Chapter 706: Chapter 706: She is Very Capable
“Alright.” Rong Weiwei also wanted to leave.
She had reached her ‘objective,’ and the outside environment was inexplicably noisy, plus some audacious newcomer had come to her to ask about Rong Yan, making her feel somewhat uneasy.
She didn’t know why she felt this way.
But this panic and confusion didn’t feel right!
Shi Mufeng was about to leave with Rong Weiwei, but someone suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes.
He stopped in his tracks and looked along the hand that was grabbing him to see who it was.
Qi Yue, aware of his identity, had paled even more with a face that was initially pale. Her fingertips couldn’t stop trembling, and she clutched hard at Shi Mufeng’s clothing. Looking at the person in front of her with reddened eyes, she insisted, “Mr. Shi… you should know Rong Yan. Rong Yan… she started feeling unwell not long after drinking the champagne that was handed to her. I’m afraid something might have happened to Rong Yan… There’s something wrong with that champagne…”
In her nervousness, she stumbled over her words, speaking incoherently.
Yet the look in her eyes when she saw Shi Mufeng was full of hope, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, desperate to try even though she knew the straw was fragile.
“It’s so noisy outside, if something dangerous happens to Rong Yan… Could you help her?”
She was on the verge of crying.
“I just called Miss Rong, and her phone is already turned off. Her phone was fine just a bit ago…”
Rong Weiwei hadn’t expected Qi Yue to be so daring, to seek out Shi Mufeng right in front of her and accuse her. A flash of ruthlessness swept through her eyes, and she silently tallied a score against Qi Yue. Then, hiding behind Shi Mufeng, she wrapped her arms around the man’s arm and looked at Qi Yue, who was accusing her, “What are you talking about? How could there be anything wrong with that champagne? I drank it too, and I’m fine, aren’t I?”
Qi Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say that she didn’t drink from the same glass as Rong Yan.
However, Shi Mufeng coldly brushed off her hand, speaking down to her with an arrogant demeanor, “The champagne? I watched Weiwei take it from the table and give it to her. How could there be a problem? Moreover, just because you can’t get through to her phone means there’s a problem? Don’t worry! She’s very capable! In Capital City, who would dare to mess with her now? You’d do better worrying about what you’ve done yourself rather than worrying about her!”
Just a rookie from a talent show, yet she dared to repeatedly block his path and act recklessly. Did she really think HuanYu was a pushover?
His intent to retaliate and blacklist her was quite clear.
Qi Yue turned as white as paper, so fragile that one touch might break her. She opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
She had realized that Mr. Shi had no intention of helping her, nor did he intend to care about Rong Yan. Even if she knelt down before them right now, he would probably still believe Rong Weiwei. He wouldn’t even deign to check up on Rong Yan!
And Rong Weiwei, who was claiming Rong Yan was her sister, if the champagne really was fine, why was she so indifferent to the safety of Miss Rong and only defended that the champagne was not an issue?
“Let’s go.” Shi Mufeng shook off Qi Yue, growing even more impatient. He took Rong Weiwei’s hand and headed out.
Right before Rong Weiwei brushed past Qi Yue, she turned to Qi Yue, whose face was pale, and curved her lips into a victor’s smile before turning away.
Qi Yue watched her expression and felt a heavy sink in her heart. Her lower lip was almost bleeding from the bite, but after a moment’s thought, she decided to step aside and call Estelle.
In Capital City, she didn’t know anybody influential, and the only capable person she could turn to was Estelle. She just hoped that the disturbance outside had nothing to do with Rong Yan…
