Chapter 137: Chapter 137: He Won ‘t Back Down

Translator: 549690339

Shi Mufeng had already figured out how to refuse Rong Yan the moment he opened his mouth.

However, he did not expect Rong Yan not to plead with him as he had imagined; instead, she seemed to be in control, casually leaning back in her chair. She took a sip of the coffee a waiter had brought over and then spoke deliberately, “I want you to tell me the truth, were you and Rong Weiwei together during the time you were dating me?”

Shi Mufeng slowly frowned, “Why are you asking this?”

“I just want you to tell the truth,” Rong Yan said steadily, looking him in the eyes.

Shi Mufeng was somewhat flustered by her piercing gaze and averted his eyes, “Rong Yan, you don’t need to beat around the bush. No matter what you say today, I won’t speak on your behalf in front of the reporters. Because everything I told the reporters that day, was the truth! Do you dare say you weren’t pregnant five years ago?”

“It’s not that I specifically want to make things difficult for you. Originally, I didn’t plan to tell the reporters these things if you didn’t trouble Weiwei. It was you who got caught in an indecent photo online, and in order to divert public attention, you actually dragged your own sister out to take the fall. You even hired paid trolls online to release the news that Weiwei was the mistress! Have you ever thought about the impact on Weiwei’s career if I let these revelations ferment? Did you consider any of these before you did them?”

Rong Yan wanted to scoff at his words.

Sure enough, it was just as she had guessed; Rong Weiwei had told him that the online trolls were hired by her and that she was behind the exposé.

That’s why Shi Mufeng suddenly stepped forward to take a media interview and said those words.

However, no matter the reason, what he said to the reporters was ridiculous in itself!

“Have you thought about the impact your words to the reporters have had on my career?”

Shi Mufeng replied impatiently, “If it wasn’t for you hiring trolls to slander

Weiwei first, I wouldn’t have said those things to the reporters.”

Rong Yan let out a cold laugh, her eyes shining as she countered, “Did you see me hiring trolls? Or see me finding someone to spread rumors online? Which eye of yours saw me blacken Rong Weiwei’s name?”

MMP, she was the one who had been blackened from head to toe!

Shi Mufeng was at a loss for words, he forcefully came up with a reason, “Besides you, who else could it be? Stop making excuses. I have no evidence to prove the online trolls were hired by you, but I believe it’s very simple to find out. You keep saying it wasn’t you, all right, I can have someone check it right in front of you to see if it was you who did it, so that you won’t be able to say I wronged you!”

Rong Yan snorted with laughter, stopping him from grabbing his phone, “No need.”

Rong Weiwei must have already coordinated her story with the trolls by now. If they were to investigate, the trolls would undoubtedly say it was her doing!

Asking was as good as asking for nothing; she didn’t want to humiliate herself unnecessarily.

Shi Mufeng’s impatience and disdain for her grew increasingly harder to hide. As expected, Rong Yan was still the same as she was five years ago, always speaking ill of Weiwei. When asked for evidence, she could produce none. He really shouldn’t have chosen to come after seeing that message; it must have been the stupidest decision he made today.

“You neither admit it was you who did it, nor are you willing to confront the trolls face to face. So what exactly do you want from me by asking me out today?”

He knew that after she realized her persistence was futile, she would probably make a request of him.. His stance was the same as before; he would not change his mind, and it was absolutely impossible to change!
