Chapter 623: Red Packets

After much discussion with Fang Shaohua, they decided to let the Fang Group go and work on their own businesses individually.

Currently, from the perspective of an outsider, Fang Xinxin indeed only had the status of the future Madam Bai.

She secretly clicked on the recording pen in her pocket and started recording Bai Jingrou’s words.

Earlier, she had intentionally provoked her. She would wait for the right opportunity to play this recording.

Bai Jingrou watched as Fang Xinxin remained silent and assumed that she had successfully suppressed her. She felt great internally and added. “Oh, I forgot. Your family still owns a mansion where a murder took place.” She immediately smiled. “To think that there was a corpse hidden beneath the Fang family’s storeroom, and that it was actually your mother’s corpse. You enjoyed the company of a dead body for more than seven years in that storeroom. You must have lived comfortably didn’t you? The Fang family’s villa was originally worth some money. Now that it has become such a frightening haunted house, I wonder if you’ll be able to sell it even if you offer it at a much lower price?”

“Bai Jingrou, is this the side you’ve been hiding for so long?” Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. “Don’t worry. My Fang family villa will never be put on sale. Although it may count as a haunted house to others, my mother doted on me dearly and will only pray for my safety. There’s nothing wrong with sharing her company. There’s no need for you to worry about my family’s villa.”

She suspected that Bai Jingrou would not go on any further and decided to silently end the recording.

Bai Jingrou scanned the surroundings. Aside from Bai Chenxi, who was hidden behind the corner, there wasn’t anyone else nearby.

She did not come for a casual conversation. She suddenly stepped forward and held Fang Xinxin’s hand warmly. “My apologies, Miss Fang. I was in the wrong earlier and went out of line. Don’t be upset with me.”

Fang Xinxin noticed that this woman had suddenly turned polite and guessed that she planned on stealing her red packets.

In her past life, she had hated Bai Qinghao too much and only opened the red packets after several days.

In the end, she found that each red packet only contained twenty dollars.

She was angered to the point of… it hadn’t been an issue about the amount. She was upset about the blatant disrespect.

Considering the Bai family’s wealth, to give their future daughter-in-law twenty dollars had been an intentional act of humiliation. It would have been better if they did not give her even a single cent.

At the time, she had immediately looked for Bai Qinghao and fought with him over this matter.

Bai Qinghao had asked his family only to learn that they each gave her a cheque worth six million dollars.

Someone had replaced her red packet at some point. As it had been a few days since she received the red packet, they were unable to find out the truth.

She deliberated over it and realised that Bai Jingrou had interacted with her at that time and her actions had been extremely suspicious.

However, when she pointed this out, Bai Jingrou had burst into tears and claimed she would never do such a thing.

Everyone felt that, given she was the Long Group’s only successor, why would she be lacking money? There was no way she would have taken it.

Thus, the money she received disappeared just like that and there was no one she could blame.

This time, she would definitely catch this thief in her act.

As Fang Xinxin deliberated over this, she noticed Bai Jingrou reaching for her red packets. She then quickly placed a different set of red packets into her pocket.

As expected, Bai Jingrou had been the one to replace her eighteen million dollars with a few hundred dollars!

Very good!

She didn’t even know that Bai Jingrou had this sort of talent. She moved so quickly and truly acted like a thief.

Fang Xinxin was about to deal with this thief when Bai Chenxi appeared from behind a corner.

He raised his voice. “Jingrou, there’s no need to be so secretive when giving Miss Fang red packets!”
