Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

“”Right before the incident, a servant noticed Jingrou sneaking into Hao Chengsheng’s room. What would a wealthy young lady like her have to do in a servant’s room? It could only be to replace his medicine. Bai Jingrou also previously attempted to replace Xinxin’s red packet, worth eighteen million dollars, with a few hundred dollars. She clearly displayed that her character is lowly and evil. She poisoned the lake 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 accurate 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 escalated, 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 accompanied 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 pale complexion. “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 the companies 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 it comes 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 accept that.

It was due to Elder Bai’s interference that he finally understood Bai Jingrou’s schemes in the recent past.
