Chapter 138: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (1)

“It’s…” Long Shuhai was about to respond.

But Fang Lilan glared at him. Her eyes were clearly implying that if he responded affirmatively, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had lived in a storeroom earlier. Hadn’t they given Bai Qinghao enough reasons to hate them already?

Long Shuhai tactfully fell silent.

“Rather than a storeroom, it’s simply one of the rooms on the first floor. The place is quite nice and well-maintained. Since the commander wishes to see it, please follow me…” Fang Lilan indicated with her hand and turned to walk down the hallway next to the staircase.

She paused at the end of the hallway and turned around the corner to approach one of the rooms located several meters inwards.

Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin followed behind.

The moment Fang Xinxin saw the door, she knew something was amiss.

The brand new, well-made door was an indicator of what lay inside. She had no doubt the interior would be starkly different from what she remembered it to be.

Fang Lilan pointed at the door. “CEO Bai, look. This door was bought from a reputable brand. I spent more than a thousand dollars on it. Compare it with the other rooms over there. Those aren’t as expensive. This is all because we prioritised Xinxin’s privacy. She’s my daughter after all. Everything has to be of the best quality.”

“Whose rooms are those?” Bai Qinghao asked with a heavy tone.

“It’s…” Fang Lilan had no way of concealing it. “They belong to the maids.”

Bai Qinghao’s face was extremely dark. His eyes seemed to burn with murderous intent. “You made my fiancée sleep in the maid’s quarters?”

“I…” Fang Lilan could not come up with a good excuse.

In that instant, Fang Manxue rushed to speak up, instead. “CEO Bai, you’ve misunderstood my mother. My mother has always doted on my third sister more than me. This is all because my third sister is extremely overweight, and was too lazy to climb the stairs. The Fang family is unlike the Yu Ting Villa where elevators have been installed. My third sister was the one who requested to stay here.”

Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. “Is that so?”

“Of course you’ll deny it now.” Fang Manxue replied with reddened eyes. “Third sister, I know that your academic results are poor, and that you’re jealous of me for being a top student. Mom only criticised your grades a little, and because of that, you’re having a cold war with her.”

“I’m the one who wants to see the room that Fang Xinxin used for seven years. This is unrelated to Fang Xinxin!” Bai Qinghao was upset with the way Fang Manxue always shifted the topic onto Fang Xinxin’s flaws.

“I’m jealous of your good grades?” Fang Xinxin looked at Fang Manxue as though she was retarded. “Don’t make up lies about me. It’ll be examination time soon. We’ll see exactly who performs better at that time!”

Liu Li had heard of Fang Xinxin’s gamble with Fang Manxue.

Water had really entered this fattie’s brain. She was actually competing with her genius second sister over examination grades? Wasn’t this the same as using an egg to break a stone!

He looked forward to watching Fattie Fang being humiliated when the time came.

Fang Lilan quickly opened the expensive door to reveal a room that was around ten meters square big.

The windows were half the size of a regular room. However, it was indeed well decorated. The wallpaper was pale yellow and the curtains were white. Although the bed did not appear to be expensive, it was sturdy with a wooden frame. It was around 1.5 meters wide and the frame matched the colour of the closet.

There was a vanity, a couch, and a ceiling to floor mirror. It contained everything that one could possibly need.

At the first glance, it indeed seemed like a place where one wouldn’t suffer.

Fang Xinxin pursed her lips. Previously, the room walls had been covered in mold. The paint had cracked and was flaking off. The closet looked splotchy due to its fading colour. From the start, the room did not have any wallpaper and the furniture had been non-existent.

The things she had owned were sufficient to fill up one box.

She had even made her own curtains with newspapers.

It was clear that someone renovated the room overnight.

Furthermore…

The paint and furniture were the expensive sort that did not carry any smell of newness.

Smart move!!
