Chapter 843: Chapter 843: Haven’t I come back?
Jiang Meiqi, having seen the world, immediately understood the other party’s intent as soon as it was made clear. Some friend of Rong Yan, more like an enemy, perhaps. But in her current situation, the enemy of her enemy was a friend. She was curious to see what this Xue had in mind, especially since she was short on people to bribe the investors. If this woman who’d just shown up could help her sort this out, she wouldn’t ask for more.
“Does Mrs. Rong have time to grace me with her presence?”
Jiang Meiqi rapidly cycled through countless thoughts, but eventually concealed them all beneath her façade of a dignified lady, “I might…”
The sleazy-looking man immediately seized the opportunity, “Then please do Mrs. Rong the honor of joining me for a drink of water.”
Although Jiang Meiqi had made up her mind to accompany him and see what was going on, she still pretended to be reluctant, “Even if I do have time, why should I go for water with you?”
The man was savvy and immediately responded with a smile, “I just saw Mrs. Rong arguing with Rong Yan at the company’s entrance. Rong Yan actually left you and walked away by herself. Ah, we parents inevitably face such situations. When children grow up and their wings get strong, they stop listening to their parents.”
He deliberately sounded very sorrowful while sneakily watching Jiang Meiqi’s reaction, “At times like these, parents must assert their authority to teach their children a lesson. Otherwise, the children might become more and more rebellious and stop taking their parents seriously. Xue is just worried about Mrs. Rong and wants to help ease your troubles. At the very least, she can act as a listener and let Mrs. Rong vent.”
Jiang Meiqi was now certain that this man disliked Rong Yan and was seizing the opportunity to push her into causing trouble.
Just what she needed, someone to help her teach the little wretch a lesson.
Jiang Meiqi hesitated again for show, and when she felt she had played the part long enough, she reluctantly left with the sleazy-looking man.
Inside KT Entertainment, Rong Yan had no idea someone had approached Jiang Meiqi after she left. Of course, even if she had known, she wouldn’t care about such matters.
She escaped Jiang Meiqi’s entanglement and made a beeline for Estelle’s office. The moment she pushed open the door, a small shadow darted over and threw itself into her arms.
“Mom!” The call was so full of distress, the sound of someone scared and fretted, it softened Rong Yan’s heart.
She bent down to pick him up and saw his little red nose, a clear sign he had just been crying, “Didn’t Mommy come back quickly? I didn’t lie, did I?”
Li Duidui’s eyes were still red as he sniffled, burying his head in her chest, refusing to utter a single word.
Rong Yan had no choice but to coax him, gently patting his back, “My good Little Baby Duidui, Mommy is fine. The security uncle is right there; nothing can happen to me. Okay, it’s Mommy’s fault for scaring you. Don’t be afraid anymore, alright? Tonight, I’ll take you to eat your favorite hot and sour rice noodles.”
The beautiful little boy’s voice was still sulky, “I don’t want hot and sour rice noodles.”
It seemed Little Baby was genuinely frightened, having lost interest even in his usually favorite hot and sour rice noodles. She helplessly held the little one, turning to Estelle for rescue.
Estelle gave her a look of sympathizing but helpless, “I can’t do anything either, just comfort him yourself. The little fellow regretted coming in here with me the moment he did, constantly asking when you’ll arrive. It wasn’t even ten minutes before he couldn’t sit still anymore and started fussing to go out to find you, saying you must have been bullied.”
