions.
Bai Qinghao first shifted all the things kept on their wooden raft onto that boat.
Most of the people here kept their boats attached to the pirs that made up the foundation of their home.
Bai Qinghao searched Yi Mo¡¯s home and found two raincoats. He also found two baskets of dried meat and a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables.
There was also a stic water tank. It was filled to the brim with pure water.
Previously, He La had informed them that there was a stream of water that flowed from the mountains near their vige. Everyone obtained their drinking water from there..
Chapter 832 - Back To The Sea
Chapter 832: Back To The Sea
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Bai Qinghao also gathered other useful items, including a small stove that relied on burning solid alcohol, a lighter and four sets of clothes.
After confirming that the boat could endure the weight of these items, he ced them all on the boat.
The vigers watched as Fang Xinxin climbed onto the boat with her hatchet firmly pressed against Yi Mo¡¯s neck.
Bai Qinghao slowly rowed the boat and left the ind.
Bai Qinghao could rely on his watch as apass and was not afraid of getting lost.
Therge boat moved along the ocean for some time. Yi Mo held onto his bleeding neck and cried out. ¡°Let go of me!¡±
Fang Xinxin lifted an eyebrow. ¡°I didn¡¯t say I would let you off.¡±
¡°What do you want to do then?¡± Yi Mo appeared fearful.
¡°Kill you.¡± Fang Xinxin responded directly.
Bai Qinghao approached them and picked up the other hatchet. He delivered a fatal blow to Yi Mo¡¯s chest and sent him flying into the ocean with a kick.
His movements were swift and sharp. Yi Mo did not even have the time to cry out in pain.
Bai Qinghao turned to look at Fang Xinxin. He was afraid she would be frightened. To his surprise, she appeared unfazed.
He approached her side and embraced her. ¡°My wife, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
She nced at him from the side. ¡°Why are you apologizing?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t expect this to happen¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± She smiled. ¡°Aren¡¯t we safe and well?¡±
He held her tightly. ¡°If you weren¡¯t smart enough to make use of Yi Mo, we would be doomed by now.¡±
¡°No matter what, you would have protected me, wouldn¡¯t you?¡± She took in his stern, handsome features.
¡°Yes.¡± He was deeply moved as he kissed her. ¡°I would sacrifice my life for you.¡±
¡°So would I.¡±
¡°You have already done it.¡± If it hadn¡¯t been for her, he would already have died in the ocean.
¡°Sit down and rest. I¡¯ll row the boat.¡± Bai Qinghao approached the front of the boat and rowed.
Several minutester, as their boat moved further and further, Yi Mo¡¯s body floated to the surface. The water around him was dyed red before he was quickly swept away.
Fang Xinxin nced at Yi Mo¡¯s corpse. She felt that perhaps they should have kept him alive and made him work for them.
However, she was certain Bai Qinghao must have thought about this.
Yi Mo was extremely vicious. He was even capable of framing someone of murder. He was a dangerous individual.
If they kept him alive, he would most definitely wait for an opportunity to cause trouble. That would have ced both of them in danger. Now that he was dead, at the very least, they would not have to be on their guards.
Thus, Bai Qinghao had swiftly ended his life.
Fang Xinxin sat in the middle of the boat. She scanned their surroundings and only saw the boundless ocean. No matter where she looked, there was nond in sight.
Thankfully, Bai Qinghao¡¯s watch could be relied on as apass. ¡°Hubby, where are we headed to right now?¡±
¡°If we row towards the south for eight days, we¡¯ll arrive at the nearest town.¡±
¡°How do you know this?¡±
¡°This was written in one of the notebooks in Yi Mo¡¯s home. I flipped through it quickly. Aside from this sentence, all he wrote were simple, English words. He must have been practicing English.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°I took four sets of clothes from his home. Two are for men and two are for women.¡± Bai Qinghao said, ¡°Quickly change into something clean.¡±
Fang Xinxin agreed.
From the moment theynded in the ocean, she had yet to take a shower.
She began to search through the things on the boat. Everything here was useful. There was a water tank, a wooden bucket¡
¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll use some water for a quick shower.¡± she truly could not endure it any longer..
Chapter 833 - New Island
Chapter 833: New Ind
They nned to travel for eight days. Hence, it was important to save as much drinking water as possible.
However, Fang Xinxin felt that the bits of salt clinging onto her body was ruining her skin. She would lose her mind if she did not wash it off immediately.
If he were anyone else, he would most definitely have stopped her.
Bai Qinghao, however, simply nodded.
She used as little water as she could possibly manage.
She tore the sleeve off of a woman¡¯s outfit and used it as a towel. She made sure to cover herself with the umbre so that Bai Qinghao could not watch as she wiped herself thoroughly.
After dampening her skin, she carefully rubbed the dried up salt crystals and grime on her body. She then soaked the ¡®towel¡¯ and wiped herself clean.
She used around a liter of water for this shower.
Finally, she changed into a set of the women¡¯s clothes which Bai Qinghao had found.
It was clear that these two sets of clothing belonged to Yi Mo¡¯s woman.
The men¡¯s outfits were probably his.
Bai Qinghao did not wipe himself. He directly changed into a clean set of clothes.
Although they needed to survive eight days on sea, they had ¡®found¡¯ many useful items to rely on in Yi Mo¡¯s home.
There was an alcohol burner stove and a small bottle of alcohol.
They also found a lot of food, including dried up meat and fresh vegetables.
With the lighter and the alcohol burner, they could cook a simple meal for themselves.
The water tank was sufficient tost them for several days. They also had many buckets which they could use to collect dew water in. Right before daylight, they attach the hatchets and other metal items they had found to these buckets.
They had arger water storage. The hatchets would also be much more efficient for collecting morning due.
Thus, they were notcking drinking water any more.
On this journey, they only needed to ensure the safety of their boat. As long as the boat did not overturn, they would not have to suffer as they did before.
Inparison, their current plight was much ¡®happier¡¯.
On the evening of the third day, it began to rain.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin happily took a shower in the rain and then changed into a set of clean clothes.
They also filled up all their storage with rain water.
When they no longer wished to soak in the rain, they would put on the raincoat they had found.
On the seventh day, though they remained in the boundless ocean, every so often, they would see the faint image of an ind afar. It was much betterpared to when they could not see anynd in sight.
However, they did not n on stopping on the ind that they found.
This was because there were no signs that it was inhabited. The ind they were heading for was also only one day away.
They had sufficient food and water tost them for the remaining journey.
By the eight day, all their food and water had been used up.
Thankfully, from afar, they could see thatnd was around half a kilometer away. Furthermore, there were properly built homes on the ind.
As they got closer, they realized that the homes here were especially old.
¡°Thank god, we¡¯re finally onnd!¡± As their boat neared the shore, Fang Xinxin was nearly in tears of joy.
Bai Qinghao embraced her and patted her shoulder lightly. ¡°Let¡¯s find somewhere to make a call and have them send someone toe pick us up.¡±
The two of them stepped onto the ind and headed into the old town.
Although this was a town, most of the homes were either damaged or old to the point where the paint was peeling and cracking. Some were even old to the point where weeds and vines were growing around them.
Their footsteps were the only noise in this old street. It seemed as though this town waspletely uninhabited.
¡°Is anyone here?¡± Fang Xinxin called out.
The silence around them was ufortable. It caused their goosebumps to rise.
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°Wife, something is amiss here. There isn¡¯t a single boat on the shore besides ours in this town.¡±
He nced at the wall in front of them and found that there were bullet marks.
Fang Xinxin also noticed this. ¡°A gun battle must have urred here!¡±
All of a sudden, a suffocating feeling of imminent danger overtook them..
Chapter 834 - Gunfight
Chapter 834: Gunfight
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
In the shadows, a gun barrel was directed straight at Bai Qinghao. The trigger was pulled the next second.
Bai Qinghao noticed something amiss and immediately tugged Fang Xinxin to dart into a nearby home.
The bullet flew past his shoulder and dug into the wall behind.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin kept their backs bent as they quietly snuck upstairs. They exchanged confused gaze and both appeared very concerned.
Bai Qinghao had previously mentioned that the people who had tried to assassinate him were from the Dark Moon Organisation. Could it be that they were this well-informed and had sent more people after them?
Logically speaking, the two of them had gone off the grid and were yet to sessfully contact anyone.
There weren¡¯t any signals on the ind they had stayed on previously, either.
Besides, the vigers on that ind were clueless as to where they were headed to.
It was impossible for the Dark Moon Organisation toe pursuing them this quickly. What was going on?
¡°It¡¯s not safe here.¡± Bai Qinghao mouthed these words to Fang Xinxin and brought her to the balcony on the second floor. They climbed down to the first floor and entered another home from the back.
He carefully checked the ce and confirmed that there was no one else in here. Then, he instructed Fang Xinxin to hide behind the door while he hid behind a wall. He carefully began to analyze the direction of the bullet that was fired earlier.
It seemed like the opponent was hiding behind the hill across them.
He carefully darted out from the home and disappeared across the street.
A momentter, he silently made his way up the hill.
He approached the ce without making any noise. As expected, he found a foreign man hiding behind a bush. He wore a backpack on his back and had a gun directed straight at the house in front of him.
It seemed like he believed that the two of them were still in there and was waiting to fire the next shot.
Bai Qinghao picked up arge rock and aimed it straight at his head. With that, he delivered a fatal blow to the person.
He snatched the gun from the man¡¯s hand and took the backpack away from him. He opened it up quickly.
There were several pieces of bread, a pile of rope, a phone, several pieces of chocte and two bottles of water in the pack.
A set of binocrs was also hung on his neck.
He put the backpack on and flipped the man¡¯s body over.
It seemed like this was a middle-aged, foreign man. His features seemed to be European.
He took the binocrs from the body.
He nced at the man¡¯s body. The person did not appear to be a well-trained assassin.
After ensuring that there wasn¡¯t anyone else on the mountain, he quietly returned to Fang Xinxin¡¯s side.
Fang Xinxin was waiting behind the door obediently. She appeared to be very worried.
When she saw Bai Qinghao, she immediately rushed into his arms. ¡°Hubby, where did you go?¡±
¡°I got rid of the person who attacked us earlier.¡± He held up the gun in his hand and pointed to the backpack. ¡°There¡¯s a phone in the backpack. There¡¯s also a rope, three pieces of bread, a few pieces of chocte and two bottles of water. I also snatched his binocrs. I checked the ind from the hill earlier, it¡¯s basically an abandoned ind. It doesn¡¯t seem like there are any inhabitants, but every so often, there are a few figures running between and hiding in the homes. Their movements are strange.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Does the phone have any signal?¡±
¡°I checked on my way from the hill till here. There isn¡¯t any signal.¡±
Her gaze darkened. ¡°It seems like we¡¯ll have to look for somewhere with a signal then.¡±
¡°We survived such a difficult journey on sea. We¡¯ll definitely make it through this.¡± Bai Qinghao patted her gently.
¡°En.¡± She nodded and suggested. ¡°It¡¯s best if we leave this ind soon.. Will it be safe if we leave with the same boat we arrived on?¡±
Chapter 835 - Out For Each Other’s Blood
Chapter 835: Out For Each Other¡¯s Blood
¡°It might not be safe. Let¡¯s observe the situation first.¡± Bai Qinghao brought her to the second floor. They stood with their backs against the wall and nced out of the broken windows towards the harbor.
Their boat was right by the shore.
All of a sudden, a young man with dark skin tone jumped onto the boat and began rowing with all his might.
However, he only managed to travel around thirty meters before a grenade was tossed in his direction.
With a loud noise, the whole area was engulfed in mes. The young man was blown up along with the boat.
The remnant pieces of the boat as well as his corpse floated against the surface of the water.
The ocean was dyed red for several moments before the color faded away.
The only boat they could have used to leave this ce was ruined.
¡°It seems like we aren¡¯t the only people who wish to leave this ce.¡± Fang Xinxin concluded with some regret.
¡°There are ambushes hidden everywhere.¡± Bai Qinghao nced at his wife. ¡°You have to follow me closely. We can¡¯t separate.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± She appeared unfazed.
Bai Qinghao nced at herposed expression. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing for me to be afraid of, with you around,¡± she responded.
He enjoyed hearing these words very much. He swore internally that he would use his life to ensure her safety.
They headed to the rooftop on the third floor and squatted by the cement fence.
Through the gaps beneath two apartments ahead, they watched two foreign men shoot a woman with Asian features. Then, they snatched her gun and snuck into one of the nearby homes.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin immediately understood the situation. The people who appeared here would kill anyone they saw.
They truly did not understand the reason behind these circumstances.
However, it seemed like it was most important to remain hidden.
Otherwise, they would be a target and be killed as well.
The atmosphere was especially tense.
All of a sudden, Bai Qinghao found a familiar symbol carved onto a wall through the binocrs. He spoke up with certainty. ¡°Ya Lun is here!¡±
¡°What?¡± Fang Xinxin was astonished.
¡°I found the code he left behind.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t he go missing in Mo Jia La Ind?¡± Fang Xinxin asked in confusion. ¡°Is this Mo Jia La Ind?¡±
¡°No.¡± Bai Qinghao shook his head. ¡°This should be an abandoned town on the outskirts of a piece ofnd. Mo Jia La isn¡¯t like this. Regardless, Ya Lun is here and he has left a code as a call for help. We should try to locate him.¡±
She nodded.
The two of them spoke quietly and could only hear each other.
When the two foreign men left the home they were in, Bai Qinghao pointed the gun directly at one of their heads and shot him to death.
The other man did not have the time to figure out where the bullet came from. He responded quickly and immediately hid away.
Bai Qinghao jumped onto another apartment to prevent giving his location away. Soon, he snuck downstairs and killed the other man.
Coincidentally, he had run out of bullets. He tossed his gun away and snatched two new pairs of guns from the men whom he had just killed.
Fang Xinxin followed him closely.
Bai Qinghao handed one of the guns to her. ¡°My wife, use this to protect yourself. I¡¯ll teach you how to use it¡¡±
Right before he could begin exining, she spoke up. ¡°I know how to use it.¡±
She did not wish to be his burden and had intentionally gone to learn to shoot after bing rich in this life.
Furthermore, she had also secretly obtained a few pairs of guns to practice with.
With her special abilities, she was able to learn much faster than anyone else. At this moment, her shooting skills were very good.
He nced at her in surprise. ¡°You even know this?¡±
She smiled. ¡°Just a little.¡±
¡°That makes things easier.¡± He told her sternly, ¡°Follow behind me obediently..¡±

He brought her with him as they snuck between several apartments and arrived at the one where Ya Lun had left the marking. His marking indicated that he had headed up the mountain.
In order to climb up the mountain, they needed to cross the road.
Bai Qinghao lifted the binocrs and scanned their surroundings. He did not immediately head across the road.
He needed to ensure that they would not be killed by anyone hiding in ambush.
¡°Help¡ me!¡± A young, beautiful woman with asian features cried for help as she ran down the street. Bullets were following her.
Finally, the opportunity was here!
Bai Qinghao was not interested in killing anyone, nor was he interested in saving anyone.
However, with that woman acting as a distraction, he was able to bring Fang Xinxin with him as they quickly ran across the street.
They safely arrived before the mountain. There was arge and thick forest right behind it.
The two of them hid in the thick bushes and slowly made their way forward.
They needed to prioritize their own safety.
Ahead, there were four individuals engaged in battle. They were running while firing bullets at each other.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin waited till these people were some distance away from them.
They found more markings that Ya Lun had left behind on a nearby tree.
They followed his markings and headed forward.
On their way, Bai Qinghao checked the phone he had found every so often. However, there wasn¡¯t any signal till nowl.
Every so often, they would find a corpse lying here and there. All the valuables on the corpses had already been looted.
Fang Xinxin frowned and asked softly. ¡°Hubby, what on earth is going on here? Why does it appear so simr to the game of which I¡¯ve been ying?¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t a game.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°We¡¯ll die if we get shot.¡±
¡°I know.¡± She was simply confused by their circumstances.
These people fired the moment they saw someone. Although they wanted to ask questions, there was no one they could ask.
They followed Ya Lun¡¯s marking and carefully left the forest. They headed into an abandoned workshop.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin decided to rest in the workshop¡¯s office for a while.
Bai Qinghao brought two pieces of bread out from his backpack and shared it with Fang Xinxin. They shared a bottle of water afterwards.
Five minutester, a foreign man was suddenly seen pursuing a woman while firing bullets at her.
¡°Help me!¡± The woman cried out in English as she ran into the abandoned workshop.
This was clearly the woman they had encountered earlier in the abandoned town.
They did not expect her to survive.
The foreign man nced up and found Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin in the office. He immediately directed his gun at them.
Bai Qinghao was much faster than him though. He raised his gun and aimed it straight at the man¡¯s head, taking his life in a split second.
His movements were clean, without the slightest hesitation.
The woman immediately ran towards them. Just as Bai Qinghao pointed his gun directly at her, she hurriedly lifted her hands in surrender. She said in English, ¡°Don¡¯t fire the gun! I don¡¯t have any bad intentions!¡±
She took a proper look at Bai Qinghao and her eyes lit up. She spoke in Chinese excitedly. ¡°You¡¯re Bai Qinghao!¡±
¡°You know me?¡± Bai Qinghao frowned as he shot her an indifferent look. ¡°I¡¯m certain I don¡¯t know you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one and only Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO, Bai Qinghao!¡± The woman¡¯s gaze was heated as she stared fixedly at his handsome features. ¡°Although you don¡¯t know me, I¡¯ve often seen news articles rted to you. I¡¯m Dai Weian. I¡¯m a news reporter. I previously wanted to interview you but it¡¯s a pity you rejected my request. Ie from the same country and city as you do. I truly did not expect to meet you here!¡±
But Bai Qinghao did not let his guard down.. ¡°What on earth is this ce? Why are the people here after each other¡¯s lives?¡±
Chapter 837 - All Is Fair In The Game
Chapter 837: All Is Fair In The Game
Dai Weian responded with a nod. ¡°This ce is located in the Pacific Ocean, near Africa. It doesn¡¯t belong to any country and is considered a red zone. Several international underground gambling dens have upied this ce and started a game. Each season, the ¡®yers¡¯ who participate in this game have to fight with their lives. The final winner will then be rewarded with ten million US dors. The yerse from ces all over the world and are all vicious people. Most of them are guilty of monstrous crimes and have decided to risk their lives for money. As the chances of survival are very low, some participants choose to form groups. Each group can have at most four individuals. When a group wins, prize money is split equally among them.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he frowned. ¡°How many yers are there in each team? How can we leave this ce?¡±
¡°The number of participants varies every time.¡± Dai Weian replied. ¡°Only the organizers know the exact numbers. ¡®Obtaining Victory¡¯ is the only way to leave this ce.¡± She nced towards Fang Xinxin, who was behind Bai Qinghao, in confusion. ¡°I¡¯ve seen her on television. She is your wife, Fang Xinxin. Why are the both of you here?¡±
Bai Qinghao was not only the Sheng Shi Group¡¯s CEO. He was also the Bai family¡¯s only sessor and was one of the richest men on earth.
Fang Xinxin was the Long Group¡¯s director¡¯s granddaughter. She was also the CEO of the Jiao Yang Organization. Her status was just as valuable as Bai Qinghao.
These two individuals did notck money and had no reason to be here.
¡°We were unlucky and passed by.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold to the point where it seemed like frost would form around him any moment.
Dai Weian believed in him. However, she could not help but worry. ¡°CEO Bai, this ce is especially big. There is an abandoned town, a mountain, several rivers andkes¡ I heard that the outskirts are surrounded by electric fences. There are even snipers hidden around. Regardless of your identity, the only way you can leave this ce is by winning this game. Even if you sessfully reach near the outskirts of the ind, there¡¯s still no way you can ovee the ten-meter-tall electric fence. There are snipers waiting for you. ¡®yers¡¯, who give up midway and attempt to run, will simply be killed. As for the gamblers, they always bet a sum of money on the yers they favor. They have too much money to burn. After agreeing to organize this game, they won¡¯t let any news of it slip to the outside world.¡±
¡°In other words, are all our actions being watched?¡± Fang Xinxin was the one who spoke up.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dai Weian nodded. ¡°Everyone whoes in is considered a yer. Perhaps, someone has already betted a sum on the both of you.¡±
¡°How did you manage toe in?¡± Fang Xinxin asked her coldly. ¡°Were you also found guilty of heinous crimes and left without other options?¡±
¡°No.¡± Dai Weian hurriedly exined. ¡°Like I said, I¡¯m a reporter. I¡¯ve been secretly investigating this matter for a long time. It wasn¡¯t easy before I finally made progress. I did not expect them to capture me and bring me here.¡±
She put on a pitiful expression. ¡°I¡¯ve answered all your questions. Earlier, CEO Bai also saved my life. How about we team up?¡±
Bai Qinghao kept his gun away and answered coldly. ¡°There¡¯s no need. You can consider the favor repaid. You can leave now.¡±
¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m a helpless woman. If you make me leave, I¡¯m doomed to die.¡± Her eyes reddened and she appeared on the verge of tears. ¡°My parents only have me. I haven¡¯t repaid them for raising me up.. I don¡¯t wish to die¡¡±

Dai Weian¡¯s eyes were bright and her figure was petite and slender. She appeared just like a pitiful little white rabbit and this enabled her to easily draw affection from the people around her.
Although she was not stunningly gorgeous the way Fang Xinxin was, she was still a proper beauty.
Any other men would have found their hearts breaking at the sight of Dai Weian drowning pitifully in tears.
Bai Qinghao, however, was unmoved. His lips twitched into a light, cold smile. ¡°How long have you survived in this ce?¡±
Dai Weian was confused. Still, she responded while trembling. ¡°Ten days.¡±
¡°An unarmed, helpless woman was able to survive in such harsh circumstances for ten days on her own?¡± It was clear that he did not believe in her words.
¡°CEO Bai, it¡¯s like this.¡± Dai Weian rushed to exin the matter. ¡°While some yers are focusing all their efforts on eliminating all the other yers, I¡¯m trying my best to remain alive. For the past few days, I¡¯ve been quite lucky. In any case, a winning team can have four team members. Even if I join you and your wife, there¡¯ll only be three of us. It isn¡¯t too big of a group.¡±
She further rushed to emphasize her own value. ¡°After surviving here for so long, I have a good understanding of theyout of this ce.¡±
Bai Qinghao did not pay her any attention. Instead, he stepped out of the office and took the backpack from the man he had just killed. He searched through the bag thoroughly.
It was a pity that there was only a half-eaten piece of bread. Aside from the gun in the corpse¡¯s hands, there was nothing else of value.
Bai Qinghao nced at the gun and confirmed that they were of the same model as the one he had. Thus, he took the bullets out and ced them in his pocket.
He then nced at the half-eaten piece of bread in disdain and hesitated whether to take it or not.
Dai Weian rushed to approach his side. ¡°CEO Bai, food is very important here. There aren¡¯t any food sources avable in this ce. At the ¡®start¡¯ of this game, every yer had the option to take three items. Most people chose weapons, bulletproof vests and the like. Very few people chose to take food with them. This is because there were more important things for them to prioritize. The ones who do not have food with them can only obtain it by killing other yers and looting their goods. Of course, you¡¯re entirely free to take whatever to like from the other yers as long as it¡¯s within your ability.¡±
Bai Qinghao returned to the office and nced at the forest nearby. ¡°It should be possible to hunt in the forest.¡±
¡°Even if there are preys, nobody would dare to start a fire. It would attract the other yers¡¯ attention,¡± Dai Weian spoke in worry. She took off her own backpack and unzipped it. To their surprise, it was filled to the brim with food.
There were instant noodles, bread, packaged eggs and packaged pig¡¯s trotters.
They were free to loot any items¡
Bai Qinghao was about to point his gun at Dai Weian when she surrendered first. ¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m willing to share these with the both of you¡¡±
¡°Share?¡± Bai Qinghao lifted his ink-ck brows.
¡°No, no, no. I¡¯ll gift them to you.¡± Dai Weian said gratefully, ¡°Earlier, if it weren¡¯t for you, I would already have been killed. There¡¯s no need to mention the food. Even my life belongs to you now.¡±
¡°I had no intention of saving you.¡± Bai Qinghao shot her a look of disdain. If her pursuer hadn¡¯t directed his gun at him, he wouldn¡¯t have interfered.
¡°No matter what, you are my benefactor.¡± Dai Weian¡¯s gaze was filled with admiration as she spoke to him emotionally. ¡°You¡¯re not just my savior. Despite your young age, you¡¯re outstandingly capable and one of the wealthiest people on earth.. I really admire you.¡±

Those bright eyes of hers as well as the way she had casually licked her lips; it was clear that she was openly seducing Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin, who had been watching silently by the side, smiled. ¡°Miss Dai, please take care not to act like a whore without first checking if the circumstances are suitable.¡±
Dai Weian restrained herself and turned to Fang Xinxin apologetically. ¡°My apologies! CEO Bai is truly too outstanding. I couldn¡¯t control my feelings.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fang Xinxin nced at her backpack. ¡°How did you find all that food? When you first came in, did you only opt for food?¡±
¡°No.¡± Dai Weian responded. ¡°I didn¡¯t sign up voluntarily. I was tossed in here. I didn¡¯t have any weapons or food. For the sake of survival, I had no choice but to loot the corpses I found along the way. I picked this bag up earlier and it was precisely because of that reason, this man pursued me earlier. Thankfully, CEO Bai saved me.¡±
No matter what they talked about, it seemed like Dai Weian was only interested in Bai Qinghao.
¡°Leave the bag behind. You can scram now,¡± Bai Qinghao said.
Dai Weian turned pale. ¡°CEO Bai, if I leave this ce alone, I¡¯ll die.¡±
¡°You were able to survive by yourself for ten days. I believe it won¡¯t be difficult for you to continue doing so.¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere instantly turned cold. ¡°Don¡¯t make me repeat myself, otherwise¡¡±
His gaze were filled with murderous intent.
Dai Weian considered if he would really kill her?
When he reached for the gun in his pocket, she immediately backed away. ¡°Don¡¯t fire. I¡¯ll leave right now!¡±
She headed towards the apartment by the side.
The moment she turned around, her beautiful features twisted with anger.
She had failed to seed at her goal and even had to sacrifice the food she obtained with much difficulty!
However, she would not give up like this!
With a corpse outside the factory, their current location was too eye-catching.
Bai Qinghao quickly checked Dai Weian¡¯s backpack and confirmed that it wasn¡¯t tampered with. He then put the backpack on.
He left the office with Fang Xinxin. They carefully avoided other ¡®yers¡¯ while checking if Ya Lun left any other markings behind.
A figure followed behind them quietly.
Fang Xinxin turned back and saw the pitiful expression which Dai Weian had on.
Bai Qinghao paused in his footsteps. He did not turn around but fired a bullet in her direction.
Thankfully, Dai Weian moved away quickly. The bullet flew past her shoulder and only tore open her clothes. It did not leave her with any injuries.
Her expression was filled with disbelief. It was clear she was unwilling to believe that Bai Qinghao would try to kill her. Was he really such a ruthless man!
Still, she did not dare to follow them anymore.
With Bai Qinghao¡¯s intelligence, it was easy for him to realize that this woman was dangerous.
She was clearly withholding the truth from them.
Taking her with them was akin to carrying a time bomb.
All of a sudden, Dai Weian shouted in agitation. ¡°CEO Bai, on the rooftop!¡±
They looked up to see a sniper hiding in ambush on the rooftop. He was about to direct his gun at them.
Bai Qinghao tugged Fang Xinxin with him as they hurried and hid behind the corner. Soon after, he fired two consecutive shots towards the rooftop.
It wasn¡¯t suitable for him to shift his body forward as it would give the enemy an opportunity to kill him.
Thus, his bullets did not uratelynd on his target and only seeded in warning the opponent off.
A round item smaller than a fist was tossed towards their feet.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin lowered their heads and saw that it was actually a hand grenade!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Both of them immediately rushed into the apartment through the windows.
With a loud noise, the grenade exploded.
Arge fire was immediately ignited and the two apartments by the side appeared on the verge of copse.
Although Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had managed to reach as far as ten steps into the apartment, the ss fragments from the shattered window injured Fang Xinxin¡¯s elbow.
She began to bleed from her wound.
The apartment was on the verge of copse. Outside, there was not only a sniper waiting in ambush but a ¡®yer¡¯ firing towards them.
As they ran out of the apartment, a sedan car appeared out of nowhere. It came to a stop by their sides. Dai Weian opened the door and shouted. ¡°Get in!¡±
Bullets were firing in their direction.
The two of them could not pause to think at this moment and hurriedly climbed in.
Dai Weian stepped on the elerator and the car sped hurriedly out of the factory. She did not take the main road and instead drove straight through the railings to bring them to a small path outside.
Several bulletsnded on the car.
Dai Weian and Fang Xinxin kept their bodies lowered to avoid getting hit.
Bai Qinghao held onto the car handle and leaned half his body out of the window. He then began to fire towards the two ¡®yers¡¯ who were pursuing them on motorbikes.
The bikers pursued them furiously.
The yers clearly did not expect the people in the sedan car to be daring enough to counterattack.
They kept one hand on the bike and another hand on their guns. Thus, they were unable to fire urately.
In a bid to avoid the bullets Bai Qinghao was firing, one of the bikes overturned. The rider was a man with dark skin tone and he was immediately sent flying onto the ground.
Bai Qinghao directed his gun urately at the man¡¯s neck.
To his shock, there were no more bullets left in his gun.
He hurriedly retrieved more from his pocket.
However, in the time it took him to do so, the other biker threw a smoke bomb on the ground to protect hisrade. It was clear that both of them were from the same team.
Bai Qinghao was unbothered by the lost opportunity.
He was not a yer. He only intended to take Fang Xinxin away from this ce safely.
Although Dai Weian imed that winning was the only way to leave this ce, perhaps there were still other alternatives?
Regardless, they needed to at least attempt it.
Besides, the priority right now was locating Ya Lun.
They had taken this trip in the first ce to rescue Ya Lun.
Bai Qinghao did not wish for him to die here.
The car was approaching the foot of a mountain.
Bai Qinghao saw that there was an enormous rock ahead. He said, ¡°Stop the car.¡±
Dai Weian stepped on the brakes reflexively and the car came to a stop.
Bai Qinghao immediately alighted and headed into the backseat. He sat by Fang Xinxin¡¯s side and nudged her sleeves up.
There was a shard of ss lodged into her fair skin.
Her sleeves were nearly soaked in blood.
Bai Qinghao brought out a packet of white powder and poured it on her wound.
This was the medicine they had brought from the helicopter previously. Afternding in the ocean, they had used up a lot of it.
He had kept the remaining with him in case of emergencies.
He did not expect it to be of use right now.
He took in the wound on his wife¡¯s arm and felt his heart bleeding in pain.
Although the wound wasn¡¯t especially deep, he felt that the sight of it was ten times more painful than being stabbed with a knife!
After leaving this damned ce, he would identify all the organizers of this game and ruin them!
Fang Xinxin watched as he nearly dumped all the medicine on her wound. She hurriedly stopped it. ¡°I don¡¯t need that much. We have to save a little.. We might need it again.¡±
Chapter 841 - Leave The Place
Chapter 841: Leave The ce
¡°I won¡¯t let youe to any harm again!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was cold and sharp. His voice was heavy with heartache.
Despite this, when her wound stopped bleeding, he still followed her instructions to save some medicine.
Sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, Dai Weian turned back to look at Fang Xinxin.
Although the wound wasn¡¯t light, Fang Xinxin remained silent.
Dai Weian had expected a fragile, wealthy youngdy like her to be crying in pain. But she didn¡¯t!
Of course, she was not foolish enough to praise Fang Xinxin.
As Bai Qinghao carefully applied the medicine on her, his cold, frigid gaze was unbelievably gentle. This look was unconceble.
With one nce, it was clear that Bai Qinghao loved Fang Xinxin deeply.
Dai Weian originally nned on winning the rewards from this game and living afortable life for the rest of her lifetime.
Bai Qinghao, however, was one of the wealthiest people on this earth. What did the reward money count for, inparison?
It was public knowledge that this man was generous. When he wanted to gift Fang Xinxin with a new car, he directly bought ten for her. Even the cheapest was worth five hundred thousand dors.
Hence, she changed her mind and decided that seducing Bai Qinghao would be most favorable for her.
Right now, Fang Xinxin was a serious eyesore.
However, in this ce where lives were easily lost, wasn¡¯t it more than easy to kill Fang Xinxin?
She could even push the responsibility onto other yers.
It could definitely be done without anyone¡¯s knowledge.
Dai Weian carefully cooked up a scheme. On the surface, however, her expression was filled with concern. ¡°Miss Fang, Mr. Bai really dotes on you a lot.¡±
She scanned their surroundings. ¡°Our car is the only one here. No matter if we head up the mountain or remain here, if someone appears, we¡¯ll easily be a target.¡±
In other words, she was implying that Fang Xinxin had implicated them.
Bai Qinghao naturally understood the meaning of her words. He red at her harshly. ¡°Fucking scram!¡±
Dai Weian jerked in fright. ¡°CEO Bai, I just saved the both of you¡ Don¡¯t chase me away. We¡¯re currently far from the town. Although there are very few yers remaining, all of the survivors are extremely capable. If you leave me here, I¡¯ll starve to death.¡±
Bai Qinghao paused a little at her words. He scanned the mountains around them. There were no signs of life around them.
Both of them were unsure about how to get around this ce.
This woman, however, imed to have been here for days. She was much more familiar with the road here.
They needed someone to guide them.
After bandaging Fang Xinxin¡¯s wound, he pressed the barrel of his gun against Dai Weian¡¯s forehead. ¡°Drive. Bring us to the entrance of this game.¡±
After leaving this ce, he would gather his men to ruin this ce.
He trusted he would simrly be able to find Ya Lun that way.
¡°CEO Bai, one end of the game¡¯s map includes the ocean. There is only one harbor here. Anyone is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave. Even if you try to leave by sea, you¡¯ll be shot to death by the organizers from the air. You¡¯re doomed to die that way.¡± Dai Weian spoke up in worry.
Bai Qinghao thought about the wooden boat that had brought them here. It had been blown apart along with that foreign man.
It seemed like Dai Weian was not lying about this.
¡°Head to the other end of the map.¡± Bai Qinghao frowned.
Dai Weian had no choice but to follow his instruction.
At the border, a ten meter tall electric fence had been erected. It fully enclosed all the yers in the defined space..
Chapter 842 - Shameless!
Chapter 842: Shameless!
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
When Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin alighted the car to this sight, they were both astonished for a moment.
It seemed like the organizers had invested a lot of money into this game.
At the bottom of the fence, there was a burnt corpse. From the position of the corpse, it seemed like the man had attempted to climb up the fence while he was alive. His desire to escape was clear. It was a pity he had been electrocuted and burned alive.
Dai Weian got out of the car and approached Bai Qinghao¡¯s side. ¡°CEO Bai, look at that corpse¡¡±
Bai Qinghao noticed a rabbit nearby. He fired a bullet at it and the rabbit immediately died.
He picked up the rabbit¡¯s body and tossed it at the electric fence. The moment the rabbit came into contact with the fence, it¡¯s body began burning from being electrocuted. Even its bones appeared to melt immediately at the contact.
If they climbed the electric fence, they would likely end up the same way.
Furthermore, there were even snipers waiting in ambush outside the fence.
It seemed like winning was indeed the only way they could leave this ce.
¡°CEO Bai, let¡¯s leave first. This ce is really unsafe¡¡± Dai Weian nced at the electric fence around thirty meters away and felt genuinely fearful.
¡°Drive.¡± Bai Qinghao instructed. Saying so, he climbed into the backseat with Fang Xinxin.
At their current location, there were several cars parked by the sides of the apartments nearby. There were also bikes and vans around them.
Dai Weian happily climbed into the driver¡¯s seat. She turned back to ask. ¡°CEO Bai, where are we headed to?¡±
Since he was letting her drive, it had to mean that he believed in her, didn¡¯t he?
Bai Qinghao was in fact toozy to sit in the driver¡¯s seat she had sat on and to touch the steering wheel which she had used. ¡°Wherever.¡±
Dai Weian drove past a grassy area and onto a small path leading into the forest. She came to a stop in a front yard and scanned the surroundings. ¡°It seems like there isn¡¯t anyone here.¡±
There was an abandoned, two-storey apartment here.
The three of them alighted and carefully checked the apartment. After ensuring that the apartment was empty, they finally rxed a little.
For the organizers and the wealthy gamblers, this was but an interesting gamble.
For the ¡®yers¡¯ in this horrid ce however, they were facing actual risks of losing their lives.
¡°CEO Bai, what do we do now?¡± Dai Weian asked with a frightened expression. ¡°Could it be that our only option is to kill the other yers and to obtain freedom?¡±
¡°It seems like there are no other options.¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes coldly.
For him, it was not a difficult matter to obtain victory.
¡°CEO Bai, I¡¯m so afraid. Could you protect me please?¡± Dai Weian appeared just like a frightened rabbit. Her eyes were even welling up with tears.
If any other men were in this situation, they would definitely embrace her tofort her. Then, they would roll in bed together¡
Perhaps, Bai Qinghao had the same idea.
He likely could not do so freely because of Fang Xinxin.
She nced at the silent Fang Xinxin and found her more of an eyesore than ever.
Bai Qinghao ignored Dai Weian. He held Xinxin¡¯s hand to head out. ¡°Let¡¯s head into the forest outside.¡±
Dai Weian watched as they left. A hint of viciousness shed past her pitiful expression.
Fang Xinxin had better not end up being stranded alone. Otherwise¡
Her life would end right there!
¡°CEO Bai, wait for me.¡± She rushed to follow them.
Why were they heading to the forest? It had to be for the sake of doing something shameless. Fang Xinxin, that undisciplined woman! To think she was seducing Bai Qinghao right now. She was truly shameless!
She would follow them to stop them.
In the forest, there were a lot of overgrown bushes and dried up tree branches.
Chapter 843 - Start A Fire
Chapter 843: Start A Fire
Fang Xinxin leaned against a tree and waited idly.
Meanwhile, Bai Qinghao began to collect dried tree branches.
Dai Weian followed them into the forest and saw that they were not doing anything out of line. Her expression became a little better.
¡°CEO Bai, why are you collecting tree branches?¡± Although Dai Weian was confused by his actions, she still approached his side to help him.
As she leaned in closer, the thick stench of a man¡¯s odor filled his nose.
Of course, the stench was not her body¡¯s natural odor.
However, it was clinging onto her.
Bai Qinghao did not have to think to understand that she had sold her body and slept with countless men in order to survive the past ten days.
¡°Scram further away!¡± He shouted coldly. His sharp gaze was filled with disgust and disdain.
Dai Weian stiffened. She had yet to use any of her schemes. To think he wouldn¡¯t even allow her the opportunity to approach him¡
Normally, men were always weak in front of her. Faced with this situation, Dai Weian could not help but feel seriously set back.
¡°I¡¯ll help you collect the tree branches.¡± She spoke softly and began picking them from the ground.
Therge pile of tree branches were tied up into a bundle with vines.
She nced at Fang Xinxin, who was leaning against the tree. It seemed like Fang Xinxin had no intentions of joining in. ¡°Miss Fang, why aren¡¯t you helping?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you see that my arm is injured?¡± She pointed to the wound on her left arm.
Dai Weian approached her side with arge bundle of tree branches in her arms. ¡°Say, why is CEO Bai collecting these?¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid of the cold.¡± Fang Xinxin lifted her head to see that the sky was gradually turning dark.
As the sun began to set, every so often, the cry of a wolf could be heard from deep within the forest. The trees also rustled with the wind and the atmosphere was especially eerie.
Bai Qinghao collected two bundles of tree branches. He held one in each hand and returned to the yard with Fang Xinxin.
Dai Weian followed after him. She ced her pile of tree branches on top of his.
Bai Qinghao opened the backpack. He retrieved a piece of bread and a bottle of water and handed them Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin opened the packet of bread and dug in. Bai Qinghao followed her.
¡°CEO Bai¡¡± The sight left Dai Weian salivating. ¡°Could you share some with me? It¡¯s been a day since Ist ate.¡±
His sharp gazended onto her.
It was clear he was unmoved by her words.
Dai Weian was internally angered by his rejection. The food in the bag was clearly hers! He had merely taken it from her.
She did not mind sharing with him.
However, it was one matter that he wasn¡¯t giving her any. To think that he even gave some to Fang Xinxin!
Right now, considering the risks they were facing, food was especially precious. It was also important to remain alive!
Fang Xinxin finished her dinner and brought a lighter out from her backpack. She retrieved some of the dried up tree branches and piled them up on the ground. Soon, she lit a few tree branches and ced them on the pile.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Dai Weian was bbergasted. She rushed to stomp the fire out. ¡°No matter how cold you are, you can¡¯t start a fire! The smoke will attract the other ¡®yers¡¯!¡±
Fang Xinxin shoved her aside and continued adding branches into the pile. ¡°Scram aside.¡±
This woman reeked of an unpleasant scent.
Dai Weian was infuriated by her anger. She turned to Bai Qinghao. ¡°CEO Bai, did you really collect those branches to start a fire for her? I thought you meant toy on them to sleep. It¡¯s too dangerous to start a fire. You can¡¯t indulge her like this¡¡±
It would be best if Bai Qinghao chased this stupid woman away. This way, she would be able to spend intimate time with Bai Qinghao alone..
Chapter 844 - Confession
Chapter 844 - Confession
"Shut up," Bai Qinghao snapped. His intimidating aura left Dai Weian trembling.
She did not dare to open her mouth again.
She nced at Bai Qinghao, who was several steps away. He was tall and broad-shouldered, and his muscles were especially firm. Apanied with his charming features, he was truly a very attractive man.
His appearance was not the only thing that attracted her to him. He was also very wealthy.
Dai Weian dearly wished that she could pounce on Bai Qinghao.
However, he appeared to dislike anyone''s approach and it seemed as though he could kill with his eyes alone.
After spending a day with them, she finally understood.
In a dangerous ce like this, he would keep Fang Xinxin by his side no matter where he went.
Even when Fang Xinxin left to use the restroom, he would guard by her side several steps away.
It wouldn''t be that easy trying to separate them.
Dai Weian did not wish to waste any more time. She deliberated over it for a moment and began to speak emotionally to Bai Qinghao over the fire. "CEO Bai, I''ve admired you for a long time." Her gaze was filled with love and a few hints of disappointment. "When I was young, I always focused on studying. After graduating, my life was also dominated with work. I''ve never dated anyone. However, ever since I saw your photo on the news, my heart has been filled with you. After being tossed into this horrid ce, I had thought I would never be able to confess my feelings to you."
She paused for a moment before her eyes appeared to light up. "I didn''t expect that I would have the opportunity to meet you here. I even saved your life. Perhaps, God is sympathizing with me for my deep feelings for you. Even if I can''t leave this ce alive, I would be honored to die with you here."
Fang Xinxin listened to her emotional confession by the side. Her expression was filled with mockery. "Bai Qinghao, not bad. To think that there''''ll be rotten women pursuing you even in this fucking ce. How about it? You must be moved to death, aren''t you?"
Bai Qinghao summarized it with two simple words. "I''m disgusted."
Fang Xinxin shrugged towards Dai Weian. "Whore, your attempt to seduce my husband failed. What now?"
"What did you call me?" Dai Weian was infuriated.
She wanted to p Fang Xinxin but noticed Bai Qinghao''s dark gaze and immediately cowered down. She changed her mind and decided to speak sadly. "Miss Fang, I don''t wish to seduce your husband. It''s just that, I''ve never been in love. I really don''t wish to die without even managing to confess my feelings."
"So." Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. "You decided to pretend as if I was dead?"
"I¡" She responded carefully. "I just don''t wish to have any regrets."
She peeked at Bai Qinghao''s expression. She had thought he would appear to be moved at least slightly. To her surprise, he was expressionless. Instead, he asked mockingly. "When did you save me?"
"This morning, at the abandoned factory, I drove the car to take both of you away while you were being pursued by those two men¡" Dai Weian remembered this very well.
"You sure know how to pretend to be a good person." Bai Qinghao was expressionless. "Don''t forget, this morning at the factory, if it hadn''t been for me, you would already have been dead."
"True! Hence, I can only repay you by offering myself." As Dai Weian spoke, her beautiful face suddenly turned suspiciously red. "CEO Bai, I''m still innocent¡ If I could offer my innocence to you, I would die without any regrets."
She was certain that all men preferred this type of woman. It didn''t matter that her innocence had been lost years ago.
A lie like this was very useful.
Besides, considering her schemes, how could she possibly fail to hold onto Bai Qinghao after they were intimate?
Chapter 845 - Exposing The Weak Schemes
Chapter 845 - Exposing The Weak Schemes
A hint of amusement appeared in Fang Xinxin''s eyes. "How about I give you both some space?"
Dai Weian suddenly felt that Fang Xinxin was quite tactful. "In that case, I really have to thank Older Sister Fang."
"Dumbass, how old are you?"
"26." Truthfully, Dai Weian was thirty years old this year. She was iming to be four years younger than she truly was.
"I''m only twenty-two." Fang Xinxin nced at her meaningfully. "Based on your appearance alone, one would think you were an old woman in your thirties. Don''t you feel ashamed about addressing me as ''Older Sister''?"
Truthfully, she felt that thirty years old was the age when most women looked the most beautiful. Some women could even pass off as young adults at that age.
However, she could not appease the annoyance in her heart without addressing this Dai one as an ''old woman''.
"¡" Dai Weian''s expression turned poor for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before saying. "I''m only twenty six years old this year.The words ''old woman'' aren''t suitable for me."
If it wasn''t for the sake of Bai Qinghao, would she suffer this much grievance from Fang Xinxin?
When the opportunity arrived, she would kill Fang Xinxin and push the responsibility onto other yers.
Bai Qinghao wrapped one arm around Fang Xinxin''s thin shoulders and spoke in heartache. "My wife, don''t lower yourself to her level. I won''t touch anyone aside from you. Besides¡"
He nced at Dai Weian in disdain and seemed to find her too dirty for his eyes. "This woman is full of lies. Who knows what she has been doing since she arrived here? For the past ten days, she must have relied on ''apanying'' other yers to survive. She is as dirty as anyone could possibly be. You have to forgive her for her shameless attempt at seducing me."
"That makes sense." Fang Xinxin nodded.
Dai Weian was in disbelief. "CEO Bai, how could you say that about me! I''m clearly still innocent¡"
"Stop pretending." Fang Xinxin waved her hand impatiently. "Your body is covered with the stench of countless men. It''s especially smelly. Even I can smell it on you. Bai Qinghao''s nose is even sharper than mine. You can''t fool him."
"¡" When Dai Weian heard this, she instantly turned pale.
All of a sudden, she was in tears with a pitiful expression. She sniffled and said bitterly, "CEO Bai, you have to believe me. I was left with no choice. Just as you said, I had to do it for the sake of surviving. No matter what, though you saved my life first, I still took the risk to save both of you. It was due to my effort that you were able to ovee that dangerous situation."
"Enough." Bai Qinghao exposed herzily. "I''ve long seen through your weak schemes. The two foreigners who pursued us this morning were clearly affiliated with you."
She was in shock. "CEO Bai, have you misunderstood something?"
Bai Qinghao smiled coldly. "Why don''t you exin it to me then? The two yers fired countless bullets towards both of us but not a single shot was directed at you. Why was that so?"
"I¡" Dai Weian did not expect him to be sharp enough to notice this.
"You can''t answer me?" Bai Qinghao fired at her. "That''s because you belong to the same team as them. You were also the one who brought them to that factory."
Dai Weian was bbergasted. She immediately felt the urge to run away. However, as she took in Bai Qinghao''s charming features, she could not bring herself to leave this wealthy opportunity behind. She decided to struggle for thest time.
She gritted her teeth and admitted. "Yes. It''s true that I led them there. I''m a helpless woman. I don''t have the ability to protect myself. In these harsh circumstances, I can only survive by obeying them."
She began to cry miserably. "I didn''t wish to be humiliated by them. But I had no other choice. They didn''t treat me like a human. Instead, they used me as a living target. They made me run ahead to attract other yers'' attack. Then, they shot those yers from the back.. I was truly left with no other option."
Chapter 846 - Scheme Upon Scheme
Chapter 846 - Scheme Upon Scheme
Truthfully, those two foreigners could not bear to use her as a live target.
Back when she was at the abandoned town, she had identally noticed Bai Qinghao.
For the sake of approaching him, she volunteered to be a live target to attract other yers'' attention. She had hoped Bai Qinghao would save her, and also lower his guard in this manner. Eventually, she would be able to offer her body to him.
She originally thought that after Bai Qinghao rescued her in the abandoned factory, her ns would seed. However, this man was impossible to seduce. All her attempts were futile.
Bai Qinghao''s gaze was filled with disdain and disgust for her. "Your shamelessness is truly on a different level altogether. If you were truly made to act as a living target for ten days, you would already have died. You cooperated with other yers to kill us, yet you dare to im that you saved us. If you were really forced to do this, you could have said so from the moment you met us. There was no need to lie for so long. It seems like you don''t wish to sever your ties with those yers before sessfully fooling us. Is it fun being an opportunist?"
"I was just afraid you would misunderstand me. That''s why I didn''t dare to admit it¡" Dai Weian was in tears as she reached into her pocket. She decided to wait for an opportunity to shoot down both of them.
Since Bai Qinghao refused to recognise her worth, she could only send him to hell!
Fang Xinxin nced at her tears. "Quit your crying act. Who are you trying to convince with those tears? It''s true we needed you to bring us around in the daytime. You really saved us a lot of trouble. But right now¡"
Dai Weian brought her gun out and was about to point it at Fang Xinxin''s chest.
However, Bai Qinghao was one step ahead. He whipped out his gun and fired directly at her head, killing her instantly.
Dai Weian''s eyes widened in shock. She truly could not believe that things were over for her this quickly.
She copsed onto the ground with her eyes wide open. Blood sttered onto the ground from her wound.
Fang Xinxin snatched the gun from her hand and checked her breath. She was no longer breathing.
At this moment, the fire was growing stronger and smoke was filling the air.
Bai Qinghao lifted Dai Weian''s body and used a pile of branches to support her corpse. This way, it appeared as though she was sitting in front of the fire. He then continued Fang Xinxin''s words from earlier. "Right now, we need a ''target'' too."
After speaking, both Fang Xinxin and him walked away from the fire. They waited in ambush behind a tree nearby.
The fire gradually grew stronger.
From afar, it appeared as though someone was seated in the yard to have a barbeque in the dark.
Two motorbikes drove into the forest. They had seen the smoke rising up the air from afar.
As the rumble of their bikes was especially loud, the two foreigners abandoned their bikes a good distance from the fire. They then jogged into the forest.
Their goal was clear as they proceeded. They noticed the abandoned home and snuck in from the back.
When they realized that there was someone before the fire, they immediately pointed their guns towards that person.
At the same time, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin each pointed their guns directly at the heads of the two ''yers''.
Both men were killed instantly.
These two had outstanding shooting skills.
The two foreigners copsed onto the ground with a cry. One of them appeared to have realized that Dai Weian was dead. He murmured softly. "Weian¡" as he crawled one step forward before he stopped breathing.
In an instant, the two men, who had pursued them in the morning, were dead.
Dai Weian had assumed that Fang Xinxin had started a fire for warmth, but how could she possibly have made such a foolish mistake?
A fire would expose them and attract danger!
Chapter 847 - Once And For All
Chapter 847 - Once And For All
It could simrly attract their enemies and give them an opportunity to kill them.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin followed the markings that Ya Lun left behind and searched the area. However, they still could not locate him.
The game epassed an extremelyrge space. It was too difficult and risky to look for someone here.
Based on Ya Lun''s skills, surviving this game wasn''t a problem for him.
Rather than searching for him, perhaps it would be better to attract his attention.
During the day, Dai Weian had brought them on a long journey by car, yet they did not find anyone along the way.
That meant most of the ''yers'' were already dead.
The two of them remained in ambush in the dark. They nned on attracting more yers and eliminating all of them, so as to leave this game.
For the next four to five hours, Bai Qinghao returned to the yard several times to add more branches to the fire. The fire burned strongly through the night.
Soon, it was the next day.
Both of them patiently remained in ambush in the best position, perched high on the tree.
A sedan car drove into the forest and headed straight for the fire.
All of a sudden, the driver appeared to have noticed something. The car reversed and turned around to leave.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin guessed that the opponent must have left after realizing that this fire was made on purpose to attract enemies.
Still, all the yers here needed to obtain victory. Even if they knew that this was a trap, they would definitely pursue people here.
They would simply do so with a different method.
Sure enough, in an hour, Bai Qinghao noticed someone making his way up the mountain from the slope behind the apartment through his binocrs.
The binocrs could be switched to night vision. He watched as the opponent held his own binocrs to scan the three corpses in the yard.
Bai Qinghao spoke softly into Fang Xinxin''s ears.
The two of them silently moved and hid behind an especially big tree. This way, even if the opponent searched for them, he wouldn''t be able to discover their location.
The opponent was clearly very patient. Despite realizing that there were people in the yard, he did not fire his gun and reveal his location.
Bai Qinghao waited for him to descend the slope.
He needed the opponent to move closer before he could take him down.
Another person quietly snuck into the forest. He made his way near the apartment and immediately threw a hand grenade into the first and second storey of the apartment.
With two loud mors, the abandoned house copsed from the force of the explosion.
Thankfully, they did not choose to hide on the rooftop. Otherwise, they would have been doomed.
Bai Qinghao considered killing the yer with a bomb.
However, this would reveal his location.
There was still someone waiting in ambush on the slope behind the apartment.
He deliberated over this and decided not to fire his gun for Xinxin''s safety.
Clearly, the sniper on the slope was losing patience. He shot the yer who had thrown the grenades to death in an instant.
Bai Qinghao could not help but feel a little frustrated that he did not have ess to a rifle.
Otherwise, he could easily take out that yer without revealing himself.
Later into the night, the fire extinguished on its own.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin remained unmoving in their positions.
This was because the sniper was still there. He was also waiting in ambush.
Both parties were on high alert. It was clear they were both aware that there were yers still alive on the other side and were waiting to see who would lose patience first.
At 6:30 in the morning.
The sniper appeared to have discovered something. He began to wave his arms as though in greeting.
He then hurriedly descended the slope.
As he approached, Bai Qinghao was able to point his gun urately at him.
However, he did not fire.
Although Fang Xinxin did not have a pair of binocrs, she also noticed the sniper hurrying towards them all of a sudden.
Chapter 848 - Finally Reunited
Chapter 848 - Finally Reunited
Was this person throwing his life away?
He was especially eye-catching with the way he ran down the mountain and could easily be taken down.
However, with the way he was waving his arms as he ran, Fang Xinxin became certain that this was Ya Lun.
As expected, when he reached closer, Fang Xinxin got a clear view of his face and confirmed that he was the fair-haired and blue-eyed idiot, Ya Lun. It was no wonder that Bai Qinghao did not fire.
"Boss, did youe to rescue me? I''m so moved!" Ya Lun stood by the destroyed home and shouted in agitation. "Where are you? Come out! I''m so afraid!"
There were several holes on Ya Lun''s clothes. He was trembling from the cold morning air.
He appeared just like a bright, harmless boy.
Fang Xinxin''s body had grown stiff from enduring a long period of wait. When she saw that it was a friend, she sighed in relief.
She climbed down the tree andnded on the ground with unstable feet.
Bai Qinghao quickly jumped down after her and supported her.
"Boss, it''s really you!" Ya Lun noticed their movements. He immediately held his rifle up against his shoulder and began running towards them. "Uu, I''m so moved! You actually came to rescue me personally!"
His gaze was filled with grievance as he ran towards Bai Qinghao with both arms open. It was as though he was asking for an embrace.
"Scram!" Bai Qinghao snapped coldly in anger. "Are you fucking blind? I made such arge sign on the wall. Couldn''t you see it?"
He had chosen this scheme of attracting his target out of its cave in order to avoid harming Ya Lun by ident.
Thus, he made a sign that only the both of them could understand.
In the end, this dumbass still hid in ambush for an entire night!
As the distance was toorge, he could not tell if it was Ya Lun.
Thus, both of them could only remain in their positions the entire time.
Ya Lun appeared apologetic. "Boss, I truly did not expect you to personallye and rescue me from this horrid ce, so I didn''t pay any attention to the sign you made. I only noticed it when daylight came. I can''t believe that you came up with such a smart method. Boss, you''re truly a genius. Why didn''t I think of this?"
Bai Qinghao''s expression was heavy and cold. "I didn''te to rescue you."
"In that case, why did you end up here?"
"I was passing by." The man''s voice was emotionless.
Ya Lun refused to believe that his boss would pass by such a ce. It was both uninhabited and difficult to find. He spoke with certainty. "You must havee to save me. Don''t be shy. For the past eleven days, I''ve been pursuing all the ''yers'' left and right in an attempt to kill them. Even locating one down was exhausting."
He paused for a moment before continuing energetically. "After suffering so much, I truly did not expect you to personallye looking for me. I''m really too moved!"
Fang Xinxin stood by Bai Qinghao''s side. She nced at Ya Lun coldly. "In that case, how about you repay him with your body?"
"Of course I would¡" Ya Lun took in Bai Qinghao''s frigid cold expression. "Our boss isn''t interested in that. I wouldn''t even dare to consider it. Of course, I would be willing to offer my life to Boss anytime he desires."
Bai Qinghao asked him coldly. "Didn''t you go missing in Mo Jia La Ind? How did you end up here?"
"I was kidnapped by the people from the Dark Moon Organisation." Ya Lun replied gloomily. "They failed to kidnap Xinxin and decided to kidnap me to threaten you.. However, they soon found out that both of you fell into the sea on your way to rescue me."
Chapter 849 - Dark Moon
Chapter 849 - Dark Moon
"I truly could not believe the news. I was sure that they were lying to me!" Ya Lun appeared miserable as he spoke further. "They went ahead and locked me up for a period. After confirming that the Bai family had failed to locate the both of you, they went on a search themselves. However, they could not even find your remains. In the end, they deemed that both of you were dead. By that point, there was no use in keeping me captive. Thus, they threw me here in hopes that I would die in this game."
Ya Lun was deeply moved. He stared at Bai Qinghao and tears began to well up in his eyes. "Boss, I truly did not expect you to still be alive. Uu¡ If you and your wife had truly died for me, I would have to live in regret for the rest of my life¡"
"Enough. What is a big man like you crying like this?" Bai Qinghao frowned deeply.
"I''m just too moved¡" Ya Lun sobbed.
For some reason, he appeared just like a little wife that had been bullied, to Fang Xinxin.
Haha, she did not expect the capable second hand to have such an adorable side.
Bai Qinghao scanned their surroundings carefully. "How many more yers are remaining?"
When Ya Lun heard this, he responded. "There should only be one."
"You''re certain?"
Ya Lun stepped into the destroyed home. The yer he had shotid in there.
There were two other foreign men, as well as¡ Dai Weian
Thetter three individuals were killed with a single, fatal shot. There was no need to question it. It was definitely his boss''s work.
Ya Lun nced at the corpse on the ground with some pity. "That''s Dai Weian. I kind of miss her now that she''s dead."
"Oh?" Bai Qinghao lifted his brows with some interest.
"Dai Weian was initially in a team with me. She was beautiful and was willing to suffer as a couple with me in this horrid ce. It''s only natural that I epted her." Ya Lun nced at Dai Weian''s pale skin. "Having her in this circumstance made the entire experience quite exciting, especially with the danger lurking around. However, she felt that I was strong enough alone and decided to betray me. She then teamed up with three other criminals who had previouslymitted serious offenses. I have to admit that her decision was wise. Her entire team was the strongest in this game. They were basically invincible. I''ve watched them kill countless participants. It''s a pity that I wasn''t strong enough to deal with them and could only watch them from afar."
"After she formed a team with them, I''ve been following her. I realized that she relied mostly on her body to remain in a favorable position in her team. In the end, because she was far too charming, two of her teammates fought over her and one of them left the team."
Ya Lun nced at the two dead bodies near Dai Weian''s corpse. "Boss, you''re amazing. You actually killed all three members of Dai Weian''s team. I haven''t been able to do anything against them. You''re still the most capable."
Bai Qinghao''s expression was cold. He was unmoved by Ya Lun''s admiration. "Are you certain that victory is the only way to leave this team?"
"Yes." Ya Lub nodded. "This subordinate has already investigated the three incidents of ambush which you have gone through over the past few years. I looked into Li Bingpan and confirmed that the instructions were given by the head of the Dark Moon Organisation."
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. "I''ve nevere across this organization. Who would have thought it would be them? Exactly how did I offend the head of the Dark Moon Organisation?"
He smiled coldly.. "Nevermind. When I leave this ce, I will ruin Dark Moon as well!"
Chapter 850 - Last Player Standing
Chapter 850 - Last yer Standing
This tone was cold and the atmosphere instantly turned eerie. It was as though the God of Death himself was descending and he would leave no one alive!
Ya Lun nodded. "Alright, Boss. When we leave this ce, we''ll immediately destroy ''Dark Moon''."
"In that case." Bai Qinghao said expressionlessly, "You. Hurry up and drag the final yer out."
"Boss¡" Ya Lun''s bright and charming expression instantly turned bitter. "Ever since that yer left Dai Weian''s team, I''ve secretly observed him on several asions. He has been consistently choosing to escape whenever hees into contact with another yer. He hasn''t fired a single shot since. I suspect that he ns to wait for all the yers to kill each other before iming victory for himself. I haven''t seen him in a long time. Last night, the smoke from the fire you started was extremely eye-catching yet he didn''t appear. That indicates that he has been hiding and won''te out by his own initiative."
"Why do you have so much to say? Go and look for him! Shoot him to death the very instant you see him!" Impatience shed past Bai Qinghao''s expression.
"Oh." Ya Lun nodded. He made it past three steps before he turned back. "What about you, Boss?"
"I''ll naturally apany my precious wife." Bai Qinghao wrapped his arm around Fang Xinxin''s shoulder and watched her lovingly. "My wife, what do you wish to have for breakfast?"
"Let''s hunt down some wild animals." Fang Xinxin responded. "We''ve been eating bread all this while. Let''s have something different."
Bai Qinghao nodded. He instructed Ya Lun on where to meet them and left for the forest to hunt for rabbits. He went to the riverside to skin the rabbits and clean the meat. Finally, he made skewers with tree branches and returned to the destroyed apartment to start a fire and barbecue the meat¡
Ya Lun first drove his motorbike around the forest. Soon after, he visited the abandoned town and finally the abandoned factories¡
On the first day, his efforts did not pay off.
In the next two days, he began to search all the other ces. Still, he could not locate thest remaining ''yer''.
On the third day, he even began to look between the bushes, on the rooftops and in the gaps betweenrge rocks¡
He searched everywhere but the man remained nowhere to be found.
Within the boundaries of the game, there was an abandoned home built on the slope of the mountain.
Bai Qinghao cleaned the space up and stayed there with Fang Xinxin for three days.
This was because there wasn''t any corpse in this ce. Furthermore, there was a river by the side of the home and they could ess it easily for drinking water.
"Boss!" Ya Lun stepped into the home and saw that Bai Qinghao was standing before the window to take in the scenery outside. He trembled slightly and said, "This subordinate has searched for three days but I truly could not locate that person. I even started fires everywhere I went, in hope of luring him out. There''s no way he didn''t see the smoke. It''s possible that he doesn''t ever n oning out of hiding. What do we do now? If he remains hidden, considering how big this ce is, even if we spend a year looking for him, we may never locate him. Are we going to remain trapped here, then?"
Bai Qinghao lifted his hand and pointed at an old-fashioned, handheld loudspeaker in the corner of the room. "Pick that up and use it."
Ya Lun approached the corner and picked it up in confusion. "Boss, I don''t understand what you mean."
"He must know that there are three of us remaining here. Tell him that we''ll take him as the fourth member of our team." Bai Qinghao''s fingers tapped against the window frame. "Since the four of us are a team, there''s no need to kill each other. We can leave this game together."
"This subordinate understands. I''ll immediately use this to convey the message to him." Ya Lun ran out in excitement.
Bai Qinghao instructed him heavily. "Be careful. He might pretend to agree for an opportunity to kill you."
Chapter 851 - Rules Of The Game
Chapter 851: Rules Of The Game
Ya Lun did not expect to receive Bai Qinghao¡¯s stern look.
He hesitated in embarrassment and got into the sedan car parked next to the house. He drove around the ce while shouting into the loudspeaker intermittently. ¡°Hey! Come out, final yer! There are three of us in a team. We¡¯ll let you join as the fourth member to share the winnings!¡±
Since he knew that thest yer was a European man, he spoke in English.
He spent nearly half a day driving through the ce and yelling into the loudspeaker.
Finally, a muscr, bald foreign man carefully poked his head out from behind a rock.
Ya Lun noticed immediately and parked his car a few meters away. He waved his arms in excitement. ¡°Hi! Comrade, let¡¯s form a team and stop killing each other. We¡¯ll split the winnings equally. Besides, after leaving this game, you may also have the opportunity to work for my boss. He is one of the wealthiest men on earth. Your future is bright!¡±
¡°That sounds quite tempting.¡± The bald man shrunk back with a gun in his hands. ¡°To prove your sincerity, throw your gun away and alight from your car!¡±
Ya Lun deliberated for a moment before alighting. He tossed his gun into the car and raised both his hands. ¡°Hi,rade. My boss is Bai Qinghao. Ten million USD are but peanuts to him. We can give all the reward to you. All we wish to do is to leave this horrible ce!¡±
After hearing this, the bald man said, ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. I ept your suggestion.¡±
He stepped out from behind the rock. Ya Lun nced at the gun in his hand. ¡°Comrade, you can throw your gun away too.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± The man moved as though to toss his gun away. In the next moment, however, he began firing relentlessly at Ya Lun.
Thankfully, Ya Lun responded fast. He rolled forward and avoided the bullets before hiding behind a slope by the roadside. He brought out his other gun from his pocket and began firing towards the bald man. ¡°Hey, Comrade, didn¡¯t you say we¡¯re forming a team? How could you fire your gun at me?¡±
¡°Are you truly dumb or are you pretending to be dumb?¡± The bald man spoke in English. ¡°ording to the rules, aside from the teams we formed when we first joined the game, yers are not allowed to form other teams midway through the game. You, your boss and your boss¡¯s wife joined the game midway and are not allowed to form a team together. In the end, only one of us can leave this game alive!¡±
¡°What!¡± Ya Lun was astonished.
The bald man threw a grenade over. Ya Lun immediately ran out from the hiding ce and the man took the opportunity to fire at him, hitting his arm.
Ya Lun fell onto the ground and rolled into the drain by the roadside.
The man immediately charged forward in hopes of firing several more shots. However, he did not know that Bai Qinghao was watching him with a sniper rifle in the mountains. He easily killed him with a shot to his head.
Ya Lun watched as the bald man died. Right after, he closed his eyes peacefully.
His blood dyed the water in the drain red.
A sedan car was parked on the mountain.
Bai Qinghao stood in front of the car. As the wind blew past them, he appeared strong and powerful.
Fang Xinxin stood by his side to whisper. ¡°Hubby, we¡¯re the only ones left in this game now.¡±
¡°Earlier, I watched Ya Lun speaking with that bald man through the binocrs.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s voice was cold and heavy. ¡°Although I couldn¡¯t hear them, I understood the words through their lip movements. It seems like participants who join midway through the game cannot form groups.¡±
Fang Xinxin immediately understood. She frowned. ¡°In other words, between the two of us, only one can leave this ce alive..¡±
Chapter 852 - Stabbed
Chapter 852 - Stabbed
Bai Qinghao nodded with a heavy expression.
Fang Xinxin said subconsciously, "You should live."
"My wife¡" Bai Qinghao was especially moved by these words.
She was his everything. How could he possibly bear for her to die?
"Use this." Fang Xinxin retrieved a dagger from her bag and handed it to him. She watched him with her bright gaze. "Kill me with this. I don''t wish to be shot by a gun. It''ll hurt a lot."
Bai Qinghao received the dagger and returned her gaze deeply. He spoke heavily. "Alright."
Fang Xinxin''s eyes were nearly welling up in tears. "Before we leave, let me embrace you again."
Bai Qinghao embraced her tightly, pressing her small figure into his arms. He murmured softly. "My wife¡"
She leaned her head against his shoulder and savored his warm hug.
All of a sudden, her eyes snapped open. A dagger was stabbed into her abdomen. Bai Qinghao''s hand was wrapped around the other end of the dagger.
Bright red blood was pouring out of her wound which stained her clothes red.
She held the dagger with one hand as she slowly slid down against his body¡ She copsed onto the ground andid on her side. Her eyes then gradually fell shut.
Bai Qinghao''s expression was filled with pain. He said in a somber tone, "I''m sorry!"
"Congrattions, yer! You have won the ten million dor prize money!" An automated voice could be heard loudly across the entire ind.
Perhaps there were wires buried beneath the ground or perhaps loudspeakers had been installed on the nearby mountain.
In any case, these words could be heard loud and clearly.
"yer, please drive towards an open area to wait. We shall send someone to pick you up." The automated voice could be heard once again.
Bai Qinghao climbed into the sedan and drove towards the main road. He stopped the car in an open area.
Soon, a helicopter flew towards him and descended around thirty meters away.
A foreign man dressed in a suit approached him and made a ''please'' gesture.
Bai Qinghao followed him into the helicopter.
Fang Xinxinid unmoving on the ground. She watched as Bai Qinghao''s helicopter flew away.
She was not only alive. She was alsopletely unharmed.
Bai Qinghao had stabbed her with a seemingly regr dagger. Truthfully, however, the de could retract easily.
After pressing a button on the dagger, the de would not only retract but would also spurt out a reddish liquid contained in the handle.
A few days ago, she had discovered this dagger after killing a yer and felt that it was useful.
She had secretly told Bai Qinghao about it.
To think it really came to use!
It was more than suitable for faking a death.
Thus, when Bai Qinghao stabbed her with the dagger, he made sure to press on the button to retract the de. She held the dagger against herself with one hand in fear that it would fall off and expose the retracted de.
Her clothes were dyed red by the liquid from the de.
From an outsider''s point of view, she had been stabbed to death.
Bai Qinghao had likely apologized for leaving her behind.
However, the only option they had was for him to leave.
Once he left this ce, he could arrange for men toe ruin this ce and the organizers behind the game.
He was the only one with the ability toplete this matter at the fastest speed possible.
Thus, if only one person could leave, it had to be Bai Qinghao.
Chapter 853 - Total Annihilation
Chapter 853 - Total Annihtion
Fang Xinxinid on the ground and pretended to be dead. She watched as the helicopter flew away into the distance and disappeared from her sight.
The sun was very warm and the spring weather was cooling.
She wasn''t sure how long she needed toy here before Bai Qinghao woulde rescue her.
Considering his ability, he would likely be fast.
Ten hours? Five hours?
Perhaps it would take two to three hours.
Regardless, she was certain he wouldn''t take very long.
She would consider this a sunbathing session.
She rolled down the slope and nced towards the stream across the road.
From where sheid, she could only see the surface of the stream. Ya Lun''s ''corpse'' was nowhere to be found.
If she had guessed correctly, Ya Lun was most likely alive.
Although the bald man had been one step ahead and fired countless bullets at him, her eyes were sharp and she saw that Ya Lun was only shot once on his arm. How could he possibly die from such a wound?
However, Ya Lun''s clothes were torn and covered in blood. It appeared as though he had suffered countless shots.
Although this ce was under surveince, even cameras had their blind spots. A portion of the cameras were likely also damaged by the yers.
She dared to bet that Ya Lun had fallen into the drain and yed dead because that was a camera blind spot.
The person watching the surveince cameras must have assumed that he died from his bullet wounds.
Thus, both of them had sessfully convinced the organizers and the gamblers of their death.
Otherwise, they would not have announced Bai Qinghao''s victory.
However, Ya Lun, that idiot was truly pitiful. Of all ces to fall into, why did he choose the drain?
Wasn''t the drain water cold?
She wanted to move but did not dare to rx her body for fear of being noticed.
At this thought, she suddenly felt that Ya Lun was smart to have fallen into the drain.
There weren''t any cameras in there which meant that he could move as he pleased.
Fang Xinxin sighed internally. Although Ya Lun was soaking in the drain water, he was definitely much morefortable than she was.
An ant crawled onto her body and bit her. A patch of her skin immediately turned red.
She resisted the urge to p the ant to death.
A mosquito alsonded on her and sucked her blood.
She truly wished that she could jump up and kill the mosquito.
Her body was so itchy!
Unfortunately, she needed toy here for several more hours.
She cried internally. By then, she would likely be covered in mosquito bites. She truly regretted it. Why didn''t she run into a house before dying?
However, most of the homes here were surrounded by nature. They were infested with bugs and were not any better.
Sheid in misery for less than ten minutes.
All of a sudden, an automated voice could be heard. "We will now begin pouring fuel."
Over thirty helicopters flew across the sky. Their propellers were especially loud.
Countless buckets of fuel were being poured down.
Fang Xinxin immediately had a sense of foreboding.
It was obvious that they nned on destroying this ce!
There were so many corpses here. What better way to remove them than to start a fire?
With this much fuel being poured down, the moment a fire started, it would consume the entire ce. Even if she was alive, she was doomed to be burned to death.
She immediately thought of running.
However, she was afraid that the people on the helicopters would notice her. If they fired bullets at her, she would simrly lose her life. Thus, she could only endure it.
Half an hourter, all the helicopters had retreated.
"We will now release the poisonous gas." The automated voice could be heard once more.
Fang Xinxin noticed that a white gas was pouring out from an underground pipe nearby.
Thick poisonous gasses like that were guaranteed to kill with a single inhale.
A mass of poisonous gas slowly spread and approached her.
Chapter 854 - Race Against Death
Chapter 854 - Race Against Death
Fang Xinxin felt gloomy. They wouldn''t even leave the ants on the ground an opportunity to bite her.
She did not wish to be poisoned to death. Although her special abilities could conceal her from the people around her, it could not fool the surveince cameras.
If the organizers noticed her jumping up right now, wouldn''t countless people immediately begin pursuing her? They would even realize that she had faked her death and begin chasing Bai Qinghao.
When the poisonous gas spread towards her, she immediately held her breath.
She nned to remain alive for as long as possible. At the very least, she wanted to give Bai Qinghao a little more time.
Thankfully, just as she was about to suffocate, the automated voice could be heard once more. "May all snipers stationed outside the game map leave right now. The area will be cleaned up in three minutes. We will now shut down the surveince cameras and cut off the electricity."
When Fang Xinxin heard this, she immediately understood that no one was watching the ce anymore.
She jumped up from the ground and picked up the backpack on the ground. She covered her nose and mouth and hurriedly ran down the mountain.
As she approached the foot of the mountain, she jumped into the drainage and nearly stepped on Ya Lun''s ''corpse''.
The poisonous gaze moved upwards. Thus, the air in the drainage was rtively fresh.
Ya Lunid in the drain breathing loudly. "Aiya, Miss Fang, you''re here. I wonder if we''ll be poisoned to death first, or die by burning?"
Fang Xinxin immediately knelt in the drainage to search through her backpack. She retrieved two gas masks and immediately put one on. She then handed the other Ya Lun. "Put it on. Let''s run towards theke over there!"
In the past few days, while Ya Lun searched for the final yer, the two of them had looted countless corpses.
They had found these gas masks at the time and kept them for emergencies.
This drainage did not have much water. It was also filled with fuel. When the fire spread here, they would be doomed to die.
Ya Lun immediately wore the gas mask and climbed out of the drain with her quickly. They ran towards theke.
Fang Xinxin had a stolen watch on her wrist. "We have twenty more seconds."
"Theke is at least two kilometers away. We won''t get there in time!" Ya Lun shouted as he ran.
The car Bai Qinghao had used earlier was parked by the roadside. Ya Lun opened the car door. "Let''s drive!"
"We can." Fang Xinxin said, "This car is covered in fuel. Igniting the engine will start a fire and cause an explosion. This ce will immediately be engulfed in mes. By then, even our ashes will be hard to locate!"
Her pace did not slow down despite her words.
Ya Lun felt that her words made sense.
He quickly caught up to her.
The two of them ran towards theke with all their might.
Just as Ya Lun thought they would die on the way there, Fang Xinxin turned and ran towards an abandoned house on the left.
"Hey!" Ya Lun shouted. "Theke isn''t there! You''re running in the wrong direction!"
Fang Xinxin appeared not to have heard anything as she ran into the house.
Ya Lun wasn''t sure if he was supposed to wait for her and continue running for theke.
Even the fastest person could only cover up to five hundred meters in a minute.
A regr person could only cover two hundred to four hundred meters.
No matter how well-trained he was, he could not run as well as the fastest man on earth.
There were only two minutes left.. Two kilometers was truly impossible.
Chapter 855 - Peril To Peril
Chapter 855 - Peril To Peril
In other words, no matter if he left Fang Xinxin behind, he would die from the fire in the next few seconds.
Furthermore, if he abandoned Fang Xinxin right now, when Boss returned to pick up his ashes, he wouldn''t even forgive him after death.
Perhaps it would be better to die protecting his boss''s woman. This way, his boss would have some fondness for him and give him a proper burial.
Thus, Ya Lun turned and ran after Fang Xinxin.
He barely made it a few steps before Fang Xinxin charged out of the home on a motorbike. She came to a stop by his side. "Get on!"
She had checked beforehand and knew that there was a bike parked in this home.
Unlike the sedan car, the fuel did not touch this motorbike.
Thus, she ran around twenty meters to find it.
Ya Lun immediately got onto the backseat.
"Hold on tight!" Fang Xinxin shouted as she elerated. The motorbike shot forward like an arrow.
Ya Lun instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist.
He was pressed tightly against her back.
He suddenly realized that her body was especially soft. There was also a sweet scent on her body.
He could not help but be moved. It was no wonder that his boss waspletely charmed by her.
Fang Xinxin''s driving skills were especially good. However, the ground was covered in fuel and the tires were losing friction.
The motorbike slid several times and nearly overturned once. Ya Lun was surprised to find that the bike was always able to shift from a strange angle back to a stable position.
In fact, Fang Xinxin was using her abilities to move the motorbike.
Ya Lun nced at the watch on Fang Xinxin''s wrist. "This ce will explode in thirteen seconds!"
However, theke they were rushing towards was nowhere to be seen.
Three seconds had passed by the time he finished speaking.
Ya Lun began to count nervously. "Ten, nine, eight, seven¡"
When he counted to six, the motorbike finally charged past a small hill. They could now see theke located fifty meters away.
"Five, four, three¡" Ya Lun counted anxiously.
Fang Xinxin stepped firmly on the elerator. She could not go any faster than this.
"Two, one!" Following Ya Lun''s voice, an enormous explosion echoed throughout the ind.
Right before the explosion, their motorbike left the ground and brought them into theke in a smooth curve.
Away from theke, the ind was consumed in mes. Everything was destroyed by the fire.
The fire burnt at the temperature of at least several thousand degrees. Although the two of them were right in the middle of theke, they could feel the heat from the mes.
Even though some of the fuel had spilled into theke, thankfully, there were only small puddles floating on the surface of the water. Theke was also especially big and the fires quickly extinguished.
Ya Lun and Fang Xinxin carefully avoided the puddles of fuel on the surface of the water.
Initially, they had swam with all their might.
However, they were quickly exhausted.
Theke waspletely surrounded by mes. They could not swim towardsnd to find a piece of wood to hold onto.
They also did not have any life jackets.
The only life jacket Fang Xinxin brought with her when she first fell into the ocean had been bombed to smithereens along with their boat.
Speaking of which, even the stone wok that Bai Qinghao brought from the uninhabited ind had been destroyed.
She sighed internally.
She switched from breaststroke to freestyle swimming.
"Ah!" Ya Lun suddenly shouted as his body began to sink. He began to cough from the water filling his mouth.
Fang Xinxin immediately swam towards him. She grabbed onto his back and tugged him up. "What''s wrong?"
"My¡ my legs are cramping." Ya Lun spat out the water from his mouth.. He spoke with a paleplexion. "Let go of me¡ Otherwise, you''ll run out of energy¡"
Chapter 856 - Hold On
Chapter 856 - Hold On
"Don''t die." Fang Xinxin swam with all her might and held onto him.
"Could it be that you can''t bear for me to die because I used to pursue you?" Ya Lun''splexion was pale as he smiled.
Sobs¡
He was deeply moved.
As a receable second hand, he was used to sacrificing himself.
To think there was a woman who would miss him if he died.
If she wasn''t his boss''s woman, he would definitely pursue her.
Truthfully, Fang Xinxin did not care much for Ya Lun''s survival. However, earlier when she had run for the motorbike, he did not abandon her and had chosen to look for her.
She remembered this favor.
Thus, she naturally would not turn a blind eye to his plight. However, what she said was, "You''re Bai Qinghao''s subordinate. He might be sad if you die."
She knew that Ya Lun was attracted to her. Thus, she needed to keep him from having any unrealistic expectations.
A hint of bitterness shed past Ya Lun''s face.
Given his personality, he was fearless about pursuing women regardless of whether they were attached or not. However, he absolutely could not touch his boss''s woman.
This was because he owed Bai Qinghao his life.
Thus, he also ended his feelings for her. "It''s fine if Boss is upset about my death. But it would absolutely destroy him if you died. Fang Xinxin, you have to live."
He did not wish to be a burden to her. Thus, he began to push her aside. "Don''t hold onto me. It''ll tire you out."
She obediently released him, leaving him to struggle in the water.
Ya Lun thought internally, this woman sure is heartless. He didn''t¡ he didn''t actually mean it.
Fang Xinxin treaded the water slowly and kept her head above the surface. Her gaze shifted onto the trees that were gradually being consumed by the fire. One of therge trees broke off and rolled onto the ground.
Her gaze turned cold as she activated her powers. Therge tree trunk was sent flying into theke.
Ya Lun had been struggling to stay afloat. When he saw this scene, his jaw fell open.
Fang Xinxin concentrated once more and the tree trunk levitated towards Ya Lun side.
Ya Lun instinctively wrapped his arms around the tree trunk and exerted all his strength to keep his upper body above the water. He then coughed repeatedly.
Fang Xinxin was thoroughly exhausted. She swam over and held onto the same tree trunk, leaning her head against it to rest.
The two of them each held onto one end of the tree trunk and floated quietly.
They were surrounded by raging mes. Every so often, they could hear the noise of an explosion nearby.
Although they were quite far away fromnd, the heat from the mes was sufficient to make them ufortable.
They held onto the tree trunk and frequently dipped their heads beneath the water to avoid the heat.
As the fire grew stronger, even the water began to turn warm.
Thankfully, they were in the center of theke and were mostly unaffected.
"Sister-inw, it turns out that you can do more than traveling through walls. You can even levitate objects." Ya Lun saw that the fire wouldn''t stop anytime soon. Thus, he began to chat idly with Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin was not surprised by his knowledge.
This was because she had relied on her powers to escape from the underground base and follow Bai Qinghao.
Ya Lun was the organization''s second hand.. Although he had been missing at the time, he could have easily found out the truth by checking the surveince cameras records after he returned.
Chapter 857 - Worry
Chapter 857 - Worry
Before this, Bai Qinghao had also asked about her escape from the underground base.
Thus, she took the initiative to share about her powers several days ago to Bai Qinghao. However, her abilities expended her energy very quickly and she could not use it freely.
Fang Xinxin paid Ya Lun no mind. She could not help but wonder how Bai Qinghao was doing.
Did he manage to contact his subordinates? Even if he sent someone to rescue Ya Lun and her, it was likely that they wouldn''t be able to approach the ce, considering the fire.
The air was especially dry and the fire was burning ceaselessly. The temperature around the ce had shot up by several thousand degrees.
She hoped he would remain patient and rational regardless of the situation.
Ya Lun watched as she frowned in worry. He could not help butfort her. "Don''t worry. There isn''t anyone capable enough to deal with this more than Boss. As long as he has left this ce, no one will be able to kill him."
She nodded lightly.
He did not speak up again. As he took in her stunning features, he suddenly felt that it wasn''t too bad spending time alone with her.
In the past, everyone believed that their boss had found the worst woman on earth.
The truth was that she was the most outstanding woman to ever exist.
In terms of beauty, family background, intelligence and even her powers, she was iparable.
Even in times of danger, she was fearless and loyal to her friends.
He was considered a friend of hers, wasn''t he?
Ya Lun could not help but be envious of his boss. He had the most amazing woman in the world all to himself.
The firested for a day and a half.
The two of them were dizzy from hunger. Thankfully, they could satiate their thirst from the water in theke.
As the fire began to weaken, over a hundred helicopters appeared in the sky. Foam appeared to pour out from the helicopters. They were working to extinguish the fire.
If they had done this when the fire was strong, the helicopters would likely have gotten damaged.
Instead, they first surrounded the area with fire trucks and worked on the outskirts of the fire to weaken and control it.
Bai Qinghao sat in one of the helicopters. His expression was especially tense. His gaze was sharp as he scanned the situation on the ind with a pair of binocrs.
Earlier, when he boarded the organizers'' helicopter, he had immediately killed all the people on the helicopter. He then snatched one of the men''s phones to contact his subordinates.
However, the organizers immediately noticed something amiss and sent their men after him.
He had to avoid their pursuit and wait for his subordinates to arrive before eliminating them all.
He had nned on returning to rescue Fang Xinxin and Ya Lun after killing them.
However, he did not expect to be greeted by an enormous fire when he returned.
He had immediately given the instructions to control the fire.
He had even captured several snipers who had yet to escape from the ind.
ording to them, before the ind was set on fire, the organizers had even released poisonous gas.
In other words, it was impossible for anyone to remain alive on this ind!
The fire burned furiously and the air was especially dry. The nearestke was located in the game map and there weren''t any water sources outside.
They had no way of extinguishing the fire. In the time it took for the fire trucks to transport water, the fire only grew stronger.
Furthermore, the wind was worsening the mes and making it impossible for the helicopter to soar above the ind.
Bai Qinghao demanded to know the organizers'' nest and personally brought a group of men to deal with them. By the time he was done, even their fingernails were nowhere to be found.
From that moment on, their cruel game no longer existed on this earth.
He then returned to the outskirts of the fire with reddened eyes and began to instruct his subordinates to manage to fire.
Finally, they were able to control and weaken it. Soon, the helicopters could reach the ce.
However, it had already been a day and a half since he separated from Fang Xinxin!
Chapter 858 - Rescue
Chapter 858 - Rescue
At the thought that Fang Xinxin could have been poisoned or burned to death, the pain in his heart left him struggling to breathe.
For the past one day and a half, the worry had been driving him insane.
He had felt the urge to charge into the fire and die with Xinxin countless times.
However, he also knew that she was a strong girl. She had battled a shark in the ocean and taken good care of him even when they were on an uninhabited ind.
She was such a capable, wonderful girl. How could she die just like that?
If she happened to still be alive, wouldn''t he lose all hope of seeing her again if he killed himself?
Thus, he reminded himself in pain that he needed to see her! Even if she was dead, he needed to personally see her corpse!
However, his rational side told him that the fire had burned furiously for a day and a half. It was likely that even corpses wouldn''t be recognizable after that.
Still, he could not let go of his hope of a miracle!
Despite his usual cold, firm and unshakeable countenance, as he sat in the backseat of the helicopters with a pair of binocrs, he found that his hands were trembling.
He scanned theke far away with the binocrs and saw that it waspletely surrounded by mes. Right in the center of theke, Fang Xinxin and Ya Lun were holding onto a thick, burnt tree trunk.
When he recognised their figures, he became extremely agitated. "Quick,nd there!"
The pilot responded while trembling. "Boss, though the fire has weakened, and there are areas where it has beenpletely extinguished, the temperature onnd is still too high. The helicopter won''t be able to descend here."
"Lower the helicopter above theke." He instructed.
"Yes, Sir." The helicopter headed for the enormouske and descended beforeing to a stop in mid-air.
Fang Xinxin lifted her head and watched the helicopter door suddenly open. A figure jumped into theke,nding several meters away from them.
She blinked and realized that it was Bai Qinghao. To think that he would immediately jump in to see her. She was deeply moved.
In the next instant, he had swum over and crushed her into his arms. His tight embrace left her body aching.
"Xinxin¡ Xinxin!" Bai Qinghao was deeply moved. It had been a day and a half since he got any rest and his eyes had reddened from his emotions.
He kissed her lips, her hair, her nose and her lips repeatedly¡
Thank god she was alive, thank god she was alive!
Upon confirming that she was here, his joy sent him¡ into tears.
Fang Xinxin was shocked to see him crying in joy and pain.
She returned his embrace tightly and whispered. "Hubby, I''m still alive¡"
"My wife, my wife!" He dearly wished that he could press her into one being with him.
Both of them began to sink with the way they were embracing.
Bai Qinghao had no choice but to move one hand to grip onto the tree trunk. He held them up and kept their shoulders floating above water.
Ya Lun was also moved as he watched them embrace.
His feelings were ratherplicated and a little sour.
This was because he also had some feelings for Fang Xinxin.
However, he did not n on conveying these feelings to her ever.
If it hadn''t been for her, he would most likely have been poisoned or burned to death. He could even have drowned in theke.
Hence, he would offer all his blessings to her.
He was certain she would be happy with his boss.
Ya Lun spoke up hoarsely. "Boss, this subordinate is also alive. Why won''t you embrace him?"
Bai Qinghao did not even pause to look at him. All his attention was fixed on Fang Xinxin.
He hoped that he would never have to separate from her again, or face the possibility of losing her ever again!
Two lifeboats were tossed down from the helicopter.. A long ropedder hanging from the helicopter was also released.
Chapter 859 - Settling Scores
Chapter 859 - Settling Scores
Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms as he climbed up thedder. Ya Lun followed after.
The three of them left the ind on the helicopter.
It took two more days before the firepletely stopped.
Thankfully, the location wasrgely isted and it did not cause any disturbances.
¡
In a blink of an eye, it had been two weeks since Fang Xinxin, Bai Qinghao and Ya Lun returned to the country.
After the bullet was retrieved from Ya Lun''s arm, he made a full recovery. He then took a team of men with him abroad to destroy Dark Moon''s base. As a result, the leader of Dark Moon was now forced to be on the run.
Bai Qinghao remained by Fang Xinxin''s side in the Yu Ting Vi the entire time.
During the fire, Fang Xinxin had to endure the cold water and theck of food. She had fallen sick the moment she came home.
Thankfully, after a long rest, she had mostly recovered. Her skin had also turned much fairer.
Fang Xinxin stood in the old Bai mansion''s backyard. She recalled her father and grandfather''s overjoyed reaction when she first made it home.
Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi had also been overwhelmed and it seemed like they were on the verge of tears.
In the period that the two of them had been missing, the five elders were so consumed with worry that they barely ate or slept.
Thus, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin stayed in the Long family''s vi for a week before moving to the old Bai family''s mansion so as to spend some time with all of them.
She learned that while they had been missing, the Bai and Long family had sent out almost all of their subordinates to search for them.
Even her brother, Fang Shaohua, stopped searching for Sun Jiamu to look for her.
After all, her elder brother was certain that Sun Jiamu was safe from the regr letters she wrote to her parents. Fang Xinxin, however, had beenpletely missing.
Her brother had also been overjoyed by her return and soon returned to busying himself with searching for Sun Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin strolledfortably in the Bai family''s yard. From afar, Bai Chenxi watched her with a hint of unhappiness in his gaze.
He dearly wished to approach her. However, ever since her return, Bai Qinghao had sent his men to beat him up whenever he tried to do so.
After repeated incidents, he now only dared to watch her from a distance.
She was truly bing more and more beautiful.
She was now a university graduate. Her grandfather, Long Jingyuan, had already announced that she was set to inherit the entire Long Group.
She was the heiress of a powerful family with over a hundred years of history. She was also the world renowned fashion designer, Alice, and the director of Jiao Yang Finance Group.
Moreover, she had married the most revered man in the country, Bai Qinghao.
She had be the most powerful woman in their country.
But this woman used to love him! She was supposed to be his!
Bai Chenxi''s gaze was filled with unhappiness and anger.
The Bai and Long family were far too frightening. In the period Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were absent, he had thought that the two families would have fallen into disarray. Although he and Huang Zhishu could not do anything to the Long family, they could have at least attacked the Bai family.
To their shock, the Bai family elders were impossible to fool.
While the Bai family were frantically searching for them, thepanies operated as per normal. Even Bai Qinghao''s Sheng Shi Group remained at ease without their CEO.
This was because Bai Qinghao had carefully selected capable subordinates and they were able to keep the Sheng Shi Group running efficiently.
With the Bai family still standing, even if someone tried to cause trouble in the Sheng Shi Group, it would be futile.
He had prayed fervently for Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin to never return.
However, both of them returned alive and unharmed.
Chapter 860 - Sowing Discord
Chapter 860 - Sowing Discord
Bai Chenxi had been unbelievably angered and upset by this.
However, he could only maintain a smile whenever he saw Bai Qinghao.
Huang Zhishu nced at her son''s frustrated expression. She was just as angered as he was.
However, they could only endure it.
Her son''s Chen Xi Corporation had gone bankrupt. Her daughter, Jingrou, had also been exposed for pretending to be the Long Group''s heiress.
As of today, their only hope was to regain power by taking over the Bai family.
They would have to endure for a little longer. Although Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had made it home alive, they did not have much longer to live!
Huang Zhishu approach Fang Xinxin''s side and greeted her with a smile. "Xinxin, are you taking a stroll?"
"Can''t you see with your eyes? What''s the point in asking?" Fang Xinxin did not have any fondness for this woman.
She had raised a vicious and hypocritical daughter like Bai Jingrou and that revealed a lot about her character.
Huang Zhishu put on a disappointed expression. "Xinxin, I have never offended you. Why do you always show me such a bad attitude?"
"Do you dare to say that you never knew Bai Jingrou was pretending to be me to take over the Long family''s business?"
"I really didn''t know about it." Huang Zhishu''s demeanor appeared to be especially soft. "I''m just Jingrou''s adopted mother. She has always had some unhappiness towards me. I really didn''t know that she was lying. If I had known, I definitely would have stopped her."
"Is that so?" Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. It was clear she did not believe in her.
Bai Jingrou appeared weak and gentle on the surface but was in fact full of schemes. In that sense, she waspletely identical to this woman.
Fang Xinxin refused to believe that this old woman was unaware of her daughter''s schemes.
Huang Zhishu looked apologetic. "Xinxin, I''m really sorry. I''ll apologize to you on Jingrou''s behalf¡"
"There''s no need. She arranged for my father''s nurse, Liang Zhen to be murdered. She also yed a role in Auntie Qiu''s death. Right after, she even dared to attempt to murder my grandfather and father. As of today, she is already blind and paralysed. All she has to do is wait for death. She will pay for her actions. There is no need for your apology." Fang Xinxin appeared indifferent.
Huang Zhishu hurriedly changed the topic. "Let''s not talk about this anymore. I''m just her adopted mother."
She was intentionally dering that she was unrted to Bai Jingrou.
Fang Xinxin did not pay her any heed. She saw that Elder Bai Chongshan was practicing Tai Chi on the man-made grass field ahead. She approached him. "Grandfather."
Elder Bai nodded as he continued to run through each move¡
His posture was urate and his concentration was sharp. Combined with his gray mustache, he appeared just like a capable master.
Afterpleting thest move, Bai Chongshan reached for the towel which a maid was offering. "Xinxin, do you want to practice Tai Chi with Grandfather?"
"Dad, that might not be a good idea." Huang Zhishu rushed to say. "It''s been quite some time since Xinxin married Qinghao. Although they went missing for a while, they were together the entire time. If Xinxin happens to be pregnant, practicing Tai Chi may be harmful."
Fang Xinxin nced at Huang Zhishu in annoyance. This old woman was saying this intentionally.
Half a month ago, when she first returned to the Bai home, the elders had been worried for the two of them and called for doctors to give them a check-up.
At the time, she was not pregnant.
This old woman clearly knew that she wasn''t pregnant, yet she brought this up. She was trying to criticize her for failing to y any eggs''.
"That''s true." Bai Chongshan stroked his mustache and nced towards Xinxin''s t stomach. "Xinxin ah, you have to hurry and give me a great-grandson.. Grandfather is getting old. I may not be around for too long¡"

Chapter 861 - A Baby
Bai Qinghao approached at this moment and spoke heavily. "Grandfather. There''s no need to rush about having a child. Xinxin and I don''t n on having a baby for the time being."
"That won''t do!" Bai Chongshan shouted loudly. "I won''t interfere in your rtionship, but no matter what, you have to give me a grandchild as soon as possible!"
Bai Qinghao frowned. "Keep dreaming. I don''t want to have a child."
Fang Xinxin nced at Bai Qinghao''s cold features in astonishment. His expression was firm and it did not seem like he was lying.
However, there was no need for her to ask him.
In their previous life, he had been thoroughly heartbroken by her miscarriage. It was clear that he dearly wished to be a father.
Why was he saying the opposite right now?
Did he really not wish for a child, or did he have other reasons?
"You''re trying to anger me to death! Bai Chongshan was especially agitated. He began to tremble in anger.
Fang Xinxin approached his side and patted his back lightly. "Grandfather, don''t be angry. Qinghao and I will give you a great-grandson."
When Bai Chongshan heard this, his expression finally eased a little.
Bai Qinghao however, could not hide the hint of worry in his gaze when he heard his wife''s words.
Only Huang Zhishu had an imperceptible mocking smile on.
Fang Xinxin was a hen that could noty eggs. As if she would ever have a child.
"Father, we have to take such things naturally. Don''t give the couple too much pressure." Huang Zhishu pretended to be the ''good person'' by the side.
Bai Chongshan understood that his grandson was too outstanding. Once he had made a decision, he would not waver. Thus, he could only urge Fang Xinxin. "Xinxin, Grandfather isn''t young anymore. I already have one foot in the grave. My only wish is to hold my great-grandson. It''s fine if it''s a great-granddaughter. As long as the child is of my Bai family''s bloodline, I''ll love them. I hope you can understand me."
"En." Fang Xinxin nodded. "I will do my best."
She also wished to have a baby with her beloved husband.
"Father, I''ll apany you on a stroll. Let''s leave this little couple to spend some time together," Huang Zhishu spoke up thoughtfully.
"That''s true."
Huang Zhishu supported Bai Chongshan to stroll through the yard.
Huang Zhishu watched as Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin returned to the old vi. After confirming that there was no one around them, she spoke up softly. "Father, I''m not sure if I should be telling you this¡"
"If it''s rted to you or your adopted son, Bai Chenxi, don''t mention it." He was uninterested.
"It''s not." Huang Zhishu''s expression stiffened for a moment. She began carefully. "It''s rted to Fang Xinxin''s secret."
"What secret could she possibly have?" A hint of mocking shed past Bai Chongshan''s sharp gaze. He nced at her in dissatisfaction. "Could it be that, just because your son hasn''t given up on Xinxin, you n on making things up about the two of them? Those are all rumors. Xinxin only likes Qinghao."
"I definitely don''t have any such intentions. I''ve asked Chenxi about this. Both Xinxin and him are innocent." Huang Zhishu rushed to exin. "Father, look at you. You''re so wary of me that you''re guessing at my thoughts before I''ve even spoken."
"Enough. Go straight to the point."
"Half a month ago, didn''t Doctor Shi Qian give Qinghao and Xinxin a full body check up?" Huang Zhishu spoke up while trembling slightly. "It seems that Xinxin will have a lot of trouble conceiving."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Bai Chongshan red at her.. "Doctor Shi himself assured us that both Xinxin and Qinghao are healthy."
Chapter 862 - Family Conflict
Chapter 862 - Family Conflict
"He said so because you were listening." Huang Zhishu continued, "I overheard Doctor Shi and Qinghao''s private conversation. Doctor Shi said that Xinxin''s body was unique and she would face difficulties in conceiving. Doctor Shi also said that Qinghao has personally done two check-ups to see if he has any problems in that area. On both asions, he was found to bepletely healthy."
Bai Chongshan frowned. "Are you speaking the truth?"
"I wouldn''t dare to lie about this." Huang Zhishu gestured as if to make a vow. She suddenly said, "Father, think about it. Although Xinxin and Qinghao have only been married for a year, the two of them have cohabitated in the Yu Ting Vi for more than two years. They spent nearly three years together without conceiving. Isn''t it clear that something''s wrong?"
"¡" Bai Chongshan fell silent.
He personally made a phone call to the Bai family''s doctor, Shi Qian. Initially, Shi Qian refused to admit to it. It was only after Bai Chongshan threatened him in his anger that Shi Qian confessed to this matter.
After the elder ended the call, his expression was especially heavy.
"Father, this matter is very serious. We should inform Brother-inw and Sister-inw." Huang Zhishu continued thoughtfully. "Chenxi is only the Bai family''s adopted son. Qinghao is the Bai family''s legitimate, only sessor. If Xinxin cannot conceive, it will affect the Bai family''s future¡"
"Isn''t it just difficulty in conceiving?" Bai Chongshan cut her off loudly. "Who says she cannot conceive!"
"They''ve been together for three years¡" Huang Zhishu put on a virtuous act. "The Bai family cannot be without a sessor. You should ask someone to check with the Yu Ting Vi''s helper if the couple were on birth protection before they married. Although Qinghao ims that they were, if things are otherwise, the Bai family may not be able to afford waiting for several more three year periods."
"Enough!" Bai Chongshan rubbed his forehead in pain.
He was especially satisfied with Xinxin as his granddaughter-inw. If she could not conceive¡
No matter what, the Bai family could not be without a sessor.
Soon, Bai Qinghao''s parents also learned of this matter.
In less than an hour, Elder Bai sent his subordinates to the Yu Ting Vi to question the servants there.
It turns out that the servants had never found a condom, or witnessed Xinxin taking birth control measures.
Bai Qinghao''s three elders immediately fell silent.
For the next four weeks, Fang Xinxin noticed that Bai Qinghao''s parents and Elder Bai Chongshan appeared to be holding their words back whenever they saw her.
However, when she questioned them about it, they refused to say anything.
Huang Zhishu, on the other hand, repeatedly questioned Fang Xinxin if she was pregnant. She then hypocritically assured her that there was no need to rush.
Fang Xinxin was intelligent and quickly had a vague idea of what was happening. However, since the other party wasn''t speaking up, she could not be bothered to expose them. There was no need to cause trouble for herself.
That morning, Fang Xinxinid on the bed in the third storey bedroom of the Bai family''s old mansion.
Bai Qinghao had already gotten up.
Since they returned home, their rtionship had grown stronger in terms of both physical intimacy and feelings.
She changed into a fresh set of clothes and prepared to head downstairs for breakfast.
She had just arrived on the second floor when she heard the fight urring on the first floor.
"Qinghao, Doctor Shi has already confirmed that Xinxin has difficulties conceiving. Until when did you n on keeping this matter silent!" Elder Bai was demanding in anger. "I''m already an old man. Do you want me to die with regret and to never have the chance to hold my grandson!"
"People will always have some regrets. It''s your business if you die that way." Bai Qinghao was unfazed.
Elder Bai sat before the dining table. He smashed the chopsticks in his hands down in anger. "You¡"
His eyes were widened and his body was trembling with anger.. He could not even speak.

Bai Hong then spoke up. ¡°Qinghao, Father has never interfered with your business. However, this matter will affect the Bai family¡¯s session. It¡¯s been three years since you¡¯ve gotten together with Xinxin yet she remains without a child. You knew that she had trouble conceiving yet you lied to us, iming that you were both on birth control. You say, it¡¯s clearly Xinxin who has difficulties conceiving, How could you push the responsibility all onto yourself?¡±
Ye Yunzhi also did not approve of his choice. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because we knew from previous check-ups that you were healthy, would you have imed to be the one with troubles conceiving? If in a few years, rumors begin to spread that the two of you are choosing not to have children, would you also dere that the problem is with you?¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless.
¡°You fool!¡± Bai Chongshan was both angry and hateful as he watched his grandson.
The family discussed this matter heatedly over the dining table. Although it was a heated discussion, only Bai Qinghao¡¯s elders appeared agitated.
Bai Qinghao, himself, was expressionless.
Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi both kept their heads lowered silently.
Truthfully, they were enjoying the show and preparing their schemes.
Bai Hong was calmer than his enraged father. He directly asked his son. ¡°Qinghao, at least answer us this. If Xinxin remains without a child, what will you do?¡±
Fang Xinxin was somewhat dumbstruck by the conversation she overheard.
It turned out that Doctor Shi confirmed that she had difficulties with conceiving.
It was Bai Qinghao who was keeping this matter concealed.
Ever since her rebirth, she had dearly hoped for a child with Bai Qinghao. Could it be that God did not n on offering her this opportunity?
It had been three years yet there were no signs of pregnancy.
Although she had vaguely begun to consider this possibility, when the truth was exposed, she still could not help being upset.
Bai Qinghao raised his brows. He nced at Bai Hong, Ye Yunzhi and Bai Chongshan coldly. ¡°What do you want?¡±
Bai Hong spoke up first. ¡°Son, I understand that you love Xinxin. But the Bai family needs a sessor.¡±
¡°If you dare to ask for Xinxin and I to divorce, you can take it that you¡¯ve never had a son.¡± Bai Qinghao stood up from the dining table. When he noticed Fang Xinxining down the stairs, a hint of heartache shed past his gaze. He immediately approached to receive her. ¡°My wife.¡±
Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi were all pale with anger.
When they saw Fang Xinxin however, they immediately felt awkward.
¡°Grandfather, Father, Mother.¡± Fang Xinxin greeted the three elders.
She directly ignored Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi.
A hint of pity shed past Bai Chenxi¡¯s gaze as he nced towards Fang Xinxin.
In an influential family like the Bai family, wasn¡¯t a woman who could not conceive akin to trash?
Of course, this woman had a good family background. She was capable, rich and stunning.
She could still be enjoyed by a man.
The three elders nodded awkwardly. They were also very fond of Xinxin. However, they could not ept for the Bai family¡¯s line to end here.
Fang Xinxin approached the dining table. She sat down and silently began to eat.
As though she never heard anything.
After she was done with breakfast, Bai Qinghao suddenly spoke up. ¡°I won¡¯t allow my wife to suffer your mistreatment here. From today onwards, Xinxin and I will move back to the Yu Ting Vi.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Bai Chongshan was once again enraged.
Bai Qinghao paid no mind to the elders¡¯ reaction. He instructed the servants to pack their things up.. He then held Xinxin¡¯s hand as they walked out of the Bai family¡¯s mansion.

Huang Zhishu watched as the couple left. She said, ¡°Father, it¡¯s clear that Qinghao¡¯s feelings for Xinxin are sincere. Our Bai family has to act with conscience. We cannot urge Qinghao for a divorce.¡±
Bai Chongshan nced at Huang Zhishu in astonishment. ¡°You¡¯re actually speaking properly for once. I thought you would take this opportunity to cause trouble.¡±
¡°Why would I do that?¡± Huang Zhishu put on a virtuous act. ¡°I dearly wish for everything to be peaceful in the Bai family.¡±
Bai Hong turned to Huang Zhishu. ¡°Sister-inw, let me tell you honestly. The Bai family will never force Qinghao and Xinxin into a divorce. Firstly, Qinghao¡¯s matters are not for us to decide. Secondly, aside from Xinxin¡¯s difficulties with conceiving, we are all very satisfied with her. As you saw earlier, before we had the chance to say anything, Qinghao had already taken Xinxin away without giving us any face.¡±
As Qinghao¡¯s mother and Bai Hong¡¯s wife, Ye Yunzhi was also very troubled. ¡°But the Bai family needs a sessor. We are also very troubled by this matter and unsure of how to resolve it.¡±
Huang Zhishu was precisely waiting for this moment. She nced at them. ¡°Father, Brother, Sister-inw, I have a solution that may help.¡±
Bai Chongshan looked up. ¡°Speak.¡±
Huang Zhishu carefully began, ¡°Actually, if it¡¯s just rted to the matter of a sessor, there¡¯s absolutely no need for Qinghao to have a divorce.¡±
Elder Bai¡¯s expression immediately turned cold. ¡°Eldest daughter-inw, could it be that you wish for Chenxi¡¯s son to inherit the Bai family? Don¡¯t even think about it! It¡¯s been years since Bai Pu passed away yet my Bai family continues to raise you and your children. Both Chenxi and Jingrou were adopted. The Bai family has fulfilled its utmost responsibility to the three of you. Besides, Jingrou hasmitted so many wrongdoings. We already told you before you adopted them that your adopted children will not have any rights to session. The Bai family will never let Bai Chenxi be its future sessor, much less his children!¡±
Huang Zhishu had heard these words many times yet they always left her enraged. Still, she continued gently. ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. Chenxi and I will never dare to have thoughts about anything that doesn¡¯t belong to us.¡±
¡°That¡¯s better.¡± The elder harrumphed loudly.
Huang Zhishu then continued. ¡°You were too impatient earlier. What I meant was that it¡¯s simple to resolve this matter without forcing Qinghao into a divorce. We just need another woman to give Qinghao a child. Xinxin can then raise the child as hers. The problem will then be resolved, won¡¯t it?¡±
The moment she said so, Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi fell silent.
Huang Zhishu then added fuel to the fire. ¡°I understand that Xinxin will be enduring some grievance in this matter. But who asked her to have difficulties in conceiving? The Bai family cannot be without a sessor.¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s not mention this matter for now.¡± Bai Chongshan stopped her.
A hint of a smile shed past Huang Zhishu¡¯s face.
Bai Chenxi, on the other hand, appeared a little upset.
After breakfast, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi returned to their Jing Xin Residence.
This was the residence they had been given in the old Bai family¡¯s home.
The moment they stepped in, Bai Chenxi raised his voice in anger. ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve gone crazy! How could you give the Bai family such a good idea? It¡¯ll only benefit me if Bai Qinghao doesn¡¯t have any children. If they do as you said, what benefit could I possibly pick up in the Bai family!¡±
Huang Zhishu sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to her.. ¡°Come here, my son.¡±

Chapter 865: Ruthless n
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Bai Chenxi took in his mother¡¯sposed expression and approached her in confusion.
Huang Zhishu began heavily. ¡°My son, how could I not prioritize your wellbeing? You have to know that my greatest aplishment is that we are still able to enjoy life in the Bai family despite the fact that I married a trash like Bai Pu who died so early. How could I rely on Jingrou and you? As of today, your sister is already blind and paralysed. She is living a life worse than death and will soon face the death sentence. I hate the Bai family with all my heart. How could I actually offer them a good solution?¡±
¡°What do you mean by that¡¡±
¡°Even if I don¡¯t bring up this solution, the Bai family¡¯s old things are all intelligent. How could they possibly not think of it? I said it intentionally to appear sincere.¡± Huang Zhishu narrowed her eyes. ¡°Aside from Fang Xinxin, Bai Qinghao doesn¡¯t approach any other women. Soon, the old Bai things will grow impatient. They¡¯ll definitely toss women at Bai Qinghao. When that happens, they¡¯ll only fail. Since I came up with this idea, perhaps they¡¯ll ask me for help. If they ask me to find Qinghao a woman¡¡±
She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a rather pleasant-looking woman named Cui Qin? Get her pregnant and we¡¯ll im that her child is Qinghao¡¯s. When that happens, your child will inherit the Bai family¡¯s wealth. Won¡¯t the Bai family then belong to you?¡±
Bai Chenxi was unmoved. ¡°Mom, your scheme is too simple. The Bai family will be wary if she is my woman. Even if the child is born, they¡¯ll conduct a DNA test. By then, everything will be exposed.¡±
¡°We naturally cannot let the Bai family find out about your rtionship with her. We¡¯ll keep everything hidden. I naturally have my own methods of making Cui Xin appear before the eyes of those old things. As for the DNA test, we¡¯ll worry about it when we get to that stage.¡±
Bai Chenxi narrowed his eyes. ¡°Mom, rather than putting in so much effort here, why don¡¯t you ask Dad to work harder. Get the people on his side to eliminate Bai Qinghao. That would be the simplest method.¡±
¡°Fang Xinxin as well. She has to die!¡± Huang Zhishu gritted her teeth hatefully. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for her, your sister, Jingrou, would never end up in such a miserable state.¡±
¡°Since Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin are both doomed to die, why don¡¯t we just wait to collect the benefits.¡±
¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to?¡± Huang Zhishu vented unhappily. ¡°I¡¯m not sure what¡¯s going on, but Bai Qinghao actually found out that the person, who has set up multiple instances of ambush against him, is the hidden leader of the Dark Moon Organization. Bai Qinghao¡¯s men have already destroyed the Dark Moon Organisation¡¯s base. The person herself is currently on the run to avoid Bai Qinghao¡¯s men. We can onlye up with separate ns on our own.¡±
Bai Chenxi¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°Mom, does that woman know of our rtionship with Dad?¡±
¡°Of course not. Otherwise, would we be sitting here unharmed?¡± Huang Zhishu harrumphed coldly. ¡°Perhaps even when she dies, she¡¯ll die unaware that your father used her like a fool.¡±
¡°Mom, let¡¯s not mention her anymore. It¡¯s too dangerous!¡± Bai Chenxi spoke heavily.
¡°Fine. Regardless, she will definitely attempt to take Bai Qinghao down in response to his pursuit. All you have to do is coax Cui Qin well. Mom will find a way to make her appear before Bai Chongshan¡¯s eyes.¡± Huang Zhishu¡¯s gaze was scheming.. ¡°Perhaps, no matter which woman the Bai family¡¯s elders decide on, you can secretly get her pregnant.¡±

Bai Chenxi nodded. He would go along with his mother¡¯s suggestion for now.
¡
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had moved back to the Yu Ting Vi. The helpers were in the midst of moving their things back into the main bedroom.
Fang Xinxinid on a recliner chair next to the pool to sunbathe.
Bai Qinghao approached her side and paused behind her to caress her soft hair gently. ¡°My wife, no matter what my parents or grandfather think about having children, don¡¯t let them affect you.¡±
She sat up and turned to look at him. ¡°What do you think about this, though?¡±
He picked her up in his arms and sat down, cing her on hisp. ¡°It¡¯s no matter whether we have a child or not. All I need is you. If you like having children, we can also adopt.¡±
She was deeply moved as she embraced him. ¡°Bai Qinghao¡¡±
¡°So don¡¯t be troubled by such matters, alright?¡± He coaxed her gently.
¡°En.¡± She nodded. ¡°You may think I¡¯m selfish, but even if you¡¯ll end up without children, I can¡¯t bring myself to let go of your hands.¡±
¡°My wife, you¡¯re not being selfish. You love me.¡± Bai Qinghao held her tightly. ¡°I like that you¡¯re being this way. I love you and can¡¯t live without you.¡±
¡°Hubby¡¡±
The two of them embraced each other tightly.
Liu Li approached them. When he noticed that they were in the middle of an embrace, he felt that this was a choice of poor timing on his part. However, as he had something important to say, he could only speak up. ¡°Boss, we discovered something big.¡±
¡°Speak.¡± Bai Qinghao inhaled the scent on his wife¡¯s neck. Although there were outsiders present, he did not seem to wish to let go of the person in his arms.
¡°This subordinate has been working with Ya Lun to pursue Dark Moon¡¯s leader, Xiang Feili. Recently, we found out that she has crossed the border to return to the country. Strangely, we found that she secretly came into contact with a delivery man.¡±
Bai Qinghao lifted his brows. ¡°Interesting. Did you investigate his background?¡±
¡°We did. It is a man in his fifties. He lives alone and appears obedient at work. He has a few friends and they all seem to have a good impression of him.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke up. ¡°Is it Guan Jiping, who lives on the sixth storey of Guo Mao Building?¡±
Liu Li was astonished. ¡°Madam, how did you know this?¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s memory was especially good. ¡°Once, Mom¡¡± She nced at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Your mom¡ She had been out shopping when she passed by Guo Mao Building and was nearly hit by a vase that was thrown down from above. Guan Jiping imed that he had fought with a friend and tossed it out in a fit of anger.¡±
¡°During that incident, you were the one who saved my mother.¡± Bai Qinghao caressed her long hair. ¡°The Elder sent someone to investigate at the time and confirmed that Guan Jiping was a civilian without any problems. This matter was resolved without any lingering suspicion. At the time, I did not interfere with this matter or pay too much attention to it.¡±
Fang Xinxin recalled that Bai Jingrou had been the one to save Bai Qinghao¡¯s mother in their past life. ¡°I feel that it¡¯s definitely not a coincidence that Guan Jiping nearly hit Mom with that flower vase. The Bai family cannot possibly have any conflicts with a delivery man. In other words, the only ones who hope for the Bai family to be unhappy have to be Huang Zhishu and her children. Of course, it could also be the Bai family¡¯s business rivals. However, Mom doesn¡¯t interfere with our work and thepetitors have no need to target her. In other words, it has to be rted to Huang Zhishu¡¯s side.¡±
Bai Qinghao immediately instructed Liu Li. ¡°Did you hear Madam? Investigate this! Don¡¯t just look into what he has been doing recently.. Find out what he has been doing in the past fifty years. Don¡¯t leave a single thing out!¡±

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Liu Li turned to leave.
¡°Wait.¡± Fang Xinxin appeared to be deep in thought.
Liu Li paused in his steps. ¡°What instructions does Madam have?¡± Boss had mentioned that hermands were the same as his.
¡°Since you¡¯re investigating Guan Jiping, do a background check on Huang Zhishu as well.¡± A woman who was capable of raising someone like Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou was definitely problematic herself.
¡°Understood.¡±
After Liu Li left, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin headed to the main bedroom on the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s third storey.
Their bedroom was filled with chaos for an entire afternoon¡
In the evening, Bai Qinghao headed to thepany to work.
Fang Xinxin checked the date and realized that her period waste by two days. Could it be that she was pregnant?
Despite their dissatisfaction with her difficulties in conceiving, after having endured one life, Fang Xinxin was unfazed by the family¡¯s opinions.
However, she genuinely hoped to have a baby with Bai Qinghao.
Thus, she secretly visited the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test. She then returned to the Yu Ting Vi and opened it in the bathroom.
The test revealed a distinct, single line.
She would only be pregnant if there were two lines.
This meant that she wasn¡¯t pregnant.
Perhaps, it was because it was still too early and the pregnancy test could not detect it?
The next morning and the morning after, she tested herself again.
Her period remained absent and her disappointment only grew by the day.
On the fourth day, her period still did note. Thus, she made a visit to Jia Ya Hospital for a blood test.
Afterpleting the blood test, the doctor who received her was Doctor Shi.
Shi Qian exined. ¡°Madam, you¡¯re not pregnant.¡±
She nodded. Truthfully, she had understood this from the blood test results herself. ¡°My period is four dayste.¡±
Shi Qian nudged his ss spectacles closer. As a doctor, he often heard these words from his patients. ¡°Madam, that is because you¡¯re giving yourself too much pressure. This is amon urrence. I¡¯ll prescribe you some medicine to help. Alternatively, if you would prefer not to take it, try to lighten your mood. Your period will most definitelye soon.¡±
¡°In that case, I don¡¯t need any medication.¡± She turned and left the hospital in disappointment. Since she wouldn¡¯t be able to conceive, there was no need to take any medication.
Soon after she left, Shi Qian¡¯s phone rang.
¡°Doctor Shi, I heard that my granddaughter-inw went for a blood test. Is she pregnant?¡± Elder Bai¡¯s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.
¡°She isn¡¯t.¡±
Elder Bai sighed heavily. ¡°If you prescribe some medication for her, will it help her conceive earlier?¡±
¡°Truthfully, her body is very healthy and there are no issues with her. As a doctor, I wouldn¡¯t rmend for her to take any medication. It¡¯s just that her body is a little different and she will face a little more difficulties conceiving than others.¡±
When Elder Bai heard this, he ended the call in disappointment.
Bai Qinghao naturally learned of this matter as well. When he returned home that evening, he carefullyforted Fang Xinxin.
However, the more heforted her, the more she wished to have a baby.
However, she quickly thought things through.
She was already beyond lucky to have a second chance at life and to rekindle her rtionship with Bai Qinghao. It wasn¡¯t right for her to be greedy.
She would take things naturally.
In the following month, Fang Xinxin inherited the Long Group and became especially busy with work.
Bai Qinghao was also upied with the Sheng Shi Group and the Bai family¡¯s matters.
However, despite their busy schedules, both of them never worked overtime.
They were upied with work in the morning, and were busy with each other in the evening¡
On Saturday afternoon, Bai Qinghao headed out to take care of some matters while Fang Xinxin slept in.
She woke up after 10:00 a.m. and reached for her phone to send her good friend, Sun Jiamu, a message: [Hi, my dear.. It¡¯s been a long time since I heard from you. Are you doing well?]

She had sent Jiamu countless messages. However, she never received any replies.
Jiamu¡¯s father once called her to inform her that Jiamu had changed her contact number. She had also moved to a different ce. However¡
She temporarily did not wish to contact anyone.
Thus, she was actually safe.
Fang Xinxin understood very well that Jiamu was avoiding Fang Shaohua.
The reason Jiamu avoided contacting her was firstly because she was afraid she would give Shaohua her contact information. Secondly, it was also because Jiamu had misunderstood that Shaohua had fallen for his sister.
She sighed internally.
[It¡¯s been almost ten months since you left. My brother has been searching for you everyday. His career was originally just about to take off but those prospects are no longer there. The woman he loves is you. He is simply too innocent when ites to feelings and he misunderstood his familial love towards me as romantic love. This isn¡¯t my first time exining this matter to you, but I¡¯m afraid that because it has been too long since you logged into WeChat, my old messages have expired. Jiamu, I miss you. Come back!]
She wrote a long message and sent it to Jiamu via WeChat.
She no longer cared if her messages were being read. She simply wrote the things that she wished to convey.
She nced to the side. Through the windows, the weather appeared especially bright and sunny. Yesterday, she heard from her brother that he frequently visited Jiamu¡¯s parents in between his long search. Finally, Father Sun shared Jiamu¡¯s location with him and he would make the trip today to find her.
She hoped for a happy ending between Jiamu and her brother.
¡
In a vige located two hundred kilometers away from the city center, Fang Shaohua drove a BMW SUV slowly along the vige path. He carefully scanned the surroundings and realized that there weren¡¯t many households here. It seemed like there were less than forty homes in this vige.
ording to Father Sun, Jiamu¡¯s rented home was located on the slope of the mountain at the end of this road.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he nced upwards.
There was only one home visible on the slope. It was easy to locate.
Five minutester, he drove into a small courtyard in the mountains.
He was certain that he had found the right ce. This was because Jiamu¡¯s Audi Q7 was also parked there.
He alighted from his car and scanned the surroundings. The home was built with white bricks and it appeared to be two storeys tall. There were bright green vines growing on the walls.
In front of the house, there was also a small vegetable garden. Various crops like french beans and green onions were growing¡ They were all ripe for the picking.
It seemed like this was afortable little farmhouse.
Sun Jiamu had been born into a wealthy family background. Perhaps, she would enjoy the quiet and peaceful life offered in a vige like this.
A tanned, young man stepped out of the house. When he saw Fang Shaohua, he said unhappily, ¡°Who are you? How could you trespass somebody else¡¯s courtyard!¡±
¡°Jiamu stays here, doesn¡¯t she? I¡¯m her husband. Who are you?¡± Fang Shaohua dered his identity.
The young man sized Fang Shaohua up and realized that he was especially attractive and refined. Even a simple movement of his hand carried grace and demeanor.
With one nce, it was clear that this was a well-educated and outstanding individual.
He wasn¡¯t someone amon viger like him couldpete with.
Lin Haisheng¡¯s gaze turned jealous. He then demanded in anger. ¡°How could Jiamu have a husband? Isn¡¯t she a divorcee?¡±
Fang Shaohua was also taking Lin Haisheng in. The man wore a pair of slippers, a simple grey vest and a baggy pair of pants. He appeared very casually dressed.
Based on the calluses on his hands and his tan skin, this man was used to hardbor.
Originally, he had felt jealous at the sight of another man in Jiamu¡¯s home.

However, this man lost out to him in terms of both charisma and appearance.
Furthermore, Fang Shaohua was intelligent and did not miss the way the man¡¯s gaze darkened when he heard that he was Jiamu¡¯s husband.
This meant that this person was likely not very close to Jiamu.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s voice called out from the living room. ¡°Is Auntie Meng back?¡±
Right after, Sun Jiamu stepped out of the living room with a clear visible bump on her belly. She stared at Fang Shaohua¡¯s figure in astonishment.
He was dressed in a white dress shirt and a pair of dark green dress pants. His hair was short and his skin was fair. With one nce, it was clear that this was a well-educated man.
He had grown much thinner and his clear gaze carried a hint of gloominess.
Just like the first time they met, the sight of him moved her heart deeply.
It had been nine months since she moved here. She was now ten months pregnant.
When she first arrived here, she livedfortably and peacefully. However, in a few days, she realized that she always felt nauseous whenever she ate. Even a simple meat congee left her wanting to vomit.
Her period was also absent.
She visited a small clinic in a nearby vige and was shocked to realize that she was pregnant.
Initially, she felt both dazed and helpless.
After all, she had just signed the divorce agreement with Fang Shaohua. He did not love her and had hated her for clinging onto him.
Perhaps, he was in the midst of celebrating his freedom.
Although she had told herself that she nned on forgetting Fang Shaohua and wishing him happiness, he had left a definite mark on her body.
The more she tried to conceal it, the more she struggled to forget him.
Hence, she was overjoyed by the arrival of the child.
She liked that she was going to have Fang Shaohua¡¯s child.
However, they had already divorced. Thus, she did not n on informing him about her location or the existence of their child.
She was also worried that her parents would object to keeping the child in spite of her divorce.
Thus, she contacted her parents frequently to keep them from worrying and chose to stay in this vige.
However, she did not make life difficult for herself. She found a prenatal nanny, Auntie Meng, who was in her forties, to take care of her and live with her. She also gave the nanny her parents¡¯ contact number in case of emergencies.
As her due date approached, she felt that she could no longer hide this from her parents. Thus, she informed them of her exact location yesterday.
To her shock, rather than her parents, Fang Shaohua had shown up at her door.
Fang Shaohua took in Sun Jiamu¡¯s stunning features. His gaze then shifted onto her pregnancy bump. His expression immediately turned dumbstruck.
She¡ she was actually pregnant!
And from the size of her stomach, she was likely due soon!
Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze was filled with murderous intent as he nced towards Lin Haisheng. ¡°How are you rted to Jiamu!¡±
The sound of his clenching his fists could be heard clearly, as if he would crush the man across him in the next second.
Although Lin Haisheng was slightly frightened by his murderous gaze, he was also internally enraged that Fang Shaohua took this long to appear. He spoke stiffly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you Jiamu¡¯s ex-husband? How is this rted to you?¡±
¡°You¡¯re asking for death!¡± At the thought that Jiamu¡¯s child could belong to this young man, Fang Shaohua¡¯s rationality snapped. He charged towards Lin Haisheng to punch him.
Xinxin had mentioned to Sun Jiamu that Fang Shaohua used to earn pocket money by participating in underground fighting rings. Furthermore, he was often proimed as the victor. Lin Haisheng was amon civilian. He definitely would not be able to win if a fight broke out between the two of them.
She rushed to stand before Lin Haisheng. ¡°Fang Shaohua, what are you trying to do?¡±

¡°Don¡¯t get in my way!¡± Fang Shaohua dearly wished that he could crush this man who had appeared in Jiamu¡¯s home.
¡°Get out!¡± Sun Jiamu raised her voice in anger.
Lin Haisheng rushed to express his concern for her. ¡°Jiamu, don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯ll be bad if your mood affects the baby.¡±
When Fang Shaohua heard this, his anger quickly faded. ¡°Jiamu, go in and rest. I¡¯ll support you.¡±
He approached her side and gently held her arm.
Sun Jiamu red at him. ¡°Weren¡¯t you nning on starting a fight in my home?¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡±
She rolled her eyes. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t dare?¡±
¡°My wife¡¯s orders are absolute.¡± Fang Shaohua looked at her lovingly.
His passionate gaze left Jiamu feeling burned. Her cheeks turned red. ¡°Who is your wife!¡±
¡°You.¡± He said, ¡°I didn¡¯t sign the divorce papers you left behind. Legally, you¡¯re still my wife.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t sign them?¡± She had assumed that he would be overjoyed by it.
¡°I won¡¯t sign it no matter what.¡± Fang Shaohua shook his head.
¡°But the woman you love is clearly¡¡± She spoke up to remind him but was promptly cut off. ¡°You¡¯re the woman I love.¡±
When she heard these words, she paused in her footsteps in a daze.
She took in his charming features and his bright, sincere gaze. He was not lying in the slightest.
He appeared¡ to be serious?
Furthermore, based on his personality, he wasn¡¯t someone who would lie to her if he did not love her.
¡°You¡ say that again?¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s voice seemed to be trembling.
¡°Jiamu, you¡¯re the woman I love.¡± His gaze was especially serious. ¡°My feelings towards Xinxin are but familial love. I was foolish and didn¡¯t understand my own feelings. I mistook my dependency on her as romantic love. Will you forgive me?¡±
Sun Jiamu began to tear up. The sight of her tears against her fair skin was a heart wrenching one. He did not sign the divorce papers. This meant that she was still his wife. Furthermore, to think that he actually loved her. She never expected this and was in shock by how happy it made her feel.
Fang Shaohua embraced her tightly. However, he was worried that he would hurt the baby in her stomach. He hurriedly released her and held her shoulder. ¡°My wife, I¡¯ve let you down. Don¡¯t be angry at me ande home with me, please?¡±
Sun Jiamu leaned against his firm shoulder and cried bitterly.
When Lin Haisheng saw this, he knew that there was no ce for him here.
He had fallen for Jiamu from the moment she showed up in this vige.
However, she had clearly informed him that she had a husband and that they were in a long distance rtionship. She had also stated that she would never fall for another man.
Considering her beauty, there were many other men in the vige who were taken with her.
However, when they heard that she was attached, they quickly gave up on their feelings.
He shouldn¡¯t have developed emotions for her. However, her so-called husband never appeared even once throughout her pregnancy.
Thus, he could not help but think that Jiamu was single. Hence, he was willing to take care of her and raise her child for the rest of their lives.
He frequently visited her to show his concern and did as much as he could for her.
It was a pity that she remained as polite and distant as ever.
Haisheng quietly spoke up. ¡°Jiamu is a good woman. You have to take good care of her from now onwards.¡± He then left the courtyard.
Sun Jiamu took in Lin Haisheng¡¯s back view and said, ¡°Brother Haisheng, thank you for taking care of me all this while.¡±
Lin Haisheng waved his hand to indicate that it was no matter. With that, he disappeared from their gaze.
Fang Shaohua nced at him. He then turned towards his wife in his arms. ¡°My wife, you haven¡¯t told me who he is.¡±
¡°He is the owner of the grocery stall in the vige. His name is Lin Haisheng. He has feelings for me but I¡¯ve always maintained a distance from him.¡± Jiamu sighed. ¡°He is a good man.. In the past nine months I¡¯ve been here, he has taken good care of me.¡±

That man¡¯s gaze wasn¡¯t pure. As if he was a good man!
Although Fang Shaohua sneered in response internally, he made sure to not offend his wife. ¡°En, I¡¯m very grateful to him as well.¡±
¡°Earlier, he brought some of the fish he caught over.¡± She said, ¡°When Auntie Meng is back, let¡¯s ask her to cook them.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± He lowered his head to look at her pregnancy bump. ¡°My wife, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were pregnant.¡±
A hint of grievance could be heard from his voice.
Sun Jiamu red at him. ¡°It¡¯s your fault for not liking me. You even made me misunderstand that you liked Xinxin¡¡±
Fang Shaohua, however, understood something else from her words. ¡°You¡¯re not denying that the baby is mine. In other words, it¡¯s really my child!¡±
Sun Jiamu was angered. She red at him and shouted. ¡°Fang Shaohua, what do you mean by that! In all the years I¡¯ve been alive, I¡¯ve only been with you. If the child isn¡¯t yours, whose would it be!¡±
Fang Shaohua was internally overjoyed. However, he spoke in discontentment. ¡°My wife is so beautiful. I was afraid that after being apart from you for so long, someone else would have taken the opportunity to approach you.¡±
¡°¡±Hmph, you better remember that.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s anger faded a little when she heard his praise. She nced at him in surprise. ¡°How did you know I was here? Did my parents tell you?¡±
He nodded.
¡°I knew this would happen. The moment I told my parents where I was, they informed you about it.¡± She had heard from her parents that Fang Shaohua visited them frequently since she left. During their phone calls, they would always mention that Fang Shaohua was a good son-inw and urged her to forgive him.
¡°My wife, your punishment against me was too heavy.¡± Fang Shaohua¡¯s eyes reddened. He lifted his hand and gently rubbed her pregnancy bump. ¡°Did you know? Ever since you left, I¡¯ve traveled the entire world to look for you. I nearly drove myself crazy doing that. Eventually, due to theck of options, I went clinging onto your parents. They said they didn¡¯t know your exact location, but that you frequently contacted them to assure them of your safety. I believed that you would eventually tell them where exactly you were, so for the past few months, I stayed with your parents and helped you take care of them. A while ago, your father fell ill and had to be hospitalized.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t he tell me about this?¡± Sun Jiamu was flustered. ¡°Is he better now?¡±
¡°He must have kept it from you because he didn¡¯t want you to worry. He has made full recovery. I apanied him in the hospital for two nights during that time. I¡¯ll slowly tell you everything.¡± He carefully supported her into the living room and urged her to sit down on the sofa.
After listening to him, she was deeply moved. ¡°Thank you. I was too stubborn. I shouldn¡¯t have traveled so far when I still had my parents to care for. I should have been at home with them.¡±
¡°We¡¯re husband and wife. It¡¯s only right that I was filial on your behalf. It¡¯s not toote for you to head home now.¡± He watched her in heartache. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you even tell your parents that you were pregnant?¡±
¡°I thought you had signed the divorce agreement. Initially, I was worried that they wouldn¡¯t agree to keeping the child considering that I would be a single mother. Afterwards, when their attitude towards you softened, I was worried that you had someone else in your heart¡¡±
He sat down by her side and embraced her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. This was all my fault.¡±
Although fate was cruel to him and left him to suffer three years of grievance in jail, it had also made things up to him.
He now had a wonderful wife and a soon-to-be-born child.
It was time Fang Shaohua learned to be content.
Sun Jiamu was thirsty. Fang Shaohua hurried into the kitchen to pour her a drink.
After taking several sips, she asked softly. ¡°Is Xinxin doing well?¡±
Chapter 872 - Happy Ending (5)
Chapter 872: Happy Ending (5)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Fang Shaohua¡¯s expression turned heavy. ¡°She¡ isn¡¯t doing too well.¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Sun Jiamu asked anxiously.
¡°The doctors have determined that Xinxin will have difficulties conceiving.¡± At the mention of this topic, Fang Shaohua¡¯s heart began to ache for his sister. ¡°The Bai family¡¯s elders are hoping she can give Bai Qinghao a child soon and have been pressuring her over it.¡±
Sun Jiamu stood up in agitation. ¡°If the Bai family isn¡¯t satisfied with Xinxin, we¡¯ll bring her home with us!¡±
¡°Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were originally living in the old Bai family¡¯s mansion. They have now moved back to the Yu Ting Vi.¡± Fang Shaohua exined heavily. ¡°I previously visited the Yu Ting Vi to urge her not to stress herself too much. I told her she could move back to the Fang home if they weren¡¯t treating her well. But she told me that she isn¡¯t feeling any pressure and that she isn¡¯t affected by their opinions.¡±
¡°She must be facing a lot of pressure. I¡¯m sure she said so because she didn¡¯t want you to worry.¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯s expression was filled with regret. ¡°I¡¯m in the wrong. I¡¯m Xinxin¡¯s closest friend yet I haven¡¯t been by her side all this while. She must be very upset¡¡±
¡°She has always been strong.¡± Fang Shaohua said, ¡°I¡¯ve spoken to Bai Qinghao privately. He said that he wouldn¡¯t allow the pressure from the Bai family¡¯s elders to affect Xinxin. He has always kept to his word. I hope he won¡¯t ever let Xinxin down. Otherwise, I won¡¯t forgive him!¡±
Sun Jiamu held Fang Shaohua¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Hubby, we have to be Xinxin¡¯s strongest supporters. Did you know? If it wasn¡¯t for her, we would never have the opportunity to be together.¡±
She recounted her meeting with Feng Dongkai as well as the misfortune she had almost met with him. She also detailed the way Xinxin had saved her and punished Feng Dongkai with herwyers.
When Fang Shaohua heard her story, he fell silent for a moment. He then held her shoulders. ¡°Our happiness was given by Xinxin. If it wasn¡¯t for her, we would both be suffering a lot of misfortune right now. In the future, we have to treat her well. She has really endured too many difficulties. Life truly hasn¡¯t been kind to her.¡±
¡°En.¡± Sun Jiamu was in tears. ¡°She is our miracle. I really wish to see her. Could we go back to see her right now?¡±
He gently wiped her tears away and nced at her pregnancy bump. ¡°This ce is more than two hundred kilometers away. When is your due date? It isn¡¯t suitable for a pregnant woman to endure such a long journey. We don¡¯t have to rush to meet Xinxin.¡±
He was in the midst of deciding if it would be better to visit a nearby hospital or to return to the city center. After all, the hospitals in the city would be able to provide better care.
However, it would take more than three hours to get there. This journey was too long for a pregnant woman.
¡°Yesterday was my due date.¡± Sun Jiamu responded.
¡°What!¡± Fang Shaohua immediately appeared flustered. ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go to the hospital!¡± There was no need to think further. It was better to head to a nearby hospital. Otherwise, if something went wrong during the journey, it would be toote to regret things.
He supported her towards the car parked in the courtyard.
¡°Why are we going to the hospital?¡± She asked in confusion. The pregnancy seemed to have affected her reaction time as it took her a while to process this.
¡°To wait for delivery.¡± Fang Shaohua hurriedly opened the car door.
¡°It¡¯s fine. This ce is really near the hospital. It¡¯s less than ten kilometers away. It won¡¯t be toote to go when my stomach begins to hurt¡¡± Sun Jiamu was at ease and she walked slowly.
All of a sudden, she turned pale and cried out in pain.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, wife?¡± Fang Shaohua asked her urgently.

¡°My stomach hurts! I think I¡¯m about to give birth!¡± Sun Jiamu¡¯splexion was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Fang Shaohua supported her in the backseat and hurriedly ran to the driver¡¯s seat. He sped down the road towards the hospital. ¡°My wife, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here with you¡¡±
¡°My stomach really hurts, Hubby¡¡± Sun Jiamu felt that she had grown soft the moment Shaohua appeared.
However, the pain in her stomach was truly unbearable.
¡°Hold on a little longer. We¡¯ll be there immediately¡¡± Fang Shaohuaforted her repeatedly.
Although the roads were quite empty, Fang Shaohua was not familiar with this ce and did not dare to drive too quickly.
Twenty minutester, they arrived at the nearest hospital. Fang Shaohuapleted the hospitalization procedure and waited urgently outside the delivery room.
He made a call to his father, Long Xuan, and informed him that Jiamu was giving birth.
Ever since Long Xuan woke up from hisa, he went through months of rebailitation and was now able to walk with the help of a walking stick.
Fang Shaohua urged him to rest and wait at home. Long Xuan, however, immediately asked for the address. He dered that he woulde immediately to visit his daughter-inw.
After ending the call, Fang Shaohua pulled up Fang Xinxin¡¯s contact number and hesitated to make the call.
It was only right that he informed her immediately about the joyful matter.
However¡ at the thought that Xinxin had trouble conceiving, he was worried that Xinxin would be disappointed when she heard he was going to be a father.
Still, he was certain that his sister would beat him to death if he did not inform her.
Thus, he mustered up his courage and dialed the number.
¡°Brother, did you find Jiamu? Have you guys reconciled? No matter what, you have to coax her well and treasure her, do you understand me?¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s sweet voice could be heard from the other end.
Fang Shaohua keenly felt her concern. He knew clearly that she had always treated him like her real brother. ¡°We¡¯ve already reconciled. Xinxin, I have some good news for you. Your sister-inw was already pregnant before she left me. She¡¯s about to give birth any moment. I¡¯m waiting outside the delivery room right now.¡±
¡°What!¡± Fang Xinxin¡¯s voice was filled with shock.
She sounded ecstatic the next minute. ¡°That¡¯s great! I¡¯m going to be an aunt! Where are you guys right now? Send me your location. I¡¯ll fly over right now!¡±
After ending the call, Fang Shaohua shared his location with her on WeChat.
He had thought that Xinxin would be upset. To his shock, that waspletely not the case. Instead, she was overjoyed for him.
He was deeply moved.
An hourter, Fang Xinxin tugged Bai Qinghao along to step out of the hospital¡¯s elevator. Long Xuan and Long Jingyuan followed after them as they approached Fang Shaohua.
A group of bodyguards also followed behind them.
Fang Shaohua did not expect for Bai Qinghao or Director Long toe.
After all, though he was Long Xuan¡¯s adopted son, Long Xuan had already left the Long home for over twenty years.
Before Long Jingyuan recognised Xinxin as his granddaughter, he had never met his adopted grandson.
Long Jingyuan himself had dered that he would not interfere with how Long Xuan distributed his personal assets. However, back when Long Xuan left the family years ago, he had already given up his session rights to the family business.
If Long Xuan was no longer an eligible sessor, his adopted son, Fang Shaohua, naturally would not inherit anything.
Long Jingyuan was the only person who could determine the fate of the Long family¡¯s business.
The elderly prioritized bloodline heavily. Thus, Long Jingyuan made it clear to everyone that the business would skip past Long Xuan¡¯s hands and be entirely given to Xinxin.
Since Long Xuan¡¯s words did not hold any power in the Long family, Long Xuan naturally did not oppose this decision.

There was no need to ask if Fang Shaohua was interested in the Long family¡¯s wealth. Even if he had to give all of his possessions to Fang Xinxin right now, he would be entirely willing.
While Bai Qinghao¡¯s attention was elsewhere, Fang Shaohua¡¯s gaze paused on Fang Xinxin¡¯s beautiful features for a moment. His eyes conveyed his deep love, his helplessness and his blessings.
Xinxin said that he never really loved her and that he had mistaken his feelings for her as love because he had never been in a rtionship.
Truthfully, he was sincerely in love with Xinxin, to the point where he could not help himself.
The love he had for her began when they were children. Since then, its roots had grown far too deep in his heart for him to undo it.
However, the person Xinxin loved was Bai Qinghao. She had never given him the slightest opportunity.
Likewise, Bai Qinghao had remained by Xinxin¡¯s side no matter if she was beautiful or ugly.
Bai Qinghao prioritized her more heavily than his own life.
Although Fang Shaohua was also willing to offer his own life to Xinxin, he understood very well that Xinxin had only ever wanted Bai Qinghao. If he acted willfully, he would not only lose Xinxin but would also leave her upset and heartbroken.
Xinxin had gone through all the trouble to prove his innocence precisely because she wanted him to be happy.
Jiamu was a good girl. She had stayed by his side for three difficult years and her feelings for him never wavered.
Since he could not be with Xinxin, and his heart had moved for Jiamu, why not go along with everyone, as well as his own wishes to be with Jiamu? He would cherish the future that he could hold onto.
As for the misunderstanding that he had confused familial love for romantic love, there was no need to exin it.
This was a beautiful misunderstanding. Keeping to the status quo was the only way to not let anyone get hurt.
When Jiamu¡¯s pained cry came from the delivery room, Fang Shaohua swore internally that he would bury all his love for Xinxin and treat Jiamu and his future child well.
Fang Xinxin hurriedly approached him and asked in worry. ¡°Brother, how is Jiamu!¡±
¡°She¡¯s still in the delivery room.¡± Fang Shaohua spoke and turned to Long Xuan. ¡°Father.¡± He then turned to Long Jingyuan. ¡°Grandfather, I didn¡¯t expect you toe.¡±
Long Jingyuan¡¯s expression was filled with love for his grandson. ¡°Little Fang brat, I didn¡¯t expect you to be a father in a blink of an eye.¡±
¡°Thank you, Grandfather.¡±
His gaze shifted onto Bai Qinghao.
Bai Qinghao spoke up expressionlessly. ¡°I came to be with Xinxin.¡±
He nodded lightly and nced at his watch. ¡°You were here in an hour¡ this ce is over two hundred kilometers away. Even if you drove down, it should have taken more than two hours.¡±
Fang Xinxin spoke up with a smile. ¡°Bai Qinghao arranged for a helicopter to bring us here.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± Fang Shaohua shot Bai Qinghao a slightly grateful look.
Bai Qinghao only held his wife¡¯s shoulder. He took in her paleplexion with heartache. ¡°My wife, don¡¯t worry. She¡¯s just giving birth. Your sister-inw will be fine.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
Fang Shaohua was covered in sweat from his worry. He paced back and forth in the hallway.
¡°Brother, Jiamu has always been very healthy. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Fang Xinxinforted him.
¡°Alright.¡± Fang Shaohua intertwined his hands and stared fixedly at the tightly shut delivery room doors. When a doctor stepped out from the room, he immediately raised his voice to ask. ¡°Doctor, how is my wife?¡±
¡°The delivery process will take time. It should go on for several more hours. There¡¯s no need to be too nervous.¡±
¡°Is she alright?¡±
¡°At the moment, everything seems fine.¡±
Two hourster, Fang Shaohua said to everyone, ¡°Why don¡¯t you guys go back first?¡±
However, they refused and insisted on waiting.
Bai Qinghao saw that his beloved wife wanted to stay and could only remain there to apany her.. However, he made sure that she rested on the chair every so often.

At lunch time, everyone ordered takeaway.
Fang Shaohua was especially grateful for theirpany.
Sun Jiamu¡¯s parents had also arrived after being notified.
Five hourster, the cry of an infant filled the delivery room.
A nurse stepped out, holding the baby swaddled in nkets. ¡°Is everyone here the child¡¯s family members?¡±
This was a hospital in a small town. The only pregnant woman giving birth today was Sun Jiamu.
¡°I¡¯m the child¡¯s father!¡± Fang Shaohua rushed forward.
¡°I¡¯m the child¡¯s aunt!¡± Fang Xinxin also hurried over.
¡°I¡¯m the child¡¯s Grandfather/Grandmother¡¡± Several other elders ran over.
The nurse carefully ced the child into Fang Shaohua¡¯s arms. ¡°Congrattions, it¡¯s a youngdy.¡±
¡°Daughters are good. Daughters are all daddy¡¯s girls.¡± Fang Shaohua held the little baby and took in her red cheeks. The sight of her was adorable enough to melt his heart.
He could not help but begin to tear up.
He never thought he would have a daughter. This was his daughter!
He was deeply moved as he nced towards Fang Xinxin. ¡°Sister, thank you. If it wasn¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t be here today.¡±
¡°We¡¯re siblings. I only did what I should have done.¡± Fang Xinxin received the baby from him and held her carefully. ¡°What will you name this little one?¡±
The nurses pushed Sun Jiamu¡¯s hospital bed out of the delivery room and towards a single room.
When Sun Jiamu saw Fang Xinxin from where sheid, she immediately teared up. ¡°Xinxin, my daughter¡¯s name is Aixin. Fang Aixin.¡±
Without Xinxin, she would already have been ruined by Feng Dongkai. Shaohua would also still be in jail.
There was nothing else they could do to express their gratitude towards Fang Xinxin.
¡°Shaohua, let¡¯s name our daughter Aixin?¡± Sun Jiamu turned towards Fang Shaohua.
¡°Alright.¡± Fang Shaohua nodded seriously.
Fang Xinxin smiled. She pressed a kiss on little Aixin¡¯s cheek. ¡°Ok! From this day onwards, this little baby will be Little Aixin.¡±
¡°Everyone is here¡¡± Sun Jiamu was deeply moved as she looked around the hallway. As the delivery process had left her exhausted, she quickly fell into deep sleep.
Fang Shaohua assisted the nurse to push his wife into a single room.
That evening, all the elders booked a room in a nearby hotel to rest.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao simrly checked into a hotel.
Fang Shaohua, on the other hand, remained in the hospital room to apany Sun Jiamu and his newborn daughter.
At ten in the night, Sun Jiamu woke up. Her slight movement caused Fang Shaohua to jerk awake from where he sat on the chair. ¡°My wife, you¡¯re awake. You must be hungry. You should eat something. The doctor says you shouldn¡¯t have anything heavy right now. Auntie Meng prepared some porridge for you.¡±
She sat up. ¡°Where¡¯s the baby?¡±
Fang Shaohua pointed to the small bed by their side and whispered. ¡°She¡¯s asleep.¡±
Back when she had just given birth, the doctor told her it was a daughter. As Jiamu took in the sight of her baby sleeping, her gaze was filled with love.
Fang Shaohua carefully fed her spoonful after spoonful of porridge.
She was deeply moved as she took in his charming features. ¡°Hubby, I didn¡¯t expect you to be this wonderful when you¡¯re being considerate.¡±
He ced the bowl down and carressed her hair gently. ¡°You¡¯re my wife. It¡¯s only right that I treat you well.¡±
She smiled happily. She loved it when he called her his wife.
She picked up her phone and opened up WeChat.
¡°Phones give off low levels of radiation.. Is it a good idea to use it right after you¡¯ve given birth?¡± Fang Shaohua frowned.

¡°I wish to read the messages from Xinxin.¡± Sun Jiamu logged into the WeChat ount she used frequently in the past.
In the messages, Xinxin had emphasized repeatedly that Shaohua only treated her as a sister, and that his true love was Jiamu.
Xinxin also described the way Shaohua had searched all over the world for her for nearly ten months without giving up.
Xinxin even told her joyfully that Bai Qinghao and her had made it home alive. She asked if she would be happy when she found out.
Sun Jiamu and Fang Shaohua turned to Fang Shaohua in shock. ¡°Xinxin and Bai Qinghao went missing?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. They were missing for several months. Both the Bai and Long family sent out countless people to go searching.¡± Fang Shaohua was confused. ¡°You didn¡¯t know?¡±
Sun Jiamu shook her head. ¡°It wasn¡¯t in the news. I didn¡¯t know about this.¡±
¡°Both the Bai and Long families suppressed the news about this matter, to keep anypetitors from causing trouble. They relied on their own abilities to search for them. Thankfully, both of them returned safely.¡±
¡°My god!¡± Sun Jiamu cried miserably. ¡°When I was living in the vige, I didn¡¯t dare to check any of my messages. I previously misunderstood that the person you loved was Xinxin and I felt that I didn¡¯t have any face to speak to her after being with you. I never knew that Xinxin went missing. I truly deserve to die!¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s better that you didn¡¯t know.¡± Fang Shaohua turned to look at their baby who was deep asleep. ¡°Otherwise, if you were too worried about Xinxin, it could have affected your pregnancy.¡±
¡°Why did she go missing?¡±
A hint of worry shed past his eyes. ¡°There¡¯s an international, underground organization named Dark Moon. It¡¯s head, Xiang Feili, had sent someone to kill Bai Qinghao and her. Thankfully, Bai Qinghao has already destroyed Dark Moon¡¯s base. Xiang Feili is currently on the run to escape from Bai Qinghao¡¯s people. Her location is unknown.¡±
Jiamu asked him worriedly. ¡°In that case, are Xinxin and Bai Qinghao still in danger?¡±
¡°Yes. But we can¡¯t help them with this.¡± Fang Shaohua appeared slightly upset. ¡°Xinxin said that Bai Qinghao will handle this matter and told us not to worry about it. Xiang Feili is currently in a lot of danger. Once she is gone, they will no longer have anything to worry about.¡±
The couple remained worried.
Sun Jiamu gave Fang Xinxin a call. She first apologized with regret. She had been busy resenting everyone in the world when her good friend had actually gone missing for such a long period of time.
Thankfully, Fang Xinxin was not bothered. She assured Jiamu that this was not her fault, and that they could only me Shaohua for misunderstanding his own feelings. Xinxin even urged her not to worry, and to live a good life with Fang Shaohua from now onwards.
After ending the call, she held Fang Shaohua¡¯s hand. ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s do as Xinxin said and live on well from now. Let¡¯s not make her worry anymore.¡±
¡°En.¡± Fang Shaohua returned her grip. He watched her gently and seriously. ¡°My wife, I will do my best to be a good husband and a good father. We will definitely be happy.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded seriously.
It was a great blessing that she was able to marry him, to have such an adorable child and to have a good friend like Xinxin. She was very content.
From this day onwards, Fang Shaohua, Sun Jiamu and little Aixin would live happily ever after. Of course, that was to continue in their future.
¡
At this moment, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao were in a hotel near the hospital.
Fang Xinxin took her phone out to look at a photo of little Aixin. She could not help but praise. ¡°Little Aixin is really so adorable.¡±
Bai Qinghao originally wanted to say that, if she liked little Aixin this much, they could have a baby of their own.
However, his wife was facing difficulties in conceiving.. Perhaps, they would never have a child of their own.

Bai Qinghao¡¯s heart ached as he swallowed his words back. ¡°What¡¯s so cute about her? Children are too much work to deal with.¡±
She nced at him lightly. ¡°You don¡¯t like children?¡±
¡°No.¡± He spoke dishonestly.
Truthfully, he dearly hoped to have a baby with her.
If the child resembled her, wouldn¡¯t they be especially adorable?
¡°You¡¯ve had a tiring day. Let¡¯s sleep early.¡± He guided her towards the bed.
¡°En.¡± She nodded.
She nced at his handsome features and sighed internally.
In their previous life, her miscarriage had sent him into misery and despair. How could he possibly dislike children?
He was simply worried that she would be unhappy and decided not to express it.
She lowered her head to nce at her t stomach. Both of them were working hard everyday. Still, there was nothing to be done if her womb wasn¡¯t helping them.
The next day, they returned to the city via helicopter. They sent Long Jingyuan and Long Xuan back to the Long family¡¯s vi first.
After alighting, they took care to inform Fang Xinxin not to give herself any pressure to give birth. If she truly could not conceive, there was no harm in adopting a child.
They even nagged Bai Qinghao to not give Xinxin any pressure. He naturally agreed to this.
Afterwards, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin returned to the Yu Ting Vi on their helicopter.
There was a reclining chair next to the swimming pool in the Yu Ting Vi. Fang Xinxinid there to sunbathe.
The sunlight wasn¡¯t especially bright today and it was warm. It was good to absorb some vitamin D.
Furthermore, her skin had long be fair again. She wasn¡¯t worried about getting a tan.
¡°Wife, I need to visit thepany for a while.¡± Bai Qinghao stood by the chair and took in her charming beauty.
He could not bear to leave her. Everyday, he looked forward to being with her the most.
¡°Go on, then.¡± She waved her hand.
Truthfully, she was also very busy managing the Jiao Yang Group and the Long Group. However, she had relied on her memories to find some very capable and loyal subordinates.
She found the best people for the managerial and leadership positions in herpany and only needed to work on the important matters herself. Thus, her workload became much lighter.
Bai Qinghao pressed a loving kiss against her cheek. He nced at her once more before turning to leave.
Fang Xinxin brought her phone out and tapped on little Aixin¡¯s picture again. The little one¡¯s cheeks were red and she appeared especially adorable.
To be honest, she was very envious of Jiamu.
She was also genuinely happy for her.
It had been three years since she got with Bai Qinghao. The two of them had never used any birth control. Yet, she was not pregnant.
She could not help but feel disappointed about this.
¡°Young Madam, the Elder and Madam are here.¡± Butler Zhao Cheng spoke to Fang Xinxin politely.
She nced to the side and watched as a helper guided Elder Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi towards her.
Fang Xinxin stood up and called them, ¡°Grandfather, Mom.¡±
They both nodded lightly. Bai Chongshan spoke first. ¡°Xinxin ah, Qinghao isn¡¯t here?¡±
Didn¡¯t the two of youe precisely because you knew he wasn¡¯t here? Xinxin did not express her thoughts and replied lightly. ¡°He went to thepany.¡±
¡°Little brat, have you been well recently?¡± Elder Bai Chongshan appeared just like a loving Grandfather.
¡°Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. I¡¯ve been doing well.¡± Fang Xinxin made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture. ¡°Let¡¯s head into the living room.¡±
She headed into the luxuriously decorated vi first.
The living room was as extravagant as an emperor¡¯s pce.. Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi sat down on the imported, real leather couch.

The servants brought several cups of hot tea forward and retreated to the side for further instructions.
Bai Chongshan picked up one of the cups and took a sip. He then spoke to the servants by the side. ¡°Leave us.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The servants immediately left.
The living room instantly became quiet.
Fang Xinxin understood that the Elder had something to say and it was most likely rted to her difficulties in conceiving. She quietly waited for him to speak.
Two minutester, Ye Yunzhi nced at Bai Chongshan, who appeared too ufortable to begin. She said, ¡°Father, how about I tell Xinxin about it.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. Let me do it.¡± Bai Chongshan sized Fang Xinxin up. ¡°Little brat, Grandfather is really very satisfied with you.¡±
¡°Thank you, Grandfather.¡± Xinxin thanked him sweetly.
He sighed and waved his hand. ¡°We¡¯re a family. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony. Xinxin ah, as you know, Grandfather isn¡¯t young anymore. I have one foot in my grave and my only hope is to hold my great-grandson. But your stomach is really disappointing.¡±
Fang Xinxin was also helpless. ¡°I¡¯ve let Grandfather down.¡±
¡°Grandfather knows that your rtionship with Qinghao is very strong, but for a family to beplete, you need a child. In order for a family line to continue, we need a sessor.¡±
Bai Chongshan appeared especially pained as he spoke. ¡°Grandfather isn¡¯t being impatient. Although you¡¯ve only been married to Qinghao for a year, you¡¯ve cohabitated with him for a long time. It¡¯s been three years. Yet, you still don¡¯t have a child.¡±
Fang Xinxin did not wish to go in circles. She asked directly. ¡°In that case, what would you like to do?¡±
¡°Qinghao and you are a good match. You cannot be separated.¡± Bai Chongshan spoke up. ¡°But the Bai family needs a sessor¡¡±
He fell silent and struggled to continue.
Fang Xinxin waited patiently.
Bai Chongshan picked up his cup for another sip before he continued. ¡°Two months ago, your Aunt, Huang Zhishu, suggested letting another woman have Bai Qinghao¡¯s child. Afterwards, the two of you can raise the child together. This idea isn¡¯t too bad.¡±
Fang Xinxin¡¯s expression turned cold.
Ye Yunzhi rushed to add on. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once the woman has given birth, we will send her far away and keep her from ever reappearing in front of you. She won¡¯t affect your position as Madam Bai.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. ¡°With my status and position, do you think the title of ¡®Madam Bai¡¯ matters to me?¡±
¡°Mom knows that it doesn¡¯t matter to you.¡± Ye Yunzhi¡¯s gaze was filled with helplessness. ¡°But we truly don¡¯t have any other methods¡¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t Bai Qinghao tell you guys?¡± Fang Xinxin was expressionless. ¡°If we can¡¯t have a child, we¡¯ll adopt one.¡±
¡°Nonsense!¡± Bai Chongshan raised his voice. ¡°Those children won¡¯t be of the Bai family¡¯s bloodline. Even Huang Zhishu and her children are an eyesore. I definitely won¡¯t agree to adopting!¡±
Fang Xinxin nced at them indifferently. ¡°If you¡¯ve already decided to find Bai Qinghao another woman, why did youe to me?¡±
She did not care for the Bai family¡¯s elders¡¯ decisions.
At most, after her feelings towards them faded, she would never speak to them again.
Regardless, she had utmost confidence that Bai Qinghao would not touch another woman.
Ye Yunzhi began carefully. ¡°Your grandfather, your father and I, all respect you. Although we¡¯ve begun considering this two months ago, we¡¯ve never done anything. We¡¯ve also never brought any women to Qinghao.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°That is why I still addressed you as ¡®Mom¡¯ today.¡± She then turned to Bai Chongshan.. ¡°And you as ¡®Grandfather¡¯.¡±

¡°If you really send a woman to Bai Qinghao¡¯s side, don¡¯t me me for cutting off all rtions with you guys.¡±
Her words were not threatening. In fact, she spoke to them with a smile.
However, Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi understood that she was absolutely serious.
¡°Qinghao is head over heels in love with you. We had thought you could advise him to have a child with someone else.¡± Ye Yunzhi shook her head. ¡°It seems like you won¡¯t help us them.¡±
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. ¡°Mother-inw, if you had been unable to have a child yourself, would you have advised your husband to have a child with someone else?¡±
¡°I¡¡± She absolutely would not. How could she possibly give her own husband to someone else! Ye Yunzhi was left speechless.
¡°Looking at your expression, it seems like you would be unwilling.¡± Fang Xinxin spoke coldly and indifferently. ¡°Do unto others as you would have them do unto yourself. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t need me to teach you something as simple as this.¡±
¡°Xinxin, she is your mother-inw! How could you speak to an elder like this!¡± Elder Bai Chongshan reprimanded harshly.
Before Fang Xinxin could respond, a man spoke up coldly. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re acting like elders right now?!¡±
The three of them turned towards the entrance and watched as Bai Qinghao stepped into the living room. He had been the one to speak up earlier.
Following his appearance, the living room seemed to turn several degrees colder. His aura became threatening as well.
Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi immediately appeared like children who had made mistakes. They did not dare to speak up again.
They came today because they knew Qinghao had gone to work. Why did he return?
Fang Xinxin stood up from the couch and approached Bai Qinghao. ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave to thepany?¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s frigid gazended on Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi. Both of them sat stiffly as they felt an invisible pressing down on them.
¡°The elders have made a mistake. I naturally should be here to handle this matter.¡± Bai Qinghao lifted his hand and caressed Fang Xinxin¡¯s hair gently.
From his words, it was clear he had overheard their conversation from earlier.
¡°What do you mean by a mistake?¡± Bai Chongshan was angry. ¡°I¡¯m doing this for the Bai family¡¯s future.¡±
¡°The Bai family has strict rules and has never likedplicated, messy rtionships.¡± Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. ¡°Grandfather, you once said that in the Bai family, it would be the highest insult for a man to be with another woman while he was still married to one. How could youe up with the thought of handing me another woman? Of course, that is your wishful thinking.¡±
He gently tucked Xinxin¡¯s hair behind her ear. ¡°I¡¯ve said this before, but I absolutely won¡¯t touch any other woman besides Xinxin.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Elder Bai stood up in anger. ¡°I don¡¯t wish to do this either. But the Bai family needs a sessor!¡±
¡°In that case, let me tell you honestly.¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. ¡°Aside from Fang Xinxin, I¡¯ve never felt the desire for any other women. Just the thought of touching someone else leaves me disgusted.¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible¡¡± Although Bai Chongshan said so, he also understood that Qinghao had never nced at any other women since he was young.
¡°It¡¯s the truth.¡± Bai Qinghao brought Xinxin into his arms and guided her towards the couch to sit down.
He then made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture to Elder Bai Chongshan. ¡°Grandfather, please sit down.¡±
He then turned to Ye Yunzhi. ¡°Mother, you as well.. I have something to discuss with the both of you.¡±

Bai Qinghao began to recount the incident when he had fallen from the ne into the ocean. Back then, he had been seriously injured when they encountered the shark¡ At the most critical moment, it was Xinxin who had remained by his side despite the risks.
He then detailed every single event they encountered while they had been missing.
Bai Qinghao then concluded expressionlessly. ¡°Back when we were on that uninhabited ind, Xinxin never once resented me, no matter how tough our days became. I was the reason why shended in those circumstances. I won¡¯t go into how we depended on each other for survival during the game. If it wasn¡¯t for Xinxin, I would already have died when Inded in the ocean, or when I met with the shark. If I was dead, would you be able to sit here and discuss her difficulties regarding conceiving right now?¡±
Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi fell silent and lowered their heads.
When Qinghao returned, he had mentioned that Xinxin had saved him.
They had both assumed Qinghao only said so for the Bai family to treat her better.
They did not expect this to be the truth, or for the process to be this frightening!
¡°And you.¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s cold gazended on Ye Yunzhi. ¡°Mom, back when the vase came crashing down Guo Mao building, if it wasn¡¯t for Xinxin, you would already have died. Would you be able to sit here and give Xinxin this unfair pressure?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Ye Yunzhi opened her mouth.
¡°This is myst warning to both of you. You¡¯re not allowed to interfere with our difficulties regarding conceiving. Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for cutting off rtions with the both of you!¡± Bai Qinghao¡¯s tone was threatening.
Bai Chongshan and Ye Yunzhi knew that he would absolutely keep to his words.
¡°Fine!¡± Bai Chongshan sighed heavily. ¡°I don¡¯t wish to lose such a good grandson.¡± He then turned to Fang Xinxin. ¡°Or such a good granddaughter-inw. I won¡¯t interfere even if the both of you don¡¯t end up having any children.¡±
¡°Xinxin, Mom was wrong.¡± Ye Yunzhi¡¯s expression was filled with regret. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯ve been through so much with Qinghao.¡± She began to tear up from the after-fear. ¡°Qinghao is right. If it wasn¡¯t for you, both Qinghao and I wouldn¡¯t be here. I¡¯m fine with this. Everything is well as long as you are both alive and safe. I won¡¯t force the issue about having a sessor again.¡±
¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Fang Xinxin thanked her sincerely.
Ye Yunzhi and Bai Chongshan were both people who honored their words and had conscience.
Since they had let go of the matter, she was sure they would not bring up this matter again.
The two of them expressed their concerns for Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin for a little while longer before leaving.
Fang Xinxin asked Bai Qinghao. ¡°Why don¡¯t I see your father? I don¡¯t think he has ever brought up my difficulties with conceiving.¡±
¡°He understands my character well and knows that there¡¯s no use trying to change my mind. He is fine with letting us be.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
A whileter, Bodyguard Liu Li stepped in with an envelope in his hand. ¡°Boss, you previously instructed this subordinate to look into Guan Jiping and Huang Zhishu¡¯s affairs for the past forty over years. I have some results. Please look at these two photos.¡±
He handed the envelope over.
Bai Qinghao received it from where he sat on the couch. He brought two ck and white photos out of it.
In the first photo, Guan Jiping appeared in his early twenties as he stood in a courtyard. There was a luxurious vi behind him.
Fang Xinxin immediately recognised the vi. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Long family¡¯s courtyard?¡±
¡°Madam has keen eyes..¡± Liu Li nodded.
Chapter 881 - Happy Ending (14)
Chapter 881: Happy Ending (14)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
He nced at Fang Xinxin in admiration and continued. ¡°Guan Jiping took that photo in the Long family¡¯s courtyard. Twenty years ago, Guan Jiping was a servant in the Long family and he had even earned the favor of your Grandfather, Long Jingyuan. Later, he told the Long family that he wished to start his own business and resigned. Back then, Director Long Jingyuan even gave him a sum of money to support his business. However, after leaving the Long family, he did not contact any of the Long family¡¯s members again.¡±
Bai Qinghao then turned to the second photo.
In the photo, Guan Jiping appeared to be in his twenties and held an attractive young woman in his arms.
The woman had her hair in a braid. Her refined and beautiful features were familiar.
Bai Qinghao immediately recognised her. ¡°The woman in this photo is¡ Huang Zhishu?¡±
Fang Xinxin looked at it carefully. Huang Zhishu normally was dressed to appear graceful and wealthy. Her hair was up in a bun most of the time.
However, the woman in the photo did clearly resemble Huang Zhishu.
She nced at Bai Qinghao. ¡°Hubby, this is really your aunt, Huang Zhishu. It seems like Guan Jiping¡¯s rtionship with her isn¡¯t simple.¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s gaze turned slightly heavy.
Liu Li began his detailed report. ¡°In the past few years, Guan Jiping has taken up variousbor jobs. Most recently, he is working as a delivery man. The few friends he has all say that he is a quiet and content man. If we look at the past few years, it seems like there is nothing suspicious about him. I visited Guan Jiping¡¯s hometown and spoke to almost everyone familiar with him. It was only then that I found out that he used to be a servant in the Long family. Furthermore, one of his rtives said that he used to date a girl while he was serving in the Long family. At the time Guan Jiping even announced that he would marry the girl. The two photos you see are the ones Guan Jiping mailed to his parents back then. Afterwards, it is uncertain why Guan Jiping did not marry her and even choose to stop working for the Long family. After Guan Jiping¡¯s parents passed away, he stopped returning to his hometown. I retrieved these photos from a metal tin beneath his parent¡¯s bed in their old home.¡±
Bai Qinghao frowned as he asked coldly. ¡°What about Huang Zhishu?¡±
¡°Huang Zhishu was born into poverty. All of her old neighbors im that she was a quiet and reserved girl. However, after she failed her high school entrance examinations, she went missing for three years. Someone imed she had eloped with a gangster. However, Huang Zhishu returned three yearster and told everyone that she had simply left the town to work. She even told them that she was still an innocent youngdy and had never been in love. As the Huang family had a good reputation, no one spoke poorly about her. Soon after, she brought Boss¡¯s Uncle, Bai Pu, home to meet her parents. Afterwards, she married into the Bai home.¡±
Liu Li paused for a moment and continued. ¡°This subordinate also heard from Qian Yang, the chauffeur that worked for Boss¡¯s Uncle while he was alive, that he had a girlfriend before he married Huang Zhishu. The girlfriend¡¯s name was Hu Lewei and the two had been deeply in love. However, Bai Pu was very yful and enjoyed flirting around. Once, he had fallen down when he was very drunk. At the time, it was Huang Zhishu who took him to the hospital. She even cared for him very carefully. Due to this, the two grew familiar. Huang Zhishu frequently volunteered at the orphanage and Bai Pu would asionally apany her there. As they interacted more with the children, they grew fond of a young boy in the orphanage named Huan Huan, as well as a young girl named Xixi.. Qian Yang says he was only a chauffeur and wasn¡¯t fully aware of the events that transpired between them.¡±
Chapter 882 - Happy Ending (15)
Chapter 882: Happy Ending (15)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°What he is certain about is that ever since Bai Pu met Huang Zhishu, his rtionship with his girlfriend worsened. In contrast, his rtionship with Huang Zhishu turned more and more ambiguous by the day. Bai Pu once told him of an incident that left a lot of impression on him. It was that, after Hu Lewei had a fight with him, she went to drink at a bar and became very drunk. She then slept with another man. Originally, Bai Pu nned on marrying Hu Lewei but after the incident, he broke up with her. For a long period, he was very depressed. It was Huang Zhishu who remained by his side tofort him. Thus, Huang Zhishu became Bai Pu¡¯s wife. After their marriage, they realized that Bai Pu could not have children. Thus, under Huang Zhishu¡¯s suggestion, they adopted Huan Huan and Xi Xi from the orphanage. After Huan Huan entered the Bai family, he was renamed as Bai Chenxi. Xi Xi was renamed to be Bai Jingrou. After Bai Pu passed away, his chauffeur left the family. Since Madam instructed me to investigate Huang Zhishu, I naturally looked into Bai Pu¡¯s affairs while he was alive.¡±
Bai Qinghao praised him expressionlessly. ¡°Well done.¡±
Liu Li immediately appeared grateful to the point where it seemed like he would cry. ¡°Boss, you¡¯ve never praised this subordinate. Those words of yours truly bring this subordinate glory.¡±
¡°Quit ttering.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Liu Li straightened his back. Nheless, he remained overjoyed internally.
After all, Boss rarely praised anyone. Of course, his beloved wife was an exception.
¡°Boss, when ites to your aunt, Huang Zhishu, both the people who have known her in the past and the present only have good things to say about her. They say that she is virtuous, refined, well-brought up and not one to cause trouble.¡± Liu Li continued. ¡°Furthermore, it seems like she has never done anything out of line in the Bai family.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qinghao was deep in thought. ¡°It seems like this woman hid her true colors too well. In the three years she disappeared¡ Huan Huan, Xi Xi¡¡±
He lowered his head to look at Huang Zhishu and Guan Jiping¡¯s photo. He instructed in a heavy voice. ¡°Visit the prison and draw a vial of Bai Jingrou¡¯s blood. Take some from Bai Chenxi as well. Do a DNA test for their blood with Guan Jiping¡¯s and Huang Zhishu¡¯s.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Liu Li turned to leave.
Bai Qinghao added. ¡°Investigate further about Bai Pu¡¯s ex-girlfriend, Hu Lewei.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡±
After Liu Li left, Fang Xinxin continued scanning Guan Jiping¡¯s photo. She said to Bai Qinghao, ¡°Hubby, looking closely, Guan Jiping seems to somewhat resemble Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou.¡±
¡°Furthermore, the siblings are only one year apart in age. Aren¡¯t the three years Huang Zhishu disappeared just perfect for her to have two children with Guan Jiping?¡±
¡°If that is the case¡¡± Fang Xinxin could not help but tremble. ¡°Huang Zhishu forced Hu Lewei aside to take her position. Your Uncle Bai Pu was not only cheated on, he even weed Huang Zhishu¡¯s children into the Bai family with open arms. This woman is really too capable!¡±
Bai Qinghao¡¯s expression was especially poor. ¡°I recall that Uncle Bai Pu had praised Huang Zhishu heavily that year. He even imed that he had thoroughly investigated Huang Zhishu¡¯s past and confirmed that she was an obedient and virtuous woman. At the time, he was yful and rebellious. Grandfather was disappointed in him and did not have the time to manage his affairs. When he said he wanted to marry Huang Zhishu, Grandfather said that she seemed to be an innocent youngdy and left him be. Now it seems like I really have to thank that dead uncle of mine. He weed three wolves into our family.¡±
He brought Fang Xinxin into his arms. ¡°My wife, thankfully, you suggested that we investigate Huang Zhishu. Otherwise, I¡¯m not sure when I would have ever found out about this.¡±
She watched him heavily.. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about anything else, but you previously discovered that Xiang Feili came into contact with Guan Jiping¡ Xiang Feili is a wanted criminal.¡±
Chapter 883 - Happy Ending (16)

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
¡°Xiang Feili has gone into hiding due to my pursuit. She can¡¯t even protect herself right now.¡± Bai Qinghao was unfazed. ¡°Back then, she hid herself while sending her men after me. I did not know her identity at the time. But since I now know who she is, it¡¯s an easy matter for me to erase her.¡±
¡°En.¡± She nodded. ¡°You should still be careful.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± He gently patted her back. ¡°I won¡¯t put you in any danger again.¡±
As for everyone else, even if Xiang Feili took hold of them, they would be no threat to him.
He also sent extra subordinates to guard the Bai family¡¯s elders.
¡
In the Bai family¡¯s old mansion, Bodyguard Liu Li brought a team of men to barge into the Jing Xin Residence.
Inside the living room, Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu, who seemed to be discussing something, immediately stood up.
¡°Liu Li, what do you mean by this!¡± Bai Chenxi raised his voice. ¡°This is the Jing Xin Residence, the home that we have been given by the Bai family. Even if you are Bai Qinghao¡¯s trusted bodyguard, I am still the Bai family¡¯s people. You cannot barge into our home!¡±
Liu Li paid him no heed.
He shot the men behind him a look. Four bodyguards immediately held Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu¡¯s arms.
A woman dressed in a nurse uniform approached them with a medicine box in her hands. She brought out a syringe and came to Bai Chenxi¡¯s side. She then tugged his sleeve back.
Bai Chenxi seemed to understand something. He turned pale and shouted. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
He struggled with all his might and the nurse was unable to draw his blood.
Two bodyguards pressed his arms behind his back and shoved his body down. They held his head against the coffee table firmly and Bai Chenxi was immediately left unable to move.
Seeing that it was inconvenient to use a syringe this way, the nurse tugged his sleeves back and gave up on the syringe. She used a surgical knife to make a small cut on his wrist and collected some blood.
¡°What exactly are you up to?¡± Bai Chenxi shouted in fear.
The nurse did not respond. She then held the syringe to approach Huang Zhishu¡¯s side.
Huang Zhishu immediately frowned. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯m half an owner of the Bai family. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯llin to Elder Bai and get all of you fired?¡±
¡°Who are you trying to scare?¡± Liu Li was unfazed. ¡°In the Bai family, Boss¡¯s words are always final. Elder Bai cannot interfere with the order. Don¡¯t talk about getting me fired. You should worry about yourself first.¡±
Huang Zhishu knew that there was no use in resisting. Thus, she obediently allowed the nurse to draw her blood.
Her voice was trembling as she asked. ¡°Bodyguard Liu, why are you taking our blood? Is it¡ for a health check-up?¡±
¡°You sure have some wishful thinking.¡± Liu Li smiled coldly. ¡°You know better than anyone what it¡¯s for!¡±
He would not allow this old woman to get anything out of him.
Huang Zhishu appeared as pale as a sheet of paper. Could it be that Chenxi¡¯s identity was discovered?
And Jingrou¡ she was currently blind and paralysed in jail¡
If Chenxi and Jingrou¡¯s identities were revealed, their family would be doomed!
They could not afford to take this risk. Huang Zhishu decided to take Chenxi to escape the moment Liu Li left.
Liu Li noticed the dark, scheming look on the old woman¡¯s face and was certain that she wasing up with ideas again. ¡°Do you wish to run? You won¡¯t have the opportunity to. Boss has instructed us to tie and lock the both of you up! You will be watched heavily!¡±
Bai Chenxi instantly turned pale. He began trembling from head to toe.
Huang Zhishu was simrly shivering. She could barely stand.
The two of them were dragged into the Bai family¡¯s cells.
When Elder Bai learned that the two of them were locked up, he immediately called Bai Qinghao for an exnation.
Bai Qinghao only informed him to not interfere, and that he would exin everythingter.

Three dayster, in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s living room.
Elder Bai Chongshan sat on the luxurious, red wook sofa. His second son, Bai Hong, and his wife, Ye Yunzhi, stood by his side.
His eldest daughter-inw, Huang Zhishu, and his adopted grandson Bai Chenxi were tied up and remained kneeling before him.
Several bodyguards dressed in ck suits expressionlessly waited for their instructions by the side.
Bai Chongshan nced towards the entrance every so often. ¡°Qinghao called all of us to gather here¡¡± He then nced towards Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi. ¡°He even made the two of them kneel here. I wonder why exactly¡¡±
¡°Dad, please let Chenxi and I go.¡± Huang Zhishu was in tears. ¡°I don¡¯t know how we offended Qinghao. He even tied his own aunt up. You know that I¡¯ve always been obedient. I don¡¯t cause trouble¡¡±
She was lying straight to his face. In this moment, she could only pray that the old thing¡¯s heart would soften and allow her and Chenxi the opportunity to escape before Bai Qinghao arrived.
Elder Bai Chongshan was an intelligent man. ¡°I have the feeling this isn¡¯t rted to offending him. Furthermore, it seems like there is a very serious issue. Let¡¯s wait for him toe before we talk.¡±
¡°Grandfather, please let me go first.¡± Bai Chenxi was pale as he begged. ¡°Although I was adopted, I¡¯m still your grandson.¡±
¡°Enough!¡± The elder frowned. He was confused by their behavior. ¡°Although, both of you have always been afraid of Qinghao, it has never been to this extent. What on earth happened?¡±
Bai Chenxi refused to give up. ¡°Grandfather, untie me first.¡±
Elder Bai nced at Liu Li and the group of bodyguards behind him. ¡°They¡¯ll only listen to Qinghao¡¯s orders. There¡¯s no point even if I say anything.¡±
Bai Qinghao stepped into the living room shoulder-to-shoulder with Fang Xinxin. His tall and broad-shouldered figure was a stark contrast to her slender one.
¡°Is everyone here?¡± Bai Qinghao scanned the ce indifferently.
Following his cold gaze, the temperature in the living room seemed to fall. Everyone present in the room felt a heavy pressure and it left them trembling.
Huang Zhishu and her son immediately stopped begging for mercy and fell silent.
¡°Qinghao, what exactly is going on?¡± Elder Bai Chongshan¡¯s grey brows furrowed as he asked the question.
Bai Qinghao shot Bodyguard Liu Li a look. Liu Li immediately understood and began recounting the findings on Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu, Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou.
When the Elder heard the story, his expression turned heavy. He did not say anything though.
Huang Zhishu demanded in anger. ¡°What can you prove with this? So what if I used to know Guan Jiping twenty years ago!¡±
At the moment, a middle-aged man with an average appearance and a rather tan skin tone was shoved into the living room by one of the bodyguards.
Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi were shocked to see that it was Guan Jiping.
Bai Qinghao began coldly. ¡°Guan Jiping, answer Huang Zhishu. Twenty years ago, were the two of you just acquaintances?¡±
The bodyguards forced Guan Jiping to kneel down next to Huang Zhishu and his son. He was covered in cold sweat but he lowered his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s true that we weren¡¯t especially close.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qinghao was expressionless. ¡°You sure have a harmonious family.¡±
Liu Li continued reporting. ¡°Elder, this subordinate has investigated everything. Twenty years ago, before Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou were adopted, they were not actually orphans. Huang Zhisu had bribed the orphanage director to temporarily keep the children there. Huang Zhishu then deliberately brought your eldest son, Bai Pu, to that orphanage for volunteering so that he would develop fond feelings for the children.. This was so she would be able to adopt them into the Bai family eventually.¡±

When Elder Bai Chongshan heard this, his expression turned especially serious. He asked Huang Zhishu sternly. ¡°Speak. Who are Chenxi and Jingrou¡¯s actual parents? Why did you lie to my son, Bai Pu, and to the entire Bai family?¡±
Huang Zhishu was so nervous that her body turnedpletely stiff. She continued lying through her teeth though. ¡°They¡ they are the children that a good friend of mine left behind when she passed. I only had good intentions. I didn¡¯t mean to lie to the Bai family¡¡±
Although the truth was nearly exposed, she would not admit to it even if they threatened her with death.
¡°Enough!¡± Bai Chongshan waved his hand. ¡°I don¡¯t wish to listen to your lies.¡±
He turned to Bai Qinghao. ¡°Qinghao. Tell me. What exactly is the truth?¡±
Bai Qinghao handed a document envelope to Elder Bai Chongshan. ¡°Two days ago, I had my subordinates lock up Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi. Their blood was drawn, along with Bai Jingrou¡¯s, and a DNA test was done. Here are the results. Take a look at them.¡±
Elder Bai Chongshan received the envelope and pulled the document out to read. The results indicated that Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou were Huang Zhishu¡¯s birth children and their biological father was Guan Jiping.
In other words, Guan Jiping and Huang Zhishu, the shameful couple, had given birth to Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou.
After marrying Bai Pu, Huang Zhishu actually came up with the cunning scheme to bring Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou into the Bai family and for them to be the Bai family¡¯s adopted children!
Bai Chongshan was deeply affected by the results. He turned pale and leaned back weakly against the couch.
Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi stood by his side and naturally saw the contents of the documents. Their expressions were just as poor.
¡°My brother was truly too foolish! He led the wolves straight into our home!¡± Bai Hongshed out in anger.
¡°Back then, we all urged Brother to be more careful and to not bring children with unclear backgrounds into the Bai home. He assured us firmly that he had confirmed that Chenxi and Jingrou¡¯s parents were no longer around. He was truly fooled by Huang Zhishu!¡± Ye Yunzhi was also very upset.
Elder Bai slowly regained hisposure. He tossed the documents in front of Huang Zhishu in anger. ¡°Huang one, this is what you meant when you said Chenxi and Jingrou were orphans? You were clearly working with Guan Jiping to fool my son, Bai Pu. You were greedy for the entire Bai family¡¯s glory and wealth! Your family has been sucking our Bai family¡¯s blood for years and fooling us into raising the children you had with another man! How despicable! Thankfully, my son is already dead. Otherwise, he would most likely be angered to death right now!¡±
Huang Zhishu looked at the DNA results tossed onto the ground and knew there was no point in denying it any further. She was in tears. ¡°Father, I was wrong! Back then, I was truly in love with Bai Pu, but by then I had already given birth to Chenxi and Jingrou. As a mother, I couldn¡¯t abandon my children. I had no other options but to use this method to conceal the truth and bring them into the Bai family.¡±
Guan Jiping nced at Huang Zhishu with aplicated expression.
He truly both loved and hated this woman.
Back then, they had been deeply in love and she had given birth to two children for him. However, after she met Bai Pu, she grew greedy and kicked him aside without any hesitation.
She begged him to help conceal the truth from Bai Pu and even said that he didn¡¯t have the ability to give their children a good future. She imed that Bai Pu was different, and that he could transform their children into the future Bai family¡¯s young master and young mistress. This was a great fortune they could never hope to attain otherwise.. For the sake of their children, he eventually gave into her ns.

Afterwards, he watched from afar as the three of them enjoyed glory and wealth. They appeared to be dazzling and beautiful.
This led him to believe that her decision was right.
Initially, he felt a little apologetic towards the Bai family. Gradually, however, he began to grow greedy.
He and his two children began to desire for the entire Bai family¡¯s wealth.
Thus, after getting to know Xiang Feili, he was willing to be her lover. He felt that that woman could give him the support he needed. Hence, he focused on pleasing her.
Under his instigations, Xiang Feili acted as he desired and attempted to assassinate Bai Qinghao on several asions.
He originally thought that after using Xiang Feili, he would kill her while her guard was down and steal her wealth.
He did not expect for his rtionship with Chenxi and Jingrou to be exposed at this juncture!
Liu Li then reported another matter. ¡°Elder, this subordinate also found Bai Pu¡¯s ex-girlfriend, Hu Lewei. She says that back when Bai Pu caught her for sleeping with another man, in truth, she had been drugged and framed in that matter. It was a pity that Bai Pu did not believe in her. Afterwards, she was a victim of high-rise littering and became seriously injured. She nearly died and though she managed to be saved, she has since be half-paralysed and is unable to move her body.¡±
Ye Yunzhi was astonished. ¡°A while ago, I was nearly hit by the vase which Guan Jiping had tossed out of the window¡¡± She pointed at Guan Jiping in rage. ¡°It must be you. You must have tried to kill Hu Lewei.¡±
By this point, Guan Jiping knew that they were doomed. He gave up on lying. ¡°So what if it¡¯s me? If I didn¡¯t paralyze her, she could very possibly reunite with Bai Pu. She would then obstruct Zhishu¡¯s path.¡±
Huang Zhishu turned to Guan Jiping in shock. ¡°You¡¯ve gone mad! How could you admit to it?¡±
¡°What sort of person is Bai Qinghao? Do you think he would let us off after all we¡¯ve done? Think about his usual, ruthless approach.¡± Guan Jiping¡¯s smile was slightly maniacal and hisplexion was pale. ¡°Who would have thought? We spent our entire lives building this scheme but it was all for naught. Now we¡¯re on the verge of losing our lives.¡±
Bai Qinghao shot him an approving nce. His voice was as cold as that of the death god himself. ¡°You sure understand me well.¡±
Elder Bai Chongshan smiled in despair. All of a sudden, his expression turned stern. ¡°Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu, both of you deliberately schemed and used ruthless methods to fool my son, Bai Pu and hurt his girlfriend, Hu Lewei. The two of you deserve far worse than death! Servants! Beat Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi to death!¡±
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to carry out his orders.
When Huang Zhishu and Guan Jiping heard this, they immediately turned pale from fright. They fell backwards sitting on the ground.
Bai Chenxi crawled towards Bai Chongshan sobbing. ¡°Grandfather, please forgive me. I knew nothing about my parents¡¯ schemes. I¡¯ve been in the Bai home for over twenty years and I¡¯ve always treated you like my grandfather. Grandfather, please forgive me!¡±
Huang Zhishu simrly begged for mercy. ¡°Father, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I¡¯ve made an irreversible mistake but I had Chenxi and Jingrou before I was married. I didn¡¯t cheat! I shouldn¡¯t have been greedy for the Bai family¡¯s wealth. I shouldn¡¯t have raised my children this poorly. Father, I¡¯ve been your daughter-inw for over twenty years. Please take that into ount and let me live!¡±
Elder Bai Chongshan appeared slightly affected by their words.
After all, he did have some feelings for Zhishu, Chenxi and Jingrou.
However, he felt more hate towards them!
Guan Jiping acted like a proper man. ¡°Elder Bai, I was the one who instigated them into doing all of this. If you must kill someone, kill me..¡± By this point, they would be lucky to keep even one of them alive.

Bai Hong spoke up. ¡°Father, you mustn¡¯t let your heart soften. Looking at the circumstances, it seems like Bai Chenxi and Bai jingrou have always known who their birth parents are. This means that even after Huang Zhishu married my brother, she has been in contact with Guan Jiping. This cannot be tolerated.¡±e
Fang Xinxin also chimed in. ¡°Grandfather, Qinghao has caught the capable right hand man of Dark Moon¡¯s head, Xiang Feili. ording to the man, Guan Jiping has been acting as Xiang Feili¡¯s gigolo during this time. He was the one who fooled Xiang Feili into believing that Qjnghao chopped off two of his fingers. Xiang Feili was lured into wanting to take revenge on his behalf. That is why she secretly attempted to kill Qjnghao several times.¡±
When Elder Bai heard this, he nced towards Guan Jiping and discovered that the man¡¯s left hand was missing two fingers. He asked Qinghao. ¡°Did you take his fingers That doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Bai Qinghao shook his head
¡°You even framed my grandson.¡± Elder Bai¡¯s heart instantly hardened once more. These bastards had nearly caused him to lose his only grandson. If Qjnghao had failed to return..
There was no way he would be able to ept such a blow.
Bai Chongshan sighed. He instantly seemed to appear much old and much more exhausted. He waved his hand. ¡°Qinghao, deal with them as you please.
There¡¯s no need to give Grandfather any face.¡±
Bai Qinghao nodded. ¡°Take them away. Hand Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi over to Xiang Feili. Give her the DNA results as well.¡±
The three of them instantly paled.
Guan Jiping has always acted as a gigolo and fooled Xiang Feili into believing that he was spending his life as an unmarried man for her sake.
Xiang Feili, that demon, did not have the ability to conceive. He even lied that he did not wish to have children.
If she found out that they had fooled her thoroughly, considering that woman¡¯s vicious ways..
It was a pity that the Bai family did not give them any opportunity to protest.
Their lips were sealed with tape and they were immediately dragged away.
Elder Bai felt that his son, Bai Pu, owed his ex-girlfriend Hu Lewei too much.
Thus, he sent someone to give Hu Lewei a sum of money.
At the thought of Hu Lewei¡¯s state, Yu Yunzhi felt that if it wasn¡¯t for Fang Xinxin, she could have ended up in the same situation.
Thus, Ye Yunzhi began to treat Fang Xinxin even better.
Three dayster, Bai Chenxi, Huang Zhishu and Guan Jiping¡¯s bodies were found floating in the ocean.
News that the three of them were involved in a heinous scheme to kill for wealth was exposed. To the outside world, it was made to seem like they hadmitted suicide out of guilt.
In jail, Bai Jingrou, who was both blind and paralysed, had been holding onto herst living breath in hopes that her rtives would kill Fang Xinxin.
However, Fang Xinxin continued to live on well. Frightened by the horrible news, she tied her clothes onto the pipe in the restroom that night and killed herself by hanging
Xiang Feili was grateful to Bai Qinghao for exposing the truth to her. She guaranteed that she would never pursue Bai Qinghao again, nor did she wish to be pursued by Bai Qinghao¡¯s men. Thus, she decided to stand on Bai Qinghao¡¯s side and became his subordinate.
Elder Bai Chongshan was never that close to Huang Zhishu and her children Although he was upset for some time, he slowly processed it and left the hurt behind.
Soon, a year had passed. Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao continued to spend their sweet, blissful days in Yu Ting Vi. Their love was as strong as when their rtionship first began. Every so often, they would return to the Bai family¡¯s mansion to apany Elder Bai.
The only regret they had was that there was still no news from Fang Xinxin¡¯s stomach.
That afternoon, Fang Xinxin headed to the old Bai family¡¯s mansion and met Jiang Xingnan beneath one of the trees in the backyard..

Jiang Xingnan¡¯s youthful features had changed and he now appeared much more mature. Although his temper appeared as willful as ever, he now seemed capable of enduring powerful storms.
¡°Are you surprised to see me? Jiang Xingnan¡¯s signature grin remained the same as ever.
Fang Xinxin smiled. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since Ist saw you.¡±
¡°Tve been abroad doing business for the past two years.¡± Jiang Xingnan took in her stunning features. I came back to see Grandfather Bai, and you.¡±
Fang Xinxin knew that jiang Xingnan was Elder Bai Chongshan¡¯s godson. It wasn¡¯t strange for him toe visiting Elder Bai.
Your figure has be even better and you¡¯re as beautiful as ever.¡± Jiang Xingnan was not stingy with his praises. ¡°What a pity. I was going to wait for you to be kicked out of the Bai family. Afterwards, I would show mercy and take you in. Who would have thought that you¡¯re not just a capable business woman but the director of Jiao Yang Group. You¡¯re even the Long Group¡¯s only heiress, and the internationally renowned fashion designer, Alice. Bai Qjnghao also loves you dearly. It seems you have a firm grip on the title of Madam Bai.¡±
¡°Back then, why did you think I wouldn¡¯tst?¡±
¡°Because of Huang Zhishu and her children. They aren¡¯t good people and they hid it well all this while. I didn¡¯t have any evidence but I was certain you would struggle beneath their hands. Who would have thought that their schemes would be entirely exposed and you would bepletely unharmed.¡± Jiang Xingnan felt a littleforted as he continued. ¡°Fang Xinxin, to be honest, if you don¡¯t leave the Bai family, I won¡¯t have the ability topete against Bai Qinghao for you. So I can only offer you my blessings.¡±
Thank you.¡± Fang Xinxin smiled lightly.
His gazended on her t stomach. ¡°It¡¯s a pity though. The both of you are so loving yet you don¡¯t have any children.¡± He then changed the topic. ¡°I remember that your brother¡¯s daughter has tuned one year old.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± She nodded. Little Aixin was already one year old. Her brother¡¯s family was doing very well.
¡°If the two of you also had a baby, things would be perfect.. ¡± Jiang Xingnan sighed.
Fang Xinxin appeared to have epted this matter. ¡°To be able to share this life with Bai Qjnghao, Im already very content.¡±
In their previous life, Bai Jingrou¡¯s scheme had left her both paralysed and blind. Bai Qinghao then subsequently sacrificed his life in order to protect her.
Back when they had been forced to jump off that building, they were being pursued by Xiang Feili¡¯s people.
In this life, she was not only unharmed, Xiang Feili had also be Bai Qinghao¡¯s subordinate.
A lot of the problems they had met with had been resolved.
The Bai family¡¯s elders also no longer pressured her for a child.
It wasn¡¯t right for her to ask for more, was it?
Xinxin changed the topic. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s talk about you. You¡¯re not young anymore. It¡¯s time you found a partner.¡±
He smiled. ¡°If I meet a woman as beautiful and intelligent as you, perhaps Ill consider it.¡±
It was a pity that there was no one like her.
He decided to take this matter naturally. He would not force it.
Fang Xinxin chatted idly with him for a while longer.
In the evening, in the Bai family¡¯s old mansion¡¯s dining room, the luxurious red wood dining table was covered in extravagant dishes. There were braised pork, abalone, Buddha Jumps Over The Wal.and many others. Every dish appeared delectable.
Bai Chongshan, Bai Qinghao, Fang Xinxin, Bai Hong, Ye Yunzhi, and their guest, Jiang Xingnan, sat around the same table.
Bai Qinghao scooped a bowl of bird¡¯s nest porridge for Fang Xinxin. The three elders also kept cing more food in Fang Xinxin¡¯s bowl.

In the Bai family, she was indeed heavily doted on.
Fang Xinxin thanked the elders and had a spoonful of the bird¡¯s nest porridge.
All of a sudden, she spat it out. ¡°So fishy.
Thankfully, there was a trash bin by the side. She quickly turned and began vomiting.
Bai Qinghao patted her on the back gently in heartache. ¡°My wife, are you alright?
¡°The smell of the food is so disgusting. I feel like vomiting..¡± She suddenly stood up and ran for the restroom.
Bai Qinghao hurriedly followed after his wife. He found her standing before the sink and puking into it. However, it seemed like she was only dry heaving.
He frowned. His cold, handsome features were filled with heartache for her.
¡°My wife, did you eat something dirty?¡±
She gagged for a while longer before washing her face. She then said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
In the living room, Elder Bai took a bite of the bird¡¯s nest porridge. ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste fishy to me.¡±
¡°Our daughter-inw says that the food smells disgusting, but they seem fine to me...¡± Bai Hong tasted several dishes.
Ye Yunzhi seemed to have thought of something. She eximed. ¡°You say, looking at her reaction, could our daughter-inw be pregnant?¡±
¡°That¡¯s possible!¡± Elder Bai Chongshan and Bai Hong shouted unanimously.
Even Jiang Xingnan ced his cutlery down.
When Fang Xinxin returned from the bathroom, she found the three Bai family elders staring at her t stomach.
Ye Yunzhi really really hoped to have a grandchild. She could not be bothered to worry about the guest. She directly asked her. ¡°Daughter-inw, how long has your period been absent?¡±
Fang Xinxin finally recalled this matter. ¡°I think it¡¯ste by nearly a month.¡±
Her periods were, at times, irregr. Thus, this matter did not bother her.
¡°Xinxin might be pregnant!¡± Ye Yunzhi instructed the servants. ¡°Quick, call the doctor over to draw Xinxin¡¯s blood. Let¡¯s do a test to see if she¡¯s pregnant.¡±
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he immediately appeared nervous.
¡°Yes, Madam.¡± The servant quickly left tomake the call.
¡°Mom, are you thinking too much?¡± Fang Xinxin did not wish to let everyone down. What if she wasn¡¯t pregnant?
¡°That¡¯s fine. We should at least make sure of it.¡±
Since she said so, Xinxin decided to let her be.
Twenty minutester, Doctor Shi Qjan came by to draw Xinxin¡¯s blood. The sample was hurriedly sent to Jia Ya Hospital for an examination. Forty minutester, Bai Qinghao was informed of the results via phone call.
After ending the call, Bai Qinghao¡¯s appeared to be trembling.
¡°Qinghao, how is it?¡± Elder Bai Chongshan was the first to lose his patience.
The rest of them appeared to be holding their breaths.
Fang Xinxin was doing the same. She did not wish to let the Bai family down.
Truthfully, she also hoped to have a child with Xinxin.
¡°Xinxin is two months pregnant. I¡¯m going to be a father!¡± Bai Qinghao dered proudly. He waspletely overjoyed. For the first time, his gaze fully expressed his joy. His agitation even left his voice hoarse.
That¡¯s great!¡± Elder Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi all eximed their joy. They all felt that God was blessing them and the Bai family finally did not have to worry about a sessor. They were also thankful that they never gave Xinxin any pressure to have children.
Congrattions.¡± Jiang Xingnan smiled lightly. He was happy for her but also felt a little disappointed. After all, the woman he loved was pregnant but the tather was someone else.
Fang Xinxin stood dazedly in her position. She could not believe she was actually pregnant!
Afterwards, Bai Chongshan happily called Long Jingyuan, Long Xuan and even Fang Shaohua to inform them about this news.
Everyone was happy for Xinxin.
Following which, Fang Xinxin became the apple of everyone¡¯s eye. They took care of her gently and with utmost consideration, fearful that she coulde to the slightest bit of harm.
Eight monthster, Fang Xinxin gave birth to a baby boy. He was named Bai Haiyang. Bai Qinghao said this was tomemorate the days when they had fallen into the ocean and to remember the way his wife had apanied him despite the suffering.
On this day, the weather was pleasant and the sunshine was warm.
In the Yu Ting Vi¡¯s backyard, Fang Xinxinid on the recliner chair next to the pool to sunbathe.
All of a sudden, she felt a soft contact against her cheek.
She opened her eyes and saw that Bai Qinghao was holding their son, Haiyang, who was swaddled in a nket. He brought the little baby close to her and pressed a little kiss on her face.
Fang Xinxin¡¯s heart turned warm. she lifted her head to look at his cold features.
The moment their eyes met, she realized that his cold, sharp gaze was filled with his deep love for her.
Bai Qinghao took in his wife¡¯s stunning beauty. When he spoke, his voice was doting. ¡°My wife..¡±
¡°En? She responded lightly.
¡°I love you!¡± He truly did not know how else to fully express his feelings for her.
¡°T love you too.¡± She expressed her own feelings sincerely.
Bai Qinghao was deeply moved.
Although this wasn¡¯t the first time he heard these words, they always left him excited, blissful and overwhelmed.
He ced their baby in her arms and reached out to hold her, bringing her into his arms. He took in their adorable son for where heid in his wife¡¯s arms.
The little infant¡¯s cheeks were pink and his five features were stunning. His eyes were closed and he was in a deep sleep.
Bai Qinghao quickly felt overwhelmed with love for his son.
His gaze then shifted onto his beautiful wife. Love seemed to be pouring out from his heart without any end in sight.
There was nothing more he could ask for!
