aid supplies quickly, called for an ambulance immediately, and dispatched others to prepare their own vehicle. It was too late; waiting for the ambulance would be pointless. They had to get her to a...Of course, it was inevitable that at such an important occasion, Lin Meng, who is his rightful wife, would be absent. Instead, a person whose name was unknown and unfamiliar stood beside Rong Ling, smiling coyly and seeming quite pleased with herself. This is certainly something worth pondering about.

Could it be that Rong Ling's marriage is in trouble! Is another high-profile divorce drama about to unfold so soon after their wedding!

Although Rong Ling's explanation to the public was that his wife wasn't feeling well, so he found another companion, but looking at how that companion practically hung on him with such sweetness and intimacy, it's hard to believe they weren't having an affair.

Therefore, many people began to speculate, what on earth happened! Who is this mysterious woman Where does she come from Could she be even more capable than Lin Meng! Or perhaps, she's the offspring of some high-ranking official!

A multitude of eyes, darting back and forth, swept across Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu responded with the sweetest smile she could muster.

Tonight, she finally felt what it meant to be the moon surrounded by stars. The envious and jealous glances from other women gave her a feeling of indescribable satisfaction. Even the various looks cast upon her by other men made her feel a thrill of excitement. This was the mistress of the Rong family, this was power, and she had to have it.

Everything was so wonderful, effortlessly, she replaced Lin Meng, the rightful wife, and appeared at such a grand occasion, walking among the nobles. If only the aura of the man beside her wasn't so cold, if only the Rong family weren't so indifferent...

However, she figured this must be the Rong family. They all seemed to have a bit of pride in their bones.

It wasn't what she expected. Du Caiyi, who had been the mistress of Rong's household before, actually gave her a good face and even made advances. This overjoyed her. If she could gain her approval, she could learn a lot from her, which would be very helpful for her to successfully fulfill the role of mistress.

So, having stayed by Rong Ling's side and met many people, she had indeed made a name for herself. Then, she walked over to Du Caiyi. She knew there were some contradictions between Rong Ling and Du Caiyi, but she thought it wouldn't prevent her from getting closer to Du Caiyi and learning from her. To perfectly integrate into high society, she still needed a guide. Du Caiyi, as this guide, was absolutely the most suitable choice. Just look at this situation, with so many female relatives surrounding Du Caiyi, you could tell.

As for Rong Ling, she could justify her actions afterward by claiming that she was simply learning from Du Caiyi in order to better help his career development. She had the confidence that she could get away with this in front of Rong Ling.

After Li Lanqiu walked away alone, Rong Qi, who had been enduring for a long time, immediately stepped forward and motioned to Rong Ling to go aside. Rong Ling followed him to a corner. Although Rong Qi's expression remained unchanged on the surface, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

What's the matter with bringing this woman here Where's Lin Meng

She doesn't feel well!

"Don't play games with me. I can see she's perfectly healthy. Why isn't she sick earlier or later, but now Besides, it's not even a serious illness, just a little discomfort, and she can't attend such an event Look at the woman you brought! She's embarrassing!"

Rongshen is known for his outspoken criticism.

In such situations, just any woman can't possibly handle it! You don't have the guts, nor the intelligence. You simply aren't cut out for this kind of place, and in the end, you'll only end up making a fool of yourself.

Look at what this woman is saying as soon as she opens her mouth. She claims that she persuaded Rong Ling to return to the Rong family. She can't even hold on for a moment before starting to take credit, it's simply embarrassing. In the eyes of people like him who have seen the world, they will only find her superficial. If she hadn't said anything, he might have looked at her a few more times. But she rushed to say it, which made him completely look down on her.

She looks like she's never seen the world before!

And that undisguised look of triumph, it's really laughable. In such a situation, the woman standing beside Rong Ling should be confident and composed, radiating calmness from within and captivating everyone with her presence. Instead, she acts like this, strutting around like a hen who just flew onto a branch for the first time, so eager to show off that everyone can see!

Okay!

This is simply too cheap!

Such a woman, if she went outside, would be snatched up by anyone. What was Rong Ling thinking, bringing such a woman here!

"Before the dinner starts formally, get Lin Meng over here quickly. What's this woman doing standing here"

He was also burning with anger inside. That woman didn't come home late at night and stayed at Xiao Yi's place instead. The two young men went out to get her back, but they couldn't bring her back. How could this not make him anxious and angry You're still staying at another man's place late at night, which is a big problem. He even wanted to tear off his suit and go straight to Xiao Yi's place to beat him up!

Let him flirt with other people's wives!

What a nerve!

Damn it, he's stuck here!

"She doesn't feel well!" he replied gruffly.

This made her appear even more suspicious in Rong Qi's eyes.

A thought crossed his mind, and he asked, "Is Lin Meng still angry at home, so she's giving me the cold shoulder and not coming!"

He remained silent.

"Rong Qi continued, "Tell her that it's not worth making a fuss in this situation. If she's upset, she can keep it to herself and let it out later. But tonight's banquet is very important to her, and if she doesn't come, she will definitely lose out significantly. She's smart, you tell her what I said, she'll definitely come!"

Rong Ling understood and was grateful to Rong Qi for defending Lin Meng, but the bitterness and helplessness in his heart were something he couldn't possibly tell him.

She really doesn't feel well.

He didn't want to argue with Rong Qi any longer, as there would be no result anyway. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pour wine, he left directly. Rong Qi watched from behind, feeling angry in his heart, but couldn't express it. He just felt that these young people were too rambunctious! When he turned his head and saw Li Lanqiu getting close to Du Caiyi affectionately, he felt truly disgusted. Immediately, he turned away and went to greet other people.

He greeted a few people and quickly left the hall, disappearing behind several tall trees. Taking out his phone, he glanced at the latest update from his subordinates, saying that Lin Meng was still at Xiao Yi's house. His heart was on fire. He picked up the champagne and drank it straight down without feeling particularly thirsty. Instead, he felt the fire in his heart burning even hotter. Staring into the darkness ahead, his eyes were cold and piercing.

Suddenly, a voice broke his deep thoughts.

"Hi, Rongling!"

The familiar voice immediately triggered a figure in Rong Ling's mind, along with all his data. This was an instinctive reaction honed over long periods of training.

He turned away, all his emotions hidden from view.

"Liu Jun, you're here!"

Mingguang Hospital's young master, Liu Jun, is the place where Lin Meng stayed in the hospital and visited many times. At the same time, Li Lanqiu's last hospitalization was also his family's hospital.

Rong Ling and his friend get along well.

The last time Li Lanqiu was hospitalized, he had Liu Jun help him hide that woman. He didn't want some nosy reporters to barge in. It's just a pity, his elaborate plan still fell apart due to an accident.

However, all of that is in the past!

Liu Jun's character was as bright and clear as his appearance.

He chuckled.

"I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to hide here. You're the star of this event, hiding away like this is a major disappointment!"

"It's just taking a breath, then going in."

"Heh heh, rare to see you still have breath in your body, Rong Ling!"

"I'm not a steel man!"

Liu Jun sized Rong Ling up without changing his expression. Seeing the empty wine glass in his hand, he had a slight understanding. Thinking about what he had just seen, he boldly smiled and joked.

To be honest, Rong Ling, this time I can't understand you at all!

"How do you say that"

"Why would you choose an artificial beauty over a genuine one That's not like you at all. Real flowers will always be superior to fake ones. If you prefer the artificial, there are plenty of options for you—slim and beautiful, chosen to your liking—why go through so much trouble"

That heart of his, instantly stirred up a tempestuous wave. Liu Jun's words struck him, causing a moment of blankness in his mind. Thankfully, he had cultivated himself for many years and managed to suppress his emotions. His usual aloof expression made him appear enigmatic and imperturbable.

Liu Jun just smiled and, as a friend, advised him.

"Now, this woman can play however she wants because she has money. But, in formal situations, we still have to be a bit mindful, don't we! Rong Ling, I think you're awfully foolish today!"

Saying that, he laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Rong Ling recovered, suppressing the tumultuous waves in her heart, and said in a normal tone.

I didn't realize she had plastic surgery!

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter again. “It seems you’re not omnipotent after all, hehe. But it's not surprising. You, this new woman, had your plastic surgery done very skillfully and some time ago, so it's normal that ordinary people haven't noticed. But here with me, you know I specialize in plastic surgery. Thousands upon thousands of women have gone through my hands, so any little bit you've touched up on your body doesn't escape my eyes!”

“What did she do” Rong Ling feigned interest, but in reality, his heart plummeted. The worst possible outcome seemed to be coming true. He really didn't want to think this way, but dammit, his intuition was always right!

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and replied.

“Her facial features have changed a lot, not all at once. The furthest procedure was probably three or four years ago, and the most recent one was about half a year ago. In short, her face has been altered too many times. I'm telling you, brother, you should ditch this kind of woman as soon as possible. Don't be fooled by how beautiful she looks now, because who knows what she looked like before If you saw a picture of her from back then, you might feel sick to your stomach – it's really uncomfortable!”

As he spoke, he gave a slight shimmy that perfectly accompanied his words.

What he said is actually exaggerating a bit. After all, becoming a beauty through plastic surgery requires that the original face must be passable to begin with. And Li Lanqiu's face can make most people unable to tell if she's had plastic surgery, naturally indicating that her original foundation is pretty good. However, Liu Jun has a good impression of Lin Meng, so he's willing to slander Li Lanqiu.

Rong Ling's eyes flashed, and he asked in a teasing tone, "So she's changed quite a bit compared to before, huh"

"You could say that," Liu Jun replied casually.

Rong Ling showed the displeasure one should normally exhibit, his face darkening. He pressed, "Have there been any other places touched"

"Other places just stare like that, it's nothing. As for what's underneath the clothes..."

Liu Jun innocently shrugged his shoulders at Rong Ling's gaze, and stopped talking. To continue would only lead to heartache.

Rong Ling fell silent.

Liu Jun, seeing him like this, picked up the champagne in his hand, swirled it gently, and took a light sip. He asked softly.

"I'm just curious, what's this woman's story" After a slight twinkle in his peach blossom eyes, he immediately added, "Of course, if it's not convenient, you don't have to answer. I'm just genuinely curious!"

After all, being able to bring someone like Rong Ling out in such a situation, they must have a huge background!

Rong Ling didn't answer, which was a silent refusal.

Liu Jun told him things that were too shocking, he needed to digest them properly. Seeing his reaction, Liu Jun also felt like there was nothing more to say. He held up his cup and proposed a short break.

Rong Ling inexplicably said something.

Thank you.

Liu Jun's pair of peach blossom eyes immediately sparkled. He didn't leave, instead he turned his body and looked towards Rong Ling.

"This is considered me a favor, right"

This person is always scheming and will never miss an opportunity to benefit themselves. It's rare to hear Rong Ling say thank you, so he definitely has to make the most of it.

Seeing him like this, Rong Ling nodded.

"Alright, I owe you one."

Later, he'd still have to have a good talk with him, and he wouldn't be able to get by without his help.

"By the way, about her plastic surgery, please keep it a secret for me!"

That's no problem.

Liu Jun smiled, his response unusually casual. This was because he was currently thrilled by Rong Ling's words, "I owe you one." Rong Ling's favor wasn't easy to earn. If he could truly get it, it would be a huge win. He recalled the repayment Rong Ling had given him four years ago for owing him a favor because of Lin Meng. Thinking about it now made him feel incredibly satisfied. Sure enough, Lin Meng was truly his lucky goddess.

Since he had already owed this person a favor, he couldn't keep it too hidden anymore. Liu Jun subtly hinted at it.

"By the way, you should keep a closer eye on your own wife. You don't want someone else to run off with her!"

A cold and sharp glint appeared in Rong Ling's eyes.

"What does that mean" he stared straight at Liu Jun.

Liu Jun played a trick.

"Just go in and see for yourself."

Then, her peach blossom eyes glittered, and she went into the hall in a good mood.

Rong Ling wasn't in the mood to dwell on this internal turmoil. She immediately followed Liu Jun and went inside.

As soon as he stepped into the brightly lit banquet hall, he immediately sensed that the atmosphere was different from when he had left. There was a subtle agitation, buzzing around him. The overall mood in the hall seemed charged and heated.

He cast his sharp eyes around, following the gaze of many people, until he landed on a pair, then paused slightly.

It's Xiao Yi!

How is this him!

This man, he must have pulled some strings to get in here. There's no way he was supposed to be on the guest list!

How could he be here! What is he doing here! Is he here to do business! What about his own men, how come they didn't report this Xiao Yi appearing here means he left very early, but why didn't his men report it!

Xiao Yi's appearance was handsome, and he had that unrestrained and dissolute air about him. Standing there, he naturally had a lot of presence. It was no wonder that everyone was paying attention to him. His gaze swept slightly over the woman he brought with him. The woman had her back to him, so her face couldn't be seen. All that could be seen was her long, wavy curls and, beneath the curls, her completely exposed beautiful back, which almost showed off her entire back. The A-shaped cut made the whole black floor-length gown start from her shoulders and cut down, revealing her entire white back all the way to her hips before tapering off.

She is a sexy woman, look at her figure, she must be a beauty!

But that wasn't Lin Meng, so he had nothing to do with it!

He let out a breath and shifted his gaze, continuing to search. Liu Jun must have seen or heard something to say such words; it couldn't have been idle chatter.

His mind raced, and suddenly, something exploded in his heart. He was startled as if struck by lightning, jerking his face away and fixing his gaze, like two arrows, on the beautiful woman from before!

Not her, not her!

Thinking to himself, but he couldn't control his feet anymore, nor could he control the angry look that had sprung up in his eyes!

Apparently, some people had been waiting all morning for the show to begin. So when Rong Chao walked towards that alluring woman, a ripple of excitement went through the hall before everything fell silent. It was so quiet it felt eerie.

And the woman, it seemed, also sensed this, so she turned her head slightly.

Thus, Rong Ling also saw half of the woman's face.

Just the side profile, that tiny curve, was enough to make him want to swear!

Damn it, that woman!

She's eaten a lion's heart!

He stared at her snow-white back, only feeling that paleness, vividly stabbing his eyes. Just a moment ago, he thought this woman was really bold, using this way to stand out. But now, he felt a fire in his body, angry enough to make him explode.

This is his woman!

His woman!

Look at her, she's dressed like a ghost!

Let so many people eat ice cream for free!

This is just awful!

Look at what she's wearing, can that even be called clothes! Her entire back is exposed! It's not a form-fitting design at all, her slender waist is in constant danger of showing. Especially those soft, fluttering pieces of fabric on the sides, they look like folded wings just waiting to unfurl and reveal her alluring, serpentine waist.

He could be 100% certain that at least half the men in the room wanted to reach for her lower back with those damn wolf claws. Her back, as smooth as ice jade, was flawless. Under the light, it even emitted a soft, lustrous glow—a temptation beyond compare for any man. And don't even get him started on that damn alluring waistline of hers! It invited anyone to grab her slender waist and follow that curve down, through the thin fabric, into the forbidden zone, taking full control of that sexy little ass!

That's just awful!

He was just thinking this, when he felt heat surging through his body. Then, anger flared even hotter within him!
