Chapter 142: An Engagement With Manxue?

Liu Li had held Fang Lilan, the old pig, for quite some time. He also felt tired. Thus, he relaxed his grip.

Fang Lilan’s feet came into contact with the ground and she immediately began sobbing. “Xinxin, Mom has always doted on you the most. The reason your food and living were poorer is really because you were too overweight. I wanted you to shed some pounds. I did it all for your own good. If you gain any more weight, you’ll die from obesity. Wouldn’t mom also expire from heartache then? I never expected you to repay me in this way. You’re refusing to let this matter go, and forcing your family into a dead end!”

She turned and lamented tearfully to Bai Qinghao. “CEO Bai, I’m usually busy with work and failed to discipline my daughter well. This is why Xinxin became so narrow-minded and selfish. She won’t let go of even the smallest matters. She really isn’t suited to be the Bai family’s daughter-in-law. If you wish to dissolve your marriage contract with her, our Fang family definitely won’t hold any resentments.”

Fang Xinxin watched as her family forced her to cut ties with them. All of them were reprimanding her and blaming her. Although she had already seen their true colours in her previous life, and had grown numb to this, she could not help feel the pain that lanced through her heart.

For the sake of dissolving her marriage contract with Bai Qinghao, her mother and second uncle were truly willing to make use of every strategy possible.

To think that previously, for the sake of her family, she had stupidly handed over an outstanding man like Bai Qinghao to Fang Manxue without any conditions.

Bai Qinghao had not been able to accept it and still insisted on only wanting her, Fang Xinxin.

In this life, even if he wanted to end their engagement, she would never agree to it.

Unless… Bai Qinghao no longer had her in his heart.

Bai Qinghao glanced at Fang Manxue. She immediately put on a shy, beautiful smile. His gaze shifted back to Fang Lilan as he asked casually. “If Fang Xinxin is not suited to be Madam Bai… then…”

Fang Lilan was fearful that if he really dissolved his engagement with Fang Xinxin, the Fang family would not have any more opportunities to hold onto his golden thigh.

She immediately responded with gusto. “The marriage contract between the two families was arranged by your grandmother. How could we make light of her will? Although Xinxin isn’t suitable for you, my daughter Manxue is extremely capable and intelligent. She is beautiful and she handles matters with a broad-mind. She is noble enough to enter your family hall, and virtuous enough to excel in the kitchen despite her wealthy upbringing. She is definitely the most suitable to become Madam Bai…”

She went on and on and praised Fang Manxue endlessly.

Fang Manxue complained to her mother shyly. “Mom, how can you praise your daughter so much in front of CEO Bai! Your daughter isn’t as outstanding as you say.”

Although she uttered these words, she secretly wished her mother would continue to bring up more of her merits.

Long Shuhai wanted to glorify Fang Manxue’s abilities as well.

To his surprise, Bai Qinghao responded to Fang Manxue’s words and continued. “Indeed. Director Fang is especially good at lying through her teeth. Thankfully, at least Fang Manxue possesses some self-awareness. She is able to tell that she isn’t as good as Director Fang is making her out to be. A filthy woman like her isn’t even suited to hold my shoes. Where did Director Fang find the face to nudge her towards the position of Madam Bai?”

Not even suited to hold his shoes?!?

Fang Manxue’s beautiful, delicately made up face turned ugly in an instant.

Even Fang Lilan was dumbstruck. How could Bai Qinghao insult her baby, Fang Manxue, in this manner?

Long Shuhai was similarly angered into curling his fists tightly. However, he did not dare to make any noise of dissent.

“CEO Bai… Manxue wishes to know. Why do you think I’m… filthy?” Fang Manxue struggled to repeat the word he had used to describe her. Her eyes had reddened from her grievance and tears pooled in them, nearly about to fall. There was no need to mention just how pitiful she appeared at this juncture.

Fang Manxue had a beautiful face and a curvaceous, outstanding body. A great beauty like her was displaying an extremely pitiful expression. A typical man’s heart would have already shattered in heartache for her.
