Mrs. Hong frowned, looking at Rong Qi for guidance. Rong Qi, however, decided and said, “Since Mrs. Ye Sr. has returned, it’s only right to pay her a visit.”
Rong Qi didn’t want Ye Nanshen to be criticized because of her.
Mrs. Hong’s face flashed with worry and said, “Then I’ll go with you, madam. Let’s go upstairs and change your clothes.”
“Okay,” Rong Qi nodded, and they both headed upstairs.
Meng Fu scoffed disdainfully as they left.
After changing, Rong Qi and Mrs. Hong headed to the Ye residence. As soon as their car approached the entrance, they were stopped. The servants at the gate claimed that Mrs. Ye Sr. was feeling unwell and couldn’t stand the smell of gasoline, so cars couldn’t come within ten miles. Yet Meng Fu’s car had just entered.
Mrs. Hong was furious. She thought, ‘There was a long distance from the gate to the living room, and with Madam being pregnant, how could she endure such a walk?’
Rong Qi, however, ignored the servants and instructed Xu Yi, “Drive straight in. If anyone dares to stop us and seek death, don’t show mercy.”
“Yes, madam!” Xu Yi replied loudly, stepping on the accelerator and driving in as the servants scrambled out of the way.
Mrs. Hong, her eyes red with anger, fretted about Rong Qi being mistreated and said, “Is Mrs. Ye Sr. trying to intimidate you?”
Rong Qi smiled, “Getting angry over someone irrelevant isn’t worth it. Ignore them, don’t let them affect your mood. Such petty tricks don’t concern me.”
Mrs. Hong nodded, knowing Rong Qi was strong but still upset to see her mistreated.
This time, they reached the courtyard without any obstruction and stopped inside.
Before Rong Qi could even get out of the car, she saw Mrs. Fan waiting for her. Mrs. Fan briefed Rong Qi on the situation inside as they walked toward the living room. Rong Qi nodded, understanding the dynamics at play.
In the living room, Mrs. Ye Sr. sat in the center, surrounded by several people. Mrs. Fan had informed Rong Qi that there were others present. Based on their age, Rong Qi could guess who they were.
Meng Fu, standing by Mrs. Ye Sr., still seemed furious, likely having already complained.
Upon Rong Qi’s entry, all eyes turned to her.
Rong Qi glanced around, noticing the absence of Old Master Ye. It seemed this meeting was Mrs. Ye Sr.’s impromptu decision.
“Ma’am,” Rong Qi greeted indifferently, not bothering with any superficial courtesy, especially after Meng Fu’s behavior.
Rong Qi found a seat and sat down, regardless of their opinions.
Rong Qi’s action seemed to shake Mrs. Ye Sr., her hands trembling on the table, and yelled, “Stand up! Did I allow you to sit? Is this your upbringing? Hasn’t anyone taught you manners?”
Rong Qi looked up and said, “Ma’am, I grew up in the countryside and am not familiar with your rules. If you can bear to see, then look. If not, please close your eyes.”
“Y-y-you,” Mrs. Ye Sr. stuttered in anger.
Meng Fu, seizing the opportunity, added fuel to the fire, “Auntie, you see? She was even more arrogant just now! She called me a dog and indirectly mocked you for being uncouth..”
