Fang Jingyi, "Uh..."
Fang Jingyi looked at Li Li, trembling, as if a giant rock was pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Holding back tears, Fang Jingyi nodded miserably, "Was it who let the old man into the hospital? Was it who let the old man into the hospital yesterday? Why am I here today? Isn’t it for the Rong family’s descendants, for your grandson? What did I do wrong that you have to treat like this? Rong Jun left early, leaving us orphans and widows..."
"Mom, can you say a little less?" Rong Sinan said sternly.
Fang Jingyi’s lips trembled, tears in her eyes as she looked at Rong Sinan, heartbroken, "Sinan, even you want to treat mom like this? Even you want to..."
Rong Sinan tightened his lips, simply bent down and picked up Fang Jingyi, saying to Li Li, "Please take care of the old man for now, Uncle Li."
Li Li waved his hand.
Rong Sinan then carried Fang Jingyi towards the door.
"Sinan, what are you doing? Put mom down quickly, your leg..." Fang Jingyi, being carried by Rong Sinan, was stunned for a mont, then said nervously.
Rong Sinan’s eyes were deep and silent, and he walked straight out carrying her without a word.
As soon as Fang Jingyi left, Li Li quickly gave Rong Zhengfeng his dicine, helped him calm his breath, and only then did Rong Zhengfeng’s face, which was cyan-purple, turn pale. He closed his eyes, resting on the recliner, his breath as thin as a thread.
Li Li stood by his side, full of anxiety, and only after rehearsing his words in his mind did he finally speak, "Old man, Madam is focused on her child, so she is often easily deceived. Don’t hold it against her."
Rong Zhengfeng opened his eyes slightly to look at Li Li, "Focused on her child? Her?"
Li Li’s mouth twitched lightly, "Old man, the second son is still Madam’s own son. Even if she usually doesn’t get along with the second son, blood is thicker than water. In critical monts, Madam still thinks about the second son and is anxious."
"Hmph." Rong Zhengfeng closed his eyes, his face gradually regaining so color, "Maybe part of it is for Mo Chen, but ultimately, it’s to satisfy her own desire for control and to establish her position in this family.
She looks down on Momo. Rather than disapproving of Momo’s lifestyle, she looks down on Momo’s family background. Jingyi was educated from a young age to believe in matching social status, respect for one’s seniors, and filial piety as the utmost virtue.
So she treats Mo Chen and Si Nan so differently. Especially since later, Si Nan was left with a disability in his left leg from saving Mo Chen, Jingyi blas Mo Chen, always feels Mo Chen stole Si Nan’s things, so she feels more sorry for Si Nan and always critical of Mo Chen.
But Mo Chen, his nature is cold and silent. He never says a word about the differential treatnt from Jingyi. Fang Jingyi is indifferent to him, and he doesn’t cling to or care for her. You tell , how deep can the love be between such a mother and son?"
Li Li was slightly surprised.
He didn’t expect the old man to usually remain silent but see through so much.
"Jingyi’s thinking is rigid; she tends to trust the side that aligns with her interests and opinions, her mind is not as sharp as her sister’s," Rong Zhengfeng snorted.
"Uh..." Li Li’s mouth twitched; was the old man calling Madam stupid?!
Rong Zhengfeng shook his head, "Call Mo Chen, ask about that Liang Yi? Don’t let her stir up trouble again!"
Li Li nodded, picked up the landline, and was about to call.
Rong Zhengfeng frowned, opening his eyes to look at Li Li, "Also, have him move those two from the Gu Family to another place to be confined; Z City isn’t the only place with ntal hospitals!"
Li Li, "... Old man, didn’t you used to like Gu Lingyi?"
"Like her? If it wasn’t because she looks like..." Rong Zhengfeng suddenly widened his eyes, excitedly said.
Li Li raised an eyebrow, watching Rong Zhengfeng’s face abruptly turn unnatural halfway through his statent, holding back a laugh.
Rong Zhengfeng pursed his lips, awkwardly humd a few tis, and quietly said, "Mo Chen has been thinking about Momo all these years. I’ve always felt guilty towards Momo. Gu Lingyi looks like Momo, so Mo Chen would accept her a bit more easily, that’s why I tried to match them."
With that, Rong Zhengfeng sighed lightly, looking at Li Li, "Looking back, the way I treated Momo back then was really disheartening. When Old Jin died, I didn’t attend his funeral, did not show any care for Momo who was more than six months pregnant, and even condoned Jingyi forcing her out. If I were Momo, I might never let go in my lifeti. Speaking of which, Mo Chen not telling about Xixi and Hanhan’s existence earlier, he probably considered Momo’s feelings."
Rong Zhengfeng took a deep breath and suddenly felt a sense of relief, "Mo Chen wasn’t wrong, it was back then who was wrong. I can’t do heartless things and still want all good things to co my way. Thinking of that girl Momo now, really makes one’s heart ache."
Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes stung, he shook his head, "In those days, she was isolated, without support, everyone was pressuring her, trying to harm her. And she had just experienced the death of her closest person..."
Rong Zhengfeng couldn’t continue, waved his hand, closed his eyes, and turned his head to the side, showing the back of his head to Li Li.
Seeing this weighed on Li Li’s heart, he stared at the back of Rong Zhengfeng’s head for a while, then said softly, "Old Sir, actually I wanted to say back then, how could Second Young Master be soone easily deceived and manipulated by anyone? Second Young Master is the most astute of all, deeply thoughtful yet understanding. Miss Jin, after all, was just a young girl in her early twenties, no matter how calculating, could she outwit the Second Young Master? So when Mrs. Rong brought those so-called evidence videos to you, my first thought was that it was unreliable. And you, out of concern, lost your judgnt, believed those things without any verification the mont you saw them."
Because Rong Zhengfeng had his back to Li Li, Li Li couldn’t see Rong Zhengfeng’s expression and continued, "In the end, the reason you were so angry was simply that you quite liked the idea of Miss Jin being your granddaughter-in-law. Plus, you were full of expectations for the child in her womb. So when Mrs. Rong brought those things to you, you felt betrayed, fooled, and hence, the great expectation of a great-grandchild not being a Rong Family’s kin overwheld you with anger, leading you to condone Mrs. Rong’s actions against Miss Jin."
Li Li had been holding these words for a long ti, and today he finally got to express them, feeling a long-breathed relief.
However, the next mont, Rong Zhengfeng, who had been languishing in the chair, suddenly sprang up full of energy and began to whack Li Li with his cane.
Shocked, Li Li gasped in pain, dodging awkwardly under Rong Zhengfeng’s relentless cane strikes.
"I’ll beat you to death, you old thing! Why didn’t you say this back then? Why not say it back then?! Now that you say it, what use is it? What use?!" Rong Zhengfeng was so infuriated by Li Li’s words that he felt he might faint at any mont, and deeply believed he would be driven to death by this group of people soday! How could his life be this miserable?
The more he thought about it, the more unbearable it felt, causing Rong Zhengfeng to wield his cane with increasing force and swiftness.
Ultimately, with no other options, Li Li had to wave a white flag in surrender, slinking away ignominiously from the scene.
Whenever Li Li later recalled the day’s events, he always regarded it as a major stain in his life! To be in his sixties and still being chased and beaten, who else but him, who, else?
Rong Group
Rong Mochen had just co out of a high-level eting room when Wen Fu approached to report his scheduled activities for the next few days.
One of the tasks was for Rong Mochen to arrange a business trip to Indonesia the day after tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Rong Mochen furrowed his dark brows slightly, "To Indonesia?"
Wen Fu nodded, "The Rong’s branch in Indonesia is experiencing issues, and it’s already a complete ss over there."
Pausing, Wen Fu continued, "I ntioned this to you yesterday; you tacitly approved, so I made plans for the trip to Indonesia."
She had indeed ntioned it to him yesterday, but he didn’t agree to go in person!
Rong Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice calm, "Arrange for soone else to go to Indonesia. Since the situation is urgent, there’s no need to wait until the day after tomorrow, let them depart imdiately."
"This..." Wen Fu knitted her brows, looking troubled and hesitant.
Rong Mochen glanced at her, "Is there a problem?"
Wen Fu drew a breath and looked at him, "The issue with the Indonesian branch involves the local governnt there, so it seems inappropriate for anyone other than you to go. Also, there’s a major project in Indonesia that requires your personal inspection before deciding whether it can be launched."
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes deepened, he said nothing, walking into his office.
Standing at the door, Wen Fu’s fingers tightened slightly around her notebook before she followed in, "President, are you going personally, or will you arrange for soone else to go?"
Rong Mochen took off his suit and placed it on the large office chair, glanced back at Wen Fu, his expression ever-cold with dark eyes, "Didn’t you say I must go personally for this matter?"
Wen Fu lowered her head slightly, "I just think you going in person will solve the problems faster and more perfectly, but the final decision on who goes is up to you."
Rong Mochen’s mouth seed to tug slightly as he turned back and sat in the large office chair, looking down at the docunts, his voice even calr than before, "Since you’ve already scheduled the itinerary, then let’s keep it as is."
Watching his indifferent expression, Wen Fu’s eyes fleetingly showed a hint of anxiety. After standing in the office for a while, she finally turned and left.
The sound of the office door closing reached him as Rong Mochen, who had been looking down at the docunts, slowly lifted his head, his deep eyes shadowed as he gazed at the office door.
At noon, just after Rong Mochen ended a call with Li Li, a call from Rong Sinan ca in inviting him to lunch.
