Rong Weiwei felt a sudden jolt in her heart, a bad premonition washing over her. She tried to maintain her composure, holding her phone steady as she asked calmly, âWhatâs the rush, what happened?â
âMr. Shi⦠Mr. Shi is suspected of soliciting prostitution and has been arrested.â
Despite being mentally prepared, Rong Weiwei was still so shocked that her eyes widened, âWhat are you talking about?â
They must be crazy!
The person on the other end of the phone shattered her last hope, âWeiwei, itâs true, the news media have all released it, and itâs even been criticized in an official police bulletin.â
Rong Weiweiâs hand trembled, almost losing grip on her phone, âImpossible, youâre lying to me, how could this happen, it absolutely cannot.â
Mufengâs future lay in a political career, protected and supported by the Shi Family, his prospects were bright. If he were to cause such a scandal, Mufeng would be ruining his entire future.
Moreover, everyone knew they were dating. Him causing this kind of scandal would be like slapping her in the face in front of everyone.
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Meiqiâs call came through.
She took a deep breath, hung up on her agent, and then answered Jiang Meiqiâs call, âMom.â
No sooner had she spoken than Jiang Meiqiâs indignant voice came through from the other end, âWhereâs Mufeng? Can you get in touch with him? Whatâs with all those rumors outside, did Mufeng really go behind your back andâ¦â
Jiang Meiqi couldnât even utter the words for soliciting prostitution.
But the implication was clear, âWei, I canât get through to him on the phone. Call him and see where he is, tell him to come to the Rong Family immediately!â
Before Rong Weiwei had time to check out the news online that they mentioned, she soothed her forehead, her complexion pale, âMom, donât panic, letâs talk when I get back, okay? Right now, we donât know whatâs going on; maybe itâs not as bad as we thinkâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If Mufeng couldnât follow the path that had been planned for him, what was the point of her desperately snatching him from Rong Yanâs hands?
And if indeed such a scandal erupted, she would be the first victim. Plus, Rong Yan, that little bitch, would definitely take the opportunity to mock her.
âDonât panic just yet, Iâll call Mufeng and find out exactly whatâs going on,â she said to Jiang Meiqi, not to worry, but her own throat was so tight with anxiety it was almost blistering.
She didnât care what Jiang Meiqi wanted to say next, she hung up the phone, her face dark as she turned back and elbowed through the staff to claim a laptop. She searched for news related to Shi Mufeng while trying to contact him.
âIâm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later.â
Rong Weiwei, unwilling to give up, tried calling again.
âIâm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later.â
Two calls failed to connect, and her heart gradually cooled. She browsed the online news and sure enough, under todayâs trending Chocolate Arena, she found the hot search about her and Shi Mufengâ#Diamond Boyfriend Seeks Fun at Nightclub, Rong Weiwei Turns into a Cuckolded Rose#!
The topicâs popularity was even flagged with a small fiery torch symbol. Rong Weiwei was so furious she felt choked up. When she clicked on the topic, she saw a pinned police bulletin about a certain Shi being arrested on suspicion of solicitation. Although it did not specifically mention who âa certain Shiâ was, the age, height, and rich second-generation status matched Shi Mufeng to a tee.
She could tell at a glance that the person described was Shi Mufeng.
