“Are you implying that Ms. Rong Qi isn’t actually born to the Rong family and could likely be someone else’s illegitimate daughter?”
The “someone else” mentioned, without having to think too hard, everyone knew referred to whom.
Sheng Jian’s face bore a sarcastic expression as he stood in place, quietly watching their performance. He turned to his assistant and said, “Contact Mr. Ye. I’ll handle this one myself.”
The assistant nodded in acknowledgment.
Mrs. Rong Sr. said, “Back then, Chu Jing was found to be two months pregnant when she came back. But at that time, we didn’t think too much about it.”
Sheng Jian’s scandalous affairs had always revolved around the top socialite of the capital city. But those pieces of news had all been suppressed, no one dared to gossip about them. Not even a hint of unpleasant rumors had ever leaked out. Suddenly there was a story behind it all now.
The stage was set, and Mrs. Rong Sr. had been playing a monologue for quite some time, speaking till her mouth was dry. Yet, ironically, Rong Qi was acting like a bystander, neither echoing nor refuting. Mrs. Rong Sr. couldn’t help feeling defeated, considering what tactics to use to lure Rong Qi into the trap.
Unable to hold back, a fearless reporter stepped forward to ask, “Do you have anything to say, Mr. Sheng?”
Everyone held their breath in anticipation, watching the brave soul. They were already offering silent condolences, fearing the next second Sheng Jian would get angry and have the reporter thrown out of the capital city.
To everyone’s surprise, the usually silent Sheng Jian actually spoke up. Sheng Jian appeared completely at ease, “Yes, Rong Qi is my daughter. So what? Is there a problem with that?”
Sheng Jian had admitted it.
Mrs. Rong Sr. was momentarily tongue-tied, frozen in place. She thought, ‘This… isn’t how things were supposed to go! Isn’t he supposed to deny it, take the initiative to reconcile, and then I would lay out conditions for reconciliation?’
The crowd present hadn’t expected Sheng Jian to admit it either. They all gaped at him, unsure how to react. It seemed like the answer they had been hoping for, but something felt off. Sheng Jian seemed to have said something and yet said nothing at all.
Rong Qi’s lips curled up into a smile, her eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement.
The surrounding reporters fell silent, abruptly silenced. After a long pause, they ventured, “But isn’t Rong Qi surnamed Rong?”
Sheng Jian frowned, “What does it matter if her surname is Rong or Sheng? Even if you say she’s my father, I’d accept it.”
Now they were truly at a loss for words. They wondered how could Sheng Jian be so unashamedly cheeky. Yet it was Sheng Jian’s carefree demeanor, accepting any claim, that ironically made people doubt the veracity of the situation.
Still not giving up, the reporters turned the microphone towards Rong Qi, “Ms. Rong, care to explain?”
Rong Qi’s lips quirked, she lifted her gaze slightly, and her delicate face bore a smile that was part mockery, part amusement. But what they didn’t know was that just this slight glance captivated everyone present. Not only them, but even the viewers in the live broadcast room inhaled sharply.
[Damn, her beauty is out of this world!]
[If I’m not mistaken, she appears to be bare-faced.]
[My goodness, why isn’t she a celebrity? Are those talent scouts blind? Scouts, come here, I’ll offer a huge signing bonus. I’m tired of the same old aesthetics, please, I want to see her on screen.]
[@ Starlight Entertainment (a)Galaxy Entertainment @ Luminous Media @SixtySix Film Productions, come out, all of you, sign her for a huge sum! Do you need VIP treatment? I’ll provide it. Do you need money? I’ll buy it, okay? I’m truly fatigued by the current aesthetic, I beg you, I want to see her.]
[Sincerely requesting Ms. Rong to join the industry. I’m so envious; even with ten layers of foundation, I don’t look as good as her bare face.]
[Honestly, because of her eye-catching beauty, I can forgive anything. If I looked like her, I’d strut sideways everywhere just to flaunt it..]
