Sheng Jian pulled up a chair with a mocking expression and said, “The people who attempted to assassinate Little Qi today were sent by you, right? Didn’t you think to change your methods? Twenty years ago, you used them to assassinate Jing. Now, you’re using the same tactics against Little Qi. Do you think you’ve hidden it well?”
“You!” Rong Tianshi’s pupils dilated, his face stiffening, “How do you know?”
“Why wouldn’t I know? If it weren’t for Jing stopping me, I would have returned to the capital to end you long ago. Did you think you could keep up your charade until now?”
Sheng Jian’s face was devoid of warmth, “Fortunately, Little Qi is more decisive and ruthless than her mother. The assassins you sent not only died themselves but also led to the destruction of the Rong family today.”
“What? You… you’re lying! Impossible!”
Rong Tianshi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Still hoping your precious Feiyu will turn things around for you? Well, let me tell you, her attempt to seduce Ye Nanshen failed. She was stripped of all identity and thrown among beggars. Your old mother was so frightened she became paralyzed and was sent back to the countryside. And that homewrecker of yours? Ye Nanshen sent her to a bar. After all, she’s an aging beauty, right?” “No… impossible! Ye Nanshen wouldn’t do this, he couldn’t! Feiyu is still so young, how could he be so cruel? Impossible!”
Rong Tianshi clenched the bedsheet, his face turning pale with bulging veins and a look of agony.
Sheng Jian scoffed, “You know how to feel pity? But when you plotted against Little Qi, you should have known the consequences. Your most cherished daughter is now being despoiled by beggars. How does that feel? Ironically, the daughter you despised the most now fully controls the Rong family. Comforting, isn’t it?”
Rong Tianshi gritted his teeth, a bitter taste rising in his throat, unable to hold back, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
‘The Rong family is finished, and so is Feiyu.’ Rong Tianshi thought. Despair filled his eyes.
After a moment, Rong Tianshi reached out to grab Sheng Jian, but his hand flailed in vain. Desperately, he pleaded, “Sheng Jian, no matter what, I beg you, don’t involve Feiyu in our generation’s grudges. She’s an innocent younger generation. Please, save her. She will die like this, she will.”
“Doesn’t she deserve it?”
“I know I was wrong. I apologize. I can apologize to Rong Qi. Please, only you can save Feiyu now.” Tears streamed down Rong Tianshi’s face.
Though Rong Tianshi cared about his interests, he genuinely loved Rong Feiyu. Hearing of her suffering was unbearable. His heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. It seemed as if he realized the importance of family only after losing everything. Feiyu was now his only kin.
“Your apology? Is it useful? I only wish for your death now! If you want to apologize, wait until you’re dead and kneel before Jin, see if she forgives you!” “No matter how you ridicule me, I beg you to save Feiyu.”
Sheng Jian clenched his teeth, his face stormy with scorn, “Hah, this is the man Little Qi saved with half her life. Until now, not a word of concern for her. Really, what a waste of genuine care!”
Sheng Jian took a deep breath and added, “Fine, from now on, you owe Little Qi nothing. You two are even. From this day forward, Rong Qi is my daughter, Sheng Jian.. What you owe her, I will spend my lifetime making up for!”
