Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

“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 placed 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’t come home to eat again.” Bai Qinghao was expressionless. The Bai family’s men were similar 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 accomplished. 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 glanced 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 declare to the Bai family that she had become the Long Group’s successor. 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 successor was, it still could not compare 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 accumulated 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 palace!

Bai Jingrou was genuinely tempted to bring up her status as the Long Group’s successor.

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 the late 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.
