Chapter 216: Chapter 216

The official Weibo of Rong Group posted Rong Zhi’s past in detail, as if deliberately tearing their own face for others to see, exposing every misdeed Rong Zhi had committed in the past eighteen years.

This kind of family scandal is usually settled behind closed doors, never like the Rong Family, who went all out to drag a youngster down with them.

It’s as if the Rong Family discarded their dignity just to stomp Rong Zhi into the ground.

However, the post was deleted shortly after it was released, and when searched for again, it was flagged as a blocked term. But now, in the internet age, the news had spread widely within half an hour of Rong Group’s release.

Currently, the small families in the Beijing Circle are all discussing it, while the high-society families are observing to see what happens.

Nonetheless, the revelation that Rong Zhi is female shocked everyone.

The Third Young Master suddenly becoming the Third Young Lady, the drama of noble families is indeed jaw-dropping.

The old mansion of the Rong Family.

Rong Fangjun struck the ground hard with his cane, his white hair almost standing on end with anger. Unsatisfied after striking the ground, he aimed to strike the person kneeling in front of him.

"I told you not to let it be known that Rong Zhi is a girl, and what did you do? Went behind my back to your father and got PR to make it public! Now, everyone across the country is laughing at us. Are you happy now, with your selfish desires fulfilled?!"

"She deserved it! Look at what she did to Meng Meng! Was it wrong to reveal the truth and let everyone see her true nature?!" Rong Qichuo looked up, stubbornly glaring at Rong Fangjun.

Rong Fangjun was so angered by his thoughtless words that his chest tightened in pain, gasping for breath while clutching his chest. Lu Zhao quickly stepped forward to support him.

Lu Zhao pulled a lollipop from his pocket and shoved it in Rong Fangjun’s mouth, saying anxiously, "Calm down, sir. Calm down, have a piece of candy to cool down."

A fresh minty taste with a hint of bitterness spread through his mouth. Rong Fangjun took a deep breath to ingest the coolness, barely suppressing his anger. He couldn’t help but suck on the lollipop, leading to a slightly complex expression.

His grandson had angered him half to death, yet now his granddaughter’s candy had saved his life.

Rong Fangjun pressed his lips together, biting the candy hard in his mouth, overwhelmed by a wave of bitterness.

Looking at Rong Qichuo again, he shook his head, a hint of obvious disappointment in his eyes, "Rong Qichuo, your father and I have raised you for twenty years. You’re smart and have your own way of managing the company; we should have been proud of you."

"But which of the things you’ve done now makes us satisfied?! Selfish, arrogant, after learning for twenty years, you still can’t match even half of Rong Zhi’s composure!"

Those words were a harsh critique.

Rong Qichuo, who was accustomed to pride, hated most that those he looked down upon were more outstanding than him, especially now that Rong Fangjun pointed it out, it felt like being stripped bare in public, enraging him like a maddened bull ready to charge.

"Why should she, a rascal from the countryside?! If she hadn’t gone missing then, would the Rong Family have been ridiculed for so many years, or would Mother have suffered neglect because of her disappearance?!"

"Rong Qichuo!" Rong Fangjun’s cane eventually hit Rong Qichuo hard, pointing with trembling fingers at the man who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, his voice shaking with anger, "How old are you, and you still can’t tell right from wrong!"

The event of Rong Zhi being taken away at birth was out of their control; it was initially the fault of the adults, but Rong Qichuo, instead, blamed it all on Rong Zhi, heaping unjust accusations upon her.

Rong Fangjun was extremely disappointed.

After all, the old man was elderly, not very strong, so Rong Qichuo only felt a dull pain that lasted for a while before he sneered at Rong Fangjun, "Who on earth can’t tell right from wrong? If my grandfather and I, both her relatives, can’t untangle this, then let others sort it out."

Hearing this, Rong Fangjun’s heart trembled violently, a sense of foreboding washed over him, "What are you planning to do?!"

Two hours after Rong Group’s official blog went silent, an even bigger scandal broke out.

Rong Xian’an looked at the information on the screen and felt a surge of discontent toward Rong Qichuo for the first time.

Originally, Rong Qichuo intended to drag Rong Zhi step-by-step into a trap before delivering a fatal blow, but the identity card Rong Zhi revealed last time directly hit him. Knowing that Rong Zhi was the one who had saddled him with the plagiarism label, how could he hold back from attacking?

Coupled with the exposure of the identity, his scheming mind could not hold back anymore.

Rong Xian’an rubbed his temples in frustration and instructed his secretary to have the PR remove the update. Once the secretary left, responding affirmatively, he leaned back in his chair, exasperated.

As the online revelations poured in one after another, hardly anyone was eating or sleeping, everyone was up to feast on the gossip.

The comments under Rong Group’s official blog exceeded ten thousand.

"Holy crap, holy crap, big noble family gossip, the fact that a noble lady is actually working in a bar, wow, what kind of work? Is it what I’m thinking?"

"I heard that the place she lived earlier had terrible public security, could it be..."

Some people always use the greatest malice to speculate about others, regardless of truth, they only see the bad sides of others, then amplify it, and amplify it again, until it greatly diverges from reality.

Words can save lives, but they can also kill.

That update was still deleted in the shortest time possible, but those curious were already in the know, even idly digging into Rong Zhi’s past.

One by one, from academics to character, and then to a recent video circulating online from Mingwu High School.

It was a scene from the milk tea shop yesterday where Rong Zhi bullied Rong Meng.

After watching the video, their dislike for Rong Zhi reached its peak.

In a booth near the corner of Blue Paris, Ying Hengyu and Bai Yang were engrossed in their phones, fingers tapping rapidly on screens, with a momentum as if to head into a fight.

Ice cubes clinked against the glass, the boy’s porcelain-white fingers lightly swirled an octagonal glass, a thin layer of deep blue liquid swirling at the bottom.

Multicolored lights cast on the glass, refracting a blue glow, accentuating the boy’s exceptionally cool demeanor.

"Where the hell did this little bitch come from running her mouth, Wentianhui quickly open a new account and get her shut down for me!"

Ying Hengyu gulped the drink down in large sips, eyes glued to the phone screen, "Never even met my Third Brother, you’re talking nonsense..."

"Ying Hengyu." A crisp clang as the glass touched the table, mixed with a young, hoarse, indifferent voice, whispered so lightly that no emotion could be detected.

Ying Hengyu shuddered all over, falling silent instantly.

He pursed his lips, hesitated, "Third Brother..."

Just as he spoke, he felt it wasn’t right, but after careful thought, he really couldn’t bring himself to call her ’Sister’.

Rong Zhi picked up the bottle and poured the drink into the octagonal glass, then lifted it to drink, but was interrupted by her phone ringing. She glanced sideways, saw the caller, and answered.

"Where are you? Jiazze said you weren’t home, where did you go?" Ying Yunlin asked with a smile.

Rong Zhi coughed lightly, put down the glass, "Blue Paris."

Ying Yunlin responded, "Okay, wait for me there."

Not long after, Ying Yunlin’s call came again, asking her to let Ying Hengyu and the others continue having fun while she went out to meet someone.
