Lin's mother declined; she wasn't going to have a wedding ceremony, just getting a marriage certificate was enough for her.
She didn't want any fanfare, just wished to live out her life quietly and peacefully.
She didn't want Rong Shaoze's money either, but Rong Shaoze insisted on giving it to her, so she had no choice but to accept a sizeable bankbook before boarding the train and leaving B city.
Xiaocong was very reluctant to see his grandmother leave, and he was somewhat downcast for the few days following her departure.
But children are children after all, and his attention was quickly drawn to some novel and interesting things at kindergarten, thus he was no longer sad.

Du Ruoxin dialed Rong Shaoze's number for the thirty-seventh time; the phone rang only once before it was cut off.

Rong Shaoze was so ruthless that he wouldn't even take her calls anymore.
Did she have any hope left?
No, not a sliver of hope.
