Help me

, are you!" he teased with a smirk that was almost too much to bear. Lin Mengxiang tore that smile right off his face!She inwardly groaned with shame, Lin Meng reached out and covered her blushing fac...Today, for some reason, she didn't resist strongly at all. Instead, she seemed to have fallen for his affectionate gestures. In the end, she let him have his way in a daze. Although he hadn't taken possession of her, just used his hands, the sensation left on her skin made her blush with embarrassment. She almost shoved him away in a mixture of shame and anger, rushing into the bathroom and throwing out that sentence:

"Wipe it yourself!"

Oh, what's going on!

After washing her hands, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were misty with a hazy allure. She could feel the blush of springtime within her. Unable to help herself, she reached up to cup her face, feeling the unmistakable warmth. Then, blushing even deeper, she lowered her face away.

Perhaps it was the red wine that caused all this trouble!

She suddenly thought of it!

She could only blame it all on the wine, this intoxicating mess of emotions. Otherwise, she didn't know how she could possibly face him after tonight.

After all that commotion, she was sweating. Since she couldn't pretend nothing happened, a shower would be perfect. She could cool off and take a moment to think things over.

It probably took her about ten minutes. She emerged from the bathroom, wrapped only in a pale white bathrobe, her damp hair haphazardly covered with a dry towel. Having decided to take a shower on a whim, she hadn't even brought any clean clothes with her. So as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she hurried towards the changing room.

His gaze was fixed on her, hotter than before. This was pure as a lotus flower emerging from water. The little woman had just taken a bath, her skin was even more fair and rosy, with an alluring pink glow. Especially since she was only wrapped in a large towel, revealing her smooth shoulders and sexy, smooth legs, wasn't this tempting to commit a crime!

"Come here, little one!"

Even though he knew she wouldn't come, he couldn't help but speak.

She surely came from afar, her voice carrying a "Wait! Just a moment!"

Then he ran even faster, like a rabbit, darting into the changing room. When she finally disappeared inside, he shook his head with a hint of regret. But tonight he had gotten his way once. He knew there was no chance of coming back again. That little woman's temper, he knew it well!

Turning back, Lin Meng came out in a floral nightgown that was utterly devoid of any sexiness. Rong Ling shook his head again. Look, this woman is already on guard!

She walked over and skillfully retrieved the medicine, cotton swabs, and sat down before him again, gently tending to his wound. He untied the towel wrapped around her hair and wiped it for her.

The two people's cooperation is natural and harmonious.

By the time she had applied medicine to all of her wounds, her damp hair was almost half dry.

She then went back to the bathroom and brought out a basin of hot water, placing it on the floor beside the bed. This was for him to soak his feet. He had fallen into the sea and stayed on that island for so long, his body must have absorbed a lot of dampness. Soaking his feet in hot water would help remove some of it. Then, she handed him another new, dry towel and sat between his spread legs, putting her feet into the basin as well. This had become a habit. When he soaked his feet, he would definitely pull her in with him. His strong arms would wrap around her waist, his firm jaw pressed against her shoulder. After using the dry towel to wipe her hair again, he did it again.

Whenever this happened, her thoughts were scattered, flitting here and there without focus, and then they drifted to Du Caiyi.

Is that the end of Du Caiyi's story

“No.” He replied calmly, his chin rubbing against her soft shoulder in a large dog-like manner of laziness. “She’s not the type to be easily scared. Today’s incident will only keep her subdued for a few months at most, she needs something more substantial!”

What are you going to do then

"She has to be careful, starting with Xiang. She only has this one daughter left, and she can't just ignore her. With Rong Xiang watching her, she'll be much more compliant."

"Oh."

But that's not all, we still need a permanent solution!

She laughed. “How complicated it looks, one level after another!”

"Dealing with someone of her caliber, who isn't exactly lacking in intelligence, requires a bit more finesse!"

What are you going to do then

Rong Ling whispered something in her ear.

Lin Meng finished listening and nodded slightly. Anyone targeted by her own man would have a tough time. She wouldn't feel sympathy for Du Caiyi, let alone go out of her way to help her. Du Caiyi should just be careful and avoid any such thoughts. Otherwise, she deserved whatever happened to her!

The next day, Rong Qi Xiang went to see Du Cai Yi with a very unpleasant face. Instead of asking about Du Cai Yi's mother's condition, she spoke angrily and demanded...

"Mom, from now on, just don't have anything to do with that Rong Ling family anymore!"

Du Caiyi raised her eyes to look at Rong Qixiang, with a hint of gloom in her eyes.

Rong Qixian said harshly, "Ah Jian was called for a talk by his superiors this morning. He was reported, but the report was suppressed. His superiors asked him if he had offended anyone recently and reminded him to be careful and not do anything that would damage his image. Mom, the report about Ah Jian's corruption, needless to say, must have been filed by Rong Ling. This happened too coincidentally. You mentioned earlier that Rong Ling had some information on Ah Jian, and I... I actually forgot all about it. Rong Ling is really ruthless. Ah Jian is still his brother-in-law, and he actually had someone report him. If this doesn't work out, I'm afraid he'll have another time. Rong Ling has many tricks up his sleeve. Mom, please don't continue to clash with him. He will definitely take it out on me later and retaliate against me!"

In this statement, Rong Qixiang openly expresses complaints and blames.

Du Caoyi felt a chill in her heart, and her face immediately fell.

"Are you still blaming Mom!" The anesthetic had worn off long ago. Du Caixin could speak, but to ensure her injuries healed quickly, she should speak less. So, her questions were short.

Rong Qi Xiang sat down heavily beside Du Cai Yi, laughing awkwardly.

"Mom, where could it be"

Du Caiyi's face remained gloomy. No wonder she came straight to say such things to her. The resentment, both overt and implied, was all directed at her!

Okay, who would blame this for being her own daughter, her only remaining child. Du Caiyi wouldn't be upset even if she could speak up and scold her daughter, so she stiffly said.

"I know, I won't mess with Rong Ling and the others!"

When Rong Qi Xiang heard this, she felt much more at ease. She quickly changed her expression, putting on a sweet and endearing demeanor as she fawned over Du Cai Yi.

"Mom, you're the best to me, thank you, Mom!"

Saying that, he affectionately kissed Du Caiyi.

Du Caiyi's expression remained unchanged, because there was a lump of anger in her heart. She was a patient who had just undergone surgery, and her daughter had gone home last night but hadn't returned, not even a phone call. Now that she was here, she didn't ask about her well-being at all. Her daughter's behavior hurt her, so it was difficult for her to give a good face.

It seemed that Du Caiyi's thoughts were detected by Rong Qixiang, and finally, Rong Qixiang asked Du Caiyi with concern. Du Caiyi's face eased slightly, and she was somewhat satisfied, but the daughter's next words almost made her angry.

"Mom, I want you to come with me--" She carefully looked at Du Caiyi, tentatively saying, "to apologize together... to... to Rong Ling's family!"

Du Caiyi "snapped" and opened her hand from Rong Qi Xiang's grip. Her eyes flashed with anger.

Rong Qi Xiang immediately looked pitiful, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Mom, I know you don't want to, you'll definitely be angry, but think about it, Rong Ling has those important things in his hands, what should Jian, me, and our children do Those things are like time bombs. This time, the letter of accusation was intercepted again. Next time, if he uploads all those things online or directly gives them to a big shot, what will Jian do Our small family won't be ruined then, right Mom, if something like that happens, how can I live Mom, please help me, help your only daughter. The most urgent thing is to remove the thorn in Rong Ling's heart towards us and prevent him from taking action. Mom, we are all members of the Rong family. Let's apologize, beg him, and let him forgive us. He should agree. I know you dislike him, so after this is resolved, we can just avoid him like a plague, never interacting again, okay"

"No way!" Du Caiyi flatly refused. There was no way she would apologize. Her daughter, she knew her every thought! The daughter said she wanted to go with her to apologize, but in reality, it meant Du Caiyi going to apologize. Rong Ling's wound came from what she did yesterday, didn't it Apologizing was all because of last night!

Regardless of whether the son-in-law instigated this, the daughter really said such things, which is truly disappointing!

She went to apologize, the humiliation was secondary. Because of yesterday's incident, her first priority was to apologize to Zhu Xiaodan. But how could her daughter not think about it properly If she apologized to Zhu Xiaodan, what face would she have in the future when facing others! At that time, Du Caiyi could only be a tail-between-her-legs person!

“Mom―” Rong Qixian continued to plead. “Please think about me, your daughter, and my family’s well-being, alright”

Du Caiyi still stubbornly refused, no matter how much the container tried to persuade her. Eventually, Rong Qixian became a little anxious.

"Mom, I'm your only daughter! How can you be so heartless and just stand there watching me die"

“Rong Ling wouldn’t really report her!” Du Caiyi said coldly. With Rong Ling’s methods, if she truly wanted to teach her a lesson, she would have directly dealt with Cao Shijian, instead of sending a complaint letter that was essentially useless and would be suppressed as soon as it was submitted!

"Rong Ling is just a warning, you don't have to take it too seriously!"

"How could you not be serious!" Rong Qixiang was exasperated, remembering her husband's scolding after she returned home last night. Each word felt like a lash, driving her to shrink into a corner.rself time and again, stay calm, stay calm, absolutely no panic. She absolutely could not die here, absolutely not! And her driver at this time also played a big role, directing her, telling her which...
