She didn’t know if it was because she was too weak or because the anesthetic was still strong.
Rong Linyi only stood in front of Madam Rong with difficulty and did not have a fierce reaction like Rong Xuelong.
Madam Rong saw that he didn’t answer.
She didn’t care if he heard her and raised her finger.
“There are three reasons. Firstly, she was married before.”
“Secondly, the origins of the child in her stomach is controversial.”
“Thirdly and most importantly, she has indirectly hurt you. I’ve said before that no matter if it’s the person your sister is marrying or the person you’re marrying in the future, they can’t hurt anyone in our own family. You know very well why I don’t accept Ms. Jiang. Thus, on the same principle now, I also don’t accept Ms. Su.”
“Mother—”
Rong Xuelong’s voice was pleading. “Yanyun is different.”
Madam Rong looked at her daughter coldly. “I’ve always been impartial. I pay attention to fairness when it comes to people and matters.”
Then, she looked at Su Yanyun and said politely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Su. I don’t mean to look down on you, but it’s really not appropriate for you and Linyi. The Rong family is a dangerous place, and it’s not your world.”
“Okay.” She waved at everyone. “That’s all for today. Jinghui, help your brother in and call the doctor over to give him a checkup.”
“Yueze, Xiaoqin, you two will go and rest too, right? Young Master Xi, please take your sister and leave. I won’t see you out.”
She finally said to Rong Xuelong, “You and Ms. Su are also fated, so take care of her for the time being.”
She nodded slightly at Su Yanyun. “I’m sorry, this is the only thing I can do for you.”
The only thing I can do for you is not to be coerced by the Jiang family and taken away by Jiang Chengxi.
Rong Xuelong looked as if she was about to cry. Her lips moved and she grabbed Su Yanyun’s arm like a child who couldn’t get her candy. She pouted unwillingly.
He Xiaoqin and Jiang Yilin looked calm, but they were secretly happy with Madam Rong’s decision.
Especially He Xiaoqin, she vaguely felt that she had a chance.
Jiang Chengxi understood that he couldn’t take Su Yanyun away tonight and was a little disappointed and resentful.
He Yueze frowned and observed Su Yanyun’s expression.
Rong Jinghui hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to support Rong Linyi.
“Brother…” He didn’t know what to say nor how he felt.
Just as his hand was about to touch Rong Linyi, the statue-like Rong Linyi suddenly waved his hand away.
Like a dying person’s last breath, his footsteps suddenly became agile and strong. The moment Madam Rong turned around, he swept past her and pulled Su Yanyun firmly into his embrace.
The anesthesia numbed the pain in his body. Rong Linyi’s gaze was as if it was tempered with a layer of fiery metal. It was indestructible and could melt anything. He wrapped his fingers around Su Yanyun’s body and hugged her like before.
“Madam Rong.” He provoked his closest elder. His voice was distant and warning. “I’m only here to tell you the truth. Whether you accept it is not within my consideration.”
Madam Rong narrowed her eyes and glanced at Su Yanyun with a murderous glint.
“Ha, are you threatening me?”
She took a step closer, and her tone was domineering. “You’re forcing yourself now, right? Aren’t you afraid that you won’t have the support of your elders later…”
