Chapter 60 - Justice Where Justice Was Due (1)

"Thank you."

Fang JunRong picked up her wine glass and toasted her friend.

"No problem. I must say I am very impressed." Fang JunRong said she was going to get a divorce and she did, just like that. There was no muddling of things or dragging things out. He JianBing truly found that impressive. She wouldn't have been able to do that herself. Her and her husband's families benefited a lot from their union, so even if there were no more feelings between the two of them, she couldn't just up and leave like that.

She might not be able to do it herself, but she was willing to help her friend out and provide her with the support that she needed. Not to mention the fact that Fang JunRong had given her a heads-up previously and she was able to dodged the bullet of being set up by Wang Xiao. She was always willing to repay her the favor.

***

Fang JunRong was in a pretty good mood after her successful divorce. Those she had planted in the company previously had resigned after transitioning off their work and switched over to her Meifang, a skin-care product company. Naturally, she would treat her people well. Everybody received a 10% raise.

Looking at the assets under her name, Fang JunRong felt that she had never been that wealthy her entire life.

Speaking of, all the real estate properties that they had purchased over the years, including the large mansion that they were currently staying in, had gone to Fang JunRong. Li WangJin and Jiang YaGe should be moving out. She wasn't sure whether Li WangJin had forgotten or that it was intentional, but it had been two days since the divorce and they were showing no signs of getting ready to move out.

As for Li ShiZe, he didn't have that kind of self-awareness at all. After all, in his mind, even though his parents had divorced, they were still his parents. It only made sense that he would continue to stay where he was.

Fang JunRong couldn't be bothered to evict them. It wasn't worth it for her to hurt her bearings for these individuals. Besides, she wasn't all that attached to this house anyway. In her previous life, she was sent to the mental institution from this house whereas Li ShiZe and Jiang YaGe continued to live their happy lives in that grandeur house.

Even though those days were gone, every time she thought about it, it felt like a fish bone that was stuck in her throat. All the servants at the house sided with Li WangJin and the others, especially after the arrival of Jiang YaGe. They had quickly grown fond of Jiang YaGe. Fang JunRong wasn't stupid enough to still keep this batch of employees after her divorce. Naturally, they would all go with Li WangJin.

She told Zhong Yi and moved hers, Zhong Yi's, and her daughter's belongings to a new house. The new house wasn't as big as their mansion, but it was still two-story. More than sufficient for the three of them plus their servants. She quickly hired a new chauffeur, chefs, hourly domestic help, and bodyguards, and she was set. These people were on her payroll and naturally would be loyal to her.

She hired a total of five bodyguards. Being rebirthed, she was very cautious with her life.

Fang JunRong did not acknowledge Jiang YaGe as her daughter, but Zhong Yi was hand picked by her and she acknowledged her. Zhong Yi worried that Fang JunRong would be in a foul mood initially, so she took some time off to keep her company at home. Nonetheless, even a blind person could tell that Fang JunRong had been quite cheerful since the divorce. She seemed like she almost wanted to whistle every day. That made Zhong Yi feel better.

Chapter 61 - Justice Where Justice Was Due (2)

Zhong Yi no longer looks at Jiang YaGe through filters. After finding out about the affair between Jiang YaGe's aunt and Li WangJin, she did not believe that Jiang YaGe was entirely innocent in all this. She had gone from friends to strangers with Jiang YaGe.

By now, Li XinYun, who had been traveling, had returned. Afterall, her birthday was getting close. She received the news of her parents' divorce immediately after her return, and she was stunned.

Even though she preferred her mother to her father and that she had some rough time with her father as of late, that didn't mean she wanted to see her parents divorced.

Seeing her dazed look, Fang JunRong's heart ached as she stroked her daughter on her face. She had no intention of covering up for Li WangJin and told Li XinYun everything. She did not, however, show her the video. There was no need for her to see that.

Li XinYun bit her lip, and there was anger amidst her being dazed still. "How could dad do that? How could he betray you? Why didn't you tell me then?"

After finding out about her father's behaviors, she couldn't bring herself to say that her parents should not have gotten a divorce. She was at the age of thinking about romance fondly, so no way she would find cheating acceptable.

"You were having fun overseas and I didn't want to spoil your mood," said Fang JunRong. Plus, she didn't want Li WangJin to drag this out using XinYun as an excuse. She specifically had those around XinYun take her out at the time. Preferably, she would have so many things to do that she wouldn't even think about what was going on at home.

"What about big brother? What did he say about all this?"

Fang JunRong had no intention to make Li ShiZe appeared better than he actually was in her daughter's mind. She told Li XinYun everything. Besides, she didn't want Li XinYun still has any expectations about her brother.

Li Jinyuan was about to go mad from anger. Li ShiZe was two years her senior and had always been more outstanding and more mature than her. She had always looked up to her brother deep down inside. She hadn't expected that her brother would take Jiang YaGe's side on this matter. Anyone with eyes could see Jiang YaGe couldn't be completely innocent in this.

She bit her bottom lip and said, "Let me go talk to him!"

Then she dashed out like a bullet; her luggage still sitting in the living room.

Fang JunRong had the chauffeur and a bodyguard follow her. She wouldn't let anything happen to her daughter.

Li XinYun returned after three hours. Her eyes looked much puffier than before. She had obviously cried.

Seeing Fang JunRong, Li XinYun pouted and said in a wronged voice, "I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."

Fang JunRong's heart ached, but she also knew that it was necessary to shatter that image that XinYun had for them. They would otherwise use her love for them to take advantage of her.

"You won't need to. You have me."

Li XinYun sniffled and said, "I don't want to see them at my birthday banquet."

"Okay, I will tell them to not come." Fang JunRong was very agreeable.

She spent quite a bit of time with her daughter before she finally left her room when XinYun went to bed.

She said to Zhong Yi, "Why don't you spend some more time with XinYun in the next few days? She had always liked you." Plus, they were close in age and had more in common.

Zhong Yi nodded. "I will."

She was appreciative toward her adopted mother. If it wasn't for her, she would still be working at White Crane and put up with the risks of being groped. And, as she no longer needed to worry about medical fees, her grandmother's situation had stabilized.

In her eyes, her adopted mother was a benefactor to her.

Chapter 62 - Justice Where Justice Was Due (3)

Fang JunRong was finally freed up to ask the chauffeur the details after Li XinYun had gone to talk to the others. According to the chauffeur, XinYun ran into Li ShiZe and Jiang YaGe when she arrived. Their body language was pretty intimate. After Fang JunRong was gone, they no longer had anything else to worry about and acted like lovers normally.

XinYun was infuriated and scolded Jiang YaGe until she was tearful, only to be yelled at by Li ShiZe. She then went to look for Li WangJin at his company only to learn that Li WangJin was helping Jiang YaGe out by contemplating about making her Li ShiZe's assistant.

Naturally, Li XinYun got into a fight with her father. Li WangJin dared not yell at Fang JunRong but not so much in front of his daughter. So Li XinYun was yelled at again.

Fang JunRong's look darkened. Her daughter that she had treasured was not treasured by that father and son duo. In fact, they were dreadful to her. Whatever she'd do to them now would be justified. She must get even with them for her daughter.

She gave the order to slip some information about Jiang YaGe to Wang Xiao and also hired an agent to start the process of putting the mansion onto the market.

She didn't want to live there anymore, but that didn't mean she would let the others continue to stay there. Her best option was to sell it.

***

Jiang YaGe had been studying hard at home these last few days. She was going to be Li ShiZe's assistant during the remaining time of summer vacation. She worried that she would be looked down upon if she wasn't familiar with the work.

She didn't want others to think that she only got the position because she pulled strings, so she thought she'd do some preparation work ahead of time. She should at least know how to work with data and print them out. Li ShiZe, too, stayed home to help bring her up to speed.

Jiang YaGe's occasional looks of admiration stroked his ego very much.

Their relationship had been growing leaps and bounds ever since Li ShiZe had stood up for her in front of his mother. Needless to say, Li ShiZe was perfect in Jiang YaGe's eyes. His look was one in a million. He was competent and successful. And, most importantly, he was willing to stand up and defend her when necessary, not the kind of mommy's boys that she has always heard of from her friends.

In order to show her appreciation for Li ShiZe, Jiang YaGe decided to show him her best side – cooking a good dinner for both her adopted father and Li ShiZe.

Even though Li WangJin was still very upset about the piece of land over at Beihu District, when Jiang YaGe called him with her voice filled with anticipation, he had no heart to turn her down. Not only did he go home early, he even brought with him a few bottles of expensive red wines.

Jiang YaGe tried to make western food that night. When she was working at the club, she would sometimes take cooking lessons from the chefs. She was going to make venison with mushroom and berries dish. Dessert would be rum baba.

Li ShiZe was used to cooking of professional chefs. As talented as Jiang YaGe might be, she still didn't measure up to a professional. Li ShiZe, nonetheless, praised how dexterous she was. His praising words put stars in her eyes.

Chapter 63 - Justice Where Justice Was Due (4)

Li WangJin, on the other hand, noticed that the cooking style was that of the executive chef of White Crane. He had it a few times and recognized it as such. The smile on him lessened.

His voice was calm. "I don't like this dish very much. Don't make it too often in the future." He didn't like all the ties that she had with the club.

Jiang YaGe paused for a second and had a hurtful look on her.

Normally, Jiang YaGe only has this look when she is around others. Back then, Li WangJin always felt that she had been wronged and would stand up for her. Now that she was using it on him, that made him somewhat unhappy. Hasn't he been nice enough to her?

Jiang YaGe only did that reflexively. When she noticed the look on Li WangJin, she immediately tried to patch things up. "I guess this is not your type of food. I will change. It's my fault. I should have consulted with you beforehand."

Her voice was soft and she had brought herself down to a very low position. Li WangJin's displeasure was immediately blown away like there was a breeze. Immediately, the atmosphere returned to warm and pleasant.

Unfortunately, a warmth scene like that was meant to be disturbed. The security informed Li WangJin through the intercom that the buyers were here to look at the house.

Li WangJin was baffled. "What buyers?"

As baffled as he was, he had always been conscious of his reputation to the public, so he let them in nonetheless. He was surprised when he saw the people who walked in. The visitors were Boss Zhao in the timber business and his wife. They have met before. Deep down inside, Li WangJin looked down upon nouveau riche such as Boss Zhao.

Putting on a perfect smile, he asked, "What brought you here to look at the house, Boss Zhao. Are you thinking about purchasing something similar?"

By now, he had completely forgotten that this mansion technically belonged to Fang JunRong, and none of them were entitled to remain here anymore.

Boss Zhao looked around and looked pleased. "No, I am here to look at this mansion. I plan to buy it."

Li WangJin frowned, and his voice chilled a little. "I am sorry. We are very happy with this mansion and have no intention to sell it."

Boss Zhao smiled at him. There was a certain profoundness in his smile. "But from what I have heard, this mansion now belongs to your ex-wife, Boss Fang. I heard that the two of you had divorced. I didn't think you'd still be staying here." He paused for a second and carried on. "I caught wind in our circle that Boss Fang intends to sell this house. Is it Boss Li's intention to buy it from her? I heard it was a bit on the pricey end, but if that's your intention, then it'd be wrong for me to fight you over it."

Of course, Li WangJin couldn't possibly buy this. He had pretty much handed over all his liquid capital over to Fang JunRong. He had at most 10 million yuan that was fluid right now. He had no choice but to say, "We will be moving shortly."

Having the fact that the house belonged to Fang JunRong pointed out to him was especially embarrassing. Particularly when Boss Zhao gave him the he was leeching-off-of-his-ex-wife look.

Boss Zhao's wife toured the place and rejoined him. She asked "How long would it take you to move out? Is one day enough?"

Fang JunRong had told them that the sooner they move in, the bigger the discount she'd give them. As rich as they may be, a mansion like this cost upward of hundreds of million yuan. Any savings would be significant.

Li WangJin was so angry that his face turned a green hue. They couldn't wait to kick him out, as though he was nothing but trash. That hurt his ego deeply.

"Not even that. We will move right now," said Li WangJin coldly.
