Chapter 340: Learned to be Smart this Time

Estelle pinched the bridge of her nose, her brows slightly relaxed, “It’s good that it’s not the case. If it were true, this matter would be difficult to solve. If not, there’s still room for maneuver.”
But how exactly to maneuver, that’s the hard part!
After all, Rong Yan is unwilling to expose the child and have a paternity test with the other party.
Without a paternity test report, just considering the timing of the pregnancy and the identical blood type report, even if the child has no connection with that old man, netizens would still believe there is a connection. This is the most troublesome part!
She stood up and walked to her desk, picked up the documents on it, and handed them to Rong Yan, “I’ve had someone investigate Rong Weiwei. She’s learned her lesson this time. There are no traces of financial transactions between her and Huang Youde neither in the bank statements nor in the overseas accounts. I even checked her agent’s account, the same situation, based on the accounts, this incident has nothing to do with her. Take a look.”
Rong Yan took the documents and casually flipped through a few pages before putting them down, “She’s not the type to stumble in the same place twice. We just caught her buying online trolls with bank transactions last time, if I were her, I wouldn’t use transfers for transactions this time either. I guess she probably found Huang Youde privately and paid in cash.”
“Moreover, she probably didn’t just give cash, but also told Huang Youde that he could force me to pay a hush money using the child!”
Rong Yan’s conclusions were all speculative, but it had to be said, she wasn’t wrong in her guess.
Rong Weiwei indeed persuaded Huang Youde to cooperate using this approach.
Estelle’s brows were tightly knitted, as she stared at her tensely and asked, “Then what are you planning to do? Even if the child is not related to that man, it’s clear that he came prepared, betting that you wouldn’t dare to come forward to clarify. Are we really going to pay hush money to make that man shut up?”
Actually, paying the money wasn’t an issue, as it was common in the entertainment industry to spend money for peace. But others pay for real scandals, while this time they would be paying to settle a false rumor.
“I’m not planning to pay,” Rong Yan blinked, her gaze clear as she looked at her, a calm smile on her lips as she said, “I don’t think paying once would stop the other side from coming back for more. That man deliberately acted in front of the paparazzi as if Little Baby were related to him, just for extortion! If I pay him once, he will use it to extort us over and over again. I can’t possibly pay him every time, and I don’t have that much money to give him.”
She was broke! She hadn’t even earned her appearance fee, and she already owed Li Shengxiao a gift. The rest needed to be saved for Little Baby’s future. She wanted to split every penny in half before spending it, there was no money to buy any dirt!
Besides, Rong Weiwei was eyeing her like a tiger waiting to pounce.
Now, Rong Weiwei was probably craning her neck, hoping that she would find Huang Youde.
That way, it would be easier to let the paparazzi hiding around to capture the moment, and better frame her with the scandal!
“If you’re not going to pay or clarify, what’s your plan? Just tacitly wait until the news cools off?” Estelle asked with disapproval, “In that case, you’ll never be able to achieve much progress in the future. Think about it carefully!”
A star with a major moral scandal would never make it to the top!
Rong Yan knew what she was worried about, and with a relaxed expression, she reassured her, “I’m not planning to wait for the news hype to die down, I know that the intensity of this news won’t fade anytime soon.”
“I’m thinking of a way. I don’t have a particularly good plan at the moment, but I believe the other party will expose a flaw!”
Rong Yan pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said to her, “By the way, Estelle, I’ve heard that Huang Youde’s wife is very domineering in private?”
