Ren Yaoqi said, "I heard that Old Master Ren was seriously ill, and the Ren family sent someone to ask my father to return home. My sister and I came back to see him."
Ren Shimin nodded, not knowing what he was thinking about. He sighed, then lost in thought while holding the tea bowl handed to him by Li.
Seeing Ren Shimin like this, several people remained silent.
Speaking of which, among those present, Li and Ren Yaohua had no feelings for Old Master Ren, let alone Ren Yaoqi. And for Ren Shimin, Old Master Ren was his father after all, and now that Old Master Ren was about to die, Ren Shimin was definitely not in a good mood.
Ren Yaohua has always been outspoken. Seeing Ren Shimin like this, she couldn't help but ask, "Father, are you planning to go back to the Ren family? I mean, back to the Ren clan."
Ren Shimin frowned when he heard this and glanced at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi quickly said, "My sister, mother, and I were just discussing this matter. We meant that this kind of important matter should be decided by our father, and we all listen to him."
Ren Yaohua frowned and glanced at Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi shook her head slightly and asked Ren Shimin, "What does father mean?"
Ren Shimin was silent for a moment, then said, "Once words are spoken, they are like spilled water. There's no way to take them back. I've already left the Ren clan, and I won't be going back."
Both Mrs. Li and Nanny Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment, then said to Ren Shimin, "Father has a point. However, when you and Mother return to the Ren family this time, they will definitely try every possible means to get you to compromise, especially sending you to Old Master Ren. Plus, Old Madam Ren... there will definitely be many people trying to persuade Father. It's really not the right time to confront the Ren family head-on. Father only needs to give an ambiguous answer, and don't reject them too completely. It won't be too late to discuss everything after the New Year."
Ren Yaoqi was afraid that Ren Shimin would become stubborn, so she refused without hesitation from the beginning, which would only allow the Ren family to find ways to force Ren Shimin to submit. The timing of Old Master Ren's death was very disadvantageous to Ren Shimin, and the Ren family always knew how to seize and exploit opportunities.
Ren Shimin glanced at Ren Yaoqi. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Yeah, I understand."
After Ren Yaoqi finished explaining everything to his father and mother, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what happened in the future, he had to let Old Master Ren pass away peacefully.
Seeing that Ren Shimin was in a bad mood, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua didn't stay at her parents' home for long. After talking for a while, they left together. Ren Shimin and Li were still busy returning to Baihe Town.
When the two sisters left their parents' home together, Ren Yaohua seemed a little worried. "I always feel that this matter will cause some trouble. After all, the Ren family has raised me for many years. Logically, I shouldn't be so cold-hearted. But after going through so many things, I have gradually understood many things that I didn't understand before. The Ren family... it's better not to go back if I can."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and asked Ren Yaohua, "Sister, do you hate the Ren family?"
Ren Yaohua thought about it seriously, but shook her head. "As I said just now. No matter what, the Ren family has raised me for many years. I don't hate them. It's just... we don't share the same ideals."
Ren Yaoqi sighed, then said softly, "I hated it before, very much."
Ren Yaohua was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Ren Yaoqi, not knowing how to respond, because she could tell that the hatred in Ren Yaoqi's mouth was not just talk, Ren Yaoqi really hated the Ren family.
