giving it to Lin Meng Giving it to that outsider Good job, Rong Fei Wu! Rong Fei Wu, this is how you treat your own daughter, this is how you treat your own people. Are you bewitched, or have you bee...Rong Ling's phone rang. ( ..tw good-looking novels) He picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID. After a moment of thought, he hung up the call.
Li Lanqiu's eyes immediately followed it.
"Who is it"
Rong Ling did not respond, only saying, "I'll send you back to your room first."
But the phone did not quiet down as he had expected, it rang again. Li Lanqiu knew this and lifted her chin, looking at Rong Ling with a knowing smile, she said confidently.
"It's Lin Meng, just answer it. I promise I won't say a word."
Rong Ling told her that for his grand scheme, he needed to keep Lin Meng stable, so his relationship with her was a secret from Lin Meng. He couldn't let her know, which made Li Lanqiu feel like an unseen underground lover. This enraged her, but she felt helpless. Even now, when she promised him, it wasn't genuine.
Rong Ling heard her words and, looking at the incoming call display that still belonged to Lin Meng, didn't immediately answer it.
Li Lanqiu's jealousy inflated like a balloon game. When she spoke, her words carried a sour tone.
"Well, is there some secret between you and Lin Meng that I'm not supposed to know So, you're avoiding my calls!"
Rong Ling frowned.
It's nothing, I just think it's a hassle.
Li Lanqiu felt a little better in her heart and urged him. "Then just take it, I definitely won't cause trouble."
She wanted to see what Lin Meng's phone call was about.
Seeing that Lin Meng made this call so urgently, Rong Ling also felt some worry in her heart. According to their habit, if she called him and he hung up, it meant he was busy and inconvenient to answer her call. He would call back personally later. This was a tacit understanding between them, and Lin Meng should be very clear about it. Now that she knew this, she still insisted on calling again. Could something have happened
Despite the worry that had him on edge, he felt it was more trouble to ignore the call. Although having Li Lanqiu standing beside him at the moment seemed inconvenient, he answered the phone anyway.
"Hey!"
Just a single word, without the endearing "Little Sweetheart" that he usually called her. Because, he had to be cautious around Li Lanqiu.
Lin Meng heard the almost emotionless "Hello," and her heart ached. She could vaguely hear the conversation between Li Lanqiu and Rong Ling. Rong Ling spoke in a low voice, sounding somewhat muffled. It was Li Lanqiu who spoke with a higher pitch than Rong Ling, laced with a sense of smug satisfaction that seemed to want everyone around to know about their relationship. Therefore, she probably understood their conversation, and felt both heartache and anger.
"Are you at the company now" she asked casually.
Rong Ling thought for a moment and replied cautiously. "No, I'm outside. What's up"
He didn't lie to her about this.
Lin Meng clenched her fists and asked again.
"It's nothing, I just went to the courier company today to check the accounts, after it was done, I wanted to find you by the way. Where are you now"
He didn't reply to her, instead cleverly asking her back, and even teasing her.
"Are you at the courier company now"
"Where are you now"
Rong Ling's intuition was somewhat beastly, so he immediately raised his eyes and quickly scanned the surroundings. He had just noticed a few pairs of eyes falling on him, but he didn't feel any threat, so he didn't look closely. Could it be that she's here!
His heart leaped up immediately. But after taking a look, he didn't see her familiar figure, and his heart relaxed. He thought to himself that he had overthought it. He had deliberately arranged Li Lanqiu in the high-end VIP room of Mingguang Hospital because he thought that with the high consumption here, ordinary people couldn't afford it. Even if Lin Meng got sick, she would only go to Shuangmu Hospital. Even if there was a one in a million chance that she came to Mingguang, she shouldn't have come to this high-end ward area that ordinary people couldn't enter.
"When will you be finished, I'll pick you up then."
“No way.” Lin Meng didn’t know what kind of mood she was in as she acted coquettishly as usual. This man kept pushing her away, again and again. If it were any other time, she would have definitely been swayed by this man long ago, but it seemed he was rather clever. However, she stood there now, replaying the image of him holding Li Lanqiu in her mind, and how he was still holding Li Lanqiu as he answered her phone call. She felt a deep sense of sorrow within herself.
"I'm just going to find you and give you a surprise. Where are you now"
She pouted and smiled softly, but her words were bitter.
Xiao Lu, standing on the side, felt his scalp tingling as he watched this scene unfold. He silently mourned for his boss and himself. He didn't need to say a word; he knew that when he went back, he was dead meat. His boss wouldn't let him off the hook.
The voice on the phone wasn't as clear and real as when someone spoke in person, so Rong Ling didn't notice the slight, subtle change in Lin Meng's seemingly normal coquettishness. He listened to the woman's charming voice, his heart softened, but also felt guilty. After thinking for a moment, he quickly gave Lin Meng an address. It was a large shopping mall very close to Mingguang Hospital. After hanging up, he rushed there immediately. In about seven or eight minutes, he could guarantee that no matter where Lin Meng was now, he could fulfill her wish to surprise him.
But he truly surprised her, yet she felt no joy at all!
"Rong Ling—" Lin Meng finally let out a soft sigh and walked out from the corner. "Turn around!"
Rong Ling's heart, like a thousand-jin weight pressed down, sank straight downward.
He knew, the scene he dreaded most had appeared. Sure enough, his initial intuition hadn't deceived him. In vain did he expend so much effort, the more intricate his plans, the greater the harm inflicted.
He turned with difficulty, and saw that thirty meters away, the woman he loved to his bones, was holding a phone to her ear, yet staring at him with an expressionless face.
His heart was filled with bitterness!
This accident was a heavy blow to him. He was caught off guard and didn't know what to do. Most importantly, Li Lanqiu, the one who was most troublesome and forced him to be entangled with her, stood beside him. But he couldn't explain himself and had to stay by Li Lanqiu's side.
He suddenly understood what it meant to have a mouth full of bitter herbs!
Pain, real goddamn pain!
But Li Lanqiu was sweet, surprised again and again. Look, even Heaven is helping her. Rong Ling hid her so well, preventing Lin Meng from finding out, but, as quickly as this, Lin Meng came looking for her herself.
Okay, that's great!
She couldn't help but laugh, a radiant smile spreading across her face.
Of course, her smile pierced Lin Meng once again.
Lin Meng put down her phone and waved at Rong Ling mockingly, gritting her teeth with some resentment.
"At the mall!"
The voice came through his phone, clear as day, and made Rong Ling's whole body tense.
Lin Meng walked towards Rong Ling with a stern face, her bright eyes like icy sword tips. She wanted to hear how this man would explain himself.
But before Rong Ling could speak, Li Lanqiu spoke first.
These days, he's been staying with me.
She smiled with a twinkle in her eye, sweet as honey. "Since you saw us, I might as well come clean, Lin Meng. Rong and I are back together, right, Rong"
She smiled sweetly, tilting her head slightly to look at Rong Ling. Seeing Rong Ling's jaw clenched tightly, as if restraining himself, suppressing something, a flash of jealousy crossed her heart. Rong Ling hadn't hidden it from her. He still had good feelings for Lin Meng, although those feelings weren't as strong as he had for her. But the fact that Rong Ling had another woman in his heart was enough to drive Li Lanqiu to madness with jealousy.
This time, Li Lanqiu took the initiative, wrapping her arms around Rong Ling's waist and pressing her beautiful face against his chest.
"Lin Meng, everything is as you see it."
This is hurtful!
Lin Meng was so angry that her eyes felt like they were filled with needles, she wished she could kill Li Lanqiu. A woman who steals another woman's husband is the most shameless woman, she deserves the worst punishment! But heaven is unfair, allowing such a woman to be treated so well, acting so arrogantly leaning against her man's chest. Yet, the rightful wife was standing alone like an insignificant third party.
"Róng Líng, explain this to me."
A cold and furious gaze shot towards Rong Ling.
But Rong Ling's explanation seemed too pale.
She almost died, I have to stay with her.
This statement was like a heavy punch, making Lin Meng's heart ache dull.
"You said you wouldn't meddle anymore. What are you doing now!"
She has always been jealous of Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu is the biggest thorn in her heart, because of her, she has endured a lot of pain. She thought that this thorn should have been removed after that day, but unexpectedly, this thorn is still there. And now, it hurts her even more.
Is Rong Ling so unforgettable to you!
She almost died, she took a knife for you, but I also almost died because of you. I can also fearlessly take a bullet for you. Can you forget all of this Or are all of these things not as important as Li Lanqiu
Her eyes, instantly red, required a tremendous amount of effort to hold back the tears that welled up with pain in front of Li Lanqiu. She had to prevent them from falling so as not to give her opponent any reason to mock her.
Rong Ling remained silent because, the more she spoke, the more likely she was to make mistakes.
But she understood nothing, always kept in the dark. His silence only fueled her anger further.
"Why aren't you speaking Speak up!"
Rong Ling pursed her lips, saying nothing. Her eyes were deep and heavy.
In the eyes of others, he seemed guilty and speechless. To everyone else, in this three-way game, Lin Meng was a failure. Even Li Lanqiu, watching on, felt that Lin Meng had been thoroughly defeated by her. But she wouldn't feel sorry for Lin Meng; instead, she hoped for even worse things to befall her.
Rong Ling didn't speak, she spoke for him.
"It is I who loves, Lin Meng!"
"Shut up!"
The roar, it came from Lin Meng's rage that was beyond control, and also from Rong Ling's inner turmoil.
Li Lanqiu didn't mind being scolded by Lin Meng at all, but when she was scolded by Rong Ling, she felt very wronged. Immediately, she used her tears as a weapon again. She looked at Rong Ling with teary eyes and an extremely pitiful expression. Although she knew it might anger him, she still bravely risked it.
"Forgive me, did I misunderstand You said this to me yourself, didn't you"
An unnamed fire burned in both Lin Meng and Rong Ling's hearts.
Rong Ling swore that after getting over this hurdle, he would definitely make Li Lanqiu look good.
This fire, of Lin Meng's making, was aimed not only at Li Lanqiu but also at Rong Ling.
"Let her go and come home with me!"
When she got home, she was determined to have a serious talk with him. He shouldn't have acted like that. Something must be wrong. She needed to ask him and get things clear.
Li Lanqiu, however, hugged Rong Ling even tighter, looking at Lin Meng with hostility and triumph.
Lin Meng's eyes narrowed, her anger reaching its peak.
"Li Lanqiu, let go of my husband!" she shouted. "Rong Ling, come home with me!"
Her lips were pressed together tightly with anger, so forcefully that they had turned red, almost to the point of bleeding. Yet, Rong Ling spoke.
"You should go back first. I can't go back for now."
The turbulent waves and surging tides are exactly what's going on inside Lin Meng's heart right now.
She clenched her fists and strode toward Rong Ling, who was standing straight. Her furious expression left no room for doubt—she was about to make a move. And she was indeed going to make a move; she was going to fight this man, beat him soundly, wake him up. No matter what his reason might be, he couldn't treat her like this!
That's too much!
That's too hurtful!
She raised her hand high, a fist clenched, aiming directly for Rong Ling's face. But when she met Rong Ling's eyes, those familiar warm pupils, and saw how Rong Ling didn't flinch or avoid her gaze, just accepted it all with such ease, her fist ended up landing in a clichéd way, missing Rong Ling's face by a hair's breadth and hitting Li Lanqiu instead.
Li Lanqiu let out a startled cry, "Ow!" She had come expecting a good show, so she was completely unprepared. As a result, Lin Meng's punch landed squarely on her, causing excruciating pain that felt like her entire jaw had shifted.
She hated Lin Meng more than anything else in the world. How could she stand this So after being called out, she wanted to fight back, but Rong Ling held her tightly, and she struggled but couldn't break free.
"Stop!" she shouted angrily.
But she could only watch helplessly as Lin Meng glared angrily at her and Rong Ling, her face covered in gloom. She walked away, disappearing into the elevator.
She wanted to chase after him, but she lost the chance!
"You!" she exclaimed, stamping her foot in anger. "She hit me, and you just ignore it!"
She was still holding her back.
Ke Rong suddenly released his anger and scolded her.
"I just had you keep her pinned down, towering over her. What else do you want Lin Meng can help me, don't push her to the point where she turns completely against me!"
This has always been Li Lanqiu's inferior place compared to Lin Meng. It was a place where she, no matter how jealous she was, had to be meek. Hearing Rong Ling say this, Li Lanqiu's arrogance immediately diminished. But she had gained some experience in crying, so she immediately covered her face with one hand, looked at Rong Ling with tear-filled eyes, and choked out,
"But, I'm in so much pain. Rong, Lin Meng hit too hard, it hurts to death..."
You deserve this pain!
Rong Ling thought with disgust in her heart, but still had to contradictorily start building her mental state again, slightly eased her expression, and coaxed her.
"I need her power, you shouldn't act like that in front of her next time."
Li Lanqiu burst into tears, sobbing with grievance. "So you mean I'm supposed to be her little minion all the time"
Rong Ling frowned, her voice laced with displeasure. "You said yourself before that you loved me, so you wouldn't mind the difference in status. I raised you like this, do you feel wronged"
Li Lanqiu was taken aback. She had indeed said those words, but back then, she had been acting. Now, however, the lines between reality and performance had blurred. It was because she had fallen in love with him that her heart grew greedy, unwilling to accept such an outcome.
She cried even harder. "Don't you feel sorry for me at all I have parents, relatives and friends. What will they think if they know I'm being kept by you like this How can I face them Waaah, you clearly love me, but you keep me outside your home. What does that even mean Why can't you marry me Waaah, or were you just lying to me before Did you never really intend to"
"We've talked about this." Rong Ling expressed mild impatience. "I need Lin Meng's power, she can help me. I really need other people's strength right now, Qiuqiu, if you can't help me, don't get in my way. Just be a good woman behind me, have some free time to listen to me complain, and make me happy, isn't that better"
The following few sentences describe exactly the kind of work that a mistress should be doing!
Li Lanqiu would not be content with remaining behind the scenes. She wanted to step into the spotlight!
Gritting her teeth, she finally gave a bit of information.
"I can help you too. You said, if I could help you, you would kick Lin Meng and marry me, right"
She stared at him, her eyes blazing with intensity.
Rong Ling pretended to be stupid. "Don't talk nonsense like that again, just take good care of yourself."
Li Lanqiu, however, was insistent and pressed him repeatedly.
"Isn't it Isn't it You said this back then, wasn't it true! If I had the ability to help you, stronger than Lin Meng, you would marry me, right That's what you said with your own mouth, I remember it clearly! You can't go back on your word now."
Ron Ling seemed to be tied down by her, and he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, you're right!"
"Good." Li Lanqiu raised the corner of her mouth, a dazzling light flashing in her eyes, as if she had everything under control. "I've noted what you said."
After biting her lip again, she made up her mind with a resolute gleam in her eyes and said stubbornly.
"I'm sure I can come up with a way to help you."
Then hurry up, don't beat around the bush.
Rong Ling impatiently muttered in his heart, thinking of Lin Meng who had left angrily. He just wanted to get rid of Li Lanqiu as soon as possible. Seeing that she was opening her mouth again with promises but no substance, he knew there was nothing to be gained from this conversation. So, he immediately urged Li Lanqiu to return to the ward and said he would call a nurse to check on her face.
Li Lanqiu felt that Rong Ling truly cared for her, and joy surged through her heart. However, just as Lin Meng had left, she also needed to guard against Rong Ling, who prioritized interests above all else, possibly pursuing someone else behind her back. Therefore, she kept a tight hold on him.
"Let me have my mom call the nurse, Rong Ling, stay with me. I'm in a lot of pain."
Such a woman will never forget how to be clever in these little things.
Rong Ling really wanted to punch her face again, to make her feel even worse. But he held back. Just then, bad news kept coming one after another. The driver Xiao Lu who had left with Lin Meng suddenly returned and intercepted Rong Ling before Li Lanqiu went back to the ward.
His face was etched with worry.
"Boss, Mengmeng was taken away by Jiang Chengfeng!"
Saying this, he looked extremely ashamed. After all, Lin Meng had been taken away from him by Jiang Chengfeng. The boss had given clear instructions: his primary duty was to ensure Lin Meng's safety; secondly, to prevent Lin Meng from meeting with Jiang Chengfeng and other members of the Jiang family.
He lost his job!
He chased after Lin Meng down the stairs, but just as he reached the door, Jiang Chengfeng suddenly appeared and punched him, dragging Lin Meng away. He went after them, but was beaten back by Jiang Chengfeng. Then Jiang Chengfeng pushed Lin Meng into his car and drove off. Although he had a car too, it was parked in the parking lot outside the hospital, where it had been left with the ambulance. Now he wanted to chase, but people couldn't keep up with the speed of the car, there was no way to catch up. There was simply no way, so he could only rush back and report the situation to his boss.
Rong Ling couldn't understand how Lin Meng appeared here. Now that he heard Lin Meng was taken away by Jiang Chengfeng, he suspected that Jiang Chengfeng had something to do with it. He hated the man in his heart. That man had ulterior motives, and in this situation, who knew what kind of trouble he would bring
He was about to leave, but Li Lanqiu stopped him.
"Rong Ling, what are you doing"
The voice, which had already begun to grate on him, amusingly reminded him of a fact he couldn't ignore: he was still on duty and couldn't act recklessly. But his wife had been taken away by another man, and he had to bring her back.
I have to bring her back, Jiang Chengfeng is in danger.
Li Lanqiu actually hoped that this situation could last forever, and she even believed what Rong Ling said about Lin Meng defecting to the Jiang family. This way, it would be even easier for her to take control of the Rong family. She couldn't let Rong Ling rush back to that woman so quickly. It would be best if Lin Meng had some sort of incident with Jiang Chengfeng first.
"Didn't you say you were going to have a nurse look at my face Now you just ignore me"
Rong Ling's eyes narrowed, bearing a restrained anger.
Li Lanqiu hurriedly said, "Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng have always been good friends. He took Lin Meng away. What danger could there be Perhaps Lin Meng is even happy to have gone with Jiang Chengfeng."
Rong Lingxin's mind turned, and she let out a cold snort. "Before I kicked her out, she was still my wife. If news gets out that she's entangled with other men, it would be a disgrace to me. No, I have to bring her back immediately."
He was about to leave.
Li Lanqiu hastily stopped him again.
Rong Ling's strength was immense, his martial arts prowess terrifying. It was incredibly difficult for ordinary people to stop him. Li Lanqiu had put in a lot of thought and effort to finally manage to pull him back. Unbeknownst to her, the actions she took in her anxiety inadvertently exposed her identity once again.
Ordinary people can't do this!
He didn't point out the discrepancy, regarding this woman, he had already completely treated her as a mission target.
Li Lanqiu called out, "Hey, what's the rush If you want to get Lin Meng back, just have your subordinates do it."
He has quite a few subordinates at home. This is the time to do something for the boss, when else would it be He deserves to be punished, he should personally get involved! She just hates seeing this man being led away by Lin Meng!
Fearing another rejection from Rong Ling, Li Lanqiu pretended to be jealous and snorted. "You're so eager to go after her yourself. Could it be that you're worried about her That she's more important to you than me!"
She raised an eyebrow deliberately, eyeing Rong Ling with displeasure.
She just hit me, you know You didn't stay to comfort me, but went after her instead. Where am I supposed to put my face now I bet Lin Meng will laugh at me when she gets back, saying that I'm nothing compared to her! It's so unfair -
Changing faces again, with a tearful expression. "Don't treat me like this, I'll be heartbroken."
Rong Ling's goosebumps were about to pop out!
What did this woman eat She's gone from being so lovable to such a disgusting person!
He held back, for the greater good, he let this slide and didn't pursue it. Instead, he had Xiaolu call people to chase after them separately, to bring Lin Meng back. Wherever Jiang Chifeng could take Lin Meng, it must be his workplace, temporary residence, or the Jiang family estate.
He made this arrangement, which truly made Li Lanqiu very satisfied. This completely confirmed his own judgment in his heart that she, Li Lanqiu, was much more important than Lin Meng.
Look, she just pouted a little and stopped Rong Ling!
Her confidence soared. After the nurse treated her face and applied medicine, she boldly made her demands.
"Well, since Lin Meng knows everything now, why don't you take me home The hospital is so cold and empty, it's no fun at all."
She was incredibly bold, treating Rong Ling's home as her own. Rong Ling must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to even consider letting such a woman back into his house. He quickly came up with an excellent excuse to appease her for now.
"Your body is still very weak, why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days Otherwise, I can't rest assured."
If you're concerned, the sweet Lee Lanqiu blushed slightly and said shyly.
"Actually, I feel much better now and can be discharged from the hospital."
"Be good, just stay in the hospital for a little longer observation, okay To ease my worries, alright"
His deep gaze, fixed entirely on her, left Li Lanqiu feeling entranced. She nodded involuntarily. Once she came to her senses, a wave of regret washed over her, but the words to ask him to return home with her wouldn't come out. All she could do was suppress her feelings and wait until tomorrow to bring it up.
Later on, news came from Xiaolu's side, and it was very bad!
They searched everywhere but couldn't find Lin Meng, nor any trace of Jiang Chengfeng!
This is worrying!
Rong Ling could no longer bear it. No matter how important the task, nothing compared to the danger of losing his wife!
"I have to go find him myself!" Rong Ling stood up, his mind made up. "Jiang Chengfeng must be up to something. Lin Meng can't be tricked by him, or else, I'll suffer a huge loss."
Li Lanqiu was naturally unhappy, but Rong Ling didn't care about her feelings this time.
"I'm doing this for the greater good, for Uncle Three and Qiuqiu. You need to understand me and support me!"
It seems that if she persisted any further, she would be being unreasonable! His stern gaze also made it clear that his indulgence towards her had reached its limit. That look forced Li Lanqiu to stop trying to dissuade him. A woman who is unreasonable is easy to dislike for a man, and she didn't want Rong Ling to resent her. So, she quickly changed her persona, acting like a devoted little woman who would sacrifice everything for her husband's career, allowing him to leave with peace of mind to handle his business. She would be obedient and even softly persuaded him to be more careful, telling him to keep her informed if anything happened so that she wouldn't worry.
Is she worried!
This is really laughable!
The only thing she would worry about is the influence Lin Meng might have on him!
Rong Ling had it figured out. She simply hummed softly, then strode away.
This made Li Lanqiu feel the urgency of what she had to do. She had to prove her worth as soon as possible, to suppress Lin Meng and get ahead of her. She couldn't stand Rong Ling's tension towards Lin Meng. At the same time, she secretly hoped that Jiang Chengfeng would hide Lin Meng well, so Rong Ling wouldn't find her. Or perhaps, Lin Meng had hooked up with Jiang Chengfeng directly, so even if Rong Ling found her, she wouldn't want her!
Will everything go her way
She began to pray devoutly, praying to God!ments were graceful and natural. The necklace trembled not in her hand, a testament to her inner peace. She took the box with one hand and returned the necklace with the other. Her actions were elegan...
