The next day, Murong Rong went to the agreed coffee shop early in the morning.
She asked for a glass of hot water and sat quietly on her seat waiting.
"Sorry for the waitting."
When Murong Rong heard the voice and raised her head, she saw Lin Lanxin walking over. She immediately stood up and said cautiously: "No, no, I came a little earlier. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do. I'm waiting here."
It’s also more peaceful.”
"So, are you complaining to me that all the orders you received were canceled because of me? Murong Rong, are you holding me accountable and blaming me?"
"No, I didn't."
Since the last personal fashion show, Murong Rong has accumulated a lot of items in her hands. After the news that Lin Lanxin wanted to accept her as her apprentice spread, the work at hand became even more full.
However, after the incident at the apprenticeship banquet spread, the wealthy ladies who invited her to design dresses all made excuses and returned the orders.
She also suddenly returned to a more leisurely state than when she first joined the company.
Even so, she didn't have any resentment towards Lin Lanxin.
Lin Lanxin ordered a latte and waited until the waiter brought the coffee. Then she looked up at Murong Rong, who was standing aside obediently. She raised her chin and motioned for her to sit down.
"Were you thinking just now whether I would accept you as my disciple?"
Murong Rong's expression suddenly became tense. She wanted to calm down, but when she heard Lin Lanxin's words, she still couldn't help but look at her.
"It seems I was right." Lin Lanxin picked up her coffee and took a sip: "My decision to accept you as my disciple can remain unchanged. After all, I am very satisfied with your talent."
Murong Rong was silent for a moment and then said: "What are your requests?"
Lin Lanxin raised her eyes and glanced at Murong Rong: "You are more alert than I thought."
Murong Rong smiled bitterly: "I'm just not that naive."
Her childhood experience told her that pie never falls in the sky.
Lin Lanxin looked at the bitterness in the corner of Murong Rong's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
She looked at Murong's beautiful appearance. She really liked this girl who was as old as her daughter. It was true that she wanted to accept her as her disciple and protect her as she grew up.
When he spoke again, his tone was inexplicably softer: "My request is very simple. You are done with Rong Jiuci. As long as you promise not to see Rong Jiuci again from now on, the apprenticeship banquet you had before will still count."
Thinking of that night, my daughter came back from outside in the middle of the night. She, who was always stubborn, lay in her arms and cried like a three-year-old child. She cried with tears and blood: "Jiu Ci wants to follow the woman outside for the sake of that woman outside."
I break off the engagement! Mom, I can’t live without Jiu Ci! If he refuses to marry me, I would rather die!"
Lin Lanxin scolded her daughter severely.
Her daughter should be as proud and noble as a princess, how can she cry out not to live because of a man.
Sure enough, her daughter stopped talking, but her tears fell even more violently, and the sound of crying pierced her heart like a knife.
Lin Lanxin looked at Murong Rong: "I know that girls like you try hard to cling to Rong Jiuci, just for the sake of glory and wealth. If you agree to my conditions, the life you want can be realized, and I will also
Let you be beautiful and admired wherever you go.
Instead of trying your best to hold on to a man who is high in the clouds like now, even if Rong Jiuci is somewhat sincere to you now, it is still impossible for you to marry into the Rong family. Murong Rong, you are smart
People should know what choice is best for you."
The more Murong Rong listened, the colder her heart became. Although Lin Lanxin's words were gentle, every word was filled with disdain.
In fact, this is normal, but Murong Rong felt more uncomfortable than ever before. She took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "You are exaggerating. In fact, I have never been a smart person."
A smart person would never end up like this.
"So, you are going to refuse." Lin Lanxin frowned: "I advise you to think clearly. Your refusal will only make you offend me."
"If you are willing to step back, I can not only accept you as my disciple, but also recognize you as my goddaughter. From now on, you will be the second young lady of the Ye family."
This is really the most straightforward warning and the most obvious temptation.
Although the Ye family is not as good as the Rong family, it is still a truly first-class wealthy family. The second young lady of the Ye family can truly reach the sky in one step for a person of her status.
Murong Rong was silent, and after a moment he looked up at Lin Lanxin: "Thank you very much for your respect and praise."
Lin Lanxin was very surprised. She never thought that Murong Rong would refuse.
"Can I ask why?"
Because Ye Wanxin.
Murong Rong knew it well, but no matter how good Lin Lanxin promised it, from the day An An's identity was exposed, she and Ye Wanxin were two opposites.
The sweet girl of heaven who grew up with countless pampers could not accept that the man she loved had an illegitimate daughter.
She couldn't bear to blame her beloved, she and An An were the original sin.
That day, Ye Wanxin suddenly broke into Repulse Bay and had people throw them out. This is the best evidence.
But she didn't care, she had never thought about Rong Jiuci.
But An An can't do it, not only due to An An's illness, but also because An An needs a father, and she also likes Rong Jiuci as her father.
But Murong Rong did not explain these words to Lin Lanxin. She knew very well that in the heart of Lin Lanxin, a mother, Ye Wanxin was the best.
Murong Rong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I want to hit the south wall."
Lin Lanxin knew there was no need to say any more, so she put down the coffee cup in her hand: "In that case, I'll leave first."
"I'll send it to Master."
Lin Lanxin did not refuse and walked out of the coffee shop with Murong Rong by her side.
When she arrived at the door, Lin Lanxin turned to look at the beautiful Murong Rong beside her and said, "The road ahead is a bit difficult, but you have to rely on yourself."
"Thank you, Master Lin, for reminding me." Murong Rong stopped calling her "Master" because she knew that Lin Lanxin would never accept her as her disciple again.
Lin Lanxin smiled at Murong Rong, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, with a gentle expression as if facing a junior.
She didn't say anything more, turned and left.
Murong Rong did not leave, and kept standing there watching Lin Lanxin, the scene of getting along with Lin Lanxin a while ago kept reappearing in his mind.
That was one of the few times in her life where she was cared for by her elders.
It's a pity that it won't happen again in the future.
Murong Rong sighed longly, his expression full of sadness.
In the corner where Murong Rong didn't notice, Li Xiuqin saw all this scene.
Her face, which looked old due to hard work, was full of horror.
How...how could this happen?
How did Murong Rong and Madam Ye know each other?
It seems so close.
Could it be...
Thinking of something, Li Xiuqin was confused for a moment.
