Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“From what we’ve gathered, Mrs. Rong Sr.’s wish is straightforward. She hopes Rong Qi would fulfill her duty as a daughter, support her grandmother, and take care of Mr. Rong,” a reporter said, narrating the unfolding drama.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, reporters swarmed a nurse responsible for Rong Tianshi’s care, bombarding her with questions.
“Could you tell us, miss, who’s been covering Mr. Rong’s medical expenses every day?” a reporter asked.
“The bills are paid by Ms. Rong,” the nurse replied.
The reporter said, “So it was Ms. Rong Feiyu who paid the bills.”
[Haha, I’d like to see how you all are going to clear Rong Qi’s name. With the nurse as a witness, Feiyu is the one who pays the bills.]
The news echoed through the live broadcast, eliciting a wave of mockery. Those who had spoken up for Rong Qi fell silent, and the chat was filled with ridicule directed at Rong Qi.
However, the nurse received a call to deliver the medical bill to the ward, saying someone was there to pay. The nurse felt strange. She had always deducted the amount from Rong Qi’s black card. Puzzled by the change in routine, she headed to Rong Tianshi’s ward, only to find Rong Feiyu surrounded by flashing cameras.
Hesitating, the nurse squeezed through the crowd and addressed Rong Feiyu.
The nurse received a call and was informed that the bills would be covered by Rong Feiyu from that moment onwards.
“Ms. Rong, this is today’s bill for Mr. Rong. How will you be paying? Credit or cash?” the nurse asked, presenting the card machine.
Rong Feiyu stiffened, her face growing paler. “I-I don’t have any money,” she stammered, holding the bill as her heart pounded. She had no such symbol of status as a black card.
As Rong Feiyu struggled, someone in the crowd pleaded with the nurse, “Nurse, Ms. Rong has been paying her father’s bills, and she might not have enough money on her now. Could you give her a few more days?”
But the nurse looked puzzled and asked, “Ms. Rong paying the bills?”
“Yes, you just said it yourself.”
“No, the payer has always been Ms. Rong Qi. We all refer to her as Ms. Rong. We’ve never met this Rong Feiyu before.”
“What? Rong Qi has been paying?”
To prove her point, the nurse produced previous medical bills, all deducted from Rong Qi’s account, and unrelated to Rong Feiyu before them.
The twist stunned the reporters and amused the online audience.
[Haha, slap in the face! So the “dutiful daughter” who’s been at her father’s side day and night hasn’t paid a dime!]
[Seriously, can’t these people use their acting skills for something productive, like maybe in a movie?]
[The nurse doesn’t even recognize Rong Feiyu! Stop the act, we’re not buying it.]
[Wow, forty thousand dollars a day in medical fees, all paid by Rong Qi. She’s amazing..]
