[Xinxin, let the things in the past remain in the past. We’re a family. If Bai Qinghao really chases you out, return to the Fang house. The Fang house will always be your home.]
She read through Fang Manxue’s message. The first half was rather moving.
But the second half…
She had always been the Fang family’s daughter. What did she mean by ‘the Fang house will always be your home’? On what basis did Fang Manxue have to speak as though Fang Manxue was the master and she was the guest?
Until she turned eleven, though her mother treated Fang Manxue well, it was clear that her mother had doted on her the most.
Although Fang Manxue had been young at the time, she had tried her hardest to please their mother.
It was only with their mother’s personality changes that Fang Manxue’s ambitions began to reveal itself over the past seven to eight years.
At the moment, her father was in a coma and her elder brother was wrongly accused of crimes which he did not commit. Even the company that her father previously operated was in Fang Manxue and Fang Lilan’s hands.
Were it not for her rebirth, she would also be in an extremely pitiful state.
Thankfully, things were gradually turning for the better.
Some time later, Fang Manxue sent her another message: [Xinxin, don’t delay your responsibilities for a man. It’s not worth it. You didn’t even attend class today. Quickly start preparing for classes.]
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. Fang Manxue’s thoughtful and considerate tone made it seem as though she had attended school today.
Earlier this morning, Fang Manxue had still been in Bai Chenxi’s bed.
If this had been in her previous life, this message from Fang Manxue would have moved her to death.
But right now… a hint of worry rose in her heart.
She narrowed her eyes and suspected that Fang Manxue had prepared a serious welcome for her at school.
Du, du, du…
At this moment, a request for a video call came from her good friend, Sun Jiamu. She answered the call.
On the other end of the call, Sun Jiamu immediately shouted. “My dear, why didn’t you come to school today? You worried me to death!”
Fang Xinxin was astonished.
In her previous life, she had failed to see Bai Qinghao’s heart and had intentionally pitted herself against him. She had neglected his sincerity.
She had been so thoroughly fooled that she never once visited her elder brother before she died.
In fact, she had been unable to sense anybody’s concern for her.
In this life, she did not expect to find a good friend who would be concerned for her.
She felt moved. “I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you beforehand.” She did not know that Sun Jiamu would be this worried.
“It’s fine if you’re alright. I even went to the Fang house to look for you.” Sun Jiamu continued. “That mother of yours is really disgusting. She knows that our relationship is good and held my hand to cry about how she knows she was wrong. She blabbered about how she shouldn’t have made everyone misunderstand that you’re unfilial. She even said that she has turned over a new leaf, and that she has been crying everyday, waiting for you to come home. She said she wanted to visit you at Yu Ting Villa but was turned away at the door. With the way she spoke, even I was moved.”
“If you were moved, why do you think she’s disgusting?” Fang Xinxin felt that Sun Jiamu wasn’t someone with a heart of steel.
“I saw that you weren’t at the Fang house so I left. But then I realised I had left my bag behind so I went back to retrieve it. Do you know what I saw?” Sun Jiamu’s expression was full of anger. “That horrid mother of yours was searching through my bag. There wasn’t anything important in it so she gave up quickly. But what was especially horrible was that she actually told Long Shuhai she was only temporarily enduring ‘Fang Xinxin, the whore’. Long Shuhai then persuaded her and claimed that the Fang Corporation didn’t have any money coming in and only Bai Qinghao could rescue the company. He said that a few words from you is all that is needed to obtain benefits from Bai Qinghao, and hence, they are all trying to coax you right now.”
