She expected him to refuse firmly, but Rong Si remained silent for a few seconds. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, “Okay.”
Su Jiu was stunned.
What’s going on? The little villain actually agreed?
This didn’t seem like Rong Si’s style. He had a lot of pride. Su Jiu still remembered that when she was young, Rong Si didn’t want even fifty yuan even if she gave it to him. She had to convince him to treat it as a loan.
Just as she was feeling surprised, she heard Rong Cheng’s happy laughter. “Good! That’s my son. What a sensible young man! Since you’ve agreed, when can you join the company? I’ll start training you now. With your abilities, you’ll definitely be able to take over soon.”
Seeing how happy he was, Su Jiu felt disgusted. However, she could not figure out why the little villain would agree to return to the Rong family.
If Auntie Song finds out, she would feel terrible… However, Su Jiu believed that the little villain was not the kind of person who coveted property. He definitely had a plan in mind.
Rong Si remained cold. “It depends on my mood.”
Rong Cheng lectured him, “Depends on your mood? You’re the future heir of the Rong family. You can’t do whatever you want. How about this? When you’re done with your work overseas, come back and officially help me manage the company.”
Just as he said that, the door of the private room suddenly opened and a sharp female voice rang. “No way!”
Su Jiu instantly recognized who the voice belonged to.
Qiao Man walked in, wearing a complicated flowery lace dress. As she had taken good care of herself, her face held no obvious marks. She was still quite beautiful.
Behind Qiao Man was a girl who looked similar to Su Jiu in a white dress. It was Rong Xi.
When Su Jiu saw Rong Xi, she thought of the vicious things the girl had done before and had almost caused her to be hospitalized. Fortunately, Rong Xi had reaped what she sowed. It was said that after being infected by the virus, she had to lie in the hospital for more than half a year to recover. She deserved it.
When Rong Xi saw Su Jiu, her eyes darkened and flashed with resentment. However, when she saw Rong Si, her gaze immediately changed, as if she was stunned.
Rong Xi was indeed stunned. Her half-brother’s appearance was impeccable. He was even better looking than those popular young hunks.
Even though they rarely met, every time she saw him, she was still stunned.
However, Rong Si did not even look at her, as if she did not exist. He held Su Jiu’s hand tightly. The intimacy between the two of them was really… uncomfortable and enviable.
Then, Rong Xi’s gaze landed on Rong Cheng’s face, and she suddenly became much more docile. Lowering her eyes, she obediently called out, “Father.”
Rong Cheng nodded briefly at her, then frowned at Qiao Man, who was beside her. He said in a little dissatisfied tone, “Why are you here? You’re quite well-informed. You even know where I am. It seems that over the years, you’ve won over many people not only in the company but also at home.”
After glaring at Su Jiu and Rong Jiu, Qiao Man strode to Rong Cheng in her high heels and said angrily, “You still have the cheek to ask? If I hadn’t come, you would have given the company to someone else!”
She was so angry that her face was almost twisted. “Rong Cheng, speak with your conscience! Who has been taking care of the company for you all these years? I don’t know what would have happened to the company if it weren’t for me when you were hospitalized! And now?
“You’re ungrateful and want to hand the company to that brat? Have you forgotten that he’s no longer a member of the Rong family? And his mother, isn’t she going to marry the third young master of the Sheng family? When the time comes, this kid will call him Dad and not you!”
