The shock and bewilderment on Rong Tianshiâs face could not be easily dismissed.
Rong Qi sneered, âIf you want to save your family, this is the only way. No oneâs forcing you. Itâs up to you to decide, Mr. Rong.â
She had no desire to take over the decrepit shell that was the Rong Holdings. Had she not been looking for an opportunity to break into the Leucia market, she wouldnât have bothered with the familyâs fate at all. With that, Rong Qi turned and walked away. Spending time with Rong Tianshi was less appealing to her than being with her husband.
Rong Tianshi stood motionless, rigid as a statue. After a long pause, his assistant finally stepped forward and said, âMr. Rong, it seems like Mrs. Ye has no intentions of helping. Itâs even possible sheâs behind Mr. Ye targeting us. Otherwise, why would Mr. Ye, who controls the Jingsheng Corporation, bother with us, a small fry like Rong Holdings?â
The assistant glanced at Rong Tianshiâs facial expressions as he spoke. Seeing them darken, he grew more animated. The assistant added, âMr. Rong, your incompatibility with Mrs. Ye is probably for the best. If not, we would have to deal with this kind of situation more than once. All we need to do is survive this crisis. She canât keep undermining us.â
âThat ungrateful wench!â Rong Tianshi spat out with venom. âWeâre not just incompatible, weâre enemies through and through!â
A glint of something unusual flashed in the assistantâs eyes as he reassured, âCalm down, Mr. Rong. Letâs chalk it up to the young missâs youthful ignorance. She will eventually understand the importance of her family.â
The assistant pondered for a moment and said, âSince Mrs. Ye isnât willing to help and we canât find outside support, we canât afford to wait any longer. Maybe you should consider Madam Rongâs proposal. Itâs a decent way out.â
âWang Qingâs suggestion⦠Something Iâd never considered before. But now, I couldnât delay any longer.â Rong Tianshi thought.
âBut if I agree to that, Iâll lose all my shares in Rong Holdings,â said Rong Tianshi.
âThe shares can be returned to you once the collaboration is successful, as Madam Rong said.â The assistant assured.
Rong Tianshi furrowed his brows, deep in thought. The assistant sensed that the deal was almost sealed, and a strange smile flitted across his face.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of Serene Garden. Sheng Jian had just returned to his room and was on a phone call when the door was suddenly kicked open. Standing up, he looked at the intruder. Ye Nanshen, wearing sunglasses, met his gaze with a look of irritation.
âOut.â Ye Nanshen uttered the single word coldly from his throat.
Sheng Jian was puzzled, âExcuse me?â
âDidnât you hear me? Get out!â Ye Nanshen walked in and glanced at the roomâs interior, slightly frowning.
âI just left for a bit, and someone had already moved the furniture? In what was said to be Leuciaâs most luxurious auction house? Pathetic!â Ye Nanshen cursed inwardly.
Sheng Jian squinted at Ye Nanshen and inquired, âWearing sunglasses indoors? What are you, blind?â
âAre you insulting me?â Ye Nanshen turned to face Sheng Jian, his eyes glowing with a dangerous excitement from behind the shades.
âIâm not insulting you. Iâm stating facts,â Sheng Jian retorted.
But before Sheng Jian could finish, a fist flew into his face.
âUgh!â
Sheng Jian took a solid hit and fell to the ground. He shouted, âYou barbarian! Get off me!â
Infuriated, Sheng Jian struggled to get up. But Ye Nanshen pinned him down and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At first, Sheng Jian managed to grit his teeth against the pain. But as the assault continued, he couldnât hold out any longer and began to scream.
âMaster Shen!â
âMaster EightyK!â
Two panicked voices burst in from the doorway. Zhuang Ling and two of Sheng Jianâs assistants rushed in, pulling them apart..
