Rebirth: Pampered Wife’S Counterattack

Chapter 197: Embarrassing Position In The Family

Fang Xinxin gazed at her in fascination. “Mom, your nature wasn’t like this before.”

In her memories, before she turned eleven, her mother always appeared to be a graceful and generous woman. She was never the kind to lose her temper. In fact, whenever Fang Xinxin interacted with her, she alway sensed the deep love her mother had for her.

This had always made her want to reciprocate the love her mother had for her, and to be filial to her.

As a result, right until the last moment in her previous life, she had been foolishly filial.

But, ever since she turned eleven...

Although her mother remained a graceful figure and maintained an amicable disposition, she also began deliberately harming her despite claiming otherwise.

She changed overnight.

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say... she became a different person.

Fang Lilan felt apprehensive when she saw Fang Xinxin’s piercing gaze directed at her. However, on the surface, she grumbled. “Isn’t this all your fault? Xinxin, you’ve always been obedient and filial. Mom’s frame of mind was naturally good. There wasn’t any reason for me to be upset. But you’ve become more and more rebellious. How can I not worry or get angry?”

“In that case, it must still be my fault.” Fang smiled mockingly. She was too lazy to listen to their complaints. She turned and headed into the kitchen.

She rummaged through the refrigerator and found some lean pork meat, an egg and some vegetables.

These had been prepared for the helpers.

In the Fang home, helpers could not eat at the table with their employers. The Fang family’s food was different from that which the helpers ate. Usually, they would bring the food to their rooms, or have it quickly in the kitchen. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Earlier, the Fang family’s kitchen used to be stocked with all sorts of luxurious, delectable ingredients. However, now that the three of them could only have deep fried food, Fang Lilan had ‘gifted’ away their remaining food.

She had been clearly afraid that Fang Xinxin would touch those expensive things, but her excuse was that she was saving money on future gifts.

Forget it...

In any case, she had enough money now. Moreover, she was trying to lose weight. Lean mean was suitable for her.

She had all the condiments that she needed. Fang Xinxin picked up the knife and cut the lean meat into strips. Then, she turned on the fire on the stove.

In the dining room, Fang Manxue glanced toward the kitchen. “Mom, that fattie is cooking again.”

Fang Lilan pursed her slightly wrinkled lips in disdain. “She’s really wasting our food. If we don’t give her anything, I bet this poor ghost would die of hunger.”

“We can’t possibly stop her from having fresh meat and eggs.” Long Shuhai lowered his voice. “In our current situation, we have to rely on her to return to our former glory.”

Fang Lilan glared at Fang Manxue. “This is all your fault. Your figure is clearly a hundred times better than Fang Xinxin’s. Your face is also a thousand times more attractive. It’s been years. Why haven’t you been able to seduce Bai Qinghao till now?”

“Do you think I don’t want to?” Fang Manxue was angered. “You can’t blame me like this... as my mother... and you.”

She glanced at Long Shuhai.

“As my...” she paused and swallowed her last few words down. “The two of you should be helping me. How am I supposed to succeed on my own?”

Fang Lilan was frustrated. “Haven’t I been helping you all this time? I created so many opportunities for you. Look...” She lifted her injured left hand.

“For the sake of helping you, I accepted a ‘reward’ from Bai Qinghao and suffered the blow of a bottle of red wine on my head. My injury still hasn’t healed completely.”

“You can’t blame your mother.” Long Shuhai’s heart ached for Fang Lilan. “Manxue ah, previously, your mom found an opportunity and requested Bai Qinghao to end his engagement with Fang Xinxin. It was Bai Qinghao who was unwilling. Your mom has always been trying her best.”

“My mom has been putting in quite some effort, but you haven’t done anything!”

Long Shuhai was helpless. “That’s because my position in the Fang family is too embarrassing...”
