Chapter 237 – Jiang YaGe froze on the spot. Her biggest fear had finally happened. (3)
Some had other crazy thoughts as well. Others might not know the formula, but Fang JunRong would know that for sure. If they were to marry her, it’d be a win-win. Fang JunRong was a beauty and very presentable, other than being a little bit on the older side.
Zhang Bi could see the looks on these individuals and their looks more or less reflected their thoughts. He snickered to himself: these people need to experience Fang JunRong on their own. Fang JunRong was not a gullible 16 ~ 17-year-old. Even her daughter was more difficult than others her age.
If he had that kind of time, he would be better off spending it on Li ShiZe. If Jiang YaGe could have him fooled for so long, he was obviously a brainless one. For sure he would be able to buddy up to him easily.
***
Jiang YaGe was looking up news on Fang JunRong online. The overwhelming praises for Fang JunRong made her eyes hurt. What brought about even more grief was the fact that the White Jade Cream that was gifted to her from Zhang Bi before was only asking for 888 yuan for a bottom at Gaoyuan Corporation’s pharmacies.
How was that possible? She refused to believe it and went and bought a bottle herself. Sure enough. It was the same thing.
For sure Zhang Bi had told her that he spent 2 million on a bottle. She had trusted him so and had so much appreciation and respect for him. Now she found out that all those were fake? Most importantly, she worried about things between herself and Fang JueMing. Would he take this the wrong way?
Fang JueMing had been hanging up on her the last few times that she had called him. She had already broken up with Li ShiZe. What was she to do if Fang JueMing dump her?
She was frantic and had difficulties sleeping and eating. She couldn’t help but felt hatred toward Gaoyuan Corporation. Why did they have to sell White Jade Cream? And why at such an inexpensive price?
She could hear the door being unlocked from inside the quiet apartment. When she recollected herself, there were both anticipation and fear in her eyes.
The door was pushed open a few seconds later and Fang JueMing appeared in front of her. He looked at her indifferently and the normal gentleness was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang YaGe felt a difficulty to speak. She opened up her mouth and there was her usual she was being mistreated tone in her voice. “JueMing, Zhang Bi lied to me. He was the one who gave me the medicine and, him being from a medicinal family, I didn’t think he would lie to me about something like that.”
Once his filter for her was gone, his rationality had returned. He was more judgmental than before when he looked at Jiang YaGe. He had certainly heard some about Zhang Bi in the past. He was said to be the most talented doctor of his generation.
“So, you mean to tell me that the bottle of medicine was given to you by him. And just why did he give it to you for no reason?” Given that Gaoyuan Corporation and Yifang Corporation were competitors, he couldn’t image that the Zhang family had obtained the White Jade Cream through any legitimate means. Yes, Jiang YaGe seemed to be quite close to the Zhang family, to the point that they had gifted her what was considered a very precious drug at the time.
“I really thought the medicine was worth over a million yuan.” Fang JueMing’s attitude made Jiang YaGe nervous. “I, I am friends with Zhang Bi, which is why he gifted me a bottle.”
Fang JueMing’s lips curved upward coldly. “I am sure. If you were the ones who developed the drug, no doubt you would have sold it at a million yuan. And that is exactly why you didn’t expect Gaoyuan Corporation would give up such profit and sell the drug at cost.
“You are so far from them on the spiritual level.”
He recalled how Fang JunRong looked during the press conference. Never once did she used boast about herself with any empty embellishment. She was calm the entire time and glowed when she said she would rather take a loss than seeing those who had to live with their handicaps because they couldn’t afford the medicine. Looking back at Jiang YaGe, she probably would never choose to help him out had he not have the celebrity halo. There were so many handicapped people in this world and many of them much more seriously injured than him. He didn’t see Jiang YaGe trying to help them.
Perhaps it was an investment on her part from the very beginning. He was blinded by his appreciation for her at the time, looked at her as though she was a goddess, and accepted everything about her.
He couldn’t be more wrong from the very beginning. Fang JunRong with her altruism was the real angel here.
Thinking of that and, looking back at the sad look on Jiang YaGe, all he could think of was how pretentious she was.
“Just leave. I don’t want to see you again.”
Jiang YaGe froze on the spot. What she had dreaded the most had finally happen.
