nd her heart ached. Her eyes stung with unshed tears, but she was afraid of Rong Ling making fun of her. She shook her head, pushing away the emotions that were too feminine for her."Oh well, I guess...Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "He's just a child. Does he have to be so powerful" But then she thought of her own two children and the vast Rong family, and felt that if Rong Hengduo really had such cunning, it wouldn't be surprising!
Even if there's some scheme, the one who suffers the harm is his own body. It has nothing to do with her.
"If you can make it, go now. It's not the same thing kneeling there in the rain or shine!"
That's not okay!
That little rascal deserves to suffer a bit!
"That little imp is ambitious, his aspirations almost catching up to those of adults. If you don't let him taste some hardship, letting him off now and sending him away just means he'll definitely come back again. Can you keep turning people away over and over This has to be resolved once and for all. Give him a good dose of hardship before sending him away. In military strategy, it says: one powerful strike followed by weakening, then complete exhaustion. That little imp won't last through that many tries; he'll wilt and lose any desire to come back. So don't be soft-hearted first, you have to be ruthless when it's necessary. Otherwise, if you handle this poorly, that little imp will cause trouble later on. He's not like Du Caiyi who was beloved by everyone. That little imp is still quite popular within the clan. If you let him learn his lesson and withdraw, then those people in the clan won't come bothering you."
Lin Meng listened and was indeed convinced that her husband thought more deeply. She nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll leave it be for now and see what happens. We can talk about it tomorrow!"
He may have gotten his wife under control, but he forgot about his own mother who was an unpredictable factor. Rong Fei Wu became the head of the family naturally with his exceptional skills and cunning experience. He knew his grandson well, especially during this period when he was mostly passive, giving him more time to observe and understand Rong Ling. Just letting his grandson kneel like that wouldn't work. While Lin Meng might be sympathetic, with Rong Ling by her side, there would definitely be a way to stop her. So, he had to take action himself.Right now, the only thing he needed to worry about was his grandson, who also happened to be his greatest hope. Even if it meant embarrassing himself, he had to fulfill his grandson's wish.
He first called Mama Rong, pleading and persuading her for a long time before finally getting her to agree. After hanging up the phone, Mama Rong sighed. This was her karmic debt, inescapable, unavoidable, and unyielding. She didn't expect to be together, but in this lifetime, she only loved this one man. If she had ever harmed that family, then this time, it would be considered full repayment.
After putting down her phone, she walked to the window. Through the hazy rain curtain, she could see a small figure kneeling in the heavy rain under the streetlights. Her thoughts drifted far away. When she came back to herself, she thought about it again and went to find Lin Meng.
In the study, Lin Meng was helping two children with their homework. Rong Ling was leaning on a sofa nearby, reading an economics textbook in English.
Although her heart was pounding, Mother still managed to stop at the threshold of the study. She peered inside and called out softly.
"Mengmeng, come help Mom with something!"
"Ai." Lin Meng just pushed her chair back and walked out, thinking that Rong Mama had encountered some minor problem with her computer again. Even Rong Ling didn't think in that direction for a moment.
Mother led Lin Meng into her room and then gently closed the door.
Lin Meng felt something was strange, but she didn't think much of it. She smiled and asked, "Mom, what's wrong"
As if speaking to herself, she naturally walked towards the computer desk.
"Mengmeng, Mom asks you one thing!"
The tone of his mother suddenly became serious, and Lin Meng knew he had misunderstood.
"Mom, what's wrong Just tell me, don't talk about whether or not you're asking for something!"
Then Mama took Lin Meng and sat down together on one side.
"Fei Wu called Mom!"
Lin Meng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“It’s all for that child outside. He begged me to help, to make sure you take him in. Oh, he pleaded so hard, I just couldn’t say no. But I know, this isn’t right, it’s not honest, and it’s going to put you in a difficult position, but…”
"Mom, I had a bitter laugh. "I feel like I owed that man in my past life, so this life is just to pay it back. That's why I have to swallow my pride and ask you. The kid outside, he gave me a detailed introduction. He’s so young and already lost both parents, he's pitiful. His grandmother doesn't even care about him, and she's not very clear-headed either, so the only one he can rely on is his grandfather. But this child is kind-hearted and wants to learn and improve himself, so he came to you. Fly Wu said that this idea was completely the child's own. Last night, the child knelt before him begging to come here. Fly Wu felt that he was getting old, with more will than ability, and since the child had such a heart, he supported him, so he agreed. He also thinks that the child coming here can learn more useful things. Don’t delay anything, don’t delay the child’s growth. He said that seeing Rong Qikang grow up into what he is now, he has no confidence in teaching this child, so he could only entrust him to someone worthy of trust. He spoke between the lines, expressing his trust and recognition in you and Rong Ling. I was actually quite happy when I heard it. This is true trust and recognition. Young Master Rong Hendu was shot last time and almost died. This time, his injury hasn't fully healed yet, he knelt at the door begging to come here, he really has a good heart. He knelt for a whole day without taking even a grain of rice. It was raining heavily, but he didn't leave. He just kept kneeling there. Looking at him, I think this child truly means it."
He's just the son of Rong Qi, and grandson of Du Caiyi. You, Rong Ling, and what happened to that family, Mom knows a lot about it. So letting you take in that child was definitely putting you in a difficult position. This time, Mom is really asking you for a favor. Mengmeng, I'm sorry, but can you help with this Rong Feiwu said he would come personally later to ask you. Mom hopes that when the time comes, you'll agree and consider it helping me, okay"
This left Lin Meng wondering how to answer. For a moment, she was silent.
Then, the mother patted Lin Meng's hand.
"Mom wouldn't even kneel down to beg you for anything..."
"Mom!" Lin Meng hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
"Mom shook her head. "That would only shorten your lifespan, Mom can't force you like that. You are the kind of person Mom knows well, in this matter, if you can help, I'll definitely remember it for a lifetime. But if it's really too difficult for you..."
She sighed. “Well, that's it then!”
To Lin Meng, she was at most just a grandmother-in-law. How could she be so demanding Besides, her daughter-in-law has always been kind to her, how could she shamelessly push things further!
"Mom, I need some time to think this over. "
Mother Rong was increasingly embarrassed. She understood in her heart that she had agreed to that matter precisely because she knew Lin Meng was filial. Taking advantage of her kindness and filial piety for her own gain, Mother Rong now felt a twinge of shame and regret.
"Mengmeng, Mom...Mom did the wrong thing. I put pressure on you!"
Lin Meng shook her head. Rong Mama sighed again, and from the bottom of her heart, she confided in her.
"Mom agreed to this matter, actually it was for her own selfishness. The most important thing is to make up for her own hurt. Although Mom felt she did nothing wrong that year, in the eyes of others, she probably interfered with other people's families, which was wrong. Du Caiyi's scolding, don't look at Mom as a carefree person, but she still took it to heart. So when Rong Feiwu came to beg her, Mom agreed to this matter. We helped raise the child here, and the old debt was wiped out. But in this way, Mom felt relieved, but you and Rong Ling suffered. Now that Mom thinks about it, she feels a little selfish. How can she push her own debts onto you"
Speaking of this, Rong Mama's voice became a little nasal and she seemed on the verge of tears.
Lin Meng hurriedly replied, "Mom, don't say that. We're a family, and families don't talk like strangers. Your business is my business. Please don't separate things so clearly. I understand your thoughts, and I will definitely think it over carefully. The only thing is, I promised Youyou and Haohuo this morning that I wouldn't let Rong Hengduo come in, so I need time to figure out how to handle this. Also, as for Rong Ling...I need to think about how to deal with that too!"
As soon as the words left his lips, there was a knock on the door - "Knock knock --". With the third knock, the door swung open. Rong Ling's tall figure then stepped in.
Mother Rong's face suddenly lifted, her expression a mixture of shock and unshed tears. Rong Ling caught it all in his gaze. His eyes sharpened instantly, and when he spoke, his words struck like an arrow to the heart.
"Rong Fei called you!"
It's not a question, but a definite affirmation!
Although he didn't think of this aspect at first, his mind was quick and he reacted swiftly, soon figuring out what was going on and rushing over. Once he saw the scene, it would be 100% confirmed!
When Mom saw her son's cold and angry expression, tears welled up in her eyes. She was a little afraid of him, so she cooperated very willingly and honestly answered his questions.
Yes, he called me...
She repeated what she had just said to Lin Meng.
"Rong Ling, Mom has figured it out. Although I agreed, this is my own business, and it doesn't concern you. You don't have to worry about me either, just do what you think is right."
"Mom!" Lin Meng hurriedly reached out to wipe Rong's mother's tears. "This isn't a big deal, why are you crying Don't cry, don't cry. Besides, I still say the same thing, we are a family, your business is everyone's business, you can't be distant. As for whether to accept Rong Hengduo, it's a small matter, not worth your tears, nor this serious treatment. Be good, don't cry, don't cry, be good...be good..."
Lin Meng couldn't help but adopt a coaxing tone as if speaking to two young children. Unexpectedly, Mama Rong, just like a big child herself, was actually pacified by Lin Meng's words. Her tears slowly began to subside.
Lin dreamt that she was relieved, and then raised her eyes to look at Rong Ling. Seeing that her man’s face was not good, his complexion was a little dark, his eyes were extremely cold, she first let go of Rong's mother, stood up and walked towards him, hugged his arm, and acted coquettishly.
"Oh, come now, it's not a big deal! Look at you making such a fuss. Are you trying to scare me and Mom"
