l her relatives, only her father could be considered her weakness.Rong Sanbo knew how to threaten someone. He didn't kill Lin Bao directly, but instead left him half-dead in the hospital, all just to...Rong Ling's face softened a little. (..)tw's great novels. His anger wasn't primarily directed at Rong's mother, but at Rong Fei Wu. That old rascal, how dare he show his face and beg from his own mother here In his whole life, only he owed his mother. As he grew old, he still came to cheat his mother. That old rascal really deserved a beating!

As for her own mother, she has always been a generous and outgoing person who loves to help others. However, due to her temper, she never asks people for favors in front of her. Instead, she helps others within her own capabilities. Over the years, she has gotten along very well with the neighbors.Du Caiyi's several attempts were also because those neighbors trusted and helped her, which reduced a lot of her problems. But this mother, when it comes to Rong Feiwu, that old scoundrel, always goes against her principles. That old scoundrel must know this, but he still took advantage of it this time, which made him quite unhappy. When things are good, he doesn't think of his mother, but when he encounters difficulties, he remembers her. How shameless!

"Mom, are you senile"

Mom was scolded so badly that her head hung down in shame.

Lin Meng hurriedly tugged at him, but seeing that he didn't even look at her, just glared coldly at Rong Mama by herself, she had no choice but to speak.

"Rong Ling, don't do this..."

But even she got scolded.

"Shut up! Mom's gone crazy, and you're following suit!"

Lin Meng was truly taken aback.

"Mom Rong was immediately anxious and quickly dissuaded her. "Rong Ling, why are you talking to Mengmeng so loudly She hasn't done anything wrong."

Feng Ling just gave him a cold stare and snorted. "She doesn't want to persuade you or stop you, but instead treats you as the most important person. You tell me, did she do anything wrong"

Lin Meng lowered her face, and for a moment, her heart felt a little uncomfortable.

When Mom saw this, her tears came out again.

“It’s all my fault, I was wrong. Mengmeng is filial and cares about me as her mother, so she followed me. She’s a good girl, you shouldn’t say that about her.”

After finishing his words, he quickly soothed Lin Meng.

"Mengmeng, Rongling is just saying something to vent. Don't take it to heart. This whole thing is messed up, it's all Mom's fault. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore, pretend it never happened, okay Let's just forget about it!"

Lin Meng raised her face, gave a strained smile, and softly replied, "Mom, it's fine."

Actually, her nose felt a bit sour and tears were welling up. It had been ages since a man spoke to her in such a harsh tone. And today, what could she possibly say to refute him Wasn't he just being filial to his mother Was there anything wrong with that!

His eyes were slightly red.

Ronger's actions were even more excessive, as she casually flung her arm and shouted coldly at Lin Meng.

"Come with me, and let's talk this through."

He spoke, then strode out. His back was cloaked in coldness.

Lin Meng pursed her lips and followed him.

"Rong Ling, what are you doing" Mom Rong was so anxious she almost followed. "I told you, it was Mom who was wrong, why are you bothering Mengmeng for this"

"Mom, you stay here. After I'm done with her, I'll be done with you!" A cold voice, laced with frost, came over.

"No, you're not allowed to talk about her!" Mom ran towards Lin Meng, wanting to hug her and stop her from leaving.

Rong Ling heard the noise and turned around, suddenly lifting Lin Meng up. This startled Lin Meng.

"Let me down, let me down!"

She was scared, not because she was afraid of being scolded or anything like that, but because this man still had injuries on him. With her weight, this man was practically courting death, acting so recklessly.

“Let me down!” She was both frightened and angry, so her voice involuntarily rose in pitch. This reached Mother Rong’s ears, but sounded to her like fear. She became even more anxious and couldn't help but boldly reprimand her.

"Rong Ling, put Meng Meng down, quick, release her!"

He responded with only long strides and a slammed door. When she, exasperated, pulled the door open to chase him, he had already opened the opposite guest room door and hauled Lin Meng inside. Then with another "bang," the opposite door was shut firmly, followed immediately by the sound of the lock clicking into place.

"Rong Ling, what are you doing Open the door for me!" Rong's mother knocked anxiously on the door, shouting. "If you dare to bully Mengmeng, Mom will be angry and won't forgive you, open the door, please open it quickly..."

When Mother was out there frantic, this locked guestroom held a different scene altogether —

Rong Ling looked as if he was coldly and angrily carrying Lin Meng in, but as soon as the handcuffs fell, he put her down from his shoulders. He gently controlled his strength, waiting for her feet to touch the ground before leaning into her ear and whispering softly —

"Sorry!"

She was already a little confused, and this sudden change left her even more disoriented. He stopped walking only when they were a bit farther from the door, still holding her in a loose embrace.

"I'm sorry, I was speaking to you in a low voice and didn't say hello beforehand. Was that unfair to you Did I make you feel wronged"

He whispered softly, his eyes gentle as if they could draw out water. The face that was usually so sharp, like it had been carved from a blade, and seemed especially fierce when he wasn't smiling, now softened like it had been caressed by the spring breeze.

She seemed to have grasped something!

He extended his thumb and wiped away the corners of her eyes, not feeling much moisture. Then he let out a breath.

"I'm really afraid you'll cry, oh my gosh, it breaks my heart!"

As he spoke, he lightly touched her soft eyelids with his lips, one on each side.

The slight pang of acidity in her heart had long since disappeared, replaced by a faint sweetness at the tip of her heart. However, she didn't show it on her face. After all, this man was being so overbearing and scaring her like that.

"I almost cried just now!" she murmured softly, her eyes welling up, as if about to shed tears. "What you just said was really hurtful, I felt so much pain inside at that moment."

"I'm so sorry!" he apologized again, his voice filled with remorse. "At the time, I was thinking of using this situation to teach Mom a lesson, so I didn't even think about saying hello to you before I said those things!"

Then he suddenly took her away, Mom tried to stop them, but he just carried her off. I guess he was also worried, and probably because he cared for her, that's why he was so anxious, right

This made her heart even sweeter.

Then tell me first, what do you think I'll decide whether to forgive you after hearing that!

This little girl!

He chuckled. With that expression on her face, hiding nothing from him, it was clear she wasn't able to keep her feelings bottled up. Her coquettish tone only confirmed she had returned to normal. She was still pretending to be fierce and intimidating!

He didn't press her, letting her explain herself obediently.

“Whenever Mom gets involved with Rong Fei Wu’s matters, she tends to faint. I've told her several times before, but Rong Fei Wu is like a scourge for Mom. What I say doesn't seem to work. This time, she agreed again. I don't want Mom to get too entangled with Rong Fei Wu, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to teach Mom a lesson. In the past, when she was scolded by me, it was her own business. She has a bad memory and forgets about it after a while. But this time is different. This time, because of her, you got scolded too. Mom will definitely remember this. Next time there's something like this, she won't dare to do it again.”

Lin Meng was stunned. How could this man even scheme against his own mother

"Didn't you see how anxious and worried your mother was just now If she really thinks you disciplined me, how guilty and miserable she would be!"

"I just want her to feel more guilty and miserable, so she'll remember it in her heart! This is for her own good. Rong Fei Wu definitely won't divorce Du Cai Yi, I don't want to find a way to make Mom stay away from Rong Fei Wu, then all the suffering she endured before would be for nothing. For the first thirty years, she kept her reputation pure and lived an upright life. But as she got older, she ended up entangled with Rong Fei Wu, ruining her reputation. This was such a loss! If Rong Fei Wu could divorce Du Cai Yi, that would be fine. But that marriage is impossible to end, so we must make Mom herself recognize from the bottom of her heart that she needs to stay away from Rong Fei Wu. You've always been good to Mom, doing everything she asks. The more harshly I scold you, the guiltier she'll feel inside. When she reflects on it later, she'll be able to see things more clearly. So when you go out a while, make sure to act as pitiful and wronged as possible. I'll then put some water on your face to make you look like you're crying!"

Lin Meng was speechless.

"Come on, don't be like that! Your mom would be heartbroken!"

He's about to be played like a fiddle!

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "Where is she pitiful She's the eldest in her family now, and whenever something happens, you rush to her side, helping her with this and that. You buy her things, cook for her, and cater to her every whim. You never argue with her, always agreeing with her, treating her like a queen. If someone didn't know better, they'd think she was your wife. All the sharpness you show to me vanishes in front of her. You dare to glare at me, forbidding me from doing this and that, but when you're around her, you smile sweetly and coax her with gentle words. Tell me, where is her misfortune She's living a life of great luxury!"

What he said was so bitter, it hit me right in the face!

After a moment of silence, Lin Meng tentatively asked, "You wouldn't be jealous, would you"

The man's face suddenly became rather strange. It was a kind of strange that is difficult to describe in words, as if he had understood something all at once, yet also as if he had been touched emotionally, and as if he were both embarrassed and trying to cover it up...

Her eyes, growing increasingly curved, her lips curling higher and higher, her complexion flushing a deeper red, and then her entire face blossomed into a radiant smile like a fully opened peach blossom before bursting into laughter.

"Hee hee... hee hee... ha... haha... hahaha..."

From a little bit of playful jealousy, to the unbelievable, to realizing the deep affection behind it, and then that affection being brewed into honey, and finally, that sweet honey landing on her heart, her laughter grew louder and louder. It turned out, the sweeter it was.

All the expressions on his face quickly converged into a feeling called "embarrassment". But, men are indeed powerful; that embarrassment only lingered for a few seconds before swiftly disappearing. His complexion returned to normal. Then, his large hand reached out and lightly covered her mouth.

"Psst, don't laugh, or you'll get caught by Mom!"

There is no hiding his intentions here!
