it's quite loud. It can only be said that today's college students are more daring and have stronger mental qualities!Lin Meng, like any other curious person, tilted her head and looked up.Then, amid...Lin Meng's heart moved slightly, with a hint of understanding. She smiled again and softly hummed in agreement.

Thank you, Uncle Qi!

Looking at Rong Qi's face that was smiling even wider, she knew her feelings were right. But she was puzzled, from the beginning, Rong Qi hadn't shown any dislike towards her, yet tonight, he clearly showed his affection for her. What was the reason for this!

Curious, she only turned it over in her mind before being pushed aside by her. After all, Rong Ling was about to take her to meet guests. Since she had dressed up for the occasion tonight, there was no way she would take a middle-of-the-road approach. Rong Qi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself on stage and might cause awkward silence. He worried too much. When she worked at Guangda before, she also attended many banquets, so she had the confidence to handle such occasions well. Besides, during her time in the business world, she had done a lot of homework and knew many people, even those she hadn't met yet. Rong Ling had worried that she wouldn't be able to recognize all the guests at the banquet, so he had told her not to force it. But if she tried, she could definitely identify most of them. If she encountered someone she couldn't remember, she could simply take a more moderate approach. She was very confident in her smile.

Such a Lin Meng's appearance, that is naturally quite extraordinary.

Those who don't know her might be surprised to find that they actually know her. When she speaks familiarly about their business or achievements, it truly is a sight to behold. After all, this woman is so beautiful, to have her gaze upon you and receive such sincere praise from her is simply delightful, bringing a wave of comfort that spreads throughout your body, opening your pores as if you'd just enjoyed a sauna.

Moreover, this woman is definitely a captivating presence. She's not simply someone who resorts to being overtly seductive or relies on superficial charm to catch your eye. Instead, she knows how to engage in conversation intelligently. When you discuss business matters, she'll chime in appropriately or offer thoughtful responses. You'll discover that she possesses unique insights into the world of commerce. At times, her words might even surprise and delight you, creating a sense of finding a kindred spirit.

And she would never be arrogant, eager to show off and talk at length. She is very considerate of others' feelings, often stopping just short of saying everything. Only if you genuinely want to hear more will she elaborate. There is not a hint of showing off in her demeanor.

For areas she is not good at, she does not hide her lack of proficiency.

"Mr. Liu, you know so much! If you're not too busy, I'd love to have the opportunity to learn from you sometime, if possible"

A beautiful smile, a soft word, can make you float like you've flown to the sky. When she looks at you with those lovely eyes, you can only feel her sincerity in their clarity and will secretly hope for such an opportunity to come sooner. (..tw good-looking novels)

No one can resist sweet words, can they Especially when they come from a woman like this!

It's not just the men at the banquet who are smitten with her, their hearts aflutter; even women can't help but feel a genuine affection for her.

Women, in such situations, are mostly acting as companions to men and often become overlooked. When accompanying their partners to meet Ronglin and his associate, women might be surprised to find themselves recognized by Lin Meng. Even, she might jokingly express envy for the depth of her and her lover's relationship or inquire about her parents and children, which makes one feel that she is being valued and respected by the hostess.

If you can take good care of all your female companions, that is definitely a sign of an excellent hostess.

Even women who don't often attend such events were taken care of by Lin Meng's attention. She wouldn't inquire about their families or anything else; instead, she would find the highlights on them, like their clothing, jewelry, or hairstyle, which could all become small topics of conversation. Even if they didn't talk much, being praised by the hostess made it hard not to feel a sense of elation. After all, the one praising you is the most dazzling presence at this entire banquet.

It can be said that Lin Meng's performance was simply astounding!

From the very beginning, people were consciously or unconsciously watching her because of her beauty, because of her current status, and because of her late arrival. But her performance completely won over everyone. Even if you had personal feelings and jealousy in your heart, you absolutely couldn't find a single fault with her!

Li Lanqiu is just like that!

She looked at such a Lin Meng, it was simply unbelievable. She had always thought that she wasn't bad, having received training from special forces, and in many aspects, she was superior to others. But Lin Meng, who had only spent four years studying at a university abroad, learning things from textbooks all day, how could she compare to her! However, Lin Meng's performance today had completely crushed her. No matter how unwilling she was to accept it, she also knew that she couldn't achieve the same level as Lin Meng. Compared to Lin Meng, she was just a dull sparrow, with no more eye-catching features.

Today's banquet should have been her domain, her time to shine. But in such a harsh way, all of her glory was stolen by Lin Meng. The elaborate schemes she had carefully laid were also destroyed by Lin Meng. What's even more infuriating is that Lin Meng's arrival turned her into a laughingstock.

Because of Du Caiyi's involvement, although she didn't completely fail, she still felt the stark difference between being adored and being shunned. This was unbearable for her. Just like going from poverty to wealth is easy but returning to poverty is difficult, she had grown accustomed to the sense of superiority that came with being on top. Now, being abruptly brought back down to earth was something she couldn't accept. She also caught glimpses of people whispering behind her back, which were definitely not kind words; and she sensed the disdain in some people's eyes as they brushed past her.

She was treated like a common mistress by Lin Meng, as if she wasn't worthy of being here without the man who brought her.

Humiliation!

Ultimate humiliation!

In her heart, anger burned like a fire. Several times she pretended to casually glance up and look at Rong Ling who was still holding Lin Meng in his arms as if nothing had happened, using his big hand and broad chest to declare absolute possession; watching Lin Meng smile contentedly, sometimes looking up at Rong Ling, her eyes flickering with happiness; watching the two of them openly chatting and laughing with others, accepting praise from others, her heart would churn with madness. Hearing people complimenting how well-suited the couple was, or hearing other female guests praising Lin Meng's virtues, she felt an urge to silence everyone!

These are all hers, they should all be hers.

It's Lin Meng who took all of this away!

She was going to find Rong Ling and ask him why Lin Meng would appear here! Why did he just leave her like that! Did he still want to save Uncle Three! If Lin Meng was sick, then why didn't she let herself get well!

Finally, she found an opportunity. Holding a glass of wine, she walked gracefully towards the two of them, and there was no one within two meters of the three of them!

"Róng Líng," she said, her gaze holding a mixture of wistfulness and resentment. "Didn't we say you were going to spend the evening with me"

Lin Meng immediately scoffed inwardly. This woman, how could she be so shameless and crave humiliation Rong Ling had previously given her a way out. Since she was so ignorant and disrespectful, then she wouldn't be polite. She wasn't Rong Ling; she didn't need to play any pretentious games!

"Rong Ling, I don't want to wear a green hat. Tonight, don't let me go!" Although she was smiling, her tone was very cold, carrying malice that both Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu could hear clearly.

This statement, while arrogant and confident, inadvertently saved Rong Ling. He seized the opportunity and charged at Li Lanqiu.

"She is my wife, in this kind of situation, I can only hold her hand."

"But, you forgot what I told you!" Li Lanqiu pretended to be anxious. "What if we keep going like this What will happen then! I'm doing all of this for you!"

Rong Ling frowned, expressing danger and helplessness.

"Everyone is here, what am I supposed to do! I still have some shame left!"

"Then, what are you going to do to make her leave Isn't she sick!"

Lin Meng immediately felt a chill in her heart. She didn't even want to let her leave the door.

"If the two of you want to flirt, be my guest! I'll give you some space!"

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but before he could even step out, he was pulled back tightly by Rong Ling. He let out a low hum.

"That's a story for another time. Right now, I can't abandon this person!"

A man always puts on a brave face in public. He made that very clear!

"You don't have any sincerity at all." Li Lanqiu's voice sounded rather sharp. "If you truly cared for me, if you really loved me, you would always find a way to get rid of her!"

Unwilling to yield or retreat, Lin Meng replied with an air of defiance.

"Tonight, I'm here with my boyfriend. Don't even try to kick me out. Li Lanqiu, calm down, or else, I'll make sure you and Rong Ling are both humiliated. Believe me, if I just go for a walk, I can expose all your disgusting deeds! A woman who just lost her husband turns around and tries to steal someone else's man. I can have you ostracized from the social circles of City B in an instant. Let me tell you, I'm furious right now. If you push me too far, I won't hesitate!"

Li Lanqiu gasped in shock, somewhat frightened. Because she had aimed too high, she began to worry. Lin Meng dared to take the risk, but she couldn't afford to lose!

Instantly, her eyes shimmered with tears, looking at Rong Ling. Her pitiful expression was tinged with a hint of sadness.

"Rong Ling, I've always endured everything for you, never saying a word or fighting back. But now, like this, as you know, I can't bear to stay any longer. About that matter, just let it be."

She started to blackmail him again!

But she thought that this would be enough to get a hold of Rong Ling's Achilles heel, oh how wrong she was. Rong Ling always understood the importance of action and inaction. He could allow his wife to suffer injustice behind others' backs, but he absolutely couldn't, in front of so many successful people, let her lose face.

"I can't just discard him." He repeated the same phrase. "The Rong family also can't afford to lose face. When you are the host, there are some things beyond your control! I already told her not to come, but since Xiao Yi brought her here, I have no choice."

Lin Meng was annoyed in her heart, what kind of play is this damn thing. It's so tender and affectionate that she really wanted to scratch the man behind him!

"What are you up to!" she asked directly, trying to pressure Li Lanqiu into revealing some inside information.

Li Lanqiu's heart sank immediately. How could she let Lin Meng discover her weakness! Once that happened, just the fact that she was a spy would be enough for Lin Meng to get rid of her!

"You have no right to know!" Li Lanqiu sneered at her.

Lin Meng didn't care, gave a faint smile, and sarcastically retorted.

"Hey, I don't want to know yet!"

At this time, looking at Rong Qi who seemed a little off, he had already arrived in time. Once he intervened, Li Lanqiu could only swallow all her words.

Lin Meng spared no mercy for her, directly addressing Rong Qi.

"Uncle Qi, this lady just said she can't bear to stay any longer and came to say goodbye to us. Both Rong Ling and I are busy. Could you please see her out"

"Lin Meng, you—" Li Lanqiu was enraged. This woman, she actually used her own words to drive her away.

Rongqi was also very agreeable, smiling and readily agreed.

"OK, no problem!"

"I won't leave." Li Lanqiu immediately replied coldly, with an unyielding persistence. "Seventh Uncle, Rong Ling is someone I persuaded to come back and be the head of the household. I won't leave."

She brazenly took credit for the victory and hoped that Rong Qi would help her out. But this shameless approach, calling him "Seventh Uncle" so familiarly, would only make Rong Qi even more displeased. This title of "Seventh Uncle," was not something to be casually called by anyone!

"A woman, it's best to just stay within your limits!"

He said a lot of profound words, and then, using the excuse that Rong Ling was about to give a speech, he led Rong Lin and his wife away. This left Li Lanqiu, who was so angry she almost choked on her rage!

She wasn't the type to be particularly profound, so her disguise wasn't convincing. While others couldn't hear her hushed conversation with Rong Lin, one could tell by their expressions that Li Lanqiu had gotten herself into a humiliating situation. Consequently, the looks directed at her held a hint of disdain.

That contemptuous look made Li Lanqiu feel like she was covered in thorns, pricking her heart and making her insides churn. At this point, a normal person would want to leave immediately, escape, and figure things out later to save face. But she wasn't like that. The more Lin Meng humiliated her, the more she wanted to trample him underfoot right then and there.

Since things have come to this, she's going to fight for it no matter what. She may not have anyone on her side now, but she has some tricks up her sleeve. If Lin Meng took away her spotlight, then she'll make her shine even brighter, absolutely steal the show and leave a lasting impression!

I highly recommend my friend A Li's novel "The New Bride of the Senior High School", book number 383147.

This is a high-quality and exciting romantic story, currently being serialized. Don't miss it! ^_^

Introduction:

At their third meeting, Chu Lingchuan stated resolutely, without a hint of hesitation, to the two elders seated in the living room: "Uncle and Auntie, I want to marry Susu."

An Ruo was stunned, petrified in his arms, forgetting even to resist. An Ruo's parents seemed equally dazed, staring blankly at Chu Lingchuan before them.

"Who said you're marrying me!" An Ruosuo exclaimed angrily.

"I have to get married!"

"Why"

"I have already filed the marriage report."
