Old Mr. Rong fell quiet and the suffocating silence filled the air in the living room.
“Anning, what if I don’t agree to it?” Old Mr. Rong said nonchalantly while glaring at her sternly with his cloudy eyes.
Luo Anning had long expected him to not give in easily. Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly compelled her into giving birth to Rong Yan’s child by telling her that he would only help her snatch the Anning Corporation back after she did so.
“Old Mr. Rong, I was just informing you out of courtesy. I wasn’t intending to ask for your approval.”
“If you insist on getting a divorce, I can guarantee that you won’t be able to get Anning Corporation back,” Old Mr. Rong threatened sternly.
In other words, he was trying to say that he would intervene with the matters in the Anning Corporation and make life hard for her if she dared to divorce Rong Yan.
How despicable!
Luo Anning did not expect Old Mr. Rong to be so merciless. Ever since he agreed to help her snatch the company back, she married Rong Yan and wasted two years of her youth. Yet, there was no progress in Anning Corporation at all. Did he not feel guilty about that at all?
Extremely exasperated, Luo Anning smiled and stood up. Staring at the elderly man from above, she gibed, “Old Mr. Rong, you’re really ruthless. It’s no wonder that you’re the tyrant of the business world. I take my hat off to you!”
Staring at Luo Anning without any expression, he said, “You must consider it carefully. There’s no turning back once you come to a decision.”
“I don’t have to consider any longer. I’m getting a divorce. At most, I’ll give up on the company. Anyway, the company is still in the hands of my uncle who’s also a member of the Luo Family. I didn’t let them down.”
“You… ” Old Mr. Rong stood up immediately and pointed at her back, completely speechless.
As soon as Luo Anning exited the living room, she ran into Rong Yan who was hurrying home. Staring at Luo Anning who had a calm expression on her face, Rong Yan pressed his hands on her shoulders and asked with a frown, “Did you tell Grandpa and my mother?”
“Madam Rong isn’t in. I’ve already told Old Mr. Rong about it.” Luo Anning pulled his hand away from her coldly before looking up at him. “Let’s go and get a divorce while the Civil Administration Bureau is still open.”
“Has Grandpa agreed to it?” Rong Yan asked nervously.
“So what if he doesn’t agree? I must get a divorce no matter what.”
Seeing how stubborn she was, Rong Yan felt a strong urge to beat her up. He was already clenching his fists tightly but he had no choice but to suck it up.
He instructed Xu Zhiyuan to keep an eye on her and prevent her from leaving before walking towards the living room.
“Grandpa… ” Rong Yan called hesitantly upon sight of Old Mr. Rong who was fuming with anger.
Old Mr. Rong hit him with the walking stick and berated, “You bastard, what did you do to your wife!?! She actually came here to tell me that she wanted to divorce you. What have you done!?!”
Rong Yan remained silent despite having been hit by the cane. He stood there and let Old Mr. Rong vent his anger, after which he answered, “I didn’t do anything to her. I can’t stop her from wanting a divorce out of nowhere. Grandpa, don’t get angry. Be careful of your… blood pressure.”
Old Mr. Rong hit him with the cane again and rebuked, “I don’t care what you do, beg, borrow, or steal. You can’t get a divorce no matter what happens. Also, I’m giving you a year’s time to make a baby. If you don’t give birth to a child within a year, you might as well get ready and prepare for my funeral.”
Old Mr. Rong no longer had any patience to continue. Instead, he headed upstairs angrily with Uncle Zhang’s assistance.
