Chapter 247: What Do You Take Me For? (3)
Auntie Li rubbed her hands helplessly. She wanted to stop Luo Anning but the latter could not be stopped at all!
After giving it some thought, she realized that she was in no place to make decisions and hence turned around to give Rong Yan a call.
“What’s the matter?” Rong Yan asked in annoyance.
Auntie Li shuddered and said, “Young Master Rong, Young Madam headed out after lunch. I tried to stop her but… I failed to do so.”
“Useless!” Rong Yan slammed the phone down and hung up.
In the Baina office, Xu Zhiyuan entered with some doc.u.ments and immediately kept his guard up when he saw the petulant expression on Rong Yan’s face.
He would flee once his life was in danger.
Rong Yan stood up and headed outside while Xu Zhiyuan frantically asked, “Young Master Rong, where are you going? A meeting is going to happen in 15 minutes… ”
“Back off!” Rong Yan disappeared as soon as he barked.
He touched the tip of his nose and looked at the urgent doc.u.ment that he was holding. “Well… he has to sign the doc.u.ment at least.”
….
Luo Anning arrived at the cafe that she and Lu Momo agreed to meet at. She arrived earlier than Lu Momo.
Luo Anning selected a window seat and sat down before ordering a cappuccino. Not long after, she began to hear the sounds of the people around her gossiping.
She initially did not plan to listen but after hearing that they seemed to mention the words “Young Madam Rong”, she curiously decided to listen.
Woman A whispered into Woman B’s ear, “Isn’t that Young Madam Rong seated by the window? She is Young Madam Rong, isn’t she?”
Woman B said, “It has to be right. She looks just like the woman in the photos!”
Woman C nodded confidently and said, “Yes, yes, it’s Young Madam Rong! Hey, do you guys think that the rumors of Young Madam Rong getting raped when she was younger, that are going around on the internet are true? There are photos as evidence. How did a filthy woman like her get married to Young Master Rong? I’m really curious.”
Woman D said, “You don’t understand this, right? Although she has been raped, men are visual and sensual creatures who let their s.e.xual urges rule their heads. Young Master Rong may be a clean freak but he’s undeniably a man. Maybe she’s good in bed and pleases Young Master Rong really well. That’s how she got to become his wife.”
Woman A said, “You do make sense! However, since Young Master Rong is a clean freak, how could he tolerate having a used woman?”
Woman C suddenly said in a moment of enlightenment, “Oh, I get it now. Aren’t hymen reconstruction surgeries available nowadays?”
The women then burst into laughter brazenly, their laughter sounding sharp and shrilling in the cafe.
The waiter served the cappuccino, and apparently heard the conversation between the women. Staring worriedly at Luo Anning who had a sullen expression, he said, “Miss, here’s your cappuccino.”
Luo Anning looked up and said coldly, “Thank you.”
The waiter was relieved to see that Luo Anning was not angry. He smiled and turned around to leave.
Luo Anning could not put her feelings into words. She found the keywords of their conversation. Rape…
She suddenly recalled Rong Yan telling her to leave the matter for him to handle, after Luo Shaodong and Laurent threatened her with the photos previously. Ever since then, Luo Shaodong never looked for her again.
It seems he had returned to the nation and had already spread the word.
