Rong Linyi’s brows furrowed upon hearing his brother’s description.
“What cute woman?”
Rong Jinghui was definitely not talking about someone he knew.
“Yes, she is very cute.” Rong Jinhui’s tone was not at all flat. If Rong Linyi didn’t know his brother well, he would have thought that he was telling a story about someone else. “You can scare her however you want, and she will cry. Second Brother, I want to find her and make her my girlfriend.”
Rong Linyi rubbed his temples.
Girlfriends were not meant to be frightened…
He didn’t know how to explain it to Rong Jinghui.
“Since you want her to be your girlfriend, why didn’t you bring her here? The family will be very happy to know that you’ve begun to be interested in women.” Rong Linyi gave up on explaining and raised the topic.
“That won’t do.” Rong Jinghui looked straight ahead with numb eyes. “Those pieces of trash aren’t worthy of being happy for me. In this family, only experts like Second Brother and Big Aunt are family members that I acknowledge.”
Rong Linyi’s face was warm.
He was always a cleanliness freak and didn’t want to be near anyone but he actually patted Rong Jinghui’s shoulder. “I’ve always treated you as my younger brother.”
They looked similar, and their temperaments were similar. Thus, very few people who saw them would mistake them for biological brothers.
But Third Young Master Rong Jinghui, was actually Rong Linyi’s cousin.
Rong Jinghui, who had a sociopathic personality since he was a child, was ruthless to himself and his birth parents, but he obeyed this cousin of his.
When the door to the most prestigious reception room on the second floor was opened, most of the people invited by the Rong family’s patriarch had already arrived.
“What a rare guest.” Rong Xuelong held a red wine glass and smiled meaningfully.
She was the one who had forced Rong Linyi to come, and the person with the sarcasm in her words was also her.
Rong Linyi ignored his sister’s condescending gaze and walked straight to the elderly couple in the middle.
The old man in the middle was the Rong family’s head and Rong Linyi’s grandfather, Rong Bosen. His spouse was Qiu Shuyu.
Today was the 60th birthday celebration of Qiu Shuyu.
Qiu Shuyu had taken good care of herself and was well-dressed. She looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties at most. There was a harshness in her eyes that matched her appearance.
Seeing Rong Linyi and Rong Jinghui walk in together, Old Madam Rong’s expression was subtle.
“Grandpa.” Rong Linyi first nodded at Old Master Rong before turning to her.
“Happy birthday, Grandma.”
He said this statement simply.
Rong Jinghui, on the other hand, had no intention of opening his mouth.
“I was still thinking about it today. Linyi is so late, and he might just bring me a daughter-in-law.” Old Madam Rong tidied her hair. “I didn’t expect you and Jinghui to come over empty-handed to congratulate me.”
“Only Second Brother congratulated you, not me,” Rong Jinghui said indifferently.
Old Madam Rong’s expression darkened.
Rong Jinghui’s mother hurriedly smiled and walked towards her. She tugged on the old lady’s sleeve coquettishly. “Mother, don’t lower yourself to Jinghui’s level. You know that he has a congenital deficiency, and he’s actually a pitiful child.”
Old Madam Rong patted Rong Jinghui’s mother’s hand with a look of understanding.
“Forget it. It hasn’t been easy for you two children, especially Linyi. He still has to take over the Rong family’s business. How many times have I told your grandfather I’ll get your elder brother to share some of the burden with you? Sadly, your grandfather is a little traditional and he just isn’t convinced…”
