Chapter 52 Family Meeting
"Zijun is dealing with some group affairs and is coming now!" The old lady answered faintly, and there was still no expression on her face.
Except for Rong Zijun, all the other members of the Rong family have gathered. Even Rong, the young lady who has been married and rarely goes home, attended today's party with her husband. It seems that Rong Shichang is going to announce his engagement with Hu Shuixin in front of the whole family.
At this time, Rong Zijun also came back in time.
Rong Zijun, dressed in a black suit, walked in slowly with an indifferent look and sat in his seat without saying a word.
Ji Zhenzhen looked at Rong Zijun and found that Rong Zijun did not look at her side at all. Ji Zhenzhen was ignored by Rong Zijun.
"Let's eat!" Seeing that the people had arrived, the old lady said to the housekeeper Liu Qing, and Liu Qing ordered immediately.
For a while, the table was full of all kinds of dishes, with rich dishes and exquisite styles, including some precious ginseng thorn belly.
"Today, all the people of our Rong family are here. I want to announce one thing, that is..." Rong Shichang said and looked at Hu Shuixin, who was full of happiness. Hu Shuixin lowered her head slightly and looked like a shy little woman.
"Father!" Rongxin, the young lady beside her, suddenly planned Rong Shichang's words. The young lady said, "Father, I know what you want to announce, but please allow me to say a few words before you announce it."
"You said!" Rong Shichang's face changed slightly.
"Father, are you really sure you want to marry this woman?" Rongxin asked in a warm voice.
"My heart has been confirmed for a long time!" Rong Shichang said.
"But this woman is a widow with a daughter in her 20s. Aren't you afraid that those face-headed people will give advice to our Rong family?" Rongxin said earnestly.
"I Rong Shichang will marry my beloved woman and can't tolerate other people's advice!" Rong Shichang said harshly, and it could be seen that Rong Shichang was already a little angry.
"Have you considered the feelings of your mother and other wives?" Rongxin did not show weakness, "Mom is your married couple. I have been silently supporting you behind your back for so many years. I dare say that without my mother's trust and support for you in those years, our Rong family would never have everything today, and Bandung would not have today's achievements!"
"Of course I know that your mother did pay a lot for me!" Rong Shichang said, gently holding the old lady's hand, and his eyes were much gentler.
The expression on the eldest wife's face immediately softened a lot, as if she had returned to her youth.
Where's the second wife? The second wife only entered the door one year later than her mother. She also followed you when your father was relatively low and gave birth to two sons for you. Over the years, it is obvious to all that the second wife has paid for the proud family. Rongxin continued, with a slightly excited voice.
"Ye, the second brother is also deeply affectionate with me. How can I forget it?" Rong Shichang said and looked at the second wife, with an elegant smile on her face.
At this time, the third wife suddenly added jealousy and said, "Shichang, I have been with you for more than 20 years and gave birth to a daughter for you. Although Lao Si is young and has not given birth to a man and a woman for you, she has followed you since she was 17 years old, and now it has been eight years. But Hu Shuixin, a woman who has married and had children, why can she marry into the Rong family so easily and enjoy the benefits of a fisherman!"
Rong Shichang didn't say anything. It can be seen that the words of the eldest lady and the third wife have also been heard by Rong Shichang. He is thinking at this moment.
"Father, what the third wife said is absolutely right. In terms of contributions and qualifications to the Rong family, Hu Shuixin is not qualified to marry into our family. I hope my father can think about it clearly." After saying that, Rong looked at her mother and the eldest wife, whose face was obviously much easier.
"You can't say that. My mother has been with Uncle Rong for more than ten years. Even if it is according to time, it must not be the last. What's more, this kind of thing can't be explained clearly according to the length of time. Ji Zhenzhen immediately defended her mother Hu Shuixin. She couldn't watch Hu Shuixin being bullied.
"You can't say that. Your mother is a widow. A widow is the woman who has a dead husband. A woman with a dead husband should abide by the woman's way..." The third wife tried her best to find various languages to insult Hu Shuixin. As she spoke, she met Rong Shichang's unhappy eyes, and then quickly stopped her mouth.
No one spoke at the dining table for a moment. After looking at all the people, Rong Shichang gently said to the old lady, "Xian, you have been with me for the longest time and the person who knows me best. Tell me what you think."
The eldest wife didn't want to say anything, but when she heard Rong Shichang asking her opinion, she said, "Shichang, I didn't want to say anything. Since I married you regardless of my family's opposition, it means that I will put you first in everything, and it is the same now. Our Chinese man has three wives and four concubines. This is a rule handed down from our ancestors. It is understandable, and I don't object to it. It's just that I have a request that I can't give Wanlong's shares to Hu Shuixin. If she can accept it, I naturally welcome her to join our Rong family.
The old lady's words are also generous and decent, so that people can't find anything wrong with it.
Hu Shuixin also immediately said, "Madam, don't worry, I follow Shichang because I have him in my heart, and he is also very good to me. I will never have a peek at Bandung's shares!"
After listening to Hu Shuixin's statement, the wives of the Rong family obviously looked much better, and no one said anything.
"Since everyone has no objection, the engagement ceremony between me and Shuixin will be held next month. Ah Xian will be entrusted to you and Lao Er. Our Rong family is a proud family. This engagement ceremony must be grand and decent." Rong Shichang took Hu Shuixin's hand here, and infinite tenderness rose on his face. "I also want to compensate Shuixin. Shuixin has been with me for so many years. It's really wrong you." With that, Rong Shichang gently patted the back of Hu Shuixin's hand, and Hu Shuixin immediately burst into tears with excitement.
It turned out that Rong Shichang also had such an iron man's tender side, which was also the first time Ji Zhenzhen saw it, but it was also normal to think about it, because only his wives could understand Rong Shichang's gentleness.
"Shichang, don't worry, I will cooperate with my elder sister to hold this engagement ceremony properly." The second wife is relatively friendly, and it can be seen that she did not dislike Hu Shuixin because she was about to marry into a glorious family.
"Yes, Dad, I'm going to have a holiday recently. I can accompany my aunt to buy wedding supplies, and I can also help Zhenzhen choose a dress." After all, Rongjia is a little girl, and she is naturally very excited to hear that there will be a happy event at home.
"Okay, it's just the Spring Festival. When you go out to buy wedding supplies, you also buy some New Year's goods by the way." Rong Shichang was obviously very happy, and his eyebrows were relieved a lot.
"Father, I have nothing to do. I have to go back to the company first." Rong Zijun's sudden words broke the lively atmosphere on the table.
"Why do you have to go back to the company after work? Has anything happened recently? Rong Shichang asked with concern, and his expression returned to seriousness.
"It's nothing. It's just that I have a few documents at hand that need me to sign. I need to go back and have a closer look." Rong Zijun said and was about to get up.
"Ye, you must take a closer look at the documents. Has your secretary also returned to the company?" Rong Shichang continued to ask.
"You don't need to call anyone else. Ji Zhenzhen is my personal assistant. Just go back with me." Rong Zijun said and looked at Ji Zhenzhen with deep eyes.
Ji Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, put down her chopsticks and said, "But I haven't had dinner yet!"
"I'll wait for you in the car!"
Rong Zijun left a cold sentence and walked out of the door.
Although Ji Zhenzhen was very angry, she finally put down her bowls and chopsticks and followed.
And Rong Zihong saw Ji Zhenzhen leave, and his eyes were full of loss.
When he came home this time, he found that Ji Zhenzhen was a little different, and his eyes were much stranger. Rong Zihong had a bad feeling in his heart. He hoped that this bad premonition was just an illusion.
