While his thoughts were in turmoil, butler Zhang still answered truthfully, “Young master Yu hasn’t arrived yet.”
“HMPH!”Young Master Rong snorted coldly, turned around, and went upstairs. Suddenly, he said, “Rong Yu that damned brat is here. Remember to ask him to pour a cup of tea for brother and sister-in-law.”
..
When Christine arrived at Rong residence at 11 am, Butler Zhang personally welcomed her into the inner hall. Grandfather Rong and Jiang Peihua were dressed in formal clothes and were sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
Young Master Rong was reluctantly dragged by Luo Anning to change into formal wear. The family of three sat on the sofa on the other side. When they saw Kristen enter but did not see Catherine, Luo Anning frowned slightly.
“Child, you’re here.”Elder Rong could not help but stand up excitedly and walk towards him. He reached his hand into the air but retracted it.
Christine nodded her head indifferently. “Yes.”
“Yiya!”Seeing the familiar person, the little guy in Luo Anning’s arms was so excited that he danced and babbled in Martian.
Christine smiled and walked up. She took out a brocade box from the pocket of her suit and half-squatted beside the sofa. She opened the box and saw an obsidian earring burning inside.
“Do you like it, Little One?”Christine asked, laughing, as he played with his fingers.
“Yippee-yippee-yippee-yippee-”the little guy sees the earring, throws away Christine’s finger, and goes to grab the earring instead.
“Pa-”the Brocade box was closed, Christine gave him the whole box, let him call but refused to open, raised a hand to touch his head: “Little Thing, you are still small, grow up to play.”
Luo Anning asked, “Kristen, why didn’t Catherine come with you?”
Kristen stood up and sat down lazily beside her. “Why did she come with me?”
Luo Anning frowned. “If you move back here, Catherine can come back with you too. Otherwise, why would I leave her alone in the Villa?”
“Why not?”Kristen’s expression was indifferent. From time to time, she would lean over to tease her little handsome. Her eyes were gentle.
“Christine, are you serious?”Luo Anning’s eyes flashed with displeasure.
“Do I look like I’m Joking?”
Luo Anning shut her mouth and did not speak. Young Master Rong got up unhappily and squeezed between Christine and Luo Anning. He forcefully pushed Christine away and held his wife and child with one arm. He gave him a threatening look.
“Childish.”Christine patted the dust off her clothes unhappily and ridiculed disdainfully.
“You’re not mature and steady either.”Young Master Rong countered indifferently.
Grandfather Rong saw that the two were about to fight again, he immediately said, “Rong Yu, grandfather is very happy that you’re back. “No matter what unpleasant things have happened in the past, you’re still a descendant of the Rong family. Today, grandfather will take you to pay respects to the ancestors of the Rong family so that your name can be included in the family tree.”
“Can you not go?”Kristen frowned. Those sacrifices were complicated and long, and he hated them the most.
“This…”grandfather Rong looked troubled. Jiang Peihua put down the Teacup in her hand, picked up a grape, and accurately smashed it at Kristen’s head, “Everything can be saved. The matter of paying respects to the ancestors can not be simplified.”
Grabbing the grape that was coming at her and throwing it into her mouth, Christine said vaguely, “Auntie, it’s not good to be too violent… it’s not good.”
“Why do you care if I’m good or not? It’s good that I can control you!”
Christine:”…”
Why did it feel like she had entered a wolf’s Den?
