Chapter 626: Hypnotise
Bai Jingrou suddenly appeared by his side. She smiled and greeted him. “Uncle De, where are you headed to?”
“I have something to report to the Elder.”
“It must be about the red packets that I gave Miss Fang earlier, isn’t it?” She asked him directly.
Bai Mingde understood that Bai Chenxi had noticed him earlier. He did not conceal it. “Indeed.”
Bai Jingrou spoke in an upset manner. “I’m sure you could tell as well, but Miss Fang doesn’t seem very happy with me. She actually said that I was trying to swap her red packets with mine. I’m the only granddaughter from the Long Group. How could I possibly do such a thing? Look, when my grandfather, Director Long, gives me pocket money, he generally offers two million dollars at a go.”
She then showed him the message she received from the bank earlier. “Fang Xinxin is intentionally trying to attack me. Please don’t believe in her words. Could you put in a good word on my behalf when speaking to Grandfather Bai?”
Bai Mingde scanned the message and saw that the Long Group had truly sent her two million dollars. “How does Miss Bai wish for me to do so?”
“Tell him that…” Bai Jingrou thought about it. “Tell him that I picked up Miss Fang’s red packets with good intentions, but she intentionally framed me and claimed that I was trying to replace her red packets.”
Bai Mingde was astonished. “Miss Bai, that was not the case. It’s inappropriate for you to do so.”
“I also had no intention of replacing her red packets. Do you think it’s appropriate for her to frame me?” Bai Jingrou stepped closer to him and secretly stuffed a cheque into his hands. “This is an expression of my sincerity. I hope you will help me.”
Bai Mingde glanced at the cheque. It was for sixty thousand dollars.
She sure was generous.
He handed the cheque back to her. “Miss Fang is to become Madam Bai with certainty. I have spent my whole life working for the Bai family. If I make up lies about her, I will be chased out of the Bai home. I cannot accept your money. Besides, no matter who this issue is about, as a butler, I cannot be dishonest.”
“It’s fine if you won’t do it. Keep the money with you…”
“I cannot.” Bai Mingde forcefully pressed the cheque back into her hands. “If you insist any further, please do not blame me for telling the Elder that you attempted to bribe me into giving him a false report.”
Bai Jingrou could only take the cheque back. She gritted her teeth. “In that case, you insist upon reporting the earlier matter truthfully to Grandfather Bai?”
“Indeed. Although you are the great Director Long’s granddaughter, it is one thing that he has given you money. It is completely irrelevant to the matter of yours and Fang Xinxin’s red packets.” Bai Mingde responded professionally. “I trust that the Elder can form his own judgements after learning the truth.”
“Is that so?” Bai Jingrou’s gaze suddenly turned cold. As though in response, Bai Mingde’s eyes turned blank.
“Earlier, Bai Jingrou accidentally dropped Fang Xinxin’s red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Fang Xinxin.” Bai Jingrou spoke slowly.
Bai Mingde repeated mechanically. “Earlier, Bai Jingrou accidentally dropped Fang Xinxin’s red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Fang Xinxin.”
Bai Jingrou repeated this several times until a strong impression was formed in Bai Mingde’s mind. She then smirked in satisfaction. “Go on.”
Bai Mingde then headed for the mansion.
She had initially planned on making Bai Mingde insist Fang Xinxin had framed her for swapping their red packets.
However, she realised that it was difficult to make this matter look convincing given that there was only twenty dollars in each of her red packets.
