The servants quickly gathered, and Lao Gu interrogated them one by one, his voice sharp and merciless.
Lin Xinlan had no interest in watching the interrogation, so she went upstairs to rest.
Could this piece of news really ruin Rong Shaoze’s reputation?
Then would she have a chance to escape him?
No, the Rong Family would never allow him to be ruined. Because he was a descendant of the Rong Family, their fates were intertwined; they understood this principle better than anyone.
Without reputation, the Rong Family would also have no reputation.
At the same moment, the Rong Family’s old residence became aware of the news.
Seeing the news, Rong’s mother turned pale with shock and angrily demanded, "Who leaked this? Ridiculous! Is he tired of living, daring to tarnish the Rong Family’s reputation!"
She was talking about the Rong Family’s reputation, not Rong Shaoze’s.
Rong Guangguo had a calm expression, not fainting from anger.
He also had experienced many trials and tribulations; this matter was not enough to bring him down.
Looking at Rong Shaoze, who remained silent and expressionless, he said coldly, "Shaoze, you have one day. By tomorrow at the latest, you must resolve this matter satisfactorily. Otherwise, you will completely withdraw from ’Shengjue’ and stop dragging down what the Rong Family has worked hard to build!"
"Dad!" Rong’s mother exclaimed in shock, "This has nothing to do with Shaoze. It’s clear that someone is trying to frame him. Can’t you see that?"
Rong Guangguo shouted angrily, "Am I a fool, unable to see that! But had he not done something wrong initially, could he have given others such leverage? If he had restrained his temper at all, acted prudently, knowing when to advance or retreat, would we have today’s result? Even if someone else framed him, it’s still his own fault, he deserves it!"
Rong’s mother’s complexion changed drastically, and she nearly fainted while clutching her head.
"Mom!" Rong Shaoze quickly supported her, helping her to sit on the couch.
Turning his head towards Rong Guangguo, he nodded respectfully and said, "Grandfather, rest assured, ’each one is responsible for his own deeds; I won’t drag ’Shengjue’ down. If..."
"No!" Rong’s mother screamed, interrupting him. She clutched his arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, "Shaoze, you cannot compromise, I beg you, please don’t compromise."
Rong Shaoze looked deeply at his mother, feeling a wave of distress.
He understood her meaning, she did not want him to leave Shengjue.
"Mom, don’t worry, I won’t compromise easily, I will do my best to resolve this matter well."
Rong’s father, because of his weak constitution from childhood, had never had much say at home, but now he had to speak up for his son.
"Dad, please calm down. Shaoze is my son, I believe in his capabilities, he will definitely handle this matter well, not letting the Rong Family or ’Shengjue’ be humiliated. Dad, I hope you can also have faith in Shaoze."
Rong’s mother looked gratefully at her husband, knowing that one word from him was much more significant than ten of hers.
Rong Guangguo sighed, after all, ’blood is thicker than water.’
Even if he did not ruthless grandson, he could not be too heartless towards him.
"Alright, you all figure it out. If there’s anything you need my help with, just ask."
Rong’s mother nodded eagerly, "Thank you, father."
Rong Guangguo had a wide network and significant authority. If he took action to resolve the issue, it would be much easier.
While the family was discussing solutions, a servant came in to report.
