Chapter 11 – Fate Can Manifest Itself In Such An Interesting Way (3)

“Did you lose the business card at home?”

Zhong Yi shook her head and said, “No, I had it in the pocket of my uniform. It was gone the next day.” She regretted so much not bringing it home with her.

Fang JunRong thought of something. After she had returned, she called up Ning Qing, the owner of White Crane. Ning Qing and her were acquaintances, and she trusted that there would be security cameras in the employee’s lounge. The business card couldn’t get lost by itself. Perhaps, someone didn’t want to see Zhong Yi’s luck changed.

Fang JunRong hung up the phone with Ning Qing after promising to take her to lunch someday.

After that, Fang JunRong waited till Sunday’s arrival. Both Li WangJin and the kids would be home that day. Fang JunRong took Li XinYun for a makeover early that morning and made her look glamorous and perfect.

She pulled out a ruby necklace that she had purchased a couple of days ago and put it on her daughter. She had been spending a lot of money as of late. Perhaps Li WangJin had a guilty conscience, so as much as he wasn’t happy about it, the most he’d do was to prompt that they should save some money for their son to start his business.

Like Fang JunRong cared what he had to say about it.

Li XinYun liked the necklace a lot. Even though she owned a lot of jewelry, a gem this size was still rare. That truly convinced her that her mother loved her the most and also made her able to remain calm and composed when her two new sisters arrived.

Zhong Yi arrived before Jiang YaGe. When Fang JunRong sent someone to pick her up, she also hired a makeup artist to help doll her up. She had on a fuchsia colored ball gown. She looked as glamorous as a peony in her dress and her being in and of itself was a gorgeous scene. It was obvious that she was a little nervous and was gripping onto her dress reflexively.

Obviously, her look wasn’t the type that Li WangJin and Li ShiZe father and son duo could appreciate. Especially Li WangJin, he had already frowned deeply.

Fang JunRong, on the other hand, was in a good mood. “Come over, Zhong Yi. This is your younger sister XinYun.”

Her voice slowly calmed Zhong Yi’s nerves. She walked in front of Li XinYun and said in a somewhat appeasing tone, “XinYun-meimei.”*

Li XinYun nicely curved her lips up a little and said, “Jiejie.”*

(T/N: Meimei – younger sister and jiejie – older sister)

Li WangJin said indifferently, “Now that you have joined the Li’s, you must keep in mind your status. You must lose those bad habits that you have picked up at those shady establishments.”

Obviously, he wanted to show who was the boss there.

Zhong Yi turned a little pale but dared not talk back.

Fang JunRong, on the other hand, wasn’t happy about it. She said, “I say Zhong Yi looks pretty good. She is pretty like a flower. Just looking at her is pleasing.”

Li WangJin said no more but just looked in the direction of the front door. He was obviously waiting for Jiang YaGe to show up.

In his desperate wait, Jiang YaGe finally arrived. She had on a white dress today and even her makeup was that of a young girl, fragile, pure, and attractive. Her lips that were the color of cherry blossoms made her appear especially lovable.

Li WangJin’s frown disappeared immediately when he saw Jiang YaGe. His voice couldn’t be any more tender, as though he might startle her inadvertently. “YaGe, you are here.”

Zhong Yi looked at her in disbelief. She didn’t know that her good friend, too, was being adopted by the Li’s.

Fang JunRong put on a surprised look at the right time and said, “Oh, hey, it’s you.”

Li WangJin asked, “JunRong, you have met YaGe before?”

Fang JunRong said in a most cheerful tone, “Oh yes. I met her at White Crane. She was working there alongside Zhong Yi. What a coincidence. Fate can manifest itself in such an interesting way.”
