However, seeing Rong Xin's unchanged expression, Gu Qiang felt that he was overthinking things.
He reached out and pulled Rongxin into his arms, kissing her on the cheek: "Xinxin, I'm worried about you three going alone. I can't bear to leave you. Can I come with you, my wife?"
Rong Xin blushed as she was kissed, and shyly pushed Gu Qiang away: "It's all because your daughter fell down just now, and you didn't go to check on her immediately. Rong Bao is angry and won't let you go."
We'll only go once and be back quickly. The Rong family's place is far from the factory, and it'll be quite a rush for you to come and go. Plus, you're busy with your promotion to director. I feel sorry for you, so please don't go this time.
A day passed quickly, and I returned around the afternoon; there wasn't much time.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiang didn't make any more excuses: "Okay, then you must be careful on the road, and call back if there are any problems."
I know the Rong family's current situation. If you need any help, please let me know. Remember, no matter what, your husband is here for you!
"Don't worry, I'll let you know if anything happens when I get back," Rong Xin kissed Gu Qiang on the cheek. "Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll pack my things."
"Okay," Gu Qiang kissed Rong Xin again, then got up and walked outside.
When Gu Qiang saw Gu Rong at the door, he felt a little disgusted with her because of what Rong Xin had just said.
He's just a money-loser. He's treated him well these past few years, and he's already started to complain about him just because he hasn't hugged him even once.
But only for a moment. Thinking that the Rong family really liked this money-losing child, he smiled and picked up Gu Rong: "Rongbao, Daddy was busy just now and didn't have time to hug our Rongbao. Rongbao, don't be angry with Daddy, okay?"
Gu Rong is no longer a child; she can see all of Gu Qiang's disdain.
Although she wanted to tear off his mask, she had just tried, and neither writing it down nor speaking it out made any difference.
Right now, she couldn't show too much of a difference, so Gu Rong deliberately turned her head away and said, "Hmm, don't be angry, but you can't go to Grandma's house."
Shuohe ran to the room, sat on the bed, and stared at Rongxin as she packed her things.
Every time they went to the Rong family, Rong Xin, Gu Qiang, and Gu Xing would usually go and come back on the same day, staying for a maximum of two days.
Gu Rong would stay for ten days to half a month each time she went there, and she would always bring back a lot of things. Gu Qiang was happy that she stayed there.
So what Rongxin packed was her clothes, as well as the snacks, money, and tickets she had prepared for her.
After Rong Xin finished packing, seeing her daughter staring at her, she couldn't help but hug Gu Rong and kiss her: "I'm all packed. Mom will take you to Grandma's house."
"Um".
Rong Xin rode her bicycle, taking Gu Rong and Gu Xing to the Rong family home, one in front and one behind.
Gu Rong had previously thought that the Rong family was so wealthy that they must live in a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), but she didn't expect it to be just an ordinary courtyard.
However, upon further reflection, when the country was in trouble, the Rong family claimed to have donated all their assets. If they lived in an overly luxurious place, it would indeed arouse suspicion.
As soon as Gu Rong entered the courtyard, she was hugged by a kind old lady: "My darling, Grandma has missed you so much."
"Mom, you haven't seen each other for a day," Rongxin complained as she pushed her bicycle behind them.
Fan Qi glared at her daughter: "A day apart feels like three autumns. You don't understand my feelings for Rong Bao. Go inside. Your father, your brothers, and your sisters-in-law are all inside." She pointed to the room next door.
Rong Xin didn't say anything else, but simply placed Gu Xing next to Gu Rong: "You stay here with your sister, Mom has something to do and needs to go inside."
"Yes, Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of my little sister." Little Gu Xing already showed the potential to be a sister-obsessed brother. He walked to Gu Rong's side, keeping his eyes on his little sister to prevent his older cousins from getting close to her.
Gu Rong watched Rong Xin enter the house. She wanted to go and see her too, but Fan Qi held her tightly and wouldn't let go: "Baby, don't move. Mommy has something to do and will be back soon. Grandma will take you to eat something delicious."
As he spoke, he took Gu Rong and Gu Xing's hands and walked towards the house on the other side.
Meanwhile, Rongxin, who had just entered the house, saw everyone in the family there: "Dad, brother, sister-in-law."
"Sitting down is fine since you're here," Rong Liancheng glanced at his youngest daughter, couldn't help but sigh, waved for the others to leave, and then asked, "Are you sure you don't want to leave with us?"
After pondering for a moment, Rong Xin slowly said, "Dad, the sea is so dangerous. Rong Bao and Xiao Xing are still so young. Why don't you stay too? It's too dangerous."
Seeing that his daughter was determined not to go back, Rong Liancheng stopped trying to persuade her: "You have to leave. They won't leave any survivors for the Rong family over there. If you don't leave, I will sever ties with you in the newspaper, but I will also leave you some things."
The things I left behind are for Rong Bao and Xiao Xing. Don't tell Gu Qiang about these things. They are the foundation of our Rong family. I don't want them to fall into the hands of outsiders. Otherwise, I will no longer acknowledge you as my daughter.
Although she didn't know why her father disliked Gu Qiang so much, she had been taught by her family since childhood to put the Rong family first. Even though she liked Gu Qiang, there were some things she hadn't told him: "Dad, don't worry, I definitely won't tell him."
Rong Liancheng was still somewhat worried about his youngest daughter, but as his ancestors had said, the future of the family depended entirely on his daughter and granddaughter, so he had no choice.
He sighed and said, "It's good that you know. And did you find what I asked you to find?"
Hearing her father's words, Rong Xin shook her head: "Dad, those things have been lost for so many years, Rong Bao has never seen those things before, how could she have them?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Rong Liancheng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that fate was against the Rong family: "Alright, I understand. Go out and let your brother and the others in."
Rong Liancheng rubbed his temples, reflecting on all the ways they had tried over the years to bring a glimmer of hope to the Rong family, donating most of their assets, yet still...
Looking at her three sons who had come in, she continued to think of ways to ensure the continuation of the family line.
When Rongxin went next door and looked at her well-behaved daughter, she couldn't help but recall her father's words.
Walking over to Gu Rong, Rong Xin squatted down and asked, "Rongbao, let me ask you, have you seen two jade pendants? You mean the kind that can be put together and become one?"
Hearing Rong Xin's words, for some reason, the jade pendant that opened the cave back then flashed into Gu Rong's mind.
But she had put the jade pendant into her spatial storage back then, and now that A-Xi is gone, the spatial storage is also gone. Even if she wanted to take it out, it would be impossible.
However, since Rong Xin asked this question, these two jade pendants might be related to her.
