Chapter 12 - Looking at how the scene was unfolding, Li WangJin felt that he’d need some nitroglycerin (1)
Jiang YaGe’s turned a little pale. She looked over at Li WangJin and Li ShiZe reflexively. She was worried that she’d see a look of disgust on them.
She was so happy when she got the call from Uncle Li. She didn’t think someone who was orphaned and being targeted from all directions would have the luck to become the adopted daughter of the Li’s. She had seen Uncle Li’s picture and knew that he was one of the top wealthiest people in the country. She had further looked him up on the web and learned that Fang JunRong was his wife. She just hadn’t expected her to freely point out that she had worked at White Crane the moment that they’ve met right in front of everyone else.
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of grievance. She only worked there for her tuition; not like Zhong Yi at all. Even though she worked at a place like that, she had always taken the precautions to protect herself and not let herself be corrupted. Nor had she ever associated herself with any of the wealthy men outside of work.
Her eyes reddened, and her tears rolled around in them.
Li WangJin had on him a look of disbelief, as though someone had just b*tch slapped him. His well-maintained features twisted on his face, and he had lost all his usual elegance. He had talked down so much on people from the clubs, only to find out that the girl whom he thought of as his own daughter had also worked at a place like that. But YaGe was such an innocent and kind-looking girl!
No. He must believe in YaGe. She was not like the others. She must have her own reasons for doing that.
He took a deep breath and finally was able to sort out his emotions. Before he was able to say anything, Fang JunRong had already beat him to the punch, and her words sounded all so familiar at that.
“What kind of a nice girl would work at a place like that?
“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.”
She remembered what Li WangJin had said clearly, and now she could repeat them word by word.
Jiang YaGe was so hurt by those caustic words that tears rolled down her cheeks right then and there. Her body shook and made her look all the more pitiful.
After Fang JunRong had repeated all of Li WangJin words from earlier, she finally slowly added, “Oh, that’s what your Uncle Li said earlier. I told him he should not have preconceptions about people, but he just wouldn’t listen. I trust that you are both good kids. Especially Zhong Yi, she only worked there for her grandmother’s medical bills. She’s so pure coming out of the place like that.”
Li WangJin was completely speechless. He hadn’t expected that his wife would just blurt out all of those words right in front of YaGe with no regard. Had he known that YaGe had worked at places like that, he would never have said what he said. Great, YaGe might have misunderstood him now.
“I trust YaGe’s character. She must have her reasons.”
Jiang YaGe found her voice once again and said, “I… I worked there for my tuition.”
Li WangJin let out a sigh of relief. He was just about to praise her when his daughter chimed in.
“For your tuition? You can’t even afford to pay for your tuition?”
Jiang YaGe sniffled, looking like she was going to cry again anytime and said, “My uncle and my other relatives had taken away all the money that my parents had left for me.”
Li WangJin was angry for her. “Your uncle is such an evil person!”
“Then why didn’t you apply for a student loan? Isn’t that very easy to get?” said Li XinYun.
Jiang YaGe, “……”
She didn’t want others to look at her that way. Never mind a student loan, she didn’t even apply for financial aid.
