Chapter 215 – “Since when did Film Emperor Fang JueMing become your aunt?” (1)
For those who automatically placed themselves on the moral high ground, she just ban each of them as they come. It so happened that Gong YiLin ran into her. If it was anybody else, he’d just pay money to make it all go away. He made a mistake and he should be prepared for the consequences. He only went as far as he did because he figured that his family was wealthy.
Had he not be punished for his actions this time, he might do something even worse to someone else in the future. The truth was, Gong YiLin didn’t regret about what he had done; he regret that he had misjudged her as someone weak and that he could walk all over but he couldn’t have been more wrong.
They could call her petty all they want but no way she was going to call it all off!
Li XinYun closed out of her chat and walked out of her room. She sniffed and smiled. “It smells so amazing! What is it?”
Zhou Yi, sitting on the couch, looked up and smiled at her, “Come and try my grandma’s fried oysters. Hers are better than the ones you find in restaurants.”
Zhou Yi’s grandmother had come over to their house the last couple of days. She was in much better health now. She used cooking as a kind of exercise and had been making everyone midnight snacks as of late.
Li XinYun picked up a fried oyster, still hot from just coming out of the vat of oil, and put it inside of her mouth. The fresh flavor of the oyster exploded on her tongue. The batter was crunchy on the outside and the inside spongy and warm. It was delectable to have with a little bit of the sweet spicy sauce.
Delicious! She couldn’t stop once she had started and ate one after another.
“Grandma’s cooking is so amazing!” She had been calling her Grandma just like Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi smiled so much that her eyes could barely be seen. “She hasn’t made this one in a while now.”
As the two chatted, the two girls cleaned off a full plate of fried oyster by themselves. After she had finished eating, Li XinYun reflexively pinched her waist and, she wasn’t sure whether she was imaging it or not, but she felt that her dresses had been a bit tight on her lately. She stroked her cheek and felt even worse. Perhaps she should start watching what she was eating. She might otherwise not be able to fit into the new clothes that she had bought.
When she was done eating, her mother Fang JunRong, too was home, bringing with her the bitterness from the outside weather.
Li XinYun recalled something and asked, “Mom, did the Gong’s reached out to you to let them off the hook?”
Judging from how urgent Gong YiLin’s friends had been reaching out to her, he clearly cared a lot about the demerit and also worried about a criminal record.
Fang JunRong gave it a little thought and said casually, “Oh, you mean the Gong’s? Not that I am aware of. They won’t be able to get ahold of my personal cellphone number with their status.”
She had looked into the Gong’s because of her daughter’s incident and learned that they, too, were in the cosmetic business, mainly focusing on facial masks. Their net assets were in the two billion range. Rich, but not so rich that allowed them to walk sideways. She wondered what made them feel so confident in themselves. The fact that this was the first time things had backfire on them was in and of itself a miracle.
Li XinYun, “……”
Ain’t that the truth! They probably also knew better than to reach out to her mother directly. She, on the other hand, was only 17 and was probably viewed as someone that they could potentially convince.
Thinking of that, Li XinYun pouted in discontent. She felt that she was being underestimated.
Fang JunRong had a lot on her plate and didn’t have too much bandwidth to spend on the Gong YiLin issue. She just needed to hand over the lawsuit matters to her team of lawyers and that would be that. They were hired on with lucrative amounts and now it was time for them to do their thing. She even had them looked into Gong YiLin past to see if there were any other victims out there who might want to sue him. She would be more than happy to cover their lawyer fees as an act of kindness.
