The Rong Family was about to go bankrupt.
When people heard this piece of news, many of them found it hard to believe.
After all, the Rong Family wasn't some nouveau riche family. They weren't just your normal wealthy family either. Rong Family was considered one of the very best aristocratic families in City C. The Rong Group also owned several of the most profitable markets that kept abreast of modern developments. The current family head of this generation, Rong Ji, previously topped the list of the richest person living in C City. So how was it possible that such a big family enterprise would fall over just like that?
However, ever since Rong Ji was hospitalized urgently and was taken away by the police under the stares of a thousand eyes, the Rong family's stocks had started to dwindle and people began to believe that this seemingly unshakeable old aristocratic family was really about to topple over.
Just as the saying 'when the tree topples, the monkeys scatter' 1, the more they s.h.i.+ned in the olden days, the more despair they felt when they collapsed.
A few months had not even pa.s.sed when it was decided that the Rong Family residence, which was worth hundreds of millions, was going to be sold at an auction.
People who were ignorant of the situation watched this in amus.e.m.e.nt and at the same time, they also recalled something.
Where did the Rong Family Lady who sat in a wheelchair go?
The lady of the Rong Family was quite famous. She had encountered an accident during her childhood which led to her mother pa.s.sing away while she herself became forever handicapped and restricted to sit in a wheelchair. From that point on, she had rarely gone out and because she was protected tightly, many people were completely unaware that Rong Ji actually had a daughter at that time.
A lot of people also heard rumors that the Rong Family Lady in the wheelchair had a refined appearance. Her temperament was unique and had talent. The only pity was that she was handicapped so they could only sigh that n.o.body was perfect.
She rarely showed her face in public and would almost never join any public events. Even if a gossip reporter wanted to take a picture of her, they would never be able to find her person. Now that the Rong Family had fallen, many people were curious about her whereabouts.
Until one auction event was being held and she had finally revealed herself.
The auction took place at Yun Ting Hotel's banquet hall where waiters carried around trays, walking past several celebrities of the business world and whilst the hall was filled with reserved and graceful girls smiling and men showing off their gentlemanly att.i.tudes–
"Hey look, who is that? How come she's in a wheelchair?"
"Don't you know who she is? She's the heiress of the Rong Family."
"So that's her ah….."
From the doors of the ballroom, someone slowly pushed her wheelchair in.
The person who sat in the wheelchair was the much gossiped about Rong Family Lady, Rong Mo.
According to her age, she was already 22 years old but perhaps because she wasn't exposed to sunlight all year round and was incapable of moving, her body seemed incomparably delicate and her face appeared to be younger than her age at about 17 or 18 years old. Even if she only had light makeup on and her hair was simply draped across her shoulders, aside from a simple necklace, she didn't have any other jewelry adorned, yet she was more attractive than any of the girls who gorgeously dressed themselves up in the room.
Unlike the other girls who had on pretty dresses and perfect makeup, her expression looked insipid from beginning to end. Her hands were folded over each other and were placed atop her knees. From far away, she looked like an exquisite and pampered figure sitting on a wheelchair.
It was no wonder that someone in their circle had mentioned previously that even though the Rong Family Lady was handicapped, she was still a girl that every guy wanted to attain. That kind of weak and delicate beauty made anyone who saw her unable to resist lifting her up from her wheelchair — after all, she wouldn't be able to resist in any case at all.
At that time she was still the pearl of the Rong Family's palm and was protected by her father strongly so it was very hard for others to be able to sneak a look at her.
It was only until a few years ago when she was kidnapped that many people who were unaware of the situation, realized that Rong Zhi had such a daughter. Most of them were women who wanted to become her stepmother but there were also several guys who showed interest in this Rong Family heiress who was rumored to be as beautiful as a priceless piece of art. However, showing interest and being able to approach her were two entirely different things.
But now, the situation was different. Since the big tree of Rong Family had toppled over, she had thoroughly lost a mountain to lean on.
A few men initially had a look of shock in their eyes but their expressions slowly changed and was concealed very well.
n.o.body realized that her fingertips were already digging into the cus.h.i.+on of her wheelchair.
Luo Qingqing had just entered and was surprised to see her. She hurriedly pa.s.sed through the groups of people and arrived by her side. Taking her wheelchair from the service man's hand, she pushed her into the lobby.
"Momo, weren't you not coming anymore?"
Luo Qingqing knew about the Rong Family's piece of land that was about to be auctioned as she had just finished seeing the person who was in charge of this. She didn't expect that Rong Mo would personally come herself."
"I only wanted to take a look."
At this auction, among the items that the Rong Family had entrusted to be auctioned, was a piece of land where the old residence of the Rong Family occupied.
Although she was a customer of this auction as well, with the current situation of the Rong Family, the receptionist who was supposed to be responsible for greeting her went over to greet other VIP customers.
Luo Qing Qing felt helpless. "You should have told me then. You don't even have a bodyguard by your side. Where's Lin Sa?"
"I didn't let her come with me." Rong Mo said lightly. "With my current situation, if I brought a bodyguard with me, it'd be too conspicuous."
In reality, even if she didn't bring a bodyguard with her, it would still be similarly conspicuous.
However, Luo Qingqing did not say these words out loud.
