After the meal, Hu Xiuli cut a plate of fresh fruit and sent it to Liu Guifang. Then, she wore the jade bracelet Liu Guifang had just given her and returned to Rong Ruo’s room.
Seeing that her daughter was still covered by the blanket and did not want to get up even though she was awake, she closed the door and sat in front of her daughter’s bed. She said in a concerned voice, “Rong Ruo, why do I hear that Bo Yunli and Su Ye seem to be…”
Halfway through her words, she saw Rong Ruo suddenly come out from under the blanket. She denied vehemently, “Rumors! It’s all rumors! Mom! Why do you believe it too?”
Ever since she returned from the banquet the day before yesterday, Rong Ruo had been absent-minded. She was extremely frustrated.
From primary school to high school, she had always been the school beauty who was well liked. She was always surrounded by countless fans.
But yesterday, not only did Wang Dongqing treat her coldly, even Xie Minmin was a little strange.
She had already gotten used to the endless popularity. Now that it was like this, she would not accept it!
It was rare for Hu Xiuli to see her daughter lose her composure like this, so she quickly coaxed her, “Silly, how can I believe it? I am just asking you. Okay, okay, okay, I won’t ask anymore.”
Seeing that Rong Ruo was no longer making a fuss, she said nicely, “Ever since you came back from the banquet, you haven’t spoken properly to grandfather. Don’t look at how he is usually strict with you, he actually pampers you the most. No matter what you do, he won’t really be angry.”
“I know.”Rong Ruo bit her lip, but when she recalled what grandfather had said at the banquet that day, her face instantly turned red again.
Hu Xiuli pinched her little face, “Alright, your grandfather and your father are currently worrying in the study. Bring the tea over to them. You’re so smart, maybe you can help them come up with a good idea.”
Rong Ruo thought about it and felt that what her mother said made sense.
She had to pull herself together. The troubles she had now were all caused by Su Ye. She could not punish herself for other people’s mistakes.
After entering the study, Rong Ruo obediently called for them. Then, she placed the tea set on the crystal tea table and prepared to pour the tea.
Rong Shengming was still a little angry at first, but when he heard her call him, the anger disappeared.
Rong Qishan lit a cigarette before he sighed and said, “The Zhai family is being very difficult. Especially Zhai Si. They should not forget they came from a tiny place like Deer City!”
Rong Shengming was clearly more composed than Rong Qishan. “Don’t call him Zhai Si. He has a name. His name is Zhai Siqiao!”
“Silly, there are no outsiders in our house. What’s there to be afraid of!”
Rong Shengming glanced at his son.
“Don’t look down on Zhai Siqiao. Deer City is a difficult place to thrive in. If we left you there, you won’t be able to survive for a day. It’s obvious that he’s capable of making a name for himself in that place. It’s said that even ten of our families can’t compare to his family’s wealth!”
Rong Qishan took a puff of his cigarette. “Father, I know all of this. It’s not like you don’t know how important the Zhai family’s cooperation is to us. The Wang family’s cooperation has yet to be negotiated. If the Zhai family really finds someone else to cooperate with next year, our business will not be easy to conduct.”
Rong Ruo listened to their words. She served the tea and put away the tea tray. Tilting her head, she asked innocently, “Does uncle Zhai have a son who is about my age?”
Rong Qishan looked at his cute daughter and smiled. “Yes, his son is called Zhai Tianlong. However, he is not in your high school. His grades are poor and he is in a regular high school.”
Rong Ruo nodded regretfully.
Rong Shengming looked at his granddaughter. “Rong Ruo, have you thought of something?”
Rong Ruo pursed her lips shyly. She looked at the door and saw that it was closed, she then said with relief, “If we want the Zhai family to continue working with us, we have to cater to their interests. Does Uncle Zhai have any preferences?”
Rong Qishan thought about it for a moment, but then he looked troubled. “The Zhai family is different from the Wang family. They are a martial arts family, and they like to play with sabers and swords. They don’t like music, chess, calligraphy, or painting.”
He bit on his cigarette and continued, “I heard that the father and son of the Zhai family are boxing fanatics. They like boxing, and it sounds scary. How can we cater to their interests?”
Rong Ruo’s eyes rolled as she recalled Xie Minmin looking up Huo Jinliang’s life story the other day. She deliberated and said, “Dad, don’t worry. My desk mate, Xie Minmin, has been practicing boxing since she was young. I’ll ask her about it on Monday.”
Rong Shengming seemed to have been inspired by his granddaughter. “Oh right, I heard that Zhai Siqiao fought too much in his early years and fell ill. Sometimes, he would even faint suddenly. His wife is quite anxious. I’ll look for an expert in that field in the next few days.”
“Yes, yes.”Rong Ruo glanced at her grandfather and made up her mind.
This time, she must help her family stabilize their cooperation with the Zhai family so that her grandfather would look at her in a new light.
She had to let everyone in the capital know that the daughter of the Rong family was the real deal!
The Su family? It was just a joke!
—
The Zhai family was located in the south of the capital city. It was a large courtyard house. There were wooden stakes and sandbags in the courtyard. Boxing gloves were hung on the sandbags. One look and one could tell that they were martial artists.
At three in the afternoon, Zhai Tianlong came back in a hurry. He was 6’3″ and had a buzz cut. He had a powerful and domineering aura.
Zhai Siqiao came out of the main house and looked at his son’s expression. “Who has offended you so early in the morning?”
Zhai Siqiao doted on his son very much. He only looked fierce. The long scar on his forehead looked like a twisted and ferocious centipede.
“It’s embarrassing to say it out loud. My subordinate was bullied,” Zhai Tianlong said as he grabbed the collar of his t-shirt. He pulled the T-shirt off and threw it on a wooden stake at the side, his muscles, which made people tremble with fear, were exposed. “I’ve asked someone to send them a message. I’ll bring my underlings to fight with them on Monday.”
Zhai Siqiao clicked his tongue. “Son, we’re in the capital city now. There are many cops. I don’t care what you. Don’t provoke the police. Although our family is doing a proper business now, we still have to take precautions…”
Zhai Tianlong said impatiently, “Dad, stop nagging.” He touched his pocket. “Eh? Where’s my phone?”
Zhai Siqiao rubbed his knuckles. They were sore on rainy days. He gave the maid a look. The maid then handed the phone over. “Young master, you left it at home because you were in a hurry when you went out.”
Zhai Tianlong took the phone and looked at it. Indeed, the interface was different from when he had left it. “Dad, you peeked at my phone again.”
Zhai Siqiao narrowed his eyes.. “I see that there’s another girl in your WeChat.”
