Chapter 379: Not planning to return the call
She had just returned to Dihor Garden when Estelle’s text message came through.
[Where are you?]
[Getting ready to head back, what’s up, Estelle?]
It took three minutes before the other side replied, [Nothing much. Just wanted to let you know that Mrs. Rong came to the company looking for you this afternoon, waiting in my office for over two hours without finding you, and left in a huff. You might want to get in touch with her.]
As soon as Rong Yan saw Mrs. Rong’s name, her mood, which had lightened while having a drink of water with Gu Linxi, suddenly tensed up. A chill crept up from the bottom of her eyes, and recalling the conversation she had overheard by chance at the hospital room door the day before, it felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, even affecting her good mood.
[…I know.]
She had also received a call from the court that morning; at this time the Rong Family contacting her could only mean one thing.
Most likely, they wanted her to withdraw the lawsuit.
But she wouldn’t withdraw!
And it was impossible for her to withdraw at this critical juncture!
With scandal swirling around her, withdrawing the lawsuit now would certainly spark a major online discourse accusing her of admitting guilt out of fear.
Up to this point, it was not just about her anymore, but about the efforts of a whole team.
She couldn’t simply withdraw the lawsuit just because Mrs. Rong was looking for her, disregarding the consequences and putting Estelle and the rest in a passive position. Most importantly, she was also involved in a show for AQ and a movie invested in by Li Shengxiao. If she were to be ruined, the two significant resources invested in her would also be impacted.
Moreover, Rong Weiwei had once pushed Little Baby into the water, almost drowning him!
Even if Mrs. Rong sought her out to request her to withdraw the lawsuit, she could not possibly forgive Rong Weiwei’s actions!
Taking a deep breath, Rong Yan had already made up her mind, so she looked down and sent another message to Estelle.
[Estelle, I will attend the court hearing on time tomorrow.]
Estelle’s intention in sending the message was to confirm Rong Yan’s attendance at the hearing the next day, but before she could even ask, Rong Yan had proactively provided a reassuring answer.
While Estelle felt relieved, she also felt a twinge of sympathy for Rong Yan.
[Okay. Take your time and think it over tonight. Whatever decision you make, I will support you.]
[Thank you, Estelle.]
No further messages came from the other end.
After putting away her phone, Rong Yan walked in and saw Little Baby watching cartoons. Seeing her, he ran over with a pitter-patter, “Mommy.”
No matter how many worries Rong Yan harbored in her heart, the sight of his beautiful little face eased her irritation. She bent down, caressed the soft skin of the little one’s face comparable to tofu, and asked with a smile, “Was Duidui well-behaved today?”
“Yes!” Li Duidui blinked his large eyes at her, and perhaps sensing her low spirits, took the initiative to hold her hand, coquettishly saying, “I want mommy to watch cartoons with me~”
Rong Yan chuckled, playfully pinched his little face, and followed him, “Who said he isn’t a two or three-year-old child anymore?”
Li Duidui pursed his lips, unusually silent and not retorting, merely muttered, “I am already five years old, not two or three.”
If Little Demon Rong looked unhappy, he was unhappy too. As long as Little Demon Rong was happy, he would be a child if he needed to be, there was always time to become a man later!
Noticing that her playful comment had dampened his mood, Rong Yan immediately raised her hands in surrender, “Alright, alright. My baby is five years old, not two or three. Mommy will watch TV with you, which one do you want to watch?”
“Bears out: The Adventures of Briar and Bramble!”
