She was worrying needlessly.
The two old gentlemen hurried in as soon as they heard Rong Qingqing’s cries.
Mr. Rong rushed in, seeing Rong Qingqing crying uncontrollably in Shen Jue’s arms, and his heart ached.
"Qingqing, don’t cry anymore. Grandpa is here, and Grandpa will stand up for you." Mr. Rong patted Rong Qingqing’s head, comforting her.
Mr. Rong had seen the video from Rong Ming. Rong Ming was in high school and stayed at the boarding school. Busy with homework in the evenings, he hadn’t checked his phone.
It was only in the morning that he saw the video sent by a friend. Infuriated, Rong Ming immediately forwarded it to Mr. Rong and, afraid that Mr. Rong hadn’t seen it, he called him as well.
If he could have taken leave, Rong Ming would have come to Shen Manor himself to check on Rong Qingqing.
When Mr. Rong saw the video of Rong Qingqing trembling on the floor, his heart ached so much that his eyes turned red.
On the way to Shen Manor, after looking up claustrophobia and its serious consequences on his phone, Mr. Rong almost passed out with worry.
How could an illegitimate child have the audacity to bully the legitimate daughter of the Rong Family ?
Unable to comfort Rong Qingqing, Mr. Rong was both angry and anxious inside.
His anger was directed towards Rong Jiaojiao.
"Rong Jiaojiao, kneel down for me!" Mr. Rong, having bottled up his anger all the way to Shen Manor, reacted upon hearing that Rong Honghui had brought Rong Jiaojiao to see Rong Qingqing first thing in the morning. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nove1Fire.net
Having lived for so many years, did Mr. Rong not know what his son was up to?
As soon as he came in, the butler said that Rong Honghui and Rong Jiaojiao had upset Rong Qingqing to the point of tears.
This only fueled his anger further.
"Dad!" Rong Honghui was stunned, "Although Jiaojiao made a mistake, she is Qingqing’s cousin after all. How can a cousin kneel to a younger cousin?"
"Nonsense!" Mr. Rong was so angry he cursed.
"A hundred years ago, if a little illegitimate brat dared to bully the legitimate girl of the family , dragging her out and beating her to death wouldn’t be too much!"
"I told her to kneel. Why can’t she kneel? Does Rong Jiaojiao have any sense of being a cousin?"
"Qingqing was found early yesterday. If she had been found later, who knows if she’d be alive now!"
"If you think it’s inappropriate for a cousin to kneel to a younger cousin, then remove her from the Rong family genealogy and then see if she still won’t kneel!"
"Dad!" Seeing Mr. Rong’s anger, Rong Honghui didn’t dare say much more, fearing if he did, Mr. Rong might really remove Rong Jiaojiao from the family register.
"Come here!" Rong Honghui pulled Rong Jiaojiao forward, "If your grandfather tells you to kneel, then kneel. Kneeling to your grandfather is only rightful as a granddaughter!"
Rong Honghui personally pushed Rong Jiaojiao to the ground, but his words changed, turning kneeling to Rong Qingqing into kneeling for Mr. Rong.
Rong Jiaojiao knelt on the ground, sobbing without resistance, too scared to move.
She regretted it, she truly regretted it.
If she could go back in time, she wouldn’t dare lock Rong Qingqing in the storage room.
She really didn’t know Rong Qingqing was ill, didn’t know she could die.
She only didn’t want Rong Qingqing to steal her spotlight; she never intended to harm her.
Old Master Shen just sat on the side, watching, neither advising nor speaking.
In Shen Jue’s arms, Rong Qingqing was so shocked she forgot to cry.
She knew Mr. Rong would side with her, but she never expected him to make Rong Jiaojiao kneel and apologize to her directly.
