1025 Your Bias Hurt Us
The old man heard Hua Qingmei begging for mercy.
Not only did he not feel any sympathy for her, he was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack.
He resisted the urge to kick Hua Qingmei away and asked her, “What does hurting and slandering Liangliang have to do with whether you have money to fill the hole?”
Hua Qingmei didn’t say anything and just sobbed.
Rong Linyi’s voice was as cold as ice. Even though he was blind, there was a chilling glint in his eyes. “Of course it’s related. Liangliang’s reputation concerns the Rong Family and the Rong Family’s share price. Grandfather, you probably don’t know this, but Second Uncle’s family invested a lot of money in the stock market, waiting for the share price to rise so that they could make a profit. But if the share price doesn’t rise, what should we do? Then we might as well let the share price fall again and again. As long as it falls to a certain point, I won’t be able to hold myself back from saving the market. Even if I don’t, Grandfather, you won’t be able to bear it, right?”
“Is... is it like this?” Grandfather Rong asked Hua Qingmei in a trembling voice.
Hua Qingmei lowered her head, but it was clear that she silently agreed with this statement.
Old Master finally couldn’t take it anymore.
He kicked Hua Qingmei to the ground. “Get lost! Our Rong family doesn’t need a heartless thing like you! I must be blind to have protected you in the past! Get lost! Butler, pack up this woman’s things and get her out!”
“Dad, Dad, don’t do this to me...” Hua Qingmei was on the verge of crying. “Dad, I’ve given birth to two sons for the Rong family. No matter what my motive is, it’s for our children...”
“You pushed them down the stairs because you cared for them? Hua Qingmei, Hua Qingmei, no wonder Xiaosong didn’t like you back then. Even wild beasts aren’t as vicious as you. If the Rong family doesn’t want a daughter-in-law like you, you can go back to where you came from!”
Old Master Rong’s heart sank.
In the past, he also knew that Hua Qingmei had some evil intentions, but he only treated it as a woman’s jealousy and competitiveness.
Besides, what she did was to gain more benefits for her son.
Hence, Old Master turned a blind eye to her actions.
But... hurting his most beloved great-granchildren, first Liangliang, and then Xiaogong. Such behavior undoubtedly touched his bottom line.
Hua Qingmei’s cries quickly alerted the rest of the Rong Family.
Rong Xinming had just returned from the hospital not long ago. When he heard about this, he could not help but plead with the Old Master. “Grandpa, Mom’s actions are indeed overboard, but she’s still my mother after all... If it weren’t for the fact that the main branch asked our second branch to give us such a large sum of money, my mother wouldn’t have been forced into a corner and even laid her hands on her own grandson. You’ve seen how much she dotes on Xiaogong and Xiaoming.”
This explanation was exactly the same as Hua Qingmei’s.
He was so angry that he waved his hands repeatedly and said angrily, “Good! Good! You two are indeed mother and son. Even your way of thinking is exactly the same. It seems like my heartache for my grandson is still wrong! That’s good too. In the future, your second branch will live your own lives! Even if your mother kills your son, it’s none of my business! The Rong Family will no longer have anything to do with your second branch!”
When Hua Qingmei and Rong Xinming heard this, they both panicked.
“Grandpa, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was...” Rong Xinming gritted his teeth. “The root of everything lies with the eldest branch! We’re a family, yet they want to scheme against us, even blaming us for the previous stock price drop! Grandpa, you only blame us for being unscrupulous. Have you ever thought that it was all because of your bias that we got to where we are today?!”
