Chapter 105

"Get some good rest, don't think too much about it. Leave the other matters for me to handle," he said.

Not hearing her reply, he still felt a little disappointed.

Rong Dai swallowed and his words made her feel more and more anxious.

But just as she wanted to speak, Huo Shao Ting had already let her go and turned his back to her to sleep.

In the darkness, Rong Dai couldn't see anything. But her eyes stared blankly in that direction, lost in thought.

What did he believe in her?

She wasn't the original Rong Dai at all.

All kinds of complex feelings churned in Rong Dai's heart. Panic and helplessness mixed together. Hearing his steady breathing, she strangely wanted to cry again.

Her heart felt like it was being burned by blazing fire, scalded by hot oil. She felt extremely uncomfortable.

But Huo Shao Ting didn't speak again. The words stuck on her tongue still didn't come out.

Hearing his even breathing, she could only give up. Sighing in her heart, she fell asleep.

She had come to accept heaven's punishment after all. These days, she enjoyed Huo Shao Ting's gentle care and concern. But she had forgotten about the sins she committed in her previous life.

How could the heavenly lord still give her the qualification to be happy?

Rong Dai's heart surged with sadness. Indeed, after joy comes sorrow. After reaching the peak of the mountain, all that awaits is the downward slope.

How could she be so naive to think that she could really have any future with Huo Shao Ting?

Not only was her heart sad, but a part of her heart was also silently mocking and ridiculing her for overreaching herself and being greedy.

That night, Rong Dai slept very uncomfortably. When she got up in the morning, Huo Shao Ting was no longer by her side. There was no sound of water in the bathroom either.

As expected...

Rong Dai leaned powerlessly against the pillow, staring blankly at the ceiling.

As expected, she had wanted too much.

Huo Shao Ting was the head of a company. Being tricked by her a few times, how could he not get angry?

She forgot that back when the emperor was still a prince, he had treated her the same way too.

But afterwards, there were thousands of changes, and everything ended in sorrow.

She forgot that she should not have let her heart be disturbed from the very beginning. Now she had suffered bitterness again.

The bedroom was silent for a long time before Rong Dai got up dispiritedly from the bed. As usual, she tidied up the bed, then went into the bathroom to wash up.

In order to make herself look a little more spirited, she changed into a long ankle-length yellow dress that accentuated her slender waist and displayed the beautiful lines of her figure, dispersing some of the haggardness in her complexion.

Only then did she notice the news on her phone.

Weibo had been in an uproar all night last night. The amount of gossip from yesterday alone was enough for netizens to chew on all night.

Everyone could only think that Rong Dai was vicious. Although Wen Sha Lan was hateful, as her relative, wanting her to get a lighter sentence was just human nature.

But no one expected that in the video released by the Wen family, Rong Dai and the young miss of the Huo family were so vicious. The two had directly scared the old lady into fainting.

First, a large group of netizens unanimously cursed Rong Dai, using extremely malicious words. They wished they could dig up and dismember the graves of Rong Dai's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Seeing these comments, Rong Dai's face only showed a faint smile. She was completely indifferent to their comments now.

But the netizens never expected that in the middle of the night, a big V from the Huo family directly @ the Wen family's big V account, and released two comparative videos.

This exploded the entire network. Early this morning, the entire Weibo was paralyzed.

The vicious words previously used on Rong Dai were now overwhelmingly sprayed at the Wen family. Some even directly cursed for the old lady to go to heaven early.

Seeing this, Rong Dai smiled shallowly.

What more could she say?

Although Huo Shao Ting would suspect and distrust her because of this, she would not regret doing so.

She didn't harm anyone, but she also didn't want to be framed by others.

The Wen family's old lady had no enmity with her, yet wanted to ruin her reputation. How could she tolerate that?

If she endured, her thirty years as Empress in her previous life would have been in vain.

Seeing these comments and thinking of her almost sleepless anxiety last night, Rong Dai suddenly felt relieved.

At worst, wouldn't the result just be her divorcing Huo Shao Ting and taking on huge debts herself?

What could be worse than that?

She would not give up and admit defeat so easily. She had already lost so terribly in her previous life. She had experienced such painful and unbearable things that she had nothing left to fear.

She took a deep breath to settle the various thoughts in her heart. Picking up her phone, she registered a Weibo account for herself.

Nickname: A Bodhi Seed

Bio: May I be like the bodhi, my body like vaidurya, clear inside and out.

Then she posted a line of poetry: Resenting others' fickle hearts for long, disturbance arose from flat ground for no reason.

Then she turned off her phone screen and went downstairs. She saw her young aunt busy loading luggage into the car to send grandma off.

"Mom, are you going on a long trip?"

Rong Dai asked. Lu Zheng looked over at her and saw that she still looked a little unwell. She said, "I'll be gone for a few days. After the court hearing, I'll come back. This time, that old lady failed to scheme against you. With grandma not home, she won't be able to find someone else and will come looking for me again."

"We can't compromise this time. This concerns your life and we can't give in. Shao Ting is handling things, so don't worry and don't overthink it. Just focus on what you need to do."

Lu Zheng exhorted her, still worried about the relationship between her and her son.

Last night, it seemed like something had happened between the two. This morning her son had left early for the company without even eating breakfast.

Rong Dai nodded, "I will. Mom, you also pay attention to safety and keep us updated."

Lu Zheng nodded. She was still somewhat comforted.

Then she got in the car and Uncle Li sent her to the airport.

"Done!" Huo Mei Shu clapped her hands and walked over to lean her shoulder against hers. "Sis-in-law, don't worry. This matter will only backfire on the Wen family."

Rong Dai nodded. She didn't want to think about this for now. She would just let Huo Shao Ting handle it.

After breakfast, Huo Shao Jie had to rush off for work on his new drama. Huo Mei Shu also had to prepare for her own personal music.

Rong Dai also took a car to Jiang Ling's place. Over the past few days, it had been Huo Shao Ting sending her over. Today, with no one by her side, she felt like something was missing from her heart.

She looked at the lush green leaves in the yard and pushed open the fence to walk in. The old man was practicing tai chi.

"How come after I let you rest for a day yesterday, you stirred up such a big commotion? That boy really takes after you, actually getting into a fight and hitting someone."

Seeing her come over, Old Man Jiang stopped his fists and sat down on a stone stool to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.

Rong Dai smiled bitterly. It seemed that everything had changed just because of yesterday.

"Uncle Jiang, don't tease me. I'm already notorious now."

"Not feeling well?" Jiang Ling looked up at her and saw her forced smile.

Rong Dai nodded. How could she feel good?

She had never felt so flustered before. Last night, she desperately wanted to confess everything. It would be a matter of life or death with just a single thought.

But she thought of Huo Shao Ting's all kinds of gentleness and thoughtfulness towards her, as well as all kinds of mess that could happen. She suddenly shrank back.
