Chapter 383
As for Quan Jia, he was a bit unlucky because he recklessly took Rong Rong to participate in a variety show.
During that time, he refused to answer anyone's calls, but as soon as he returned, he received 'care' from everyone in the Quan family.
However, after showing 'care', everyone in the Quan family began to seriously consider formally introducing Rong Rong to everyone.
Now, everyone is sitting together discussing what excuse to use to introduce Rongrong.
"When Rongrong came of age, I suggested that we take the opportunity to introduce her to everyone, but you all disagreed and didn't want Rongrong to be disturbed. You see, this day was bound to come sooner or later."
What other reason could we possibly have? What reason could be more appropriate or more solemn than a coming-of-age ceremony?
Aunt Quan crossed her arms. Heaven knows how eager she was to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Rong Rong.
As a result, their family held a simple ceremony, which was really unfair to Rong Rong.
Quan's mother also felt a little regretful. Over the years, she had basically made the decisions regarding Rong Rong's affairs, and she had rejected her aunt's suggestion back then.
Mrs. Quan sighed. Seeing this, Rong Rong stood up and sat down next to Mrs. Quan, hugging her arm and shaking it gently. "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine with anything, as long as I'm with everyone."
With pity, Quan's mother pulled Rong Rong into her arms and secretly glared at Quan Yu.
It's all her fault for having such a brat. Otherwise, Rong Rong would have called her "Mom" long ago. Why would she have called her "Auntie" for so many years?
Moreover, that brat is really incompetent. I wonder how long she'll have to wait before she hears Rong Rong call her "Mom".
Mother Quan shook her head regretfully, "How about we wait until Rong Rong's birthday..."
"How about we have an engagement party?"
When Quan's mother and Rong Rong spoke at the same time, the entire living room fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared at Rong Rong in shock and disbelief. Rong Rong, however, wore an innocent smile and leaned obediently against Quan's mother, her big eyes blinking as she looked at everyone.
Quan Yu's heart tightened, he held his breath, and his deep black eyes met Rong Rong's gaze.
Only after seeing the cunning look in Rong Rong's eyes did he slowly exhale, leaving only the sound of his heart pounding wildly in his ears.
Everyone quickly came to their senses and rushed to ask questions.
"What's going on? Rong Rong is getting engaged? To whom?"
"Rongrong is in love? How come Auntie didn't know?"
"Who is it? Which brat? You didn't protect your sister well and someone took advantage of the situation?" Aunt Quan kicked Quan Jia's leg angrily.
Quan Jia didn't have time to refute, but looked at Rong Rong nervously. How could Rong Rong get engaged so easily? Who was she engaged to?
Anyway, Quan Jia was certain it wouldn't be with him.
Thinking of this, Quan Jia felt extremely agitated, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
Tai Xiao was also very annoyed. He was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He was thinking about how to teach her a lesson. "Rong Rong, who are you getting engaged to? Don't be fooled! All the men outside are liars!"
Tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice.
Quan Jin sat silently to the side the whole time, only he knew how sad he was inside.
He even envied Quan Jia and Tai Xiao; in this family, he and Rong Rong had the least contact.
Because of the age difference and their different social statuses, Rongrong always treated her older brother with respect and distance.
Everyone reacted strongly, repeatedly questioning Rong Rong, while Quan Yu seemed unusually quiet, or rather, calm.
Quan Jia glanced at Quan Yu, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
Sure enough, the next second, Rong Rong's sweet voice cheerfully said, "It's my brother's engagement party!"
"Brother! Kwon Yu!"
Only at this moment did Quan Yu finally feel completely at ease.
After a gasp of surprise, the Quan family erupted into a lively atmosphere, especially Quan's mother, who immediately hugged her beloved daughter Rongrong and kept calling her name.
Her dream has finally come true. Well, she won't scold the brat for being useless anymore.
Because this banquet was indeed of great importance, Mother Quan decided to organize it properly and set the date for a later date.
Firstly, to have ample time to prepare, and secondly, to deliberately delay so that her brat would get anxious.
They gave her such a big surprise without saying a word, and made her worry for so long. Now it's finally her turn to vent her anger.
From that day forward, it seemed everyone had reached a consensus: to monopolize Rong Rong's time and not give Quan Yu any chance to get close to her.
Quan Yu was initially a little irritated, but he gradually calmed down. How could someone destroy the feelings, understanding, and trust he had built up with Rong Rong over the years in just a few days?
Quan Yu understood perfectly well that these people were just jealous of him and were in a state of impotent rage, especially the three Quan brothers.
Time slips away quietly.
Yangchang Village is a remote mountain village.
As young people leave to work in other cities or settle in big cities, only middle-aged people and elderly people remain in this mountain village.
The entire mountain village was gloomy and quiet, so quiet that it was somewhat boring.
But on this day, the tranquility of the mountain village was broken, because the arrival of Rong Ying and Rong Cheng suddenly brought the entire small mountain village to life.
Rong Ying brought Rong Cheng along under the pretext of traveling.
She pretended to be traveling aimlessly, going wherever the road took her, and secretly brought Rong Cheng to Yangchang Village.
Rong Cheng, who completely trusts his sister, has no idea where they are. Before they set off, they agreed that he would listen to Rong Ying in everything. He is just a tool to accompany and protect Rong Ying.
Rong Ying led the way, weaving through the mountain village paths.
Yangchang Village is not only surrounded by mountains, but it also lacks proper cement roads; all the roads are dirt roads, full of potholes and uneven surfaces.
Once it rains, this dirt road turns into mud pits, making it impossible to walk on.
Fortunately, the weather is nice now, and although the dirt road is uneven, it is still walkable.
Rong Cheng carried a large suitcase behind them, which contained the luggage of both of them.
Rong Ying looked around as she led the way, appearing curious as if she were a newcomer.
In fact, Rong Ying was very familiar with this place; it was where she had lived for more than a decade.
The entire mountain village was exactly as she remembered it.
Finally, she saw the door of her adoptive father's house from her previous life, the house of the Crippled Li.
It was the same familiar rusty iron gate.
She walked straight up and knocked, then turned to Rong Cheng and said, "Brother, shall we stay here?"
Rong Cheng frowned as he looked at the door. They had passed by many houses along the way, and judging from the door, the family was not well-off. They probably wouldn't have an easy time living here.
"Yingying, you should think about it some more."
Rong Cheng tried to dissuade her, but Rong Ying ignored him and continued knocking on the door.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to know if Li the Cripple had a sister. Even if Rong Cheng had to meet her and bring her home, she just wanted an answer!
Soon, with a creak, the door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face appeared behind it.
The other person stared at Rong Ying with surprise, his lecherous eyes darting back and forth between Rong Ying's chest and legs.
Rong Ying's pretty face darkened, and then turned pale.
She had seen too many people with that kind of look in their eyes and in that kind of person in her past life in the mountain village.
Rong Ying didn't speak; she didn't recognize the man in front of her.
The man wore a drooling smile, revealing a set of black and yellow teeth. The stench from his mouth was nauseating. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Rong Cheng arrived at Rong Ying's side just in time.
Upon seeing that Rong Cheng was tall and imposing, the other party immediately shut up and left quickly, without even closing the door.
