078

ere all there, as if collectively witnessing you kissing me, me kissing you. Thus, our love affair seemed public, as if it had received everyone's blessing. The movie soundtrack coming from the speake...Chapter Name: 078

Teacher Ni had taught so many classes of students, sending batches and batches of high school seniors off. She naturally knew any wind or grass movement in the campus. What's more, this time's protagonist was a student in her class. This person, if it wasn't Lin Meng, then Teacher Ni wouldn't have been so worried even if it were another student. She could directly talk to that student and use various methods to get that student to confess honestly, and then immediately stop any potentially bad behavior. If that student disobeyed, she could naturally issue a warning or disciplinary action, and at that time, calling the parents would also be inevitable.

But this time, the one who messed up was Lin Meng!

This girl, whenever Ms. Ni thought about her, she would get a headache. When Lin Meng first entered school, she was assigned to her class. Looking at this girl's beauty that was simply too much, Ms. Ni felt worried in her heart, fearing that there would be constant small and big troubles in the future. Luckily, this girl was well-behaved and never caused any trouble. What was even more remarkable was that this girl's grades were also very good, consistently ranking within the top 100 in the entire grade. Just this point made Ms. Ni very fond of her, thinking that this girl was truly extraordinary. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also intelligent and well-behaved.

Well, it seems things have gone wrong again! Perhaps she should have been more cautious when the bra incident happened. Teacher Ni understands Lin Meng's situation well. Every homeroom teacher has this remarkable ability to know their students' family situations very clearly. So, under those circumstances, the Lin family was unlikely to be able to get any big figures involved to put an end to the bra incident. Furthermore, the principal at the time had specifically instructed the teachers who knew about it not to mention a word.

Anyone who could make the principal of No. 4 Middle School treat them like that must be incredibly powerful. Having been a homeroom teacher for so many years, she had encountered all kinds of parents and heard countless stories. She knew there were many things in this world that were hard to explain. At that moment, she vaguely guessed something!

Today, rumors about Lin Meng being kept by someone have been spreading through the school. Is it finally… coming to light Although the principal is a busy man of status, he should at least have heard some whispers! After all, this girl was given special care by him not long ago. However, there has been no movement from the principal's side. Teacher Ni knows that the person behind Lin Meng is powerful and dangerous, one not to be messed with. But this matter always needs an explanation, a reason. After all, she is Lin Meng’s homeroom teacher. When a student has problems, the most directly responsible person is the homeroom teacher!

Lin Meng shouted, "Report!" interrupting Teacher Ni's thoughts. She immediately stood up and walked towards Lin Meng with a kind smile.

"Lin Meng ah, you're here!"

Lin dreamed this, and stood still on the spot, not moving.

Teacher Ni kept walking and when she reached her, she whispered, "Let's talk!"

Saying that, he took Lin Meng to the psychologist's office again.

Teacher Ni first asked Lin Meng about her recent study situation, which seemed to be the opening remark every teacher had before talking heart-to-heart with their students. Then, the topic shifted, and her face became somewhat stern.

"Lin Meng, your teacher knows that you've been unwell, but not saying anything and skipping class for two days straight isn't good. It affects the other students around you!"

Lin Meng lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." This apology was genuine.

Mr. Ni hummed in response and then asked, "But what happened at home Why didn't you say anything before skipping class!"

"It's alright, Lin Meng already has an excuse ready. 'I wasn't feeling well so I didn't come. My family... uh, my parents might be too busy and forgot to ask the teacher for leave.'"

"Oh!" Teacher Ni lengthened her voice and suddenly asked, "Is it really that your parents are too busy! Or, have you already moved out of your house, so your parents have no time to care about you!"

This statement is quite sharp. Teacher Ni turned to this aspect in such a short time, which shows that he is also a capable person.

Lin Meng's heart tightened, and she forced herself to continue listening to Teacher Ni. "Teacher, it's like this, I had pneumonia last time, and the doctor advised me to take good care of myself. And then, the environment at home wasn't very good, so... I moved out from home and moved to... a relative's place!"

Mrs. Ni raised an eyebrow, noticing the girl's face flushed slightly and her head bowed slightly as she replied. Based on her years of experience sparring with students, Mrs. Ni guessed that what the girl was saying might not be entirely true. But who cared! All she wanted was a plausible explanation to share publicly.

Don't look at this as just a school, lauded by the outside world as a temple of learning, the only remaining pure land in society. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In this school, office politics and intrigue have never been absent. When evaluating outstanding teachers, who doesn't step on others When vying for special-grade teacher positions, who doesn't step on others The other teachers in the office are all watching her now! If Lin Meng encounters problems, as her homeroom teacher, she will also be held accountable. All of this will become a tool for competitors to suppress her in the future. Without giving an explanation, those teachers' gazes and words could drown her.

Those teachers are also stupid, this Lin Meng, could she still be the previous Lin Meng! The big shot behind her, could it be someone easily offended! She wouldn't be foolish, seizing this mistake-making Lin Meng to start establishing a precedent and paving her own way to fame!

For this matter, Teacher Ni has already made up her mind and intends to muddle through it!

“Well, I see. “ Teacher Ni smiled faintly. "I heard you moved out of your house before, and the teacher was quite worried. I thought maybe you weren't feeling well. Well, you had pneumonia before, so you really need to take some time to rest. It's best to find a quiet place with good greening around it, that way the air will be better too, which is also good for your body!”

This is a roundabout way of hinting to Lin Meng. Since Lin Meng gave the excuse of moving for better medical care, then the place she moves to must be better than her current home, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. If it falls into the eyes of someone with ill intentions, it could cause trouble.

Lin Meng's heart leaped with joy. Seeing that Teacher Ni believed her, she naturally nodded repeatedly. "Well, this place is pretty good now, the greenery is especially nice!"

She should be grateful that Rong Ling brought her to places like these well-equipped residential areas, every single one better than her original home.

Mr. Ni nodded, thinking to himself that the person behind Lin Meng was indeed thoughtful. This way is good, this way is good!

She then asked, "Teacher also heard that last Sunday, you told a man to support you. Is that true"

Lin Meng's hand trembled, afraid that Teacher Ni would notice, and immediately squeezed it tight. Her heart was pounding wildly. She gritted her teeth secretly, suppressing the panic, and looked up, smiling naturally and replying, "Teacher, it's like this, that man is my relative, um, my cousin. The house I'm living in now belongs to their family!"

Note, it is they, not he!

Teacher Ni smiled faintly and echoed, "Oh, so it's your relative. Well, well…"

At this point, Teacher Ni was also willing to turn a blind eye. Whether this cousin was genuine or not wasn't something she needed to worry about.

“Alright, Lin Meng,” Teacher Ni smiled slightly and said seriously, “There have been some unfavorable rumors about you at school these past two days. I think it would be best if you had your parents come to the school and explain your situation. That way, those rumors will naturally fade away.”

After communicating with her parents, if anything were to happen again, Ms. Ni firmly believes she wouldn't be held responsible for much!

Lin Meng nodded, thinking to herself that she would discuss it with Rong Ling tonight. She believed it shouldn't be difficult to convince her parents to come to the school!

Everything is finally settled, and both parties are happy.

Lin Meng returned to the classroom, and Teacher Ni went back to her office. Soon, Teacher Qian came over to ask about what had happened. Teacher Ni briefly recounted her conversation with Lin Meng. The other teachers were not as excited when they heard this. After all, getting sick and moving was understandable, especially since she was going to a relative's house. Besides, Lin Meng's parents were coming to the school tomorrow! The teachers found it uninteresting and dispersed one by one.

As for what happened next, Zhu Xiaomeng and Yang Haohang asked Lin Meng again, but Lin Meng always gave the same answer. This time, Lin Meng deliberately didn't avoid other classmates and intentionally raised her voice, saying this under the circumstances of other classmates being around. Soon, there were two completely different versions about whether Lin Meng was being kept afloat within the school. Luckily, the rumors against Lin Meng didn't become one-sided.

This actually really has to be attributed to Sun Papan, even though she only gave a little reminder.

Lin Meng paid back the money. Seeing that Sun Panpan seemed to really like potato chips, she bought her two more bags as a gift, claiming it was "interest" on the money she owed. After that, they didn't get in touch much. After all, the negative rumors about her hadn't completely disappeared. Yang Haoqing's anger earlier made Lin Meng realize that because of being "kept," those close to her seemed to be tarnished as well. Therefore, even though she had a good feeling towards Sun Panpan at this time, it was absolutely not suitable to befriend her right now.

Let's just wait for things to cool down first!

Though Lin Meng was still a bit worried, worried about these gossips that troubled her endlessly, she secretly hoped they would disappear soon. But she also felt a little excitement, she felt as if she had won a small victory!

At noon, she didn't go to eat because Jiang Po Lang pulled her classmate Ma Hou over and said he had something to tell her.

Jiang PoLang was both eager and furious. He was used to picking up Lin Meng every morning and going to school with her. When Monday came, he didn't pick up Lin Meng, but he couldn't get any useful information from Lin Zi's mouth. All he knew was that she had moved out. This made him angry. He felt the Lin family was irresponsible. How could they simply arrange their youngest daughter to live alone Lin Meng was so young; would it be suitable for her to live alone He couldn't hold back, he was fidgeting, and then he called his brother to ask him to investigate what was going on.

He believed in his brother's abilities, and Jiang Chengfeng did not disappoint his expectations.

Soon, Jiang Chengfeng found out where Lin Meng was. He felt a mixture of disappointment, heartache, and mostly, anger. A father could do this, it made him "admire" him. Following Rong Ling's Lin Meng, he felt powerless to stop him.

It's too late, probably.

Jiang Cheng felt it was time to tell his younger brother about Lin Meng. Otherwise, he would only sink deeper and deeper, which would be truly unfortunate! The two brothers talked all night, and Jiang Bolan's face turned pale with shock!

His heart was filled with anger, resentment, jealousy, sadness, and regret... all sorts of emotions. After two days of reflection, what remained in his heart was mostly pity for Lin Meng and anger. It was contradictory, wasn't it! But Lin Meng had gotten into such a situation and hadn't even considered coming to him for help. How could Jiang Po浪 not be angry! He felt that Lin Meng didn't treat him as a real friend. Could it be that all these days, they went to school together, sometimes even ate together, were just like the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water!

"Why don't you come find me!" Jiang Po-lang looked at Lin Meng. His usually sunny face was now covered in dark clouds, gloomy and tinged with a faint melancholy. At this moment, the two stood in a corner of the playground, under the watchful eyes of everyone. They weren't afraid that other students would spread rumors because of this. This was Jiang Po-lang's thoughtfulness and care. Even though he was angry and anxious, he still maintained his rationality, trying not to cause trouble for Lin Meng at this time!

Lin Meng was stunned. She hadn't expected Jiang Po Lang to open his mouth with such a sentence. She... didn't quite understand how much Jiang Po Lang knew, nor did she know what he meant by saying this!

She shook her head and smiled faintly: "What are you talking about It makes no sense!"

Jiang Po浪's eyes were filled with sadness. How could this girl still smile She was pushed to this point, an ordinary girl shouldn't hide and cry, how could she still smile!

Jiang Po Lang felt heartache, but there was still no lack of anger.

“I know everything you’ve been doing, so don’t try to hide it from me.” Jiang Po浪 clenched his fists in anger. “Why would you go looking for Rong Ling What kind of man is he How could you possibly get involved with him! You…had difficulties, why didn’t you come to me! I…although I’m just a student, but I…still have some connections. I haven’t told you, but actually my father is the deputy director of the provincial government, very influential. I can help you with your situation!”

Jiang Po浪 bit his teeth and stared at her, his eyes bloodshot with regret. He regretted why he didn't tell this girl about his identity sooner. Before, he didn't want to say it because he wanted an equal and friendly relationship with this girl. It was just that some of his friends before were specifically coming towards him because he was the son of a deputy director. He didn't want Lin Meng to get close to him for such reasons. However, he never expected that this time, because of his concealment, he couldn't help Lin Meng at the critical moment. But, as long as Lin Meng told him about her affairs, he could tell everything! Why didn't Lin Meng tell him!

Lin Meng was a little surprised that Jiang Po's father turned out to be an official. However, she wasn't very familiar with her country's government system, and she didn't quite understand what the concept of deputy director was. With a smile, Lin Meng let out a low sigh. "What's there to tell you They are all embarrassing things, I wouldn't dare to say them!"

Now standing before Jiang Po-lang, she felt embarrassed. Such a thing, to say it out loud… how could...how could it be glorious! She even wished she could bury those things well, deep beneath the ground thirty thousand feet down.

Jiang Po-lang was stunned for a moment, then replied with difficulty. “But… but I thought you and I were… friends! When you’re in trouble, you shouldn’t hide it from me. Doing this makes me feel… very uncomfortable, as if you didn’t treat me as a real friend at all!”

Lin Meng blinked in surprise, a hint of apology in her heart. "A-Lang, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to think this way. About those things, I... I really thought it was too embarrassing, so I didn't say anything. Not just you, I didn't tell anyone else either, so please don't mind it, okay!"

A gentle explanation made Jiang Po's heart feel a little better.

“Mengmeng, that…don’t keep entangled with Rong Ling anymore. Student...student…” He suddenly blushed, he wasn’t a young boy anymore, naturally understanding the nature of their dealings. He could imagine everything, making him both blush and feel envious.

"Students... then you should study hard. You... just don't follow Rong Ling anymore. Talk to him clearly, leave him. Your father's side, I... I'll have my father talk to your father!"

Lin Meng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "This... can it work!"

Jiang Po waved suddenly brimming with confidence, raising an eyebrow and speaking loudly. "How is it not possible! Your father's actions, if thoroughly investigated, would be...would be illegal! My father being a public security officer and talking to your father, that...that was also giving your father face!"

If this wasn't Lin Meng's father, according to Jiang Po Lang's idea, he would have his father directly arrest that bastard Lin Bao and put him in jail!

Lin Mengxin's heart skipped a beat, a slight excitement surged through her. It turned out that Jiang Po浪's father could still play such a role. But this excitement only lasted for a moment before vanishing instantly. Instead, a faint bitterness arose in her mind!

It's late, it's too late!

She has already talked to Rong Ling about leaving, and the result is out!

She, can't leave him!

"I can't do this anymore…" she whispered softly, her voice barely a murmur.

Although the waves crashed, he still caught it at his ear.

"How is that not possible!" he exclaimed, raising his eyebrows. "I said it's okay, so it's okay!"

Her mind was racing, she didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Po浪.

Jiang Po's eyes rolled, and suddenly he became angry. "Was it Rong Ling who forced you, preventing you from leaving! Damn it!" He clenched his fist and punched the air hard. "Who does he think he is, daring to lay his hands on a minor girl! Even if he's Rong Ling, I dare to have him arrested!"

Lin Meng's heart tightened. She immediately thought of Jiang Po Lang's earlier words about jail time! She wasn't familiar with the laws of her own country, but since Jiang Po Lang's dad was a public security officer, what he said shouldn't be wrong. So, would Rong Ling be arrested and sent to jail!

Lin Meng's heart pounded. She bit her lip and whispered, "No!" She couldn't capture him!

Jiang Po waved, frowning and snorted angrily. "Lin Meng, what are you talking about!"

"Me..." Lin Meng panicked, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and anxiety. He was such a person, so full of vigor and confidence, looking down at everything else as if he owned it all. How could he possibly end up in jail! She couldn't even begin to imagine it! And what if it was because of her that he suffered this fate...

Lin Meng's heart clenched suddenly, a sharp pain stabbing through her.

"Arlan, no, please don't do this!" she pleaded with eyes full of hope.

Jiang Po浪's face changed, and he was furious. "Mengmeng, Lin Meng, I think you're crazy! You're actually defending that man, are you stupid"

“I…,” Lin Meng was speechless for a moment. She bit her lip, her heart pounding. Her dark eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Jiang Po浪. “Anyway, this...this has nothing to do with Rong Ling. It's...me who went to him. You...you absolutely cannot mess with him. If we are friends, you have to listen to me!”

"Bang!"

Jiang Po Lang stamped his foot furiously, managing to leave a small dent in the hard yellow earth. Looking at Lin Meng, his anger and disappointment were already difficult to conceal.

"What on earth are you doing! Are you going to help him! Or, are you going to cover for him!" His eyes were blazing with fury.

Lin Meng furrowed her brow, looking at the furious Jiang Po浪 helplessly.

Jiang Po Lang saw her like this and gritted his teeth angrily. "Fine, I'll consider you a friend and agree not to pursue Rong Ling. However, if you want to be my friend, move out of Rong Ling's place immediately!"

"Me…" Lin Meng bit her lip, for a moment, her head felt full. She knew Jiang Po Lang was doing this for her good, and he was indeed helping her, but…but the timing was all wrong. She was about to be driven mad with worry! If Jiang Po Lang had said this two days earlier, she would have been over the moon. But she had just made an invisible contract with Rong Ling!

That person, Rong Ling, is arrogant, domineering, and tyrannical. If she dared to bring up leaving him again, Rong Ling would definitely go crazy, maybe he could even grab her neck and strangle her to death! That man, when he truly gets serious, doesn't care about the other person's life or death. Just look at how ferociously he fought with Xiao Yi that day! Plus, she had just lied to their homeroom teacher, saying she was moving in with her cousin. If she agreed to Jiang Po Lang, then Teacher Ni would definitely know she was lying. Then, how could she face Teacher Ni!

Lin Meng clutched her head in frustration, impulsively wanting to rip out her hair.

Jiang Po waved his hand impatiently. "Just say something!"

He was almost driven mad by jealousy. What had Rong Ling given Lin Meng that made her protect him, not to mention hesitating about moving out That bastard deserved to die! Even if his family was powerful, Jiang Po浪 decided he had to make Rong Ling pay, otherwise, he couldn't bear it!

Lin Meng frowned sadly.

Jiang Po浪's face darkened, and he sneered bitterly: "It seems I was too arrogant. I thought of you as a friend, but you didn't even treat me like one!"

"Hey, that's not right!" Lin Meng anxiously argued, "You... you have to let me think about it properly!"

Now, everything is in chaos. She doesn't know what to do!

"What's there to think about!" Jiang Po Lang scoffed, displeasure evident in his tone.

"Ai!" Lin Meng frowned and sighed, looking at Jiang PoLang. Her fair face was etched with worry. "Things...aren't that simple. I... If I really left Rong Ling, then... can you guarantee my safety! Your father's words, can they... actually work!"

In this situation, if she leaves Rong Ling without a 100% guarantee, she's really courting disaster. She can be sure that if she proposes leaving again, Rong Ling will definitely never care about her again. A man like him has always been autocratic and inherently rejects the refusal of others. His arrogant pride doesn't allow her to repeatedly challenge him. Then, when she is forced to follow her father's arrangements again, she won't be able to rely on Rong Ling anymore! At that time, if Rong Ling doesn't take advantage of her misfortune, she should shout "Long live" three times!

After spending some time together, Lin Meng could still get a general sense of Rong Ling's personality!

Jiang Po浪 heard this and his face stiffened. After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "Well, I'll try my best to persuade my father." Although his father was high-ranking, Jiang Po浪 couldn't guarantee at the moment that he could completely suppress Lin Bao! He still had to talk to his father about it first!

Lin Meng shook her head and smiled dazedly. "I'd rather not!"

Jiang Po Lang frowned, gritted his teeth, thought for a while, then said, "Go eat first. I'll think about it carefully. When I figure it out, I'll find you. Remember, you absolutely cannot be with Rong Ling!"

His attitude was very firm!

Lin Meng pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't say anything more. She nodded and went towards the dining hall.

Over there, Jiang Po浪 scratched his head and immediately wore a look of worry.

When Lin Meng went to the dining hall, it was a bit late, and most people had already finished eating and left. There weren't many people in the dining hall, and it seemed a little quieter. Lin Meng directly got her food, so she didn't have to queue up. She found a seat and sat down. After a while, very abruptly, a girl carrying a tray stood beside her.

Lin Meng looked up and saw a girl about her height smile at her.

"Can I sit here" the girl asked, rather abruptly.

The restaurant isn't very crowded now, there are plenty of empty seats. When it's busy, it's hard to find a place, and it's normal for strangers to eat together. But look at Lin Meng, there are empty seats all around her!

But, Lin Meng still smiled and nodded in agreement. She would rarely refuse a request unless it was absolutely necessary.

The pretty girl with a slender figure sat right across from Lin Meng and picked up her chopsticks, starting to eat. Lin Meng noticed that the dishes on her plate were very simple, or in other words, extremely cheap, just like his own. But none of this really mattered to him, so Lin Meng buried his head and ate in silence.

But the girl, after taking a few bites, suddenly said, "My name is Su Xue, I'm in Class Eight, Grade One. Can we be friends!"

Class 8 was Lin Meng's neighbor. Emotionally, for this kind of brother-sister class, Lin Meng also had that hazy feeling of kinship. At such a sensitive time, when rumors about her were still flying all over the place, everyone kept their distance from her, afraid of accidentally getting involved with something on her. But this girl smiled and came in front of her, smiling and saying she wanted to be friends with her. Lin Meng's mind at this moment was very complicated! I couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was! But, she nodded, involuntarily. Maybe it was because the girl's smile was so clean; maybe it was because the girl looked a bit familiar; maybe it was because the girl had eaten the same dish as her today, maybe...

Well, hell's bells, whatever. Lin Meng just nodded!

This girl named Su Xue immediately smiled, her smile was very bright, as if Lin Meng's nod was a great reward for her.

"That's great!" The girl looked truly delighted. "Then we'll be friends from now on, hehe. Su Xue, Su from Suzhou Gardens, Xue from Xue Rong flower, you must remember that, ok!"

Lin Meng nodded and immediately introduced herself: "Lin Meng, from the forest..."

"Hey hey, I know you! I've heard so much about you!"

"Huh Is that so" Lin Meng immediately fell silent and stopped introducing herself further.

Su Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I think we'll get along very well."

She seemed to have a kind of inexplicable confidence.

Lin Meng didn't know how to respond when the girl suddenly said something very strange. "Because, we're alike!"

Very similar! Similar to what!

Lin Meng was puzzled, but the girl immediately smiled and changed the subject. In the end, the two of them cleared the dishes together and returned to the classroom together. Of course, she went back to Class Seven, and the girl went back to Class Eight. Being in neighboring classes! Soon, Ma Hou, who was "diligently performing his duty" and "wholeheartedly devoted" to Jiang Po Lang, relayed a message that Jiang Po Lang wanted Lin Meng to stay after school for a chat!

Lin Meng furrowed her brow, her heart hanging in the air, swinging back and forth. Because, there was no bottom!

... First published by Xiao Xiang Academy.

What he didn't expect was that after school, Jiang Po Lang directly led Lin Meng to take the bus, not the Eighth Road they were used to taking, but the unfamiliar Seventh Road. In the end, the place they got off wasn't familiar to Lin Meng either.

"Alang, where are we going!" Lin Meng frowned, not worried that Jiang Po浪 would harm her, just the unfamiliar place made her a little uneasy. Since it's a conversation, then isn't anywhere a place to talk Why go through all the trouble of taking the bus to a strange place.

Jiang Po waved reassuringly patted Lin Meng's shoulder. "Don't be afraid, just come with me. I'll take you to meet someone you know!"

People she knows!

The scenes began to replay in Lin Meng's mind, one by one. She speculated who it could be! However, she never expected it would be Jiang Po Lang's brother, Jiang Cheng Feng, the one who always seemed gentle and courteous with a spring-like smile on his face!

This river is breaking waves! Lin Meng's heart was filled with annoyance. Wasn't she just here to see her brother Why make such a mysterious fuss.

"Jiang Ge!" Lin Meng politely greeted, and Jiang Chengfeng gave a faint smile. He gestured for Lin Meng to sit down.

"I heard there were some bad rumors about you at school, so I didn't go to you directly, afraid of causing you trouble. I had Xiaolang bring you here instead, hehe, don't secretly scold me in your heart!"

Lin Meng's ears turned slightly red, and she shook her head sheepishly, replying softly, "How could that be!"

Jiang Cheng reached out and beckoned a waiter, asking in a low voice if Lin Meng had any dietary restrictions. He then ordered a cup of pearl milk tea for Lin Meng. After the hot milk tea arrived, Jiang Cheng finally got down to business.

"That's right, I know about your situation!"

Lin Meng wasn't too surprised this time. Since Jiang Po Lang was brothers with Jiang Cheng Feng and had now brought him out, the two brothers must definitely be sharing information.

"Xiao Lang doesn't want you to be with Rong Ling, and I feel the same way. Well, how should I say this... Rong Ling might be able to protect you for a while, but he can't protect you in the long run. And following him like this, without any official recognition, isn't right. If it gets out, it will also affect your future. I think we still need to come up with a foolproof solution!"

Lin Meng blushed, her face filled with embarrassment. She was actually incredibly ashamed inside. Jiang Chengfeng was different from Jiang Po浪. He was an adult and a successful businessperson. He always spoke slowly, but when he said this, it carried weight and could directly hit the soft spot in people's hearts.

Jiang Chengfeng is right, he's hit the snake at its seven inches.

Lin Meng, of course, knew that her relationship with Rong Ling couldn't last forever. But all she thought about was how to make it last a little longer, long enough for her to get an ID card, or even more luckily, until she graduated from high school. Isn't that what "getting by" means It perfectly describes her right now!

Jiang Chensheng sat across from her, his expression calm and his smile faint. However, Lin Meng dared not meet his gaze. In front of him, she inexplicably felt ashamed. He was a judge, his bearing full of righteous solemnity, while she felt rather like a guilty secret. Facing him like this, discussing such matters, she felt restless and uncomfortable.

"You… what do you want me to do!" She lowered her head softly, her hands clutching the pearl milk tea. Her gaze was fixed on the light brown liquid, unable to bring herself to move it.

"Well, here's how I see it," Jiang Chengfeng lightly tapped the table. "I'll have my father step in and talk to your father, persuading him to drop what he started before. I think your father would still give my father some face. Of course, doing so might put you in an awkward position at home. So, you could always move out. I'll ask a friend of mine to rent with you, which will reduce your expenses on one hand, and allow for companionship on the other. Oh, of course, that friend would definitely be female. And don't worry about money. I can lend you some, and when you graduate college and get a job, you can slowly pay me back. Anyway, I don't expect much interest from the bank; it's better to help you out than let the money sit idle."

Lin Meng was astonished and her heart stirred again. Compared to Jiang Po Lang's vague proposal, Jiang Cheng Feng's proposal this time was almost perfect in every way. He had practically thought of everything for her! Rent sharing, lending her money, and even blocking her father's arrangements! When Jiang Cheng Feng said these words, his tone was very calm, not at all aggressive. He spoke casually as if he was just chatting about it, making people naturally accept it from the bottom of their hearts without feeling sympathy or pity being helped. If this were really the case, then... wouldn't that be exactly what she had always dreamed of!

But how could she possibly deserve this How could he do so much for her!

Lin Meng's eyes welled up with tears. She bit her lip and whispered, "I... I don't even know what to say! You helped me like this..."

Jiang Cheng smiled into the wind, probably expecting this girl's reaction. "Well well, what else is there to say You just need to say yes, that's all. Good, just one word, it's simple, right Just say it, let me hear it!"

The wind was gentle as Jiang Feng sailed. His gentleness was calculated, seamless, effortlessly guiding his opponents along his path of thought. That's how he became a high-ranking judge at such a young age. Underneath that faint smile lay eloquence that was truly exceptional.

Lin Meng smiled and nodded repeatedly, her face flushed a delicate pink. It was a blush of both shyness and excitement. Her lips were about to part in agreement when suddenly, she thought of him—Rong Ling!

Her smile froze on her face, and she lowered her head again.

No, Rong Ling would get angry. She couldn't imagine what consequences there would be if he got angry! He said that was his last chance to give her a choice, she chose to stay, and now it's not even been a day, and she wants to leave. She...she couldn't imagine how Rong Ling would react!

Jiang Cheng rode the wind, saw Lin Meng who was perfectly fine suddenly fell silent again. His hand holding the cup clenched tightly, his fingers turning faintly white. In an instant, his eyes flashed, shooting out two beams of cold light.

"But to consider Rong Ling!" The tone was faint, with a hint of chill. It no longer held the warmth it once did.

Lin Meng nodded honestly.

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly in his heart, towards Rong Ling, he also didn't look favorably upon him!

"If it's because of him, then let me talk to him!" Her tone remained as flat as ever.

Lin Meng rubbed the teacup, hesitated for a long while, and then replied somewhat uneasily: "This... this isn't quite right, is it!"
