Sedimentation (7)

pan shook her head, her red lips puckering slightly. "You can't be so honest, oh! When a friend asks something, just say whatever they want to hear, or you'll get taken advantage of!"Lin Meng was stun...When they were eating hairy crabs that day, Jiang Yichen's attitude suddenly changed drastically. Lin Meng and Rong Ling analyzed it later, suspecting that it might have been a natural progression, with Jiang Yichen suddenly having an epiphany; or, it might have been because Jiang Yichen heard what Lin Meng said. The latter was Rong Ling's analysis. Lin Meng thought it was unlikely. She didn't speak loudly to He Wen, and Jiang Yichen's hearing wasn't that good. But Rong Ling had been a spy, so he naturally thought nothing was impossible.

In any case, since Lin Meng had said that she considered herself half a daughter of Jiang Yancheng and his wife that day, it was only natural for Mrs. Jiang to act this way now. She couldn't possibly be hypocritical about it.

"How could you possibly blame me!" she said with a chuckle. "I'm delighted!"

The fact that Jiang's mother could openly bring up the term "goddaughter" shows her complete forgiveness, which is truly something to celebrate!

"Jiang Mu's eyes lit up with excitement, she looked at her like a child brimming with anticipation. "Then try calling me 'godmother'"

Lin Meng readily agreed to the good suggestion.

"Godmother!"

"Oh!" Jiang's mother was so happy, she almost danced with glee.

When Lin dreamed this, his heart was also elated. Unexpectedly, Lin Dong and the two arrived, bringing so much little malice, but they were still able to bring about such a big happy event.

However, there was one thing she had to make clear early on. "Auntie, Rong Ling... probably won't come with me!"

With that man's arrogant nature, it was impossible for him to casually acknowledge kinship. And she was even less willing to force this relationship upon Rong Ling. That man, for her sake, had already made too many concessions to the Jiang family. She herself had the intention to repay him, but she couldn't be greedy enough to have that man follow her as well; that would be too much!

Jiang Mu immediately let out a dry laugh. Towards Rong Ling's side, she had long expected this. As the godfather of that man, she also felt she didn't have that good fortune!

"No problem at all, having you call me "Auntie" is already a huge favor to me. If I have Rong Ling call me "Auntie" too, I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning!"

Lin Meng giggled and playfully retorted, "Auntie, you're so silly!"

"Mother Jiang continued to chuckle. 'I'm telling the truth.'"

"Speaking of which, she took Lin Meng's hand again and patted it, sincerely continuing, 'To be honest with you, I know what kind of person Rong Ling is. I'm already very happy to have you as my daughter. As for Rong Ling's side, I don't dare to ask. My godmother isn't afraid to tell you the truth – I adopted you mainly because of Youyou. I love Youyou and would do anything to be close to him!'"

Lin Meng just smiled. That was indeed the truth. She reached out and beckoned to Xiao Youyou.

"Youyou, come here and meet the freshly baked grandma!"

Xiaoyou stepped forward and formally changed his address. "Grandma!"

Anyway, in his mind, grandma and great-grandma were not very different; it was just a change of address. Mother Jiang was still Mother Jiang. And Mother Jiang was the one he felt close to.

"Oh!" Jiang's mother responded loudly, happily pulling Xiao Youyou close and hugging her gently.

"Haohuo, come here and call Grandma!"

Little Hao also followed and called out, Mother Jiang was delighted to respond and pulled Little Hao into her arms. Rong Henduo changed his tune and called out "Aunt," Mother Jiang responded happily. Later, she gleefully coaxed Youyou and Haohao to call her "Grandma" several times, feeling a slight sense of fulfillment in her heart. She then hugged the two little ones and with Lin Meng, brought up Jiang Yichen.

"At your uncle's place, it might take some time for him to change his tune. You'll have to wait a while. But your uncle likes Yoyo, and after a while, he'll definitely be unable to hold back and will rush to have Yoyo call him grandpa, hehe..."

"Hehehe, it's fine." Lin Meng chuckled softly.

After some thought, Jiang's mother spoke honestly.

"As for Lin Dong's matter, I know it very clearly. Don't you find that strange"

Lin Meng didn't want to play coy with her either, and naturally said, "It is a bit strange!"

“Mother Jiang smiled sheepishly. “Those are all things of the past. You heard them, just as a story, don't take it to heart!”

"No, my godmother doesn't know what I'm like yet!"

She pouted slightly, revealing a hint of childish coquettishness. Seeing this, Jiang Mu felt great joy in her heart and readily told her the story.

Before this, the Jiang family had a plan to deal with the Rong family, so even Lin Dong's family, who were considered relatives of Lin Meng, were targeted by the Jiang family just in case. Therefore, Jiang's mother knew about the affairs of Lin Dong's family so clearly.

"That Lin Zi is a clever one. You got your father into such a high-end nursing home, with people coming and going who are either rich or powerful. I reckon Lin Zi had her sights set on him. You know how it is in the entertainment industry – for fame, they don't mind sacrificing their bodies, even marriage can be bought and sold. Tang Shengjun met Lin Zi while he was at the nursing home. Lin Zi would visit the nursing home very often, even if it was just putting on a show, she took good care of your father. So, Lin Zi actually had a bit of a reputation there. I heard about her marriage to Tang Shengjun only recently from a friend. My friend said that Tang Shengjun, who's over sixty, had remarried, and I casually asked who it was. Unexpectedly, the bride was Lin Zi! That woman is capable. So young and willing to marry an old man like that.But Tang Shengjun isn't senile either. Apparently, they signed a prenuptial agreement before getting married, so Lin Zi couldn't get much, but what she gets will definitely be substantial. Most importantly, Tangshi Enterprises has been doing well in the film industry these years. Lin Zi marrying into the family is most likely because of that."

Lin Meng nodded. "She's always been an ambitious person!"

"Well, ambition isn't a bad thing. After all, great things are achieved by ambitious people. However, if that ambition is directed at our own family, then it's unacceptable!"

"It shouldn't be!" A gleam flashed in Lin Meng's eyes. She knew two people who had successfully run entertainment companies: one was Xiao Qu, and the other was Feng Tan. She got along well with both of them; Xiao Qu was her third brother. Even though Lin Zi married Tang Shengjun, she wouldn't be so foolish as to start making things difficult for her. Xiao Qu and Feng Tan, either of them could pressure Lin Zi in the entertainment industry until she couldn't stand it. As for Tang Shengjun, she had heard of him. Although he was the chairman of Tangshi Enterprise, he certainly didn't have the ability to rival Shuangmu Group. Besides, Tang Shengjun founded Tangshi Enterprise himself; he wasn't an old fool who would ruin his own company for a small celebrity.

"Don't worry about Lin Zi and Lin Dong, Godmother, just rest assured. This is the first time this has happened, but it will definitely be the last time!"

Mother Jiang was chuckling, almost forgetting the girl's extraordinary abilities. Perhaps it was because she had grown close to her and always saw her gentle and soft appearance that she forgot about the woman's fierce competence in the business world! And don't forget, she also had such a protective husband!

"Indeed, it's nothing to worry about!" Mother Jiang laughed in agreement and immediately dropped the subject, changing the conversation. Later, after the three children had rested enough, they went back to playing with their tanks, and Mother Jiang and Lin Meng followed them.

After a while, Rong Ling came back.

"Gee, didn't I tell you not to rush back How come you're back so soon"

Lin Meng knew that Lin Dong had come to visit, and Zun Shu would definitely inform Rong Ling. With his personality, he would definitely rush back. Therefore, after the incident, she specially called Rong Ling to assure him that everything was fine on her side and told him not to worry and to just focus on his own business. Unexpectedly, although he agreed verbally, he still rushed back.

Although she pretended to be angry, it was impossible for her heart not to be sweet.

He just gave a casual explanation. “The company doesn't really need me, so I came back!”

Of course, this was for her.

Lin Meng let out a chuckle and, as usual, untied his tie and loosened the first button. At that moment, Xiao Youyou paused her work, lifted her head, and looked towards Rong Ling.

"Daddy!" he called out, clearly wanting to say something to Rong Ling, but after just that one call, he said nothing more.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother knew she shouldn't stay any longer. Today's matter, Rong Ling definitely had his own solution. The family would certainly discuss it privately. However, before leaving, there was one more thing she needed to do.

"Rong Ling, could we speak privately for a few minutes"

Rong Ling nodded and touched Lin Meng's face before leaving. Jiang Mu hurried to follow. Although she didn't say much, she brought up what Lin Dong had done to Lin Meng years ago - an almost successful act of brutality that was worse than any animal. It was Jiang Yancheng's subordinates who took Lin Meng away at the time. Those experienced detectives immediately understood what had happened based on the scene inside. After returning, they told Jiang Yancheng, and Jiang Mu also heard about it. Today, Jiang Mu genuinely treated Lin Meng as her daughter, so she brought up this old matter.Rong Ling was a person who knew how to get things done. By adding fuel to the fire, she hoped that Lin Dong would no longer dare to appear in front of Lin Meng in the future, and he might even avoid walking near her. Lin Meng was kind-hearted and cared for her family, so she probably wouldn't handle things too harshly. Therefore, it was best if Rong Ling could take decisive action.

Rong Ling was a little surprised that Jiang's mother would tell him about such adult matters, but after listening, he nodded to indicate that he understood and kept this in mind.

Mother Jiang smiled and then left first.

Rong Ling returned to the workshop and took Lin Meng away. Xiao Youyou wanted to follow, but Rong Ling stopped her.

"You three, stay put here!"

A single sentence, weighty enough to make these three people obedient.

Little Youyou pursed her lips and reluctantly let out an "oh". Little Haohuo pulled on Little Youyou and winked at him. Only then did Little Youyou sit back down and bury herself in making a fortress again!

Lin Meng didn't know what Jiang Mu and Rong Ling had said, but seeing him looking a little unhappy made her heart flutter with unease. Could it be that Jiang Mu had mentioned the "godmother" thing And that her son was angry about it!

She followed Rong Ling uneasily all the way to his study. As soon as they entered, she broke the silence.

"Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't discuss it with you before accepting Aunt Jiang as my godmother. Please don't be angry. It was wrong of me!"

She bowed her head deeply, looking remorseful and unsure. She held onto Rong Ling's shirt with both hands as if afraid he would be unhappy and ignore her. This way of apologizing was just like a child!

Rong Ling was surprised again, but only faintly. Whether or not she acknowledged him as her godson wasn't important. He had known this woman was worried about the Jiang family side, and he had accepted it long ago. The more he felt the importance of this woman to him, the more grateful he was that Jiang Po Lang had saved her back then. It was hard to imagine what his life would have been like if she had died back then; it would have been so desolate and uninteresting!

That being said, he wouldn't have to worry about his mother-in-law's feelings. She had only brought up the old matter because it was her duty as a godmother!

"You're overthinking again!" he laughed at her. "I'm angry, not because of this!"

"Hey What's the reason for that" Lin Dong, she had already solved it all for them. He shouldn't be like this!

"You stupid woman!" he suddenly yelled at her again.

She instinctively pouted her lips in disagreement.

Why didn't you ever tell me about that

"What's going on" she asked, confused.

He leaned in close to her ear and whispered a few words. Her face changed slightly.

"Is this what Auntie just told you privately"

"Hmm."

She buried her face in his chest, saying with a hint of annoyance, “That’s not something to be proud of. I don't want to talk about it, it's embarrassing! And it happened ages ago, there's no reason to bring it up suddenly!”

He was taken aback, immediately understanding, then instantly felt heartbroken.

I almost got hurt by my own half-brother. To be honest, it's embarrassing to talk about this, and it's really awkward. He forgot to think about things from her perspective.

“Well, let’s not talk about it anymore!” he coaxed her. “As for the Lin family, your father is still the same, and the others… they have nothing to do with you. You need to be ruthless and don't give your kindness to those who don't deserve it!”

This man speaks, as always, with such sharpness.

Lin Meng simply responded with an "Mhm!" and nodded in agreement.

"I'll take care of the Lins. Jin Saimei is easy to handle, just give her a scare. As for Lin Dong, he's a gambler, and needs a harsh lesson to curb his delusions once and for all. As for Lin Zi, it would be easy to bring her down, but she serves as a good counterbalance to Jin Saimei and Lin Dong. Having her around prevents them from going too far and doing something crazy. So, just give her a warning! They're connected to you in some way, so I can't go too hard or it will reflect badly on you."

However, this idea wasn't quite what she had in mind.

"Then I'll leave it to you to do!" She tilted her head and looked at him coquettishly. "Just come as you look!"

"Hmm."

He raised his hand again and touched her delicate cheek. "It's just that, with Aunt Jiang as your mother-in-law, you have one more support system. But Xiao Gua—"

He looked deeply into her eyes, his gaze both profound and burning. “For this lifetime, I will never fail you, so you don’t need to worry about any of that nonsense. For this lifetime, you don’t need to rely on your family or even children. You only need to rely on me. I will protect you and let you live a happy life!”

This made her heart melt with sweetness. Her cheeks flushed red, she nodded heavily and softly hummed in agreement. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with emotion, looking at him shyly yet yearningly. This moved him deeply, he lowered his head and kissed her eyes that seemed to speak. She slightly narrowed her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes brushed against his lips, making them tingle. He then cupped her small face and under the intense gaze, kissed other parts of her body. Her face was burning, but she pursed her lips, her eyes smoldered with a seductive gleam as she playfully raised her head to embrace him.

After a while of whispered sweet nothings, she panted softly and leaned against his chest. Listening to his steady heartbeat for a moment, she remembered something.

"Honey, about Aunt Jiang, you can still call her the same way you used to. I've already told Aunt Jiang, she said she doesn't have the guts to respond with 'godmother'. Also, Aunt Jiang said that Uncle Jiang might also need some time to accept the title 'godfather'."

"Go with the flow!" He kneaded her tiny waist, his head bowed, inhaling the sweet fragrance of her hair. "We have plenty of time ahead of us!"

"Mhm!"

After hugging for a while, Rong Ling began to handle the Lin family's affairs. After giving all the instructions, he took Lin Meng downstairs to the workshop. Little Youyou, as usual, put down her work and stared straight at Rong Ling.

"What were you just going to say" he asked the young boy.

The little boy wore a cold expression, his demeanor revealing the same ruthlessness as his father. "We need to teach that mother and son a lesson today!"

"I've already had someone take care of it!"

What did Daddy do

"You don't need to worry about this, just take care of what you're doing."

The little fellow straightened his back and said proudly, "I want to know the result!"

"That's it!"

The little guy looked at Rong Ling for a while again, then lowered his head and started making parts for the tank. Rong Ling felt that the little guy probably still had something else to say, but since he wasn't saying it now, he didn't ask. Because if it was necessary to ask, this son would definitely ask.

Later, Lin Meng went to cook. Rong Ling continued to serve as an advisor for the three little ones, and also checked their work.

After dark, Rong Hengduo drove home. Little Youyou and Little Hahahahaha stopped working and went to wash up. These two little ones didn't know what it meant to stay up late, because Lin Meng had made a rule, even if there was something big happening, they had to be in bed by 10:30 p.m. The two little ones knew their mommy was easygoing, but once Mommy decided on something, it was harder to deal with than Daddy. If they made Mommy angry, it would definitely be very terrible. Because Daddy was always on Mommy's side, and he would even clean them up before Mommy got mad!

After washing their hands and faces clean, the two little ones grabbed a dry towel each, with their damp short hair dripping, and started another round of racing. They ran around with bare feet looking for Lin Meng. This was a game between the two little ones; whoever reached Lin Meng first could get her to help them dry their hair. The one who came second would either have Rong Ling help them, or they would have to dry their own hair, or wait in line for Lin Meng to finish with the other one. However, usually, Lin Meng handled one while Rong Ling took care of the other simultaneously.

Lin Meng was talking to Rong Ling in the room. Through the open bedroom door, she could hear two little giggles echoing in the hallway, along with the rhythmic sound of footsteps pounding on the floor.

She pursed her lips and smiled. As if on cue, two little figures dashed in like two cubs, with Xiao Youyou beating Xiao Haohuo to the punch, throwing herself into Lin Meng's arms and hugging her leg.

"Haha, I won!" Little Youyou raised an eyebrow, looking extremely proud.

Little Hao stomped his feet and snorted. "Tomorrow, I'm definitely going to beat you!"

Then we'll just have to wait and see, haha...

The proud Xiao Youyou went to fetch a small stool and sat down in front of Lin Meng very skillfully. He then raised his little hand, which was holding a towel. Lin Meng also naturally took the towel and helped the little guy wipe his hair. Xiao Haohao could only bring over a stool and wait in front of Rong Ling, calling out sweetly.

"Daddy!"

Rong Ling reached out and took the towel. Xiao Haohuo turned his small body and twisted his little butt, quickly sitting on the small stool. He turned his head and grinned at Xiao Youyou. Xiao Youyou gave him a spooky face, and Xiao Haohuo reached out and pushed him. Xiao Youyou pushed back, and the two little ones started playing with each other, their crisp laughter quickly filling the room.

"Something's happened with the Lin family!" Rong Ling wiped his hands a few times and spoke. Xiao Youyou immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Rong Ling. Xiao Haohuo also remained still, his ears perked up, listening intently.

Rong Ling brought this up to fulfill the promise she made to Xiao Youyou!

On the Lin family's side, Jin Saimei was the first to be taught a lesson.

Jin Sai Mei was going home after buying groceries when suddenly a car came speeding towards her. She was so scared that her mind went blank, her legs gave way, and she landed hard on the ground.The driver slammed on the brakes just in time, stopping the car mere inches from Jin Sai Mei's face. At that moment, half of her body had already been run over. The driver reversed the car a safe distance away, then stopped.Jin Sai Mei looked up, clutching her chest with fear. She saw a man in black sunglasses and a heavy beard. Just as she was about to let out a breath and scold the driver for his reckless behavior, the man in the car raised his hand and made a throat-slashing gesture across his neck. Then, with a cold smile, he drove away!

She was so frightened that the little color she had regained in her face instantly paled again!

That car had no license plate. She was sharp and observed that it had no front or rear end!

Isn't he planning to kill her!

Trembling, she forced herself up, looking around frantically. She grabbed her basket and scrambled onto the sidewalk. The vegetables that spilled from the basket and rolled onto the road, she didn't even bother to pick up. She just wanted to get home as fast as possible!

Because she recalled what she had done in the afternoon and Lin Meng's warning, as well as Rong Ling's character. His ruthlessness was something she hadn't experienced for many years, so her impression of him had faded somewhat. But being hit by the car like that, she instantly remembered him!

"

"

She gasped, her hands trembling as she reached into her bag for her phone, wanting to call Lin Dong. She nervously scanned the surroundings, afraid that something like what just happened would happen again. Unconsciously, she instinctively leaned against a nearby shop. Having something on one side gave her a sense of security, at least making her feel a little safer. But suddenly, a sharp cry rang out.

"Be careful!"

How many people are shouting
