Just as Bai Hao said, Chuchu actually met Rong Lin's mother in this life at the door of the Rong family mansion.
At that moment, Chuchu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, because Mrs. Rong looked exactly like Ren Jinting, as if they were carved from the same mold.
This sudden resemblance made Chu Chu sigh at the trick of fate. It was truly a damned fate that allowed two people so similar to meet in different time and space, with different identities.
Chuchu took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and greeted Mrs. Rong with a smile: "Hello, Auntie, I'm here to see Rong Lin." Although she was a little nervous, Chuchu tried her best to remain polite and calm.
However, Madam Rong's mood did not seem to be very high. Her eyes were cold, but her tone was quite calm: "Shouldn't you call me mom instead? Since you are already married to Rong Lin, calling me auntie doesn't seem appropriate, right?"
Chu Chu was slightly stunned, then reacted and quickly changed her words: "Okay, Mom."
Madam Rong didn't say anything more, but walked in silently. Chu Chu followed closely behind her, fearing that she would do something rude.
However, she didn't seem to care about my presence, and only urged Chu Chu from time to time: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you catch up? Are you waiting for Rong Lin to be beaten to death?"
Hearing her words, Chu Chu quickly quickened her pace and trotted to catch up. Along the way, we walked very fast, with almost no time to stop and breathe.
As soon as I entered the living room, I was greeted by a shocking scene. Rong Lin was being whipped by his grandfather, while the people around him had different expressions: some were laughing at the joke, some were watching indifferently, and others were showing sympathy.
Seeing Rong Lin's buttocks were broken into pieces, Chu Chu could no longer bear it and immediately rushed forward, desperately protecting him: "Don't hit him! Do you know who you hit? You beat him up, how are you going to explain to the heavens... and his future? You will regret it!"
Before Chu Chu could finish her words, Old Man Rong interrupted me with gritted teeth: "Who are you? How did you get in? Get out of the way! Someone, pull this woman away!"
Chuchu hugged Rong Lin tightly, refusing to let go: "No! You can't hit him! He and I are married, he is my husband. I have to protect him."
Although the current situation made Chuchu feel a little vulnerable, she still tried her best to protect Rong Lin.
At this time, Mrs. Rong finally spoke: "Dad, I brought her in. If she hadn't come in, were you going to beat Rong Lin to death? Rong Lin is my son, I can't just ignore him!"
After hearing her words, Old Master Rong angrily threw down the whip. His eyes were filled with anger and helplessness, as if he was also tired of the family disputes.
Chuchu took the opportunity to help Rong Lin stand up and asked about his condition in a low voice: "How are you? Do you want to try to faint now? I'll take you to the hospital."
However, Rong Lin whispered to me, "It's no use. I have a family doctor at home. I can't go to the hospital today."
Hearing his words, Chu Chu couldn't help but feel helpless. Seeing him injured, my voice couldn't help but get louder: "But that's not what you said when you slept with me! You said then that you weren't some powerless rich kid. How come you can't even go to the hospital now?"
Mr. Rong's fury once again flared within the home. His voice, brimming with undeniable authority, shook the entire house. "How dare you! The elders are speaking here, and you two juniors are whispering over there. How disrespectful!" His eyes were sharp as a knife, as if he could see through the two men before him.
Rong Lin stood there, his expression unwavering, showing no sign of fear at the old man's rage. He calmly explained, "Grandpa, my wife was just concerned about me and asked if I needed to go to the hospital. She's new to our family and doesn't quite understand the rules here yet, so please forgive her."
Chuchu stood beside Rong Lin, her expression focused and serious. She nodded vigorously, trying to calm Old Man Rong's anger. "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Rong Lin is right. I really don't understand the rules here. I know you may have many doubts about our marriage, but please believe me, I am only marrying Rong Lin temporarily. He is so outstanding, and after I leave, he will find any woman he wants. But during this time, I will love him and take care of him wholeheartedly."
The Rong family looked at each other in astonishment after hearing Chuchu's "weird" remarks. In their opinion, Chuchu was simply talking nonsense. How could a bride talk about her marriage like that?
But Chuchu didn't care about their reactions. She had only one goal in mind: to protect Rong Lin and get through this disaster with him.
She added, "Grandpa, now that we've gotten our marriage certificate, divorce isn't that easy. If we really want to divorce, I'll have to give him half of his property, and I'm sure you won't agree. Besides, it's not a good idea to divorce right after we got married, right? At least give us some time to observe me and see if I'm really not suitable for Rong Lin."
Chu Chu paused and took a deep breath, as if the next words were difficult to say. But she still mustered up the courage to continue, "Of course, I know that what you care about most is my short marriage with Han Nanze. But please rest assured, nothing happened between Han Nanze and me. Rong Lin can prove this."
Rong Lin nodded seriously when he heard this, as if to testify to Chu Chu's words. His attitude made the Rong family even more confused. They didn't understand why this seemingly gentle man would stand on the side of this "weird" woman.
Old Master Rong was so angry that his beard stood up. He glared at Chu Chu, pointed his finger at her, and cursed in a trembling voice: "Shameless! You have absolutely no shame!"
Chuchu acted as if she hadn't heard him and continued calmly, "Grandpa, please listen to me. After three years, if you, Mom, and the relatives still don't like me, then I will take the initiative to leave. I know a girl's youth is precious, and I'm already 27 years old. But in these three years, I will do my best to do what a wife should do. I also hope you can give me a chance to prove my worth."
Rong Lin also spoke at this time, his voice firm and powerful: "Grandpa, I'm already 30 years old, and it's time for me to get married. Besides, we also plan to move out and live on our own. Now, we'll take our leave."
Mr. Rong wanted to continue cursing, but Rong Lin's mother couldn't stand it anymore. She shouted, "Get out of here, both of you! Don't come to the old house again without permission!"
Chuchu was startled by Ronglin's mother's scolding, and she subconsciously hid behind Ronglin. Ronglin glanced at Chuchu, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes. But he quickly returned to his indifferent expression, looked at his mother and said, "Mom, we were going to move out anyway. Now, we're leaving first."
After saying that, Rong Lin took Chu Chu's hand and left the Rong family's old house without looking back.
