Chapter 490: She Must Endure
“I’m sorry, sister, I shouldn’t have misunderstood you for sneaking in just now; I was too narrow-minded. When Mufeng mentioned you, I should have done more to explain for you—it was my fault. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad at me; I won’t do it again in the future.”
So many people were watching, her face might as well have been beaten to a pulp.
And it was her own hand that had struck her face, a feeling as agonizing as begging for her life.
“Mr. Li, I hope you can forgive me.”
She didn’t dare not to bow her head.
If Li Shengxiao really went to Xin Lanye, Xin Lanye would definitely ban her. Losing her current glory would be more devastating than mere humiliation.
After all, bowing her head now didn’t mean bowing forever.
One day, she would take her revenge!
Just like five years ago, in the end, it was she who had seized Shi Mufeng, driving out that despicable Rong Yan.
She had to endure, she must endure!
Rong Weiwei quickly bolstered her mental defenses, and at last, her face didn’t feel so scorched.
But her face had been completely lost today; even if her cheeks weren’t burning, the glances around her were enough to make her feel utterly mortified.
Not until she lowered her head to apologize did Li Shengxiao let her go, but it made no difference to her by then; she had already become a joke. If it weren’t for her eagerness to meet the mayor and secure the resources for a tribute film, she couldn’t have stayed another minute.
Shi Mufeng, accompanying her, had lost the grandeur of their entrance. Now, the looks from people around them were all sorts of strange.
The people who had come up to make conversation earlier were gone, and they stood alone in the middle of the venue, like a complete joke—
“My God, that Rong Weiwei is just too funny. Did you see her face just now?” It was green. I’ve never seen someone’s face turn completely green like that before, tsk tsk. If she had that kind of acting on TV, she wouldn’t have been ridiculed on WeChat public accounts when she won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress,” a well-known socialite from Lin City, who had long been displeased with Rong Weiwei, mercilessly mocked her to her companion.
Her companion didn’t have a good impression of Rong Weiwei either and let out a snicker, making a sarcastic remark, “Did I see it? How could I not? Her face was so colorful, anyone with eyes could’ve seen it, right?
When Mr. Li asked her to apologize, I saw her begging this person and that, still stubbornly insisting she was right. I thought she had the backbone and wouldn’t apologize.
But as soon as the talk of blacklisting and freezing came up, she apologized immediately. Pfft. Isn’t Mr. Xin supposed to be her future mother-in-law? I haven’t missed seeing her hinting at her good relationship with the Shi Family in the news. Turns out it was all hot air.”
The few people nearby all looked at Rong Weiwei, who was not far away, pointing and whispering, “She was never a real rich girl to begin with. The Rong Family’s status isn’t even a match for the Shi Family; she’s just an orphan, not even a topic of matching or not. Yet she goes around acting like the respected wife of HuanYu, making outsiders think the Shi Family is eager to marry her off. But nope! I don’t think Shi Mufeng has any intention of marrying her.”
“Let me tell you a little gossip I heard. A friend of my brother told me that Mr. Shi already has a mistress on the side. With Rong Weiwei , climbing up the ranks must be difficult.”
Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, maintaining a whispering level that was just enough for others to catch a glimpse of sound while not being able to hear the whole story.
