Rebirth: Pampered Wife’S Counterattack

Chapter 686: The Old Man Cannot Meet Long Yifan

Unfortunately, the past was set in stone.

In the end, it was Jingrou who delivered the news of Long Xuan’s death, as well as the grey hair he left behind when he had been alive.

They quickly arrived in front of Long Yifan’s hospital room.

Bai Jingrou was always prepared for unexpected circumstances. This time, however, she was filled with regret.

If she had known that causing Bai Chongshan to fall ill would not only fail to stop Bai Qinghao’s wedding, but also draw Long Jingyuan into meeting Father Fang, she would never have taken this risk!

However, the people she was dealing with were all extraordinarily intelligent.

Based on Long Jingyuan’s character, the more she interfered with this, the more insistent he would be about meeting Long Yifan.

Thus, Bai Jingrou did not dare to say a single word to persuade him not to visit Father Fang.

Right now, what options did she have to stop the two of them from meeting?

Suddenly Bai Jingrou held her stomach. Her complexion was pale and she muttered. “Aiyo…”

Long Jingyuan turned to her in confusion. “What’s wrong, Jingrou?”

“Grandfather, my stomach really hurts…” She appeared to be in a lot of pain, and it did not seem as though she was acting.

No matter how much Long Jingyuan disliked his only grandchild, he would still worry for her. “Grandfather will bring you to a doctor immediately…”

Bai Jingrou had intentionally done this to draw him away. Still, she insisted. “But, you were just about to visit Fang Xinxin’s father…”

“There’s no hurry.” Long Jingyuan shook his head. “Your health is more important.”

Bai Jingrou lowered her head as her eyes glinted with viciousness and satisfaction. A moment later, she had a helpless smile on. “Both my mother and my adopted brother aren’t around. I can only trouble you, Grandfather.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Long Jingyuan seemed to have understood. Besides Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu, the Bai family would not care if Bai Jingrou was dead or alive. He immediately became angry. “Don’t worry Jingrou, you still have your grandfather!”

“Grandfather…” Bai Jingrou leaned her head against Long Jingyuan’s shoulder. He supported her towards the doctor’s office.

Long Jingyuan took a few steps before he turned back to speak to Fang Xinxin. “Xinxin, I’m really sorry. I’ll visit your father another time.”

“It’s alright.” Fang Xinxin shook her head.

She took in Bai Jingrou’s feeble back view and had a feeling that Bai Jingrou did not wish for Long Jingyuan to meet her father.

A hint of a suspicion rose in Fang Xinxin’s heart.

A moment later, she received a message from Bai Jingrou: [Don’t assume that you can grow close to my grandfather just by addressing him as ‘Grandfather Long’. Let me tell you, Fang Xinxin, no matter how much you flatter my grandfather, you’ll never be able to obtain any benefits from the Long Group!]

If Fang Xinxin had been anyone else, she most definitely would have chosen to avoid Long Jingyuan after reading this message to avoid causing herself troubles.

Fang Xinxin had suffered too much in the past and never knew who exactly schemed against her. She could only vaguely guess that it had been Bai Jingrou.

Thus, she enjoyed going against Bai Jingrou. The more Bai Jingrou tried to keep her away from Long Jingyuan, the more she would do the exact opposite!

Fang Xinxin stayed in her father’s hospital room for a while before she headed to the thirty-eighth floor to inquire about Bai Jingrou’s condition.

She wanted to know if Bai Jingrou had been pretending to be ill earlier.

The doctor had diagnosed Bai Jingrou with acute abdominal pain and said it was likely she had eaten something wrong. He had prescribed her some medicine and told her to rest at home.

It turns out she was not pretending to be ill. Could it be that Fang Xinxin was thinking too much?

After this matter, Long Jingyuan brought Bai Jingrou to the Long family’s villa to rest.

Jingrou laid on the enormous bed in the main bedroom while Long Jingyuan stood by her bedside. He took in the sight of his granddaughter’s pale complexion and spoke in heartache. “Jingrou, ah. You have to take good care of your health. You are the only family member that Grandfather has right now.”
