Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Feiyu gulped nervously and asked, Dad, Mom, whats going on? You dont seem too happy.
w.a.n.g Qing replied, What else could it be? Feiyu, dont you know? Someone from Jackdom is coming! It must be those penniless relatives of the Chu family coming to get close to your father. They called your father and said they wanted to visit. Hmph, they make it sound like a friendly visit, but who knows what they really want!
w.a.n.g Qings tone was sharp and sarcastic. She looked at Rong Tians.h.i.+ and added, But no matter what theyre here for, they wont be taking anything from our house. Youve already started a new family, so why should you care about the Chu familys affairs? Raising Rong Qi has been difficult enough. What more do they want?
Rong Tians.h.i.+ remained silent, and even he, for that matter, had no contact with the people from Jackdom. The only times they had any contact were during Rong Qis wedding to Chu Jie and when he had gone to Jackdom to pick up Rong Qi. He didnt have a good impression of the people from Jackdom either.
However, Rong Feiyu looked puzzled and asked, But Mom, isnt the Chu family practically empty now, except for Rong Qis mother?
Rong Tians.h.i.+ explained, Its not the Chu family whos coming; its their former neighbors. They heard that Rong Qi is also in the capital, so they called to pay a visit.
Rong Tians.h.i.+s voice carried a hint of annoyance, and he waved his hand dismissively. He said, Dont just blame me; youre at the hospital every day taking care of your younger brother. Ive been taking care of him for so many years, and Ive done enough. In the future, focus more on Feiyu. Shes in a critical period and cant afford to make any mistakes. As for the Chu familys neighbors, theyre insignificant people. We dont need to worry too much. When the time comes, we can just send them away. But Feiyu
Rong Tians.h.i.+ paused and finally looked at Rong Feiyu with hope in his eyes. He asked, How is it? Did you get into the Academic and Research Society?
Originally, w.a.n.g Qing wore a displeased expression, but upon hearing the latter part of Rong Tians.h.i.+s speech, she couldnt help but smile faintly. She said, Whats more to say? Our Feiyu has already become a representative of the new generation. Naturally, she smoothly entered! In the future, my daughter must marry into a good family, and then I can enjoy a comfortable life.
Thats right, Rong Tians.h.i.+ chimed in with a smile.
However, they failed to notice that the more they spoke, the redder Rong Feiyus face became. She hesitated for a long time but decided to speak up.
However, just at that moment, the butler rushed in to report, Master, Madam, theres a man outside looking for you. He says hes here to see you.
Who is it? What does he want with me? Rong Tians.h.i.+ asked as he was still lost in his daydreams and didnt even raise his head.
That man said he used to be the neighbor of Miss Rong Qi in Jackdom and has some business to discuss with you.
Neighbour from Jackdom? So quick? Didnt they say they would come in a few days? Rong Tians.h.i.+s tone was impatient.
w.a.n.g Qing, with an air of superiority, added, Typical of someone from the countrysideno manners at all. They didnt even make an appointment and just showed up uninvited. Such a bother! They have no ability of their own, yet they want to attach themselves to the people from the neighborhood. These people are truly annoying. Go tell that man that Mr. Rong isnt here and ask him to leave.
The butler nodded and hurriedly left. However, he couldnt help but feel a bit puzzled. Judging by the mans attire and demeanor, he didnt look like someone who was from the countryside that Rong Tians.h.i.+ and w.a.n.g Qing were describing.
But these matters werent within the purview of a butler. His job was to convey messages..
