eached the foot of the mountain, and Lin Meng was half-hugged by Rong Ling as they got off. Rong Ling took out his phone and started making a call. As soon as the call connected, a fiery voice came fr...Rong Fei Wu was also among those negotiating. Hearing such a result, his face darkened, and he didn't say a word. However, Du Cai Yi absolutely couldn't bear this outcome. (..tw good novels) This was her own son! They had kicked him out of the Rong family. How could he possibly make it in life after this People who were expelled from the Rong family wouldn't be welcomed by other decent companies. And with his temperament, he wouldn't stoop to doing menial work. She had money, and so did Rong Fei Wu. He could live off that for the rest of his life. But if he ended up like this, he would only be slightly better than a useless person. Besides, if he was kicked out of the Rong family, what about his son, her grandson With a father who had such a big stain on him, her grandson's future path would be extremely difficult. She had high hopes for her grandson!

So, her mind racing, she immediately spoke up, begging those present to show leniency towards Rong Qikeng.

Du Caoyi was the former mistress of the household, and her words always carried weight. However, Rong Qikeng's actions were too serious to be reversed by Du Caoyi's pleas.

"Fifth Sister-in-law (Du Caiyi), regarding Rong Qikeng, we have already been lenient. You need to know that because of his private actions, he has caused enormous losses to our Rong family and the entire Asia East. Simply kicking him out of the Rong family and taking back his shares would be incredibly cheap for him. Look back yourself at what happened to Rong Ling before him, who was also kicked out. What he did then, compared to what Rong Qikeng has done, is merely a drop in the bucket. At that time, we not only investigated his accounts but also made Rong Ling compensate for the losses he caused. We are already showing leniency by not making Rong Qikeng fully compensate for the losses he has caused. Moreover, as it turns out, Rong Ling's decisions back then were correct. The deals he signed all turned profitable in the end. It's just that we—"

When it comes to this, Rong Qi's face flashed with remorse, self-blame and regret, and finally added.

"As for how you handled Lui Tat-hung, was it harsh or lenient After being in charge for so many years, you should know best!"

Others nodded in agreement.

Du Caiyi could not possibly be unaware, she understood it very well. But there was a difference between knowing rationally and accepting emotionally. Rong Qikeng was her son, flesh and blood that had fallen from her body. If Rong Qikeng was hurt, it was like digging into her own flesh; how could she stand it!

"What Qikeng did was wrong, but it wasn't entirely his fault. Everyone here is a smart person and should know that the Rong family is facing this situation because we were already targeted and trapped in someone else's scheme. Qikeng was just momentarily confused and led astray by others. I believe that even if Rong Ling was still in charge, our Rong family would have inevitably gone through this ordeal. Therefore, please consider this carefully and show more understanding towards Qikeng."

Everyone's lips pursed, their expressions cold.

Du Caiyi's heart turned cold, and she hurriedly tugged on Rong Feiwu's sleeve, motioning for him to help her. Rong Feiwu also wanted to maintain face. Because of Rong Qikeng, he had already pulled down his old face several times and felt like he was about to lose all face. Therefore, he really didn't want to say anything more.

Du Caixin leaned into his ear, gnashing her teeth hatefully: "There's also DuoDuo!"

Rong Fei Wu's heart was slightly rippled. Indeed, there was also his grandson. The grandson he favored to take over the responsibility of the Rong family.

But, his expression still remained unchanged.

As Wong Cho-kwan was facing condemnation from the crowd, seeing his parents seemingly incapable of helping him, he felt as if the sky was about to collapse. He immediately knelt down and begged everyone present, practically every single one of them.

As the saying goes, "once you've been through it once, the second time is easier." At first, this involved a loss of pride and kneeling down for the very first time. The second time was then much less difficult.

This kid is a bit sly when it comes to dealing with people. At this time, he knows how to play the family card, calling out “uncle” and “aunt” with tears in his eyes, sounding incredibly sincere. He reminisces about his childhood and youth, recalling how well these uncles and aunts treated him back then.

“Master Jiu, you forgot, when I was little, you always took me up trees to get birds. You said that naughty children grow up to be great, and that I was just like you. Master Jiu, I don't want to leave Rongjia! This is my home! If I leave, where will you send me!”

……

"Uncle Twelve, you used to love bringing me all sorts of books from abroad. Every time I visited, you would always read me a passage. Back then, I would sit at your feet and listen to you read. Don't you remember!"

……

"Fifteen Aunty, your room always smells so good, I love running to your room and staying there. You always laugh and say that since I'm not married, you have a big son now. Whenever there's delicious food, you always save me a portion. When you got married, I didn't understand. I hugged you and cried, begging you not to leave. You said you were still in this house; just changing rooms. You said that Rong Family was your home, and no matter where you went, it would always be your home. Fifteen Aunty, I don't want to leave either. I don't want to leave Rong Family. Just give me a place, even a small corner, as long as it's still part of Rong Family. But I just can't leave Rong Family! I don't want to go anywhere else; I just want to stay in Rong Family..."

A big man, in front of so many people, was crying with tears and snot, like a child. He was talking about his close friendship with these powerful people, as if time had suddenly reversed, taking him back to when he was a child and their warm interactions. Then, in another instant, time flowed forward again, leaving the once beloved child kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy...

Some people's expressions revealed a trace of sympathy.

Although some people's expressions shifted slightly, no one refuted her when she tearfully pleaded.

The state of his heart finally fluctuated!

Du Caiyi thought to herself, "This is an opportunity." After her son finished his requests one by one, tears streamed down her face. Suddenly, with a sound like thunder, she knelt down.

"Everyone, I beg you, please don't drive Qikeng out of Rongjia. He's my only son. When I get old, I still rely on him. If you drive him away, what am I supposed to do as his motherQikeng made a big mistake, and the losses he caused to the company are enormous. As his mother, I will try my best to help him make up for it. I just hope that you will consider our past friendship, and my contributions to the company and our family, and give Qikeng a chance to redeem himself. I beg you, please…"

Du Caiyi's tears streamed down her face as she looked at everyone, her eyes filled with a deep plea.

He, Rong Qi, also cooperated. He started calling everyone uncles and aunts again, one by one. The way he called them was so sad, so full of emotion; it made people feel even more heartbroken.

This is the first time in many years that someone has been driven out of the Rong family. This sudden action seems rather harsh. Even the most ruthless person wouldn't be able to withstand such a plea from a mother and son. Some people, facing this difficulty, turned their attention to Rong Fei Wu.

Rong Fei, pondering the pitiful grandson, weighed his options and after much deliberation, wiped away the wrinkles on his face and finally spoke.

"I'm such a bad parent, I've let everyone down. Ah..."

With a long sigh, he still helped Rong Qikeng one last time.

"Please give me another chance, everyone. Just find a small corner and put the toast down. From now on, no matter what he does, I won't say another word about his affairs!"

This statement carries a lot of weight.

Everyone first exchanged glances, then whispered to each other. After all, because of Rong Qikeng's different status, and out of face for both Du Caixin and Rong Feiwu, they didn't drive Rong Feiwu out. However, they still maintained their original decision, forcibly reclaiming the shares of Ya Dong Group under Rong Qikeng's name to compensate for the losses he caused. They also unceremoniously took some from Du Caixin's hands. Saying it this way in front of the clan members was considered passable. As for what Rong Feiwu had, they didn't touch it.

Everyone was playing their own games, because they all wanted to bring Rong Ling back to lead Ya Dong. Weakening Du Caiyi's power would pave the way for Rong Ling. Du Caiyi and Rong Ling had a bad relationship, as everyone knew. They thought that if Rong Ling found out about this, he might feel better. However, Rong Fei Wu was the former head of the family, and before Rong Ling returned, the clan relied heavily on him. They couldn't publicly humiliate or disrespect him. Moreover, Rong Fei Wu was Rong Ling's father, and when it came time for Rong Ling to work hard for the company, Rong Fei Wu would need to be involved as well. So, they couldn't touch Rong Fei Wu. Besides, those shares in Rong Fei Wu's possession – who they would eventually go to was anyone's guess. If Rong Ling was interested in those shares, it could give them more leverage over him.

Just like that, with his good parents and family background, Rong Qikeng managed to barely keep his position. After much deliberation, the people decided to give him a powerless honorary role, allowing him to retain the glory of being under the protection of the Rong clan, but essentially letting him live off their support doing nothing.

These old men of the Rong family are now busy trying to persuade Rong Ling back. They regret it now, they were truly blinded by lard in the beginning, and just like that, they drove Rong Ling away.

But no matter how they coaxed and flattered him, apologized with gifts, or offered him great riches to return, Rong Ling only had two words for them: "No way!"

Even their noodles, Rong Ling could not be seen.

On the phone, these people were humiliated and treated rudely. They were incredibly angry and frustrated, but they still needed him and had to rely on him. They sent representatives to find him, but they couldn't even get into his house; they were blocked at the door. Then, they sent representatives to his company, but they were stopped by security guards who were very firm in their refusal.

This is simply asking for trouble!

They are even less likely to force their way in!

At this time, being tough will only further provoke Ling's resentment!

There's really no other way, so they had to ask Rong Feiwu to step in. Even if Rong Feiwu was Rong Ling's father, it wouldn't make a difference. Once he went out, he wouldn't come back, no matter what.

You think he's talking like a real person, huh Once he opens his mouth, it's just hot air!

Rong Fei had a face full of shame, and he was still proud. He didn't have the mentality of "I'm going to beg my son desperately," so after hitting a wall, he shrugged and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do." As for what happened to Yidong, he would keep an eye on it, but he wouldn't intervene again to persuade Rong Ling back.

Even Lian Rongfei, who possesses such an impressive presence, couldn't bring back the untamed wild horse, Rong Ling. Who else could possibly have that ability! For a moment, the elders of the Rong family were distressed. Their brows furrowed, and each one looked like a frail old man or woman, with worry etched on their faces. They scratched their ears and pulled at their hair, as if they had aged several years overnight. It was Rong Qi who possessed the ability to guide them out of their confusion with a single sentence.

"It's better to seek Lin Meng than to seek Rong Ling. The probability of success is at least 70% or more!"

Think about it, everyone. It seems like this is the case. When Rong Ling left so carefree back then, wasn't it all for Lin Meng After he went out, he treated Lin Meng like a treasure, giving her such a wedding that shook the entire city. Even when Rong Ling's very influential first love came back, she was ultimately defeated by Lin Meng and driven away by Rong Ling. Appealing to her seems promising. However, these people were also hesitant because they knew how they viewed Lin Meng in the past and how they secretly despised her. Now, asking a woman they had ridiculed before was something they couldn't get over internally. Moreover, they also doubted whether Lin Meng truly had that much power to persuade Rong Ling back. What if things didn't work out, and they ended up losing face in front of that woman!

It's better not to go at all!

Some people are shirking responsibility!

"If you don't want to take this road, come up with a better suggestion than mine! Time waits for no one!"

Rong Qi understood those people's petty thoughts and bluntly spoke his mind.

These people all fell silent.

Okay, here goes nothing. Back and forth I go, even if it means humiliation, all for the sake of this vast Rong family, and myself who finds shelter within it.

These seasoned veterans, although sometimes disagreeable in personality, are admirable for their ability to put everything aside at the most crucial moments and wholeheartedly fight for the entire family. This is also why the Rong family has managed to withstand centuries of storms and never fallen.

They decided to find Lin Meng, no matter what. However, the only place they could go was her home. But that house, because people had been sent there several times in rotation, was well-known for its tight security. The gate was firmly shut, and even if they shouted themselves hoarse or danced and yelled, they were likely to be ruthlessly turned away. So, when it came to entering the house, they still needed to come up with a plan.

After much deliberation, they recalled a certain someone, or rather, a small fellow—Rong You. That little guy practically glued himself to Old Master Yan's side every afternoon for martial arts lessons. If they managed to catch him there, encountering the others wouldn't be difficult at all.

Acting on impulse, six people, three men and three women, plus the driver, a total of eight, set off in two cars towards Mr. Yan's residence. Thanks to the friendship between the Rong family and Mr. Yan, the group wasn't stopped upon arrival and went straight to the back garden. As soon as they stepped out the back door, from afar they saw an old man leading two little children practicing martial arts.

Men in Rong's family mostly practiced martial arts. They instantly recognized Rong You after him and instinctively focused their eyes on him. At a glance, the young lad with his small arms and legs was indeed quite similar. Just look at him: he raised his leg, threw a punch, bent down, then punched again, followed by a swift turn, and his calf swept out in a manner like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. The momentum was visible to the naked eye. Where his calf swept, the grass tips underneath clearly tilted their heads.

Great!

Among these six people, Rong Si, who is well-respected within the Rong family's powerful faction, couldn't help but roar in his heart. His sharp eyes gleamed with intensity, like an eagle spotting a fledgling hawk just beginning to show its potential. The Rong family, with those ranked above Rong San—Rong Da and Rong Er—one had died in battle, the other from illness. Now Rong San was trapped, cut off from the outside world. This left Rong Si as the highest-ranking member among those who could move freely. Therefore, whenever someone went to bring back Rong Ling or Lin Meng, Rong Si was always included. Although he rarely spoke, merely acting as a figurehead, in the eyes of the other Rong family members, inviting the highest-ranking person was a sign of our utmost sincerity.

I didn't expect that the person he was dealing with would be like this!

Not only Rong Si, but also the other five people, seeing such a naive and innocent young boy, felt a certain fondness for him in their hearts. Previously, they had few opportunities to see this little guy, and because of Lin Meng, they wouldn't pay special attention to him either. Now that they had made up their minds to ask Lin Meng to accept them, the way they looked at the little guy naturally changed.

Gold will always shine.

A child's character, whether good or bad, is clear to see if you look closely enough.

Watching, because of their arrival, Master Yan stopped teaching and let the two youngsters continue practicing. The youngster was still meticulously continuing to practice when Master Yan turned and walked towards them. His gaze swept over them because of his movements, but his eyes did not blink, and he continued to maintain a cold expression. He just kept going as usual, his actions natural and smooth, still powerful. From this, one could see the strength of his character and the steadiness of his temper. In contrast, the other youngster on the side had already looked at them several times. Compared to each other, there was a difference. Compared to the youngsters of their age in the clan, most of whom were carefree and not serious, they were clearly distinguished.

What a good child!ke nothing more than skin stretched over bone. He frowned, his brows furrowed deeply. Reaching out with a large hand, he squeezed her slender waist, confirming his suspicions - she was much thinner th...
