Reborn as a Tough Army Wife
Chapter 665 - 660: Poisonous Scheme
CHAPTER 665: CHAPTER 660: POISONOUS SCHEME
Bai Jing’s face lit up with an unfathomable smile upon hearing this.
She had originally thought that Fang Xiu was merely a simple divorced woman, who was abandoned by Luo Zhiming because of his philandering nature, and that her son was definitely Luo Zhiming’s.
But she hadn’t anticipated that Fang Xiu would have such a promiscuous side; this made her truly eager to see how this drama would unfold.
Just to be safe, she confirmed again with Xu He, "The child you mentioned for the test is Fang Xiu’s son, right? You mean to say Fang Xiu was involved with another man before she got divorced, correct?"
Xu He immediately nodded in response, "Yes, that child. Fang Xiu, I heard, lived with a man in the city for a month or so; after returning, she had this child. No one can be sure who the father is, but now Luo Zhiming treats him as his own son, completely ignoring me."
With this information, Bai Jing felt that the result of the test was irrelevant, but the drama was thrilling and she was more than willing to help and eager to see Xu He perform further.
This equated to Xu He’s enemy being Fang Xiu, and Bai Jing’s enemy also being Fang Xiu. If Xu He could deal with Fang Xiu, it would definitely be a good thing for her, thus she readily agreed, "Alright then, you decide on the time, let me know, and I’ll take care of it."
Xu He nodded, but then remembered something else and hesitantly said to Bai Jing, "Only, Sister Bai, I know that testing that thing costs quite a bit of money, and I don’t have that much, plus I don’t really want to test it. Could we possibly not do the test and just get a lab report from the hospital? Luo Zhiming will definitely believe it if he sees the report."
Bai Jing gave Xu He a look; Xu He was still as stingy and liked taking small advantages, but such a person was the easiest to use. She smirked and said, "Okay, I’ll figure something out."
But after a brief pause, Bai Jing thought of an even better idea. She looked around and reminded Xu He, "However, Xu He, if I were you, I definitely wouldn’t let Fang Xiu off that easily."
"What do you mean?" Xu He was somewhat confused.
Bai Jing offered a suggestion, "To really make Luo Zhiming give up, besides proving that the child is not his, it would be best if a man came forward to claim the child. Then Luo Zhiming would be even more convinced."
In truth, what Bai Jing was really hoping for was to find that man, and then have him pester Fang Xiu, which would likely unravel Fang Xiu’s relationship with Zhou Guangsheng.
Xu He thought Bai Jing’s idea was good, but she was troubled, "I’d like to, but I don’t know much about Fang Xiu’s past affairs, and I don’t know who that man is."
Hearing this, Bai Jing didn’t say more, only replying, "Well... let’s just do as you suggested."
After discussing this matter, Xu He returned.
However, Bai Jing had no intentions of letting Fang Xiu off so easily.
Xu He might not know who the man was, but as long as Fang Xiu had been involved with a man, Bai Jing just needed to spend some money to find out; she wanted to discover how wild Fang Xiu’s past life was that even the paternity of her child was uncertain.
Once she found out, she wanted to see if Zhou Guangsheng would still accept such a Fang Xiu, and even if Zhou Guangsheng could accept her, would Zhou’s parents be able to accept her?
Anyway, Bai Jing herself couldn’t find happiness, and she disliked seeing others happy, especially the Fang sisters.
At this stage, as long as she could break apart Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu, she would spare no effort; then it would be Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying’s turn, she wouldn’t let off anyone.
Bai Jing ended up in her current situation, all thanks to Fang Pingying.
If at first, Pingying had not married Zhiyong, or if Xiu had not married Guangsheng, she wouldn’t have ended up where she is today.
Carrying a child called an illegitimate, abandoned by a man, she has experienced the most tragic things a woman can endure.
However, Bai Jing was too arrogant. While she was clever, it doesn’t mean that others were fools. It’s quite possible that the trap she dug herself would eventually bury her own self.
After discussing with Bai Jing, Xu He picked a day when Luo Zhiming was not working and suddenly said to him, "Zhiming, let’s go visit dad today. I’ve been here so long and haven’t seen him yet."
Xu He chose to go because the weather was nice, thinking she might bump into Haohao at home and if she did, she could implement her plan.
But whether Xu He is a filial person, Luo Zhiming certainly knew. When Xu He mentioned visiting Luo Dashan several times, he suspected she had an ulterior motive.
He asked with some suspicion, "Do you really plan to visit my dad?"
"What else do you think I could be doing there?"
After thinking it over and not coming up with any schemes from Xu He, he agreed, "Okay, let’s go today."
Xu He indeed picked the right day. Though Li Yuchun wasn’t home when she and Luo Zhiming arrived, Luo Honglan was there with Haohao, Yaoyao, and Ruirui playing at Luo Dashan’s place.
As Luo Dashan missed the children, Luo Honglan would find a free day every week to bring the little ones to see him.
When Luo Zhiming and Xu He arrived at Luo Dashan’s place, both Luo Dashan and Luo Honglan were stunned; although they knew Xu He had come to the city, they never expected her to visit them.
Luo Honglan, already quite annoyed with Xu He, said to Luo Dashan immediately upon seeing her, "Dad, I’m going to take them back home. You chat with them."
After saying that, she took the children and was about to leave.
But as Luo Honglan and the group reached the door, Xu He suddenly blocked it, and then bent down to closely look at the little ones.
She quickly identified which one was Haohao, but she first reached out and touched Yaoyao’s and Ruirui’s cheeks, saying with a smile, "So these are big brother’s twins, how adorable. I hope by the Luo family’s good fortune, I can have a smart child too."
Yaoyao, having never met Xu He and seeing her smiles, sweetly called, "Auntie."
As Yaoyao called out, Ruirui and Haohao followed suit.
Xu He responded to each, then turned her gaze to Haohao’s face and feigned ignorance as she asked, "And this is?"
Before the adults could answer, Haohao immediately said cheerfully to Xu He, "Auntie, my name is Haohao."
Afterward, because Luo Zhiming often bought him treats and toys recently—things that his mom and grandma would not usually let him have—he liked Luo Zhiming and went over to hug his legs affectionately calling him, "Uncle."
Looking at Haohao, Luo Zhiming didn’t embrace him as warmly as usual; still considering it best not to let Xu He know the relationship between Haohao and himself, he pretended to be unfamiliar with Haohao.
