're a good girl, don't cry..."He soothed her while gently stroking her silky hair. Such intimate gestures could easily put someone at ease. His every word and action always managed to achieve results...As soon as Lin Meng came out, the little guy turned his head and saw him.
"Mommy!" The little boy jumped out of his mother's arms and ran over to Lin Meng. Xiao Hao moved his small legs but ultimately sat obediently on the sofa.
When Lin Meng was hugged by the little guy, she bent down and poked the little guy's face hard.
"Little rascal!"
"Huh!" The little guy didn't understand at all.
Lin Meng didn't say anything more. She took the little boy's hand and walked over to Rong Mama.
Suddenly, she was surrounded by a father and son, the big one and the small one. The scene looked very pleasing to the eye, truly like a painting.
Although Mom can be a bit rough around the edges, seeing this scene really touched her heart. She felt a wave of warmth and comfort, and her nose started to tingle with tears.
She, the mother, never acted like a proper one. When her child was young, she refused to take money from that man and struggled for a living. She didn't really care for the child properly, and before she knew it, the child became independent and developed their own thoughts. Later, when her son grew up, she felt guilty. She thought she hadn't done well as a mother and didn't deserve to give him orders. When her son became powerful and wealthy, she basically relied on him for everything, being protected by him thoroughly. In essence, only she listened to her son’s words!
So, seeing Rong Ling not getting married, she was anxious but didn't dare to say much because she felt ashamed. She was also afraid that her own experiences would affect her son's views on marriage and make him lose confidence in it, living alone for the rest of his life. She dared not stimulate him in the slightest!
Now, it's all done!
My son now has a son! And my son also has a woman he's going to marry!
That's great!
If she weren't in front of so many people, she would want to cry her heart out, but this was definitely a happy kind of crying!
Her eyes, uncontrollably, were slightly moist. Thinking about not losing face in front of the younger generation, she endured it, forcing the tears back. Then, she noticed something amiss. Lin Meng's walk seemed a little slow, and her son appeared to be supporting her. The father and son, big and small, seemed to be accommodating each other, deliberately slowing their pace!
Her legs, they're broken!
Mom was getting a little anxious, so she stood up.
Although she is quite old, her true nature still shows.
"What's wrong with your leg!" She stepped forward two paces, walking towards Lin Meng.
Before this, she never mentioned having leg problems when reading the newspaper! Could something have happened!
Mom immediately thought of the news report she had seen earlier about Lin Meng being kidnapped by a thug. Because of Rong Ling's pressure and because most of the people who knew about it were close friends with Lin Meng, they remained tight-lipped when questioned by media reporters, insisting that everything published in the newspapers was all there was to it, and that was all they knew!
Because the origin of the explosion was linked to some rather unsavory past events, Rong Lingyi had suppressed it with all his might. He'd even contacted relevant departments, urging them to put an end to the matter. It had been years since then, and he didn't want those old grievances to disturb Lin Meng again.
So, Mama Rong doesn't know at this time that Lin Meng is wounded by a gunshot!
Mother Rong's sincerity touched Lin Meng, leaving her a little surprised. Mother Rong even came over and personally helped her up. Lin Meng immediately smiled and refused.
“Mother, it’s really nothing. I just have a small scratch on my leg. Rong Ling is making too much of a fuss. He insisted on supporting me, but actually, I could walk myself. In a few days, it will be like nothing happened, and I’ll be able to walk and jump around again!”
Mother wasn't foolish and quickly understood that her son had taken a liking to this young woman. If he didn't value her, how could he be so "alarmed and astonished"
So Mother immediately agreed. "Let Rong Ling support you, before your leg is better, just let him keep supporting you like this, hehe, he's strong, supporting you shouldn't be a problem!"
Lin Meng blushed a little sheepishly, but she kept looking at Rong's mother openly and honestly.
Her performance made Rong Mama very satisfied. Originally, she had a good impression of Lin Meng. As a girl, to support such a large company was no easy feat, this ability was truly remarkable. Moreover, the feeling she gave off wasn't that of a particularly arrogant or self-centered strong woman, on the contrary, she was more like a classical gentle woman. She seemed to be someone who could bring warmth and enjoyment to Rong Ling's family. The only thing that bothered Rong Mama right now was that Lin Meng had been married before!
She knew that in this day and age, marriage was a common occurrence for both men and women, so these matters shouldn't be taken too seriously. Psychologically speaking, however, she couldn't help but instinctively feel sorry for her son. But since she was new to the place, it was inappropriate to voice these thoughts, so she could only swallow them down.
"Come come come, have a seat!"
Rongling suddenly spoke. "Mom, just call her Mengmeng!"
Since we're all family now, it would be too forward to just call each other by our first names!
Mom was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.
As soon as Lin Meng sat down, the two little boys squeezed up to her sides, one on each side, crowding even Rong Ling to stand by the edge. Helplessly, he picked Youyou up and placed him on his lap, only then did he manage to claim a spot beside Lin Meng.
Lin Meng's eyes landed on the big pile of candy and scattered toys. She didn't say anything, just reached out and touched each of the two children. Xiao Haohuo rubbed against Lin Meng's hand and leaned against her waist, letting out a small yawn.
He was still injured and prone to drowsiness. Lin Meng took the initiative to pull him over, letting him lean half against her body. She held him with one hand, while the other gently stroked his back. Little Haohao had both small hands half-hugging her, looking somewhat drowsy, almost asleep!
"Why don't we send the children back to bed first!" Though Mama Rong was reluctant to part with the children who had just warmed up, she wouldn't let them stay here out of selfish desires.
"It's fine." Lin Meng shook her head lightly. "Just leave it like this, and when they fall asleep, I'll carry them back!"
She knew that Mama Rong cherished Youyou dearly. Just by looking at her gaze, which was mostly focused on Youyou, it was obvious.
As expected, once Lin Meng said that, Rong Mama stopped persuading her.
Lin Meng looked at Rong Mama, a little unsure of what to say. Rong Mama was also at a loss for words, both feeling a bit awkward. After all, this was their first meeting, and under such circumstances. Naturally, it was time for Rong Ling, the middleman, to speak up.
He asked Mother Rong how she came to be there, and of course, Mother Rong complained, recounting the whole story.
Then Yu Xu seemed a little restless. "Big brother, I'm sorry, I have something else to do, and I want to leave first!"
Rong Ling raised her eyes and gave him a cold, piercing look. Yu Xu's heart skipped a beat, feeling a sudden chill. He knew he was in trouble tonight. This incident would definitely be remembered by his older brother.
"Go ahead and leave!"
Although Rong Ling had let him go, Yu Xu didn't feel any relief in his heart. But as soon as he thought about the girl who had been waiting for him all night, he quickly stood up, let out an "ai" sound, and walked away like his butt was on fire.
"Mom felt a bit guilty. “I was being quite demanding today, it seems I caused trouble for Xiao Xu after all. Love, Hope, please don't delay his important matters!”
"Mom, what good could he possibly have to say Don't overthink it!" Rong Ling said coldly.
But the mother was immediately soothed and started to smile.
Because of Rong Ling's mediation, the conversations between Rong Mama and Lin Meng gradually increased and became more lively. However, most of the topics still revolved around their child, discussing things about the child when they were young.
Lin Mengqiao saw that her mother-in-law truly adored the little boy, and she had an idea. "Mother-in-law," she suggested, "I'll bring you Youyou's photo album next time!"
From the moment her child was in her womb, she consciously preserved the milestones of their growth, including ultrasound photos taken during pregnancy. As an unfavored child herself, she didn't have many opportunities for photographs at home. Looking back, there were very few pictures available; basically, she had forgotten what she looked like as a child! For her son, she hopes that when he grows up, he can avoid this regret and fully experience his own growth journey!
Mother Rong's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed. Even Rong Ling, who was listening, felt moved.
I wonder what Youyou looked like when she was just born. Was she similar to Rong Ling Haha, Rong Ling at that time... just so tiny...
The mother was excitedly waving her hands, as if she were going to recount everything from Rong's birth all the way to when he was five years old.
"Hmm!" Rong Ling cleared his throat and gave Rong Mu a warning glance.
"Mom, it's late. Go to sleep first. We can talk about it tomorrow!"
Children usually talk about embarrassing things that make people laugh, such as giggling, bedwetting, drooling, crying and laughing inexplicably, being greedy for food, making trouble, and playing around. Although every child has had such embarrassing moments more or less, Rong Ling still doesn't want Lin Meng to know about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to train this woman in the future, his aura would be much weaker!
Mother Rong had lived under her son's control for a long time. If Rong Ling said a word, she would immediately shut up. At this point, the two little ones had already fallen asleep with their heads cocked to one side; one nestled in Rong Ling's arms and the other leaning against Lin Meng. Mother Rong saw this and immediately agreed, "Oh, it is really late. The children are all asleep. I think we should also get some rest!"
Lin Mengmei's beautiful eyes rolled, she glanced at Rong Ling, a mischievous smile in her heart!
Cut it out, don't think she doesn't know what this man is avoiding in his heart. Just wait, she will definitely dig up his childhood later, clean and tidy! Xiao Rongling, I wonder if he was as cool as he is now, just as aloof and arrogant, or was he just a little kid who cries and throws tantrums Heh heh, she thinks about it, and feels so excited!
Lin Meng sat on the edge of the bed, tidying up the two little ones, when Rong Mama pulled Rong Ling out. Lin Meng watched, saying nothing. They were mother and son, she was an outsider after all. For elders, all she could do was try her best to perform well, as for their attitude towards her, it was beyond her control! Only she felt that just now, Rong Mama seemed quite fond of her, wondering what she was talking to Rong Ling about
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Over there, Rong Ma dragged Rong Ling out alone. Actually, it was because of the discomfort she felt in her heart.
"Rongling, this...this mother thinks Mengmeng is quite good. However, you see...you see..."
She hesitated before speaking.
"Mom, if you keep acting like this, I'm leaving!"
"Oh, no!" Mother Rong reached out and grabbed Rong Ling's arm. She glanced at the door of Lin Meng's room before saying smoothly, "What I wanted to say is, Mengmeng... she was married before!"
After finishing, he looked at him with some worry.
It's not her prejudice, but a married woman...always...there's always something not quite right about it!
"Are you going to marry her!"
“Mom!” Rong Ling reached out and, in a gesture of embrace, firmly grasped his mother’s shoulders. He looked at her seriously. “For the rest of my life, if I get married, I will only marry her. If you still want to see your son get married, then you can only accept her. There are many things between us that I can’t explain right now. All in all, she will be your only daughter-in-law!”
Mom thought for a moment, then nodded and explained, “Anyway, Mom knows you’re a smart person. Since you’ve made up your mind, Mom will definitely support you unconditionally! Mengmeng is also pretty good, hehe, I think she's teaching Youyou well—”
"Mom's face turned red, a little embarrassed. She continued, "You're doing much better than me, so much better than I was back then!"
Rong Ling frowned slightly, let go of her hand, and softened her tone. "Those are all things that have already passed, why think about them so much!"
"Yes, it's gone, all of it..."
It could be said that, but Mother's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
"Oh, look at me..." she quickly wiped away her tears. "Mom, this is happiness, don't think too much about it, it's really happiness, today is truly so happy..."
Rong Ling sighed, remembering the past, his heart also moved. Reaching out, he wiped away Rong Mama's tears heavily with one hand.
"Look at you, you're so old, yet you still cry like that…"
Mother's tears flowed even more freely!
Rong Ling just like that, helped wipe for a while, Rong Mama's mood this only calmed down some.
“Son, Mom will be staying here for a while. You won't chase me away, will you” She looked at him expectantly. She didn't want to be separated from her grandson!
Her thinking is a bit jumpy.
If she had known her mother's temperament beforehand, she would have withdrawn her hand. It can be certain that the tinge of sadness in her heart before has vanished!
"Suit yourself, you can stay as long as you like!"
Mom immediately smiled, her face lit up with joy, only faint traces of tears remained. You wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't look closely!
"I'll take you to your room!"
Then Mom followed Rong Ling closely, and then as if she had thought of something, her head tilted slightly. She glanced at the room where the little boy was sleeping, then again at the room where Rong Ling had stayed in before. She waited until Rong Ling led her into the room before closing the door. She pulled Rong Ling away from the door a bit and whispered to him in a low voice.
"Son, I'm going to sleep with Youyou tonight!"
Without responding, she let out a few chuckles and in a very "bros" manner, nudged Rong Ling with her elbow. Her smile became ambiguous.
"Mumble, You can sleep with Mengmeng since I'm watching over you!"
"When her mother brought it up, she wasn't embarrassed at all, instead, she looked quite interested."
"Mom just now really didn't know about that, you guys… anyway, that's just how it is decided!"
Mom's right hand clenched into a fist and pounded hard on the palm of her open left hand. The look of pleasure and excitement on her face was like that of a judge hammering down his gavel, finalizing a case! The air around her felt commanding and unyielding.
This man, Rong Ling, has always been arrogant and reckless, going against the norms of propriety. When his mother said this, he didn't feel a bit embarrassed; instead, he took advantage of her words.
"Alright, but if you want to sleep with your grandson, you'll have to ask Mengmeng yourself. She has to agree!"
That little woman must be fuming inside right now. He couldn't possibly be so foolish as to say it outright and let her continue sleeping with him! There's no way she'd agree to that. But if his mother were to speak up, things would be different! As long as that little woman was driven out of the house, he'd naturally find a way to lure her back to him.
Mom Rong is not a shrewd person, instead she's a bit naive. She was immediately deceived by Rong Ling and thought that she genuinely wanted to share a bed with her grandson, while her son had no impure thoughts at all!
Giddy with excitement, she went to look for Lin Meng. After all, she was the future mother-in-law and the child's grandmother! Lin Meng hesitated for a moment, then, under Mama Rong's beaming gaze, nodded in agreement!
Then questions arose. Would it be appropriate for her mother to sleep there as well After all, she'd only met her future mother-in-law a few hours earlier and was already sleeping in the same bed! The feeling was quite strange. Though the bed was large enough to accommodate four people, it felt cramped. Lin Meng didn't want to make things uncomfortable for her elders either.
So, she politely gave up her bed and let Mom Rong sleep in it. She planned to find another room outside to sleep in. Because the two little ones were already asleep, it wasn't a good idea to disturb them anymore.
She just walked out like that, but she wanted to be alone. How naive of her! The cunning wolf who had been waiting there all along feigned confusion and asked the lost lamb.
How did you get out!
"Your mom's going to sleep with Youyou, so I'm giving her my bed!"
"Oh, then you sleep with me tonight!"
The big bad wolf forcefully snatched, oh no, picked up the little lamb and walked away, not giving the little lamb any right to refuse.
"Don't sleep with me!" She was really mad at him, who let him be so awful back then!
But he paid no heed, swallowed it whole, and then to make him spit it out was impossible!
He closed the door, locked it, turned off all the lights except for one bedside lamp. He put her on the bed and took off his clothes, each movement flowing seamlessly into the next, a perfect execution. But her lack of cooperation was like a stroke of ink, ruining this beautiful picture.
"No!"
She pushed him, her body rolling, about to get off the bed, but he pinned her down at once.
If you keep doing that, I'll be really mad! She glared at him with fire in her eyes, her anger was no joke!
He feign innocence with a sinister expression.
But what can be done, it stood up! He frowned, staring at her deeply.
She was stunned and secretly glanced at him, noticing that there seemed to be a bulge in that area. She swallowed nervously and quickly averted her gaze. Then, she lowered her head and ignored him.
He came over again and pulled at her clothes, kissing her at the same time.
She pushed him again and turned her face away.
"Good girl!" he sighed her name.
Her bearing became a little weaker, but she still shook her head resolutely.
"No!"
He immediately grew agitated, then broke with precedent and released her openly, sitting down beside himself and scratching his hair vigorously.
"Forget it!" The voice was sullen and heavy, like a boulder pressing down on Lin Meng's chest.
Lin Meng just glared at him!
He lowered his head, staring at the ground, his hands clenched into fists, looking as if he was enduring great difficulty. Looking at him from the side, that face carved like a knife revealed a sense of loss, like an extremely fine needle, specifically aimed at piercing her heart. Lin Meng's heart felt a little sour.
She sat up, forcing herself not to comfort the man. But the man's presence was too strong; she simply couldn't ignore him! As she looked at him, seeing how he was still enduring for her, but also clearly frustrated, her compassion took over!
She reached out and gently nudged him, weakly suggesting, "Maybe you... should go take a cold shower!"
The man was secretly pleased, thinking his scheme had worked. He thought this soft-hearted woman would be the one to take the initiative and come closer. But who knew she would say something like that!
He immediately turned his head, glaring at her with ferocity. His eyes were cold yet fiery, burning like flames that left Lin Meng speechless with fear!
He continued to look at her like that, so coldly!
She was glared at for a while, and she started to resist. She turned her face away, lay back down, and pulled the blanket over herself. Whatever! This man was too much tonight, she wasn't going to put up with him anymore!
Men are inherently tyrannical by nature. Seeing a woman like this, he thought to himself, putting on an act of pitiful helplessness. For a woman who is "like a roof that gets exposed when not beaten in three days and swells with arrogance when given a bit of sunlight," the best course of action is simply "an eye for an eye"!apter 271Yesterday's content has been added, today's chapter will be owed first!
