Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack - Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Extra Layer Of Protection Gone

“Scram.” A hint of impatience flashed past Bai Qinghao’s expression.

Huang Zhishu was frightened into trembling. However, she could not back down when it came to her own daughter.

She knew that it was useless to continue begging him any further. Thus, she turned to Elder Bai Chongshan. “Father, though Jingrou is my adopted daughter, I’ve always treated her as my own. She has always been a good child and is the Long Group’s only successor. If news spread that Bai Qinghao has detained her, her reputation would be ruined.”

Fang Xinxin suspected that Bai Jingrou was not Long Jingyuan’s granddaughter. Instead, there was a possibility that she herself was part of the Long family’s bloodline.

However, this was only a suspicion. She did not wish for others to think that she was greedy for the Long family’s wealth. Thus, she did not plan on bringing this matter up yet.

In any case, when Long Jingyuan awoke, the truth would be revealed. There was no need to rush this matter.

Bai Chenxi spoke up as well. “Grandfather, considering that Jingrou is the Bai family’s adopted daughter and that us siblings have been accompanying you in the old mansion for the past few years, please help my sister.”

The elder’s expression was heavy. “Since Qinghao has taken over this matter, it isn’t right for me to interfere.”

“Brother-in-law, Sister-in-law…” Huang Zhishu turned to the silent Bai Hong and his wife.

“Qinghao knows his limits,” Bai Hong spoke up coldly.

Huang Zhishu was angered. She put on a disheartened expression. “Fine, all of you are treating Jingrou like an outsider. It was one matter when she was only seen as an adopted daughter. Since all of you don’t think kindly of her, let her return to the Long family and give up the Bai name.”

Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi did not care about this.

Elder Bai, however, was angered into glaring at her. “Very good. Consider it that the Bai family raised her for nothing then. From this day onwards, Jingrou is no longer a member of the Bai family!”

Huang Zhishu spoke in pain. “Since Jingrou isn’t a member of the Bai family…” She turned to Bai Qinghao fearfully. “You can’t detain her.”

Bai Qinghao’s lips twitched into a hint of a cold smile. “Since she isn’t a member of the Bai family, she won’t be missed even if she dies.”

Of course, even if she were an outsider with the Bai family’s name, her death would not affect anyone.

Huang Zhishu’s original intentions were to rescue her daughter. She did not expect things to turn even worse. “Qinghao, that wasn’t what I meant. I just wanted you to let go of Jingrou…”

Bai Qinghao’s expression was indifferent, akin to that of the King of Hell. “If you make me repeat the word ‘scram’ again, don’t even think about stepping out of the Yu Ting Villa!”

Bai Chenxi was frightened into dragging Huang Zhishu with him as he ran out of the place.

Although they were both very unhappy, there was nothing they could do.

The Bai family’s elders excused themselves. Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin finally returned to their bedroom to continue their private theme of ‘making a baby’…

In the Jing Xin Residence behind the old Bai mansion.

Huang Zhishu’s legs were weak as Bai Chenxi supported her to sit down on the sofa.

“Mom, things are going to become bad!” Bai Chenxi’s expression was dark and filled with reprimand. “You shouldn’t have removed Jingrou from the Bai family at this time. If she remains part of the Bai family, she would still have a layer of protection.”

“I thought that Bai Qinghao would let go of her if this happened.” Huang Zhishu gritted her teeth in anger. “I didn’t expect Bai Qinghao to be this ruthless. He is completely inhumane!”

She held her son’s hand. “Chenxi, what should we do now?”

“Sister’s plot to kill Long Jingrou must have failed.” Bai Chenxi was a smart man. “As long as Jingrou’s fake status as the Long family’s only successor isn’t exposed, Elder Long won’t pursue this matter. She should remain unharmed and well.”
