Rhee was not happy about this comment.
Anyone attempting to spread dirt on her daughter-in-law would not get away with it.
She took a step forward, standing in front of Jian Qing, glaring at Zhang Tong intimidatingly, “Mrs. Song, while you can eat anything, you shouldn’t spew nonsense. Did you see my daughter-in-law push your daughter?”
Like mother, like daughter, they both had a knack for sickening conversations.
Song Xirou’s face changed slightly; with Rhee’s mention of “daughter-in-law”, it was like a bolt from the blue. She clenched her fingers under the sheets, her sharp nails digging into her palm, but she didn’t feel any pain.
“Mrs. Quan, did I say something wrong? My Rourou is kind-hearted; that’s why she said that Jian Qing did not deliberately push her. Whether it was accidental or intentional, only the people involved would know,” Zhang Tong challenged back defiantly.
If it wasn’t for Jian Qing, her Rourou might have been the future wife of the CEO of JK International. It was all ruined because of Jian Qing, stealing the good opportunity her Rourou had.
“Ha!” Rhee sneered sharply, “Well, you’ve said it yourself, only the people involved would know. So, you shouldn’t simply slander someone based solely on your daughter’s one-sided story. After all, the saying ‘harsh words often backfire’ isn’t something new to you.”
Upon finishing, her gaze fell on Song Xirou, her eyes emitting a sharp gleam, “Miss Song, did you say yourself that you fell down the stairs because Jian Qing pushed you?”
Meeting Rhee’s cold, purple gaze, Song Xirou shrank back involuntarily, her face wearing a façade of hardship, as she nodded slightly.
“However, I believe Jian Qing didn’t do it on purpose. We shouldn’t dwell on this matter anymore, since we are all friends.”
She said gently, directing a soft smile at Jian Qing.
“Jian Qing, don’t worry, I am alright now. So, you don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
Jian Qing looked at her indifferently, finding her “contrived smile” utterly unpalatable.
It seemed that no matter what, she was adamant about throwing this dirty water at her.
“How could we let this go, Rourou? She hasn’t even apologized, and your kindness might not necessarily be accepted.” Zhang Tong remarked sarcastically.
At her words, Rhee’s good upbringing was barely holding; she really wanted to lash out at Zhang Tong.
Damn it! This mother-daughter duo’s mutual playacting was utterly nauseating.
“Mom!” Jian Qing held her back. Rhee met her calm and clear gaze, feeling instantly soothed. She took a step back, standing by Jian Qing’s side.
Jian Qing walked slowly towards Song Xirou, each step she took felt as if she was stepping on Song Xirou’s heart, causing a sense of unease to well up within her.
She subtly moved back, her eyes filled with a tinge of wariness.
“What are you trying to do?” Seeing Jian Qing stopping by the bedside, Zhang Tong sounded like a mother hen protecting her chick.
Jian Qing ignored her, looking down at Song Xirou, her lips stretching into a cold smile, “Song Xirou, I think it’s better to get to the bottom of this. Besides, you and I have never been friends. Stop pretending there’s any sort of connection between us.”
Her icy voice struck Song Xirou with a cold realization.
Her face changed drastically, unable to maintain her smile.
“How can you be so rude? My daughter Rourou is not holding grudges against you. Not only are you not showing gratitude, you are even sarcastically criticizing her.” Zhang Tong complained, “Even if you have Jingwu as your backer, you can’t behave arbitrarily, right?”
Jian Qing raised her eyebrows, glanced at her lightly, and said nonchalantly, “Shut up.”
Her cursory two words instantly inflamed Zhang Tong.
“Jian Qing, you are going too far.”
Off to the side, Rhee lowered her head, trying to conceal a smile.
Her daughter-in-law was fantastic!
Jian Qing looked at her indifferently, “Am I going too far?”
“You pushed my Rourou. Our Song family will never let this go.” Zhang Tong straightened her back, stating firmly.
Jian Qing laughed lightly, but upon closer look, there was no mirth reflected in her eyes, “Your daughter randomly slanders others, and you as a mother, without distinguishing right from wrong, directly points fingers at others. You tell me, am I the one who’s going too far, or is it you, mother and daughter, who are going too far?”
If she were to really cross the line, she would make them instantly realize what a true demon looks like.
“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to accuse my Rourou of framing you? Jian Qing, my daughter is injured badly, how can you be so cruel?” Zhang Tong’s screechy voice was a bit annoying.
Madame Quan glanced at Zhang Tong, her brow furrowed slightly.
Song Xirou noticed the dissatisfaction expressed between Rhee and Madame Quan, her eyes subtly dimmed, and she pulled on Zhang Tong’s sleeve.
“Mom, stop it, I’ve already said it was unintentional on Jian Qing’s part.”
Even now, she still insisted that Jian Qing had pushed her down the stairs.
“Does your saying ‘unintentional’ absolve everything? Look, Rourou, she does not even show a hint of regret.” Zhang Tong countered.
Jian Qing asked in a frosty voice, “Are you done talking?”
Her cold gaze swept over the mother and daughter. Song Xirou’s breath hitched, avoiding Jian Qing’s eyes.
“Song Xirou, you’ve repeatedly stated that I pushed you downstairs. Are you sure it was me?” As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair and delicate wrist.
Song Xirou avoided her gaze, “Jian Qing, I know you didn’t mean it, I…”
“Jian Qing, are you trying to force my Rourou to say you didn’t push her?” Zhang Tong could not bear watching her daughter being suppressed by Jian Qing any longer, interrupting their conversation.
Hearing this grating voice, Jian Qing frowned at her, coldly saying, “If you don’t want JK International to take action against the Song family, you’d better shut up now.”
“Are you threatening me?” Zhang Tong glared at her, dissatisfied, “Do you think you can scare me off with such words? Even if Jingwu spoils you, he won’t risk JK International for your sake. Besides, our Song family isn’t someone you can push around either.”
If JK International retaliates against the Song family, they would have to pay a hefty penalty to the Song family for breaching the contract.
Men, after all, prioritize their careers. To put the company’s interest at risk for a woman is simply a fantasy tale. Of course, Jingwu knows what is important and what’s not.
“Since you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Xiaojing yourself?” Jian Qing smirked, took out her phone, dialed a number in front of everyone, and turned on speaker mode.
“Jian Qing, don’t!” Song Xirou’s heart jolted, and she attempted to move but ended up pulling her wound, causing her face to turn pale from the pain.
Jian Qing calmly looked at her, undeterred, waiting for the call to be connected.
In a short while, a masculine, husky voice came from the other end of the phone.
“My dear!”
Song Xirou, with her head bowed, upon hearing the man’s voice, furrowed her eyebrows even more.
