She stopped, looking at Chu Xi as if she were an idiot, arms crossed over her chest, indifferent and calm, "Since you’ve already decided it’s me, why bother asking? You don’t seem eager for me to admit it either. Or did you overeat at breakfast and have nothing better to do?"
She coldly replied, "Sorry, you may have free time, but I don’t. Excuse me for not acpanying you! If you want to find someone to play with, there are plenty of people to keep you pany, but I’m not one of them!"
With Chu Xi’s family background, a mere wave of her hand in Capital City would have hardly anyone dare to refuse her.
Logically, she shouldn’t either, yet she had long offended her fatally. Rong Yan didn’t think that by being servile to Chu Xi, she would be let off the hook.
Given Chu Xi’s current situation where no opportunities were spared to give her a hard time, why should Rong Yan humiliate herself?
"I need to go upstairs and work, suit yourself."
"Stop right there!" Chu Xi blocked her path, her muscles tense under her skin, face looking vicious, "How dare you act like nothing’s wrong in front of me."
Rong Yan shifted her position, crossed her legs, and raised her eyebrows to look at her.
Chu Xi’s face twitched, looking at her with disgust, firing off insults, "What do you amount to? You’re just an orphan born to a mother and raised by no father, causing upheaval in the Rong Family that adopted you. Not content with that, you even want to pete with me. You took my fiancé, took my mother, took my brother, are you really proud of yourself? Let me tell you, even if they like you now, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re of low birth! If we ever have a conflict, they’ll definitely stand on my side. By then, even Li Shengxiao won’t be able to protect you!"
She seemed to feel a bit satisfied, slightly raising her chin, her gaze filled with contempt, "Do you think making me sick behind my back would affect me? Even if I’m not in showbiz anymore, I have the Chu Family inheritance, what do you have? Men’s affection? Ha, do you really think your earth-shattering romance will last long? Once you’re old and ugly, you’ll still have nothing. That’s the fundamental difference between you and me. I don’t lack anything! But you need to depend on others to get into the upper-class circle. The people in this circle will never recognize a schemer like you; they’re only giving you face because they fear Li Shengxiao behind you. Without his support, you’re nothing in their eyes!"
"You managed to get the AQ people to work behind my back this time; what about next time? Eventually, men will tire of you!"
Rong Yan listened, cleaning her ears, her bright eyes looking at her, pletely unfazed by the provocation, calmly asking, "Have you finished?"
"..." Chu Xi’s eyes were nearly burning with poison.
"If you’re done, can I speak?"
She didn’t intend to pare herself with her, but the constant curses were excessive.
Chu Xi glared at her, full of hatred, "Speak if you want. I haven’t sealed your mouth. There’s no outsider here, so there’s no need to pretend to be detached, making me sick for no reason."
Rong Yan chuckled, raised a finger, and held up a 1, "Firstly, I’ve never pretended to be the kind of detached person you’re talking about. If I had to pretend, there’s no need to do it in front of you."
"Secondly." She raised another finger, looking at the indignant woman in front of her, "Who my parents are isn’t a reason for you to attack me. No one gets to choose their birth. No matter what kind of people they are, they gave me life, and for that alone, I’m grateful to them."
