Lin Zhiya didn’t expect to run into Rong Yan here; she walked straight past a group of eager socialites and reached out to grab Rong Yan’s hand.
“I didn’t think I’d see you here, looks like I ca to the right place.”
Rong Yan was flabbergasted, why did she feel like the Li Family’s presence was ubiquitous?!
Mrs. Li, seeing her bewildered, covered her mouth with a laugh and affectionately said, “Last ti, you rember, I said I wanted to treat you to a al, but you had to leave early because sothing ca up. Ever since Miss Rong treated Duidui with acupuncture therapy, his complexion has improved a lot. I’ve been telling his father that we must properly thank you one of these days.”
She looked at Rong Yan curiously, “Miss Rong’s dical skills are so impressive at such a young age, it’s truly admirable. Did Miss Rong’s acupuncture skills co from a renowned teacher?”
Rong Yan didn’t know how to explain it to her, so she vaguely responded, “I just studied acupuncture abroad for a while and happened to co across so ancient treatnts.”
Mrs. Li didn’t believe her, “Really? I thought you had been taught by a famous doctor.”
“Really,” Rong Yan said, fearing further questions, quickly changed the subject, “Right, is… your grandson truly feeling better?”
Speaking of her beloved grandson, Mrs. Li’s dignified face softened, as if a layer of light had been applied, “Yes. Ever since Miss Rong treated him with acupuncture last ti, Duidui has been looking much better. I’ve been wanting to ask Miss Rong to give Duidui another treatnt. Are you free today?”
“Today…”
Rong Yan frowned.
Finally, Mrs. Li noticed her predicant and saw the necklace in her hand,
“Whose necklace is this?”
“I just heard them saying sobody took sobody else’s necklace, they aren’t talking about you, are they?”
Mrs. Li’s gaze turned cold, “Who is slandering you?”
The Rong Family did well in Capital City, but compared to the Li Family, the difference was like that between ants and elephants—simply incomparable!
The guests present, who wouldn’t want to cling to the towering tree that was Lin Zhiya, never expected that Lin Zhiya would know Rong Yan and without a second thought, without even asking, she took Rong Yan’s side!
Kim Yien’s face turned a bit green, alternating between shades of green and white, unable to step down in the face of Mrs. Li’s fury, she could only stutter, “Misunderstanding, it was just a misunderstanding earlier. I didn’t say that Rong Yan took my necklace, I just saw her holding my necklace and asked her about it. Rong Yan, right? I was just asking you, wasn’t I?”
“If it’s a misunderstanding, why did you say it so loudly? Isn’t that deliberately causing others to misunderstand?” Lin Zhiya, who had seen a lot of such incidents, asked indifferently.
All around were the looks of spectators.
Kim Yien’s face flushed red and she did not dare to offend Lin Zhiya, continually glancing towards Rong Yan, pushing the responsibility onto Rong
Yan as a matter of course, “I didn’t an that, I just kept saying it wasn’t Rong
Yan who stole my things, she can be my witness. Rong Yan, say sothing!”
Mrs. Li took the necklace from Rong Yan’s hand and gave it back to her, saying indifferently, “Next ti, wear your necklace properly when you go out. Don’t drop it on the ground so that when soone kindly picks it up for you, you accuse them of being a thief. If you can’t wear it properly, better not wear it at all!”
“Mrs. Li, I…” Kim Yien panicked, the necklace she was wearing was contracted with a brand she was in dispute with for an endorsent, and, 10 and behold, that brand happened to be one of the jewelry brands under the Lu Corporation. Mrs. Li’s statent was akin to cutting off her route to the jewelry endorsent!
She anxiously looked at Rong Yan beside Mrs. Li and urged, “Rong Yan, explain to Mrs. Li for , I didn’t an it that way, you know exactly what I ant!”
In front of her, Rong Yan took Lin Zhiya’s hand and with a raised eyebrow interrupted her, ‘ …Sorry, I don’t know-”
“You!” Kim Yien turned blue with anger, impulsively accusing her, “I clearly kept defending you just now, why won’t you help
explain? Are you deliberately framing ?!”
Oh my, one had to have such thick skin to utter words like that.
Rong Yan rolled her eyes, speechless.
Apparently, she had completely forgotten how she had triumphantly stuffed the necklace into Rong Yan’s hands minutes before, and now had the audacity to play the victim, questioning her with an injured air.
Lin Zhiya had no patience left and cut off the persistent woman, “Enough, are you done? Rong Yan has already said she doesn’t know, do you want to force her to speak up for you in front of ? Are you saying I’m blind?”
“I didn’t an it that way…” Kim Yien opened her mouth but then didn’t dare continue, standing there pale-faced and mumbling.
Without giving her another look, Lin Zhiya warmly took Rong Yan’s hand,
“Now that I’ve run into you here, I don’t need to ask Shengxiao for your number. Co on, let’s head back together. Little Baby will be so happy to know you’ve co.”
“Your grandson really is adorable.” ntioning Little Baby, Rong Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
“Hahaha, that’s perfect since you can see him when you co back with .” She hesitated for a mont, then whispered sothing to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li nodded and released her hand, and Rong Yan went to find a staff mber to hand over the gift she’d brought. She quickly returned to Mrs. Li’s side, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Mrs. Li, now very fond of her, took her arm, “No problem, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Rong Yan left the place without looking back..
