Chapter 771: His Biggest Responsibility Was To Protect His Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He watched as his seemingly strong second son was forced to run away because of Rong Linyi.
Old Master Rong couldn’t help but sigh.
Other than Rong Jinghui, the second branch was all useless. Old Master Rong was already aware of this.
Unless it was a last resort, he didn’t want Rong Linyi to leave either.
But he couldn’t let go of what he had said before.
“Okay.” He waved his hand. “Everyone knows Linyi’s heart for the family. I don’t doubt Yanyun’s character either. But our Rong and An families’ feud can’t be forgotten just like that. I’ve always been kind, but I didn’t expect my eldest son and grandson to almost die in the hands of the An family. Linyi-”
“I’m here.” Rong Linyi looked down and stopped being arrogant.
“I’ll allow the time to be a week after Yanyun gives birth.” He said. Before Rong Xuelong could shout, the Old Master continued. “But-”
“Your Second Uncle’s family’s worries aren’t without reason. How about this, I’ll still give you two choices. Either I give you only a week to investigate Yanyun’s identity clearly and I’ll let you decide when the time comes. The other choice is to follow your instructions and wait until a week after Yanyun gives birth to the baby. But during this half a month, you’ll temporarily give up your position as the family head.”
The scene was silent.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Rong Linyi.
Rong Linyi didn’t make everyone wait long.
He took two steps back and slowly knelt down.
“Grandpa.” He closed his eyes and his tone was serious. “I still remember when you handed the position of the family head to me. You told me that as the family head, my greatest responsibility is to protect my family. I’m sorry…”
He looked up. “The Rong family is my family. Su Yanyun and the child in her stomach are also my family. If I really want to choose, I can only choose her and my children. I’ve disappointed you.”
The Old Master took a deep breath.
“I understand. Get up…”
As Rong Linyi stood up and left without a word, he heard the Old Master’s voice from behind.
“From now on, Rong Linyi is no longer the Rong family’s head.”
The second branch almost cheered together.

The Old Master’s voice sounded again. “But because Su Yanyun’s identity hasn’t been confirmed, I’ll temporarily take over the position of the family head in these one and a half months.”
“Ah…” Second Madam Rong’s disappointment was obvious.
But the moment the Old Master glared at her, she immediately remedied the situation. “Of course it’s best to have Father become the family head again. But Father, you’re already old. Do you still have the ability to go to the corporation to oversee things every day?”
“Jinghui will temporarily take over the position of the corporation’s CEO. Your second branch has no objections to this, right? That brat’s situation in Africa has been developing well and he is a promising talent.” The Old Master nodded.
The second branch heard this and couldn’t help but look at each other.
They never expected that the Old Master would actually let Rong Jinghui act as the Acting CEO.
They thought that no matter what, the corporation would still fall into the hands of Rong Xiaoda or Rong Xinming.
“Father, Jinghui is still too young.” Second Madam Rong hurriedly said. “He has never held such a high position. Don’t you see Xingming has always been the deputy CEO of the corporation? Can’t we just promote him?”
