r she drove into the underground parking lot and got in the car, she saw Yu Xu leave. Only then did she grab Rong Ling's hand and ask curiously, "What were you two talking about just now!"He suddenly...Her mother's heart was filled with resentment. She had already confirmed with several people, and it was indeed as Rong Fei Wu said. In the end, it was because her own son was going to marry Lin Meng that the family made the final decision to remove his position!
She couldn't accept this outcome, nor the reasons behind it. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. About Lin Meng, she already had some thoughts. After all, every mother wants her son to be well. Before, because her son told her so, she accepted Lin Meng. Plus, Lin Meng had given her a grandson, and considering her own unfortunate experiences, she really didn't want to use her own hands to stop Lin Meng's happiness. But now that she knew everything, she was doubtful again!
Is that girl really suitable for her son!
When I got home, I didn't see Lin Meng, but only Xiao Haohao and Rong Ling. Xiao Haohao was sitting on the floor playing with building blocks, looking like he was going to build a house, while Rong Ling was holding a book and reading on the sofa.
"Where's Mengmeng!" she asked.
"Still sleeping!" Rong Ling replied without looking up, very naturally. Last night he was wild with desire and made Lin Meng suffer greatly, not letting her go until nearly five in the morning, so it was only natural that she was still asleep now!
For her, he was more than willing to spoil!
Mom didn't know the details, but upon hearing this, she frowned. It was past ten o'clock and she was still asleep, how could she be like a pig She had gone out for a walk and come back! Then she looked at her son, who wasn't working either, just sitting on the sofa reading a book, what a man should be like! He has nothing now, why doesn't he know how to worry!
Or could it be, as Rong Fei Wu said, that his own son has been captivated by that woman!
Mother's face immediately showed a hint of displeasure. Then she threw her bag aside and plopped down beside Rong Ling. She made quite a commotion, so it was impossible for Rong Ling not to notice.
Mom's temper is just that of a straightforward person, like a child, and it's hard to hide her inner emotions. Her actions in this moment clearly show her displeasure, and her unhappy expression speaks volumes.
"What's wrong" Rong Ling asked her.
Mother closed her mouth and did not answer. Rong Ling lowered his head and looked at the book in his hands again. He knew his mother; when she couldn't hold it in, she would say something. Sure enough, after a while, Mother Rong spoke up.
"I know everything. You... it's because of Mengmeng, you couldn't become the head of the household!"
Rong Ling looked up and gave her mother a long, hard look. Then she closed the book and put it aside.
"Who did you go to see!" he asked her.
"Mom's eyes flashed, she dodged Rong Ling a little, and snorted. "Don't worry about this! Anyway, I know it was Mengmeng who held you back!"
Rong Ling said, "You don't have to say it. I already know you went to see Rong Fei Wu!"
A hint of panic flashed across Mother Rong's face because she knew her son wouldn't want to see her meet Rong Feiwu, so she quickly explained.
"I went to see him, but I did so to understand the situation. You are his son, he cannot be so heartless towards you!"
"Whether he is my son or not, it's something that happened over eight hundred years ago!"
This mildly reproachful remark caused Mama Rong's heart to lurch, a mix of bitterness and pain.
"Anyway, I won't let him neglect you!" He said it with a stubborn childlike tone.
Rong Ling just laughed. "Mom, didn't I tell you Just let me handle my own affairs. I'm fine and have my own plans. You just live your life peacefully!"
"What arrangements could you possibly have!" Mama Rong grumbled. Rong Fei Wu's wife wasn't someone to be trifled with, perhaps she could even get them evicted from this very house, who knows!
Who knows!
In short, I'm your mother. If it's time for me to step up, I will. I won't let Rong Jia bully people like this!
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, suddenly grabbed her mother's arm, and looked at her, earnestly.
"Mom, please stop looking for Rong Fei Wu. It's because I don't want to stay with the Rong family anymore, so please don't keep overthinking it!"
“Then why don’t you want to stay! As the head of the family, you shouldn't just leave! What are you thinking! Back then, when you wanted to go back to the Rong family, I stopped you. But you still went. Well, after all that hard work for so long, you finally made it out. But now, you say you want to leave, and just like that What do you think Rong Ling, you're not a child anymore, but why are you acting so childish!”
When Rong Ling heard her mother's words, she laughed.
Isn't she the one who acts childish It's ironic that she ended up being scolded by her own mother for acting childish!
He naturally has his plans, he just can't tell her about them right now.
"Mom, just listen to me, don't overthink it, you'll know later!"
"How can I not think too much!" Mom grumbled, very unhappy.
Rong Ling patted Rong Mama's arm, and stopped talking. He picked up his book and continued reading.
Mom looked at her son like this, the anger in her heart grew more and more. But the fact that she was the subordinate in their relationship prevented her from truly losing her temper with her son or putting on airs as an elder to scold him properly and wake him up! The comforting words Rong Ling had said to her, she heard vaguely and only thought it was her son's perfunctory excuses. What "everything is arranged," what "you will know later," wasn't this just a cover-up for preventing her from getting close to Lin Meng!
Mom leaned back on the sofa and began to daydream.
Lin Meng didn't wake up until the afternoon. When she woke up, she felt like her whole body was about to fall apart, aching everywhere. As soon as she touched her watch, she couldn't help but groan - it was so late! After tidying up and brushing her teeth, she suddenly froze. Memories from last night flooded her brain all at once, and she was immediately choked by the toothpaste, coughing for a while before finally calming down!
My God!
She actually did that kind of thing, swallowing the man's...that...that...
Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, she couldn't help but reach out and cover it. Then, her heart pounded with a blush.
Thankfully, the man wasn't around at this time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to face him! Oh my God, she should never drink again. Every time she drinks, she gets so out of control!
After much mental preparation, she emerged from the bathroom, tidied herself up, and as she left the room, she happened to run into Mom Rong carrying a laundry basket. It looked like she was going to hang clothes out to dry. Despite the ache and discomfort between her legs, she took a few quick steps and hurried over.
"Aunt, I'll do it!"
When Xiaohāo, who was engrossed in a fairytale book, heard Lin Meng's voice, he immediately lifted his head and ran over. By this time, Rong Mama had already coldly refused Lin Meng.
"No need, you'd better go eat dinner now. If you don't, you'll only have supper!"
Lin Meng was taken aback.
Little Hao ran over at that moment and immediately hugged Lin Meng's leg. He rubbed his face against her leg very affectionately and called out sweetly, "Mommy."
"Good boy!" Lin Meng reached out and gently patted Xiao Haohuo's cheek.
"Mommy's going to help grandma hang laundry, Haohao want to come too!"
Xiaohuo immediately nodded. If he was with Lin Meng, you could ask him to do anything, and he would love it!
Although Mom Rong's attitude seemed cold and distant, perhaps for a reason Lin Meng didn't know, Lin Meng still went over and smilingly took the laundry basket that Mom Rong was carrying.
"Aunt, let me do it. You've washed so many clothes, you must be tired. Just sit there and rest for a while!"
Mom really couldn't refuse that sweet smile, so she had to give the task to Lin Meng. Then, watching Lin Meng's back as she walked out with the laundry basket, she scolded herself in her heart. [..tw超多好看小說] She had clearly decided not to pay too much attention to her, but how did she still feel like she was being led around by her nose
Mom thinks she doesn't have the dignity of an elder at all!
No!
When Mother thought of her son, she clenched her fists tightly!
This can't go on!
So, Lin Meng returned with an empty laundry basket in one hand and little Haohao's hand in the other. When Mom Rong saw them, her face tightened, and she called out.
"Mengmeng, come here and sit down. Let's talk!"
She patted the seat beside her.
Lin Meng felt something must have happened in her heart, otherwise, Mama Rong wouldn't be like this. So, she obediently sat down.
"Have a look at this!"
Mom handed Lin Meng the newspaper again this morning. It was wrinkled from being folded and unfolded so many times. Lin Meng looked down, her eyes flickered slightly, but her expression didn't change much. Finally, she put the newspaper down, indicating that she had finished reading it!
"You see, Rong Ling is going to lose everything because of you!"
Lin Meng didn't say a word.
"Mom sighed. 'I only have this one son, and I don't have the ability to give him too much. So, I can only do my best to support him and not hold him back. The way he is now, it makes my heart as a mother uncomfortable. Mengmeng, can you understand this kind of feeling from your aunt'"
Lin Meng nodded gently, then looked at Rong Mama with warm and gentle eyes.
Mother Rong looked at her like this, her little face so clean, her eyes so innocent. There wasn't a trace of malice within them. She had made up her mind to say some things, but she couldn't bring herself to utter a word. Because if she truly said them, it would seem cruel to the girl. After a long silence, Mother Rong finally averted her gaze, avoiding the girl's direct stare, and said, "Please understand my feelings and... don't burden Rong Ling like this."
Lin Meng wasn't stupid; she vaguely guessed what Rong Mama was thinking.
“Auntie!” Lin Meng reached out and gently grasped Rong Mama’s hand, earnestly saying: “I’m so sorry that Rong Ling ended up like this, and I completely understand how you feel. But, please give me some time, and also give your son some time. Your son isn’t that useless, is he! Even though he has lost everything now, I think Rong Ling will still stand up again. Although the process will be tough, I will always stand by Rong Ling’s side and work hard with him!”
Mom hung her head, she really didn't know what else to say in response to her words!
She wasn't a spiteful person; she couldn't bring herself to say cruel things, nor could she act like a shrew nitpicking at her future daughter-in-law. But, there was that discomfort in her heart, so impulsively and childishly, she let out a huff.
"You move out first!"
Lin Meng opened her mouth in surprise. But only opened it, and didn't speak!
Mom didn't look up at her, holding back a breath of anger and continuing, "Living with Rong Ling like this now, your reputation is not good and you speak inappropriately, it's not right!"
The house suddenly fell silent!
Even Xiaohuo noticed the strange anger between the adults and hugged Lin Meng's leg even tighter.
After a long while, Lin Meng softly replied, “Well, Mother, you are right. I’ll move right away!”
Although this house is already under her name, if it were to be moved, it should be someone else moving. But she didn't want to argue with Rong Mama because, after all, she was Rong Ling's mother!
Moving out is fine too!
Some things don't change just because of distance!
She agreed so readily that her mother felt a twinge of guilt. She thought she might have been too harsh, so she stammered an apology. "Well... you don't need to rush into anything! It's just that living together like this could attract unwanted attention, so..."
Lin Meng smiled and shook her head. This was just Mama Rong's empty words, she understood it all too well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things when Rong Ling wasn't around. If Rong Ling were here, I'm afraid he would be put in an awkward position! She didn't want Rong Ling to be embarrassed, nor did she want their relationship to suffer because of her. Because she knew that Mama Rong was doing this out of love for her son.
She interrupted Mama Rong's words, looking at her warmly and gently.
"Well, I know all that, Auntie. You're right to think about it this way. I'll go pack right now!"
Mother Zhang opened her mouth, as if to speak but then stopped herself.
Lin Meng then got up and slowly walked towards his room. Xiao Haohuo immediately followed Lin Meng like a little tail. Anyway, wherever Mommy went, he had to go there too!
Lin Meng packed quickly, taking out two sets of toiletries for herself and her two children. She was fortunate that the weather had been getting warmer each day, so the clothes they were wearing were all light and thin. All three people's clothes fit into one leather bag. Lin Meng still held Little Hao Hao's hand with one hand, while dragging a large suitcase with the other.
As she reached the door with her luggage, she smiled and persuaded her mother Rong, who followed behind looking somewhat uneasy.
"Aunt, don't send me off any further, you should go back!"
Mom Rong opened her mouth again, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent. She watched as Lin Meng and Xiao Haohao climbed into the car together. Mom Rong couldn't hold it in anymore, so she quickly walked up to the car, leaned down, and said to Lin Meng rapidly: "Mengmeng, it's not...it's not Auntie who's chasing you away. Look, it's Rong Ling who wants to marry you, and he can't take you out of this house and then bring you back here, right It's just...just..."
Actually, Mom was a little regretful in her heart! She felt that she had been rather impulsive, but since she had already said those words, there was no way to take them back. So, she could only find various excuses for her behavior.
Lin Meng still said the same thing. "Auntie, I know all of it. You should go back. It's sunny outside, hurry back!"
She gave the driver an order to drive. The driver obeyed and started the car.
Mom watched the car drive away, she lightly covered her chest, the depression there hadn't lessened even a bit!
She didn't know what to do!
But in the car, Lin Meng's heart wasn't as carefree as she had shown. As soon as the car drove away, the smile on her face disappeared. She reached out to cover her face, and with a weary sigh, she lowered her head. On one side, two warm little hands reached out and rested on her back. She took her hand away, looked at the worried child in front of her, smiled, shook her head, and held him in her arms.
It was a coincidence. As soon as she led Xiao Haohào's hand into a hotel to stay for a while, Jiang Chengfeng called her up.
"Mumu, where are you!"
She hesitated for a moment before truthfully confessing.
"What's going on, why are you staying in a hotel!" Jiang Chengfeng's voice on the other end rose a bit.
She smiled faintly, not showing the slightest bit of grievance or helplessness. Right now, this was just a small bump in the road. She firmly believed she would definitely get over it, so there was no need to tell others about it. So she just told Jiang Chengfeng: “I've been thinking about renting an apartment, but I haven't found a suitable one yet, so I'll stay at the hotel for a few days!”
Originally, Sun Fei had already found a house for her, but because she canceled the plan at the last minute, the house Sun Fei had found is now rented out. So, she has to wait again!
“Wait for me!” Jiang Chengfeng was silent for about ten seconds before saying, “If you really want to rent a house, I just happen to have one that’s vacant. It belongs to my friend, he went abroad and asked me to look after it first. That house is pretty good, I think it would be quite suitable for you. The location of the house and the surrounding environment are both very nice!”
"Such a coincidence!" Lin Meng exclaimed in surprise.
Then Jiang, riding the wind, laughed. "Where are you now I'll come get you. If you like it, just move in that house tonight. It has everything; you only need to bring your clothes."
Lin Meng was very moved. She thought about it and decided to go see it anyway. It didn't matter. She was staying in a hotel, so she could find an available room at any time. So, she agreed and gave her address.
Jiang Cheng came by wind to pick her up, and then took her to see a house. Don't say, the house he introduced to her was really good. It was in a semi-old residential area where the floors were not very high, only five or six stories tall, looking like it had been around for about ten years. The community was very quiet, with occasionally some elderly people or adults with children passing by, giving off a friendly vibe. The community was also very beautiful, with excellent landscaping. As soon as Lin Meng drove in, she liked the place a little bit.
The house is on the third floor, not too high or too low, it's great. It's a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. It's a very standard housing structure from many years ago. Lin Meng looked around and found that, as Jiang Chufeng said, everything inside was quite complete, basically nothing needed to be bought. Plus, the lighting and ventilation of the house were all good!
Overall, this house is very good!
Lin Meng directly expressed her liking. "I really like this house, but to rent it, do we need to go through some procedures But your friend is abroad..."
"It's nothing!" Jiang Chengfeng waved his hand grandly and said cheerfully, "This is my good friend's house, you can stay here as long as you like. It'll liven the place up a bit!"
"How can that be!" Lin Meng exclaimed. "Staying in someone else's house, how could you not pay them!"
"Don't worry about the money, just stay here comfortably. That way I won't have to come here so often and watch over the house!"
"Hmph..." Lin Meng couldn't see Jiang Chengfeng's good intentions at all, but her bottom line wouldn't allow her to just accept it so readily. "Jiang Big Brother, if you don't take the money, I won't stay!"
She looked at him playfully.
Jiang, seeing her determination, stopped persuading her and accepted one month's rent from her in a perfunctory manner.
"We can talk about the rest later. More returns less, understand Mengmeng, we're not strangers, you don't need to be shy around me!"
Lin Meng, hearing this, no longer insisted on giving him a full six months' worth!
Because she had previously considered renting a place, she knew something about the real estate market in the city. She could see that her friend Jiang Chengfeng's house was quite good. Seeing how her friend would rather let it sit vacant and have Jiang Chengfeng watch over it, it showed that the property value was very high. If it were truly rented out, it would at least rent for half a year to a year. Six months, which was exactly the deadline she had given Rong Ling! But with Jiang Chengfeng saying it this far, she really couldn't be too forward!
"Later, I'll treat you to a meal, Brother Jiang. You can't refuse this!"
They've been busy making time for her!
Jiang Cheng replied with gusto, delighted to be asked!
Because Lin Meng's house rental was handled too smoothly and quickly, by the time Rong Ling knew about it, it was already too late to stop it. He couldn't possibly be unaware of what was happening at home. While he didn't know the specifics, both Lin Meng and Rong's mother's conversations were heard by the driver, who would naturally report them to him!
Moving out was just a matter of time, this was part of his plan all along. But the executor of this plan was supposed to be him, now it had become his mother instead. He immediately realized his mistake, he shouldn't have excluded his blood-related mother from the plan!
It's obvious that what he said to his mother before didn't really sink in. It's also obvious that Rong Fei Wu said something to his own mother. We can also speculate that his own mother, deep down, hasn't let go and still has some feelings for Lin Meng. This needs to be resolved!
But Jiang was riding the wind, so attentive at this time, what kind of fuss is this making!
Frowning, he slammed his pen down. He picked up his suit jacket and tossed it over his shoulder with a swagger before striding out the door. He would never allow his woman to be in the same room as another man!yer, his lips pursed, his eyebrows raised, staring at her with an ambiguous expression.She immediately flushed crimson, murmuring softly to herself: "It's over, I've gone bad! How can I keep thinking...
