Thinking of this, a surge of rage welled up within him.
Not only did Chen betray him, but she has also broken her promise and revealed the secret from back then. How could he let her go?
"Father?" Rong Yiyi frowned slightly when she saw that he didn't speak. She tugged at his sleeve and urged, "Why aren't you saying anything, Father? Is my sister really...?"
However, she was met with a loud slap.
"Smack!"
The pain of being slapped across the face startled her, causing her eyes to widen in disbelief as she stared at the man before her, whose hand was still raised and hadn't yet been lowered.
"Of course she's a child of the Rong family. If I hear you spouting nonsense again, you can forget about ever stepping foot in the Rong mansion again," Rong Shiqing said angrily.
Rong Yiyi covered her face, which was stinging from the beating, and cried out in anger and resentment, "Even if you are angry and hit me, it doesn't change the fact that Rong Qingqing is not your child, nor is she a member of the Rong family."
Rong Shiqing was so angry that his face turned ashen. "You wretched child!" Just as he raised his hand to hit her again, Rong Yiyi had already turned and run out. But when she reached the door, she bumped right into Rong Qingqing, who was just coming in.
Upon seeing her, Rong Yiyi's eyes flashed with anger, and she suddenly reached out and shoved her hard.
"You bastard, what are you doing here?"
When Rong Qingqing saw her running over, she became wary. When she saw her being pushed fiercely, she immediately dodged to the side.
Rong Yiyi pushed at empty air and before she could react, she was kicked in the buttocks.
"ah!"
She screamed and lunged forward.
With a "thump," she immediately tumbled down the high steps.
Looking at the woman who was lying on the steps like a turtle, Rong Qingqing smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to bow so deeply to me, do you? Besides, you seem to have the wrong idea."
A piercing pain shot through Rong Yiyi's knee, and she didn't react for a long time. When she heard Rong Qingqing's sarcastic words, she was so angry that her face twisted in anger.
She turned around abruptly and glared fiercely at Rong Qingqing. "Don't be so smug. One day, I will..." She only got halfway through her sentence before stopping.
Rong Qingqing scoffed. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been the one falling down the steps.
Rong Yiyi still has the nerve to make a fuss?
She glanced at her dismissively, "I'll wait!" With that, she turned and went into Madam Rong's room without looking at her again.
Looking at the empty doorway, a vicious glint flashed in Rong Yiyi's eyes.
Rong, Qing, Qing!
She was about to get up when a piercing pain shot through her knee, making her break out in a cold sweat. Looking up, she saw several servants from Deshou Hall standing by with their hands in their sleeves, showing no intention of helping her. Enraged, she pounded the floor and shouted, "Are you all dead? Why aren't you helping me?"
Hong'er and Xing'er exchanged a glance and walked towards her.
Rong Yiyi reached out her hand.
However, Hong'er and her companion seemed not to see her and walked straight past her.
Rong Yiyi froze, staring in disbelief at the two people who were ignoring her.
How dare they ignore me?
She was both angry and furious.
After a long while, seeing that no one came forward to help her, she finally got up on her own.
Those lowly servants, she won't let them get away with it.
Those who ignore her today, she will surely chop them up and throw them to the dogs one day.
She left Deshou Hall with a limp.
Inside the house, Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised to see Rong Shiqing there as well.
