He understood that Fang Xinxin wanted him to witness the evidence of their mistreatment with his own eyes.
It seemed that Fang Manxue had informed Fang Lilan about him getting to know of their behavior.
But based on Fang Lilan’s fool-proof method of operating, all the evidence of Fang Xinxin’s poor experience would probably already be destroyed.
There was no way to revisit the truth.
That was fine. He could continue taking care of Fang Xinxin, and ensure that she would not suffer the slightest grievance again.
“All right, my daughter, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Fang Lilan was worried Bai Qinghao would cause more trouble for her.
She rushed to Fang Xinxin and said, “It’s not early anymore. It’s also impolite for you to keep troubling CEO Bai. Come home with Mom.”
“I already said she’s not imposing on me. Is there any problem with your ears?” Bai Qinghao’s expression was frigid.
Fang Lilan spoke with an apologetic smile. “CEO Bai, I understand that you treat our Xinxin well. But our Xinxin is still a student. She isn’t officially married to you. If she stays in the Yu Ting Villa for a long period, people outside will gossip that her actions are unrestrained. I’m sure you don’t wish for outsiders to point fingers at her, do you?”
Bai Qinghao turned to Fang Xinxin coldly. “What do you think?”
Fang Xinxin genuinely did not wish to leave the Yu Ting Villa. She wanted to remain by Bai Qinghao’s side.
She did not care for the outsiders’ opinions whatsoever. Most people wanted to enter the Yu Ting Villa but could not manage to even touch the door handle.
Rather than being the topic of gossip, if she stayed at the Yu Ting Villa, it was more likely that everyone would be green with envy.
However, aside from love, she still had many matters to resolve.
For example, how did her brother, Fang Shaohua, who always loved and doted on her, end up in jail?
Moreover, she needed to gather evidence of Fang Manxue drugging her food…
Those could only be accomplished at the Fang home.
“I have to go home with my mom.” Fang Xinxin decided helplessly.
Upon hearing her words, Bai Qinghao’s expression immediately turned dark. Did she wish to leave him that badly?
Could it be that the feelings she seemed to be showing for him during the past few days were all fabricated?
The newspaper Bai Qinghao held in his hand was almost crushed beyond recognition.
A strong, cold aura was emitting from him. Fang Lilan felt her legs weaken.
Fang Xinxin noticed a flash of pain in Bai Qinghao’s cold and heavy gaze.
This man wished to hold her back, yet, he was too proud and could not bring himself to say it.
In an instant, she felt her heart aching painfully.
Half a beat later, Bai Qinghao turned to Fang Xinxin. “Since you wish to return that much… do as you like.”
“Thank you CEO Bai, Thank you CEO Bai,” Fang Lilan bowed down gratefully to him and held Fang Xinxin’s hand to leave the villa.
Fang Xinxin turned back to look at his stiff posture as he sat on the sofa. His figure appeared especially lonesome. She spoke up softly. “When you’re free, come and visit me.”
Bai Qinghao’s gaze was cold. He did not agree nor did he refuse.
No one could see through his thoughts.
When the two of them went away, Liu Li finally spoke up. “Boss, please don’t waste your thoughts on Fang Xinxin. She is a materialistic woman. You see, even her own mother said she is coveting your wealth.”
Bai Qinghao immediately glared at him. “Do you have the right to speak poorly about Fang Xinxin? Scram! Go and run five thousand meters!”
Liu Li was frightened into silence. He really did not have the courage to ask for mercy, yet he tried again. “Boss, I’m tired after the whole day. I really can’t run…”
“Ten thousand meters!”
“Yes…” Liu Li did not dare say anything further. He turned and left with stooped shoulders.
