Show-off

Although Bai Jingrou's words were casually spoken, Fang Xinxin understood her hint that she was not good enough for Bai Qinghao. 0

She picked up one of the teacups on the table and took a sip of the piping hot tea. The taste was faintly sweet and its scent lingered in her mouth. This was the taste of a premium grade Bi Luo Chun Tea.

"Good tea," Fang Xinxin murmured. She had no intention of responding to Bai Jingrou.

However, Bai Jingrou did not notice this. A hint of arrogance flashed past her expression. "By the way, you should really congratulate me." She continued on her own. "As the Bai family's adopted daughter, though my position is valuable for its affiliation with the Bai family, I do not actually have any blood relations with them. To my surprise, a while ago, my relatives finally located me. I really did not expect myself to be Long Group's old director's granddaughter…"

The meaning of her words was clear. She was hinting that she was a good match for the Bai family.

Fang Xinxin lifted her brows as she took her words in.

In her previous life, she had never noticed that this woman's feelings for Bai Qinghao were this obvious.

In fact, Bai Qinghao was an extremely outstanding man. It was normal for Bai Jingrou to fall for her cousin who had no blood relations with her.

However, though they were both from the Bai family, Fang Xinxin knew very well that they were not actually familiar with each other.

This was because Bai Qinghao had lived in a different villa with his parents when he was young. Ever since he became an adult, he had lived in the Yu Ting Villa independently.

Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou on the other hand, had lived with their parents.

Thus, the two Bai families only met on rare occasions at the Bai family's old mansion.

Bai Jingrou chattered on relentlessly. To her surprise, Fang Xinxin did not give her any response whatsoever. With her intelligence, she naturally understood that Fang Xinxin was intentionally ignoring her.

The silence was awkward for a moment and a hint of rage flashed past her seemingly composed gaze.

If this had been anyone else, they would have rushed to flatter her the moment they realised that she was the Long Group's successor.

How could they possibly ignore her?

"Do you dislike my identity as the Long family's granddaughter?" The valuable identity drew a lot of envy. The ruined Fang family had no way of comparing against her. Bai Jingrou wanted to see the self-hatred in Fang Xinxin's expression. To her surprise, Fang Xinxin remained indifferent. There was no way of telling how she actually felt.

"That's true, you're the future Madam Bai. Of course…" Bai Jingrou wanted to continue.

Fang Xinxin lost her patience and cut her off. "You're also a well-educated individual. Don't you feel any shame in asking a stranger to congratulate you?"

She then asked in amusement. "Or could it be that you're intentionally taking advantage of your status as the Long Group's granddaughter to mock me?"

Bai Jingrou was clearly doing so. But, of course, she refused to admit to it. "How could that be? You're thinking too much."

She wouldn't be as foolish as Fang Liyin and her daughter. Their ambitions were painted all over their faces.

In the past, she had secretly kept tabs on the Fang family's situation.

Initially, she had assumed that Fang Liyin and Fang Manxue would deal with Fang Xinxin. This way, she wouldn't have to spare any effort on this.

To her surprise, the mother and daughter were completely useless. One had ended up dead and the other had been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. They were truly rubbish!

What was more upsetting was that Fang Xinxin had actually successfully lost weight. She even regained her stunning appearance. This left her completely frustrated.

Bai Jingrou fell into deep thought. She refused to participate in a battle without guaranteed success. She managed her expression and pointed at a short distance away. "Look, they're here!"

Around the corner, an extravagantly dressed middle-aged woman could be seen approaching them. She was supporting an elderly man in his sixties. The man was dressed in a Chinese-style white shirt.
