Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 20 – Mom is always the best (3)

“How do you know that YaGe wanted it cancelled if you have never asked her? Haven’t you always been telling me how thoughtful and kind a person YaGe is? Would someone like that want to see XinYun sad by canceling the birthday party that she has been looking forward to?”

“I trust that that’s not the kind of person that YaGe is.”

Fang JunRong turned to look at Jiang YaGe and said to her, somewhat aggressively, “Am I right, YaGe?”

After words had gotten out about this issue in her previous life, everybody had learned the status of Jiang YaGe at the Li’s. That had, however, inadvertently dealt damage to XinYun. Many made fun of the fact how the real Miss Li’s status was lower than that of the adopted daughter.

Now Jiang YaGe was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she said she didn’t want to see it happen, she would be offending Li WangJin, who had stood up for her. If she said she was okay with it, then she would be a bad person who didn’t care about the feelings of Li XinYun. At a time like this, she chose to be a nice person.

“XinYun had been looking forward to this birthday banquet for a long time. There is no need to cancel it just for me. I know dad was worried about me, but XinYun’s feelings should take precedence.”

Jiang YaGe was Jiang YaGe after all. Not only was she able to make a split-second decision, but she further managed to create herself a self-sacrifice and considerate image through compromising. Looking at her reddened eyes, Li WangJin suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

Fang JunRong nodded. “And that’s why, WangJin, you shouldn’t always be doing these things while disregarding others’ feelings. Why would you do such a thing? You made XinYun sad and YaGe felt bad at the same time.”

Li WangJin felt very frustrated that he wasn’t able to defend himself.

“And you just called XinYun selfish. Don’t you think you owe her an apology?”

Li WangJin opened his mouth, but he couldn’t force out the words “I am sorry.” He’s the father here. Why did he need to apologize to his daughter? And then then’s XinYun, she should be helping him out by saying something to smooth out the situation right about now. That kid had spent too much time with JunRong since she was just a child. She was never that close to him.

When he looked over at Fang JunRong, he wasn’t sure if he was just imagining it, but JunRong seemed even prettier than before. Nonetheless, the way she was toward him was even colder than usual. Was it because of YaGe? It was her idea to adopt YaGe in the first place. Then why was she unhappy about it now?

YaGe said immediately, “I will apologize for dad.”

Fang JunRong said, “Who’d have someone else apologize for themselves? YaGe, you are a reasonable person. You should know that.”

Jiang YaGe had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Li WangJin couldn’t bring himself to take himself a notch down and apologize to XinYun after all. He finally threw down a “I need to attend a meeting. I am taking off now.” And excused himself.

Fang JunRong watched him run off and was amused. She suddenly felt bad for her old self. In the end, Li WangJin was a hypocritical person who wanted to put up a front on the outside to seem like he was a nice guy. As long as she could exploit that, his hands would be tied.

She said to Li XinYun, “I brought you some gifts. Come upstairs with me.”

Li XinYun, who felt redeemed watching her mother talk down her father for her, quickly stood up, passionately put her arms around Fang JunRong’s, and said, “Okay. Mom is always the best.”

Jiang YaGe wanted to say something more yet she could do nothing except to watch on while Fang JunRong acted that she wasn’t there at all. She felt very wronged. She had already taken a step back, why didn’t she at least get a good word in return?

She thought since Fang JunRong decided to adopt her, she’d be nice to her. But now it looked like there was a difference between the adopted daughter and the real daughter after all. No matter how hard she tried, or how unreasonable Li XinYun was, she’d never measure up to Li XinYun.
