âMiss Rong even knows Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li actually stood up for her specially. It seems they have a good relationship.â
âKim Yien lost face big time this time. She falsely accused someone of stealing her necklace and offended someone she shouldnât have. If I were her, Iâd be dying to find a hole to crawl into right now.â
âHahaha, itâs not just Kim Yien who lost face big time. Did you not hear someone just now saying things like âstealing as a kid, stealing money when grown upâ? Now they know their daughter was smeared, and thinking about what they just said, their faces must be swollen from the slaps, right?â
The voices of discussion around were not too loud or too soft, and Jiang Meiqiâs 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 leftâ¦
Damn it, Rong Yan even managed to climb high onto Mrs. Liâs branch!
It looks like she needed to accelerate her actions and couldnât leave her be any longer!
âHmph! 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!â âMom, it was a misunderstanding.â
âA misunderstanding? Mrs. Li was someone I finally managed to invite over, and just like that she takes her away. If thatâs not a snub, then what is it?â She was so irritated she wouldnât listen to any word in favor of Rong Yan, âFor all we know, that necklace might have been taken by her on purpose, using it as an opportunity to catch Mrs. Liâs attention and have her stand up for her. Sheâs trying to grab all the attention to let everyone know sheâs back!â
Jiang Meiqiâ voice was sharp as she tightly grasped Rong Weiweiâs hand, staring at her intently and saying, âWeiwei, donât worry, as long as Momâs here, I wonât let her succeed!â
âNo matter what Rong Yan is back for, Iâll always stand by your side!â
Rong Weiweiâs arm hurt from the grip, but her mouth curved up in a smug smile, âMom, youâre really too good to me.â
âMrs. Li, thank you for just now.â 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, âI trust your character! And youâre the first person of the opposite sex that Shengxiao brought home, plus you helped Duidui with his treatment. So, you donât need to thank me. If anyone should be thankful, it should be me thanking you. Youâre not subtly reminding me to thank you, are you?â
Rong Yan was taken aback and hurriedly waved her hand, âI didnât mean thatâ¦â Mrs. Li laughed and grabbed her hand intimately, saying, âAlright, letâs not thank each other back and forth. I really like Miss Rong, and I remember your name is Rong Yan, right? Iâll call you Yan from now on.â
âThatâs fine.
âAnd you donât have to call me Mrs. Li anymore, just call me Mrs. Lin.â
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, âMrs. Lin.â
âHaha, good girl.â
Lin Zhiya liked the genuine spirit in her and immediately responded with a smile. Taking her by the arm, she said, âLetâs go back quickly, Duidui is waiting at home.â
She couldnât 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 awayâ¦.
