Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Pinching Her Achilles’ Heel
Li Shengxiao glared at her once, regardless of her embarrassment, and said directly, “I’ve said it, Rong Yan is my girlfriend. Mrs. Rong seems not to have understood this yet!”
Jiang Meiqi was both embarrassed and flustered, and really wanted to question him. Did Rong Yan cease to be her daughter just because she was his girlfriend now? Could a girlfriend be closer than a daughter? But remembering the man’s status and the backing of the Li Group, her temples throbbed, and she didn’t dare to speak up.
“But Rong Yan is also…”
“Mrs. Rong has only one daughter, and that’s the Rong Weiwei by your side. I don’t want to say it a third time!”
“Is Mr. Li suggesting that Rong Yan and I sever our mother-daughter relationship?” Jiang Meiqi, despite her fear of him, dared to speak up as she saw her own interests threatened.
Li Shengxiao had tolerated her time and again, all because Rong Yan was still by his side. Seeing that the person before him was still blithely wielding her ‘identity,’ mentioning things he didn’t want to hear, his handsome face suddenly turned cold, and he reminded her icily, “It seems that Director Stephen’s cast change hasn’t awakened Mrs. Rong yet, is it that you want me to make Mrs. Rong more aware of the situation?”
Jiang Meiqi was utterly dumbfounded, “What, what do you mean… The cast change by Director Stephen wasn’t…”
“Li Group has fully taken over Stephen’s new film, so it’s only natural that the film’s roles are selected by the Li Group. Do you understand now, Mrs. Rong?”
Jiang Meiqi’s well-maintained face couldn’t hold its composure anymore, turning deathly pale.
She understood what the man meant.
He was warning her to shut her mouth and stop acting like Rong Yan’s biological mother. Otherwise, if international Director Stephen’s film could replace Weiwei, then other directors’ films would be even more free to replace Weiwei. If she kept bothering Rong Yan without knowing her place, Weiwei’s situation would only get worse…
Shocked and incredibly angry at the same time, she fumed.
What kind of trick had that little bastard played to make Li Shengxiao protect her like this!
In the past, Lin Zhiya did the same, inexplicably protecting this little bastard. Now Li Shengxiao was protecting her too, the mother and son of the Li Family had both been swayed by her. But her Weiwei was instead being suppressed. Why!
Even if Jiang Meiqi was furious, enraged, and thought Rong Yan unworthy, Weiwei’s fate was in this man’s hands, and he could break it at any moment. Even if not for her own sake, she had to tread carefully for the sake of Rong Weiwei.
“It seems Mrs. Rong understands now.”
As soon as Li Shengxiao spoke, the living room fell into a dead silence.
Jiang Meiqi, with her achilles heel grasped tight, didn’t dare to say a word, afraid the man would drop another bombshell on her.
If Jiang Meiqi dared not speak, then Rong Weiwei had even less room to talk.
Just then, Gu Ming, who had been on the phone, came back and broke the silence.
“Mr. Li.”
“Mr. Rong says he is downstairs now and will be right up.”
Jiang Meiqi’s spine stiffened again, her expression ugly and pale.
Whether she liked it or not, Rong Nanfeng soon came up, glaring fiercely at them the moment he arrived, and then, sweating profusely, he said with a smile to Li Shengxiao, “Mr. Li, I am sorry for the delay, ran into some traffic. Has my wife not troubled you?”
He didn’t wait for Li Shengxiao to respond before he caught sight of Rong Yan and reproachfully said to her, “Yan, your mother came over, why didn’t you tell me? Your mother just got out of the hospital, and Mr. Li doesn’t have time to look after her, you really should know better.”
