Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Exiting the Entertainment Circle Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Exiting the Entertainment Circle As she was sizing up Su Yi, Su Yi was actually doing the same to her.
She caught a glimpse of surprise in Su Yi’s eyes upon seeing her dressed in just a simple T-shirt and overalls, her hair tied back in a refreshing ponytail.
She had assumed that Rong Yan, who could enchant Li Shengxiao so thoroughly, would be a woman who paid great attention to dressing up in private. Yet, to her surprise, when she met her again, Rong Yan was dressed as casually as a student.
Her gaze wasn’t fixed glaringly on Rong Yan; it was an inconspicuous, circular survey, restrained and polite. Having done a full sweep, she retracted her gaze and with eyes as calm as water, she looked at Rong Yan and asked, “Miss Rong, do you have time for a cup of coffee?”
“Sure. Where would you like to have coffee, auntie?” Rong Yan agreed cheerfully, naturally remending, “There’s a nice coffee shop near the pany. It’s beside KT so it gets less foot traffic, and they’re very conscientious about protecting customer privacy. The flavor of the coffee is quite good, too—the beans are specially brought over by the owner from Nanzhou.”
Of course, with such qualities, the prices were exorbitantly high as well.
A coffee could cost several hundred yuan.
Even though the coffee shop was close to the pany, Rong Yan rarely indulged herself; she usually ordered delivery through her phone whenever she craved coffee. She’d rather pay a few yuan for delivery than spend a few hundred on aristocratic coffee.
She wouldn’t splurge on herself, but Su Yi was Li Shengxiao’s aunt, and she was willing to treat her to the high-end coffee.
…
Five minutes later, Su Yi, Su Xiansui, and Rong Yan sat in the coffee shop near KT.
Rong Yan, quite familiar with the place, remended their specialties to the other two. Su Yi and Su Xiansui each ordered a vanilla latte, and Rong Yan herself ordered a caramel macchiato. With their order taken, the server left to prepare them.
Once the server was gone, Rong Yan picked up the glass of lemon water from the table and took a sip. Her clear, distinct eyes voluntarily moved to Su Yi, “Auntie, did you need to see me about something?”
From the moment Su Yi had seen Rong Yan to sitting here waiting for their coffee, she was very satisfied with Rong Yan’s posed demeanor, only…
“I’ve seen the news about you. How do you plan to handle the uproar online?” Su Yi, true to her status as Madam Major General, was forthright and to the point, even if she spoke with gentle posure.
Rong Yan put down her glass and blinked honestly as she asked her, “What would you like me to do, auntie?”
Su Yi said, “I hope you can reconcile with the Rong Family. Only you know the specific method to do so. But I want you to quiet them down as much as possible, rather than publicly confronting them.”
“…”
“I’ve read the news, and I’ve spoken to Jiangjing’s aunt to understand what happened at Jinxiu Hotel that day. I can understand why you’re angry, I wouldn’t forgive them either if I were you. But there are smoother ways to solve the problem, and calling the police was the worst option. I don’t know what you were thinking, but from my perspective, it seemed like you didn’t consider Shengxiao when you made your decisions.”
She was displeased with Rong Yan’s status, and after the banquet, she’d been restless and hadn’t slept well for several days, prompting her visit to Rong Yan today.
“Since you’re with Shengxiao now, at the very least, you need to handle family affairs properly and find an appropriate time to announce your withdrawal from the entertainment industry. This is for both your and Shengxiao’s good.”
A man falling for a woman is unstoppable, just like when Lin Teng fell for her—he had been just as impassioned back then, hadn’t he?
