Chapter 577: If the hard way doesn’t work, try the soft one
Rong Yan’s bright eyes looked toward him, gleaming as if they could see through one’s soul, “Rong Mu is at least eight years old, and my Little Baby is only five. Mr. Rong wants to use a 5-year-old child to exchange for an 8-year-old, and he even says it’s because the 8-year-old is too young. Do you think that makes any sense?”
“Moreover, I don’t believe you, nor do I believe anyone from the Rong Family!”
When Rong Weiwei heard Rong Yan admit that she had secretly given birth abroad five years ago before marriage, she was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t wait to find the child’s whereabouts. She wasn’t willing to see Rong Yan just ‘heartlessly’ reject Rong Nanfeng and interjected eagerly, “Sister, Dad didn’t mean that. When the kidnappers called home, they let us hear Mu’s voice. Mu is in a bad condition, running a high fever. We are just too worried, afraid that if the ransom isn’t handed over in time, Mu won’t be able to hold on. That’s why we came to ask sister for help.”
“Dad will definitely pay the 50 million ransom to the kidnappers. If you’re not at ease, you can join Dad to prepare the money. Once the funds are in place, you can immediately transfer the money to them. They said, as long as we give them the money, they won’t harm the hostage in their hands.”
Rong Nanfeng also came to his senses, knowing that being forceful was useless, and lowered his stance, his whole demeanor appearing suddenly aged ten years, he said wearily and pleadingly, “Yan’er, I’m begging you, okay? I’m asking you this one time. Let that child exchange Mu out, as long as Mu is safe, I can kneel before you if you want!”
Kneeling is out of the question.
He is a father, and he knows that Rong Yan wouldn’t want him to kneel.
But his concern is genuine. If he did not care, he wouldn’t have agreed to Jiang Meiqi’s conditions to give Rong Mu a legitimate status, willingly investing a billion in Rong Weiwei’s movie just to let Rong Mu acknowledge his ancestry and be linked to Jiang Meiqi’s name.
To him, his son is the continuation of his bloodline, and at his age, it’s not possible for him to have another son.
Rong Mu is his precious child, his bottom line.
For Rong Mu’s safety, humbling himself to beg Rong Yan is just a small matter to him.
“Yan’er, I’m begging you, please help your brother. He’s still too young; he shouldn’t suffer any mishap. I… I’m begging you.”
He steeled his heart and made as if to kneel before Rong Yan.
Rong Weiwei exclaimed in shock, supporting him, “Dad, what are you doing!”
“Get away!” Rong Nanfeng shook off her hand, his face somber, gazing at Rong Yan, as if he would genuinely kneel before Rong Yan outside if she did not agree.
However, while the gesture was made, he did not continue with the action.
Instead, he called out Rong Yan’s name pleadingly once more, “Yan’er, I’m begging you. Your brother has never met you, and he’s always asking me about his sister… Yan’er, please, for my sake, for the sake of having raised you for over ten years, even if you resent me, just help your brother this once…”
“Just this once, okay? I’m begging you.”
Rong Weiwei had not expected Rong Nanfeng to be so desperate. He had already said all she had planned to argue, and she raised her eyebrows, masking her inner delight, waiting for Rong Yan’s reaction.
Any person not made of stone would find it impossible to refuse help in this situation. As long as Rong Yan agreed to help, that illegitimate child would inevitably be exposed, and as soon as she found that child, she would immediately contact the media for exposure.
