Rong Yanâs bright eyes looked toward him, gleaming as if they could see through oneâs soul, âRong Mu is at least eight years old, and my Little Baby is only five. Mr. Rong wants to use a 5-year-old child to exchange for an 8-year-old, and he even says itâs because the 8-year-old is too young. Do you think that makes any sense?â
âMoreover, I donât believe you, nor do I believe anyone from the Rong Family!â
When Rong Weiwei heard Rong Yan admit that she had secretly given birth abroad five years ago before marriage, she was overwhelmed with emotion and couldnât wait to find the childâs whereabouts. She wasnât willing to see Rong Yan just âheartlesslyâ reject Rong Nanfeng and interjected eagerly, âSister, Dad didnât mean that. When the kidnappers called home, they let us hear Muâs voice. Mu is in a bad condition, running a high fever. We are just too worried, afraid that if the ransom isnât handed over in time, Mu wonât be able to hold on. Thatâs why we came to ask sister for help.â
âDad will definitely pay the 50 million ransom to the kidnappers. If youâre not at ease, you can join Dad to prepare the money. Once the funds are in place, you can immediately transfer the money to them. They said, as long as we give them the money, they wonât harm the hostage in their hands.â
Rong Nanfeng also came to his senses, knowing that being forceful was useless, and lowered his stance, his whole demeanor appearing suddenly aged ten years, he said wearily and pleadingly, âYanâer, Iâm begging you, okay? Iâm asking you this one time. Let that child exchange Mu out, as long as Mu is safe, I can kneel before you if you want!â
Kneeling is out of the question.
He is a father, and he knows that Rong Yan wouldnât want him to kneel.
But his concern is genuine. If he did not care, he wouldnât have agreed to Jiang Meiqiâs conditions to give Rong Mu a legitimate status, willingly investing a billion in Rong Weiweiâs movie just to let Rong Mu acknowledge his ancestry and be linked to Jiang Meiqiâs name.
To him, his son is the continuation of his bloodline, and at his age, itâs not possible for him to have another son.
Rong Mu is his precious child, his bottom line.
For Rong Muâs safety, humbling himself to beg Rong Yan is just a small matter to him.
âYanâer, Iâm begging you, please help your brother. Heâs still too young; he shouldnât suffer any mishap. I⦠Iâm begging you.â
He steeled his heart and made as if to kneel before Rong Yan.
Rong Weiwei exclaimed in shock, supporting him, âDad, what are you doing!â
âGet away!â Rong Nanfeng shook off her hand, his face somber, gazing at Rong Yan, as if he would genuinely kneel before Rong Yan outside if she did not agree.
However, while the gesture was made, he did not continue with the action.
Instead, he called out Rong Yanâs name pleadingly once more, âYanâer, Iâm begging you. Your brother has never met you, and heâs always asking me about his sister⦠Yanâer, please, for my sake, for the sake of having raised you for over ten years, even if you resent me, just help your brother this onceâ¦â
âJust this once, okay? Iâm begging you.â
Rong Weiwei had not expected Rong Nanfeng to be so desperate. He had already said all she had planned to argue, and she raised her eyebrows, masking her inner delight, waiting for Rong Yanâs reaction.
Any person not made of stone would find it impossible to refuse help in this situation. As long as Rong Yan agreed to help, that illegitimate child would inevitably be exposed, and as soon as she found that child, she would immediately contact the media for exposure.
