Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 75 – Li XinYun was soft-hearted; she didn’t want her falling for his tricks later on (3)

Deng Lan said, “Your days must not be as good as before after the divorce.” Without the love from her father and older brother, naturally Li XinYun’s current life was worse than how it once was.

Li XinYun cocked her head a little and said, “You are right. My life is certainly different than it was before. In the past, I only had 100,000 yuan of pocket money a month. Now my mom gives me 500,000 yuan a month because she loves me so much.”

As much as Li XinYun was not good at nonverbal communication, she could still tell that Deng Lan’s intention was malicious. Seriously. What was wrong with this person, trying to pick on her at her birthday banquet?

Deng Lan’s look froze for a little – her pocket money was only 10,000 yuan a month. She even needed to save up if she wanted to buy any luxurious items. Compared to Li XinYun, her status was like that of a maid.

Li XinYun said straight to her face, “I don’t like you much. Don’t show up in front of me too often.”

She was, after all, a spoiled child and would do or say whatever she wanted to.

Li XinYun turned and walked away, leaving Deng Lan standing there with an angry and embarrassed look. She hadn’t expected Li XinYun to have such a bad temperament and wasn’t subtle at all. No wonder her own father and brother didn’t like her and wouldn’t even come to her birthday banquet. She felt bad for Li ShiZe for having such a rude sister.

She took a deep breath and walked back to where she was as though nothing had happened, only to notice that the girls that she had been chatting with kept a distance from her when she walked toward them. Clearly, they didn’t wish to talk to her again.

That had embarrassed Deng Lan even more. Being ostracized by everyone made her feel that everybody was making fun of her.

***

Idiots like Deng Lan were in the minority. Li XinYun quickly forgot about the exchange and continued to enjoy her birthday banquet.

After the end of the banquet and having seen all of the guests off with her mother, Li XinYun started going through all the gifts that she had received. The one that she liked the most among them was a set of topaz jewellery from her mother. Its craftsmanship was marvelous and the way they sparkled was dazzling.

“Eh?” She suddenly found a gift box with Li WangJin’s name on the outside. Even though he didn’t come in person, he had someone sent over a gift.

Li XinYun felt a bit complicated. She thought that her father had already forgotten about her, but he still sent over a gift for her. As upset as she was with him, she still unwrapped the gift. It was a painting inside, and she could tell right away that it was the work of Xu FangWeng.

As her father was a big fan of this artist, she, too, had learned quite a bit about the style of this artist.

This was a painting of an orchid. She seemed to recall that her father had spent a million yuan on this. This was quite fancy of a birthday present. Perhaps, she wasn’t entirely worthless in her father’s mind.

Feeling a little touched, she went to show her mother the gift.

To her surprise, when Fang JunRong saw the painting, her smiling face dropped. “That good ol’ Li WangJin!”

How dare he give her daughter a useless piece of paper for her birthday!

Li XinYun’s mouth opened a little. She asked, perplexed, “Mom, do you not like this painting?” She might not have much appreciation for it herself, but she at least knew that Xu FangWeng’s paintings were very valuable.

Fang JunRong snickered and said in a sarcastic way. “This painting is fake! He gave a fake to his own daughter. Not even I thought he’d do that.”

She had no intention to maintain his image in his child’s mind after he had pulled such a stunt. Li XinYun was soft-hearted; she didn’t want her falling for his tricks later on.

“Huh?” Li XinYun thought she must have heard wrong.
