Chapter 742: Throw Her In The Sea
“Why is it too much?” Bai Chongshan was unmoved. “Xinxin is my Bai family’s proper granddaughter-in-law. 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 accuse your cousin-in-law 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-in-law 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 relative? I believe that Old Long will welcome you at his home. You can leave anytime you please.”
Bai Jingrou urgently declared. “It’s true that my grandfather, Long Jingyuan, is happy to welcome 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 dollars and bought her some clothes and accessories. 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 glanced 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 become 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-in-law. I was a little disrespectful earlier. I shouldn’t have been so compassionate to the point where I even tried to stand up for the maid.”
Fang Xinxin raised her brows. “I didn’t think that you were compassionate 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-in-law, don’t mind an outsider. In the Bai home, Grandfather will always be on your side.”
Fang Xinxin was deeply moved.
…
Several hours later, 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 immediately commanded 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 Villa’s Butler Zhao Cheng’s voice. “I have something to report to you.”
