Chapter 14 Superficial
Chapter 14: Chapter 14 SuperficialFaced with the evidence, Rong Zhi still stubbornly argued, and Rong Xian’an was thoroughly disappointed in her, refusing to waste words as he directly commanded, "In a moment, you’re going to come back with me, I’ll find someone to properly teach you some manners."
"Put away your gangster attitude and rogue behavior, and don’t step out of the house before school!"
Rong Zhi fiddled with her phone, expressionless, completely ignoring his words.
Such a commotion naturally could be heard by the servants outside the door, who looked through the window with contempt and derision at the teenager, while some hurried off to find Housekeeper Lu.
Ying Man felt like she had a stone stuck in her throat, extremely uncomfortable.
She hadn’t felt such embarrassment in a very, very long time.
If she had known it would be like this, she would rather have taken the risk of offending the old master and disagreed with bringing Rong Zhi back!
Rong Xian’an’s eyes were sinister, but he was more composed than Ying Man, beckoning Yao Guang and Yao Fang to tie up Rong Zhi and take her away.
"Bang—"
Just then, Rong Zhi suddenly tossed her phone onto the Eight Immortals table closest to Rong Xian’an.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Yao Guang and Yao Fang, her gaze sharp as a knife edge.
Her eerie eyes were cool and cold as ice, and with just one glance, Yao Fang felt a chill from his feet shoot up, his scalp tingling, and he stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
"There are surveillance cameras in the courtyard," Rong Zhi switched to a more comfortable position, her demeanor casual and lazy, "The three rooms in the courtyard are not just one main house."
The phone screen split into eight windows, playing eight surveillance videos simultaneously, from the courtyard where Rong Zhi resided to the gate, covering the timeline from last night’s dinner until this morning.
Initially, after dinner last night, Rong Zhi went straight back to her room to rest, only getting up late at night to move to another main house in the courtyard, not coming out during that time, until shortly before, when she woke up and went out.
Other than that, there were no signs of going out, the front gate was kept closed.
This morning, however, servants could be seen coming and going from the room where she began staying.
Since the recording duration was too long, the video was played in fast-forward mode and finished quickly.
Rong Xian’an looked up sharply after watching, unable to believe the teenager, his face pale and alternating between colors.
Rong Zhi clasped her fingers over her chest, slowly chuckling, the red blush on her eyes becoming more brilliant, "Is that enough?"
Is that enough?
Clear enough!
Rong Xian’an was choked by her questions, his expression complex.
It was only now that he paused to scrutinize this son who had barely spoken throughout.
The teenager’s black shirt was new and unwrinkled, his hair still damp, freshly washed, resting on his curved nose adding a touch of charming allure.
He appeared completely just awakened, his eyes showed small traces of red due to poor sleep, but his face didn’t lose a bit of color, appearing even more captivating.
Ying Man felt utterly embarrassed.
No one expected the facts to turn out this way.
Her face stiffened in place, feeling both agitated and unsightly.
She croaked her neck, "You say you have nothing to do running around at midnight, causing chaos at home, troublesome early in the morning."
Rong Xian’an remained silent, but his silence equated to agreeing with Ying Man’s words.
Even with the evidence laid out, still blaming it on her, playing the victim-blaming game so well.
Rong Zhi snorted, leaned over to take back the phone, twirling it around her fingertips, her lip corners carrying sarcasm, her voice faint yet defiantly spirited, "Two rooms are less than ten meters apart, walking a few steps to find them shouldn’t break one’s legs?"
Her words were like a loud slap across Rong Xian’an and Ying Man’s faces.
Both harsh and heavy, fiery sting.
The servants outside immediately started whispering.
"Third Young Master really isn’t favored, even changing rooms without anyone
Rong Zhi, who had come out to take a call, happened to hear such words, squinting her eyes, her expression light.
Heroes don’t look like anything, just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, a person.
The nurse also spotted her, excitedly greeted her, "Brother Rong."
The term "brother" was spoken by her so sweetly, Rong Zhi lowered her eyes and nodded slightly at her, the nurse’s heart instantly struck, head dizzy.
Oh no, it’s the feeling of being moved!
Rong Zhi walked further to the window side, speaking unhurriedly, "Just transfer the bonus to my account according to the previous share."
On the phone, Zeus responded, "ok."
Rong Zhi bent one leg, her arm languidly placed on the window ledge, her wrist casually hanging down, enjoying the breeze as she leisurely said, "By the way, help me keep an eye out, if there’s any job that’s idle and pays well recently."
Zeus exclaimed, "President Fei is planning to make a comeback? You wait, I’ll find you the one that pays the most and is the most dangerous!"
His tone was very excited, knowing that Rong Zhi had been retired for half a year without taking orders, he hadn’t gotten a chance to flex his skills either!
"Looking for idle ones," Rong Zhi slowly doused his excitement, "I’m busy in Beijing recently and can’t leave, money is secondary, the most important is ease."
Zeus instantly sighed, "Ah——Alright."
The opportunity to flex his skills was gone, Zeus dejectedly opened the Heaven Gate Network, browsing the task list.
After a while, he suddenly spoke, "Hey, President Fei, there actually is a task that’s both idle and pays well, it’s to help a big figure hide their whereabouts, I remember you’re good at computing, want to take it on?"
The remuneration offered was quite generous, settled daily, ten thousand a day, though the requirements are quite high.
