656: Future Schemes

Future Schemes

Bai Jingrou also wished she could act spoiled in front of Bai Chongshan. She wasn't sure why, but despite having lived in the Bai family with her mother and elder brother for more than two years, this damned old man was not the slightest bit close to them. 0

Was it really because they did not share the Bai family's bloodline?

After their meal, Bai Jingrou immediately attacked Fang Xinxin. "Grandfather, did you know? Miss Fang spent eight hundred thousand dollars to purchase a haunted apartment located in Mian Lan North District. Quite a lot of people have died in that apartment…"

She then explained the history of the apartment before saying, "I never expected Miss Fang to use the red packets she had received from the elders to purchase a haunted apartment."

Bai Chongshan raised his eyebrows at her words. He turned towards Xinxin. "Little girl, you really bought a haunted apartment?"

Fang Xinxin was rather moved by the way Grandfather Bai affectionately addressed her as 'Little girl'. "En."

Bai Chongshan appeared unmoved by this knowledge. Bai Jingrou did not expect him to be indifferent. Still, she stubbornly continued. "The red packets and a bloody apartment are both red. I wonder if the two conflicting reds will bring about misfortune. Is Fang Xinxin trying to ruin the Bai family's luck?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Bai Chongshan raised his voice sternly. "Xinxin isn't someone like that."

Fang Xinxin raised her brows. "Bai Jingrou, did you go insane just because you failed to perform better than me and couldn't enter the Sheng Shi Group? You sure dare to run your mouth as you please. I am Madam Bai. The better the Bai family's luck, the better my life will be. How could I possibly ruin the Bai family's luck?"

"Are you really Madam Bai? You haven't even stepped into the family yet you dare to apply gold to your own face…" Bai Jingrou wanted to continue.

Bai Chongshan cut her off. "Apologise to your cousin-in-law right now! Otherwise, you can scram out of the Bai family immediately."

"But…" Bai Jingrou's eyes reddened as spoke in grievance. "I wouldn't have spoken this honestly if it wasn't for the Bai family's good. You…"

"Apologise!" Elder Bai Chongshan's wrinkled face was especially stern.

"Miss Fang, I'm sorry…" Bai Jingrou was clearly unwilling.

Elder Bai was a rather superstitious man. Bai Jingrou knew that Bai Qinghao would definitely stand on Fang Xinxin's side. Thus, she intentionally took the opportunity while he was away to say these words so as to create a rift between Elder Bai and Fang Xinxin.

Who would have thought that she only ended up throwing her own face away.

Fang Xinxin had bought a total of ten, cheap apartments from Mian Lan North District today. After travelling back and forth, she was exhausted. She could not be bothered to respond to Bai Jingrou and headed back to her room to rest.

Elder Bai also went to his study.

Bai Jingrou and her family usually only visited the Bai family's main mansion building for meals. They lived in a smaller building named, 'Jing Xin Residence', right behind the main building.

The three of them returned to Jing Xin Residence.

The moment Bai Jingrou stepped into the living room, she cursed in a low voice. "The old things in the Bai family are all biased ghosts. He actually didn't care if the Bai family's luck would be affected!"

"I think it isn't that Elder Bai doesn't care about it. It's just that nothing bad has happened to the Bai family yet for him to take this matter seriously." Bai Chenxi smiled viciously. "You say, if something does happen to the Bai family, won't Fang Xinxin be in for a serious treat?"

"Brother, I was thinking the exact same thing." Bai Jingrou smiled darkly.

Bai Chenxi sat down on the couch and rubbed his chin. "I was just wondering why my normally capable sister put on such a show today. It turns out that you were setting the stage for your future schemes. Don't ruin Fang Xinxin, though. Just put some distance between her and the Bai family's old people. Have you forgotten that she is my prey?"

"If only you were as capable as your sister." Huang Zhishu poured herself a cup of tea and criticised. "Fang Xinxin used to like you a lot. She was already yours at the time."
