Rong Yin watched his reaction and saw his troubled expression. A trace of pain flickered in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. His father had always favored his elder brother and treated him harshly.
He looked at his father indifferently and said, "I know you'll be shocked. When you hear that I might not be your child, you're very calm. But that's the truth. No matter how much you dote on Rong Yao, he is not your child. And he already knows the truth and is trying to transfer family assets. If you really dislike me, and don't like my elder brother, then I will move to live with my elder brother and will not stay at home. I will also go to Jinshi to live with my elder brother."
"I've never felt brotherly affection since childhood. Rong Yao has always been unreasonable. But my biological elder brother, when Rong Yao had me assassinated a while ago, he almost died saving me. So, if you really can't bear to part with them, then live with Rong Yao. I won't live with you."
Rong Yin said this out of anger and true hurt, but mostly disappointment.
Rong Sheng and Feng Lifeng's faces changed.
Rong Sheng looked at his son in shock. He remembered last time he didn't believe Rong Yin but instead believed Rong Yao's words and beat and scolded his younger son.
How much pain was that child in at that time?
Feng Lifeng looked at her son, her heart aching: "Yinyin, why would you think that? How could Mom and Dad not want you? How could we not like you?"
"Although your father often scolds you, you are his pride. He was afraid you were too impetuous and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, so he wanted to suppress your temper. Did you misunderstand your father's good intentions?"
Rong Yin had been excellent and proud since childhood, never putting anyone in his eyes.
Rong Sheng dared not be careless. When he was carried away by his success, he couldn't help but mock him.
But they never dreamed that their son would think they didn't want him anymore.
Rong Yin glanced at his father and found it amusing, "Am I an idiot? Am I a fool? Don't I know that a tall tree catches the wind?"
"But I am naturally outstanding and arrogant, yet not ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?"
"Although I've been to the police station often for fighting over the years, did you give me a chance to tell you the truth? Someone bullied me, so I beat them. Someone made the first move, so I moved?"
"Did you ever investigate the truth of these matters? You knew nothing, only scolding and hitting me. Do you think this is how you can educate me well?"
"You should be fortunate that under your educational methods, I can still become a genius and be respectfully called Young Master by others."
After Rong Yin finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank all the tea in it.
Rong Sheng was stunned and looked at his son, at a loss.
Lu Chengsi and his wife also felt a bit uncomfortable. They were here to discuss matters.
How did they bring up Rong Yin's family affairs?
"Mr. Rong, Mrs. Rong, let's talk about the child swap. We found that Mrs. Rong's situation back then was the same as my wife's. She fell into a coma after giving birth."
"The purpose was to prevent the mothers from knowing what their children looked like. There must have been people from the hospital involved, but over twenty years have passed, and there's no way to investigate."
"However, we suspect that all of this is related to the Yang family."
Rong Sheng said, "My family offended that old man. Sheng Yan Commercial Plaza. My father bid for this piece of land with him back then, and our family finally got the land. He might have held a grudge."
Lu Chengsi frowned, "But our family didn't offend him, nor did we have business dealings with his family. Although we are both in Modu, we mind our own business. I just can't understand why he would swap my daughter."
"Ah... the one swapped in your family was a daughter?"
Rong Sheng was stunned!
Lu Chengsi nodded.
"Alas, I've seen your daughter. She doesn't have a proper job yet, does she? Although her family's conditions are good, young people nowadays are self-reliant and rarely rely on their families. Like my youngest, she started her own business with scholarship money during university and never took a cent from home."
Rong Yin: "..."
He smiled self-deprecatingly. It was only in front of outsiders that he was excellent in his father's words.
Lu Chengsi's expression turned a little unpleasant. Wasn't this praising his son and belittling his daughter?
"Alas, I've seen your eldest son too. Not only is he idle, but he's also a coward."
"I remember at a banquet once, he hit on a young girl who had a boyfriend, and then he was beaten by her boyfriend. He was so scared that he crawled under the table."
How about that? Enough to make you angry, right?
Now it was Rong Sheng's turn to look unhappy.
"That unfilial son, he isn't my son." Rong Sheng's face was flushed with anger.
Hmph! She's not my daughter either, so why aren't you saying anything nicer?
Jin Yan shook her head slightly. These two only knew how to bicker.
"Mr. Rong, Mrs. Rong, we are bringing this up so that we can all find clues together. The children are all in danger now, and my daughter has already encountered danger."
"There's one more thing I haven't told you. Your son and my daughter were adopted by the same family and grew up together. They are now like siblings and live together."
Feng Lifeng's pupils trembled. Thinking of her son whom she had never met, her heart ached deeply.
She was not worthy of being a mother. She didn't even recognize her own son and had never suspected that her son was not her biological child.
She choked up, "Mrs. Lu, thank you for telling us the truth. If there's anything, we'll contact you anytime. We can't let the children be in danger."
Jin Yan nodded. Being a mother herself, she understood Feng Lifeng's feelings.
"Okay! But it's better that we know about this and don't reveal it yet, otherwise, the children will be in danger."
After the two families discussed, Lu Chengsi took Jin Yan and left first.
Rong Yin felt he had said what he needed to say, and it was time for him to leave.
He stood up, and Rong Sheng said with a stern face, "Sit down!"
Rong Yin said expressionlessly, "I'm not in the mood to listen to your lectures!"
Rong Sheng finally looked up at him and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry! Dad was wrong!"
Rong Yin was stunned, thinking he had misheard. He slowly lowered his head and met his father's gaze, which was filled with regret. His father was no longer young, and his eyes were slightly cloudy, but they couldn't hide his innate shrewdness and sharpness.
He hadn't misheard. His father was apologizing to him.
"Yinyin, Rong Yao is unpromising. I wanted to encourage him, so I spoke kindly to him. But you've been excellent since childhood. I was afraid you'd go astray, so I suppressed you appropriately. It was Dad's method that was wrong. Dad is sorry to you and has hurt your heart."
He had always wanted to treat the three children equally.
He had never intended to favor anyone.
After all, it was his father. Hearing these words, he felt much better. He sat back down.
With his legs crossed and a nonchalant air, he asked, "Do you want to see a photo of my elder brother?"
