Chapter 191: She’s Different

Chapter 191

"That depends on whether what you're saying is true or not," Rong Dai said as she looked at her.

Her face was very cold, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were sharp.

Zhu Li didn't dare look into her eyes. She lowered her head and nodded, her legs going soft as she slowly got up from the floor and sat down on the chair.

Rong Dai took out her phone and turned on the video recording function.

"Ms. Zhu, you need to make sure everything you say is true and voluntary."

Having lived an entire lifetime before, she was very clear on the importance of evidence.

Yang Wanwan had nearly taken her life.

Although Zhu Li hadn't managed to do anything to her yet, she still didn't dare to blindly trust her.

What if when it came time for Zhu Li to testify, she went back on her word and accused Rong Dai of coercing her confession?

Although she didn't want to think so sinisterly of others, her experiences in her past life were just too much.

She had seen far too many dirty tactics and so had to be cautious.

Yang Wanwan had already hurt her once before.

She was no merciful bodhisattva who could still act tolerant and magnanimous after being harmed by others.

She was just an ordinary person without that kind of heart.

"I'm willing," Zhu Li said very cleverly. She understood what Rong Dai meant by asking her this, so she nodded in response.

"Then please go ahead," Rong Dai nodded. Seeing that Zhu Li was cooperating, she also breathed a small sigh of relief.

After all, Yang Wanwan was basically just wearing a different face now. Who could guarantee she wouldn't swap out the "Wang Xin" face for yet another?

Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye stood by and watched as Rong Dai calmly and unhurriedly questioned Zhu Li. The two men tacitly did not interrupt.

This Huo Shaoting really had a vicious eye.

Many girls Rong Dai's age who went through something like this would likely be scared out of their wits.

Yet Rong Dai was able to handle it so calmly, gathering evidence and catching the other side off guard.

Zhu Li told Rong Dai everything she knew in full detail, including how she had come to be Rong Dai's makeup artist.

"...Mrs. Huo, I know what I did was wrong."

She really could not understand this young girl who looked like she hadn't even graduated university yet.

In the few months on set, Rong Dai did not strive for anything. She would just do her own job and not politick or form cliques.

It could be said she had a very gentle temperament, at least up until tonight, that was what Zhu Li thought.

But after witnessing Rong Dai tonight, she finally realized that this girl who looked harmless and gentle actually had formidable wrists and intellect beyond ordinary people.

No wonder she could become the prestigious wife of the Huo Group's president.

This testimony was something she was willing to provide.

Although not part of the entertainment industry herself, she worked within it.

Even if only a small makeup artist, she still heard all the gossip in this circle daily.

She had seen all kinds of dirty tactics.

In the end, Yang Wanwan was just another sacrificial lamb.

Even without that recording, she wouldn't have gone back on her word.

But Rong Dai still insisted on saying all this. So even if Zhu Li wanted to renege in the future, remembering Rong Dai's words, she would not be able to do it.

"Rong Dai, you really are so different, you...are so warm and kind."

After getting the matter off her chest, Zhu Li felt much more relaxed.

She also dared to meet Rong Dai's eyes directly, giving her a faint smile as she said this one line, then wrote down her address and contact details for Rong Dai.

"Thank you for giving me a chance at redemption. I almost...made a mistake."

Zhu Li bowed deeply to Rong Dai, sincerely thanking her.

If Rong Dai had left tonight, under Wanwan's coercion she might not have been able to withstand the pressure and really gone and harmed Rong Dai per her orders.

That way, not only would she be ruined, but her family and child would be done for too.

Rong Dai glanced at the slip of paper in her hand, looking at Zhu Li impassively, "There's no need to thank me. You saved yourself."

Zhu Li didn't say anything more. After tidying up her things, she left the makeup room.

With this matter causing such a ruckus, Rong Dai no longer felt like cooking either. She went with Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye to the restaurant for a meal instead.

"Sis-in-law, for this matter...how do you plan to handle it?" Lu Ye tentatively asked her after they got a private room at the restaurant.

Rong Dai took out her mobile phone, then opened up the audio and video recordings she had made and handed it to him, "For things like this, it's best to leave it to the professionals."
