Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 59 – Her cheerful voice turned into the last straw on the camel’s back to Li WangJin (3)

Li WangJin wanted to laugh out loud when he thought about the fact that, from this point forward, he would be the final say of everything Aryon related. Yet, he had long since gotten into the habit of pretending to be a nice guy in front of Fang JunRong and didn’t want his excitement and eagerness to show. The conflict inside of him made his expression look twisted.

He lowered his head. After regaining control of his look, he looked up at Fang JunRong and said, “Would you like a ride to your meeting place with He JianBing?”

He couldn’t contain himself. He wanted to let He JianBing know the news. He never liked He JianBing much. Especially as of late, that woman never even greeted him when she ran into him, as though he was just some accessory that was following Fang JunRong around.

Fang JunRong gave him a smile that wasn’t really a smile and said, “Why not?”

Li WangJin happily walked next to Fang JunRong.

Fang JunRong was going to meet He JianBing at a Michelin restaurant. When she was almost there, Fang JunRong let He JianBing know to come out to meet her. Looking at Li WangJin, He JianBing gave a very official smile and said, “So you are divorced now?”

Li WangJin nodded. He took a look at Fang JunRong, sighed, and said, “Yeah, JunRong couldn’t forgive me.”

He JianBing turned and looked at Fang JunRong, “All the terms and conditions are the same as before?”

Fang JunRong acknowledged.

He JianBing was very happy all of a sudden and said to Fang JunRong, “Congratulations. The government is going to develop in the Beihu area next year. Your piece of land is going to go up and up in price.”

This news was about to be announced in a few days, so it didn’t matter that she said it out loud. Plus, He JianBing purposefully wanted Li WangJin to hear it.

Li WangJin was stunned silent and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. His lips trembled. “I thought it was the Nanhe District?” How was it Beihu now?

He JianBing pursed her lips. “No. Who told you it was Nanhe?” She pretended that she was trying to recall. “Oh, that reminds me. I might have mistakenly told my friend that it was Nanhe when we were talking about it previously. I better give him a call to clarify.”

She looked over at Li WangJin. “But how did you know about this? Who told you?”

Li WangJin was in no mood to answer her question. All he could think of was the piece of land in Beihu was about to go up in price. He didn’t even care about all those properties at the time and just casually signed them all over to Fang JunRong without even trying to haggle with her.

The sudden news shocked Li WangJin so much that he thought his soul would be shattered. Dazed, he kept on repeating to himself, “That’s not possible”, “How could that be?” He was in shock and wished that this was all but a dream.

Fang JunRong gave Li WangJin a very sincere look and said, “Aye, too bad we have already divorced and that land no longer has anything to do with you.” She waved the divorce decree in her hand at him.

“I was going to go get the divorce after my lunch with JianBing, but you didn’t want to wait at all.” Of course, that was all because He JianBing was willing to work with her. It would never have gone so smoothly otherwise.

“I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Sometimes that’s just how things are. Don’t worry. I will make sure I do a good job with that piece of land.”

Her cheerful voice turned into the last straw on the camel’s back to Li WangJin.

She took one last look at the devastated Li WangJin and walked inside the restaurant with He JianBing. It’d be one thing had he not known about it at all. But just one day’s difference, and he would have been able to have a substantially greater share of wealth. That news was devastating to Li WangJin.

Li WangJin gave Fang JunRong a deadly stare from behind her. Thinking about the piece of land that he had just missed out, he was about to vomit blood.

Why didn’t he just wait a couple of days to get a divorce? Why?! How was it that He JianBing just happened to misspoke about the location? Could he blame He JianBing? No! It was his assistant who was listening in on their conversation and got the wrong information that led to his demise.

Suddenly, he saw black and his body started to fall backward.
