Chapter 90 – The turn of events was so abrupt that they thought they might have injured their backs (3)
Li XinYun has, by now, recalled some of the details as related to this painting. This painting was truly a birthday gift from her father to her mother, even though she couldn’t quite remember when exactly that happened.
Fang JunRong, her lips curved upward, snickered, “I started feeling suspicious since he gave you that forgery. So I sent all the ones that he had given to me in the past to be appraised. Turned out they were all forgeries.”
Li XinYun was shocked beyond words. Her father had been giving her mother Xu FangWeng’s works since a few years ago. That meant that he had already betrayed her way back then.
As much as there was barely any feeling she had left for him after the forgery that she had received on her birthday, finding out about this had wiped away whatever that was left.
They had now truly passed the point of no return.
She suspected that her mother only divorced him with such alacrity because she was already aware of this. Her mother must have been hurt even more than she did.
At that very moment, she even started to hate her father.

“The Fate of Antiques”, as a high rating variety TV show, each episode has a very high popularity on the web. The appearance of Jiang YaGe had further pushed the show’s rating through the roof. The comments on their official website grew exponentially.
At the end of the episode, all the audiences saw how Jiang YaGe was crying on the show. They all turned into trolls and started fighting for Jiang YaGe in the commenting section.
[Man, what has Jiang YaGe done to deserve that? The gift that she so treasured turned out to be a forgery!]
[Well, you don’t know that for sure. Perhaps Fang JunRong was blind and bought the forgery by accident.]
[Oh, pffffft. What kind of person is Fang JunRong. She’d for sure have someone appraised something like that before she buys then. She knew damn well whether it’s real or it’s a forgery.]
[I felt so bad for Jiang YaGe. She has trusted Fang JunRong so. Fang JunRong has gone too far on this. She was a CEO after all, how could she do that to a young girl? To think that I was such a fan of her. Fan no more!]
[Obviously it was an effort to insult Jiang YaGe. Saying that she was only worth a forgery. No wonder Boss Li wanted to divorce her. She deserves it!]
[I’ve heard that she even got quite a bit from the divorce. What a shame. Boss Li is such a nice guy and YaGe looks up to him so much when she talks about him and says such good words about him. Fang JunRong is not good enough for Li WangJin.]
[Feel bad+1. She’s truly so pretty. I felt my heart shattered into pieces when I saw her crying on TV.]
[Fang JunRong’s company is going to launch a new line of skin-care products in a few days. I think it’s called Beautify Pills. Blah, she’s such an evil person. I wouldn’t believe that the so-called Beautify Pills are real. It might have been mixed with ingredients that would damage your skin.]
[Boycott Fang JunRong! Boycott Meifang Corporation!]
The two topics of “Feeling bad for Jiang YaGe” and “Boycott Fang JunRong” quickly made it into the most trended search list and continued to climb in its position.
Many others visited Fang JunRong’s Weibo. There were those who questioned her intent; there were those who hailed insults; then there were those who mocked her. Anything that one could think of. It was a live scene of a mad party for trolls.
Both Li XinYun and Zhong Yi were infuriated. If only they weren’t held back by Fang JunRong, they would have engaged with the netizens and duke it out with them already. Fang JunRong had also received a lot of calls from friends, but she explained away with a few words. She watched her ranking on the most trending list going up and up happily and even purchased the service to push them higher.
These were all free advertisements!
By the time “Feeling bad for Jiang YaGe” had reached the #1 spot, Fang JunRong finally released her Weibo post.
[When Jiang YaGe first came to us, I had really looked forward to it. I even specifically asked Li WangJin what she would like as a gift. At the time, Li WangJin had told me that she likes things that are unique. Which was why I have decided to give her the painting of beautiful women from my own collection. That was a painting that was given to me by Li WangJin on my birthday just the year before that. I trust that anyone who had attended my birthday banquet that day would remember that. I’d also like to find out how the painting turned out to be a forgery. Could someone give me an explanation on that as well? @Li WangJin @Ayron Corporation]
All of the netizens who had been happily dissing Fang JunRong were stunned silent when they saw the Weibo post.
The turn of events was so abrupt that they thought they might have injured their backs.
