Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 25 - You Can Think of Me Like An Older Brother (2)

“How is she doing” He let out a slight sigh. She was, after all, SiEr’s sister. Before she passed away, SiEr missed her the most other than YaGe. He was willing to help her out if she needed any help.

He Ming said to him, “She lives next door to my friend. Things haven’t been going well for her. Words had it that her husband has a lot of debt and cheated on her. She jumped through a lot of hoops to finally divorced him. But she’s quite good looking and single, so she was bullied by the natives a lot.”

Having heard that, Li WangJin got even more worried. He said solemnly, “Give me her address. I will have someone go pick her up.”

For SiEr, perhaps he could keep her sister close to him and look after her some.

He Ming handed Li WangJin a piece of paper.

Li WangJin took the piece of paper from him and added, “Starting today, each of your paintings will go from $50,000 to $60,000.”

His tone was condescending like he was doing him a favor.

“Thank you, Boss Li.”

Li WangJin quickly had someone go and bring Wang SiXian, sister of Wang SiEr back. Country R was only a few hours of plane ride from City S. Li WangJin was able to meet up with Wang SiXian the very next day

Wang SiXian and Wang SiEr, being twins, looked a lot alike. So much that Li WangJin felt that Wang SiEr had risen from the dead when he met her.

When Wang SiXian saw him, tears rolled down her face and she walked up and put her arms around him.

Li WangJin felt slightly embarrassed. His first reaction was wanting to push her away, but when her tears fell on his neck, he felt how hot they were. It was like they had fallen directly onto his heart. He didn’t push her away after all, but patted her gently on her back.

“It’s alright. You are back. I will protect you for your sister.

“You can think of me like an older brother.”

“Thank you. Really, thank you so much.” Wang SiXian breathed into his neck and gave him an odd sensation.

She told him everything that had happened to her over the years and they were truly tear-jerking stories. Coming from her directly, it was so much worse than how He Ming had mentioned them. Wang SiXian’s ex-husband was not only addicted to gambling and cheated on her, there was also domestic violence. So much that she had two miscarriages.

“Why didn’t you get a divorce sooner?” Li WangJin blurted out. When Wang SiXian was crying, she looked exactly like her sister, making it impossible for him to pretend he hadn’t seen it.

Wang SiXian just bit her lower lips and refused to elaborate on it, as though there were something there that she didn’t want to touch upon.

Li WangJin did not pry. He took her to a 3-bedroom house. Lao Suen, the one who drove, has been working for Li WangJin for years. He was very good at keeping secrets, even when it came to keeping them from Fang JunRong. Li WangJin trusted him a lot.

He sat in the backseat with Wang SiXian.

After they arrived at their destination, Wang SiXian dropped her purse when she was getting out of the car. Her wallet fell out and flipped open when it hit the ground. Li WangJin bent over to pick it up for her and saw the pictures inside her wallet.

There was a picture on each side. One of them was young Li WangJin. He was handsome back then in a very intelligent way. He was standing under a tree with his laboratory report in hand.

The other one was Wang SiXian and a man. The man looked similar to Li WangJin.

Wang SiXian quickly took her purse from Li WangJin and looked away, even her neck was flustered. Whether that was from the weather or something else, nobody knew.

“Was that your husband?”

Wang SiXian’s voice was very soft, “….. yes.”

Li WangJin wasn’t an idiot, and he was especially sharp when it came to stuff like this. The two pictures pointed toward one truth…

No wonder. No wonder it had taken her so long to get a divorce.

His speculation made him look at her reflexively, his look complicated.
