Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law
Chapter 99 - Perhaps, adopting her was the first of his mistakes (3)Chapter 99 – Perhaps, adopting her was the first of his mistakes (3)
She suddenly recalled something. Speaking of, Jiang WenYu’s family, the Jiang’s, as medical doctors for generations, also have formulas that have been passed down for several hundreds of years. One of the most famous one was their Bone-Reattaching Cream. Their effects were unquestionable but also extremely expensive. A small bottle of one would run upwards of 10,000 yuan. Not a small amount for a normal family. The Jiang’s had been very established over the years from the profit of this product.
Fang JunRong trusted that her White Jade Cream could only be better than their Bone-Reattaching Cream. When her product hit the market, she’d sell them for cheaper than theirs just to spite them. She hasn’t forgotten how Zhang Bi poisoned her in her previous life and made her a very mentally unstable person.

Right this moment, Jiang YaGe was at work. After school had started, she found a job as a tutor for a high school student through a fellow schoolmate in her activity club to make some extra money. That was the last resort. She didn’t think that Li WangJin would be so upset that he even stopped hers and Li ShiZe’s credit cards.
ShiZe didn’t have a lot of cash lately and was busy looking for investors. As a very considerate girlfriend, naturally Jiang YaGe couldn’t be more of a burden for him and should at least earn her own expenses. She even sold off a few of her purses as his start up capital. Unfortunately, they were but a drop in a bucket.
She recalled her lifestyle just a month ago. It was still clear in her head. Going from a lavish lifestyle back to a frugal one is dangerous. She found her frugal lifestyle particularly difficult now. She had no choice but to encourage herself: ShiZe was mighty. Once his career started to take off, they could go back to their previous lifestyle.
No, wait. That wasn’t why she was dating him. She truly liked him as a person.
She dragged her exhausted body back to the dormitory. The soundproofing of the dormitory wasn’t that great. She could hear the cheerful voices of her roommates.
“Yan-er, your skin looked so much better than it was before! Is that really the effect of the Beautify Pills? Had I known, I would have gotten one myself too! They were already sold out on their official website. It will be another week before more becomes available.”
“I’ve spent every penny I made over summer on this. I got three boxes!” Jiang YaGe’s roommate bragged contently.
“Say, should we ask YaGe? Isn’t she the Li’s adopted daughter? Maybe she can help us get some.”
“Yeah, right. Haven’t you seen all the drama on Weibo? Jiang YaGe’s relationship with that Boss Fang was awful, alright? Why else would she get on the show trying to set her up? She looks so innocent normally but is so conniving deep down inside. Boss Fang had already adopted her and that was her way of repaying her.”
“Boss Fang doesn’t recognize her as her adopted daughter, she only recognizes Zhong Yi. Look at Zhong Yi now. She is so different than she was last semester. Now she walks and talks like a lady from a prestigious family. And look at Jiang YaGe, she still has to work part-time for money. You can figure out her status at the Li’s.”
Jiang YaGe’s hand that was resting on the doorknob trembled and tears came rolling down her cheeks. No, that wasn’t who she was. They didn’t know anything. They only spoke kindly of Fang JunRong because she was rich.
Society is too cruel.
She couldn’t stay in this dormitory any longer.
She turned to leave and ran all the way to Li ShiZe’s office. It’s been a few days since she had last seen him. He was good-looking and handsome as usual, but his aura had changed a lot. He was elegant and prideful in the past and always calmed and charming no matter what happened. Now, with all the recent obstacles that he had been running into and all the hardships, he was irritable and ill-tempered.
The halo that had been shining down on him seemed to have dimmed.
“Yage.” Li ShiZe looked up at her and his eyes were bloodshot.
He was a privileged one. Him becoming like this for her made her feel both proud and disappointed. The Li ShiZe that she liked was the confident and mighty one.
Sniffling, she looked fragile and heart-broken in front of him as she said to him, “ShiZe, why don’t you go home? Apologize to Dad and Mom. You are their son. They wouldn’t really disown you. I don’t want to see you like this because of me. You are a prideful male eagle and shouldn’t break your wings because of me. It is my fault. I am pulling you down.”
She had to choke back tears toward the end but her voice was very decisive.
