"Of course, I could also have you thrown back into prison!"
Lin Xinlan’s hand, resting on her knee, clenched slightly. She didn’t quite know what she was feeling inside.
Was it a sense of injustice? Discomfort? Or a helpless resignation to fate?
She looked up and nodded faintly, "Madam Rong, I have taken your words to heart. Rest assured, I won’t do anything to hurt him from now on."
She made the promise lightly, but no one knew the humiliation that came with it.
From now on, if Rong Shaoze hurt her, she could only suffer in silence.
Had she completely lost all dignity?
If only she hadn’t hit Du Ruoxin with her car, she wouldn’t have to endure Rong Shaoze’s torment or be constantly threatened by them over this matter.
"It’s best if you remember. And remember this clear: your status is not that of the Young Madam of the Rong Family, so don’t act like you’re the lady of the house, you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." That, she had always been very clear about.
Seeing Lin Xinlan was being compliant, Madam Rong’s expression softened a bit, and she said lightly, "I heard you haven’t been well lately. I think you should move in with me for a while, recuperate, and then go back once you are better.
Shaoze is young and thoughtless, he doesn’t know how to take care of you, so let me do it.
Once you are well, you can go back.
You will stay here tonight. This house lacks for nothing. Later, I will call Shaoze to explain the situation, so you don’t need to call him."
"Okay." She nodded again.
Madam Rong had arranged everything and she had no choice but to agree.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Madam Rong felt uncomfortable.
In her view, Lin Xinlan was severely lacking in discipline. To dare show an attitude in front of an elder, she really thought Shaoze would back her up?
Hmph, she had to properly train and teach her, let her know that in their presence, she had to comply unconditionally, and any rebellious thoughts she shouldn’t have needed to be completely corrected!
Madam Rong arranged for a servant to take Lin Xinlan down to rest before dialing Rong Shaoze’s number.
Rong Shaoze had just stepped through the front door when his mobile phone rang.
"Mom, what do you need?"
Madam Rong’s face displayed a loving smile, a complete departure from her previous expression, "Shaoze, it’s been so long since we last had tea together. Let’s have afternoon tea in a bit."
Rong Shaoze walked into the living room and did not see Lin Xinlan around. Holding the phone, he headed upstairs.
"I don’t have time today, let’s do it another day. I’ll pick you up for tea myself."
"How can you be busy when you have nothing much going on recently?" Madam Rong raised an eyebrow and countered.
"Mom, I’m really busy." He pushed open the bedroom door to find it empty as well.
Strange, where had that woman gone?
Madam Rong asked nonchalantly, "Are you truly busy, or are you just afraid that I might see you?"
Rong Shaoze frowned slightly, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? You’ve been bitten and don’t dare to see me because you don’t want me to find out.
Do you think I wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me?
You’re my son. I can’t bear to lay a finger on you, but Lin Xinlan’s got some nerve, to actually bite you. I’ll see how I deal with her!"
Rong Shaoze rubbed his temple with a headache and asked indifferently, "Mom, did you call for her?"
"That’s right, she is now at the old house. I told her to stay for a while,
