Chapter 139: The Storeroom Xinxin Lived In (2)
Fang Lilan had seen this coming. Fang Xinxin had complained to Bai Qinghao yesterday and claimed that she had lived in the storeroom for seven years. The matter was not settled at the time and there was a chance that Bai Qinghao would ask to look at the storeroom.
As expected, she was right.
He really wanted to take a look.
If he saw the original appearance of the room Fang Xinxin had used, wouldn’t the Fang family be doomed?
They had renovated the storeroom and made use of the opportunity to deliver Fang Xinxin a big blow. This way, Bai Qinghao would perceive Fang Xinxin to be a lying vixen.
Who knew? Perhaps now, he would change his mind about helping the Fang family.
Fang Lilan gestured toward the interior of the room. “CEO Bai, look at the environment here. The Fang home doesn’t have any elevators. Our Xinxin was the one who was too lazy to climb the stairs. Hence, I arranged for her to stay here. As you can see, it isn’t uncomfortable to live here.”
Long Shuhai secretly gave Fang Lilan a thumbs-up.
She really had the foresight, and was able to predict Bai Qinghao’s intentions.
Thankfully, they had renovated this room earlier.
Fang Xinxin was curious as to how Bai Qinghao would respond now.
He immediately gave Liu Li a look. “Check it.”
“Yes, sir.” Liu Li immediately scanned the room thoroughly and returned to report his findings.
“Boss, there are no signs of wear and tear on the door. It is obvious that they have installed a new one. The glue on the wallpaper is still wet. The window frame also carries the faint scent of fresh paint. Moreover, the paint is yet to dry completely. It’s clear that the room was renovated last night.”
One of the bodyguards standing behind Bai Qinghao also chipped in. “Boss, I was on duty last night. I discovered several construction workers quietly renovating the room through the night.”
Originally, they were not busybodies who would pay attention to the Fang family’s internal business.
However, since their boss was asking, they would inform him accordingly.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Fang Manxue’s forehead.
Last night, wasn’t there only a single bodyguard who was awake and guarding outside Bai Qinghao’s room? Weren’t the rest of them asleep?
They must have been hiding. To think that the Fang family’s helpers had been thoroughly fooled by them.
She wondered if Li Bingpan had reported her mistake to Bai Qinghao?
If she said she did not enter his room, but was actually seen by the bodyguards, wouldn’t she be in trouble?
Thankfully, they had agreed to say she entered the room but left soon after retrieving her things.
Liu Li returned to stand behind Bai Qinghao respectfully after giving his report.
It was not his intention to help Fang Xinxin reveal the Fang family’s lies. He had only spoken truthfully.
Even though they were exposed, Fang Lilan did not falter. “CEO Bai, I admit that I had the room renovated overnight because I was worried that you would be angry. But the truth is that this room was only slightly shabby. But it was as comfortable to live in as now.”
In any case, Bai Qinghao could not see the way the storeroom used to be. By making light of the situation, she could still cover up this matter.
“Fang Xinxin, describe it yourself. What was this storeroom like when you lived here?” Bai Qinghao’s frigid gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin.
“I’m poor at speaking. I’m not sure how to describe it.” Fang Xinxin shrugged.
Fang Lilan smiled. “CEO Bai, how different could a storeroom be? It was slightly worn down than the way it appears now. There really aren’t any major differences that would have affected her residing here...”
Fang Xinxin used to be soft-hearted earlier. However, right now, she absolutely would not allow herself to be on the losing end.
She brought her old-looking phone out and turned it on.
Although the video of her second sister bribing Li Bingpan was lost, the old videos that she had captured were still there.
She selected one of those which displayed the storeroom. “Why don’t you take a look at it yourself?”
