Chapter 174 – “You two are the culprits on this.” (2)
His eyes widened and almost popped out of his sockets. His breathing became labored. “Why did you bring Jiang YaGe with you? Are you trying to kill me?”
Jiang YaGe looked a lot like her mother when her mother was young. And she was almost at the exact age when Wang SiEr had cheated Li WangJin. Looking at Jiang YaGe was like bringing him back to those days and the new and old hatred all came rushing to him.
Li ShiZe looked over at his caregiver sitting next to Li WangJin’s bed and said to her, “This is private. Why don’t you step outside for now?”
The caregiver looked over at Li WangJin and, seeing that he had nodded his acknowledgement, walked outside of the patient’s room.
Seeing that the person had left, Li WangJin turned back to his father. “Dad, Wang SiEr is Wang SiEr and Yage is Yage. They are two different people,” said Li ShiZe with a frown. “Don’t you know that Yage is not like her mother?”
All of Li WangJin’s goodwill toward Jiang YaGe was gone and, looking at her right now, all he could think of was her mother.
Clutching his own chest, he said angrily, “She is exactly like her mother, phony, ungrateful, and deceitful!”
Jiang YaGe had difficulty standing straight up.
Li ShiZe wrapped his arm around her waist and his attitude firm. “Yage is kind and gentle. She is not how you said she is.”
Seeing that his son was still being an idiot, Li WangJin was about to explode from anger. As much as he wanted to listen to his doctors’ advices and not get angry, but since when was getting angry something that was controllable by one’s will?
He snickered. “Oh really? Would a truly kind person when on a show to smear your mother, trying to make audiences in the entire country think poorly of her? Would a truly kind person feel that it was okay to have Deng Lan bought her all those things?
“You mom saw through her from the very beginning. That was why she never liked her.”
He was an idiot. Because of Wang SiEr, he had always been looking at Jiang YaGe in a better light and ended up hurting his own daughter.
Li ShiZe’s face dropped. “That’s enough, Dad. I won’t stand by and watch you insult Yage.”
Jiang YaGe’s eyes were teary. “I know that there are a lot of misunderstandings between Uncle and I. It’s alright. But my mother really wasn’t who you think she was.
“When she went to college, she worked very hard to pay for her own tuition and living expenses. She took the money for my aunt. She didn’t want to see my aunt drop out of school because she couldn’t afford tuition.
“She regretted about it all these years. Which was why she told me to treat you like my own father. She asked me to be familial to you and make up to you.
“You can shout at me or hit me. As long as it will make you feel better, I will accept all of them willingly.”
Li ShiZe looked touched.
Li WangJin was not touched at all. In fact, he was even angrier than he was before. “You mean to tell me that you knew about your mother stealing money from me?”
The mother and daughter must have laughed at how much of a fool he was behind his back all the time.
“Make up to me? Oh? And just how are you going to do that? You tell me how much of my money have you spent since I have taken you in. You had caused my divorce with JunRong and drove a wedge between XinYun and I. Are you sure you are here to make up to me and not to revenge me?”
The more he talked, the angrier he became. He even forgotten the doctor’s words. “You get the heck out of here! I never want to see this tramp again in my life!”
Jiang YaGe turned pale and tears streamed down her eyes.
