Fang JunRong felt for sure that after Li ShiZe was turned down by her, he would go back to Li WangJin for help. But then, she heard it from a friend that the one investing in Li ShiZe was the Dengās, and it was Deng Lan, the Dengās least favorite daughter, at that.
She didnāt have a strong impression of Deng Lan from her previous life. She seemed to vaguely recall that Deng Lan was fond of her BBQ-pork son. She has a reasonable amount of a screen time in the novel. After the death of Fang JunRong, Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe had gotten married and became a loving couple that everybody else was envious about.
During Jiang YaGeās pregnancy, Deng Lan appeared in front of Jiang YaGe and became one of her best girlfriends. Using her care for Jiang YaGe as a disguise, she would make up rumors about Li ShiZe and other women, which caused Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe to fight all the time. Once, Jiang YaGe almost had a miscarriage from being too overly upset.
Unfortunately, she was too impatient. During a cold war between Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe and when Jiang YaGe had turned to alcohol for comfort, Deng Lan tried to sneak drugs into Jiang YaGeās drink to cause a miscarriage, but she was caught red handed by one of Jiang YaGeās suitors.
After that, the misunderstanding between Jiang YaGe and BBQ-pork son was resolved, and they were able to see Deng Lan as who she was. Finally, the Dengās were pushed to bankruptcy, and Deng Lan had stooped down to become Boss Meiās mistress. She was beaten up by his wife, and videos of her were recorded and uploaded onto the web, destroying her reputation.
Fang JunRong hadnāt expected that her rebirth would cause this type of butterfly effect and brought up the timeline of the meeting between Deng Lan and her BBQ-pork son. This time around, Deng Lan had become a business investor of his. She trusted that her BBQ-pork son would treat her differently than he had in her previous life.
Fang JunRong wasnāt particularly interested in the drama between the three of them and stopped thinking about it after she had finished lamenting. Li XinYun, on the other hand, came and gossiped with her about it.
āMom, do you still remember that Deng Lan girl? She attended my birthday banquet, and her attitude toward me was very odd. Iāve looked into it afterward. Turned out she was interested in Li ShiZe.ā
As she didnāt want to forgive Li ShiZe, she didnāt even want to refer to him as her brother but just referred to him by his name.
āEh? What about it?ā asked Fang JunRong, going along with her.
āThen she went and invested into Li ShiZeās project. She had been posting these pictures with Li ShiZe and her together, and they look sort of suggestive. And you know what else? She also hangs out with Jiang YaGe all the time, bragging that they are the best of buds.ā
āDid she not know about Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe?ā
Fang JunRong only knew about Deng Lanās investment in Li ShiZe, but not that, under the current situation in this lifetime, she would be hanging out with Jiang YaGe. That was so incredible.
Li XinYun opened up her friendsā circle to show to Fang JunRong.
All of Deng Lanās posts as of late were centered around Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe.
[Iāve just befriended Little Sister YaGe today. Little Sister YaGe is pretty and kind just like ShiZe had told me. Sheās so easy to get along with.]
[Little Sister YaGe made ShiZe and I some homemade cookies. She is truly clever and deft with her hands. The country owes me a cute little sister like her ~ She is so different than you know who. No wonder ShiZe dotes on her so.]
Fang JunRong frowned a little and looked over at her daughter. This āyou know whoā was obviously referred to Li XinYun. Her opinions toward this Deng Lan dropped all of a sudden. She couldnāt have just stopped at praising Jiang YaGe? She has to drag XinYun into this?
