Chapter 689: Chapter 404:

She wanted to use threats and incentives.

But Rong Qingze was not someone who could be threatened or enticed.

Song Yu had no choice but to contact her father and ask him to arrange a meeting with Rong Qingze.

Rong Qingze didn’t really want to answer calls from Song’s father.

Until Song’s father’s message came through: “Qingze, I’d like to meet with you to announce the wedding date from your side, we haven’t had a chance to meet yet, and all eyes in North City are on us.”

“Truly, the hearts of parents around the world are full of pity.”

Rong Qingze let out a cold laugh, rendering Song’s father speechless.

However, since things had come to this, it couldn’t just end there, so he continued to speak in a hoarse voice, “Qingze, I only have this one daughter, Song Yu. I don’t want people to gossip about us, please understand what a parent feels.”

“Hmm.”

Rong Qingze didn’t say much else.

They arranged to meet at a well-known local restaurant.

Song Yu even contacted the media specifically, so as soon as Rong Qingze entered the restaurant, they were exposed to the media’s eyes.

Song Yu was attentive and cautious in front of Rong Qingze.

Rong Qingze saw through it but didn’t say anything, while Song’s father spoke first, “Even though a statement has been made publicly, I know there are rules, but it’s like this now, not having an engagement party is unreasonable.”

“I’ll give you all those things at the engagement party.”

Song’s father said hoarsely.

Although he wasn’t as wealthy as Rong Qingze, he was still a renowned professor in the field, with many people asking him for favors. Yet now, he needed to bow to Rong Qingze.

Rong Qingze also noticed the presence of journalists, and he slowly said, “Mr. Song, I respect you, and I understand everything you’re doing for your daughter, but a person’s bottom line is limited.”

The things Song’s father mentioned were of no concern to Rong Qingze.

Agreeing to Song’s father’s request was just because he asked, and Song Yu was the best person to quiet public opinion at this juncture.

But it didn’t mean he would compromise forever.

Song Yu panicked, “Qingze, can you forgive me?”

She had already brought her father into the situation, yet Rong Qingze’s attitude remained unchanged. She was really afraid Rong Qingze would announce in front of these media that their relationship was over.

Song’s father didn’t expect Song Yu to be so humble in front of Rong Qingze.

“Qingze, let’s step to another place to talk. There are some things I didn’t expect either. But since it’s already exposed, if it goes on like this, I’m afraid…”

“Wouldn’t that be just perfect?”

Rong Qingze’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

Song Yu realized that Rong Qingze had already made up his mind, and she couldn’t let all this happen.

“Qingze, I…”

“Xiao Yu!”

Before Song Yu could finish speaking, she suddenly collapsed.

Song’s father didn’t anticipate this happening; he quickly held Song Yu in his arms.

Everything happened so suddenly, even Rong Qingze didn’t expect it.

Rong Qingze noticed the urgency in Song’s father’s eyes, so he pulled Song Yu into his embrace.

The moment Rong Qingze carried Song Yu out of the restaurant, the news broke out.

All the way to the hospital.

Although Rong Qingze didn’t have to deal with the hustle and bustle, this had become the focus, with reports about how much Rong Qingze cared for Song Yu, taking her to the hospital immediately after the incident, showing his deep concern for her.

He even stayed by Song Yu’s side without leaving.

This kind of news instantly dominated the whole North City, and even though Rong Qingze asked Jiang Bei to remove it, many people were still sharing it.

In the end, Rong Qingze gave up.

Song’s father even made room for them.

For a long time, Song Yu couldn’t keep the act going.

She slowly opened her eyes, trying to feign joy, but Rong Qingze didn’t even glance at her, “Jinding is always hiring. If you’re interested, you could come.”

Song Yu’s throat tightened.

This wasn’t about Rong Qingze being money-minded; this was clearly a jab at her acting skills.

Song Yu lowered her head, “I know you’re tired of me. I also know I went a bit overboard, but I just wanted to try hard to keep you here, I…”

“Qingze, I love you so much. I can give up everything, can you please keep me by your side?”

Song Yu didn’t dare lift her head to look at him.

She even wanted to reach out and grab Rong Qingze, but the moment she extended her hand, she timidly withdrew it back.

There were reporters outside.

The comments online were so harsh.

Even her father was helping.

And now, even the old man called him.

“I saw the news about you sending your fiancée to the hospital. You don’t need to worry about those things. The engagement party is scheduled for a month later. The Rong family has two happy events; this is a good thing.”
