Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 9 - Fate Can Manifest Itself In Such An Interesting Way (1)

“You are soon going to have two more sisters,” said Fang JunRong to her son Li ShiZe after she put down her chopsticks.

Fang JunRong made the announcement officially over dinner. Li WangJin expressed that both kids listened to her more and asked Fang JunRong to take on the task of announcing the news.

The slight smile on Li WangJin froze on his face. He casted a dubious look in Fang JunRong’s direction and asked, “I thought it was just one?” Who else other than Jiang YaGe? How come he didn’t know about it?

Fang JunRong gave him a perfect smile, cheerfulness radiated from her eyes and brows, and brought up Zhong Yi to him. “That kid is so pitiful. She had no parents to help her out, so I want to help her.” She also briefly talked about Jiang YaGe.

Li ShiZe didn’t care too much about it either way. As far as he was concerned, having two more sisters just meant two more mouths to feed. The thought of the inheritance didn’t even cross his mind. The way he looked at it, his parents would never leave their inheritance to any outsiders.

Li XinYun pouted unhappily. “Are they going to be living with us?” She didn’t like it that way. She felt that her personal space at home had been encroached upon.

Li WangJin frowned. “She works at White Crane”? What kind of a nice girl would work at a place like that?”

There was a hit of distaste in his voice. Obviously ,he looked down upon someone of Zhong Yi’s status, but more so than that, he was disgruntled that his wife wanted to adopt another girl without even running it by him first. For a family like theirs, adopting a child was more than just adding an extra pair of chopsticks. When they get married, they would for sure have to prepare some dowry.

Fang JunRong chuckled to herself; ah, the world’s #1 double standard man, Li WangJin. Didn’t Jiang YaGe work at the same place? In his eyes, she was the goddess who was not corrupted by an environment like that. She was a kind and strong girl. Granted, there was a good chance that he didn’t know all about Jiang YaGe’s past. As it wasn’t something to be proud about, Jiang YaGe most likely did not share with others willy-nilly.

Fang JunRong suddenly looked forward to the day of Jiang YaGe’s arrival.

As much as she was talking sh*t about Li WangJin, she maintained a tender look. “That kid only works there to pay for her grandmother’s medical bill. That’s why I wanted to offer her an opportunity.

“Her story was much sadder than that of Jiang YaGe’s. Since we are already adopting Jiang YaGe, I don’t mind having one more daughter. Besides, I have consulted a master fortune teller. Zhong Yi’s birth date will bring fortune to our family.” Of course she just made up that last part on the spot.

There was more that Li WangJin wanted to add, but after hearing about Jiang YaGe, he compromised – after all, Zhong Yi’s past did sound worse than that of Jiang YaGe’s. He opened his mouth and finally said, “I just don’t want you to be fooled was all. It’s not about the money; I just don’t want you to be hurt emotionally. If you like her so much, let’s take her too. I still don’t trust too much the character of a girl from a place like that. I will for sure observe her closely for a while.”

His mouth was as smooth as it always was. He obviously didn’t want to take in Zhong Yi, but the way he put it, he was just trying to protect Fang JunRong and nothing else. The more time she spent with him, the more she was disgusted by his hypocriticalness.

After that, he shared some stories that he had heard in the business world. They more or less summed up to how some girls from the club were manipulative and became the men’s mistresses. And the more talented ones were able to force away their wives and take their spots.

A few stories later, he was able to label everyone from a place like that as “manipulative” or “money-grubbing”, etc.

Zhong Yi wasn’t even here yet, but judging from the looks on both her son Li ShiZe and her daughter Li XinYun, they’ve already had a poor conception of Zhong Yi. Li WangJin was indirectly faceslapping Fang JunRong, but Fang JunRong wasn’t upset at all.

Oh yeah? Go on. Say some more. Everything that he said now would turn into slaps that would land on Jiang YaGe when the time came.
