Just like he had told her, unlike his usual self, Zhang ZhiSu started hosting banquets frequently in the period of time that followed.

As a frequent guest of his in the past, Fang JunRong had not attended any of them and the two of them seemed to have a big fallout. Someone even shared that he had seen Fang JunRong and Zhang ZhiSu meeting once and the two parted ways unhappily with Zhang ZhiSu walking away with a long face.

She seriously suspected that Zhang ZhiSu was the one who was responsible for that rumor.

Fang JunRong wasn’t s surprised by that at all.

“They are probably gunning at you because you hold both the Detoxification Pills and White Jade Cream. Those are the items that can truly threaten Zhang Bi’s family.” Especially the White Jade Cream. Who would still pay tens of thousands of yuan for a bottle of medicine from the Zhang’s when they could just buy the White Jade Cream?

Fang JunRong had an odd look on her. “Do they not know that I have already donated the formula for the two medications?”

Fang JunRong was mostly joking when she said to have him add another zero. She was quite surprised that Zhang ZhiYang really agreed to that amount. Did he have more money than he knew what to do with?

Looking at Jiang DeXian standing in front of her, she pondered for a little bit and said, “Well, then you might as well accept it as a bonus.”

“Well, what is your answer?”

Sitting in front of Jiang DeXian, as much Zhang ZhiYang tried to make himself seem more personable, but his temperament of feeling he was above him Jiang DeXian shone through him nonetheless.

Hidden in his eyes were some distaste and contempt. A man like Jiang DeXian, who was good at nothing except for his good looks, was somehow favored by Fang JunRong and brought him with her wherever she went.

“I am going to have to turn it down. I’m just an 18th tier actor. I’m not good enough for a production of this size,” said Jiang DeXian coldly.

The agent was shocked beyond words. “Wait a minute…”

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Jiang DeXian’s mind was made up. He had no intention of changing his mind.

Stories about Li ShiZe spread within their circle. His not-so-good reputation completely hit rock bottom. Many talked in private how toxic of a person Jiang YaGe was and how she had turned someone with a bright future like Li ShiZe to what he had become today. From where Fang JunRong stood, the two of them were about the same. Match made in heaven, almost. There was no need to say which one of them was too good for the other.

Fang JunRong finally learned that let it be in reality or in her dream, Li WangJin’s fate was still a stroke from Jiang YaGe.

She watched as Li ShiZe went looking for Jiang YaGe with a look of grievance after taking Li WangJin to the hospital.

Waking up, Fang JunRong noticed that she had slept for a full 9 hours. No wonder she felt so refreshed!

After a little while, she asked softly, “Do you think he will break up with Jiang YaGe?”

Fang JunRong, after remaining silent for a few seconds, said, “No.”

“Huh?”

Li XinYun was shocked. The two of them wouldn’t break up even after what had happened? Wouldn’t seeing Jiang YaGe day in and day out remind Li ShiZe of the their father’s final moment? She felt that she couldn’t understand Li ShiZe anymore.

Fang JunRong felt that had Li WangJin lived for a few more years. More likely than not he would have altered his will again. Yesterday was a special circumstance. He wanted to woo XinYun over onto his side so he had the lawyer and witness came over and set up his will. Except that Li ShiZe had driven him to his grave before he could alter it again.

From a certain perspective, Li ShiZe had screwed himself over.

Li ShiZe was drowned by his own fear. Ever since Li WangJin had been taken into the ICU, he had been panicking, worried that something bad would happen to his father.

He didn’t mean for that to happen. He really didn’t realize that his father’s condition was so dire.

Hearing the doctor’s announcement, he had lost his ability to think. He ran up to the doctor, hoping that the doctor could, somehow, bring his father back.

“Dad, how can you be so unreasonable?”

Li ShiZe, too, was upset. “Yage came to visit you and all you did was to hurt her. You are no longer that heroic father of mine anymore.”

He could feel how hard his Jiang YaGe was clutching onto his sleeve and felt that he must protect his fragile girlfriend.

His eyes widened and almost popped out of his sockets. His breathing became labored. “Why did you bring Jiang YaGe with you? Are you trying to kill me?”

Jiang YaGe looked a lot like her mother when her mother was young. And she was almost at the exact age when Wang SiEr had cheated Li WangJin. Looking at Jiang YaGe was like bringing him back to those days and the new and old hatred all came rushing to him.

Li ShiZe, too, had found out what had happened to his father while Li WangJin was staying at the hospital.

He hadn’t expected what Jiang YaGe’s mother had done such a thing in the past and dragged Jiang YaGe in as collateral damage. Nevertheless, she had already passed away and Jiang YaGe had been crying nonstop, he didn’t want to speak poorly of his late mother-in-law.

She did not hide anything from Li XinYun. In fact, she even told her the entire story of how he ended up in the hospital, sparing no details. He wasn’t worth it for her to hide anything for him. After all, in her previous life, he was able to just stand by when his daughter was killed and still kept on spoiling Jiang YaGe rotten.

She couldn’t summon up a shred of compassion when she recalled all those. This lifetime, however, Li XinYun, without experiencing all those, might not hate Li WangJin as much as she did.

She had given some thought to why the sudden change within the jadeite dimension. It seemed to have happened after Zhang ZhiSu had informed her that the White Jade Cream had been launched?

She pondered over it. If she went off of some television shows that she had watched before, these might be a reward for her good deeds?

Fang JunRong was in a good mood.

She had met up with Zhang ZhiSu today and learned that both the White Jade Cream and Detoxification Pills had made it through clinical trials and into production. The first batch of White Jade Cream produced had already reached the hands of elderly veterans injured in the wars.

“It’s you, Young Master.”

Li WangJin was the oldest at home and Uncle Wang had always referred to him as Young Master.

“Uncle Wang,” said Li WangJin in a low voice. “I’m here to visit my mom and dad.” Li WangJin was still respectful toward this man who had watched him grown up.

His cellphone rang. He checked the name that appeared on the screen and hung it up directly. It was another collection call.

Nobody was willing to loan him money any more and JunRong refused to get back together with him to give him a second chance. As for his son Li ShiZe, he’d be lucky if he didn’t ask him for money, let alone the other way round.

“I apologize, Old Mr. Geng, for causing a scene at your birthday banquet.”

Fang JunRong stayed behind after the banquet was over to apologize to Old Mr. Geng. Even though the couple didn’t make too much of a scene in front of Old Mr. Geng and could only hold back their anger but, at the end of the day, they have still increased the disharmony at the banquet.

Pushing aside his dance partner, he asked with what he thought was a very gentlemanly smile, “Care to dance, JunRong?”

He was more than happy to dance with a woman as attractive as Fang JunRong.

His waxy look, however, disgusted Fang JunRong. Naturally, she would not want to dance with him. Smiling slightly, she said, “No, my feet hurt from my walk earlier. I don’t think i want to dance.”
