ands of Lin Meng, or in the hands of Xiaoyou!While he accepted Lin Meng's feelings, he hadn't reached the point where he would give up his company!He called in his two brothers and told them everythin...No matter what, he couldn't let her hurt his little sweetheart. So, he immediately grabbed her and asked her again.

"We're here now, tell me, what are you going to do!"

She put on an air of mystery. "Don't ask, just follow me!"

"Tell me!" he insisted.

She shook her head and made a coquettish shushing gesture toward him. In truth, the look sent a shiver down his spine. He furrowed his brows and stared at her intently, with an air of suspicion.

Li Lanqiu immediately soothed him. “Trust me, just do what I say.”

He raised an eyebrow. "I don't understand, how could this place possibly help you find a way to help your uncle"

"You'll see when the time comes. Come on, let's go inside first." she urged.

Although Rong Ling still held her arm tightly, he seemed to be thinking, hesitating. After a long while, he relaxed his furrowed brows but warned her.

Okay, I hear you. However, Lin Meng is my backup plan. You are not allowed to clash with Lin Meng until I fully understand your plan!

Li Lanqiu was unhappy.

But Rong Ling remained silent, just staring at her, waiting for her answer.

His words were so cold, and underneath that coldness lay a stony hardness and indifference. In this silent battle of gazes, Li Lanqiu was no match for Rong Ling. She viewed him as just another wealthy tycoon, someone who prioritized profit above all else. This made her more susceptible to his words, more easily threatened by him.

"Good."

She agreed.

Before she had no capital to fight Lin Meng without giving a definite hope.

Only then did Rong Ling let go of her hand.

Li Lanqiu pouted, reaching out with one hand to knead the place that had just been tightly held by Rong Ling.

"You've hurt me."

Whining softly.

Rong Ling frowned again.

These days, the number of times he furrows his brow feels like he's already lived through half his life.

Tugging at her arm, he restrained himself from snapping it clean off. Instead, he gently lifted it up, examined it, then pursed his lips and remained silent. He always acted this way towards others, so let Li Lanqiu figure out what he meant herself.

As for human nature, Rong Ling's view is indeed quite profound. Li Lanqiu quickly explained that with Rong Ling being so cold and aloof, he wouldn't be able to show much tenderness or apologize to her at this time. She could only reluctantly suppress her longing and had to cheer herself up, lifting her spirits and smiling at him.

"Well, let's get down to business!"

As she spoke, her arm reached out and she took his.

"Let's go!"

She wanted to show Lin Meng that she, Li Lanqiu, was back, and back with absolute victory!

Inside the house, Lin Meng and Rong Mama were talking about Li Lanqiu, but they didn't expect that Li Lanqiu would appear at the door again. (..tw no pop-up ads) Even though she had clearly told the security guard not to let her in, and after both she and her mother-in-law expressed their disgust for Li Lanqiu to Rong Ling, Li Lanqiu came back, so quickly, brought back by Rong Ling, holding his hand intimately.

That really stung her!

After ending her conversation with Mother Rong, she suddenly stood up and glared at Rong Ling displeasure.

"What are you bringing this woman back here for!"

Rong Ling didn't reply, avoiding her gaze. Feeling Li Lanqiu stop, he urged her on.

"Let's go!"

Li Lanqiu feigned innocence with a light "Mmm," but then swiftly smirked at Lin Meng and said loudly.

I'm back!

"Qiqi!" Rong Ling warned in a low voice.

Li Lanqiu quickly added.

"Mother, I brought Rong Ling back to see you."

What is this talk about What does it mean that she brought Rong Ling back to see her! It's like Rong Ling has been away for a long time, and it makes it seem like there's a huge conflict between Rong Ma and Rong Ling. It also makes it seem like she's very close to Rong Ma.

Not only did Lin Meng frown, but Mother Rong frowned as well.

Li Lanqiu, however, seemed not to see, and even more intimately pulled Rong Ling's arm, dragging him towards Rong Mama.

"Aunt, you just slapped Rong Ling. I think you must feel sorry for him. Rong Ling took me away like that, angrily... no, he must have also worried you. So, I brought him back to avoid any resentment between you and your son. Aunt, today's events are all my fault, so please don't blame Rong Ling!"

Her words truly surprised Rong Mama! This girl is so considerate!

And Lin Meng, raised an eyebrow, expressing great suspicion. She, Li Lanqiu, could never be this kind of person.

At this time, Rong Ling opened her mouth, as if her anger hadn't subsided.

"Aki Aki, no need to say more, go do your thing!"

How could Li Lanqiu possibly miss this chance to expose someone who was putting on a show of their own goodness

"Come on, don't look like that. Your mother-in-law was really angry just now, so don't be like this!"

Upon hearing this, Mother Rong hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on Rong Ling. Her brown eyes flickered with a hint of hope. All of this was witnessed by Li Lanqiu. As expected, this tactic had worked, touching Mother Rong's heart.

But unfortunately, Rong Ling refused to cooperate at all. He acted as if he had been slapped hard, truly bearing a grudge for a moment, and couldn't let it go.

“Qiuqiu, you don't need to worry about this!” he said angrily. “If you only brought me back for this, then leave!”

Speaking, with a cold ruthlessness of being deceived, he quickly pulled out his arm from Li Lanqiu's grasp, flung her aside, and turned to leave.

"Rong Ling!"

The two people in a hurry are, one is Rong's mother and the other is Li Lanqiu.

Mother had been uneasy in her heart all along. Now, seeing her son like this, she was truly panicked. She raised her foot and was about to chase after him, but Lin Meng grabbed her with lightning speed.

"Mom, let him go. What's the big deal" she scoffed lightly. A pair of beautiful eyes, filled with inquiry and contemplation, gazed at Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu.

What the hell is Rong Ling trying to do!

What on earth is Li Lanqiu trying to do!

What on earth are these two up to!

Rong Ling said, what did she ask Li Lanqiu to do!

From容 Ling once again brought Li Lanqiu to the door. Even though Lin Meng was furious, she didn't miss a single key point; instead, she carefully grasped and pondered them repeatedly, hoping to find some clues.

Li Lanqiu was anxious. She hadn't expected Rong Ling to be so impatient. It seemed that after Rong Mama's slap, Rong Ling wouldn't give her a good look in the short term.

Since that was the case, she needn't continue to play nice at this juncture.

"Wait, don't go! We'll get things done right away!"

With both hands, she tightly gripped Rong Ling's arm.

Rong Ling stopped then, but looking at Li Lan Qiu's expression, she already showed suspicion everywhere.

Li Lanqiu's heart sounded the alarm bell, knowing deep down that if she waited any longer, Rong Ling would definitely no longer believe her!

This is a rare opportunity, she must seize it.

Let's go!

She dragged Rong Ling back, her target the staircase landing and the study on the second floor.

Is Rong Ling really the person they suspect We can find out by looking at his computer. Last time, her operation was ruined by Lin Meng, and she didn't get anything. So, people above have been questioning her abilities ever since. This time, she has to succeed. First, it's to show off her achievements, second, it's also to gain the trust of her superiors and prove that Rong Ling can be trusted. Of course, the premise for this is that there isn't anything suspicious in Rong Ling's computer.

She arrived here unexpectedly this time, which completely ruled out the possibility of Rong Ling being prepared. She deliberately didn't tell Rong Ling what she was going to do or where she was going, only asking Rong Ling to believe her and follow her lead. This was all to make the plan more perfect. When she submitted this report to her superiors later, it would allow them to believe and be satisfied to the greatest extent possible.

Okay, as the mistress of this house, Lin Meng couldn't just stand by and watch Li Lanqiu dragging her man around like this, especially with a mistress running rampant!

Even if, Rong Ling really has a hard time!

"Li Lanqiu, stop right there!" she shouted fiercely.

Li Lanqiu fell like Lin Meng, the corners of her mouth curving into a faint smile. As Lin Meng wished, she stopped.

“Rong Ling, did Lin Meng tell me to stand here”

Putting on a faade of grievance, she was actually subtly complaining, blaming Lin Meng for hindering her. I believe Rong Ling must be displeased. She slightly turned her face to look at Rong Ling, and just as she did, she heard Rong Ling coldly address Lin Meng.

"Mumu, Qiuqiu and I have something to do. You stay with Mom!"

Then, he no longer let Li Lanqiu lead him, but instead dragged her forward.

Li Lanqiu, as Rong Ling strode past her, quickly grinned at Lin Meng, a silent, triumphant smile.

Lin Meng, you have to see this clearly!

This appearance caused fury to rise in Lin Meng's heart.

What's going on!

She pressed further, gently kneading her mother's hand, signaling her not to move. She strode forward, approaching Rong Li and the other.

Li Lanqiu was about to answer when Rong Ling beat her to it.

He scolded Lin Meng.

"Who cares what it is, as long as it's legitimate. Don't worry about it!"

Yet he didn't even glance at Lin Meng, still clutching Li Lanqiu's hand and walking forward, then asked Li Lanqiu.

"Where are you going!"

Li Lanqiu slanted her eyes at Lin Meng's icy cold face, feeling a surge of satisfaction in her heart. This feeling was just like drinking iced beverages on a sweltering summer day.

“The second floor!” she replied cheerfully.

Rong Ling dragged her along, his steps never faltering. He walked very quickly because he didn't want to face Lin Meng head-on; all he wanted now was to leave Lin Meng behind him.

"Róng Líng!" Lin Meng shouted, with great reproach.

Róng Lǐng didn't even glance at her, let alone respond.

A palpable sadness immediately washed over Lin Meng's face. Worried, Rong Mama hurried forward and took Lin Meng's hand, trying to offer comfort. But it was no use!

"You can catch up!" Li Lanqiu stood on the stairs, looking down at her. She threw out that sentence, arrogantly as if she were a queen.

Lin Meng narrowed her eyes and pulled away from Rong Mama's hand.

"Don't go!" Mom pleaded with her. In this situation, it was a stalemate. Looking at Li Lanqiu's appearance, she felt that Mengmeng had gone too far and could only be harming herself.

But Lin Meng has to go!

She wanted to see what Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu were really up to. She also wanted to figure out what Rong Ling's so-called hardship was all about!

She thought resentfully and sadly, that it would be better if Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu truly did something to her, hurt her badly enough once, so that she could be liberated.

She followed him.

Rong Ling roared, "Go back!"

"It's alright," Li Lanqiu softly soothed him, her voice gentle with a smile. "Just let Lin Meng come along, it's alright."

"What is she coming over here for!" he angrily retorted, turning back and giving Lin Meng a warning glare. "Stay here and don't move!"

"This is my home!" Lin Mengyang raised her chin defiantly, a wry smile twisting her lips. "I can go wherever I want!"

A rebellious gaze, fearless and defiant, pushed back against Rong Ling's deep, penetrating stare.

"Just let her come along!" Li Lanqiu still urged softly.

Rong Ling sank his face, stopped speaking, and turned to leave. Li Lanqiu smiled and continued to arm-in-arm with Rong Ling. Lin Meng trailed behind, watching the two's intimacy with a blank expression.

Li Lanqiu walked all the way to the study door. She demanded Rong Ling open the door. Rong Ling raised an eyebrow slightly and opened the door.

"I want to use your computer!"

Li Lanqiu spoke very loudly, as if afraid that Lin Meng wouldn't hear her.

Lin Meng was suddenly startled, her eyes widened as she looked at Rong Ling.

No!

She screamed silently in her mind!

That day, with the computer incident, Li Lanqiu almost killed her. Now, she's making such a big request, it's a huge provocation to her. No, this is no longer a provocation, but an irony. If Rong Ling agreed, how could she bear it! What she did that day, what she experienced, was a huge joke.

Pain shot through her eyes, she stared fixedly at Rong Ling. For some reason, she felt that Rong Ling would agree. This Rong Ling, from the moment he entered, wasn't her Lin Meng's Rong Ling anymore. He was like a different person, transformed into the one who belonged to Li Lanqiu. So, her heart was filled with such profound sadness.

As expected, Rong Ling hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

She felt she had become a complete joke!

She didn't believe it, Rong Ling couldn't see that Li Lanqiu was doing this on purpose. That day, it was because of the computer incident that Li Lanqiu ended up taking the blame for a thief and being forcefully taken away. But now, Rong Ling allowed Li Lanqiu to openly use his computer, which basically negated the entire incident and her accusations. If Li Lanqiu was so trustworthy, then she couldn't have been a thief. So who was the real thief!

It goes without saying!

Rong Ling, you are pushing me to the brink!

She gave a sad smile and looked down.

Screw his damn woes!

She's had enough!

She turned and resolutely left. She missed the look Rong Ling shot at her, a gaze filled with profound meaning. Or perhaps, it wasn't that she missed it, but that she refused to look!ave negative consequences for him. If Rong Ling were to try, and find someone influential enough, he could potentially face severe repercussions and even see his career stagnate.Anxiety crept into his...
