She sat in her car and dialed a number. Once the call was connected, she said angrily, “Didn’t I say to throw the flower pot when I arrive? Look what you’ve done. Fang Xinxin rescued Ye Yunzhi. We really gave that whore a free favour!”
The middle-aged man named Guan Jiping turned around the corner and headed into an alleyway to answer the call. “I mistook her for you. Fang Xinxin’s clothes and hairstyle were both very similar to yours today.”
Bai Jingrou suddenly recalled Fang Xinxin’s clothes. She immediately felt a little flustered. “Could she have guessed that I was behind this?”
“Don’t worry.” Guan Jiping comforted her. “I use a different phone when I contact you. Besides, it’s true that I live on the sixth floor of the Guo Mao Building. It’s also true that I was fighting with a friend, and that I threw the pot in a fit of anger. As for the number I gave to Fang Xinxin, that is the phone number I normally use. Even if she looks into this matter, she won’t be able to find anything.”
“You really can’t do anything well.” Bai Jingrou complained in resentment. “You better remember this. Even if you can’t help me, you can’t cause trouble for me.”
“I won’t.” Guan Jiping then asked carefully. “Are your mother and Chenxi doing well?”
“You don’t have to concern yourself with that.” Bai Jingrou ended the call in anger.
A slightly helpless expression appeared on Guan Jiping’s tired face. He was useless and the only thing he could do right now was to silently guard them.
Fang Xinxin visited the hospital with Ye Yunzhi’s company and soon after returned to the Bai family’s old mansion.
Bai Qinghao rushed into the living room and saw Fang Xinxin seated on the sofa. He approached her in heartache. “Where’s the injury?”
“Xinxin sprained her ankle.” It was Ye Yunzhi who spoke up. “This was all my fault. If it wasn’t to help me, she wouldn’t have been injured. Thankfully, the doctor said she only needs to rest for a couple days.”
Bai Qinghao knelt down before Fang Xinxin and checked her injury.
A layer of gauze was pasted on her ankle and there was some ointment applied on her skin.
“In the future, you have to prioritise your own life first!” Bai Qinghao instructed Xinxin seriously. What he meant was that it wasn’t worth putting her own life at risk even if it was for his mother.
Ye Yunzhi nodded. “That’s right. Daughter-in-law, our Qinghao loves you dearly. He won’t be able to take it if something happens to you.”
“It’s fine.” Bai Qinghao responded expressionlessly. “If she dies, I’ll accompany her.”
Fang Xinxin was initially angry but when she heard the words he added, she felt deeply moved.
“What if I die, then?” Ye Yunzhi could not resist the urge to ask.
Bai Qinghao gave her the best response. “I’ll send you off grandly and take revenge for you.”
“My good son.” Ye Yunzhi was especially satisfied. She wasn’t the type of mother-in-law who demanded for her son’s time even after he was married. She believed that children needed their own freedom once they became adults.
Besides, her only son was already standing at the peak of this world. There was no need for her to worry for him.
“Send someone to investigate if this incident of high-rise littering was done intentionally or if it was a coincidence.” Elder Bai, who was also in the living room, sternly gave this instruction over the phone.
Bai Hong, Bai Qinghao’s father, rushed over at that time. He expressed his sincere gratitude to Fang Xinxin for saving his wife.
Even Bai Jingrou and her family expressed their admiration for Fang Xinxin’s actions. It wasn’t clear what they actually thought about this matter.
The people that Elder Bai sent to investigate this matter reported that Guan Jiping, the middle-aged man, was a delivery worker. He had been single for years and was hardworking. He had a few friends and they all spoke well of him.
