The crowd comforted Mrs. Rong Sr., “Madam, please take your time, there’s no rush.”
At that moment, someone in the crowd also echoed Mrs. Rong Sr.’s sentiments, “I’ve also heard that the Rong family is now falling apart. Mr. Rong had a car accident and has been in the hospital ever since. It seems like what this madam is saying might be true.”
And as if to confirm Mrs. Rong Sr.’s words, the same live broadcast was happening from Rong Tianshi’s ward. At that moment, Rong Tianshi’s ward was filled with reporters carrying cameras. They held a picture of Rong Qi and asked him, “Is the woman in this picture your daughter?”
Rong Tianshi nodded with difficulty. At the same time, Rong Feiyu, looking pale and haggard, was by his side.
The reporters turned their cameras toward Rong Feiyu since they couldn’t get much information from Rong Tianshi.
Rong Feiyu appeared a bit flustered suddenly facing the cameras. She quickly put on a mask to cover her pale and haggard face, but the dark circles around her tired eyes were evident.
A reporter asked, “Are you also Mr. Rong’s daughter?”
Rong Feiyu nodded and replied, “I am his younger daughter, my name is Rong Feiyu. My father is not in a condition for interviews right now, could you please give us some space?”
Rong Feiyu’s voice was fragile with a hint of pleading. It made everyone feel sympathetic for her.
“Ms. Rong, have you been by your father’s side ever since he had the car accident?”
Rong Feiyu didn’t speak. She didn’t confirm or deny.
The reporter continued, “Then, has Rong Qi visited?”
Rong Feiyu slightly raised her head upon hearing that, attempting to explain on behalf of Rong Qi, “Maybe… maybe she’s just too busy.”
“So that means Rong Qi hasn’t visited?”
Reporters are adept at exploiting gaps in a narrative. Just a sentence or two was enough to steer public opinion, yet Rong Feiyu’s response was ambiguous.
“Ms. Rong, do you know about the relationship between Rong Qi and Mr. Sheng, the King of Rough Jadeites?”
Rong Feiyu shook her head, “I’m sorry, that involves my sister’s private life, I can’t disclose it.”
By refusing to disclose, Rong Feiyu was implying that she knew the inside story, and her statement was loaded with implications.
The reporters were now convinced that Rong Qi was indeed Sheng Jian’s illegitimate daughter.
“One more question, I’ve heard that Mr. Rong’s injuries are severe, and he needs a large amount of medical expenses. Are you covering these costs all by yourself?”
When it came to that, Rong Feiyu’s eyes welled up with tears. She clenched her hands tightly and said with a choked voice, “No matter how difficult, I will never give up on my father. I will work hard to earn money for his treatment.”
Rong Feiyu’s words hinted at the hardship she faced, but never mentioned who was actually covering the medical expenses, nor did she mention Rong Qi’s previous life-saving blood donation to Rong Tianshi.
Just hearing that was enough to enrage netizens. They started cursing in the live broadcast chat.
[I’ve learned something new today. There are actually such unfilial people in the world? Why doesn’t she just die?]
[She can’t even take care of her critically ill father, yet she’s seeking petty advantages by acknowledging another rich man as her godfather. Such a person should not exist!]
[Huh, just now the posts about her were withdrawn, you see? This is the power of capital! I heard she’s still a student at Capital University. Does Capital University accept just anyone now?]
[She looks decent, but who knew she had such a hard heart at such a young age.. I just want to say that karma goes in full circle, and one day she’ll get her comeuppance!]
