Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 932 - 440: War of Public Opinion (Part 2)

If he doesn’t repay the gambling debt, even without regard to the public opinion on his own father, it would crush him. Fathers may lack kindness, but sons must not lack filial piety.

Shan Wei sincerely said, "I think we should start with the mafia in Australia and find a mediator to negotiate. We can rescue the person first and pay back the debt slowly. However, this will surely be a tumultuous journey for Mr. Rong; he must endure it himself, or no one can save him." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Shan Wei felt compassionate inside; such a great child with limitless prospects, who knew he’d end up with such a family and parents. He’s still so young, he must persevere.

Shen You’an curved his lips slightly, "No, he won’t pay a cent of this money."

Shen You’an hung up the phone and saw Ding Meng making calls to sell her overseas assets.

Shen You’an couldn’t help but see this woman in a different light.

She is truly sincere towards Rong Xianning.

If it was another capitalist, they would have discarded Rong Xianning as a sacrificial pawn immediately.

The company’s liquidity cannot be touched. After much consideration, Ding Meng could only painfully sell off her foreign assets, repeatedly convincing herself that Rong Xianning could earn the money back for her in the future. As the saying goes, one doesn’t catch the wolf without risking the child.

Gathering these assets and borrowing some from friends might be enough.

Shen You’an walked over to Rong Xianning and gently patted his shoulder, offering silent comfort.

"An’an, why do I have such parents?"

The boy asked a soul-searching question.

Aren’t parents supposed to love their children? But as long as he can remember, his parents have only given him insults, violence, and endless debts.

So tired, really tired.

He thought he had escaped his original family and welcomed a new life. Everything seemed to be improving, but it turns out, he was just too happy too soon.

Joy brings sorrow.

He felt he was not worthy of happiness.

Shen You’an felt Rong Xianning’s inner turmoil, and his mood was equally heavy.

He’s not yet fifteen, but his frail shoulders have to bear so much.

Shen You’an gently held his hand, transferring the warmth from his palm.

"Believe in me, everything will pass. Now you should perk up, let’s solve the problem together."

Rong Xianning stared at their clasped hands, so tempting, yet he couldn’t be so selfish.

He wanted to pull his hand back, but the other held it so tightly.

"An’an, I don’t want to burden you, you should go."

"We’re friends, what’s this talk about burdening? Say that again, and I’ll be angry."

Shen You’an’s face stiffened, expressionless.

Rong Xianning murmured, "But how can it be solved? Even selling myself won’t come close to a billion."

Even if the billion debt were paid off, what about the future?

The appetite of man grows as it is fed. With such parents, he’s destined to live in hell for his entire life.

The boy’s eyes lost all their light.

"I have a way."

Rong Xianning looked up at her.

The girl’s eyes were dazzling, filled with confidence and vitality.

"Do you want to believe in me?"

Those bright eyes seemed like black holes, irresistibly drawing one’s soul.

Just then, Ding Meng walked over, "Combining all my assets, it’s almost enough to repay the debt. Rong Xianning, I’m telling you, you’ll have to work for me for a lifetime, don’t think about running away until you’ve earned enough money."

Shen You’an pulled Rong Xianning up, "I’m going to Australia with Aning."

Ding Meng, in exasperation, said, "Why are you causing trouble? Do you know what kind of place Australia is?"

"A famous gambling city, so what?"

Ding Meng laughed angrily at Shen You’an’s brazen tone, "What can a little girl like you do there? That’s the world gambling city, not a place for you to run wild."

"How does it compare to Siland’s Huacai City?"

Ding Meng sneered, "Of course, it’s not as good as Huacai City, but it’s not a place you can manage."

Shen You’an coldly said, "The priority now is to rescue Rong Yu, and Rong Xianning must go in person—it needs to be publicized widely. As for how to rescue, you needn’t worry. I have my methods. What you can do is conduct investigations in Rong Xianning’s hometown, digging up his painful experiences as a child and presenting them truthfully to the public. There’s a saying: even the fiercest tiger doesn’t eat its cubs—if fathers lack kindness, sons might lack piety. We are fighting a war of public opinion."

Shen You’an spoke fast and steadily, laying things out clearly, even assigning tasks to Ding Meng.

Just as Ding Meng was about to get angry, she saw the girl’s confident and profound eyes, suddenly recalling the scene where she was laughing and chatting with Sula in the private room last time, and some things she privately investigated about Shen You’an.

She probed, "Are you sure you can rescue him?"

Maybe she does know some big shots.

"You just need to do what you should. You don’t need me to teach you the art of public relations, selling hardship, right?"

Being ordered mockingly by a girl, Ding Meng was almost exploding with anger, but she also knew this wasn’t the time to be angry.

"Alright, I’ll believe you this time. I’ll hire eight bodyguards for you, you must ensure Xiao Rong’s safety, Australia is a chaotic place."

"No need." Shen You’an pointed to Xiao Hu in the corner.

"Just him alone is enough."

With that, she pulled the stunned Rong Xianning, turned around and left without looking back.

Xiao Hu touched his nose and silently followed.

"President Ding, are you just letting her take Xiao Rong away like that? What if something happens?"

Ding Meng snorted coldly, "I think she’s capable and has deep ties with Xiao Rong, unlikely to harm him. She’s right—we must leverage Xiao Rong’s background to create articles, earn public sympathy. We cannot lose the public opinion war."
