She wanted to be bad and wouldn't admit that she wasn't even as good as Lin Meng. She was more willing to deceive herself and think that these events that glorified her were a grand marketing strategy, that Guangda had secretly manipulated things behind the scenes. That woman was unbearable, how could she be glorified like a goddess!

She wanted to take action. She thought back to many years ago when she was in J City, that sensational event that had made headlines at the time. Yes, if she could just find those things, she could ruin Lin Meng's reputation and bring her down!

Although, this might anger Rong Ling!

As soon as she had the thought, she immediately sought out people and contacted the media in J city. However, strangely enough, the person she found told her that four or five years ago, there was no news about Lin Meng in any related newspapers or media outlets.

"How is this possible!" He Ya jumped up at once.

Although most of the news coverage at the time was confined to local newspapers in City J, there was no way Lin Meng's story wouldn't have been reported.

"You must be mistaken!" she replied with absolute certainty. "Go and investigate again, carefully check the Lin family, then check Rong Ling – you'll definitely find her! But remember, when checking on Rong Ling, be extra careful!"

That man was too powerful, who knows what kind of messages some people might send him just to curry favor!

When that person was busy again, here, Bingbing's ninth birthday also arrived. He Ya had to put Lin Meng's matter aside for now. At present, the most important thing was to settle Rong Ling, who had agreed to attend Bingbing's birthday party. As for Lin Meng, she could wait until after she finished her business before dealing with her slowly!

He Jia's little princess, Bingbing's birthday party was very lively, basically inviting all the celebrities in City B. Among the stars, He Jia's little princess seemed a bit anxious, her beautiful eyes constantly casting her gaze towards the entrance of the hall. Suddenly, the little princess's eyes lit up, like two bright moons, appearing in front of her. When the little princess grinned, there was a slight commotion at the entrance of the hall!

When everyone looked over, they immediately understood. It seemed that the long-awaited distinguished guest had finally arrived!

Bingle walked briskly towards Rong Ling, whose presence was immediately striking. She called out sweetly, "Uncle Rong!"

Rong Ling's face broke into a slight smile as she praised, "Little Shou Xing, you look so beautiful today!"

BB just happily giggled, reaching out to pull Rong Ling and walking inside. She chirped, "Uncle Rong, BB has been waiting for you for a long time! Hee hee, later on, I want to cut the cake with Uncle Rong..."

Rong Ling smiled quietly and followed the little girl.

In the hall, envious glances were cast by other parents. After all, a birthday party needs other children to make it lively. So, this evening, many parents with children had come. Compared to their own children, how could this child of the He family receive such favor from Rong Ling His future would surely be boundless! A daughter favored by heaven could hardly be more so! Many unmarried girls, either boldly or shyly, cast their eyes on Rong Ling. This man was already in his thirties, a proper diamond bachelor, when would he get married! Coupled with his stunning beauty, which woman wouldn't want to take such a man home They secretly hoped that this cold and aloof man would, unintentionally, notice them!

Several bold women, taking cautious steps, walked towards Rong Ling. After all, they didn't have many opportunities to approach Rong Ling. They should seize any chance to show themselves in front of him. However, what was infuriating was that a stunning figure suddenly approached Rong Ling. The envy-inducing milky-white slender wrist naturally held onto Rong Ling’s arm!

He Ya -- Another princess of the He family!

Tonight, she wore a deep blue off-the-shoulder evening gown, which was simply too alluring. She already had a figure that could be described as devilishly curvy, and this tight-fitting evening gown not only exposed her perfect figure but also added extra points to her overall appearance. Her skin was fair and tender, like it had been soaked in milk, so this deep blue color only made her skin appear even whiter under the lights, making it hard for anyone to look away. The off-the-shoulder design highlighted her charming and elegant collarbone, and it also boldly showcased her cleavage. Even the evening gown couldn't fully cover the two slightly exposed mounds of white flesh, leaving countless men present eating free ice cream with their eyes. The deeply carved cleavage, squeezed out deliberately, was enough to suck a man's eyes right in.

Before Rong Ling arrived, how many men's eyes were inadvertently cast upon her. Her tall figure and the dress exposed her small waist without a doubt. Two legs like jade, hidden between the side drapes of the dress, added a hint of temptation. The elegant hair on her head revealed her slender neck, adding to her elegance and sexiness, also a kind of intellectual beauty!

That night, the deep blue of her dress represented calmness, intelligence, and erudition! The shimmering white rhinestones on the dress perfectly toned down the intensity of the deep blue. It made He Ya look elegant and graceful in this dark blue dress instead of too mature.

This attire is carefully designed by He Ya!

For this night, she had been preparing for a long time!

Given her current appearance, at least seven out of ten men present would swarm her and try to take her down if she wanted them to.

Tonight, she was the most eye-catching presence at this party. She was the embodiment of both sexiness and intelligence, overshadowing even the birthday girl herself -- Bingbing!

"Rongge, I've been waiting for you!"

He Yajiao smiled playfully, intentionally arching her ample bosom and displaying the alluring cleavage to Rong Ling's face. Her chest pressed against his arm, almost touching him, but always just a tiny bit away.

A subtle temptation.

Rong Ling's cool gaze swept lightly over her, and when a blush crept into He Ya's heart, he turned his body seemingly unintentionally, pulling his arm out of He Ya's embrace and picking up Bingbing who was standing by.

"Come on, little birthday star, take me to see your great-grandmother!"

Even though this is Bingbing's birthday party, the essence of this gathering is still a social event for the upper crust. The adults participating are still engaging in their own world of things. However, Mrs. He, the matriarch of the He family, is someone everyone has to greet first upon arrival! Of course, that's assuming you have the privilege to even show your face before Mrs. He!

Bingbing had no way of knowing about the undercurrents between Rong Ling and He Ya in the previous moment, so she burst into laughter excitedly and reached out to point Rong Ling in a certain direction. There, elders from the He family, as well as elders from various prominent families, were seated.

Rong Ling strode away.

He Yaxin felt a little awkward, she could only comfort herself that this was Rong Ling's unintentional act. Her face still held an impeccable smile, as if nothing had happened, she followed Rong Ling lightly and cheerfully.

As for Rong Ling, those elders were naturally very kind to him. The older folks leaned on their age and experience, and as they chatted, they chuckled and started asking about Rong Ling's marriage. In reality, He Ya was so close to Rong Ling, and her attitude towards him was everywhere intimate and ambiguous. These old men were all shrewd people, so they directly asked about this matter. Of course, which few of them were instructed by Mrs. He, it is unknown!

"Don't rush!" Rong Ling seemed not to be surprised by the question at all, and naturally replied.

An old man asked, "It's about time. You're all grown up now. Your future achievements will need an heir!"

"That's right, Rong Ling, look at all these beautiful women here, is there none you fancy!"

As for the latter, Rong Ling would not respond, because once he answered, he would offend everyone. He truly didn't care about any of them.

"Our family has many excellent successors. As for the businesses, there are plenty of suitable people to inherit them!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Among them, there was an elder of the Rong family, who could be considered Rong Ling's uncle. After hearing this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and begin to ponder deeply! Did Rong Ling's words mean that he was giving up!

Others also roughly know that the atmosphere within the Rong family recently has been somewhat eerie. They speculate, could it be because Rong Ling failed to gain the heart of the old master of the Rong family, so Rong Ling is somewhat disappointed and despondent! Or could it be because the murder case he was involved in hasn't been solved yet This young man is troubled by this, or perhaps he truly did it, feeling restless and unable to sit in that position anymore!

For a moment, no one spoke.

It's a bit mocking, isn't it

Rong Ling stood up. "Sorry, I'm going to find a friend over there. Please continue!"

That's it, I'm leaving!

That back still stood tall and straight, that resolute departure was still as rebellious as ever. This person, he was born a strong one! Old Madam He squinted her eyes, quickly reacting, immediately adding, "Girl, go with your Rong Gege. You young people have your own things to talk about. We old folks are getting old, so we won't crowd you youngsters!"

He Yanzheng had this intention, immediately following the trend and bidding farewell to several elders. He quickly chased after Rong Ling. Behind him, an aged voice came over.

"Old Madam He, your young maid is quite a match for Rong Ling."

"Yeah, looking at it, the relationship seems to be doing well... heh heh, isn't it..." One person agreed but didn't finish their sentence.

Old Mrs. He smiled and took over the conversation. "Those are young people's affairs, I'm too old to interfere with them. Let nature take its course..."

That means, he's actually admitting it indirectly!

He Ya pursed her lips into a smile, her eyes flashing with smugness. After tonight, even if it wasn't true, it would become so.

When He Ya walked over, Rong Ling was whispering something to Yu Xu in a low voice. Yu Xu was no stranger to He Ya; they were both from prominent families, so it seemed perfectly natural for them to be together.

"Yu Xu, what did you say to Rong Ge"

Yu Xu shrugged and passed the question to Rong Ling. "You should ask your elder brother Rong about this!"

He Ya was a bit annoyed by Yu Xu's lack of face-saving, but she had to turn her pretty face towards Rong Ling.

Rong Ling was very indifferent, very ruthless, and very impolite. "Girl, Ah Xu and I have something private to say, you go play over there!"

That tone of voice treated her like a little sister, without any hint of romantic feelings.

He Ya pretended to be innocent and asked in a coquettish voice, "Big Brother Rong, what secret are you guys talking about I can't listen Hey, aren't you talking bad about me!"

As she spoke, she intentionally raised her meticulously groomed fine eyebrows. Her full red lips followed suit, sealing shut alluringly.

This look of charming and sexy coexistence, plus that voice that could make anyone's bones melt, eight out of ten men would be unable to resist! Unfortunately, the two she's facing are the remaining two who can.

"Go play by yourself, I have something to talk to Ah Xu privately!"

This tone is a bit too heavy. He Ya's usual behavior isn't particularly foolish, she can feign ignorance once, but she cannot feign ignorance a second time, otherwise, she will become annoying. This woman's intelligence lies in knowing when to stop in certain areas!

"Then you guys chat!" He Ya winked, giving a flirtatious smile. Her eyes, like water, gazed lovingly at Rong Ling and continued in a soft voice. "But, don't say bad things about me, okay!"

Rong Ling just curled his lips and smiled, as if he was amused by his little daughter's posture.

Yu Xu smiled ambiguously, as if he had already sensed the undercurrent between the two.

He Ya expressed satisfaction with the result, though she felt a tinge of regret, she still left happily.

As soon as she left, Rong Ling’s slight smile at the corner of his mouth vanished. Yu Xu’s smile seemed even more unrestrained and carefree.

“Brother, it seems to me that the girl tonight is really here for you. And look at how flirty Mrs. He is acting! The way that girl dressed herself so provocatively tonight... you have to be careful, don't let her charm you away! If anything happens between you two in this kind of situation, you could get into quite a bit of trouble!”

Yu Xu said this, although there was a smile on his face, but when he got to the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold and deep.

Rong Ling held a champagne glass in his hand, his gaze flickering with the slight movement of the transparent liquid. His eyes were cold despite the subtle shift in their brightness.

"I'm not easily swayed."

Grandma He seems to be very keen on matchmaking you with her. Quite a few people came today, including some old folks who don't usually show up. Just for a child's birthday, so many elders appearing is rather odd. When something is unusual, it's likely a demon at play, big brother, do you feel it too!

Rong Ling's eyes flashed, he let out a soft "um," raised his cup, and took a light sip of wine. "Be careful!"

Yu Xu chuckled, not at all politely, and teased, “I just feel like you might be the target!”

Rong Ling's face darkened slightly. Looking at Yu Xu, her gaze was icy cold.

Yu Xu immediately took the dismissive jeer, after all, the ferocious beast before him was not someone to be trifled with. He turned and asked again, "How is Mengmeng!"

"Well, that's good." Though his voice was calm, his eyes softened when he mentioned her.

"But you're not doing so well yourself, are you!" Yu Xu said cheekily to Rong Ling again. Everyone knows that Mengmeng is giving their eldest brother the cold shoulder! Anyway, someone has to bear the brunt of it.

Róng Ling looked at his gaze, and immediately a tangible murderous intent arose!

"Don't you dare!" Yu Xu smiled ingratiatingly. "I was just kidding, just kidding..."

Rong Ling's gaze was deep and still as cold as ever. "This joke isn't funny!"

Yu Xu couldn't help but think to himself, "If you cared so much, why didn't you coax her a little more back then Why did you let her leave so coldly" Women are hard to win back once they're out of your control!

"Big brother, you came here for a reason, Mengmeng knows about it, right!"

Rong Ling lowered his eyes and sneered. “You’ll find out eventually!”

That little woman definitely wouldn't take the initiative to care about this, but there would certainly be people who would tell her about it! What if that little woman goes off again after hearing about it!

When he thought about her face flushed red, brows furrowed, and eyes blazing with fury as she glared at him, he felt a headache coming on. However, he couldn't help but unconsciously twitch the corner of his lips into a faint smile.

Yu Xu gazed, then followed suit with a genuine smile. Between Big Brother and Mengmeng, things were still developing in a positive direction, which was good.

Glancing at the restless women around him, he sincerely advised, "Big brother, I think you should leave early. Those women's gazes are a bit scary. I'm afraid if you stay too long, you'll make headlines tomorrow. If Mengmeng saw this…"

Yu Xu chuckled, then stopped talking. His strange expression made it clear to everyone what he meant!

"Those women, they're still somewhat useful!" Rong Ling said this.

Yu Xu was puzzled.

Rong Ling hooked her lips, explaining with a pleasant mood. "Some illusions need to be broken by other illusions. Old Madam He might have some thoughts, but unfortunately, I can't accompany her!"

Yu Xus thought deeply for a moment. "You mean..."

Rong Ling took another sip of wine, elegantly holding the glass. She tilted her body slightly and smiled at a certain point. It was just a glance, but it was incredibly lethal. This man exuded immense masculine charm. Even without intentionally trying, he could make women yearn for him. Now that he deliberately showed his intention, he was enough to captivate people's souls.

The woman who had been struck by those cold and piercing gazes finally couldn't hold back her yearning. Her face flushed with excitement as she eagerly walked towards him. Accompanying her was another companion, who, blinded by self-interest, believed that the aloof gaze was actually directed at her! The two approached gracefully, their presence seemingly surrounded by a shower of pink bubbles. At the same moment, many socialites turned their attention to this developing scene, quietly observing the potential disruption of the tranquil atmosphere.

Yu Xu followed Rong Ling's gaze and looked back, staring at the scene for a moment, slightly stunned.

Big brother, this is...

A guess suddenly popped into my mind, and then Rong Ling's words reached my ears. "Fourth Brother, don't leave early tonight, hang out with me!"

Yu Xu immediately understood. They were trying to use him as a shield! With a mischievous smile, he still didn't change his teasing tone towards Rong Ling. "Big brother, I'm afraid I'll be in the way if I stay! Blocking your pursuit of beauties wouldn't be good, would it"

"Remember that Patek Philippe watch on my wrist!" Rong Ling asked coolly.

Yu Xu's eyes immediately flashed with fervent light, excitedly nodding his head like a woodpecker. He coveted that antique watch worth millions of dollars so much he almost wanted to snatch it right from its owner's hand.

"

Tonight, listen to me, and that watch will be yours!

"

“Ah!” He almost fainted! For that priceless antique watch, to be honest, he had long been coveting it. This matter was already an open secret among his brothers. In order to get the watch, he had also used many means, but to no avail. What’s even more infuriating is that Rong Ling, that cunning fox, had often dangled the watch in front of him, tempting him to take the bait. But unfortunately, every time the task was too arduous, he couldn't receive the watch from his hands openly! This time, Rong Ling so easily agreed to give it up, he felt a little at a loss!

So, Yu Xu, who has always boasted about being "cool and handsome", looked so dumbfounded that it was beyond description. It was as if a giant jewel had struck him out of thin air while he stood there frozen in place!

"Do a good job, be my witness. If Mengmeng asks about this, give me a good answer. Once this is done, that table is yours!"

Yu Xu nodded foolishly, already completely dazed by this sudden fortune.

Rong Ling reached out his hand, seemingly very friendly as he patted him on the shoulder. But in reality, he pinched him quite hard.

"Snap out of it, they're here! If we mess this up, the watch is forfeit!"

His cold words startled Yu Xu, bringing him back to his senses.

He was so pleased with the easy task, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Lin Meng completely have him wrapped around her little finger. Yu Xu chuckled lightly and replied, "Just you watch! I guarantee I'll handle this tonight perfectly. After the event is over, I'll take you to get your results!"

This tone of voice was filled with joy, like a child who had been overcome by happiness. But his expression didn't match it at all. In an instant, his face became composed, his lips began to curve into a slow smile, and his eyes sparkled with electricity. His rigid posture relaxed slightly, becoming languid like a leopard from the forest. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the image of a graceful gentleman. It was as if he had walked through a garden of flowers, leaving everyone flushed with excitement!

This big family, which one of them can be simple! paper, dragging his mother along. He even wrote up a formal written agreement, outlining all the terms and conditions, on the paper. Finally, all three parties signed it, with three copies made, whi...
