The next day, the morning sun bathed the earth in its warming glow.
Rong Yan, after a night of pleasant dreams, got up early, washed her face briefly, and left the house.
Estelle had sent her a message early that morning, asking her to come to the company earlier. So, skipping breakfast, she hailed a taxi by the road and made a beeline for the KT headquarters.
The taxi stopped in front of the company.
Rong Yan pulled out money from her purse to pay the driver, then lowered her hat brim and got out of the car. After swiping her card, she walked inside.
It was the start of the workday, and many acquaintances were greeting each other upon meeting.
With her hat on, hardly anyone recognized her.
Rong Yan was heading straight for the elevator with her head down.
Little did she know that an incident was about to occur.
Someone suddenly rushed out from her diagonal rear, grabbed her sleeve, and started hitting her with something they were holding.
“Look at you, Rong Yan! You’re flying high now, not even answering your mother’s calls. You’re never home and always out doing who knows what!”
Whose voice could be so unreasonable and shrewish but Old Madame Jiang’s?
Rong Yan, caught off guard, was hit several times. She hardened her face, grabbed the person causing a scene, and snapped, “Enough!”
She seldom lost her temper, but her sudden outburst frightened the old lady, who paused her assault.
But soon after, she started up again, “What are you going to do, hit me? I’m your grandmother! Rong Yan, now that you’ve got support from behind and you’re all arrogant, you even dare to hit your own grandmother. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning from heaven?”
“Yeah, what are you afraid of? You don’t even recognize your own mother anymore. You don’t answer her calls. Who are you afraid of! I’m going to see today who’s backing you up, you even want to snatch your sister’s role! Aren’t you just dumped by Mufeng? Mufeng himself said that the person he likes is Weiwei.”
“It’s not Weiwei’s fault that Mufeng likes her. Your sister has been apologizing to you all this time, what more do you want! People outside don’t know what happened five years ago, but don’t you know yourself? Are you denying that you were pregnant five years ago? Your private life was a mess, how dare you frame your sister Weiwei and Mufeng on the internet?”
This commotion attracted a lot of attention, especially since it was the rush hour for work, and she came over to make a scene with a particularly loud voice.
“Speak up. You’re so talkative on the internet, aren’t you? Now that there are so many people here, tell everyone in front of us, were you or were you not pregnant five years ago, did you or did you not cheat! I heard that you’re now being kept by one of the company’s executives? Who’s the exec keeping you? Let him come out; I want to see who’s keeping you!”
Pregnancy, cheating, being kept. These keywords quickly sparked everyone’s gossip instincts.
Some recognized Rong Yan and started whispering among themselves.
“Isn’t that Rong Yan, the one from our company who’s been all the rage lately? Who’s that old lady?”
“It sounds like her grandmother.”
“Tsk tsk, I swear I just heard her grandmother say she’s being kept by one of our executives. That’s confirmation, isn’t it? It seems that Rong Yan really is involved with the director.”
“I’m more curious about whether she really was pregnant five years ago. Wasn’t it said online that it was HuanYu throwing mud at her?”
“Her own grandmother is saying it; I think it’s most likely true. In that case, even if Rong Weiwei was the mistress, she herself isn’t clean either!”
