The butler glanced at Luo Anning and said, “It’s Madam Rong.”
Luo Anning was stunned. Didn’t Jiang Peihua return to the Capital? Why did she visit the mansion?
Kristen remained composed and picked up the napkin to wipe his lips. “Let her in.”
Luo Anning stood up nervously and said, “It’s alright, I’ll go out.”
Kristen definitely did not want to see Jiang Peihua. After all, they were on different sides...
As soon as she took two steps forward, her wrist was grabbed gently. She turned around in bewilderment while Kristen said nonchalantly, “How can you refuse guests? Butler, please invite Madam Rong in.”
The butler expressed assent and scurried out.
Kristen stood up and patted her shoulder before walking out. Catherine also put down her cutlery and stood up after wiping her lips.
When she walked past Luo Anning, she said calmly, “Don’t think too much. He wouldn’t see her if he didn’t want to, he can take care of himself.”
In other words, Kristen wanted Jiang Peihua to come in because he wanted to see her?
Luo Anning walked out in a daze.
Jiang Peihua was led into the living room by the butler, followed by two servants who handed the clothes to the butler.
“Lass Anning, come here. Let Mother take a good look at you.”
Luo Anning stood up obediently while Jiang Peihua held her hand in satisfaction. After sizing her up, she smiled and said, “Fortunately, you didn’t lose any weight.”
“Mother, why are you here?” Luo Anning asked hesitantly.
Most importantly, how did she know that she was with Kristen? Besides, she was rather shocked to see the supplements and pregnant women’s clothes.
How did she know that she was pregnant?
“You’re such a child. Why didn’t you tell me about your pregnancy?” Jiang Peihua glared at her angrily and chastised, “Fortunately, the rascal found out about it and told me in time. Otherwise, he would’ve let a pregnant woman run away from home. Are you trying to make me upset?”
Luo Anning stared at her and said, “Mother, I never thought that way.”
Back then, she left because she did not want to see Rong Yan and gave him plenty of time and space to consider if he should tell her the truth.
“Since you don’t think so, come home with me and let me take care of you. You’re all alone outside and you’re pregnant now. We can’t let anything go wrong,” Jiang Peihua said while taking the opportunity to reveal her motive.
After a long while, Kristen interjected, “Anning won’t leave. This is her home. Why should she leave?”
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Peihua’s smile stiffened and she stared at Kristen with a tinge of hidden emotions in her eyes.
Jiang Peihua’s eyes glistened and she looked at Kristen. “Rong Yu, logically speaking, Anning is your sister-in-law. The two of you living together... is a terrifying topic. Even if you don’t mind, you must think about Anning. The most important thing in a person’s life is their reputation.”
Her words were extremely obvious. If Kristen were to insist on letting Anning stay, he would be smearing her reputation. If he were to let Anning leave, Jiang Peihua would be happy.
However, Kristen was never one to cooperate.
