Chapter 171 A powerful character
Rong Jin couldn't see Yan Muhuai, so of course he had no appetite for breakfast. He sat in the restaurant for a long time, and finally put down his bowl and went upstairs to talk to Rong Yu.
He had been at home for a few days, and Rong Yu looked obviously better today. When he pushed open the door, he saw him lifting the quilt and trying to get out of bed.
But his body was still too weak, and he fell back before he could even stand firmly after getting out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Rong Jin didn't go over to help, just stood at the door.
Rong Yu stood up and sat up, smiling at Rong Jin, "I feel much better, I want to get out of bed and walk around..."
"Don't worry, just rest for a few more days." Rong Jin could see the deathly aura lingering around Rong Yu. It was much lighter than yesterday, but it was not a phenomenon that would occur in a long-lived person.
In this situation, if the ghost gets close to you again, there will probably be no hope.
"Okay, but it will take up too much of your time." Rong Yu lay back down obediently.
He wanted to get better soon so that Rong Jin could focus on his own affairs and there wouldn't always be conflicts between his family and Rong Jin.
"If you hadn't recovered completely, I would have wasted even more time." Rong Jin spoke mercilessly.
Rong Yu was the only one in the Rong family who could be given some face by him, but his relationship with Rong Yu was not very good.
When he was locked up before, Rong Yu would bring him food whenever he had time, but he was too cowardly to resist any orders from his parents.
Even though Rong Yu knew that his parents were wrong to treat Rong Jin like this, and even he himself was overwhelmed by the high expectations his parents had on him, he did not dare to complain at all.
The reason is simple. Rong Yu is afraid that if he fails to meet his parents' expectations, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by the Rong family like Rong Jin.
Rong Yu couldn't even save himself, so how could he save Rong Jin?
As a victim himself, Rong Jin never hated Rong Yu. Considering their blood relationship, he would help if he could.
But his patience was limited. If other people in the family continued to make trouble over Rong Yu's matter, he wouldn't mind seeing Rong Yu get rid of it sooner.
Anyway, there is nothing worth reminiscing about in a family like this.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Rong Yu really blamed himself.
He knew that his parents had been angry with Rong Jin many times because of him, but he was really powerless and didn't know how to make Rong Jin feel better.
Rong Jin sat on the windowsill, looking at the beautiful scenery of the flowers in the backyard, letting the morning breeze blow on his face, and felt a little relieved. "It's not you who's sorry for me, so you don't have to blame yourself."
When he withdrew his gaze, it suddenly fell on a lotus plant in full bloom on the windowsill.
"Did the servant grow this flower for you?" Rong Jin frowned when he asked this question.
Rong Yu looked over, his expression blank for a moment, and then he expressed even greater doubt than Rong Jin, "When did it bloom?"
Suguan Heding was Rong Yu's favorite orchid. After he fell ill and stayed at home, he bought several of them at a high price. However, this orchid was extremely difficult to grow. He killed a large number of them, and finally only had one half-dead one placed on the windowsill. The servants knew how valuable it was and did not dare to let him touch it.
He felt like he was just like the white-crowned lotus plant, counting the days, living one day at a time, and his time was running out.
He was so ill during that period that he didn't notice that the orchid had miraculously survived and even bloomed.
"You don't know?" Rong Jin didn't expect Rong Yu to react like this.
Rong Yu shook his head, but he had a guess in his mind, "Maybe Grandpa knew that I liked it, so he secretly changed it for me?"
"Heh..." Rong Jin sneered, "He won't notice such details. I bet no one in this family knows that you like Su Guan He Ding. They only care about when the obedient heir will get better so that they can pull me, the bastard who has usurped the magpie's nest, down from the position of head of the family."
Rong Yu felt uncomfortable after hearing this. "Brother, don't say that. I have no interest in being the head of the family. You do it better than anyone else. Grandpa is a man who values his reputation. He knows who is the best for Rong. Even if I am not sick, he would not have such an idea."
To put it bluntly, Grandpa Rong puts profit above all else. Whoever of the two brothers can make the Rong family remain the number one family in the capital longer will be the best candidate for the head of the family.
Although Rong Yu was the prospective heir cultivated by the Rong family with a lot of resources, he had never been in that position, so no one knew whether he was suitable for the job. Besides, Rong Yu was not the type of person who could kill decisively, and this had caused Old Man Rong to teach him a lesson more than once.
If Rong Jin had not suddenly changed from a fool to a good person and had not completely disregarded the Rong family, his character would have been the perfect heir to the family head in Grandpa Rong's mind.
"Let me borrow it first." Rong Jin skipped the topic of heirs. He was very interested in the orchid in his hand.
Rong Yu was afraid that Rong Jin would destroy the flowers, and an expression of reluctance appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, as long as there is no problem with it, I will return it to you intact." Rong Jin just asked Rong Yu politely, not seeking his opinion. After saying that, he took the orchid in one hand and walked out of the room.
Rong Yu felt sorry for the white-crowned lotus flower when he saw his rough technique.
Taking the orchid downstairs, Rong Jin called out the servants in the house, as well as the old man and old lady who were hiding in the room.
"Who helped the second young master grow these flowers?" Rong Jin didn't have any extra opening remarks and went straight to the point.
Some people who know the value of things were so dazzled by the beautifully carved Suguan Lotus Ding.
If I sell this, I can easily get a few million, right?
Rong Jin glanced around the room, and no one admitted it.
In other words, this orchid, which could serve better than the emperor, was not taken care of by anyone when Rong Yu was bedridden and had not even been awake for several days. Instead, it just bloomed on the windowsill by itself?
Just when he was puzzled, his cell phone rang. It was Yan Muhuai calling.
Yan Muhuai and Ming Fei arrived at the door, but they couldn't come in without an appointment, so Rong Jin had to go and pick them up personally.
Rong Jin didn't care about the orchids and lotus flowers anymore. He stood up and ran out with brisk steps.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the two old men did not dare to stop him.
After all, the scene of Rong Jin stabbing Rong Minglei with a knife yesterday is still vivid in our minds, and no one wants to be stabbed.
Moreover, Rong Yu also told them privately that Rong Jin would not leave in the short term, so they could rest assured.
They were quite relieved that Rong Jin didn't leave, but when he brought a boyfriend into the house, the old man couldn't feel at ease anymore.
Seeing the two elderly people, Yan Muhuai also "very politely" introduced himself to them, "Hello, grandpa and grandma, I am Rong Jin's boyfriend, my name is Yan Muhuai."
Old Master Rong was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should ask him if he knew what shame was, or if he had any relationship with the Yan family in Beijing?
After learning from Liu Qi how this family had treated Rong Jin in the past, he had no intention of getting along with them politely.
After greeting them, no matter how shocked they were, Yan Muhuai prepared to pull Rong Jin to the dining table to have breakfast with him.
His peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of the white-crowned lotus plant on the coffee table, and he immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Ghostly orchid cultivation?" Yan Muhuai curled his lips, "It seems that I have met a powerful character this time."
