Chapter 145: Calculations
However, Fang Lilan had argued that if Bai Qinghao started to believe that Fang Xinxin was full of lies, and the Fang family did not abuse her, he would continue providing support to the Fang family.
If things went their way, in a fit of anger, he could even end his engagement with Fang Xinxin.
Long Shuhai had been moved by her words and decided to give into her.
Look what happened now! Everything was gone!
“Yes.” Liu Li immediately made the call. The moment the call ended, the other party immediately began preparing the accounts.
Fang Lilan’s features remained attractive despite her age. She immediately put on a flattering smile. “CEO Bai, we’re a family. Is there a need to calculate everything so clearly?”
Bai Qinghao was expressionless, and his eyes were cold. “I haven’t added up the interests from the projects the Sheng Shi Group gave to the Fang family over the years. The gifts from the yearly festivities have also been left out. Could it be that the Fang family wishes to take those into account?”
Fang Lilan was frightened into waving her hands. “No, no, no, how could there possibly be such a need? What I mean is, the things you gave us belong in the past. They don’t have to be calculated.”
Bai Qinghao was infuriated by her response. His expression darkened once more. “The money and projects given to you were meant for you to hold Fang Xinxin dearly in your palms, for her to live in the lap of luxury and to be treated like a princess! You sure did well. You abused her to this extent. I’m already going easy on you by only asking you to return the money from the projects!”
When Bai Qinghao was angered, it appeared as if the King of Hell had just ascended. A heavy, intimidating aura surrounded him and held everyone in his grip. They were barely able to breath.
Truly, they could die just from fright alone.
Fang Lilan’s heart ached for the money she was about to lose. Despite her fear, she persisted in trying to cajole him. “Bai Qinghao, even if I was in the wrong, no matter what, I am still your future mother-in-law…”
“Future mother-in-law?” Bai Qinghao sneered mockingly. “Earlier, who was it that wanted to dissolve my marriage contract with Fang Xinxin?”
“We’re not dissolving it, not dissolving it!” Fang Lilan waved her hands frantically.
If the Bai family dissolved the marriage contract but they failed to replace Bai Qinghao’s fiancée with Fang Manxue, there would be nothing for the Fang family to gain from the situation.
It would be wiser for Fang Xinxin to temporarily hold onto the title of the future Commander’s wife.
Although Fang Manxue was angered by her mother’s soft attitude, she was helpless.
Bai Qinghao’s expression was dark. His voice was firm and threatening. “Fang Lilan, you had better listen up. My, Bai Qinghao’s, marriage is none of your concern. If you dare to bring up ending my engagement with Fang Xinxin again, I’ll immediately order someone to sew up your lips!”
“Ah!” Fang Lilan was frightened into covering her mouth. “CEO Bai, CEO Bai, I won’t do it again. I promise I won’t mention it again!”
It seemed like she really, really could not mention ending their engagement again.
But Fang Manxue needed to become the Commander’s future wife.
The only option…
Fang Lilan’s gaze shifted onto the silent Fang Xinxin.
The only option was for her to take the initiative to request for the engagement to be ended.
Fang Manxue continued to complain in her heart about Fang Xinxin being so fat and ugly. What exactly was so good about her? Why did Bai Qinghao keep insisting on marrying her?
The jealousy in Fang Manxue’s seemed to spill over like a pot of boiling water. Her chest could not seem to contain her rage and her eyes reddened with the unspent emotions.
Bai Qinghao’s attitude moved Fang Xinxin greatly. As she watched him, her eyes were filled with pink hearts.
Uu… this was her idol. She knew that he would remain firm on his decision to marry her.
Bai Qinghao recognised the admiration in Fang Xinxin’s eyes and his agitated emotions quietened down.
