Rong Yan knew her far too well; he didn’t miss the fleeting panic on her face when she saw the bracelet. And then, how she became more and more composed, even managing a smile and a thank-you to him.
A furious fire blazed in Rong Yan’s chest, and he squeezed three words through clenched teeth, “No need to thank!”
Because…
She raised her hand and, in front of the dozens of the media and the who’s who of Capital City gathered there, a sharp slap landed on the face of the person still wearing a hypocritical smile!
The slap was brazen and unapologetic.
It turned Rong Weiwei’s face to the side so harshly that the intricately done hair bun came undone, a complete mess.
Shi Mufeng was also caught off guard by her sudden action, quickly stepping up to Rong Weiwei’s side, steadying the shoulders of the person who had just been slapped, and glaring at Rong Yan, “Are you crazy? What do you think you’re doing!”
Rong Yan’s gaze passed over him, landing on the person who looked at her in disarray and fury. She threw the diamond bracelet onto the ground and stepped on it. Right on the bracelet that Weiwei had just called ‘uniquely meaningful and extremely important’ to her, Rong Yan moved in front of the two angry figures and said emphatically, “Rong Weiwei, I used to think you were shameless, trashy, and cheap, but I didn’t realize you were also vicious-hearted! Do you think just because I’ve been polite to you since I came back to the country, not actively causing you trouble, that I have no temper? That I only know how to defensively counterattack after you set me up?”
Rong Weiwei was so terrified by her words that she felt as if her soul was being clamped down, particularly when those pitch-black eyes bore into her.
When did she become so terrifying?
“Now, I’m officially warning you, Rong Weiwei. You’ve crossed my bottom line!
This time, I won’t let you off! Prepare yourself mentally!”
Rong Weiwei’s eyes widened, and her water-like eyes flickered with unease and surprise,
Had Rong Yan gone mad? For a mere reporter who provoked her at the press conference, she couldn’t keep her cool and tracked her down to the hotel to make trouble. Wasn’t slapping her in public enough? Now she was even threatening her in front of so many reporters!
After her initial unease and surprise, Weiwei could barely contain the joy bubbling inside her.
She had been worrying about how to clear her bad name online, and Rong Yan had just walked right into her hands.
Weiwei could barely suppress the jubilation in her heart. It was great that Rong Yan was being so brazen, as it would let everyone see how she was ‘bullied’. When it came time for her to release a statement to whitewash her reputation, she believed her side’s followers would naturally grow!
All around were whispers; the venue was buzzing with noise.
Jiang Meiqi, seeing Weiwei getting hit and then hearing Rong Yan’s ‘wild’ threats, trembled with anger and couldn’t hold back any longer, calling out to the person preparing to leave.
“Stop right there! ”
Rong Yan heard her voice but didn’t stop.
Jiang Meiqi grew even more furious, her face turning ashen as she shouted loudly, “Rong Yan, I told you to stop, do you hear me? I command you to apologize to your sister right this instant!”
Command, apologize… Rong Yan had almost reached the door when she suddenly stopped and turned back, looking calmly at her with eyes bright as stars, lacking any motherly warmth, filled only with indifference and detachment, “Rather than that, I’d prefer to do a paternity test with Mrs. Rong first.
Jiang Meiqi was taken aback, her facial expression stiffening for a moment, as she angrily scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Nothing much, I’m just thinking that perhaps you picked up the wrong baby at the hospital!”
Otherwise, why for so many years, it seemed she was more of Rong Weiwei’s biological mother, not hers!
Having said that, Rong Yan disregarded the annoyed and humiliated reactions behind her, ignored the sea of curious gazes, and walked out of the banquet hall just like that..
