Rebirth: Pampered Wife’S Counterattack novel Chapter 138

"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."
