Rong’s mother’s words targeted Lin Xinlan, and Rong Shaoze listened with a grim expression.
He clenched his fists, his face darkened, and a cold chill burst forth from his eyes.
"Who did you go to for this fortune-telling?" he asked coldly.
MD, daring to speak of his Xinlan like that, he’d dismantle their signboard, let’s see if they dare to continue their deceitful ways.
"You think I’m lying to you? Shaoze, I believe what the fortune-teller said is true. Look, ever since Lin Xinlan came into our lives, our family has been plagued with misfortunes, if not her bad luck then what is it?!"
Rong Shaoze felt so angry inside.
His mother simply didn’t understand anything at all.
The incessant troubles at home had nothing to do with Lin Xinlan.
The conflicts Rong Mingyan and Qiao Yiyang brought to him weren’t because of her either, they were all aimed at the Rong Family.
On the contrary, it was the Rong Family’s issues that had been constantly troubling her, either causing her injuries or getting her kidnapped, several times facing life and death.
Even, they caused her to lose her baby.
All of this, the Rong Family had implicated her, the Rong Family owed her an apology, and it was unrelated to her.
How could it be said she brought bad luck; it should be said that the Rong Family brought misfortune upon her.
Now, not only did she not receive his mother’s understanding, but she was also wronged , which made him feel terrible inside.
"Mom!" Rong Shaoze looked at her, and spoke earnestly and seriously, "I love Xinlan, she is the woman I love most in my life. If you love me, I hope you can respect my choice and respect Xinlan as well. It’s okay if you don’t accept her, but please don’t slander her."
Rong’s mother was stunned; was he blaming her?
"Shaoze, how could you for a..."
"Mom, I don’t want to discuss this topic with you. Let’s stop here!" After speaking, he turned to leave, but suddenly caught sight of Lin Xinlan standing upstairs.
She was quietly watching them, her expression so calm as if she hadn’t heard their conversation at all.
Or perhaps, she had heard, but didn’t care in the slightest.
A flicker of panic passed through Rong Shaoze’s eyes, and he hurriedly ran up to her, taking her hand as he quickly explained:
"Xinlan, don’t take to heart what we just said. I can swear, you are the only one in my heart, I’ve never had any second thoughts about you, please don’t get the wrong idea!"
Lin Xinlan smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I won’t take it to heart."
Anyway, she was a person on the verge of death, and now her heart, besides thinking of him and Xiaocong, couldn’t fit anything else.
Rong’s mother was acting for the good of Shaoze, she didn’t intend to malign her, all of this she could understand.
"Do you really not mind at all?" Rong Shaoze asked uncertainly.
"Really." Lin Xinlan spoke very sincerely.
Seeing she wasn’t lying, Rong Shaoze felt relieved and smiled, wrapping his arm around her as they returned to the bedroom.
Rong’s mother pursed her lips; she believed that Lin Xinlan was just pretending.
The words she had just spoken would unsettle anyone who heard them; how could it be possible that Lin Xinlan didn’t mind?
She must be performing a play in front of Shaoze, feigning magnanimity, thereby making herself look petty and narrow-minded.
No, she absolutely couldn’t let Lin Xinlan be with Shaoze.
Lin Xinlan was too scheming, even if she was Xiaocong’s mother, she could not allow Shaoze to marry her as his wife.
Back in the bedroom, Rong Shaoze held Lin Xinlan, still somewhat cautious.
Lin Xinlan was aware of his unease.
They had just reconciled, and then she heard Rong’s mother say those words; surely, he must be afraid that she would turn cold on him again.
