C184 (1/2)

The smile on his face could no longer be repressed as he proudly looked at the two opponents that had been suppressing him since the moment he was born.

”Ah, I really did not expect such a result. Big Brother, Little Cousin, I'm sorry? ”I …”

”What are you so proud of? Who said you won? ” In front of him, Viscount Xia Ming gave a letter of authorization, which he handed over to Joun. ”I think, Madam Rong, it should belong to whoever it belongs to. As for those small demons, the most important thing they should do is to recognize their own position and not think about things that don't belong to them at all. Don't you think so, my dear second cousin? ”

”You …” Even in his dreams, Rong Jing didn't expect such an outcome like this. He simply couldn't believe everything that was happening before his eyes. His finger trembled as he pointed at Rong En and Xia Ming Jue. For a moment, he couldn't even speak.

What was even more unexpected was that the door to the meeting room was pushed open again. This time, it was Mrs. Xia and Old Master Rong's personal lawyer who came in.

In Mrs. Xia's hand was a piece of paper identical to the one that had just been signed by Viscount Xia.

She stood at the position of chairman and did not look at her son. She only lightly glanced at her two nephews, and then, her gaze landed on everyone's faces.

”I was commissioned by my father to announce his decision.”

She paused for a moment, then slowly said, ”The old man has already confirmed who the successor to the Rong family is. That is — Jouen! ”

When those words were spoken, everyone felt as if their acupoints had been pierced through, and they couldn't move at all.

If it was said that the actions of Xia Mingxiang, who had been shouting about wanting to snatch Madam Rong's wife, were unexpected, then the words of Madam Xia were like a thunderclap that had struck flat ground.

She smiled faintly and broke the silence in the air. ”There's nothing we can do. Our family's old man is biased, he's the one who loves this eldest grandson of his. What should we do?”

What could he do? Joun was originally the old man's heir, and now that most of the shares were in the hands of the other, who would be able to confront him head on?

The only thing he was not convinced of was his respect.

”Ma'am, what did you say?” Uncle Rong didn't seem to hear what Jiang Fangyi said.

Jiang Fangyi smiled faintly. He didn't think that Ye Zichen was playing dumb, so he asked again.

It was strange for a stepmother to be concerned about her stepson's lower body. Uncle Rong looked at her with disapproval.

”How could you think of such things? After all, you are someone with status. Is it appropriate to ask such questions, especially regarding the Eldest Young Master?”

Jiang Fangyi froze, and his expression turned ugly for a moment.

Uncle Rong shook his head. ”You're thinking too much. There's nothing wrong with Eldest Young Master. Even if it's his leg, the doctor still said it can't be cured.”

Jiang Fangyi recovered from his shock and did not believe his words, ”You lied to me!” And then he smiled blandly, ”Even if those legs are good, so what? After today, I will be nothing.”

Uncle Rong didn't say anything else. He had no interest in discussing such matters. Noticing that the person on the sickbed seemed to have a need, he quickly walked over and shook the bed to make it easier for him to lean against.

The old man seemed to have something to say. Jiang Fangyi looked over, and old man Rong spoke up slowly, ”You — are wrong, Madam Rong — will — be surnamed Rong, won't — be surnamed Jiang.”

Although his words were incoherent, Jiang Fangyi could understand the meaning behind them after a while. His face immediately turned pale.

Now that the dust had settled, there was no longer any possibility of change.

He did not even know how this meeting ended. He stumbled out of the meeting room and ran towards his office. Along the way, he met two of his trusted aides who he waved away. However, at the end of the corridor, he saw four people in uniform.

”Mr. Rong, we suspect that you are involved in two criminal cases. Please go back and assist in the investigation!”

His mind was completely blank. He subconsciously turned his head and saw people walking out of the meeting room one after another. Rong En, Xia Ming, was walking at the back. The two of them were still ignoring each other and didn't improve their relationship just because of this cooperation.

But even so, they didn't like each other. At such a crucial moment, Xia Ming Jue still chose to help Rong En.

What was wrong with him? He and Rong Qing were half-brothers, both young masters of the Rong family, so how could he be merciful? Everyone was under his bad temper and treated him well. Following him, all the good things belonged to him …

Two men led him to the elevator, a pair of cold iron cuffs on his wrists.

Mrs. Xia looked at her nephew who had been taken away and let out a long sigh.

”My dear mother, you don't have to pity him. He was just asking for it. For the sake of his financial rights, he could do anything. If it weren't for my intelligence today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here and talking to you.”

His eyes drifted to Jung, indicating that his mother had a ready-made example.

Mrs. Xia was silent.

Rönn pushed the wheelchair to his aunt's side and bent down solemnly. ”Thank you, aunt.”

Mrs. Xia patted his shoulder. ”Silly child, I'm just a messenger. I should thank your grandfather. If it wasn't for him making the decision, how would I dare to falsely pass down the imperial edict? ”

”Grandfather?” Is he not angry with me? ”

Jung still remembered the morning when his grandfather had clearly not wanted to see him.
