Chapter 249 Proud
Rong Tao's grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly.
Are you really getting married?
"By the way," Yan Hui suddenly spoke, looking sharply at Rong Tao, "I heard your eldest brother returned home recently?"
Rong Tao's expression instantly turned cold: "Don't mention that bastard."
Yang Xining keenly noticed the flash of disgust in Rong Tao's eyes: "Your eldest brother is...?"
Rong Tao gritted his teeth and said, "My father adopted this illegitimate son a few years ago. He pretends to be a decent person on the surface, but who knows what he's up to behind the scenes."
Lu Tianlin patted Rong Tao on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don't talk about unhappy things while eating. Brother Ning, have another bowl of rice!"
The atmosphere became lively again, but Yang Xining could feel Rong Tao's eyes following her, with countless unasked questions.
It was not until after dinner, when Yang Xining got up to clean up the dishes, that he seized the opportunity to follow her to the kitchen.
"Why didn't you come?" he asked in a low voice.
Yang Xining washed the dishes without raising his head: "Mr. Rong, I'm married, and I didn't agree to see you."
"Then explain to me why your child has your surname Yang. Did you get divorced and your child take your surname?"
He still had a one percent chance in his mind.
Yang Xining explained with a smile: "We are not divorced. My last name is Yang, and my husband's last name is Yang. Our union is called 'Yang Yang De Yi'. Is that ok?"
If he hadn't been brought by Tianlin and Xiaohui, she would definitely have beaten him out.
What a 'smug' look.
But Rong Tao didn't intend to give up: "Give me a chance, I don't mind being your mistress!"
Hearing this, Yang Xining almost slipped. She finally turned around and faced him: "Mr. Rong, we have only met once. Your persistence is very abnormal."
Rong Tao wanted to continue speaking when Lu Tianlin's voice came: "Taozi, Uncle Yang asked us to go to the front yard for tea."
Lu Tianlin leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest and gave Rong Tao a meaningful look.
The latter had to give up temporarily and left with Lu Tianlin.
Yang Xining let out a long sigh and leaned on the cooking table.
Muttering to himself: "Where did this guy come from?"
In the front yard, Rong Tao was pulled to a corner by Lu Tianlin and Yan Hui.
"Listen, Taozi." Lu Tianlin said seriously, "Whatever you think about Brother Ning, stop it immediately."
Yan Hui added: "She is the most important person to us four brothers. You can't touch her."
Rong Tao raised his eyebrows: "Four brothers? Isn't her husband's surname Yang?"
"Don't worry about that." Lu Tianlin patted his shoulder, "So, don't tease your friend's wife, understand?"
I still want to be Brother Ning’s mistress, I’ll make him happy!
Even Little Thirteen can’t get his turn!!
……
It was almost midnight when Rong Tao pushed open the heavy door of the Rong family's house.
He loosened his tie and threw his coat onto the antique Ming and Qing Dynasty chair in the entrance hall with a "pop" sound.
“You still remember to come back?”
Father Rong Shicheng's voice came from the living room, low and majestic.
Rong Tao looked up and saw his father sitting upright on the armchair, with Rong Hao standing next to him, who always had a fake smile on his face.
There were documents spread out in front of the two men, and they were obviously discussing family affairs.
"Dad." Rong Tao called out reluctantly, and when his eyes swept over Rong Hao, he didn't even bother to say hello.
Rong Hao's smile became more gentle: "Brother, you came back so late, you must have worked hard."
"Work?" Rong Shicheng snorted coldly, "Twisting around on the stage is also called work?"
Rong Tao's fingers dug into his palm.
It's the same again. Ever since Rong Hao, the illegitimate son, was adopted into the Rong family, there is no place for him in his father's eyes.
"I spoke with General Gao today." Rong Shicheng suddenly changed the subject, a rare smile on his face. "Gao's daughter, Xiaojuan, just returned from studying in the UK. She's a good match for Hao'er."
Rong Tao suddenly looked up: "Gao Xiaojuan? The only daughter of the Gao family in the military district?"
"That's right." Rong Shicheng nodded with satisfaction. "Hao'er has already agreed to this marriage. After the two families marry, our channels in the military will be smoother."
Rong Tao looked at Rong Hao in disbelief.
He had met Gao Xiaojuan twice. She was three years older than him.
She used to be the fiancée of Yan Hui's brother Yan Tian. Later, news came out that Yan Tian was impotent, and Gao Xiaojuan broke off the engagement in tears.
How could she agree to marry a hypocritical villain like Rong Hao now?
Rong Hao seemed to see through his confusion and smiled, "Xiaojuan and I hit it off right away. She's very supportive of my research project."
"Research projects?" Rong Tao sneered. "Those shameful experiments of yours?"
"That's enough!" Rong Shicheng slammed the table and stood up. "Hao'er's achievements in biotechnology are even recognized by the Academy of Sciences. What about you? Besides being a good-looking guy on TV, what else can you do?"
Rong Tao's chest heaved violently.
It's the same again. My father only sees Rong Hao's "achievements" but turns a blind eye to those suspicious research.
"I'm going to rest." Rong Tao turned around and went upstairs.
"Stop!" Rong Shicheng shouted, "The Gao family is coming to visit next Saturday, and you must be there. Also, dye your messy hair back and take off your earrings!"
Rong Tao went upstairs without looking back. Behind him, he heard his father praising Rong Hao: "Hao'er, if your brother was half as sensible as you..."
The bedroom door was slammed shut.
Rong Tao fell headfirst into the bed, Yang Xining's words "Our union is called 'elation'" replaying in his mind.
There was a smile in her eyes and eyebrows when she spoke, and it was obvious that she had a very deep affection for her husband.
"Damn it!" He punched the pillow.
The phone screen lit up, and it was tomorrow's itinerary sent by the agent.
Rong Tao stared at it for a few seconds and suddenly stood up.
At the end of the corridor, Rong Hao's door was ajar, and low voices of conversation could be heard from inside.
Rong Tao approached with light steps and saw through the crack in the door that Rong Hao was standing with his back to the door, and opposite him was a woman in her thirties.
"The samples are ready, Master Si." The woman spoke Chinese with a strange accent, "but we need more test subjects."
Sir? Who did she call?
Rong Hao chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry. After I marry the Gao family, we'll have access to the military's resources. We can then use them to deal with Mo Junli and his men, and capture Yang Xining's two little bastards and sacrifice them."
Rong Tao's pupils suddenly shrank.
Yang Xining?
Are they talking about that "Yang Xining"?
"Sir, are you used to being here?" the woman asked.
"Rong Shicheng is easy to control." Rong Hao's voice was creepily gentle, "It's just that Rong Tao came back tonight, and this kid is against me at every turn."
"Master Si, do you need me to give him a dose of medicine so that he..."
Rong Tao's blood froze instantly.
"Who's there?" Rong Hao turned around suddenly.
Rong Tao quickly dodged to the shadows to the side.
A few seconds later, Rong Hao's door opened and the woman walked out quickly. After looking around, she hurried downstairs.
Rong Tao held his breath and didn't dare move until the footsteps completely disappeared.
His shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
What is Rong Hao planning?
Why did they arrest Yang Xining’s child?
What the hell is this title of “Mr. Si”?
