Chapter 509: Call Rong Nanfeng to pick up the person
Even though Jiang Meiqi looked down on Rong Yan, refused to acknowledge her identity, and secretly deemed her as an illegitimate child, when Li Shengxiao addressed her with the same “Mrs. Rong” as Rong Yan did, she couldn’t help but feel irritated. She glanced at Rong Yan surreptitiously, with a look that seemed to blame her for sowing discord and disrespect behind her back. Forcing a smile, she said, “There’s no big issue, I’m just here with Weiwei to apologize to Rong Yan. Weiwei did something wrong earlier, and it upset her sister. I believe it’s just a minor matter, and we can resolve it through private communication. That’s what I was talking to her about, right?”
Her “right?” was directed at Rong Yan, hinting for her to step in and mediate.
Of course, she also counted on Li Shengxiao’s return, guessing that Rong Yan wouldn’t dare reveal her worse side in front of him and that Rong Yan would pretend to be dignified and agree, on top of it, to let Weiwei’s online apology pass.
She thought she had a clever plan; however, she didn’t expect that before Rong Yan could speak, the distinguished man had already started, “Is Mrs. Rong referring to Rong Weiwei’s hiring of online trolls to slander my girlfriend?”
His directness made Jiang Meiqi momentarily lose face, embarrassingly looking elsewhere as she said, “Weiwei is young and sometimes naive; I’ve already scolded her. There were also some misunderstandings, and she didn’t really understand the online troll business—it was all her team’s doing. After she learned about it, she felt very guilty for not realizing it earlier and has been telling me she wants to apologize to her sister.”
“Sister, I’m really sorry,” Rong Weiwei immediately followed the lead and apologized to Rong Yan in front of Li Shengxiao.
Gu Ming watched the mother and daughter duo with cold eyes, feeling silently indignant for Rong Yan. What kind of people was Miss Rong dealing with, each with a thicker face than the last? No wonder the young master and Mr. Li were concerned.
If it were his family, he wouldn’t feel secure either!
Li Shengxiao, as if he hadn’t heard a thing, ignored their charade and went straight over, speaking coldly, “I was the one who asked KT to sue her, and I remember the court’s verdict stated she had to apologize publicly to my girlfriend at the top of media outlets.”
“It’s just a small misunderstanding between kids, and my point is there’s no need to make it a big deal and give outsiders a spectacle,” Jiang Meiqi still put on an authoritative elder’s tone, suggesting through her words that she expected certain privileges due to her seniority.
Gu Ming knew just by looking that she only dared to speak in front of Mr. Li because she was leveraging her status as Miss Rong’s mother.
Yet, she was exploiting this identity while also acting in the interest of others, truly disheartening.
Predictably, the noble man’s handsome face darkened, and he suddenly turned to look at her, as if restraining something, flames flickering in the depths of his dark pupils, “If Mrs. Rong is feeling unwell, she shouldn’t wander about; I’ve already called Mr. Rong, and I believe in a few more minutes, Mr. Rong will come here to take Mrs. Rong home. It would be best for Mrs. Rong to save her opinions for a thorough discussion with Mr. Rong!”
“…” In an instant, Jiang Meiqi’s face turned green.
She had played the senior card thanks to her relationship with Rong Yan, but in the blink of an eye, this man had made her keenly aware of what ruthlessness meant!
Rong Nanfeng had no idea that she’d tracked Rong Yan here with Rong Weiwei, and now that he had received a direct call from Li Shengxiao himself, she could only imagine how furious that opportunistic man would be!
