"?"
Young man, you have a big mouth!
Having lived for fifty years, Rong Jianchen had never been threatened like this before.
He laughed, amused by this brash, reckless young man, "Do you mean that the Rothschild family and the Rong family are enemies from today onwards?"
"Or, are you looking for a fight to the death?"
Cristiano shook his head, his wicked eyes radiating a fierce glint, "The ones who will be annihilated will only be your Rongs."
"Heh!" Rong Jianchen sneered.
It seemed there was nothing more to discuss. He stood up, his tone no longer pleasant, "Then let's see who has the upper hand in business. Will it be your Rothschild family that disappears, or mine?"
Cristiano was as cold as a butcher, "Shall we try?"
He walked out of the living room and called Du Ruoxin, his voice laced with a chilling tone, "Three minutes. Come down."
Du Ruoxin's heart skipped a beat. Her elder brother's tone was so bad. Had he gotten into a fight with her mother-in-law or father-in-law?
Without further thought, she grabbed a paperweight, smashed the glass, and leaped out.
"Ah—"
A group of servants watched their young madam jump from the building, filled with dread.
Even though it was only the second floor,
Du Ruoxin executed an aerial somersault, landing perfectly and safely on the ground.
Cristiano walked out of the entrance, one hand in his pocket. Suddenly, he heard the sound of breaking glass from the second floor. He was startled and quickened his pace.
Du Ruoxin had jumped! He hadn't managed to catch her!
Cristiano's face was grim as he pulled her into his arms, "Who told you to jump!"
If she got hurt anywhere, he would make the Rong family bleed!
Du Ruoxin hadn't recovered from the dizziness yet and was inexplicably yelled at. She felt wronged, "Didn't you tell me to come down?"
Cristiano froze. "I said three minutes. I didn't tell you to jump!"
Du Ruoxin: "..."
So difficult to please. He'd be angry whether she came down or not.
When Feng Linwan and Rong Jianchen came out, they saw their daughter-in-law and Cristiano embracing, their faces immediately changing.
"Ruoxin!"
Du Ruoxin flinched in shock, but she couldn't break free from her elder brother's grip. "Brother, this isn't right... Can you..."
Cristiano seemed not to notice her pleading gaze and pulled her towards the exit.
Du Ruoxin pouted, and for some reason, she began to feel a sense of dread.
"Cristino!"
Feng Linwan roared, and several bodyguards rushed forward, surrounding Du Ruoxin and Cristiano.
"Let go of Ruoxin!"
Otherwise, he would be carried out horizontally if he came in vertically today!
Du Ruoxin's scalp was about to explode. She shouldn't have come to see Doudou, and she definitely shouldn't have held onto the slim hope that her elder brother would communicate with the Rong family amicably.
"Mom, you've misunderstood." Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, she couldn't care less and quickly explained, "He's my brother, I..."
Cristiano tightened his grip on her hand.
Ah—
He was hurting her.
Du Ruoxin had no choice but to swallow the words "my own brother."
Feng Linwan: ...Brother?
Rong Jianchen: "..."
"My brother is angry that I didn't inform him about my marriage and about Doudou's birth..."
Cristiano had no intention of listening to her fabricated story, nor did he care what the Rong family thought.
Whether it was a brawl or a fierce confrontation,
He pulled her and walked directly towards the approaching car.
The Rong family bodyguards were stunned by the man's powerful aura, which felt like a terrifying force capable of destroying the world. As he walked, they retreated.
Coupled with Du Ruoxin's words, and the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Rong had not given further orders,
No one dared to step forward to stop them, nor did anyone dare to make the first move.
As they reached the car, Cristiano kicked away two bodyguards blocking his path and shoved Du Ruoxin into the back seat.
Du Ruoxin had to stick her head out, "Mom, I'll explain later."
Feng Linwan looked at the car that was about to leave, then at her husband.
She hadn't heard the conversation between Rong Jianchen and Cristiano earlier and didn't know what they had discussed.
However, Rong Jianchen's dark eyes merely dimmed, and he remained silent.
Feng Linwan was anxious. The car had already driven off. If they couldn't stop it before it reached the gate, they—
"Chen, say something!"
Rong Jianchen shook his head, sighed, and finally waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to clear the way.
Turning around, he said helplessly, "Rong Jingyang's wife is his own affair. Let him come back and chase her himself."
Du Ruoxin wanted a divorce, Rong Jingyang's mind was not on Du Ruoxin, and now Cristiano had inserted himself into the situation.
Rong Jianchen picked up the divorce agreement to review it, but immediately, his expression turned from dark to darker.
This representative of the Rothschild family had a big appetite. Not only did he want custody of Doudou, but he also wanted 30% of Rong Corporation's shares.
He took out his phone and dialed his son's number.
"Your wife is a daughter of the Rothschild family. Do you know that?"
Rong Jingyang, who had just arrived in Europe after a twenty-hour flight and immediately boarded another plane to fly back to Country A: "..."
His mind went blank for a moment, "What?"
Rong Jianchen said with a commanding presence, "It seems this marriage of yours must be divorced, whether you want it or not." He paused, emphasizing his words, "Be prepared to give Du Ruoxin 30% of Rong Corporation's shares."
Rong Jingyang: "————"
He remained in a daze until the dial tone of the hung-up call faded.
Du Ruoxin...
Wasn't she just an ordinary orphan with no background?
Although she was a bit intelligent and sweet-mouthed, but—
Even now, Rong Jingyang couldn't understand why his mother, who was so picky and strived for perfection, had chosen Du Ruoxin as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rong family for him.
There were countless women pursuing him. Among his close family friends, there were many daughters from equally matched families, daughters of officials, and women from scholarly backgrounds.
But his mother only liked Du Ruoxin.
Even though he still had no feelings for her, his mother was extremely anxious, afraid that if she was a second late, Du Ruoxin would be snatched away by another man, and she forcefully pushed her onto him.
In the past, his mother had urged him to find a girlfriend, but each time, it was based on his feelings.
As long as he shook his head and said he didn't like someone, his mother would give up.
Only Du Ruoxin.
His mother didn't ask for his opinion; she directly forced her on him and had them get their marriage certificates.
【Divorce?】
【Du Ruoxin, don't even think about it!】
Regardless of her identity, no matter where she went, unless she died, he would never let her go.
