Rong Feiyu, with her head hung low, clenched her fists tightly in frustration. She thought, ‘How things had gone so awry. Hadn’t Mom assured me everything was under control? Where did this meddlesome nurse come from?’
Meanwhile, the situation at the auction venue was no less chaotic. As Mrs. Rong Sr. kept slandering Rong Qi, a sharp female voice suddenly cut through the noise, “Who’s spouting such nonsense without fear of divine retribution?”
The voice made Mrs. Rong Sr. recoil in surprise. The speaker was none other than the caregiver Rong Qi had hired for Rong Tianshi. Still in her uniform, the caregiver strode into the crowd, her face stern with indignation.
“You want the truth? Let someone who knows a thing or two tell it,” the caregiver declared.
Her unexpected appearance raised eyebrows. One of the reporters asked, “And who might you be?”
“I’m the caregiver Ms. Rong Qi hired for Mr. Rong. As far as I know, all the hospital bills have always been paid by Ms. Rong Qi. There’s been no shirking of responsibility. And if you’re going to tell a story, why not tell the whole thing?” said the caregiver as she glared disdainfully at Mrs. Rong Sr.
“On the day Mr. Rong urgently needed surgery, it was his own mother and daughter, Rong Feiyu, who initially chose to give up on him. In the end, it was Ms. Rong Qi who insisted the doctors continue with the surgery. Everything I’m saying is a fact. Just ask anyone involved in the surgery that day.”
The caregiver pointed accusingly at Mrs. Rong Sr. and continued, “People should know their place. At your age, you should be sitting quietly somewhere, not stirring up trouble and framing your own granddaughter. Ms. Rong Qi really drew the short straw having a relative like you. You all claim respect for the elderly, but it’s earned, not given. People like you don’t deserve respect. I’d be too kind not to spit in your face!”
Mrs. Rong Sr. was left speechless by the caregiver’s tirade.
Someone tried to defend Mrs. Rong Sr.’s stance, “But it’s true that Mr. Rong is critically ill in the hospital, and Rong Qi’s not caring for him. Instead, she’s acknowledged another man as her father…”
“Mind your own business! Are you so free that you want to go to the hospital and care for Mr. Rong yourself?” The caregiver’s sharp retort silenced the reporters.
The caregiver looked at Mrs. Rong Sr. who was shrinking and said, “You’re human too. You were instigated by others to target your own granddaughter because of a small profit. Only you would do such a thing.”
The caregiver then turned to Rong Qi with a bow, “Ms. Rong, I apologize for the trouble at the hospital.”
Rong Qi shook her head slightly, “It’s okay. You should get back to your work.”
The caregiver departed as quickly as she had arrived, leaving a clear picture of the unfounded accusations.
Sensing the tide turning against her, Wang Qing immediately called her undercover reporters, urging them to flee the scene.
However, as one thin reporter was discreetly exiting with his camera, a group of imposing bodyguards suddenly appeared and detained him, dragging him before Sheng Jiu.
Sheng Jiu eyed the thin reporter coldly, “Who sent you? Confess, and I might consider letting you die easily.”
The reporter clenched his teeth, “I’m just a reporter who reports facts. Would you really bully a small-time reporter like me, Mr. Sheng?”
Sheng Jiu scoffed, not bothering to reply. His assistant, understanding the situation, stepped forward and grabbed the reporter’s chin, dislocating his jaw with a swift snap..
