Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
Rong Feiyu planned to take on a couple of variety shows while joining the cast to maintain her visibility. However, when she took out her phone, she was startled by the breaking news notification on the home screen.
“Mom, look at this news!” Rong Feiyu exclaimed.
Rong Feiyu showed Wang Qing the news that had just been captured at the auction venue today featuring Sheng Jian and Rong Qi. The photo, given a black-and-white filter by a reporter, looked a bit blurry.
But precisely because of that, Rong Qi, who was dressed all in black, looked even more regal. Sitting next to Sheng Jian, she resembled a scion of a wealthy family.
Rong Feiyu bit her lips. She couldn’t hide the jealousy in her eyes. She thought, ‘Why is the unloved Rong Qi able to attract attention wherever she goes?!’
“She’s such a shameless woman! Is she openly abandoning her father and calling another man her dad now?” Rong Feiyu scoffed.
A scheming glint flickered in Wang Qing’s eyes after she heard Rong Feiyu’s words.
Back at the auction venue, reporters were still waiting outside despite Rong Qi and Sheng Jian having left. As soon as they saw Sheng Jian coming out, they swarmed up to him, but obviously, this time, the focus of the photographs included Rong Qi. Rong Qi lowered the brim of her hat and followed behind Sheng Jian.
Still, reporters asked questions, and there was no response from Rong Qi or Sheng Jian. However, as the front entrance was completely blocked, an unexpected figure suddenly leapt out. Bursting out, she pointed at Rong Qi and berated loudly, “I can’t live like this anymore! I just can’t bear it!”
Mrs. Rong Sr. came out from nowhere and directly appeared in front of the camera, crying dramatically. The crowd was confused, pausing for a moment. They asked, “You are?”
Mrs. Rong Sr. turned around, pointing at Rong Qi, wiped away non-existent tears, and said, “I am her grandmother! You have no idea, she loves money more than anything else and clings to the powerful. To curry favor with the wealthy, she has completely ignored her own father who is seriously ill in bed, choosing instead to attend some sort of foolish auction! I had no other choice but to come here and ask for everyone’s help! Please, everyone, help me out!”
The crowd thought they caught some gossip and immediately aimed their cameras at Mrs. Rong Sr., flashing incessantly, blinding and disorienting her, making her feel as if the world was spinning.
Sheng Jian’s expression turned icy as his hand, hanging at his side, clenched abruptly. His assistant stepped forward, whispering, “I’ll clear the scene right away.”
However, Rong Qi’s lips curled into an amused smile, and she shook her head subtly, “No need, I want to see just how shameless she can be.”
Someone sensed a juicy story and immediately began a live broadcast, prompting Mrs. Rong Sr. to speak.
In front of the camera, Mrs. Rong Sr. tearfully decried Rong Qi’s wicked deeds, dressed in ragged clothing, looking utterly pitiful. When the truth of a matter is unknown, people are involuntarily inclined to sympathize with the seemingly weaker party.
At that moment, someone in the crowd gathered the courage to ask, “So you’re saying that the young lady beside Mr. Sheng, named Rong Qi, is your granddaughter?”
Mrs. Rong Sr. sniffled, looking pitiable, and nodded, “That’s right. Her father had a car accident, and our family has been busy taking care of her father, neglecting her upbringing, but we never imagined she would take this opportunity to climb into the arms of even wealthier people. Unfortunately, my poor son is still lying in the hospital, unable to afford his medical bills.. Oh, I just can’t go on like this! It would be better if I died now!”
