After perusing the newspaper, he handed it to her with a slight smile, "Take a look."
Lin Xinlan took it with curiosity, and upon seeing the content inside, she felt somewhat surprised.
Rong Shaoze had actually dumped Shengjue’s shares, which led the Shengjue shareholders to smell trouble and consequently, they began selling off their shares en masse.
Overnight, the Rong Family’s stock value plummeted, incurring significant losses.
"The Madam called you because of this, didn’t she?"
"Yes, perhaps Grandpa is fuming right now."
Lin Xinlan didn’t understand why Rong Shaoze would do such a thing, nor did she want to understand.
"Come back with me later," he suggested.
"I won’t go. We’re divorced now, and besides, the Madam doesn’t know I’m back. If I go, she will be very angry."
The man said with amusement, "That’s exactly why I want to take you with me now, to let my mom know you’ve returned. At this moment, she is most concerned about the issue with the shares, your issue is of secondary importance. If we don’t take this opportunity to get her to accept the fact that you’ve returned, who knows what she might do to you when she finds out later."
Rong Shaoze raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "My mom is not someone to be trifled with. Although I can protect you, I don’t want to disrespect her. Going with me today is the best opportunity."
After some thought, Lin Xinlan agreed.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for herself. What if Mrs. Rong really decided to deal with her?
Upon arriving at the old house, many people were seated in the living room; everyone had come, including Rong Mingyan.
Rong Guangguo’s expression was gloomy. Seeing Rong Shaoze, he did not erupt in anger immediately but instead got up and said indifferently, "Come to the study with me."
"Yes, Grandpa." As he stepped forward, his mother couldn’t help standing up to intercept him, whispering a word of caution.
"Shaoze, your grandfather is on a rampage; be more accommodating and don’t provoke him at this time, understand?"
Rong Shaoze smiled lightly and patted her hand, "Mom, I know my limits."
After the grandfather and grandson left, Mrs. Rong’s gaze finally fell upon Lin Xinlan.
Her brows furrowed slightly, her already slightly worried face grew more serious, "Why have you come back again? What on earth is going on?"
Lin Xinlan did not answer; she just lowered her eyes slightly, her expression calm.
Mrs. Rong waved her hand irritably, "Forget it, I can’t be bothered with your affairs."
Actually, she could see that it must have been Rong Shaoze who had brought her back.
At this moment, she didn’t want to concern herself with their issues; she was worried about how Rong Guangguo would handle Rong Shaoze.
In the study, Rong Guangguo sat on the sofa and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, why did you do it?"
Rong Shaoze sat opposite him, smiling as he said, "Grandpa, there’s only room for one tiger on a mountain, I surely couldn’t have really handed Shengjue over to Rong Mingyan, could I?"
"Scoundrel! That’s my company, my empire; I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking about changing its owner, aren’t you?!"
"Grandpa, your empire will be passed onto the next generation eventually, I’m just preparing in advance for taking that position," he replied.
Rong Guangguo didn’t expect such an answer and, containing his anger, said dissatisfiedly, "If that’s the case, why did you sell off the shares? Don’t you know how much damage it does to the company?"
Rong Shaoze still smiled, his expression not the slightest bit tense.
"Grandpa, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let Shengjue be ruined."
