Chapter 1736: Chapter 1737: What Happened
Rong Yan had tolerated her for far too long. Upon hearing her words, she put down her hand and looked at her coldly, "So what if I hit you? If you have the guts, hit me back. But now, shut up! Mrs. Jiang is still fine, yet here you are acting like youâre going to die. Those who know you might think that youâre worried and scared, thatâs why you keep bringing up death. Those who donât might think youâre wishing for something to happen to Mrs. Jiang."
"Youâre talking nonsense, slandering me! I didnât mean that!" Chu Xi shouted angrily.
The old butler reminded her sternly, "Miss, please keep quiet. The madame is having surgery inside, and the doctor specifically asked us to stay quiet outside before going in, so we donât disturb your surgery. Your shouting could affect the madameâs surgery."
Chu Xi felt like she had been slapped in the face and she was deeply embarrassed.
When Rong Yan said it, she could angrily fight back, but the old butler is someone from the Chu Family. When even their people didnât give her face, that was the true humiliation. She glared maliciously at Rong Yan, that look as if the old butlerâs words were all manipulated by Rong Yan to distort her meaning.
Out of respect for the butler, she could only lower her voice, "Rong Yan, stop pretending here. I know what youâre up to."
She suppressed herself and said with restraint, "Youâre just trying to look good in front of my mom to get benefits from our family. Ha, dream on! No matter how much you curry favor with us, your background makes you unworthy."
"What about my wifeâs background makes her unworthy?" At this moment, Li Shengxiao walked over and wrapped his arm around Rong Yanâs waist, his voice calm yet full of menace. His cold and sharp eyes devoid of any emotion, he reminded her from above, "You seem to be just a foster daughter recognized by Madame Chu, constantly claiming our family. Does Madame Chu know?"
In her life, the word âfosterâ was what Chu Xi hated the most.
She bit her lip, her face turning blue, and raised her head to say, "My mom says Iâm her foster daughter to outsiders just to protect me. You know who I am in your heart!"
"Oh? Who are you?"
That indifferent attitude made Chu Xi seethe with anger, squeezing out through her teeth, "Iâm your fiancĂ©e!"
Just as she spoke, Qin Jun, who had been asking the doctor about Jiang Chenyueâs condition, returned. Seeing her and Li Shengxiao standing so close, with Rong Yan nearby, the atmosphere in the hallway seemed tense as if on the verge of an outbreak. He furrowed his brow and called out, "Chu Xi, what are you doing!"
Chu Xi shook all over like a mouse seeing a cat, losing her previous bravado, putting on a wronged expression, "I saw Miss Rong come running over and just asked why she was at the hospital. Who knew sheâd slap me without a word? I was upset and argued with Mr. Li a bit."
Her implication made it seem like Rong Yan was deliberately causing a ruckus in front of the operating room. Even the doctors who came over with Qin Jun couldnât help but glance disapprovingly at Rong Yan.
Qin Jun merely frowned and didnât immediately believe her to rebuke Rong Yan but said, "I called her here. Do you have a problem with that?"
"..." Chu Xi, seething with resentment, clenched her fists and didnât dare speak, forcing a smile, "I didnât know that."
Qin Jun ignored her and walked over to ask the butler, "Whatâs the matter?"
Chu Xi saw him bypass her to ask the butler, clearly not believing her. Panic surged within her as she rushed to speak before the butler, "Actually, itâs nothing serious, just me and Miss Rong arguing a bit."
