61: Chapter 61 Pure Childlike Smiles
61 -61 Pure Childlike Smiles
“Bang—” She closed the door and, without looking back, went to the other rooms.
Rong Shaoze lay on her bed and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
For some reason, despite Lin Xinlan cursing him so, he didn’t feel angry at all.
Perhaps it was because she didn’t hide or conceal anything in front of him, which made him feel respected.
If she had hidden her true thoughts, he would have thought that she really cared about him contracting AIDS.
Actually, he wasn’t very worried himself; his safety measures had always been good, and he was confident that he hadn’t contracted AIDS.
Rong Shaoze took great secrecy measures, containing the news of Zhou Yun’s AIDS.
But there’s no such thing as an unbreachable wall, and somehow the outside world got wind of it.
The media hyped it up, severely impacting the Rong Family’s reputation and business efficacy.
Rong Shaoze’s mother received the news and immediately rushed to the villa in a frantic hurry.
In the villa, there was only Lin Xinlan.
She grabbed Xinlan and interrogated her about everything, and Xinlan answered every question with meticulous detail.
Rong Shaoze’s mother listened and felt somewhat relieved, “From what you say, it doesn’t seem very likely that Shaoze is infected.
As long as he isn’t, that’s all that matters.”
“Mom.” Rong Shaoze’s tall figure entered the living room, his handsome phoenix eyes bright and exuding a calming serenity.
Seeing him, his mother said angrily, “I told you to keep a low profile!
Not to mix with those dubious women out there, and now look what has happened!
An AIDS scandal has broken out, and you’ve completely tarnished the Rong Family’s name!”
“Mom, I didn’t want this to happen.” Rong Shaoze sat down across from her.
He stole a glance at Lin Xinlan, whose face was calm, her eyes honest and open.
He knew she must have told all the details.
It was to be expected; who would dare to hide anything from such a formidable woman like his mother?
“Was that woman really diagnosed with AIDS?” Although she was angry, his mother was very concerned about her son’s health.
“Not sure yet, still under observation.
The doctor said there’s a ninety percent chance.”
Have the hospital results come out yet?”
“Have you felt any discomfort lately?
Any persistent low-grade fever or nausea and vomiting?”
Rong Shaoze’s smile was slight, clean, and bright.
He showed this pure childlike smile only in front of his mother, and Lin Xinlan was momentarily captivated.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.
Do you know who your son is?
A misfortune, yes, a misfortune that lasts a thousand years, you know?”
“Cough cough…” Lin Xinlan couldn’t hold back and lost her composure for a moment.
He also knew he was a misfortune…
With a knowing smile, Rong Shaoze glanced at her and said nothing, “Mom, what’s the stance of Grandpa and Dad?
You must have some idea of their feelings when you came here.”
Rong Shaoze’s mother glared at him and said irritably, “Your grandfather and father are furious!
They’ve even brought out the family discipline.
Don’t go back home for a few days; if you do, you’re in for a good beating.
Your grandfather said you need to find a way to clear the facts quickly.
The Rong Family’s reputation cannot be destroyed by this!
Also, your grandfather said if you don’t improve, he’ll have other plans…”
Rong Shaoze’s gaze darkened, and his mother’s expression was very solemn.
Lin Xinlan couldn’t understand what they were saying; she stood up with a smile, “Mom, let me go cut some fruit.”
Rong Shaoze’s mother nodded, and Xinlan discreetly left for the kitchen.
What the mother and son talked about quietly in the living room, no one knew, but Rong Shaoze’s mother left soon afterward, and Rong Shaoze calmly went to his study.
Lin Xinlan sat on the couch, picked up the newspaper, and read.
