Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Why Don’t You Say That Rong Weiwei Has No Sense of Shame
Her greatest reliance in the Rong Family was Jiang Meiqi, and of course, she didn’t want Jiang Meiqi to fall from power, allowing a mistress with a son to enter the household.
But Rong Nanfeng was extremely protective of the precious son he had finally had, not at all indifferent like he had been with Rong Yan initially.
She also couldn’t find a good opportunity to make her move.
If only Rong Yan would move back, everything would be much easier.
She just needed to find an opportunity to pin the mistake of dealing with that illegitimate child on Rong Yan’s head, then Rong Nanfeng, even if he wanted to bite someone afterwards, would only focus on biting Rong Yan.
By then, it would be a case of a dog biting a dog, a mouthful of fur, and all she would need to do was stand aside and enjoy the show.
With these thoughts in mind, she was all the more eager for Rong Yan to move back, and said in a gentle voice, “Sister, you haven’t met Mu yet, have you?”
The moment Rong Yan heard her voice, which could make one’s skin crawl, she knew she was up to no good. She didn’t even bother with her and spoke directly to Jiang Meiqi, “The Rong Family has nothing to do with me, and I am not going to move back.”
“As for Mrs. Rong’s concerns about so-called gossip from others, I’m afraid that’s overthinking it. In Capital City, very few people know about my relationship with you, and most of them only know that your daughter is Rong Weiwei. No matter how much I might disgrace myself, it wouldn’t reflect on Mrs. Rong!”
Jiang Meiqi knew what she was saying was true, but coming from Rong Yan’s mouth, it felt like an accusation, and her face darkened instantly. She said brusquely, “If you’re not going home, where do you plan to live? Continue living here?”
“Where I live is none of Mrs. Rong’s business.”
Jiang Meiqi suddenly slammed the table, her face dark with a low growl, “What do you mean it’s none of my business? Are you saying that now you’ve climbed up the social ladder, you no longer recognize me as your mother? I ask you to come home, and you come up with all sorts of excuses. As an unmarried girl without a formal introduction to parents, what are you doing living in a house arranged by a man? Have you no shame left?”
Rong Yan watched her rage, glanced at Rong Weiwei beside her, who immediately stepped in to support her and told her not to get angry as it was bad for her health, and said indifferently, “If I remember correctly, Mrs. Rong has never formally met with Mayor Shi’s family over a meal either. Rong Weiwei moved out to an apartment arranged by Shi Mufeng when she just started university, at the age of 19. I don’t recall Mrs. Rong ever mentioning that she lacked shame or was too shameless.”
Rong Weiwei didn’t expect the fire to burn towards her, and with every word from Rong Yan being true, she couldn’t refute any of it. She could only bite her lips in embarrassment, her face flushing red as she said softly, “Sister, I…”
Jiang Meiqi couldn’t bear to see her aggrieved and immediately looked displeased. Glancing sharply at Rong Yan, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust, “Why bring Weiwei into this? Weiwei’s situation is different. Mufeng is a young man I’ve seen grow up, and I know exactly what kind of person he is. Besides, Mufeng has mentioned having our parents dine together; it’s just that I haven’t had the time.”
Of course, this was all a lie she told to save face.
In reality, Shi Mufeng had never brought up formally meeting both parents to discuss marriage.
He had mentioned having a meal together before, and she was so happy that she went to get styled early on. But then Xin Lanye cancelled at the last minute, claiming to have urgent work overseas, leaving her and Rong Nanfeng quite embarrassed.
