“Move.” Rong Yan had no mood to bicker with her and circled around her, planning to wait for someone else elsewhere.
But just when she thought she could leave, a certain mad dog wasn’t willing to let go.
As soon as Rong Yan stepped aside, Kim Yien blocked her path again. Her face, adorned with delicate makeup, showed a sinister look as she sneered maliciously at Rong Yan. Suddenly, she yanked off the necklace from her neck and shoved it into Rong Yan’s hand, hissing in a low and vicious voice, “You brought this upon yourself, so don’t blame me for being rude! Who asked you to butt in when the role of National Sister was originally mine!”
The next second, she let out a shocked cry, drawing the attention of those around her. Then, with bulging eyes, as if unable to believe it, she pointed at the necklace that she had just forced into Rong Yan’s hand and exclaimed, “Isn’t this my necklace? Yan, why is it with you? If you liked this necklace you could have told me, why would you…”
She covered her mouth, swallowing the rest of her words as if she were considerate of Rong Yan’s reputation, choosing to graciously keep her grievances to herself.
Her sudden outburst naturally attracted a lot of attention.
On recognizing the two people standing together, some familiar taces exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t that… the Rong Family’s daughter who was sent abroad? Didn’t Mr. Rong say she was studying overseas? How come she’s suddenly here, and dressed so…”
Today, Rong Yan was dressed casually in a simple shirt, jeans, and a pair of white canvas shoes, with an overall refreshing look. She also wore a cap and large-framed glasses, giving her a very androgynous appearance.
She stood out awkwardly among a group of meticulously dressed individuals.
The speaking lady’s companion quickly whispered to her, “Ah, you don’t know?
She caused quite the scandal. Not even 18 and she was involved with a man, ended up being photographed by paparazzi going to the hospital for a pregnancy check. The Rong Family was humiliated during that period.” “Then why is she here?”
“Tsk, tsk. Seems like she can’t stand being forgotten and wants to make her presence felt during Old Madam’s 70th birthday celebration.”
“She’s got some nerve.”
“Indeed. Poor Rong Family, what was supposed to be a splendid party has been spoiled by her. And Jiang Meiqi too, to have such a daughter brings disgrace on the family. Stealing at an event like today’s is simply mortifying.”
Whispers continued to rustle all around.
Jiang Meiqi, who had just come downstairs arm in arm with Rong Weiwei, heard the murmurs and gossip around her. Catching sight of Rong Yan confronting Kim Yien in the hall, her fury was so great she wished she could just disappear into the ground!
“Her, I kindly invited her here, and this is how she embarrasses me! She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she!”
Rong Weiwei’s gaze flickered as she steadied her, patting her back to sooth her,
“Mom, don’t be too hasty, there must be some misunderstanding here.”
“What misunderstanding? She’s been caught red-handed stealing someone else’s belongings, caught with the stolen goods, and still wants to argue? She’s really achieved something, hasn’t she? As a child, she stole men, and as an adult, she steals money! Tell me, is there anything she won’t steal?”
Her voice was not quiet, and at least the people nearby heard every word loud and clear.
Rong Yan also heard every word loud and clear, her face turning a shade paler.
This was her family!
These were her parents!
Kim Yien gave Rong Yan a provocative look, her expression becoming more innocent, “Yan, if you liked it, you could have just told me, and I would have given it to you.”
MMP!
Rong Yan clenched the necklace in her hand, just about to rip off the mask and retaliate.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted, “Miss Rong?”
