Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack Chapter 144 - More Punishments

Chapter 144: More Punishments

Bai Qinghao’s rage was all-consuming. He raised his voice and said, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Xinxin has clearly suffered for years in your Fang home. You renovated the storeroom overnight and lied blatantly that she lived and ate well. After having your own lies exposed, you still had the gall to deliver Fang Xinxin another blow. If you didn’t slander her, would there be this much trouble? The sins we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear! All the benefits that the Bai family gave to the Fang family over the years were meant for Fang Xinxin. How were they related to you? But you actually dared to keep them all for yourselves! Spit them back out, right now!”

“Ah!” Fang Lilan cried out. “CEO Bai, I…”

Fang Manxue’s complexion was as pale as ash.

Right now, not only was Bai Qinghao refusing to support the Fang family, he was actually demanding that they return all of the benefits they had received from him…

Fang Manxue, Fang Lilan and Long Shuhai had all grown used to the wealthy lifestyle and spending extravagantly.

The benefits the Bai family had given them added up to billions. How could they possibly have enough money to return them?

Even if they did, they would never give it back!

Long Shuhai’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

But he was still hopeful about not returning the money.

“Xinxin, why aren’t you speaking up for us?” Fang Lilan rushed to tug Fang Xinxin’s hand.

“You said earlier that if Bai Qinghao tried to punish us any further, you would help us.”

Fang Xinxin threw Fang Lilan’s hand away. “I originally planned to do so. But all of you accused me of being self-centred. You even tried to destroy my engagement with Bai Qinghao. I’ve completely given up on all of you. I no longer have any familial relations.h.i.+ps with the three of you. It’s only right for Bai Qinghao to force you to return the benefits you have taken from the Bai family.”

“No! Fang Xinxin, you promised you wouldn’t let Bai Qinghao punish the Fang family any further. How can you go back on your words?” Fang Manxue shrieked and reprimanded Fang Xinxin.

“Alright, then I’ll stick to my words.” Fang Xinxin calmly turned to Bai Qinghao.

“Bai Qinghao, please don’t punish the Fang family. But this is just my request. You’ve never been one to take other people’s face into account, right? So, all you have to do is to stick to your own intentions.”

“You…” Fang Manxue was stifled with anger.

This method of begging for mercy was no different from not attempting at all.

Bai Qinghao understood that Fang Xinxin did not wish for him to protect the Fang family anymore. Moreover, she also did not want the Bai family to suffer any additional losses.

He did not mind letting go of the benefits he had given to the Fang family. But these hypocrites did not have the rights to enjoy the Bai family’s favour. Even offering it to beggars would be better than saving it for them.

He immediately instructed in his frigid, heavy voice. “Inform the Sheng s.h.i.+ Group’s accountancy department. Let them sum up all the money the Fang family has obtained through projects from the Bai family. Make Fang Lilan spit out every single cent of it. As for the gifts given to the Fang family during festivities, there’s no need to take those into account.”

From what he knew, before Father Fang, Long Yifan, became comatose, he had doted excessively on Fang Xinxin.

Fang Xinxin also had an adoptive brother named Fang Shaohua. He also used to care dearly for Fang Xinxin prior to being jailed.

The two of them had also enjoyed those gifts. Hence, it wasn’t right to be calculative with those things.

Before Long Yifan and Fang Shaohua met with trouble, they had both sought him out separately to request that he stop supporting the Fang group. They had claimed that all the money and projects he gave to the Fang family only entered Fang Lilan’s hands.

For the sake of those two, he would go a little easy on Fang Lilan, this cheap wench.

Fang Lilan strongly regretted renovating the storeroom. She had wanted to claim that Fang Xinxin had lived well here, but… now, she had to vomit out everything that she received from the Bai family over the years!

Fang Manxue also never expected things to turn this bad. Her complexion had turned green due to regret.

Long Shuhai felt somewhat resentful of Fang Lilan. From the start, he did not agree with the scheme to renovate the storeroom. This was because if the matter was carried out poorly, they would end up causing trouble for themselves. And that’s exactly what happened!
