Chapter 426: I’ve Been Disappointed for So Long, It’s Not Worth Mentioning Despair
“Aren’t you acquainted with Mrs. Huang? You know full well your sister is innocent and has been misunderstood. Can’t you just help by speaking to her, what’s the big deal?”
“No big deal?”
Jiang Meiqi didn’t feel her request was the least bit unreasonable. “What’s the big deal? As long as you talk to her, persuade her to stop pestering your sister, that’ll be enough.”
These past few days, Qin Xiang had been harassing Rong Weiwei non-stop. Whenever Rong Weiwei showed up anywhere, she would bring people to create a scene, causing a lot of trouble for Rong Weiwei.
Although Rong Weiwei had someone go to Huang Youde afterward, asking him to explain to Qin Xiang.
But Qin Xiang seemed fixated on her, not only insisting on making a fuss with her but also wanting to divorce Huang Youde.
Now that things had escalated to this level, Jiang Meiqi had no hope that Huang Youde would be able to persuade his wife.
Hence this phone call from Jiang Meiqi.
Rong Yan found it utterly ridiculous, her eyelashes drooping slightly to veil her eyes as she asked softly, “Me, go find Mrs. Huang? If I did go, and Rong Weiwei then had the paparazzi stake out to take photos of me, releasing news on the internet that I’m the one behind all this, how am I supposed to explain that?”
Jiang Meiqi was startled and said without hesitation, “Wei wouldn’t do that! I believe in her!”
Rong Yan said coolly, “But I don’t believe her.”
“Mrs. Rong, I’m busy with other matters. If you’re just hoping I will clean up Rong Weiwei’s mess, sorry, but I don’t have the ability or the time!”
She was about to hang up the phone.
From the other end of the phone came Jiang Meiqi’s voice, stifled with frustration, “Go on, hang up then, and don’t ever come back to the Rong Family again!”
The Rong Family?
Did she even have a home?
She hadn’t had one in five years.
Not quite right, five years ago she had Duidui, her little darling. She had long stopped begging for even a glance from anyone in the Rong Family.
Without hesitation, she hung up the phone.
Cui Jiangjing had just been in the operating room overseeing the stitching by the doctors inside. He had just come out, seeing Rong Yan with a troubled expression on her face while on the phone, he walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rong Yan put away her phone, shook her head, and replied with a calm demeanor, “It’s nothing.”
In comparison to the messy and distressing affairs of the Rong Family, she was more concerned about whether Li Shengxiao was alright.
Rong Yan’s attention was immediately diverted as she said, “Doctor Cui, Li Shengxiao, he…”
Cui Jiangjing knew what she wanted to ask, waved his hand and said calmly, “He’s fine, just lost a lot of blood. Luckily, you administered basic disinfection and stopped his bleeding in time. He just needs the wound to be stitched up; it’s not a big problem.”
“…That’s good.” Rong Yan let out a sigh of relief.
Cui Jiangjing looked at her, his gaze shifting slightly as if a new thought had struck him. He cleared his throat and added, “Although it’s not a big problem, he still needs to rest well for the next few days. Especially, he can’t stay up late or overwork himself. You know him, he works as if he doesn’t care for his own life. If you have time, it would be best to keep a closer watch over him.”
What he said was all true, of course, but surely there was a bit of self-interest involved!
Shengxiao had been hurt, bleeding for Little Yan Rong, and as a good friend, he felt the need to remind her to recognize the favor and repay Shengxiao properly.
Otherwise, all that suffering would be too much of a loss!
Rong Yan hadn’t thought that far. She was medically trained herself and knew the common sense of rest and nutrition after blood loss. She considered going home to buy an old hen to stew soup for someone, while nodding and saying, “I understand.”
