Chapter 664: Chapter 396: _3

"Sister Hong, if you were me, what would you do?"

Rong Yanqiao smiled bitterly.

Everyone in North City knows that everything Rong Yanqiao currently possesses is thanks to the Rong Family, and everything in the entertainment circle is given by Rong Qingze.

Whatever Rong Qingze decides, no one can refuse.

Sister Hong thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Rong, everything you have now is due to Second Master’s support. No one can change Second Master’s decisions, so it’s best not to oppose him."

"The child might be someone else’s genes, but the blood and flesh are mine. If it didn’t absorb nutrition from my body, it wouldn’t even grow up. By then..."

"Miss Rong, if you look too deeply into this matter, it can’t be clearly explained."

Sister Hong quickly interrupted Rong Yanqiao, not wanting her to think more deeply.

The more you think about some things, the more painful they become.

Especially since she’s always been by Rong Yanqiao’s side, she can see clearly that Rong Yanqiao has secrets in her heart, she’s a person with a story.

Rong Yanqiao didn’t reply.

She didn’t know how she fell asleep afterward; when she woke up, it was Sister Hong who awakened her.

Sister Hong patted her on the shoulder, "Miss Rong, Young Master Huo is here."

Her role changed, returning to North City, apart from sending such a message, Rong Qingze had not contacted her again, while Huo Yanshu was the first to come looking for her.

She didn’t want to meet, but Huo Yanshu had already come up the stairs.

"You look very tired. I know you’re uncomfortable with the role change. Why not use this chance to take me back to see Grandpa Rong and finalize our marriage."

Huo Yanshu gently said as he approached her.

Rong Qingze had left all the difficult tasks for her to handle.

While she hesitated, she thought about going down together with Zhao Yixing, thought about escaping.

But!

Where could she run!

"Okay."

Thousands of words, in the end, turned into just one.

She and Huo Yanshu appeared at the Rong Family’s old mansion, Grandpa Rong was very pleased to see Huo Yanshu beside Rong Yanqiao.

Who would’ve thought, before the conversation started, Rong Qingze descended from upstairs.

This was their first meeting since the negotiation fell apart.

In the current circumstances, no one intended to speak, but Huo Yanshu greeted first, "Uncle. Since Qiaoqiao has no filming right now, I brought her over to meet you. I want to marry Qiaoqiao, and hope you will agree."

"Marriage is a good thing, especially as you two have been together for a while. I won’t interfere with you, but due rites cannot be missed." Grandpa Rong said with a smile, implying something.

Huo Yanshu nodded, "The rites are necessary, Grandpa, you can rest assured."

"Then proceed with the rites, choose a good day, and then announce it publicly, and the two families shall prepare."

"Okay."

Huo Yanshu had no objections.

"Stay for dinner." The old man extended the invite.

Rong Yanqiao and Huo Yanshu stayed by the old man’s side the entire time, during which Rong Qingze did not utter a single word.

Until—

Rong Yanqiao went upstairs to get something and was about to open the door when a force pushed her into the room, and she was pressed against the wall.

"Uncle, does my marriage anger you this much?"

Rong Yanqiao gave a sarcastic smile.

But it resulted in pressure on her neck.

"What did I tell you, and you actually want to use this to escape my arrangement? If that’s the case, I might as well let you die in that big fire!"

The old man agreed to Rong Yanqiao and Huo Yanshu’s marriage, which meant Rong Yanqiao had no chance to leave, she had to live openly in everyone’s sight.

Even if he could alter events, Huo Yanshu would notice something.

Rong Yanqiao’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile.

There is only interest and exploitation between people; once the benefits are gone, many things sour in an instant.

Between her and Rong Qingze, she never had any illusions nor dared to think.

"But Uncle, you saved me. I’ve done everything you asked me to do; I have no choice but to unless I break up with Huo Yanshu."

Clearly, she couldn’t break up with Huo Yanshu; Rong Qingze would’ve arranged for that long ago.

"I know you can arrange everything, but if one day you show up with a child, what will you do?"

"Who gave you this child while I was away...?"

"With that said, staying by Huo Yanshu’s side is indeed the best choice. Fine, after having the child, you live with Huo Yanshu as you like. But, you must complete the tasks I assign!"

Rong Yanqiao’s words instead served as a reminder to Rong Qingze, who coldly interrupted her, speaking word by word, and then his hand fell on her waist.

His every touch was so malicious.

And every action was made with malicious intent.

"Qiaoqiao, are you feeling unwell?"

Outside suddenly came the voice of Huo Yanshu, making Rong Yanqiao’s hair stand on end.

She didn’t dare make a sound, but with both she and Rong Qingze having just gone upstairs and stayed there for so long, if Huo Yanshu connected the dots...

Huo Yanshu continued knocking on the door.

Rong Qingze pressed on her waist, "Make him leave."

"I’m fine, just changing inside. Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right out." Rong Yanqiao could only say this.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you downstairs then."

Luckily, after accepting her, the old man still left a room for her at the manor.

If not, the incongruous things she told Huo Yanshu would’ve definitely aroused suspicion.

Rong Yanqiao wasn’t sure if Huo Yanshu had left, she didn’t dare make any loud noises, but her body instinctively resisted, "Rong Qingze, you always do this!"

"Angry? What do you think you’re angry about?"

"Why wouldn’t I be angry?"

"You’re always above it all, enjoying life, while I’m left on edge. Rong Qingze, I don’t want to be discovered too early; if we’re found out, I’m the only one who gets scolded!"

Throughout history, people have said women are beauties who bring disaster, yet they’ve never said the same about men. That is reality!

Rong Qingze coldly snorted, not taking anything Rong Yanqiao said seriously.

"Since the moment I picked you up, wasn’t a lot of this predetermined? If you can’t handle some things, you tell me, what’s the point of keeping you by my side?"

One sentence left Rong Yanqiao speechless.

Rong Qingze brought her back, turned her into Rong Yanqiao; everything had a purpose, people do things for a reason, nothing is done for free.

This speech reminded her instead.

"So, do you dare to go down and clarify to them? If you dare, one child, two, three makes no difference."

"Rong Yanqiao, are you insane?"
