Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Chapter 974: Chapter 678: Then You Should Be Grateful I’m Just a Businessman

Perhaps, he was also thinking, that after all these years, considering Yin Shixiu as a rival rather than a friend, using some improper means to compete rather than openly matching strength... does it really have any meaning.

Perhaps, he was also thinking...

Is it more cost-effective to continue fighting, to take a shot in court, or just admit defeat and accept the three conditions put forward by him...

Perhaps...

"Did they really kneel?"

Su Xiaomeng waited anxiously for Rong Jing’s response, only to be met with a bland question from Rong Jing after half a day’s wait, seemingly not a question appropriate for the current moment...

Yin Shixiu looked quietly at Rong Jing,

"Your mother knelt for a full two minutes, and as Mr. Rong was about to kneel, I stopped him."

"..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Rong Jing’s eyes, and after that hint passed, the only thing left in his beautiful eyes was the glistening of unshed tears.

Rong Jing turned his head away, his eyes hidden under the shadow of his slightly long bangs.

It was the first time Su Xiaomeng saw on Rong Jing’s face, besides those cunning, sly, angry, proud, rebellious expressions that made her annoy him, a glimpse of an unknown side of this man she couldn’t stand.

Quite... refreshing.

"Did they agree?"

Rong Jing asked again, still with his head turned, and Su Xiaomeng heard the slight choke hidden in that simple question.

"They agreed, without any hesitation."

Yin Shixiu answered candidly.

Rong Jing raised his hand and casually wiped his face, trying to cover up the tears that unintentionally spilled over in front of them.

However...

There was still a tear that fell directly from his eye, too late for his hand to cover.

"Rong Jing, you actually know how to cry?"

Su Xiaomeng suddenly spoke, with a teasing tone in her words.

Rong Jing sniffed, meeting Su Xiaomeng’s slightly reddened eyes, her charming face with a smile that wasn’t mocking, but rather seemed to give him a step down to ease his embarrassment.

For a moment, Rong Jing felt a mix of emotions.

He lazily leaned on the chair, tilted his head to look at Su Xiaomeng, curled his lips,

"Su Xiaomeng, you are strange... In front of the national media, you were ruthless and gave me no way to step down, how come you seem so soft-hearted now?"

"What’s so strange about it? Just that I can understand how you feel right now..."

"Can you?"

Rong Jing asked mockingly.

"Of course, when you suffer grievances, it’s not real grievance, but if your parents suffer grievances because of you, that’s true grievance."

"..."

"I didn’t expect President Rong to be a man of feelings too..."

Su Xiaomeng’s words were laced with a hint of sarcasm.

Though sarcastic, it wasn’t too harsh.

"You still call me President Rong? Soon I won’t be that..."

Rong Jing sighed and said,

"They call it a merger nicely, but actually it’s just the Yin Family’s unilateral acquisition of the Rong Family..."

Yin Shixiu didn’t speak, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Brother Shixiu, you truly are a businessman to the core..."

"Then you should be glad, at least I’m just a businessman."

"..."

Maybe, some things are destined early on.

He always thought he was one step away from catching up with Yin Shixiu, always thought he was just one step away from winning over Yin Shixiu...

Always so self-assured...

Rong Jing got up and walked to the door, swaying as he passed by Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu,

"I agree to the three conditions. Help me tell my parents that no one has treated me badly."

After speaking, a police officer opened the door for him and took him back to the detention room.

Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu,

"You’re giving him a chance..."

"One of the Yin Family or Rong Family has to give in."

"..."

"Otherwise, with the blood bravery flowing in the Rong Family, in another decade or two, what happened to us today could happen to Shuang’er, Huang’er..."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat.

"Who would have thought the seeds of trouble sown fifteen years ago by Wu Rong, would suddenly sprout fifteen years later when his career was thriving?"

Yin Shixiu held Su Xiaomeng’s hand,

"Under the lesson of blood, there has to be some change, right?"

"You always think further and deeper than I do..."

Su Xiaomeng stood up, and pushed Yin Shixiu’s wheelchair out.

Bai Sidong, on the other hand, didn’t participate in their meeting with Rong Jing. When they came out, Bai Sidong was receiving a report from his subordinate.

"Is it done?"

Bai Sidong interrupted his subordinate’s report to ask Su Xiaomeng directly.
