“Regardless of whether you believe it or not, there’s nothing between Qiange and I. We’re innocent and we didn’t do anything wrong. Everyone knows that the tabloids love exaggerating things to catch the attention of readers. Don’t you understand such a common logic, Young Master Rong?” Luo Anning questioned proudly while keeping her back straight.
She sounded self-righteous and indignant, as if she were really telling the truth.
Rong Yan was a little infuriated. He snubbed the cigarette into the ashtray before concluding, “The stock prices of Baina International have been affected by your rumors. From now on, you must play along and put on a show in front of the reporters so as to prove that the rumors are false. You understand?”
The life of Asia’s wealthiest tycoon was undoubtedly a newsworthy topic that many loved gossiping about. Throughout the past two years of their marriage, she had never once appeared in front of the media apart from their wedding.
Rong Yan did a great job at managing the media too. Whenever he was around the reporters, he would never be photographed with another woman, thus avoiding unnecessary rumors and scandals.
Of course, that was also because of his love for cleanliness.
Luo Anning stared at the infuriated Rong Yan and nodded in agreement instead of adding fuel to the fire.
It was just pretending to be loving with him. How difficult could it be?
However, the Luo Family has officially provoked me. it seems I have to start urging Old Mr. Rong.
Just as she was deep in thought, Auntie Li grabbed her mobile phone and said anxiously, “Young Master Rong, it’s a call from Old Mr. Rong.”
Rong Yan glowered at Luo Anning, causing her to shiver in fear.
He ignored her and proceeded to answer the call. “It’s me.”
“……”
“How could you believe the reports? Since when were you so pedantic?”
“……”
“Okay, got it.”
“……”
“Is it a must to go?”
“……”
“Got it. You’re really annoying!” Rong Yan barked before ending the call in frustration. Luo Anning could tell that something was off after hearing his answers.
She reckoned that Old Mr. Rong must have seen the reports too and had flown into a rage. It was not a good sign.
“Grandpa wants us to go back to his place. Pack up and we’ll leave immediately.”
“Now?” Luo Anning asked.
Rong Yan glared at her and barked, “When else then!?!”
“I was just asking a casual question, you don’t have to be so angry,” Luo Anning chastised before heading upstairs to change into a fresh set of clothes.
…
It was not time for a meal yet. They arrived to see that Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua were seated on the couch, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
Luo Anning knew that the Luo Family had managed to plot against her because of her negligence. Hence, she said obediently, “Grandpa, Mother, we’re home.”
Jiang Peihua nodded smilingly and gestured for her and Rong Yan to take a seat. Luo Anning did as she was told and sat up straight on the couch.
Old Mr. Rong was not smiling as benevolently as he did the previous time. Instead, he was staring at her sternly and he asked, “Lass Anning, what’s going on in the reports? What’s going on between you and the CEO of Imperial Court?”
It seems Old Mr. Rong refused to believe Rong Yan’s words.
After a moment of silence, Luo Anning answered, “Grandpa, Qiange is just my friend. It’s not like what you think.”
