ugh his confession was rejected, he just can't let her go!He was afraid that if Lin Meng saw him like this, she would feel sorry for him, so he hurriedly turned his head away. But Lin Meng still saw h...She doesn't understand!

This was clearly something we agreed on earlier!

"Was the banquet canceled"

She was still thinking in the best possible way, and that's how she asked.

"Don't go out, just wait for me at home, I'll be there soon."

He had already learned from Zunshu that she was about to go out for a haircut, so he called her before that to prevent her from running around and tiring herself out in vain.

Lin Meng heard this, she could only tell the driver to stop the car. In fact, she had already gotten into the car, and it was about to drive to the door.

Is it not convenient to say now, what is the matter

“I'll tell you when I get back. Stay home and wait for me.”

She thought about it for a moment, and reluctantly agreed. After hanging up the phone, she asked her driver, Xiao Lu, to drive the car back.

That night, Rong Ling thought about facing Lin Meng in a little while, and a wave of helplessness arose in his heart. This was originally a planned event, but Li Lanqiu had unexpectedly intervened. She said that he needed to bring her to the event to show those people how much he valued her. After all, it was she who highly recommended him as her future husband, so those people agreed to take this risk and help. During his return to the Rong family, if he brought her to the event, then those people would have no more doubts and would definitely do their best to assist him.

He didn't know how much of what Li Lanqiu said was true and how much was false, but he knew she had big ambitions. In the circumstances where he couldn't directly contact those people, Li Lanqiu became the middleman. With her silver tongue, she could play both sides, relaying information and creating a lot of small movements whenever she wanted.

He couldn't refuse, on what grounds! Li Lanqiu even came up with a reason for Lin Meng to not attend, saying that she wasn't feeling well!

Li Lanqiu, half crying and half threatening, said that if he loved her, he should take her to the event. Otherwise, all his actions were just deceiving her. She also said that if she couldn't appear with him in this way in public, then people wouldn't believe it.

He had come so far, almost to the point where he could obtain the crucial information at the end of the banquet. At such a moment, he couldn't simply stand by and watch all his efforts go to waste! Given Li Lanqiu's cunning and tendency to be difficult, there was a high chance that she wouldn't be truthful afterwards if he didn't agree to her terms. Then he would have to spend time coaxing and flattering her all over again, starting from scratch to gather the information!

He felt, that's enough!

So, all he could think of was to blame Lin Meng.

She could use her illness as an excuse to avoid the awkwardness of not being there.

He returned home and was met by the anxiously waiting Lin Meng.

"What on earth is going on! Could it be that something's happened with the Rong family again!"

Looking at her like this, he felt heartache and guilt grew even stronger.

"Good boy."

He held her close, and finally pressed her down onto the couch. He gently stroked her cheek with his hand.

"Little one, this isn't about your family. This time, it's my fault."

He knew she was smart, so when her face suddenly turned pale, he knew she had guessed it. Without beating around the bush, he told her the truth.

After hearing this, she asked, "Is it still for Third Uncle"

A calm voice, like a still sea surface. But he couldn't predict if underneath, it was turbulent waves.

"Yes," he replied with difficulty.

“There’s no room for turning back! Is that it I'm just going to skip out because of a physical ailment!”

"Yes," he replied, with growing difficulty.

"Do you know what this means for me! Do you know how others will see me"

He fell silent, for he could not answer.

He is sorry to her!

In the long silence, she smiled faintly.

"Well, it's for your great cause. I won't make things difficult for you. Take Li Lanqiu with you!"

"Good girl!" He was heartbroken and immediately hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged."

She simply pushed him away, hugging her knees with both hands, burying her small face deep into them. Her cascading black hair completely concealed her face.

She was injured.

He knew.

But, just like the ancient saying "loyalty and righteousness are hard to reconcile," she and her third uncle were also in a difficult situation. To ensure her third uncle came out unharmed, he could only make sacrifices for her at this time.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I made you sad. I will try my best to make this go away soon, baby, forgive me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He brushed a strand of her hair away from her face, pressed it against her ear, and mumbled an apology.

But she never responded. Until the very end, she lifted her head and pushed him away again.

"Go ahead and busy yourself. There's a lot to do tonight with the banquet and all. Go on, I'm fine, I'll take care of myself."

This only made him feel more sorry for her.

"Good boy!"

"Go ahead," she said, frowning. "I'm not feeling well, I need to lie down upstairs for a bit. You should go."

"I'll go with you!"

"No!" she pushed him, getting to her feet.

He reached for her, but she pulled her hand away.

"Rong Ling, being a fussy mother-in-law isn't your style. Go on, get your big project done quickly. I know what I'm doing and I have a good handle on things. If you insist on staying here, you're only wasting both our time."

She acted too rationally, so different from what he had imagined. He thought she would be wronged, complain, act coquettishly, get angry, and give him the cold shoulder, but he never expected her to understand him like this, and act so calmly.

This way, it was as if she held little weight in his heart. So he let Li Lan replace her, and she didn't seem to mind too much either. She was so understanding, saving him a lot of trouble. But strangely, instead of feeling relieved, he felt a strange sense of loss that suddenly surged into his chest.

Watching her leave, walking upstairs until she disappeared into the hallway, he could only turn his gaze away. His face turned cold as he walked out. Tonight, no matter what, he had to get results, report them to his superiors, and then tell her everything.

But not long after he left, Lin Meng went out. He thought she would be so obedient, how wrong he was! His own territory, how could he let another woman occupy it!

She went to find Xiao Yi.

"Will you do me a favor and accompany me to the Rong family's dinner tonight!"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise, then his eyes lit up, his face full of interest.

"I'm very happy to hear that. However, Xiaomeng, could Rongling's companion for tonight be Li Lanqiu"

Now Lin Meng raised an eyebrow.

"You know all of this!"

Xiao Yi immediately confessed to his attempt to threaten Rong Ling, and how he ended up being threatened by Rong Ling instead. He also expressed his innocence.

"I was going to find a suitable time to point that out to you. But since you already know, there's no need for me to say anything."

Lin Meng, hearing his words, became a little worried.

"Then will you take me tonight Will it cause you trouble"

"Nonsense. Sooner or later, Jiang Yichen will find out about me. Perhaps that old fox already knows I exist but has just chosen to keep quiet. Xiaomeng is going to face off against Li Lanqiu, and of course, I'll help with this."

Moreover, imagining him and Lin Meng in their finery captured by Rong Ling's eyes, he felt that the man would definitely be very captivating then. He was really eager to see it for himself.

Do you have an invitation from Rong's family

According to him, she felt that the possibility of Rong Ling inviting Xiao Yi was really zero.

Xiao Yi winked playfully at her. "There's nowhere in this world I can't go. Attending a mere party is child's play for me!"

Lin Meng thought of Xiao Yi's abilities, and she also felt that this was not a problem at all. So, she just followed suit and smiled.

Then Xiao Yi laughed for a while, then casually asked.

"Little Dream, what exactly are you thinking Tell me."

Lin Meng shook his head.

Xiao Yi also shook his head.

"You don't have to say it, I already know. Based on your temper, if Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu really did something, you would have kicked her out for sure!"

Back then, when she was still young and innocent, he'd kiss another woman and she'd immediately give him the cold shoulder, resorting to a cold war tactic. Now that she's so confident and independent, it's definitely not a case of getting worse with age.

"Rong Ling should have told you that he and Li Lanqiu are close because of some reasons. You're so devoted to this man, you probably believe everything he says. But sitting around waiting for things to happen isn't your style, is it You definitely want to find out the reason, don't you"

Lin Meng smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yi said again, "Or, I'll help you look into it."

"No." Lin Meng refused very firmly. "I'll wait for Rong Ling to tell me himself. If I went to check myself, it wouldn't be interesting at all."

What she saw was Rong Ling's affection for her. If he had her in his heart, he would certainly tell her everything as he promised.

“So confident You believe he hasn’t betrayed you, that everything he says is true!” Xiao Yi asked coldly, lowering his eyes slightly. His pitch-black eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath them, much like his heart – a mix of sourness, bitterness, unwillingness, and jealousy all tangled together in darkness.

Lin Meng smiled faintly. "If you choose the man yourself, you definitely have confidence."

He immediately felt a surge of intense jealousy, like cat claws scratching and clawing at his insides. He didn't want to hold it in, so he expressed it to her without reservation.

He, who has always been so lucky, could actually be struck by lightning! Marrying you is his blessing!

How many men, in their entire lives, could be so lucky to have a wife like this!

She just chuckled and wasn't angered by the venomous, curse-like words. After all, he was annoyed with her years ago. But for so many years, fighting and killing was just how she got by.

"I think he's very lucky, hehe..."

She agreed with considerable confidence.

This pretty little model, seeing Xiao Yi's heart itch, immediately said.

"If Rong Ling gets kicked out by you, then you have to be my wife!"

"What nonsense!" she exclaimed, grabbing the small tangerine placed before her and throwing it at him.

Xiao Yi smiled, casually took it, opened it, and ate it in one bite with a sweet taste.

Whether it's true or not, you'll know when the time comes. Just keep that in mind.

Lin Meng pulled down her face. "If you keep talking like that, I won't be happy."

He immediately confessed. “Okay, okay, I’ll stop talking.” But then he couldn’t help but say something else. “Actually, I really hope Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu are already together!”

She grabbed a handful of tangerines and threw them all at him.

"If you get angry with me again, I'll go find someone else!"

Saying that, he suddenly stood up.

He was quick to snatch the golden weapon while begging for forgiveness again.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to say anymore. Really, I won't."

In her heart, she thought cruelly, if you dare to find another man, I will cripple him when you turn around. It's fine to be subjected to humiliation because Rong Ling is not someone you want to mess with, and besides, she only has Rong Ling in her heart. But if she were to leave him and seek help from another man, he would absolutely not let her off!

Lin Meng looked at him for a while, as if assessing him. He innocently grinned at her, which finally calmed her anger and she sat back down.

He thought to himself, "My dear little sister-in-law," but he enjoyed teasing her like this.

"Li Lanqiu is not simple, you do things, be more careful." he cautioned her.

"I know," Lin Meng pursed her lips. "That's why I came to find you. Tonight, we can only win, not lose. Yi, can you do it"

He was even doubted!

Xiao Yi smiled wryly.

This little woman, she's getting worse and worse!

Can he still hold her back

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

He raised an eyebrow at her, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly, demonic energy surged!

This night is going to be amazing!

*

Lin Meng going to find Xiao Yi's matter, soon reached Rong Ling's ears. In this critical time, her whereabouts was the top priority he cared about. Thinking of how calm that woman had been before, and then going to find that annoying old fox Xiao Yi, his heart suddenly felt anxious. That sour vinegar, needless to say, it was gushing out.

Originally, letting that man save Lin Meng's life was a huge mistake!

Rong Ling was furious inside, wishing she could go back and grab that woman right now. But when he thought about what he was doing now, he felt ashamed! He had already wronged her so much, what reason did he have to stop her from seeing other men! What he was doing now was far worse than what she had done!

He was fuming, but he could only keep it all bottled up inside, torturing himself back and forth. He thought to himself, "I'll just hold it in until tonight, when the two little ones finish their martial arts training with Old Master Yan. No matter what, I have to get both of them to take their mommy home!"

Only thinking like this, his heart could feel a little better.

But, thinking of that little woman's calmness at the time, he still felt hurt!

This internal injury persisted until the dinner.

Upon his return, Rong Ling's demeanor remained unchanged. He hadn't become even slightly more approachable after marrying a wealthy wife. Despite being closer to the common folk now, this man's powerful aura and cold temperament were still enough to intimidate those without confidence, causing them to quickly detour to avoid him.

---Aside---

I highly recommend my friend A L's novel "The New Wife of the Middle School," book number 383147.

This is a highly entertaining and popular romance novel, currently being serialized. Don't miss it! ^_^

Introduction:

At their third meeting, Chu Lingchuan, in his usual calm and collected manner, told the two elders sitting in the living room, "Uncle and Aunt, I want to marry Susu."

An Ruosu was stunned, petrified in his arms, forgetting even to resist. An Ruosu's parents also seemed dumbfounded, staring blankly at Chu Lingchuan before them.

"Who said you're getting married to me!" An Ruosu exclaimed angrily.

"Have to marry, even if I don't want to!"

"Why"

"I have filed a marriage report."
