which is quite famous in City J. A meal here costs at least a thousand yuan at the very minimum. Most of the people who come here are wealthy families, and naturally, it also includes various business...As for Lin Meng's return, the three Ruan brothers had a "watching the show" attitude. Yes, the three of them looked down on Lin Meng somewhat, thinking that such a delicate woman wouldn't be able to accomplish much! But when Lin Meng brought back a large number of orders and placed them before them, they were stunned.
She glanced at the final transaction price and it was definitely at least four million. In just ten days, this achievement is astounding! Perhaps, four million wouldn't be much for Guangda in the past, but for Guangda now, it's a massive sum, even potentially enough to save them from their precarious situation.
During Lin Meng's absence, it happened to be the end of the month. Over ten employees submitted their resignations. Some workers at the downstream factory also quit, and some are still waiting and seeing. As December approached, it was estimated that many people hadn't left yet, hoping to receive the year-end bonus!
The company's situation doesn't look good, and the three brothers are also getting a bit anxious.
Lin Meng brought in so many orders all at once that, basically, it guarantees the three brothers a good year and gives them about two months of buffer time to find new ways to make money for the company.
Looking at the clearly thinner woman before them, the three brothers suddenly felt a pang of unease. As three burly men, each bigger than this woman, they relied on her to keep the company afloat. How could they not feel ashamed
Moreover, when this woman was around, they only felt bothered by looking at her. But after this woman left, they realized that the house was simply missing a woman and a child, and it could be so quiet, so quiet to the point of being desolate, almost frighteningly silent.
In the kitchen, there would be no more tantalizing aromas of home-cooked meals. At the dining table, there would be no more woman fiercely yet silently watching them, no more little one clamoring for food from their plates; no more soft murmurings or that lukewarm laughter that made them fume; and no more laughter of a woman playing with her child...
Always, out of stock!
Originally, they hadn't realized that they had become accustomed to this woman's presence; originally, in such a short time, she had entered their lives and exerted such terrifying influence!
She was back, and their first feeling was —finally she's back!
Then, all sorts of organs in the body began to work vigorously, and she was so excited that she started fighting him fiercely!
With her, there seems to be a primal drive to strive!
To fight with the heavens, one finds endless joy; to fight with the earth, one finds endless joy; to fight with her, one finds even greater joy!
However, at the moment they are far from listening to Lin Meng's guidance, after all, in the face of overwhelming facts, they have to bow their heads!
"As for those orders from Hainan, we still need to make a strong effort. But if——"
Lin Meng pinched her hands, "Let me assume for a moment. What if Haina is not righteous over there Then we have to make the worst-case plan and directly proceed with breach of contract compensation. The compensation amount at that time will be deducted from the profits of these orders. As the company's person in charge, I can't shirk responsibility for your decision-making mistakes. It's just that I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again, and I even hope that when you sign a contract with others next time, you can be more cautious. After all, we're not playing around, our goal is to make Guangda bigger, to make others pay attention to Guangda again."
There was a hint of surprise in the hearts of the three. At this moment, they truly understood that this woman truly had the well-being of Guangda at heart. What was even more impressive was that at such a time, she remained steadfastly loyal to Guangda and hoped to lift it up with her own strength.
They — some shaking!
I'm also a little grateful!
They didn't know that she was so busy running around, even leaving her precious son behind to fulfill orders. In the end, she had them in mind and even wanted to pay off their debts!
Why!
They aren't her biological sons, are they! She's just a nominal wife to the old man! How can she be so good to them!
The three of them were deeply shocked!
Lin Meng didn't know what they were thinking, but she continued, "Although we have this order as a foundation, we shouldn't be complacent in the short term. As businessmen, we must be far-sighted and not rely on our current success. We still need to put in our best effort to develop clients. He Jia is capable, but she can't control everything. If things don't work out in City B, we can completely shift our focus to other cities. I believe that once our company grows strong enough, He Jia won't be able to make things difficult for a thriving corporation! In the end, what we need is to solidify and strengthen our company's foundation!"
The three nodded, receiving some inspiration. There was no reason why Lin Meng could do something that the three brothers couldn't. However, Lin Meng still excluded Ruan Chengyang from the inside.
"College is only a few years of your life. You'll have plenty of opportunities to make money later, but now you must focus on what matters most to you. Since you chose this major, strive for excellence in it. That's success too!"
Ruan Chengyang's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
Having said all that, Lin Meng felt he had offered all the advice he could. What to do next was entirely up to the individual.
“I hope that we can trust each other in the future and that things like this will not happen again. Whatever thoughts you have of me in your hearts, please point them outwards!”
Lin Meng's gaze swept over the three people one by one, until after the three had passed through different times but finally nodded, Lin Meng retracted his gaze.
“Actually——,” Lin Meng suddenly smiled, her beautiful smile momentarily dazzling the three people. “I’m actually quite willing to see employees leave voluntarily, and I’m not afraid that the company will suffer further decline because of it. I feel that since things have gotten this bad, instead of trying to maintain some semblance of stability, it’s better to simply fall to the ‘bottom.’ Those old employees were all recruited by the old master, so if they leave, they leave. I believe that a truly capable person should rely on their own abilities to conquer the world. When most of those old employees are gone, it will also give you an opportunity to make your mark. At this point, when the company has essentially become a shell, it is precisely the time for you to add bricks and mortar. You can fully cultivate your power. This kind of great success, built by yourselves, is truly yours, not one that merely rides on the name of the old master!”
After a slight pause, Lin Meng looked provocatively at the three brothers. "Well Do you have the courage and determination to forge your own destiny!"
The three of them were momentarily stunned. Gazing into Lin Meng's black, glassy eyes, they inexplicably felt a surge of influence, a sudden burst of enthusiasm in their hearts!
Your own glory!
Shine brightly through your own hard work!
They will never again be what others say, the privileged second generation who rely on their ancestors' wealth and connections!
Even if you go out, you can totally hold your chest up and accept the baptism of others' eyes with dignity!
These ideas got them excited!
Thus, after Lin Meng rearranged and adjusted the employees within the company, they tacitly supported him. Ruan Chengyi also appropriately put forward his own opinions. Lin Meng and Uncle Lin negotiated with each other, taking some suggestions into consideration. When the design department and the factory manager of the downstream factory designed and produced the product samples in the order, the three brothers were not idle either.
Ruan Changan quietly submitted a transfer application to the school. When he went to university, this son of the Ruan family, known as "Third Young Master," applied for a veterinary program that others considered unremarkable. It was all to spite his grandfather, but apparently, his plan backfired. His grandfather remained largely indifferent. Seeing Lin Meng, a woman and a mother, striving relentlessly for a brighter future, he suddenly felt childish. So, behind his family's back, he submitted the application himself, switching to the clinical program he should have studied from the start. Of course, everything was still in the planning stages. He wouldn't say anything about it until things were settled.
Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui then began to run to Hainan Company, trying their best to win the final approval of the order. But obviously, Hainan played them like the Ruan family. Although the two hadn't had any significant achievements before, as the eldest and youngest sons of a multinational company, they were always treated with deference. Never had they been so humble, lowering themselves to please a manager like Li, who they thought was a despicable little person, just to get a deal done!
Some people, no matter how down on their luck they become, would never dream of letting their pride be trampled underfoot. The two brothers had run to the ocean a few times, fed up with Mr. Li's ambiguous and strange expressions. In private, they met and gritted their teeth, thinking this time they would just accept defeat. They would consider it a heart-wrenching lesson. After all, it was just compensation. They would pay!
But—they wouldn't take Lin Meng's money!
They might still hold a grudge against Lin Meng over the money, and perhaps without any remorse, they would take all the money Lin Meng had and put it in their own pockets. But think about how Lin Meng traveled south alone, enduring wind and sun every day, working hard to earn those orders. They wouldn't have the face to use that money!
That was Lin Meng's hard-earned money, it can be donated to the company, but it shouldn't be wasted because of their mistakes. They are men, they have ambition and pride.
The two brothers drove off in a modified BMW. After a circle, the BMW was sold, and each of them returned with a Ford Focus. In this back-and-forth trade, they made over three million. The brothers took the money to Hainan and found Manager Li. At first, they were polite and flattering, but finally, they hoped that Manager Li would let them off the hook. However, Manager Li seemed to be made of stone, unmoved by their pleas. The two brothers had tried their best, and with a glance at each other,阮承輝 smirked.
"Well then, let's settle this!"
"Ah!" Manager Li was stunned. He had gotten used to being treated like a big shot these days, with everyone fawning over him. These two brothers suddenly changing their expressions caught him off guard. He had even brewed a cup of tea, ready to offer it to them and watch as they put on an act of subservience before him. The plot took an unexpected turn, leaving him speechless with his own "Ah!"
Ruan Chengyi narrowed his eyes, sat down grandly on the sofa, and crossed his legs. This time, it was his turn to be the big boss. "Manager Li, let's just go with the compensation route. Take out the contract, let's settle this account today!"
Manager Li's heart immediately panicked. The appearance of the two brothers was completely beyond his expectations. He had investigated clearly beforehand that these two brothers had been detained by Lin Meng for money recently, and they were not wealthy at all. Instead, when they were spending lavishly outside, they still owed a debt. To make them lose money was to make things difficult for them, so he could be so complacent in making things difficult for the two brothers.
It is rumored that Lin Meng brought some business from the south this time, but can Lin Meng really pay off the debts for these two brothers! Manager Li finds it quite puzzling. After all, these two brothers had previously caused trouble for Lin Meng! But now they are swearing their loyalty, especially Ruan Chengyi, whose eyes are like ice. Manager Li feels a little intimidated! After all, Ruan Chengyi was once the general manager of Guangda, leading tens of thousands of employees. How could he, just a procurement manager, compare to him!
Mr. Li's mind whirled, his attitude shifting a full 180 degrees in an instant. He grinned and said, "Okay! Have you guys got the money ready"
Ruan Chengyi let out a cold snort. "It's just a matter of writing a check. Do you think I can't afford it!"
When Manager Li heard this, he became even more anxious. He pretexted that he needed to consult with his superiors about the matter and left the two brothers in the office while he hurried out.
Of course, the superior individuals wouldn't be complete without He Ya.
Manager Li went straight to look for He Ya. After explaining the situation, He Ya's face changed slightly.
"Look at those two people, they look like they're rich!"
Manager Li nodded. “It’s very similar!”
He Ya cursed bitterly in her heart, she didn't expect that Lin Meng would have such a broad mind. She had planned to instigate the three brothers and Lin Meng, and as planned, she let them fight, and finally forced Lin Meng to leave B city. But who knew, that woman was simply here to sabotage her plan.
Rong Ling is back from her trip abroad. How did he tell her! He said to make sure she doesn't touch Lin Meng!
"But I'm helping you!" she glared at Rong Ling, unconvinced. She didn't understand. What was so good about that woman Even after everything, Rong Ling still protected her so fiercely! That woman was so heartless, so cold. Four years ago, she had left without a word. For four years, Rong Ling hated her more and more each day. But now that she was back, he forgot all about the hate and instead defended her at every turn!
He Ya felt indignant!
That woman! What is she! She's nothing compared to herself! It's true that the other woman is pretty, but He Ya believes she isn't any worse looking! Even though that woman went to university abroad, it was some nameless school. How can she compare! That woman has nothing now. In terms of family background or reputation, she doesn't even come close!
He Ya doesn't understand!
I don't understand!
When things come to that woman, those worldly standards of judgment just go out the window!
"This is between her and me, it's none of your business!"
Listen, this is what Rong Ling said to her! What does it mean that "it's between him and her" It's as if there's no room for anyone else between them, not even hatred. It all belongs only to him and her!
How is that possible!
Isn't she helping him
"Gege, I don't understand..." She blinked her innocent eyes deliberately, looking at him with a helpless and slightly hurt expression. "I'm your girlfriend, so your stance is my stance. It's not wrong for me to teach those who make you dislike them a lesson, right!"
“Damn girl!” Rong Ling frowned, but his voice remained coldly indifferent. “As I said before, our relationship is more like a name, not a real one. If you change your mind someday and fancy someone else, just tell me once, and you can be with him. We agreed from the start that we wouldn't restrict each other. So, there’s no need to do this! I also don't want others meddling in my affairs!”
"But I like you!" He Ya bit her lip unwillingly. How could she be someone else! She had been following him for years! Since she first saw him, she had liked him! It's been almost ten years now!
Ten years, how many decades can a person have in their life! A girl's youth, it passes by in the blink of an eye!
"Brother Rong, it's been over three years. In the eyes of others, we are already a recognized couple. Okay, I can promise to not interfere in your affairs, but…"
Her face flushed red, revealing a hint of shyness. "But— I'm not young anymore either. My elders at home have also started urging me to get married, Rong Ge—"
She suddenly raised her head, looking at him shyly and timidly. "We... we..."
"I haven't thought about getting married!" Rong Ling refused without hesitation. "If you want to get married, find someone else. With your qualifications, finding a young talent is no problem at all. Just let me know when the time comes!"
After finishing his words, he left!
At that time, He Ya's pretty face was twisted with anger!
She knew she had confessed her feelings first, saying "I like you," so in their interactions, she was always the passive one, the weaker one. But she thought that since he appeared with her in a close and intimate manner in front of everyone, it was already a kind of acknowledgment; she also thought that over these three years, she should have moved this man, leaving some traces in his heart.
Externally, she was the female companion he brought out most frequently. Given the relationship between the He and Rong families, she also felt that she was the most suitable person to be his wife.
OK. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate. I can handle HTML tags, just remember they won't be translated!
How angry He Yaxin must be!
"Lin Meng, Lin Meng, since you've disappeared, why come out again! Why not just die outside!
"
What is hatred!
Where there is no love, there is no hate!
How long can hate last! Sometimes, hate and love are just a hair's breadth apart. If you blur the lines a little, it becomes hard to tell which is which!
Roger is spoiling that woman too much! He's gone overboard!
He Ya felt she couldn't let that woman get away with it! She had struggled for so long for something she still couldn't have, why should that woman just be able to get it!
After thinking for a moment, He Ya smiled faintly and whispered something to Manager Li. Manager Li nodded repeatedly, and finally said that he understood everything. Then he smiled and left.
He Ya just sneered coldly!
So what about love!
So what if it's not love!
How many marriages today are truly based on love!
Like Rong Ling, this type of person prioritizes finding a partner from a similar social standing and with shared interests. As for someone like Lin Meng, they shouldn't even dream of entering the Rong family!
Manager Li, having received instructions from He Ya, returned to his office with a smile. He did not make things difficult for the two brothers and politely asked them to stay for a while longer. Once the accounts department finished their calculations, both parties could proceed with the contract termination!
"I heard that your stepmother is quite capable. She went south alone and made several good deals." Manager Li started the conversation.
In the business world, there aren't too many secrets to begin with. When something happens here, it's practically common knowledge in the industry. The two brothers didn't try to hide anything, they smiled and nodded, still in good spirits.
Manager Li squinted his eyes, his expression momentarily strange. He chuckled and deliberately glanced at the door that was obviously locked tight, as if afraid someone might overhear what he was about to say. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Although we can't do business with you this time, we still look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with you again in the future. As the saying goes, 'business may fail, but friendship endures.' So, I'll tell you some news I've received!"
The two brothers glanced at each other, neither of them feeling particularly excited. This pickled Manager Li, with that foul mouth, what good thing could he possibly come up with!
Manager Li, however, didn't care whether the two listened or not. He went on, "Do you know how people outside view the both of you! Hehehe… Do you know how your stepmother got her order! People are saying that it was because she slept with a man, so—"
Manager Li raised an eyebrow, and a lascivious expression appeared on his otherwise ordinary face. It was clear to everyone what "that" referred to!
"Damn it—" Ruan Chenghui immediately let out a loud shout, his handsome face hardened with ferocity as he glared fiercely at Manager Li.
Manager Li shrugged innocently. "Young Master Ruan, please don't glare at me like that. I didn't say this, someone else did. I'm just passing on the message, speaking truthfully. Now everyone is saying that your stepmother is a pimp. She traveled so far away, isn't she trying to attract attention Besides, things are quite chaotic in the south. This kind of thing happens all the time. A woman like her, what other means does she have besides this! It's just pitiful for you two brothers, you've been wrongly labeled as eating off your stepmother's scraps. People even say that Guang Da is now relying on women selling themselves to stay in business!"
"Where did you hear that!" Ruan Cheng hui remained menacing, gritting his teeth and saying, "You actually believe such nonsense!"
Manager Li gave a sly smile and prevaricated, "Hear say, all hearsay..."
“Since it’s just hearsay, how can you take it seriously!” Ruan Chengyi said coldly. “Manager Li is also a person of status. To so carelessly follow rumors and slander a woman’s reputation is not right, is it When you go out like this, you are representing the esteemed Hai Na. Wouldn’t this tarnish your company’s image!”
Li, the manager's, smile stiffened. He thought to himself that this Ruan Chengyi wasn't an easy person to deal with either. He quickly added, "What I just said was based on my ignorance of the truth. But there's no smoke without fire, isn't that right As for your stepmother's character, you two brothers naturally know better than I, a stranger!"
Despite the tone, it still maintains the previous statement.
The two brothers' faces darkened. They both wished they could just storm out right then and there. But remembering the contract, they had to grit their teeth and sit back down, though in their hearts they swore that once this contract was over, they would never set foot in this place again!
“Actually, there’s one thing I’m quite certain about,” Mr. Li continued. “Your stepmother and Mr. Rong from the East Asia Group are definitely not innocent. Some people even saw them go in and out together, and they spent the night together!”
When it comes to Rong Ling, the two brothers changed their faces again. This time, their faces turned a bit pale.
They knew about Rong Ling's involvement. They hired a private investigator who tracked Lin Meng taking Xiao Youyou out on the weekend and confirmed that she was with Rong Ling. That's why the two brothers got angry and came with Hai Na to punish Lin Meng, making her suffer.
The two brothers were fuming inside, but there was no way they could refute Mr. Li's words with a straight face now.
"Do you know why your business is going so poorly!" Manager Li smiled mysteriously.
The two brothers chuckled inwardly, finding the question quite amusing. Wasn't it this very person behind them who represented the He family, the one obstructing their path
"You guys really think it's the He family behind this!" Manager Li widened his eyes and shook his head repeatedly. "Actually, our He family is just following orders. I've had some time getting to know both of you and know things haven't been easy. So today, I'll tell you another secret. Just listen, and once we leave here, pretend I never said anything. I won't admit to it even if I die!"
Then you'd better not say anything!
But Manager Li, ignoring Ruan Chengyi's scorn, insisted on saying what he had to say. "Actually, the one who gave the order was the Rong family, specifically Rong Ling. Think about it, our He family is nothing compared to the Rong family. In this vast Kyoto, our He family can't possibly cover the sky with one hand. Only the Rong family has that power. A word from them is like an imperial decree, and no one in the industry disobeys. So, when it comes down to it, you have to blame your stepmother. We don't know how she hooked up with Mr. Rong or offended him so badly that he issued a ban on your Guangda! Hmph... Or perhaps, your stepmother has too many romantic debts and didn't realize the extent of her situation. She angered Mr. Rong but also put a green hat on him…"
"Manager Li, you're being too loud!" Ruan Chengyi moved his thin lips, interrupting Manager Li. For the first time, he was so impatient and impolite.
"Wrong!" Ruan Cheng Hui sneered coldly. "You're so noisy, even louder than a hen!"
This is a complete break.
Manager Li's face darkened, and he snorted angrily. "You fools, you'll just be laughed to death!"
Finally, the contract was dissolved, and the three parted ways unhappily.
"Manager Li was a bit uneasy and reported the final result to He Ya. "...It seems that Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui didn't seem to believe it at all! "
He Ya asked in detail about the reaction of the two brothers at the time and smiled slightly. "It's fine, you can step back now!"
Manager Li retired.
He Yajie laughed triumphantly!
Of course not!
The main event is about to begin!
No man with blood in his veins can stand the title of "eating soft rice," and now the Ruan family has something to stir up! Lin Meng also shouldn't expect peace.
He Ya's guess was right. Although the two brothers refuted Mr. Li in the office and stated their unwillingness to believe the rumors, deep down, they had believed seven or eight out of ten of these "groundless" rumors!
The two brothers originally planned to finish this messy debt with HaiNa in a polished manner and then hand over the extra money to Lin Meng, allowing her to transform it into the company's startup capital. But now, after being messed around by Manager Li, they were left feeling embarrassed and defeated. As soon as they stepped out of HaiNa's glass doors, anger surged within them, and they sped back to GuangDa's office, driving recklessly all the way. The two brothers burst into Lin Meng's office, slammed the door shut, and scolded her mercilessly.
"How did you even get this order! Did you sleep with someone to get it! Damn it! You're ruining our family name, both of us are losing face because of you! Get these orders canceled right now, we don't want your dirty money!"
阮 Cheng-hui immediately shouted, saying that the colleagues outside were about to laugh their family to death, and their spine was probably about to be poked through by them.
Don't underestimate a man's ability to curse. The two of them were shouting loudly, and on the way here they had been stewing and rehearsing their insults. As soon as they opened their mouths, they didn't stop. Lin Meng wanted to speak up, but she couldn't get a word in and was berated by the two of them white.
To be scolded for no reason, even a saint would find it hard to remain unaffected. Lin Meng couldn't help but feel angry, but he was no match for the two brothers' booming voices. In the end, he gave up and sat on the sofa, letting them rant and rave.
Finally, the two brothers caught their breath. Lin Meng slowly sat up straight and raised an eyebrow. “Finished scolding”
The two brothers immediately glared, seeing Lin Meng's seemingly unfazed expression, their anger only intensified.
"Shameless!" Ruan Chengyi rebuked.
"A water lily!" Ruan Chenghui remarked sarcastically.
"Two pig heads!" Lin Meng cursed.
The two brothers glared at each other. "What the hell! Are you talking about me!"
Lin Meng grabbed a pen holder from the table with one hand, and then flung it at the two brothers. The brothers were caught off guard and didn't react in time to Lin Meng's sudden outburst. They ended up getting hit by the pen holders. It wasn't painful, but it deeply wounded their pride and ignited a fire of anger within them!
"Divorce! I'll make him divorce you! Shameless, our family doesn't want a woman like you! Divorce, it has to be a divorce!" Ruan Chenghui shouted.
"Good!" Lin Meng laughed, but her eyes were like knives, fixed on the two brothers. "You can go find the old man. If you don't get scolded by him, I, Lin Meng, will write my name backwards!"
The two brothers started panting heavily, their eyes bloodshot as they glared at Lin Meng.
"Little goblin, don't think that old geezer protecting you means you can run wild!"
"What's wrong with being unrestrained!"
Lin Meng stood up, although she was shorter than both brothers, her imposing manner was astounding. Now it was her turn to point at the two brothers and start scolding them.
"You bunch of idiots, are you still wrong! Ruan Chengyi, did you really used to be the general manager of Guangda! Ruan Chuhui, is your brain already hollowed out by women! I sleep with men! How could you believe such rumors! Which bastard nodded when I said we should trust each other! Which bastard turned his back and forgot about it all! Did those two bastards remember! Are their brains even dumber than pigs!"
You would rather believe a stranger than me. I'm truly heartbroken! No wonder you can't keep people in the end. As a member of this company, if we can't even get the most basic trust, how could anyone have the passion to contribute to the company!
I told you, even if you truly know nothing, you should consult with others. Don't be stubborn! But what did you do You acted just like three-year-old children! You believed whatever others said at random. This is simply embarrassing for all of us. You have lived this long and wasted all these years!
Take a good look at the names on the order, how many of them are men! You utter nonsense, why don't you filter it in your brains first If you have doubts, you should investigate and confirm, instead of running over here to insult me like an ignorant shrew! Ruan Chengyi, Ruan Chenghui, the two of you, you've disappointed me completely!
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the two pen holders on the table and smashed them one by one. There were plenty of these things in the company, so she wasn't worried about breaking or ruining them.
The two brothers could dodge this time, but they watched helplessly as the inkwell came crashing down. Their bodies remained completely still, silently enduring the blow.
Because Lin Meng was too righteous and outspoken, they felt she was right, even though they now started to feel ashamed of their own actions.
They should smash them!
On a person's face, there are always some things that can't be overcome. Some things, knowing you're wrong is one thing, but admitting your mistakes is another.
"We'll look into this, best if it's as you said. Otherwise—" Ruan Chengyi theatrically threatened.
Lin Meng angrily shouted, "Then get out of here and investigate right away!"
Ruan Chengyi's face twisted in a cold grimace, his heart feeling a little awkward. Ruan Chenghui simply refused to speak.
Ruan Chengyi thought for a moment, still unwilling to give up. "Let's just leave it at that for now, but regarding Rong Ling, woman, control yourself and don't bring shame upon our Ruan family! You are the mother of a child, yet you shamelessly disregard your own well-being and ours as well. At the very least, think about your precious son! Don't you want him to be respected by others and not become a laughingstock"
Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat, though her face remained stern. She knew she was losing her composure. Just now, she had scolded him fiercely but deliberately avoided mentioning Rong Ling. It was because she couldn't bring herself to do so; she lacked the righteous indignation.
The two brothers grunted and went out.
This battle, no one won!
Lin Meng stood there, lowering her eyes to look at the phone on her office desk. Thinking about the information the two brothers had just told her, she found it unbelievable. Would Rong Ling really do something to block her! How could that be!
She doesn't believe it!
I called Rong Ling, just to confirm, just to hear his denial!
The mess between her and him, she did it, so she wasn't afraid of being scolded. But some things, she just had to figure out!
"Could it be you who's preventing me from receiving orders in City B!"
There was silence there.
She bit her lip and asked urgently, “I just heard this from someone, but I don’t believe it. Rong Ling, you say, as long as you say it wasn't you, I'll believe you. You say!”
After a moment of silence, a low voice came from there. "It's me!"
Lin Meng's body swayed, and she almost couldn't stand. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed the desk to steady herself. Her mind replayed the man's enlarged "It's me," and her heart instantly turned cold. She couldn't understand how this man could do such a thing! While being so intimate with her, he was also secretly stabbing her in the back!
This is so vicious, this is so hypocritical, is that still bullying! Or is it him!
"Why...!" she croaked, her voice nearly gone, her face drained of all color.
"This is a matter of the Ruan family, what does it have to do with you!" The man's voice was cold. "What are you, a woman, running out for! The Ruan family isn't short on men!"
"That's not right!" she shouted. "You're lying, no, that's not how it is! You blocked not just me, but the entire Guangda, why! Tell me the reason, don't fool me, I'm not stupid, don't try to fool me!"
Then there was silence again for a while, before a cold voice came. "Guangda is bankrupt, divorced, wouldn't that make things simpler! You want a divorce, don't you I'll help you with that!"
“You—!” She was so angry that she choked on her breath, unable to catch it. After a long pause, she forced down her anger and hissed, “You’re being unreasonable! You blacklisted me This is all happening because I told you I wanted a divorce! You bastard, are you helping me! You're making things worse! You're dragging me down! Rong Ling, you damn bastard! You are an absolute jerk, scum!”
"Shut up!" he roared.
"You're the one who should shut up!" She slammed her fist on the table, furious. "You're a typical two-faced person, rotten to the core! I hate myself for being stupid enough to trust you! No—"
