Chapter 10

Speaking of, the way that Li WangJin loved and protected Jiang YaGe made Fang JunRong wonder whether Jiang YaGe was his biological daughter. She did a DNA test behind their back and the result came back negative.

That was another point that she had never figured out.

After Fang JunRong returned to her room, about half an hour later, her precious daughter Li XinYun finally came over. Seeing her look with “unhappy” written all over it, Fang JunRong only felt that she missed that a lot.

Smiling, she said, “You waited half an hour before you came over this time. That’s an improvement.”

Li XinYun grunted with a slightly prideful look, “When mom has two more precious daughters, I would be worthless.”

Fang JunRong shook her head, “You will always be my more precious treasure. Nobody can measure up to that.”

“Not even older brother?”

“Of course,” said Fang JunRong without any hesitation. Had she transmigrated to 20 years earlier, she’d have just aborted that slab of pork directly.

Surely, Li XinYun’s look mellowed down. A baffled look on her pretty little face, she asked, “What made you suddenly want to adopt daughters, Mom?”

Fang JunRong knew that her daughter wasn’t good at playing games. If she found out before the divorce, she just might slip and let something out. Plus, Li WangJin had always played the role of a good father up until the point that Jiang YaGe had joined them.

She patted her on her head and said, “Mom will tell you the truth in six months’ time.”

She’d for sure have the divorce taken care of in 6-months’ time. Plus, once Jiang YaGe had joined them, XinYun would more or less pick up something.

As she was given such a specific time frame, Li XinYun couldn’t help but feel that her mom had her reasons. She had no choice but to accept it.

“Okay. If it’s just 6 months’ time. I can wait.” She balled her hands up into fists. Her cute look made Fang JunRong laugh. Her biggest purpose after her rebirth was to protect her daughter’s smile.

“This is a secret between the two of us, okay?”

“Okay.”

After placating her daughter, Fang JunRong had freed herself up more to take care of other matters. The next few days, most of what she was doing was to purchase stuff and another place to live.

She had expected Zhong Yi to reach out to her quickly after she had given her her business card. When she hadn’t heard from her until Thursday, she was quite surprised.

Fang JunRong thought about it for a little and decided to make a trip to White Crane and talk to Zhong Yi directly. Sure enough, Zhong Yi was at work today. After seeing Fang JunRong, Zhong Yi was stunned for a little while, and then she teared up in the next second but she quickly wiped that away.

Choking back her tears, she said, “Boss Fang.”

Fang JunRong had a slight smile on her and said, “I thought you’d be giving me a call.”

After she had wiped away her tears, her cherry-blossom eyes were even brighter than they were before. She said to her, “I put your business card away the other day, but somehow I wasn’t able to find it again. I have spent so much time looking for it…”

She thought she had lost her chance for good. She never expected Fang JunRong to show up in front of her again, seeking her out herself. She had contemplated whether Fang JunRong had other ulterior motives. But then again, she was just a normal girl, what could Fang JunRong possibly get from her?

She dare not reach out to Fang JunRong without the business card.

Fang JunRong was a little dubious, “I thought you’d save my phone number.”

Zhong Yi sniffled and said, “I lost your business card and felt like I had lost the invitation. I didn’t dare to contact you…”

Fang JunRong could understand how she was feeling. All in all, Zhong Yi felt too many uncertainties, plus her inferiority complex.

She recollected herself and said to her, “There will be a banquet at my place on Sunday night. Why don’t you come by then? Give me your address, I will send a chauffeur to go pick you up. You can quit your job here now.”

“Okay.”

She casually brought up Jiang YaGe, “Oh, right, where’s your friend? Is she off today?” She paused a little and added a plausible explanation. “She looked like someone that a friend had been looking for for her magazine. I thought I could refer her to my friend.”

Zhong Yi shook her head. “YaGe took the day off. But I will let her know.”

Fang JunRong was just asking. Judging from the fact that she had taken the time off, more likely than not, Li WangJin had already told her that he’d be adopting her.
