“But, Tianshi, there’s something else I want to discuss with you,” Mrs. Rong Sr. said. Though she was seething internally, Mrs. Rong Sr. swallowed her anger. She’d settle the score with Wang Qing later.
“If it’s about the hidden family asset, all I can say is that I don’t know anything about it,” Rong Tianshi said.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Mrs. Rong Sr. questioned.
Rong Tianshi opened his eyes, his gaze tinged with a wistful longing. He explained, “Let me be clear, the Rong family has no secret assets. If we did, why wouldn’t I have used it when the company was struggling? Why would I hoard it?”
“It can’t be! You gave me a key, look!” Mrs. Rong Sr. fumbled in her pocket, pulling out a piece of cloth. Unwrapping it, she held up a golden key. “What is this key for then? Tianshi, have you been listening to someone’s lies? Don’t believe them! I’m your mother. How could I ever be so cruel to you? I—”
Mrs. Rong Sr.’s voice was tinged with desperation. The secret family assets she had yearned for decades and bragged about for years had vanished into thin air.
Rong Tianshi looked at the petite golden key in her hand and smirked. “This key belongs to Chu Jing.”
The revelation struck Mrs. Rong Sr. like a bolt of lightning. She finally believed Rong Tianshi’s words. She thought, ‘Chu Jing was poor; she could not have any hidden assets.’
“Are you lying to me?” Mrs. Rong Sr. stood up, abandoning her cane, and grabbed Rong Tianshi’s arm, shaking him furiously. “You scoundrel! How dare you lie to me? I’ve trusted you for decades and you colluded with that wretch, Chu Jing, to deceive me? You’re disgraceful!”
Rong Tianshi felt his vision darken, as though his neck might snap again.
BANG!
The hospital door was violently shoved open.
Startled, Mrs. Rong Sr. looked back.
“No family assets? Does the Rong family really have nothing?”
Wang Qing, her face swathed in bandages, stormed in, disgust filling her eyes as she looked at the pair.
Mrs. Rong Sr. staggered to her feet and grabbed Wang Qing’s hand. “I asked him, and it’s true, there’s no asset. But don’t worry, even if we have no assets, we are still better than ordinary. We will have some assets left.”
“Ha! Assets? What assets?” Wang Qing sneered, shaking off Mrs. Rong Sr.’s hand. “Let me tell you the truth. I’ve sold off everything that could be sold from the Rong family and transferred all the shares to my son, Wang Song. No assets? Then you two useless beings can just starve in this hospital!”
“You! How can you speak to me like this?” Mrs. Rong Sr. was stunned, disbelief clouding her eyes.
Wang Qing shoved Mrs. Rong Sr. violently to the ground and said, “This is nothing compared to how you’ve tormented me all these years. Do you remember that? Let me make this clear. The Rong family has nothing to do with you anymore. I’ve sold the residence and you can wait for the debt collectors to find you! What a waste of my time!”
With that, the facade of caring for the hidden asset crumbled. Wang Qing had laid bare all her intentions.
Mrs. Rong Sr. stared at Wang Qing in disbelief and asked, “So you were only nice to me because of the asset?”
“What else? You think I cherish your long life?” Wang Qing retorted.
“You wicked woman! How can you be so malicious? Where did I go wrong? So now you want to betray me?” Mrs. Rong Sr. asked.
Wang Qing looked at them contemptuously. “The Rong family is now broken and penniless. The company is in someone else’s hands, and the money is with me. If you want to survive in the capital, I suggest you don’t cross me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being merciless..”
