What was meant by "other people's business"?
That was her brother!
Her own brother!
And Clara was carrying a life, the eldest son and grandson of the Rothschild family!
How could she stand by and do nothing?
Du Ruoxin was angered by the man's nonsensical words, her breathing becoming rapid. "Mr. Rong, he is not just anyone, he is my brother."
Rong Jingyang let out a cold laugh. "Brother?" His questioning gaze was filled with mockery. "Are you?"
Cristiano's possessiveness and love for Du Ruoxin were known throughout the world.
Yet she claimed they were siblings?
"Du Ruoxin, don't tell me that his protection of you, his possessiveness, is the attitude a brother should have."
That day, she lay beneath Cristiano...
Rong Jingyang had always forbidden himself from thinking about that scene, but that didn't mean he had forgotten.
The bone-deep hatred of betrayal and having his legs broken, no matter when he thought of it, could make him lose his mind.
If he hadn't known Du Ruoxin feared Cristiano, if he hadn't deeply understood Du Ruoxin's unyielding nature, if he hadn't known Cristiano did that precisely to provoke him.
As soon as Rong Jingyang woke up, he would have directly sent someone to kill Cristiano, instead of painstakingly dealing with him.
Rong Jingyang knew that the way to defeat a proud man was through one thing – causing his commercial empire to collapse and disintegrate.
Although the Rothschild family was vast, Cristiano was not without weaknesses.
As long as he used Du Ruoxin as a pawn, Rong Jingyang could completely turn the Rothschild family upside down.
The revenge for his broken legs would not go unpunished, it was just not the right time.
Therefore, he chose to suppress the scene from a year ago.
"I—" Du Ruoxin was speechless. She couldn't possibly defend her elder brother's feelings for her.
But he was him, and she was her.
He wanted to be her partner, but she didn't!
Entangling with another man's feelings for her while with her own husband was hardly a wise move.
Du Ruoxin thought for a moment, trying to persuade him. "Mr. Rong, Clara is carrying a life, a living little life. I cannot just watch her die."
"Besides, having a child creates a bond."
"If Clara and Cristiano deepen their feelings because of the child, wouldn't that be good?"
Then her elder brother's obsession would disappear.
Everyone would be happy!
Rong Jingyang: "…………"
Woman, you are truly foolishly naive!
But although his eyes were filled with disdain, he did not say anything hurtful.
Rong Jingyang led Du Ruoxin to the table and glanced at the more than a dozen bottles of red wine placed on the side. He said, "Drink it all, and I'll let you leave."
—
As Cristiano uttered a word, the signal suddenly cut off.
"Hmm?" He frowned and pressed Du Ruoxin's number, dialing back.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later..."
Cristiano put away his phone, his blue eyes becoming even more somber. Was Rong Jingyang preventing her from calling?
In the past few days, he had ordered people to disrupt Rong Jingyang's overseas projects, thinking that Rong Jingyang would leave City E and neglect Du Ruoxin.
Who knew that Rong Jingyang would just send his assistant to handle it.
Cristiano was contemplating other methods when he learned that Clara had gone to find Du Ruoxin.
He was furious.
Regardless of her intentions, or any hidden agenda, Cristiano had zero tolerance.
The Rolls-Royce business car drove through the bustling streets. Outside the window, the lights were brilliant. It was already late at night, but the streets on both sides were prosperous and lively.
This was a big city, the charm of having many people.
Cristiano stared at the pedestrians outside the window, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
【Rong Jingyang—】
【I'll give you a little more time to be arrogant.】
【When Xin'er despairs of you, that will be your death day!】
