Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

Seeing this, Fang Xinxin said, “Since Bai Jingrou has made such a serious vow, let’s not lock her up.”

Bai Chongshan was in the midst of hesitating. When he heard this, he nodded. “Alright then. In any case, Old Long will wake up within three to five days. When he wakes up, it will be clear whether or not Jingrou tried to murder him.”

His sharp gaze landed on Bai Jingrou. “I’ll believe in you for the time being. Spend more time with Old Long. After all, he is your last living relative in this world.”

“Thank you, Grandfather!” Bai Jingrou was deeply moved and immediately kowtowed towards him.

Bai Chongshan’s expression was heavy when he stated. “You should be thanking your cousin-in-law. She was the one who spoke up for you. I’m only listening to her intentions.”

Bai Jingrou smiled gratefully towards Fang Xinxin. “Thank you, Cousin-in-law.”

Although she said so on the surface, internally, she mocked Fang Xinxin for being useless trash. Fang Xinxin’s soft heart would only give her the opportunity to send her into hell.”

Fang Xinxin naturally understood that Bai Jingrou was planning something again. Locking her up would make it difficult for this brat to get up to her mischief.

Long Jingyuan would awaken within three to five days and Bai Jingrou definitely would not allow him to wake up. In other words, she would do something within this time period.

Hence, Fang Xinxin was ready to catch her in the act.

Bai Chongshan stood outside the intensive care unit for a while. Soon, he left with Huang Zhishu.

Fang Xinxin took in the sight of Long Jingyuan lying on the hospital bed through the transparent glass. He had an oxygen mask on and was dressed in a patient’s clothes. His wrinkled features were pale and he appeared especially thin. It seemed as though he would cease breathing anytime.

At the thought of how lonely Long Jingyuan could be, she found that he was truly quite pitiful.

Even his only granddaugher had attempted to murder him. Her actions could only be described as inhumane.

Bai Jingrou stood several metres away from Fang Xinxin. The anxiety in her expression was obvious. “Uu… I wonder when my grandfather will wake up. I hope he does so soon.”

Her words made her appear to be an extremely filial granddaughter.

Fang Xinxin pursed her lips together and did not respond.

Bai Chenxi, who had also stayed behind, spoke comfortingly. “Sister, don’t worry. Director Long will be fine.”

“En.” Bai Jingrou nodded pitifully. Internally, however, she dearly wished that Long Jingyuan would quickly die. Immediately!

Bai Chenxi’s seemingly refined gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. His expression was filled with heartache. “Xinxin, it’s already midnight. You must be tired. I will guard outside Director Long’s room. Go ahead and get some sleep.”

“There’s no need for you to be a busybody.” Fang Xinxin was expressionless.

For some reason, she struggled to stop worrying for Long Jingyan. It wasn’t just because she was grateful for the Long Group’s stocks which he had given her.

She felt an unexplainable hint of heartache for him.

It was as though Long Jingyuan was her relative. She felt anxious and flustered as if she was on the verge of losing a family member.

“In that case, I’ll accompany you.” Bai Chenxi smiled warmly and approached her.

Fang Xinxin immediately shouted to stop him. “Maintain a distance of five steps away from me.”

“Why?” Bai Chenxi was confused.

“Because your appearance is repulsive.”

“…”

Bai Chenxi could always rely on his face to coax a woman into giving him everything. When it came to Fang Xinxin, however, he keenly understood that Fang Xinxin’s heart had changed and she no longer loved him!

He was angered, upset and even felt the urge to ruin her.

Unfortunately, he did not have that ability right now.

However…

He glanced at Bai Jingrou, who was seated on the bench.

Considering his sister’s abilities, he was afraid Fang Xinxin would soon die without even realising it!
