Chapter 143: Hypocritical Bastards
Even Li Bingpan, who stood expressionlessly by the side, could not help but wish to protect Fang Manxue because of the way she appeared right now.
Liu Li, on the other hand, found the fat and ugly Fang Xinxin to be a little pitiful. The Fang family had relied on her engagement with his boss for so many years, and obtained so much benefit.
In the end, the Fang family turned out to be a bunch of bastards who were not at all grateful to her. Instead, they targeted her time and again.
“You’re asking me why?” A hint of mocking appeared on Bai Qinghao’s cold, stern features.
He did not feel even an iota of sympathy looking at Fang Manxue’s pitiful appearance. Instead, his anger was about to blow up any moment. “Every single one of you has been taking turns to reprimand Fang Xinxin for being narrow-minded, petty, and selfish. You all seem determined to push her into a dead-end. None of you have bothered to listen to her explanation though. Why?”
Fang Xinxin watched as Bai Qinghao protected her. The sharp pain in her chest, from being hurt by her blood-related relatives, eased significantly. Right now, she was no longer a weak victim who would stand still to take a blow from others. She immediately pursed her lips. “Fang Manxue, didn’t you ask me why I didn’t bring out the videos earlier?”
Well, she had done it intentionally to encourage Bai Qinghao to continue punishing these hypocritical bastards.
However, she would not admit this!
Weren’t Fang Manxue and Fang Lilan especially good at playing up the righteous card all the time? She would be a good student and learn from them. “The reason I didn’t bring these videos out when you first moved me into the guest room is because I cared too much about you, second sister…”
She transferred her gaze onto Fang Lilan. “And you as well, mother. I thought that, if the two of you wanted to erase the traces of the past seven years that I’ve spent living in the storeroom, so be it. You insisted on pretending as though you treated me well, but all the cosmetics and clothes you bought for me were nothing but rubbish. You abused me for years. It was only reasonable for Bai Qinghao to become unhappy and cease his aid to the Fang family. Originally… I had planned to never show these videos to anyone because I still valued our relationship. I wanted to keep the ugly truth hidden forever. But Bai Qinghao wanted to know what my living condition used to be like, didn’t he? All I did was, give him a peek into it.”
She took a deep breath and continued slowly. “Second sister said that Bai Qinghao has already punished the Fang family for abusing me. If he dealt out any more punishments after this, I would have definitely stopped him. Hence, even if the videos were revealed, there wouldn’t have been any major consequences. Since he wanted to look at them, and they wouldn’t harm anyone, what problems could there possibly be in him seeing them?”
Her expression turned sorrowful as she watched Long Shuhai, Fang Lilan and Fang Manxue in disbelief. “But I never expected for each of you to… to criticise me for being selfish and petty just because of a small, harmless matter. You utterly destroyed my moral conduct with your words. Hold onto your conscience and ask yourselves: how much support has Bai Qinghao given to the Fang family over the years for my sake? During Chinese New Year and other important festivities, the gifts that the Bai family delivered to you were always valuable and expensive. Out of all the benefits you received, was there a single portion of it that ended up in my hands? No! Those were the goodies that the Bai family offered to the Fang family with me in mind, but not even a bit of it reached me. I was mentally abused, lived horribly and ate poorly in your home. I never made a single fuss about it. This was all because I cared too much about the three of you. But you have sure repaid me well. You actually accused me of wanting to force my own relatives to their deaths!”
Fang Lilan, Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai were becoming increasingly alarmed as they listened to her.
When Liu Li and the rest of the bodyguards heard this, they all felt utter contempt for the three of them. The Fang family usually appeared to be proper and dignified. To think that they were actually this greedy!
“Enough, Xinxin, don’t say anymore…” Fang Lilan’s heart stuttered in fear.
Her complexion was frighteningly pale. If Fang Xinxin continued any longer, would Bai Qinghao still let them stay alive?
