Old Madam Jiang didn’t know how to persuade her anymore and brought up Rong Weiwei, “But Weiwei still needs Nanfeng’s help with her issues. With the two of you at such a deadlock, Weiwei will also be in a difficult position. Isn’t that so?”
Speaking of this, she remembered the incident today that had infuriated her to no end, her complexion turned as unsightly as Jiang Meiqi’s, and she said with a stern face, “Speaking of which, did you see the news on TV? That little bitch actually snatched Weiwei’s role! Ever since she returned to the country, there hasn’t been a single day of peace, and now she’s getting more and more brazen!”
“Wei has already told me about it.”
“Have you called her to ask what on earth she’s planning to do?” Old Madam Jiang grumbled, “If it really comes to it, just send her away again!”
She spoke casually, as if Rong Yan was not her granddaughter, but some ‘trash’ that could be discarded at any time.
Jiang Meiqi’s face grew even uglier, impatiently saying, “I have it under control.”
Seeing her non-committal response, Old Madam Jiang grew anxious. Her gaunt and heavily made-up face displayed a deep dissatisfaction as she pressed, “What control do you have when she’s becoming increasingly lawless? Before, she was only causing minor disturbances online, but now she dares to openly compete with Weiwei for roles. She completely disregards you; what is she trying to do? Does she no longer recognize you as her birth mother?”
Normally, Jiang Meiqi might have taken her words to heart, but now, with sufficient worries of her own, the added pressure from Old Madam ringing in her ears only intensified her irritation and the tone of her voice grew even sharper, “She’s grown wings now, with Mrs. Li backing her. Even if she doesn’t recognize me as her birth mother, what can I do about it?”
Old Madam Jiang was left speechless by the retort, her mouth opening and closing for a long while before she said reluctantly, “But you’re her mother; surely she wouldn’t dare to go against you!”
Jiang Meiqi lifted her head, glanced at her, and spoke indifferently, “…The last time, she asked me to do a paternity test in front of everyone, and even suggested that she suspected I had taken the wrong child home from the hospital.”
Her words, abrupt and to the point, made the listener’s face turn pale, “Meiqi, she wouldn’t…”
Jiang Meiqi cut her off, “She probably doesn’t know. I’m just saying that she’s determined to infuriate me. I had just received a call from Weiwei when I called her, but she didn’t answer, and there’s not much I can do.”
The changeable expression on Old Madam Jiang’s face finally settled into a dark calm, her brow heavy with discontent, “What about Weiwei, then? Can we only stand by and watch her lose the role?”
Jiang Meiqi rubbed her temples, leaned back on the sofa, and her tense jawline relaxed slightly, “Of course not! I wouldn’t just watch Wei get bullied.”
“Then…”
If that damned girl, Rong Yan, refuses to budge, what other options do they have?
Jiang Meiqi began to speak slowly, “Director Stephen is making a new film and is secretly selecting a leading actress. Mufeng has invested a sum of money, and I just called Nanfeng; he’s agreed to invest a billion in it. Barring any surprises, the film’s female lead should be settled on Weiwei. This time, I will make sure she signs the contract with the production company in advance; there won’t be any chance of a last-minute replacement!”
Old Madam Jiang didn’t catch on at first, and said with confusion, “Hasn’t Nanfeng always disliked Weiwei? Why would he suddenly invest in Weiwei’s film?”
