Chapter 34



Chapter 34 – Who Tampered With Her Safe? (2)

In her previous life, when she found out about this, she spoke with Jiang YaGe and nicely gave her a reminder. Jiang YaGe turned around and ran and cried to Li WangJin and Li ShiZe. Suddenly, Fang JunRong had turned into the villainess elder who was slandering her.

During this lifetime, Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe could do whatever they wanted. It didn’t concern her whatsoever.

She had no interest in talking about Jiang YaGe and changed the subject. “Oh, by the way. When will the painting arrive? I remembered that we have already made the payment. I would love to appreciate Master Xu’s great work as well.”

Li WangJin froze in his spot. He Ming had already run off with the money. He didn’t leave any painting behind. Where was he supposed to find a “Snow by the River” from? He wouldn’t even be able to find another person to paint it for him with such short notice either. He didn’t want words to get out nor would he be able to immediately find another artist was an expert in counterfeit.

His lips quivered, and he wasn’t able to come up with anything after a long while.

Fang JunRong casted him a glance and asked, “Did something happen? Did the seller back out of the deal?”

How could Li WangJin possibly tell her the truth? He could only grit his teeth and said, “Yes, his money freed up and he backed out of it.”

He suddenly realized sadly that he would need to cough out whatever money left that he shored away for himself to fill the hole. Li WangJin was at loss all of a sudden. Did that mean his efforts over the years were all for nothing?

He felt particularly depressed and frustrated. His recent setback made him age a lot all of a sudden. He walked up the stairs weakly; his back looked dreary.

Naturally, Fang JunRong wasn’t going to feel bad for him. She returned to her own room cheerfully and eagerly wished that Li WangJin would go and seek comfort from Wang SiXian more often to allow her to collect more definitive evidence. She couldn’t tolerate being under the same roof with him for much longer.

Her good mood didn’t last very long. As soon as Fang JunRong walked inside her room, she noticed that her safe had been tampered with.

She had already emptied her safe out of all of her deeds and jewelries and moved them into her dimension, leaving just an empty shell in her bedroom. She tied a red knot on her safe – this knot was knitted by her daughter. It was crooked but it was the thought that counted, which was why Fang JunRong accepted it.

And now the knot was facing a different direction, indicating that her safe had been tampered with.

Fang JunRong did not have surveillance installed in her room, so she had no idea who was inside of her room. But she had some ideas – either Li ShiZe or Jiang YaGe. The odds of it being Li ShiZe was higher as he was the one who knew her passcode.

Her jade bracelet was stolen by her BBQ-pork son in her previous life and gifted to Jiang YaGe.

What Fang JunRong was even more curious about was how did Jiang YaGe know about the secret of the bracelet when she didn’t even know about it herself? To a point that she would go above and beyond to get her hands on it. When she read the novel, that was only mentioned in passing as if everything was but a coincidence. But she wasn’t one who believed in coincidences.

Now that Jiang YaGe wasn’t able to get a hold of the bracelet, there would probably be a round two.

Fang JunRong reflexively toyed with the barely visible mark of the bracelet around her wrist.

***

Jiang YaGe looked at the tall and handsome Li ShiZe with anticipation. She must admit that she has certain fondness towards him. He was the second nicest person to her after Uncle Li.

“ShiZe.”

Li ShiZe’s usual cold look softened up when he saw Jiang YaGe without him even noticing it. He wasn’t too fond of her originally when he found out where she had once worked. That was, until he had inadvertently found out she only worked there to help out a friend who was in dire need for money.
