Chapter 18: Best Decision Yet
"That's why I've always told you that you can't listen to the sweet words of men. Just look, Li WangJin did so well in the past, yet his true self is coming out now. I don't understand where his bar is. Why would he like a woman like her? Don't feel too bad; I trust he isn't serious about her. He would never want to divorce you." Sun Mei might be comforting her verbally, but her look suggested otherwise. She had asked Fang JunRong out and couldn't wait to show her the video clip. Sun Mei got thirsty from talking so much and sipped her beverage. She wasn't too happy with the quiet Fang JunRong. Fang JunRong neither cried nor said anything; just watched the video attentively. That made Sun Mei feel that she had punched cotton. "Isn't there something you want to say?"
Fang JunRong finally looked up at her and said, "Truth be told, I had felt that something wasn't right as of late, but I chose to believe him."
Sun Mei snickered. "If men's words are trustworthy then pigs can fly." As she was talking, she had lost her interest. She had wanted to show Fang JunRong Li WangJin's true colors so she could one-up Fang JunRong. But when it happened, she wasn't as excited as she anticipated.
"I would never have guessed the person he is having an affair with is YaGe's aunt." It was unfortunate that Fang JunRong wasn't able to cry right now. A few drops of tears would make this seem more convincing.
Even though the Li's had never officially introduced Jiang YaGe and Zhong Yi, Li WangJin was so doting to Jiang YaGe that he had taken her out plenty of times. As such, most of those in their circle knew that Jiang YaGe was their adopted daughter.
Sun Mei shook her head and started embellishing. "Just look at her. She just has the look of an ungrateful, natural-born
Fang JunRong asked her to send her a copy of the video, and of course, Sun Mei was more than willing to do that. Once she had the video clip, Fang JunRong stood up and said, "Okay, I am going to take off now. Thank you so much today."
Her tone was mild, but Sun Mei, somehow, heard the storm that was to come. She felt very high-spirited and offered, "Would you like me to accompany you home?" She had already envisioned how the two of them would be fighting with each other and was starting to get excited over it.
Fang JunRong tightened her lips and said, "No, that's alright."
She thanked Sun Mei and left. Looking behind her, she saw that Sun Mei had pulled out her phone. Sun Mei started calling her mahjong friends and planned to share the story with them. She had always been a blabbermouth, especially after Li WangJin had offended her. She wanted her revenge.
----------
Fang JunRong went back to the Fangs. Her parents passed away early, and both she and her brother were raised by her grandmother. The two of them were very close to each other. She needed to give her brother a heads-up if she was to divorce Li WangJin. In her previous life, her brother sided with her and was further oppressed by Li WangJin and his son, causing his company to go belly up. She didn't know what happened to him in her last life but figured it couldn't have ended well.
The Fang's main line of business is clothing and accessories. Her sister-in-law, especially, was a well-known clothing designer. Fang JunRong's sister-in-law was her class sister in her college club; the two were also close. She called her brother and sister-in-law, so they were home when she arrived.
Yang Xi had just returned from an overseas trip a few days ago. Her eyes lit up when she saw Fang JunRong. "You are looking better and better. Are you using a different brand of skin care products?" As a woman, who didn't want to look younger and prettier?
"I have taken new beautifying pills lately. I'll send you some in a few days," said Fang JunRong. She had produced more already and had been storing them in her jade dimension.
Feng XueBo looked a lot like their grandfather. He was plain-looking but had a good temperament. He looked more like a scholar than a businessman. Smiling, he looked at the two women chatting with each other before he said, "What brought you home all of a sudden?"
As far as he was concerned, even after his sister had been married for 20 years, she was still family. He would always care about her.
"Oh, I just wanted to talk about my divorce with you two," said Fang JunRong calmly.
Feng XueBo's face dropped.
Without further ado, Fang JunRong just showed them the video with audio. Naturally, that'd be embarrassing, but instead it infuriated the couple.
After the rage, Fang XueBo looked much more severe. "Are you sure a divorce is what you want?"
Fang JunRong nodded, "The signs had been there for a while now. He had never liked me meddling in the company and his attitude toward me was perfunctory at best. Since Jiang YaGe's arrival, he had treated her better than XinYun. He puts down XinYun all the time. He always puts Jiang YaGe above everything else."
As she listed everything out, Fang XueBo got angrier and angrier. He just wanted to beat up his brother-in-law – no, soon-to-be ex-brother-in-law.
"What about the two children?" Fang JunRong's two children were Yang Xi's biggest worry.
"One is in college, and the other just finished her college entry examination. I wouldn't have to worry about affecting their school work."
Listening to what she had said, Fang XueBo had a curious feeling – why did he get the feeling that his sister had been waiting for this day for a while? No, it must be just his imagination. His sister has always been docile. And if she had changed, it'd be all Li WangJin's fault.
In the time following, Fang JunRong discussed items related to the divorce with her brother. Fang XueBo was most concerned about the division of their assets; he didn't want his sister to get the short end of the stick. Nevertheless, considering the video, he figured Li WangJin, as the wrongful side, probably wouldn't be too adamant unless he was willing to give up all the good reputation he had built over the years.
After they had completed their initial discussion, Fang XueBo and Fang JunRong headed toward Li's mansion together.
When they arrived, Li WangJin and Jiang YaGe were just about to have dinner, her BBQ-Pork at her side. The three seemed so cozy and peaceful.
Li WangJin even had a rare smile and soft-spoken to Jiang YaGe. When he heard footsteps and saw Fang JunRong, his smile froze on his face briefly. He regained his composure quickly and said, "JunRong, you are home. Have you had dinner yet? I thought you were going to dine out?"
Fang JunRong snickered and said, "I didn't have an appetite for dinner. I was too upset."
Fang XueBo also looked at Li WangJin with disgust. In his mind, he had already slapped the label of "hypocrite" on his brother-in-law.
Li WangJin was no fool. He could feel the anger directed at him. He frowned and asked, "Who crossed you?"
Fang JunRong walked in front of them. She eyed the bottle of red wine on the table and grabbed it. She cast a cold look at Li WangJin, which made him shudder. He reflexively wanted to say something but the next second, the bottle turned.
Li WangJin was stunned. He thought he was dreaming. He had been married to Fang JunRong for many years. Despite some arguments here and there, they had always stayed on the verbal level. They had never gotten physical. Red wine dripped down from his hair, all over his face and clothes. He had never been in such bad shape before. The chilling feel of the fluid reminded him that this wasn't a dream. Just a moment ago, his wife had poured red wine all over him. After he recovered, the anger burning inside of him made him look ferocious. "You! How dare you!"
Fang JunRong smiled in response. She would use her action to let him know that not only did she dare. She even dared to do it more than once. Another bottle of red wine splashed on his face. The chilled red wine made him shudder reflexively. As he hadn't expected Fang JunRong to do it a second time, he couldn't dodge the second time either.
Li ShiZe's brows couldn't have furrowed more. His tone was unpleasant and with complaint. "Mom, stop being so unreasonable."
Jiang YaGe's voice was weak. "Mom, are you in a bad mood?"
Li WangJin wiped his face with his hand, "Just because you are in a bad mood doesn't mean you can take it out on me! What is wrong with you today?"
If he didn't care about his image in front of his brother-in-law and his children, Li WangJin wouldn't have stopped there. His hands were shaking from anger.
Fang JunRong turned on her cellphone and played the video. She thrust the screen forward, almost directly onto Li WangJin's face. A fake smile on her face, she said to him, "Wang SiXian is skillful, I take it. Just look at how much you were enjoying yourself."
The enraged Li WangJin was petrified, and his look froze when he saw the high-def screen. He looked like a quail with its neck pinched.
Blood had left Jiang YaGe's face, and her body started to shake. She looked like she could pass out any minute. "You… what are you talking about?"
Fang JunRong cast a sharp look in her direction. "Oh, I took you in because I felt pity because your parents passed away. But all I did was get myself a white-eyed wolf. I see how it is. You sent your aunt straight to his bed in order to secure your status. No wonder Li WangJin was spoiling you more than he did XinYun. All because your aunt had been whispering into his ears." Of course, Fang JunRong knew why Li WangJin was so biased to Jiang YaGe, but that didn't mean she couldn't say what she wanted to. Besides, Jiang YaGe probably has the idea anyway; why else would she repeatedly cover up for them?
Li ShiZe looked at the pale Jiang YaGe in disbelief and asked with difficulty, "Is there some sort of misunderstanding?" As mature as he was, Li ShiZe was still only 19-years-old. He had yet to become the calm and composed man that he became in Fang JunRong's memory.
Fang JunRong smiled, but the smile had no emotions behind it. She walked up, turned on the projector in the living room, and cast the video from her cell phone directly to it.
Li WangJin's eyes widened. He wanted to stop his wife, but Fang XueBo stopped him. He could do nothing but stand there and watch the action film starring him and Wang SiXian. The air-conditioning was blowing full force in the house, but he was drenched. His mind went blank, and he had no idea what to do or say.
Jiang YaGe could no longer support herself; she collapsed onto the chair.
Fang JunRong said expressionlessly. "I want a divorce. You disgust me."
