She considered reminding Long Jingyuan to be wary of Bai Jingrou.
However, Bai Jingrou was his blood related granddaughter. What position was she supposed to use to remind him of this? No one would suspect their own granddaughter, right?
This could even lead her to be seen as someone harboring unfathomable motives.
Bai Jingrou suddenly rushed over urgently. "Grandfather, why didn't you tell me that you were coming? The Bai family's yard is so big. It wasn't easy for me to find you."
She saw that Fang Xinxin was also present and her heart instantly skipped a beat.
She absolutely could not allow these two people to become too familiar with each other!
Long Jingyuan responded to Bai Jingrou. "Jingrou ah, Grandfather is worried that you're not living well in the old mansion. I came specially to see you. In fact, I know Bai Chongshan, that old man, rather well. I was allowed to enter the Bai family's mansion without any trouble."
"Is that so? That's wonderful." Although Bai Jingrou responded this way, she felt that this wasn't a good thing.
Long Jingyuan repeatedly interfered with her inheritance of the Long Group. If backed into a corner, she would have to eliminate him… If Long Jingyuan and Bai Chongshan were close, and the Bai family interfered with his death, she would have to face trouble. In that case, she would have to be especially careful about this matter.
"I'll take my leave first." Fang Xinxin did not wish to disturb their reunion. Thus, she headed for the Bai family's old mansion.
"Wait a moment." Long Jingyuan took in her backview and strangely felt that he could not bear to part from her. "Xinxin, ah. Could you give Grandfather your phone number?"
Grandfather… Bai Jingrou's heart began pounding when she heard the way Long Jingyuan addressed himself to Fang Xinxin.
He even called her 'Xinxin' so familiarly.
Could it be that this old man had discovered something?
"I addressed myself as your Grandfather without your approval." Long Jingyan explained. "Xinxin, since I'm older than you, don't mind this."
"You're my elder. It's only right that I address you as Grandfather." Fang Xinxin's heart was warm. She turned back and brought her phone out to say. "Please give me your phone number. I will give you a call."
He did as she said.
She then quickly dialled his number, exchanging contact information with him.
Bai Jingrou's expression turned dark for a moment.
After Fang Xinxin had left, she leaned against Long Jingyuan's shoulder sweetly. "Grandfather, why are you treating a stranger so well? I'm your actual granddaughter!"
Long Jingyuan could not explain why he was strangely very fond of Fang Xinxin from the first moment. But he found a suitable excuse to placate her. "She will soon become Madam Bai. Although the Long Group is also an influential family like the Bai family, we are still second to them. There are benefits to building a good relationship with her."
"Is that so?" Bai Jingrou's voice was filled with grievance. "I thought you didn't like me as your granddaughter."
Long Jingyuan patted her on the shoulder dotingly. "You're my only living relative. How could I possibly dislike you? In the future, the Long Group will rely on you."
"Grandfather, when will you let me work at the Long Group then?" Only by stepping into the Long Group could she gain better control of the Long family's finances.
"There's no rush. You should train for a little while more." Long Jingyuan patted himself on the chest. "Grandfather is still as healthy as a bull. I can manage the company for another ten years with no problem."
Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly… if she waited for those many years, everything would be meaningless by then!
This old thing had better not force her to push him into a coffin.
"I'll be working at the Sheng Shi Group from tomorrow onwards." She took a step backwards in an attempt to make several steps forward.
She said softly, "If I perform well at my cousin's company, I'm not sure if I'll have the time to take over the Long Group in the future. You know that I only wish to be your granddaughter.. I'm not interested in the Long Group's money."
