Infatuation - Chapter 65: When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; would you dare to try?

After passing a pavilion, Li Yue looked at the tall building in front of her and let out a breath. In fact, the words she had just used to reprimand Rong Jing had been lingering in her mind for a long time, echoing a thousand times. However, she had always been unwilling to say that she had not chosen him and did not love him. Why should she act like an abandoned woman and run up to him to accuse him of not being affectionate towards her?
"It's not like I'm just bored and have nothing better to do, is it?" Li Yue pouted, tugged at the hem of her clothes, and swayed her long, black hair as she walked towards the house. Compared to the layout of the courtyard, she preferred to stay inside the house. At least drinking fragrant tea and resting was a pretty good option, wasn't it?
Dong Kuan rushed back anxiously. Xuan Tong always led a very regular life, and although the baby was only a month old, he was an unusually well-behaved child. Perhaps knowing his mother's hardships in the womb, the baby rarely cried. Usually, Xuan Tong should be at home playing with the baby at this time, but despite making dozens of phone calls, no one answered!
Reaching the door, Dong Kuan eagerly pushed it open, only to see the curtains swaying in the wind and the lonely sound of the television, leaving the room feeling cold and desolate.
Dong Kuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, looked around several rooms, but Xuan Tong and the child were nowhere to be seen. In front of the wide-open window, Dong Kuan looked at several dark footprints next to the drain. A cold killing intent emanated from his body. He slammed his fist on the coffee table, leaving a dent in the wooden surface. No matter who it was, the price for taking Xuan Tong away would be too high for them to pay!
Her slender fingers held the purple clay teapot, gracefully and smoothly circling several cups. The emerald green tea, wafting its aroma and emitting wisps of white steam, mirrored Shen Feibai's gentle smile.
With his cane resting on the armrest of the chair, Old Master Rong watched the young man's skillful and fluid movements, reached out and picked up a cup of tea from the tray, slowly took two sips, and then looked at Shen Feibai without saying a word!
Shen Feibai wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't a little kid who needed praise from elders to bolster his manly pride. With a smile, Shen Feibai looked out the window at the slender figure walking back alone—that was the woman he loved!
Grandpa Rong put down his teacup, looked up at the magnificent crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and said, "I won't beat around the bush, young man of the Shen family, I hope you can drop the lawsuit against A-Jing!"
"Oh!" Shen Feibai showed no surprise, but rather a calm expression of expectation: "Reason?"
Looking at the calm and composed Shen Feibai, Old Master Rong couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes. He didn't show his emotions on his face. If this were A Jing, he probably would have rejected him with a sarcastic remark long ago!
"The reason? It's very simple. A-Jing is my grandson. After I pass away, he will be the head of the Rong family. So I will not allow him to have any stain that will be attacked in the future!" Old Master Rong's attitude was very firm. He had spent half his life fighting and half his life holding power. He was used to the mode of command and obedience.
Shen Feibai smiled gently: "That's your business, not mine. I don't think I have an obligation to abandon Rong Jing's slander against me for your sake!"
When had Old Master Rong ever encountered someone who would fawn over him like that? His expression immediately darkened. “Young man from the Shen family, you and I both know perfectly well whether this is slander or not. To be honest, you have a lot of blood on your hands, and you’re not exactly clean. If all of that is brought up, your life will be much harder. Why be so petty and let each other back down? Wouldn’t it be better?”
"Ha..." Shen Feibai clenched his fist and pressed it below his nose, scoffing, "Old Master Rong is truly vigorous despite his age. Even though he's at a disadvantage, he still refuses to back down in the slightest. Right now, everyone on the streets knows how the Rong family bullies others with their power, how corrupt and dark the judiciary is, and how I'm innocent and wronged. Even if you tell everyone right now that my hands are covered in blood, no one will believe you. Do you think I would give up such an advantage to fulfill your paternalistic desires?"
"You..." Old Master Rong was furious and felt embarrassed. He thought to himself, "When have I ever been able to command a bunch of people to serve me with just a word? When did it become the turn of a junior to talk back to me?"
"If I were to expose everything you've done, how much time and energy do you think you'd have to go through to clear your name one by one?" Old Master Rong threatened, his anger rising.
"I'm not worried!" Shen Feibai's attitude remained relaxed: "Powerful families may seem glamorous, but I believe Elder Rong is well aware of the internal strife. Who doesn't have a few blood debts on their hands? Elder Rong's hands aren't so clean either. Others may not know, but do you think I don't? Everyone has some incriminating evidence; otherwise, how can we negotiate? Don't you think so? If everything is exposed, at worst, we'll just fight to the death, but..."
He glanced sideways at the gloomy-faced Old Master Rong and continued, "My brothers are all capable. If something happens to me, someone will naturally treat my lover well. But it's different for you, Old Master Rong. If you fall, do you think Rong Jing alone can keep those jealous and envious uncles and brothers in check? And how many of your descendants can shoulder the great responsibility of the Rong family? At that time, I'm afraid there will be corpses everywhere among the Rong family members. It will be a situation where the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. Do you dare to try it?"
Seeing the rapidly changing colors on Old Master Rong's face, Shen Feibai gently tapped the table and said, "Old Master Rong, when you ask someone for a favor, you should have the right attitude and sincerity. Holding onto your pride and refusing to let go is not a wise choice!" His seemingly humble demeanor was actually incredibly arrogant and proud. Looking at Old Master Rong, his smile was full of mockery!
"Sigh!" Old Master Rong leaned back in his chair, his fingers gripping the hard armrests tightly, without uttering a word. Shen Feibai's words reflected his deepest fears. He was truly afraid that one day he would pass away, and the Rong family, which everyone envied, would fall apart. That's why he had been doing his best to cultivate Rong Jing, hoping that he could shoulder this responsibility!
Shen Feibai didn't rush him. Negotiation tests a person's patience and mental fortitude. The one who compromises first is the loser. Besides, he had enough leverage to crush the old man in front of him, who was old and frail but had a strong backbone.
"Young man of the Shen family, it seems you've already planned this out. State your conditions!" Old Master Rong took the first step back, his aged voice filled with the sorrow and anger of having to back down. He would put aside the matter of his grandson's pride for the time being.
"My condition is simple: the Rong family must not target anyone around me again!" Shen Feibai did not refuse and directly stated his thoughts.
"Is it really that simple?" Old Master Rong was clearly incredulous. He had expected Shen Feibai to make a series of outrageous demands, but who knew...
"Simple? Perhaps it seems simple to you, but it's extremely important to me!" Shen Feibai ignored Old Master Rong's surprised expression. Are things like money, fame, and status—dead things—more important than the happiness of a loved one, the safety of brothers, or a fulfilling life for everyone? Would you rather drool over the dead than embrace the happiness of the living? Will you only regret it after you've lost it?
"Alright! I can agree to this condition." Old Master Rong made the decision decisively and nodded readily!
“If you promise something, you should keep it. I believe that Grandpa Rong is not the kind of person who goes back on his word!” Shen Feibai looked at Grandpa Rong meaningfully.
“I understand what you mean, you can rest assured about that!” Old Master Rong clearly understood what he meant: “Now, I hope we can discuss how to erase the stain on A-Jing’s reputation!” Speaking of his beloved grandson, Old Master Rong’s affection was mixed with a touch of melancholy!
