Dad is Truly the Worst

According to the book, her bracelet contained a mystical place inside and could only open with her blood. The bracelet was handed down to her by her grandmother. She was her grandmother's favorite before she passed away. She had always kept the bracelet inside her safe, except that both her son and daughter knew the codes to her safe, which was why it wasn't hard for Li ShiZe to get his hand on the bracelet.

How dare her BBQ-Pork son steal her bracelet for Jiang YaGe? Most of her and her daughter's terrible end in her previous life was caused by him. What she couldn't figure out: Why did Li ShiZe steal it for Jiang YaGe out of the blue? He had plenty of money and could buy jewelry for her had he wanted to. Unfortunately, part wasn't acknowledged in the book; it only noted how happy Jiang YaGe was after receiving the bracelet.

She pulled out a small knife, cut her fingertip, and smeared her blood onto the bracelet. Her blood, however, never stained the bracelet. Instead, it soaked into it immediately and disappeared like it never happened. At the same time, she teleported to the same mystical mountain again.

Miraculously, after her blood had soaked through, the prescriptions on the tablet had changed a lot. It went from the original two to now three:

White Jade Cream: Can enhance muscle growth. It will not revive a person but will enhance growth from the bone.

Beautify Pill: As the name suggests, a prescription for skin care.

Detoxification Pill: Can remove toxins from the body.

There were a few items in these prescriptions that did not exist in the real world but were available in the mystical mountain. The Beautify Pill needed the water from the spring. In some ways, reading Jiang YaGe's novel allowed her to take a lot of shortcuts.

The reason that Jiang YaGe was able to recruit so many powerful supporters in her previous life was that she was the only one who could create these drugs and monopolize all three of them.

In this lifetime, she'd for sure keep the bracelet safe. Without the bracelet, she wondered how far Jiang YaGe could go.

After Fang JunRong collected several mystical herbs from the wonderland she went back to the real world. She then noticed her bracelet was gone. Technically, the bracelet was still there, but it turned into a faint green mark around her wrist. One has to look very carefully to know that it was there.

And, she could return to the wonderland with just a thought in her mind.

She let out a sigh of relief. That's good. This way she wouldn't have to worry about it getting stolen again. Plus, the bracelet could also double as storage. She could put in there some of her favorite jewelry and housing deeds.

She left the house the next day to another property and created all three types of prescriptions by herself. Precision during the process was important. She was very careful every step of the way and succeeded. The final products, as Fang JunRong had noticed, also had an oddly refreshing scent, especially the Detoxification Pill. Just a whiff of it would make one feel awake with more energy.

Fang JunRong was cautious, though, this was her first time after all. She couldn't be entirely sure that she made no mistake during the process. She bought some small animals and tested out all three types of drugs. She must say that the prescriptions from the wonderland were extraordinary. New flesh started to grow just one day after the White Jade Cream was applied. The Detoxification Pill was marvelous as well. A rabbit on the brink of dying from poison regained its energy shortly after having the pill.

As for the Beauty Pills, she couldn't tell the effects on the animals, but judging from the fact that they were still bouncing around after taking them, she knew it was probably safe to eat. Fang JunRong decided to take it herself. When push came to shove, she still had the Detoxification Pill.

After taking the pills for three days in a row, she noticed that her skin had tightened and was a shade lighter than before. She looked like she had a filter on. All women liked to be pretty. One could imagine how crazy the general public would be once it hit the market. Just to be safe, she had taken a trip to the doctor.

By the time she had finished experimenting with these three types of drugs, a week had gone by. She was in the habit of traveling overseas, so nobody suspected anything when they hadn't seen her for a week. At most, they'd ask her a few questions here and there.

When she went home, her daughter XinYun was sitting on the couch, and "I am furious" was written all over her. Jiang YaGe was standing nearby with a look of embarrassment. Li WangJin was waiting next to XinYun with the same intensity of anger.

"I had spoiled you so. That's why you have become such a selfish person. Why can't you be more like YaGe?"

Li XinYun exploded. "I had been planning for my birthday banquet for months! Why should I cancel it for her? I should be thoughtful of her? Then who's going to be thoughtful for me? I have already sent out the invitations to all of my friends!"

"Is YaGe not more important than those friends of yours? You can invite them again next year." Li WangJin also refused to give an inch. Veins pulsed on his forehead, and he had reached his limit.

"What is going on here?" Fang JunRong coldly interrupted the explosive atmosphere. She knew full well what was going on. This same event had taken place in her previous life as well. XinYun's birthday was also the anniversary of Jiang YaGe's parents' death. Li WangJin had canceled it, justifying he didn't want Jiang YaGe to be upset with the celebration on that day.

Fang JunRong hadn't agreed to cancel it then, and she got into a big fight with Li WangJin. But Li WangJin personally contacted all the guests to call off the event before anyone could further argue. XinYun completely hated Jiang YaGe after this incident and antagonized her going forward.

Li WangJin tried to suppress his anger and said, "Look at her, fighting with me day in and day out. That's not how a girl should behave. I think we have spoiled her too much before. That's why she is so disrespectful to her elders now."

Fang JunRong wasn't going to remain silent. "XinYun is very respectful to me. If you don't want a daughter like her, I can leave with her right now." Fang JunRong regretted not encouraging her daughter to go on a short trip before she took off to do her experiments. That way, XinYun wouldn't have to stay home and put up with this.

Li WangJin's look turned blank all of a sudden. His voice weakened, "That's not what I meant."

Jiang YaGe wore a very reasonable look and said, "Don't fight with little sister over me, Dad. It's my fault."

Fang JunRong nodded and said, "Yes, it is your fault. WangJin had never scolded XinYun like that before you came." Li WangJin had never been a great father, but he had always put up the front in the past.

Li XinYun glowered at Jiang YaGe, "Exactly. My dad has been picking on me day in and day out ever since you've come. I think he wishes that you were his daughter instead."

Li XinYun had never been treated like this before.

Because Fang JunRong was here now, Li WangJin dared not act the same way as he did earlier. His tone mellowed out a lot, "XinYun's birthday is August 16, the same day YaGe's parents passed away. I thought we could cancel the birthday party this year so we won't upset YaGe."

"Were YaGe's parents our elders as well? Is that why our entire family needs to observe the anniversary of their death?"

What the hell was he talking about?

Li WangJin stumbled for words for a little and said, "That's not what I mean…"

Fang JunRong pursed her lips and asked, "Is this your idea or YaGe's?"

"It was my idea. YaGe never brought it up," said Li WangJin.

"How do you know YaGe wanted it canceled if you never asked her? Haven't you always been telling me how thoughtful and kind a person YaGe is? Would someone like that want to see XinYun sad by canceling the birthday party she has been looking forward to? I trust that's not the kind of person YaGe is."

Fang JunRong turned to look at Jiang YaGe and said to her, somewhat aggressively, "Am I right, YaGe?"

When this had gotten out in her previous life, everybody had learned the status of Jiang YaGe at the Li's. That had, however, inadvertently dealt damage to XinYun. Many made fun of the fact that the real Miss Li's status was lower than that of the adopted daughter.

Now Jiang YaGe was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she said she didn't want to see it happen, she would insult Li WangJin, who had stood up for her. If she said she was okay with it, then she would be an unpleasant person who didn't care about the feelings of Li XinYun. At a time like this, she chose to be a nice person.

"XinYun had been looking forward to this birthday banquet for a long time. There is no need to cancel it just for me. I know dad was worried about me, but XinYun's feelings should take precedence."

Jiang YaGe was Jiang YaGe after all. Not only was she able to make a split-second decision, but she managed to create a self-sacrifice and considerate image through compromising. Looking at her reddened eyes, Li WangJin suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

Fang JunRong nodded. "And that's why, WangJin, you shouldn't always do these things while disregarding others' feelings. Why would you do such a thing? You made XinYun and YaGe feel bad at the same time."

Li WangJin felt very frustrated that he wasn't able to defend himself.

"And you just called XinYun selfish. Don't you think you owe her an apology?"

Li WangJin opened his mouth but couldn't force out the words "I am sorry." He's the father here. Why did he need to apologize to his daughter? And then's XinYun; she should be helping him by saying something to smooth out the situation. That kid had spent too much time with JunRong since she was just a child. She was never that close to him.

When he looked over at Fang JunRong, he wasn't sure if he was just imagining it, but JunRong seemed even prettier than before. Nonetheless, the way she was toward him was even colder than usual. Was it because of YaGe? It was her idea to adopt YaGe in the first place. So why was she unhappy about it now?

YaGe said immediately, "I will apologize on Dad's behalf."

Fang JunRong replied, "Who'd have someone else apologize for themselves? YaGe, you are a reasonable person. You should know that."

Jiang YaGe had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Li WangJin couldn't bring himself to ignore his pride and apologize to XinYun after all. He finally threw down an "I need to attend a meeting. I am taking off now." Before leaving.

Fang JunRong watched him run off, amused. She suddenly felt pity for her old self. In the end, Li WangJin was a hypocritical person who wanted to put up a front on the outside to seem like a nice guy. As long as she could exploit that, his hands would be tied.

She said to Li XinYun, "I brought you some gifts. Come upstairs with me."

Li XinYun, who felt redeemed watching her mother talk down her father for her, quickly stood up, passionately put her arms around Fang JunRong's, and said, "Okay. Mom is always the best."

Jiang YaGe wanted to say something more yet could do nothing except watch on while Fang JunRong acted like she wasn't there at all. She felt very wronged. She had already taken a step back; why didn't she at least get a good word in return?

She thought since Fang JunRong decided to adopt her. She'd be nice to her. But now it looked like there was a difference between the adopted daughter and the biological daughter. No matter how hard she struggled or how unreasonable everyone else was, she'd never measure up to Li XinYun.
