Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole (3)

ldered.Jiang Cheng is like a big brother to her, even more so than her actual older brother, Lin Dong. He's intelligent, capable, kind, and good to his younger siblings. In her eyes, he's the most exc...Du Caiyi looked at him like that and felt powerless. She was reminded of how she had felt when facing Lin Meng before, a feeling like punching cotton. This frustrated her. But thinking about the position of her aunt, she forced down her anger and changed her attitude.

"Duodu, do you know why grandma is so anxious"

Rong Heng Duo remains silent.

Du Caiyi saw him looking so lifeless and felt anger welling up, but she could only continue with her serious and gentle tone.

“Grandma is so anxious, isn't it all for you, for your younger brother Dada, and for this family. Your parents are gone, and after that, you can only rely on grandpa and grandma. You two are still so young, grandma has to plan carefully for the both of you. Your grandfather has already stepped down from the head of the family, so his help will be limited in the future. Therefore, grandma can only do her best and try hard to take over the position of aunt. This way, your brothers will have a good future. To put it simply, if grandma becomes the aunt, and you become the head of the family later on, things will be twice as easy. Grandma knows that you've always been ambitious, so she sincerely doesn't want you to be inferior to others. Grandma is anxious today because aunt went to Rongling's house. You see, what if aunt this time goes there about the position of aunt and gives it to Lin Meng or someone else What should grandma do, how will you two brothers fare"

Du Caiyi pinched his shoulder gently, putting on a kind expression. Unfortunately, Rong Hentuo was as unresponsive as an unyielding monk, failing to fall for her act and responding to her words.

"Duoduo, grandma's asking for you!"

"I don't know."

"How could you not know" Du Caiyi's voice rose sharply with anger.

This time, Rong Hengduo simply kept his mouth shut. Du Caoyi's hand on his shoulder suddenly tightened. "Duo Duo, why are you so nonchalant Grandma is about to die of worry!"

Rong Hengduo remained silent as before.

Du Caiyi said a few more words, but seeing that he was still the same lifeless person, she immediately became furious.

"You this—" She was about to unleash a torrent of insults, but stopped abruptly. Forget it, she still needed him.

"That's it!" she said, her face darkening. "Grandma has a task for you, and you must complete it. Tomorrow, when you go to your uncle's house again, try to find out what your aunt is doing there!"

"Good." Rong Hengduo agreed this time very quickly, so quickly that Du Caixin's heart was finally somewhat satisfied.

That's more like it! Looks like she'll have to change her strategy from now on and just give the kid direct orders. No more asking him over and over again.

"Dúdú, grandma, you're our only hope!" A smile finally broke out on her face. "Our family still wants to rise again, and it all depends on you."

Rong Heng Duo nodded. This family will rise again, but it won't be through any underhanded means!

"Grandma, she's doing all this for the both of you!"

He fell silent.

Du Caiyi found it uninteresting and felt that he was becoming more and more like a closed book. She simply instructed him a few times not to tell anyone what she had said to him earlier, then let him go back to his room to rest. Then, she eagerly looked forward to the next day. But the next evening when Rong Henduo returned, the three words he gave her were still "I don't know," and Du Caiyi got angry.

What on earth are you doing How come you don't know

Rong Hengduo once again became a closed book, regardless of how Du Caiyi spoke or persuaded her, and eventually began to scold him, but he remained silent.

"Oh, dear! How could I possibly have a grandson like you!" Du Caixin angrily slapped Rong Hengduo's back with her hand. It was quite a forceful blow.

Rong Hengduo didn't dodge, he just stood there and went with her.

"You—you go find out more tomorrow. If you still can't find anything by then, you don't deserve to be my grandson Du Caiyi! My grandson Du Caiyi wouldn't be this foolish!"

The day after tomorrow, I won't go to my uncle's place because his family is going to J city for the weekend!

"What!"

Whenever Du Caiyi thought of the city, she would think of Rong Ma. And whenever she thought of Rong Ma, a strange fire ignited in her heart, and she felt her nose itch unbearably. It itched so badly that she couldn't help but reach out and rub her nose vigorously several times.

"You useless thing!" she slapped Rong Hengduo again, her hand raised with force. "Sending you to Rong Ling to learn was pointless! What have you learned Nothing at all, it's like you didn't even go!"

Rong Hengduo pursed his lips and endured.

Du Caiyi fired off a few more shots and yelled a few times before being interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Dúdú!"

Rong Fei Wu is here!

Du Caoyi was apprehensive, so she stopped.

"Oh, you child! You don't understand how much your grandmother has worried for you. She has really worked hard for all of you!"

She found the most grandiose excuse for her actions. Unfortunately, this childish trick wouldn't fool Rong Hengduo, but Rong Hengduo remained silent without comment.

In such an atmosphere, silence was his best choice!

"Alright, your grandfather's looking for you. Go on, go to him. [..tw super many good novels] If he asks, just say that I'm asking you about some things regarding your studies. Your grandfather hasn't been feeling well lately, so don't worry him!"

Rong Heng nodded.

Du Caiyi went and opened the door. Rong Feiwu just walked in with a dark face.

What are you two up to, and why have you locked the door!

"It's nothing, I just asked him about some school stuff."

Rong Fei Wu expressed doubt, snorted, and called Rong Hengduo away. Du Caiyi wasn't afraid that Rong Hengduo would reveal what she had asked him. After all, her intention to vie for the position of eldest aunt was a good thing, beneficial to the family. Even if Rong Fei Wu knew, he couldn't do anything about it. As for Rong Hengduo, if he really did tell on her, one set of words in front and another behind, then this grandson, she would truly have to "discipline" him well in the future.

Later, Rong Fei Wu's attitude remained unchanged, it seemed that Rong Heng Duo really didn't say anything. Du Cai Yi was secretly satisfied and on the weekend, she diligently went to her aunt's place, chatted for a bit, then took out time to take her two grandsons out for a while in the afternoon. This was both a show of respect to the family, paving the way for her succession, accumulating popularity and goodwill, but also a way to appease Rong Heng Duo.

Pay close attention. Your uncle's family went on a weekend trip, but they didn't take you with them. You and them are two separate families. And your grandmother is the only one who is truly related to you. We are the only real family.

Unintentionally, she conveyed this message to Rong Hengduo.

Only Rong Hengduo's expression was cold, the more he looked, the more he resembled Rong Ling's development trend. Du Caiyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart when she saw this. The younger grandson was so good, just like his father, with a smiling face and sweet words. He would do whatever he was asked and say whatever he was told. This eldest grandson, why is he so uncaring If he had half the disposition of the younger grandson, it would be fine.

Du Caoyi watched the two people, one moving and one still, comparing them in her heart several times, sighing with emotion.

It's just that she did this, but it didn't have much effect. Before, she had planted the seed and said those excessive things to Rong Hentuo. Now, asking her to act as if nothing happened and constantly care for Rong Hentuo with a smile, like a Buddha statue, was impossible. This former mistress of the house had an arrogant nature. She could release fake smiles and kindness towards people she disliked because of interests, but she couldn't do that to her own grandson. In her view, he was her grandson; beating him or scolding him was nothing. It was natural for a grandmother to discipline her grandson, so this attitude of hers would inadvertently show through. Rong Hentuo was inherently intelligent and sensitive, and after losing both his parents, he became even more so. He could actually feel all of Du Caiyi's actions.

He cooperated, willing to maintain this familial bond simply because this person was his grandmother. But when Du Caiyi erupted again, verbally abusing him brazenly, he felt it was enough!

Here's the translation:nghui, Chengyang, let's talk!"Ruan Chengyang was the first to stand up, impatiently flicking his face. "There's nothing to discuss!"Then, with a gloomy face, he rushed upstairs.Ruan Chenghui also stoo...
