Rong Yan was prepared to act as if she had not seen the couple but her presence did not go unnoticed. The woman’s eyes were too sharp.
“Sister?” Rong Weiwei’s voice always sounded pretentious to Rong Yan.
Rong Yan ignored the call and stepped around them to leave.
Rong Weiwei had no plans to let Rong Yan escape. The woman blocked Rong Yan’s path and put on a surprised look. “It’s really you. Why didn’t you tell me you’re back?”
With her escape route blocked, Rong Yan was forced to face her past.
“Tsk.” Rong Yan stood firm and folded her arms over her chest. She let out a laugh.
The laughter was akin to sunlight shining through a parted cloud cover—beautiful and eye-catching. A daughter from a humble family like Rong Weiwei could never compete with such a natural beauty.
“Tell you? Are you teasing me, Rong Weiwei? Are you imagining a non-existent bond between us? Or are you practising your lines with me? This is too sudden, what am I supposed to say? If I cussed at you, you’re gonna put on a victimized face, so why should I play along?”
Rong Weiwei did not answer. Instead, the man beside her spoke up, frowning. “Rong Yan, why are you taking that tone with Weiwei? She’s just happy to see you. There’s no need to be unkind.”
Shi Mufeng was the mayor’s son. Born to a respectable family, he achieved great things at a young age and was one of the most eligible bachelors. Sadly, the man was scum.
“Are you jealous because Weiwei and I got together? Is that why you’re picking on her?” Shi Mufeng’s expression darkened as he tugged Rong Weiwei to his side. He stood protectively in front of the woman and had a scornful expression. “Check your facts. Five years ago, you were the one who cheated on me. It was your fault that we broke up. If you have any misgivings about the past, direct them to me, not Weiwei!”
“Mufeng…” Rong Weiwei wore a grateful expression. She bit her bottom lip and tightened her hold on the man’s arm. She took a deep breath and turned her almond-shaped eyes to Rong Yan. “Sister, I’m sorry but we really are in love. I hope we can have your blessing.”
Did Rong Weiwei flag her down just to perform this lovey-dovey scene?
Rong Yan was the one who cheated? She scoffed at the bastards. They were the ones who were caught tangled up with each other during Rong Yan’s birthday party.
They were the most shameless people Rong Yan had ever met. She exhaled and eyed the couple. With a half smile, she said in a mischievous tone, “You have my blessing! A bitch goes well with a mutt. I hope you stay together forever!”
A bitch goes well with a mutt. I hope you stay together forever!
Shi Mufeng’s handsome face was pinched as he shouted, “Rong Yan!”
Rong Yan rubbed her ear and side-eyed the angry man. “Young Master Shi, keep your volume down. I’m not deaf, thank you.”
At that, she turned to leave. Two steps later, she stopped and looked back. Rong Weiwei had an angry expression. Rong Yan waved the phone in her hand and said, “Oh, right, if you really want my blessing, maybe I should release that exciting recording I took on my birthday party five years ago. I’m sure the netizens will have many words for you then. After all, it’s a sex scene starring the Golden Eagle’s Most Popular Actress. Such amazing skills that even her sister’s boyfriend couldn’t resist, I can’t possibly deprive the world of such talent.”
Rong Weiwei’s face turned ashen.
Rong Yan sneered. “I see my blessing is not welcomed. Then, I shall take my leave.”
The clip was taken on her 18th birthday. She had a surprise planned for her then-boyfriend but who knew she would witness a ‘surprise’ performance by her adopted sister and the man.
Rong Yan had to listen to Shi Mufeng confess his love for Rong Weiwei and say he was just waiting for the right time to break up with her.
Back then, Rong Yan had been furious and had recorded the shameless exchange between the pair on her phone. Before she could expose them, she was drugged by Rong Weiwei which led to the nonmarital pregnancy incident.
Rong Weiwei did not expect Rong Yan to have blackmail material on her. In her agitation, she clutched her boyfriend’s hand. “Mufeng, what should we do?”
Shi Mufeng’s face turned somber as he sensed the unwelcomed attention on them. He patted Rong Weiwei’s shoulder reassuringly and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll get her to delete it. Just wait here.”
Rong Weiwei’s eyebrows scrunched into a worried expression. “I’ll follow you.”
Rong Yan’s disdainful yet attractive visuals were stuck in Shi Mufeng’s mind. He pried away from Rong Weiwei’s grip and said, “Weiwei, listen, just wait here. I’ll be back soon.”
Rong Weiwei watched as the man impatiently left her side to chase after Rong Yan. Her delicate features twisted as her fingernails dug into her palm.
Damn it! Rong Yan was back. However, Rong Yan could not compete with Rong Weiwei in terms of social status—Rong Weiwei had already secured her footing in the Rong family. The older woman had come back more beautiful. The Rong Yan from five years back was a budding iris, this homecoming, she was a blooming rose. Rong Weiwei could not help but be jealous.
Five years ago, Rong Weiwei was the one who sent Rong Yan to a stranger’s bed. Rong Yan must have known the truth after so many years. If Rong Yan regained her former status, would she forgive Rong Weiwei?
Hence, Rong Weiwei must not give Rong Yan the opportunity to climb the social ladder.
