Chapter 125: Chapter 122: He Asked, Why Did You Put Your Hair Up? (3)
"You rebellious child!" Fang Jingyi gritted her teeth, almost losing her balance, luckily Fang Jingting supported her.
Fang Jingting looked at Fang Jingyi’s pale face with anger. Already dissatisfied with Rong Mochen, she became even more furious, "Mo Chen, look at how you’ve infuriated your mother?"
Rong Mochen looked at Fang Jingyi’s bloodless face, his dark eyes sank, and he tightened his lips without speaking.
"Fine, you’re really something!" Fang Jingyi trembled, pointing at Rong Mochen, her eyes blood-red by the end.
Rong Sinan sat silently. In the past, if Rong Mochen and Fang Jingyi were like this, he would have spoken up to mediate, but today, for some reason, he remained silent, as if he hadn’t heard their discontent confrontation.
Tang Ruan’s eyes were red, still staring unblinkingly at Rong Mochen, witnessing how he protected Jin Jumo, feeling as if pierced by a blade.
In just a year, he redirected his affection to this extent, willing to speak harshly to his own mother for another woman.
Should she call him heartless or deeply affectionate!
Jin Jumo saw Fang Jingyi, too angry to speak, only a flicker in her eyes.
Rong Zhengfeng furrowed his brows deeply, glanced at Fang Jingyi, and his face followed suit, wrinkling as he looked at Rong Mochen, "Mo Chen..."
"Grandfather, do you also want me to abort the child?" Rong Mochen squinted, his expression appearing so ruthless and extreme.
Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes widened in shock, "What nonsense are you talking? You dare to try aborting my great-grandchild!"
Rong Mochen’s thin lips twitched, reaching to hold Jin Jumo’s hand. Upon sensing the coolness of her palm, his long brows furrowed, then he tightened her hand in his.
"In that case, let me give you some good news." Rong Mochen said.
"What?" Rong Zhengfeng stared at Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen squinted, "Little Mo is pregnant with twins, which means, soon, you’ll have a pair of great-grandchildren."
A pair...
Twins!
Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes almost popped out in surprise, overwhelmed with joy, unable to react for quite some time, whereas Fang Jingyi almost fainted.
One is easier to handle, but with two...
"Haha, haha..."
Rong Zhengfeng abruptly burst into hearty laughter, looking at Jin Jumo with uncontrollable joy, "Little girl, well done. You’re the first in our Rong Family to be pregnant with twins. Wonderful, wonderful, this can improve our Rong Family’s genes, and from now on, our Rong Family will have the gene for twins. Good, good!"
Rong Zhengfeng seemed to already see the scene of having many descendants in the near future, which filled him with delight.
They say the mother is honored by the child’s status, and now Rong Zhengfeng found Jin Jumo more pleasing and likable the more he looked at her!
Smiling, Rong Zhengfeng said, "Wait, grandfather will go inside to get something."
Saying that, Rong Zhengfeng laughed heartily and walked towards the inner room, his steps almost gusty, showing how delighted he was.
Fang Jingyi’s eyes widened sharply upon hearing Rong Zhengfeng’s words.
The next second, she broke away from Fang Jingting’s support and followed closely, "Dad, don’t be impulsive..."
Reaching the door, Rong Zhengfeng suddenly slammed the door shut from inside.
Fang Jingyi, anxious, grasped the door handle, shouting at the entrance, "Dad, this must be discussed, you..."
Swish...
The door reopened in front of Fang Jingyi.
Seeing the wooden box in Rong Zhengfeng’s hand, Fang Jingyi’s face turned pale, her voice rising in urgency, "Dad."
"I’m old but not deaf."
Perhaps in a good mood, the old man spoke with a smile on his face.
Fang Jingyi was extremely anxious, "Dad, what are you doing with this?"
Rong Zhengfeng ignored her, smiling as he walked over to Jin Jumo, "Jin, you’ve done a great service to our Rong Family by carrying twins. Rest assured, our Rong Family will be responsible. If Mo Chen dares to break his promise and not marry you, grandfather will be the first to disagree."
Pausing, Rong Zhengfeng’s expression suddenly turned stern and intimidating as he cast a glance at Fang Jingyi and Fang Jingting, "If I find out someone dares to sabotage you in secret, grandfather will make sure they can’t stay in Z City or in the Rong Family!"
The old man’s words couldn’t be more serious!
Fang Jingyi was stunned, her face turned pale but full of unwillingness.
Fang Jingting shrank her neck, sitting on the sofa, not uttering a word.
Tang Ruan’s face at this moment was full of cold irony and self-mockery, even forgetting to conceal it.
"Jin, accept this as grandpa’s gift to you," Rong Zhengfeng handed the box to Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo felt somewhat uneasy with Rong Zhengfeng’s "enthusiasm", "Wh, what?"
"Grandfather is giving it to you, just accept it." Rong Mochen softly whispered in her ear.
Jin Jumo frowned, looking up at Rong Mochen, hesitation in her eyes.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes were softly fixed on Jin Jumo, "Haven’t accepted it yet?"
Jin Jumo squinted slightly before reaching out to take the brocade box from Rong Zhengfeng’s hands, curling her lips, "Thank you."
"This is nothing. When you give Grandpa a great-grandson, I’ll give you an even larger one."
Rong Zhengfeng said with a smile, suddenly turning his gaze to Tang Ruan sitting on the sofa with a sorrowful expression, "Ruan Ruan, you and Sinan need to work hard. When you two give Grandpa a great-grandson, Grandpa will also give you a big gift."
Tang Ruan’s face changed several times, finally smiling softly at the delighted Rong Zhengfeng, "Grandpa, Sinan and I will try our best. I think it won’t be long before there’s good news."
Rong Zhengfeng was surprised, "So you two have already planned this?"
Tang Ruan smiled shyly, turning to look at Rong Sinan with eyes full of love.
Rong Sinan’s face was expressionless, but his furrowed brow was even tighter, staring deeply at Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan’s smile became somewhat stiff, the softness in her eyes gradually turning to pleading as tears welled up, looking sorrowfully at Rong Sinan.
Rong Sinan took a breath, his thin lips slightly taut, raising his eyes to look at Rong Zhengfeng, who was expectantly watching them, and forced a smile, "Grandpa, Ruan Ruan and I have indeed started preparing for pregnancy."
"Good, good!"
Rong Zhengfeng smiled so broadly that his eyes nearly formed a line.
Tang Ruan heard Rong Sinan say this, and the stiffness on her face visibly softened, reshaping her lips into a smile at Rong Zhengfeng, yet her eyes occasionally, unintentionally swept towards Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen never looked this way from start to finish, his deep black eyes were fixed on Jin Jumo beside him, even leaning over now and then to whisper softly with Jin Jumo, the distinct side profile gentle and elegant.
Tang Ruan’s hands clutched tighter bit by bit on the sofa, smiling outwardly but God knows how much pain, hate, and unwillingness she felt inside!
All his tenderness, every gentle word, every considerate action should have belonged to her!
Yet in merely a year, he gave all his rare grace, sympathy, and indulgence to another woman!
She was furious, why did she still love him, yet the man who once loved her no longer had her in his eyes!
After saying those words, Rong Sinan remained silent, his quiet gaze fixed on Tang Ruan, yet for some reason, he felt an unprecedented unfamiliarity with the woman he had known and liked since childhood.
Fang Jingyi, upon hearing about Rong Sinan and Tang Ruan’s preparations for pregnancy, felt her heart, heavily hit, slightly mending just a little.
"Sis, you really plan to let Mo Chen marry that woman into the Rong Family?"
The group had arrived at Rong Zhengfeng’s place, naturally couldn’t leave without having dinner, but with that irritating person there, especially with Rong Zhengfeng being so attentive to her, Fang Jingyi really couldn’t stand it and went to the backyard for some air.
Having just learned of Jin Jumo’s pregnancy, Fang Jingting naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to "chat about family matters" alone with Fang Jingyi and followed out.
"What this or that woman? Just say what you mean!"
Already annoyed, Fang Jingyi saw her follow out, becoming even more vexed, speaking somewhat sharply.
Fang Jingting crossed her arms, speaking sarcastically, "Just because you don’t dare to vent at people, you’re taking it out on those easier to bully, huh?"
"..."
Fang Jingyi frowned, glaring at Fang Jingting, "I’m already upset, don’t provoke me!"
"Why would I provoke you? I’m here because you’re upset, coming to find you, don’t fail to see good intentions!" Fang Jingting shot back.
"Your good intentions? You’re just looking to see me make a fool of myself, as if I don’t know you!" Fang Jingyi snorted coldly.
"Sis, saying things like that isn’t fair. We’re blood sisters, thicker than water. Even if I often challenge you on ordinary days, when real problems arise, am I not still on your side?" Fang Jingting said.
Fang Jingyi frowned; in the Fang Family, it was just her and her two sisters, truly when things happened, they indeed consulted each other on strategies.
Thinking of this, Fang Jingyi looked at Fang Jingting, "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Fang Jingting raised an eyebrow, "What I think isn’t important; the key is what you think."
"Of course, I don’t want her to marry into the Rong Family. But the problem is, regardless of whether I want it or not, I can’t do anything about her. Not only is she pregnant, but she also has the old man backing her up! In short, my opinions in the Rong Family are currently irrelevant." Fang Jingyi’s tone carried some helplessness and pessimism by the end.
Fang Jingting glanced at Fang Jingyi, feeling uncomfortable; never mind Rong Mochen, her family’s eldest son was no different, sighing internally.
"Sis, if you truly don’t want her to enter, there’s always a way," Fang Jingting said.
"Way? What way can I have now? Didn’t you hear the old man say, anyone daring to make moves in secret would be banished from Z City, from the Rong Family. Isn’t that clearly targeting me and you?" Fang Jingyi smirked self-deprecatingly, coldly.
Fang Jingting narrowed her eyes slowly, speaking chillily, "We just don’t act ourselves then."
"..."
"What do you mean by that?" Fang Jingyi froze slightly, frowning at Fang Jingting.
"Sis, aren’t there plenty of socialites wanting to marry into the Rong Family, marry Mo Chen?" Fang Jingting lowered her eyes, lips curled with a careless smile, speaking carelessly, but Fang Jingyi couldn’t afford to listen carelessly.
Being sisters, after thinking a bit, Fang Jingyi understood the deeper meaning in her words.
Frowning, Fang Jingyi hesitantly gazed at Fang Jingting, "The old man already gave the heirloom to that woman, which basically means he’s acknowledged her as the granddaughter-in-law. How could daughters from other families in Z City have any hope?"
