Chapter 1160: Chapter 1161: Suddenly Giving Her a Card
âMiss Rong,â he said, not mincing his words, âyou may think youâre catching up to Shengxiaoâs pace because of your progress, but itâs only because he has stopped to wait for you. Ever since he has been with you, he has spent more time on you than he has on the company. Your smooth rise in the entertainment industry is largely due to the fact that heâs been paving the way for you. When do you plan to catch up to him, expecting him to take the other 99 steps for you after youâve taken just one? To you, is that what trying to keep up with his pace means?â
He was too sharp, far more incisive than Lin Teng or Su Yi, speaking directly and straightforwardly, laying out the blunt truth in front of Rong Yan for her to respond.
Rong Yan pursed her lips and took a deep breath, âNo. I will use all my abilities to get there as soon as possible. I wonât just let him accommodate me.â
âForgive my frankness, Miss Rong. Sometimes, the disparity between people isnât something you can close just by trying. Some people are born different from the very beginning. You and Shengxiao are just such a case,â Lin Wei said, not beating around the bush. He told her his plans that he had never shared with anyone else, âShengxiao will be the successor to the Lin Family, and all of the Lin Familyâs holdings in Zeka will be his to inherit. I donât mean any disrespect, Iâm simply stating the facts. Youâre not able to stand by his side. What he needs is a wife who can help him resolve worries and obstacles, not one who still requires his time and energy to care for. You can offer him too little, and what you need from him is too much. Right now, he likes you, so he doesnât mind. But when your affection wanes and he continues to give unilaterally, heâs bound to tire out one day.â
He took out a card and placed it on the table, âThis card is a gift Iâve prepared for you. Youâve given birth to a fine son for Shengxiao, and youâve brought him ease and joy during this time. Iâm grateful to you; the money inside is enough for you to spend for a lifetime.â
Rong Yan did not reach for the card. She looked up at him and asked, âDoes Old General Lin mean for me to take this money and leave?â
She didnât want the money, nor would she leave Li Shengxiao just because of a few words.
Love has never been about equality, about suitability.
It hadnât been easy for her and Li Shengxiao to get together. That man had given so much for her. If she simply gave up on him because of what an elder said, that would be the real betrayal.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wei denied it, âNo, thatâs not my intention for you to leave Shengxiao.â
Rong Yan was confused, âThen this cardâŠâ
Lin Wei pushed the card an inch closer to her again before continuing, âThis card is a small token from me, a thank you for giving birth to a smart and healthy great-grandson. Just accept it.â
Rong Yan still did not touch it, sitting up straight, pushing the card back to him, âHaving Little Baby was my own choice. He is also my precious child. If Old General Lin likes him, he can visit him at Dihor Garden. Thereâs no need for the gift. If you insist on giving something, perhaps buy Little Baby a small toy. He would be very happy.â
Her tone softened when she mentioned Little Baby, warm and filled with a motherâs love.
Listening to her, Lin Wei felt oddly moved. He slowly retracted the card he had intended to force on her. After a moment of silence, without further insistence, he said, âVery well, itâs alright if you donât accept it. Iâll hold onto it for you, and you can ask for it whenever you want. Miss Rong, since you wonât take the card, let me just cut to the chase.â
