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 exclaim. “The power of blood relations 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 slander Fang Xinxin in this way.”
“How could you possibly slander her?” Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes. “Carelessly placing 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 become 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 accusation won’t cause any harm to Fang Xinxin.” A hint of hatred flashed past Bai Jingrou’s eyes. “As of now, the only way for me to become the Long Group’s successor 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 plans 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 Villa’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 successor of the Long family, will declare to the world that you died from a heart attack.”
“That’s impossible!” Long Jingyuan slammed 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…”
