Chapter 14 - Looking at how the scene was unfolding, Li WangJin felt that hed need some nitroglycerin (3)

Fang JunRong put on her impeccable smile and was very articulate. She was able to quickly relax the both nervous Zhong Yi and Jiang YaGe. She further told them where their rooms would be and have their servants bring their suitcases into their respective rooms. Both Jiang YaGe and Zhong Yis rooms were on the first floor, quite a distance from Li ShiZes.

She didnt know was going through Li WangJins head in her previous life. He insisted that Jiang YaGe take the room next to Li ShiZes. She heard that Jiang YaGe had inadvertently walked into Li ShiZes room. Well, she didnt think Jiang YaGe would be able to make that mistake again during this lifetime.

After dinner, Fang JunRong pulled out the gifts that she had prepared ahead of time. As for Li WangJin, he probably didnt even think about it.

I have some welcoming gifts for the two of you.

What she had prepared for Zhong Yi was a set of gold jewellery. After all, Zhong Yi was the one who was more strapped for money. Gold has always been the acceptable currency. This set that she was gifting her cost at least $300,000. As she was expensing it on the companys book, she didnt feel a thing spending that kind of money.

As Jiang YeGe looked at the magnificent set of gold jewelries, Jiang YaGes eyes were filled with anticipation. She saw Fang JunRong handed her a box the next second. She accepted the box and noticed that it was very light in weight.

Eh. So light. This couldnt be jewelry then.

She opened it up and saw a painting. Jiang YaGe wasnt familiar with paintings, so she couldnt tell whos work it was, nor did she know how much it was worth.

Thats Li WangJin almost stopped breathing for a second there. His hands were trembling.

Fang JunRong smiled and said, Isnt this the work of Xu FangWeng? I like YaGe a lot, so I want her to have this. Havent you mentioned before that YaGe doesnt care about those common items? I felt that jewelries are too common, so I thought about it some and thought this would make a good gift for her.

She had already had someone appraised it and confirmed that this was a fake. Hoho. Itd be too wasteful to keep it herself, so she might as well recycle it and give it to Jiang YaGe. From now on, shed gift Jiang YaGe some of the imitation goods every year on her birthday. She might as well recycle and declutter.

Jiang YaGe had, indeed, heard of Xu FangWeng. This meant that this was very valuable. She was worried that Fang JunRong didnt like her much, but she felt much better after receiving this gift. This painting was probably more valuable than that jewelry set. No work of Xu FangWeng would go for below $500,000.

Thank you, Aunty. I like this gift a lot, and I will always treasure it.

Fang JunRong put on her perfect performance and said, Why are you still calling me Aunty? You should be calling me Mom.

Mom.

Jiang YaGe lowered her head. She looked a little shy, and her innocent face was filled with happiness. Her eyes sparkled like stars in the sky and made her look even more attractive.

Li ShiZe, who had been quiet the entire night was a little enthralled. Even though Jiang YaGe wasnt the prettiest girl he had ever seen and was at most decent, there was something special about her when she smiled. But, remembering that Jiang YaGe didnt even know to apply for financial aid, he couldnt help but also associate the label of idiot with her.

Looking at how the scene was unfolding, Li WangJin felt that hed need some nitroglycerin. He wanted to stop it from happening, but he couldnt come up with a good enough reason. He had no choice but to watch on as Jiang YaGe carefully put away the box in a cherish way.
