Chapter 38: 036 must die!
Qiu Yiming's lapse lasted only a moment, but Bai Qianqian keenly sensed his malice. Bai Qianqian had always been sensitive, and his perception had enhanced dramatically after his spiritual awakening. Although it was just a moment, Yiming's undisguised disdain was still captured by him. He also noticed the coldness in Fang Mengyao's eyes.
He frowned, instinctively disliking Qiu Yiming and Fang Mengyao, and grabbed Fang Yuxin's hand, saying, "Mama, that annoying uncle is here again! Who are they?" His question, instead, left Fang Yuxin at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say? That Qiu Yiming was her fiancé, Fang Mengyao was her half-sister from the same father, an illegitimate daughter?
Fang Yuyang got up and walked towards the door. "I'll go open it."
Even as Fang Yuyang led Qiu Yiming and Fang Mengyao in, Fang Yuxin still couldn't think of a proper explanation. Seeing her reluctance to speak, Bai Qianqian became even more cautious and grew to dislike Qiu Yiming and Fang Mengyao even more. His eyes blinked unblinkingly as he scrutinized the two people walking in, his gaze half curious, half evaluative.
Qiu Yiming quickly walked up to Fang Yuxin, looked her over carefully, and upon seeing that she was alright, he sighed in relief and said, "Uncle and aunt, and Xin Xin, I'm so glad you are all safe!" He paused, looked at Bai Qianqian, and forced a smile, "Qianqian, do you remember your uncle?"
Thinking of how Bai Qianqian's father was Bai Ye, and looking at his resemblance to Fang Yuxin, Yiming felt another violent urge in his heart, wishing that Bai Qianqian would just vanish completely.
Fang Mengyao had also noticed their resemblance and quickly spoke, "This child really looks a lot like Sister Xin, could he be your son, Sister Xin? But that's not right, I've never seen him before. Could it be that you picked him up from somewhere, Sister Xin?"
No sooner had she spoken than Qiu Yiming glared at her fiercely. He had never wanted to accept that Bai Qianqian was Fang Yuxin's son, and now Mengyao had blurted it out so carelessly!
Fang Mengyao, realizing Qiu Yiming cared so much about Fang Yuxin, felt a surge of resentment, and a cold murderous intent unconsciously showed in her eyes.
Bai Qianqian, always wary of Mengyao and Yiming, saw this and his expression turned cold, and looking up, he stared at Mengyao and said, "Who are you? Why are you looking at my mama with that murderous look?"
Despite his young age, his voice, though soft and childlike, carried an intimidating chill. His words changed the expressions of everyone present. Qiu Yiming looked at Bai Qianqian and Fang Yuxin in disbelief, his face a picture of shock.
What the Fang Family cared about was Mengyao's attitude towards Yuxin. The murderous intent she had inadvertently shown was not only noticed by Bai Qianqian, but other members of the Fang Family too, and superpower users had much stronger perception than ordinary people. Yet, no one expected that Bai Qianqian, a child, would also notice it and openly speak about it!
For a moment, all eyes of the Fang Family were on Fang Mengyao. Fang Jintang's brows were tightly knotted; he had speculated before that Mengyao might be aware of something but had not dared to believe it, only keeping his suspicions, yet her demeanor and attitude now, to say there had been no prior preparation, he would not believe it even if you beat him to death.
Fang Jintang felt very disappointed. Although he did not like his daughter, ever since her mother died, he believed he had never treated her unfairly, almost always fulfilling her requests. Even though Qu Qianhe and the two children did not like her, they had not been overtly excessive, never bullied her. How could she harbor such strong prejudices against them?
Thinking of the several phone calls he had made, Fang Jintang sighed silently in his heart, unwilling to continue the thought.
Fang Yuyang's gaze was deep as he stared at Fang Mengyao, recalling the dream Fang Yuxin had mentioned. His gaze turned icy, murderous intent boiling within him, yet his face showed nothing. He had never liked Fang Mengyao, not since the beginning!
He would never forget when Fang Yuxin was just a little over one or two years old, a heavily pregnant Zhu Wanxia suddenly rushed at them, resulting in Fang Yuxin getting frightened. Nightmares would awaken her, causing incessant crying, and it took a while before she calmed down. Because of Zhu Wanxia, Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang's relationship had almost reached its freezing point at that time, nearly leading to divorce, but they resolved the misunderstandings and reconciled.
Zhu Wanxia was foolish and greedy, thinking that giving birth to a son could force Qu Qianhe away, expecting to leverage her son to elevate her status. Unfortunately, she bore a daughter instead. Fang Jintang gave her a million yuan as child support, cutting off all ties with that child thereafter.
This matter should have concluded there, yet before Zhu Wanxia's death, she sought out Fang Jintang, asking him to take Fang Mengyao back to the Fang family when she was already 15 and rebelliously stubborn—a result of Zhu Wanxia's upbringing.
Thus, Qu Qianhe hired a private detective to investigate and found out that after receiving the money, Zhu Wanxia left her daughter with her elderly parents and moved to a big city, still dreaming of marrying into wealth. She met many wealthy people and was seduced multiple times, but tragically, they never intended to let her conceive. Eventually, she schemed and succeeded, but the man's wife, not being easy to contend with, had her brutally beaten, causing a miscarriage, and Zhu almost lost her life.
Zhu Wanxia must have been driven mad, failing to give up even after such an event. With her conditions, finding an ordinary man was not difficult, but she refused, still aiming to marry into a wealthy family. In the end, whether by scheming or sheer coincidence, she encountered a con artist posing as a rich man who not only deceived her emotionally but also wiped her bank account clean, leaving her with HIV.
From the original million from the Fangs, she left two hundred thousand for her parents to raise the child, spending the remaining eight hundred thousand plus some later earnings, all of which totaled up to one million three hundred thousand, completely swindled from her. Since then, her health progressively worsened, leading to an untimely death.
These things, he and Qu Qianhe knew, but had not told Fang Jintang and Fang Yuxin. So from the start, because of Zhu Wanxia, he despised Fang Mengyao. But Fang Mengyao was just a young girl; even though he disliked her, he wouldn't actually harm her, at most maintaining a cold demeanor.
However, Fang Mengyao was particularly sensitive and desired everything Fang Yuxin had. After realizing the cold attitudes from the Fang Family members, she caused a scene and then demanded to move out, insisting Fang Jintang buy her a house.
These events, Fang Yuxin might have forgotten, but he remembered them all. Initially, he had no intention of contending with Fang Mengyao, yet she should not have administered "Suppressant" on the Fang family members! And those scenes from Fang Yuxin's dream, although she always emphasized they were just dreams and would not occur, he did not see it that way; he sensed something ominous about Fang Yuxin's dreams. Even if it was merely a premonition, he would never allow it!
If Fang Yuxin's dream was just a wake-up call, the murderous intent towards Fang Yuxin inadvertently revealed by Fang Mengyao made him realize—Fang Mengyao must die!
