Bai Chenxi had been unbelievably angered and upset by this.
However, he could only maintain a smile whenever he saw Bai Qinghao.
Huang Zhishu glanced at her son’s frustrated expression. She was just as angered as he was.
However, they could only endure it.
Her son’s Chen Xi Corporation had gone bankrupt. Her daughter, Jingrou, had also been exposed for pretending to be the Long Group’s heiress.
As of today, their only hope was to regain power by taking over the Bai family.
They would have to endure for a little longer. Although Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin had made it home alive, they did not have much longer to live!
Huang Zhishu approach Fang Xinxin’s side and greeted her with a smile. “Xinxin, are you taking a stroll?”
“Can’t you see with your eyes? What’s the point in asking?” Fang Xinxin did not have any fondness for this woman.
She had raised a vicious and hypocritical daughter like Bai Jingrou and that revealed a lot about her character.
Huang Zhishu put on a disappointed expression. “Xinxin, I have never offended you. Why do you always show me such a bad attitude?”
“Do you dare to say that you never knew Bai Jingrou was pretending to be me to take over the Long family’s business?”
“I really didn’t know about it.” Huang Zhishu’s demeanor appeared to be especially soft. “I’m just Jingrou’s adopted mother. She has always had some unhappiness towards me. I really didn’t know that she was lying. If I had known, I definitely would have stopped her.”
“Is that so?” Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. It was clear she did not believe in her.
Bai Jingrou appeared weak and gentle on the surface but was in fact full of schemes. In that sense, she was completely identical to this woman.
Fang Xinxin refused to believe that this old woman was unaware of her daughter’s schemes.
Huang Zhishu looked apologetic. “Xinxin, I’m really sorry. I’ll apologize to you on Jingrou’s behalf…”
“There’s no need. She arranged for my father’s nurse, Liang Zhen to be murdered. She also played a role in Auntie Qiu’s death. Right after, she even dared to attempt to murder my grandfather and father. As of today, she is already blind and paralysed. All she has to do is wait for death. She will pay for her actions. There is no need for your apology.” Fang Xinxin appeared indifferent.
Huang Zhishu hurriedly changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m just her adopted mother.”
She was intentionally declaring that she was unrelated to Bai Jingrou.
Fang Xinxin did not pay her any heed. She saw that Elder Bai Chongshan was practicing Tai Chi on the man-made grass field ahead. She approached him. “Grandfather.”
Elder Bai nodded as he continued to run through each move…
His posture was accurate and his concentration was sharp. Combined with his gray mustache, he appeared just like a capable master.
After completing the last move, Bai Chongshan reached for the towel which a maid was offering. “Xinxin, do you want to practice Tai Chi with Grandfather?”
“Dad, that might not be a good idea.” Huang Zhishu rushed to say. “It’s been quite some time since Xinxin married Qinghao. Although they went missing for a while, they were together the entire time. If Xinxin happens to be pregnant, practicing Tai Chi may be harmful.”
Fang Xinxin glanced at Huang Zhishu in annoyance. This old woman was saying this intentionally.
Half a month ago, when she first returned to the Bai home, the elders had been worried for the two of them and called for doctors to give them a check-up.
At the time, she was not pregnant.
This old woman clearly knew that she wasn’t pregnant, yet she brought this up. She was trying to criticize her for failing to ‘lay any eggs’.
“That’s true.” Bai Chongshan stroked his mustache and glanced towards Xinxin’s flat stomach. “Xinxin ah, you have to hurry and give me a great-grandson.. Grandfather is getting old. I may not be around for too long…”
