Chapter 112: It’s All In Vain

Rong Linyi’s eyes turned cold after hearing Old Madam Rong’s words.

Ha! Let Big Brother share the burden a little?

The Old Madam’s words sounded altruistic.

However, it was obvious that she was biased.

He was the Rong family’s eldest grandson, so it was only right that he became the family head.

Although his cousin Rong Xinming was older than him, his father was still the Old Master’s second son.

This struggle for the position of family head had lasted from his father’s generation to his.

If it weren’t for Grandpa and Mother’s insistence, the family business would probably have long been pushed into Second Uncle’s family’s hands.

What made Rong Linyi detest the old lady the most was because she constantly mde things difficult for Madam Rong, nor was it because she belittled Rong Xuelong, but because… of her attempts to control his marriage matters.

“Oh right, eldest daughter-in-law.” Old Madam Rong suddenly asked Madam Rong. “I heard that you recently found a girl of similar status for Lin Yi. Why don’t you bring her over tonight for me to take a look?”

Madam Rong smiled politely. “Mother, that is Commander Cheng’s niece. She is very beautiful and independent. She just won the Best Actress award last year, but Yi’er doesn’t really get along with her, so I didn’t force her.”

“Affinity?” Old Madam Rong’s voice rose. “With his obsession with cleanliness, what woman will be considered fated with him? Is Commander Cheng here? Bring him and his niece over.”

Rong Linyi took out his phone.

......

He pretended to answer the call. “What’s wrong… Okay, I’ll be right there…”

He couldn’t stay here any longer.

It looked glorious on the surface, but the intentions were dirty.

“Lin Yi.” This time, it was Old Master Rong who stopped Rong Linyi. “Put aside your work matters first. If you’re really busy, let your mother deal with it. Stay here tonight. It’s your grandmother’s 60th birthday, so you should accompany her more.”

Rong Linyi turned around. Even if he loved his grandfater since he was a child, he didn’t want to give in. “Grandpa, I don’t want to think about marriage for the time being.”

“Bastard!” Unexpectedly, the old man’s brows furrowed. “You are the Rong family’s eldest grandson. Don’t be too selfish and think for the family.”

Rong Linyi understood what he meant.

His older cousin, Rong Xinming, was already married a long time ago and was also working hard to have a child. The reason was self-evident.

The Old Master was getting old and had gradually stopped asking about the family business over the years. Although Rong Linyi held all the power now and had Madam Rong’s full support, but… not having any offspring was still a major flaw as the heir.

Furthermore, the fact that he couldn’t get close to women because of his obsession with cleanliness was also seen as a fatal flaw by the Old Madam and was always mentioned.

The meaning was obvious—Rong Linyi was not the rightful heir. The Rong family’s business would belong to Rong Xinming sooner or later.

Recently, she heard that Rong Xinming had taken his wife for a check up.

That was why Madam Rong unscrupulously pushed Rong Linyi towards her desired daughter-in-law.

Cheng Tingxue was Commander Cheng’s sister’s daughter. When Commander Cheng’s sister passed on, he always treated this niece of his as his own.

Military and political backgrounds were very useful for Rong Linyi to stabilize his “empire”. Otherwise, with Madam Rong’s standards, how could she possibly think highly of Cheng Tingxue’s status as a movie star?

Madam Rong didn’t care whether Cheng Tingxue was scheming, capable, or loved Rong Linyi. Anyway, no matter how scheming a woman was, it was all useless in front of her.

What she wanted was Cheng Tingxue’s background.

Rong Xuelong and Aunt Chen understood all of this.

That was why Cheng Tingxue had so many opportunities to get close to Rong Linyi.

Including that night a month ago…

“Where was Ms. Cheng on the second night of last month?”

In a building in the lobby, Jiang Chengxi stopped Cheng Tingxue with a spurious smile.
