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!
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!
