âMom, wonât sister be upset if we suddenly follow her and disturb her like this?â Rong Weiwei sat obediently beside Jiang Meiqi, looking at the taxi not far away, her eyes flickering as she asked.
Upon hearing Rong Yanâs name, a look of disgust flashed across Jiang Meiqiâs face. She forcefully masked the disdain and said firmly with a tense face, âWhatâs there for her to be unhappy about? Iâm her mother, sheâs been back in the country for more than half a year, and she hasnât visited home once. A girl living outside all the time, not knowing who sheâs with, itâs my right to be concerned about where sheâs staying. If sheâs unhappy, it means I, as her mother, donât matter to her.â
Rong Weiwei wanted to say that now that Rong Yan had latched onto that man, she wouldnât think much of anyone. But the words just wouldnât come out when they reached her lips.
Everyone knew she had been having a tough time lately.
Because of what happened at last weekâs banquet, she had had a big fight with Shi Mufeng. It had been over a week, and Shi Mufeng hadnât contacted her.
Xin Lanye, because she failed to persuade Rong Yan to drop the lawsuit, and the courtâs decision was out, was very dissatisfied with her. Several times, during company meetings, she called her out, making it impossible for her to save face in public or private.
On top of that, she had lost three major opportunities: âReturn to Ning,â âThree Kingdoms,â and Director Stephenâs new film, and hadnât managed to secure the big budget tribute film at the Lin City banquet. Her resources were severely depleted, and her popularity had begun to show signs of instability. Worst of all, although the Lin City banquet was a private event with high standards and many of Lin Cityâs socialites, as well as several top celebrities in attendance, the incident of her being slapped in the face had spread through the grapevine from these peopleâs mouths.
The fact that Rong Yan was Li Shengxiaoâs girlfriend became known due to his influence. Everyone still had some reservations because of him and only dared to spread it on a small scale in private. But they didnât show the same restraint with her; gossip about her being loudly slapped in the face by Rong Yan was flying everywhere in the industry, making her feel like she was being looked at with strange eyes wherever she went.
This kind of feeling was something she hadnât experienced since she had solidified her position in the Rong Family.
Perhaps because it had been too long since she had felt this way, these past few days she felt almost driven mad. She absolutely didnât want to continue like this!
Rong Weiwei clenched her palm, biting her teeth hard. To prevent Jiang Meiqi from seeing the jealousy-distorted expression on her face, she bowed her head slightly, covering her face.
Jiang Meiqi saw her burying her head in silence and sighed, patting her shoulder and saying, âDonât worry, your mom is here. I wonât let you be wronged.â
âMom,â Rong Weiwei pressed down the jealousy that was about to spill out of her chest, her beautiful face showing a touched expression as she looked at her, a glint of moisture in her eyes, and hugged her, âThank you.â
She had intended to contact Rong Yan privately and ask her to take down the news release about the court victory from the internet. But when she used the phone number obtained through her agent and called, the person on the other end hung up as soon as they heard her voice.
When she called again, her mobile number had already been blacklisted!
If that little bitch could do this, then she had no choice but to seek help and make a personal visit.
Of course, she wasnât just having Jiang Meiqi visit to make Rong Yan hesitate, what mattered most was that she never expected Rong Yan would climb into bed with that man. Since Rong Yan was living outside, she was very likely staying with that manâ¦
What she wanted was never something simple!
