Lanny, a gentle and refined young man with a kind face, looked at Feng Linwan without any hostility. He suggested, "My mommy is right. Rong Jingyang's arrival is the key."
Hmph!
As long as Rong Jingyang dared to come, Daddy, he, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother would take turns beating him up!
They would beat him until his internal organs shifted, he spat blood, and collapsed on the ground!
He wouldn't be able to get up for half a year lying in bed!
The men of their Rothschild family were all as strong as warriors, guaranteeing a fair and just one-on-one confrontation.
"It's a misunderstanding," Feng Linwan explained with a wry smile. "Jingyang has something to attend to in Country M and cannot get away."
Lanny asked with a smile, "Is he in trouble? Do you need my help?"
His only goal was for Rong Jingyang to come quickly and get beaten!
How dare he make his sister sad? Without a good beating, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger!
Feng Linwan replied politely, "Thank you, but there's no need to trouble you. Our Rong family can handle it."
What a joke. They were already in the wrong in front of the Rothschild family. If they asked for their help again, how weak would the Rong family appear?
Feng Linwan had lived for decades and had never been looked down upon!

Cristiano and Angus arrived at the study. As soon as the two brothers sat down, Angus asked first, "Eldest Brother, did you find Xin'er a long time ago?"
Although it was a question, he asked it with a tone of certainty.
His eldest brother's reaction today was too calm.
It wasn't like the ruthless eldest brother Angus knew, who could cause global upheaval with a single frown.
Unless, he had already lost his temper.
"Yes," Cristiano nodded, not denying it. "Over a year ago, I saw news about her online and tracked her to E City."
Angus frowned. "Why didn't you bring her back? And Doudou."
Cristiano: "I hadn't figured out how to resolve the conflict between her and Mommy."
For some reason, Angus's eyelid twitched. "What about now? Have you figured it out?"
Cristiano said with a solemn expression, "I will marry her."
Angus: "Pfft—"
Without any warning, he spat out his drink!
"What?!"
"Eldest Brother, you—"
Angus suddenly stood up. "You know perfectly well!" He lowered his voice for the last few words, audible only to the two of them. "Xin'er is our sister!"
"Our biological sister!"
Angus deliberately emphasized the last three words.
Eldest Brother was truly... astonishingly unconventional...
"Xin'er won't agree!"
"Daddy and Mommy won't agree either!"
Cristiano ignored his brother's agitated emotions and elegantly sipped his tea with noble bearing.
This left Angus completely bewildered.
Eldest Brother... seemed... determined to get what he wanted?
He sat back down. Cristiano then slowly said, "Xin'er will agree, and Daddy and Mommy will agree."
Angus disagreed. "What makes you say that?"
Cristiano: "Grandfather and Grandmother were first cousins."
Angus pouted. That was over a hundred years ago. The family now prohibited marriage between close relatives to avoid genetic diseases and deformed children!
"I know," Angus patiently persuaded. "Although Father is normal, among the uncles and aunts, aren't they all intellectually disabled children?"
Be rational, Brother.
Do you want Xin'er to witness such a terrifying scene?
Can you bear it?
"Xin'er and I will not have children," Cristiano said. "The future heirs of the family will be chosen from among Doudou, your children, and Lanny's children."
Angus: "—"
Hearing his eldest brother say this, all the muscles in his face relaxed.
It was as if no amount of words could change his eldest brother's mind.
He felt powerless.
"Eldest Brother..." Angus covered his face with his hands. "Why must you do this..."
Cristiano, however, felt no sadness or sorrow. On the contrary, he felt liberated, a sense of relief as if a burden had been lifted after speaking his mind.
He took a USB drive out of his pocket and placed it in front of Angus. "Tomorrow, help me put on a show."
He was determined to have Xin'er.
No one could stop him.
Anyone who dared to stop him, he would kill.
