Chapter 13: Returning To Old Mr. Rong's Place (2)
Old Mr. Rong was seated in the living room, appearing rather strong and energetic despite being 80 years old. He was at the peak of his health and was very fit too, because he often worked out and trained hard. Rong Yan’s father passed away at a young age, leaving behind only his mother, Jiang Peihua.
Although Jiang Peihua was middle-aged, she still looked rather young and beautiful like women who were in their thirties, all thanks to her meticulous skin care techniques that helped maintain her youthful looks. She exuded a natural elegance.
Rong Yan was rather compliant towards his two remaining kinsmen and even allowed Old Mr. Rong to decide his marriage.
“Grandpa, Mother, I’m sorry to have made you guys wait so long for me,” Luo Anning greeted politely. Her obedience was to the joy of Old Mr. Rong who grinned widely from ear to ear.
Rong Yan said with a faint smile, “Grandpa, Mother, we’re home.”
Old Mr. Rong chuckled and said to Luo Anning, “Lass, come over here and sit with Grandpa.”
Luo Anning walked towards Old Mr. Rong obediently, after which he swiftly whipped out a rectangular embroidered box and placed it in front of her. “Lass, open it and see if you like it or not.”
Jiang Peihua chimed in, “Anning, Father has been looking forward to seeing you and he even prepared a gift for you beforehand. He just bought a green diamond ring during an auction in New York last week so he got the little rascal to bring you here.”
Luo Anning opened the embroidered box to see that there was a bright and shiny emerald green diamond ring inside the box. She fell in love with it at first sight. “Thank you, Grandpa. I really like this gift. I’m sorry to have made you splurge again.”
