r lip, vaguely feeling that Rong Ling seemed unhappy, but she didn't quite understand where he was upset. She could only honestly explain. "I was going back, then... I ran into him!"She pointed at Fen...That big cousin finally started to panic.
"You--you can't, that's your son, it's your son!"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, his eyes bloodshot with rage, starting to show signs of madness!
"Do you think I lack sons! Where have I fallen short that you think I can only have your sister's son! If I wanted a son, couldn't I find a woman to give birth to one for me! What kind of woman is your sister anyway!"
>Big Cousin froze, his heart began to turn cold, but he still shouted desperately.
"Your father said, Yiyin gave birth to a son, that makes her the daughter-in-law of the Rong family! It was the old man who said it, he said it—"
At this point, the big brother was somewhat deranged, almost manic.
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s what your father said. What he says won’t change. Yiyin will give birth to children, marry you, and become the mistress of the house. You have to marry her, your father promised, it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong…”
Unless Grand Master Rong Fei had personally made a promise to Zhuo Yiyi, how could this cousin be so reckless Because the huge temptation of marrying into the Rong family was right in front of him, he went crazy planning for Zhuo Yiyi. He knew that Lin Meng's son would inevitably be an obstacle, and he also vaguely knew that Rong Ling disliked Zhuo Yiyi getting pregnant without permission. After all, no man likes to be tricked by a woman. But this cousin thought that this dislike was just a matter of time. Once some time passed and Rong Ling's mood calmed down, he would naturally accept the child. Since Old Master Rong and the Rong family valued Zhuo Yiyi and the child in her womb so much, it also showed from the side that Rong Ling wasn't heartless towards Zhuo Yiyi or the child. But he didn't know that Rong Fei had surrounded the luxurious ward with three layers of security to prevent Rong Ling from getting rid of the child! It was also because Rong Ling had sent people to deal with the child in Zhuo Yiyi's womb before, but they were stopped by Rong Fei's men. If it weren't for Rong Fei's intervention, at most, the child would have been just a small clump of flesh and should have fallen out long ago!
He's gone mad with power and fame. Climbing to the position of deputy director has only whetted his appetite for more. He wants to climb even higher. If Zhuo Yiy could successfully marry into the Rong family, then he could easily become a provincial governor afterwards.
His ideal was too beautiful, so he truly went all out. But it was just a child, if it's gone, it's gone. He thought that once Zhu Yiy's child was born, what would that dead child amount to!
He was wrong in that he didn't understand the complexity of a large family like the Rong family. He failed to realize that he himself was merely a pawn in Rong Fei's hands.
He didn't understand, Rong Ling just pointed it out to him.
To torment a person, physically torturing him is still too easy; the higher realm of tormenting people is to torture them mentally.
"What do you think you are to my father! You've held some power for a while now, don't you even have the awareness of being a pawn! Your sister is so ordinary, do you think my father from a prestigious family would even look at her!"
Big Cousin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Foolish! My father is only using you and your sister. He's using you to deal with my current wife and son, aiming to make me childless. Don't you understand! Once I handle things here, your sister's baby in her belly will naturally be taken care of too. But by then, she'll have a big belly, and once it's dealt with, there will inevitably be two deaths!"
"You... you're lying!" My older cousin yelled sharply, his mouth making a terrifying grinding sound. He shook his head frantically, but the expression on his face betrayed him; he had already been swayed by Rong Ling's words.
"You said, you're a good Deputy Director, why not just stay in that position and avoid all this trouble. You acted like an idiot, letting yourself be used by others, do you find that enjoyable!"
Mockingly, Rong Ling turned and strode away.
Believing these words should be enough to utterly destroy this arrogant man!
Big Brother was going crazy, he was coming back to himself. He was terrified, he was afraid, so he scrambled up from the ground like a dying man and lunged at Rong Ling. Only his speed of attacking was not as fast as Rong Ling's walking speed.
"President Rong, President Rong, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, please spare me…"
Uncle wasn't a fool; recognizing the reality, he quickly changed his address for Rong Ling. But, what was done was done, what was wrong was wrong, everything was irreversible.
“Mr. Rong, please give me a chance. You can ask me to do anything, and I will definitely go through fire and water, even if it means dying ten thousand times… For the sake of Young Master Rong being alright, please just spare me. From now on, I will be your servant, doing anything you ask.”
It's too late!
Words of humility cannot enter the ears of someone who is arrogant! What use would he have for such a person With a wave of his hand, he has thousands upon thousands of people far more capable than him at his disposal. For those who dare to offend him, he shows absolutely no mercy.
The door slammed shut mercilessly, leaving the eldest cousin alone in the vast empty room.
He watched Rong Ling leave decisively, watching the door that had cut off all vitality. His nerves jolted painfully, his body leaping up as if stabbed by a knife, like a final outburst. But in an instant, he collapsed onto the ground like a sack of potatoes. He began to twitch and let out sharp screams, behaving erratically, a sight that was quite horrifying!
It's done!
It's done!
It's all over!
Perhaps, when Zhuo Yiyi didn't follow his arrangement and told Rong Ling about her pregnancy in advance, his defeat was already predetermined. Only he still held out hope, always feeling that he still had some status, always feeling that this matter would surely succeed in the end. But now he realized that all his schemes, all his self-proclaimed intelligence, all his arrogance of power were nothing but illusions within his own small patch of land. Compared to those aristocratic families from the Rong family, he was as naive as a newborn babe, only destined to be played with!
Piece!
In the end, he and the girl he had high hopes for turned out to be just pawns in a father-son conflict!
How laughable!
How ridiculous!
"Ah--"
Roars began to fill the room, one after another!
Well, what use is that!
The ending was sealed the moment his wicked and greedy hands reached out!
After Rong Ling went back to the hospital, Lin Meng told him to take over her shift and accompany Xiao Youyou. She then went back to the Ruan family for a while to help pack up the little one's clothes and make a late-night snack for him.
Rong Ling watched Lin Meng straighten his back and walk out of the ward step by step, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes!
This woman is too calm, this is abnormal and unlike her. After learning about the mastermind behind it all, she shouldn't be this calm, she shouldn't act like this!
Indeed, Lin Meng was far from calm. Her calmness was merely an act! Her heart was filled with anger, wishing she could tear that woman apart. Zhuo Yiy is truly vicious. She's pregnant now, carrying a child in her own womb, yet she could be so cruel to a child. How can this be tolerated!
If she doesn't personally go to Zhu Yiy to collect this debt, she's not a real mother to Youyou!
She said she wanted to go back to her family's home, but that was just an excuse. In reality, she wanted to find Zhu Yiy. That despicable man Rong Ling, what kind of woman did he choose He has no vision at all! She had thought about going with Rong Ling too, but now that she saw him, she felt annoyed. Besides, who knows if that man's lower body is stronger than his upper body, and if he would even stop her from finding Zhu Yiy. Although that man kept saying to give him some time and that he would resolve things, until now, there was no news at all. Who knows what he's really thinking!
In short, Lin Meng was filled with hatred and anger. As a result, she even came to hate Rong Ling as well.
She hailed a car and arrived at the hospital where Zhu Yiy was currently staying. But as she neared the entrance to the inpatient department, she came to an abrupt halt. From the familiar sports car stepped out the man she knew! He leaned against the car door, wearing large sunglasses and with a faint smile playing on his lips, looking at her ambiguously.
As if he had seen through everything about her!
She suddenly felt extremely awkward, finding the man's shrewdness at this moment almost like a mocking taunt!
She took two steps forward and asked him, her voice laced with annoyance. "What are you doing here!"
Could it be that this man has been stalking her! And he's always been on guard for her, rushing over as soon as she appeared here!
Her heart suddenly felt a pang of bitterness. Anger flared higher and higher within her!
Rong Ling looked through his glasses at the woman holding a bottle of rice wine in her hand. He couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of relief at the same time. This was normal!
How intelligent he was. With just a little thought, he realized that this woman was likely to explode soon, so he immediately drove here. Though Lin Meng left earlier than him, she went out of her way to buy a bottle of liquor, which delayed her a bit. In the end, Rong Ling arrived before her as expected. As predicted, this woman who said she wanted to go home, came straight towards them.
This little violent girl!
He shook his head, reaching out to gently squeeze her shoulder, rebuking her softly.
"Idiot, you're the only single one here. Do you really think you can get close to Zhuo Yiy Those bodyguards at her doorstep aren't just there for show!"
Lin Meng pursed her lips. Though she felt Rong Ling was right, she still felt indignant. She resentfully thought that this man was here to stop her.
"Not happy!" He could tell just by looking at her little face what she was thinking!
"Let's go, I'll accompany you inside!"
"Ah!" she exclaimed in surprise, clearly telling this man that she had distorted his kindness from the beginning!
"Stupid!" he hissed, grabbing her arm.
"In a while, you can do whatever you want, but don't provoke anyone to the point of death. Zhu Yiy is still carrying that little one in her belly, and I'll take care of it! Even if you're angry, don't be stupid enough to lose yourself over this. It's not worth it for a woman like that. You and Youyou will have to go out and see people later!"
Now Lin Meng understood why Rong Ling had come. Was this man here to protect her, or to stop her from doing foolish things!
Her heart warmed, her eyebrows slightly relaxed, and her voice softened.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!"
He listened, a slight smile playing on his lips.
No matter how clumsy she is, he doesn't mind, and she can still manage things. It just means he has an extra step of cleaning up after her afterward!
As Rong Ling said, Zhu Yiyi's luxurious ward had dedicated guards stationed outside. Ordinary people couldn't get in at all. If Lin Meng had come alone before, she would have had to go back alone too. These humanoid machines were programmed to "obey orders above all else," and they didn't care who was coming!
But with tolerance, things are different!
He was the current head of the Rong family, and even the bodyguards hired by Rong Feiwu had to respect him. Secondly, he was the father of the child in that woman's belly, giving him a legitimate reason to be there. However, the bodyguards remained on high alert, standing guard on either side of Zhuo Yiy's bed, their palms resting on their waists. There, concealed beneath their belts, were pistols! Should anything unusual occur, they were ready to draw their weapons.
Zuo Yiyee looked at Rong Ling, with no joy whatsoever!
At first, she didn't heed her cousin's advice and rashly revealed that she had a child. Although she ultimately received the protection of Grandpa Rong as she wished, she lost Rong Ling's heart.
This woman is a bit clever. The unusual activity in the middle of the night a while back made her suspicious. Subsequently, the bodyguards protecting her gradually increased, indicating that someone was targeting her. She's just a pawn; she was fine before, but now suddenly someone is after her. It's simply because there's something valuable hidden within her. Moreover, Rong Ling hasn't visited her these days, making her uneasy.
"If you're smart, you'll get rid of the child yourself and save yourself from suffering in the end! I will never recognize this child!"
This was the call she made to Rong Ling when she couldn't bear it anymore, Rong Ling's reply. Just that one sentence, and then the call ended. After that, she could never contact Rong Ling again. She was like a bird, trapped, locked in this exquisite cage. Even when she tried to suggest going outside for a walk to clear her head, the bodyguard refused. This luxurious ward might be beautiful, but staying here for too long would make anyone feel suffocated.
These days, it's like being imprisoned!
She knew she had made a mistake. She should have learned from Lin Meng and given birth to the child formally first, but it was too late to say anything now. She loved Rong Ling; there was no doubt about that. Even though she hadn't seen clearly, this man wasn't someone she could truly love. This man, at his core, was cold and ruthless. He had been cold and ruthless towards Lin Meng, so how much affection could he possibly have for Zhuo Yiyi, the replacement
Zhuo Yiy resisted stubbornly. She found herself in this predicament and could only strive to plan, hoping to reverse the situation. She believed that her child was the biggest bargaining chip. Lin Meng recaptured Rong Ling's attention, she thought, it was because of the existence of their little family!
But she still didn't know, Rong Ling loved the little guy because he had Lin Meng in his heart. This man who was essentially cold-blooded could even think rationally, wanting Lin Meng to have another child. That way, just in case something happened to the little guy, Lin Meng wouldn't abandon him, because there would be another child to tie her down!
Could such a man be the one she loves!
She foolishly blamed everything on the young boy, naively thinking that with him gone, Rong Ling's heart would naturally turn to her unborn child in her womb, and thus he would be good to her. Therefore, she, along with her cousin, plotted this murder! What should have been a flawless plan had a leak. The moment she heard the news, she felt as if struck by lightning. Lin Meng and that child were simply too lucky! And then she lost contact with her cousin!
At that moment, she sensitively sensed something!
Over and over again, she tried to contact her cousin, but to no avail. Afterward, she even made the best of the worst plans! She wasn't afraid because she had her unborn child as her support, because she had the protection of her grandfather.
That's Rong Ling's father. Even if Rong Ling dislikes everything she does, she can't possibly turn against her own father!
So, seeing Rong Ling and Lin Meng appear together, although she was filled with hatred and anger in her heart, psychologically, she still had some arrogance. Even, she could unceremoniously order Lin Meng to leave.
"What are you doing here! I don't want to see you, get out!"
Zoe Yi appeared in the media, portraying herself as a weak and helpless victim, crying about Lin Meng's abuse towards her, claiming it nearly caused her to lose her son. The media, seeing how Old Master Lin was protecting Zoe Yi, speculated that she was about to enter into a wealthy family. As such, they showered Zoe Yi with attention and coverage, overlooking the lack of investigation into the matter and sensationalized the story!
When the media relentlessly pointed their guns at Lin Meng, portraying her as a wicked woman with malicious intentions, Zhuo Yiyin believed she was superior to Lin Meng and that Lin Meng had no way to compete with her.
That's why she can be so rude!
But how could she know that Lin Meng didn't fight because of her tolerance!
She fights now, because -- she's strong for her mother!
“Zhuo Yiy!” Lin Meng called Zhuo Yiy’s name in a cold and harsh tone, her eyes glaring fiercely at her. “You did such a disgusting thing before, and I was unwilling to hold it against you because you were pregnant. I myself have been pregnant and know how difficult it is, so I really didn't want to make things hard for you. But who knew, some people are truly shameless. Therefore, Zhuo Yiy—”
Lin Meng suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Based on your slander against me, I will put my vow into practice. I will sue you in court. Even though you are pregnant now, you still have to cooperate with the legal investigation and stand trial with me! You're shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhuoyi's face immediately turned pale, but then she thought of Elder Rong, and quickly calmed down. With Elder Rong's influence, this minor lawsuit should be easily dismissed, right Lin Meng didn't have the ability to make her testify, did she
Thinking of this, she felt much calmer. So she smiled and spoke in a gentle voice. "Lin Meng, I think it's best to forget about this. You know, if this gets out of hand, I won't mind, but you will. You love your son so much, don't you want him to be talked about"
This tone sounded as if Lin Meng was turning the tables and slandering her, as if in a court of law, Lin Meng would undoubtedly lose.
Lin Mengqi was furious, her eyes blazing with anger!
This woman is truly shameless!
She took a few hurried steps forward, Rong Ling silently followed, standing beside her.
Zhuo Yiyi was looking, her heart madly going crazy. She immediately didn't want to be outdone and wanted to attract Rong Ling's attention. She softly called him, "Rong Ling, the doctor said our son is growing very well. You..."
"Crunch!"
A sharp sound of shattering glass rang out, and the brown rice wine sprayed outwards like a poisonous miasma. Zhu Yiy, startled, screamed in alarm.
"What do you want to do -- "
"Don't move!" A bodyguard immediately drew his gun and pointed it at Lin Meng.
"Don't move!" another cold shout, but it was Rong Ling!
"Drop your weapon!"
The bodyguards remained stoic, their faces tense and their guns firmly gripped.
Rong Ling raised his hand and slowly took off his sunglasses. His cold and sharp eyes swept over the several bodyguards with an imposing air. That fierce gaze pierced straight into their hearts, making them tremble with fear.
"I don't like it, you pointing guns at my woman. I said --"
He hesitated for a moment, his face contorted with a sinister expression, and roared, "Drop your weapon!"
The bodyguards hesitated, their hands still gripping their guns, but beads of sweat dotted their foreheads.
Rong Ling raised his hand and slammed down with a fist. The force of that punch actually managed to dent the steel bedrail into a large bulge.
Drop your weapon, I don't want to repeat myself!
A cold gasp echoed like thunder once more. The guards glanced at the shattered steel plate, then at Rong Ling's murderous expression, beads of cold sweat rolling down their cheeks. They slowly lowered their hands, and their guns followed suit.
Zhuo Yiyi, upon seeing this, turned pale with fright and huddled into a ball, desperately pulling the blanket around her to cover herself.
"No, you can't, it's not allowed..."
She mumbled incoherently, shaking her head frantically, unable to form coherent words. Her eyes were fixed on the glass bottle held in Lin Meng's hand, and she was so scared that her lips began to turn purple. The bottle, which had been filled with rice wine, shattered when Lin Meng smashed it against the metal plate at the foot of the bed. Only a ring of jagged, sharp glass shards remained protruding from the broken bottom, like tiny daggers, menacingly pointed at Zhu Yiy. Zhu Yi couldn't imagine what would happen if those shards pierced her body!
"Rong Ling, Rong Ling..." she began to cry out, "Save me, save me..."
That man was cruel and ruthless, unmoved by anything.
Lin Meng raised her hand, wielding a menacing glass bottle like a witch, and then she pursed her scarlet lips.
"So, you're afraid too!"
Zhuo Yiy gradually shrunk herself into a ball.
Lin Meng looked at Zhu Yiy, her silver teeth almost grinding to dust. "You bully me, I can bear it for a while. But there's an old saying in this world that is truly right, being merciful to your enemies is cruel to yourself. I didn't expect my concession to make you set your sights on my son! You're a woman too, and you have one in your belly now, how can you be so heartless!"
“I… I don’t, I… I don’t know anything…”
"Lin Mengli roared, "Zoe!," his voice thick with disappointment. Even at this point, she was still making excuses, not a shred of shame in her heart!
She raised her hand, the deadly bottle of sake seemed to be thrown at her. This scared Zhu Yiyi so much that she suddenly covered her face with her hands, and let out a terrifying scream!
When things are at their most critical, it's when a person's true character shines through. Faced with danger, the first thing she protected was her face, not -- her stomach!
The bottle of cooking wine wasn't thrown at her, but forcefully stabbed into the bed. Lin Meng used a lot of force, so the bottle went in deep. The terrifying sound of the bedding being ripped open was clearly audible. It was evident that if this bottle and this amount of force were directed at a person, it would be incredibly lethal!
"Ah—" Zhuo Yiy only screamed, disregarding everything else.
That sound was too harsh!
So she's just a bully who fears the strong. So, when faced with a threat, she's nothing more than cowardly and fearful.
Lin Meng smiled coldly, and with a flick of her wrist, she loosened the bottle cap.
The bottle of rice wine, stabbed very deep, stood straight and tall on the bed.
"Zoe Yi, we'll see each other in court! You dare to touch my child, I will absolutely make you pay!"
For the motherland, I am strong!
For her children, she didn't mind becoming cold-blooded and cruel!
With a grim expression and a menacing air, she turned and walked away, ignoring the woman who was still screaming behind her.
As he was about to leave the door, the howling from behind abruptly stopped, replaced by a deafening roar.
"Lin Meng, what are you so proud of! How long can you be smug without Rong Ling's love! The wheel of fortune turns, I will always surpass you. Rong Ling loves me, he calls my nickname in bed, he calls me Xiaoguai! Even when he's drunk, he says my name! Does he do the same to you Does he call your name passionately When he's drunk, can he call out your name instead of another woman's"
Zuo Yiyi was unwilling to give up, so she felt humiliated and angry. She still wanted to get back at Lin Meng!
But she'll know soon enough just how wrong she is!
Lin Meng took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhuo Yiy, and softly murmured, "Little sweetheart is it!"
Zoe Yi smiled triumphantly, looking at Lin Meng as if cursing. "A man like Rong Ling, it's impossible for just one woman to keep him! Lin Meng, don't get too cocky!"
Lin Meng suddenly giggled, her cold face as if suddenly brushed by the spring wind, blossoming with peach blossoms, dazzlingly bright.
You know, what does he call me usually! You know, what did he call me before you showed up!
Her lips curled into a suggestive smile, her eyes and the corners of her mouth radiating an intoxicating allure. It was a captivating kind of beauty that sent shivers down your spine while simultaneously making you feel strangely ashamed.
Zoe shook her head, desperately shaking her head. She didn't want to hear the answer, she didn't, she didn't, because she had a very bad feeling.
But she was the one who provoked Lin Meng first!
"Did you think the same thing, hehe…" Lin Meng said softly, her cheeks flushed with a rosy glow, just like a little woman deeply in love. "He calls me 'little sweetheart'!"
A sweet and cloying voice, yet it instantly paled Zhuo Yiy's face, causing her to start shaking her head nervously.
"I think..." Lin Meng lazily smiled, mockingly. "You should only be my stand-in!"
After saying that, Lin Meng walked out of the ward with a smile as light as a silver bell.
The last nonchalant words, though faint, held the most deadly force, like a sharp knife that pierced Zhuo Yiy's chest instantly!
Zhuo Yiyi covered her chest and gasped for breath with difficulty.
To be someone else's stand-in is the greatest insult a woman could receive. No woman could bear it. It essentially obliterates all of her own actions!
Even the value of existence is gone!
This is so sad, so sad!
Zhuo Yiyin roared, shaking her head, mumbling to herself, still unwilling to believe. "No, no, she's lying to me, she is deceiving me, she wants to defeat me, she's lying, lying to me…"
Her stomach suddenly ached, and Zoe's face twisted slightly as she started clutching her abdomen, letting out a scream.
"Doctor, get a doctor quickly, my stomach hurts, it hurts so much..."
As long as there are children, she thinks she can still be victorious!
As a child, she must protect the child. That is her hope now and in the future!
The luxurious ward started to get chaotic.
Lin Meng'er listened to the commotion outside, stifled the forced smile she had been wearing, and her captivating face turned cold again. A sneer curled at her lips.
Look, it's not that she isn't capable, but she just doesn't want to.
If she wanted to, she could certainly destroy everything she wanted to destroy!
Beside her, the man who had put his sunglasses back on was stalking close by!
She turned to look at him, and the man stopped.
She grinned and chuckled silently at the man.
The man followed with a curl of his lips, as if in silent approval.
And she, suddenly raising her foot, charged at the man and kicked him hard, hard!
You deserve this kick, Rong Ling!ome people down to investigate, ultimately targeting Liang Su. Liang Su must have cooperated willingly. He probably fears repercussions or even for his life, so he recently checked himself into the M...
