Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack Chapter 169 - Regret

Chapter 169: Regret

As she sifted through her memories, she realised that her father always loved her deeply. He often fought with her mother and stopped her from mistreating her. He also secretly gave her a lot of money, ranging from thirty thousand dollars to a hundred thousand dollars.

Back then, her mother frequently questioned her if her father had given her money secretly. She had always been foolishly filial and answered honestly every time.

As a result, her mother took away all the money that her father had saved for her.

Although she was forced to live in a storeroom, she only stayed there for the past three years, ever since her father went into a coma. Prior to that, her father had always made her live in the school dorm. During holidays, he would send her to the office which had living s.p.a.ce in the Fang Group’s office building. He would even sleepover there to make sure she wasn’t lonely.

Prior to being jailed, her brother, Fang Shaohua, also took good great care of her.

Her actual misfortune only began three years ago, when both her father and brother met with accidents.

Fang Manxue became brave to the point where she dared to drug her food. Her mother, Fang Lilan, stopped her from living in the office s.p.a.ces and insisted that she stay in the storeroom. They even prevented her from having proper food.

In her past life, she had been foolish and always trusted that her birth mother would not harm her.

But as she deliberated over it now, she felt that there was something clearly amiss with Fang Lilan!

Right now, she prayed that her father’s surgery would be successful. Even if he was doomed to lay on the bed for the rest of his life, she would be more than willing to care for him.

Suddenly, she received a WeChat notification on her phone.

She opened it to see that Bai Qinghao was checking in with her.

She told him that she was at the hospital.

Her phone rang almost immediately. The moment she answered it, Bai Qinghao’s heavy and cold tone could be heard. He sounded impatient. “Fang Xinxin, what happened to you?”

“I’m fine.”

“Why are you at the hospital?”

“My dad is undergoing a surgery.” She had no intentions of hiding this from him.

“How is he?”

She fell silent for a moment. After sniffling, she made sure to suppress the heartbreak in her voice and tried her best to communicate with him calmly. “He has severe bedsores, and there were maggots growing on his body. They need to do a surgery to remove the rotten flesh. But there shouldn’t be any life-threatening risks.”

“Which hospital is he at? I’ll be there immediately.”

“Aren’t you busy?”

“I asked you which hospital he is at!”

She gave Bai Qinghao the address and he immediately hung up. Ten minutes later, his tall and broad figure appeared outside the operation theatre.

“Bai Qinghao, CEO Bai!” All the medical staff, who noticed his presence, became agitated.

Several of the female nurses were watching him with sparkling eyes. “Why did CEO Bai come to our hospital? Wow, he is so handsome, so cool!”

“His family background is extraordinary with a stellar family history. If we can gain his favour, there’ll be a life of unprecedented luxury and wealth waiting for us. We’ll never run out of money!” The relatives of several patients tried to approach him. Unfortunately, Bai Qinghao’s bodyguards forced them to keep their distance. As a result, they could only watch him from afar.

Fang Xinxin noticed him and nodded lightly. “You’re here.”

Bai Qinghao sat down by her side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. His cold, heavy tone was apologetic. “I asked the hospital director about Uncle’s situation. This is all my fault. I never expected the Fang family to neglect him so badly. I haven’t been paying attention to his condition for the past three years.”

“This is not related to you.” She shook her head. “I was the one who asked you to leave him alone, and to not interfere with the Fang family’s matters.”

From what she recalled, back when her father first became ill, Bai Qinghao had offered to care for him. At the time, she was head over heels in love with Bai Chenxi, and had raised her voice against him, telling him to stay out of her business.

“I trusted my mother too much. I never expected that he would be abandoned by his own wife. To think that he would end up in this state!” She closed her eyes and held back her tears.
