Title: Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 19 - Mom is always the best (2)
By the time she had finished experimenting with these three types of drugs, a week had gone by. She was in the habit of travelling overseas from time to time, so nobody suspected anything when they hadn’t seen her for a week. At most, they’d ask her a few questions here and there.
When she went home, her daughter XinYun was sitting on the couch and “I am very angry” was written all over her. Jiang YaGe was standing nearby with a look of embarrassment. Li WangJin was waiting by XinYun with the same intensity of anger.
“I had spoiled you so. That’s why you have become such a selfish person. Why can’t you be more like YaGe?”
Li XinYun exploded. “I had been planning for my birthday banquet for months! Why should I cancel it for her? I should thoughtful for her? Who’s going to be thoughtful for me? I have already sent out the invitations to all of my friends!”
“Is YaGe not more important than those friends of yours? You can invite them again next year.” Li WangJin also refused to give an inch. Veins could be seen on his forehead, and he had reached his limit.
“What is going on here?” Fang JunRong interrupted the explosive atmosphere. She knew full well what was going on. This same event had taken place in her previous life as well. XinYun’s birthday was also the anniversary of Jiang YaGe’s parents’ death. Li WangJin had gone ahead and cancelled it using the reason that he didn’t want Jiang YaGe to be upset with the celebration on that day.
Fang JunRong didn’t agree to cancelling it back then, and she got into a big fight with Li WangJin. But Li WangJin acted preemptively and sent a notice of cancellation to all of the guests himself. XinYun completely hated Jiang YaGe after this incident and started to antagonize her going forward.
Li WangJin tried to suppress his anger and said, “Look at her, fighting with me day in and day out. That’s not how a girl should behave. I think we have spoiled her too much before. That’s why she is so disrespectful to her elders now.”
Fang JunRong wasn’t going to remain silent. “XinYun is very respectful to me. If you don’t want a daughter like her, I can leave with her right now.” Fang JunRong regretted not encouraging her daughter to go on a short trip before she took off to do her experiments. That way, XinYun wouldn’t have to stay home and put up with this.
Li WangJin’s look turned blank all of a sudden. His voice weakened and he said, “That’s not what I meant.”
Jiang YaGe put on a very reasonable look and said, “Don’t fight with little sister over me, dad. This is my fault.”
Fang JunRong nodded and said, “Yes, it is your fault. WangJin had never scolded XinYun like that before you came.” Li WangJin had never been a great father, but at least, he had always put up the front in the past.
Li XinYun gave Jiang YaGe a stare and said, “Exactly. My dad has been picking on me day in and day out ever since you’ve come. I think he wishes that you are his daughter instead.”
Li XinYun had never been treated like this before.
Perhaps, because Fang JunRong was here now, Li WangJin dared not act the same way as he did earlier. His tone mellowed out a lot and said, “XinYun’s birthday is August 16, the same day that YaGe’s parents passed away. I just thought we could cancel the birthday party this year so we won’t upset YaGe.”
“Were YaGe’s parents our elders as well? Is that why our entire family needs to observe the anniversary of their death?”
What the h*ll was he talking about?
Li WangJin stumbled for words for a little and said, “That’s not what I mean…”
Fang JunRong pursed her lips a little and asked, “Is this your idea or YaGe’s?”
“It was my idea. YaGe never brought it up,” said Li WangJin.
