Chapter 43 – She Wasn’t Upset At All. Quite the Contrary, She Was Pleased By The Development (2)
By now, the security guard at home had already gone home, so she used her access card to open the door directly. Lucky for her, there was nobody else home, as though an invisible force was trying to help her out. She seemed to vaguely recall that her adopted parents went to a banquet tonight and wouldn’t be home anytime soon. Li ShiZe had been spending most of his time at the office recently and Li XinYun was gone on a trip.
She found a trolly, dragged the man into her room, and hid him inside her bathroom. Her bathroom was quite big, so having him in there wasn’t an issue at all. She pulled out a mattress and put it on the floor.
She even ran back outside and cleaned up the blood left behind by him. She rummaged through the closet, found the first aid kit, and bandaged the wound for the strange man. After she was done with all those, she smiled lightly.
As there was one more person inside her room, she didn’t sleep too deeply that night and woke up before the sky was bright. Jiang YaGe went to check on the man in the bathroom. He hasn’t woken up yet.
Maybe she could make some porridge for him – that idea just popped into her head.

Going downstairs, Fang JunRong could smell the aroma of meat porridge. She looked over and saw Jiang YaGe setting up bowls and chopsticks. Hearing noises, Jiang YaGe turned around and smiled at her. “Mom, I’ve made breakfast. Try some and let me know what you think of my cooking.”
Jiang YaGe had only intended to make some bone porridge for Wang Xiao, but she needed a cover up for it, so she just said she was making breakfast for everyone. That would also gain her brownie points.
Fang JunRong said nonchalantly, “Mrs. Zhang can take care of all those.”
Jiang YaGe smiled and said, “You and dad had done so much for me. I want to do something to show my appreciation too. Plus Mrs. Zhang has been cooking for us every day. She can use a break.”
The admiration and trust in her sparkling eyes made it difficult to turn her down. Mrs. Zhang, standing next to her, immediately looked fonder of her.
Fang JunRong must admit that when Jiang YaGe wanted to flatter someone, she was very good at it. Too bad Fang JunRong’s heart had already been hardened and she wasn’t moved by that at all. Why was Jiang YaGe offering to cook all of a sudden? Had Wang Xiao arrived already?
Fang JunRong wasn’t flattered by her, but it worked like a charm on Li WangJin and Li ShiZe. Li WangJin, especially, wouldn’t stop singing her praises. He praised how delicious the soup was and how familial Jiang YaGe was.
Particularly after he saw the blister on her finger from cooking the porridge, he felt so bad for her that all he wanted to do was to take her shopping. His passion died down quickly thinking about the cash that he had remaining. He looked at Fang JunRong with anticipation.
Fang JunRong had been married to him for years and more or less had an idea of what was going through his mind.
She chuckled to herself and went back inside her own room after half a bowl of porridge.

During the next few days, Fang JunRong spent quite a bit of time looking at the surveillance videos. She was surprised that Wang Xiao had ran into Jiang YaGe just like he did in her previous life.
Wang Xiao was alarmed toward Jiang YaGe at the beginning, but after Jiang YaGe had been treating his wound and feeding him three meals a day, his attitude toward her had obviously softened.
