Story: Noble Marriage

"He won’t show any mercy, he will still want to monopolize Rong Shaoze’s wealth. Madam, let him take it all, what’s most important is that you take care of your health."

Rong’s mother suddenly opened her eyes wide and said harshly, "Impossible! If he wants to touch Shaoze’s wealth, I’ll die and let him see! I want everyone to know that it was him who stole everything from Shaoze, make him unable to hold his head up in public, and let him carry this stain forever!"

Lin Xinlan sighed, Rong’s mother was too strong-willed.

Perhaps it was not the wealth she was fighting for, she just couldn’t bear the thought of Shaoze’s belongings simply becoming someone else’s.

In this world, only a parent would go to such lengths for their child.

"Madam, I understand your feelings. But if you give up your life for nothing, and later Shaoze comes back and you are not here anymore, imagine how sad he will be."

As soon as Rong Shaoze was mentioned, Rong’s mother’s eyes reddened again, and she felt like crying.

"If Shaoze could come back, I would be willing to trade my life for his. But he won’t come back. It’s been so long; if he was worried about me, he would have contacted me by now. There’s been no word from him at all, he must be... gone..."

She didn’t want to deceive herself any longer.

Rong Shaoze was shot and fell into the sea, and at that time, there was no one there to rescue him. How could he possibly have survived?

Keep in mind, it only takes a person ten or twenty minutes to drown in water.

Moreover, by the time the American police found them, several hours had already passed.

No one could survive for that long.

He truly was dead, truly dead!

Rong’s mother finally accepted this fact, and suddenly overwhelmed by grief, she covered her face and wept uncontrollably.

Her sobs were heart-wrenching, and even Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but feel a wave of sadness.

"Madam, please don’t be like this. Didn’t we agree to believe that he is still alive, that he definitely will come back alive?"

"He won’t come back, he won’t..." Rong’s mother shook her head frantically, weeping, "My son is already dead, otherwise he would never have left me worried for so long. He really is dead... Yaozong is dead, Shaoze is dead, what is the point of me living..."

Rong’s mother’s heart was ashen, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "I don’t even care about this life anymore, what else is there to be afraid of? Alright, I will fight him. With this life, I will ruin his reputation!"

Lin Xinlan listened with a shudder of fear, quickly asking, "Madam, what are you planning to do?"

Rong’s mother pursed her lips and remained silent but her expression was resolute, as if she had firmly decided to do something desperate.

"Madam, please don’t do anything foolish. Shaoze will definitely come back, you must wait for his return. If something happens to you, it will break his heart!"

"I’m tired, you can go now," Rong’s mother said as she turned her body away from her, her expression detached.

"Madam..." No matter what Lin Xinlan said, Rong’s mother was unmoved.

She had already convinced herself that Rong Shaoze was dead and had made up her mind not to live any longer. Now, no matter what Xinlan said, she would not listen.

Lin Xinlan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and helplessness.

What should she do?

Just stand by and watch Rong’s mother die?

She could prevent this, but if she chose not to intervene, how would she face Shaoze later?

If he found out, he would surely hate her to death.

And she didn’t want such a tragedy to happen...

Lin Xinlan silently resolved herself; at this point, she had no other choice.
