Chapter 423: Just Letting Ten Billion Go Like That?

“Why so?” Sheng Jian asked. He scrutinized Rong Qi, his eyes oozing with suspicion. “So you’re just going to let ten billion go? Are you more generous than I, Sheng Jian, ever was?”

Rong Qi remained silent, offering no explanation. Holding her treasured item, she coolly turned and walked away.

Watching her aloof departure, Sheng Jian chuckled. “Intriguing,” he mused.

Somehow, Rong Qi was the second woman who’d ever given Sheng Jian the cold shoulder in this world. He lifted his foot and trailed behind her.

Outside Serene Garden, Rong Qi and Xu Yi waited on the ground floor, but there was still no sign of Ye Nanshen. Her brow furrowed, and just as she was about to go upstairs to look for him, Rong Tians.h.i.+ suddenly appeared from around the corner, blocking her path.

Xu Yi squinted his eyes and stepped in front of her, his innate aura of danger making Rong Tians.h.i.+’s hair stand on end.

“Rong Qi, come with me,” Rong Tians.h.i.+ demanded, reaching out to grab her.

Rong Qi gracefully stepped back and said, “Xu Yi, step back.”

Xu Yi retreated.

Rong Qi looked at Rong Tians.h.i.+, her voice steady. “I’ve already said everything that needed to be said to you. Do you have any further instructions?”

“You bought something in there?” Rong Tians.h.i.+ asked. His square face filled with contempt.

Rong Qi found Rong Tians.h.i.+ oddly perturbing. She nodded, still holding the small ceramic piece worth thirty million in her hand.

“How much?”

“Thirty million.”

“Thirty million?!” Rong Tians.h.i.+’s brow twitched, a sudden blaze of fury erupting within him.

Pointing at the ceramic piece in Rong Qi’s hand, he shouted, “You’d rather spend thirty million on this trinket than lend money to save your family? Is this how ungrateful you’ve become, Rong Qi?”

Xu Yi, who had grown weary listening to such words, raised an eyebrow and dug into his ear.

“Mr. Rong, not to be rude, but for a grown man, you really lack responsibility. You can’t unring a bell. Now, Rong Qi belongs to Master Shen. Why do you keep trying to fleece her when you have another daughter at home? Why not marry her off and continue taking advantage?”

“You…what nonsense are you spouting?!” Rong Tians.h.i.+ was so irked by the sarcasm that he turned several shades, struggling to find his words.

For someone like Rong Tians.h.i.+ who prided himself on his face, he couldn’t accept such claims that he married off his daughters to gain power and benefit himself. In his view, he had been more than just to his two daughters.

Moreover, after Rong Qi’s maternal grandfather pa.s.sed away, Rong Tians.h.i.+ took her to the capital to raise her, broadening her horizons. Rong Tians.h.i.+ thought she wouldn’t have achieved her current success if she had stayed in a small city like Jackdom.

Xu Yi smirked, puffing his cheeks to blow a strand of hair from his hand. He said, “I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Taking a deep breath, Rong Tians.h.i.+ said, “Since you’re already aware of the agreement, let’s settle this now. Help me through this crisis, and we’ll be square.”

“To help Rong Holdings overcome the financial crisis?”

“Yes.” Rong Tians.h.i.+ looked at Rong Qi impatiently, his agitation growing.

Knowing Rong Qi had money now and recalling what w.a.n.g Qing said in the morning only bolstered Rong Tians.h.i.+’s belief.

‘Rong Qi would rather squander her fortune than lend me money. It appeared she was determined to sever ties.’ Rong Tians.h.i.+ thought. Irritation swelled within him.

Lowering her eyes, Rong Qi let a small smile creep upon her lips. She said, “If you want to save Rong Holdings, it’s simple. Hand it over to me, and I’ll make sure the family remains unscathed.”

Stunned, Rong Tians.h.i.+ looked at Rong Qi incredulously.. “You want to take advantage of a crisis? What could you, a woman, possibly do with the company? Who’s been putting ideas in your head? Or have you always been coveting your family?”
