Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law
Chapter 239 - And just like that, they have been handcuffed. (2)Chapter 239 – And just like that, they have been handcuffed. (2)
Zhang ZhiYang’s eyes were sunk in; he had not been sleeping well this entire time. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the other baring their teeth as they tried to get to him. That had kept him up at night. His entire asset had gone down by half over the course of just a week, most of them paid out as compensation. As he didn’t have enough cash, he was forced to sell off a portion of properties. His friends that he had always been hanging out with no longer looked at him the same way as they did before and many of the clan members who took off with him blamed and hated him.
Zhang SiDe said to him, “That woman seems to be in a very good mood right now. For sure she was laughing at us now.”
Zhang ZhiYang’s original plan was to take his time and butter up to Li ShiZe; unfortunately, time was no longer on his side and all of his issues laid with Fang JunRong. Fang JunRong had already offered up both White Jade Cream and Detoxification Pills; there was no reason for him to go after them anymore. He did, however, trust that Fang JunRong had more up her sleeves. Worst case scenario, if he could get ahold of Beautify Pills or Hair Growing Cream, that ought to be sufficient for him to make a comeback.
She started this so she couldn’t blame him for playing dirty. He had been nothing but nice to her yet she had set him up with his nemesis Zhang ZhiSu.

Fang JunRong brought fruits with her when she went to visit Zhong Yi at school. She had already been to Li XinYun’s and brought her some fruits. She needed to be fair and also prepared a few different types of fruits for Zhong Yi. XinYun preferred apples and grapes and Zhong Yi preferred peaches and oranges. She needed to make a trip overseas in a couple of days. The counters overseas needed to be set up and, as the founder, she needed to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
Because of Mattia, her shop in Country X would launch a few days before the one in Country Y. The counter was located at one of the major malls owned by Mattia.
She gave Zhong Yi a call when she arrived outside of her dormitory.
Zhong Yi came down quickly. She had physical education this afternoon and was still in her workout clothes. The simple and casual workout clothes mellowed out some of her attractiveness. Zhong Yi had a big smile on her after she saw Fang JunRong, “Mom.”
Zhong Yi would normally rest up some in her dormitory around noon before returning to her place by the school in the afternoon. Fang JunRong had houses for both Zhong Yi and Li XinYun nearby their schools.
Handing the fruits over to her, she said, “Here’s some fruits for you. I am going overseas in a few days. You take care of yourself and XinYun.”
Zhong Yi nodded. “Yes, I will.”
She took over the fruits, chatting with Fang JunRong for a little bit before she returned upstairs. Occasionally, she would like to show off just a little bit how nice her adoptive mother was to her.
Returning to her dormitory, she smiled and said to her roommates. “My adoptive mother had brought me some fruits. Try some.”
Her roommates were quite nice and not the kind who liked drama. When the online incident happened previously, her roommates even defended her in the forum. She was very happy with her current situation comparing to the room next to hers where they were six small chat groups among the four girls.
“Your adoptive mother brought them over specifically? There are plenty of fruits at the grocery shop by our school as well. They even have all sorts of imported fruits.” Chang Yu was the girl who spoke. She didn’t always think things through before she walked and seemed overly blunt sometimes, but she was not ill intentioned.
Zhong Yi, on the other hand, sounded a little complacent, “You will see after you have tried them.”
She rinsed a couple of oranges and peaches, sliced them up, plated them and brought them over for everyone to try.
Looking at the fruits that looked like artwork, they were all silent. The fragrance of the fruits surrounded them and went deep inside of them. It made them feel like they were breathing the fresh air inside of a forest in the morning.
A door to a whole new world had been opened for them after they had tried the fruits. All fruits that they have had in the past paled in front of these. Were those really fruits that they have had in the past? No, right?
“Your adoptive mother is so nice to you.”
“Yeah, where did she get these fruits from?”
The smile on Zhong Yi deepened. “You can’t get these on the markets yet. They are still at the experimental stage.”
