Rong Junhao snatched the phone from Song Fei's hand. The photo on the screen was so dazzling that he almost squinted his eyes - it was Rong Lin and Chu Chu, two smiling faces leaning against each other, with the solemn oath-taking platform of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the background and a glaringly bright red marriage certificate next to them.
His fingers slid across the screen unconsciously, as if trying to confirm that this was just a prank, but every photo and every detail told him mercilessly that it was all real.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Rong Junhao's voice became sharp due to shock. He suddenly looked up at Song Fei, his eyes full of disbelief, "Chu Chu...how could she marry my seventh uncle? She has always liked only me."
Song Fei's face was troubled. He was well aware of the entanglement between Rong Junhao and Chu Chu, but at this moment, any comfort seemed pale and powerless. "Mr. Rong, please calm down. This news really just broke. The whole internet is going crazy. Moreover, it is said that the wedding will be next week, and the venue will be the Rong family's old house."
"Wedding? Next week?" Rong Junhao repeated these words, as if each syllable was weighing heavily on his heart, shattering his mind. He suddenly stood up, and the chair tilted backward due to the uneven force, making a loud "clang" that echoed in the empty office.
"No, I want to go find her and ask her clearly!" Rong Junhao said as he strode towards the door. Song Fei hurriedly followed and tried to dissuade him, "Mr. Rong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go now. After all..."
"Suitable? What do you mean by suitable or not! She is mine, how could she marry someone else without saying a word? And he is my seventh uncle! This is simply ridiculous!" Rong Junhao's voice trembled with anger. He pushed open the door and strode towards the parking lot, leaving Song Fei smiling bitterly in his place, secretly praying in his heart that this storm would be settled as soon as possible.
Driving towards the Rong family mansion, Rong Junhao's mind replayed every moment with Chuchu. From the heartbeat of their first encounter, to the subsequent ambiguity, to the recent cold war stemming from a misunderstanding, every scene cut through his heart like a sharp blade. He couldn't understand why Chuchu would choose Rong Lin, the man with the perpetually stern expression, the "ten thousand year old glacier" who seemed uninterested in anything in the world.
Arriving at the Rong family's old house, the sun was setting, and the golden afterglow cast a golden glow on the ancient buildings, adding a touch of warmth and solemnity to the manor. However, for Rong Junhao, all this beauty was dimmed by Chuchu's choice.
He barged into Rong Lin's study without announcing anything. There, Rong Lin was sitting at his desk, flipping through documents with his usual indifferent smile on his face. Seeing Rong Junhao's intrusion in such an unruly manner, Rong Lin frowned slightly, but then regained his composure.
Rong Lin glanced at Rong Junhao without saying a word.
Rong Junhao stood there, his face filled with anger and resentment. His eyes were fixed on Rong Lin's, as if they were about to spit fire. His voice trembled slightly with emotion. "Seventh Uncle, why on earth did you marry Chuchu? Don't you know that she...she used to be my girlfriend?"
Hearing this, Rong Lin frowned slightly and interrupted Rong Junhao with a hint of obvious displeasure in his tone: "What do I know? I only know that Chuchu is a good girl, and we are married now. Do you have any objection?"
Rong Junhao's expression became even uglier, and he practically roared, "But, she was clearly my girlfriend before! We haven't officially broken up yet, so why did you marry her? Uncle Qi, you have to give me an explanation. Tell me why you did this!"
Rong Lin sneered, his eyes turning cold and deep. "I thought that big farce you had a few days ago was already considered a breakup. After all, you cheated first, and she agreed to get married with me. Isn't that the best proof? If you insist on me giving a reason, it's that I like her, and I have liked her for a very long time."
When Rong Junhao heard this, he was furious: "But she doesn't love you! She has loved me for ten years, how could she fall in love with you just because of such a thing? Uncle Qi, wake up, she only married you for your money!"
Rong Lin's eyes were dark and unclear. He snorted lightly, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm: "So what? I'm willing to give her all my property. Anyway, we're married now, so it's too late for you to regret it."
A flicker of reluctance and despair flashed across Rong Junhao's face, but he still said without giving up: "No, I don't believe it! I'm going to go find Chuchu and explain it clearly. She was just confused for a moment. As long as I say a few nice words, she will definitely come back to me!"
Rong Lin couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Rong Junhao's expression. He picked up his phone and said with a half-smile, "Well, let's confront each other right now and see who Chuchu is willing to go with."
As he spoke, Rong Lin dialed Chu Chu's video call. The call was quickly connected, and Rong Lin saw Chu Chu wearing comfortable pajamas, sitting on the sofa in the living room, concentrating on reading a book. He couldn't help but smile gently: "Madam, a friend you used to know wants to see you. Do you have time?"
Chu Chu looked up at Rong Lin, her voice full of tenderness and dependence: "You help me decide, if you say let me see him, I will see him."
Rong Lin heard this and a smug smile appeared on his lips. He switched the video call to Rong Junhao's face: "It's Ah Hao who wants to see you, Chuchu."
As soon as Chu Chu saw Rong Junhao, her face turned cold. She quickly turned the camera away without saying a word, as if she didn't want to look at Rong Junhao any more.
