Du Ruoxin?
She's back?
The moment Ai Wei saw the woman before her, a flicker of panic clearly crossed her face.
But soon, she suppressed her unease and smiled as if she were a flower, "Ruoxin, do you like this bag too?"
Turning, Ai Wei looked at the sales assistant, took out her credit card, "Wrap it up, it's a gift for Miss Du."
Du Ruoxin snatched the bag from Kristino's hand and placed it back on the display counter, "I don't have the habit of snatching other people's love, I'm returning it to you."
She didn't care for anything Ai Wei fancied.
"Oh really?" Ai Wei retorted sarcastically, but her eyes were fixed on Kristino, scrutinizing him, "Then why did you go to such lengths to snatch Ah Jing from me four years ago?"
"If you hadn't used despicable methods, Ah Jing would have married me."
Du Ruoxin: ?!
What despicable methods?
She broke out in a cold sweat at Ai Wei's words. If her elder brother were to inquire further...
This is suicidal!
"Heh heh—" Du Ruoxin let out two cold laughs, "Miss Ai really likes to put gold on her own face."
"Even without me, Rong Jingyang would never have married you."
"Do you know why?"
Ai Wei's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and she said with a stiff, forced smile, "I'm all ears, but Ruoxin should consider more about how to get the divorce."
"Or, lower your demands and don't ask for 30% of the Rong family shares?"
"Ah Jing will definitely sign immediately."
Du Ruoxin's long eyelashes blinked in shock. When did she ever ask for 30% of the Rong family shares?
She turned to look at her elder brother.
A hint of realization flashed across Kristino's stern expression. So, Rong Jingyang refused to sign the divorce because he couldn't bear to part with the Rong family shares?
He curved his lips coldly and said mockingly, "Xin'er, it seems that in his heart, money is more important than you."
At this moment, Grace also walked in carrying Rong Doudou.
As soon as Rong Doudou saw Ai Wei, she immediately put on a stern little face, "Mommy, make her leave!"
"This bad auntie always likes to pester Daddy."
"Grandma said she's a spider spirit."
Du Ruoxin listened to her daughter's childish words, wanting to laugh, yet something pricked her heart?
Rong Jingyang...
He's been entangled with Ai Wei? Even their three-year-old daughter knew?
"Doudou, you've misunderstood Auntie." Ai Wei put on an innocent act and looked at Rong Doudou, deliberately "explaining," "Your Daddy has difficulty moving around, Auntie is taking care of him."
"Taking care of his food, clothing, housing, and daily life, taking care of him to recover sooner, do you understand?"
"If it weren't for Auntie's care, your Daddy would be lying in bed every day, giving up on himself, and refusing to do rehabilitation training."
Nonsense, utter nonsense!
Rong Doudou's eyes turned red with anger, her little face puffed up with indignation, "You're lying, Daddy was sad because Mommy left!"
Du Ruoxin hugged her agitated daughter and comforted her, "Alright, Doudou, we are ladies, how can we be provoked so easily by a few words?"
Whether Rong Jingyang was sad about her leaving or not, she didn't know.
Du Ruoxin only knew that when he needed companionship the most, it wasn't her who stayed by his side.
It was Ai Wei.
Imagining Ai Wei taking care of Rong Jingyang just like she did a couple of days ago...
Du Ruoxin's heart felt as if it were being squeezed.
It ached, sending shivers to her core.
"But, but—"
The bad auntie was clearly talking nonsense, why wasn't Mommy letting her refute?
Du Ruoxin placed her fingertip on her daughter's lips and shook her head. She said, "Doudou, be good. Since Grandma said she's a spider spirit, why should we bother with her?"
Rong Doudou: ———
She blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, as if understanding but not quite, "Oh~~"
"Yes, just because a dog bites us, we shouldn't bite the dog back."
Once, the nanny was bitten by a stray dog, and Grandma taught her this.
"Mommy, is that what you mean?"
You're the dog!
Your whole family are dogs!
Ai Wei's expression clearly became strained. She wanted to curse, but she had to maintain her carefully crafted persona of pure, kind, innocent little white flower.
"Hahaha." Du Ruoxin gave her daughter a thumbs-up, "Our Doudou is so smart."
Rong Doudou was overjoyed at her mommy's praise, her eyes narrowing into slits as she smiled, but suddenly, she became a little confused, "But the dog bit me and it hurt, I'm so sad, should I just watch her leave triumphantly?"
"Who said that?" Du Ruoxin said sternly, "We can find someone to sew its mouth shut."
Rong Doudou turned to look at Ai Wei, her dark, bright eyes flickering with excitement.
Ai Wei's face turned extremely awkward. She wasn't a dog!
She—
Biting her lip in secret, Ai Wei said, "Ruoxin, Doudou is still young. If you teach her like this, Ah Jing will be unhappy when he finds out."
Du Ruoxin retorted coldly, "If he's unhappy, then you'll be happy, won't you?"
"Miss Ai, how is it that after I've been gone for a year, you've been serving him day and night, taking care of Rong Jingyang tirelessly, yet you still haven't become Mrs. Rong?"
"It seems you have no affinity with wealthy families, or perhaps, you're destined to be just a mistress?"
Regardless of Du Ruoxin's sarcastic remarks, Ai Wei maintained her impeccable smile. Her psychological fortitude was truly the epitome of scumbags, "Ruoxin, I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, Ah Jing won't let me suffer any grievances."
Pfft—
Du Ruoxin was disgusted by these words.
If mistresses had levels, Ai Wei would definitely be a king.
"Slap—"
Unexpectedly, with a heavy and swift slap, Du Ruoxin struck Ai Wei across the face.
"He can't bear to let you suffer any grievances, but I can!"
"Ai Wei, if you disgust me again, it won't be just one slap!"
Why waste words with a scheming bitch?
Just hit her directly!
After all, she was still Rong Jingyang's wife, possessing the capital to be audacious.
"Ah—"
Ai Wei was slapped to the ground, her vision blurring.
"Du Ruoxin, you hit someone—"
I'm calling the police to arrest you!
Ai Wei was about to utter a threat, but Kristino stepped forward, blocking between them.
Her gaze unexpectedly met the man's deep, cold blue eyes. Instantly, Ai Wei felt as if she were being stared at by countless wolves lurking in the dark, sending chills down her spine.
She wilted.
Because someone had told her that Kristino was the head of the Rothschild family.
That powerful, mysterious family that controlled global economics.
It was said that most politicians in the United States were controlled by the Rothschild family.
"Brother, put this woman on the high spender blacklist!" Du Ruoxin commanded haughtily, then picked up her daughter and left.
In other words, from this moment on, all luxury goods, haute couture, high-end establishments, including but not limited to hotels, clubs, top beauty salons, and first-class cabins on planes, and all other places favored by the world's wealthy, under the Rothschild family, would be closed to Ai Wei.
Moreover, the Rothschild family's high spender blacklist was more terrifying than a country's consumption restriction, because it faced the entire globe!
Kristino glanced at the woman, who was in a state of bewilderment.
He coldly lowered his long eyelashes.
After making a few phone calls, Ai Wei was blacklisted.
In fact, Kristino quite liked this woman named Ai Wei, as long as she could make Xin'er unhappy and leave Rong Jingyang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have watched her argue with Xin'er today.
It was just a pity that she had a sharp tongue but was a bit weak in actual combat.
Flicking a business card onto Ai Wei's face, Kristino turned and left with a stern stride.
