Rong Jingyi had said such good words to Jiang Xi, thinking she would know how to be discrete and tactful, yet she was flatly rejected.
Her expression somewhat stunned, "Mrs. Gu, you don't want to refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Jiang Xi didn't want to fall out with Rong Jingyi, as she was Rong Nian's sister, and both publically and privately, she should give way to her.
"Miss Rong, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth like some young lady. Everything I learn, I have to scrounge for. If I want to make a living under the hands of you rich young ladies and gentlemen, I have to use every trick I have. It's as easy as flipping a hand for you to push me into the mud, so what do I do then? If you really want to drive me to the wall, I have no choice but to shamelessly cling to President Rong's life-saving straw and not let go."
"You!" Rong Jingyi stood up in anger and picked up the coffee from the table and threw it right at her.
