The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO-Chapter 6 - Do You Want To Switch Back to Rong Mei'er?
6 Do You Want To Switch Back to Rong Mei’er?
About twenty minutes later, the Rong family returned. When they saw the second young master of the Jiang family, they were happy but nervous at the same time.
Back when the second young master came to the Jiang family to propose marriage and chose Rong Mei’er to be the bride, they all thought that Rong Mei’er was going to marry the second young master. No one knew that he was arranging the marriage for the first young master.
Tang Beibei ended up being married to the sickly man of the Jiang family. They heard that the sickly man was not favored in the Jiang family, so they didn’t bother much with the wedding. They didn’t expect the newlyweds to visit the bride’s family home today.
Jiang Minglang ran out of patience. “How did the woman who was supposed to marry my big brother, Rong Mei’er, become Tang Beibei? How dare the Rong family trick the Jiang family? Do you think that the Jiang family will just take this sitting down?”
Jiang Minglang brought up the Jiang family name, and the Rongs were so scared that their legs went soft.
How would they dare to humiliate the Jiang family? They were a top-notch wealthy family, and their company was world-famous. The Rongs paled into insignificance when compared to the Jiangs.
But Rong Mei’er didn’t want to marry a dying man, and their second daughter was young and beautiful. Rong Yong didn’t dare to offend the Jiang family, so the only thing he could do was to offer his illegitimate daughter, Tang Beibei.
He thought that this matter was over after Tang Beibei married the sickly man. He didn’t expect the second young master to come here and question them.
Rong Yong was vexing over how he would solve this problem when his second daughter Rong Chan’er said, “Second young master, it’s not that my elder sister doesn’t want to get married. It was Tang Beibei who begged my sister and said that she wanted to marry the first young master and become the first young madam of the Jiang family. She somehow tricked my ignorant sister into going overseas.”
“My parents had no choice but to let her marry him. We wouldn’t dare to trick you. My parents just did their best to fulfill Tang Beibei’s wishes.”
Crash!
Rong Chan’er’s shoulders trembled in fear as she looked at the broken pieces on the ground.
Jiang Minglang smashed a cup in anger. If they had told him in advance that they wanted to switch brides, he might have been okay.
He couldn’t let a stunner like Tang Beibei marry his sickly brother!
Tang Beibei wanted to defend herself when she heard Rong Chan’er’s accusation. It was not like that at all, but Jiang Jingchen grabbed her hand.
Jiang Jingchen said to her softly, “I’ll never let my people get hurt. Wait.”
Tang Beibei looked at him in a daze. He said that she was his people.
For some reason, she was secretly happy and subconsciously chose to trust him.
She stared at their held hands.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints. Very attractive.
However, his hand was so cold.
She also held his hand in an attempt to warm it.
This wouldn’t be the first time Rong Chan’er bullied her. If she could bear with it in the past, she could bear with it now.
Rong Yong also argued, “Second young master, it’s true that it was Tang Beibei who wanted to marry the first young master. Mei’er merely fulfilled her wish. Tang Beibei grew up in the Rong family and Mei’er treated her like her own sister. We also love her, so we made a mistake.”
“Tang Beibei is still young and immature. She is also impulsive and has angered the second young master. First young master, I apologize to you on behalf of Tang Beibei.”
Rong Chan’er quickly added, “Dad, Tang Beibei is already in her twenties. She’s not young anymore. She was the one who hid it from us and put on my sister’s wedding dress to climb the social ladder. We only found out later, but she was already married to the first young master. So, there was nothing we could do.”
He Li also cried, “Sigh, this is all my fault. I pitied her as an orphan, took her in and indulged her in everything. I didn’t expect her to be so bold and dare to cause such a big trouble.”
“…”
The family of three echoed each other. Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched. If she had not experienced it herself, she would have believed their words.
“Since you know you’ve made a mistake, I’ll give you one day to find Rong Mei’er and switch her back!”
Only by switching his brother’s bride back to Rong Mei’er could Tang Beibei be his!
Switch Rong Mei’er back?
Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen nervously, but he didn’t say anything, and his face remained calm.
Did they bring her back to the Rong residence to switch back Rong Mei’er?
She laughed at herself coldly. She thought that Jiang Jingchen had accepted her. She really wanted to be good to him and fulfil her duty as a wife. She didn’t expect that it was just wishful thinking on her part.
If the switch was made, the Rong family would not let her off either.
A wave of sadness filled her heart. She felt her eyes burn and lowered her head in silence.
The Rongs’ faces changed when they heard Jiang Minglang’s words.
If they marry Rong Mei’er to this sickly man, with his haggard face as pale as a ghost’s, wouldn’t they be asking Mei’er back to be a widow?
Not only would Rong Mei’er not agree to it, He Li also didn’t have the heart to ask her daughter back.
He Li said, “Second young master, that wouldn’t be right. Tang Beibei has already gone through the wedding ceremony with the first young master. And after last night, she’s already the young master’s woman. How could she face the world in future?”
Jiang Minglang wanted to say that it was all bullsh*t.
His sickly brother’s legs were already crippled, so how could he still do that kind of thing?
“If you dawdle any longer, I’ll make a phone call right now and bankrupt the Rong Corporation!”
If the second young master of the Jiang family wanted a small company to go bankrupt, he could do it with just a few words.
Rong Yong turned pale and he quickly stopped him, “Second young master, don’t, don’t make the call. I’ll ask Mei’er to come back.”
He Li stopped her husband angrily, “Stop right there! You’re sending Mei’er to her death!”
Rong Yong chided, “Do you want to see the company that I’ve been managing for years go belly up? If the company goes down, how are we going to feed ourselves?”
Of course, He Li didn’t want to see their family business go belly up. She was so angry that she started crying.
Rong Chan’er was still trying to salvage the situation, “Second young master, since…”
Jiang Jingchen, who was drinking tea, glanced at Rong Chan’er nonchalantly and said, “If you don’t want your sister to come back, then how about you take her place?”
“No, I can’t!”
Rong Chan’er hid behind He Li in fear.
Jiang Jingchen coughed twice and looked up at Rong Yong with his cold, dark eyes as he said, “It’s fine if you don’t switch her back, but there are conditions.”
Rong Yong felt a cold wind on his back and shivered.
He wondered in his heart how this sickly invalid exude such baleful aura? It was quite terrifying.
“What conditions? First young master, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it!”
