hat the place was empty. Through a note on the table, the police suspected that Lin Meng had fled after committing a crime. They then issued an arrest warrant and assigned another branch to assist in...The little guy was pretty proud. Back in the car, he hid his injury from Lin Meng because there were other people around, like Yu Xu and Ah Yi. (..) The little guy didn't want to lose face in front of others, so he kept it a secret, enduring the pain silently. He also wanted to make Lin Meng proud; he had to let everyone think he was amazing, which would make his mom seem great too. He just hadn't expected that his careful concealment would be seen through by Old Man Yan in the end.

"That's so embarrassing!"

The little child stretched out their small hand and covered their face, their voice filled with shyness.

Lin Meng smiled and sighed, gently hugging the little one. Because of her, the little one had gone this far, it was all her fault. She was an unqualified mommy.

After returning to the Ruan residence, Lin Meng helped the little one clean himself up. He then laid him down on the bed and started taking out the medicinal wine given by Jiang Mu. Carefully, he rubbed and massaged the little one's body with it.

"Does it hurt" she asked softly.

The little guy immediately shook his head like a tambourine.

Lin Meng paused her hand slightly, and with a touch of punishment, she lightly poked the bruised spot on the little guy's arm with her fingertip. "There's no one else here, why are you still unwilling to tell Mommy the truth!"

“Mommy…” The little one stretched out the sound, calling out in a rather embarrassed tone. After twisting his body back and forth, the little one finally conceded, softly whimpering, like the moan of a young beast.

"It hurts a little... But, it's only a little bit, just a little bit..."

"There's just a little bit left!" Lin Meng chided, patting the little one's bottom. "In the future, don't pretend in front of Mommy, otherwise, Mommy will be angry and her heart will be hurt!"

"Good!" the little one answered cheerfully.

Then, as expected, he cooperated. Lin Meng kneaded his body, dispersing the remaining bruising. The little guy whimpered and softly called out in pain, asking for a kiss from Mommy. When it was over, he put on his clothes and then snuggled into Lin Meng's arms again, rubbing against her like a little puppy.

"Mommy, Youyou wants to eat sweet and sour chicken wings tonight, Mommy, can you make them for Youyou Please!" Cuteness is the little one's superpower!

"Okay!" Lin Meng sweetly agreed. "What else, tell me, Mommy will do it for you. Our little Youyou was wronged today, Mommy wants to properly comfort you!"

The little boy giggled, tilting his head and his eyes twinkling as he thought up several more dish names. Lin Meng readily agreed to each one.

Later, Lin Meng looked seriously at the little fellow.

"Yoyo, did Mommy make things difficult for you!"

"Huh!" the little guy looked at her in confusion.

Lin Meng gently brushed the stray hairs from the little one's forehead and caressed them softly, time and again.

"Now, there are many reports outside about Mommy, and none of them are good. Yoyo, after seeing this, aren't you a little heartbroken! Mommy like this, isn't it making it difficult for Yoyo to get along with other children!"

The little one was a bit agitated, craning their neck and waving their hands frantically. "No, no, Youyou is fine, Youyou gets along very well with their friends. The news reports outside are all fake, Youyou doesn't believe them, and Youyou's friends don't believe them either. Those reports are bad, those uncles and aunts are bad too, Youyou's mommy is the best mommy, they are rotten to the core, saying bad things about Mommy!"

The little boy puffed out his cheeks, his black eyes cold and glaring, looking quite angry.

Lin Meng chuckled again, this adorable son of hers, what a treasure! She was so lucky to have given birth to him!

"Youyou, Mommy needs to apologize to you first because of Mommy's things, it must have made Youyou embarrassed!"

"No!" the little guy said, wrinkling his brow and shaking his head vigorously.

Lin Meng chuckled to herself, continuing, "Yoyo is so protective of Mommy. Mommy is so happy!"

The little guy immediately blushed, a bit embarrassed. The coldness in his black eyes disappeared, and the little guy followed with a silly smile.

"Mommy, let's not talk about this, okay!"

The little guy nuzzled against Lin Meng's arm with a cute expression. He looked so tender and adorable! Lin Meng couldn't help but peck the little guy on the face.

"Okay, we're done talking. But Mommy still needs to tell Youyou that there are many things in the newspaper that aren't true. They exaggerate a lot of things to attract readers and make us buy their newspapers. If Youyou has any doubts, just ask Mommy, okay Mommy will tell you everything I can. And if Youyou feels wronged or unhappy, tell Mommy, okay! Youyou is Mommy's little treasure, and Mommy wants Youyou to be happy all the time!"

The little kid smiled with glee and said "Mmm" sweetly.

"Mommy, would you please have your little ones come over to my place to play in a few days"

The little guy tilted his head, a bit puzzled.

Lin Meng chuckled and tapped the little guy's nose. "Yoyo has made so many good friends, Mommy doesn't know them very well, so Mommy wants to get to know Yoyo's friends properly, okay!"

The little boy's face flushed red after being praised by Lin Meng, and he shyly replied with a "good".

"Lin Meng continued praising. "Your friends are all so amazing, they support you so much and even helped you fight. Mommy is so happy and proud of you. Our Youyou is truly the best!"

The little guy giggled again, delighted. The little bit of joy he'd had in his heart had long since been swept away by Lin Meng's coaxing!

"Then, is Youyou going to write invitations! And decorate the house beautifully! And buy lots and lots of delicious food!"

The little boy's mind raced, excitement building. He knew what it meant when they asked him to come over: a party at his house! It was going to be his chance to host. He had been to parties thrown by other kids overseas before – many of them were organized entirely by the children themselves. The little guy couldn't wait to try it himself.

This is actually also an opportunity to train yourself!

Lin Meng encourages children to do things themselves, so the tone should be light and cheerful.

"Okay, Youyou can decorate the party yourself! Mommy will help you."

The little guy immediately cheered, wriggling out of Lin Meng's arms and starting to bounce on the bed.

"That's great, that's wonderful..."

The lively little fellow truly shows it, that his wounds and bruises haven't hindered him at all!

Lin Meng looked at the little guy's small frame and the excited face he couldn't hide, and thought to himself with a smile: He's still a child!

Later, after finishing a bedtime story and tucking the little one in, Lin Meng called Rong Ling and told him her plans.

Lin Meng's plan to leverage media attention is actually quite bold, but not uncommon. There was a case before where a real estate mogul used the publicity surrounding his son's upcoming marriage to a famous actress to hype up a property that was previously relatively unknown. The publicity campaign successfully brought the property into the public eye, and as a result, it gained significant popularity and made him a considerable profit.

If feelings weren't involved, Rong would think Lin Meng's plan was very good. He sometimes felt that this little woman was naive and that he seemed to have let her down just a little, and she would be bullied; but sometimes, this woman was unexpectedly clever. At least she could come up with such a way, which has already proved that she has the qualifications of a manager. wouldn't be able to stay here. So, immediately, they hacked at Li Lanqiu's hands, preventing her from gripping the door frame. They then forcefully dragged her out. As Lin Meng had commanded, they mo...
