Chapter 654: Chapter 392: _3

This is her only reason for living.

Rong Qingze spoke indifferently, "The old master is already urging me. When the time comes, you just need to follow my plan. As for Zhao Yixing, I will arrange everything for you."

"Okay."

Rong Yanqiao’s voice was hoarse as she spoke.

Since Rong Qingze put it that way, there was no escape. He was not even afraid of the old master, so what was there for her to be afraid of?

As long as Rong Qingze solves Zhao Yixing for her, nothing else matters.

However, things are not as simple as Rong Qingze thinks. In the sanatorium, Huo Yanshu’s men are keeping a close watch on Wenming, and the people sent out by Jiang Bei can’t take any action.

This infuriated Rong Qingze, who directly scolded Jiang Bei over the phone, "Can’t you even handle such a small matter?"

Jiang Bei was fearful, "Second Master, it’s not that we can’t handle it; it’s just that it’s impossible to start with Miss Wen. She has as many as ten bodyguards, and two caregivers by her side!"

"Moreover, there is a 360° no-blind-spot camera in Miss Wen’s ward..."

Wenming’s routine physical examinations are conducted in the ward, and the idea of taking Wenming away through an examination is impractical.

Attempts were made to bribe the doctors in the sanatorium, but Huo Yanshu bought the whole institution outright.

"Second Master, if you want a child, there are many women around you to choose from, you..."

Jiang Bei plucked up the courage to say this to Rong Qingze.

Rong Qingze immediately rebuked, "I only want a child from Wenming’s lineage!"

Wenming is now in a vegetative state, unable to conceive, so someone else will have to do it for her.

He disdains to associate with other women, only that face of Rong Yanqiao’s, which has been altered to look like Wenming’s.

"I’ll try another way." Rong Qingze’s obsession with Wenming is evident, and seeing Rong Yanqiao beside him, Jiang Bei doesn’t dare to say more; after all, he is just an assistant.

"I’ll only give you three days."

Rong Qingze issued an ultimatum and hung up the phone, the irritation in his chest prompting him to light a cigarette.

Rong Yanqiao’s thoughts have been in turmoil since hearing his words.

If she truly gave birth to a child in such a manner, her ties to this child... for the rest of her life.

Rong Qingze’s orders are undeniable and, more importantly, everything she has now was given by Rong Qingze. She wants her own space, but Rong Qingze has not allowed it.

Until—

The old master called her.

On the phone, the old master asked her, "What have you been busy with lately? If you’re free, come back to the old house."

"I’ve been learning business with my second uncle; I can come over right now."

Rong Yanqiao never dares to say much in response to the old master’s words.

Initially, the adoption was the first thing the old master opposed, but somehow Rong San and Rong Qingze persuaded the old master to change his mind.

But this is the first time the old master has sought her out, and she does not dare to be absent.

Rong Yanqiao hurried to the old house as fast as possible.

This time, the old master paid attention to her movements. The moment Rong Yanqiao appeared before him, the old master sized her up, "You came from Rong Er’s villa; have you been learning business with Rong Er lately?"

"After my adoptive father passed, he entrusted me to my second uncle. I don’t want to let my adoptive father down. Moreover, I also work under my second uncle’s wing."

Rong Yanqiao is a popular actress, with the Rong Family’s name backing her and the protection of Rong Er, she indeed has a smooth sailing in the entertainment industry and no one dares to bully her.

However, the old master also raised the most important point, "If you want to learn business, why don’t you go to your eldest uncle but instead learn from Rong Er? What results could you get from that? Rong Yanqiao, there are some things I don’t really want to think about, but I trust that you and Rong Er can both maintain the moral bottom line. This time I took you in because I want to tell you that your marriage with Huo Yanshu can happen."

The top family is the Gu Family. The Rong Family has also been trying to rise to the top in recent years, with the Huo Family still behind the four major families. To the Rong Family’s old master, the Huo Family isn’t worth much attention.

But if sacrificing an adopted daughter could effectively win over the Huo Family, the old master thinks there’s nothing wrong with that.

"Okay."

Rong Yanqiao nodded.

If the old master could speak like this, then her marriage with Huo Yanshu was unavoidable.

Moreover, both Huo Yanshu and the elderly Master Huo had mentioned it to her.

Although she didn’t really want to get involved too much, if a marriage with Huo Yanshu meant avoiding having to help Rong Qingze conceive that child, Rong Yanqiao was willing.

A child born from her womb, a child she would carry for ten months—how could she possibly be devoid of feelings for it?

"I want an answer by tomorrow. Once you two have decided, have the Huo Family come over to propose. If the Huo Family does not agree, then it means you need to put in more effort."

"Understood."

Rong Yanqiao nodded obediently.

The old man left her at the old residence.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qingze rushed over.

Just one look between her and him, and the old man gave Rong Qingze a look, after which he followed the elderly upstairs.

She received a text message from Rong Qingze.

[Wait.]

After glancing at it, Rong Yanqiao pinched her phone and walked outside.

--

In the study room.

The old man gazed amusingly at the travel-weary Rong Qingze, "I’m curious, what’s the purpose of your hurry to rush here? Is it because of Rong Yanqiao?"

"Rong San entrusted me to take extra care of her when he left. You know her status makes things complicated. And... you never approved of Rong San’s decision back then."

The old man made no attempt to conceal it, "Indeed I did not approve of her, but we’ve already reached this point today, and my disapproval can’t change anything. Since she’s a member of the Rong Family, she should now do something for the Rong Family. She’s already involved with the Huo Family, so use her to win over the Huo Corporation."

"Is that all?"

Rong Qingze couldn’t help frowning.

The old man scoffed, "What else did you think I called her here for? Rong Qingze, the way you are now, it really makes one question."

"I just thought, there was no need to discuss these matters with you before."

"Well, getting you to blow up and come here isn’t all bad. Tell me, have you thought about what I said to you on the phone?"

"Not much, I don’t have any thoughts about what you said."

Rong Qingze replied indifferently, unaffected by the old man’s words and demeanour.

"Thirty-five and not even a girlfriend, asking you for children, you think I’m farting. Rong Qingze, do you think I can wait until you’re fifty?"

The three brothers of the Rong Family all have some age differences, with the old man now nearly 70 years old.

He obviously cannot wait till Rong Qingze turns fifty.

Rong Qingze did not wish to rush things, "Leave it to fate; you don’t need to urge me if you find someone suitable."

"Then who’s the most suitable? Rong Yanqiao?"

The old man’s eyes darkened, probing Rong Qingze.

Rong Qingze, as if hearing an enormous joke, said, "Dad, are you serious? Rong Yanqiao is Rong San’s adopted daughter; nominally, she has to call me ’Uncle’. Even before she appeared, weren’t there women around me? It’s just that I find those women nowadays uninteresting!"

"So, it seems you have the same attitude as your brother’s wife. I’m giving you one month. If you don’t meet my demands within a month, then... I will arrange for someone to take back what you’ve built. And you... If you really want to see me release a statement disowning you as my son."

With a hint of a smile on his lips, Rong Qingze hadn’t expected the old man to go to such extreme measures just to push him.

But then again.

How could everything he had painstakingly built be taken back just because the old man said so?

Yet he was curious, "Who are you planning to send?"

"That’s not your concern. You only need to decide to act or not. Rong Qingze, all your life I haven’t forced you into anything. If even you go up the mountains, then the Rong Family’s hundred-plus years of reputation will be completely destroyed."

When the old man said this, his gaze fell coldly on Rong Qingze, with a degree of oppressiveness.

The old man’s concerns were not only about him going to the mountains.
