Chapter 162: Faking Illness
Fu Bing was not surprised by this answer.
Under the temptation of great profit, who could maintain their principles and remain uninfluenced?
To guard against Lai Shenlan’s potential counterattack, the Lai Family had medicated her to limit her physical abilities and kept her under house arrest for six years. It wasn’t surprising that they had committed other acts as well.
"I find I can’t understand the Lai Family and the Qin Family," Fu Bing mused. "If they simply focused on proper development, utilizing the connections and talent within their clans, they could easily revitalize their families. With their families thriving for generations, why would they need to worry about individual interests not being met?"
Wu Shi looked at her intently and reminded her, "Normal people can’t understand the thoughts of madmen. They’ll probably come looking for you in a couple of days and use public opinion to pressure you."
"Simple. After tonight, I’ll pretend to be sick." A cunning glint flashed in Fu Bing’s eyes. "When it comes to acting, no one can outperform me yet."
Wu Shi instantly understood why she had suddenly made such a grand affair of the party.
Fu Bing greeted the lively crowd, then spoke to Xiaomei and Yang Ningzheng.
"I’m not feeling well, so I’ll go upstairs to rest. Please help me entertain our guests."
Yang Ningzheng noticed her pale complexion and asked, "Should we call a doctor?"
"Doctors are the last thing we lack here. Don’t worry about me; I know what I’m doing."
Yang Ningzheng remained concerned.
