In a rare occurrence, the astonishment on Bai Qinghao's face could not be concealed. He asked in uncertainty. "Aren't you unwilling?"
"There's no way I would be unwilling." She pouted. "I said that intentionally to tease you."
She had wanted to see just how much he could dote on her.
The results were far beyond her expectations.
Truly, no one was better than Bai Qinghao!
Bai Qinghao's heart was flooded with joy. He gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "Xinxin, don't cry!"
She pressed her face against his chest and felt a sense of security enveloping her.
His large palms were pressed gently against her back. As he lowered his head to watch her, his gaze was unbelievably doting.
For her, he was truly willing to give up his life!
Fang Xinxin held Bai Qinghao's phone and began to scroll through the forum. She watched as the netizens switched sides slowly and began to speak up for her.
[Although Fang Xinxin is slightly ugly, she is indeed quite a good fiancée. Bai Qinghao's eyes would never choose wrongly!]
[I didn't know that Fang Xinxin silently did so much for Bai Qinghao. She has never mentioned any of it. Even as a passer-by, my heart is aching for her…]
[Who dares to fucking criticise Fang Xinxin for not contributing anything! If you force her to give up her status as Bai Qinghao's fiancée, this old man will make you pay with your blood!]
...
Inside the Fang family's villa, Fang Manxue watched as the accounts she had used to criticise Fang Xinxin were flooded with negative responses from her schoolmates.
"'Jealous whore', 'Envious trash', if you dare to ruin our idol's happiness, we'll toss you out of the school gates!"
A mountain of enraged comments caused Fang Manxue to lose all courage to argue with them.
Everyone had yet to forget about the matter of her pretending to be Bai Qinghao's fiancée. If they found out that she was the one behind these comments, she would be ruined.
Fang Manxue watched as Fang Xinxin instantly obtained the entire's school's protection. She threw her phone on the ground in anger. "I'm angered to death! Bai Qinghao actually personally responded to the post and helped Fang Xinxin escape yet another crisis!"
Fang Lilan watched her coldly. "If you're unable to withstand such a small matter, how will you deal with bigger matters? If you're angry, so be it. Why did you throw your phone on the ground? Thankfully, it was cushioned by the grass and wasn't damaged."
She bent down to pick up the phone carefully.
Fang Manxue shouted with disbelief. "Mom, isn't it just a phone? So what if it breaks!"
"If this was in the past, and Fang Xinxin was still bringing an infinite amount of support from Bai Qinghao to us, I wouldn't have made a comment even if you destroyed one hundred phones." Fang Lilan narrowed her eyes slightly.
The wrinkles on the corner of her eyes appeared more obvious with this change in her expression. "Right now, the Fang Group's money flow has been cut off. We all have to save up. Life isn't easy. That phone of yours costs several thousand dollars. If you damage it, it won't be so easy for us to buy you another one."
"We can't be poor to the point where we can't buy another phone…"
"We only have a small sum left. We have to use it for more important matters." Fang Lilan's expression turned heavy. She scanned Fang Manxue up and down. "I heard that there's a new teacher in your school, named Ya Lun?"
"That's right. He is our new French teacher."
"Seduce him." Fang Lilan's gaze appeared calculative for a moment. "I investigated his background. Ya Lun Wilson is a nobleman from Scotland. Previously, the Wilson family had completely disappeared. Yet, they suddenly reappeared in the past few years and gained power very quickly. Put simply, though Ya Lun cannot compete against Bai Qinghao, he is nonetheless very wealthy. If you are able to hold onto him, we won't just resolve the Fang Group's financial difficulties but also make a profit. You won't lose anything by marrying him either."
