Chapter 154: A Family Of Three
“Your efficiency isn’t bad.”
“Thank you for the compliment, 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 sat comfortably on Bai Qinghao’s lap.
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 Lilan 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 his large 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’ll come by again when I’m free.”
After saying this, his suit-clad, broad and tall figure turned around to head out of the living room. The bodyguards guarding outside the door followed after him.
Fang Lilan 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 dollars, would you have still punished yourself?”
“In any case, I have admitted my wrong.” Fang Lilan 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 glanced 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 was completely 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 dollars.
Of course, she had accidentally 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 finally landing on Fang Lilan.
