Not long after the butler went out to convey the message, he rushed back in and said, âMasterâ¦â
Rong Tianshi, in an irritable mood, stared at the butler and shouted, âWhatâs going on now? Wonât he leave? If he doesnât leave, do you not know how to chase him away?â
âBut Masterâ¦â The butler was momentarily stunned by Rong Tianshiâs shouting, and a hint of doubt flickered across the butlerâs face. âThat person says he wonât leave without seeing you. It seems thereâs some information from Miss Rong Qi that requires your signature.â
âWhatâs there to sign?!â Rong Tianshi fumed. âThat wicked girl doesnât acknowledge me anymore, and Iâm supposed to sign something for her? Hah, tell him to scram!â
Mentioning Rong Qi only fueled Rong Tianshiâs anger further.
Wang Qing also chimed in, âJust a neighbor, what could there be to sign?â
Suddenly, Wang Qing thought of something, and her voice became sharp, âCould it be that Rong Qi owed him money back in Jackdom, and now heâs come to collect the debt?â
Rong Tianshiâs eyebrows twitched in anger.
However, just as the two of them were guessing, a person entered the door.
Rong Tianshi was furious when someone suddenly barged into his house. He shouted angrily, âHow dare you! This is trespassing! Youâre indeed a barbarian from the countryside. You donât have any manners at all. Youâ¦â
However, Rong Tianshi was caught off guard by a person with a temperament. He was instantly stunned on the spot. He looked at the butler uncertainty and asked, âIs he the person from Jackdom you mentioned?â
The butler nodded.
Rong Tianshi frowned and waved his hand to dismiss the butler. After the butler left, Rong Tianshi frowned and looked at Jian Yunzhou. Rong Tianshi asked, âAre you here because of Rong Qi?â
âFrom the looks of it, he didnât seem to be short of money.â Rong Tianshi thought as his anger subsided a little.
Jian Yunzhou nodded with a faint smile on his face.
Wang Qing looked at the man in a suit and felt unhappy. She asked, âSheâs not staying here anymore. Whatâs the matter? Could it be that Rong Qi owes you money and youâre here to collect it? Then, youâve got the wrong person if youâre here for money! Rong Qi is so disobedient; sheâs been running around with some wild man! If youâre looking for someone, go find her!â
Wang Qingâs voice was particularly grating.
Rong Tianshi frowned and looked at Wang Qing disapprovingly, but she stared back defiantly.
Jian Yunzhou spoke indifferently, âI didnât come to collect a debt.â
âIf you didnât come to collect a debt, then why are you here?â Wang Qing dismissed Jian Yunzhou disdainfully. âIâll tell you, we donât have any money, so you better leave!â
However, it was at this moment that Rong Feiyu, who had been silent all along, spoke up. âMom, this is Mr. Jian from the Academic and Research Society.â
âWhat?â Both Wang Qing and Rong Tianshi were astonished, their expressions changing drastically.
Jian Yunzhouâs expression remained unchanged; he just raised an eyebrow slightly.
âSo this is where Rong Rong had grown up. Hmph.â Jian Yunzhou thought and scoffed.
The expression on Wang Qingâs face became extremely strange. She pointed at Jian Yunzhou in disbelief and asked, âArenât you from Jackdom? Didnât you say that you are here because of Rong Qi?â
âYes,â Jian Yunzhou said.
âThen whyâ¦â
Wang Qingâs jaw dropped! She thought, âHad Rong Qiâs neighbor become a member of the Academic and Research Society?!â
Wang Qingâs expression turned awkward, and she quickly invited Jian Yunzhou to sit. She said, âSo youâre Mr. Jian, please have a seat. Please, sit.â
As Jian Yunzhou sat down calmly, the atmosphere became tense.
Wang Qing cursed the butler inwardly, âWhy didnât he clarify such an important matter beforehand? It has caused me to offend someone unnecessarily!â
Jian Yunzhou took out some documents and said, âLet me get straight to the point. These are the documents requiring a guardianâs signature for Rong Qi to join the Academic and Research Society. Mr. Rong, please sign them.â
Rong Tianshi eagerly accepted the documents; after all, it was about the Academic and Research Society, and he couldnât be happier. Even Wang Qing watched with joy as he signed.
Wang Qing said, âThank you for your trouble, Mr. Jian. You came all the way to our house personally. If you have any business, you could have just called us.â
Jian Yunzhou calmly took a sip of tea and said, âItâs my responsibility.â
However, when Rong Tianshi signed six documents in a row, all of them were for Rong Qi.
Wang Qingâs smile froze slightly, and she asked, âWhy havenât we seen any for Feiyu?â
