“Could it be you and your secret husband escaped to a romantic world of just the two of you?” Lin Xinbei’s mouth was venomous, and he hit the nail on the head.
That’s exactly what freaking happened!
“You really went to a world of just the two of you? Where did Li Shengxiao take you? Was it some luxury plane and yacht package? Or did he book an entire high-end restaurant and take you for a romantic candle-lit dinner?”
“Sorry to disappoint you, none of that happened! We just went hiking.”
“Hiking? What were you doing hiking in the middle of the night? Catching mosquitoes?”
Rong Yan glanced at the time on her phone; he had nearly wasted ten minutes of her time. With a constipated expression, she gripped her phone and asked, “Big brother, what’s wrong with you tonight, clinging on to me ? Are you going to spill it or not? If not, I’m really hanging up; I’m counting to three.”
“I’m just curious what you did during the day…”
Rong Yan’s temples throbbed abruptly, “3.”
“Damn, you’re serious?”
“2.” Rong Yan didn’t want to waste time chatting with him. If she kept letting him talk, she would never get to take a bath tonight.
Seeing her about to count to 1 and ready to hang up, Lin Xinbei finally spoke up, “Alright, alright, I give up! Isn’t it enough that I concede? I’ll talk!”
He had just agreed to talk, but now he was acting shy, “Actually, I didn’t want to tell you today, since it’s your birthday. It’s just that I heard this news by chance and couldn’t help myself from calling you…”
Rong Yan was almost impressed by him. She leaned back on the headboard, crossing her arms, “Are you going to talk or not? If you are going to, then cut the crap. I’m really going to hang up.”
“Fine!” Lin Xinbei clenched his teeth as if he had made a tough decision and said, “Little Demon Rong, you’re about to have a little brother.”
“What?” Rong Yan didn’t catch on immediately.
The person on the other end of the phone raised his voice, “A little brother, I’m saying you’re going to have a little brother! I just heard people say that the Rong family has found their son who has been lost for years, Rong Yao. He’s supposedly your biological brother.”
Rong Yan was a bit dumbfounded.
Since when did she have a brother?
“Are you joking with me? When did Mrs. Rong ever get pregnant that I don’t know about…”
Rong Nanfeng had an illegitimate child who had been secretly raised to the age of eight and urgently needed a legitimate identity. Meanwhile, Mrs. Rong needed Rong Nanfeng to invest in Rong Weiwei’s movie. The two of them must have struck a deal, each achieving their own goals. The most innocent one was Rong Yan. Despite having parents, she was unloved and uncared for, a lone little white cabbage in the field.
Lin Xinbei leaned against the corridor outside the bar, eyes downcast, unsure of how to explain the complex situation to her. He had been as shocked as anyone when he first heard, and once he understood the details, he was just disgusted. If he felt this disgusted, how much worse would it be for Rong Yan if she knew everything?
That’s why he regretted making the call and didn’t want to talk afterwards.
“Rong Weiwei is set to star in Director Stephen’s new movie. It’s said that the Rong family and Shi Mufeng have both invested a hefty sum of money in it.”
Rong Yan’s brain, short-circuited, slowly started working again. She ran through the name of Stephen in her mind, pausing for a moment before she remembered the famous international director.
Stephen was an international director, and with the current status of Rong Weiwei, she was definitely not big enough to star in his works. But even the most acclaimed directors have to bow to capital. If Shi Mufeng and the Rong family were willing to throw money at it, it wouldn’t be unusual for Rong Weiwei to skip levels and star in it!
Ha, no wonder she needed a little brother.
It was all for this reason.
“Are you okay?” Lin Xinbei regretted telling her as soon as he finished, “I told you I shouldn’t say it, today isn’t the right day for this kind of news.”
