Chapter 259: Chapter 259
Jiang Gujun’s unexpected confrontation caught Gao Xiaoguang and the others off-guard.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you saying," Liu Fang forced a smile, eyes slightly evasive, still refusing to admit, "What thing, we can’t understand what you’re saying. Jiazze just came back, we’re not close, we didn’t expect him to run away from home."
Jiang Gujun didn’t want to argue with these two, he simply played the recording of what Rong Jiazze said, and Song Yue placed the printed documents on the table while the opposite television played a video.
The gambling table was noisy, the shouting never stopped. Gao Xiaoguang’s excited figure wasn’t much noticeable in the crowd, but when highlighted, it was particularly obvious.
Rong Zhi tossed the phone onto the table, precisely at the moment the scene was playing on the television.
Gao Xiaoguang’s face instantly turned pale, standing there dumbfoundedly, pupils slightly enlarged, his face showing an expression of ’how could this be.’
He couldn’t believe that a video of him gambling would appear here.
His eyes fell on the documents spread out on the table, seeing the recent photos of his daughter sent to a relative’s home, his emotions collapsed further.
"You should be grateful you have some relation to Jiazze," Jiang Gujun’s voice was cold, with a hint of sarcastic skinning, "Otherwise, standing here alive would already be a question."
One or two really think they are easy to bully.
During the time when Young Master Jiang was struggling and fighting on Shengge Island, the blood on his hands was more than the water on the two of them combined.
After reprimanding Gao Xiaoguang and the others, Rong Zhi slowly leaned back, under the light, her brows and eyes seemed wrapped in a thin layer of ice, exuding an indifferent apathy, calmly saying: "Jiazze will stay here temporarily, I’ll give you two days to come up with the money."
She casually waved two slender, cold white fingers.
Gao Xiaoguang felt a chill run down his scalp from her look.
The atmosphere was slightly eerie.
Liu Fang was extremely embarrassed, paused for a long time, then pulled at Gao Xiaoguang’s sleeve to yank him back abruptly.
The prior prepared statements meant to morally blackmail using Rong Jiazze became futile after the video was shown.
As joyful as they arrived, they left just as humiliated. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
The villa door slammed shut violently as they stepped out.
Rong Jiazze didn’t so much as glance at them from start to finish.
Turning around to look at the elegant and grand villa, the couple couldn’t suppress their shivers, needing each other’s support to leave the place.
If information was as easy to check as they wanted, and videos available whenever, they never would have entertained such thoughts, knowing the adopting family’s influential background.
Having now provoked those they shouldn’t have, they didn’t even know how they’d die.
Rong Jiazze hugged a cushion, his face full of melancholy, clutching his legs, biting into a cherry served by Jiang Gujun, and gloomily said: "Brother Gujun, am I too cold-hearted?"
If really forced to choose, he would undoubtedly choose Rong Zhi without hesitation.
It’s his brother who saved him from that abyssal hell, who gave him food, warmth, care, and affection. He could not betray his benefactor for the sake of his parents.
But Gao Xiaoguang and Liu Fang are blood-related relatives.
Every part of him would hurt no matter what decision he made.
Rong Jiazze felt a sourness in his heart, an unbearable heaviness.
Jiang Gujun patted the young boy’s head, chuckling lightly: "Of course not."
"They are adults, they understand whether what they’re doing is right or wrong, you just followed your heart and chose what you knew to be the right choice, there’s nothing wrong with that."
"Or," he pointed teasingly at Rong Zhi, who was playing with her phone: "do you intend to ask your brother for money on their behalf?"
"Absolutely not!" Rong Jiazze rejected without a second thought.
Jiang Gujun rewarded him with another cherry, snapped his fingers, and smiled: "There you go."
Rong Jiazze bit into the sweet and sour fruit in his mouth, and nodded with pursed lips.
Having been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, Ying Yunlin’s roast chicken finally came out of the oven. Bai Su, having had a good sleep, came downstairs to take over cooking duties.
Seeing everyone nearly gathered, Rong Zhi texted Fu Yaoyao to invite her over for dinner, then went to her room to rest.
Previously complaining about the Engineering College folks who never sleep, she ended up working day and night herself, with Liu Yue Zhang and Lu Si losing several pounds from all the exhaustion, begging for mercy.
After a shower, as soon as Rong Zhi hit the bed, wrapped in the blanket, she quickly fell asleep. Upon waking, the sky outside was already filled with stars, the moonlight trickling through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Her throat itched a little, covering her mouth, she coughed lightly, the room door immediately opened, and a man’s deep, rich voice resonated through the blanket.
She slowly shifted to the edge of the bed, nearly rolling off with the blanket, but a pair of slender yet strong arms caught the "dumpling" steadily.
Too sleepy to want to do anything but continue sleeping.
The weightlessness cleared her head a bit.
Bai Su carried the ’dumpling’ named Rong Zhi back to the bed, gently massaging her temples with light pressure, fingers searching for the acupuncture points on her scalp.
While massaging, he asked: "Is the young master satisfied?"
His lazy and gentle tone was teasing, as if they were engaged in some improper service.
Rong Zhi lazily opened her eyes, voice calm in appraisal: "Not bad."
Bai Su sighed softly: "Alright, I’ll strive to satisfy you next time."
What could possibly be wrong with having a medical student girlfriend?
Probably just that his hard-practiced massage techniques were subpar, and he couldn’t argue when criticized.
After all, his girlfriend was truly amazing.
Rong Zhi didn’t lie in bed long, after a little while she got up to wash up. Upon going downstairs, she heard laughter coming from the dining room, so she bypassed the living room to find the dining table filled with people.
Jiang Gujun and Ying Yunlin were discussing how to divide up the roast chicken, while Fu Yaoyao slapped Yuan Xiyao’s hand away, her eyebrows raised high: "The senior sister isn’t even down yet, don’t touch."
What did he even do??
Was this woman deliberately trying to stir trouble for him??
Rong Zhi was surprised to see Yuan Xiyao there too, she entered the dining room and held Fu Yaoyao down just as she was about to storm out because of Yuan Xiyao’s expression, her thin lips curled into a faint smile, "Let’s eat."
"Senior Sister!" Fu Yaoyao turned around and hugged the teenager’s slender waist, then squeezed it slightly with a curious hum, frowning, "Isn’t Bai Su feeding you? Why does your waist seem even thinner?"
Saying this, her hand moved upward.
Before she could touch anything, her arms were instantly empty.
Fu Yaoyao blinked in surprise, then looked up to meet Bai Su’s infuriatingly handsome face, her anger rising faster than before: "You dog, let go of my senior sister!"
Bai Su not only refused to let go but also shot her a slightly challenging glance, uttered a nonchalant "oh," then turned to sit the teenager down next to him.
She was going to kill this dog-man who took her senior sister away!!
Just as the sweet and innocent girl was about to explode, Yuan Xiyao hurriedly pulled her back, cautiously persuading: "Hey ancestor, calm down, we’re about to eat, can you act up after the meal?"
He hadn’t eaten for a long time, he was starving.
The next second, a chicken drumstick was pressed against her lips.
Rong Zhi maintained the pose, her voice husky and gently coaxing: "Be good, eat."
Fu Yaoyao blinked her eyes, took the drumstick into her mouth, and then sweetly smiled: "As expected, senior sister loves me the most~"
