Upon hearing this, the old man's expression softened slightly, but he still said in a bad mood, "It's good that you're back! Stop wasting time on me. Find me a decent wife and let me hold my grandson. That's the real thing!"
Rong Lin smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about how to read the important information that Bai Hao had just sent him, and how to find an excuse to escape from this slightly depressing occasion.
Looking around, almost all of the Rong family members were there, even the nephew Rong Junhao, whose pornographic video was exposed last night, was there. Although the situation had calmed down a lot, there was still an awkward and tense atmosphere in the air.
Rong Lin's eyes darted through the crowd, finally settling on Rong Junhao. A sneer curled his lips as he asked, "Are you going to break off your engagement with the Chu family? Are you now planning on marrying that adopted daughter, Chu Yuan?"
Rong Junhao didn't expect Rong Lin to know everything about this. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Seventh Uncle, nothing can be hidden from you... I was framed by that bitch Chu Chu. Actually, the one I really like is Chu Yuan, so I want to break off my engagement with Chu Chu and marry Chu Yuan."
When Rong Lin heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He said rudely, "Second brother has failed in teaching you this. You cheated first, then betrayed others. Do you still think you're right? You want to marry Chu Yuan, but please don't insult Chu Chu, the real jewel of the Chu family."
Rong Junhao tried to argue, but Rong Lin glared back at him. Rong Lin continued, "I'm 30 and still unmarried, so why are you in such a hurry at 25? Junzhe's 28 and still unmarried. You're not allowed to get married before Junzhe and I get married. Don't you understand the principle of respecting elders? You've studied for so many years, and what have you learned?"
Rong Junhao was speechless after being scolded. He looked at his father Rong Yi as if asking for help.
Although Rong Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with Rong Lin's tough attitude, he also knew that what Rong Lin said made sense. He glanced at the old man, who nodded and said, "Seventh Brother is right. His uncle is not married yet, so why are you so anxious? You really brought shame to the Rong family with what happened last night."
Rong Junhao looked regretful, but had nothing to say.
Rong Lin then looked at his father Rong Yi and said, "In that case, let's divide the family. Dad, what do you say? You've already made a will, so let's distribute it according to what you've allocated in advance."
"Dividing the family?" Rong's father's face darkened when he heard this. He glared at Rong Lin and said, "Seventh Brother, come up with me to the study."
Rong Lin knew that his father wanted to discuss this matter in private, so he nodded and followed Rong Yi upstairs.
In the study, Rong's father looked at Rong Lin seriously and said, "Seventh Brother, why are you so angry? Can you just talk about dividing the family?"
Rong Lin chuckled and said, "Dad, don't be angry. I just feel that this family is no longer interesting. Everyone has ulterior motives and is secretly calculating against others. It's better to break up a family like this."
Rong's father sighed and said, "I know you're upset, but dividing the family is no small matter. Our Rong family's century-old foundation cannot be broken up because of such a small matter."
Rong Lin said, "Dad, I understand what you mean. Instead of torturing each other here, it's better to separate early and pursue our own futures."
Father Rong was silent in the study for a while, as if weighing something. Finally, he broke the silence and said, "Nonsense! You are not allowed to divide the family. This matter cannot be divided for the time being. As long as I am alive, this family cannot be broken up!"
Hearing this, Rong Lin nodded gently, a look of helplessness and compromise in his eyes. "I was just impulsive and said that casually. Dad, please don't take it to heart."
Rong Lin didn't insist because he knew exactly how much his elderly yet dignified father meant to him. Records indicate that Rong's father was 48 when he fathered Rong Lin. The joy and cherishment of having a son in his old age gave Rong Lin a special place in the family. Now, Rong's father was 78, and his eldest son was 55. The entire family was like a towering tree, its roots entwined and intertwined, unable to be easily divided.
After coming out of the study, Rong Lin did not stay for long. He understood that silence at this moment was more powerful than any words.
He walked straight to the parking lot, got into the luxury car, and casually dialed Chu Chu's number. Chu Chu's voice on the other end of the phone was slightly hesitant: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Rong Lin was slightly startled. Didn't she have her phone number saved? A playful smile played on his lips, his eyes glancing at the priceless watch on his wrist. He teased, "Miss Chu, I did you a big favor last night. So, you're not going to treat me to a meal to express your gratitude? It's just that I haven't had dinner yet."
Chuchu held the phone, her brow furrowed, a wave of doubt rising in her heart. This living devil actually asked her to treat him? He was a billionaire, and he still needed a meal? But out of courtesy, she tried to refuse. "Mr. Rong, I'll definitely treat you another day. I have something to deal with today, so I can't spare the time..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Rong Lin rudely: "My time is very precious. If you waste a minute of my time here, many projects may be ruined because of it. Miss Chu, you shouldn't be so stingy, right?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but more of it was unquestionable strength.
Chuchu touched the still-aching wound on her forehead. It was the wound her biological father had hit her with a teacup the moment she got home. She was having a terrible headache, and going out in such a state would have been embarrassing. But thinking of Rong Lin's status and influence, she gritted her teeth and decided to agree. "Um...Mr. Rong, tell me a place, and I'll be there right now."
