Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Everything Goes Wrong, Getting Slapped in The Face Constantly
Before, she thought she could steadily secure the lead role in Stephen’s new film, so she didn’t take other offers that came her way seriously, letting her agent reject them all.
Resource providers aren’t fools; if she didn’t want them, they would naturally turn to someone else.
By the time she turned back to look, where would there be any good resources waiting for her? All that was left were the scraps nobody else wanted!
She had never suffered such indignity since her debut.
When she just debuted, there was the then foolishly naive Rong Yan to guide her, later on Mufeng protected and supported her all the way, her path in the entertainment industry could be described as smooth sailing. Now, suddenly having to accept such a contrasting situation, she simply could not.
But now, under someone else’s roof, she had no choice but to bow her head.
This old lady had slapped her face today in front of several high-level executives to put her in her place. Since Mufeng dared not truly quarrel with his mother, she could only brace herself to receive the slap.
Xin Lanye didn’t put her restraint and compromise in her eyes at all, her expression clearly impatient as she glanced at Rong Weiwei and continued indifferently, “Besides this matter, there’s another reason why I called you here.”
“What else is it, Auntie?” Rong Weiwei’s face was deathly pale, looking utterly pitiable.
Unfortunately, such a pitiable look might elicit sympathy from men, but women would see it as nothing more than an act.
Xin Lanye found her humble airs distasteful. Her face, already cold and impatient, grew even colder as she did not mince words, “District Chief Qu from Lin City told me that you took advantage of our family’s connections to trick him. Is that true?”
“Uncle Qu misunderstood…”
“You and Mufeng are dating, but you haven’t reached the stage of talking about marriage. In the future, you should avoid doing things that might cause misunderstandings. Otherwise, if a problem arises, it will once again be the Shi Family who has to clean up after you!”
This was truly blunt!
Even more blunt than before!
The key point was that, apart from Mufeng, there were several high-level executives in the office. By stating so directly that they were not yet at the stage of talking about marriage, Xin Lanye was making clear her stance within the company that Rong Weiwei was not yet the future Young Madam of the HuanYu company!
Rong Weiwei now truly felt embarrassed, stiffly receiving the attention of the high-level executives throughout. Even when Mufeng argued with Xin Lanye for a few sentences, she didn’t hear any of it, her body stayed rigid, not even knowing how she walked out of the office…
Once out of the office, Mufeng grabbed her arm, apparently seeing how harshly his mother had slapped her face today, he said somewhat sheepishly and awkwardly, “Weiwei, my mom is just taking out her frustration with the lawsuit loss on you, I’ll go back and communicate with her properly, don’t worry about it.”
Rong Weiwei, thinking about how things had been going against her recently and how she had been suppressed in every aspect, didn’t even have the energy to talk to him, “I have another engagement, I just want to go back and rest.”
Mufeng thought she was blaming him for not having defended her to the end, and didn’t let go of her arm, frowning, “Weiwei, she is still my mom after all, I hope you two can get along peacefully; can you be more accommodating towards her? Can you?”
Rong Weiwei was already disappointed with him, at this moment she was just more so, pulling away his hand, “Mufeng, I’m feeling rather tired!”
