Chapter 234: Chapter 229: Taking Good Care of Young Master Ying for the Rest of His Life (Part 2)
But Mr. Rong was different.
Since Rong Jun passed away, Fang Jingyi devoted all her attention to Rong Sinan, leaving Rong Mochen directly to Mr. Rong.
In Rong Mochen’s heart, Mr. Rong was no less important than Jin Jiancheng was to Jin Jumo back then.
It’s often said that parents’ hearts are full of compassion, and sometimes children, in order to fulfill their elders’ wishes, aren’t they the same?
"Boss Rong, after all, the old man is quite advanced in age. Should we consider ways to hide the annulment of the marriage from him?" Gu Yan said.
Rong Mochen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "No need. It can’t be hidden."
"Indeed."
Gu Yan frowned, "Since Liang Yi and Gu Lingyi know you have thoughts of annulling the engagement, they certainly won’t sit idly by. Perhaps the two old stubborns from the Fang Family already know about this. If they know, they’ll definitely try to tell the old man. Hiding it won’t be of any use."
As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, the phone on the bedside table began to ring.
Gu Yan went over, and when he reached for the phone, he jumped back in surprise, quickly retracting his hand, and looked anxiously at Rong Mochen, "Boss Rong, it’s the old man, what do we do?"
The old man calling at this time certainly means he’s already aware of Rong Mochen wanting to annul the marriage with the Gu Family and is calling to question it!
Rong Mochen pressed his lips together, walked over, picked up the phone, and answered it.
"Gu Yan, get that unfilial grandson Rong Mochen to pick up the phone immediately!"
As soon as the call connected, the strong voice of Rong Zhengfeng came through.
Gu Yan, standing close by, heard it loud and clear.
From the old man’s stern tone, it was obvious he knew!
Rong Mochen’s expression remained unchanged, his tone calm and composed, "I’m listening."
"..."
The other side was momentarily stunned, then Gu Yan heard the sound of a fist hitting the table, followed by Rong Zhengfeng’s furious voice, "Unfilial grandson, unfilial grandson, if you dare annul the marriage with the Gu Family, then get out of the Rong Family immediately. I, Rong Zhengfeng, have no place for such an unfaithful, disloyal, unrighteous descendant!"
Even though Gu Yan had nothing to do with this, his own heart tightened while Rong Mochen acted as if it was nothing.
After Rong Zhengfeng finished speaking, Rong Mochen casually replied, "Are you sure?"
"I’m certain, I’m absolutely certain! If you have the guts to annul the marriage, I have the fortitude to sever our grandfather-grandson relationship! Go live on your own!" Rong Zhengfeng yelled, incensed.
Rong Mochen nodded, "Fine."
As soon as the word "fine" was said, Rong Mochen hung up the phone!
Gu Yan, "..." was speechless for a moment!
A minute later, the number from the Rong Family’s old residence appeared on the phone screen again.
Gu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen answered the phone.
"Second Young Master, it’s me." It was Li Li calling.
Rong Mochen was not surprised at all, "Uncle Li."
Li Li’s voice was slightly awkward, he coughed twice, and said, "The old man asked me to tell you, don’t think he’s joking with you. If you really dare to do it, he’ll act as if you aren’t his grandson from now on."
Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow, "Uncle Li, please tell Mr. Rong, the annulment of this engagement is definite."
Rong Mochen directly changed "grandpa" to "Mr. Rong."
Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mr. Rong.
"Go ahead, cancel it. Mr. Rong is so great, very great indeed!"
Rong Zhengfeng’s voice came through, hot and furious.
Gu Yan, "..."
Rong Mochen curled his lips slightly and ended the call.
Gu Yan scratched his ear, shook his head with a gasp, looking at Rong Mochen, "Boss Rong, aren’t you afraid you might anger the old man into a hospital? If he ends up in the hospital this time, it would definitely be for real!"
Rong Mochen glanced at Gu Yan, stepped towards the door, "Immediately notify the media, annul the engagement!"
"..." It’s come to this, and still cancel? Boss Rong, what are you thinking? Do you really want to anger the old man to death?
Hospital.
Ying Jingyao sat on the hospital bed, despite the injury on his arm making him look somewhat embarrassed, he still exuded an elegant and cultured demeanor.
Compared to the man whose aura was cold and oppressive, appearing in his ward, he didn’t seem the least bit flustered or at a disadvantage.
"Mr. Rong suddenly coming to the hospital to find me, it’s not to visit me, is it?" Ying Jingyao’s voice was cold, yet graceful on his face.
Rong Mochen sat in the chair beside his bed, one long leg crossed over the other, his dark eyes glanced over at Ying Jingyao’s injured right hand, his lips forming a cold smirk, "I’ve heard Ying Young Master’s injury is severe, perhaps facing disability, is it?"
"..."
Ying Jingyao’s lips twitched slightly, his gaze narrowing as he smiled, "Mr. Rong’s rejoicing in others’ misfortune?"
"I don’t have the time for that," Rong Mochen said indifferently.
Both men’s faces were as calm as a gentle breeze, yet their words carried hidden blades.
"Whether I’m disabled isn’t a concern for me, but it would be unfair for Momo to have to take care of a disabled person like me for the rest of my life." Ying Jingyao said with a smile.
Rong Mochen lowered his dark lashes, his voice eerie, "Indeed, even if Ying Young Master becomes disabled, there’s still me and Little Mo. Little Mo and I will take good care of Young Master Ying for the rest of his life."
"..." Ying Jingyao’s eye corners twitched once more.
Whoever said the CEO of Rong Family was cold and terse!? He seemed quite eloquent!
Rong Mochen lifted his gaze, looking at Ying Jingyao’s tense face, his tone unchanged, "Young Master Ying is a benefactor to Little Mo, and naturally to me as well.
Don’t worry, Young Master Ying, Little Mo, and I will not shirk responsibility, and will certainly be responsible for Young Master Ying’s life henceforth."
Ying Jingyao’s face finally darkened, and a few streaks of blood appeared in Qing Tong’s eyes. He lightly bit his teeth, staring at Rong Mochen, who always had a look of absolute confidence, and snorted coldly, "Mr. Rong, there’s no need for you to frivorously talk about me and Little Mo. You and I both know, what Momo least wants is to be entangled with you."
"You’re not her, how do you know she doesn’t want or care?" Rong Mochen sneered lightly.
"If Momo wanted to, Mr. Rong, why would you come here to deliberately provoke me? Acting the hero with words!" Ying Jingyao sneered back.
Rong Mochen stared at him, slowly, his dark eyes brushed with a hint of smile, "I understand Young Master Ying’s current mood. Crippled, it’s inevitable to have wild thoughts."
Ying Jingyao’s lips lowered slightly, his voice tense, "Mr. Rong, speaking about being crippled with every other sentence, are you trying to flaunt something? Or is there something you’re trying to remind me of?"
"Young Master Ying, you’re overthinking it." Rong Mochen tugged at his lips lightly. "It’s unfortunate that Young Master Ying became disabled saving our Little Mo, I truly regret it."
"Humph." Ying Jingyao’s face was stern, not bothering to exchange pleasantries with him any longer, he said coldly, "Mr. Rong, just say it directly, the purpose of your visit this time."
Rong Mochen looked at Ying Jingyao, the curve of his lips gradually tightened, his voice turning cold, "I’ve come to let Young Master Ying know, that all those who participated in separating me and Little Mo four years ago, leading to our unjust separation for so long, I will take account of each and every one of them, slowly!"
Ying Jingyao’s eyes slightly narrowed, not a trace of emotion on his face, coldly staring at Rong Mochen.
The two men held a silent standoff.
For quite a while.
Rong Mochen chuckled, unhurriedly rising from the chair, his dark eyes glanced at Ying Jingyao’s injured right arm, and said, "Young Master Ying, make sure to take care of your injury well, who knows, maybe someday it’ll be as if you were never injured at all!"
Ying Jingyao’s expression wavered slightly.
Rong Mochen squinted his eyes and left the ward.
Ying Jingyao watched Rong Mochen’s cold and stern back, squinting his eyes, lost in thought!
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Jin Jumo woke up to find herself lying on the hotel’s large bed, her scalp tingling.
Suddenly sitting up from the bed, Jin Jumo immediately looked at her body under the blanket. Seeing no strange marks, the panic in her heart slightly subsided.
Taking a few deep breaths, Jin Jumo glanced around the room, seeing no sign of a certain someone.
Biting her lower lip, Jin Jumo wrapped the blanket around herself, about to get out of bed.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from outside.
Jin Jumo’s eyes narrowed, holding her breath, she turned to look toward the doorway.
She saw the man who was "disheveled" before sleep now appearing well-dressed and immaculate in her view.
Rong Mochen casually glanced at her, both hands comfortably tucked into his trouser pockets, his voice calm, "What are you sitting around for, not had enough sleep?"
Jin Jumo was suddenly a bit embarrassed, clutching the blanket tightly, she spoke softly, "Did I sleep for long?"
"Not too long, just seven or eight hours." Rong Mochen replied.
"..." Jin Jumo was initially just embarrassed, but now she was utterly mortified.
She had actually slept in his room for seven or eight hours... Usually, such a thought wouldn’t even cross her mind!
With her ears turning red, Jin Jumo forced herself to remain calm, drawing breath, her bright Taohua eyes looking at him, "I will get up immediately and then leave."
Rong Mochen frowned slightly, "Take a shower and come out to eat."
Leaving behind these words, Rong Mochen turned and walked out.
Thankfully, when he left, he closed the door.
Only after he seemed to have walked far did Jin Jumo suddenly cover her face, feeling both regretful and self-blaming.
Wrapping the blanket around herself, she went into the bathroom.
Jin Jumo immediately noticed the brand-new clothes on the vanity.
Long lashes fell slightly, Jin Jumo placed the blanket in the bathroom cupboard, quickly took a shower, and without hesitation, put on the clothes he had prepared for her.
After all, she couldn’t possibly insist on going out naked, could she?
Putting on the clothes, Jin Jumo looked at another version of herself in the mirror.
A ladylike yet fashionable knit dress.
Judging by the clothes he prepared for her, it seemed someone very much liked women wearing dresses.
She remembered four years ago, he also prepared an outfit for her, also a dress...
However, she herself didn’t particularly like wearing dresses, and having Xixi and Hanhan now, she wore them even less.
After all, taking care of kids, wearing dresses is very inconvenient.
Jin Jumo had just stepped out of the bedroom and caught a whiff of the aroma of dishes.
"Growl..."
Coincidentally, Jin Jumo’s stomach uncooperatively growled at that moment.
Right then, a certain someone’s gaze looked her way.
Jin Jumo furrowed her brows slightly and walked out.
Standing in the living room, she looked at the man sitting elegantly on a dining chair, "Xixi and Hanhan will be out of school soon, I need to pick them up."
"Come over." Rong Mochen said.
Jin Jumo didn’t move, "I’ll be leaving now."
"Try leaving!" Rong Mochen’s voice turned low.
Jin Jumo twitched an eye corner, her Taohua eyes slightly rebellious but deliberately suppressed.
After all, for now, she was still on his territory.
She had no desire for what happened in the morning to repeat itself!
Taking a light breath, Jin Jumo tried to sound as calm as possible, "Kindergarten usually dismisses at five. It’s already past four-thirty, if I don’t leave now, it’ll be too late."
