The bitterness spread from her tongue to her heart. "Grandma, it's not his fault. Love cannot be forced.
The one he really loves is Leila, not me. If it weren't for the feud between the two families, they would
have already married. I am willing to do them a favor and bless them. Now that I have found the right
person for me, everyone will be happy. "
"My child." Holding her hands, Alena said, "Give me some time. I'll go back to confront Zac and ask him
what he is thinking about."
"It doesn't matter, grandma. I don't care what he thinks. I'm getting married. My fiance treats me well. I
won't hurt him. " Essie said firmly. She didn't want to give herself another chance to change her mind.
Alena sighed. It seemed that Zac had hurt the child too much. Even if they were to divorce, they
shouldn't have chosen to do it when she still in hospital unconscious. Wouldn't his ruthlessness tear her
heart apart?
In order to untie a bell, the person who tied it was required. Nobody could untie it except her grandson.
"Grandma is old and weak, but your grandpa and I really like you. It is Saturday the day after tomorrow.
If you're free, come home and have a cup of tea with your grandpa. He missed you so much."
Essie lowered her head again. Although she really wanted to see her grandfather, she didn't want to
come back to the Rong Mansion because someone didn't welcome her.
"Grandma, I miss grandpa too. But I have divorced with Zac. It is not good for me to go there again."
Her voice was as low as a mosquito's.
Alena knew what she was thinking and asked, "Are you worrying about Zac's mother?"
Clenching the cup in her hand nervously, Essie continued, "I just don't want to see everyone unhappy
because of me."
"Your mother in la is getting more and more muddled recently," said the old lady with a sigh. I've
discussed with your grandfather and we won't go back to Switzerland until we get all the things done.
We can't let her do whatever she wants in the Rong family. While saying that, she clapped Essie's
hands and continued, "Take it easy. Don't worry. She dare not say anything in front of Grandpa and
me."
Hearing that, Essie was astonished. She wondered if the old lady meant that she would go back to take
charge of the Rong family? In that case, would not it be even more difficult for Leila to be admitted into
the noble family? Moreover, Mary who was the daughter-in-law of so many years, but she had not
become the real mother-in-law since she would not be able to take charge of the family matter
anymore. She was much inferior to the powerful Vicki back then.
An unnoticeable smile emerged on the corner of her mouth, as if it was the pleasure after giving the
enemy a heavy blow.
"Okay, grandma. I'll visit Grandpa on Saturday." She would be unreasonable if she still refused the old
lady's request since she had insisted it to this point. Since Grandma and Grandpa were there, she
didn't think Mary could do anything to her.
Tomb Sweeping Day was a day to worship the ancestors of the Rong family. According to the family
rules, after the descendants finished their morning tea, they would go to the private cemetery of the
Rong clan to worship the ancestors.
In the following two days, Zac stayed in the Rong Mansion to keep his grandma and grandpa company.
Early in the morning, he got up and took a walk with his grandparent in the garden.
His grandparent hadn't got over the jet lag yet. They got up very early these two days.
As soon as they sat down in the pavilion, the Butler came and reported that Leila knelt down at the gate
of the Rong Mansion and wanted to come in to see the grandparent. She also said that she couldn't
stand on her knees if she was not allowed to enter the mansion.
Zac was shocked. He never thought Leila would do this.
"You really do marry a good wife." Alena frowned and turned to look at Abel. "I'll go out with Zac to see
what is going on."
"Just let her kneel if she wants." Abel waved his hand. His eyes were sharp. How could he not see the
trick that Leila played. He and his wife had been back for quite a long time. She chose to come at this
moment. She must have come here for the worship of the ancestors. As long as she worshipped the
ancestor, she would be the rightful daughter-in-law of the Rong family. It was irrational to force her to
break up with the Qin family.
Realizing Leila's intention, the Alena took the cup on the table and slowly picked up the tea.
Before long, Mary rushed here. She had to handle the play in the house.
"I heard that Leila was kneeling outside to visit you two. Should we open the door and let her in?
Anyhow, she has registered the marriage with Zac. What's done is done. Even if you two don't accept
her, she is still the daughter-in-law of Rong family."
Alena cast her a glance and said, "You don't need to worry about Zac's matter from now on. I'll take
care of it myself."
Mary was shocked, "Mom, Zac is my son. His marriage has always been my biggest concern. How can
I not care about it?"
"If you didn't connive at the unpleasantness of Valery at home and let her have a good time at that
time, our great grandson would be here now. But look at what you have done today. Do you still want to
see the messy situation?" Alena snapped. 'If I don't teach her a lesson and ask her to behave herself,
she will drive a good granddaughter in law away, ' she thought.
"If you two want a great grandson, let Zac and Leila have a baby soon. She has been married with Zac
for some time. I'm afraid that Leila is pregnant now," Mary said in a hurry. Since the two elders wanted
a grandson, she would satisfy them.
"Mommy, that's impossible," Zac said indifferently immediately.
Mary's face darkened. "Zac, your wife knelt outside. Don't you feel sorry for her at all?"
"Mommy, if she really wants to see Grandpa and grandma, she should have come here on the first day
they come back. She has waited so long, but she chose this day which we will worship the ancestors to
come. I don't think she come with sincerity." Zac snorted. Her trick of self-tormented wouldn't work
every time.
"Isn't it better today? She came in, paid her respect to grandma and grandpa, had breakfast with all of
us and went to the cemetery to worship the ancestors together. Our ancestors will be very happy to see
her as your granddaughter in law. They will bless you can have a fat baby by then," Mary said with a
smile.
Unfortunately, there was no one laughing with her in the pavilion. The faces of Abel, Alena and Zac
looked more serious and a little disappointed than before.
"Mary, I will take care of it. Don't ask too much," Alena said coldly. Since her daughter-in-law said
something like that, there was no need for her to talk anymore.
But Mary didn't dare to give up. She would try her best to persuade the two elders to accept Leila.
"Father, mother, I know your concerns. But Leila is not the biological child of the Qin family. She has no
blood of the Qin family. You don't have to regard her as the daughter of the Qin family. You can just
treat her as an orphan. " She paused, and changed into a pitiful tone. "What a miserable life it is for a
child to be abandoned at birth. When she grew up, she fell in love with the man she shouldn't love. She
had been in a hard relationship with Zac for so many years. If it weren't for her family, they would have
been married at the very beginning. They wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns. "
Taking a sip of tea, Alena turned to Zac and asked, "Are you going to live with Leila for the rest of your
life?"
"Of course, Zac would like to live with Leila for a lifetime. Otherwise, how could he get married?
Marriage is not a child's play." Before her son could answer, Mary quickly chipped in, as if she was
afraid that he would say something wrong.
Completely ignoring her, Zac just bent down and whispered in the ear of Alena, "People have their own
difficulties sometimes." His voice was loud enough for the old lady to hear him but Mary could not hear
a thing.
The old lady understood what he meant, so she nodded slightly, drank the tea and kept silent.
Seeing the pavilion quiet again, Mary was worried. She thought that the two elders would be softened
by Leila's kneeling, but they were stone hearted, without any hesitation.
She rolled her eyes and turned away.
Outside the Rong Mansion, Leila had been kneeling for more than ten minutes. Seeing that no one
came to open the door, she was angry and depressed.
She had already married Zac. Why was his family reluctant to accept her? Why did they have to ask
her to cut off her contact with her parents? She was not a fool. She knew clearly that without Qin family,
she would be a phoenix without feathers which just the same as vultures.
After coming out, Mary tipped her a wink, hinting her that she pretended to pass out so that she could
be carried in the mansion.
Leila took the hint. She shook her head slightly with the help of her forehead and fell to the ground.
"Leila..." Mary pretended to be scared. She ran to her and held her up.
"uncle Li, hurry up. Mrs. Rong fainted. Help me take her back to her home to have a rest. In case there
is anything wrong."
She called the butler to help but he didn't move. According to the rules of the Rong Mansion, the Butler
must obey the orders of the two elders at home at first, and then he had to follow the orders of the host
and hostess of the house.
"Madam, I have asked the servants to bring the chairs and water to look after Miss Qin. Without the old
lady's permission, I can't make any decision without asking for her permission."
"It's not the right time to talk about this. Just get her inside first. I'll take the responsibility if you get into
trouble." Mary deliberately pretended to be very anxious to deceive uncle Li.
Uncle Li didn't want to make any concession. He said, "Madam, please calm down. I have sent
someone to deliver the message."
Seeing uncle Li did not cooperate, Mary ignored him and called the servant beside to help Leila get in.
When the messenger came back, it would be too late to take Leila in. There was no way to drive her
out once she got in. She two worked together to play a trick to gain sympathy. They didn't believe that
the two elders wouldn't be able to move them.
