Chapter 162 - She Only Had One Thought. Exactly How Much Did Li WangJin Pay these People? (1)

Bai Shiyuan never liked Fang JunRong all that much. She was too unbridled of a life.

For the past 20 years, Li WangJin had been establishing his nice-man image. He never had an affair. He was very respectful to Fang JunRong, always. Comparing to her own husband who was having affairs left and right, it only made sense that Bai Shiyuan was not a fan of Fang JunRong.

When the words of Li WangJin's affair broke, Bai Shiyuan didn't even have a chance to mock Fang JunRong before Fang JunRong had already took off with half of their assets. Her days were even more unrestrained than before. Not to mention the young and handsome little fresh meat by her side with his 6-pack. Her company was going up and up and making a reputation for itself.

In comparison, she made all of the others' lives seemed bitter. In the past, she'd at least have a few friends over the mahjong table to gripe about Fang JunRong with her. As it turned out, all of them, upon using the Beautify Pills, had switched sizes. Sun Mei, was the worse of them all. Sun Mei used to look up to look to her but now she was busy hugging Fang JunRong's thigh and that made Bai Shiyuan even more upset.

She certainly regretted that Fang JunRong had subsequently found out what she had said about her. The Beautify Pills, after all, were very effective. So much that Bai Shiyuan decided to put aside their differences and invite Fang JunRong over as a way to make up to her. As it turned out, Fang JunRong didn't care about her at all and responded to none of her invitations. That upset Bai Shyuan even more. When she finally ran into Fang JunRong, it was like running into an enemy and she couldn't help but made some snide comments.

Naturally, Bai Shiyuan acted that way because she was confident of herself. Geng Yuan was injured when he was younger and had only one son. His son passed away early and let him with only one grandson, who was a bit on the fragile side. Geng Yuan was extremely fond of this grandson. After finding out that this grandson had poor circulations and his hands and feet were always cold in the winter time, Bai Shiyuan went out of her way to get her hands on a piece of warm jade. It was warm when it was worn on a body and also good for one's health.

When she had it delivered, Geng Yuan's grandson liked it a lot and immediately put it on. Geng Yuan, naturally, was very friendly toward her immediately. That had given her a big head. As such, she felt very confident when she was picking on Fang JunRong. She hadn't expected that Fang JunRong would bring up the Cherry Blossom Pills right away and embarrassed her in front of everyone.

She had given a lot of them away as gifts and, after those people had used the product and had problems with their gas, they all complained to her about their gifts.

Her face darkened. Nevertheless, when she caught sight of Geng Yi, Geng Yuan's grandson, something seemed to have occurred to her and she said, "Nobodies like us certainly could not measure up to Boss Fang.

"I trust that Boss Fang must brought with her some amazing gift. Why don't you share with the rest of us what it is?"

She didn't believe that Fang JunRong would be able to bring with her a better gift than hers.

Geng Yuan frowned a little. He had always believed in maintaining low key and was not a big fan of arrogance like that of Bai Shiyuan's, especially when it was obvious that she was acting the way that she was because she trusted that he'd stand behind her. If it wasn't for the jade that she had gifted his grandson, he would not want to have anything to do with her.

He was just about to smooth the situation out some when he heard Fang JunRong saying, "Oh, nothing too impressive. Just a piece common piece of jadeite is all."

Geng Yuan sighed to himself: The younger generations nowadays. Each of them was more arrogant than the last.

Bai Shiyuan was ecstatic. This couldn't have worked out any better for her. Even the heaven was siding with her.

Fang JunRong looked over at Geng Yuan. "Do you mind if I just unwrap the gift now, Old Mr. Geng?"

Geng Yuan sighed again. "Sure."

Fang JunRong undid the ribbon slowly. The box was opened and the jadeite was there for all to see.

Under the light, the rich green color was breathtaking. There seemed to be light flowing inside of it and many who were there were mesmerized.

Many were shocked. A jadeite this color could easily cost upward of ten million yuan. This Fang JunRong was so generous. With the translucence of this jadeite, any other person who have kept it for themselves to make a piece of jewelry out of it. Fang JunRong, on the other hand, gave it away as a gift.

Bai Shiyuan's confident look stiffened. She comforted herself: As pretty and as expensive as this one was, could it measure up to her warm jade? The one that she had given go Geng Yi would be beneficial to his health when worn.

Geng Yuan liked the jadeite a lot as well. Even though he owned his own jade mine overseas, but a piece of this quality could only be encountered by chance. They were popping up more and more infrequently as of late.

With a slight smile on him, he took the jadeite over. When he touched it, his eyes widened from shock.

Wait, there was something going on with this piece of jadeite...

Jadeite is normally cold to the touch. Yet, this piece of jadeite felt warm to the touch, much like a warm jade. Having it in his hand, he even felt less tired than he was just a moment ago.

He looked at Geng Yi, his grandson, lovingly and said to him, "Yi, come over here."

His grandson was already 12 years old this year and he looked only around 10 years old from his appearance. Blinking his eyes, he walked over to his grandfather and took the jadeite from him.

"Eh?" He let out a happy cry and then placed the piece of jadeite against his cheek and rubbed up against it. He squinted like a kitten under the sun.

"Grandpa, I like this one." Geng Yi's voice was very crisp. He was well protected by his grandfather and still has a naïve and straightforward personality.

This was it! The jade was a bit on the heavy side and started to weight down on him after carrying it around for a bit, especially when he was already wearing one on top of that.

He quickly weighted his options, fished out the piece that was given to him earlier by Bai Shiyuan, casually handed it over to a servant waited nearby, and carefully placed the piece given to him by Fang JunRong into his pocket.

He gave Fang JunRong a sweet smile and said, "Thank you, big sister."

Fang JunRong looked to be in her twenties to him, so big sister seemed appropriate.

Bai Shiyuan was stunned. Never in a million years would she had expected that the warm jade she was picked out oh so carefully would be abandoned just like that, especially when Geng Yi straight up replaced hers with the one from Fang JunRong so carefully. In contrast, it was like announcing that hers was nothing but garbage.

What's worse was that Geng Yi had addressed to her as aunty earlier but he addressed Fang JunRong as big sister.

Her face started to burn as though she had been faceslapped repeatedly. She felt that many were looking at her, mocking her. That made her extremely uncomfortable.

Her lips moved. She was angry, embarrassed, at loss, etc.

Had she known, she shouldn't have picked on Fang JunRong. Fang JunRong was poisonous. Every time something had to do with Fang JunRong, she had never won the upper hand.

Geng Yuan straight up said, "This was the best gift that I have received today. Thank you so much."

Had Fang JunRong had any personal ask of him later on, as long as it wasn't too far fetch, he would for sure willing to grant her her wish. His grandson was very important to him and Fang JunRong's gift could not have been better.

Blow after blow later, Bai Shiyuan was very dispirited. Her eyes had lost focus but she refused to leave just to keep up the pretense.

At least, her gift was quite good too, just wasn't as good as Fang JunRong.

She quickly found a corner where she could stay in. She was no longer arrogant like she was just half an hour ago. Like a cock who had been defeated, she could no longer held her head up high.

***

In the time that followed, Geng Yuan did not overlook Fang JunRong even when he was interacting with his other guests. He even praised her date, Jiang DeXian, and said that he was very good looking and surely much more handsome than Li WangJin.

Fang JunRong agreed with him wholeheartedly. She could no longer recall what Li WangJin looked like when he was young.

Many others walked up to chat with Fang JunRong. Those like Bai Shiyuan was, after all, an exception to the rule. Being able to have their accomplishments today, most of these guests were not stupid. Fang JunRong was on the up and up, nobody would want to offend her now.

The banquet carried on lively and Fang JunRong, after eating a little, gave Geng Yuan a heads up and wandered into the garden.

Geng Yuan's garden was designed by professionals. There were mountains and water and unspeakably delicate and luxurious. The winding corridor, in particular, was an art form in and of itself that didn't come by easily.

It was a very different feeling to appreciate this garden at night.

Learning from her past lesson, she brought her jacket with her this time. It wasn't too cold with her jacket on. Most of the guests were inside the lobby and the garden seemed particularly serene with their footsteps being the only sound that could be heard.

Her irritation from earlier was beginning to quell.

When she was married to Li WangJin, she had attended banquets less and less. Many thought that was because of Li WangJin when, in reality, she just wasn't the type who enjoyed the scene.

After her rebirth, she started attending more of these banquets. She had a lot of respect for He JianBing in this respect. He JianBing always seemed comfortable and articulate in situations like these.

After walking for a little while, she planned to sit down for a little break. She appreciated the manmade mountain and rock from a distance as well as a pond next to them. The pond was sizeable and looked very clear.

She pondered having one like this built for herself as well so she could walk around one from time to time.

After resting for a little while and, just when she was about to get up, she heard someone talking.

"Truth be told, I am quite envious of Fang JunRong. She is a good role model for women, always one to be envied whether it was before or after her divorce."

Fang JunRong rubbed her nose. They just happened to be talking about her? That was too much of a coincidence. She wouldn't buy that this was just a coincidence. She continued to listen in on the conversation.

"Right? She was not like us at all. Just look at that Li WangJin. He regrets now and really wants to get back with her."

"Are you sure about that? I thought Li WangJin is still with that mistress of his."

"Your news is so outdated. I heard that Li WangJin had already kicked that tramp out of his house and he drinks all the time now. He even said privately that if only Fang JunRong is willing to get back with him, he's willing to transfer all of his assets over to her. How many men would say such a thing? I think he's truly remorseful now."

"That's good. He has learned of his mistakes and is willing to make amends. The two of them have two children together. They should get back together just for the children's sake. It's always better for the kids to have a complete family."

Hearing those words that entirely sided with Li WangJin, Fang JunRong only wanted to sneer. The only thought in her head right now was exactly how much did Li WangJin paid these two?

It looked like his debtors were not doing a very good job at collecting their debts.
