"Rongrong, what are you doing! Come here quickly, I'll introduce you to your cousin's husband!"
Tong Yu grabbed Hua Rong's arm and led her toward the crowd.
She lowered her voice and said, "I think your cousin and her boyfriend are having some problems. Just smile and leave the rest to me."
Hua Rong nodded, indicating that she understood her good intentions.
Following Tong Yu to the busiest place, they discovered that, besides Chu Mei, there was also a tall, handsome man with a refined and elegant demeanor surrounded by the crowd.
The moment Hua Rong saw him, she guessed his identity.
Shen Dong, the male protagonist of this world!
When Hua Rong went in, the atmosphere seemed quite good.
Some people were still egging him on, saying, "Shen Dong, why don't you go and kiss your girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around laughed.
"Your cousin is a total goddess at our school. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also incredibly talented. Oh, and she's very popular!"
"When everyone found out she had a boyfriend, not only the boys wanted to know who had won her heart, but the girls also wanted to know."
"After Shen Dong made his first public appearance, countless people envied them as a couple; they were truly a perfect match!"
Xiao Jiao walked up to Hua Rong at some point and said these words to her.
Hua Rong looked around and found that Tong Yu had disappeared.
The surroundings were noisy, and Xiao Jiao deliberately lowered her voice so that only she could hear what she was saying.
Hua Rong remained expressionless and said calmly, "Indeed, they look very well-matched."
When Xiao Jiao heard Hua Rong's words, she looked at her as if she were a monster.
"You two are cousins, you should be the closest people in the world. But now, your life is completely different from hers. Don't you feel any resentment?"
"Even if she only helped you a little bit, you wouldn't be living like this now. Don't you want her to fall into the dust too?"
"In no mood."
Hua Rong glanced at Xiao Jiao, then walked away with the crowd, no longer staying with her.
So she really is Xiao Sheng's sibling!
His character is so questionable.
He also learned about the Xiao family's situation from the investigation he had just conducted on Wang Lei.
Xiao Jiao and Xiao Sheng are the sons of Xiao Kun's first wife, and Xiao Kun is a typical "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success).
He married a woman from a well-off family, which led to the Xiao family becoming the Xiao family we know today!
Once a man has money, it's rare for him not to be unfaithful.
Xiao Kun is clearly not one of the few who are not philanderers.
He had an affair with Long Xinliang and they had an illegitimate child.
However, his domineering wife was still alive at that time, so he could only keep Long Xinliang outside.
As for why they didn't acknowledge Wang Feng back then, it's possible that it was because they wanted to protect him.
But Hua Rong felt that it was more likely for his own sake.
Afraid of attracting Madam Xiao's attention!
Hua Rong boldly speculated that Madam Xiao was not unaware of the affair between Xiao Kun and Long Xinliang at that time.
However, having grown up in a wealthy family, she was not entirely unaware of the philandering thoughts of rich men.
For the sake of family harmony and her two children, she chose to endure it!
Of course, the premise for her to tolerate it is that Xiao Kun does not produce an illegitimate child!
It wasn't until after her death that Xiao Kun welcomed Long Xinliang into the Xiao family.
Make Long Xinliang Xiao Jiao and Xiao Sheng's stepmother!
It was at this time that he had the mind to acknowledge his other biological son.
Hua Rong couldn't guarantee that her guess was completely correct, but she figured it wouldn't be too far off.
In response, she could only say: Xiao Kun and Long Xinliang are unfit to be fathers or mothers!
Hua Rong could still feel the gloomy look in Xiao Jiao's eyes as she looked at her.
She felt that Xiao Jiao was likely to cause trouble at today's banquet!
The moment she had this thought, she noticed that the relaxed atmosphere between the male and female leads suddenly became tense.
She looked closely and noticed that both Shen Dong and Chu Mei had somber faces.
The people around stopped jeering, and one of them looked embarrassed.
"Shen Dong, what exactly do you mean? My parents asked you to come today, and you didn't even show up! Why are you making things difficult for me now?"
Chu Mei threw the gift Shen Dong had just given her to the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, and glared fiercely at Shen Dong!
Shen Dong's face also darkened.
He looked down at the gift box on the ground, which originally contained a diary.
It was filled with entries about every day after she met Chu Mei.
He thought that Chu Mei would obviously appreciate such a thoughtful gift more than other expensive ones.
However, the diary has disappeared, replaced by a photo album filled with pictures of him and his ex-girlfriend!
There are photos of them looking a bit green on campus, as well as photos of them traveling around the world.
The two people in the photo are all smiles and look very well-matched.
Why is this happening?
He clearly remembered that he had already processed those photos.
He wanted a future with Chu Mei!
And all that past sweetness will become an obstacle between them.
Shen Dong is a very rational person. After getting to know Chu Mei, he quickly dealt with these things.
However, at this moment, these things reappeared here.
Not to mention Chu Mei being angry, he himself felt furious!
Looking around at the people, their faces also showed dissatisfaction and accusation towards him!
"President Shen Dong! Don't think that just because you're rich and powerful you can bully Meimei like this! It's really bizarre of you to show off your love with your ex-girlfriend at your current girlfriend's birthday party!"
Chu Mei's only remaining roommate, Li Jingjing, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up directly.
"Jingjing, don't rush to condemn Shen Dong. There might be some misunderstanding!"
Tong Yu may seem carefree and easygoing, but she is actually very thoughtful.
She hit the nail on the head.
"What misunderstanding could there be? Have you ever seen a boyfriend give a photo of himself with his ex-girlfriend? Xiaoyu, don't forget, he personally handed this gift to Meimei! He's absolutely a one-of-a-kind guy!"
Shen Dong remained silent.
That's right! This gift only passed through his hands from beginning to end!
He couldn't understand why the diary inside the gift box had turned into a photo album!
This is also a major reason why he hasn't refuted it yet.
Even he himself wondered if he had been careless and made a mistake.
Hua Rong watched this scene, her gaze falling on Jiao Jiao's face.
Sure enough, I saw a smug and relieved expression on her face.
Hua Rong curled her lip. This female supporting character really is always stirring up trouble!
She looked at the chaotic scene before her, then glanced at the deserted second floor.
She thought to herself, "This is really a perfect opportunity for her to stir up trouble!"
Thank you, Ms. Xiao Jiao, for Best Supporting Actress!
I bow in gratitude!
