s and women smitten. His companion, also a familiar figure in the industry, was a renowned socialite from a prominent family!Hello, Ya!The jewel in the palm of He's new generation, a princess highly a..."Don't you dare rip my clothes again! You could donate the money to the disaster areas instead!"
Lin Meng glared at Rong Ling, seeing his calm expression, she couldn't help but walk over and punished him by biting lightly on his lips.
Rong Ling raised the corners of her mouth. How could she tell her that this was sensual!
"Have you heard Stop ripping my clothes! Especially like yesterday, absolutely not! They were so expensive and just gone in an instant!" She looked quite ferocious.
"What kind of clothes are those! Mommy, did your godfather tear your clothes"
The little guy appeared out of nowhere, suddenly popping his small head out from behind the sofa. Lin Meng was startled and, though she had wanted to say something, immediately clamped her mouth shut. Her face flushed red.
"Mommy!" the little guy questioned, very curious! The little guy has a good habit, that is, when he doesn't understand, he is willing to speak up and ask.
Lin Meng mumbled, and glared at Rong Ling again. She thought to herself that this man must be doing it on purpose. His hearing was so good, yet he didn't even give a heads-up when Youyou came closer. He must have intentionally let Youyou see her joke, or perhaps, he wanted her to just shut up about it.
Pursing her lips, she lowered her head and continued to thread the needle, mending Rong Ling's shirt that had lost a button.
The little boy crawled over from behind the sofa, his small head following close behind. He looked at the clothes in Lin Meng's hands with some confusion. "Mommy, didn't Uncle Dad's clothes get torn!"
The little one woke up surrounded by his mom and dad. Dad was on the left, and mom was on the right. All morning long, the little one had a smile plastered on his face. Little did he know, his mom had been tossed around all night by Dad, and that brand new peach-colored pajamas were practically ruined!
Such things are hard to explain to a child. Lin Meng could only helplessly explain that Rong Ling tore apart the shirt she had worn last night. She couldn't tell the little one you heard wrong and try to cover it up, because the little one was very smart. He had his own worldview, although small, certain aspects were clear enough. If she tried to deceive the child like that, she would only make him feel wronged and hurt.
"Why would Daddy tear Mommy's clothes!" the little one continued to ask, persistent. His dark eyes were like a pool of water, lying there quietly, radiating purity and innocence.
Lin Meng took the scissors and gently cut the thread. She glared at Rong Ling with a warning look before picking up the next button that needed sewing.
"Then you should ask your godfather!" You can't expect her to explain everything, can you He did the bad things, he has to take some responsibility, right Besides, she's still in pain!
The little guy went straight to Rong Ling and asked him. Lin Meng was afraid that Rong Ling would say something outrageous, so he hurriedly warned him.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Rong Ling suddenly chuckled, a hint of mischief flickering in his cold eyes.
"Rest assured, I will definitely tell the truth!"
Lin Meng was anxious and pushed him. This man had been following her, facing the dry bar. He clearly knew what she meant, but he still didn't know how to keep it a secret! That kind of thing, could you tell a child about it!
"Oh, you're getting worked up!" He reached out and playfully tousled Lin Meng's hair, messing it up until it was a complete mess.
When Lin Meng shook his head to dodge, he naturally continued, "It's just that I used a bit too much force and accidentally tore the clothes. How did it become ripped!"
Lin Meng gasped in astonishment.
This man, he really doesn't even bother to make up a good lie! His relaxed and composed attitude is truly something she envies.
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow at Xiao Jia, and said: "Do you want to have a arm-wrestling match with your godfather and taste your godfather's strength!"
The little guy squinted and grinned, shouting: "Good! But—"
The little guy slyly said, "But Uncle is much older than Youyou. Youyou will definitely lose to Uncle, so Uncle can't use all his strength!"
The two fathers and son immediately discussed how much effort they should put into the contest. After that, they went off to practice. When Lin Meng finished sewing on the buttons, it was time to get the little ones ready for school.
Rong Ling picked up the shirt that had already been sewn. Glancing at the stitches, which were so fine they could rival those of a professional tailor, a smile flickered in his eyes.
This is his woman!
He leaned in and kissed her forehead.
She couldn't understand why he kissed her again, and just as she was about to question him, her attention was drawn back to the little boy. She watched as he put on his clothes and helped him straighten up a bit.
When they went out, the morning sun shone on the two mother and child, one tall and one short, casting a warm golden light. He followed behind, squinting at them, his heart filled with a different kind of tenderness!
After the three parted ways, Lin Meng went straight to Guangda. After dealing with the backlog of work in the company, it was already past mealtime. She returned to the Ruan family famished, already close to 2 p.m. Unexpectedly, there were guests at home. But it was a guest she didn't particularly like --
Fang Meijia!
She is the daughter of Fang Kun and Liu Haomin, and Ruan Chengyi's cousin-once-removed. Ever since Fang Kun wanted to climb the ranks through Ruan Chengyi, this cousin appeared. According to Ruan Chengyang, the two families have always been close, and this cousin, Fang Meijia, is also loved by the Ruan family. The three brothers of the Ruan family treat her like their own sister. Perhaps because the Ruan family has such strong positive energy, they had three sons but no daughters, so Fang Meijia became a daughter of the Ruan family in a way when Ruan Chengyi's mother was still alive.
Fang Meijia was visiting the Ruan family for the first time. When she first met Lin Meng, Lin Meng didn't have much of a good impression of her. This woman was arrogant and domineering, never looking at her directly. She had no idea where this high-and-mighty woman came from! It was as if she truly believed she was the eldest daughter of this family, so she could so readily exclude her, the stepmother!
Ke—Fang Mei Jia, she is not!
Fang Meijia's attitude towards Lin Meng doesn't matter much to Lin Meng. In her short life, she has already experienced too many cold stares and ridicule, so Fang Meijia's kind of childish behavior is really nothing to her. She doesn't particularly like this girl because of the timing of her appearance!
She appeared too late!
She bragged in front of Lin Meng, boasting about how good her relationship was with Ruan Chengyi and others, and how close her family used to be with the Ruan family. The intimate past she spoke of from her lips left Lin Meng astonished. How could she have the face to say such things!
Since she said she always considered Ruan Chengyi and the others as her older brothers, then where was she when the Ruan family fell into hardship and Ruan Chengyi and the others were shunned by everyone True feelings are revealed in times of adversity, but during their time of need, she didn't see any genuine affection between the Fang family and the Ruan family!
At that time, Ruan Chengyi and others were betrayed by their "friends," seeking help from others was mostly in vain. However, the Fang family at that time didn't even make a peep, let alone show up!
Now that the Ruan family is on the rise, with "old friends" like Ruan Chengyi and others gathering around them, the Fang family has also come closer. Need I say more about the insincerities and deceptions here
Lin Meng didn't understand how the Ruan family could so easily accept this Fang family! In her opinion, Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui were really good to Fang Meijia, treating her like a little sister. She couldn't compare to Fang Meijia in this aspect! Sometimes she would get angry, because clearly she had helped the two brothers more, while Fang Meijia had hardly done anything. But why, her efforts only met with suspicion and ingratitude!
Fang Kun became the manager of the Purchasing Department. This is a big, juicy position! If that person stays there, something is bound to happen! But she also reminded Ruan Chengyi, but it was no use; Ruan Chengyi didn't take it to heart!
That day, she wanted to promote Sun Mai to the position of deputy general manager, but a newcomer was arranged instead. It was Ruan Chengyi who personally recruited this person – a master's degree holder in management from a prestigious American university with experience working in foreign companies, he was indeed a talent. Along with this talented deputy general manager, several other newcomers were also recruited into the company, all of whom had been personally interviewed by Ruan Chengyi.
This is Lin Meng understanding that this is Ruan Chengyi cultivating his own confidantes and subordinates.
She felt a mixture of relief and hurt. After all, it also meant that she was being distrusted by him! This was inevitably disappointing, because she had poured her heart and soul into this company, into these three brothers, but in the end, she wasn't trusted at all.
Lin Meng shook her head, brushing away the disappointment in her heart. No matter what, Guangda growing up under the hands of the three Ruan brothers was a good thing. The methods of the three Ruan brothers were becoming increasingly sophisticated, which was also a good thing. She was just repaying Mr. Ruan's kindness; besides repaying her gratitude, she had no other aspirations. Therefore, whether the three brothers accepted her favor or not was irrelevant.
"Here you are!"
She gave Fang Meijia a casual greeting.
Fang Meijia's smile vanished, she simply gave a cold "um" in response. She always treated Lin Meng this way. This was in stark contrast to the bright smiles she directed at the three Ruan brothers. However, Ruan Chengyi seemed never to find anything amiss with this. Just like now, he sat there without offering any opinion on the matter.
Lin Meng wasn't expecting anything, so she went straight to the kitchen. She was starving and needed to make something delicious quickly.
Fang Meijia looked at Lin Meng's back, her eyes turned cold, and she pursed her lips.
"Big brother, look at her, what attitude!"
Fang Meijia sat down and complained to Ruan Chengyi, "When I saw you, you didn't even say hello! And for two nights in a row, she didn't come home. She doesn't seem to feel any remorse or guilt at all, it's really infuriating!"
Ruan Chengyi's expression turned somewhat cold, his eyes a little gloomy. He cast his gaze towards the kitchen.
Fang MeiJia watched silently, a smug smile playing on her lips. Her parents had said that Lin Meng was the most detestable person - cunning and shrewd, she even held back her father's promotion, making him a troublesome obstacle that needed to be removed as soon as possible. So Fang MeiJia came, her main mission being to make her cousins dislike Lin Meng and get her out of the company quickly. That way, her parents could finally flourish within the company.
She has always been the favorite of her several uncles. She was very confident about this task assigned by her parents. Just like now, she casually said a few words and could increase her eldest cousin's dislike for Lin Meng by a few points.
When the company suffered heavy losses over the past few months, she was truly terrified. At that time, the company moved funds around to cover up the huge financial hole caused by her cousin's mistakes. Although she wasn't entirely clear about what her parents had done, she knew that her father had embezzled a lot of money from Guangda. If this were accidentally discovered, it would be a major disaster. Ripping up with the Ruan family would be a small matter, but her lv, gi, and Chanel would be gone! She was used to living with these brands; without them, it would be like taking away her life! Therefore, she prayed fervently that nothing would go wrong.
Back then, parents dared not approach their eldest cousin for fear of attracting his attention and being noticed. Even she was forbidden by her parents from going to the Ruan family.
Luckily, father was capable. When Guangda split in two and Li Shu took away most of the resources, father successfully destroyed his records of debt and corruption. This way, he wasn't caught by Lin Shu, who was also quite unpleasant. Now, he's firmly seated as the Procurement Department Manager, so her brand name is safe.
That Lin Meng is truly hateful. As long as she isn't eliminated, my father will face obstacles every day. According to my father, Lin Meng has set her sights on him. It is said that she is very dissatisfied with my father taking this position!
What the heck!
Fang Meijia scoffed inwardly, but it was just a stepmother, really thinking she was the legitimate wife! As long as her cousin brothers didn't recognize her, what was Lin Meng anyway
“Big brother, are you saying Uncle really doesn't plan on returning to China! We can't let that woman keep control of the company's finances forever! Even I, who don't know anything about financial management, understand that this financial seal needs to be held by someone trustworthy. How could Uncle just hand it over to her! Just look at her – she doesn't seem like someone who would put Uncle's company first.”
Ruan Chengyi tightened his lips and did not respond.
Fang Meijia felt that her older cousin was like a closed book. She said so much, but he didn't say a word in response. She suddenly found it boring and quietly stopped talking. However, Ruan Chengyi had always given the impression of being cold and taciturn, so Fang Meijia didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After sitting for a while, her phone rang. She picked it up, answered the call, put it down, and then asked, "Big brother, when will the second brother be back!"
"Almost there!" The reply was short and to the point, as if speaking another word would be a charity.
“Oh, my friend is arriving soon, I need to call Second Brother and remind him!”
After finishing her words, she took out her phone and called Ruan Chenghui.
Lin Meng made a pot of delicious hot soup noodles as quickly as she could. Then, with a happy smile, she carried the big bowl of noodles out of the kitchen and upstairs to enjoy while watching TV dramas. There's nothing more blissful than being hungry and having something delicious to eat, especially when you can also enjoy some mental entertainment!
When she passed by the living room, she mostly avoided looking at Ruan Chengyi's direction. When people like Fang Meijia and Ruan Chengyi gathered together, she didn't awkwardly try to join them.
But suddenly a voice, startled her!
"Lin Meng!"
First came a gasp of surprise! Then, with a tone of certainty, the call was repeated. "Lin Meng!"
This time, the sweet voice sounded rather severe!
Lin Meng followed the sound, her heart pounding. She turned stiffly, and the face that met her eyes sent a jolt through her. Her hand trembled, causing half of the bowl of hot noodles to spill. She quickly gripped the tray tighter, barely managing to keep it from falling completely, but— some of the scalding broth still splashed onto the floor, staining it. The precarious tray held only half a bowl of noodles now, clinging precariously to the edge— ruined!
Lin Meng looked at the noodles that had previously been beautifully presented and appetizing, but were now a tangled mess. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Lin Zi, what are you doing here!it.The thought made a searing pain shoot through him, his desire springing up and bouncing wildly. He fought to control it, reaching into her legs.The different touch, too vivid, finally stimulated h...
