After a brief moment of shock, Meng Rong came to her senses. She strode forward in a panic, searching for the switch of the big screen. Regardless of her image, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Who did this! Turn it off, turn it off right away!"
"Turn it off quickly!" her assistant also shouted and then blocked in front of the big screen, attempting to cover it.
However, it was of no use at this moment. Everyone had already seen it. In an instant, the press conference was in complete chaos. The little favor that Meng Rong had managed to accumulate just now was completely gone.
People at the press conference were whispering to each other. "I didn't expect Meng Rong to be so ruthless. She could even arrange for someone to rape her own sister. What a despicable thing to do."
"Tell me about it. She was just acting so pitiful, talking about helping poor children. I bet most of it was just made - up nonsense! A person who can be so cruel to her own sister won't have a kind heart for outsiders!"
"I think so too."
These remarks seemed to be deliberately loud, as if they were afraid that Meng Rong wouldn't hear them.
Meng Rong's face turned ashen with anger.
Only then did the behind - the - scenes staff react and quickly turn off the big screen. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Meng Rong, and they pricked up their ears, waiting for her explanation.
Meng Rong looked around angrily, with raging flames burning in her eyes.
Who on earth was the one pulling such a dirty trick behind her back!
Suddenly, her gaze was fixed on a woman sitting in the last row, trying to leave quietly. Narrowing her eyes, she stormed over angrily. She grabbed the woman's arm forcefully, wishing she could tear her apart. "Meng Nianchu, I knew it was you!"
"Let go."
Meng Nianchu was yanked up by her. Frowning, she tried to shake off Meng Rong's hand but couldn't. Looking back at Meng Rong's aggressive gaze with a gloomy look in her eyes, she said coldly, "I'll say it one last time. Let go of me!"
"Let go so you can find another chance to deal with me!?" Having lost so much face in front of so many people, Meng Rong was burning with rage and couldn't hold back her temper at all.
Fortunately, the assistant was quite smart. When she saw the reporters frantically taking pictures of Meng Rong grabbing Meng Nianchu, she quickly stepped forward. "Xiaorong, let's handle this some other way..."
"Get out of the way!"
Inevitably, the assistant was also scolded. Seeing Meng Rong so angry, the assistant didn't dare to say anything more. She could only stand aside anxiously, trying to figure out a solution.
They couldn't let the situation get any worse!
Meng Rong tightened her grip on Meng Nianchu's wrist and gritted her teeth. "You dared to frame me. You were the one who put that video on the big screen, weren't you!"
"If you had no dirty secrets, who could smear you?"
This casual rhetorical question left Meng Rong fuming with anger. She suddenly raised her arm and slapped Meng Nianchu hard across the face.
A crisp sound rang out before anyone could react.
With a dark face, Meng Nianchu instantly slapped her back.
"Don't push your luck."
Filled with intense anger, this slap was especially forceful. Immediately, Meng Rong's face swelled up.
Meng Rong never expected Meng Nianchu to hit her back. After being stunned for a couple of seconds, she rushed at Meng Nianchu like a madwoman and grabbed her hair tightly.
"You bitch! How dare you hit me! I'm your elder sister! Who's pushing their luck? It's clearly you. You've ruined everything of mine, you jinx!"
"Let go!"
In the chaos, Meng Nianchu also grabbed Meng Rong's hair.
The two slender women fought with all their might.
The reporters quickly pressed the shutter buttons, not wanting to miss any moment. Meng Rong's assistant was on the verge of tears. The well - organized press conference had been completely ruined.
The reporters were eager to get the scoop, so they naturally didn't want to separate the two women. Finally, the venue staff had to forcefully pull them apart.
"You've messed up such an important event of mine. I'll never let you off!" Meng Rong said hatefully. Meng Nianchu calmly tidied up her clothes and sneered, "You have so many enemies. Who knows who's targeting you."
Meng Rong shouted angrily, "Who else could it be but you!"
Calm and composed, Meng Nianchu said casually, "For example, the man in the video who had a conscience and exposed it."
Suddenly.
Meng Rong's expression froze. She glanced at the reporters behind her and swallowed the words that were about to come out. Then, her anger got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
Meng Nianchu coldly glanced at the reporters who were still taking pictures of them. With a strange smile, she picked up her handbag on the chair and walked away with her back straight.
Meng Rong stared intently at Meng Nianchu's back, her back teeth grinding loudly. She was about to rush after her angrily, but the next second, she was surrounded by a large number of reporters, blocking her way.
Microphones were held in front of her face, and one question after another came into her ears.
"Is it true that you arranged for someone to rape Meng Nianchu?"
"Why did you do that?"
The assistant could see Meng Rong's impatience. Afraid that she would lash out at the reporters and cause more trouble, she quickly stepped forward to protect Meng Rong and avoid the embarrassing questions from the reporters.
Hearing the reporters' questions from afar, Meng Nianchu cast a cold glance. Seeing Meng Rong in a complete mess, she let out a sneer.
This was just the beginning!
Even though no more incidents happened in the end, the news that Meng Rong and Meng Nianchu had fought at the press conference quickly spread on the Internet.
It caused quite a stir.
The public also learned about Meng Rong's attempt to ruin Meng Nianchu's innocence.
The video became more and more of a hot topic, and the scolding grew more and more intense. The situation was even worse than before the press conference.
These events not only threatened Meng Rong's personal reputation but also had a great impact on her father's company.
The last incident in Singapore involving Meng Rong had already dealt a heavy blow to the company, and the profits had been declining. Now, with these things being made public, how could the netizens still trust the stocks of the Meng family's company? They all rushed to sell them.
The company suffered heavy losses.
Mr. Meng had no choice but to transfer funds in advance to try to fill the hole in the company. However, when he went to the finance department to get the money, he found that 30 million yuan had mysteriously disappeared from the company's account recently.
Mr. Meng rummaged through the account books of the past few months but couldn't find out where the money had been spent.
Just then, the finance staff member, Xiao Zhang, came back after delivering the report. Mr. Meng's face darkened. He threw the stack of account books in his hand and asked sternly, "Where did the missing 30 million yuan of the company go?"
"I..." Hearing Mr. Meng mention this, Xiao Zhang's flattering face immediately showed panic. "The company isn't short of money."
"I've painstakingly cultivated you so that you can reach this position today. Don't you forget that!" Mr. Meng raised his arm and slapped the table hard.
The pen on the table wobbled and fell to the ground. Xiao Zhang trembled.
"This sum of money, I..."
"Speak!"
Mr. Meng suddenly raised his voice. The sound was deafening, and Xiao Zhang felt his thighs tremble even more.
He said with a mournful face, "Meng Rong came to the company some time ago and said that you told her to get 30 million yuan from me. Since she mentioned you, I didn't think much and just gave it to her."
Mr. Meng's expression became even colder. "Why didn't you tell me!"
"She told me not to tell you. She also said that if I agreed to her, she would find a way to make me the leading actor in a TV drama. I was so blinded that I agreed."
