Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 40



Chapter 40 – I can’t believe that’s how you look at us (2)

Fang JunRong walked over to He JianBin. Of course, she had no intention to help out Li WangJin in the very least. She was just going to chitchat with her old friend some and let her know to be mindful of certain things. Without the collapse of the He’s, Wang Xiao would not be able to come in power smoothly and she’d have one more alliance on her side.

Looking at her, He JianBin was genuinely surprised. “Your skin is looking even better. Have you been using some kind of magical pills lately?”

Fang JunRong curved her lips upward and said, “Yes, I have been using this new kind of beautifying pills. They are quite effective. I will send you some in a few days.”

“Alright.” He JianBin wasn’t going to turn down her offer. It was quite obvious that the two of them wanted to chat privately. Noticing that, the others left them be and gave them the room to chat alone.

Fang JunRong remembered the novel that she has read and asked, “I recall that your family is planning on bidding on a piece of land?”

He JianBin nodded and asked, “Yes, are you bidding on it too?” She joked, knowing that this would not be possible. After all, the bidding would be starting in a week. It’d be too late for the Li’s or the Fang’s to jump in at this point.

Fang JunRong lowered her voice and said, “Your niece is Wang Xiao’s fiancée, right? Better watch out and not let her know your bottom line.”

In her previous life, Wang Xiao was the one who ended up outbidding the He’s and winning that piece of land. The He’s lost all of their prior investment and it was costly.

He JianBin looked more solemn now. She knew Fang JunRong well. She would never have brought this up if she didn’t know anything about it. Meaning, that was probably what had happened. Thinking of that, she really wanted to go and beat up her niece right away.

Has she lost her mind? If she brought down the He’s, what would she have left without her own backing?

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She toasted Fang JunRong and said, “Thanks.” She was just about to repay her favor by giving her some information, but she saw Fang JunRong putting her finger over her lips, gesturing to her that it would not be necessary.

He JianBin was surprised but didn’t share anything in the end. She seemed to recall some rumors about Fang JunRong and Li WangJin recently. She had assumed those rumors were spread by evil people who just wanted to stir things up maliciously. But could they be true?

“You and Li WangJin….?”

Fang JunRong’s look was much more distant. “We don’t need to talk about him.”

He JianBin got the message. The He’s had only been helping out the Li’s for the sake of Fang JunRong, but looking at her right now, that would not be necessary anymore going forward. Now that they had understood each other, she switched the subject to some fashion show that she had watched the previous week and never brought up work again.

Li WangJin, seeing the two chatting and chuckling with each other, felt a sense of relief and was more confident in his conversation with others. He walked over to them with his wine glass in hand.

As far as Sun Mei, who strongly disliked Fang JunRong, was concerned, the better Fang JunRong looked, showing no signs of distress, the fouler her own mood. This was particularly the case when her husband completely ignored her and openly brought along his secretary – the one that was his new love – today.

When she saw how Li WangJin was nice and tender to Fang JunRong in front of the others, she was so disgusted by it that she could puke.

Sun Mei had always been the kind who didn’t like to see others happy when she wasn’t happy herself. In a moment of weakness, she went over to instigate.

She walked over to Li WangJin and put up a very obviously fake surprised look. “Eh, Boss Li came with JunRong today? I thought you would be bringing someone else.”

Her tone was full of evilness, obviously waiting for drama to unfold.

Fang JunRong couldn’t be happier with Sun Mei’s timing. She played along with her and put on a doubtful look. “Who else would he bring if not me?”
