Chapter 355
Time flies, and some people and things are eventually forgotten, gradually disappearing into the long river of time.
Some secrets, however, thrive under careful protection, growing into towering trees and taking on a terrifying appearance.
Haishi Qingfeng Valley.
Rong Ying, her brother, and a group of friends went horseback riding together.
Fifteen years of happy life have smoothed out the resentment in her eyes. Now she is a typical heiress from a prestigious family, a pampered young lady.
Although she said she came to ride horses, Rong Ying didn't actually like riding horses; she just came to have fun with everyone.
Right now, she and her friends are standing on the sidelines, watching the horse races taking place inside the arena.
"Amazing! Nie Li is indeed number one! Keep it up!"
Someone shouted excitedly, and the race had entered the final sprint stage, with Nie Li far ahead.
He was dressed in casual riding attire, with all-black lower body and all-white upper body, which perfectly showcased his slender and powerful physique.
And his noble elegance, almost ingrained in his bones, remained undiminished even when riding a horse.
Nie Li has always been the most dazzling one. Since childhood, she has been the object of admiration for everyone in the industry. After adulthood, she joined her own company and in just two or three years, she made Nie's revenue increase several times over.
He not only possesses a handsome appearance, but is also young and promising, with a strong background and a bright future.
Many wealthy young ladies in the entertainment circle secretly admire him, and many families even want to form a marriage alliance with the Nie family.
Unfortunately, it was all wishful thinking. The Nie family and the Rong family had already arranged a marriage between their children back in the old master's generation.
Now, Rong Ying is Nie Li's fiancée.
The two families have always had a close relationship, and their business cooperation is even closer. Rong Ying and Nie Li's engagement is more secure than anything else, and everyone in the industry knows this and is extremely envious.
"Yingying, look! Your fiancé really won! You've won the prize again!"
Rong Ying was engrossed in watching when she was shaken awake. A great sense of satisfaction and pride welled up in her heart, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Look, this man everyone's adoring is her fiancé!
Behind Nie Li, the second person to reach the finish line was Rong Cheng, Rong Ying's older brother.
His excellence is on par with Nie Li's, perhaps only his family's strength is slightly weaker. However, since he got on the coattails of the Quan family, the Rong family's development has been rapid, and Rong Cheng is still single and unmarried.
When he dismounted and walked towards Rong Ying and the others, the cheers he received even slightly drowned out those for Nie Li.
This is her brother!
Rong Ying unconsciously tilted her chin up, feeling as if her life was a beautiful dream.
Her friends grabbed her arm and screamed excitedly. She broke free from everyone and went to greet Nie Li, handing her a towel, "Wipe your sweat."
Nie Li naturally took the chair, wiped it casually a couple of times, and walked straight past Rong Ying to sit down.
Rong Ying turned around and looked at Nie Li's back with a mournful expression. She felt that her fiancé was good in every way, except that he was cold and indifferent, and lacked passion in his interactions with people and things.
"Yingying has grown up, and all she knows is that her fiancé has forgotten about her brother."
A more mournful voice followed, and Rong Ying turned around to meet Rong Cheng's seemingly aggrieved face.
"Brother!" Rong Ying punched Rong Cheng in embarrassment and anger, which made Rong Cheng laugh out loud. The two of them walked over and sat down next to Nie Li.
Soon, those who had participated in the horse race returned one after another, some chatting and others resting.
Rong Ying occasionally chatted with Nie Li and Rong Cheng, but most of the time she talked to her girlfriends.
Suddenly someone nudged Rong Ying's arm, "Look over there! Is that the Quan family?"
Her voice wasn't quiet, drawing everyone's attention. People fell silent instantly and looked towards the horse paddock, where they saw a young woman riding a large horse not far away.
She appeared to be a beginner; the horse was only slowly pacing, while two men followed closely behind.
"It's Quan Jia and Tai Xiao!"
Someone with sharp eyes recognized the two people. They seemed afraid that the woman would fall, and their nervousness and caution could be seen even from a distance.
The crowd watching was speechless with astonishment. It was not for any other reason than that Quan Jia and Tai Xiao were known in the industry for being arrogant, haughty, flamboyant, sharp-tongued, and cold. When had they ever been so attentive and careful to people?
"That woman must be Miss Rong, right?"
Someone murmured something, but no one responded, yet everyone agreed with her guess.
No one noticed that Rong Ying's serene face twisted for a moment.
Miss Rong, this title was very grating to her.
There is only one Rong family in Shanghai's high society, and that is their family. The Rong family only has one daughter, Rong Ying. Logically speaking, the title "Miss Rong" should undoubtedly refer to her.
As a result, everyone tacitly agreed that this title referred to the girl taken in by the Quan family.
That's right, it was taking her in, not even adoption, yet the Quan family and even the entire upper class acknowledged her identity and treated her with utmost care.
But she, the legitimate Miss Rong, could only be called Miss Rong Ying.
What she desires is to stand above everyone else, to be loved, adored, admired, and respected by all. How can she be happy if the existence of the other person makes her feel flawed?
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, her older sister Rong Rong was practically the darling of the social circle, and Rong Rong was the one with the highest status in the socialite circle. Now that she had everything that Rong Rong had, how did things change?
Rong Ying was puzzled, but she could still hear everyone excitedly discussing it.
"This woman is more like a princess than a princess. I heard that the Quan family dotes on her, especially the patriarch, the matriarch, and the heir. I wonder why?"
"I heard she did the Quan family a favor!"
“Even if there was a favor done for them, it wouldn’t be that simple. Look at Quan Jia and Tai Xiao, it’s not that simple that they treat you like this.”
At this point, everyone fell silent, staring at the three people not far away.
Because of the distance, the three people's specific appearances could not be seen clearly, but Quan Jia and Tai Xiao's high regard for Miss Rong was still clearly felt by everyone.
It's fair to say that they look completely different from their usual selves.
Rong Ying's face turned even more pale as she suddenly remembered what had happened a year ago.
Quan Jia is just like his father; he is naturally playful and has no interest in managing a company.
Three years ago, he was doing well in his studies when he suddenly entered the entertainment industry.
As a result, he seemed to be born for the stage, and quickly became a sensation in Korea as the lead singer of BXB right after his debut.
He excels in both singing and dancing, has a flamboyant personality, and possesses a perfectly handsome face that can be described as divinely created, instantly attracting tens of millions of fans and making him a top star in just three years.
His musical talent and dance prowess have lived up to the fans' love. His solo album sales have set records for singers in China and even Asia, and his singles have topped the music charts on various platforms.
He became a well-deserved superstar in the country and an international superstar.
Anyone or anything associated with him becomes an internet sensation.
However, he has an aloof personality and few friends in the industry. Countless people have tried to ride on his coattails, but none have succeeded.
Rong Ying was no exception.
