Chapter 928 -928: Rong Yan Found Out
Even if she were to spend all her money, she couldn’t afford a gift impressive enough to astonish Lin Teng and Su Yi. Her only option was to cater to their preferences and buy a gift that was full of thoughtfulness.
She delivered her thoughtful gift; whether Lin Teng and Su Yi accepted it or not was their concern.
She just needed to do what she herself ought to do!
After all, it was her life with Li Shengxiao, not living with his family. She wouldn’t let others’ attitudes affect her mood.
Li Shengxiao had never expected Rong Yan to say these things to him, and his gaze deepened inch by inch, his eyes growing hotter as he looked at the young woman in front of him.
Just then, suddenly, Rong Yan’s phone rang.
The slightly amorous ambiance was instantly shattered. The young woman, who had just been locking eyes with him, quickly abandoned him. “Wait a moment, I need to take a call.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and wriggled out of his arms. “It’s Estelle calling, and at this hour, she must need something,” she said.

Although Li Shengxiao wanted to pull her back and fiercely silence those alluring lips of hers, he knew Rong Yan’s serious attitude toward work. Despite his dissatisfaction, he refrained from forcibly dragging her back and disallowing the call. “Hmm.”
Rong Yan slid her finger across the screen and answered the call, “Hello, Estelle.”
Estelle didn’t know how many times she had repeated the same words to her, but she still had to say, “Rong Yan, what you were worried about has happened.”
A sinking feeling hit Rong Yan.
There was only one thing she had been worried about before—Jiang Meiqi.
That very afternoon, Qin Yang had come to her dressing room and mentioned Jiang Meiqi, saying that there had been rumors circulating in the industry about someone scheming against her.
She steadied her nerves, “What happened?”
Estelle said, “It’s what you told me about after you learned of your heritage. For some reason, Jiang Meiqi suddenly gave an interview to a media outlet, and news has broken online that you are not her biological daughter.”
Rong Yan had always known this day would come, but she hadn’t expected Jiang Meiqi to play her ace right from the start. She had thought Jiang Meiqi would take advantage of the fact that the outside world didn’t know the secret of her identity to use her inherent status advantage and ‘testify’ against her alleged ‘scandals’ in front of the media.
Just like Rong Weiwei had done before, claiming she had slept with Huang Youde five years ago, or that she had given birth to Little Baby, and so on.
If Jiang Meiqi were to say such things, the impact would probably be even greater than when Rong Weiwei had said them.
But Jiang Meiqi hadn’t done so; instead, she revealed Rong Yan’s heritage to everyone first.
Rong Yan couldn’t immediately figure out what Jiang Meiqi was plotting. She asked Estelle, “When did the news break?”
“Half an hour ago. It hasn’t spread yet, but I’ve already tried to contact them and they’ve agreed to take the news down. However, there’s no sign of it being retracted yet.”
This was a tactic often used by paparazzi and some despicable, unscrupulous media, who, under pressure, would agree to retraction, but the timing of the retraction depended on when the news fermented. They would wait until the news had fermented enough that retraction would be pointless before actually retracting it.
Then they would claim, supposedly in good faith, that they complied with the request and retracted the news. It was just that their company was small, understaffed, and technologically lacking, which was why the retraction was slow.
Half an hour ago… Rong Yan felt overwhelmed, wondering why this had to happen at this critical moment.
As a result, the relatives whom Li Shengxiao cared about would probably find it even harder to accept her now.
