Chapter 54

Her calm voice exploded like a thunder next to Li WangJin’s ears.

“No! I will not have a divorce!” His voice was very determined. Even though he had thought about a divorce previously, now wasn’t the time yet. If they divorce now, he stood to lose too much.

“JunRong, that was an accident.” His voice was hoarse. “We were both drunk that day.”

Fang JunRong pulled out a stack of photos from her purse and aimed them straight at his face. “Oh, were you also drunk when you two were hugging?”

She had gotten all the pictures from Sun Mei.

Li WangJin opened his mouth a bit. “I…” He looked over at his son reflexively and hoped that Li ShiZe would help defend him. He knew very well how important her children were to her.

Li ShiZe received his dad’s look and sighed inwardly. He understood why his father, as a man, would want to cheat on his mother. But, it was pretty bad form to cheat with someone who’s so close to home. And his mother was too overly rash for wanting a divorce over something like this. Just the thought that his family matters would turn into fodder for gossiping in their circle made Li ShiZe very uncomfortable.

He looked over at Jiang YaGe. Jiang YaGe was in a trance and looked deeply sorrowful. She muttered to herself, “How could aunty do something like that? How could she do that to me?”

Looking at her, Li ShiZe’s anger lessened. Not only was his mother the victim of this, YaGe was as well. YaGe has the tendency to feel that she was responsible for everything that had happened. Now that she had found out about this, she must feel very awful.

He couldn’t help but speak up for her, “Mom, YaGe is innocent.”

Fang XueBo, who was upset at Li WangJin, whipped his head around when he heard that. His tone was off. “You are on her side?”

Fang JunRong had already gotten used to his love-trumps-all attitude. Plus, having been reborn, she no longer looked at him as her son. Which was why she was still very calm after hearing that and didn’t feel hurt at all.

Fang XueBo was not quite the same as her. He had always had a good impression about this nephew. He never would have thought that after Li WangJin’s disgusting behavior and Jiang YaGe’s obvious involvement in this whole thing, Li ShiZe sided with the white-eyed wolf instead of his own mother.

Jiang YaGe gave Li ShiZe an appreciative look and said softly, “You don’t need to speak up for me. It was my own fault. Had I noticed it sooner, I would for sure have tried to stop them. It is my place to be on the receiving end of mom’s anger.”

Her weak voice plus her pale look made her look like a fragile flower under a storm. Li ShiZe’s heart ached even more. His voice was even more decisive. He said to Fang JunRong with assertion, “Mom, this has nothing to do with YaGe. I understand that you are mad at Dad, but you shouldn’t take it out on YaGe.”

Fang JunRong glanced over at Jiang YaGe and said, “That’s right. Her eyes are mere decorations. She goes out with them everyday but hasn’t noticed a thing. If she isn’t going to use her eyes, she should just donate them.”

Li ShiZe frowned and said, “Mom, how could you say something like that? That would hurt YaGe so when she heard it.”

Fang JunRong has a certain level of admiration for Jiang YaGe. In just a mere month’s time after she had arrived, she was able to charm her BBQ-Pork son so. To a point that she was the only one he could see in his eyes.

She nodded and said, “Yes, I am cold and cruel. And someone as cruel and cold as me isn’t good enough to be your mother. No need to call me Mom anymore in the future.” She snickered and said, “Any way you look at it, I should be the biggest victim here being betrayed by both of them. But, for some reason, the harm done to me doesn’t measure up to Jiang YaGe’s tears. Fine, consider that I have raised a worthless son. It’s my own fault that I never learned how to cry.”

By the time she was done, her look was cold and she looked away from Li ShiZe.

Fang XueBo’s hands were shaking from anger. His nephew was a normal person before. Whatever had happened to him?
