A man, who had lost his freedom, did not have the right to give his beloved woman any happiness to speak of, much less the right to stand up for her.
At the entrance of Yuhua District's Great Hall, Sun Jiamu read the message from Fang Xinxin and was astonished over her complicated family background.
She was also frustrated at Fang Liyin's behaviour. Initially, she wanted to give her good friend a call to give her support.
However, she quickly noticed Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao seated in the Rolls-Royce parked nearby.
Sun Jiamu approached the car and heard Fang Xinxin end her call with Fang Shaohua. She glanced at Bai Qinghao and said, "Mr. Bai, please take good care of Xinxin."
In this situation, it was better for her fiancé to accompany her rather than her good friend.
"There's no need for you to tell me that." Bai Qinghao was expressionless.
Fang Xinxin gave her a light smile. "Jiamu, don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll be fine. I have something to settle. I'm returning to the Fang home now."
Sun Jiamu understood that her good friend was worried about her mother's safety, but was pretending to be strong.
Her heart ached for her but she could only nod helplessly.
Bai Qinghao instructed the chauffeur to head towards the Fang home.
Right then, Fang Xinxin received a new message: [Xinxin, could you give me Fang Shaohua's address? I'll visit him on your behalf.]
It was from Jiamu.
Fang Xinxin had previously mentioned Fang Shaohua's matters to her. Jiamu had believed that her elder brother was innocent and was rather sympathetic to his circumstances.
She deliberated over this and sent her the address at Hong Sheng District. She then added: [Thank you.]
[We're good friends. There's no need to stand on ceremony with me.]
Sun Jiamu responded quickly and sent her a sticker of two characters embracing.
...
At the Fang family's villa, 'Fang Lilan' rushed forward the moment Fang Xinxin alighted from her car. "You whor… you damned child, where have you been? I tried to call you only to realise that you have actually blacklisted me. I was just about to go look for you. So you know to return home!"
Long Shuhai also approached her in anger. He put on the airs of an elder and began reprimanding her. "Xinxin, how could you confess to Bai Qinghao in front of thousands of people? Don't you have any upbringing?"
"Your second sister just saw a doctor. She's permanently disfigured with no hopes of improving!" Fang Lilan appeared especially unhappy as she vented. "You were the one who did this, weren't you?"
The two of them criticised Fang Xinxin as her elders and had no idea of the consequences that they would soon face.
Bai Qinghao alighted from the car at this moment. The temperature in the yard instantly fell by several degrees, and a layer of frost seemed to form around them.
Just by standing there, his tall and broad-shouldered figure appeared especially noble. He instantly drew everyone's respect.
"C… CEO Bai!" Long Shuhai immediately lowered his head as if to kiss up to him. His expression immediately turned respectful. "Why didn't you mention it before making a visit here?"
He had discussed this with 'Fang Lilan'. Since Manxue was thoroughly ruined, no matter how angry they were, they could only rely on Fang Xinxin to live well.
Of course, if Fang Xinxin refused to be their puppet, they would kill her!
'Fang Lilan' also forced a smile. Her sharp, reprimanding tone, immediately dropped by several pitches. "My son-in-law, you're here. No matter what, I'm still Xinxin's mother. Although there was some unhappiness between us, those are matters of the past. Regardless of everything, we're still a family."
