Rong Shicheng gave Song Jiao a glance and said coldly, "What are you? Teaching me how to do things?"
Song Jiao had not expected Rong Shicheng to speak to her that way, leaving her no face, and she found it somewhat embarrassing.
But she bit her lip and bore it. It did not matter, as long as Mu Lingyun was having a hard time, she could endure this humiliation.
After confronting Song Jiao, Rong Shicheng turned his gaze back to Mu Lingyun, and spoke gently, "How did it come to blows? Are you injured?"
Mu Lingyun was a bit surprised, and subconsciously shook her head, "I'm not injured."
The others were so shocked they couldn't speak.
What? What was this about? Rong Shicheng wasn't about to deal with Mu Lingyun but was asking her if she was injured?
Were they experiencing an illusion?
"She's injured?" Rong Shaofeng felt his elder brother had gone mad, "The one who's injured is me, okay? Look here, here, and here—she's the one who hit me!"
Fuming, Rong Shaofeng shoved Song Jiao aside, stepped in front of Rong Shicheng, and pointed out each injury to him.
Rong Shicheng glanced at Rong Shaofeng's injuries and asked Mu Lingyun, "Did you cause these?"
Mu Lingyun nodded.
Rong Shicheng frowned and, just when Rong Shaofeng thought his elder brother was going to stand up for him, heard him say, "With bare hands? Does your hand hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Rong Shaofeng: ...
He was the one who got beaten, right? He was the one who was in pain, right?
His elder brother did not even ask him a single question, reluctant to even glance at him for a moment, instead showing concern for the girl who beat him!
Why was that? Was there no justice in the world?
Lai Yuan and Song Jiao were also dumbfounded. What was happening? Why was it completely different from what they had expected?
Could it be that Rong Shicheng had taken a liking to Mu Lingyun? But why?
"I'm fine, no need for a hospital," replied Mu Lingyun, much calmer. She figured it must have something to do with the new identity the Check-in System had mentioned.
"If you're sure there's no need to see a doctor, then come with me to the Rong Family's house. The family elders would like to meet you, is that okay?" Rong Shicheng continued.
Mu Lingyun pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The identity given to her by the Check-in System should not go to waste.
"I need to go to the hospital! I need to see a doctor!" Rong Shaofeng, infuriated by his elder brother's actions, started yelling in protest.
Rong Shicheng swept an indifferent look over Rong Shaofeng and suddenly ordered the men in suits and sunglasses behind him with a command, "Take him away."
No sooner had he spoken than Rong Shaofeng was hoisted up and forcibly carried away.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Rong Shaofeng shouted, to no avail.
"If any of today's events get out, no one present will get off easily. Remember that. Don't provoke me or you will regret it later, don't say I didn't warn you," said Rong Shicheng coldly, before leaving side by side with Mu Lingyun.
Watching the backs of Rong Shicheng and Mu Lingyun grow distant, everyone present exchanged glances with each other.
They had come expecting to see Mu Lingyun humiliated, but instead witnessed such a scene.
Lai Yuan's expression turned sour, startled that Rong Shicheng had not made things difficult for Mu Lingyun.
Did Mu Lingyun have connections with the Rong Family? If so, the trouble he went through today to make things difficult for Mu Lingyun, might very well bring him problems.
What should he do?
Song Jiao was seething with anger, clenching her teeth. She had thought Mu Lingyun would be finished, but instead, Mu Lingyun was unharmed.
Why?
Why did Mu Lingyun receive such favorable treatment from Rong Shicheng?
She felt very resentful.
She truly wished that Rong Shicheng had taken Mu Lingyun away with the intention of making her disappear forever!
