Chapter 154 - He will never sell his son to an old woman! (2)
Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law
Fang JunRong almost laughed out loud and rated Jiang DeXian highly in her mind immediately. Excellent. Just for that fact that he had irritated Li WangJin so much, she decided to pay him an extra bonus!
She gave Jiang DeXian a very satisfied look.
Li WangJin balled his hands into fists and wanted to run up there and give him a good beating. At that very moment in time, Jiang DeXian had surpassed many to take the spot of his top spot of his number one enemy.
Zhang Bi walked up, put his hand over Li WangJinâs shoulder and stopped him.
He said in a low voice. âIf you make a scene here, I am going to toss you out.â
The invitation there didnât come easily. He didnât want to offend Zhang ZhiSu, the host, because Li WangJin made a scene.
Li WangJin calmed down immediately. âI wonât.â
Heâd lose all his face if he was to be thrown out from there. He turned around and walked away quickly without giving Fang JunRong another look.
Zhang Bi nodded slightly at Fang JunRong and gave her an apologetic look.
Fang JunRong couldnât be bothered by him and carried on eating her cookies.
After a couple more, she looked up at Jiang DeXian and said to him. âThat was a pretty good job on our part.â He chimed in at just the perfect moment and worked very well with her.
âI had wanted to be an actor once and had always rehearsed different scenes in my head,â said Jiang DeXian as though he was explaining to her why he was able to excel there.
Fang JunRong chuckled and said, âVery well then.â
If Jiang DeXian was still interested in acting, she could very well contact a couple friends of hers in the entertainment circle and have him audition for some suitable roles. Even if he couldnât act, heâd be able to play himself with that look of his.

On the other side, Li WangJin, who walked away from Fang JunRong, suppressed his anger and put on a friendly smile. Walking next to Zhang Bi, he planned to take this opportunity to meet others and build his network.
Itâd be even better if he could find someone whoâd be willing to work with him. He suspected that the Beautify Pillsâs formula was incomplete and they were missing one key ingredient. If he was able to find another partner and, given enough time, heâd be able to figure that missing ingredient.
What upset him even more was that the few individuals that he wanted to network with all snubbed him and a few of them even took a page from Fang JunRongâs book and purposefully referred to him as President Li.
After only half an hour, he understood what a cold world it was that he lived in and was disheartened by how quickly these people would flip to the other side.
One couldnât really fault these individuals too much. Any one with half a brain could see that Li WangJin was done for. He was at least the President of Ayron in the past and many would at least show him some respect because of that. Now he was just a shareholder, and one that the others wanted to shunt at that. He certainly wasnât someone that one would want to be associated with.
Zhang Bi wasnât too happy about that either. He felt that he, too was getting no respect from the others. Li WangJin was, after all, a guest of his.
If he was the housemaster of the Zhangâs, heâd definitely made his point on this. But he wasnât even a heir right now. Not to mention the big setback that he had just suffered over the Cherry Blossom Pills. His status was not steady right now and he really couldnât afford to offend any of these individuals. He had no choice but to swallow his pride. Even the invitation to this event he had to get it through Zhang ZhiYang, a cousin of Zhang ZhiSu.
He still has his pride and couldnât stand the cold looks from the others so he walked over and sat in a corner.
This was supposed to be a lively banquet but Zhang Bi and Li WangJin were like the loser alliance who were unable to blend in.
