The middle-aged man named Yu became especially unhappy."It's her business whether or not she wants to buy it. How is it related to a passer-by like you?"
"I'm a passer-by?" Despite his words, Bai Jingrou did not mind this turn of events very much. It was a good sign that Fang Xinxin enjoyed wasting money.
She bought a haunted apartment the moment she received money from those elders in the Bai family. People had died one after another in this apartment. Was Fang Xinxin hoping that the three Bai elders would die earlier?
Bai Chenxi was still immersed in his act of being a good person."Xinxin, was there a need to rush into signing a contract by the roadside?"𝐟𝓇𝘦𝒆we𝒃𝘯oνe𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
"Um... I'm so sorry." The middle-aged man named Yu spoke up again."I was nearby coincidentally and I heard from Liu Ling that someone was interested in this haunted... this house. I am extremely busy during this time so I had no choice but to make Miss Fang sign the contract here."
Fang Xinxin transferred the full payment to the property agent's company's account. She then accompanied the middle-aged and Liu Ling to transfer the ownership of the apartment.
Bai Jingrou took in their rear view and said to Bai Chenxi in confusion, "Brother, why did Fang Xinxin buy this haunted apartment? She has the Yu Ting Villa, a luxurious place, to live in. There's no way she'll use this apartment."
Bai Chenxi deliberated over this."A haunted apartment in Mian Lan North District... Fang Xinxin's birth mother is named Fang Lilan. She was murdered at the Fang home by Fang Liyin. Perhaps, Fang Xinxin purchased this apartment because it also has the word 'Lan' in its name?"
"I bet she must have gone insane after spending seven years with her mother's corpse and has taken a liking to haunted apartments." Bai Jingrou added.
"That's also a possibility."
...
That night, in the Bai family's old mansion, only Grandfather Bai Zhongshan, Huang Zhishu, Bai Chenxi and Bai Jingrou were present for dinner.
Bai Qinghao was busy with work and was working overtime at the office. He did not intend to return for dinner.
Bai Jingrou took in the table of sumptuous dishes. She was starving to the point where her stomach was nearly caving in. However, she did not dare to move her chopsticks before the Bai family's elder gave his word.
"Grandfather, can we eat now?" Bai Chenxi was also hungry.
"Xinxin didn't say that she won't be home for dinner. Let's wait for a while longer, " Bai Chongshan instructed sternly.
It seemed like Fang Xinxin was rather important to this old man. That was also a good thing. Bai Chenxi narrowed his eyes."Xinxin will soon become a member of our family. It's true that we should wait for her."
Bai Jingrou was extremely angered by the old man's unfair treatment.
She had been in the Bai family for a long time, but never received his favour.
In comparison, an outsider was being doted on even before she properly entered the family.
What she did not know was that it was the ambition that her family had failed to hide that actually provoked the Bai family's ire. If it wasn't for the late Bai Pu, their family of three would already have lost their positions.
Five minutes later, Fang Xinxin stepped into the villa. She greeted Bai Chongshan with a smile."Grandfather."
"Good. Come over and sit." Bai Chongshan pointed at the seat he had deliberately left open for her.
"Miss Fang sure is easily liked. Our entire family has been waiting for you." Bai Jingrou smiled sweetly.
Fang Xinxin glanced indifferently at her."Bai Jingrou, your words are interesting. If you wish to mock me for putting on airs and making you guys wait, you can speak directly. You must be the only person who tries so hard to mock people imperceptibly. Besides, I didn't even ask your family of three to wait."
She then tugged on Bai Chongshan's arm sweetly."I'm only a family with you, Grandfather."
Bai Jingrou's body was covered in goosebumps from her act.
However, Bai Chongshan thoroughly enjoyed Fang Xinxin's behaviour.
He rubbed his beard happily."Yes, yes. Xinxin, you must be hungry. Dig in."
