Chapter 512: What does this mean, Mr. Li?
Li Shengxiao was showing no respect for her as an elder, blatantly slapping her in the face.
Jiang Meiqi was first stunned, then her face heated up as if it had caught fire, turning crimson. She clenched her fists and emphasized with restraint, “Mr. Li, Rong Yan is also my daughter.”
“Everyone outside knows that your daughter is Rong Weiwei. If you also think of Rong Weiwei as your daughter, there’s no need to turn back and acknowledge Rong Yan now. Mrs. Rong having one daughter is enough!”
His attitude was extremely tough, almost like he was forcing her to sever ties with Rong Yan! Jiang Meiqi’s complexion was a sickly green with hints of red, her chest feeling vaguely uneasy as if something had been discovered, making her unable to calm down.
Rong Weiwei was supporting her and interjected at this time, “Mr. Li, this is all my fault. My mom ignored my sister because she pitied me, which upset my sister. In fact, my mom has also been distressed by her strained relationship with my sister these past two years. Please don’t blame her anymore. Besides attending to my matters, she also hopes that my sister can move back home. My sister’s room is all ready. Once my sister moves back, I will try to go home less, so I won’t compete with my sister for Mom’s attention.”
She would only “coincidentally” return when this man visited; ordinarily, she couldn’t be bothered to go back!
Jiang Meiqi, hearing that she would visit less often, frowned and called out in an obviously displeased tone, “Weiwei…”
Rong Weiwei quickly soothed her by patting her shoulder and said softly, “Mom, I don’t want you to have any more conflicts with my sister. I’ve grown up now, so it’s only right for me to visit less and not disturb your family of four coming together. Don’t worry, I can take good care of myself. We can still meet up frequently, or you can come to see me where I live, too.”
Jiang Meiqi, listening to her meaningful words, gradually relaxed her tense mood. She didn’t want to see Weiwei less because of the illegitimate child, but it seemed from Weiwei’s words that it was just for show. Calming down, she also cooperated by turning to Rong Yan, hiding her displeasure and said indifferently, “You should move back home. I’m also not at ease with you living outside alone!”
She hid her disgust and reluctance well, but no matter how well hidden, it couldn’t conceal the condescending attitude she usually took with Rong Yan. Even if her tone was indifferent, the natural arrogance of a lady of her standing was etched into her bones, an attitude that a mother would never have towards her “biological daughter”!
Li Shengxiao could tolerate her insolence, but he could not tolerate her repeatedly displaying such a hurtful demeanor towards that young woman!
He looked past Jiang Meiqi and fixed his gaze onto Gu Ming, his thin lips barely parting, “Make another call to Mr. Rong and ask if he got lost on the way here!”
Gu Ming, holding back his laughter, glanced at the two thick-skinned women and respectfully said, “Yes.”
He stepped aside, took out his phone, and dialed another number.
Jiang Meiqi watched as Li Shengxiao’s assistant made another call to Rong Nanfeng, and her well-maintained face felt almost stiff from being slapped.
No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn’t match Rong Weiwei’s thick skin, especially in front of Rong Yan. She was naturally accustomed to feeling superior, but suddenly and repeatedly being slapped in the face was too much for her pride to take; her face stiffened, and she awkwardly asked, “Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?”
