Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Not Going to Let it Go Easily
Estelle looked at her nonchalant expression but heard the confusion, astonishment, self-mockery, and numbness hidden beneath.
She herself could hardly digest the news, let alone Rong Yan, the person directly involved.
She walked over, reached out, and patted Rong Yan’s slender shoulder. After a moment of silence, she said, “You said it yourself, you had no knowledge of it. Besides, you haven’t taken anyone’s place, so you certainly don’t owe anybody in this matter.”
From beginning to end, Rong Yan was the one being used.
Until the truth came out, Rong Yan had been calculated by this mother and daughter to the point of being left with nothing.
A ‘mother’ held in high regard, and the orphan of a friend dearly loved by this ‘mother.’ Wasn’t it because of this relationship that Rong Weiwei unabashedly targeted Rong Yan? Otherwise, why would Rong Weiwei be so bold, knowing that Mr. Li was involved?
And it looked like the news hadn’t come from Mrs. Rong.
“I know. Even if I did owe anything, I would have paid it off over these years.” Rong Yan had adjusted her emotions during some time she spent alone; she had long harbored no feelings for the Rong Family. Yet, upon hearing the truth, she still felt an agonizing pain as if her muscles were being wrenched and bones plucked. After the pain, came the rebirth.
“The only thing I’m worried about is that Rong Weiwei is Mrs. Rong’s darling, and now that I’ve sent her darling to the police station, she won’t let it go. All those photos taken by the reporters before have been bought by someone. If I’m not mistaken, they were all bought by her. Once she realizes she can’t save Rong Weiwei, she definitely won’t let me off the hook!”
And the best way for Jiang Meiqi not to let her off was to completely destroy her reputation.
Suddenly, Estelle understood her meaning and realized the severity of the situation. Her well-groomed brows knitted together as she said, “Nick isn’t in the country.”
With Nick, the public relations master, absent, and Rong Yan about to expose such a complex family relationship, on top of Rong Weiwei being the one sitting in jail, a series of chain reactions were bound to occur.
She pondered for a moment, pursed her lips and said, “I’ll call him later.”
She looked at Rong Yan and continued, “The most important thing right now is the AQ grand finals. You were planning to perform singing and playing the guitar yourself, but now that your hand is , playing and singing are out of the question. What do you plan to do?”
Rong Yan glanced at her hand and thought about the performance she had meticulously prepared for over a month, dejectedly saying, “I’ll figure it out when the time comes. I just wanted to give you a heads up about this, so you’re prepared. We might have a tough fight ahead. Or it might be nothing. I’m not sure, but I thought I should let you know.”
Estelle patted her shoulder again, her eyes full of approval, “You did the right thing this time, you definitely should’ve told me, so I can prepare in advance. Otherwise, we might be caught off guard, and a poor response could lead to the same joke Rong Weiwei found herself in today.”
Hasn’t Rong Weiwei’s studio become the biggest joke in the industry today?
Shortly after the news of Rong Weiwei being taken away by the police spread, the team used her social media account to post an ambiguous statement, misleading her fans to believe it was fake news.
The statement was hardly out when HuanYu released its own, confirming that Rong Weiwei was indeed taken by the police, and their faces were slapped resoundingly.
Rong Yan still didn’t know what kind of joke Rong Weiwei had become. Just as she was about to ask Estelle about it, her phone suddenly began to buzz.
