Du Ruoxin stared at her phone screen, her mind in a daze.
What did Cristiano want with dozens of people at Yunhu International? Was he planning a brawl?
"Don't get involved."
"I'll come find you tomorrow."
She replied.
Cristiano didn't respond. Just then, Trevor knocked on the door, and the butler came out to greet him.
In front of the Rong family's door, a group of "staff" in cleaning uniforms, some with scissors, some with shovels, some with lawnmowers, some with ladders...
A motley crew!
The butler was stunned by the scene. What was going on?
He hadn't called for landscaping or maintenance workers, so why were so many people here?
Instinctively, he looked at Cristiano.
The butler was no stranger to this wealthy magnate, knowing he was the lady's elder brother and aware of his status.
The butler's tone was stiff as he asked, "Mr. Rothschild, what brings you here?"
Cristiano, hands in his pockets, strode into the Rong family's residence as if it were his own home, saying casually, "Where's Xin'er?"
The butler blocked the entrance. "The Rong family does not welcome you. Please leave."
Cristiano's brow furrowed slightly, and Trevor stepped forward to push the butler aside.
With a Tai Chi move, the butler evaded him.
"Bang!"
The butler slammed the main door shut.
Cristiano let out a contemptuous scoff. Immediately, a "worker" holding a chainsaw sawed through the iron railing, and he brazenly walked into the Rong family villa.
The butler: "————"
What bandits!
"Stop!" the butler shouted, bristling like an angry rooster. "If you take another step, I'm calling the police!"
Cristiano ignored him, pulled out his phone, and called Du Ruoxin as he walked.
Du Ruoxin had also heard the noisy sound of the chainsaw and was feeling anxious when her phone rang.
Her eyes widened instantly.
Steeling herself, she answered her elder brother's call.
"I'm inside. Where are you?" Cristiano asked.
Du Ruoxin was silent for a long time before finding her voice, feeling utterly speechless. "How about you... sit for a while?"
Cristiano's tone rose, "Hmm?"
Du Ruoxin looked up at the ceiling and began to make up an excuse. "I need to put on some makeup and change my clothes."
Cristiano: "————"
Glancing towards the doghouse, he curved his lips slightly and hung up.
Then, he swaggered over and sat on the sofa as if he were the master of the house, imperiously ordering the butler, "Go get me a cup of tea."
The butler rolled his eyes inwardly. This uninvited guest, this little brother, was truly shameless.
With a "humph," he turned and left, deciding it was best not to see.
Exiting the living room, the butler quickly called Feng Linwan.
When Feng Linwan heard that Cristiano was guarding the Rong family's entrance, her expression turned serious. "Hurry, drive faster!"
If Ruoxin were taken away by him, it would be disastrous!
Cristiano, who seemed to revel in chaos, would surely put her impulsive and sharp-tongued son at a disadvantage with him around!
Feng Linwan urgently called Rong Jingyang. Upon learning that he was already on his way back, she urged the driver to speed up.
After calling the lady of the house, the butler called the young master.
Knowing that they were all rushing towards Yunhu International, he finally felt a bit more at ease.
However, looking at the figure in the living room that everyone disliked, he cursed inwardly, then went to the doghouse and earnestly persuaded, "Madam, the lady of the house is back, and the young master is also back. Perhaps we should go out for now?"
Du Ruoxin, hugging Da Mao, stubbornly declared, "I'm not going out! I'll wait for Rong Jingyang here!"
Why should she consider him when he was the one locking her up?
"Rong Jingyang, I can't swallow this insult!"
