a low growl: "If you really dare, then I won't keep my promise!"Xiao Yi's five fingers tightened, and her long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, appearing even colder. Did this woman know what she was...He's taken advantage of her, even though he always told her not to take him too seriously and that if she found someone suitable, she should just leave him for that person. But after all, this woman has wasted three years of her youth on him, and he bears some responsibility for it.

"I'll give you a ride!" he softened his tone and got out of the car first. Then, he walked around to the front and opened the door, politely inviting her out.

He Ya pursed her lips, not showing much expression. Her slender hand rested on his large palm, like a noble princess, gracefully getting out of the car.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the iron gate, finally reaching their destination.

"Come in!" Rong Ling was about to send him there.

He Ya lowered her head and was silent for several seconds. When she looked up, a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that in these few seconds, she had already completed her psychological construction.

"Be careful on the road!"

She rushed forward and hugged Rong Ling. Very quickly, in less than a second, she let go of Rong Ling and turned to hurriedly take out her card, swiped it once, pushed open the small door on the gate and walked inside.

Rong Ling looked at the scene with no expression on his face. After a while, his brow furrowed and he turned back to the car. There was still a battle to be fought. Just now, when he was driving, Old Master Rong had called him and asked him to send He Ya back before returning to the main house. He could basically guess what the content would be about.

As expected, Lao Yezi cut straight to the chase and made his position clear.

"Rong Ling, you should calm down!"

Between a father and son, there's no need for too much empty talk.

Rong Ling pursed his lips in silence, not responding, and made his attitude clear. He had to see what better reasons his father could come up with to get him to agree.

"The old master continued, "New Year's is almost here. After the New Year, you'll be 34 years old. At this age, if you don't get married, people outside will start to spread some bad rumors about you. A man who gets married is considered more stable and trustworthy by others. You should understand for yourself how much good a marriage can bring you!"

Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, spoke in a low voice, only two words: "Not yet!"

“Time is of the essence!” exclaimed Old Master Rong, but he shook his head. “Get engaged first, then married. In any case, before you turn 35, you must settle down. Of all the past clan heads, you are the latest to marry. If you keep dragging it on like this, it will cause unrest among the family members, leading to internal turmoil. As the head of the family, you have the obligation to maintain the stability of the entire clan!”

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Dad, you should believe in my abilities!"

Internal strife, how could it happen under his leadership!

Even the old master squinted, this son was too arrogant. Young people, truly don't know how high the heavens are and how thick the earth is!

You still don't have a legitimate son under your name. Each generation, the head of the family retires at around 50 years old, making way for new blood to take over. Rong Ling, I ask you, you will be 34 years old next year. Rushing and pushing yourself won't help! By the time you reach 50, how old will your child be! You might have the ability to hold onto the position of head of the family for a few more years, but those extra years are just not worth it! At least 23 years old is required to be the head of the family. Don't you think you should hurry up!

This location is so alluring! With no heir under your knee, it naturally gives others ideas. Down below, people will be constantly moving and scheming. Even if you had three heads and six arms, there are bound to be places you couldn't attend to. Once the internal strife grows too large, you know, those elders in your family have the right to remove you!

Furthermore, the head of the family isn't someone who can just be chosen at random. They need to be carefully cultivated from a young age so they can quickly become familiar with everything within the clan. You have no children, so when the time comes, you'll only be able to choose a few kids for special training!

That's true, now Rong Keng's son Rong Hentuo is basically enjoying the treatment that a master's son should have! After all, fortunes can change in an instant. The reason why the Rong family has remained so powerful is because they always take precautions and start cultivating backups early on. In this way, when the previous head of the family had no children, the backup would become the most likely candidate to ascend to the position of head of the family!

After a pause, the old master commanded directly without any room for objection: "Let's do this. I think He Ya who came to our house today is quite good. She comes from a prominent family too, and she's a good match for you. You two have known each other for so long, and you know each other well. If you don't have any special thoughts in your heart, just marry her. After the new year, you can get engaged first, make a grand start, and let the whole family share in the joy! Then, we'll slowly take care of all the wedding arrangements."

Rong Ling let out a cold snort in her heart. This father seemed to be truly thinking of his son. But if he was truly sincere, why didn't he remind him to get married when he was about to turn 30!

He is currently married. If he operates correctly, his son will be born the following year. By the time he reaches 50 years old, his son will only be 16 years old. What qualifications does he have to compete for the position of head of the family! In the end, he has only made wedding clothes for others!

Now it's getting urgent, almost a threatening reminder. His choices are pretty obvious, aren't they!

To say they didn't know about Youyou's existence is simply impossible!

Thus, in order to prevent his hard work from being stolen by outsiders, he had to expose Youyou. But how could Youyou be exposed! His mother was now Mrs. Ruan. If this got out, wouldn't it be a huge joke! How could a child with such an identity win the love and respect of the clan members! If he took the step of acknowledging his child, basically, it would be a dead end.

If we don't bring the child back, now rushing to get married is useless! In that case, Rong Heng Duo will basically become the legitimate heir!

This move basically sealed YouYou's future, leaving him with no way out!

This must be Rong Qikeng's point!

The old man didn't really care about him before, turning a blind eye for a long time. How come he suddenly became so domineering!

They came up with a good idea, thinking he definitely wouldn't be willing to hand over his business to Rong Hengduo, so they would definitely bring Youyou out. Then they would have something to write about, right!

Aren't they just itching for it! They can't wait another decade or so until he steps down; they want to bring him down as soon as possible, smear his name!

Rong Ling let out another sneer in her heart. What a good calculation!

If he's free, he might as well play with them!

"I need to think about this carefully!" He said, offering a pretext.

The old master was satisfied with Rong Ling's attitude and nodded. "Well, it's a major life decision, you should think about it carefully. But don't take too long. You have to be proactive about your own affairs."

Rong Ling nodded and got up to leave. He never lived with this family! That belonged to his brother Rong Qikeng, not him, Rong Ling!

The next day's newspaper was quite interesting and was delivered to Rong Ling's office first thing in the morning.

Rong Ling and He Ya's experience last night was on the newspaper. The newspaper photographed He Ya entering Rong's large mansion, and also photographed Rong Ling sending He Ya home. Especially at the end, the scene where He Ya hugged Rong Ling was placed in the largest size on the newspaper.

Is there good news coming soon for the family

Since the New Noble Times last exposed Rong Ling, the outside world's attention to him has increased. He is handsome and wealthy, truly the most desirable marriage partner for women! This is also the first time in the past four years that the mysterious president of the Asian-Eastern Group has been widely exposed.

That day, despite being printed in an endless stream, the Xin Gui Times was still in short supply. This achievement made many other newspapers envious. Feng Tan's challenge to Rong Ling broke the situation where only Biyi Entertainment could report on Rong Ling. Many other entertainment companies also began to stir.

This time, Feng Tan's Tianye Entertainment made a heavy blow, almost setting the industry on fire. Many people couldn't hold back anymore. Although they didn't dare to provoke Rong Ling, the giant, they blocked He Ya's door. So when He Ya drove out "unaware," she was intercepted by a large group of reporters. When she rolled down the window and shouted at them to leave, the flashbulbs went off, and the reporters bombarded her with questions about her relationship with Rong Ling. The scene basically got out of control.

Thus, after being photographed by reporters for about ten seconds, she very well expressed her "shock" and "confusion", then "immediately" rolled up the car window and called Rong Ling.

"Brother Rong, where are you now!" Her voice betrayed her anxiety. "There are so many reporters at my doorstep right now, asking about the two of us. What should we do Has something happened"

A cold light flashed in Rong Ling's eyes.

"It's okay, just don't say anything."

"Oh," He Ya behaved very obediently, but also a little disappointed.

"I have something else to do, see you later!"

Rong Ling took the lead in cutting off the phone, his long eyebrows slightly raised, revealing two sword-like glares.

Feng Tan, it seems I have no choice but to take action!

Picking up the phone, he dialed.

"Hey, Third Brother, how's the stuff you prepared to deal with Tianye coming along!"

Things are getting interesting, others are still going on!

"Alright, go ahead and publish those first. Keep doing the rest as usual!"

"Great!"

After hanging up the phone, Rong Ling recalled the reporters swarming He Ya's house. A smile like that of a grim reaper played on his lips.

It seems that life has been too comfortable, causing them to forget what death feels like. He needs to find a new target and make an example of someone!

Being decisive and swift is Rong's style of doing things, and it's also the style of his brothers.

The next day, several newspapers under the Biyi Entertainment umbrella published a scandal involving a female star, capturing her in compromising images with a businessman, showing her half-dressed and heavily intoxicated. This female star belonged to Tianye Entertainment and was once a top actress known as a "pure goddess" by the public. Now, the "pure goddess" has transformed into a "desire woman."

As soon as the news broke, there was an uproar. Reporters shifted their focus and swarmed the actress. At her residence, possible office locations, and Tianye Entertainment's headquarters, reporters were like relentless flies, buzzing around everywhere.

Feng, as the CEO, was extremely enraged by the news. He immediately asked the actress's agent over for an explanation, but it was too late. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words, and the photos had already been published prominently. Now, the focus was on damage control. It is foreseeable that all films, advertisements, and interview programs related to the actress will have to be suspended. This is equivalent to cutting off Tianye's cash cow overnight, and the losses are naturally enormous!

To cultivate a "pure goddess" who is liked and recognized by most audiences, the time, money, sweat, and hard work put in are not achieved overnight. It takes several years of effort to grow!

But the "Jade Maiden" was destroyed in a mere day or two!

Feng's talking about wanting to curse!

It's obvious, Rong Ling has made a move!

Brutal! Ruthless!

Feng Tan immediately fought back, the next day revealing the drug use of a top male star under Biyi Entertainment. However, Biyi immediately held a press conference, facing all media personnel, stating that the company had already discovered the actor's misconduct. After repeated dissuasions failed, and with the actor's consent, they had reached a termination agreement a month ago for when his contract expired this year. The company's press officer displayed the termination agreement between Biyi and the actor in front of everyone, confirming the timeframe.

The entertainment industry is largely like this, if you want to renew your contract or switch jobs, you have to start working on it in advance to avoid any unpleasant situations when your contract expires.

Thus, the biyi greatly salvaged the company's image!

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that BiYi was at war with TianYe. For a time, other entertainment companies were delighted, each secretly hoping the two would fight tooth and nail. In their eyes, "may the best company win" meant they'd benefit from the chaos, surpassing both in the process.

So, other news outlets are doing a great job of fanning the flames between the two!

In a few days, another bombshell was dropped by the gossip account "Biyi." It revealed that a top male star under Tianye Entertainment is already married and has a 6-year-old son. This male star is over forty years old, but he has always pretended to be young and maintained a single image, gaining the love of female fans from all walks of life. Once his marriage and fatherhood were revealed, several incidents of female fans across the country committing suicide after being devastated by the news occurred.

This message is quite negative, the male star's corresponding media operations have also been forced to be suspended!d his father, who only caused trouble for him, became complicated!"Yoyo, grandma knows she was wrong and got punished by daddy!""Oh!" the little guy blinked curiously.“Daddy punished Grandma to reflec...
