Chapter 261: Chapter 253: Sooner or Later, I Will Leave Him for Good
Mu Yan lowered her eyelashes, "But I have no other way. In his territory, everyone listens to him and doesn’t dare to disobey his orders. I don’t want to make things difficult for them, so I had to think of a way myself. I can’t just know that Yu is seriously injured and hospitalized and not come to see him, right? He would be very sad."
Young love, earth-shattering, moths to a flame!
Jin Jumo didn’t know what to say to her, helplessly reaching out to ruffle her hair, "Don’t do such silly things next time... Life isn’t as indestructible as you think."
Mu Yan was stunned.
Jin Jumo tugged at her lips, "Your wound needs to be dressed once a day at the hospital, don’t forget."
Mu Yan nodded lightly.
"So do you want to stay at the hospital now or go back?" Jin Jumo asked softly.
Mu Yan frowned in frustration, "In my current state, I definitely can’t stay in the hospital. If Yu sees me like this, he will definitely ask questions. By then, I won’t know how to explain to him."
Jin Jumo sighed lightly, "Xiao Nanqing, that person, responds better to gentleness than force, don’t confront him head-on."
Mu Yan shook her head, "Sister Jin, you don’t understand him. That person, if you’re tough, he’s tougher than you. If you’re soft, his arrogance rises higher, there’s no way to compromise."
Jin Jumo frowned.
Mu Yan took a breath, seriously looking at Jin Jumo, "Sister Jin, sooner or later I will completely leave, far away from him."
Jin Jumo’s brows furrowed even more, looking at Mu Yan’s complex expression, yet not knowing what to say.
After sending Mu Yan onto the taxi back to Xiao Mansion, Jin Jumo received a call from Rong Mochen.
"Weren’t you at the hospital? Where did you go?" A deep, rich voice came from the phone.
Jin Jumo glanced at the hospital entrance, "I just came out of the hospital and am hailing a cab, what’s up?"
After a pause on the other end, the man said, "Don’t move from there."
Jin Jumo blinked, didn’t ask why, and obediently replied, "Okay."
Jin Jumo thought that after saying this, the man would end the call.
But after waiting for a while, the man didn’t hang up.
Jin Jumo thought he probably expected her to hang up, so he didn’t take action.
Just as she was about to hang up, a very ordinary black sedan suddenly kicked up dust in front of her and came to a stop.
Jin Jumo was startled, instinctively shielding the two kids with her hands, stepping back a bit.
Then she heard a familiar voice drift into her ears, "Get in the car."
Jin Jumo hesitated for a moment, instinctively glanced at her phone, only to find that the call had been disconnected without her knowing.
Blinking again, Jin Jumo raised her confused peach blossom eyes and looked towards the black sedan’s driver’s seat.
A man, in a simple white shirt and a black collar coat, appeared in her view, wearing very ordinary clothes but pulling off his unique style.
However, Jin Jumo curiously glanced at the silver-rimmed glasses on his tall, prominent nose.
Since their reunion four years later, she found that except in front of her, he rarely wore glasses but all other times, he wore this pair of silver-rimmed glasses.
Could it be, nearsightedness?
"Not getting in?" Rong Mochen softly focused on Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo withdrew her thoughts, placed Xixi and Hanhan into the children’s seats in the back, then rounded the front of the car to sit in the passenger seat.
Rong Mochen immediately started the car.
"Daddy, why did you come here?" Xixi, who had a slower reaction than usual, finally noticed Rong Mochen’s presence and said excitedly.
Rong Mochen’s lips slightly curved up, looked at Xixi through the rearview mirror, "Daddy came to pick you up."
"In the morning my brother and I saw Daddy on TV." Xixi was a bit confused, how did Daddy come out of the TV?
Rong Mochen laughed warmly.
Xixi frowned, falling into thought.
After getting in the car, Hanhan closed his eyes and began to sleep, clearly not having enough sleep last night.
Jin Jumo turned to look at the back seats at Xixi and Hanhan, then turned her head, glancing at Rong Mochen from the corner of her eye, "Now that reporters are blocking all your paths, how did you manage to come out?"
"If there’s a will, there’s a way." Rong Mochen gripped the steering wheel lightly and softly said.
Just looking at the car, it was clear that someone had made quite some effort to get out, Jin Jumo had asked just to find a topic to start a conversation.
Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes flickered lightly and she slowly turned to look at Rong Mochen, "Why deliberately have someone say that at the press conference?"
Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow, seemed confused looking at Jin Jumo, "What?"
Jin Jumo frowned, "You know exactly what I’m talking about."
Rong Mochen curled his lips but didn’t speak.
After waiting for a while and still not hearing him speak, Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes flashed with anxiety, staring at him, "Aren’t you afraid of being criticized for saying that?"
"Do you care?" Rong Mochen instead looked deeply at Jin Jumo and asked.
Jin Jumo froze, her cheeks slightly blushing, her pure black eyes staring directly at Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen squinted slightly, used a hand to gently caress Jin Jumo’s cheek, his actions indescribably tender, "There’s only one thing I fear."
Jin Jumo’s heart trembled violently.
Suddenly, Gu Yan’s words from the morning echoed in her mind.
Gu Yan said, he is most afraid that she will ignore him...
Jin Jumo swallowed, but her eyes still remained fixed on him, and slowly asked, "Afraid of what?"
Rong Mochen stared intently at Jin Jumo and replied with a sentence she herself had said not long ago, "You clearly know what I’m talking about."
"..." Jin Jumo suddenly took a deep breath, her wide peach blossom eyes shallowly showing disbelief.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes slightly narrowed, and he reached out to stroke Jin Jumo’s cheek, his eyes looking straight ahead, his soft voice returning to indifference, "Everything said at the press conference is true."
True?
Does he mean his words, or the words of that faceless informant?
Jin Jumo pursed her lips, "How are you going to clean up the mess of canceling the engagement so abruptly?"
Rong Mochen gave Jin Jumo a peculiar look, "Clean up the mess?"
Jin Jumo withdrew her gaze from his face, "The Gu Family, and your family."
"My marriage doesn’t need to answer to anyone, nor is it something anyone can meddle in." Rong Mochen’s voice was cold.
Jin Jumo’s mouth slightly twitched as she turned her gaze toward the car window, not saying another word.
Rong Mochen’s long brows furrowed, his deep dark eyes looked at Jin Jumo’s cold profile, "Little Mo..."
Just as Rong Mochen spoke, the sound of a vibrating phone suddenly came from the hidden compartment.
Jin Jumo’s brow moved slightly as she turned her eyes to look at him.
Rong Mochen, with furrowed brows and squinted eyes, picked up and hung up the phone from the hidden compartment.
Watching him casually toss the phone back into the compartment, Jin Jumo was puzzled, "Why not answer it?"
Rong Mochen’s deep pupils narrowed slightly, his lips tightly sealed, staring at her.
Jin Jumo’s dense lashes trembled, and she pressed her lips together tightly.
When the phone rang again, Jin Jumo shifted her gaze slightly toward the car window.
Rong Mochen’s hand gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, he glanced at Jin Jumo, picked up the phone, and answered it.
The other end seemed surprised that Rong Mochen had answered, pausing for a moment before an angry female voice grumbled, "It’s really not easy to get President Rong to answer a call!"
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes lightly deepened, silent.
Rong Mochen did not speak, but the other end couldn’t hold back, raising her voice a few degrees, "Rong Mochen, what good deed have you done!"
Rong Mochen just frowned slightly.
"Lingyi is such a good girl, why don’t you want her? What on earth do you want?" Fang Jingyi’s excited voice sharply pierced through.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes half-closed, his tone frosty, "Since Miss Gu is so good in Ms. Fang’s eyes, why not take her as your goddaughter?"
"Rong Mochen!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Jingyi’s voice trembled with rage, "Do you have to speak to me so sarcastically? Am I your enemy?"
Rong Mochen remained silent.
"You got engaged to Lingyi not long ago, and now you go through the trouble of calling a press conference to announce the cancellation of the engagement without even discussing it. Where does that leave me, where does that leave the Rong Family?" Fang Jingyi said sternly.
Rong Mochen paused slightly, his tone even carrying a hint of puzzlement, "Canceling the engagement with Miss Gu, what does that have to do with Ms. Fang? If I recall correctly, you severed the mother and son relationship with me as early as four years ago, didn’t you?"
What...
Jin Jumo looked at Rong Mochen’s back in shock, incredulously turning her head to that expressionless man.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes were slightly moist, looking at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s heart was in turmoil.
After Rong Mochen said this, Fang Jingyi was silent for quite some time on the other end, and only the sound of quick breaths could be heard through the phone.
After a while, Fang Jingyi, with an unsteady breath, said, "Rong Mochen, well done, just well done. For a woman like that, you won’t even acknowledge your own mother!"
"A nominal mother." Rong Mochen’s tone was lightly mocking.
"..." Fang Jingyi panted for a while, her voice suddenly dropping, as though tired, seeping with weariness, "No matter how dissatisfied you are with me, kinship and blood relations can’t be cut off with just a word. Rong Mochen, remember, without me, there wouldn’t be you."
"I remember what Ms. Fang said, if there’s nothing else, then..."
"Wait."
Hearing this, Rong Mochen’s action of hanging up the phone paused slightly.
"I have something to say," Fang Jingyi said.
"Go on," Rong Mochen said.
"It’s best you don’t interfere in the Tang family’s affairs, take this opportunity to have her divorce your brother, it’s best, a woman who can’t bear children is unworthy of your brother." Fang Jingyi’s tone was cold and ruthless.
Rong Mochen’s face remained emotionless, "Even if you didn’t say so, I wouldn’t have intervened!"
Fang Jingyi sighed softly, "Your brother has been on vacation abroad for quite some time, I haven’t been able to reach him and I don’t know how he is now."
Rong Mochen held the phone for two seconds, then hung up, tossing the phone back into the compartment.
Jin Jumo stared at Rong Mochen’s increasingly cold profile, opened her lips, "You and your mother... have a bad relationship?"
Rong Mochen’s brows knitted tightly, coldly staring at Jin Jumo for a long moment before he said, "You just realized? So your claim of liking me four years ago clearly wasn’t that deep."
