She ended the call, turned off her phone, and that way he couldn’t reach her anymore.
Walking to the staircase, she encountered Rong Mingyan, who had just come out of Rong Guangguo’s room.
Lin Xinlan stopped in her tracks and looked at him coldly, her words laced with scorn.
"Rong Mingyan, you truly are the epitome of hypocrisy and baseness! You attack the Rong Family under the guise of seeking revenge, but in reality, you just want to lay your hands on the Rong Family’s assets. Shengjue’s success today is all thanks to Rong Shaoze’s efforts. Doesn’t it shame you to steal his things? If you were capable, you would forge your own path. Reaping without sowing, what kind of man does that make you!"
Her heart was filled with anger, and that’s why she blurted out these humiliating words to his face.
If she couldn’t confront Rong Mingyan directly, at least she could gain some verbal advantage.
The man’s eyes darkened as he stared at her, his gaze narrowing dangerously, and cold light flashed within his sharp pupils.
He gave a cold laugh, his thin lips parting slightly to release his icy words:
"If Rong Shaoze and I were to switch identities and positions, I could still have made Shengjue achieve today’s glory! And do you think that he wouldn’t seek revenge against me and show mercy?!"
He approached her, his smile growing colder. "Lin Xinlan, this is my feud with the Rong Family, you have no right to interfere. Who do you think you are? At best, you’re just Rong Shaoze’s woman, you’re not even his wife anymore, you’re not even part of the Rong Family! If it weren’t for Yiyang taking a liking to you, did you really think you could have lived until today?! Don’t assume that just because I spared you, you can be disrespectful to me. The Rong Family is mine now, and if I tell you to leave, you’ll have to get out immediately! If you want to stay in the Rong Family, you’d better learn how to please me, otherwise, if it displeases me, I’ll throw you out myself!"
Lin Xinlan stared at him, his words not affecting her in the slightest.
"Now I’ve seen what a bandit is like. You haven’t even secured Rong Shaoze’s assets, and you’re already acting like a master. If you did get them, I can’t imagine how high your tail would wag. But things aren’t over until the last step. Are you so sure, that everything of the Rong Family will be yours?"
Rong Mingyan slightly curved the corners of his mouth, a faint cold smile on his face: "If they’re not mine, who do you think they belong to?
Rong Shaoze’s? Hah, it would be even better if Rong Shaoze showed up. I’m just itching for a chance to kill him again!
Or perhaps, have you and your buddies concocted a plan to fabricate a fake heir for the inheritance? Lin Xinlan, I know better than anyone whether there’s a child in your womb.
Don’t claim he doesn’t exist, even if he did, I managed to get rid of your first child, and I’ll do the same to any second child.
So, save yourself the trouble. The Rong Family’s assets should all be mine by right. They can only fall into my hands. As for the descendants of Xuanyuan Bing, they will all have to disappear, with no chance of getting anything!"
After saying that, he walked past her confidently, with a victorious look on his face.
He was certain of his victory; the entire Rong Family had to be his.
Lin Xinlan clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes.
What to do? Could she really watch him take everything from the Rong Family and continue his arrogant triumph?
Rong Shaoze, what would you do if you were here?
You would definitely take back everything that belongs to you, not letting it fall into the hands of others.
You would surely say: My things, even if lost, wouldn’t be cheapened by others!
