Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 76 – It Is Only Painful When One Is on the Receiving End (1)

As much as Li XinYun wasn’t too happy about her dad, he was her real father after all and was quite nice to her in the past, Li XinYun really didn’t want to think poorly of him. But she also didn’t think her mother would badmouth her father intentionally, so she was dumbfounded…

Fang JunRong didn’t want to say much. She simply picked up the phone and called up Li WangJin. Her voice was cold. “You gave a painting to XinYun?”

Li WangJin sounded a little tired from the other end. “Yeah, hadn’t she wanted this one painting of mine? It’s her birthday so I thought I’ll just give it to her as a gift. She is my daughter after all, of course I care about her.”

Hearing his words, Li XinYun’s look relaxed some.

Fang JunRong just wanted to snicker. How did he have the guts to still feign that he cared about his daughter after he had made such a disgusting move? Her voice became even colder. “Oh? I don’t want to have anything that will remind me of you in my house, so I plan to auction the painting off.”

Li WangJin’s voice went up a notch right away. “Wait, you can’t do that! It’s my gift to XinYun. It represents my love for her!”

Fang JunRong looked over at Li XinYun and mouthed to her to play along with her.

Li XinYun definitely trusted her mother more than her father. Taking the phone from her mother, she sounded very apologetic. “I’m sorry, Dad, but I really don’t want to upset Mom. If it will make her feel better auctioning the painting off, I’d rather do that.

“Besides, you have already gifted it to me. I should be able to decide what to do with it.”

As Li XinYun didn’t have a speaker on, Fang JunRong couldn’t hear what Li WangJin was saying from the other end, but she could see that Li XinYun’s look grew darker and darker. Li XinYun finally just hung up the phone.

She pouted and said, “As soon as I said I am going to auction the painting off, Dad went crazy. He said he regretted about giving it to me and wanted it back. He said he will send me a different gift.”

Had Fang JunRong not told her that there was something wrong with the painting in advance, Li XinYun might not have given it much thought. Li WangJin’s reaction had confirmed everything. He was worried about the painting being appraised if it was to be auctioned off; meaning he knew all along that there was something wrong with it.

Her own father. The gift from him was a counterfeit? How ironic and laughable!

Li XinYun wanted to cry. She felt very wronged. She didn’t understand what she had done that made her father dislike her and would do such a thing to her. He was generous with other women, except when it came to his own daughter. And he’d insult her in such a way.

She sniffled. Her voice with her tears choked back sounded very pitiful. “Why would Dad do such a thing?”

Fang JunRong was calm. “Because Jiang YaGe is the daughter of his puppy love. Puppy love is always the best.” To be precise, it was Li WangJin who had an one-sided crush on Jiang YaGe’s mother, Wang SiEr.

According to the book that she had read, Li WangJin tried his hand at business during his sophomore year in college and failed. He had lost all the funds given to him from his family as well as all the money in his own savings. Li WangJin was not the official heir of Li’s. Not wanting to leave a bad impression with the elders in the family, he did not ask his family for help. If he did, that would be the equivalent of giving up his chance of being their heir.

During the period when he was in abject poverty, Wang SiEr told him that she had tightened her own belt and saved up some money to help him out. She had since become his white moonlight. Except that Wang SiEr already had a boyfriend back then, so she turned him down. Li WangJin had buried this love affair deep inside his heart since.
