"He didn't give me a specific date or time."
Fang Manxue picked up her chopsticks to eat. She scanned the various fried dishes on the table with a disgusted expression."Deep fried food every single day, and it's always these few dishes. I feel like vomiting!"
"True." Fang Lilan's expression was similar to hers."There's no nutrition in these dishes and they are fattening!"
Long Shuhai also grumbled in displeasure."I'm also sick of this food. Just the sight of them makes me nauseous. Xinxin, why don't you ask Bai Qinghao to stop making us eat these?"
The three of them were only allowed to eat these things for the next three months. Bai Qinghao had even assigned a maid from Yu Ting Villa, Ji Qing, to monitor the food they ate. As a result, these were really the only items that they could eat.
Originally, Long Shuhai had planned to secretly buy food from outside. But to his surprise, when he brought out his wallet, the shop owner told him he could have whatever he wanted free of charge.
He had become immediately suspicious. How could there be such a good thing?
In the end, after asking around, he learned that news had spread around about the contract that the three of them had signed.
Sheng Shi Group had issued a statement that, if the three of them bought any food outside, as long as the shop owners handed over the receipts, they would be rewarded with seven hundred thousand dollars each.
By now, most of the places had received this information. Long Shuhai was struggling to guess which shops were still safe to visit.
Moreover, even the Fang family's staff would be rewarded if they reported seeing the three of them going against the contract.
As a result, the three of them were frightened into abiding by the contract.
"What's the point in my asking him?" Fang Xinxin refused to take responsibility."You were the ones who signed the contract. To be honest, redeeming that much money against three months of fried food is really quite a steal. You'll never be able to find such a deal anywhere else!"
"It's easy for you to say so." Fang Manxue placed her chopsticks down in anger."This junk food is meant for poor people. We're used to high quality meals. It's fine if we have this for a day, but forcing me to eat this everyday is worse than death!"
"But in the past, you were the ones who made me eat these things everyday. It seems like I was a poor person in the past, then." Fang Xinxin was really poor in her past life. Even the money Bai Qinghao gave her was sucked away by these greedy mosquitoes.
In this life, she would become a rich woman!
"Xinxin, mom was in the wrong in the past." Fang Lilan softened her attitude."Mom originally wanted to raise you to be well-fed. This is because I heard that a lot of wealthy families preferred their daughter-in-laws to have a big figure. This way, it's easier for them to give birth to children. I wanted you to put on some weight so that you'll be doted on by the Bai family. How would I have known that these fried dough, fried chicken and fried bread... would be so greasy? My intestines are completely covered in oil now."
She looked at Fang Xinxin with a pitiful expression."Mom had good intentions. I didn't expect that I made you suffer instead. This was all mom's fault. Please beg Bai Qinghao on our behalf. He will definitely release us from this harsh punishment if you ask him."
"You have food to eat yet you call it a severe sentence." Fang Xinxin remained unfazed."Since you know that you were in the wrong, complete your three months deal to prove that your regret is genuine."
Fang Lilan slapped the table abruptly."At the end of the day, you're still unwilling to speak to Bai Qinghao for us!"
"Obviously."
"You..." Fang Lilan was going to lose her temper but was cut off by Long Shuhai."Sister-in-law, forget it if the child is unwilling. Don't be angry. You'll harm your body."
"Hu..." Fang Lilan patted her chest lightly. Her eyes were wide with anger.
