One day, the Weibo, which had enjoyed a few quiet days, suddenly boiled over.
The headline "The eldest daughter of the Meng family and the only son of the Mu family have confirmed their romantic relationship" unexpectedly topped the hot - search list.
Netizens went crazy talking about it.
It was at this moment that Meng Nianchu received a call from her mother. Her father had suffered a spike in blood pressure due to the matter between Meng Rong and Mu Linfeng, and Meng Rong had been grounded.
Meng Nianchu rushed back to the Meng family in a hurry.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she heard Meng Rong yelling hysterically at her father.
"I've said I have nothing to do with Mu Linfeng! I have no idea who released this news! It's obvious that he has an unusual relationship with Meng Nianchu. What does it have to do with me!"
"Dad." Meng Nianchu took off her slippers, concealing the fury on her face upon hearing Meng Rong's words, and quickly stepped to her father's side.
Seeing her father with a gloomy face, she said, "Don't be angry."
Meng Rong suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Did you do this on purpose! Did you deliberately frame me for having a relationship with Mu Linfeng because you're afraid I'll tell Mu Junze about your relationship with him in the future!"
She held on tightly. Meng Nianchu frowned and pried her hand off. "Let go!"
"Tell me, did you do it!"
Meng Nianchu remained calm, sat down beside her father, and patted his chest to help him calm down.
"I inquired on the way. I heard that some reporters saw elder sister being very intimate with Mr. Mu, so..."
"You're lying! When did I ever meet him!" Meng Rong jumped up in anger.
However, the more she behaved like this, the more successful Meng Nianchu's plan became.
Meng Nianchu turned to her coldly and retorted, "Then how did the news come out?"
"I..."
"Enough!" Her father was extremely annoyed. He closed his eyes and was so angry that he didn't even want to look at Meng Rong. "Don't let me see you. I get angry just by looking at you!"
Although he didn't name anyone, everyone in the living room knew this was aimed at Meng Rong.
Meng Rong still wanted to argue and explain, but her mother grabbed her and gave her a look.
"Go back to your room first." Even the usually gentle mother was cold - hearted at this moment.
Meng Rong glared at Meng Nianchu angrily, stamped her foot hard, and stormed back to her room.
There was a loud "bang" as the door closed.
Her father let out a long sigh.
Meng Nianchu thoughtfully handed him a glass of water. "Why is elder sister yelling at you like this?"
"When has she ever not been like this!"
"Why does Xiaorong have to get involved with that Mu kid? What kind of family are they! She turns a deaf ear to everything we say. It's useless! My own daughter is with the son of our family's archenemy. What will the shareholders in the company think of me!"
"Maybe Dad, you can find a few more people to watch elder sister. Make sure she doesn't sneak out when she has nothing to do. That way, she won't cause any trouble."
Out of her father's sight, Meng Nianchu said these words with a gloomy expression.
Her father let out another long sigh.
"That's the only thing we can do."
The news of Meng Rong and Mu Linfeng's confirmed relationship spread like wildfire, with over a million discussions. Following this, the stocks of the Meng and Mu families skyrocketed, doubling their previous value.
The blame from the shareholders that her father had worried about didn't come for the time being, but this couldn't stop her father from being disappointed in Meng Rong.
It was already evening when Meng Nianchu left the Meng family. On her way back to Shangting, thinking about her father's cold attitude towards Meng Rong, she tightened her grip on the corner of her skirt.
It's not enough.
It's far from enough!
She had to find a way to make her father hate Meng Rong even more, so much so that he would want to sever the father - daughter relationship! Only in this way could she, to the greatest extent possible, prevent her parents from believing Meng Rong too much and causing another accident like the previous one...
The scene of her parents' tragic deaths flashed before her eyes. Meng Nianchu closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth.
Meng Rong, this is just the beginning!
There was a sudden traffic jam on the road. When Meng Nianchu returned to Shangting, Mu Junze was sitting in the living room, staring intently at the stock chart on the computer.
Meng Nianchu walked over lazily.
Mu Junze said a bit anxiously, "Why are you back so late? I couldn't reach you on the phone."
Hearing this, Meng Nianchu took out her phone. "It's out of battery."
"What are you looking at?"
Mu Junze looked solemn and leaned back. "The stocks of the Mu family are rising, and they're currently getting a lot of attention."
"Maybe they'll drop soon."
Hearing Meng Nianchu's confident words, Mu Junze glanced at her.
Meng Nianchu forced a smile. "Just saying."
The news about Mu Linfeng and Meng Rong remained hot for a long time. Her father proposed to suppress this news, but all the shareholders in the company disagreed. They even suggested that Meng Rong should have more contact with Mu Linfeng and that photos of their intimacy should be taken.
Her father didn't want to use his daughter for profit, so he had a big argument with the shareholders. They parted on bad terms.
Meng Rong, who used to be mocked and ignored by the shareholders, had now become their darling. Knowing that her father wouldn't listen to them, they secretly helped Meng Rong get out of her father's control and took meticulous care of her.
She was enjoying this.
Although Meng Rong didn't like being misunderstood for having a relationship with Mu Linfeng, seeing those who had ignored her before now treating her so well, she felt satisfied and became extremely arrogant.
The people in the crew suffered because of this.
Previously, with just the backing of the Meng family, Meng Rong was already very hard to serve. Now that she was involved with the Mu family, she became even more arrogant. The assistant director had to take good care of this "big Buddha", fearing that if Meng Rong was unhappy, he would lose his job.
Seeing Meng Nianchu walking towards her, Meng Rong was putting on makeup and said smugly, "It seems that Dad's family property will be mine in the future."
Hearing this, Meng Nianchu stopped in her tracks and stared at her expressionlessly.
Thinking she had hit a sore spot, Meng Rong giggled. "Uncle Lai from the company said I've brought great benefits to the company. The inheritance of the company will surely fall to me. Besides, I'm the eldest daughter in the family. This kind of thing should be done by me anyway."
"Since they've said so, Nianchu, don't think about these family matters in the future. You're young and not very smart. You can't do as well as I can."
"Your father is still alive, and you're already thinking about this." Meng Nianchu spat out these extremely cold words. "Shameless."
"Say that again!"
Meng Rong stood up abruptly.
Meng Nianchu remained calm and stared at her coldly.
This confident, aloof look actually made Meng Rong feel scared. She wanted to say something more to boost her courage, but Meng Nianchu cut her off sharply.
"Be careful that this glass - like dream will shatter at the slightest touch. When you wake up, you'll find yourself in an abyss!"
After saying this, Meng Nianchu walked around her.
Meng Rong staggered and quickly grabbed the table to avoid falling. She took a deep breath, turned to look at the departing Meng Nianchu, and cold sweat ran down her forehead.
She frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
