Chapter 46: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (46)
"Relatives?"
Listening to Jiang Wandie's words, You Wenwen said she didn't understand at all.
She waited for Jiang Wandie to continue answering, but Jiang Wandie refused to say anything more.
He simply said, "When Rong Jing arrives, you will know everything."
As for why she insisted on waiting for Rong Jing to arrive, she offered no explanation.
Sitting in the middle, Le Yan was filled with questions. She frantically flipped through the book that she had somehow shoved into some corner, and finally found a sentence in one of the corners.
"Xiaodie's mother was a woman with a tragic life. Back then, she and Rong... sigh, never mind."
This is what an old woman who had raised Jiang Yanzhe and his siblings for several years said when Jiang Wandie took his ashes back to her hometown for burial after Jiang Yanzhe's death.
The book only mentions this one place—the family of the siblings—and even that is only briefly mentioned.
No wonder Leyan hadn't noticed it when she flipped through the book several times before.
This time, focused on her research, her gaze fell on the unfinished character "容" (rong).
Is it Rong Jing's Rong?
What is the relationship between Jiang Wandie and her brother and the Rong family?
What is his relationship with Rong Jing?
Le Yan's curiosity was completely piqued. She was now just as looking forward to Rong Jing's arrival, but not to rescue her. Instead, she hoped he would come to satisfy her curiosity.
The five of them waited quietly, and soon they heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Immediately, Rong Jing and Shen Mubai appeared at the doorway.
When Rong Jing saw that Le Yan was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he saw two armed thugs beside her, his breath caught in his throat again.
"Anything can be discussed, just don't hurt Leyan."
The first thing everyone said when they arrived was to tell the Jiang siblings not to hurt Leyan.
This saddened the siblings greatly.
Do they really look like the kind of people who would hurt Leyan?
Jiang Yanzhe was displeased, and he pointed his gun at Rong Jing.
I'm already annoyed by this man who married Leyan, why don't I just shoot him dead?
Jiang Yanzhe was itching to make a move.
Jiang Wandie decisively grabbed his wrist, stopping his ridiculous behavior.
"Don't do anything reckless, this isn't the United States."
Threatening someone with a gun is one thing, but if someone actually uses a gun, the police will be called in.
Jiang Yanzhe reluctantly lowered his finger from the trigger, and at the same time, he also lowered the hand that had been covering Le Yan's eyes.
Suddenly seeing the light again, Leyan's eyes felt a little disoriented.
But she quickly returned to normal and saw several people looking at her with worried expressions.
She subconsciously smiled at Rong Jing, "Don't worry, I'm fine, they didn't hurt me."
Seeing Le Yan smile at Rong Jing alone, Gu Yunting lowered his eyes, and Shen Mubai and You Wenwen also clenched their hands.
Have feelings developed yet?
They murmured to themselves.
Rong Jing had no intention of showing off at the moment. He couldn't relax at all and was focused on Le Yan, only glancing at the Jiang siblings.
He asked calmly, "What do you want? As long as you release Leyan, I can give you anything."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhe suddenly became interested and asked, "What if I want the entire Rong family?"
"can."
Without the slightest hesitation, Rong Jing nodded in agreement.
This stunned Le Yan. She stared at Rong Jing, her mind reeling.
Jiang Yanzhe's smile vanished. "Who wants your Rong family? I want Leyan herself."
What is the Rong family compared to Le Yan beside him?
Rong Jing's expression immediately changed. "Don't even think about it!"
You can have Rongjia, but don't even think about having Leyan.
His expression changed, and Jiang Yanzhe's expression also turned sour. The gun was once again pointed at Rong Jing, and his finger slowly rested on the trigger. With just a slight movement, the bullet would hit Rong Jing.
"Don't!"
Sensing the murderous intent, Le Yan immediately grabbed Jiang Yanzhe's hand, her eyes pleading.
Jiang Yanzhe was taken aback by her grip, and stared blankly down at her. He blinked and then obediently put down the gun.
He then took her hand in return, his eyes and brows full of smiles, showing the innocent charm of an eighteen-year-old for the first time.
But Le Yan ignored him and, after stopping him from firing, she decisively asked Jiang Wandie, "Miss Jiang, can you continue what you were saying?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wandie's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Le Yan with amusement, not expecting her to be so gossipy.
Without further ado, under the curious and puzzled gazes of the crowd, Jiang Wandie gestured to Jiang Yanzhe, "Bring out that document."
"Oh."
Still holding Le Yan's hand, Jiang Yanzhe turned around to get the documents from his bag.
He aimed at Rong Jing, applied a little force, and threw it to Rong Jing.
After receiving the documents, Rong Jing glanced at the calm and composed Jiang siblings before cautiously opening them and quickly reading through them, his eyes already filled with a deep coldness.
"impossible!"
"How is it impossible?"
Seeing that Rong Jing was unwilling to believe it, Jiang Wandie smiled and began to tell him a story.
"Back then, my mother was attracted by Rong Yunan's talent marketing and gave her heart to the wrong person. After marrying Rong Yunan, she gradually became depressed. After giving birth to you, she suffered from postpartum depression and even had suicidal thoughts."
"But your philandering father went out and seduced countless women, driving your mother to the brink of a mental breakdown. She then castrated Rong Yunan and drove her car into the sea."
"And so the Rong family and the Jiang family broke ties and hated each other to the bone. The Jiang family even moved directly to the United States and never returned to Haicheng. Rong Jing, don't you know about these things?"
Rong Yunan is Rong Jing's biological father.
Of course he knew these things.
What he couldn't believe was that his mother, who had fallen into the sea, hadn't died but had been rescued. At the time, she was pregnant with a child, who was none other than Jiang Wandie in front of him.
His biological sister.
Later, the amnesiac mother married another man and gave birth to Jiang Yanzhe, the fruit of their love.
But good times never last long. One rainy night, their mother and Jiang Yanzhe's father were in a car accident and died together.
Coincidentally, the other person who died in that car accident was his own father, Rong Yunan, the eldest son of the Rong family, who had been castrated and spent his days drinking heavily.
Such a thing, such a tragic fate, even just looking at the information made Rong Jing laugh.
As he laughed, a bitter feeling welled up inside him.
His feelings toward Jiang Wandie and Jiang Yanzhe became somewhat complicated.
His mother, whom he felt sorry for and thought had left early, actually had a few happy years and had given birth to his younger sister and brother, but the two of them had never met.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Le Yan looked at him with worry in her eyes. She had never known that his background was like this. She only knew that his parents were dead, but she didn't know that there were so many things behind it.
No wonder he was always reluctant to mention his parents or return to the Rong family's old house.
At this moment, Le Yan finally understood why Rong Jing had lived alone in Jiangcheng and gone around doing part-time jobs.
It's nothing more than being targeted, hated, ostracized, and ostracized by the Rong family.
The more Le Yan thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt for Rong Jing. If she hadn't been restrained by the Jiang siblings, she would have rushed over and hugged Rong Jing long ago.
Gu Shenyou and the other two, who had overheard the pitiful story, fell silent. They felt sorry for Rong Jing, but no one had the right to say that he was pitiful.
After all, they had never experienced these things before. Their pitifulness was nothing more than mockery of Rong Jing from the side of so-called goodwill, and he did not need anyone's pity.
The three of them finally felt relieved. With such an experience, it was no wonder that even when the three of them joined forces, they couldn't defeat Rong Jing.
They didn't lose unjustly, not unjustly at all.
