His heart ached for his mother’s forbearance and he could not help but to feel sorry for his mother. He felt sorry for his mother who looked glorious on the surface and was envied by tens of thousands of people but was filled with endless misery.

Back then, Rong Li protected the mistress and the illegitimate child perfectly, and Jiang Peihua had no choice but to suck it up.

She was afraid that Jiang Tianxiong would kill Rong Li in a fit of anger. She was even more afraid that the matter would ruin the reputation of the Rong Family and the Jiang Family.

Back then, there was a change in personnel due to the completion of a term in office, so there was no way the Jiang Family could afford to be involved in a scandal…

After Rong Li’s death, Old Mr. Rong tried to find his remaining grandson and secretly raise him. Unfortunately, the results of the investigation showed that the mistress had left the country with her son and the plane had crashed.

No one survived.

Rong Li’s sudden death made Old Mr. Rong feel extremely sad. At the same time, he felt even more guilty towards Jiang Peihua.

Rong Yan was the only heir of the Rong Family and hence, Old Mr. Rong doted on him more than anyone else.

It was because of this that Rong Yan was so filial to Jiang Peihua and Old Mr. Rong, even though he was forced to marry Luo Anning.

No one knew that his father had already become an indelible shadow in his heart. What he hated the most was those who betrayed their marriage…

Due to such hatred, he would never be like his father. Hence, he would rather resort to forceful means than let Luo Anning get a divorce.

Upon sight of Kristen, the bloodthirst in his heart began to boil.

Kristen’s existence was the greatest insult to him and his mother.

He would not allow such an insult to exist.

When Luo Anning realized that Rong Yan was behaving strangely, it was already too late. He snatched the gun away from her and loosened his grip on her waist. In the next second, Rong Yan had already rushed towards Kristen.

The gun was aimed at his forehead.

At the same time, Rong Yan’s bodyguards immediately aimed their guns at Kristen.

“No!” Luo Anning barked.

“Rascal, you can’t!” Old Mr. Rong yelled in panic.

Catherine frowned slightly and slid her left hand down to her waist. Just as she was about to make a move, Kristen stopped her and stared at Rong Yan calmly. “You won’t benefit from killing me unless you want to lose Anning.”

Rong Yan smirked and said sinisterly, “Rong Yu, right? Do you know that ever since I found out that you were around, I’ve been thinking of getting rid of you personally and taking revenge for my mother. I didn’t expect you to survive that plane crash. Seems like the heavens are giving me a chance to fulfill my wishes.”

Kristen, who resembled him, pursed his lips with a dark glint in his eyes. Jiang Peihua said softly, “Rascal, put the gun down.”

Kristen was right. If he were to die, Rong Yan would probably never be able to be with Luo Anning again.

His appearance would reduce the obstacles in front of them.

That was why she had invited Kristen to Old Mr. Rong’s place despite the misery and humiliation she felt.

“Mother, do you know what you’re talking about?” Rong Yan stubbornly refused to put his gun down. “His existence is an insult to us!”

Jiang Peihua took a deep breath and did not answer him. Instead, she looked at Luo Anning and waved at her. “Lass Anning, come here.”
