Chapter 298: Chapter 298: A King Meets a King

As long as Rong Shaoze wasn’t truly in love with her, she would have a chance to escape.

The fear was that he had fallen for her.

After all, love would at least last for three years, and she didn’t want to stay by his side for three years.

A young master of a grand household like Rong Shaoze, his favorite thing was to linger among the flowers. Perhaps, his interest in her would last at most, at most half a year.

She truly hoped that after half a year, she would be able to leave him.

"Come with me tomorrow," he insisted without giving up.

Did she even have a chance to refuse?

"...Okay," she replied.

Early in the morning, the media were already blocking the entrance to Shengjue; as soon as Rong Shaoze’s car stopped, they swarmed around it.

"Mr. Rong, do you truly hold fifty-one percent of Rong Family’s shares in your hands?" the journalists asked.

"Mr. Rong, do you plan on striking back, using your shares to reclaim the position of president?"

...

Lin Xinlan slightly furrowed her brows. With so many journalists, how were they going to get out?

Rong Shaoze’s hands were resting on the steering wheel, his fingers lightly tapping, without any intention of getting out of the car.

After a moment, a group of security guards ran over and held the journalists back.

Only then did Rong Shaoze open the car door, walked over to Lin Xinlan’s side, opened it for her, and took her hand, inviting her out.

"Mrs. Rong, what do you think about Mr. Rong’s method of acquiring shares this time?"

"Mrs. Rong, are you accompanying Mr. Rong because you are worried about him facing all the shareholders alone?"

"Mrs. Rong..."

The reporters, seeing Lin Xinlan, crowded and jostled each other trying to interview her first.

Rong Shaoze held her shoulders, turned back with a charming smile, and said gracefully, "My wife and I attend together because we are a couple; whatever difficulties we face, we will face them together. Thank you, everyone."

Lin Xinlan looked at him in surprise. He lowered his gaze and returned her a gentle smile.

Indeed, he displayed their affection in front of the cameras.

By tomorrow, many people would know her identity and how good her relationship with Rong Shaoze was.

Lin Xinlan lowered her gaze slightly. The words Rong Shaoze had just spoken had pushed her one step deeper into the abyss.

Leaving his calm life behind had become even more difficult.

Even though Rong Shaoze was no longer the president of Shengjue, his treatment was the same as the president’s.

Escorted by special attendants, they took the president’s private elevator to the top floor.

All the shareholders had already arrived, and the large meeting room was dead silent.

Rong Shaoze asked his former secretary Su to attend to Lin Xinlan, and then he entered the meeting room alone.

As the door to the meeting room closed, Lin Xinlan looked through the glass wall and saw Rong Shaoze, his expression calm and composed, not his usual flamboyant self.

Rong Mingyan stood up to shake hands with him, the two of them standing face to face, like kings meeting kings.

The public security authorities had already started an investigation into Rong Shaoze’s bulk purchase of shares, and there were two uniformed police officers in the meeting room.

Secretary Su took Lin Xinlan to the lounge and asked with a just-right smile, "Mrs. Rong, what would you like to drink?"

"Just water, please. Thank you," she answered.

"You’re welcome," said Secretary Su as he handed her a glass of water and a stack of magazines before going back to work.

Rong Shaoze operated the computer, brought up the shares he held, and showed them to everyone.

"I only hold thirty-five percent of the shares. Who spread the rumor that I have fifty-one percent? And who said I was selling off shares?"
