“Miss Rong even knows Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li actually stood up for her specially. It seems they have a good relationship.”
“Kim Yien lost face big time this time. She falsely accused someone of stealing her necklace and offended someone she shouldn’t have. If I were her, I’d be dying to find a hole to crawl into right now.”
“Hahaha, it’s not just Kim Yien who lost face big time. Did you not hear someone just now saying things like ‘stealing as a kid, stealing money when grown up’? Now they know their daughter was smeared, and thinking about what they just said, their faces must be swollen from the slaps, right?”
The voices of discussion around were not too loud or too soft, and Jiang Meiqi’s face went from green to white to purple, a colorful spectacle to behold. Even Rong Weiwei, who was walking with her, had a bad look on her face as she squinted her eyes, staring in the direction Rong Yan had left…
Damn it, Rong Yan even managed to climb high onto Mrs. Li’s branch!
It looks like she needed to accelerate her actions and couldn’t leave her be any longer!
“Hmph! She really is sent by the heavens to spite me, and she even took away the distinguished guest I went to great lengths to invite. Such a huge snub!” “Mom, it was a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding? Mrs. Li was someone I finally managed to invite over, and just like that she takes her away. If that’s not a snub, then what is it?” She was so irritated she wouldn’t listen to any word in favor of Rong Yan, “For all we know, that necklace might have been taken by her on purpose, using it as an opportunity to catch Mrs. Li’s attention and have her stand up for her. She’s trying to grab all the attention to let everyone know she’s back!”
Jiang Meiqi’ voice was sharp as she tightly grasped Rong Weiwei’s hand, staring at her intently and saying, “Weiwei, don’t worry, as long as Mom’s here, I won’t let her succeed!”
“No matter what Rong Yan is back for, I’ll always stand by your side!”
Rong Weiwei’s arm hurt from the grip, but her mouth curved up in a smug smile, “Mom, you’re really too good to me.”
“Mrs. Li, thank you for just now.” After leaving the hotel, Rong Yan immediately let go of her arm, expressing her gratitude.
She did not expect Mrs. Li to stand up for her without even asking questions, and she even provided a reasonable explanation for the necklace in her hand. She had grown accustomed to hardships over the years and for the first time, someone unequivocally stood up for her, making her feel a bit at a loss.
Lin Zhiya smiled as she took her hand again, patting it affectionately twice, “I trust your character! And you’re the first person of the opposite sex that Shengxiao brought home, plus you helped Duidui with his treatment. So, you don’t need to thank me. If anyone should be thankful, it should be me thanking you. You’re not subtly reminding me to thank you, are you?”
Rong Yan was taken aback and hurriedly waved her hand, “I didn’t mean that…” Mrs. Li laughed and grabbed her hand intimately, saying, “Alright, let’s not thank each other back and forth. I really like Miss Rong, and I remember your name is Rong Yan, right? I’ll call you Yan from now on.”
“And you don’t have to call me Mrs. Li anymore, just call me Mrs. Lin.”
The other party was warm and sincere, and Rong Yan, not being a pretentious person, could tell who was earnest and who was just being polite. Taking a deep breath, she also let down her guard, “Mrs. Lin.”
Lin Zhiya liked the genuine spirit in her and immediately responded with a smile. Taking her by the arm, she said, “Let’s go back quickly, Duidui is waiting at home.”
She couldn’t wait to get Rong Yan into the Lincoln parked by the roadside. The driver respectfully closed the door for the two of them, and the car sped away….
