“My older brother didn’t need him anymore at that time. He was able to live according to his own wishes. He started a company with some friends in Xia Country, and it grew bigger and bigger. He got married and had children, including Rong Xu. Meanwhile, my father and mother lived a life of their own abroad. It was five or six years after Rong Xu was born that I was born.”
Listening to this, Lu Qingyan couldn't understand why their relationship was so strained. Rong Qing and Rong Xu's fathers were so far apart in age; surely there couldn't be any major conflict between them.
And the various relationships involved were something Rong Xu had never told her about.
“My uncle never told me any of this. He never told me that he had relatives abroad.”
“It’s normal that he didn’t tell you. When he was just an adult, our parents’ plane crashed while he was coming to visit me, so he stopped having any contact with us,” Rong Qing said, as if he were accommodating a child throwing a tantrum. “But he’s also a capable man. He has the business left to him by my father, and he also has the company left to him by my older brother, which he has built up himself.”
Lu Qingyan nodded in agreement, saying, "Uncle is indeed very capable."
Lu Qingyan recalled the first time she met Rong Xu. He was just as stunning as he is now, and although he was smiling, there was a faint dark circle under his eyes.
What was Rong Xu thinking at that time? Why did he have to appear in such a remote place?
Yes, Rong Xu's mother is from that side. Lu Qingyan only found out this because the housekeeper once let it slip.
"Is he still being difficult?" Lu Qingyan asked. The plane crash was just an accident. If Rong Xu couldn't get over his own conscience, he probably would never restore relations with them and would continue to harbor resentment.
Perhaps he didn't harbor any resentment; he simply categorized these people as unrelated.
“It’s still the same as before, no difference.” Rong Qing said, “He seems to have some skills, but in fact he’s quite naive.”
Naïve? Probably.
Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go see your parents."
"Okay." Rong Qing smiled and kissed Lu Qingyan on the forehead. He said, "I thought that after this incident, you would be unwilling to marry me, or that you would make a scene and delay the marriage for a few years."
Lu Qingyan smiled and pushed him aside: "I won't regret what I've already decided. The person I want to marry is you, and it has nothing to do with your status."
Even if she were to meet Rong Xu again in the future, Lu Qingyan would not feel particularly awkward.
She had once liked him too, but he always treated it as a joke and never responded. Looking back on those days, it was just a joke, nothing to be ashamed of.
From now on, she would be spending all her days with Rong Qing. Lu Qingyan believed that he was not an unreasonable person who would quarrel with her over a little bit of bad rumors.
Rong Qing said, "I just want to marry you. What does it have to do with your status?"
The two smiled at each other and went home hand in hand.
Rong Qing's residence suddenly became warmer with the addition of Lu Qingyan. It was no longer a monotonous black and white space. He looked at the sky-blue curtains, the beige wardrobe, and even some colorful furniture without any resistance in his eyes. On the contrary, he was very interested.
