My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Deliberately Applying Eye Medicine to Rong Yan

Chu Xi thought that since she represented the Chu Family, Sir Lin would definitely make time to see her. However, to her disappointment, no one from the Lin Family paid any attention to her after the initial meeting with Su Yi and Old Madam Lin until the banquet was over.

Back at Chu Garden, her eyes were red.

Jiang Jingyue saw her leaving happily and coming back aggrieved, her heart softened, "Xi, what happened?"

Chu Xi raised her head, quickly wiped her eyes, seemingly not wanting her to see her sadness, and shook her head, "I’m fine."

Jiang Chenyue, with a piercing gaze, immediately noticed her subtle gesture and her face darkened, "Did the Lin Family make things difficult for you?"

Chu Xi was representing ’her daughter,’ even if not by blood, outsiders didn’t know that.

By not giving Chu Xi face, the Lin Family was essentially not giving face to her real gem!

Her undiscovered daughter was her breaking point, Jiang Chenyue wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her daughter!

"No, no."

"Hesitating before denying it means there is something," her expression grew even darker, her voice was light yet her presence intimidating.

Chu Xi was startled by her clear displeasure, looked down and stammered, "Madam, perhaps I shouldn’t pretend to be the young mistress anymore."

"Why?"

Her voice was low and dejected, "I don’t think I can do it well. Continuing to impersonate the young mistress under her name only leads to misunderstandings and brings shame to her. Today I went to the Lin Family to wish Old Madam a happy birthday on your behalf, and although I gave the painting, Old Madam ended up not accepting it. I didn’t meet the Lin Family General or the old general either. There must have been something I did wrong that disgraced the young mistress..."

"What does the Lin Family mean? Do they want to break off the engagement?" Jiang Chenyue’s beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost, her anger was palpable as she slammed down her coffee cup.

"They think my Xixi is what, something to be decided on a whim?"

It’s a good thing it was Chu Xi today, if it had been Xixi who came back, that would have been even more embarrassing.

Jiang Chenyue couldn’t stand her precious daughter facing any grievance, even though Chu Xi wasn’t her real daughter, she felt her own boundaries were being crossed. Her face full of anger, eyes radiating a chilling energy, she gripped the armrest of the sofa, "They want to protect that woman? I specifically want to handle that woman until she leaves on her own!"

Jiang Chenyue was furious.

She had initially not intended to take issue with a strange young girl, also fully aware that the girl might not know about the engagement. But Chu Xi’s cold reception was a blow to her tolerance, and she redirected her fury towards Rong Yan.

Chu Xi spoke tentatively on behalf of Rong Yan, "Madam, perhaps this isn’t a good idea, Mr. Li does like Rong Yan after all, and I’m afraid Mr. Li might..."

Not bringing it up might have been better, but mentioning it only stoked Jiang Chenyue’s anger further.

Just then, Qin Jun came back and saw Jiang Chenyue’s angry expression. He stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, what happened? Why are you so upset?"

He swept a glance at Chu Xi; his gaze was stern and cold, devoid of Jiang Chenyue’s tolerance.

Seeing this, Chu Xi felt a sudden tightness in her chest and unconsciously clenched her fists.

Her subtle movements did not escape Qin Jun’s eyes. His eyes narrowed, he walked over to Jiang Chenyue, comforted her for a while, and brought her a bit back from her anger, then alluding to something said, "Aunt, didn’t the doctor advise you not to undergo huge emotional fluctuations, that getting too agitated isn’t good for your health?"
