Looking at Li WangJin standing in front of her righteously, Fang JunRong was amazed. What made him think it was okay for him to come to her for that?
“… SiXian was badly injured. The doctor said her face is ruined. If words got out, many would think that you were the one who was behind it,” said Li WangJin in the most caring way. “Even though we are already divorced, our relationship has been amicable. I still think of you as a friend, so I’d hate to see others spreading untruthful rumors about you. So what do you say if we look into this together?”
Fang JunRong almost busted out laughing. “You don’t need to goad me. Whoever dare spread untruthful rumors about me will receive letters from my lawyer.”
The thought of Wang Xiao getting revenge had crossed Fang JunRong’s mind in the past, but she hadn’t expected him to resort to strong acid right away. And this time, it was Wang SiXian who was the victim instead of Jiang YaGe.
Looking back into her previous life, after Jiang YaGe started dating her BBQ-pork son, she continued to be good friends with the film emperor. That had enraged many of his fans and finally led to one of them trying to splash acid onto her. Except that one time, it was XinYun who ended up being the victim.
As that girl was an acquaintance of XinYun, everybody took Jiang YaGe’s side and expressed that XinYun deserved it because she failed to pick friends carefully. Everybody sided with the crying Jiang YaGe. The way they put it, all XinYun lost was her look, but Jiang YaGe’s injury was on her heart.
Now that Wang SiXian had become the victim instead, she felt somewhat better.
Li WangJin was still working on trying to convince her. “Well, you don’t want to offend everyone. That would be bad for your reputation.”
“Why do I need a good reputation with these people?” asked Fang JunRong nonchalantly.
With her not caring what he was saying, Li WangJin’s original confidence when he came to her was all gone. He resorted to reverse psychology. “Are you so reluctant in helping me with this because you are the one who did it?” Then he suddenly remembered another issue. “How come Sun Mei has that video clip? Did she get it from you?”
“How’d I know how Sun Mei came across the video? Her and I are not that close. But I owe her one on this. If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be fooled by you to this day.”
Li WangJin was fresh out of ideas. He was so angry that he clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do about Fang JunRong.
Fang JunRong’s lips curved up sarcastically. “I thought you came to look for me because of XinYun’s birthday which is in two days. It looks like you had already forgotten about it completely. Since you don’t care about XinYun, I don’t want either you or your son to show up at her birthday banquet either.”
The two of them being there would only upset XinYun.
Li WangJin was going to say something else, but Fang JunRong cut him off. “If you and Li ShiZe stay away from the birthday banquet, I might be able to point you in the right direction.”
Li WangJin hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind. “Okay, tell me.”
Fang JunRong snickered. Sure enough. His daughter meant nothing to him.
Her look turned cold and she said, “You can start by looking into Wang Xiao. I looked into the incident when you were splashed with feces and that had eventually led me to him.”
She went on to give him a brief introduction of Wang Xiao. Truth was, even if Li WangJin hadn’t showed up, she would have found a way to get this clue over to him anyway. She didn’t exactly want to see Wang Xiao getting away scot-free either; it’s best to let the two of them duke it out.
Li WangJin was dumbfounded. “Wang Xiao? What had I ever done to him?” He had met Wang Xiao maybe once at the most. And he was amicable with him when they met.
“You’ll have to ask YaGe. Your precious daughter has done something awful to him.”
“That’s impossible!” Li WangJin was stunned.
