The banquet was a lively affair, filled with the clinking of glasses and cheerful conversation, creating a scene of warmth and comfort.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from outside.
"Someone's jumping from the building!"
"Ah!"
"Save them!"
The crowd was instantly thrown into a frenzy.
Heads turned upwards, eyes wide with shock.
Who would be so desperate to end their life, to go to the rooftop to jump? Where were the security guards of the J-K Hotel?
Ah!
That woman's leg is out; she's going to jump!
Rong Jingyang also witnessed the perilous scene.
Frowning, he turned his head, "Go get Old Qin."
Fan Yinghao responded with a "Yes" and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ai Wei also noticed the incident on the top floor. After receiving a phone call, she let out a scream, "No!"
"Nannan, don't do anything foolish!"
Then, she vanished towards the stairwell like the wind.
Rong Jingyang had just finished giving instructions to Fan Yinghao when he saw Ai Wei rushing towards the elevator.
Did she know the woman jumping?
Without further thought, Rong Jingyang controlled his wheelchair and followed closely behind.
Ai Wei raced to the top floor, her heart pounding as she saw her good friend Zhu Nan standing outside the railing.
"Nannan, what are you doing!"
Zhu Nan was crying rivers of tears, her makeup smeared across her face, making her look like a ghost. She roared at Ai Wei, "Don't come over! If you come over, I'll jump!"
Ai Wei dared not take another step. She panted, her voice laced with anxiety, "Okay, I won't come closer. You, you hold on tight."
Please don't let go.
"Why, why..." Zhu Nan held the railing with one hand, her other arm extended as if reaching for the moon in the sky. She cried out in despair, "What's wrong with me? How am I inferior to that old woman?"
While trying to placate her friend, Ai Wei subtly moved closer. "Who dares say you're not good enough, Nannan? Please, calm down."
"Don't do anything rash. If you die, wouldn't that old woman get her way?"
"Listen to me, we need to live well and defeat that old woman."
...
Rong Cheng parked the car at the hotel entrance.
Before unlocking the car, he turned to look at Du Ruoxin, "Madam, the Master said he has two surprises for you today."
Surprises?
Hopefully not shocks.
Du Ruoxin's contemplative face showed no hint of joy at his words, not even a flicker of emotion. "Open the door."
Rong Cheng: "Yes."
Due to the dim light inside the car, Du Ruoxin did not see the meaningful smile that flickered in his eyes.
She stepped out of the car with a determined air.
Rong Cheng handed the car over to the valet and also entered the hotel. However, the moment he stepped out of the car, his face was covered with a solemn and heavy expression.
No one could decipher his emotions.
Du Ruoxin walked further inside, her eyes like Sun Wukong's, scanning Rong Jingyang's location with 360-degree all-seeing eyes.
However, the surrounding chatter was too loud to ignore.
Someone jumping from the building?
Who?
Du Ruoxin looked up, but due to the distance, she couldn't see clearly who it was.
She, however, disdained such behavior.
Although she had threatened Cristiano with it before, Du Ruoxin had never actually considered suicide.
Isn't life wonderful?
With endless delicious food, countless breathtaking sceneries, and unending warmth to enjoy.
Whether it was friendship or family.
At least—
As she was silently musing, Du Ruoxin heard the chirping voices of women nearby, and she immediately straightened her back.
"Isn't that Ai Wei?"
"I heard Madam Rong dislikes her and makes things difficult for her everywhere, almost to the point of collectively blacklisting her from E City's wealthy circles!"
"Ah, you don't understand. Does Madam Rong need to state it explicitly when she dislikes someone?"
"Who would risk offending Madam Rong to give Ai Wei a kind word?"
"Ai Wei can't survive in E City anymore."
"Oh~~~"
"No wonder she's threatening to commit suicide."
Du Ruoxin: "..."
Was Rong Cheng's hesitant remark meant to imply that her mother-in-law was blacklisting Ai Wei?
Listening to the women around her chattering, Du Ruoxin's mind felt like a muddled mess, and she couldn't react for a long time.
But one thing she was certain of.
Ai Wei wouldn't commit suicide. Her vitality was like an unkillable cockroach; how could she possibly take her own life?
Unless she was deliberately doing it to get Rong Jingyang's attention.
At this moment, Du Ruoxin panicked. She scanned her surroundings, searching.
Where was Rong Jingyang?
If he dared to be captivated by Ai Wei's petty tricks, she would make him pay!
