Chapter 637 - Xiao Aiting

Long Jingyuan did not express his intentions. “Whether or not you desire it, you are still the Long Group’s only successor. Who asked you to be Grandfather’s only living relative? It’s a good thing that the Bai family is willing to let you into the Sheng Shi Group.”

Did this mean that the Bai family was beginning to acknowledge her character?

Bai Jingrou initially thought to ask him to visit her frequently at the Bai mansion. However, she recalled that Fang Xinxin would be living here for a period and did not dare to do so. She was worried that unexpected problems would occur.

Long Jingyuan held the walking stick in his hands and headed into the old mansion with Bai Jingrou’s support. He played a few rounds of chess with Bai Chongshan while sipping on some tea.

His granddaughter busied herself the entire time, taking good care of him.

He wasn’t certain why but he felt extremely distant from his granddaughter.

Was it because they were separated for over twenty years and had never lived together?

…

The next morning, at 7:40, a Bugatti Veyron drove into the Sheng Shi Group’s main office’s car park located in the business district.

Work began at 8:00 a.m. and the employees tended to flood in around this time.

Fang Xinxin alighted from the extravagantly luxurious Bugatti Veyron. A crowd of employees had already begun to gather when her car came to a stop.

“Wow, it’s a Bugatti!” A female employee exclaimed.

There were also male employees sizing up the car to discuss. “This car is worth over twenty-five million dollars. Very few people can afford it even in a bustling place like the city centre…”

Everyone watched as Fang Xinxin alighted and people were further taken aback. They all commented. “A good car is truly compatible with a beautiful woman!”

“Tsk, isn’t it just Fang Xinxin? Look at that car plate. Even ghosts would recognise it. Wasn’t Boss the one who bought this car for her?” A female employee located at the back of the crowd sounded particularly jealous. “If she was relying on herself, as a broke female student whose family has gone bankrupt, I bet she wouldn’t be able to afford a Cherry QQ worth a few thousand dollars.”

Most of the people who parked their cars here were employees from the Sheng Shi Group. When they overheard her words, they all turned to look at her in amazement.

Another female employee tugged on her sleeves and whispered. “Xiao Aiting, don’t you know who she is? She is our future CEO’s wife. Don’t offend her.”

The employee named Xia Aiting harrumphed coldly. “So what if she is the future CEO’s wife? That’s only because she is lucky.” She asked in Fang Xinxin’s direction, “Miss Fang, won’t you allow us to speak the truth? Tell us yourself. If Boss didn’t not purchase this Bugatti for you, would you have the right to own such a car?”

The crowd of employees turned to look at Fang Xinxin with strange expressions.

They all felt that Xiao Aiting was somewhat correct.

But the truth was, with Fang Xinxin’s achievements today, she could easily purchase a Bugatti Veyron worth over twenty-five million dollars. She simply chose not to do so.

Fang Xinxin asked indifferently. “In that case, who do you think has the right to own this car?”

“Of course it’s the Bai family’s adopted daughter. Only Miss Bai Jingrou, who is the true granddaughter of the Long Group can afford such a luxurious car.” Xiao Aiting’s expression was filled with admiration as she spoke about Bai Jingrou. “She is the Long Group’s only successor and is a proper well-bred lady from a good family. Her status is extremely valuable.”

Fang Xinxin noticed that Bai Jingrou’s car had coincidentally driven into the carpark. After parking her car, Bai Jingrou immediately approached them. “Bai Jingrou herself can’t afford a Bugatti Veyron. Didn’t you see? Her car is a Mercedes-Benz worth only a few hundred thousand dollars.”

“Only a few hundred thousand dollars…” Xiao Aiting appeared to have heard an especially amusing joke.

She scanned the silent crowd around them. “Everyone, did you hear that? It seems like a few hundred thousand dollars isn’t a lot to Fang Xinxin. She’s been acting like a leech and clinging onto our boss. I bet that if you leave our boss, you wouldn’t even be able to afford a thousand dollars!”
