Meng felt a little embarrassed and secretly glanced at Rong Ling, hoping the man could save the situation, but the man said."Li Lanqiu must be tired. Mengmeng, you go prepare a room for Li Lanqiu and...Mom Rong had made up her mind to leave, and no amount of persuasion from Lin Meng could change it. [..twTons of good novels] At the time, Mom Rong deliberately chose to tell Lin Meng and Rong Ling when the two children weren't around. Rong Ling remained silent throughout, but when he finally spoke, he made the final decision.
"Alright, go back then. J City is nice."
When he said that, Lin Meng didn't know what to say and could only turn her head away, looking at him with some anxiety. He raised his hand and gently patted her little hand, explaining it to her, and also to Rong Mama.
"Even though our villa is big, it's not as spacious as the neighborhoods and streets in City J. Keeping Mom confined here all day isn't good for her. City J has many of Mom's old friends and neighbors. She can easily drop by their places, chat, go shopping together, or do other activities. That's Mom's social circle, and it's what she's accustomed to. Going back means she can eat well, have fun, and be healthier than staying at home all day browsing the internet. Plus, City J is close by, so we can always take our son to visit Mom, and she can come here whenever she wants. If Mom misses Youyou and them, she can video call anytime, without any interruptions. As for Rong Fei Wu and Du Cai Yi, they are not worth considering at all. There's no need to change ourselves because of them. I agree with Mom going back because that place is more suitable for her."
Mom laughed. “That’s right, Rongling is so right, that’s exactly what happened.”
Lin Meng thought about it, and that made sense. Humans are social animals, and friends are very important. People from her mother's generation weren't like people today. Because of the internet, they tended to be more "homebodies." Communication between friends could be easily handled with a single network cable. Their generation didn't have widespread computer use; they were more accustomed to going out and socializing with friends in person.
She stopped advising him, but privately she expressed her concern to Rong Ling.
"As a single mother, don't you ever feel lonely"
This person's character is that if they put someone in their heart, they will treat that person very well and think about them from the bottom of their heart.
"It's okay, Mom is used to being alone."
He told her about his childhood and how he had separated from his mother when he grew up, and he emphasized again about her old friends.
"All the residents in that community were her old neighbors from back then. They had all agreed to move together when they were relocated. The security of that building was good, and normally, people just walked out without even closing their doors. They would visit each other's homes freely and have a great time. After playing upstairs or downstairs for a while, they'd go back to sleep. Mom didn't spend much time alone either. Plus, the community often had activities going on. Mom also ran her own barbershop, so she would often go over there to help out. Her friends would also drop by the barbershop from time to time. When Mom went back, her life was only more fulfilling. Don't overthink it. Besides, we hired an aunt to take care of Mom at home, and the neighbors also keep an eye on her. I've made it clear that they'll look after her as well. If I were to be even more specific..."
He pinched her little upturned nose with a slightly wicked grin, a faint smile playing on his lips. “The backer behind that neighborhood is me, and I have quite a few businesses on that street. Everything is under my control. Little darling, this way, are you feeling more at ease”
Well, she overthought it again!
Okay, here goes this man again showing off his depth and strength!
"It's the same, this man is both ruthless and tenderhearted. That's his only mother, could he not take care of her!"
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner" she turned her face away, avoiding his teasing, and complained softly.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, his handsome face burying itself in her ear. He chuckled softly. The man's laughter was low and sexy, more alluring than any violin melody. She listened, her body softening slightly, one hand resting lightly on his solid waist.
"Why are you smiling" she asked softly, and his smile seemed to bring a smile to her face as well.
He said, "My estate is all written in my will. How come you weren't told"
But this little woman just wouldn't stop looking!
Money and possessions mean nothing to her!
He smiled, of course, because in his arms was this one-of-a-kind treasure.
She immediately blushed a little sheepishly and stuck out her tongue. "Uh... didn't see it. I'll take a good look when I have time."
He, however, felt that her gaze would infinitely prolong. If he didn't have an interest in that aspect, he just didn't have it. He could explain to her later if they met again.
Thus, with both adults agreeing, Rong Mama returned to J City. The two little ones were more composed than Lin Meng, although a little reluctant, they didn't cry or beg Rong Mama to stay. Counting it all up, the person in this household who was most unwilling for Rong Mama to leave was actually Lin Meng himself. This situation left Lin Meng speechless and oddly feeling that his own two children would probably grow up to be as cold-hearted as their father.
Regardless of how you put it, in the end, it was Rong Ling and his family who personally sent Rong's mother back to City J. When they arrived, the house didn't need to be cleaned. The hired aunt, who had always maintained a working relationship with them, immediately came ahead of time upon hearing the news and tidied up the house. At the same time, the neighbors both left and right also rushed over. That scene was quite lively. However, what was interesting was that everyone didn't really gather around Rong Ling, they all looked rather afraid of him. Lin Meng watched and laughed inwardly.
This man, sometimes his presence is just so overwhelming!
The family stayed overnight, and it was precisely because they saw the neighbors' warmth that Lin Meng felt at ease taking her children and Rong Ling back to city B the next day. After that, whenever weekends or holidays came around, she would return to city J. Based on Miao Qing's feedback, Rong's mother was living a very fulfilling life in city J, which filled her with genuine happiness.
As for Rong Fei Wu, who supposedly had his condition worsen suddenly after Rong Mama left, turning a simple cold into near pneumonia, Lin Meng couldn't help but feel a mix of schadenfreude and disdain. The person is gone, and you're only acting sick now What does that even mean! Get over yourself and stop dragging Mom into this!
He said, "Hard work, Miao Qing," and then hung up the phone. Turning around, she went back to her study. In the study, Rong Ling was teaching three children. They had agreed that every evening from 7:00 to 9:00 on weekdays, he would teach Rong Heng Duo, as well as his two own children. Lin Meng did nothing else, and with a certain admiration for her husband's strength, she didn't hesitate to eavesdrop. The first time she sat down beside him, the man didn't chase her away, so this led to another, and her eavesdropping became a habit. However, she really just listened, never expressing her own questions or opinions during the teaching process. Even if she had some doubts in her heart, she asked them only when she was alone with the man later.
Just then, as she was listening in, the phone rang. She went out of the study to answer it. After entering the room, her eyes met his very naturally. She looked into his eyes and smiled at him, seeing that he had calmed down and withdrawn his gaze, she sat back down on the sofa in the small study, while the four people engaged in their lessons were in the large study opposite.
Accompanied by the familiar sounds of her three little ones, she picked up the sweater she had been knitting on one side for a while, which was already starting to take shape, and continued knitting. This was her second knitted sweater in recent times. The first one she finished, she gave it to Rongman as a gift. In return, Rongman gifted her a handmade necklace. She returned the favor with a hand-knitted sweater. It was her specialty, and one that she could be proud of. Back when she was abroad, her own designs were once favored by a company who wanted her to work exclusively as a designer for them, mass producing her designs. However, she declined. Knitting was a hobby, something she did in her spare time. She didn't want this hobby to become strictly commercialized, or even worse, forced upon her someday. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life solely devoted to it.
The one she made for Rong Man was adorned with carefully selected gemstones, meticulously stitched on with fine needles. It created a design that was both elegant and natural, noble but not extravagant. That dress would have been perfect even for formal events. She was quite satisfied with the result. And Rong Man's feedback was also delightful. She said that when she wore the dress to an event, people kept praising her on how beautiful it looked and many asked about where she got it from. That night, her heart was filled with joy!
"I said it was my good friend's handiwork, made especially for me. It really impressed them, hee hee…"
There was still a trace of excitement from the return of the banquet in Rong Manfei's soaring voice.
This excitement was contagious, making her happy too. After all, it was her work!
But she dared not be too happy, or else the man would probably get angry again. The day the first sweater was finished, the man's dissatisfaction had fully erupted. Although he didn't say much, his face that day was very sour. No matter how she coaxed him, he wouldn't smile at her. That cool look made her itch her teeth a little. Later, it was Xiao Youyou who ate vinegar and came to her side, embarrassedly lowering his eyes, but with a cool face, he said to her.
"Mommy, Youyou wants a pretty sweater too."
Her face, which resembled a man's in some ways, immediately gave her an understanding.
Turning back, she went out and picked up some fine wool. While the man was giving the three boys another lesson, she began to knit clothes again. The man frowned and asked in a cool voice.
"Who is this for"
Because she had understood it, she could really clearly hear the resentment in his tone.
This laugh, it's just a bit uncontrollable.
"Here you go!" she chirped back.
The man was stunned and fell silent.
At this moment, Little Youyou poked her head out and quickly chirped, "Mommy, when is it my turn When will you knit something for me"
But was immediately scolded by a man.
What are you doing Pay attention in class and don't get distracted!
He seemed like a completely different person from the one who had been inattentive and distracted during class. This sight almost made her laugh out loud.
This man, sometimes can also be described as "awkward", sometimes, he is surprisingly "cute"!ys!A mischievous glint appeared in his peach blossom eyes, and he grinned wickedly."Don't worry, I've got this. I'll make sure you're satisfied!"Even if it was acting, she would choose him, wouldn't s...
