Li WangJin had no idea that he was being cussed out. The only thing in his mind was how to get through this incident. Once the owner of the real painting had stepped up, what he had gifted to Fang JunRong was for sure labeled as the counterfeit.
He could not admit to that fact that he gave her a counterfeit purposefully. So his only option was to insist that he, too, was a victim. Something like that was not unheard of in the antique field.
Nevertheless, when he looked under Fang JunRong’s Weibo, he was about to have a stroke from anger.
This morning, Fang JunRong had posted all of the paintings that he had given her in the past along with all the appraisal reports, proving that they were all counterfeits.
Was she that eager to bury him alive? They may not be a couple anymore, but they still have a son and a daughter together. Couldn’t she have held back for the sake of their children?
He could no longer read the commentary under his Weibo page. All of the netizens were leaving him all sorts of nasty comments. After all, one counterfeit might be an accident, but all of them could not be easily explained away as accidents.
That being so, he still had to bring himself to leave a post on Weibo. He started with expressing his love for the work of Xu FangWeng and followed up with how awful it was that others had taken advantage of his passion and lured him with counterfeit work. He went on about how he had been too trusting to inspect the work thoroughly. Finally, he was sorry about the trouble that he had caused his ex-wife.
Beyond that, he would have to hand that over to the public relation team. At this point in time, even the best public relation team would not be able to save his nice guy persona.
Welp. It was what it was. When the fact that he had cheated on Fang JunRong was exposed, the public opinions against him would be even worse.
Li WangJin could only comfort himself that way. He would just have to go along with it right now.
Even though he had put a lot of work into controlling his emotions, once he got home and saw Jiang YaGe sitting there like nothing had happened, he was enraged all over again. Ever since Jiang YaGe has returned, she had been causing him troubles left and right. First, she had offended Wang Xiao. Now, she had caused damage to his public persona. As much as he had spoiled her rotten in the past, it was difficult to continue to dote on her with all the damages that she had caused him.
It might have been different if Jiang YaGe was apologetic about what she had done, but she had a spring-is-in-the-air look on her. It was obvious that she was in a fairly good mood.
That infuriated Li WangJin even more!
Jiang YaGe was startled when she saw Li WangJin. The incident the night before had brought her closer to Li ShiZe. The two even went as far as having intimacy after they were intoxicated the night before. She now saw herself as Li ShiZe’s girlfriend, and she couldn’t be happier to the point that she had forgotten about what was going on online. She finally remembered it when she saw Li WangJin, and she was a little worried.
“Dad….” She was intimidated.
“I don’t think I am good enough to be your dad. You have a lot of ideas now and would go behind my back to do what you’ve promised me that you wouldn’t do,” said Li WangJin coldly. He had been fairly good to Jiang YaGe for the sake of Wang SiEr and how she had repaid him for his kindness? Sure enough, Jiang YaGe didn’t measure up to a fraction of who her mother was.
That accusation hurt too much. Tears started rolling down her face. “I… I am sorry…I had your best interest in mind. I didn’t think it would lead to this.” In her mind, she felt that this was part of Li WangJin’s fault. He was so rich but still carried out trickeries like this so unnecessarily and now even negatively impacted her.
If everything had gone the way that it should, she might have been able to gain some popularity online and maybe earn the title of a Young Miss.
“Are you saying that this was my fault?” asked Li WangJin angrily.
“No, I didn’t say that,” said Jiang YaGe, feeling unjust.
