My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 502: Just want to say she is kept by Li Shengxiao
From childhood, she never cared about her affairs.

When she was a child, she had a high fever for three days and nights and almost burned to death before Jiang Meiqi even noticed. It was the servants who realized something was wrong and took her to the hospital for IV treatment, which saved her life.

By the time she returned from the hospital, Jiang Meiqi finally realized she wasn’t at home and assumed she had snuck out to play. Without listening to her explanation, she ordered her to be locked outside to reflect upon her actions without supper.

It started raining in the middle of that night, and she, having just recovered a bit from the fever after the IV treatment, almost passed out again in the rain.

It was only when Rong Nanfeng suddenly came back from outside that Jiang Meiqi allowed her to enter the house. However, she was only permitted to come inside because Jiang Meiqi admonished her to stay in her room and forbade her to go out, not wanting Nanfeng to see her condition.

After Rong Weiwei arrived, Jiang Meiqi cared even less about her.

In the Rong family, she was like an invisible existence—if it hadn’t been for the servants who still prepared a meal for her, Jiang Meiqi probably wished she truly didn’t exist at all.

Such a person actually made an unprecedented move to ask her why she had a boyfriend and didn’t tell her.

No, she had never brought it up.

Back then, when she was dating Shi Mufeng, she had mentioned it to her. At first, Jiang Meiqi showed no interest and even seemed to dislike the idea of her being with Shi Mufeng. Later on, when Rong Weiwei took a liking to Shi Mufeng, Jiang Meiqi’s attitude changed dramatically, often inviting Mufeng to their home.

She was young then and didn’t understand.

Looking back now, Jiang Meiqi probably saw Weiwei’s feelings for Mufeng and invited him over as a way of creating opportunities for Weiwei.

She was just too naive to understand anything.

Now she’s showing concern for her affairs—what is she up to?

Jiang Meiqi didn’t know what was going through Rong Yan’s mind, but, seeing Rong Yan’s attitude, she was very displeased and said, “What do you mean? Are you accusing me of not caring enough about you?”

“Think about it, how am I supposed to care for you? Over the years, you’ve done so many things to disappoint me. Later, when I sent you abroad to study, you wouldn’t concentrate on your studies. You sneaked back into the country without telling me. Even when I called you, not once did you answer properly. You either talked back or didn’t pick up the phone at all. Those who know know I’m your mother, those who don’t might think I’m some enemy to you.”

“Mom, don’t get angry. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor has told you to avoid any emotional agitation. How could you forget?” Rong Weiwei said, trying to calm her down.

Rong Yan looked at the deep mother-daughter bond before her, realizing that Weiwei’s mention of the hospital was intended for her ears. She pursed her lips, her eyes reflecting a numbness born of habit, “I am dating Li Shengxiao, so what, Mrs. Rong came all the way here just to ask me about that?”

It couldn’t be that simple, could it?

Indeed.

Jiang Meiqi immediately looked at her with intense gaze and said, “Is that what you call dating? Do you think that just because he says you’re his girlfriend in public, that makes you his girlfriend? How did you two start dating? Did Mr. Li ever formally discuss dating you, or did you not even talk about it at all, and it was only later at a banquet that he suddenly mentioned you were his companion?”

Rong Yan could tell Jiang Meiqi was asking whether Li Shengxiao had confused the meaning of companion and girlfriend.

What she had intended to say at the banquet was that she was just his companion; it came out as ‘girlfriend’ by mistake.

What’s most important is that her relationship with Li Shengxiao could only be considered purely…

Rong Yan candidly tore through the pretense in her words, “Are you trying to say that I’m just being kept by Li Shengxiao, right?”
