Chapter 235: Chapter 235
"After bringing down me and my brother, are you feeling proud?"
In the small forest, Rong Meng lowered her head, kicked a pebble beneath her foot, and then looked at the young man opposite her, her gaze seemingly mocking.
She had thought that Rong Zhi was just like that, that no matter her status, she would never gain Rong Fangjun’s favor. But who would have thought she would refuse even the Rong Family’s help, climbing to her current position on her own.
Ultimately, Rong Zhi had hidden too deeply, causing her to misjudge.
First in the grade, perfect scores in Olympiad math, the new chief of the Huajing Group, and those miraculous medical skills — each one of them could make the Rong Family boast for half a day.
Rong Meng admired her as well; enduring their disdain and bullying for so long would have broken her many times over.
She had asked this question many times in her heart. Since things were now so blatant, she might as well ask directly. The answer she couldn’t find, she’d let the person involved tell her.
"Why were you so fortunate to learn so many skills," Rong Meng’s gaze gradually turned cold, her hostility toward Rong Zhi becoming ever more apparent, "why were you able to receive everyone’s forgiveness, just because you were a victim? Just because you were innocent?"
"But Rong Zhi, you ask yourself, what did we do wrong to you from the beginning to end?"
Rong Meng was one of the only two girls in their circle, besides Shen Luoluo, she was the most focused upon.
Every time there was a banquet involving her, even though the Rong Family was in decline, they were still an immovable big tree for the time being, and people would attend considering the possibility of a future marriage alliance.
She was clear since childhood about where she would end up, so she worked desperately, learning the cello, learning etiquette, learning everything that could attract outsiders’ attention, even going as far as to teach Shen Luoluo the wrong things as a child so all eyes would be on her alone.
Ten years of painstaking planning, all shattered because of Rong Zhi’s return.
Rong Meng was utterly unwilling.
Even though she knew it was not Rong Zhi’s intention, the mistake was made, so why return, making the mistake public and even continuing it?
Why not let the mistake die eighteen years ago?
After saying this, she stared at Rong Zhi.
The young man leaning against the tree trunk had one hand in his pants pocket, his black and white fox eyes calm and indifferent, casually glancing at her, his gaze lightly mocking.
Rong Meng pressed her lips together, inexplicably angry, too lazy to maintain even a veneer of gentleness, and spoke in a low voice, "Forget it, asking you is pointless; it would be a miracle if you’d tell me with your temper."
Her tone was quite sarcastic, and she didn’t allow Rong Zhi to answer, continuing on her own, "I came to tell you that mom is hospitalized, the company is collapsed, dad is overwhelmed, brother is about to be sued into jail by you, and the Rong Family is shattered. Are you satisfied?"
Ying Man was sent into the hospital that day and soon transferred to ICU. Who would have thought that when the young man made a move, it was so ruthless? No one knew what Rong Zhi did to Ying Man, and now she lay in the ICU unconscious.
Rong Zhi straightened slightly, looking down at Rong Meng from half a head taller, slowly uttering each word: "Not satisfied."
No matter how the Rong Family was, it was nothing in her eyes compared to He Songzhi.
Upon hearing that, Rong Meng was instantly speechless with rage.
The sisters’ second conversation ended in the same unhappy result.
Rong Meng snorted coldly and turned to leave the small forest.
Rong Zhi took a few steps forward and then turned slightly, speaking expressionlessly, "Not leaving, do you want to be a snowman there?"
"Cough, cough, cough."
A series of coughing sounds came from within the small forest.
Ying Hengyu emerged from behind a tree, brushing off a shoulder full of snow, and walked up to Rong Zhi in a few steps, turning his face with curiosity, "Brother, how did you know I was here?"
Rong Zhi glanced over at the spot where Ying Hengyu was just standing, speaking lightly, "You left footprints."
The small forest was covered with quite a bit of snow, and she could just see the path Ying Hengyu had taken, even if she didn’t see the footprints, she could sense it.
Ying Hengyu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, clicking his tongue lightly, "Alright, you’re still impressive, but don’t worry, brother, I didn’t hear anything just now."
He was assuring her that he wouldn’t speak about what had just happened.
Rong Zhi didn’t care, responding with a simple "mm" as acknowledgment.
The class bell rang, and Rong Meng left the teacher’s office with her leave slip.
Fortunately, it was during class time now, so there weren’t many people on the playground. She didn’t have to endure those cold stares and sighed with relief as she walked towards the school gate.
She had arranged with the driver to visit Ying Man in the hospital today. After getting into the car, she took out her phone to send a message to Rong Xian’an while directing the driver to drive.
Nobody noticed, or perhaps nobody expected, that even though the light was red, a vehicle suddenly sped recklessly towards them.
A large truck, over a meter taller than a sedan, crashed straight ahead.
In the driver’s eyes, wide open in the end, he only saw a girl in the driver’s seat, her face twisted and particularly terrifying.
The huge explosion scared surrounding pedestrians into screaming and fleeing, but the driver of the runaway truck opened the door and jumped out, her hair loose, her eyes bulging with madness.
Bystanders hurriedly took out their phones to call the fire department.
The girl walked to the rear seat of the nearly crushed sedan, lifted the steel pipe in her hand, and slammed it against the car window. The Rong Family’s car had been modified, and she had to hit it for quite a while to break it open. The thumping matched her bloody appearance, making her look crazy.
Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out the name, forcefully smashing the window until the glass shattered with a crash, and she thrust a steel pipe directly inside.
Rong Meng, hit by the impact, was dizzy, her forehead in pain, and terribly uncomfortable. Before she could react, she heard someone calling her name, the voice hoarse and unpleasant.
It seemed the person inside the car stirred, and the girl’s face gradually turned maniacal. Her hands, uncontrollably trembling, fumbled in her jacket pocket until she pulled out a round object.
Without thinking, she threw it through the broken car window, a strange smile twitching at the corners of her mouth, whispering crazily, "Die... die, liar, liar, go die!!"
Suddenly, something appeared in Rong Meng’s arms.
She lowered her eyes, struggling to open them wide to see clearly, but her vision was blood red. She raised her hand to wipe the blood off her face, her fingers inadvertently touched something cold. As she finally saw clearly what was in her arms, her face turned to horror.
A major car accident occurred on the road near Mingwu High School, causing an explosion. The police received the alarm and rushed to the scene, apprehending the criminal on the spot.
The injured were already sent to the hospital, only two of them, with the driver dead on the spot. The victim in the back seat was sent to the hospital, underwent critical treatment for twenty-three hours, and her vital signs were temporarily stabilized for observation.
As Rong Zhi turned off the evening news, a call from Rong Xian’an came through. For original chapters go to novel✶fire.net
This time, he wised up, not using a stranger’s number, but directly asked Song Cheng to help call.
"Where are you?" Rong Xian’an’s voice was obviously tired; he must have gone without rest for a long time, sounding particularly hoarse, "Can we talk?"
For the first time, he tried to solicit Rong Zhi’s opinion instead of ordering.
