Chapter 737: Chapter 737: As if Afflicted with Alzheimer’s at a Young Age
Jiang Meiqi’s brows knit together, her graceful and luxurious face betraying her guilt and discontent. “What do you mean by that?”
“I’m just wondering which biological mother, upon learning that her own daughter was almost victimized by someone’s drugging, would, without hesitation, trust the words of the person who drugged her. She didn’t think twice before using their mother-daughter relationship to threaten her daughter to stop pursuing the matter.”
It was as if a hidden fire flickered in Rong Yan’s eyes, stirring unrest deep within Jiang Meiqi.
Could this bastard have heard something from Li Shengxiao?
That day, the man had cornered her at the hospital stairwell and spoke of the biggest secret hidden in her heart, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She had sleepless nights for half a month, terrified that Rong Yan would confront her. Only when she discovered that Li Shengxiao hadn’t disclosed the secret to Rong Yan did she feel somewhat relieved.
It didn’t make sense. If he hadn’t spoken before, why would Li Shengxiao tell the bastard after all this time?
Jiang Meiqi, hesitant and indecisive, looked at Rong Yan only to be further provoked by the indifference on her face. Her brows furrowed even more tightly, and she subconsciously lifted her chin slightly to meet Rong Yan’s gaze, elevating herself to a higher position. “Weiwei is the one I’ve raised from childhood; I know her better than anyone! She certainly had no idea there was something wrong with that glass of champagne; it’s all a misunderstanding. Yet, you ruined your sister and even caused her breakup with Mufeng. Do you think because I’m your mother, I should praise you for a job well done?”
Rong Yan ignored her sarcasm, walked up to Rong Weiwei, and stared unwaveringly at the disheveled woman, “You didn’t know there was something wrong with that glass of champagne in advance?”
Being questioned by Rong Yan from a position of superiority, Rong Weiwei’s pupils instantly constricted with discomfort, the feeling of being oppressed washing over her again. Gritting her teeth unwillingly, she forced her facial muscles to twitch, squeezing out a feigned expression, “Sister, I really didn’t know…”
Rong Yan lifted her hand and slapped her across the face.
“Slap!” A crisp sound echoed.
Jiang Meiqi jumped with shock, not anticipating that Rong Yan would dare to physically assault Rong Weiwei in front of her. Anger pulsed through her as she pushed Rong Yan away, immediately pulling the person into her embrace and glaring fiercely at Rong Yan, “What do you think you’re doing!”
The slap Rong Yan delivered had been forceful, knocking Rong Weiwei’s teeth against her lips, filling her mouth with blood, a wretched sight to behold.
Protected in Jiang Meiqi’s arms, Rong Weiwei couldn’t suppress her twisted expression, glaring maliciously at Rong Yan. She looked as if she wanted to devour Rong Yan whole!
Rong Yan withdrew her hand, facing Jiang Meiqi’s raging fury nonchalantly, “Not planning to do anything; I just wanted her to sober up. Otherwise, it’s like she has early-onset dementia, forgetting her own actions the moment she turns her head. Always needing someone else to remind her.”
“You!” Rong Weiwei felt a tickle in her throat, the blood nearly bursting out from her rage!
Jiang Meiqi looked equally unwell, her complexion turning green as she stared at Rong Yan, grinding her teeth as she spoke, “What a fine daughter I’ve raised! What exactly do you want today? Do you really want to kill your sister?”
There was a deep cut in the palm of Rong Yan’s hand from a piece of glass; even though it had been stitched up, the slap she gave Rong Weiwei caused her palm to throb with pain. The wound had even ripped open, staining the gauze red with blood. However, Jiang Meiqi hadn’t noticed this from start to finish, instead asserting her position as a mother throughout, using her words to coerce Rong Yan.
