Chapter 13 - Looking at how the scene was unfolding, Li WangJin felt that he’d need some nitroglycerin (2)
Fang JunRong really wanted to laugh out loud. Li XinYun was her precious daughter after all, getting straight to the point. But judging by the way that Jiang YaGe dressed, it wasn’t difficult to see that most of the money that she had made went there. It was obviously that Li WangJin did not buy her the outfit that she was wearing today. Li WangJin was a man. He would not have thought about something like that.
Neither her clothes or her shoes were of the expensive brands, but the entire set probably cost upward of $5,000.
Li XinYun went on, “I thought you get good grades at school. Couldn’t you have gotten a scholarship?”
Jiang YaGe, “……”
It was lucky that she even got into this prestigious school, never mind having grades that were good enough for a scholarship.
Fang JunRong smiled slightly and said, “I seem to recall that Zhong Yi has a scholarship?”
Zhong Yi took a look at her good friend and quickly added, “I lucked out and got decent grades.” She has been keeping up with her studying every day after work. Plus, she was a pretty smart girl, and her grades had always been pretty good.
Li XinYun took a look at her father. Her voice was slightly accusatory as she said, “Dad, you’ve always been bragging about YaGe-jiejie’s grades in front of me and said that I should learn from her. But she couldn’t even get a scholarship. What kind of a cum laude is she? She’s not like big brother who gets the top honor every year. Now, that’s what I’d call a cum laude.”
Li XinYun didn’t like Jiang YaGe much as her father had been singing Jiang YaGe’s praises in front of her for the last few days. And not just praising Jiang YaGe; he must beat her down to contrast her with Jiang YaGe. She got pretty decent grades at the college entrance examination as well and also got into one of the prominent colleges. What was so bad about her? She was a little happy that she was able to gain back some lost ground today. Plus, over the last few days, she was able to pick up some signs that the relationship between her parents wasn’t as good as they were in the past.
And, right at this moment, the person who felt the most awkward, other than Jiang YaGe, was Li WangJin. He couldn’t possibly tell his daughter that in his eyes, everything about Jiang YaGe was good.
He took a look at Jiang YaGe and let out a light sigh. Jiang YaGe, after all, wasn’t as good as her mother. No matter how much they look alike, they were still two different people.
Looking at the scene unfolding in front of her, Fang JunRong was reminded of her previous life. Jiang YaGe’s arrival in her previous life wasn’t at all like this. Li WangJin raved about her, and her BBQ-pork son grew fond of her; the setting was quite harmonious.
She lifted the corners of her mouth a little and said, “Alright, the two kids had just got here. I know that you want to teach them what’s right and what’s wrong, but there’s no rush. I know that you are blunt and you only had their best interest in mind when you say those hurtful words. But we don’t want them to have a misconception about you now.”
Hearing that, Li WangJin almost puked out blood. How did she make it sound like it was all his fault? He felt stifled but couldn’t find the right words to talk back, so he could do nothing but to sit down in dismay.
