Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Chapter 993: Chapter 683: Rong Jing’s Choice, the Smallest Price

Yin Shixiu watched as Su Xiaomeng got through on the phone and, looking quite serious, actually told Bai Sidong to pass the message on to Rong Jing.

When she hung up and turned back, Yin Shixiu propped his chin on his hand and looked at her, his eyes full of laughter.

Su Xiaomeng shot him a glance.

"What are you laughing at? Rong Jing suddenly showing such lofty ideological awareness is really not like him. I’m just being cautious, so he doesn’t go back on his word later. If he does, I’m not acknowledging it."

Yin Shixiu just smiled and said nothing.

Being stared at like that by him made Su Xiaomeng’s heart prickle with unease. Her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly said,

"Is there something you’re not telling me? Does he have other conditions?"

"No, no conditions."

"..."

"Rong Jing is someone who can read the situation clearly."

As he spoke, Yin Shixiu maneuvered his wheelchair with the remote, stopping in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the not-so-smooth traffic in the city center.

After a night of sudden violent Wind and Rain, Beijing had abruptly taken on a bleak touch of autumn.

"Rong Si is already old; Rong Jing is still young. Rong Jing is indeed an informed party and indirect participant in the Tianjin Port kidnapping case. Right now his parents can kneel in front of us to protect him... but what about later?"

"...What do you mean? He’s afraid we’ll use this against him again?"

Su Xiaomeng quickly said,

"Seriously? Rong Jing really is judging others by his own petty standards!"

"These days, what petty man actually admits he’s a petty man? Who’s a gentleman and who’s a scoundrel... it’s really hard to tell."

"..."

"Now he’s submitted to the law and pled guilty, and along the way he’s agreed to the Yin Family’s terms for acquiring the Rong Family. At most he’ll get two or three years. After two or three years, once he’s out, he can make a comeback."

"...A comeback? Just to guard against us breaking our word?"

"Meng Meng, do you think Rong Jing was only dragged into the Tianjin Port kidnapping?"

"..."

With that hint from Yin Shixiu, Su Xiaomeng immediately caught on!

"I get it... there’s also Rong Group..."

"He already knows Deng Wei is Wu Rong’s younger brother, and Deng Wei is also his father’s trusted aide. You can imagine how well Deng Wei knows the Rong Family. Even if we don’t use the kidnapping case to prosecute Rong Jing... at this point Rong Group has already fallen squarely under the prosecution’s gaze."

"He wants to use the smallest price to help the Rong Family get through the current crisis..."

Su Xiaomeng muttered.

Not to help Rong Jing get through the crisis, nor just Rong Group, but to help the Rong Family get through this crisis.

"Exactly. Once the Yin Family acquires Rong Group, the entire Rong Family will be reshuffled from top to bottom, and all the incriminating inside information Deng Wei holds against them will lose its power as leverage. Two years, three years later... Rong Jing can build another ’Rong Family’ from scratch."

Listening to this, Su Xiaomeng actually found herself feeling a bit of admiration for the Rong Family’s eldest young master.

Rong Jing... was also someone willing to lie low and swallow humiliation for the greater goal.

"Tsk tsk, Su Xiaomeng... what kind of expression is that? Looks like... with this move, Rong Jing not only helped the Rong Family ride out the current storm at the smallest cost, he’s also made a certain admirer look at him in a whole new light..."

"If you’re jealous, then just be jealous properly. Don’t get all passive-aggressive!" Su Xiaomeng lifted her chin; who couldn’t hear the sourness in his tone!
