Chapter 438: We Have No Money

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Mrs. Rong Sr. was loath to admit this bumpkin granddaughter she had never met before, she still yearned to feel superior in the girl’s presence. The best-case scenario was to pass on all the frustrations she had once taken out on Chu Jing, onto this new girl.

Wang Qing bowed her head and whispered something into Mrs. Rong Sr.’s ear. It was plain to see Mrs. Rong Sr.’s face darkened, her distaste for Rong Qi intensifying.

“Well, well! You little harlot! You seduce your own sister’s fiance to climb social ladders, and now you’re using your newfound status to bully your sister and your mother? You ungrateful wretch! Cutting ties? Fine! The Rong family doesn’t need a backstabber like you!”

This tirade nearly had Xu Yi breaking into laughter. He thought, ‘How amusing. This woman dared to speak such foul words, yet still fancied herself as some sort of aristocrat, carrying herself as if she were an empress dowager. In all of history, which empress dowager had ever been so uncouth? Did they not fear impeachment and death? Furthermore, the audacity to twist the narrative was astonishing.’

Xu Yi was genuinely impressed. Although he had spent most of his time abroad, he had still gossip-traded with Zhuang Ling about the romantic history of Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi. Now, hearing these women blatantly lie was intolerable, especially since it involved Rong Qi. novelbuddy.c(o)m

Xu Yi sneered, “Seducing her sister’s fiance? Climbing the social ladder? Are you all dreaming? Let me tell you, Madam and Master Shen are in a relationship of equals, based on love, not some siren as you claim. If anyone’s doing the seducing, it would be Rong Feiyu. She’s in a league of her own. Before you go around slinging mud at others, y’all better make sure your own backyard’s clean!”

Forget about other men; even at Capital University, a place Xu Yi considered relatively innocent, he had noticed two men acting overly familiar with Rong Feiyu. He had yet to expose that deceitful woman, and here they were, shouting at Rong Qi.

Xu Yi had lost all patience. Where it hurt, his words aimed to strike. When Wang Qing and company prided themselves on Rong Feiyu’s supposed purity and virtuousness, Xu Yi punctured that balloon with pinpoint accuracy.

Rong Qi gave Xu Yi a sidelong glance, her lips twitching upward ever so slightly and thought that loose cannon had some utility after all. She was more than capable of verbal jousts, but it was tedious and tiring to engage in such banter. If someone else wanted to run their mouth for her, she wouldn’t opposed.

Upon hearing Xu Yi’s retort, Rong Feiyu’s face turned ghostly pale as she clenched her teeth in secret. Both Wang Qing and the elderly lady’s faces contorted in anger and disbelief as they glared at Rong Qi and Xu Yi.

Xu Yi snapped, “What are you staring at? I haven’t said anything wrong.”

Their faces twisted even more. Suddenly, Wang Qing started to dab away nonexistent tears. “Mother, you see how they’re bullying us? Feiyu and I have no one to lean on, and so we’re at their mercy. You have to stand up for us!”

‘What a performance. Accuse others first, only to play the victim after being counterattacked. How could people be so shameless? Damn it, I just wanted to blast these people away!’

“Chill out,” Rong Qi spoke softly, her tone even.

Mrs. Rong Sr. was also infuriated. She had assumed Rong Qi would be easy to manipulate—a simple country bumpkin—but she had turned out to be a wild card.

Glaring at Rong Qi, Mrs. Rong Sr. spat, “Your father had a car accident yesterday, and you only showed up today. Honestly, you might as well have not come. You’re only making things worse and upsetting us. When your father wakes up, I’m sure he’d rather not see you. Just leave!”

Rong Qi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her lips curved into a sardonic smile.

“Fine, then. Here’s the bill. I’ll be on my way.” said Rong Qi. She handed over the hospital bill she had obtained from the doctor.

The elderly lady’s face instantly changed, becoming ashen.. ‘Damn it, we had no money!’
