Chapter 205: Leave Tonight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rong Linyi’s thoughts drifted back to his childhood.
At that time, nothing happened to Father, and Mother didn’t shoulder the burden of the family. Although his sister fought with him every day, the family was harmonious and happy.
If it hadn’t happened later…
Rong Linyi sighed inwardly.
Yes, Rong Xuelong was right.
Who in this family had an easy life?
Tonight was the first time he had faced Madam Rong so calmly in all these years.
In the end, what had his mother done wrong?
Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, discordant voices barged in.
“Brother Yi! Brother Yi, you’re back?”
Rong Linyi was slightly stunned when he heard this voice. He didn’t expect anyone else to join them for dinner.
Yes, he had indeed forgotten.
He had completely forgotten… He Xiaoqin. This girl had always been staying with Madam Rong.
......
He had really forgotten about this person.
“Brother Yi, that’s great. You’re finally willing to come back. Aunt Hua looks forward to it every day.” He Xiaoqin smiled and sat a little further away from Rong Linyi but closer to Madam Rong’s seat.
Rong Linyi heaved a sigh of relief.
He hated it when people were too close to him during meals.
Fortunately, He Xiaoqin knew her limits in this aspect.
All these years, she had been staying in the Rong family, but she had never used this relationship to obtain anything that didn’t belong to her.
It was also because of this that Madam Rong had always been fond of her.
“Linyi.” Madam Rong smiled. “I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, Mother.” Rong Linyi looked into Madam Rong’s eyes, and the fierceness and hostility in them disappeared.
He should start paving the way for his woman. If she wanted to enter the Rong family, Madam Rong was the one in control. He had to let Madam Rong know that with Su Yanyun around, their relationship would be much better.
“This time, when you go to North America, I’m going to get Xiaoqin to go with you. She has been working for me for the past few years and is already very capable. With her as your assistant, I believe you will do things with less effort.” Madam Rong said.
Rong Linyi’s expression darkened.
What did his mother mean?
Was this another tactic used by women?
“Aunt Hua.” He Xiaoqin was very observant. When she saw Rong Linyi’s expression change, she immediately said to Madam Rong, “I don’t have enough experience to be Brother Yi’s assistant. Besides, it’s not easy for me to take a break. I should take care of my brother more. Brother Yi has definitely prepared everything for his trip to North America. It doesn’t matter whether I go or not.”
Rong Linyi heaved a sigh of relief at He Xiaoqin’s words.
He knew that to a certain extent, He Xiaoqin was a smart woman. Otherwise, an outsider like her wouldn’t have been able to push the Rong family’s rightful Third Miss overseas.
“Xiaoqin, if only half of my two daughters are as sensible as you, I would be relieved.” Madam Rong looked at He Xiaoqin with admiration.
With Rong Linyi’s temper, he wouldn’t want He Xiaoqin to follow him. If Madam Rong insisted, the mother and son would definitely quarrel and break up unhappily.
It was best if He Xiaoqin rejected it herself.
“Oh right, there’s one more thing.” Madam Rong frowned again. “Linyi, your trip to North America will probably be brought forward. If there’s nothing important, can you leave immediately tonight?”
“Tonight?” Rong Linyi was shocked.
He almost blurted out. How was that possible? If he left immediately, what about Su Yanyun?
