Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

“Grandfather, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Bai Jingrou appeared very innocent.

Bai Chongshan said, “In this period, the Long family’s security has been especially tight. How could a common person possibly approach Long Jingyuan? Only his granddaughter would have this opportunity. Guards, come!”

Two of the bodyguards behind him came forward. “Elder, what are your orders?”

“Capture Bai Jingrou. Lock her in the Bai family’s storeroom.”

“Understood.” The two bodyguards immediately held Bai Jingrou firmly.

Her complexion was pale as she cried. “My Grandfather is on the verge of death. I am his only relative. Right now, he needs me by his side. Grandfather Bai, you can’t lock me up!”

“So what if he is your grandfather? Considering the Long family’s enormous wealth, who knows if you were the one who tried to murder Long Jingyuan in an attempt to obtain their one hundred years old business.”

“Why would I do that? The Long family’s business has always been mine. I’m it’s only successor!” Bai Jingrou argued back.

All of a sudden, she turned towards Fang Xinxin. “Cousin-in-law, won’t you speak up for me? When you entered the Long family’s bedroom, you saw that I was pressing a handkerchief against Grandfather’s forehead to stop his bleeding. Also, you can also check my phone. There are records that I dialed 120…”

As her hands were pressed behind her back, Bai Chenxi rushed to reach into her bag to retrieve her phone. He searched through it. “Grandfather, there really are records of my sister calling for the emergency ambulance.”

“Father, Jingrou has always been an obedient and kind child. She definitely wouldn’t kill someone for money.” Huang Zhishu was in tears as she begged for mercy on her daughter’s behalf. “Dad, you can’t wrong Jingrou like this. If you lock her up, what if Director Long ends up passing away… Jingrou will lose her only opportunity to send him off. Could you bear to do that to her?”

Bai Chongshan became uncertain when he heard this. He turned towards Fang Xinxin.

“Lock her up.” Fang Xinxin responded directly. “I had already reached the bedroom when Bai Jingrou dialled for an ambulance. She only did so to cover up her intentions.”

When Bai Jingrou and the rest heard this, they immediately understood that it was Fang Xinxin’s request to put her under arrest.

Indeed, Fang Xinxin had given Elder Bai a call earlier to inform him of the whole series of events.

Huang Zhishu saw that her daughter was about to be dragged away and quickly knelt down.

She cried. “Father, nothing is more precious than family in this world. Jingrou has never met her birth parents and is already pitiful enough. I can guarantee with my own life that she would never attempt to harm her own family for money.”

She then glared at Fang Xinxin. “It must be Fang Xinxin. She must have grown greedy after obtaining ten percent of the Long Group’s shares and wants more. As long as she frames Jingrou for this, she’ll successfully eliminate Elder Long and Jingrou, killing two birds with one stone! Father, you cannot fall for Xinxin’s trick and be used by her!”

Bai Jingrou followed suit and knelt down. She sobbed miserably. “Grandfather Bai, I guarantee it with my life, if I really killed my own grandfather, I’ll suffer a life worse than death!” In any case, she was completely unrelated to Long Jingyuan. She could make as many such vows as needed.

“I only wish to be by my grandfather’s side while he is still in a critical state. If something happens to him… I don’t wish to have any regrets. I won’t be able to do anything to him with the way you are all wary of me anyway. At most, I’ll remain outside the ward and won’t approach him.”

She knew hypnosis and could kill Long Jingyuan just by being outside, sealing his lips forever.
