Chapter 163 – She only had one thought. Exactly how much did Li Wangjin pay these people? (2)

Jadeite is normally cold to the touch. Yet, this piece of jadeite felt warm to the touch, much like a warm jade. Having it in his hand, he even felt less tired than he was just a moment ago.

He looked at Geng Yi, his grandson, lovingly and said to him, “Yi, come over here.”

His grandson was already 12 years old this year and he looked only around 10 years old from his appearance. Blinking his eyes, he walked over to his grandfather and took the jadeite from him.

“Eh?” He let out a happy cry and then placed the piece of jadeite against his cheek and rubbed up against it. He squinted like a kitten under the sun.

“Grandpa, I like this one.” Geng Yi’s voice was very crisp. He was well protected by his grandfather and still has a naïve and straightforward personality.

This was it! The jade was a bit on the heavy side and started to weight down on him after carrying it around for a bit, especially when he was already wearing one on top of that.

He quickly weighted his options, fished out the piece that was given to him earlier by Bai Shiyuan, casually handed it over to a servant waited nearby, and carefully placed the piece given to him by Fang JunRong into his pocket.

He gave Fang JunRong a sweet smile and said, “Thank you, big sister.”

Fang JunRong looked to be in her twenties to him, so big sister seemed appropriate.

Bai Shiyuan was stunned. Never in a million years would she had expected that the warm jade she was picked out oh so carefully would be abandoned just like that, especially when Geng Yi straight up replaced hers with the one from Fang JunRong so carefully. In contrast, it was like announcing that hers was nothing but garbage.

What’s worse was that Geng Yi had addressed to her as aunty earlier but he addressed Fang JunRong as big sister.

Her face started to burn as though she had been faceslapped repeatedly. She felt that many were looking at her, mocking her. That made her extremely uncomfortable.

Her lips moved. She was angry, embarrassed, at loss, etc.

Had she known, she shouldn’t have picked on Fang JunRong. Fang JunRong was poisonous. Every time something had to do with Fang JunRong, she had never won the upper hand.

Geng Yuan straight up said, “This was the best gift that I have received today. Thank you so much.”

Had Fang JunRong had any personal ask of him later on, as long as it wasn’t too far fetch, he would for sure willing to grant her her wish. His grandson was very important to him and Fang JunRong’s gift could not have been better.

Blow after blow later, Bai Shiyuan was very dispirited. Her eyes had lost focus but she refused to leave just to keep up the pretense.

At least, her gift was quite good too, just wasn’t as good as Fang JunRong.

She quickly found a corner where she could stay in. She was no longer arrogant like she was just half an hour ago. Like a cock who had been defeated, she could no longer held her head up high.

In the time that followed, Geng Yuan did not overlook Fang JunRong even when he was interacting with his other guests. He even praised her date, Jiang DeXian, and said that he was very good looking and surely much more handsome than Li WangJin.

Fang JunRong agreed with him wholeheartedly. She could no longer recall what Li WangJin looked like when he was young.

Many others walked up to chat with Fang JunRong. Those like Bai Shiyuan was, after all, an exception to the rule. Being able to have their accomplishments today, most of these guests were not stupid. Fang JunRong was on the up and up, nobody would want to offend her now.

The banquet carried on lively and Fang JunRong, after eating a little, gave Geng Yuan a heads up and wandered into the garden.

Geng Yuan’s garden was designed by professionals. There were mountains and water and unspeakably delicate and luxurious. The winding corridor, in particular, was an art form in and of itself that didn’t come by easily.

It was a very different feeling to appreciate this garden at night.

Learning from her past lesson, she brought her jacket with her this time. It wasn’t too cold with her jacket on. Most of the guests were inside the lobby and the garden seemed particularly serene with their footsteps being the only sound that could be heard.

Her irritation from earlier was beginning to quell.

When she was married to Li WangJin, she had attended banquets less and less. Many thought that was because of Li WangJin when, in reality, she just wasn’t the type who enjoyed the scene.

After her rebirth, she started attending more of these banquets. She had a lot of respect for He JianBing in this respect. He JianBing always seemed comfortable and articulate in situations like these.

After walking for a little while, she planned to sit down for a little break. She appreciated the manmade mountain and rock from a distance as well as a pond next to them. The pond was sizeable and looked very clear.

She pondered having one like this built for herself as well so she could walk around one from time to time.

After resting for a little while and, just when she was about to get up, she heard someone talking.

“Truth be told, I am quite envious of Fang JunRong. She is a good role model for women, always one to be envied whether it was before or after her divorce.”

Fang JunRong rubbed her nose. They just happened to be talking about her? That was too much of a coincidence. She wouldn’t buy that this was just a coincidence. She continued to listen in on the conversation.

“Right? She was not like us at all. Just look at that Li WangJin. He regrets now and really wants to get back with her.”

“Are you sure about that? I thought Li WangJin is still with that mistress of his.”

“Your news is so outdated. I heard that Li WangJin had already kicked that tramp out of his house and he drinks all the time now. He even said privately that if only Fang JunRong is willing to get back with him, he’s willing to transfer all of his assets over to her. How many men would say such a thing? I think he’s truly remorseful now.”

“That’s good. He has learned of his mistakes and is willing to make amends. The two of them have two children together. They should get back together just for the children’s sake. It’s always better for the kids to have a complete family.”

Hearing those words that entirely sided with Li WangJin, Fang JunRong only wanted to sneer. The only thought in her head right now was exactly how much did Li WangJin paid these two?

It looked like his debtors were not doing a very good job at collecting their debts.
