g because her son had been injured, and it was imperative for Lin Meng to go visit.But she hadn't expected that Little Mumu was now at her grandfather's house, which was also Rong Sanbo's house. Lin M...Xiao Yi warned her to be careful of Jiang Yancheng's family. Lin Meng didn't understand what he meant, and she questioned Xiao Yi, but he refused to say anything more. However, she felt that when he said those words, his tone was full of meaning, definitely not something he said casually.

"You have something on your mind!" Rong Ling, sitting beside her, suddenly spoke. At this time, he had finished his work at the company and came to pick her up home, now sitting in the car heading back.

"What did Xiao Yi say to you!"

This man's intuition was frighteningly accurate; he immediately grasped the point.

Lin Meng opened her mouth, but finally shook her head, unwilling to speak.

Rong Lingfeng's sharp eyebrows twitched slightly, but he ultimately didn't press further. However, his entire demeanor seemed rather gloomy. She looked at him, somewhat flatteringly, took hold of his hand, and asked him in a low voice.

"Hope things went smoothly at the company today, and Rong Qikeng hasn't been causing trouble again!"

The two little guys also immediately twisted their little heads and pricked up their ears to listen.

Rong Ling let out a soft hum. "He can make a fuss all he wants, it won't amount to much. With San Bo around, those law enforcement officials won't give him any face. I sent him a big gift, and now he has something to keep him busy. However, he hasn't started a fight with the He family, he's actually quite tolerant!"

It would take some extra effort to pay attention to him, lest he be underestimated and lead to our downfall!

In fact, there's no real conflict between Chung and the Ho family. It's just that Mrs. Ho is formidable, and Chung has been unlucky lately, so he had to concede.

From that day on, the moment he heard from Rong Ling that He Ya had conceived a child through stealing sperm, he was furious and wanted to rush to He's house immediately. This matter wouldn't end this way. That night, he waited until his normal work hours ended before going straight to He's house. When he found He Ya, he directly demanded in a harsh voice, "Is the child in your belly conceived through despicable means, using my sperm" Though He Ya tried her best to conceal it and was usually skilled at disguising herself, under Rong Qi's sudden arrival and his unexpectedly aggressive outburst, she inevitably exposed herself. Her eyes flickered rapidly, and her eyelids jumped violently. This subtle change caught Rong Qi's eye, and he immediately exploded.

“Damn woman!” He was furious. In his eyes, the woman in front of him was repulsive. Every inch of her face disgusted him. He hated being deceived above all else. Because of this woman, his relationship with his wife had become strained, but in the end, he had been completely played by her.

He was about to rush over and hit her. Some men just have that ability, for women they've defined as their own, they always resort to violence, showing no mercy.

He Ya immediately screamed and fled. Such a commotion attracted quite a few people. The maids knew that the child in He Ya's belly was precious, absolutely not to be harmed. The old lady had repeatedly warned them to take good care of the mother and child, otherwise, they would face dire consequences. Therefore, feeling immense pressure, the maids rushed over to block her escape, protecting her while one of them hurriedly went to inform Old Madam He.

When Old Mrs. He hurried over, her little feet carrying her fast, she heard Rong Qi knocking around there.

"Get rid of this child, immediately! I never want to see him again!"

Old Mrs. He immediately knew something was wrong. She lowered her head and whispered to her confidante, Ah Mei, telling her to take care of He Ya. Meanwhile, the old woman walked up to Rong Qikeng and fiercely whacked the ground with her cane.

"What are you shouting about, Qǐ Kēng You're the head of the Róng family, for heaven's sake! You're making such a commotion, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you If you have something to say, let's go inside and talk!"

The old woman was incredibly shrewd. She latched onto Rong Qikeng's pride and shame, making him swallow his anger and shut up. He then followed the old woman into the house. The others didn't quite understand what had happened. The servants were swiftly ordered to do their work. Once the door closed, it became a private family affair, something outsiders couldn't possibly know about.

"Well, what's going on!"

The old woman sat down with great dignity, her sharp eyes fixed intently on Rong Qikeng.

Feng Qi, bold and nonchalant, sat down with a sneer, laying out the details of what had transpired.

As for this situation, Old Madam He had long expected it. After all, there's no wall in this world that doesn't leak wind, and Rong Ling is definitely not a merciful person. It was only a matter of time before he exposed the matter. Therefore, the old madam also had her own way of dealing with it.

"Whatever Rong Ling says, you just believe it!" The old woman feigned annoyance, probing Rong Qikeng's attitude.

Rong Qikeng's eyes instantly flashed with a fierce light, his face contorted with great anger.

"Old woman, I have my people. I'll find out, it's just a matter of time. Are you still going to keep this hidden! If I have to find out myself, you know things will be much worse than they are now!"

The old woman had made up her mind. Since things were going to be this way, with half-truths and illusions, both false and true, she might as well speak more freely.

"Indeed, this child was conceived through artificial insemination!"

As soon as he saw her finally admit it, fire ignited in his heart again. He got up abruptly and was about to unleash another tirade, but the old woman beat him to it. She stood up first and shouted loudly.

"Calm down, just listen to me first. When I'm done, you can go ahead and get angry."

This elderly woman, with a slightly hunched figure that barely reached 1.6 meters tall, had lived a life of pampering for years. Her early experiences during the war had given her a rich tapestry of life experiences. Once serious, she possessed an inexplicable aura that could easily command attention. Rong Qikeng looked on, suppressing the anger in his heart, feeling it was worthwhile to listen to this old woman's ramblings and see how she intended to defend herself at this juncture.

The old woman was good at persuading people, and her eloquence was exceptional. This time was no exception.

“To be frank, Rong Qikeng, your mother-in-law has taken a liking to you. You know this in your heart. Even when Rong Ling was still in that position, our family had shown interest in you. Then, by chance, my daughter gave her innocence to you, and your mother-in-law became even more determined—no matter what, she would support you and bring down Rong Ling. I won't go into detail about the feud between our He family and Rong Ling; you should already have a clear understanding in your heart. My daughter truly has feelings for you, and our family also sees potential in you as an outstanding addition to the Rong family—that's why we orchestrated all this! This matter couldn't be kept hidden forever. You know it was only a matter of time. While you might feel embarrassed, this revelation also brings shame upon our He family, yet we still did it. Why It's simply because we truly favor you, and you share a common enemy with us: Rong Ling. We also have high hopes that after a hundred years, the child in my daughter's womb will elevate our He family's business to even greater heights.”

Qi Ke, let me ask you this: for you to be in this position, didn't our family go all out! After you rose to power, didn't our family support you in every way Even when you interfered with the military, didn't our family give you our full backing! Today, I heard that Rong San directly threatened you, implying that at this year's annual meeting, it would be your time to take the top spot. You should think carefully about this. You became angry over this matter and abandoned your child, abandoned our family girl, just like that, cutting ties with our family Then how will you walk the path ahead!

Appealing to both emotion and reason, while also employing a combination of kindness and sternness, that's exactly what Old Lady He was doing. Her words struck Rong Qikeng deeply, causing his heart to race!

He could be ruthless and forget past kindnesses, disregarding any familial obligations. He wouldn't acknowledge them, and that would be the end of it. But to remove Uncle San Rong from his position, he absolutely couldn't do without the help of the He family! You could even say this was Rong Qikeng's Achilles heel, and Grandmother had hit it right on target!

If he turns his back on them today, and if the child is really ruined because of this, it will be a hundred percent embarrassing when word gets out; moreover, the cooperation between He Family and him would probably come to an end altogether. This would be very unfavorable for him right now. He Family has climbed onto Liu’s branch now, the whole family has risen to prominence, enjoying a carefree life, leaving their Rong Family behind, they can still live comfortably. But now the Rong Family cannot do without He Family. With mic company announcing the termination of negotiations today, it is already a question of his ability. If He Family withdraws its investment again, and Rong Family suffers losses in many places, then the people below will definitely be even less convinced by him. Then the annual meeting might really be like what Uncle Three Rong said, time to change people!

This is absolutely not something that should happen!

He wants to stay in this spot, and he wants to sit better than anyone else, longer than anyone else!

At the annual meeting, it is actually Rong Sanbo who will step down, not him!

Therefore, he cannot let his relationship with the He family turn icy! In his eyes now, the He family is a greedy hungry tiger, with boundless desires. However, he has no choice but to bargain with the tiger for its skin. As long as he gets through the year-end conference and secures his position, then that He family will be absolutely crushed by him!

Now, no rush, don't get hasty!

>Great achievers always need to endure what ordinary people cannot!

In just a minute, his mind had gone through twists and turns. Having made up his decision, the anger on his face subsided somewhat, but he needed to let the He family know that he, the head of the Rong family, was not someone to be bullied. This matter couldn't be resolved with just words!

"Grandma, you're right about that, but I'm still angry. You know, as a man, it's hard to swallow this!"

This tone is not as aggressive anymore. When Old Lady He heard this, she felt relieved and knew that the situation was under control. What they needed now was just some comfort and compensation.

"This matter, it is our family who made a mistake. You are angry, and it is understandable to say so. So, I will transfer 1% of my shares to you!"

Wong Kei suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. This was no small sum of money. Considering the current prosperous state of the Ho family's industry, this one million was a substantial amount. Even He Ya, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise.

"Grandma!"

The old woman didn't pay him any mind, a faint smile playing on her lips as she continued, "Actually, all these things in my hands are meant for the child growing in this little one's belly. That's your grandson after all, he belongs to our family."

Rong Qikeng was startled. What did the old woman mean by this...

He forced himself to look away, not daring to stare at the child growing in He Ya's belly.

The old woman said again, but her voice was much lower. “There’s just one thing, Qikeng. Today’s matter, let’s just stop here. Once we leave, we stick to the same story. This child is truly legitimate. That kid Rong Ling has ulterior motives; we absolutely can’t fall for his trap and be manipulated by him. In the end, we don't want to become a joke for him. He suddenly became the CEO of Shuangmu, he's probably going to bring up old scores. Right now, we should band together even more. Don’t you think that’s what we should do!”

Rong Qi keng thought for a moment, then nodded.

“That’s it for today!” He spoke in a low voice, his response not very smooth, showing that he was still angry. However, he was satisfied with the result of today. After taking Grandma He's 1% shares and some scattered shares he had secretly acquired, his control over the He family would gradually increase. If this old lady died and gave the almost 20% shares to He Ya's child in her belly, he would really make a fortune. At that time, the child was still young, and as the father, he fully had the ability to manage those shares on behalf of the child before the child came of age. By then, adding He Ya's share, no one in the He family could rival him. This He family would become Rong Qinkeng's private property in disguise.

Thinking this, Rong Qikeng's heart finally felt a touch of joy. And just like that, the matter was put to rest. He got up and left.

After he had really left, He Ya couldn't sit still.

Grandma, are you serious about what you just said!

Grandma He laughed. "Of course it's true!"

He Ya bit her lip, a look of pure joy on her face. But after a while, worry crept in. "Grandma," she said, "isn't that a little too much The uncles and aunts might be unhappy!"

The old woman snorted, looking completely domineering.

“This is mine, I give it to whoever I want. What if your uncles and aunts are unhappy! But——” she changed her tone, walked over and grabbed He Ya's hand, squeezing it hard. “As for this shareholding matter, today only you, me, and Rong Qikeng know about it. You must not tell anyone else, lest trouble arises before your child is even born. Mei, just be a witness!”

Over there, the loyal old servant Amei responded with a sound, and He Ya became even more overjoyed. She naturally promised that she would never tell anyone else. This matter of shares cannot be taken lightly. As someone who lives in a wealthy family, she naturally knows that some people have hearts hidden deep within their bellies, and there are also cases where brothers turn against each other for money. Before the child is born, it is the most vulnerable, so she naturally has to work hard to keep this secret safe.

Smiling, she thanked Old Madam He and then acted spoiled for a while longer, making the old woman laugh nonstop. Afterward, she was helped back to her room by Ah Mei.

Old Mrs. He watched as one by one, they left. Only then did she retract her smile, a weariness settling on her face, allowing the skin to sag like tree bark in winter, cracked and peeling, with deep furrows.

Each and every one of these is a headache!

The old woman cursed inwardly, hating Rong Ling's meddling and Qi Kong's greed. Saying she would leave the shares to her unborn great-grandson was just a delaying tactic. If she hadn't said that, Rong Qi Kong might have found a way to get rid of the child. For this child, the He family had put in so much effort, they absolutely had to see him born safely and grow up safely. Besides, He Ya, that girl, was also troublesome. Today, as soon as she heard that Rong Ling became the president of Shuang Mu, her expression was off. She probably resented this old woman again and turned her thoughts back to Rong Ling.

She must soothe that little girl's heart!

At this point, if that girl stirs up trouble again, even if she tries to seduce Rong Qikeng again, he'd turn his face on her!

She only hated that Heaven was too kind to Rong Ling. He was already fine, yet he seemed to be beaming once more, and ascended again. She also hated that she had spoiled that girl too much in the past. Now that she needed her, she couldn't tell what was important.

Now, I can only appease these young people with what I have. Once we get past this hurdle and pull Rong San down from his position, everything will be fine. When that time comes, with no one in the court to oppose me, dealing with Rong Ling will be like swatting a fly!

The old woman gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming ominously.

Thinking again, she ordered the servant to call Li Yi-ping and Li Lan-qiu over. Li Lan-qiu was Rong Ling's old lover; keeping her in this house was a hazard. Who knows what orders that woman had received from Rong Ling behind the scenes It would be better to get rid of her sooner rather than later!
