Not long after the butler went out to convey the message, he rushed back in and said, “Master…”
Rong Tianshi, in an irritable mood, stared at the butler and shouted, “What’s going on now? Won’t he leave? If he doesn’t leave, do you not know how to chase him away?”
“But Master…” The butler was momentarily stunned by Rong Tianshi’s shouting, and a hint of doubt flickered across the butler’s face. “That person says he won’t leave without seeing you. It seems there’s some information from Miss Rong Qi that requires your signature.”
��What’s there to sign?!” Rong Tianshi fumed. “That wicked girl doesn’t acknowledge me anymore, and I’m supposed to sign something for her? Hah, tell him to scram!”
Mentioning Rong Qi only fueled Rong Tianshi’s anger further.
Wang Qing also chimed in, “Just a neighbor, what could there be to sign?”
Suddenly, Wang Qing thought of something, and her voice became sharp, “Could it be that Rong Qi owed him money back in Jackdom, and now he’s come to collect the debt?”
Rong Tianshi’s eyebrows twitched in anger.
However, just as the two of them were guessing, a person entered the door.
Rong Tianshi was furious when someone suddenly barged into his house. He shouted angrily, “How dare you! This is trespassing! You’re indeed a barbarian from the countryside. You don’t have any manners at all. You…”
However, Rong Tianshi was caught off guard by a person with a temperament. He was instantly stunned on the spot. He looked at the butler uncertainty and asked, “Is he the person from Jackdom you mentioned?”
The butler nodded.
Rong Tianshi frowned and waved his hand to dismiss the butler. After the butler left, Rong Tianshi frowned and looked at Jian Yunzhou. Rong Tianshi asked, “Are you here because of Rong Qi?”
‘From the looks of it, he didn’t seem to be short of money.’ Rong Tianshi thought as his anger subsided a little.
Jian Yunzhou nodded with a faint smile on his face.
Wang Qing looked at the man in a suit and felt unhappy. She asked, “She’s not staying here anymore. What’s the matter? Could it be that Rong Qi owes you money and you’re here to collect it? Then, you’ve got the wrong person if you’re here for money! Rong Qi is so disobedient; she’s been running around with some wild man! If you’re looking for someone, go find her!”
Wang Qing’s voice was particularly grating.
Rong Tianshi frowned and looked at Wang Qing disapprovingly, but she stared back defiantly.
Jian Yunzhou spoke indifferently, “I didn’t come to collect a debt.”
“If you didn’t come to collect a debt, then why are you here?” Wang Qing dismissed Jian Yunzhou disdainfully. “I’ll tell you, we don’t have any money, so you better leave!”
However, it was at this moment that Rong Feiyu, who had been silent all along, spoke up. “Mom, this is Mr. Jian from the Academic and Research Society.”
“What?” Both Wang Qing and Rong Tianshi were astonished, their expressions changing drastically.
Jian Yunzhou’s expression remained unchanged; he just raised an eyebrow slightly.
‘So this is where Rong Rong had grown up. Hmph.’ Jian Yunzhou thought and scoffed.
The expression on Wang Qing’s face became extremely strange. She pointed at Jian Yunzhou in disbelief and asked, “Aren’t you from Jackdom? Didn’t you say that you are here because of Rong Qi?”
“Yes,” Jian Yunzhou said.
“Then why…”
Wang Qing’s jaw dropped! She thought, ‘Had Rong Qi’s neighbor become a member of the Academic and Research Society?!’
Wang Qing’s expression turned awkward, and she quickly invited Jian Yunzhou to sit. She said, “So you’re Mr. Jian, please have a seat. Please, sit.”
As Jian Yunzhou sat down calmly, the atmosphere became tense.
Wang Qing cursed the butler inwardly, ‘Why didn’t he clarify such an important matter beforehand? It has caused me to offend someone unnecessarily!’
Jian Yunzhou took out some documents and said, “Let me get straight to the point. These are the documents requiring a guardian’s signature for Rong Qi to join the Academic and Research Society. Mr. Rong, please sign them.”
Rong Tianshi eagerly accepted the documents; after all, it was about the Academic and Research Society, and he couldn’t be happier. Even Wang Qing watched with joy as he signed.
Wang Qing said, “Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Jian. You came all the way to our house personally. If you have any business, you could have just called us.”
Jian Yunzhou calmly took a sip of tea and said, “It’s my responsibility.”
However, when Rong Tianshi signed six documents in a row, all of them were for Rong Qi.
Wang Qing’s smile froze slightly, and she asked, “Why haven’t we seen any for Feiyu?”
