Rebirth: Pampered Wife’S Counterattack

Chapter 612: Scheme Seen Through

“Uncle, Auntie.” Fang Xinxin bowed slightly to both of them.

Truthfully speaking, in this life, she disdained bowing towards anyone.

However, they were Bai Qinghao’s direct relatives. It was alright to give them this respect.

“En.” The couple nodded slightly as a response.

Bai Qinghao frowned. “Xinxin, when you meet my family in the future, it will suffice to simply greet them. There’s no need for you to bow. My woman doesn’t have to lower her head towards anyone!”

“Uh…” Fang Xinxin responded with some awkwardness. “I was being polite earlier.”

“Of course.” Bai Qinghao added overbearingly, “It’s also alright if you don’t wish to greet them.”

“I respect everyone from your family.” She smiled lightly.

Bai Qinghao approached her side and held her shoulder. “As a sign of my respect towards you, I brought my family here to meet you.”

He always acted as he intended and was not afraid of insulting the Bai family’s elders to their face.

When Bai Chongshan heard this, he did not become angry. Instead, he was very satisfied at the sight of his only grandson. “Qinghao, you’re just like your grandfather when I was young.”

Bai Jingrou saw that Bai Qinghao had brought the elders here to meet Fang Xinxin and was clearly intending on spoiling her to death. A hint of sourness filled her heart. However, she maintained a dignified expression to bow towards Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and his wife.

Bai Hong and his wife appeared indifferent. Only Bai Chongshan responded with a light nod.

“Cousin.” When Bai Jingrou greeted Bai Qinghao, her voice was especially soft. It was akin to that of a little rabbit that drew one’s doting.

Bai Qinghao glanced at her coldly. “Why were you pulling Xinxin earlier?”

“Oh… I…” Bai Jingrou was about to respond when Fang Xinxin pointed at Butler Bai Mingde and Huang Zhishu. “She asked me to bow to both of them.”

Bai Qinghao’s expression instantly turned heavy. “Bai Jingrou, who do you think you are? You asked my woman to bow to a butler and your mother?”

“I…” Bai Jingrou did not expect Fang Xinxin to say this. Her complexion instantly turned pale.

When Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi heard this, they turned and saw that Huang Zhishu was actually supporting the butler. The three of them were intelligent people and immediately understood the matter. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Under their gaze, Huang Zhishu rushed to release Butler Bai Mingde. She approached them quickly. “I’m sorry. Jingrou, that child, is too filial. She wanted to come and greet me, but she did not intend for Miss Fang to misunderstand.”

“Is that so?” Bai Chong Shan’s expression was stern and he clearly did not believe her.

He spoke in a voice that was cold and firm despite his age. “Daughter-in-law, I feel the need to remind you that the Bai family has never allowed outsiders to interfere with the matters of its bloodline. My elder son, Bai Pu, took you as his wife. Although the two of you did not manage to conceive, my younger son, Bai Hong, and his wife already had Bai Qinghao at the time. There was absolutely no need for the both of you to adopt any children. Although you both insisted on bringing Chenxi and Jingrou in, we won’t mistreat you now that Bai Pu has passed. The adoption contract written back then is clear as day. Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou have absolutely no rights to succession. If they are unhappy with that, they may leave the Bai family and receive a sum of money in exchange. Simply because they refuse to leave, it doesn’t mean that you and your children can step past your boundaries. Do you understand?”

Huang Zhishu was in rage internally. However, she nodded understandingly on the surface. “Yes.”
