Chapter 4
Chapter 4 – So They Have Never Been A Family Since The Very Beginning (2)
In her previous life, she had slowly handed over her business to her son. By the time she realized it, her bbq son had already swapped out all of her trusted ones. She had lost all of her capital to fight with them and lost everything that she had.
She gave her good friend Xu WeiWei a call and set a time to meet up with her on Saturday afternoon. Fang JunRong booked a private room at “White Crane”, a club that she frequented.
Before their meeting, she had looked over all of their properties – they had a total of 16 shops, all of them at fairly decent locations. Just these shops already added up to over a billion. Mansions and other houses under her name probably added up to another $4 billion. All the houses that they had purchased were put under Fang JunRong’s name. That was part of the reason for Li WangJin’s reputation of being a great man, and many took his side during their divorce.
She let out a long sigh. Luckily, she hasn’t given away all these houses yet. In her previous life, she had divided up their houses into two sets and gave them to her son and daughter on her daughter’s debutante. Later on, Li WangJin had convinced XinJun to also give him her share in the name of investment.

Thinking of that, Fang JunRong’s hatred for Li WangJin deepened.
During this lifetime, she would not give away her houses and her shops no matter what.
She had recollected her emotions and watched coldly when Li WangJin busied himself in getting the room ready for Jiang YaGe. He wanted to arrange Jiang YaGe’s room on the second floor next to Li ShiZe’s, but Fang JunRong interrupted and assigned her a different room on the first floor instead.
When Saturday came, she drove to White Crane, a very famous club in City S, after lunch. Her good friend Xu WeiWei had arrived, after she had waited for about ten minutes or so and. Xu WeiWei even brought her laptop. Wearing her hair short, she looked like a very competent business woman.
As soon as she sat down, Xu WeiWei immediately turned on her computer and pulled out an USB drive. “Even if you hadn’t contacted me, there’s something that I wanted to talk to you about.”
She was a very meticulous person, and she stored the important information separately on an USB drive.
In her past life, Fang JunRong missed Xu WeiWei the most after her daughter. Xu WeiWei and her had been friends for over 20 years. Because of her, Li WangJin even dragged Xu WeiWei into their matters, and she ended up in jail for a crime that she never committed. Fang JunRong had always felt guilty over that.
“What is it?”
She felt perplexed. She didn’t remember this bit in her previous life.
Xu WeiWei opened up a file, hesitated a little, and finally went ahead, “Over the last few years, CEO Li had spent a lot of the company’s money in buying antiques and paintings. The amount was pretty sizable.”
Fang JunRong seemed to recall vaguely that Xu WeiWei had mentioned this to her in her previous life. She didn’t think it was important at the time and got into a little bit of a riff with Xu WeiWei. No wonder she had stopped bringing it up afterward.
Li WangJin seemed to have fallen for antiques and paintings since ten years ago, and he even started a company that took care of matters related to those for him. He was especially fond of the paintings by a Xu FangWeng, and he had spent a lot of money on his work. The odd thing was that as much as Li WangJin had collected, he had never had a show but just kept all of the paintings inside his mansion.
Fang JunRong looked more solemn now. “How much has he spent so far?”
“I have done some preliminary calculations. He had spent close to $3.6B in this area over the last ten years,” replied Xu WeiWei.
Even though Fang JunRong had prepared herself, she still changed colors. That was definitely an amount higher than she had expected.
The Li’s might be rich, but $3.6B was not a small amount. And he had the audacity to criticize his daughter for overspending?
“I know it’s not my place to say this, but I think I should let you know something else…” said Xu WeiWei in a low voice.
