Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 5 – So They Have Never Been A Family Since The Very Beginning (3)

Xu WeiWei had just noticed this abnormality when she was combing through the finance this year. She hesitated for a little bit and decided that she should share this with her good friend.

Fang JunRong looked through the file prepared by Xu WeiWei carefully and finally her sight locked onto one line.

“Red-Crowned Crane”, $150 million.

This was purchased by Li WangJin three years ago.

The “Red-Crowned Crane” was arguably the famed artist Xu FangWeng’s most well-known work. Fang JunRong had seen the actual item before, at her uncle’s manager Old Mr. Zhang’s place. She was quite certain that under no circumstances would Old Mr. Zhang resell this piece of artwork. Li WangJin was with her at the time and had also seen it.

What this meant was that the painting that he purchased was doubtless a counterfeit. He spent $150 million on a counterfeit painting? That’d make him a water-brain idiot. Is Li WangJin an idiot? Didn’t look like it.

Then there’s only one explanation left. Li WangJin had been using this as an excuse to shift all the money from the company into his personal account all these years. In her previous life, Li WangJin gave his art collection to their daughter Li XinYun during their divorce. Fang JunRong, at the time, thought that he still cared about his daughter after all. As it turned out, he was just giving her a stack of garbage.

Thinking of that, her stomach content started to roil and the feeling of disgust bubbled up nonstop.

Even though she was quite certain about her speculation, she still needed more evidence. Fang JunRong called up Uncle Zhang, the rightful owner of “Red-Crowned Crane”. He was also a loyal fan of Xu FengWeng and knew quite a bit about the artist and the whereabouts of some of his other works.

She inquired about a few of other Xu FengWeng’s other works and found out for sure that a few of the paintings on the list were in the hands of some of Uncle Zhang’s friends.

After she hung up the phone, Fang JunRong laughed. A sarcastic laugh. Nobody knew if she was laughing at Li WangJin or herself, perhaps a little bit of both. She had always thought that their issues began after Jiang YaGe had joined them; she hadn’t expected that he had started plotting against their assets since ten years ago, in a quiet and seemingly harmless way.

So they have never truly been a family from the very beginning. He had started this ten years ago, what a patient man that he was.

Xu WeiWei was a smart person. She had a good idea what was going on from Fang JunRong’s phone call. Anger was obvious on her face, but she tried to control herself in front of Fang JunRong. “What do you want to do? You want to divorce him?”

She knew her good friend well. Now that Fang JunRong had found out that the man sleeping next to her every night had been plotting, she for sure would not let this go easily.

“He must have an accomplice who helped him with all these counterfeits in order to have acquired all these seamlessly over the years,” said Fang JunRong. And, knowing how careful a person Li WangJin was, he wouldn’t have a lot of accomplices either. After all, the more people knew about it, the higher the chance that it would be leaked.

She paused for a second and her squinted eyes seemed cold. “Let’s find that person first and have him paint a few more.”

“So he likes counterfeits, right? We will let him buy to his heart’s content then.”

When the two of them get divorced, these counterfeits would go to him. After all, she’s a nice person. A nice person doesn’t take away the things that someone else loves.
