Chapter 39 - Every Move Of Yours Affects My Pride
“How do you explain this photo then?” Old Mr. Rong probed.
After all, Old Mr. Rong was the founder of Baina International. Even though he was old in his years, he still commanded respect and authority.
Luo Anning straightened her spine and hung her head low, for the most important thing for her to do now was to show her remorse.
Jiang Peihua noticed that Luo Anning was hanging her head low.
Due to how much she fancied Luo Anning, she could not help but put in a good word for her. “Father, Anning has already stated that she and CEO Mo are just friends. You’re going to scare her by being so stern.”
Luo Anning smiled at her gratefully, feeling extremely touched. Rong Yan snorted with laughter, appearing extremely smug.
Luo Anning ignored him and thought to herself, he is not the one being questioned so he obviously would not be worried.
She then looked at Old Mr. Rong and said with a clear gaze in her eyes, “Grandpa, Qiange is my best friend. I’ve known him since I was 12 years old and we’ve been friends for ten years. I admit, we’re indeed very open with our close friendship but aren’t things like that very normal?”
“I know things are different here and people have different mindsets too. It was my negligence to have allowed the paparazzi to snap photos of me. I’m very sorry, this won’t happen again.”
Old Mr. Rong was not an obstinate person. Hence, his face became less stern after hearing Luo Anning’s words. However, he still gave her a stern warning. “Lass Anning, I’m in no place to meddle with your friendship with CEO Mo. However, you must be careful. You’re now the rascal’s wife and every move of yours will affect his pride, as well as the reputation of Baina International. Do you understand?”
Luo Anning looked down and said obediently, “I understand, Grandpa.”
“It’s best that you really do,” Old Mr. Rong said with a nod of satisfaction. He finally smiled benevolently, as if he was not that stern old man who was chiding her austerely.
After making things clear, Luo Anning and Rong Yan stayed behind for dinner. After dinner, Old Mr. Rong instructed Luo Anning to go to his room where he spoke to her for a long time before going downstairs.
They bade Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua goodbye before leaving in their car.
Rong Yan glanced at Luo Anning in the car and asked, “What did Grandpa say to you in the study?”
Luo Anning frowned and rubbed her forehead before answering perfunctorily, “Nothing much, he just urged me to give birth sooner.”
Actually, Old Mr. Rong had indeed urged her to give birth to a child with Rong Yan sooner, partly because he wanted to have a great-grandchild as soon as possible, and also because of the transaction they had.
She requested Old Mr. Rong to snatch the Anning Corporation back like he promised at the start. However, he turned her down.
He insisted that he would do it only after she gave birth. On top of that, he also mentioned that she would be free to do whatever she wanted to Luo Zhiquan and his family.
Luo Anning thought to herself, I am not stupid but why did I not think of that? Why did I not consider the fact that Old Mr. Rong might make me give birth to Rong Yan’s child!?!
Does he not know better than anyone else, that there are no true feelings between me and Rong Yan?
In that case, how could I give birth to Rong Yan’s child?
“If that’s all he said, you wouldn’t be reacting like this,” Rong Yan sneered, clearly not convinced by her answer.
Luo Anning decided not to explain since it was a deal between her and Old Mr. Rong. Hence, it had nothing to do with Rong Yan.
