Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

Chapter 521: Lend Me Your Car

“What do you mean by that!” Fang Lilan’s expression changed as she demanded. “What do your crimes have to do with me?”

As she took in his mocking expression, she softened her stance. “Shaohua, I understand that you have some misunderstandings about me, but these grievances between a mother and a son shouldn’t be held onto. When your illness has been cured, return to prison and properly serve your sentence. Do your best to get an early release. We’re still a family.”

She originally wanted to invite him back to the Fang family. However, his complexion was especially poor and he had just coughed out blood. The stench of blood was thick in the air. There was no way it was fake.

He had a serious lung disease. If he passed his disease to the people in the family…

It was better not to take this risk.

“Mom is really worried about you.” Fang Lilan appeared sorrowful as her tears welled up. “Fang Shaohua, ever since you were imprisoned, your future was thoroughly ruined. Mom has been thoroughly heartbroken and I’ve yet to fully come to terms with it.”

“Is that so?” Fang Shaohua took in her radiant and healthy appearance.

This woman never once visited him in the prison during the past three years. She only came by once when he was first imprisoned and that also to question if he had any money saved under his name. She had wanted to take all his savings away. Was this what she meant by being thoroughly heartbroken?

“No matter how upset I was, I needed to get my act together. Your father also went into a coma.” She intentionally put on a pitiful act. “The entire family was dependent on your mom for a living. Your sister, Xinxin, in particular, really made me worry a lot. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t give her enough care, but she’s also come to misunderstand me. You’ve always been close to Xinxin. Right now, the Fang Group is facing a financial crisis. I won’t be able to hold on for much longer. Could you help speak up for Mom in front of Xinxin?”

“No.” His refusal was decisive.

Fang Lilan was angered to the point where her chest started to hurt. She was already lowering herself and being generous by speaking to this criminal!

“Shaohua, are you really going to watch as your father’s company closes down?”

The mocking look in Fang Shaohua’s gaze increased. “Look at me right now… I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to help you.”

“Xinxin has always been obedient to you. As long as you tell her nicely, she’ll definitely listen to you. Let’s ask Bai Qinghao to help us.” Fang Lilan spoke somewhat urgently. “Even a little support from Bai Qinghao would be enough for the Fang Group to soar once more!”

The moment she mentioned Bai Qinghao, Fang Shaohua was angered. “Don’t you have any back bone? You’re always relying on the Bai family for survival. Haven’t you woken up after being called a ‘vermin’?”

“I…” Her tears rolled down her cheeks. “Do you think I wish to be scolded? I’m doing all this for your father. I don’t want to stand and watch as his blood, sweat and tears are destroyed.”

“That year, when my father was still in charge, the Fang Group had millions of dollars in its surplus fund. You were the one who depleted that money. You still have the face to mention that the company was his blood, sweat and tears!” Fang Shaohua was enraged. “Quit using my father’s name to cover up your greed. Xinxin’s intentions are clear. Since the Fang Group has become an empty shell, let it go down if it has to. There’s no need to save it. Tossing money out of the window would be a better option than allowing you vermins to continue sucking her blood!”

“You!” Fang Lilan could not keep up her act any longer. Her rage was clearly visible. “What right does a criminal like you have to criticise me?”

“Criminal…” It turned out that he was nothing but a criminal to her.

His complexion turned pale and he smiled. His feelings for her had thoroughly died at this moment. “Good… very good.”

Fang Lilan’s heart did not ache at the sight of his sorrowful smile.

Instead, her gaze shifted onto his car. It was worth more than a hundred thousand dollars. “Is this your car? Mom has been rather tight on money recently. You’re a filial child. Lend this car to me for a while.”
