Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
w.a.n.g Qing just had a falling out with Rong Tianshi, and now was not the best time to show her face in front of him. Still, she couldn’t help but be astounded by his stinginess. Despite Rong Holdings being in the dire straits it was, he had signed a stock transfer agreement rather than touch the stash of private wealth he had hidden away. She wondered how much money was in there to make him so secretive and miserly.
Understanding w.a.n.g Qing’s predicament, Rong Feiyu went to pour him a gla.s.s of water. She gently fed it to him, coaxing, “Dad, think about this carefully. We’re in unusual circ.u.mstances. Maybe you should let Grandma know, just in case.”
Rong Feiyu’s words were a little hard to swallow. Mrs. Rong Sr. frowned but didn’t make a fuss, considering Rong Feiyu was still young. After wetting his throat, Rong Tianshi gasped for air before uttering, “What?”
Rong Feiyu’s eyes met w.a.n.g Qing’s, and a gleam of excitement pa.s.sed over her face. She leaned down, listening intently. Her grandmother also listened closely, holding her breath.
“Rong Qi… Jing,” he wheezed.
“Rong Qi? Jing?” Rong Feiyu repeated, a twisted look on her delicate face as her hand clenched the blanket.
w.a.n.g Qing stared in astonishment, wondering, ‘At a time like this, how could he be thinking about Rong Qi and that shameless woman?’
Mrs. Rong Sr., who was close enough to hear, lost her temper and scolded Rong Tianshi. “All you think about are that disgraceful Chu Jing and that ungrateful wretch, Rong Qi! Do you have any idea who has been staying by your side in the hospital since your accident? w.a.n.g Qing and Feiyu! As for that ingrate Rong Qi, we had to pester her with calls before she even considered showing up!”
“Rong Qi…” Rong Tianshi kept muttering the same two words.
“Enough!” Mrs. Rong Sr.’s face flushed with anger. “Give us the pa.s.swords and locations of those hidden a.s.sets now. Let me tell you, as long as I’m around, that ungrateful girl is not setting foot in here. She’s just like her mother, a two-faced snake!
“What’s so great about that Chu Jing, anyway? She’s got you all confused, neglecting your family duties. Her daughter is just as shameless, seducing men left and right—even trying to steal her own sister’s fiance, Ye Nanshen!
“I’ve made up my mind. This isn’t a negotiation; it’s a notification. Your daughter Rong Qi is outside right now. You can see her, but you tell her to leave Ye Nanshen alone and let him marry Feiyu. Our family only acknowledges Feiyu as a granddaughter, not Rong Qi. Got it?
“If she complies, I might consider letting her return to Jackdom. Otherwise, she’s not welcome here ever again!”
Rong Tianshi shook his head sadly on his hospital bed. “Impossible…”
Mrs. Rong Sr. said, “What’s impossible? Do you even know what you look like right now? You’re only here because w.a.n.g Qing is financially supporting your treatment. Without her, they’d have stopped the medication.
“w.a.n.g Qing never gave up on you despite your severe injuries. She’s the one who truly cares. But how can a lone woman like her afford to funnel in four hundred thousand a day? So think it through. Only if you give us access to those hidden a.s.sets can we save you. And allowing Feiyu to marry Ye Nanshen is the only way to salvage our family. Feiyu is obedient and well-behaved, not like Rong Qi who’s out for herself. All this is for your own good.”
At this, a mocking smile crept onto Rong Tianshi’s face. “Is it for my good, or for hers? Mom, don’t listen to gossip. Let me make myself clear. Unless Rong Qi is here, I won’t say a thing.”
“You!”
