Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

“No.” Li Bingpan shook his head and respectfully handed over a cheque. “This is the fifteen thousand dollars she used to make me stay silent. In truth, there was no need for her to do so. Although she came to the room last night, she left right after retrieving her things. She said she cared too much for you and was worried you would misunderstand that something occurred between the two of us. She insisted that I take the money from her. I don’t dare to hide this from you, so I’m reporting this to you now. Earlier, you were in the room with Miss Fang and it wasn’t convenient for me to interrupt. Hence, I am bringing this up now.”

Fang Xinxin sat on Bai Qinghao’s lap as she listened to Li Bingpan’s report. He was completely going along with Fang Manxue’s instructions.

He hid the fact that Fang Manxue had climbed into his bed…

It seemed that just like in their previous life, Li Bingpan had been bought over by Fang Manxue this time around.

There was now an additional time bomb ticking away.

Bai Qinghao glanced at the cheque Li Bingpan was holding. He did not take it from him. “Since she gave it to you, you can keep it.”

“Boss, this…” Li Bingpan’s expression was frightened. “This subordinate does not dare!”

“I asked you to keep it. There’s no need to refuse.”

“…Yes, sir.” Li Bingpan apprehensively kept the cheque away.

Bai Qinghao waved his hand. All the bodyguards immediately understood his meaning and left the room.

Only the both of them were left in the living room.

Fang Xinxin glanced at Li Bingpan’s receding back. She asked him in concern. “Bai Qinghao, do you believe in Li Bingpan’s words?”

“It doesn’t matter one way or another.” Bai Qinghao did not care if Fang Manxue had climbed into Li Bingpan’s bed or not.

Last night’s video was lost and Fang Xinxin had no evidence to show.

The trust between Bai Qinghao and her was only recently established. It was a still very weak connect.

At the moment, Li Bingpan had yet to do anything that was actually out of line. There was more to lose than gain by getting rid of him right now.

Thus, she only said, “Li Bingpan cannot be trusted. You have to watch out for him.”

Bai Qinghao’s sharp gaze landed on her face. “You seem to know something?”

She pressed her small face against his firm chest. “I just don’t want you to be hurt.”

His frozen heart melted a little. The warm emotions slowly spread throughout his body. “Fang Xinxin, I hope that you’re being sincere.”

“Bai Qinghao, if my feelings for you are false, you can go ahead and… kill me.”

His body stiffened. His expression melted as he rubbed the back of her head dotingly. “Alright.”

He responded affirmatively to warn her. He didn’t want her reverting back to the way she was before.

However, his lips curved up into a bitter smile. She occupied so much of his heart. He dearly wished to dote on her and spoil her at every moment. How could he possibly hurt her?

Fang Lilan, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai returned after signing the contract to see that Fang Xinxin was casually seated on Bai Qinghao’s lap.

Their expressions changed at the same time.

The head accountant, Zhang Yuanzhi, stepped forward to report. “CEO, all the procedures have been completed. The amount the Fang family owes has been transferred back to the Sheng Shi Group. It includes Ms. Fang Lilan’s private properties, cars and stocks. They have been transferred to the Sheng Shi Group as mortgages. I have already obtained the signed documents from Ms. Fang Lilan and will directly visit the various departments to proceed. The contract for the remaining one hundred million dollars has also been signed. For the next three months, Fang Lilan, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai will only be able to eat ten different types of food.”
