The shareholders' meeting accepted Rong Sheng's resignation and elected Zhou Kaiyun as the new chairman.
In order to stabilize the situation, Zhou Kaiyun agreed to take on the role of the new chairman.
At the opening of the stock market today, the share price of Rong's Group continued to fall.
As the new chairperson, Zhou Kaiyun invested to support the stock price.
After a morning of effort, Rong's Group's stock price gradually stabilized in the afternoon.
...
In the afternoon, Rong Sheng went to see Zhou Kaiyun.
He apologized to her.
Zhou Kaiyun merely gave a cold laugh in response to Rong Sheng's apology.
"You did nothing wrong, how could I possibly accept your apology?"
"Kaiyun, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well. I was really wrong."
"Your mistake was mistreating my sister, breaking her heart so that she would die with her eyes open in disgrace. Your mistake was causing the Rong family to break their promise and disgrace them."
Rong lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating bitter smile.
Zhou Kaiyun continued, "I will not let this go. This matter must be investigated to the end. I will not let Yao Yao live her life in such an unclear and hurtful way. She is lucky, but have others thought about the suffering she has endured?"
Rong Sheng looked up at Zhou Kaiyun and said, "I respect the police investigation and will cooperate with it. I also want to know the truth of what happened back then. Rong Yan made a mistake and committed a crime. She should take responsibility, and I will not tolerate her."
"It's no use saying anything now, I just want to see the facts."
"No matter what, I still want to say sorry to you!"
Zhou Kaiyun remained silent; she still refused to accept Rong Sheng's apology.
Compared to the harm Qiao Chu suffered, this apology was utterly insignificant.
...
Rong Sheng went home, and Yang Lijuan was also at home.
She sat on the sofa, clearly waiting for Rong Sheng.
She knew that the Rong family was really doomed.
The daughter is gone; the only one left is the son.
Even though she was reluctant, Yang Lijuan still had to think about her son.
Her son was her pride, and she couldn't ruin his future.
If this case continues to be investigated and everything is learned, Zhou Kaiyun will definitely not give up, and she can only protect her only son.
...
Rong Sheng didn't say anything and was about to go upstairs when Yang Lijuan called him.
"Sit down, let's talk. In a minute, I'll go to the police station to turn myself in."
Rong Sheng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Yang Lijuan.
He wasn't surprised; instead, he sneered.
"You know everything, don't you?"
"Yes!"
"You are so selfish and vicious! No wonder Rong Yan is so selfish and domineering, she takes after you."
"Don't you really want to know why she killed Qiao Chu? Because she was terrified!"
Rong Sheng stood there, looking at Yang Lijuan, without saying a word.
Now, he didn't know what to say.
He's really finished; his relationship with Zhou Kaiyun is beyond repair.
Everything is irreversible.
He has truly disgraced the Rong family.
He felt ashamed to face others.
You reap what you sow, ah... this is retribution!
Yang Lijuan stared intently at Rong Sheng and said, "No matter what Rong Yan becomes, please take good care of her. The doctor said that if she doesn't wake up within 15 days, she will become a vegetable. Even if she wakes up, the prognosis is uncertain, and the situation is very bad. This is also her punishment, and she brought it on herself!"
"..."
"You must also be curious about what happened back then, so I'll tell you now. Indeed, I know how Yao Yao got lost. That day, I wanted to visit Madam Shen, hoping to get on her good side and have her put in a good word for me with your parents so that I and Yan Yan could return to Haicheng sooner."
"..."
"I didn't expect that Madam Shen would completely ignore me."
"..."
“I was very angry at the time, and she kicked me out.”
"..."
“I didn’t go far. I sat nearby, hoping to find an opportunity to see Madam Shen. Later, she was probably busy cooking, and Yao Yao was left unattended. Yan Yan always thought the Shen family’s house was very beautiful. She wanted to live in a house like that. She even envied Yao Yao because Yao Yao had beautiful clothes to wear, lots of toys, and snacks.”
"..."
"Yan Yan wanted to call Yao Yao out to play. She whispered to Yao Yao from behind the fence and reached out her hand to her, asking her to come out."
"..."
"Living in a beautiful house, Yao Yao lacked playmates. She wanted to play with Yan Yan, so she moved a chair, opened the door, and came out to play. Just then, two women appeared. I only picked up Yan Yan, and Yan Yan and I watched helplessly as the two women took Yao Yao away."
"..."
"To prevent Yao Yao from screaming, the two women covered Yao Yao's nose with a handkerchief, and she seemed to fall asleep. I witnessed all of this, but I neither helped her nor asked for help. I carried Yan Yan and quietly left, pretending that I knew nothing, and even taught Yan Yan not to talk nonsense."
"..."
“I hate those two Zhou sisters, and I hate that Old Madam Shen wouldn’t help me. I think this is their retribution. Why is Yao Yao so loved by so many people since she was born? Even you treat her like your own daughter. What about my Yan Yan? Who will pity her?”
"..."
“I was thinking, if Yao Yao is gone, your heart will be with Yan Yan. As long as the Zhou family is finished and Zhou Kaiyun suffers a setback, we can go back to Haicheng, and I can also enter the Rong family.”
"..."
"Zhou Kaiyun went crazy in her search for her child. Old Madam Shen died of depression because of her constant self-blame. Zhou Kaiyun lost interest in her career and was depressed all day long. She even left Haicheng due to excessive injuries and went abroad to recuperate and heal her emotional wounds. My opportunity has also come. I can finally enter the Rong family rightfully, and you can also rightfully own the Rong Group."
"..."
“I have everything I wanted: a happy family and two children who are becoming more and more outstanding. If it weren’t for Qiao Chu, so many things wouldn’t have happened. In fact, we could have kept this secret and continued to be happy.”
"..."
"What goes around comes around. It's just such a coincidence that everyone met again in Haicheng, and their fates have changed. Yan Yan probably knows Qiao Chu's identity, and she's afraid that she'll recognize her. After all, it was Qiao Chu who invited her out to play back then, which is why she was kidnapped. Given all that happened in the past, both old and new grudges, the two of them still can't get over that ordeal."
"..."
"It's undeniable that after repeated setbacks, Yan Yan has become increasingly extreme. Because we love her and want to make it up to her, we've fostered her willfulness, arrogance, and selfishness. Your parents favored boys over girls and didn't let her return to the Rong family. She suffered a lot with me, endured a lot of scorn, and was scolded along with me. But it's not her fault; it's our fault!"
"..."
"If you had treated her better when she was little, loved her more, and stopped coveting other people's daughters, maybe she wouldn't have turned out this way. She hates her, she despises her, and she envies her, you know? Other girls have fathers who love them, why doesn't she?"
