At this moment, she finally understood why the old lady had invited her here on the day of offering
sacrifices to the ancestors.
It was because she wanted her to stay and continue to be the granddaughter in law of the Rong family.
Today, the old lady helped fix her position in front of so many people of the Rong family. If she said that
she wanted to remarry, the old lady would be humiliated and disgraced. How could she do such an
unfilial thing?
If she kept silent, it would mean that she admitted that she was still the daughter-in-law of the Rong
family and worshiped their ancestors. How could she marry someone else in such a hurry?
The old lady was giving her a headache.
She placed her hands under the table cloth and rubbed them anxiously. She was in a dilemma, but at
last she did not say a word.
There was a smile on the corner of Alena's lips, which was not hard to notice. She knew that Essie
wouldn't say anything. She was a reasonable and considerate person. She was good at telling what
she thought and what she shouldn't say. And that was also one of the reasons why her husband and
she valued her very much.
Mary was so angry that she clenched the tablecloth. Since they had divorced, why should she be one
of the members of the Rong family? She really wanted to jump up to kick Essie out, but she dared not.
If she did, she would be the next to be kicked out. She tried very hard to pull the stiff corners of her
mouth to keep a hypocritical smile, so as not to let others notice her abnormality.
Zac was sitting opposite to her. His dark and gloomy eyes were fixed on her, eyeing every subtle
change of her facial expression.
He kept thinking about what Essie had said. Her mother was the mastermind of the destruction of her
family, and she planned all of this.
How was that possible? Why did she do that? Why?
He could not figure it out. Suddenly, he found his mother was more and more strange, as if she was no
longer the kind person he knew.
After the morning tea, the people of the Rong family began to prepare to worship in the cemetery.
Essie walked towards the old lady and said, "Grandma, I... I'd better go home first." Even though the
old lady had recognized her as her granddaughter-in-law, she would never become the wife of Zac.
She was divorced and she had no right to take part in the ceremony.
"Essie." The old lady understood what she was worrying about, but she wouldn't let her go today. "You
are not only the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, but also a respectful person of our family. You
should go and worship our ancestors. What you represent is not only yourself."
Essie was dazed by her words. The old lady's words were so profound that she didn't understand at all.
When did she become a hero of the Rong family?
She had no contribution to the Rong family?
And what did that mean that she was not representing herself? Who else could she represent?
She raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady secretly. Her eyes were deep and sharp, as if she had
discovered the deepest secret in her heart.
'Maybe...'
She was shocked, but she denied it soon.
That was impossible. Grandma wouldn't have known that Mili and Dot were the offspring of the Rong
family. But only a few people knew about it, and even Pana did not know it. How could grandma know?
She must feel guilty.
While she was thinking, Zac walked over and held her slender waist. "Let's go. I'll take care of you
today. Don't run about." His tone was very domineering. It sounded that he didn't want to take care of
her at all. It was clear that he was keeping an eye on her and prevent her from escaping.
Leila didn't leave until they arrived at the gate of Rong Mansion. She stood by the door all the time.
How could she leave when Essie went in? She was the real wife of Zac and the daughter-in-law of the
Rong family. Who the hell is Essie, a divorced ex? Why did they let her in?
Several well-trained guards stood at the door and looked at her to stop her from making a 'mess'.
The Rong Mansion was heavily guarded, with a warning area ten miles away from here. If it weren't for
her marriage with Zac, uncle Li would have asked the bodyguards to throw her out. How could they
allow her to stand at the gate?
Leila knew that the ancestors would be worshiped today, and the Rong family would come out sooner
or later. Anyway, she had to finished acting.
When they opened the gate, the security guards came out first, and then the Rong family members.
She immediately knelt down, "Grandpa, grandma, I am the wife of Zac and the granddaughter in law of
the Rong family. Please let me worship our ancestor," she cried as she shouted.
The two elders got in the car without taking a look at her. They seemed not to hear her words.
Casting a glance at Mary, Albert said, "Ask her to leave here as soon as possible. The last per son the
two elders want to see in such a day was the members of the Qin family."
Mary could only nod helplessly when she saw the coldness in Albert's eyes.
Before Zac and Essie reached the door, they heard Leila's voice. "God, your wife is still here. She is
really good at holding on!" While speaking, she pushed him. "Let go of me. If she saw us walk out like
this, I would never have the leisure time in the future."
A touch of impatience passed across Zac' face. That woman's primary gene must be too poor in her
bones, so she went crazy all day long.
He then asked two servants to help Essie and he walked out of the gate alone.
