Xu Youlan's interest was aroused: "Could it be that you have found a girl that suits your eyes?"
Rong Zhen just smiled and said nothing: "Let's talk about it when the opportunity is right. How is your health recently?"
Xu Youlan seemed a little flattered: "Very good, everything is fine."
With Rong Zhen's joining, the atmosphere became a little quiet. But the person involved didn't care at all. He sipped the tea in his cup and didn't discuss anything. He just sat there quietly, ignoring the quiet atmosphere around him, as if his purpose was to destroy the atmosphere.
Xu Youlan asked Rong Zhen many questions, and he answered them one by one, with a hint of satisfaction on his brow.
Xu Youlan noticed it and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you do have good news."
He nodded slowly, a deep and strange look flashing across his sidelong glance.
Rong Feifei had been staying in the corner and didn't talk much. Now she was sitting in her seat even more sullenly. Occasionally, when her eyes glanced at Rong Zhen, a hint of disgust flashed across them.
She was young and didn't know how to hide her emotions, so Meng Yao could see it clearly.
Meng Yao turned her head away with the candy still in her mouth.
Rong He has an aloof and cold temperament and is reluctant to express his emotions, but at this moment there is a hint of impatience on his face.
Meng Yao looked in the direction of Yang Jiaxin again, only to see that Yang Jiaxin, who was always kind and gentle, also pursed the corners of his lips.
Meng Yao's eyes turned and finally stopped on Xu Youlan. She saw that the other party was extremely enthusiastic and caring towards Rong Zhen.
That's strange.
Although Meng Yao was not interested in family feuds, she knew a little about them. Rong Zhen and Rong Wei, the uncle and nephew, had been at loggerheads recently. As a member of the Rong family, Rong Zhen had been secretly trying to trip up Rong Wei. The Rong family intended to transfer part of its business to foreign countries, which was naturally obstructed by Rong Zhen. The two were still in a stalemate.
Meng Yao withdrew her gaze from Xu Youlan, and she stretched out her fingers and tapped her leg twice.
The most strange thing is Xu Youlan's attitude. Meng Yao doesn't believe that Xu Youlan knows nothing about these fights. Then how can she have no grudge against Rong Zhen
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Youlan's attitude towards Rong Zhen seemed to be mixed with a bit of caution and flattery.
Could it be that Rong Zhen has some leverage over Xu Youlan
Meng Yao patted her head. She clearly had no reasoning ability, so why did she still have to think about these complicated things
Who cares about other people? It's enough for her to live comfortably.
Meng Yao's shoulder was gently gripped by Rong Wei beside her, and Xu Mu's baby voice sounded at the same time.
"Sister-in-law, grandma is asking you a question!"
Meng Yao regained her composure and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."
Her voice was strangely muffled due to the candy in her mouth.
Meng Yao explained first: "I just ate a candy."
Xu Youlan smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Yaoyao, just be casual in the old house and eat whatever you want." She instructed Aunt Ying beside her: "It's boring to just drink tea, go and arrange for someone to bring some cakes over."
Aunt Ying responded respectfully, then bowed and left.
Everyone can see Xu Youlan's love for Meng Yao.
Rong Zhen's gaze fell on Meng Yao, and this time he looked at her with some scrutiny.
Xu Youlan said with emotion: "Speaking of this candy, I remember that Ah Zhen really likes to eat sweets."
Rong Zhen couldn't tell that Xu Youlan was trying to find a topic to talk about, but his tone was still nonchalant: "I don't like it now."
Xu Youlan choked, but didn't seem angry. She started chatting with everyone about another topic in a relaxed tone.
Later, Xu Youlan left first due to feeling unwell, and asked others to continue chatting without restraint. Before leaving, she asked Rong Zhen to leave.
Rong Zhen picked up his coat and stood up. The bodyguard who was accompanying him immediately stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Rong Zhen's expression did not change. He just said lightly, "Wait here."
Meng Yao stayed in her seat, Xu Mu's small stool was next to her, and Meng Yao fed him two pieces of cake.
Xu Mu shook his head and stopped eating after a while. His big black grape-like eyes sparkled and he said pitifully, "I'm choking, sister-in-law, Mumu wants to drink some water..."
Meng Yao inexplicably felt a little embarrassed and guilty, as she really had no experience in feeding a child.
Rong Feifei has already handed over a glass of milk: "Give him this to drink."
Meng Yao handed the milk to his mouth, her movements more delicate.
Xu Mu drank up the milk quickly, a circle of milk smeared on the corner of his mouth, and he burped. He blinked his big eyes and looked a little stupid.
Meng Yao couldn't help laughing, she gently stroked Xu Mu's fluffy and soft hair.
Rong Feifei leaned closer and said, "Sister-in-law, do you like children very much?"
The word "sister-in-law" came out of her mouth. Rong Feifei reacted and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything else.
This was the first time she called Meng Yao "Sister-in-law".
Meng Yao was about to say that she didn't like it, but when she glanced at Xu Mu, she paused. It didn't seem right to say that to a child, so she thought of a compromise: "It's okay."
In fact, when I think about it carefully, I don't seem to hate children that much. I used to just think that children were troublesome. After meeting Xu Mu, this prejudice has decreased a lot.
As expected, people's impressions will change depending on the people or things around them.
Rong Qiao was chatting with Rong Wei in a casual manner, and when she lowered her head, she saw the ring on his finger.
She was horrified, as it was obvious that this ring was not the one the old lady had chosen. Could it be that Rong Yan had bought another pair for Meng Yao
The ring itself is of course not the most important thing, the point is that Rong Yan is willing to wear a wedding ring...
"This ring... isn't the one the old lady chose, right?"
"no."
Rong Qiao looked slightly disapproving: "The old lady spent a lot of money on that ring, and the meaning of a wedding ring is extraordinary. How can you just change it? Aren't you making a fool of yourself?"
"I don't like that ring."
Rong Qiao's expression changed several times, and finally he chose to be more tactful: "You are too unreasonable."
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Zhen came over. There was no emotion on his face. He said, "I have an important matter to deal with. I'll leave first."
The bodyguard immediately followed his steps.
Yang Jiaxin just nodded but didn't say anything to see him off.
Aunt Ying came over in a panic and said that she wanted to ask Dr. Ye to come over because Xu Youlan was not feeling well.
Everyone's face changed drastically and they all wanted to go upstairs.
Aunt Ying stopped Rong Yiqing who was about to rush forward and said in a steady voice: "Yiqing, the old lady is not feeling well, let her have a good rest."
"I want to go up because grandma is not feeling well. Why are you stopping me, Aunt Ying?!"
