In their previous life, Fang Lilan had forcefully brought her to meet Bai Chenxi exactly in this manner.
Afterward, Fang Lilan had made a phone call to Bai Qinghao where she claimed that Fang Xinxin told her that she arranged to meet Bai Qinghao at the Yue Ya Cafe. She had pretended to be concerned and asked Bai Qinghao as to when he would send her home.
With her phone call, Fang Lilan had managed to mislead him and ensured her own innocence. As a result, Bai Qinghao misunderstood that Fang Xinxin had gone to meet her lover again after lying to her mother!
In actuality, even in her previous life, she had refused to meet Bai Chenxi at this time.
This was because… she was scared of Bai Qinghao.
In the end, she was betrayed by her own mother but remained blind to the fact.
Fang Xinxin kept her phone away from her mother’s sight and opened up her WeChat. She sent Bai Qinghao a message asking him to answer her video call without making any noise.
She then muted her phone and dialed Bai Qinghao’s number.
This way, there wouldn’t be any sound from their call.
Bai Qinghao answered her call quickly. She adjusted the microphone volume to the highest so that he could hear their conversation clearly.
As she had already sent him a message, she did not worry that Bai Qinghao would make any noise.
After doing this, she said, “Mom, even if Bai Chenxi is waiting for me at Yue Ya Cafe, I don’t wish to see him. Don’t force me to go. Besides, since when have the two of you been on speaking terms? He actually called you to make arrangements to meet me?”
“That’s because he was worried that you won’t come.” Fang Lilan was focused on driving and did not notice that Fang Xinxin had called Bai Qinghao.
“Bai Chenxi is the person-in-charge of the Chen Xi Enterprise. He is an outstanding man with a good family background. He treats you well. The two of you are childhood friends, and most importantly, you like…”
At this moment, Fang Xinxin keenly sensed that Bai Qinghao’s expression had to be really dark.
She glanced at the screen. Although the call was connected, all she could see was a patch of blurry grey. She guessed that Bai Qinghao had covered the camera with something.
Still, she was sure that he could hear their conversation clearly.
Fang Xinxin rushed to speak up. “I grew up interacting with a lot of people. I’m only acquainted with Bai Chenxi. How could we possibly count as childhood friends? I’m Bai Qinghao’s fiancée. I don’t like anyone else. Why do you and my second sister keep trying to pair us up? Aren’t you afraid that Bai Qinghao will be angry when he finds out?”
Fang Lilan glanced at Fang Xinxin in suspicion. “If you don’t say anything, how will Bai Qinghao find out? And who says you don’t like Bai Chenxi? Whenever you see him, your eyes are shining.”
“…”
Fang Xinxin glanced at the screen involuntarily. All she could see was black.
It seemed to hint at Bai Qinghao’s currently dark feelings. It was likely her life would be as dark as this after the conversation.
“That’s because I’m filial. I tried to make my eyes shine each time I saw Bai Chenxi.” Fang Xinxin answered calmly.
“You and my sister are always nagging me and forcing me to like Bai Chenxi. It’s really hard to do something that goes completely against my own feelings. Mom, although you both always talk about how great Bai Chenxi is, I don’t find him attractive at all. I hate him!”
As expected, after saying this, the pitch-black screen returned to the earlier grey color. It seemed like she could still reverse the situation.
Fang Lilan reprimanded her.”Why do you have such poor eyes for judging people…”
“I’m good at judging people. I think Bai Qinghao is great.”
“Bai Qinghao isn’t good. His personality is violent. He is cold and heartless. He doesn’t suit you at all.” Fang Lilan’s tone was resolute and firm.
