Yong Ran was flattered by the words.

Lin Xibei grumbled. “Do you still want to remain in the entertainment industry? Can you be less conspicuous? You pushed the devil in public! Rong Yan, that cunning b*tch is not going to let you off. She’ll release bad info about you.”

Rong Yan casually leaned back in the chair and rubbed her ear. “Oh, it has already happened. I just saw the news on my phone.”

News about a pregnancy check at 18, sleeping with someone above her social standing and Rong Yan bullying her sister were released. There were even a few blurry photos of Rong Yan hitting Rong Weiwei.

Soon, the topic was trending online with the tags, ‘#SaveVIVI’ and ‘#RongYanOut’.

Rong Weiwei would never pass up on an opportunity to badmouth Rong Yan. She seized the chance to blacken Rong Yan’s name and ensure the woman could not kick start her career in the entertainment industry.

Lin Xibei was speechless. “You…” He held his tongue.

The woman was courting disaster.

Rong Yan knew Rong Weiwei was off limits, yet she went at her head-first and gave the younger woman an opening. Rong Yan predicted she would be tossed out of the entertainment industry.

“I couldn’t take it lying down.” Rong Yan’s reply was simple.

The answer was unapologetic and without any contrived elaboration.

She refused to swallow her anger. There were many other ways to get back at Rong Weiwei but Rong Yan chose the direct approach. She wanted to face Rong Weiwei and tell her she was back.

“You!” Lin Xibei was frustrated but he changed the focus. “Right, how about Duidui? Did you contact him? How can you just throw him to the Li family?”

Rong Yan’s phone chose to ring at that moment. Another call was coming in.

“Hold on, I have another call.”

“You keep avoiding the question! Every time I ask about Duidui, you just deflect.”

“I really do have a call. I’ll call you back.”

Rong Yan swiped the screen to answer the unknown call. “Hello?”

“Is this Miss Rong?”

It was an unfamiliar man’s voice.

“Who’s calling?”

“Ah, I should introduce myself. I’m Dr. Cui from Kangdu Hospital1. I treated you last night in the emergency department.”

Last night…

A calm and aristocratic silhouette appeared in Rong Yan’s mind.

She shook her head to clear the image and got back to the call. “Hi. Is there a reason you called?”

Cui Jiangjing had to hold back his laughter and put on a serious act. “Miss Rong, the medical bills from yesterday have not been paid. Is it convenient for you to come over to the hospital to settle it? I don’t have your residential address, hence I could only reach you through the phone number taken down by the nurse.”

Rong Yan frowned. “Are you sure the bill was not paid?”

Li Shengxiao did not pay for the medical bill? What…

Rong Yan wondered if she was imagining things.

“Are you occupied?”

Despite her musings, she had to settle the bill as the hospital was personally ringing her up and asking for payment. “I’ll drop by as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“Thank you, Miss Rong. You can find me in the neurology department.”

“Sure thing.”

Rong Yan hung up the phone and told the taxi driver, “Sir, send me to Kangdu Hospital instead.”

…

On the other end of the call, a man dressed in a white coat spun around in his office chair. The handsome man was one of the doctors working in the neurology department of Kangdu Hospital. He pulled the phone away, attractive eyes crinkled as he gave the man standing before him an ‘okay’ gesture. “Done. Your trap has been set.”
