Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack Chapter 271 - You Can Only Do, And Not Speak

Chapter 271: You Can Only Do, And Not Speak

Auntie Qiu had come to the Fang home eight years ago. She was on Fang Lilan’s side and was definitely not a good thing.

Auntie Qiu watched as the door shut in her face. She was enraged, but her expression was quickly replaced by a kind and understanding one.

Fang Xinxin stood before the window and watched as Fang Lilan and Long Shuhai drove out of the Fang home together.

Her expression was heavy. She brought out her phone and dialled a number. “Chi Minzhe, send someone to watch Fang Lilan and Long Shuhai. If the two of them are seen behaving suspiciously, take photos and send it over.”

“No problem,” a man responded cheerfully on the other end.

Chi Minzhe was the owner of a private investigator office.

She had contacted him several days ago.

In her previous life, even after she married into the Bai family, there were many women who had thoughts about Bai Qinghao.

Back then, she did consider spending the rest of her lifetime with Bai Qinghao. However, her own inferiority had made it nearly impossible.

She had secretly contracted a private investigation office to keep tabs on all the suspicious women around Bai Qinghao.

After several incidents, she learnt that Chi Minzhe had a good character. He was well-connected and his fee was also reasonable.

However, Chi Minzhe refused to take on any business related to shady affairs.

He was unlike Hei Xiao, who paid no attention to the nature of the business requested. As long as they had agreed to do something, they would be ruthless with their methods. No matter how shady the affair was, it would not stop them.

To find the man who had stolen her phone and framed her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, she needed the people from Hei Xiao to help her.

As for simple matters like following someone, Chi Minzhe would suffice.

In this life, when it came to building connections, discussing businesses and starting her own company…

Fang Xinxin was making slow but steady progress.

She placed her phone back into her pocket and stood before her window to watch the ink-black sky.

The stars and the moon were bright tonight. Ever so often, a few stars would glisten, causing the night to appear especially lonesome.

She wasn’t sure if the view was causing her to feel lonely, or if she was missing Bai Qinghao.

She wondered if Bai Qinghao, the man she loved dearly, was similarly thinking about her?

He was far away on the border. But despite the distance between them, they both stood under the same sky.

She loved him. He was her longing.

No matter where he was, or how far away from her, she would silently await his return.

At this moment, on a particular patch of gra.s.s in the forest, Bai Qinghao laid on the gra.s.s with his eyes fixated on the night sky. Over time, he seemed to find Fang Xinxin’s little face in the moon. Her brows, eyes, lips and nose…

His gaze was distant and heavy, and seemed to contain the entire universe. Unknowingly, that pair of eyes turned gentle…

On the nights where he could not return to her side, could she possibly know of his deep longing for her?

…

The next morning, after waking up, Fang Xinxin exercised for two hours as usual. She wanted to slim down as much as she could while Bai Qinghao was still away.

She recalled Fang Lilan’s words and did not head to the school. Instead, she waited in the living room on the first floor.

At around 7.30 in the morning, Fang Lilan’s car turned into their front yard. A few minutes later, she entered the living room with a takeaway box in her hands. “Xinxin, why are you up so early?”

“Last night, what was it you mentioned about something you can only do, but not say?” Fang Xinxin lifted her brows.

“You’ll know soon.” Fang Lilan placed the takeaway box on the table. “My good daughter, have some breakfast first. Mom personally went to queue for Xu Xiang Ji’s osmanthus pancakes just for you. Their business is too good. I spent an entire hour queuing for it. Normally, I would never waste time queuing for such a thing. But what can I do? This happens to be our Xinxin’s favourite food.”
