Chapter 264: There’s Something wrong with this Brain.
Chapter 264
On the phone, in the past few days there had already been a huge uproar about her visiting Zhou Jing. Now any news with “Rong Dai” in it would trend on social media.
Rong Dai had gone from feeling unsettled at first to becoming a little numb to it now.
But then she saw the leaked photo - wasn’t this when He Nianhao had given her the bracelet just now?
Not only was it a secret photo, but the caption was extremely vulgar.
It just barely stopped short of saying she was engaged in some inappropriate behavior with the person in the hallway in broad daylight.
Rong Dai almost spit up blood, she was so angry. How could she attract so many petty people?
Just attending a small cocktail party could make her trend online.
She handed the phone back to Lu Nianzhi. Her eyes swept around the cocktail party and she saw Yao Shilin and Cai Yunmeng, who were chatting excitedly with Shi Ning.
She wasn\'t surprised to see Shi Ning there, but now it seemed Shi Ning had brought Yao Shilin and Cai Yunmeng to attend this cocktail party.
“Was it them?”
Lu Nianzhi was a little surprised.
Rong Dai just quietly watched the three chatting: “Those two are students of Fan Shengya. They\'ve always seen me as an enemy. That Yao Shilin really likes Senior He.”
“When you went to see someone earlier, Senior He came to chat with me for a bit and they caught him. They were rude so I rebuked them. The photo only caught Senior He\'s back, but my face is so clear.”
“It\'s obvious they just wanted to embarrass me, not Senior He. It must have been one of them, or maybe both were involved. Too bad I don\'t have any proof.”
Rong Dai analyzed it very calmly, not flustered at all.
“It takes the ringer to unring the bell. After the cocktail party I\'ll go see Mr. He, and then talk to He Nianhao. If he\'s willing to come forward, this will be easy to resolve.”
Lu Nianzhi nodded. When she had accepted this job, she had already anticipated things like this happening.
Now that it had happened, regret and blame were useless. They had to find a way to resolve it.
Rong Dai nodded, her previously happy mood dampened.
She didn\'t harm others, yet was always being harmed by them.
“Ms. Rong, Ms. Lu, could you come over for a moment?” He Nianhao walked over at this time. From his expression it seemed he already knew what was going on.
Rong Dai and Lu Nianzhi looked at each other, then followed him to a reception room. He Zhengli was sitting inside.
“Mrs. Huo, I\'m terribly sorry. I invited you to attend the cocktail party but this unpleasant matter occurred.”
He Zhengli immediately stood up when he saw her, an apologetic smile on his face.
Rong Dai shook her head. “It\'s due to my personal reasons that Mr. He\'s cocktail party has been troubled.
“I\'ve already had the surveillance video retrieved. This is a clip of it. Since it involves my son and Mrs. Huo\'s reputations, I\'d like to ask Mrs. Huo how she would like to handle this matter?”
He Zhengli asked this very cleverly without being off-putting.
Rong Dai glanced at the repentant-looking He Nianhao and let out a soft sigh. “I\'ve enjoyed the Senior\'s affections for two years. I had intended this to make a clean break between us, to stop delaying the Senior\'s future. I didn\'t expect something like this to happen.”
“It occurred at Mr. He\'s winery, so I think it would be best for Mr. He to handle this matter. If there is any way I can assist, I will certainly do my utmost.”
How could she not understand the deeper implication behind He Zhengli\'s words?
He Nianhao had already told her that these past few years he had strongly resisted taking over the family business.
Yet He Zhengli only had this one beloved son. Although she had made it clear to He Nianhao, he didn\'t have the experience from her past life.
Plus he was still young and hot-blooded, and changes could happen at any time that no one could control.
Mr. He wanted to use this incident to make his stance clear, to get He Nianhao to completely give up hope.
And this kind of secret photography greatly damaged the reputation of his winery. Only cooperative partners or friends Mr. He valued highly could attend private cocktail parties like this.
The corridor was filmed so clearly that anyone who had attended the party would certainly recognize it.
After this mess, who would dare attend a He family cocktail party in the future? They couldn\'t even guarantee basic privacy.
Actually, it was better for the He family to handle this matter than for her to handle it herself.
He Zhengli smiled. “Mrs. Huo, don\'t worry. You are an esteemed guest of the He family. And you were classmates with Nianhao, who was rash and offended you in his youth. I hope you can be tolerant.”
Rong Dai gave a faint smile and glanced at the uneasy He Nianhao before looking back at He Zhengli. “The Senior is outstanding. In the future there will be girls who understand him.”
After that, He Zhengli had the PR team directly release the video online, not obscuring He Nianhao\'s feelings for her.
Rong Dai also posted a Weibo with a photo of the bracelet, captioned: Grateful for your affections, you deserve someone better.
The small storm came and went quickly, and so did Yao Shilin.
Because when she secretly photographed, she was completely unaware of the surveillance camera. Her face was filmed clear as day, leaving her no room to equivocate.
“That Rong Dai! What a jinx! She makes me so angry! How could there be surveillance?”
Yao Shilin stomped her feet furiously outside the He family manor after being kicked out of the cocktail party, but security refused to let her back in.
“Shilin, let\'s figure out how to leave here first. Don\'t be angry, it\'s not worth getting sick over.”
Although Cai Yunmeng didn\'t want to miss this kind of opportunity, with Yao Shilin being chased out, she couldn\'t be completely sure of herself yet either, so she could only follow along.
Seeing Yao Shilin\'s angry cursing state, her heart knotted up angrily.
She had never seen such a stupid person!
She got caught herself trying to secretly photograph!
What a brilliant mind!
After that, under her consoling, Yao Shilin finally stopped her angry curses and left.
Because of Yao Shilin, they were also brought by Shi Ning.
Although the He family didn\'t blame Jin Xiu Fang one bit, the atmosphere of the cocktail party had become a little strange.
Especially when Shi Ning smilingly went to greet Ha Wei and his assistant when they arrived, but was completely ignored, it became even more awkward.
Everyone knew Jin Xiu Fang had always collaborated with TK. Not choosing Jin Xiu Fang for the debut show could be overlooked, but now even ignoring Shi Ning, who could inherit Jin Xiu Fang at any time?!
“It looks like there is some unpleasantness between Jin Xiu Fang and TK. Ha Wei is high level at TK, and Shi Ning is considered high level at Jin Xiu Fang after studying in France. Ha Wei couldn\'t possibly not recognize her.”
Lu Nianzhi spoke softly with Rong Dai, drinking wine. The two were in no hurry to step forward and show themselves.
