429 Apology

When asking Rong Rong about the eldest young miss of the Shen family, Mother Rong did so in a lowered voice.

So, Shen Ruojing didn’t hear it. However, Mother Rong intentionally raised her volume during the last part of her sentence, allowing Shen Ruojing to hear it clearly and causing her to frown unhappily.

Just as she wanted to speak, Rong Rong already spoke out in a strict tone, “Mother, Little Jing is my friend. I hope you can respect her!”

Hearing this, Mother Rong furrowed her brows. “How can she be considered your friend? She’s merely someone that will lead you astray! I’ve told you to distance yourself from her. You’ve been in the pri…I mean you were away from the world for thirteen years and have no idea how the world has changed! Right now, there are swindlers all around with many ways of cheating people. I’m only doing this for your own good!”

Rong Rong became even angrier. “Little Jing is not a liar. The more you talk, the more excessive you are. Apologize to Little Jing!”

“Apologize? Have you lost your mind? I am your mother! How can you make me apologize for the sake of a stranger?” Mother Rong was about to start hitting someone.

Just as Shen Ruojing was about to step forward to stop her, a gentle voice came: “Mother, what are you doing?”

Then, a charming figure walked out. It was Rong Rong’s younger sister, Rong Yue.

Upon seeing her, Mother Rong’s mood instantly became calm. She patted her chest and said, “It’s all because of your disobedient elder sister. I think she won’t give up until she makes me die of anger! I think our whole family owes her in our previous reincarnation!”

Rong Yue immediately said, “Okay, Mother, don’t be angry.”

Then she looked at Rong Rong, with a look of helplessness on her face. “Elder Sister, Mother is getting older. She has been worried about you for these years, so you should understand her.”

After that, she looked at Shen Ruojing and said firmly, “You must be a friend of my elder sister, right? My mother is worried about my elder sister. I’m sure you won’t have a grudge against her, right?”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

If she had a grudge, would that mean she was bullying the elderly?

Her lips curled.

She didn’t take Mother Rong’s words to heart and was just worried that Rong Rong was not having a good time at home.

Rong Rong disagreed, “If Shen Ruojing doesn’t care, it means that she is magnanimous. However, Mother, didn’t you teach us since we were young that when we do something wrong, we must apologize? Are the three words ‘I’m sorry’ really so difficult to say?”

Mother Rong’s face fell and she was about to lose her temper.

Rong Yue glanced at Shen Ruojing and smiled. “Okay, elder sister, I’ll apologize on behalf of my mother. I’m sorry. Anyway, does your friend want to come to our house and sit for a while?”

Shen Ruojing stepped back and looked at the car in the distance before raising her eyebrows. “No need.”

She gestured for Rong Rong to call her before she turned and departed.

After the car left, Mother Rong glared at Rong Rong. “I am your mother! For the sake of a stranger, you actually made me lose face?”

Rong Rong lowered her gaze. “She’s not a stranger. I told you my release date, but none of you came to pick me up. It was Ruojing who picked me up and gave me a place to stay!”

Mother Rong impatiently said, “How many times have I explained it? That day, your younger sister suddenly fell ill. We were taking care of her at the hospital! Also, we sent the driver over, but by the time he got there, you were gone.”

She continued, “Couldn’t you call since you came out and didn’t see us?”

Rong Rong clenched her fist. “I just got out of prison, where was I supposed to get a phone?”

Mother Rong gasped. “Couldn’t you wait?”

Rong Rong’s heart felt as dead as ashes.

Thirteen years in prison left her wanting to leave as soon as she was released. How could she have waited for them outside?

However, her mother wouldn’t think of this. She would only feel that Rong Rong was irresponsible.

In the past, her mother wasn’t like this toward her. Her mother was very concerned and loved both her and her younger sister.

But ever since she stayed thirteen years in prison, she became her mother’s shame…

Rong Rong couldn’t be bothered to say this. She simply strode past the two of them and headed for the door.

But before she could enter, she heard Mother Rong saying, “How did that Little Jing know your release date? She went to pick you up after you got released probably because she wanted to get close to you. She wanted to send you home as well. Hence, she must have known you are part of the Rong Family, one of the four great families in the capital. She wishes to fawn on you…”

“Mother, enough is enough!” Rong Rong exclaimed. “Little Jing has money! Don’t think that everyone is like you, wanting to ingratiate yourself with wealthy people! Little Jing gets by just fine on her own!”

Mother Rong was furious. “Fine, I let you go and flatter the eldest young miss of the Shen family for your own social status. It was not to let the Shen family give you money! As your mother, what have I become in your eyes? And what do you mean by your friend has money? I remember you once said that the girl who was kidnapped with you was from a small city, so how wealthy could she be?”

Rong Rong answered, “She has so much money that she even bought me a house in Ford City!”

Although Ford City wasn’t as good as the capital, the location of the house was excellent and it was worth tens of millions.

After all, Mother Rong had never given her daughter that much money… Right now, Mother Rong was penniless, and the dowry she gave Rong Rong was worth a million at most.

Rong Rong’s answer was simply to express that Shen Ruojing didn’t need to flatter them, and they didn’t need to flatter her either.

Sure enough, Mother Rong was stunned and didn’t expect Little Jing to be so generous. For a moment, she was speechless.

However, Rong Yue took advantage of the opportunity and spoke up, “Sis, which house in Ford City are you talking about? In the suburbs, an old and dilapidated house can be bought for a few hundred thousand, right? If a few hundred thousand can buy your favor and allow her to gain a connection with the Rong Family, I believe that is worth it. Anyway, the amount of money that the Rong Family can casually take out is worth much more than that.”

Mother Rong also reacted. “Your younger sister is right! I don’t believe your friend is that capable.”

Rong Rong suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her mother fiercely. “Mother, is it because Little Jing is my friend that’s why you think she’s up to no good? Do you look down on her or on me?”

Mother Rong choked.

Rong Rong clenched her fists tightly and her body trembled a little. At this moment, her voice was no longer as resolute as it was filled with helplessness. “Since you look down on me, why do you still want to fetch me back home?”

Mother Rong was dumbstruck.

Rong Rong no longer spoke. She then lowered her head and left.

Mother Rong only regained her senses after she left. After that, she was so angry that her chest began heaving up and down. She spoke to Rong Yue, “This useless thing actually has the cheek to reproach me? I didn’t want to look down on her, but other than the fact that she brought so much shame to our family, what else has she brought us? There was such a good opportunity today, so I told her to get acquainted with the eldest young miss of the Shen Family. However, she refused to do anything. She is simply trash! She is trash and her friend is too!”

Rong Yue patted her back and consoled her, “Mother, don’t be angry. I’ve started looking for people to introduce me to Miss Shen. This friend of mine participated in the science award ceremony, and I’ve asked her to send me the information on Miss Shen.”

As her voice rang out, her mobile phone vibrated.

Rong Yue picked it up and smiled after glancing at it. “See, the info on Miss Shen is here. Let us take a look at her appearance first…”
