54 -54: Going to See His Family
“Grandfather, did you want to see me about something?”
An aged and authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone, “You haven’t been back for a while now.”
Rong Shaoze raised an eyebrow, “Grandfather, what exactly are you trying to say?
Do you want me to return?”
“It’s the weekend tomorrow, and you should bring your wife home for a meal.
You’ve been married for nearly a month, why haven’t you brought her to see us?”
Rong Shaoze paused for a moment, then nodded, “I understand, I’ll bring her over tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Rong Shaoze sat on the sofa, lighting up a cigarette and smoking in silence.
His grandfather’s sudden request for him to bring Lin Xinlan back definitely meant he had some plan in mind.
In reality, the wife he acknowledged was Du Ruoxin.
If his grandfather acknowledged Lin Xinlan, he didn’t even know how he would explain it to Ruoxin afterwards.
After crushing the cigarette into the ashtray, he decided to take one step at a time.
After all, Lin Xinlan was only his temporary wife, not a permanent one.
When Lin Xinlan heard from Rong Shaoze that she would have to go back with him to meet his family tomorrow, she became very nervous.
She and Rong Shaoze had a marriage contract, which was not a real marriage in the true sense.
The thought of meeting his family felt inappropriate to her.
In her view, a woman meeting a man’s family signified his acceptance of her, and if his family accepted her too, then she would become the potential daughter-in-law of that family.
Rong Shaoze bringing her home, did that mean he accepted her?
Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in horror, and she hurriedly shook her head at him, “I don’t want to go.
Why do I have to meet your family?
Our marriage doesn’t count, why are you taking me to your home?”
Rong Shaoze knew she had misunderstood.
Seeing her act as if she was trying to avoid him at all costs, he really wanted to tell her that he also didn’t want to bring her there!
“What are you worried about?
Do you think I have really accepted you?
I can tell you now that the purpose of marrying you was to show my family.
You’d better behave well tomorrow, or don’t blame me for being unkind to you!” he said coldly, then turned and walked away, exuding an air of irritation.
It was with Lin Xinlan that he had repeatedly tasted the frustration of defeat.
All the things that he took pride in seemed to hold no attraction for her.
This had dealt a not insignificant blow to his ego.
However, he wasn’t a child and certainly wasn’t going to try hard to get her to like him just because she didn’t like him.
Whether others liked him or not wasn’t important to him, but he was truly irked by Lin Xinlan’s constant desire to escape from him.
It seemed that from the moment they met, she had been cold and distant towards him, even harboring a faintly discernible hostility.
He truly couldn’t understand why she felt hostile towards him…
Lao Gu had worked for the Rong family for many years and had always been responsible for taking care of Rong Shaoze.
She was very capable at managing affairs between wealthy families.
Under Rong Shaoze’s orders, she had prepared clothes and jewelry for Lin Xinlan, taught her some etiquette, and broadly explained the situation of the Rong family to her.
They quickly arrived at the Rong family’s old mansion, escorted by several bodyguards in Rong Shaoze’s dazzling Lamborghini.
It was an old house with a bit of history, large and quaint at first glance.
As the iron gate opened, rows of servants in white uniforms stood on each side.
Under their watchful eyes, the car slowly drove into the mansion.
Stepping out of the car, Lin Xinlan subconsciously looked towards Rong Shaoze.
The man gestured to her faintly, “Come here and hook your arm in mine.”
Understanding, she stepped forward and hooked her arm in his, and together they walked into the hall.
Unlike the quaint exterior, the interior furnishings were lavish and exquisite, glittering everywhere.
One glance and there was too much to take in.
But Lin Xinlan didn’t show any surprise, as luxury goods held no interest for her; she was only concerned about how soon she could leave.
