Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, their feud didn’t stop there. A marketing account dug up the incident between Rong Feiyu and Rong Qi at the freshman a.s.sembly, accusing Rong Feiyu of stealing. There were even claims that Rong Feiyu’s debut song was originally stolen as well but got exposed, so they had to change it to another piano piece.
So, fans of other contestants joined forces to attack Rong Feiyu, demanding that the production team remove her from the show.
However, for some reason, it seemed like the production team hadn’t seen those trending posts at all. They even purchased a trending topic about the seven of them forming a group, which enraged fans who accused the production team of negligence and condoning such behavior.
And now, in the midst of it all, the usually cautious Rong Feiyu surprisingly didn’t respond.
Feeling strange, Rong Qi sneered and closed the Weibo app. She thought, ‘As long as Feiyu didn’t use Grandpa’s composition, I don’t care what Rong Feiyu did.’
However, just as Rong Qi put down her phone, she heard Han Ning calling her from behind, “Rong Qi, your father is here. He says he needs to talk to you.”
Han Ning stood with one hand in his pocket beside her, his expression not friendly as he looked at the person at the door.
Rong Qi raised her tired eyes and indeed saw Rong Tianshi’s anxious face and, standing behind him, Rong Feiyu, who had an equally unhappy expression.
Rong Qi lowered her gaze, a scornful smile playing on her lips as if she had guessed why he was here. She put on a hat to hide her pale face, then stood up and walked out of the cla.s.sroom.
“I’ll come with you. You two can talk, and I’ll stand in the hallway,” said Han Ning as he followed beside Rong Qi.
Rong Qi nodded and walked out with Han Ning.
Once out of the cla.s.sroom, Rong Tianshi’s expression instantly soured when he saw Han Ning. He couldn’t help but question, “What do you mean by this? You brought a bodyguard with you? Rong Qi, can’t you behave a bit? Your actions are improper. If news of this spreads, how do you expect me to stand in the upper echelons of high society?”
Han Ning’s expression turned cold upon hearing that, but with Rong Qi present, he refrained from speaking further. He put his hands in his pockets and sauntered off to the side, leaning against the railing with an unruly air, not sparing Rong Tianshi and Rong Feiyu a glance.
Rong Tianshi’s face turned livid in an instant. He scolded, “Look at the kind of friends you a.s.sociate with—no manners whatsoever! You were in Cla.s.s 1 at first, but you insisted on transferring to Cla.s.s 7, and you almost got expelled. Rong Qi, can’t you have some dignity and stop making me worry? Also, look at what you’re wearing, and what’s with the hat? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you did something scandalous!”
Rong Qi grew annoyed from listening to Rong Tianshi and interrupted him, “If you came here just to lecture me, Mr. Rong. You can save it. Do you need anything else? If not, I’ll go back inside.”
Rong Qi’s lower abdomen felt as if a drill was piercing through it, making her cramp up. Unfortunately, Rong Tianshi continued to blabber in her ear, like a pesky fly. He was getting on her nerves.
Rong Tianshi’s face stiffened, and his anger surged as he was about to erupt, but he was pulled back by Rong Feiyu, who grabbed his arm. She whispered in a hushed voice, “Dad, we came to talk about serious matters.”
Hearing that, Rong Tianshi managed to suppress his anger.
Rong Qi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She and Rong Tianshi were almost at the point of mutual loathing. The fact that the esteemed Mr. Rong had personally come to find her clearly had to do with the Rong family and Rong Feiyu.
Sure enough, Rong Tianshi glanced at Rong Qi impatiently, then rolled up his sleeves and said, “Do you have Weibo? Post a statement right now..”
