Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law-Chapter 8: How Happy It Is To Be A Generous Person With Someone Else’s Money (3)
Chapter 8 - How Happy It Is To Be A Generous Person With Someone Else’s Money (3)
In her previous life, Jiang YaGe was able to use the Li’s resources and doled them out to Zhong Yi like she was a charity case. And so, when the two of them had a falling out, public opinion sided with Jiang YaGe and criticized Zhong Yi as the white-eyed wolf, and the topic of “the entire world owes me a girlfriend like Jiang YaGe” was further pushed into the top trending list.
So what would happen if both of them could stand side by side as peers this time around? And, whose side would her bbq-pork son* be on when he suddenly gained two sisters, both with a woeful past?
* (T/N: An unofficial Chinese saying. Usually when a mother is mad at the son she’d say to him, “I should have given birth to a slab of bbq pork instead of you.”)
Zhong Yi felt like she had just won the lottery, and she couldn’t even focus her eyes. It was after a long while before she was able to say with a stutter, “Do you mean it?”
Fang JunRong smiled and said, “Of course. Here’s my business card. If you like the idea, come and talk to me next weekend. That ought to give you a week’s time to think it over.”
She fished out one of her business cards and handed it over to Zhong Yi. She skipped giving a business card to Jiang YaGe, who was also standing next to her.
She left with Xu WeiWei at a leisurely pace after giving Zhong Yi her business card.
After they had left, Xu WeiWei asked, “What made you want to have an adopted daughter out of the blue?”
“It’d be a nice thing to do,” replied Fang JunRong nonchalantly.
She’d extend the olive branch to Zhong Yi, and it’s up to her whether or not to make good use of the opportunity.
Xu WeiWei shook her head. “You don’t look like someone who likes to randomly adopt someone.” With her status, she’d have unlimited options for an adopted daughter if she spread the words that she was looking for one.
Fang JunRong said, “Nothing much. I just felt that it might not be a bad thing to have one more person to split the pie that’s Li WangJin’s inheritance, since he enjoys being a nice guy so much.” Then, after a slight hesitation, she said, “Do you think I should go adopt a few more?”
Maybe adopt enough for a soccer team?
The corners of Xu WeiWei’s mouth twitched. Was it her imagination? She hasn’t met up with Fang JunRong for a while, and her friend seemed to be deviating from the norm now. Hmm, her behavior must be the result of all the sh*t that Li WangJin had pulled! Li WangJin, scumbag!
“Let’s go and buy some jewelry.”
Why did she need to be frugal for the Li’s? The more she spent, the merrier!

Inside the private room, Zhong Yi clutched tightly onto the business card. She felt like she was walking on clouds right now. She must be dreaming, right?
“Xiao Yi, do you think she’s a con artist? She wants to lure you over to her place and kidnap you.” Jiang YaGe’s voice brought Zhong Yi back to reality.
“I don’t think so? Just look at that Young Master Gu. He even let us go because of her. With Young Master Gu’s status, many have to kowtow to him,” said Zhong Yi.
“Even if she didn’t interfere, that Young Master Gu wouldn’t be able to do anything to us anyway,” said Jiang YaGe.
Zhong Yi gave Jiang YaGe a curious look and asked, “Do you not like her, YeGe? Boss Fang had helped us out. She’s a good person.” Especially when she didn’t dislike her right away because of her look. She was very friendly to her the entire time.
Jiang YaGe’s look froze on her for a little while, and she added, “That’s not it. I just think that there’s no such thing as a free lunch and didn’t want you to be tricked. You are my best friend and I’d hate to see anything bad happen to you.”
Zhong Yi looked down at the business card again. “Her name is on here, Fang JunRong…. It sounds so familiar.”
Having said that, she fished out her cellphone and searched the name. Immediately, she gasped.
“Oh, my god! Look, she’s the co-owner of Ayron with her husband. Her picture is right on here and that’s really her!” There was ecstasy in her voice. “Oh my, she is already in her forties, but she looked so young in person.”
She looked out of it for a while. Was her luck finally going to turn after her years of misfortune?
Jiang YaGe frowned a little and bit her lips a little in surprise.
